At the fifth hour of You, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor walked into the Hall of Supreme Harmony at the same time and walked along the ladder to the high platform of the dragon throne.

Behind them are the queen, the crown prince, the prince Changle led the third prince, the king of Shou, the concubines, etc.

Liu Mingqi also glanced at King Shou more. This little devil, who is said to be in the palace, is not tall, looks very similar to the emperor, and is also slightly fat and ordinary.

At this time, he was very well-behaved, but he looked around and didn't know what he was looking at.

The emperor naturally sat on the dragon throne, but the Empress Dowager was slightly ahead next to him, showing the noble identity of the Empress Dowager alone.

When the Empress Dowager sat on the high platform of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, there was already a silence underneath.

The eunuch dressed in a red robe stood on the steps and shouted loudly: "All civil and military officials, nobles and relatives, please get up!"

His voice had just fallen, and a group of celebrants standing at the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony also repeated loudly.

The emperor, empress, prince and others came out and stood in front of the empress dowager.

Hundreds of people stood up under the Palace of Supreme Harmony.

In the square outside, everyone stood up.

"Congratulations to the Empress Dowager's 66th birthday!"

The eunuch had spoken, and the emperor, who was standing in front, bowed down with his fists.

The group of people behind, the group of people below, and the group of people outside bowed in unison.

"The mother's queen is blessed and prosperous, and she will live forever!"

"Grandma the emperor has a continuous blessing and a long life!"

"The Empress Dowager's blessings and fortunes will last forever!"

“…”

The last few words of everyone were combined and resounded throughout the entire imperial city.

The Empress Dowager raised her hand with a smile: "Okay, okay, thank you for your concern and blessings. Our Dakang Dynasty relies on all the ministers and the children of the noble family to protect it. The Ai family also thanks everyone for the emperor!"

"Everyone is the strongest minister of our Dakang Dynasty. Such a good country is also a part of everyone. The Ai family also hopes that our descendants will support each other in the future and live a happy life."

"The Ai family has lived for 66 years. I hope that in another four years, I will see everyone here. I will see you like the Ai family, with three blessings, fortune, and longevity!"

Every word she said was passed on through eunuchs and emcee.

Every time I say something, there are bursts of applause inside and outside.

"Okay, the Ai family won't say much. I think everyone is tired and hungry when they wait. The emperor has prepared a stage for three days and three nights for everyone, and the water feast. Then you eat, drink and play more. The happier you are, the happier the Ai family will be!"

"Thank you the grace of the mother (the queen mother)!"

I don’t know if it’s because I can finally have a meal, but everyone’s response was surprisingly loud.

The banquets in ancient and modern times are the same. There have been wine, cold dishes and cold dishes on the table. When I heard the orders of the eunuch in charge, I had been waiting for a group of palace maids and eunuchs next to me, and I was busy quickly.

The emperor, the queen mother and the others ate separately on the top, while the tables below were all tables of eight people.

After a while, everyone started to eat, drink and shout, and the decibels were so high that they were a little noisy.

The Empress Dowager and Emperor Jinghe were not unhappy, but were more excited and said and laughed while eating.

Regardless of whether you want to eat or drink or not, you must behave like this at this time.

Otherwise, after being sued, the emperor asked you, is it because my banquet was not good enough, so you can't eat it? Or are you unhappy, so you have a bitter face?

What did you say at that time?

Therefore, now you have to pretend to be lively and happy!

After the birthday party began, after a while, all the princes, princes, prime ministers, ministers, governors, etc. all started to walk up with wine, and gave congratulations to the empress dowager alone, and drank them all in one go.

The Queen Mother always drinks a sip of tea and gives you a reply.

By the time the juniors such as Liu Mingqi and others came to the stage, the boy was already a little confused by a group of unscrupulous relatives.

Fortunately, there was nothing ugly when I went up.

Following the cousins ​​and cousins, he saluted them in a regular manner. Seeing that someone came over with wine, Liu Mingqi escaped with the help of urine and ran out of the Taihe Palace.

What they respected was not Liu Mingqi, but the soap and flower essential oil from Prince Yu’s mansion.

Prince Yu and Princess Yu were much better. They were surrounded by first-class bosses and ladies. Of course, it was impossible for them to drink wine like young people.

After leaving the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Liu Mingqi saw the scene of the prosperous era in the brightly lit square of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

He looked at it when he came in just now, but it was not as good as the night was coming, and thousands of large torches burned around him, lit up the surroundings as prosperous and lively as daytime.

The empty stages on all sides were scattered among the tables and banquets, and in turn, they formed several circles around the stage.

While eating and drinking, everyone watched the performances from all directions. The cheers were not just flattering.

Liu Mingqi doesn't want to join in the fun.

At this time, he just wanted to find a cleaner place to sit for a while, then go out to find Dazhu and the others, and go home to sleep.

Why not leave now?

As soon as the Queen Mother's birthday banquet began, you ran away first. Are you dissatisfied with the Queen Mother?

Even if it is not true, if the censor and the censor are involved, the emperor's board will probably fall.

Secondly, he was very dizzy, and now he walked so far out of the palace and had to vomit out halfway.

It's better to sit and rest for a while.

Liu Mingqi is the prince of Prince Yu. During this period, he often came to the palace. Whether it is the eunuchs and maids in the palace or the Qianniu Guards, everyone recognizes his face.

Seeing him walking so far, a military marquis from Qianniu Guard kindly guided him, "Your Highness, there is a large garden next to Linxiting, you can go there for a seat."

As he said that, he also called two guards to lead the way for Liu Mingqi.

After going down the stairs on the side, I arrived at Linxiting in a short while.

Qianniu Guards who were guarding the door here laughed when they saw their colleagues, "What? Are there drunks coming to hide from the wine again?"

"Ahem, it's His Highness Prince Yu." The person who came quickly said.

The guards guarding the gate quickly stopped talking, made way and let Liu Mingqi walk in.

They thought to themselves that the Prince Yu was not very sensible now, otherwise it would be a problem if he held a grudge against them.

Who doesn’t know that Prince Yu is highly valued by the emperor?

This made him unhappy. Although the sugar is not necessarily sweet, it is definitely sour when it is used as vinegar.

Liu Mingqi walked into the garden of Linxiting and immediately heard a snoring sound, and even a few people talking in their sleep.

I looked over and saw people sitting and lying in the pavilions, on the garden corridors, and even on the ground.

I think this group of people can't hold on at the banquet anymore. Instead of losing their compassion in front of others, it's better to find a place to hide first and wait until they recover before going out.

The boy shook his head and smiled. He walked in a little bit, found a place where no one was around, leaned against a pillar and sat down.

Then he fell asleep in a daze.

...

“Woo woo woo woo…”

Liu Mingqi was woken up by a cry.

He didn't want to open his eyes, but after a stick of incense, the crying continued, and the boy was annoyed.

He jumped up and shouted angrily: "Which bastard is disturbing people's dreams here?"

The crying stopped instantly.

Then Liu Mingqi saw a sparse sound suddenly appearing in a place with flowers.

"Who? Come out! Otherwise I'm not polite!"

Liu Mingqi shouted while searching to see where there were any weapons.

"Don't... don't..."

An awkward sound came from behind the flowers, and then a small black man wearing a round and colorful clothes walked out timidly.

He is very short, not even 1.5 meters tall, not very old, maybe less than twenty years old, but his skin is very dark. If he doesn't look carefully, he is like an African black baby.

However, looking at the clothes he was wearing, it was obvious that it was in Southeast Asia.

"Who are you?" Liu Mingqi frowned and said, "Report your name and origin! If you dare to have a lie, I will immediately let the Honglu Temple expel you from my Dakang!"

Hei Xiaoren was so scared that he knelt down with a "thump" and cried stammeringly: "Sir, please spare me! Please... don't drive me back..."

"Stand up and tell me honestly!" Liu Mingqi was still a little dizzy while standing, so she sat on the corridor.

The little man of Hei didn't dare to get up, but just bowed his head and begged: "The villain is a student of the Imperial College. The prince of Cebu, Du Lifeng, has seen Lord Dakang Shangguo. Please don't drive me out of Dakang!"

"Cebu Country? Where is it?" Liu Mingqi became curious.

"Cebu Kingdom is in the East of the Great Kang Dynasty, and it takes two months to sail from Hainan, the southernmost tip." Du Lifeng replied.

Hainan?
