The sixth day of June is the eightieth birthday of today’s biological mother, the Queen Mother.
It was also the 30th anniversary of the emperor's accession to the throne. First there was the auspiciousness of the imperial examination, and then the demonic turmoil was mostly subsided. Long Yan was very happy, so Li Ao wanted all the civil and military officials of the court to participate, so the birthday banquet was bound to be very grand.
As the last official in Chang'an, Song Mu had a strong sense of presence because of his status as the number one scholar. He was also appointed in a critical situation and wrote several birthday celebration articles. He was even lucky enough to write a word in the "Hundred Years of Life" picture, which was also a blessing.
Song Mu also knew that this matter was serious and dignified, so he took out the Demon King Demon Pill given to him by Commander Liu, the Eastern Border Army, as a congratulatory gift.
In this way, it can be regarded as a decent gift to thank the Holy Grace.
In the past few days, the topic of discussion in Chang'an was also the Queen Mother's birthday, and there was quite a lively scene.
The day finally arrived, and all the officials in Chang'an had made preparations early. There were numerous banquets held in the imperial city today, and dignitaries could attend the appointments if they had invitations.
This time Song Mu rode a carriage to the outside of the imperial city, and saw that the imperial city was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and it was very lively.
In front of the Zhuque Gate of the Imperial City, many carriages stopped here. Many of them were officials with three or two families. Song Mu saw many well-dressed children who also got off the carriages.
In order to please the Queen Mother for this birthday banquet, Li Ao authorized all the invited officials to bring their families, especially children, who would also receive rewards from the Queen Mother.
Therefore, many officials brought their families with them to have a rare visit to the imperial city.
For a moment, everyone in sight was filled with people in brocade clothes. The place was a little noisy, but it was already a bit lively.
It seems that Your Majesty has put a lot of effort into celebrating the Queen Mother's birthday.
It was evening at the moment, and the palace doors in various parts of the imperial city were opened, and soldiers were waiting in full formation. After careful searches, they let everyone in.
But just as he entered the imperial city, someone called Song Mu next to him. Song Mu looked over and saw Tan Weiyi and Xiao Renlin.
Both of them were accompanied by a woman with luxurious makeup. This time they stepped forward to introduce her. Only then did Song Mu know that this was their perfect match. This time, they also handed her over.
And as he said this, another person came up to him. Liu Kaidong was holding a fat boy in his hands to greet Song Mu. The woman next to him was also holding two girls.
It turns out that the family members of Liu Kaidong and Jiangnan West Road also came to Chang'an some time ago, and they also came to attend the birthday banquet this time.
Song Mu also showed emotion when he saw this. This time he couldn't help but think of his second uncle who was far away in his hometown and Gu Qingqing from Jinling, and he felt a little lonely.
However, several people came forward to talk to Song Mu.
"Brother Song, we are all waiting to see you show off your literary talent at the Queen Mother's birthday party today."
Song Mu grinned slightly and just held his hands.
Today is of course unavoidable, and I have indeed prepared poems for this birthday banquet, but whether or not I will write them out by then depends on the situation.
After all, with the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty present, I couldn't overstep my bounds.
After a few months in Chang'an, Song Mu still learned some tact.
"Brother Song, please don't put on such an expression. I just want to look at the legendary poems at the tail-burning banquet that day, and the fairy spirit. I think it will be a grand occasion again today."
Several people said this with great emotion. Song Mu also slightly raised his hands and walked towards it together.
This time the birthday banquet was still held in the Liangyi Palace, but the decoration was a bit more gorgeous than the original tail-burning banquet. Especially before entering, a palace maid distributed a birthday peach to everyone, which made everyone marvel.
.
These are not peach fruits, I think they were specially cultivated.
As the rays of the setting sun set at the foot of the mountain, the door of Liangyi Palace was completely opened. Countless officials entered with their families, and children among them were running around, creating a lively atmosphere.
The royal ceremony was so heart-stirring, and the prosperity of the Wen Dynasty could be seen everywhere.
At that moment, Song Mu and others went in and saw countless tables lined up in the main hall, until the tables in the deepest seats were filled with delicacies. People were almost dazzled by this scene.
Song Mu found a place to sit down and happened to meet several colleagues from the Hanlin Academy. This time they all sat down together.
Other family members are sitting elsewhere, and if the children are willing, there are tables specially placed for them under the high platform.
Such lively scenes made Song Mu couldn't help but want to see what kind of kind old woman the Queen Mother of the Wen Dynasty really was.
As Song Mu sat down, many of the last officials also came over to join hands with Song Mu, and all of them had smiles on their faces.
"Haha, since Song Dynasty is the champion, I will definitely see another poem handed down from ancient times today."
"This is actually a blessing. In the past, Li Taibai was the only one in this situation. Now, we have another champion of the Song Dynasty."
There were people nearby who agreed, and a few people actually agreed immediately, but Song Mu quickly handed over his hand.
Such rhetoric exaggerates oneself too much.
But speaking of it, I don't have Li Taibai's amazing poetic talent, but I have the same troubles as him.
They were obviously both talented literati, but in the end they were only remembered for their poetic talent.
However, Song Mu didn't say much. After bowing to each other, Bina also sat in the corner and watched the birthday banquet.
As the hundreds of officials arrived, the etiquette officer on duty shouted to them.
"Li Du Shizong is here!"
Hearing this, everyone also looked sideways. At this moment, seeing the arrival of Li Du Shizong's people, they all stood up suddenly.
Because the people who came were actually Du Sheng and Li Sheng. The two old men walked leisurely towards the main hall. Everyone had already bowed and held their hands, and now they said in a deep voice.
"Welcome to the saint."
Not only that, but then someone from the Poetry Sect arrived, and the scene suddenly became much more solemn.
Everyone also looked at each other in shock. They never expected that at this birthday banquet, most of the poetry sects in the world would arrive, and Li Du Shizong would be such a heavyweight.
There was a lot of noise in the Liangyi Palace this time, and many officials took this opportunity to bow to these Shizong people, showing a harmonious appearance.
Not long after, the bells rang outside the main hall, and then the shouts of the ceremony officials came.
"The Queen Mother is here! Your Majesty is here!"
Everyone in the hall had already bowed and shouted in a deep voice towards the outside of the hall.
"Welcome to Your Majesty, and to the Queen Mother."
"The Queen Mother and all the world are blessed together!"
The loud voice sounded even more dignified when recalled in this hall, and the ceremony official showed his literary power, and thousands of candlelights flickered, illuminating the hall with splendor and splendor.
Several figures slowly entered the hall at this moment.
Li Ao, who was dressed in a golden robe, bent over and helped an old woman walk among them. Beside the old woman, a middle-aged woman dressed dignifiedly also supported her.
Although the current Queen Mother is eighty years old, she is blessed with profound blessings, full of black hair, and in good spirits.
And beside her are the two children she gave birth to, the current emperor Li Ao and the princess.
The officials and Shizong people all made way for the passage. The Queen Mother smiled and nodded to those around her. Everyone held their hands and said auspicious words, and surrounded her to the main seat of the main hall.
Song Mu stood in the distance and looked out, but he saw many young people following the Queen Mother, including a few familiar faces.
Li Moer and Li Dong walked behind their parents, and in the long queue behind them, Li Tai's figure had also appeared.
The descendants of the royal family gathered together today. Song Mu glanced at them and saw that among them there were more than ten people in the Jinshi realm, and many people in the scholarly realm.
