When the officials and their families in the imperial capital of the Mingyue Kingdom received the decree that there would be a palace banquet in the evening, they were busy preparing suitable clothes and jewelry, and who to take with them. They were busy and then stopped. When the officials left the palace, they were in a state of turmoil.
Rushing home, every house is in chaos again.
On this day, the families of the courtiers, the Immortal Cultivation Family, the Beiting Family and the major families in the Imperial Capital were the busiest since the emperor ascended the throne. Everyone was so busy that everyone entered the palace for the banquet at the beginning of the afternoon.
After the Beiting Emperor separated from his cousin at noon, he rushed to the harem to the Queen's Palace and personally told the Queen the good news about Beiting He being favored by the little fairy.
The Beiting Emperor was the youngest son of the late emperor, and the most unfettered among the princes. When he was the prince, he only had two concubines, and he did not marry his wife until three years after he ascended the throne. The queen came from the Cheshui family of the Mingyue Kingdom, which was famous for its weaponry.
Queen Che Shui was just sixteen years old when she entered the palace. Now she is fifty-nine. She is well-maintained and looks like she is in her early forties.
The queen had two sons and four daughters in total. The youngest son was the emperor's ninth son Beiting He. When the Mingyue Kingdom invaded the country, both of her sons went to war. The eldest son was seriously injured and returned home within half a year.
The Emperor of Beiting also loved his wife Chongyuan more and more because of the empress's deep understanding of justice and never selfish motives in state affairs. Even though he knew that the child might never come back when he went to the battlefield, he always supported his son.
The real people from the Yulan Sect came to the palace to report to the queen. He was afraid that the palace people would not tell the story carefully, so he personally told the queen all the details about the little fairy's high regard for Beiting He, in order to comfort her love for her son.
When the queen heard that her youngest son was fine on the battlefield, and that he had caught the eyes of an immortal, her hanging heart finally fell to the ground, and she was so happy that she also cried with joy.
The Emperor of Beiting talked with the Queen for a long time, had lunch together, hurriedly returned to the living hall, moved the palace with the palace guards, and moved all his daily necessities to the study room of the main hall where the morning dynasty was held every day.
, he will temporarily stay in the study room of the outer court hall before the little fairy withdraws.
There were many people in the palace, and it took less than half an afternoon to move all the items. After that, the Beiting Emperor went to the royal academy in the southeast and directed the troops to move the royal academy to the side courtyard and separate the main courtyard and the adjacent courtyard.
Replanning.
It was not until sunset that the Beiting Emperor returned to the outer court study to bathe and change clothes. Then he went to the Royal Children's Study Hall to wait for the elders of the Luo clan of the Beiting clan to enter the palace. At the beginning of dusk, they went to the Chao Immortal Palace to invite the little fairies and
Real people went to the banquet.
Luo Cheng met his family members and returned to Chaoxiang Palace to make tea and drink in the main hall. In the afternoon, his junior sister and his junior brothers showed up after "finishing" their training. He took his junior brothers around Chaoxiang Palace and treated them very unkindly.
I picked a portion of the special flowers grown in the palace and gave them to my junior sister, and "by the way" I also picked up all the flowers of the flowering plants until not a single flower was left.
When the Beiting Emperor and several elders of the Luo clan of the Beiting clan stepped into the Chaoxian Palace, they always felt strange and couldn't tell what was wrong. When they were about to reach the main hall, they saw a row of autumn peony flowers in front of the hall with only green leaves left.
Mingwu realizes that there is something strange about it. There are no flowers in Chaoxiang Palace!
Where have the flowers gone?
As if their brains were short-circuited, everyone looked around sluggishly for a while. With a confused mood, they walked outside the main hall, climbed the steps to the eaves, first saluted the real people sitting in the hall, and then entered the main hall gently and slowly.
Seeing the Beiting Emperor leading people into the palace quietly, Luo Cheng pointed to the ground for people to sit down, and smiled slightly: "Sit down, everyone. It's still early. It's not too late to have a cup of tea before going to the palace banquet."
"Yes." Everyone from the Luo family and the Beiting family answered happily. They walked not far in front of the little fairy and the real people and sat down on both sides.
Luo Cheng took out more than twenty exquisite teacups from the storage container, poured tea, and said with a smile: "Grandnephew, the autumn flowers in Chaoxian Palace are pretty good. I picked the flowers to make hundreds of flowers wine." It is true to pick flowers to make wine.
, but he is not the one who makes the wine.
Beiting's Luo Shi and others finally knew where the flowers had gone. With expressions of "Where am I and who am I?", the Beiting Emperor was stunned and said hurriedly: "It is their blessing that flowers can enter the eyes of immortals.
"
Golden Retriever glanced at the Beiting Emperor. He was quite good at flattering, but even if he flattered him, he couldn't get the little Baihua Brew to drink.
Classmate Le Xiao would never say that the flowers were picked by her senior brothers. In the end, they all went into her pocket, and she just quietly acted like a quiet beautiful girl.
Luo Cheng calmly delivered the tea to everyone in the Luo family of the Beiting clan. Seeing the expressions of the elders of the two clans, he silently held back his laughter. He would never tell the relatives of the two clans that fairies like flowers. He felt that they
If it is said that little fairies like flowers, I am afraid that they will no longer see flowers in the palace after tomorrow.
Everyone in Beiting's Luo family was a little confused, and they drank the spiritual tea as water in a daze. It wasn't until Master Luo Cheng gave them a cup of tea that their children's hearts wandered around and wandered back to nowhere.
Chest, please sit upright and taste the spiritual tea.
The spirit tea that the immortals drank was indeed very good in taste and left a fragrant taste in their mouths. Everyone drank three cups in a row. The Emperor Beiting invited the immortals to move it to the palace banquet.
The impatient Golden Retriever roared, stretched out his paws to lift the little one and put it on his back, then walked majestically to the center of the hall with cat steps, ready to go.
Luo Cheng put away the tea cup, turned off the fire, and did not put away the stove. He and his junior brothers guarded the little junior sister on both sides, and went to the palace banquet accompanied by Beiting's Luo Shi and others.
The group passed through several gardens and corridors and bypassed the palace of the outer dynasty. Before reaching the palace banquet hall, the servants sang "Little Fairy, the real people have arrived" and "The emperor has arrived".
The courtiers and their families entered the palace early. Before the end of the Shenshi period, almost all the courtiers and their families were present and found their seats according to their rank. Some of the more special aristocratic families and the aristocratic families also arrived at the beginning of the Youshi period, including the Luo family and the Beiting family.
The children arrived at the first hour of the month, and then the queen took her concubines, princes and princesses into the palace banquet hall.
The main hall, which can accommodate more than a thousand people, has rows of palace lanterns and rows of seats. Looking around, apart from the courtiers who are serving as officials, most of the rest are young men and women, and some even carry lanterns as young as a few years old.
of children attended.
Even though there were children, the order in the banquet hall was very good. No children were crying, no one was making any noise, and even when they communicated with each other, they were in whispers.
The incense in the incense burner rises, and the room is filled with sandalwood.
When the voice of the chamberlain came from outside the hall, the subtle conversations in the hall suddenly stopped. The people who were kneeling stood up and turned to face the door of the hall. Soon, there were crowds of people at the door.
The nineteen doors of the main hall are wide open. Most people can see the entrance of the hall. They see the emperor wearing auspicious clothes and wearing an imperial crown accompanying the immortals in front. Four immortals wear blue robes. In the middle of them is a huge golden retriever.
A lion beast, with a girl wearing tooth-white clothes sitting on its back.
When the Queen of Beiting saw the person coming to the entrance of the palace, she led the concubines, princes and princesses to salute: "Welcome the little fairy, the four immortals, and the fairy beast."
The courtiers and their family members knelt down, those from a cultivating family who were in the Qi refining stage and above bowed down, and those who had not yet introduced Qi into their bodies also knelt down on one knee in a polite manner.
The Emperor of Beiting personally led the way and invited the fairies and real people to enter the palace.
Luo Cheng Yuqi wished that Yu Mowen would float into the hall calmly and with his head held high, and Luo Cheng used his true energy to help everyone up.
The people who were helped up greeted the immortal with eyes as high as a mountain. The children who were with the adults had their eyes wide open, staring at the huge golden lion, drooling all the time. That is an immortal beast, okay.
I want to touch it!
As soon as Leyun arrived at the door, she "enjoyed" the attention of all the people. She thought that she was just a wooden person who couldn't feel the heat of other people's eyes, and let the big lion carry her forward.
The eyes of all the people in the palace followed the movement of the immortals, and they also turned around and watched the immortals follow the emperor towards the main seat.
The Emperor of Beiting invited the little fairy and the four real people to the VIP seats on the east side of the main seat. He originally arranged the fairy's seat in the main seat. His uncle had told him that the little fairy did not like publicity, so he temporarily changed the seats.
, please invite the immortals to sit at the VIP seats on the east side, next to the people from the family who cultivate immortals.
Opposite the VIP seats on the east side is the seat of the Beiting family and Luo family. The concubines, princes and princesses sit behind the emperor and empress.
The Emperor of Beiting asked the little fairy and the four real people to sit down. When the fairy beast lay down beside the little fairy, he quickly took out a large basin filled with barbecue and invited the fairy beast to eat the meat.
"Little one, this kid is very good." After getting a pot of fragrant barbecue, Jin Maohou quickly hid his part and generously showed respect to the Emperor of Beiting.
Four senior brothers: "!" Being bribed by a pot of pork, Golden Retriever's bottom line must be too low.
The emperor who was praised as a child: "..." To be honest, if he were not said to be a child, he would be very happy to be treated as a child...
The Emperor of Beiting smiled silently. It didn't matter whether he was happy or not. As long as Lord Immortal Beast was happy, it was fine. So, he turned around and walked to the main seat to sit down. He waved grandly: "All monks and ministers, please take a seat."
The Immortal Cultivation Family also gave a special face, saying "Thank you Emperor" in unison with all the courtiers and family members, and they all sat cross-legged. Those with children also took good care of their children.
Everyone from the Beiting clan and the Luo clan also sat down. The queen sat down to the west of the emperor, and the concubines, princes and princesses sat upright.
After everyone sat down, the sound of silk and bamboo could be heard in the side hall. The palace servants who had been waiting for a long time filed into the hall with trays. The cold dishes were brought first, and the wine and tea were served in advance after the table was set.
While the palace servants were serving food, Le Yun was leisurely looking around. She looked around and saw that the table for the emperor and the empress was a two-person table, while the table for the public at the palace banquet was a long table that could seat four people, which was usually enough for a family of four.
Most people, such as the Xiuxian family and the Beiting Luo family, have tables for two people.
She and her fellow brothers, as well as the monks from the Jindan and above cultivating families, had separate tables. There were incense burners, small basins for washing hands, and kettles of water beside the tables.
The Beiting Emperor had very few concubines, only fifteen concubines, twenty-two princes, princesses, grandsons, princes, princesses, etc. The youngest princess was only five years old, and the oldest was a prince, thirty-four years old.
After looking at the emperor's concubines, and then scanning the entire palace, his eyes finally fell on the seats between the Beiting family and Luo family. There were more than a hundred young men and women, dozens of young women, and a dozen old and weak people.
Elderly men and women, young men and women under the age of sixteen and over two years old.
Le Yun glanced at the group of children sandwiched between the Beiting family and the Luo family. She knew what she was doing. She pretended to be puzzled and turned her head to ask the elder brother Xiangyi: "Elder brother, where is the seat in the corner between the Beiting family and the Luo family?"
How to say it?"
The voice of Sizhu was very soft. The courtiers, family members, and the immortal cultivating family all expected the little fairy to have time to visit the children of their own family. No one made any noise. When the little fairy opened her mouth, most people heard it and everyone listened attentively.
.
Luo Cheng looked at the seats between the Luo family and the Beiting family, his eyes swept over the faces of the group of children, and he replied warmly: "Those are the orphans, widows, and parents of the fallen soldiers. Some soldiers have no family or relatives.
If they are unable to raise their children, or if they have relatives and friends who cannot bear the heavy responsibility of raising their children, the emperor will order his local officials to raise the orphans and support the parents of the fallen soldiers. For some people with special circumstances, the emperor will take them to the imperial capital and be cared for and raised by the Beiting family."
The fact that the Beiting Emperor treated the families of fallen soldiers well was enough to make Le Yun stand in awe: "Only for this reason, the Beiting family should be immortal forever."
"Soldiers fight for the country, raise the orphans of fallen soldiers, and provide for their parents. It is the responsibility of the Beiting clan. They should not be treated like little fairies." The elders of the Beiting clan were a little ashamed. The Beiting clan was just doing their best to be a royal family.
The little fairy praised them so much for their responsibilities, and they felt ashamed.
"The emperor of Beiting is kind and the people's wishes are the same, and the empire's destiny will be prosperous." Le Yun's favorable impression of the Beiting royal family has risen to another level. No wonder most of the people in the Beiting family and the courtiers have meritorious deeds and have done meritorious deeds.
, presumably some courtiers also contributed to raising the orphans of soldiers and sincerely worked for the welfare of the people, so they also have some merit.
"Thank you for the truth of the little fairy." When the Beiting clan members and courtiers heard the little fairy saying that the country's destiny would be prosperous, they fell to the ground and thanked them excitedly.
"You're welcome." Le Yun nodded, pulled Senior Brother Nuan Nanyu and Senior Senior Brother closer, and whispered quietly: "Senior Senior Brother Seventh Senior Brother, please remember, among those people, the third row is the seventh from north to south.
The children in light white clothes, the twelfth child in the seventh row from north to south, wearing light white mid-collar collars with blue trim, will be sent to the royal school tomorrow."
Luo Cheng Yuqi put his head close to the junior sister and listened to her order. They looked over, remembered the characteristics of the person, and asked in a low voice: "Little junior sister, are there any more?"
"Yes." Le Yun decisively turned her gaze to where the Luo family members were sitting: "Among the Luo family, the young man wearing scarlet clothes at the fourth table in the first row must be born in the Year of Water; further south, the fourth person sitting in the second row is
There is a young man wearing brown clothes at the fifth table to the south. Senior brothers, please ask the emperor if this young man would like to be my little book boy for a while."
Luo Cheng was filled with joy when he heard that his junior sister named the young man from Luo's family. He wrote the person down. The younger junior sister's target changed. He quickly looked at the young boy who had been selected as the book boy. He was shocked and surprised: "Little junior sister, if I
You read that right, the little book boy you ordered is the child of Marshal Hounan’s family in Zhennan, does he have a destiny?"
