The champion is my son

Chapter 408
"Here we come, Mrs. Li is here."

"Miss Li, come and sit down."

As soon as Li Qing appeared, a group of housewives were about to surround him like a pot had exploded.Fortunately, the real scene blocked their pace.

It took Li Qing a few months to go from being scorned to being the most popular.The few things she did made the faces of these housewives swollen and swollen, and they could only feel ashamed in the end.

The queen and other high-ranking ones have not yet arrived, and now there are only a bunch of imperial wives here.

"My mother-in-law and the others are all at the queen's place right now, they won't arrive until later, let's take a seat and wait." Huanshi said softly.

Li Qing nodded, and the two sat in their respective seats.Even a girl like Shangguan Momo, who is so unrestrained, now sits neatly beside her mother, so it can be said that she has been well-bred.

The palace banquet rules are surprisingly strict, everything is done according to specific rules, there is a gap between Li Qing and Huan Shi, so their positions are not arranged together.But this time Li Qing's position is no longer in the corner like the previous Huaxi Banquet.On the contrary, this position is quite conspicuous.

After a while, the empress sat down with a group of important wives, as did the officials at the main hall.Sitting beside her mother, Gu Jiuqing flirted with Shangguan Momo, and she looked at Li Qing with a soft face, and couldn't help but think of Yun Ji's silly face.It's a pity that she is restrained by etiquette now, and she can't pursue it as purely as before.

Different from the peace and tranquility on the side of the woman, the side of the main hall seemed to be full of sparks because of the presence of a few northern barbarians.

Beiman is a country on horseback. Since the name is called Beiman, it must have something to do with its appearance.Most of them are rough, with darker facial features, tan complexion, and different sitting and standing postures from Tianqi people.

There is a process.

The first is the Xuan ceremony, which is the birthday celebration. This item is led by Lu Guogong, the Minister of Consolidation with a high rank in the court.All civil and military officials, including the concubine in the back house, congratulated the emperor on his birthday, and Li Qing naturally received the birthday speech.

Li Qing calmly got up and saluted, and then said the words "Longevity is boundless".

Then Gou Yin, the great servant, announced the start of the banquet, followed by music and singing.

"Your Majesty, today is the birthday banquet of His Majesty Tianqi, we should toast together in the inner house to congratulate His Majesty on his birthday." Concubine Jin said to the Queen holding the wine glass.

"What the imperial concubine said is reasonable." The maid beside the queen immediately filled up the wine for the queen.Another attendant came out from behind the gauze tent and whispered in Emperor Qiguan's ear. Qiguan knew that the empress's wife was toasting, so he stopped his chopsticks and made everyone in the main hall quiet.

"I wish Your Majesty a long life in Nanshan, and great blessings!" After the queen finished speaking, all the wives followed suit, and then the emperor picked up the wine glass and stood up to drink with the wives in the gauze tent.

So far, the main hall and the side hall have become two worlds.

Yunji was just a supervisor of the Imperial College, he was assigned to the corner where the main hall and side hall met, and there were several supervisors with him, most of them were twice the age of Yunji.

After all the courtiers finished their compliments, Gou Yin started today's topic:
"A gift from the Northern Barbarians!"

Apart from war horses, what other good things can the northern barbarians have?Food cannot be grown, but cattle and sheep can grow, but compared with Tianqi's many lands of fish and rice, it is also inferior.

Almost all the ministers were eagerly anticipating what the Beiman would send to celebrate His Majesty Tianqi's birthday?
I saw three men from the northern barbarians walking in a triangular position to the head of Qi Guan, and the leader Qi Guan saluted.

The man looked rough, but in his roughness he could see the heroic figure of a prairie man, and secretly there was a kind of arrogance in his roughness.

"Your Majesty Tianqi, my Majesty Beiman heard about His Majesty Tianqi's birthday, so he sent our Beiman envoys to visit early, for fear of missing it. For so many years, Tianqi has sacrificed to Beiman, and Beiman is very grateful. Today, I also I hope His Majesty Tianqi will accept this little favor for Tianqi." After the Beiman man finished speaking, he immediately signaled his subordinates to open the box in his hand.

The box is made of wood, and the shape is carved with a prairie atmosphere.

Everyone was looking forward to the Northern Barbarian Gift, but they didn't expect that when it was opened, they found that the contents inside were nothing special.

"What kind of gift is this? It's just two broken stones."

"That's right, that's right, we used broken stones to prevaricate our Tianqi. The northern barbarians are indeed barbarians, and they don't understand a little bit of Chinese etiquette."

"That's right."

As soon as the presents came out, everyone whispered, and the sound of playing music could hardly cover it up.

"Ahem!" Qi Guan gave a symbolic cough twice, suppressed the disgust in his eyes, and asked angrily, "What do you mean?"

"Hui Tianqi Your Majesty, these two stones are the fairy stones from the sky a few months ago. They are gifts from the gods to us Beiman. I still remember that day when there were lightning and thunder, dust was flying, cows and horses panicked, and a miracle suddenly fell from heaven. Falling fairy stones, these two pieces are small fairy stones that fell together with the fairy stones. My Majesty Beiman is grateful for the kindness of His Majesty Tianqi, and the special minister sent the fairy stones to pray for the blessings of the gods to His Majesty Tianqi. I wish His Majesty Tianqi his birthday and wish you Live a few more years."

The Beiman man did not forget to salute after he finished speaking, but the provocation between his brows and eyes was naked, as if he was about to run out and shake his face.

This subtext is too obvious: You Tianqi boasted that you are the same as Tianqi, but the gods did not even send such a good thing, so what are you talking about?Goodbye early.

"What kind of expression is this? It's clearly disdain."

"That's right, this northern barbarian is really too arrogant, I didn't see his face when he spoke!"

"It's not bullying that we don't have this stone, or it's because the gods didn't give us a few."

……

"Oh? Since it was given to you Beiman by the gods, then it is not my god from Tianqi. You Beiman believe in a majestic eagle that soars in the sky, while the god we believe in in Tianqi is the real emperor of heaven. This thing If it comes to Tianqi, it must be a symbol of a catastrophe, so I understand the gift from the Emperor of the Northern Man, but I dare not take this thing, you should take it back."

Qi Guan rubbed his temples, and looked at the northern barbarians below with a mocking attitude.

Little boy, fight with him?If you want to win, there is no way.This little trick of giving gifts had already been experienced by him as early as when he was the prince.The northern barbarian didn't expect the emperor to come with him in this way, but it didn't affect what he was going to do next in the slightest.

"Your Majesty Tianqi, this stone is really a fairy stone. It is not a symbol of disaster, but represents infinite possibilities, such as strengthening the body and rejuvenating people. It is enough to prove that these two stones are supreme. price."

The northern man spared no effort to praise the two black stones, which also made Li Qing very interested in them.
