Start practicing from marrying a disfigured princess

Chapter 27
Too many words will be lost.

Ren Pingsheng just nodded, then took the geese necessary for Na Cai from the guards, held them in his arms, and followed behind the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

The wild goose in his arms also cooperated, poking his head and looking around, his small eyes revealed a clarity that was not polluted by knowledge.

The rest of the guards followed closely behind, holding various gifts.

Li Yong was the last one, holding the lead sheep in his hand.

The sheep was so stubborn that it had to be pulled hard to go away, which made him very angry.

A group of people passed through the Meridian Gate and saw a square paved with jade.

There are five exquisite white marble arch bridges on the square, and there is a Jinshui River under the bridges, which is shaped like a jade belt.

Going further inside is another door.

Ren Pingsheng hugged wild geese and followed the officials from the Ministry of Rites through the gate.

Looking up, a resplendent and resplendent palace stands in front of you, with yellow glazed tiles gleaming. From a distance, it looks like a fairy palace in mythology, magnificent and solemn!

"It's magnificent." Ren Pingsheng admired in his heart.

"My lord, please salute."

The voice of the official of the Ministry of Rites came.

Ren Pingsheng came back to his senses, gently put down the wild goose, and paid homage in the direction of Fengtian Temple.

The officials of the Ministry of Rituals stared at Ren Pingsheng, seeing that his salute was beyond reproach, they stepped forward and picked up the wild goose.

"My lord, please wait a moment."

After speaking, he hugged the wild goose and walked towards the distant hall.

Behind.

The eunuchs of the Ministry of Rituals had already received the gifts from the guards and followed behind the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

The sheep was as stubborn as ever, and insisted on not leaving, and it took two or three little eunuchs to pull it away, itching with hatred.

The wild goose who was carried away by the officials of the Ministry of Rituals was probably used to living in Ren's mansion. Seeing familiar people getting farther and farther away from him, he stretched his neck and let out a shrill cry.

"quack--"

The sound was loud and spread in all directions, echoing in the quiet palace for a long time.

"."

The corner of Ren Pingsheng's mouth twitched, and he was speechless for a while.

The few guards behind wanted to laugh, but they held it back abruptly, without saying a word.

I don't know how long I waited.

The official from the Ministry of Rituals returned to Ren Pingsheng, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, His Majesty has accepted the ceremony and the letter of acceptance, and the acceptance is over."

Is this the end?
It's not the same as I imagined.

Ren Pingsheng thought he would be made things difficult, but in fact the whole process was very harmonious.

It went so smoothly, probably because the etiquette was wrong, and there were officials who had to be punished?
After thinking about it, he listened to the official from the Ministry of Rites and said:

"His Royal Highness is hosting a banquet for the prince in Jinshen Hall, please invite the prince to the banquet."

"it is good."

Ren Pingsheng nodded, looked at the guard behind him, waved his hand and said, "You wait for me outside the palace."

"Yes!"

The guards saluted and turned to leave.

after that.

Under the guidance of the guards of the Ministry of Rites.

Ren Pingsheng came to the gate of Jinshen Hall.

Looking up, what comes into view is a piece of imperial road stone carved with various patterns.

There are cliffs, sea water and flowing clouds. If you observe carefully, you can see nine dragons with mouth-playing orbs. The image is dynamic and full of vitality.

Entering the main hall, you can see the floor paved with gold bricks.

Sitting north to south, there is a carved golden lacquer throne.

On it sat a woman.

She is wearing a red crimson robe with golden thorns and five phoenixes. She has exquisite features and fair skin. She has a dignified temperament between glances.

Seeing her for the first time, Ren Pingsheng couldn't help popping out a word in his mind - the charm is still there.

Afterwards, he tortured himself severely in his heart. How could anyone use such words to describe the mother-in-law, despicable!

After a brief period of cranky thinking, he calmed down and bowed upright:

"Chen Zhenbei Prince Ren Pingsheng, see Your Highness the Queen!"

The queen on the throne nodded slightly, looking down at Ren Pingsheng, her expression neither sad nor happy.

"Give me a seat, take a seat."

After the words fell, a court lady moved the bench and placed it behind the table at the front.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Ren Pingsheng saluted again, walked to the desk and sat down.

The queen looked around and asked, "Who hasn't arrived yet?"

"Return to Your Highness, Princess Yunhe and Prince An are delayed by something, so we will arrive later."

"Then we won't wait."

It's just a family banquet, there are not so many trivial etiquettes, it's good for the protagonist to enter the venue.

The Queen waved her hand.

After a while, there is music playing.

Accompanied by the melody, a graceful dancer walked into the hall and danced gracefully.

At the same time, the court ladies brought all kinds of delicacies and placed them in front of everyone's table.

Ren Pingsheng looked around and found that most of the people at the banquet were people of the same age as him.

There are men and women.

Judging from the costumes, there are officials from the six ministries, as well as relatives of the emperor.

Most of them knew each other, and after the dishes came, they exchanged cups and chatted.

Ren Pingsheng tactfully lowered his head and ate the food, not to stir up trouble.

It has to be said that the imperial cooks in the palace are skilled, and the food they cook is delicious, which is more than a little bit better than the cooks recruited by the Ren family.

Ren Pingsheng ate for a while without distracting thoughts, and found that the hall was becoming more and more lively.

Looking up, he saw that the throne was empty.

It turned out that at some point, the queen had quietly left with several concubines.

Ren Pingsheng thought to himself:
"This empress understands very well. She took away all the elders and left everyone room to play."

Banquet is nothing more than eating, drinking and merrymaking.

Needless to say, eating and drinking.

Fun is mainly carried out around "wine", including but not limited to throwing pots, flying flower orders, and curved water flowing cups.

When the elders are present, if they drink too much alcohol, their behavior will inevitably be inappropriate.

So everyone restrained themselves and tried not to drink too much.

After the elders left, the situation was completely different.

People who are close to each other, no matter how much they drink, must drink the other party to get down, so that they can enjoy themselves.

just
None of this has anything to do with Ren Pingsheng.

today.

He's just a heartless eating machine, that's all.

Ren Pingsheng thought so, picked up a piece of bear paw meat, and put it in his mouth.

This is the first time he has eaten this food, it is a bit fishy, ​​and it is delicious beyond imagination.

Just when Ren Pingsheng was concentrating on eating and drinking.

Several people were watching him silently.

Seeing that he was silent all the time, someone couldn't bear it anymore, took out a jade pendant from his bosom, stood up, and said with a smile: "I'm throwing bricks to attract jade, please use your aspirations as the topic, compose poems and lyrics. The Earth Cold Jade will be given to him!"

The speaker was Yuan Zhe, son of Uncle Zhongqin and son-in-law of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites.

The voice fell.

The hall was silent for a moment.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard the words "Northern Cold Jade".

This thing is a treasure, and it is only found in the cold land occupied by barbarians north of the northern border.

Wearing it on the body can nourish the meridians and warm up the spirit.

It can be used by warriors, Confucian scholars, Taoists, and even Buddhist disciples.

"This banquet is held for the son of Prince Zhenbei. As we all know, this person has mediocre talent, no ambitions, and has been doing nothing for 20 years...

Yuan Zhe proposed to use ambition as the topic, clearly intending to humiliate him.

Don't know how he will react. "

Ren Pingsheng is directly opposite.

Jin Wang Liu Yutong looked at Yuan Zhe, then at Ren Pingsheng, with a smile on his lips, as if he was watching the excitement.
