Yu Dao Qiankun

Chapter 239 Auspicious Egg Ceremony
Kunyu is about to get married, and she is entertaining guests from all walks of life in the imperial palace these few days.

According to the rules of Tiangong, his wedding ceremony needs to go through a cutscene in the Palace of the Three Princes.

Afterwards, the Palace of the Three Princes was completely sealed up.Until the next generation of the emperor ascended the throne, the emperor's womb was cleaned up and prepared for the next generation of the emperor's heirs.

So, this is Kun Yu's last two days in the palace.Although he has been living in the mansion outside the palace these years, he seldom comes back to the Palace of the Three Princes.But if you want to leave completely, you will inevitably feel a little bit sad.

"If you want to live in again, I'm afraid you can only wait for me to become the emperor?"

Suddenly, he heard the report from the palace man and stood up quickly.

"Everyone, the sixth younger brother is here. Come whenever you go in this hall."

King Zhao?

Everyone at the banquet got up one after another, ready to welcome him together.

But the four of Peng Yu walked quickly, and they arrived at the Hall of the Three Princes before everyone came out.

Seeing Zhuan Yun and Luo Kai inside, Peng Yu wished he could leave immediately.

He held back his disgust and looked around for a week.

The eldest prince Kunyan, the second prince Kun, the eighth prince Kunchen, the great sun king Kunlin, and all the nobles of the family were there.

Resisting the desire to turn around and leave, Peng Yu said with a smile: "Third Brother, Gu's sudden arrival, won't it affect you?"

"It's rare that the sixth younger brother is willing to come to join us, and the elder brother is too late to welcome you."

He invited Peng Yu to the banquet, and the maid hurriedly prepared the plate, wine bar, melons, fruits and aromatherapy.

The Three Princes Hall is far inferior to Zhaoyuan Hall and Qianyuan Hall in terms of magnificence.Under the resplendent and resplendent surface, it is difficult to hide the oldness and antiquatedness of the palace.

"After all, it is a thousand-year-old palace, and the number of renovations is less, compared to the newly built Zhaoyuan Palace and the frequently renovated Qianyuan Palace."

Peng Yu was facing Luo Kai.

Luo Kai nodded slightly to him.

Peng Yu cast his eyes away in disgust, and turned to Kunyu, "Third brother is about to get married, and my younger brother didn't know what to give, so he prepared some random gifts. I hope third brother and future sister-in-law like it."

He waved his hand to let Sunnvguan and others carry the wooden box.

After opening it, everyone saw the neatly arranged utensils inside.

Sun Xiushu was not in a hurry, and reported the gift list in a steady and serious voice: "His Royal Highness Zhaowang Hesan and his wife will grow old together, and their love will last forever. A pair of dragon and phoenix Ruyi, a comb with golden phoenix and white teeth, and a dragon and a ruler."

"I wish the newlyweds have a heart-to-heart connection and fly together. A pair of five-color stone fans with sparrow feathers, and a pair of mirrors inlaid with silver silk and jade."

"I wish the new couple a harmonious and beautiful year round, a pot of plum blossom bonsai with golden branches and stones with silver edges, a pot of white magnolia bonsai, a pot of emerald bonsai, and a pot of marigold yellowstone chrysanthemum bonsai."

"I wish the new couple will be united forever and love each other forever. Give a pair of concentric colorful knots, and four nanmu boxes for dragon and phoenix prosperity."

……

Sun Xiushu kept reading the gift list, while the palace servants nearby took things out of the box.

It was a small box, but the gifts brought out of it almost filled the entire hall.

Kun Yu was shocked.

Where did this kid get it?His Zhaowang Palace is still closed, didn't you hear that he went there to get things?There are also these things that make the dragon and the phoenix auspicious, he doesn't have any in the storeroom at all?

Zhuan Yun frequently looked at Peng Yu with a strange expression: that set of Four Seasons jade bonsai looked familiar.It seems to be a wedding gift from our family to His Majesty the Emperor?Not to mention that this kid lives in the Qianyuan Hall, this time he moved things from the Emperor's private treasury in a grand manner?

"King Zhao wishes the descendants of His Highness the Third Highness and his wife to prosper and enjoy wealth and honor forever. He will give the descendants a golden bucket and a phoenix golden phoenix tree."

In addition, there are eight pieces of brocade, twelve antique calligraphy and paintings, four boxes of precious stones and gold beads...

Seeing the congratulatory gift sent by Peng Yu, all members of the family secretly lamented the extravagance of King Zhao.

But the first prince and the second prince are not right.

Kunyan: "This kid—he was not so generous to me back then!"

Kun was secretly annoyed: "When I got married, their mother and son gave away a random pair of wishes." Thinking of his mother's relegation to the cold palace, he felt even more uncomfortable.

After the gift list was sung, Peng Yu waved for Kunyu's people to carry the gifts down.

"Little gift, third brother, don't dislike it."

Kun Yu shook her head again and again, and said with a wry smile: "My brother gave this gift, and when you get married later, my brother really doesn't know how to return it."

Peng Yu smiled and didn't take it seriously.

The reason why he prepared a generous gift was to show brotherly filial piety according to the emperor's order.

To put it bluntly, this is a "job".He doesn't feel sorry for the emperor spending money.

As for getting married--

How can it be!

I am not stupid to learn from the lessons learned by Mrs. Yunyang and Qinglian Sword Master.

After Kun Yu accepted the gift, Peng Yu sat down and drank with everyone.

"Continue, everyone, don't mind Gu, don't spoil everyone's interest. Gu just came over casually to have a look. By the way, what were you doing just now?"

"Brother Six, we were 'egg fighting' just now. Look, this is the Egg King." The seventh prince, Kun Sheng, shook the golden egg triumphantly.

Egg fighting, a custom passed down in ancient times.

In various festivals in Dakun, there are completely different egg fighting rules.

For example, during the Lixia season, children hang eggs on their chests and collide with each other. The one who breaks eats the egg, and the winner continues to fight the egg.In the end, the egg king will be contested, and the winner will eat it.

According to Teacher Peng Yu, this is an ancient ritual of exorcising evil spirits and praying for blessings.As the eggs collide with each other, the power of prayer is attached to the eggs.After being eaten by a child, the power of prayer can protect the child from evil spirits.Egg King gathers the most aura and thought power, which is the most beneficial to the eater.

In addition, there are methods of fighting golden eggs on the prince's birthday, auspicious eggs before the wedding, and longevity eggs at the birthday banquet.

"Hurry up and return it to the third brother. This is the golden egg gift for his prince's birthday." Kunxian said dissatisfiedly: "This thing will be available for your prince's birthday."

But Kun Yu said very generously: "It's okay, let him play. It's just a gadget anyway."

Kun Sheng made a face at Kun Xian, and then thanked Kun Yu.

Looking at the interaction of these "brothers", Peng Yu seemed to understand the purpose of the God Emperor for letting him come here.

However, the so-called friendship of these people is just a little affection in front of outsiders.In secret, I don't know how to fight and calculate.

Peng Yu drank a glass of wine, thinking silently in his heart.

He has no hope of repaying Tiangong's so-called brotherhood.

Didn't the friendship between Emperor Li and Emperor Ling who shared weal and woe in the past lead to a life-and-death confrontation in the end?

At this time, a court lady sent a wooden barrel, which contained ten red eggs of even size.

Kun Yu said: "Your sister-in-law prepared it. We were playing lucky eggs just now, do you want to come too?"

Auspicious egg rules: each person prepares ten eggs for admission.Then take out at least one egg and let others guess the number.The person who guesses correctly can take an egg from the hands of others.The person with the most red eggs at the end wins.

Peng Yu laughed: "Third sister-in-law prepares red eggs, so the third brother is in charge? What does the third brother take as a prize?"

"A set of top-level armor parts."

Kun Yu put on a show again.

A right wrist armor is placed on the wooden shelf, the material is neither gold nor jade, carved with small and delicate dragon patterns.

Peng Yu narrowed his eyes: "Dragon Emperor Armor?"

Back then, the Dragon Emperor fought against the God Emperor in battle armor.After death, the Dragon Emperor's armor disintegrated and flew to the world of the heavens.

"That's right, I found this for my brother during his trials in the affiliated world. Why, brother, is he interested?"

"It's a bit."

Peng Yu casually took a piece of red cloth to cover the barrel.

"Come on, I'll join in too."

"Then start over."

After making preparations, everyone used their own methods to cover up, changing the number of red eggs in the wooden barrel beside them.

Guess the number of eggs, between one and ten.

Started by Kunyu.He took out another silver egg and passed it to Kunyan on the left: "The three are above."

Kunyan held the silver egg and thought for a while, instead of trying to guess the riddle, he passed the silver egg to the next person, and also reminded himself of the number of red eggs: "even number."

Kun took the silver eggs and thought for a while: "Then let me guess first. The third child is five, and the eldest brother is eight."

The two princes smiled and shook their heads at the same time, Kun was not discouraged, picked out two red eggs from the spoils for them, and then gave the silver eggs to the next person: "Odd number."

"Five." Luo Kai held the silver egg and rushed to Kun, "There are five in the bucket, Your Highness."

Kun tore off the lid, and sure enough there were five red eggs inside.

"Brother Luo Xian has never guessed wrong since he started playing egg fighting. What kind of secret deduction are you doing? I have obviously deceived the secret?"

"It's just a little skill, it's hard to be elegant." Luo Kai held the silver egg and went to calculate the other two princes.

"His Highness six, His Highness Third..."

Shaking his head, Luo Kai held back and continued to pass the silver egg on: "Below nine."

The so-called prompt is just a gimmick.

Everyone showed their magical powers, or used celestial secrets to deduce, or used divine pupils to see through, or waited for others to eliminate wrong answers.

After a short circle, the silver egg was in Peng Yu's hands.

He weighed the silver egg and immediately understood where Kun Sheng's golden egg came from.

Presumably Kun Yu used his golden egg as a messenger at first, but Kun Sheng snatched it away?

He looked at the crowd, with a flash of purple in his eyes, randomly counted the number of a few people, and passed it to the Great Sun King on the other side: "Even number."

"Even number? Then I'll guess yours." Da Ri Wang Kunyi said: "The number of Kunhao's younger brothers is six?"

With a move in Peng Yu's heart, the Qiankun Xianqi rolled up slightly, changing the number of eggs from six to eight.

That's right, Qiankun Immortal Art is the most cheating skill in gambling games.

Luo Kai seemed to have noticed something.He looked down at the result of his calculation.It was calculated that there were six in the bucket just now, but now there are eight.

"Wrong." Peng Yu shook his head, covered the red cloth with his hand, and changed it to four.

Luo Kai stared at the divination results changing again, then saw Peng Yu's expression remained normal, and thought: "This junior brother is really thick-skinned."

But no matter how much Peng Yu cheated, he could barely escape four rounds of guessing.At the fifth time, the number of red eggs cannot be changed.

Therefore, Peng Yu generously handed over a red egg when the third person guessed the egg.

At the end of this round, Peng Yu won eight trophies with the Qiankun Purple Eye, and successfully entered the next round.

In this way, after several rounds, more and more red eggs piled up in front of Peng Yu, and fewer and fewer people participated in the auspicious egg ceremony.

In the end, only King Da Ri, Luo Kai, Zhuan Yun, Kun Yu, Peng Yu and the two aristocratic families remained.
