After the immortal disappeared

He Lingchuan looked back and saw that he was a rugged man. Today he was wearing a white and red brocade suit and three plain gold earrings on his ears.

Zuo Zongchang of Luodian Kingdom has a canal like the sea.

Although the Yao Kingdom was not at odds with the Luodian Kingdom, a big country should behave like a big country, so King Yao still invited Qu Ruhai to sit at the VIP table to watch the ceremony.

Qu Ruhai smiled and said: "We have met less than three times in half a month. Congratulations to the island master, we are quite destined."

We had barbecue once in the small courtyard and once in Chibao. Today is the third time.

He Lingchuan responded: "There are several monasteries in the second phase of Youhu Villa. They will be unveiled in Chibao the night after tomorrow, and they will be photographed secretly. If Clan Master Qu is interested, please come and support me."

While all the officials were there, he also advertised his project.

"What is a 'dark shot'?"

He Lingchuan explained to him, and Qu Ruhai slapped the table and said with a smile: "Ah ha, interesting! I will definitely go and see it."

He banged the table, which was very rude. The officials glared at him, but Qu Ruhai just ignored him.

At this time, the audience sang: "The Chief Supervisor has arrived!"

Qingyang is here.

The scene fell silent, and everyone turned to look at the palace gate.

Qingyang came dressed up today, wearing a white dress and a crown, with cloud-pattern embroidery on his chest, and a golden belt as wide as a palm around his waist.

The clothes tend to be off-white, and the colors inside and outside are very layered.

The moment she Shi Shiran stepped in, the wind blowing through Yuquan Palace seemed to freeze.

All the officials quickly saluted her.

He Yang and seven or eight others followed her, following her step by step, holding their heads high.

Qingyang looked around and smiled at everyone, his demeanor was graceful but condescending.

She walked to her seat and lowered her eyes slightly.

The seat arranged for her by the Yao Kingdom was at the lower right of King Yao, only half a step lower.

There was no expression on her face, and she sat down with her hands folded. He Yang and others stood behind her with their hands behind their backs, saying nothing.

As soon as the Superintendent came, the Yuquan Palace seemed to be even cooler, even a little freezing.

He Lingchuan also sat down, beside him was the newly promoted Zhenbei General Yu Wenyong.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, his position happened to be directly opposite Qingyang, who could see him when he lowered his head.

Qingyang was looking at him now, his eyes reserved.

This guy makes noise on the other side of the lake all day long, and digs the road she must pass to and from Huajia Island like a mountain village muddy ground, making it clear that he wants to make her angry.

Although it was given by King Yao, He Xiao is really a tough guy.

He Lingchuan felt her gaze and gave her a friendly smile. He looked particularly handsome in the sunshine.

But this smile fell in He Yang's eyes, and it was Chi Guoguo's provocation.

The man surnamed He is causing trouble on the other side of the lake every day. If the palace owner has a bad temper and doesn't care about him, he still gets into trouble?

He secretly clenched his fist and made two clicking sounds.

In such a noisy environment, Qingyang also heard it. She didn't raise her head and said softly: "What's the rush? It's not time yet."

This kid couldn't be proud for long. He Yang secretly took a breath: "Yes."

The soul-capturing mirror in He Lingchuan's arms clicked his tongue: "He Yang seems to want to swallow you up. We have never offended him to death before, right?"

That is to say, on the day when the foundation stone of Youhu Villa was laid, there was a little conflict. So P is a big deal and worth bearing a grudge on?

He Lingchuan shook his head invisibly, it was just a matter of temper.

But he can probably understand He Yang's psychology. Xi Yunhe once said that when he wholeheartedly worships his teacher, he is happy with Qingyang's joy and angry with Qingyang's anger. Qingyang didn't even need to speak, he wanted to solve all the worries for the palace master.

What is the difference between He Yang today and Xi Yunhe in the past?

Impulsive, hot-blooded and capable, but arrogant and devoted to the palace master.

Well, this can be used.

He Lingchuan made some calculations in his mind and ostensibly started chatting with Yu Wenyong. Before the longevity ceremony started, many officials also came here to chat with the chiefs.

There were many people surrounding He Lingchuan and Yu Wenyong.

Yu Wenyong is a rising star, and some people want to curry favor with him; but those surrounding He Lingchuan are all asking about Youhu Villa and Chibao Secret Photography.

In Qingyang, the officials paid a courtesy visit.

After smiling and saluting, and chatting for a few words, the officials retreated, not daring to stay too long for fear of causing unnecessary misunderstandings.

Only a few senior officials stayed to talk to Qingyang.

Qingyang's face remained as usual and he was talking and laughing freely. She has lived for almost 200 years. What kind of scenes has she not seen before, what kind of embarrassment has she not experienced?

But her Qingwei looked unhappy because of such neglect.

Not long after, the visitor sang loudly:

"The king has arrived!"

The supreme ruler of this country has arrived.

Today, King Yao is wearing a red gold imperial robe and a colorful crown on his head, looking very high-spirited.

That imperial uniform was specially made by the production office for the fifty-ninth birthday. It took more than seven months and was decorated with gold, jewels, jade, and pearls. It also came with seven functions: shimmer, dust removal, cold protection, and weight loss. Formation, otherwise this dress would weigh more than fifty kilograms, and it would be a bit difficult for King Yao to wear it.

The crown on her head was also very exquisite, with a jade crown and gold and red agate, but at first glance, He Lingchuan felt that it seemed a little too small.

King Yao's head is already too big, so this Hua Mian looks smaller.

As soon as he appeared, all the officials bowed down and saluted.

King Yao walked through the green steps of Yuquan Palace, walked smoothly to the tree, and sat down slowly.

His position is under the old pear tree. Looking up, he can see the canopy of pavilions, jade trees and fragrant snow.

Over the years, he has sat here every birthday.

Yao Wang looked down and saw that all the officials were respectful and the Yuquan Palace was still as luxurious as before.

This was still his prosperous era, except that there was an additional regent from Beijia beside him.

"All the ministers, please take your seats."

The old palace servant behind Yao Wang came out and tapped the jade chime three times, and the birthday ceremony officially began.

He first read out the achievements of Yao State in the past year. The parallel prose was written in a beautiful and well-balanced manner. In the text, Yao State was blessed with good weather, peace and prosperity, and the people were in awe. It was an ideal country on the Shining Gold Plain.

Then Yao Wang gave a speech himself.

He Lingchuan found it quite interesting because it was a summary of the work of the Yao Court in the past year.

However, Yao Wang's speech was not long, just two quarters of an hour, and then he entered the next step:

Presenting gifts.

Foreign envoys and officials presented gifts to Yao Wang.

The envoys and palace servants would sing the ceremony publicly, so this was a competition to see whose gift was more novel, more precious, or more interesting.

And many dynamics and details can be seen in the gift-giving process.

For example, this time the seven allied countries did not send gifts separately, but Situ He sent a special envoy with full authority to send generous gifts.

This move clearly shows that the allied forces are now stable and united, and they are united in the face of the outside world.

The stance, pace, will and action are all consistent, so the allied forces are sending gifts to King Yao as a whole.

Seeing this gift, He Lingchuan was relieved.

Situ He himself is capable and grows fast. After his father was attacked, he quickly gathered people's hearts and united the members of the allied forces around him again.

This is not easy.

King Yao had a blank expression when he heard the gift list, but He Lingchuan knew that he did not want to see a united allied force.

After all, every new powerful force that rises on the Shining Gold Plain is likely to be a challenge to the Yao Kingdom.

More than 160 years ago, the nine countries jointly attacked the Yao Kingdom.

The gift He Lingchuan sent was also quite standard, not shabby but not outstanding, just a courtesy.

The King of Yao called him to Tianshui City, of course, not because of his gift, both sides knew it.

So when the King of Yao smiled and praised him a few words, and issued a reward, He Lingchuan knew that this was for Qingyang across the street to see.

While the foreign envoys from various countries were presenting gifts, He Lingchuan asked Yuwen Yong: "The king's crown is very exquisite."

Yuwen Yong said "yes", and didn't say much.

Qu Ruhai, the left chief of Luodian, who was standing next to him, took over: "That was a birthday gift from the gods, probably in the morning."

He Lingchuan asked curiously: "How do you know?"

The first place the King of Yao went to for his birthday was the Miaozhan Temple of the God of Heaven. However, a Luodian person actually knew what the gods gave to the King of Yao?

Qu Ruhai shrugged: "Every ten years of his birthday, the Miaozhan God of Heaven will give a crown to the King of Yao, and the King of Yao will wear it to attend his birthday. This is a routine that cannot be shaken, and this year will be no exception."

He Lingchuan understood and thanked him.

It turned out that the crown was given by Miao Zhantian, and it was a little small. Was it because the craftsman hired by the apostle of the temple was not good?

The soul-catching mirror in his arms was strange: "Oh - it's too small, I can't wear it well."

He Lingchuan couldn't help but smile. However, this kind of crown is originally fixed on the head with a rope, so it doesn't matter if it's a little smaller.

The folks celebrated the birthday of King Yao. Rice and flour were distributed in various places, temple fairs were held, and there were troupes of operas and acrobatics on the streets. There was smoke from firecrackers everywhere, which was more lively than the New Year.

In Yuquan Palace, the banquet had already begun.

The feast that King Yao entertained the guests had a total of 72 dishes, including hot dishes, cold dishes, soup dishes, side dishes, fresh fruits, candied fruits, and pastries mainly made of pastries and cakes, etc. There were a variety of dishes, but the amount of each was very small, basically only enough for one mouthful.

After more than 30 dishes, He Lingchuan still felt a little hungry.

There were also good shows on the dance floor, and even magic performances. The distinguished guests and officials enjoyed the performances while enjoying the food. There were often interactive conversations between the monarch and his subjects, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

After the two operas, the interactive session began, which was also one of the highlights of each birthday ceremony:

Martial arts competition to liven up the atmosphere.

Yao State claimed to be founded on martial arts, and the tradition of the ancestors' founding of the country could not be abandoned, so the birthday celebration of King Yao must have this reserved program.

This was a tribute performance, and it could not be like a brawl in the vegetable market, so the martial arts competition could not be a group fight, only a single duel was allowed.

In the past birthday ceremonies of King Yao, there were clashes between warriors and duels between humans and strange beasts.

Some were arranged in advance, and some were temporary challenges - the martial arts competition in front of the emperor was allowed to be challenged on the spot. If the nobles being challenged were unwilling to go on stage in person, they could let their guards and retainers replace them.

If no one was injured, it was called harmony;

If someone died in battle, it was called a bloody start.
