Shangyu Chen looked at Xiao Chuhong from a distance, raised his glass and toasted him, then raised his head and drank it all. Shangyu Chen's eyes were like black jade, his body was majestic, and his eyes were as formidable as cold stars. His black hair was tied up with a crown.
The top is inlaid with thirteen pearls. It is lined with a black toga and has a four-clawed python embroidered with golden silk thread. It is tied with a dark belt and a jade pendant with a dragon pattern hanging from the waist.
Xiao Chuhong especially likes cool colors, but some clothes look old when worn by others of his age. However, Xiao Chuhong has been on the battlefield since he was a child, and has already developed the style of a general. Especially after Chu Moxuan inhabited his body, the two of them already
Similar faces blend in subtly.
The two looked at each other 'affectionately', completely forgetting everyone in the Shaohua Hall.
With a tacit smile, Xiao Chuhong took the wine glass handed by the palace attendant, not caring about the probing glances of others, raised the glass and drank, his Adam's apple rolled, and the cold wine went down his throat and into his stomach. He squeezed the wine glass tightly with his five fingers, turned it upside down, and
A drop of wine leaked out.
Ji Yunge, who was at the women's table, looked at Xiao Chuhong through the bamboo curtain, and suddenly thought of Ji Mengping's daily teachings to her.
No! She must not be passionate about Xiao Chuhong. She promised her father that she would help His Highness Prince Qin ascend to the position of crown prince. By then, she will be the most noble woman in the world.
Like Xiao Chuhong, sooner or later he will end up like his father and end up sadly.
"The Emperor has arrived! The Queen has arrived! Concubine Yu has arrived! His Royal Highness Prince Qin has arrived!"
The waiter gave a series of loud shouts, and the faces of the people who were originally of different colors changed, some were respectful, some were disdainful, some were surprised, some were unwilling.
Looking at their surprised expressions, the one who was most proud was naturally Shang Yici.
Apart from the four of them, the most eye-catching one is of course the 'boy' with red eyes.
Yu Wude and others, who were originally in a confrontation, had already learned the identity of this person from Shang Yici, and they did not show any surprise.
The other courtiers, concubines and ministers' families were unaware of what was going on, but from the solemn expressions on Shang Yuzhen's and others' faces, as well as their unconscious attitude of being accommodating to the capital, it was not difficult to see that this person's home court should be today.
Or maybe, this confusing palace banquet was just for him!
Shangyu Chen lifted up his sleeves and robe comfortably, placed the wine glass on the desk with a clang, and led everyone to stand up and salute.
"My sons and ministers meet with their father, the emperor, their mother, and their noble concubines."
"I bow to the emperor, the queen, and the noble concubine. Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and the empress is a thousand years old!"
The emperor and empress walked hand in hand on the steps and sat upright directly above. After taking their seats, Shang Yuzhen pointed to the lower right position and said with a pleasant smile, "Master Qi, please take a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The young master cupped his hands perfunctorily and sat down with his legs crossed in a carefree manner.
Shang Yujie didn't take it seriously at his rudeness, and said in a deep voice downwards, "Everyone, please excuse yourself and get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
People with different expressions sat down one after another, and then began to discuss in low voices who was the person who could be treated with such courtesy by the emperor.
"My dear friends, I have inherited the blessings of Heaven and followed the fate of Heaven. The palace banquet planned today is actually to welcome Patriarch Pheasant Di to Luoqi again."
"Ancestor Pheasant Di?" One of the courtiers stood up and bowed, and asked, "Your Majesty? May I ask whether the Patriarch Pheasant Di you mentioned was the one who regarded divine punishment as nothing and saved tens of millions of people from the plague?
The copyist in the movie?"
As soon as these words came out, there was a wave of shock in Shaohua Hall.
It was as if their bodies were nailed to the spot, unable to move at all.
It is rumored that the ancestor of Pheasant Di has passed the year of blooming again. About thirty years ago, the plague broke out in Luoqi. Many innocent people only had symptoms such as fever and fever at first, and there were signs of mutual infection. The local government heard about this
Immediately afterwards, doctors from the town were sent for diagnosis and treatment. Although the patient was temporarily cured, within a few days, more and more people were infected one after another.
At that time, the local county magistrate was in his promotion period. In order to prevent the incident from spreading and affecting his achievements, he sent his officials to drive all the people who were 'suspected' of being infected to a deserted village.
It would have been fine if they were just left to fend for themselves, but in vain of their humanity, they cruelly ordered all the people to be burned to death.
The fire burned for seven days, and everyone who heard about it was chilled.
I thought that after this incident, the county magistrate could sit back and relax. Who would have thought that the plague was so fierce and dormant in the human body for a long time. Before he set fire to the village, people in several villages had already fled after hearing the news.
However, in just a few days, thousands of people have been affected.
When the Marquis, a high-ranking official in Kyoto, received the news and reported it to the court, the disaster caused by the plague was already out of control.
Just when they were at their wits' end, rumors spread that God would destroy Luo Qi, causing people to panic.
Nearly a month later, more than 10,000 people had died from the plague.
A mysterious man who called himself "Master Li" suddenly appeared, distributed the medicine specially developed for the plague to the people, and handed the prescription to the imperial court. While the imperial court was relieving the victims, it also opened the treasury to purchase medicinal materials to treat the refugees.
However, very few people have seen the true face of the rumored 'Master Qi'. After the plague ended, he did not accept any reward and once again disappeared among the people and disappeared without a trace. In short, except for the prescription and the people's
Apart from praise and gratitude, no trace was left behind.
However, Shang Yu frame decreed at that time that he was named the 'Ancestor of Pheasant Di', and a merit monument was built for him outside the city of Kyoto. His status was equivalent to a first-class official in the court, but in his position, he
There is no need to enter the DPRK and participate in politics every day.
The thoughts of everyone in the palace turned around, looking at the 'young man' sitting below the emperor, and some suspected that the emperor had admitted the wrong person. After all, the ministers were summoned for this person, and no news was revealed in advance, so as not to arouse deep suspicion.
But...the only similarity between this 'young man' and the rumors is that he has a pair of 'red eyes' that are different from ordinary people.
"Yu Aiqing's guess is good. This is the ancestor of Pheasant Di, named Gongzi Qi." Shang Yuzhen smoothed the stubble on his chin and looked at Gongzi Qi.
Most of the lower-ranking officials bowed and saluted again, "See you, ancestor!"
Young Master Lihun nonchalantly stuffed a small piece of pastry into his mouth. The sweet but not greasy taste left him unsatisfied. But the 'rough' appearance of eating it made people look askance.
He raised the back of his hand to wipe away the pastry residue from his lips, clapped his hands to shake off the remaining residue, and laughed loudly, "Get up, get up! No gifts, no gifts! I'm just a countryman, and I can't afford the honors of all of you.
Salute. Also, please don’t call me ancestor, I like others to call me Young Master."
Everyone below stood up after looking at each other awkwardly. Only when the emperor and the others arrived, Xiao Chuhong, who had been leaning against the vermilion pillar, raised his eyes and glanced at the beam.
You old man! He has disappeared since he returned to Beijing. It turns out he entered the palace quietly. This chapter has been completed!
