Chapter 5 Toast Tu Su
"The sun and moon light the heavenly virtue, and the mountains and rivers strengthen the emperor's career!"
As soon as the music started playing, everyone at the table stood up together, drank in the direction of Emperor Jing, kowtowed and worshiped, and spoke in unison.
After everyone said this auspicious hymn, they all shouted long live.
Its sound is like a dragon bell, resounding through the sky.
Long Yan was overjoyed, his face glowing with red light, he raised the golden and jade-carved golden cup on the Golden Dragon Banquet Table, and shouted with high spirits:
"May my Dajing mountains and rivers be forever solid! May my country be prosperous forever! May my descendants and subjects be blessed for thousands of years!"
After Emperor Jing said this, he raised his neck and drank the jade liquid in the golden cup.
Everyone raised their glasses to congratulate you and have fun with you.
The Zhengyuan Hall immediately regained its joy and harmony, and became even more united.
"My son, I sincerely wish my father that in the new year, he may be blessed with good fortune, longevity and good health, may the dragon soar thousands of miles, beat the Northern Barbarians, and may the wind shake the mountains!"
The prince took the lead in holding a cup of freshly fermented hot Tusu, and began to offer congratulations to the emperor and then to the emperor.
As usual, the concubines, princes, princes, relatives and royal family members all gave their congratulations one after another, in an orderly manner and in a warm atmosphere.
This was the first time that Lu Chengfeng had to say those polite and pleasant words of respect in front of so many people. Although he was born with a clever mouth, he was inevitably different from the people who had lived in the royal palace for a long time.
Fortunately, he spoke softly and had not yet entered the register. Sitting between the middle and lower tables, he had plenty of time to prick up his ears and listen carefully to all the routines of his predecessors.
When it was his turn, he calmly raised his glass and spoke with eloquent words.
Just as he was about to take a seat with a sigh of relief, he heard Emperor Jing say:
"Chengfeng, your etiquette has improved a lot these days. Let's do it on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year."
Lu Chengfeng was stunned when he heard this.
King Mian quickly stood up and shouted: "Why don't you thank me quickly!"
Only then did Lu Chengfeng understand that Emperor Jing had ordered that he be formally enshrined on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.
It is said that this is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, which is the day when Dajing worships his ancestors once a year. Emperor Jing decided to enshrine him on that day, so naturally it was held together with the ceremony of worshiping his ancestors.
Firstly, it can be used to inform the ancestors of the royal family in time that they have a child; secondly, it can be used on the auspicious day of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year to receive happiness and good luck; thirdly, it can show the saints and practice frugality to serve the world.
Killing three birds with one stone is so wonderful. It doesn't even have to be done by Qin Tianjian.
He had previously said that he would wait for the Imperial Heavenly Supervisor to calculate the auspicious days of the zodiac, and at the same time stay in the capital to practice the royal rules. He was secretly observing Lu Chengfeng's every move to see if he was up to the task.

As soon as the words came out, the eyes of everyone present were bright. It seemed that the emperor was very satisfied with the performance of the illegitimate son Mian Wang. He actually addressed everyone at the New Year's Eve family banquet in which officials from the Ministry of Rites, Taichang Temple, and Qintian Prison were absent.
Members of the royal family announced the decision first.
Yes, Lu Chengfeng's inclusion in the royal family is indeed a family matter, but royal family matters are even more of a state matter.
Although the emperor was praising his etiquette and style, what was on his mind was probably the rumors surrounding the Jiang family murder case before the holiday!
The royal relatives who have been in the court for a long time and in the deep palace are all masters of catching the slightest change. At this moment, they can't help but secretly speculate in their hearts:
Today! I’m afraid things are going to change!
However, since this Lu Chengfeng was Prince Mian’s wandering wild child, why did he always follow Prince Xuan’s back and mess around after entering the capital?
Regarding Jiang's case, with the current momentum of the news, I'm afraid the prince will not let him go!
To say that his newborn calf is not afraid of tigers is nothing like his fearful and lazy father!
However, as the grandson of the emperor, even if he lacks long-term strategy and has no intention of taking the throne, should he still be impartial and watch the show from the center?
I don’t know what benefits King Xuan promised him.
Is this wild grandson really stupid or fake?
Everyone was filled with admiration, but it was all smoke and mirrors.
The old men in the officialdom couldn't understand Lu Chengfeng's innocent heart.
If he reveals his great ambitions and shows that he has no desire but is strong, will it be like showing off his underpants, and others will laugh at him?
It is said that on New Year's Eve during the Jing Dynasty, the people stayed up all night and stayed up all night.
The nobles in the palace were changing cups one by one, and they had already drank to the top.
Especially Emperor Jing, who was toasted one after another by all the Lu family members, and was already too drunk.
It’s so difficult to be an emperor! Not only do you have to have a good brain, you also have to have good kidneys!
Lu Chengfeng went out to return to the banquet for the second time. He looked at the most respected place at the golden dragon banquet table. He was being helped back to the palace by someone who was helping him back to the palace. His spotted hair on his temples was blown by the smell of alcohol between his mouth and nose.
Every move is very vivid.
Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but laugh. This supreme person in the world also has a frail, cute and unrestrained side. It's really rare to see him!
Could it be that the annual New Year's Eve family banquet, as well as the royal ritual of taking turns toasting the emperor and empress, were just to allow these relatives of the emperor to drink and be emboldened, so that they could show off their authority in front of the aloof Emperor Jing?
It’s really painful and happy! I’m usually scolded and harsh.
Any blame or complaint, any unwillingness to accept it, were all annihilated in this small sip of wine.
In an instant, the monarch and his ministers were talking to each other heartily over the wine, expressing their loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness.
To put it bluntly, everything is in the wine!
It’s the same as their 21st century wine table culture!
The feeling is deep, the mouth is dull, the feeling is shallow, lick it. If it weren't for the fear of being talked about royal rules, gentleman's rules and so on, Lu Chengfeng would like to turn into a dice. The five leaders, six six six, roared, the decisive battle is coming.
Dawn!
The lively palace dinner ended in a peaceful atmosphere with singing and laughter.
When leaving the palace, it coincides with the child's time.
In the sky above Jinghua City, inside and outside the imperial city, the sky was full of fireworks, and the sound of firecrackers filled the sky.
The new year has arrived and the old year is gone.
The young man looked at the bright fireworks in the sky with joy in his eyes.
"Chengfeng, my father and mother are usually stationed in Changzhou. On the sixth day of the lunar month, after you are officially enshrined, we will return."
After Mian Wang pondered for a moment, he lowered his voice and said seriously:
"After I returned to Beijing, I also heard about some things. The Jiang family's murder case has been a hot topic in Jinghua City recently. How did you get involved?"
Lu Chengfeng was riding in a car with his biological father for the first time, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
He originally looked at his father as his legitimate son, Xiao Qin'er, but he didn't expect that when he left the palace after the banquet, he actually pulled him into the splendid carriage specially designed for the prince. He couldn't help but be shocked.
At this moment, I realized that I was waiting here.
He was a little reserved, but wanted to appear nonchalant. He spread his hands and replied:
"For the record, my father, I happened to be on Nanshi Street that day. I heard someone shouting for help, so I went to save the person. Unexpectedly, I pulled out the turnip and brought out the mud, which would lead to a big mess later."
"Are you serious? How come it's just right! Answer me honestly, did the Fourth Brother ask you to investigate?"
When King Mian saw this, he frowned, blew his beard and said seriously.
"Really not! I just draw my sword to help when there is injustice!"
Lu Chengfeng patted his chest and said righteously.
Prince Mian's slender brows with peach blossoms actually felt a chill at this moment! His sharp eyes stared closely at the son in front of him who had only known each other for a day.
Lu Chengfeng actually raised his head and looked up at him without any hesitation.
Chapter completed!
