Chapter 238 Welcome Banquet One
The welcome banquet starts at Shen time in the afternoon and ends at Xu time in the evening.

Before the application time came, everyone had already gathered in Baohe Hall (a hall specially designed for entertaining foreigners and courtiers).

The Hall of Preserving Harmony is nine rooms wide and five rooms deep (including one in the front porch), with a construction area of ​​about 30 square meters and a height of [-] meters.

The roof is double eaves, covered with yellow glazed tiles, and nine small animals are placed on the upper and lower eaves corners.The upper eaves are single-warped Chongang seven-step dougong, and the lower eaves are Chongang five-step dougong.

The inner and outer eaves are all colored paintings of golden dragons and seals, and the ceiling is covered with gold and dragons on the front.The six painted ceiling beams are extremely unique, and they are in harmony with the decoration and furnishings that emphasize red, making it appear luxurious and luxurious.

The floor of the hall is paved with gold bricks, and there are carved golden lacquer thrones from north to south.Between the east and west ends is the Nuan Pavilion, with two board doors, and a wooden embossed Ruyi Yunlong Hun gold Pilu hat.

The building adopts the method of reducing columns, and subtracts six gold columns from the front eaves of the hall to make the space spacious and comfortable.

Today, only officials above the second rank and princes above can enter the palace to have a banquet, and there is room for everyone to sit in the palace. If it is the day of the little emperor’s birthday, officials below the third rank can only sit in the square outside the palace. on.

This is just an ordinary birthday celebration. If it is a big celebration like every tenth, as long as officials of the fourth rank from all over the country have to come to the capital to celebrate their birthdays without special reasons, it is not only the third rank who have to go to the square outside the palace, even Third grade, some officials from outside Beijing have to sit outside.

It is not used today, and there is even Fuyu in the hall, the seats are not too tight, and the space left in the middle for performances is spacious enough.

The hall is full of dignitaries, but who knows if they are real friends or not!

As soon as Xushi arrived, the loud and distinctive singing of the eunuch came from outside the hall.

"The emperor is here!~~~The regent is here!~~~The empress dowager is here!~~~The queen mother is here!~~~"

The hall was immediately silent, and then the sound of all the ministers kneeling on the ground came out.

Fenghua, who was supporting the empress dowager, rolled his eyes at the eunuch who shouted until his neck was thick, it was really difficult, if he didn't eat two more chicken legs when he went back, his physical strength would definitely not recover.

The little emperor was at the front, and behind him was the regent and the empress dowager, who had recently left.

It's just that the Queen Mother's complexion doesn't look very beautiful.

Fenghua supported the Empress Dowager, not only did Fenghua walk almost at the same level as the Regent and the Empress Dowager, but it turned into her walking behind Fenghua.

For a queen mother who has always been arrogant, can she be happy?

As soon as the little emperor's bright yellow body entered the hall, everyone immediately shouted long live and hello, and this time they shouted more tiredly.

"Long live my emperor, long live long live, long live long live, long live long live, long live long live, long live long live, thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old, to a thousand years old, to a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!

Hundreds of people spoke together, and the sound was really loud.

But Fenghua only felt one thing, and that was—tired!
Fortunately, she was kept by the Empress Dowager to come here together. If she wants to repeat it like this, she is afraid that she will go crazy.

On the high platform, the little emperor sits on the throne in the middle, the regent is on the left side of the little emperor, and the empress dowager is on the right.

Helping the Empress Dowager to sit down, Fenghua immediately stepped down from the high platform and came to her own seat.

Of course, don't even think about asking her to kneel.

Naturally, someone understood what she was thinking. As soon as she retreated to the seat, the little emperor above had already dismissed her courtesy.

"rise!"

"Long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, thousand years to the empress dowager, thousand years, thousand years to the regent, thousand years, thousand years to the queen mother!" After another long series of shouts, everyone got up and returned to their seats. good.

As soon as everyone sat down, the voice of the eunuch singing outside immediately sounded.

"I invite King Changping of Haohai Kingdom!~~~~" Haohai is the largest country, so it is naturally the first one to invite.

Just when Fenghua thought that Haohai's Changping King would come in like they did just now, the voice from outside rang out again, and then another rang out from farther away.

elegance. . .

It turns out that the eunuch's singing has a chain.

All the officials seemed to be familiar with this scene, all of them were sitting upright, only she poked her head out with a surprised look on her face.

For Fenghua, everyone has always paid keen attention to Fenghua.

From the very beginning she won the face of the empress dowager and the regent, from a woman became the second-rank censor of Zuodu, and then she made another big move in the less than a month of being an official.

Everyone thought she would be domineering, but for no reason, she rushed into the palace, as if she had fought with the regent, and then disappeared strangely, ignoring the court.

Seeing that the regent's attitude towards her was also indifferent, many officials' attitudes had been shaken, and they even felt that the empress dowager and the regent were just playing with Prince Qing's mansion.

But the reappearance of Princess Fenghua came out with the Empress Dowager, and seeing the appearance of the Empress Dowager, she still liked Princess Fenghua very much.

But looking at the seat where Princess Fenghua is sitting now, everyone is entangled again.

Today's ranking is top loose and bottom tight. Below the high platform where the emperor and the regent sit, on both sides are the seats of foreign envoys, which is a platform lower than the emperor's throne.

That is to say, the high platform actually has two floors. The first floor has three steps from the ground up. The semicircular platform can accommodate twelve main seats, six on the left and one on the left, and several rows of auxiliary seats around them.Sitting here are the famous envoys from foreign countries.

Next, the envoys of various countries sat in the front, then the princes, and then the officials of the DPRK and China.

It stands to reason that Princess Fenghua is the censor of Zuodu, the second rank, and she should sit at the top of the second rank.The first-rank civil servants are full of calculations, and Fenghua's upper seal is only seven or eight. According to normal, the Fenghua princess should sit in the middle and inner position.

But her seat was lined up behind the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and behind the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, she was a third-rank official.

Don't say it's close to the high platform, it's a long distance from King Qing.

Can this make the officials quiet?

Is this still embarrassing, or has the regent hated him already?
The Minister of the Ministry of Justice even glanced at Fenghua from time to time, looking at Fenghua's eyes sorely as he wanted to speak.

When everyone was thinking about it, a team of five people walked up.

The person in the front is the frivolous Changping King, still dressed in yellow, even the gold fan in his hand has not been changed.

The four people who seemed to be officials behind him seemed much more comfortable, at least they were dressed normally, although their faces looked like they were here to seek revenge.

When he came to the high platform, King Changping just offered his hand and saluted, "I have seen Emperor Longyao."

There is nothing wrong with his ceremony, he is the second in command of the largest country.

But the officials behind him stood straight and motionless, which made all the officials present look ugly.
