There is a fake demigod in the East Palace

After Rong Zheng came back, Ye Zhaoling did not mention to him what happened in the hall just now.As soon as the time passed, all the invited guests arrived, and the queen also ascended the throne to the sound of drums.

The prince's status is precious, and there are not many clan members in the royal family who can afford his big gift.So in just one morning, the audience ceremony was successfully completed.

Lunch is arranged in the side hall, and the clan members stay in the palace for a short rest in the afternoon, waiting to attend the congratulatory speech ceremony presided over by the national teacher in the afternoon.

There has been a rule in the Dasheng Dynasty since ancient times. Whenever there are important events in the country, the national teacher of the dynasty must be invited to predict good or bad.In order to win a good fortune, the royal family called this ceremony the best wishes.

However, with the development of science and the progress of society, congratulations no longer have the original function, but this ceremony is still preserved as a blessing and prayer for the future of the country.

For the royal family, showing their lives to the public is also part of the work, and such a big event as marriage is the focus of work.Therefore, whether it is the audience ceremony in the morning or the congratulatory speech in the afternoon, the media area is delineated in the hall, and the online and offline simultaneous live broadcast will be carried out throughout the whole process.

Just after noon, the site was ready.But before the ceremony started, there was a sudden news that the national teacher could not come to Yaoqing Palace in person for some reason.

Although this move caused dissatisfaction among many clans, there was nothing they could do. No one could change the decision of the national teacher.Zhong Yu did not show up, and a young master of ceremonies appeared on his behalf.

The master of ceremonies is only 22 or three years old, with a youthful appearance who just graduated from university.The young man was kicked out of the shelves not long after his internship period, and he bravely boarded the altar.

After the ceremony began, Rong Zheng and Ye Zhaoling knelt side by side under a golden plaque with no characters. The master of ceremonies held a pure gold singing bowl in his hand and stood on the altar to chant speeches.

What the master of ceremonies said was the eulogy of prayer, but few people could understand what he said specifically.But no one pays attention to this detail right now. Whether it is the clan watching the ceremony on the spot or the public watching the live broadcast, everyone's eyes are firmly locked on the singing bowl in the hands of the master of ceremonies.

The singing bowl contained the words of congratulations from the national teacher to the two newcomers. Although everyone knew that the congratulations were just a symbolic ceremony, and the national teacher would not reveal any shocking secrets on such an occasion, he still felt uncomfortable. hide expectations.Every time the congratulatory speech given by the national teacher will become the current hot news, triggering a series of analysis and discussion.

Finally, a long chanting of promises sounded, and the prayer ended.At the same time, several small golden tubes rolled out of the holes at the bottom of the singing bowl almost simultaneously.

There are no more and no less, exactly three gold cylinders, each containing a scroll.

The master of ceremonies presented the golden tube in front of the prince with a huanghuali tray, Rong Zheng seemed to be cautious but casually pointed and chose the one in the middle.

The master of ceremonies opened the golden tube selected by the prince in public, pulled out the scroll, and read out the words on it aloud: "The virtue is flawless, and the jade is pure and beautiful."

After the master of ceremonies read the congratulatory speech, he put away the golden tube and handed it to the master of ceremonies without interpreting it.These short eight words are easy to understand, and you can tell at a glance that they are good words, and they are probably praising Rong Zheng's noble character and outstanding talent.According to Donggong's usual style of conduct, before the end of today's ceremony, Donggong will publish an analysis article, expanding these eight characters into an [-]-character long essay praising the prince.

The master of ceremonies presented the golden tube to the prince again. The prince put away the golden tube and bowed to the golden plaque as a big gift.In this way, the prince's congratulatory speech has been set.Next, the same process will be repeated on Ye Zhaoling.

Everything went smoothly at the beginning, but when the master of ceremonies opened the golden tube selected by Ye Zhaoling, the situation changed a bit.

The master of ceremonies stared at the words on the scroll, his face turned blue and then pale, his lips trembled up and down, and he didn't dare to read out for a long time.

Some unruly Second Generation Ancestor in the auditorium urged impatiently: "Read it? Why don't you read it?"

The master of ceremonies glanced at Ye Zhaoling, hesitated for a moment, but still didn't dare to speak.

"What's the matter?" Ye Zhaoling sensed the situation was different and asked, from his perspective, he could see the master of ceremonies' hands trembling slightly.

The master of ceremonies obviously panicked and forgot the rules of his ancestors.He tilted the scroll in his hand at an angle so that Ye Zhaoling could see the words on the paper.

The scroll is made of precious white sandalwood. The paper surface is bright white with a hint of gleam. On the paper sprinkled with gold powder, there are eight large characters written "Follow the waves to the holy place, and feast at night."

This sentence borrows water and time and night as the intention, but the meaning is actually very simple.The translation in the vernacular is "a grass chicken turns into a phoenix".

Taking these two sentences as Ye Zhaoling's congratulations, it is clear that he has a low status and clings to the powerful, and the meaning of humiliation and ridicule is very obvious.

Ye Zhaoling could see the words in the golden tube clearly, so Rong Zheng could also see it.The prince was used to seeing intrigues in the palace, and immediately realized that someone was obstructing it.

To embarrass Ye Zhaoling is to slap Donggong in the face, and Rong Zheng can't sit idly by.He turned his head to look at Yan Tian in the crowd, signaled with his eyes that there was an accident on the field, and immediately tried to interrupt the live broadcast.

The master of ceremonies did not dare to announce the speech for a long time, which caused a commotion in the auditorium.He just joined the job last year and lacked experience. Today, he was temporarily arranged to preside over the ceremony. He did not expect to encounter such a big accident.

When he opened the scroll for the first time, the live camera had already captured the first few words of the speech.If he recited the congratulations truthfully, the consequences would be disastrous.At that time, not only the reputation of Jingnan Hou and the royal family will be damaged, but he himself will be charged with a major mistake in work.

Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out from the master of ceremonies' dress, and his head was almost blank.

Now everyone's eyes were on him—the master of ceremonies swallowed, and a drop of sweat the size of a bean slid from the corner of his forehead.He didn't dare to make a claim on what to do next.

Yan Tian received Rong Zheng's signal and quietly withdrew from the crowd.He was about to find an excuse to interrupt the live broadcast when Ye Zhaoling's voice came from the center of the hall.

Ye Zhaoling raised his head and said to the master of ceremonies: "Since it is a congratulatory speech for me, can I read it myself?"

The head of the master of ceremonies was already in a mess, he nodded dully, and handed the golden tube to the master of ceremonies and presented it to Ye Zhaoling.

Ye Zhaoling opened the golden tube with a calm demeanor. Seeing this, Rong Zheng quietly turned his body to the side, blocking the view of the camera and most people on the scene.

Ye Zhaoling took out the scroll from the tube, and as soon as he opened it, he read aloud without hesitation: "Follow the waves to become holy, and the feast will come every night."

As soon as Ye Zhaoling finished speaking, there was an uproar in the hall, and even the empress on the seat changed her expression.The media area exploded all of a sudden, and the shutters of the cameras scrambled to sound.

With the words of congratulations from the national teacher, the prince's marriage will become the biggest joke in recent years.

"Oh? It turns out that there is another sentence later." Ye Zhaoling continued to extend the scroll in his hand, as if he had just realized that he hadn't read it completely, and read: "Follow the waves into the holy water and take a boat, and the night falls and the phoenix dances Late."

After reading, he put away the scroll in his hand, looked up at the master of ceremonies, and asked very sincerely: "Sounds good, but I have little knowledge, dare to ask the master of ceremonies, what can I do?"

The master of ceremonies, although inexperienced, was also an astute person.In this short period of time, he has recovered from the panic just now.

The moment he met Ye Zhaoling's eyes, he understood Jingnanhou's intentions.Maybe Ye Zhaoling took the lead, and he calmed down a lot.

The master of ceremonies nodded, and explained in conjunction with the two sentences Ye Zhaoling had just given: "The meaning of these words is that the Marquis of Jingnan and the prince are destined by heaven, and you will be the exchange between the royal family and the people. Your Majesty and everyone's hearts will be more closely linked together." The master of ceremonies paused, and continued to make up nonsense: "Your Majesty was born in the common people and is the representative of thousands of our citizens. The royal family will be honored because of your joining. become better."

As soon as the master of ceremonies finished speaking, Prince Rui in the auditorium clapped his hands with tears in his eyes, and the other clansmen clapped along in confusion when they saw this.

"There is such a good moral, I will definitely live up to my mission." Ye Zhaoling received the golden tube in his arms, imitated Rong Zheng's appearance and made a big gift, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Master Guoshi."
