Bringing the farm to another world

The capital planet, October 15th, today is the annual Harvest Festival, this is a unique festival in the Star Empire. According to legend, it originated very early and has always been highly valued. Even now that we have entered the interstellar age, the harvest times of various planets have long been different, but October 15th is still the Harvest Festival. Many planets in the Star Empire celebrate this festival on this day, especially here on the capital planet, it is even more grand. The palace will hold a banquet on this day, and all officials will attend. Of course, several adult princes and princesses will also attend. In the Star Empire, princesses also have equal inheritance rights. Of course, there is only this saying. It is almost impossible for those princesses to inherit the throne. As long as there are princes, it is almost impossible for the princesses to inherit the throne, and those ministers will not allow it. But the princess's status in the Star Empire is still very high, and the princess must attend banquets like this, and Zuoqiu Zheng, as the prince, of course he has to attend.

Zuo Qiu Zheng was wearing the crown and robes of a crown prince today. His clothes were also in the color of the Ming Emperor. However, there were not five golden dragons on his clothes, but golden dragons on golden pumpkins. Also, the number of dragons was not nine, but five.

Before the banquet begins, Zuo Qiuwen will lead the civil and military officials to worship heaven and earth. What they worship here is not the gods, but heaven and earth. After worshiping, they will return to the hall. The seats in the hall have been arranged long ago. Then everyone will sit in the hall according to their seats. After everyone is seated, Zuo Qiuwen will look at everyone and say, "Let's start the banquet."

The eunuch immediately shouted loudly, "Let the banquet begin!" Following his voice, palace maids came in from both sides of the hall like butterflies flying through flowers, and began to place dishes on each table. They now adopted the separate seating system, with a small table in front of each person, on which dishes and wine would be placed. Everyone would sit there in the ancient kneeling position, drinking and eating. Of course, they were not really kneeling there, and although they were kneeling, it looked like they were kneeling, but in fact they had small stools.

In the Star Empire, there is a certain number of dishes for the Harvest Festival. Only four dishes can be served at the Harvest Festival, but there must be a lot of dishes, and there must also be a bowl of rice and a pot of wine. These are all necessary things for the Harvest Festival.

But of course there won't be only four dishes served now. Although there are also four plates of dishes here, these four plates are a bit big. Each plate is round and divided into eight small grids. There is a dish in each small grid. In other words, although there are four plates of dishes, there are actually thirty-two dishes. Moreover, the plate itself is very large, and there is a lot of food in each grid.

After the dishes were served, Zuo Qiuwen picked up the wine glass. The eunuch beside him immediately picked up a jade hammer and gently struck a jade bell beside him. With the sound of the jade bell, the hall suddenly became quiet. Zuo Qiuwen glanced at everyone and then said, "Today, our king and his subjects are here to celebrate the Harvest Festival. The Harvest Festival is an annual festival of our Star Empire. It is a festival to celebrate the harvest of our Star Empire. The harvest means that all citizens of our Star Empire have food to eat, can eat enough, and can eat well. Eating is the top priority for everyone. Although it seems that no one of us is hungry now, the issue of eating is still the top priority of the empire. I hope everyone will not forget this."

Everyone agreed, and Zuo Qiuwen continued, "The empire is strong, but we can't take it lightly. The six realms are watching us covetously. All of us must work hard, do our own things, and make the empire stronger. This is also the wish of all of us. If the empire is good, all of us will be better. A good harvest means that the empire will be better. Come, let's raise our glasses together to celebrate the Harvest Festival. Cheers." After saying that, Zuo Qiuwen drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then all the ministers said in unison: "Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to the empire, cheers!" Then they drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. And here, it means that the official project at the banquet is over. Next, everyone can eat freely. Although there are many rules in the Star Empire, there are actually not so many rules at the banquet. As long as Zuo Qiuwen finishes speaking, everyone can eat their own food. You can even take the wine glass and go to other people's tables to chat with each other while drinking. This situation is too common at banquets, and no one will find it strange.

Zuo Qiuzheng sat there, took a sip of wine, and slowly ate the food. At this moment, he saw the seventh prince Zuo Qiuyu stand up and walk towards him. Zuo Qiuzheng's eyes flashed, but he pretended not to see it. He put down his chopsticks, picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine, quietly waiting for the other party to arrive. He knew that the other party must have come for Tang Yifei's matter, and he was just waiting for the other party to come. He wanted to see what the other party wanted to say, and then he would continue.

Zuoqiu Yu walked up to Zuoqiu Zheng, bowed to him and said: "Brother, how about we have a drink together?" He looked very similar to Zuoqiu Zheng, but with a smile on his face, he looked very gentle. He and Zuoqiu Zheng seemed to be two completely different people. The outside world had a very high opinion of him, saying that he was a benevolent and righteous ruler, and many ministers looked upon him with favor.

Zuo Qiuzheng looked at Zuo Qiuyu and smiled slightly, then he stood up, raised his glass and said, "Seventh brother, we haven't had a drink together for a long time. Come on, let's have a drink." After that, he clinked glasses with Zuo Qiuyu and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. Zuo Qiuyu also drank the wine in the glass, and then the two of them showed their glasses and smiled slightly.

Zuo Qiuyu then said to Zuo Qiuzheng: "Brother, I heard that the formation master in your mansion was poisoned a while ago. I wonder if the murderer has been found? Someone in the East Palace was poisoned. This is not a trivial matter. We must take it seriously."

Zuo Qiuzheng smiled and said, "Yes, I have taken it very seriously and sealed the East Palace for a few days, but unfortunately, I have not found out who is behind it, so I can only let it go. However, I will not give up on this matter, and I will definitely continue to investigate. Sooner or later, I will find out who is behind it." Zuo Qiuzheng's face became solemn at the end, which made Zuo Qiuyu feel a chill in his heart. Then Zuo Qiuyu said, "I heard that there is a new formation master in the eldest brother's house? I wonder how strong this person is?"

Zuo Qiuzheng smiled and said, "It's okay. We can only use it as a makeshift. After all, it's not easy to find a suitable formation master. You know, it's not easy to find someone who is proficient in formations in the empire."

Zuo Qiuyu nodded, then he looked at Zuo Qiuzheng and said, "I also have two formation masters in my house, do you want to give one to Big Brother?"

Zuo Qiu Zheng smiled and said, "That's not necessary. The formation masters in my house are enough. We don't need too many people. Seventh brother, you should keep the formation master for yourself." Zuo Qiu Zheng knew very well that he would never agree to such a thing, so he could only say this.

Zuo Qiuyu smiled and said: "Brother, didn't you say that the formation master in your house can only be used as a makeshift? Then why are you rejecting me now? If you are worried, then let's let them compete. What do you think, brother?" After saying that, Zuo Qiuyu looked at Zuo Qiuzheng. When Zuo Qiuzheng heard what Zuo Qiuyu said, he was stunned. He immediately understood that this process was Zuo Qiuyu's purpose.

Of course he couldn't retreat at this time. If he gave in at this time, where would his dignity as the crown prince be? So Zuoqiu Zheng smiled and said, "Okay, I wonder how seventh brother would like to compete?" When Zuoqiu Zheng said this, he looked at Zuoqiu Yu fixedly. He really wanted to hear how Zuoqiu Yu would compete. He was very curious about what Zuoqiu Yu's ultimate goal was.

Zuo Qiuyu smiled and said: "However, let's ask our father to be a witness, and we will have a competition together. How about the place where we compete is the Jiulong Tower?" When Zuo Qiuyu said this, he looked at Zuo Qiuzheng fixedly.

Zuoqiu Zhengyi frowned. The Jiulong Tower is a protected cultural relic on the capital planet. It is an ancient brick and stone tower with a total of nine floors. It has a history of thousands of years and has been repaired over the years. It is a key protected cultural relic. The tower has nine floors, and the area of ​​each floor is not very large, but the appearance of the tower is very beautiful. Each floor is exquisitely designed, and the reliefs are also very beautiful. And there is a reason why it is called Long Tower. That is, when it rains, water flows down from the tower, and the tower will make bursts of very pleasant sounds, and when it is windy, the tower body will make another pleasant sound. It is precisely because of this feature that it is called Jiulong Tower, which means Nine Turns of Exquisite. It is a rare cultural relic.

Normally, no one is allowed to go up to the Jiulong Tower, but now Zuo Qiuyu wants to have a competition in the Jiulong Tower. Zuo Qiuzheng couldn't help but be a little surprised, but he immediately shook his head and said, "No, the Jiulong Tower is a cultural relic. If it is damaged because of the competition, we will all be sinners. Let's go to another place." Zuo Qiuzheng is not afraid of the competition, but he absolutely disagrees to hold a competition in the Jiulong Tower. He will not allow himself to damage a cultural relic like the Jiulong Tower. After all, he will become an emperor in the future, and these things are all things of the empire. He cannot allow them to be damaged in any way.

At this time, Zuo Qiuwen also saw the two brothers talking, and he said, "Prince, Yu'er, what are you talking about?"

As soon as he spoke, everyone in the hall fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Zuoqiuzheng and Zuoqiuyu. Zuoqiuzheng bowed to Zuoqiuwen and said, "Father, it's like this. My seventh brother heard that the formation master in my house had an accident recently, so I found another formation master. He was worried that my formation master was not strong enough, so he wanted to give me one of his formation masters. Of course, I couldn't take someone else's love away, so I refused. However, my seventh brother was really worried about the new formation master in my house, so he directly proposed to have the formation master in his house compete with the formation master in my house. I agreed, but my seventh brother said that he wanted the formation master to compete in the Jiulong Tower. I didn't agree. The Jiulong Tower is a cultural relic and cannot be damaged in the slightest. So we are now discussing where to hold the competition." (End of this chapter)
