Zhuo Qihua

When the protagonist arrives, the palace banquet officially begins.It's just that Zhuo Ji's appearance was so shocking that many people didn't want to eat or drink.Even some old people in the palace couldn't help being jealous of Zhuo Ji's favor.Appearing with His Majesty on such an occasion is no ordinary favor.The kabuki brought by the mission came first to perform, followed by Jin Shu and the concubine, and then Baixifang.This night can be said to be a large-scale song and dance party.

King Wu Shao and King Xianyi opened the scene first, wishing His Majesty a happy birthday.All the officials of Matata stood up and congratulated His Majesty.After the toast, Yelu Washeng proposed the Kabuki of the Northern Man to present songs and dances for His Majesty the Emperor.

As the music started, singing and dancing prostitutes in Beiman costumes entered the arena.De Guixie leaned over and asked, "Why did you get your ears pierced properly? Aren't you the most afraid of pain?" It's no secret that someone is afraid of pain.

When Mingyu heard it, he also leaned over: "It's very beautiful."

Zhuo Ji: "This is His Majesty's punishment for me."

Mingyu was stunned for a moment, and then he chuckled, Degui Xie smiled and said, "It's good, if you wear earrings, you can always remember that you are Brother Xie." Every time I think of that oolong, Degui Xie couldn't help laughing, and felt a little sympathetic to His Majesty.

Zhuo Ji's clothes are comparable to Huang Guixie, and the contrast is even stronger when he sits between Deguixie and Mingxie.Deguixie is obviously not as noble as him, and Xiguifei is the same, at least Deguixie and Xiguifei don't have a single pearl on them.However, the tripartite missions and officials from other places did not understand why the nobles and the gentlemen were still so amicable, talking and laughing?Doesn't the princess feel resentful?Aren't Degui Xie and Xi Guifei jealous? !

Here, Zhuo Ji is "fooling".

"When the diamonds can be cut, the business can open a diamond jewelry store. I will order a few diamond earrings myself, which should be more suitable for me."

Mingyu: "The diamond, is it beautiful?"

Zhuo Ji: "That is the most noble gemstone in the world."

Mingyu was immediately moved: "Then I will also have two pierced ears, I am not afraid of pain."

De Guixie could hear Zhuo Ji's careful thinking, but he also said: "Then I'll tie two too, and we'll wear them together."

Ming Xun was very happy, Zhuo Ji was even happier, so many people accompanied him in pain, and he felt great comfort in his heart.

At the end of the first dance, Zhuo Ji applauded lightly, Mingyu sat upright, applauded, and then looked to his side: "Zhaoyi?"

Tong Yifeng regained consciousness obviously and applauded.

It was only then that Mingxi realized that there seemed to be something wrong with Zhaoyan, and he asked in a low voice, "But what's wrong? See, you're not energetic."

Tong Yifeng: "Thank you for your concern. There's nothing wrong with being a servant. It's just the first time I attend such a palace banquet, so I'm inevitably a little nervous."

Mingyu nodded knowingly, and said: "Today's palace banquet is indeed full of people. When I attended the palace banquet for the first time, I was just like you. I was afraid that if I did something wrong, I would embarrass Your Majesty."

Tong Yifeng picked up the wine glass and respected Mingyu, and Mingyu picked it up and gave a slight salute, then took a sip with a smile.

In the last position, Xu Mohan, the champion of the new division, lowered his head, restraining his gaze from drifting to the side of His Majesty's attendant.The second place next to him was talking to him, and Xu Mohan braced himself to deal with it.Tong Yifeng glanced casually at the direction of the third Jinshi of the new department by putting down the wine glass, then turned his head and talked to Qi Yiguo, who was a little worried about him, in a low voice.

Here, Zhuo Ji is also trying to control his eyes, don't look too much at these exotic kabuki, especially the beauties.Emperor Yong'an talked with the Queen Mother and Huang Guixie from time to time on the side of the head.While paying attention to Zhuo Ji's reaction.Seeing that he hasn't stared at any dancer so far, he is quite satisfied.

The palace banquet in the evening is mainly for celebration.The singing and dancing are one after another.After the kabuki of the northern barbarians, Nanyue is next, and after the dance of Nanyue, it is Nanzhao.Nanzhao's dance is over, and Jin Shu from Nanyue comes on stage. 20 Jinshu, 10 women, and 10 brothers.They want to dance a famous courtship dance in southern Guangdong together. The appearance of the 20 Jinshu is the most outstanding in Nanyue Jinshu. Except for those who are really noble and have not been sent here, Baibu Village and Tucha Village can be said to have lost their money this time.

As soon as the 20 people entered the stage, Zhuo Ji's eyes lit up uncontrollably, and Deguixie and Mingxie hurriedly pushed him under the table.Zhuo Ji immediately withdrew his gaze and lowered his head to eat.Above, Emperor Yong'an's face was almost dark.On the opposite side, Lam Yi clearly saw the change in the eyes of Chu Chu at that moment.He also clearly saw Gui Xie and Ming Xi's arms moving close to her at the same time, and then she picked up the chopsticks and lowered her head to eat the food.Yi Lam lowered his head, picked up his wine glass, and suddenly smiled.As for Lin Xieshan, he looked away and took a sip of his wine with a smile.

From the beginning to the end, Zhuo Ji didn't know what kind of dance Jin Shu from Nanyue danced.When the noble concubines of Nanzhao came on stage, Zhuo Ji just glanced carefully, and then saw that the noble concubines were all outstanding, so he didn't dare to look at them.Zhuo Ji raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, and Deguixie and Mingxie immediately asked: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Zhuo Ji: "It's too difficult for me."

Two people: "..."

Ming Xi covered her mouth and smiled, then put down her hands and said, "I'll accompany you. The grapes in this glass greenhouse are really sweet. I'll peel the grapes for you to eat."

"Thank you, brother Mingyu."

The servants in the palace immediately brought the copper basin, and after Ming Xi washed his hands, he peeled the grapes for Zhuo Ji.While peeling the grapes, Ming Xun gossiped to Zhuo Ji: "Shun Xun, look over there, the number one scholar, No. [-] and Tan Hua are sitting there this year. That No. [-] is really ugly."

Zhuo Ji: "It's a bit ugly, but since His Majesty has selected him as the second place, I'm afraid he has real talents and practical learning."

Ming Xun put a grape that had been peeled into a small dish in front of Zhuo Ji, wiped his hands, picked off a grape and continued peeling, saying: "Zhuangyuan Lang and Tan Hua Lang are both handsome." Having said this, Ming Xun turned his head : "Zhaoyi, that Zhuangyuan Lang seems to be from the same town as you?"

Zhuo Ji looked over curiously, and Tong Yifeng replied indifferently: "The servant is from the same town as that person, and before entering the palace, the servant and he are in the same academy."俍俍's mouth is big and open to speak out.

Mingyu was extremely surprised: "Such a coincidence?"

Zhuo Ji was also quite surprised, he subconsciously looked at Zhuangyuan Lang, but saw that the other party lowered his head, completely different from the excited No. [-] and Tanhua around him, as if he was holding back something.Zhuo Ji looked at Tong Yifeng who looked the same as usual, and quickly scanned the dishes on his table with his eyes, barely moving.Look at Qi Yiguo... Why is Qi Yiguo so worried?

Qi Yiguo saw that he was looking at him, and immediately lowered his head nervously. In fact, he didn't know why he was nervous. He just felt that something was wrong with Tong Yifeng, especially just now, but when he looked at him, He was inexplicably a little guilty.

Zhuo Ji smiled slightly: "Speaking of which, Zhaoyi is the top student in our Danyang Palace."

"What is a Xueba?"

Mingyu's attention turned to Zhuo Ji, and Tong Yifeng and Qi Yiguo also looked over.Zhuo Ji said: "The students in Jiangnan have always been stronger than the students in Jiangbei. Zhaoyi entered the palace as a gifted student. He is the one with the highest knowledge and education in our Danyang Palace. This is Xueba. This is like the number one scholar. He is the tyrant among Jinshi, and Zhaoyi is the tyrant among scholars."

Tong Yifeng's eyes were full of gratitude, and he immediately said: "Cu Chu is too self-effacing. But Cu Chu was selected as a scholar at the age of 13, and he is the real school master."

Ming Xun nodded in agreement, and said to Zhuo Ji: "Indeed. You were selected as a scholar at the age of 13. If your handwriting didn't drag you down, with your knowledge, you should be born."

Tong Yifeng: "Exactly."

Huang Guixie and the others all knew that Zhuo Ji's calligraphy was not good.It was clear that Qi Yiguo and Tong Yifeng took over the Bailao Theater.The four chatted enthusiastically, and Degui Xie said, "Don't be so busy chatting and forgetting to eat."

Zhuo Ji picked up the chopsticks, Mingyu put another peeled grape into a small dish, wiped his hands with a wet handkerchief, and picked up the chopsticks as well.De Guixie: "Let's have a drink together, Jinnan, and you too." The five of them happened to sit in a row.

Jin Ling picked up the wine glass with trepidation.Zhuo Ji picked up the wine glass: "Today is His Majesty's birthday, we wish ourselves forever young."

Both Deguixie and Mingjue laughed: "Okay, forever young."

The five toasted each other and drank.

Emperor Yong'an was in a good mood after watching it, Zhuo Ji had been talking just now and didn't watch those kabuki.Zhuo Ji drank the wine and was stunned, Degui Xie: "What?"

Zhuo Ji: "It's really wine."

De Guixie was also stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Your Majesty has lifted the ban for you?"

Zhuo Ji glanced at the person above him, and said with satisfaction: "It seems that Your Majesty is in a good mood today." After finishing speaking, he poured himself a glass of wine, when another dance on the field happened to stop, Zhuo Ji stood up.

As soon as he got up, the officials of Matata State who were talking in the venue were the first to quiet down.The Beijing officials fell silent, and officials from other places hurriedly silenced when they saw this.The members of the mission who were drinking and chatting also shut up one after another, and the audience quickly fell silent.

Zhuo Ji raised his glass: "Your Majesty, today is your birthday, and I am going to offer you a glass of wine. The servant actually doesn't like your Majesty celebrating your birthday. Every time you celebrate your birthday, you will be one year older, and the servant will also be one year older. I hope that Your Majesty's birthday will come more slowly, and more slowly."

"Hahaha..." The Empress Dowager was the first to laugh, "Shun, you are getting old, what should you do with your old body?"

The Empress Dowager laughed, and many Beijing officials in the venue also laughed, including Huang Guixie and others.

Lin Xieshan got up at this time, Yelu Wa was startled when he got up, Yelu Buyan and Yelu Tangkuo put down their hands and clenched them into fists.Lin Xieshan also raised his wine glass and said, "Your Majesty, what you said is also what I wish. Your Majesty will live a long life, so that I can live forever."

King Wu Shao raised his glass and stood up: "That's right. I wish your Majesty a happy life, and I also hope that you and your ladies will stay young forever. In this way, I can have today every year, eat such delicious wine and delicacies, and see such wonderful song and dance."

King Xianyi got up and said, "My minister seconded the proposal."

Shi Yu got up: "The minister seconded the proposal."

Chen Changgeng got up: "The minister also seconded the proposal."

Nian Qing: "The minister also seconded the proposal."

The important ministers of the Mata country stood up and seconded, and the officials of the Mata country followed these important ministers to stand up and seconded, even though many people thought that the actions of the Duke and the prince were flattering.And Shi Shangshu is the sycophant among the sycophants.

The members of the mission were very entangled, they didn't want Emperor Yong'an to live happily ever after.Emperor Yong'an also obviously didn't want to hear what they said against his will.After the three new jinshi who had the lowest status in the room also got up and followed the others, Emperor Yong'an pointed to his courtiers with a smile and said: "You all want to live forever, and hang around in front of me all day long. I still think you are annoying." Woolen cloth!"

The ministers laughed loudly.

Emperor Yong'an played with the golden mouse with one hand, and scolded: "Shun said some childish things, and you all followed him. What do you mean I am one year older. He can say this. You are still pampering him. He is getting worse now. You are getting more willful and savage because of you one by one."

The empress dowager defended her shortcomings: "The emperor's words are inappropriate. Shunxi doesn't leave the gate all day, and you are punished by the emperor from time to time to think about his mistakes. Why did he get the opportunity to be self-willed and savage."

Huang Guixie: "What the Empress Dowager said is that Shunxi really has no chance to be willful and savage. Your Majesty punished him not long ago for thinking about his mistakes. If it wasn't for your Majesty's birthday today, he would not be able to come out."

Emperor Yong'an: "Look, you are protecting him before I say a word to him."

Seeing this scene, the foreign officials and members of the mission, including the three Jinshi were dumbfounded.This Shunxi (俍俍) is too favored!So favored that the prince and important ministers can directly defend it? !Isn't it true that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics? !But since it is maintained in this way, why do you think about it "from time to time"?

Zhuo Ji: "Your Majesty, the servant's hands are sore." He was still holding the wine glass.

Emperor Yong'an looked helpless with his love, and picked up the wine glass: "Okay, my birthday will come later, you will always be two years old."

Zhuo Ji smiled, raised his head and drank the wine first.

The courtiers standing in the Yong'an Dynasty raised their glasses, and the courtiers toasted collectively, and Emperor Yong'an also toasted.This is the wine that I love to serve and respect, so naturally I have to drink it in one gulp.

Zhuo Ji put down his wine glass, but did not sit down, but continued to say: "Your Majesty, for your birthday, the waiter has prepared a gift for you."

Emperor Yong'an was pleasantly surprised: "Oh? What gift is it?" Isn't it given?

The Queen Mother and Huang Guixie exchanged a look.After all, Shun Xing's birthday gift was not given in person, so it was inevitable that it would be true, and it would be good to prepare another birthday gift in the open.

Zhuo Ji kept his mouth shut as usual, saying: "Your Majesty, it took a lot of effort to serve him for this birthday gift. Your Majesty must reward it first."

Emperor Yong'an pointed at Zhuo Ji, but he said to Sui Guogong, Wu Shaowang and others: "Look, look, look, before the gift is given, the reward will be given first."

The ministers laughed again.

The best fan, Shi Yu, stood up: "The gift that you prepared must be very good and fresh. Just now, I was wondering what kind of birthday gift you will prepare for His Majesty today."

Zhuo Ji: "Shi Shangshu, I remember that you are the favorite food."

The flattered look on Shi Yu's face was definitely not fake, he hurriedly said: "I never thought that I would still remember."

Zhuo Ji: "Today's gift in this palace is related to eating." He looked at Emperor Yong'an and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you let Shi Shangshu compose a poem to cheer up your majesty's birthday banquet today? , Your Majesty, how about rewarding him with a piece in a while?"

Shi Yu almost shouted: "Your Majesty! I am willing!"

Emperor Yong'an was dissatisfied, he didn't even know what it was!But in front of so many people, he couldn't let his courtiers down, pretending to be angry and said: "If he does a good job, I will reward him, but your reward will be gone."

Zhuo Ji was in a dilemma.

Shi Yu pleaded: "Cuchu..."

King Wu Shao stood up: "Cui, you are partial. Yuan Hao thinks that his poems are no worse than Shi Shangshu."

King Qin stood up: "Father, my son also wants to give it a try."

Shao Pingqiu: "I would also like to give it a try."

Chen Changgeng stood up and said, "I came from the second place in the list." The implication is that the talent of the minister is much stronger than that of Shi Shangshu.

Emperor Yong'an was really angry this time: "I don't even know what you all are! You all come to grab me!"

"Hahaha..." The Queen Mother laughed.

Huangguixie, Deguixie, Xiguifei, etc. had a good relationship with Zhuo Ji, and knew why the ministers would support Zhuoji so much. The concubines also laughed, watching the show one by one, and not intervening.

Zhuo Ji: "Your Majesty, this gift from the servants is big enough, but it cannot be rewarded to everyone present. If not... Your Majesty will reward the top ten best poems. If you can't get it..." Zhuo Ji smiled and spread his hands, "Just wait for the next year."

"Hey! Don't..." The audience wailed.

Lin Yi and Qin Zhongyi, who were clearly invincible, were depressed.Even Lin Xieshan was depressed.Lin Yi's mind turned quickly, and after whispering a few words to Qin Zhongyi, the two got up and walked out. After saluting, Lin Yi said: "Your Majesty, the program of the Firearms Camp is ready, and we just wait for your majesty's order."

Qin Zhongyi: "Your Majesty, the program of the kite team has also been prepared, please give your Majesty the order."

Emperor Yong'an's biggest interest tonight is these two programs, but now there is one more, which is the surprise prepared for him by Ai Shi.Emperor Yong'an immediately said: "Then pass the order down."

Two people: "Yes!"

Lin Yi and Qin Zhongyi left the Zhongcheng Hall, and Emperor Yong'an stood up: "All ministers and missionaries, please follow me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty—"

After that, they watched the emperor get up, first supported the queen mother, and then the three of them walked down together after the empress dowager got up.However, Emperor Yong'an made another move that shocked the jaws of those "unknown insider" present.After walking down, he let go of the Queen Mother, and walked up to Shunxi (俍俍), after Shunxi (俍俍) came out, Emperor Yong'an stretched out his hand, and held the hand that was offered by the other party with great affection, and when the other party moved close After the eunuch put on his cloak, he supported the queen mother with one hand again and walked out of the palace.

Emperor Yong'an was the emperor, so he naturally walked at the forefront, followed by King Qin and King Qi, and King Wu Shao, King Xianyi and others followed closely according to their status.Everyone in the arena followed, but the members of the Beiman Mission and Yelu Buyan and Yelu Tangkuo who had just entered the palace couldn't help but laugh.
