Chapter 30 Family Banquet

The Winter Moon Hall is located in the imperial garden, and the scale is not large.

When Liu Xia entered, there were already many people in the hall.

For example, the prince, the second prince, the third prince, the fourth prince.

At this moment, there are more than 20 small tables for one person in the Winter Moon Hall.

The princes and the emperors sit on the right side, and the other side is the seat of the concubine in the harem.

In the middle of the head, it is the golden dragon chair, which is the seat of the queen and the emperor.

"See you, Your Highness."

Liu Xia saluted immediately.

"Oh? Prince Weiyuan, please get up quickly.

The first to speak is the prince.

The prince still had a warm smile like a spring breeze, and hurriedly helped Liu Xia up and said.

"Hao Xuan, I also went to your mansion to find you, but you are not here. Later, I heard that you had been thought behind closed doors. You are not timid.

The second prince came over and patted Liu Xia on the shoulder and said, looking very kind.

As for the third prince and the fourth prince, they obviously disdain Liu Xia.

Especially the third prince, he also stared up at Liu Xia.

This puzzled Liu Xia, and she didn't offend him after thinking about it. Is she jealous that I'm more handsome than you?

So, Liu Xia was rude and stared at him.

The third prince was stunned and turned his head disdainfully.

As for the fourth prince, he didn't look at Liu Xia at all, with a little impatience on his face.

"Oh, stop talking. I can't go out now. I'm really crazy these days."

Liu Xia said with a smile.

"I will plead with you when my father is happy. Dragons are so funny. What's the point of staying in the house every day?

The second prince said easy-goingly.

"Thank you, second prince."

Liu Xia said with a fist.

"You and my brother, you're welcome."

The second prince said happily.

On the contrary, the prince stood on one side and stopped talking.

Still with his warm smile.

This kind of smile makes people feel very raw, as if it deliberately keeps a distance from you, which is like a kind of self-protection.

As a crown prince, he must be under a lot of pressure.

"The Holy Sage is here."

At this time, I suddenly heard Mr. Chen shouting.

The emperor took the queen and the seven concubines into the hall.

Liu Xia and a group of princes hurriedly baptized.

Today, the emperor seemed to be in a particularly good mood. He waved his hand with a smile on his face and said, "All my life."

Immediately, everyone began to sit down.

Liu Xia sat in the hands of the fourth prince and looked up at the emperor's concubines.

The queen sitting next to the emperor also looks very young, about in her early 40s. She is beautiful and dignified, with a faint smile on her face. However, a pair of Danfeng eyes are not angry and arrogant, and there is a little momentum in the world.

is the biological mother of the prince.

Among the concubines on the opposite side, the fat swallows are thin. They can't be said to be the national colors of heaven, and they all have their own characteristics. Sure enough, being the emperor is boundless.

However, the youngest imperial concubine, who is in her thirties, should be the biological mother of the fourth prince.

The harem of the Tianji Dynasty is divided into queens, imperial concubines, noble concubines, concubines, and so on.

Only those who give birth to a prince or princess for the emperor are eligible to become an imperial concubine.

So, there are only five imperial concubines in total.

Presumably, the emperor also has a princess.

It's just that Liu Xia has never seen it.

"Princess Chang'an Road."

Outside the door, the eunuch gave a voice.

At this time, Princess Changping entered the hall.

When she entered the hall, the golden hall lost its color in an instant.

The eldest princess who came in is wearing your ochre princess robe, wearing the crown of nine phoenixes, noble and elegant.

She immediately saluted the emperor and many concubines, and many concubines immediately got up and returned the salute to him.

However, when she appeared, the women in the whole hall lost their luster.

"Sit down."

The emperor waved his hand and said.

After the eldest princess sat down, the emperor smiled faintly and said, "Haoxuan has been coming to Longdu for a while. I have always wanted to wash the dust for him, but because of the pirates in southern Xinjiang, I can't be free. In recent days, I have been very happy with the great victory in southern Xinjiang. Haoxuan, you are indeed my lucky general. As soon as you come, the southern border will be calmed down. You can have a few more drinks today.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is wise and martial, and the little sea bandits are not worth mentioning."

Liu Xia hurriedly got up and said.

"Congratulations to my father and king. May my Tianji Dynasty be peaceful and enjoy forever."

At this moment, the prince also got up in a hurry, raised his glass and said.

"I would also like to congratulate my father."

Immediately, all the princes got up.

"Okay, that's good. It's rare for you to have a heart. Sit down."

Immediately, after a few glasses of wine, there was a song and dance to cheer up, and the concubines in the harem frequently toasted the emperor.

The atmosphere is also very lively, but it makes Liu Xia feel that there seems to be something missing.

I saw Yunzong before. Every time during the Spring Festival, the parents of those sects went up the mountain to visit, looked at their families, and sat there talking and laughing. The father and mother loved each other, which was very warm.

However, here, although everyone looks very happy, they feel that there is something between everyone.

They are very polite to each other. Is it like a family?

Sure enough, this imperial family can't be compared with ordinary people.

Liu Xia sat there, and the prince and the second prince toasted one after another. Although the fourth prince disdained it, he also raised a toast.

On the contrary, the third prince turned a deaf ear to Liu Xia.

Halfway through the banquet, the fourth prince asked coldly, "Third brother, I heard that you have got a master recently. Is it true?"

"Who are you talking about?"

"Of course, it's the swordsman from Dongji Island. I heard that his swordsmanship is amazing, which is not the same as our Central Plains martial arts."

"Oh, you mean Park Yunfei?"

"Yes, yes, yes, his surname is very strange, so I can't remember it."

"His swordsmanship is really amazing. Those masters before my palace are no match for him. I think I'm sure I'll win this year's autumn.

The third prince said proudly.

"That's not necessarily true. You haven't heard that masters like the Duke of Protector have been beaten by Prince Weiyuan and vomited blood. With him, you can't win.

The fourth prince said.

"Well, the three-legged cat's kung fu is not worth mentioning."

The third prince said disdainfully.

"Third brother, just brag. If you have the ability, can you let them play against each other? Otherwise, what you said now is all nonsense.

The fourth prince said disdainfully.

Liu Xia couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this.

This fourth prince is really not a fuel-efficient lamp.

The third prince was obviously hit by his provocation. At this moment, he was looking at Liu Xia with a provocative face.

"Father, today's palace banquet, singing and dancing are leveling. However, my children and ministers can't forget the ancestral religion, protecting the country with martial arts and governing the country with etiquette. I heard that Prince Weiyuan's skills are unparalleled in the world. My son and minister happened to have a very powerful swordsman recently. Please ask my father to allow them to compete, so that my son can open my eyes. Second, it is just right to help my father.

The third prince immediately got up and said to the emperor.

Suddenly, there was silence in the hall.

The second prince was stunned, and the prince was expressionless.

It was the fourth prince's gloating face.

The folk customs of the Tianji Dynasty are fierce, and everyone likes the natural martial arts competition very much.

The emperor took a look at Liu Xia and asked faintly, "Hao Xuan, can you fight?"

"Your Majesty, I am not good at learning, and I ask myself that I am not the swordsman's opponent. I don't think there is a need to compare.

Liu Xia got up and laughed.

In the emperor's eyes, he was quite approving.

"Prince Weiyuan, you admit defeat before you fight. What does this mean? Do you think I don't deserve to fight with you?"

The third prince said unrelentingly.

At this time, the prince also stood up and said, "Father, I heard that the swordsman of Dongji Island is very arrogant. After coming to Longdu, he set up a ring in Dongcheng. A hundred battles and I was defeated. It is often said that no one in the Central Plains is his opponent. You can see how domineering it is. I thought it would be better to let Prince Weiyuan compete with him. If we win and strengthen our country's prestige, we will lose, so that we can see the parents.

"Father, I also want to see the cultivation of Prince Weiyuan very much. However, if Prince Weiyuan wins, I beg my father to forgive him and don't let him think about it behind closed doors.

The second prince also got up and said at this moment.

Liu Xia stood there and said angrily, "Grandma, there are not many people watching the bustle. Is there anyone who has fallen into the well like this?"

The emperor took a deep breath and said, "The barbarian land is indeed a little arrogant. Haoxuan, you just compete with him. If you win, I will forgive your sins and give you the gold medal. However, if you lose, the punishment will be doubled.

When several princes heard this, they looked at Liu Xia one after another.

The gold medal in front of the palace is the forbidden military token of the palace, which can enter and exit the palace anytime and anywhere. This is a great honor and great trust.

Liu Xia has been worried about being banned recently. Hearing this, she hugged her fist and said, "Then Weichen, give it a try."

"Okay, Chen Mo, play in the martial arts arena. I'd like to see what the climate is when I haven't seen Wu Xiu on Dongji Island over the years.

The emperor immediately got up and laughed.

Then, everyone went to the martial arts arena on the northwest side of the palace, which is very flat and covers a large area.

After all, the Taiji Dynasty was the establishment of martial arts, and all emperors have attached great importance to cultivation.

This martial arts arena is the top ten competition places during martial arts.

The ground of the whole martial arts arena is paved with special materials and equipped with protection, which is very strong.

There is seal protection all around. Liu Xia has only heard of this place before and has been there in the future.

The people who can show their skills here are all masters of martial arts.

Almost entering here, you can seek a position in the Dragon Soul Continent.

Many sect disciples in the world want to come here to have a try, that is, Liu Xia. When he saw Yunzong before, he also dreamed of coming here to show his skills, becoming famous in the first battle and alarming the world.

In less than half a column of incense, everyone arrived.

The emperor, the concubines and the princes all sat in the distant stands. In front of the stands, there was a seal protection, so they were not afraid of being affected at all.

At this moment, Liu Xia, standing in the middle of the martial arts arena, looked at the princes and couldn't help smiling bitterly.

"Fourth prince, when I catch the opportunity, I can't let you eat it."

Liu Xia thought silently in her heart.

However, the prince's means are even better.

An understatement made the emperor change his mind. This person should not be underestimated.

This third prince, compared with his brother, is much more cute, rectum and one-bred. For this kind of person, Liu Xia has an inexplicable good impression.

Although I saw it from the beginning, the nose is not the nose and the eyes are not the eyes.

At this time, the third prince took a middle-aged man to the martial arts arena.

This middle-aged man wears it, which is obviously not the Central Plains clothing.

Outside the sea border of the Dragon Soul Continent, there are also several continents. I heard that the customs there are very different from those in the Central Plains.

The closest to the Dragon Soul Continent is Dongji Island.

I heard that the conditions there are harsh, and volcanoes often erupt, but it is a place rich in production.

Now, Liu Xia is looking forward to it. She wants to see the martial arts of the East Pole Island, which is different from the Central Plains.
