Looking from the towering platform, one could see neat rows of troops crisscrossing the square. Their faces could not be seen clearly, but they were wearing the same armor and helmet. The first three rows were all fierce generals. Their different clothes represented their extraordinary positions, and each of them was excited because they had won a battle and returned victorious. During this time, a man wearing silver-gray armor and holding a red-tasseled spear was smiling at Nangong Hao, who was dressed in a bright yellow robe.
This was the outermost layer of the palace. Without the layers of high walls, the sandstorm here seemed particularly strong. The strong wind rolled up Nangong Hao's wide sleeves. His black hair that was as beautiful as ink and waterfall fluttered in the wind. The smile on his face also became more and more intense. After a long time, he raised his right hand. With just a gentle gesture, he attracted the cheers of thousands of soldiers and horses,"Long live our emperor!"”These few words were short, but the soldiers 'mouths were filled with a strange charm.
The man holding the red-tasseled spear was their leader, Nangong Lian, Lord Lian. The moment everyone received the order and got up, he jumped off the horse. For a moment, the sound of weapons clashing and the sound of armor rubbing against each other would make people mistakenly think that they were hearing things and had arrived on the bloodthirsty battlefield.
The sound of the gun hitting the ground echoed in the vast and empty scene for a long time. The handsome and mighty man knelt on one knee in front of the emperor.
"This subject did not disappoint the emperor and brought my brothers back!”His voice was as majestic as the person himself.
Nangong Hao's lips curled up in satisfaction. Bai Feng Qing, Cheng Jun, and the others kneeling on both sides could see his joy. It had been a long time since she saw his smiling face. Only a smile that came from the bottom of his heart was a sign of his true happiness. Even though this smile carried the arrogance and arrogance of a king, it was a true reflection of his happiness.
His usual calm smile would only make the people around him worry.
"Uncle Wang, please get up." Nangong Hao went forward to help Nangong Lian up. Nangong Lian raised his head and smiled at him. At this moment, Nangong Hao straightened his body and shouted at the thousands of troops under the high platform,"I have decided to reward the three armies. In the next three days of the banquet, I will not return until I am drunk!"”As soon as he finished speaking, Nangong Hao waved his sleeves and made a rewarding gesture.
"Thank you, emperor. Long live my emperor! The Heaven Enlightenment will last forever!" The powerful shouts from below the stage lasted for a long time, and every soldier's heart was filled with the joy of seeing dew after a long drought. The months of war had finally ended. They had not been looking forward to this moment, but to the moment when they could obtain a moment of peace.
*************
Singing and dancing, wine, and laughter continued.
At this moment, the entire banquet hall was filled with the atmosphere of singing and dancing. The ministers were in groups of three to five, drinking and chatting. Lord Lin and Lord Ru sat opposite each other without saying a word.
Nangong Hao, who was seated on the main seat, squinted his clear eyes. His dark purple dragon robe brushed past the table without leaving a trace. Mu Zhaoyi was smiling gently as she handed him a glass of wine. He took it with a smile and didn't forget to pinch her fair and clear face with his slender fingers. On the other side of Nangong Hao, Concubine Zhuang was enjoying the wine while dancing and dancing.
Consort Zhen had been grounded for a month because of the previous case of Mei Jie Yu, so it was inconvenient for her to attend the banquet this time. Then, if one were to calculate further, the high-ranking concubines would naturally be Consort Zhuang and the pregnant Mu Zhaoyi. If she successfully gave birth to a prince, then there was no doubt that she would be granted the title of a concubine in the future.
Luo Ya, who was standing behind Concubine Zhuang, glanced at Zi Se. She did not know why, but her expression today was especially abnormal. Not only was her face flushed red, but her eyes were also filled with love. Judging from her abnormal behavior, Roya came to a very serious conclusion. She was probably in love.
However, in the blink of an eye, summer had already passed. Why was this guy thinking about spring?
Following Zi Se's gaze, Loya saw a man in a bright red robe. Uh, he looked to be about thirty years old. Even if he wasn't, he was at least twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. In ancient times, such an age was not considered young, but she was actually dressed so gorgeously on such a grand occasion. What did Zi Se see in him?
Actually, it wasn't as serious as what Roya thought.
What she saw was the Lian Prince, Nangong Lian, sitting on a seat second only to the throne. At this moment, Nangong Hao took the wine handed over by Mu Zhaoyi and stood up to toast Nangong Lian." Uncle Wang, you've worked hard to lead the army to Tu Country. This cup of wine is for you."”
Nangong Lian immediately stood up. His red clothes and black hair were particularly eye-catching among the officials. Everyone's eyes were filled with amazement and admiration, especially Zi Se's eyes. Luo Ya looked at Nangong Lian again. The impression she had of him as a playboy had been reduced by half. He had to admit that the Nangong Family's bloodline was noble and excellent. As long as they were related to the Nangong Family, they were all extremely handsome.
Nangong Lian did not drink the wine immediately. Instead, he narrowed his peach blossom eyes and respectfully knelt on the ground with the wine glass in his hands. This time, it was no longer kneeling on one knee, but a very standard monarch and minister bow: We are loyal to Tianqi and His Majesty Chongxi. It is our honor. We dare not ask for credit and reward!”He said some polite words that went with the ceremony, but Nangong Hao still laughed in his heart.
He strolled down the jade steps and helped Nangong Lian up with both hands." Uncle Wang, you're too polite. It's just a toast. Why do you have to be so polite?"”
"Moreover, Uncle Wang has made many contributions to my country over the years. Uncle Wang should accept my reward.”After saying this to Nangong Lian, who had already stood up, Nangong Hao continued to say to the officials," Don't you think so?”There was no questioning tone. The words from the king's mouth were always orders.
"The emperor is right, it has been hard on Prince Lian!”All the officials put down the jade cups in their hands and said in unison.
Nangong Lian heard everyone's voices and knelt on the ground again,"It's our blessing to have such an emperor. It's Tianqi's blessing!" I thank Your Majesty for your reward. Long live our emperor!”
The ministers also knelt in the middle of the hall and shouted in unison,"Long live our emperor!" Empress, live a thousand years!"
This was the first time that Luo Ya had seen a monarch and his subjects worshipping each other. It was different from the voices of the orioles and swallows in the harem. This time, it was turbulent and majestic. A black mass of human heads appeared in front of Loya, causing her to not dare to breathe for a moment. She should have enjoyed this scene, but for some reason, the atmosphere was so serious that she did not dare to smile.
Zi Se was still immersed in her infatuated dream for a long time and did not come back to her senses. However, Nangong Hao's " Rise " scared Zi Se, who was nearby.
Luo Ya gently tugged at Zi Se. She blushed and did not dare to look at Luo Ya.
"I heard that there will be a very special song and dance today. I really want to see it.”Nangong Hao opened his mouth and said after seeing the officials return to their positions.
The ministers were all beaming with joy as they waited for the next feast.
