Travel to ancient times and make a fortune

Soon, the Longevity Festival arrived.

Early in the morning on the sixth day of September, Ouyang Yiyun came to Li's house.

Because Li Xiao was going to the palace today, Ouyang Yiyun took the opportunity to pick her up and relieve her lovesickness.

At the Wanshou Festival banquet, the Li family, in addition to Li Xiao, Li Qingsong and Li Qingzhu will attend. As for Li Qingbai, sorry, he has the duty of guard.

In the early afternoon, at the beginning of the afternoon, the three brothers and sisters of the Li family, together with Ouyang Yiyun, rode in two carriages and entered the imperial city along with the traffic entering the palace.

The palace banquet was held at the beginning of the Shen Dynasty, but no one would be there on time.

When Li Xiao and the others arrived, many people had already arrived in the Hall of Supreme Harmony and outside the hall.

According to the rank of the Li family brothers, they should have taken a seat outside the palace, but there was a professed county head in the family who was also the future daughter-in-law of Prince Xiaoyao, so this seat was moved to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Of course, it is in the middle and bottom position.

The seats in Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion were naturally in the frontmost area, but since there was still some time left for the palace banquet, Ouyang Yiyun stayed at the Li family's seat and talked to a few people.

When you are idle and bored, you naturally talk about gossip.

Ouyang Yiyun signaled Li Xiao with his eyes, looked at the families who were already present, and told Li Xiao some gossip he knew.

The head wife of Mr. Mo had given birth to five daughters in a row, so he had to send his maid to Mr. Mo's bed. Unexpectedly, after ten months, the maid got a boy at one stroke, and almost took away the position of the mistress.

There is also Mr. Luo. The old lady is partial. She doesn't like Mr. Luo, but loves Yao'er and loves her to no avail. Finally, Yao'er committed a crime and was sent to the hospital. The old lady is very sad and is still in bed.

There is also the Yan Yushi who is always verbally criticizing others, but fails to teach his own children well. If his children do something shameful, and things are exposed, the Yan Yushi just sends the people to Zhuangzi and that's it.

After being petitioned by other officials, it is basically considered early retirement.If it hadn't been for a nephew in the family, he probably wouldn't have been able to enter the Hall of Supreme Harmony today.

Ouyang Yiyun spoke vividly, Li Xiao listened with gusto, and even the two brothers Li Qingsong and Li Qingzhu on the side were also fascinated.

"I didn't expect that there are so many interesting people and things in this aristocratic family!" Li Xiao exclaimed with a smile.

While a few people were chatting, many more people came into the hall. Li Xiao looked at the clothes and faces that were different from the common people in Dali, and knew that this was a foreign mission.

"This is Dameng's mission." Ouyang Yiyun said softly.

Li Xiao nodded, then looked at Ouyang Yiyun and said, "I think people have almost arrived. Don't you need to go back to the seat in the palace?" Li Xiao saw that since the palace and his party arrived, the princess had been there more than once. Look this way.

"Don't worry, there will be a while." After saying that, he continued to popularize the science of Mongolia with Li Xiao.

"Da Meng is located in the north of Dali. Almost half of the year is winter. But perhaps it is because of the environment that Dameng is known as a warlike country, but its combat power is not weak."

"Six or seven years ago, Dameng tried to enter the border to seize food and other supplies. Fortunately, General Zhenbei was stationed at the border and killed [-] of Dameng's [-]-strong army. Only then did Dameng stop."

After listening to Ouyang Yiyun's words, Li Xiao suddenly thought of something and asked, "Are they the ones who bought down jackets at Jinxiu Pavilion these days?"

Ouyang Yiyun nodded.

Li Xiao pursed her lips when she heard this.

While they were talking, another group of people entered the palace. They looked like the costumes of the ethnic minorities in Li Xiao's previous life, which looked really good-looking.

"Great call." "This is a great call."

The two said in unison.

Then, Ouyang Yiyun continued to popularize science in Li Xiao's ears.

Haiguo was the last one among the three countries’ missions to enter.

Li Xiao looked at the delegation from the Sea Kingdom and found that most of them were darker, or I shouldn't say black, but wheat-colored, which should be the color of their skin after being exposed to the wind and sun all year round.

As for the styles of clothing and hair accessories, there is not much difference between Haiguo and Dali, but the popular styles are a little different.

Ouyang Yiyun originally wanted to continue to educate Li Xiao, but as the envoys from the Three Kingdoms had all taken their seats, the emperor's guard of honor was getting closer and closer.

Helpless, Ouyang Yiyun could only give Li Xiao a few more instructions and quickly returned to his seat in the palace.

Li Xiao looked from a distance and could still see the princess lecturing Ouyang Yiyun, but Ouyang Yiyun just laughed, making the princess roll her eyes in anger and turned her head to ignore him.

Li Xiao felt a little funny looking at it, but also a little happy.

How lucky she is that after having parents and brothers who love her, she can also find a husband who loves her and a husband who really likes her.

While I was thinking, six high-pitched voices came from outside the palace: "The Emperor is here, the Queen Mother is here, and the concubines are here!"

All Dali officials and their family members inside and outside the hall knelt on the ground with cheers.

Although the envoys from the Three Kingdoms did not kneel down, they stood up respectfully and stood quietly.

"Welcome to the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Queen Mother!"

The singing harmony was uniform and deafening. The sound echoed inside and outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and it took a while before it dispersed.

"Let's all get back together!" The emperor waved cheerfully after sitting down.

As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuch who announced the order passed the order outside the palace. Upon hearing this, all the officials and their family members respectfully thanked him and then stood up and took their seats.

This year happens to be the Emperor's 30th birthday and the Emperor's [-]th year on the throne. For Emperor Ouyang Qing, it is still a very meaningful birthday banquet.

Seeing everyone sitting down, the emperor looked at the seats where the delegation was sitting in a good mood and said with a bright smile: "Today is my Wanshou Festival. It is rare that all three countries are here this year. I am very happy. When you return home, you must thank me on my behalf." Your Majesty."

Naturally, everyone in the mission stood up and saluted again, and poured out the official polite words for free, which made Li Xiao sigh in amazement.

After some pleasantries with the envoys, the emperor began to detail the development and changes of the Dali calendar in the past two years. He also looked forward to the future and made expectations for all the princes and officials before ordering the banquet.

It is said that the banquet is started, but actually it is just starting to serve the food.

Although there were many people in the palace, there were also many officials and family members attending the banquet. Serving food was not an easy task.

While the palace servants were serving the dishes, the prince and the princes of the emperor's direct line began to present birthday gifts.

As for the others, I'm sorry, but there are people in the side hall next to the Hall of Supreme Harmony who are responsible for registering gifts. When officials come, they can just send the gifts to the side hall. They can present birthday gifts in person. I'm sorry, but I haven't met this qualification yet.

After the prince and princes presented their birthday gifts, the food and wine were basically ready, the emperor raised his glass, all the officials drank together, and the palace banquet began. (End of chapter)
