Chapter 46: Court Feast (1)
Chapter 46: Court Banquet (Part 1)
Xiaoxiao opened her eyes in a daze, rubbed her gently twice, and kept chirping, looking unjust. When I wanted to speak a lesson for a few times, it yawned again and fell asleep, and made a gentle snoring sound in between her breath.
I was shocked and had to stuff it into my arms. I lay on the chair and felt so angry.
After a while, Xiao Duozi secretly brought the underwear and waited for me to change it behind the screen. I walked out of Nan Study Room.
"I'm going to the emperor." The eunuchs and palace maids outside the door hurriedly bowed down.
"All up, I'll set up in the Golden Palace." I waved my hand lightly. Xiao Duozi hurriedly supported me and helped me into the dragon sedan chair.
I glanced left and right and said in confusion: "Where is Eunuch Mu?"
"If you go back to the emperor, Eunuch Mu has already taken the lead in the Golden Palace and the arrangements are appropriate." Xiao Duozi answered Da respectfully.
"Well, he is diligent. I just appointed him as the chief supervisor of the main office and started to be busy." I patted my head and smiled, "I am confused, let's go." I waved my hand gently.
"Get up the sedan chair and set it on the Golden Palace." Xiao Duozi shouted hurriedly. Haha, this kid is getting more and more agile. I think he has been following me for a long time and is familiar with my surname. He is no longer as scared as before.
It didn't take too much time to start from the Nanshu Room to reach the Golden Palace. It was only after sorting out the clothes and etiquette in the Zhonghe Hall, which delayed a lot of time.
Xiao Duozi helped me and walked through the inner corridor of Zhonghe Hall to the Golden Palace. He could only hear him shouting: "The Emperor is here~."
"Long live my emperor." A loud sound of magnificent harmony came from the hall. The Golden Palace was filled with dozens of banquets, and civil and military officials, as well as new Jinshi, were gathered together.
I slowly walked to the dragon throne, carried one hand on my back, and waved my hand in front of me in a deep voice: "All the families of you should be calm."
Standing at the forefront are first- and second-rank officials, as well as new Jinshi in the first grade. Everyone is wearing a big red cloak and a big red flower. Especially Tao Ziying, the new top student, has the largest flower on his chest, and it also shows that his future is the most promising.
"As the saying goes, there are four great blessings in life. After a long drought, I meet old friends in a foreign land. When I get a title on the gold list, I will be in the bridal chamber at night." I laughed loudly and said, "You are new to you. Now you have a great time to get a title on the gold list. I want to congratulate you very much."
"Weichen, please thank you for your kindness." The new Jinshi knelt down and shouted.
As soon as I finished speaking, a group of eunuchs accompanied him, carrying the pallets under the red silk, and distributed the wine in the pallet to each new Jinshi.
Xiao Duozi hurriedly held the tray under the golden silk, and poured 70% to 80% of the wine from a jade cup on it. Although I didn’t know the etiquette and rules, I also knew that it was for me to drink. So I raised my hand and brought the wine over, lifted my sleeves and said, “You are new to you. The prosperity of my Great Wu Dynasty will be determined by everyone’s efforts. I represent God and the people, and I wish you a cup.” I raised my neck.
"Weichens and others will definitely live up to the emperor's high expectations." All the Jinshis all drank all the wine.
"Okay, now it's your great joy. I'll keep my words of disappointment for him. Let's go to the table." I smiled and waved.
Suddenly, another group of eunuchs brought over an Eight Immortals square table and placed it directly under my dragon chair. A piece of yellow cloth, wine and meals were laid on it, and they were brought up one after another.
"Your Majesty, please come to the table." Xiao Duozi helped me and walked towards the table. My seat is called a single table. Generally speaking, I sit alone.
But I was not willing to sit alone, so boring. So I waved my hand and said, "Liu Zhengming, Tao Qian, come and have a drink with me."
"I obey the order." This did not violate any regulations, so the two of them agreed readily and stood beside me.
After I sat in the chief first, Tao Qian and Liu Zhenming sat on both sides of my hands one by one.
"You three, come here too." I greeted Tao Ziying and the others in the top three.
Tao Ziying and others immediately knelt down, bowed a few times and said, "I'm going to thank the emperor for his kindness." Then they sat down one by one according to their rankings.
"Little Fatty Liu, come here too." I greeted the boy Liu Buyong. I saw that he looked a little drowsy and didn't seem to hear what I said.
Liu Zhengming jumped out quickly, twisted Liu Buyong's ear, lowered his voice and cursed angrily: "Stupid brat, the emperor is asking you to sit over." As he said that, he pulled him to the seat and sat down at the last hand.
"Your Majesty, I'm guilty of a crime and I'm arrogant." Liu Zhenming immediately greeted me again.
"It's okay, Liu Aiqing is still young and will be sensible in the future." I smiled and said.
"Liu Buyong, don't you like drinking too? Why don't you do it? Could it be that the wine in the imperial kitchen is not as good as that outside?" I laughed.
"Report to the emperor." Liu Buyong yawned repeatedly, "This wine is a good wine, and the dishes are a good dish. It's just too boring and restrained. How can you drink flower wine outside and be so comfortable and comfortable? Do whatever you want? Even if I, Liu Buyong, is happy for a moment, jumping to the table to play striptease, it is a happy thing."
"Puchi." Tao Ziying, who didn't even make me laugh, couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
"You little brat, you have made me so angry. If you talk nonsense, I will drive you out." Liu Zhenming almost wanted to get furious, but when he was standing by me, he didn't dare to yell loudly, and looked at me in shock and fear.
Liu Buyong looked like an old god, as if he had been accustomed to his uncle's scolding.
I reached out and let him sit down, and said slowly with a smile: "It's okay, it's not that man's true surname is love. As the saying goes, food, sex, and surnames, it's a hesitant person, and I'm despised."
"At this point, I want to talk about you old guys, too." I smiled and said, "Don't be hypocritical all day long. You don't allow these young juniors to do this and that all day long. Young people have their own world. Give them a pair of wings and let them fly freely and fly to their ideal holy land."
As soon as I said this, the people on the table stared at me with their eyes. The young people had a hint of respect and soulmate in their eyes. Especially Tao Ziying, there was a little more unawareness in my eyes.
Liu Zhenming and Tao Qian pondered and thought about my words.
"Your Majesty, although the poem I just read is not gorgeous, it contains the essence of life. The four great blessings are reasonable. Ziying really admires it." Tao Ziying stood up slowly, held the wine glass in both hands, and said cheerfully: "Ziying wants to pay this to honor the emperor with a cup and wish the emperor a long life."
"I said Lao Tao, I didn't expect that your son's flattery skills would be better than you?" I smiled and said, "A slander poem I plagiarized casually can also make the son praise it so much."
Because of Tao Qian's shamelessness, the old fox couldn't help but blush and coughed twice, "Emperor, even the old ministers know that the emperor's poem was plagiarized. However, that poem is indeed good."
I was drinking tea at this time, and almost spit out a sip of tea. I was so widely circulated that even a three-year-old child could talk about the poem that the Minister of Rites had never heard of. He was puzzled in his heart, so he asked several others: "Have you heard that poem?"
The crowd waited, and couldn't help but shake their heads at the same time.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being a little talented and knowledgeable person, but I have not heard of this poem." Liu Zhenming racked his brains, but could not think of hearing this poem before.
Then I realized that if the person who wrote that poem had not been born yet, it would have been because of this time and space. It was different from my world.
"Emperor, I originally wanted to use this poem to pass the bet between the emperor and Wei minister last time." Tao Ziying smiled and said, "However, from what the emperor means, this poem was not created by the emperor. Therefore, the emperor created another poem to fulfill this bet."
I was shocked. I would have known that I would have plagiarized just now. Now I have asked me to write another poem. Oh my God, isn't this just a slight difficulty for me?
Tao Qian wanted to scold his daughter, but maybe he remembered the strange argument of my dream wings just now, so he gave up this plan and looked at me with a smile. The old fox, stroking some beards, making me angry, burning your beard, and seeing how you can do it.
If you want to play, just play the bigger one. If you can pass, I will be the number one poet who will continue the past and open up the past. Then I shook my head and said, "This is the bright moonlight in front of the bed, and I suspect it is frost on the ground. I look up at the bright moon and think of my hometown."
The people on the table looked at me in amazement, with an incredible expression on their faces.
Anyway, I'm just having fun. If there is really no Li Bai in this world, then I can plagiarize with confidence. If there is, I plagiarize such a quiet night thought that I can recite as long as I know literacy. They all think that I'm joking and it's impossible to really think of plagiarism.
"Your Majesty, you really make me ashamed." Liu Zhenming, the fat man, said with admiration: "Your Majesty can write such a profound poem after thinking about it casually. Even when Weichen used to be known as a romantic talent, he did not have the same talent as the emperor."
