The weather suddenly got hotter, and Xia Danfeng was extremely annoyed that she could no longer wear her white fox fur cloak.
Qingyu seemed to finally realize that the pheasant feathers on her head were a bit out of place, so Liao Yilan put on an exquisite narrow-sleeved coat in advance. , Miss Fang San is as low-key as ever.
Dou Bao will arrive as scheduled.
Xia Xiaodong gave up the idea of ugly makeup.
Since he was going to cause trouble, he had to look like a troublemaker.
It felt good to let this beautiful flower bloom.
The natural nude makeup effect was quite good.
Xia Xiaodong took out the newly purchased mercury mirror and admired it with ease.
Grab the black robe and set off to bring trouble to Zhou Jianhong.
The twenty beauties all dressed up beautifully and entered the palace early in the morning, although they were actually having a luncheon.
When they arrived at the palace gate, Xia Xiaodong discovered that it was actually not early at all.
Not only was it not early, it was almost a little late and there was still a queue.
There were an unusually large number of people waiting to enter the palace, and the beauty didn't get any preferential treatment.
It took almost an hour just to get in.
The main reason is that the search process is cumbersome and time-consuming.
Miyagi is huge.
None of us had any status, and of course we didn’t have the privilege of being crowded around in cars and chariots.
We were just preceded by a few eunuchs to guide us, and behind us were some palace maids holding strange things.
We took them wherever we went.
Use two feet to measure.
After walking through several long corridors, avoiding the ceremonial guards of nobles several times, passing through the budding imperial garden, and finally arriving at the dining place, Xia Xiaodong raised his head and looked at the sky.
Well, no wonder his stomach Cooing, sure enough noon is coming.
The place where Emperor Qi gave the banquet was quite large, and there was a separate place for everyone in the spacious hall.
Palace banquets and ancient rituals are respected.
Each person's position is actually a thin rattan mat two feet square.
There is a brocade mat spread in the center of the rattan mat, and a low table is placed on the mat.
Behind the low table is a square kneeling cushion.
Yes, everyone eats while kneeling on the mat.
The emperor has not come yet, and it seems that he may not come anytime soon.
But everyone was sitting on their knees behind the table, looking down at the bare table.
The food and drink haven't been served yet.
No one whispered to anyone.
As for one, everyone is several feet away, so talking is really a technical job.
Furthermore, there were so many female officials presiding over the ceremony around, and almost every one of them had a pestle behind their backs.
How could they have the nerve to behave inappropriately in public?
At this time, we can see the importance of bamboo sticks.
The queues that marched before and the seats now are arranged according to the number of bamboo sticks.
Although some were given to Fourth Miss Qin, Xia Xiaodong still ranked second, second only to Xia Danfeng.
But now the first and second two are in the first row, separated to the left and right.
Because the left is respected and the position on the left is slightly higher, Xia Danfeng sits first in the left column, while Xia Xiaodong is first in the right column.
From Xia Xiaodong's point of view, there was no difference at all.
They were all the same distance from the throne anyway.
After sitting there for a while, someone started to make some uneasy movements.
I can't help it, my legs are numb.
This Xia Xiaodong does have a solution.

The posture of kneeling seems to be the same, that is, kneeling on the ground and sitting back.
But in fact, under the cover of the skirt, there can still be slight changes.
For example, you can put your feet up and sit on your heels, or you can spread your feet and sit between the soles of your feet, or you can even spread your calves slightly apart.
The most important thing is to be aware in advance of the problems that kneeling and sitting may cause and be prepared.
Xia Xiaodong shifted his focus slightly to his left leg at the beginning, and then shifted his weight slightly to his right leg after a while.
In conjunction with the fine adjustments of the posture of his calves and feet, he would not have any numbness in his legs within an hour or two.
This might also be some kind of test.
Xia Danfeng almost glared at Xia Xiaodong who was motionless across from her.
In order to compete with Xia Xiaodong, she remained calm and still.
She felt like a mute eating coptis, so she could only enjoy it by herself.
After more than half an hour, the sound of the emperor's arrival was finally heard in the distance.
The noble Emperor Qi finally took his seat, accompanied by the eunuch's distinctive shrill voice.
To be enthroned is not to sit down, but to stand before the throne.
As an emperor, wouldn’t it be satisfying if you didn’t have the wonderful feeling of overlooking your subjects from time to time?
The etiquette of the visit was quite complicated, but everyone felt a sense of relief.
At least they no longer had to sit there kneeling and could move around.
Xia Danfeng had been holding on and refused to move before, but this time she was at a disadvantage.
She was stiff in her first few movements and almost fell down.
If he really fell, it would be an outright disgrace.
Xia Xiaodong took advantage of the break to salute and took a closer look at Emperor Hong above.
He is indeed a rare handsome man.
If a man is associated with beauty, he will inevitably give people the illusion of being a bit effeminate.
Xia Xiaodong's previous feelings towards Zhou Jianhong were probably the same.
But meeting a real person is completely different.
The impression Zhou Jianhong left on Xia Xiaodong could only be described in four words.
A gentleman is like jade.
The posture of this man standing there, if made into a wax figure, would last forever as a representative of a generation of emperors.
No matter the facial features, skin, expression, and behavior, they are all perfect, with a certain grace that seems to be innate, making people feel like spring breeze.
Xia Xiaodong gathered his attention and secretly observed the girls around him, clearly seeing the enthusiasm and intoxication.
Xia Danfeng almost fainted, her lips moved slightly, as if she was chanting words similar to Brother Hong.
I guess Zhou Jianhong was also very good when he was a child, so he is still remembered by his classmates from Bei Xia.
The emperor arrived, but the food did not arrive.
Before lunch, treasures must be offered first.
Xia Xiaodong really wanted to say hello to the person who ordered this program.
You must have never been hungry.
Besides, even if you don't consider ordinary people, you should also consider the emperor's belly.
Wouldn't it be more appropriate to eat before studying the gift?
Just offer it.
If you are hungry for one or two meals, you have the right to lose weight.
The treasure fighting part is really a bit like fighting.
The first step is for everyone to introduce the gifts they have brought, which is to let the royal ladies boast about their own melons first.
Then if the emperor finds the one he likes most at once, things will be simple, and he can immediately enter the final stage of wish fulfillment.
But generally speaking, the emperor's vision is not as high as usual, and everyone's gifts are not as good as usual.
It is not easy to distinguish the superiority at once.
In this way, one has to further boast one's own melons and step on others' melons.
