16: Banquets and rants
Get off the carriage,
Looking up at the palace wall, it was dusk, and the sky gradually showed signs of falling into darkness, but it seemed noisy here.
There were also a row of city gates like Nuwa Palace, and what Ye Tian saw was that the palace gate was completely open, and all kinds of people kept walking in.
"Brother, what are you doing when you get off the carriage?" Ye Yuan was a little depressed. He was still a long way from the city wall, but before he arrived at the palace city, his elder brother inexplicably asked to get off the car.
As he had no choice, he walked out of the carriage and shouted into it: "Two sisters, don't come down first, we will go back soon."
"It's okay, your brother just looked at it. I haven't looked at this palace wall for a long time." Ye Tian saw that although it was not as majestic as the imperial city wall in his memory, it was still dozens of meters high. In addition to basic defense, the function of this palace wall is to show the identity of the person inside. "I didn't expect that it was quite beautiful under the sunset...Okay, let's go back."
After Ye Tian finished speaking, he immediately walked back to the carriage.
That's right, the vermilion walls have a festive flavor and are not without magnificent nature. Although they do not have any exquisite patterns, they are more simple and solemn.
And he also remembered that the king's surname was Wei and his name was Xian. It was said that his age was not much different from his father, or he was an emperor and minister of the same era.
at the same time,
Ye Tian may not understand the qi-seeing technique, but looking at the imperial city from afar, it is like a giant beast lying dormant in the dark. When he thinks about the history of the entire empire that has been nearly 500,000 years, he always feels that something is missing!
yes!
Although no one explicitly said who is the best in the world, the strongest group of people in the world on the surface of the empire today are the imperial court masters, including the emperor and his father. But isn’t it very wrong for the world of fairy tales?
A history of 500,000 years! Think about it carefully!
This is the emperor, the human emperor practicing Taoism. Although each of the former emperors has detailed records of leaving the throne and death after one or two thousand years of reign, the father in the Ye Tian family also said the same thing. He can be said to be the presence of the Ye family and is the general of the current dynasty!
However, since it is a world of immortal cultivation, Ye Tian may not dare to say that this is true, but there are always one or two restrictions that break through lifespan, right?
Even if you may still be breathing... It seems that after twenty years of memory, I have never truly understood the reality of the world?
......
Back in the carriage,
With the sound of "knock, tick~" hooves, Ye Tian quickly heard the excitement outside the carriage. It was the soldiers' arrangements for maintaining order, and there was also the excitement of crowds before the banquet.
After about three or five minutes, the carriage was driven.
It was finally time to get off the bus, and I heard the earlier shouting, "Young master, Miss, you can get off now."
Then,
Ye Tian got out of the car again, this time he walked off first. At the same time, he saw a luxurious horse carriage every seven or eight meters around. These carriages were parked in the square inside the imperial city. If the carriages were not allowed to enter the palace on weekdays, it was obvious that today was an exception.
"There are quite a few people." Ye Tian couldn't help but sigh. There were too many. It was estimated that hundreds of people from the Ye family came over. Although there were reasons for the noble status of the Ye family, including the ministers and ministers in the court, there were thousands of people tonight.
Before Ye Tian's words can be finished,
Soon someone came over. Two or three young masters and two beautiful women. One of the men asked, "Brother Ye Tian, long time no see! You are here too, Brother Yuan!"
"Well." Maybe it's because of his own side, Ye Tian is the oldest, and the scene is vaguely led by him. Ye Tian politely said: "Oh, it turns out that it's brother Huang Shou, I haven't seen him for many days. How are you doing recently? I wonder who are these people around you?"
This is one of the sons of a second-rank official. Of course, he has pleased Ye Tian before. Although Ye Tian has a low status at home, it is another potential stock worth investing in for some young men in the small family. After all, he is also the son of the general, right?
"Brother Ye Tian, these two are my usual brothers, and these two are the daughters of Zhang Changshi and Li Zhubo, they..." With the introduction of this kid, Ye Tian suddenly felt that someone was poking his elbow in the back, and immediately understood the suggestion of his second brother.
Sweat ~
Even if you ask your brother to pick a girl, you won’t push me up when you see a girl, right?
It can be seen that even these two are good beauties. Their beautiful faces without makeup but are as beautiful as flowers, and their tender appearance gave Ye Tianfu a gift. In addition, their delicate voice sounded, they were really ladies from a noble family.
Ye Tian shook his head without a trace.
"It's okay, you guys don't have to be polite." They are not a relationship between superiors and subordinates. Seeing that he also held a greeting in both hands, it would be too formal to meet like this.
Of course Ye Tian understood that they were just giving his father a face, and these people didn't know that Ye Tian's mother and a cheater around him had other ideas. "It's better to go in early so as not to lose a good seat."
He did not invite them to go with him. The palace had its own rules. Not only were there many people in the three major families in the capital, but he was also qualified to sit a little further.
"Okay, Brother Ye Tian, then we will go hunting together in the suburbs another day?" Among the group, only Huang Shou knew Ye Tian. Seeing that Ye Tian was particularly easy to talk to today, of course he was pleased.
"It's feasible." Ye Tian said calmly, hunting? No problem, my brother is still idle anyway.
......
Night falls,
In the largest square outside the hall, the emperor Wei Xian set up an unprecedented banquet, with lanterns and candles, and the palace maids came and went with delicious food...
Let’s see, where Ye Tian and the others were sitting was a table-shaped position, which was a place where they could kneel on a cushion and sit together.
When he looked back and saw that there were another type of Eight Immortals tables there, and every time seven or eight people were crowded together, the key was that Ye Tian’s position on the side was all above the platform, so the height on the other side was always lower than that on this side.
"Hey, brother, who do you like?" Who else can say this? Of course, it is the second brother next to Ye Tian.
"Eat yours well, stop talking nonsense." Ye Tian looked down at the table that was only one meter wide and nearly two meters long, with various delicacies on it. The top was mainly hot food, and a small amount of fruit. He even thoughtfully prepared two jade pots of wine and two pots of juice.
"Take it, you're fine, what are you doing?" Ye Yuan said speechlessly, tearing off a piece of meat and putting it into his mouth, and muttering, "This time, my mother must ask. Think about it yourself? She is not me who is anxious, and she wants to propose marriage for you, but she doesn't know how much face she has to let go to her father and say, "At least you have to..."
"...Okay, I know this." Ye Tian was silent for a moment, then turned his head and looked at the position nearly 100 meters away from him. In fact, this was already the front position where his identity could sit, which was equivalent to the front.
After all, Ye Tian did not have an official position, and fortunately he was still the "internal affairs" of the empire today. He did not come to those masters of the cultivation sect, so that they could occupy the front position early.
But is that his father?
He looked at the first position on the left hand that was closest to the emperor's position,
The man sat on a table similar to the imperial desk. The table was three meters long, two meters wide, and more than one meter high. It was a very noble position. At the same time, the delicious food on the table was only shared by him with another beautiful woman.
Of course he knew that he was his father's wife, the daughter of Chen, the former dean of the Imperial Academy. Now his father's father-in-law is also Chen Su, one of the nine ministers in charge of imperial education.
Ye Tian moved his eyes away from Chen's body calmly.
Then he saw that his father had been talking to the emperor who had a similar aura on the main seat and the card. Of course, he would chat with another middle-aged man opposite him from time to time.
Those are the three most noble people in the empire today. One is the emperor, symbolizing imperial power, and the other is Prime Minister Zhao Zhen, representing the interests of the aristocratic families. His father lives in a high position naturally represents the interests of the soldiers and the forces of the army.
"It's really majestic." Ye Tian said softly, not in a hurry to withdraw his gaze, and looked them back and forth without a trace. Because the distance was far, he did not dare to listen specifically, but his own breakthrough allowed him to hear a few words.
"I said to Prime Minister, today is Your Majesty's birthday, and you and I cannot discuss state affairs anymore." His father smiled softly, and his smile appeared on Ye Huan's originally majestic face, but he felt that there was something in his words.
"The general is right." The prime minister looked at the peak of middle age. He was said to have a considerable level of immortal cultivation. His calm eyes were full of wisdom and rigor. However, the group that represented different demands forced him to form an alternative confrontation with Ye Tian's father. This is also the need of the emperor and everyone! "Then let's not talk about the recent turmoil of the corpse clan."
"Haha, it's okay. Although today is my birthday, all the officials and ministers should not be too reserved." Wei Xian picked up the wine glass, signaled to more than 200 court officials in front, and then put it into his mouth.
At this time,
In the center of them, some dancers began to wear beautiful dresses, holding down feather fan and walking lotus steps into the center of the red carpet. There was even a sound of music that sounded at the right time...
And at the same time,
Ye Tian listened carefully to all the conversations, trying to understand the most cutting-edge group of people in this empire, and the wine in his hands was also one after another. Of course, they did not talk about any secret matters, and even had polite chats in front of the civil and military officials of the court.
Half-drinking wine,
Ye Tian gradually became a little drunk, and what was even more speechless was that Ye Yuan really pointed to several more beautiful women and signaled to Ye Tian.
"Your vision is completely unfavorable. Those beautiful ones are beautiful, but I always feel that there is a lack of a fairy spirit!" Ye Tian's voice inevitably increased by several decibels. He did not notice that many people had already quietly looked at it, especially because he was bragging about other girls not looking good? This offends the girls!
Ye Yuan, who had been working hard for him for a long time, was certainly unhappy and retorted: "The aura of immortality? Who do you think you like? Who else has the aura of immortality?"
"Ye Tian squinted his eyes and glanced at the front row. He saw a certain position on his right hand. A little distance from him, he still saw one of two women sitting together!
She is one of the most outstanding people tonight. Even though Ye Tian herself is not the most handsome boy tonight, she found that a few unpretentious girls attracted a large group of attentive people around her.
She was wearing a moon-white palace outfit, which seemed monotonous, but her face was extremely beautiful and indescribable. She had to admit that she was a few points better than her mother. The more important thing was that she looked younger and she would definitely have more room to grow up!
"I think if you have to ask your brother to choose which one, then I will choose not to marry her!" Ye Tian said loudly, and pointed his finger at her without hesitation!
quiet--
That was the sudden solidification of the atmosphere of the whole scene. People who practiced were very clear-headed and had nothing to discuss in a low voice, but Ye Tian had never named him like this!
What's more, who do you like when you play at first sight? What is your identity?!
"Brother, you're drunk..." I'm sorry, Ye Yuan felt so scary. I guess they're in trouble again? I shouldn't have teased this big brother!
Many eyes moved directly to cause a group effect. Unexpectedly, all the ministers in the main position looked here, especially Ye Tian and his father.
It's finished!
Ye Yuan started to sweat coldly and hurriedly pulled his brother's sleeve, wanting him to change his mouth quickly!
......
Chapter completed!
