Capital Star, October 15th, today is the annual Harvest Festival. This is a unique festival here in the Star Empire. It is said to have originated very early and has always been valued. Even now that we have entered the interstellar age, it is harvest time for all planets.
It has long been different, but October 15th is still the Harvest Festival. Many planets in the Star Empire will celebrate this festival on this day, especially in the capital star, where it is very grand. The Imperial Palace
A banquet will be held on this day, and all officials will attend. Of course, several adult princes and princesses will also attend. In the Star Empire, princesses also have equal inheritance rights. Of course, this is just the saying, those princesses mainly want to
It is almost impossible for the princess to inherit the throne. As long as the prince is still there, it is almost impossible for the princess to inherit the throne. Those ministers will not allow it, but the princess's status in the Star Empire is still very high. For a banquet like this, the princess
It is also necessary to participate, and as Zuoqiu is the prince, of course he must participate.
Zuo Qiuzheng is wearing a crown prince's crown today. His clothes are also the color of the Ming Dynasty. However, his clothes are not five-melon golden dragons, but golden dragons of golden melons. At the same time, the number of dragons is not nine, but five.
Before the banquet begins, Zuo Qiuwen will take the civil and military officials to worship heaven and earth. What they worship here is either the god or the heaven and earth. After worshiping, they will return to the main hall. There are also people in the main hall.
The seats had been arranged long ago, and then everyone sat in the hall according to their positions. After everyone was seated, Zuo Qiuwen looked at everyone and said, "Let's have a banquet."
The eunuch immediately shouted: "Let's have a banquet!" Following his voice, the palace maids walked in from both sides of the hall like butterflies wearing flowers, and began to place dishes on each table. They now use a separate seating system.
There is a small table in front of everyone, and food and wine will be placed on the table. Everyone will sit there and drink and eat food in the ancient kneeling posture. Of course, they are not really kneeling there, and
Kneeling down, it looks like you are kneeling, but actually you have a small stool.
In the Star Empire, there are certain quantities of dishes for the Harvest Festival. Only four dishes can be served at the Harvest Festival, but there must be more dishes, and a bowl of rice and a pot of wine must be served. These are all must-haves for the Harvest Festival.
Something.
But of course now we won't only serve four dishes. Although there are also four dishes here, these four plates are a bit big. Each plate is round and divided into eight small grids. Each small grid is
It is one dish, that is to say, it is said to be four dishes, but in fact, it is thirty-two dishes. Moreover, the plate itself is very large, and there is a lot of food in each grid.
After the dishes were put on the table, Zuo Qiuwen picked up the wine glass. The eunuch next to him immediately picked up a jade hammer and gently rang a jade bell beside him.
The bell rang, and the hall suddenly became quiet. Zuo Qiuwen glanced at everyone, and then said: "Today we, the monarchs and ministers, are here to celebrate the Harvest Festival together. The Harvest Festival is an annual festival of our Star Empire. It is a celebration of our
It is the harvest festival of the Star Empire. A good harvest means that all the citizens of our Star Empire have food to eat, they can all be full, and they can all eat well. Eating is everyone’s top priority, although none of us seem to have enough to eat now.
, but the issue of food is still the top priority of the empire, and I hope everyone will not forget this."
Everyone responded in unison, and Zuo Qiuwen then said: "The empire has become stronger, but we cannot take it lightly. The six realms are watching eagerly. All of us must work hard and do our own things well to make the empire stronger. This
It is also the wish of all of us. When the empire is better, all of us will be better off. A good harvest means that the empire will be better. Come on, let’s raise a glass together to celebrate the Harvest Festival. Let’s do it.” After saying this, Zuo Qiuwen took the cup in one sip.
The wine in the glass was drained, and then all the ministers said in unison: "Congratulations to your Majesty, congratulations to the empire, do it!" Then they drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. And arriving here also represents the banquet.
After the official project at the banquet is over, everyone can dine freely. Although there are many rules in the Star Empire, there are actually not so many rules at the banquet. As long as Zuo Qiuwen finishes speaking, everyone can
After eating your own meal, you can even take the wine glass to other people's tables and chat with them while drinking. This situation is so common at banquets that no one will find it strange.
Zuo Qiu Zheng was sitting there, took a sip of wine, and slowly ate the food. At this moment, he saw the seventh prince Zuo Qiu Yu standing up, and then walking towards him. Zuo Qiu Zheng's two
His eyes flashed involuntarily, but he pretended not to see it. He put down his chopsticks, picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine. He quietly waited for the other party to arrive. He knew that the other party must be here because of Tang Yifei's affairs.
He was just waiting for the other party to arrive. When he wanted to see what the other party wanted to say, he just did it.
Zuo Qiuyu walked up to Zuo Qiu Zheng, saluted Zuo Qiu Zheng and said, "Brother, how about we brothers have a drink." He looked very similar to Zuo Qiu Zheng, but the smile on his face made him look at the whole person.
He seems to be very gentle, and looks like two completely different people from Zuo Qiu Zheng. The outside world also thinks very highly of him, saying that he is a benevolent and righteous man, and many ministers favor him.
Zuo Qiu was looking at Zuo Qiu Yu and smiled slightly. Then he stood up, raised his glass and said, "Seventh brother, it's been a long time since we got together to drink. Come on, let's have a drink."
." After saying that, he clinked glasses with Zuo Qiuyu and drank the wine in one sip. Zuo Qiuyu also drank up the wine in the glass. Then the two of them flashed their glasses and smiled.
Zuo Qiuyu then said to Zuo Qiuzheng: "Brother, I heard that some time ago, the formation master in your house was poisoned. I wonder if the murderer has been found? The people in the East Palace were poisoned. This is terrible.
It’s not a trivial matter, it must be taken seriously.”
Zuo Qiuzheng said with a smile: "Yes, I have attached great importance to it and sealed off the East Palace for a few days. But unfortunately, I have never found out who was the instigator. In the end, I can only let it go. But this matter
I will not give up, I will definitely continue to investigate, and sooner or later I will find the person who is responsible." Zuo Qiu Zheng said at the end, his face became serious, which made Zuo Qiu Yu feel a chill in his heart.
Then Zuo Qiuyu spoke again: "I heard that there is a new formation master in my elder brother's house? I wonder what this person's strength is?"
Zuoqiu Zheng said with a smile: "It's okay, it can only be used to deal with it. After all, it is not easy to find a suitable formation master. As you know, the empire wants to find a proficient formation master."
It’s not an easy thing to do legally.”
Zuo Qiuyu nodded, then he looked at Zuo Qiu Zheng and said: "I also have two formation masters in my house, do you want to give one to the eldest brother?"
Zuo Qiuzheng said with a smile: "That's not necessary. The formation masters in my house are enough for us. We don't need too many people. Seventh brother, you should keep your formation masters for yourself." Zuo Qiu Zheng said with a smile.
It was very clear that it was impossible for him to agree to such a thing, so he could only say this.
Zuo Qiuyu said with a smile: "Didn't Big Brother say that the formation masters in your house can only be used as makeshifts? Then why are you rejecting me now? If Big Brother is worried, then let's let them compete.
Well, brother, what do you think?" After saying this, Zuo Qiuyu looked at Zuo Qiuzheng, and when Zuo Qiuzheng heard what Zuo Qiuyu said, he couldn't help being stunned. He immediately understood that this process was Zuo Qiuyu's.
destination.
At this time, of course he couldn't retreat. If he gave in at this time, then where would the majesty of his crown prince be? So Zuo Qiu was smiling and said: "Okay, I wonder what kind of competition the seventh brother wants?"
When Zuo Qiu was saying this, he looked at Zuo Qiuyu intently. He really wanted to hear how Zuo Qiuyu would compete. He was curious about what Zuo Qiuyu's ultimate goal was.
Zuo Qiuyu smiled and said: "But let's do this. Let's ask Father to be a witness. Let's compete together. How about the location of our competition is on the Jiulong Pagoda?" When Zuo Qiuyu said this
, looking fixedly at Zuo Qiuzheng.
Zuo Qiu Zhengyi frowned. This Jiulong Pagoda is a protected cultural relic here in Capital Star. It is an ancient pagoda with a masonry structure. It is divided into nine floors. It has a history of several thousand years. It has been repaired over the years. This is the key point.
To protect cultural relics, the tower is divided into nine floors. The area of each floor is not very large, but the appearance of the tower is very beautiful. Each floor is very exquisitely designed, and the reliefs are also very beautiful. And the reason why it is so
There is a reason why it is called Long Tower, that is, every time it rains, the water flows down from the tower, and the tower will make bursts of very pleasant sounds, and when the wind blows, the tower will
It emits another pleasant sound. It is precisely because of this characteristic that it is called Jiulong Pagoda, which means nine turns of exquisiteness. It is a rare cultural relic.
Jiulong Pagoda usually doesn't even allow anyone to go up there, but now Zuo Qiuyu wants to compete on Jiulong Pagoda. Zuo Qiu Zheng couldn't help being a little surprised, but he immediately shook his head and said: "No, Jiulong Pagoda is
It is a cultural relic. If there is any damage due to the competition, then we are all sinners. Let's move to another place." Zuoqiu is not afraid of the competition, but he absolutely does not agree to compete on Jiulong Pagoda, like Jiulong Pagoda.
He would not allow any damage to cultural relics like the Long Pagoda. After all, he would become an emperor in the future, and these things were all belonging to the empire. He would not allow any damage to these things.
At this time Zuo Qiuwen also saw the two brothers talking, and he said: "Prince, Yu'er, what are you talking about?"
As soon as he spoke, everyone in the hall fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Zuo Qiu Zheng and Zuo Qiu Yu. Zuo Qiu Zheng saluted Zuo Qiu Wen and said, "Father, this is it, seventh brother
I heard that the formation master in my house had an accident recently. I found another formation master. He was worried that my formation master was not strong enough, so he wanted to give me one of the formation masters in his house. Of course I didn't
He wanted to win people's love, so he refused. However, the seventh brother was really worried about the new formation master in my house, so he directly proposed that the formation master in his house should be compared with the formation master in my house.
Master, I agreed to a competition. However, the seventh brother said that he wanted to let the array masters compete on the Jiulong Pagoda. I did not agree. The Jiulong Pagoda is a cultural relic and cannot be damaged at all, so we are discussing now.
