Chapter 63 Gift Ceremony
"Xuan, the envoy from the Beidi Empire is presenting a gift!" the eunuch shouted loudly.
A tall and thin man from Beidi came out of the procession and said with cupped hands: "Thank you, Your Majesty! I, Beidi, present a pair of emerald peaches this time. I wish my emperor may live longer than Nanshan and be as blessed as the East China Sea!"
A pair of cute boys and girls dressed in Beidi costumes, each holding a plate, stepped forward.
When everyone took a look, they saw a sphere as big as a human head on the plate, covered with red silk cloth.
When they came to the gift platform in front of the hall, they put it down solemnly. They gently opened the silk cloth, revealing the fairy peach inside.
Wow!
There was an uncontrollable cry from the entire audience.
I saw that each of the pair of fairy peaches was carved from a complete piece of jade. The jade was moist and green, with a layer of hazy light.
"This pair of jade peaches is obtained from the top-quality jadeite from Tianpan Mountain in Beidi. It was carved by Yu Chengzi, a famous jade carving master in my country. This top-quality jadeite is many times better than the top-quality black stone, and such a large complete jadeite is also It is rare to see for thousands of years and extremely precious!" the Beidi envoy proudly introduced.
"Okay! It's really rare! Big reward!" The Holy Emperor was very excited and said with great joy.
"Heavy reward!" the eunuch announced loudly.
Someone immediately outside the hall brought out a large gift list and sent it to the Beidi envoy.
The envoy took the gift list and was overjoyed when he saw it. He quickly kowtowed in gratitude and left.
…
"Xuan, the envoy from the Xirong Empire presents a gift!" the eunuch preached loudly.
A tall man with a beard came out and bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty! I, Xirong, present a gold and gem belt this time to wish my emperor eternal youth and endless life!"
A beautiful woman from Xirong, holding a long plate in both hands, stepped forward.
Put it on the stage and gently remove the silk covering it. Suddenly, a piece of jewelery jets out, making the faces of the people around them shine.
Wow!
I saw that this belt was studded with densely packed gold inlays and various gemstones. The colorful gemstones were round and huge, with amazing treasures. Each one was priceless!
"This gold and gemstone belt is made of the sinews and bones of a dragon. It is studded with ninety-nine priceless gemstones and ten pounds of gold and platinum pieces. It was all handmade by our master craftsman from Xirong. It cost a total of one hundred dollars. The genius finally completed it! What's even more incredible is that this belt also has a built-in space of one hundred cubic meters, which can store countless items. Its value is immeasurable!" The Xirong envoy introduced proudly.
sky!
Everyone gasped!
Not to mention the gold and jewelry, the fact that it can have a hundred cubic meters of built-in space is enough to arouse the madness of countless people. Coupled with the master-level production and jewelry, this belt is really a top-notch treasure!
The Holy Emperor was so excited that he stood up and waved his hand, "Rewards! There are rewards for many!"
Someone immediately outside the hall took out two large gift lists and sent them to the Xirong envoy.
The bearded man took the gift list and was overjoyed when he saw it. He quickly kowtowed in gratitude and left.
…
The climax of the gift-giving was getting higher and higher, making everyone in the hall filled with emotion.
"Xuan, the envoy from the Dongchang Empire presents a gift!" the eunuch preached loudly.
Wan Yangu stood out with a big belly, arrogantly came out of the procession, and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty! I, Dongchang, present a ten-thousand-year-old undersea fire coral to wish our emperor long live, long live, long live!"
Several big men carefully carried a huge box and slowly entered the court hall.
Under everyone's gaze, he unloaded the box, and then Wan Yangu stepped forward and gently uncovered the silk wrapping.
The nine-foot-tall red coral immediately caused everyone to scream!
The tree trunk is tall and straight, the branches are dense and orderly, and the whole body is as red as jade. The fiery red mist is lingering in it, which is charming and mysterious.
The branches are dotted with countless huge luminous pearls of similar sizes. Each pearl is round and smooth, and the treasure is compelling.
Dazzling!
Wan Yangu waved his hand, and the red coral mist suddenly rose sharply. The fiery red cloud swirled among the branches and extended to an extremely long distance. The momentum was astonishing!
"This coral grows on the bottom of the East China Sea. It is nourished by sea water and volcanoes, and has become a spirit for thousands of years. These mist contain rich fire-attribute spiritual energy, which is a treasure that all cultivators dream of. Coupled with the luminous pearls produced on the bottom of the sea, this individual All of them are the finest among pearls and are priceless." Wan Yangu slowly introduced.
The entire audience was silent, and there was no need to say anything. This piece of fire coral was placed here, and it immediately became a treasure among treasures, standing out from the crowd. The fact that it is rich in fire aura surpasses all other treasures and makes it stand out!
The Holy Emperor stood there and stared for a moment, then slowly raised his hands and gave a high-five!
Everyone in the audience high-fived and cheered!
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"There are many rewards! There are many rewards! Come and give me Xuan!" the Holy Emperor said.
Someone immediately outside the hall brought out five large gift lists and handed them to Wanyan Gu.
Wan Yangu took the five large gift orders, took a quick look at them, his whole body was trembling, and he quickly kowtowed in gratitude and left.
…
Suddenly, there was a soft roar in the court hall, and everyone immediately felt that the mysterious energy molecules in the surrounding environment increased sharply. Slowly, the mysterious energy became thicker and thicker, and it seemed that it was almost liquefied.
Everyone immediately sat down cross-legged and began to quietly enjoy this thick gift of mysterious mist.
This kind of mysterious mist is extremely pure, with almost no impurities. After being inhaled, it can be quickly absorbed and assimilated by the body, which is of great help to improve your cultivation.
In short, practicing in such a formation for one hour is equivalent to practicing for one month.
However, the cost of activating the Xuan Gathering Formation is extremely high and requires a large amount of high-grade profound stones, which is not something ordinary people can afford. Even the royal family can only activate it as a gift during major ceremonies.
Everyone in the formation gradually felt that the pressure of Xuan Qi was increasing, and they had to speed up the operation of their skills to resist the external pressure.
However, the strange thing is that around the three gifts, the pressure of the mysterious energy seems to have not changed, and it seems to have been covered by a thin layer of mysterious energy.
A strange sight appeared in the formation. Everyone was practicing quietly in the thick mysterious mist. However, the three gifts were like transparent objects, standing in the court, looking extremely stunning!
Soon, an hour is about to pass, and the ceremony of bestowing mystery is about to end.
Suddenly, two figures suddenly jumped up at the same time, and two majestic waves of mysterious energy swept towards the fire coral!
"Be bold!"
Suddenly, figures flashed in the hall, and the two rebellious figures were instantly restrained.
Looking at the fire coral again, it was intact. The two waves of attacking Xuan Qi were blocked by the Xuan Qi shield in the formation.
"Yu Chigang! Xi Dayou! It's you!" Guan Zheng shouted loudly.
With a wave of their hands, Li Wei and Zhao Yu dragged the two men down to the hall.
The Holy Emperor seemed to have never seen this scene. He practiced quietly for a while, then opened his eyes and opened his mouth: "Give me a banquet!"
Immediately, the hall was filled with loud music, singing and dancing, all three gifts were removed, and a sumptuous banquet was served to entertain officials and envoys.
Wan Yangu was stunned and at a loss when His Highness the Third Highness quietly came over and said, "Don't worry, Sir, the traitor has been caught. This Sir has made his first contribution, so you should celebrate! Do it!"
"Okay! Okay! Done!" Wanyangu felt relieved, smiled broadly, and drank the whole drink in one gulp.
The dedication meeting finally ended in a grand and peaceful atmosphere.
…
In the Xingtian Division, Guan Zheng, Li Yun, Li Wei, Zhao Yu and others were all present, talking and laughing happily.
"Report! The imperial edict has arrived!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately stood up and went out to greet him.
"Welcome the imperial edict!"
Li Wei took a look and saw that the person announcing the decree was his good friend Di Xiu of the Department of Officials.
"It is God's destiny, the emperor decreed. Guan Zheng, the director of the Xingtian Division, and Zhao Yu, the chief of the guard, are loyal and wise, and they have captured the thieves and protected them. They have made indispensable contributions. They are specially given a thousand taels of gold, a thousand pieces of silk and satin, and a promotion to the third rank! Li Weizhong is brave and brave. Jia, rescued the driver from thousands of miles away, and was given the official reinstatement, and another mansion, thousands of hectares of fertile land, and five thousand households! Li Yun was so smart that he broke through the evil plot of the traitor, captured the thief, and protected him. He should be the first to make a contribution! Specially given to the Marquis of Zhongzhi. , a first-class official residence, a mansion, one hundred thousand hectares of fertile land, and ten thousand households! I admire this!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Everyone kowtowed and stood up.
"Haha! Brother Li, you have to celebrate properly this time! I never thought that eleven years later, we would meet again in this way!" Di Xiu laughed.
"Haha, it's God's will. Fortunately, the result is good." Li Wei said with a smile.
Guan Zhengchang sighed: "This time it all depends on Mr. Li. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid our situation at this moment would be unimaginable!"
"Uncle, no matter what, we won in the end! Shouldn't we celebrate this?" Li Yun said with a smile.
"It should! It should! Look, we are going to the 'Tianlong Restaurant' to have a feast and get drunk!"
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Everyone cheered in unison.
"Everyone is going to have a party at Tianlong Restaurant, how can you do it without me?!" His Highness the Third Prince arrived in a hurry with Wu Zhi, Ye Guang, Zhou Hai and several subordinates.
"See you, Your Highness!" Everyone saluted hurriedly.
"Hey, Ping Sheng! Let's go, everyone goes with Xiao Wang. This time, Xiao Wang will be the host. If anyone is not drunk, Xiao Wang will not agree!"
"Let's go!"
…
Tianlong Restaurant is the most prestigious restaurant in the imperial capital. The building here is extraordinary, the interior decoration is luxurious and the taste is extremely high.
With many top chefs, there are all kinds of dishes that can be cooked in the sky, on the ground, or in the sea.
Especially some high-end dishes that are rich in mysterious energy, and the combination is extremely reasonable. These mysterious dishes are the most popular.
When the Third Prince came, he immediately packed up a whole floor and entertained everyone.
His Royal Highness, Guan Zheng and other important personnel were in one of the elegant rooms.
"Everyone, Xiao Wang wants to treat you to a drink today called Xingyun Wine. If you hadn't made such a great contribution, Xiao Wang would really be reluctant to take it out!" His Highness the Third Prince said mysteriously, winking at Li Yun. Blink.
Li Yun was startled and immediately understood that Yang Weizhong, the dean of Tingchao College, was responsible for this.
Soon, a dozen luminous cups were placed on the table. Long Hao took out a bronze wine jug and carefully filled up the Starry Wine for everyone.
Put down the wine bottle and look at everyone with a smile.
A scent of wine instantly filled the entire elegant room, and everyone's face showed an expression of obsession, and they all picked up their wine glasses and tasted the wine.
The crimson wine is like liquefied jade. It melts in the mouth and flows down the river, bringing a stream of warm air that spreads into the limbs. Everyone feels that the whole body is like bathing in a hot spring, comfortable and refreshing.
Wow!
"What kind of wine is this?!"
"Star Luck Wine!"
"No, this is the nectar from heaven!"
"this…"
…
