National Fortune Bonus: After the new player awakens at the maximum level, he will kill like crazy
Chapter 74: Court Meeting
[Ding Dong: Congratulations to the host for obtaining 10 bottles of Level 1 Gathering Magic Pills, 0.1 Thousand Gold Jade Ruyi, and a % bonus to the power of national destiny.]
[Current accumulation of national destiny power: 4.1%]
After all, it's an auxiliary system. Even if he had the power of national destiny, he couldn't give it to the boss. He gave it secretly without telling the boss...
"Happy New Year." Su Mohui laughed from the bottom of her heart, responding to the New Year gifts given to her by Suirenshi and the system, "I like it very much!"
Suiren also smiled and nodded, looking at her lovingly.
She stayed in the spiritual world for a while before she came to her senses. She opened her eyes and looked at the bright red lanterns outside the yard for a while before turning over and falling asleep.
It was still dark at four o'clock the next morning.
Su Mohui was awakened by the sound of firecrackers. Huiyue had not slept because she was staying up all night to celebrate the New Year, and she had calculated the time and prepared water for her to wash her face.
After washing up, she walked into the courtyard with the red envelope in her pocket. She saw Huiyue waiting for her to set off firecrackers. The latter had also changed into clothes of the same color as her. The moment she saw Su Mohui, she trotted over with a sincere smile.
"Happy New Year, Miss! I hope that in the new year, Miss will have a lot of money, be promoted step by step, and stay young and energetic..." A series of auspicious words came out of her mouth, and her little thoughts were obvious.
Su Mohui took out the red envelope that she had prepared long ago and blocked her mouth. She smiled and wiped away the stain on her shoulder, "Happy New Year!"
After the master and servant happily set off firecrackers, the old nanny came in with a group of maids, carrying yesterday's new palace clothes.
As usual, Su Mohui gave them small red envelopes, then had dinner with the whole family before coming back to start dressing up.
After a full half hour, she finally stood up in her heavy dress and went to the front hall with the old nanny and Huiyue.
Su Yue had also been dressed neatly. He wore an official hat inlaid with rubies and oriental pearls, an official robe embroidered with qilins, a court rosary made of oriental pearls around his neck, and long boots on his feet.
This was the first time Su Mohui saw Su Yue fully dressed in his official uniform, and she was immediately struck by his handsomeness. After all, the uniforms he wore to court were not the same as those he wore during court meetings.
He looked at Su Mohui who was coming over, nodded with satisfaction, and waited for a while towards the side door before waiting for Li Qiuyue who was late.
Su Yue confirmed once again that there was no mistake with Li Qiuyue's official uniform, then he walked out of the Su family's gate, got on the carriage with the Su family's exclusive logo, and drove towards the palace.
When they arrived at the palace gate, the three men got off the carriage and, along with their attendants, followed the eunuch who had been waiting at the east gate into the palace.
Su Mohui brought with her the daughter of the old maid who had taught her etiquette the day before, a girl named Sun Lan. Su Yue naturally brought with him Su Cheng, who had often entered the palace with him and was well known to the Emperor, and who had been given a name by the Emperor. As for Li Qiuyue, she brought her own maid, Zhang Fang.
The eunuch took them to a house and said, "This is the resting place prepared by the emperor for the general. Please rest here for your wife and eldest daughter and don't move. General Su, the sacrificial ceremony is ready. Please come this way..." As he spoke, he continued to bow and made a gesture of invitation.
"I'll go with my father-in-law and be back soon. You two just rest here." Su Yue glanced at Li Qiuyue and gave Su Mohui instructions.
He left only after receiving affirmative looks from the two.
Li Qiuyue wouldn't pick on Su Mohui just because of a quick word. Su Yue's status was the only reason she was here. After all, with her father being a seventh-rank official, she probably wouldn't even have the chance to attend court meetings. She simply ignored Su Mohui; out of sight, out of mind.
There were originally several palace maids in the house. After seeing the eunuch leave, they stepped forward and bowed, "Miss Su, please come this way."
"Mrs. Su, this way please."
The palace maid tactfully placed the two people in two rooms before leaving.
However, the palace maid who led Su Mohui into the house did not leave. After entering the house, she accepted the New Year's red envelope given by Su Mohui, and was now telling her about the things that needed attention in the palace.
It is seven o'clock in the morning. A ceremony to worship the heaven will be held on the morning of the first day of the first lunar month to pray for good weather and good harvests for the whole year.
At this time, all the civil and military officials were already waiting at the site of the heaven sacrifice for the emperor to read the blessing speech and pray that God would bless the Luoshen Empire.
Various large drums and musical drums were placed under the stage for offering sacrifices to heaven. First, the emperor came on stage and read out the congratulatory message in an eloquent manner. The empress and empress spoke words of offering sacrifices to heaven behind the emperor.
Then the rhythmic tunes of drums and bells began to be heard. As the passionate sounds of the drums came, the civil and military officials officially began to kneel down and worship.
......
It was almost nine o'clock when Su Yue came back, followed by a eunuch in charge.
Su Cheng invited Su Mohui and Li Qiuyue out. They looked at each other's clothes and then followed the eunuch in charge to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
After waiting for a while, singing sounds came from the side of the temple.
Su Yue is a first-rank general defending the country, and his title is sung sixteenth in the order.
"General Su Yue and his family came to the palace—"
According to the rules, only people of high rank could bring their entourage into the court during the meeting. Sun Lan and Zhang Fang were left outside and had a special small buffet.
"Your Highness, Su Yue, and I, along with my wife and daughter, come to see the Emperor and congratulate him on the New Year. I pray that Heaven will protect our Emperor, that he may be healthy and that his country will be forever strong and prosperous."
"Your humble servant, Li Qiuyue, pays homage to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor! May the Emperor's grace remain forever, and may he enjoy a long and blessed life..."
"My daughter, Su Mohui, pays homage to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor. May the Emperor live as long as the heavens. May your great virtue shine upon the world, and may the world be peaceful and prosperous."
Su Yue started by saying some auspicious words and led the two of them to kneel down and worship.
The emperor who was sitting in the main hall listened to the auspicious words and nodded slightly, "My dear minister, there is no need to be so polite, please stand up quickly." Then he waved his hand and gave a look to the chief eunuch next to him. The eunuch walked down and gave Su Yue a light support.
Seeing how much importance the emperor attached to them, the ministers who had already taken their seats felt their tongues ache. Apart from the Three Dukes, General Tiance and the two prime ministers, the other first-rank officials did not receive such treatment!
Um...how should I put it? After all, Su Yue, the great general who defends the country, has a status second only to the general of Tiance, and his status is slightly higher than that of the three officials. He also holds the military command, so it is reasonable for him to be valued.
Following the rules, Su Yue and the other two followed the eunuch's lead and sat on the right side of the emperor. After all, martial arts were respected on the mainland, and the palace also respected the right side.
As the singing continued, countless officials and their families came forward, knelt, and quickly took their seats. It took nearly half an hour before all officials from the fourth rank and above were in place and seated.
Just then, the eunuch who was singing finished, and a voice of chorus was heard from the palace gate. The next second, the voice of the chief eunuch's chorus was heard from the hall.
For a moment, the Emperor wrote an inscription and raised his glass. Everyone raised their glasses and stood up to join in the chant, saying in unison, "Long live the Emperor—"
When Su Mohui heard this, it became "Me too", "+1", and the ever-changing famous "+"
As the emperor took his seat, everyone else also took their seats and began to eat.
