It is said that when arranging this seat, the officials of the Ministry of Rites were very worried for a while. Finally, after considering it, they went to report to Xuanyuan Lin and then arranged the sword in the first place.
Dao sat down next to Xuanyuan Lin, while Baili Wushang and Wu Jiu were arranged to sit on top of Dao.
Yun Jingchu was assigned to the female guest's seat opposite them.
Yun Jingchu took the seat above the eldest princess Aoxing. As soon as he sat down, the eldest princess gave him a friendly smile and said hello: "Princess Kang."
This eldest princess is younger than Dao, Xuanyuan Lin and Xuanyuan Yu. She is the fourth child of Emperor Ao Xing, born to Concubine De.
Concubine De has no son, only this daughter, so she has no conflicts with the concubines who have princes in the palace. In addition, the eldest princess has a very peaceful personality and has no friction or conflict with everyone. The two of them live in the palace.
It was quite peaceful.
"The Emperor has arrived - the Queen has arrived - the Imperial Concubine has arrived - the Xian Concubine has arrived - the Shu Concubine has arrived - the Virtuous Concubine has arrived -" Soon, the eunuch's announcement came from outside the hall.
Everyone stood up quickly and stood in front of their seats, waiting to greet the empress and the fourth concubine.
Soon, Emperor Ao Xing strode in with Gongsun Yue, Concubine Xue and three other concubines.
Everyone in Aotian Kingdom quickly knelt down to salute. Naturally, certain veterans and Yun Jingchu and the other three guests did not have to kneel down, they just slightly bent over.
"Everyone, please go back to your seats." After sitting down, Ao Xingdi said loudly. He had a hearty smile on his face and seemed to be in a good mood.
Next, the chief eunuch beside Emperor Ao Xing read out a long list of gifts, which were all given by various princes, queens, high-ranking concubines, and confidential ministers. Among them, there were also knives, Yun Jingchu, and Baili Wushang.
As well as the gifts given by Wu Jiu. As for the birthday gifts given by other concubines and officials who are not of sufficient rank, they are not qualified to be recited in the main hall.
As for the gifts, except for the unique bottle of health elixir given by Wu Jiu, the gifts given by other people, no matter how unique they are, are nothing unusual.
It is worth mentioning that Xuanyuan Lin's birthday gift was very simple, just a few calligraphy and paintings, which looked simple and elegant. The sword's birthday gift was nothing special, it was just a jade-carved Kirin, which was considered auspicious and pleasing.
After the gift list was read out, the banquet officially began.
The chief eunuch gave a high-pitched "dinner" and the food came in like flowing water.
After the food was served, everyone began to toast Emperor Ao Xing and congratulate him on his birthday. Of course, except for a few important people, everyone else was together.
After celebrating the birthday, the silk and bamboo trees suddenly rose, and a palace lady floated in and began to dance. Everyone began to eat and enjoy it.
Concubine Shu sat on Yun Jingchu's left hand, and the eldest princess sat on her right. The two of them kept saying this to Yun Jingchu, for fear of neglecting the guest Yun Jingchu.
Yun Jingchu said this to the two of them with a smile, while carefully extracting useful information from their words.
Opposite, when Yun Jing first saw Xuanyuan Lin, after paying respects to Emperor Aoxing, he changed the wine glass and replaced it with juice.
Next, people stood up from time to time to pay respects to Xuanyuan Lin, Dao, Baili Wushang and Wu Jiujiu. In a short period of time, Yun Jingchu saw Dao and the three drinking no less than ten cups.
The alcohol content is quite high, and those three people will definitely get drunk if they drink like this, Yun Jingchu murmured in his heart.
