Chapter 202 Attending the Banquet
Yang Yuyao really didn't expect that the chaos of the flower festival in the morning would actually alarm the king of Cangran Kingdom. Yang Yuyao, who was frightened by the crazy people, did not leave the inn room all day, and even brought his own food to the room. He never went to his balcony again, but even so, there was still an endless stream of people trying to visit him. He Qianqing helped him drive them all away. But in the evening, it was the imperial decree and invitation personally brought by the imperial official. Letter, inviting him to attend the King's Flower Letter Festival dinner.
"You must be Immortal Master Yang. We are here to invite you, Master Immortal, to attend His Majesty's Flower Letter Festival dinner." The official, who looked to be in his early forties, and the two accompanying men opened their eyes after seeing Yang Yuyao. With his eyes wide open, it took him a long time to recover from the shock. After bowing his hands and saluting, he began to introduce himself and explain his origins.
After accepting the appointment and setting off, the official surnamed Wang naturally understood the reason for this incident, but he heard that the cause of everyone's confusion was that the man's appearance was so beautiful that everyone who saw him couldn't help but be fascinated by him. , he scoffed. In his opinion, he has been in office for so many years and has been frequently used by the emperor. He has also seen a lot of beauties. How could someone be able to see and cause such a situation? He didn't know that he was superficial until he saw it with his own eyes.
When the young immortal master appeared in front of him, he was wearing a plain light blue outer robe with a white inner layer and a light blue hair tie. The whole outfit was extremely simple. However, even wearing such a set of clothes similar to those of a poor scholar, the young man still looked full of immortality and nobility against the backdrop of the young man's stunning face. Others depend on their clothes, but he depends on his clothes.
"Invite me to a dinner at this time? I'm afraid it's the Hongmen Banquet, right?" Yang Yuyao, who learned about this from the official, thought to himself, but for an invitation from the head of a country, he had to give some face. After all, Dongfeng Logistics and Haina All banks have their offices here. Fortunately, his status as a monk gave him room to maneuver. Yang Yuyao turned his attention to He Qianqing, and after their eyes met, he received He Qianqing's promise, so Yang Yuyao expressed the hope that He Qianqing would go with him. It wasn't because he was worried that the king of Cangran Kingdom would set up a trap that would be detrimental to him. He didn't really only have the Golden Core stage, so he didn't panic when it came to a real fight.
What he was worried about was that he didn't understand this kind of palace etiquette at all. If he went alone, he would definitely get a bad look, be embarrassed and make others laugh. What's more, this kind of high-end social scene will make him very uncomfortable. It would be better to have someone he knows and trusts by his side.
Naturally, the official named Wang couldn't make the decision, so he quickly asked a man who came with him who looked like a palace guard to return immediately and report the matter to their emperor. After all, the visitor behaved politely and it was not easy to deliberately create difficulties, so Yang Yuyao invited the official named Wang and another man into the room to drink tea and wait.
Although after entering the house, if they recognized that there was only one big bed in this room, the two people would be suspicious of the relationship between Yang Yuyao and He Qianqing, but the eyes of the two people in Cangran Kingdom fell entirely on Yang Yuyao and did not move away for a moment. Yes, even though He Qianqing was leading the conversation, the two people's attention was entirely on Yang Yuyao. They didn't notice at all what kind of furnishings there were in the room.
The man who looked like a guard was obviously very good at martial arts. Even if he was not a monk, he was still very fast. Generally speaking, the capital structure of this world is basically divided into an imperial city, an inner city and an outer city. The monarch and the Afterwards, the descendants of the palace naturally lived in the imperial city, while the inner city was home to high-ranking officials, various princes and their families. Only the outer city was inhabited by common people, and all kinds of commercial activities, inns, and restaurants were all carried out in the outer city. The inn where Yang Yuyao and the others stayed was no exception.
The guard was able to convey the news to the emperor's ears and bring back the response within the time of a stick of incense. If he was not a guard who could directly meet the emperor, it is likely that several people would have to pass on the news to him. service. If he didn't have great kung fu, he definitely wouldn't be able to do it so quickly.
I don’t know what the emperor’s specific plans were, but in short, he agreed that He Qianqing and Yang Yuyao would go together, and added He Qianqing’s invitation letter. So after promising to attend on time, they sent these people from the court away and prepared to change their clothes and go.
The banquet was held really late, and the official start time was W o'clock, but if the ministers and princes were to participate, they would be required to be there at You o'clock. Yang Yuyao and the others didn't need to rush so much, so they had plenty of time to change into clothes suitable for the banquet. They will not go there in a carriage and enter in the seats designated by other guests. As monks, to participate in such an event involving the royal family, they must fly there and show off their style. This is not a personal preference, but a must-do to stabilize the relationship between the monks and the mortal dynasty.
Participating in the banquet hosted by the king as other guests means that one is lowering oneself and willing to serve the king as superior. But the monks refused to let their status be lower than that of the king. Once these emperors had the idea that they were superior, the monks would not be so free. Conflicts between mortal kings and monks may also occur in more violent ways. You must know that what forces kings to recognize the status and rights of monks today is always fear of the power of monks. But how many people who can serve as emperors are not ambitious and willing to be mediocre?
"Xiao Yao, wear that crocodile gauze suit." He Qianqing suggested. To achieve sufficient appearance shock, you need to pay more attention to your natural appearance. Of course, Yang Yuyao's appearance is already stunning enough, but it is precisely because of this that he needs to dress up in a way that makes people feel unattainable after seeing him, so as to avoid some people's misunderstandings.
"That set..." Although the clothes made of shark gauze are almost all white, due to the material itself, they look shiny and very conspicuous. Yang Yuyao was a little hesitant, but thinking of the reasons for He Qianqing's proposal, he still chose to agree. "Okay, what about you, Master?"
"Xiao Yao, come and help me choose a set for my teacher." He Qianqing replied with a smile, and Yang Yuyao nodded and agreed.
The Flower Letter Festival dinner set by the king of Cangran Kingdom started at Wu hour and ended at Hai hour. That's like nine o'clock in the evening, and usually, Yang Yuyao starts to feel sleepy and wants to sleep around ten o'clock. But fortunately, I caught up on my sleep for a long time today, and my body has gradually adapted to being able to stay up all night. There is no problem if I stay up until midnight.
After changing their clothes and hair accessories, they set off to participate in the banquet. The location of this banquet was not within the palace city, but on a tower extending from the palace wall. In a sense, this walled building is actually considered the inner city. The inner city is not usually open to the public, and servants usually need to verify special badges to enter and exit. However, in some special cases, such as the performance teams of the Flower Letter Festival, you do not need to provide a waist card to enter. In front of the city tower where the annual Flower Letter Festival banquet is held, there is a large flat square specially built to hold various activities.
Of course, not all palace banquets are held on this tower, but this tower is very suitable for the emperor to watch large-scale performances without requiring people to enter the palace, and the safety factor will be much higher. After all, the city tower was so high that it would be difficult for even warriors, except monks, to forcefully climb the tower. The time required to climb up was enough for the guards around the emperor to react and stop the assassin.
"Eunuch Feng, where are the two distinguished guests over there?" A man in gorgeous clothes stopped the eunuch passing behind him and asked.
"Prince Qi, the position over there is for two immortal masters." The eunuch replied respectfully.
"Oh? Where did the immortal master come from?" the prince asked.
"Prince Qi, we don't know this either." The eunuch replied. He was only responsible for pouring wine for each guest, and he didn't even get the specific list of guests participating in the banquet. The prince did not embarrass him any more and waved him away.
But it didn't take long for these guests to basically know who the visitor was. Of course, they didn't know exactly what the two names Yang Yuyao and He Qianqing meant. They just roughly understood that the owners of these two names were called each other. She is the most beautiful woman in the world of immortality, and the other is regarded as the best person in swordsmanship today. This made these people extremely curious. They were particularly curious about the title of the most beautiful woman in the world of immortality, especially since the person who won this title was a man. Of course, beautiful men are also very popular, but in people's normal thinking, the person who can be chosen as the most beautiful woman should naturally be a woman. They couldn't wait to see what this person looked like to be able to outshine all the beauties and win such a title.
Halfway through the hour, Yang Yuyao and He Qianqing Yujian arrived at the city tower where the banquet was held. The lanterns all over the building lit up the night, and their figures flying towards Yujian clearly appeared in the eyes of everyone who had arrived at the venue. If the people sitting with their backs to each other didn't see it immediately, they would turn around and look at the master and disciple after noticing the eyes and movements of others.
He Qianqing wore a sapphire blue robe made by Caishangmen. The robes made by Caishangmen are expensive, but they are indeed very beautiful, and the fabrics they produce always have stunning visual effects. Like the suit He Qianqing is wearing today, it has a sapphire blue base and is not embroidered with gold thread, but as the light flows, it seems to be twinkling with stars. He was tall, erect, and handsome. He can definitely be called an unparalleled handsome man.
But these princes and ministers here will never mistakenly think that He Qianqing is the rumored most beautiful woman in the world of immortality, because the young man next to him is so eye-catching. Although standing side by side with He Qianqing, his figure looks slender and even... A little petite, but he is as dazzling as the scorching sun. Instead of being robbed of the limelight, he dominates the show.
"Oh my god, no wonder this immortal master can be called the most beautiful woman in the world of immortality!"
"Isn't this really an immortal who descended to earth?"
"It's so beautiful! It's so beautiful! I can meet such a beautiful person!"
Everyone was amazed, and some even stood up regardless of etiquette just to see Yang Yuyao more clearly. Those who knew that the sudden commotion when the Twelve Flower Gods were walking around the streets this morning was because people at that time saw the appearance of this young immortal master, instantly understood the origin of those impulses and madness. If they hadn't remembered where they were at this time, they would have rushed over to show their love like those people.
The king of Cangran Kingdom had no time to take into account the rude behavior of his subjects. The king himself was stunned. The wine glass he raised to his mouth was tilted, but the wine did not flow into his mouth, but flowed down, soaking his clothes. .
"Rogue cultivator Yang Yuyao and my master Qianqing Immortal Lord were invited by His Majesty to come here specially for a banquet." Yang Yuyao clasped his fists in salute and said.
"Welcome the two immortal masters, we are honored." The emperor of Cangran Kingdom quickly stood up from his seat, bent over with his arms raised above his head, and gave Yang Yuyao the highest level of hand-over. present. Others even knelt down one after another, as if they were prostrating themselves on the ground.
"Isn't this the right reaction? How could you give such a big salute?!" Yang Yuyao was stunned. From his perspective, it seemed that he was the king of a country, accepting everyone's obeisance. "Master, is their reaction normal?" Yang Yuyao quickly sent a message to He Qianqing to confirm.
"It's not normal. These people are probably a little crazy." He Qianqing responded without hesitation. Seeing these people salute like this, He Qianqing was also surprised. Even if mortals respect monks very much, no matter whether they are ministers or kings, they should not salute at such a level when facing monks.
Whether it is a hand-cup salute or a fist-clasping salute, the position of the hands and whether or not the person bends down means different levels of etiquette. Normally, their bow will not be higher than their chest. This salute is equivalent to a daily polite greeting. The higher the position of the saluting hand, the higher the status of the recipient.
Among monks, unless they have established a clear inheritance relationship, they will obviously distinguish between high and low status when saluting, otherwise they will salute as peers. For example, if Yang Yuyao wants to salute He Qianqing, the formal way is to bend down with his hands level with his head, because He Qianqing is Yang Yuyao's master. But when Yang Yuyao salutes with other senior monks, he only needs to hold his fists on his chest normally.
The reason why the world of immortality is like this is that the long lifespan of monks makes it difficult to determine their seniority. I am hundreds or even thousands of years younger than you, but I am your master-uncle. This situation is not uncommon in the world of immortality. Second, there is a more mainstream view in the world of immortality that people in the same realm are peers, which means that people in the same realm can be regarded as peers, regardless of age. But there will be a problem that if the apprentice or child has a higher realm than the master or parents and grandparents, they will become the predecessors of the elders. This is a bit messy, so many monks are opposed to this view. After constant debate, people acquiesced in this rule of etiquette.
Recalling that when Yang Yuyao officially became a disciple of He Qianqing, because of the reminder from Nanshan Immortal, He Qianqing just asked Yang Yuyao to perform the fist-holding ceremony and accepted a cup of tea from Yang Yuyao. The master-disciple relationship was concluded. Got off. This can be described as the most simple and carefree apprenticeship ceremony. But so what? The apprenticeship ceremony of three kowtows and nine bows may not necessarily lead to an excellent disciple.
Having said that, these rules of etiquette are common to both monks and mortals. The monks are naturally happy to see the emperor and ministers of a country salute like this. But for the king of a country, this should not be the case. Those who can receive this gift are heaven, earth and gods. When a king pays this courtesy to a monk, it is equivalent to accepting himself as a minister. In this way, where does it place the people of the country?
"Get up quickly, why do you guys have to salute for so long? Do you still want me to say you are equal?" Looking at the reactions of these people, Yang Yuyao felt a little tired. He wasn't sure if it was because his outfit tonight had such a huge impact on these people. After all, he didn't usually dress like this, which caused these people to behave inappropriately.
When Yang Yuyao accepted He Qianqing's suggestion and put on the robe made of shark gauze given by He Qianqing, even though the shark gauze itself had its own sparkle, He Qianqing felt that wearing white was still too plain. So he added golden decorative chains to this set of clothes. Yang Yuyao was not sure of the specific names of these jewelry. He didn't know if they should be called body chains. Some of them can be worn like clothes, and some should be a piece of jewelry. A cumbersome waist chain. Once these jingling golden chains are hung on the body, the style will indeed change instantly.
In addition, Yang Yuyao's hairstyle has also been carefully combed by He Qianqing. After matching with a variety of hair accessories, Yang Yuyao looks luxurious but unattainable. Like the bright moon in the night sky, like the bright sun in the daytime, it can be seen but out of reach.
They did intend to intimidate the monarchs and ministers at this banquet, so that even the other party at the Hongmen Banquet would have to weigh it, but now it seems that they have gone too far?
In short, after spending some effort, the banquet was finally officially started.
