Be a man today too!

Before leaving, Chi Yuan ordered the servants first, and asked about some points that should be paid attention to in this banquet. After all, these details will not be discussed in the book.

The servant was not ambiguous, and spoke very clearly.

This birthday banquet has been in preparation for a full month, and the venue is Zichen Palace in the inner palace of the imperial city, which is also one of the emperor's sleeping palaces on weekdays.

The colorful silk sheds built from the gate of the outer city of the palace to the Zichen Palace in the inner city are about eight miles long, and those who are invited to the banquet need to enter the palace from this road and park their sedan chairs inside. The outer wall of the palace, and then walk to the Zichen Palace, but the last section of the road is at least two miles long, which is about 1000 meters.

A total of hundreds of first-rank princes and nobles were invited, and with the addition of second-rank and third-rank court officials, there were thousands of people in total.Naturally, it is impossible for everyone to sit in the palace, so only first-rank princes and nobles and royal family members can sit in Zichen Palace, enjoying the same joy with His Majesty and the prince.

As for the banquets of the second-rank and third-rank court officials, they are displayed under the hall outside the hall, and they can also listen to the saints.There are also singing and dancing performances in the palace, etc., and it is not possible to leave from the banquet at the time of You until the time of Hai in the evening.

Hearing this, Chi Yuan frowned slightly, and he asked again where his location was. After getting a definite answer, Chi Yuan asked Fu Lan to send the servant away.

Chi Yuan still remembered that in the original book, the original owner met the third prince at the gate of Zichen Palace. After all, all the princes arrived at Zichen Palace early except for the prince.

Then when he entered Zichen Palace at this time, he would meet the third prince just like in the book. Thinking of this, Chi Yuan made up his mind that he had better go earlier, so that he could have a few words with the other party first.Although Chi Yuan wasn't sure how the third prince would react when he saw him, it was inevitable to be surprised, and he could also be given a little more buffer time.

Because it is the emperor's birthday banquet, today's dress can't be casual, and everyone invited to the banquet needs to wear the clothes of the specified grade. Managed.Although the crown prince will enter the palace at night, there is nothing wrong with getting ready early.

After Fulan sent off the servants, when she came back, she saw His Royal Highness looking into the distance and seemed to be in deep thought.

Seeing Fulan in his eyes, he couldn't help being startled, His Royal Highness is naturally very good-looking, his eyebrows are cut like a knife, and his temples are like ink paintings. At this moment, when he looks into the distance, there is also a romantic demeanor in his expression. .It's just that Fulan thought about this, and then sighed in her heart, although the son is good in every way, but he didn't know how he was made things difficult when he entered the palace.

Fulan felt a little bitter in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. With a faint smile on her lips, she blessed Fushen and said softly: "Your Majesty, please let Fulan take care of it for you now."

After a while, Chi Yuan looked at himself in the bronze mirror, which was a little different than usual.Since this prince's suit is made by the imperial court, the waist and sleeves look a little special.

First of all, the sleeves are a bit too wide compared to the usual clothes, but the waist is pulled up a bit, making her look slender and a bit dignified.

The whole dress is made of scarlet silk gauze, embroidered with golden pythons. In addition to the chest and back, there is another set at the top of the rotator sleeves and below the waist.In fact, there is not much difference between pythons and dragons. Chi Yuan also wore clothes made of embroidered patterns of pythons before, but these pythons are similar to snakes, without claws.

But the Shizi suit is different. The python on it not only has claws but also four claws. The only difference from the dragon is that it has no horns.Although he knew that this was the original regulation of the imperial court, Chi Yuan frowned slightly when he saw the giant python that was almost the same size as a dragon. It was not unreasonable for the emperor to be afraid of King Xiangbei, after all, the title of a king is somewhat different.

Fulan carefully pulled up the prince's smooth and long straight black hair with a jade belt, and then fixed it with a golden hair crown. When combing the excess hair exposed from the sideburns with a comb, suddenly, for some reason, her nose As soon as it was sour, the eye sockets became a little moist without knowing it.

Chi Yuan naturally also saw Fulan in the mirror.

Son, it's not that he hasn't seen girls cry for him, but it's another matter to be around him.

Chi Yuan was at a loss for a while, but he didn't know what to do, but fortunately, Fu Lan quickly wiped away her tears, and when she raised her head again, she was in the same state as before.

This also made Chi Yuan breathe a sigh of relief, he had never comforted others, although he was moved by Fulan's concern for himself, but he was powerless to make him say something.The only thing he could guarantee was that he would come back safely, at least not like the original owner who was frightened and afraid of getting seriously ill after returning.

Because he was going to enter the palace, Chi Yuan didn't sit in the big sedan chair before. After all, it was too ostentatious, but it was still necessary to maintain his dignity.

When stepping on the sedan chair, Chi Yuan also took a hand stove, because he estimated that he would stay in the palace for at least three or four hours, and although the prince's suit is a winter style, it is not as thick as a cloak , so Chi Yuan was still a little worried.

After sitting firmly in the sedan chair, Chi Yuan settled down instead. In short, the plot that will happen later in the book has been described in detail, and it must be the same.The sedan chair walked all the way through the streets of the capital, and first arrived at the outer gate.

At this moment, the sedan chair also stopped. Chi Yuan opened the curtain to take a look, and found that he thought it was earlier, but it was not too early, and saw that many sedan chairs had already stopped in front of him.

Because it is entering the palace, the inspection must be stricter, and it will be some time before the sedan chair starts to move again.Chi Yuan didn't pull down the car curtain, but began to appreciate the scenery of the inner garden of the palace.

After all, a grand scene like today must be rare in the future.

There are countless servants in the palace who come and go today, and all of them have dressed up, and their faces are full of joy.On both sides of the aisle, there are various bonsai. Although it is late autumn, these bonsai are not dilapidated, but green.

The colorful shed built above the head is also made of grass silk, which is extremely gorgeous, and there are various colored wind lanterns made of colored glaze tied on the top. When the breeze blows, it makes a lingling sound, which is very melodious.And when these lights are projected on the ground, they will also dye the ground in various colors, which is even more eye-catching. Presumably at night, there will be another different view.

Seeing this, Chi Yuan couldn't help but smile slightly, and his mood brightened a lot. In fact, if some annoying factors were ignored in this birthday banquet, it would be very lively and interesting.

When he got outside the gate of the inner palace, the sedan chair stopped again. Next, he had to walk two miles to Zichen Palace.

When Chi Yuan got out of the sedan chair, he saw two childish court ladies who were leading the way for him. They looked about the same age as Fulan, which made him relax a bit.

I saw that the inner palace and the outer palace were completely different scenes. It was like a large back garden, surrounded by courtyards and corridors, with stone railings on both sides and similar wind lanterns tied to it.

Only then did Chi Yuan understand that the outer palace was a place to discuss matters with the courtiers, while the inner palace was the emperor's sleeping quarters, so it was naturally much more elegant.

When Chi Yuan walked on the ground, he had a different feeling. I saw that some incense chips were spread on the ground at some point, and there was a gold burning stove at the corner burning incense, and hanging on the surrounding trees. With various colored ribbons, the atmosphere of the grand ceremony became more grand.

At this time, there were some people wearing court uniforms, and when they saw Chi Yuan, they would inevitably stop and take a look.After all, he is the prince of Xiangbei, with a great reputation, and many people also know why this prince came to this capital, and they have some complicated thoughts in their hearts.

Under this kind of gaze, Chi Yuan didn't speed up his pace, nor did he slow down, but he was no longer as nervous as he was at the beginning, so he walked forward at a leisurely pace.

This short two-mile journey was a little shorter than he expected. When Chi Yuan saw a few people standing vaguely in front of the magnificent Zichen Palace from a distance, he still couldn't help but walk slightly. a meal.

But after a while, he started to walk forward again.

At this time, not only a few princes were standing near Zichen Palace, but also countless palace officials who lowered their heads and held their breath.

people.In fact, although the princes are here to wait for the guests under the order of their father, they are not as respectful as ordinary people, and they need to be very considerate in etiquette. On the contrary, standing here is enough for these guests Everyone was overjoyed, and there were more active salutes, so they were free to move around.

Now the second prince and the third prince are only sixteen or seventeen years old, but they already have the aura and demeanor. The two stood at the gate of the palace and looked at it for a while. The guests go.

The fourth and fifth princes on the side are twins, but they are a little over six years old, and they are naturally active. Naturally, they don't have to worry about these troublesome things, but sitting in an empty hall is also very boring, so the two of them went from Those who came out of the palace stood behind the door to watch, chatting quietly, and every minister who passed by them had to be choreographed by the two of them.

But the two of them didn't dare to get closer to talk. It would be no fun if the elder brother heard it. If the second elder brother heard it, it would be fine. He would only warn them gently and would never say anything more, but the third elder brother saw , will show a smile, and then make fun of them, so both of them are more afraid of the third brother.

At this moment, the two seemed to have noticed something, and they took a few steps outside the hall, leaning on the stone pillar and looking around.While watching, they whispered: "Fifth brother, look quickly, there is a brother who has never seen before." "You are the fifth brother. I have seen it a long time ago. You are still a very beautiful brother."

At this time, Chi Yuan was a little nervous, because he was almost at the gate of the palace, but he found that the figures just now had disappeared, and the third prince was not here, but he saw two cute little boys of Yuxue behind the gate. She rolled her big eyes and looked at him.

And these two children were wearing bright yellow clothes. Chi Yuan knew their identities at a glance. They should be the fourth and fifth princes.
