Chapter 314 The Goddess of Childbirth for the Heirless Emperor 4
Chapter 314 The Goddess of Childbirth for the Heirless Emperor 4
Your Majesty held a banquet in Shenzhang Palace to entertain important civil and military officials of the court.
The ministers pondered for a long time but could not figure out if there was any major event or good day worth celebrating in the near future.
But not important.
His Majesty gave a banquet and they went to the banquet happily.
The Marquis of Weixin Mansion.
Marquis Weixin Gongsun Yi is already seventy-two years old, which is considered very long-lived in this era.
He fought on the battlefield for decades, made great military achievements, and was therefore awarded the title of Marquis. However, decades of battlefield career also left indelible damage to his body.
The Gongsun family is in the emperor's favor, but Marquis Weixin has not attended such palace banquets for a long time.
As usual, he prepared to take sick leave and asked his eldest son Gongsun Zhi to go to the banquet at the palace.
This time, the palace maid said, "His Majesty specifically instructed that if the old marquis can hold on, please try to go to the palace tomorrow night."
Although Gongsun Yi did not understand the meaning, he still agreed and decided to go to the palace tomorrow.
Day two.
Pingxi Hou stood among the ministers, listening to them discussing why His Majesty was holding a banquet tonight.
He tried his best to suppress the raised corners of his mouth: Oh, this feeling of being the only one sober while everyone else is drunk is really fascinating and torturous!
"Marquis Pingxi, why do you laugh so disgustingly?" A familiar general looked at him suspiciously.
Pingxi Hou's face turned serious: "Go away, what do you mean by disgusting? Can you speak?"
The man didn't care about being scolded. He smiled and came over: "You monkey, you didn't jump up and down today to ask around. Tell me, His Majesty is holding a banquet tonight. Do you know anything about it?"
Pingxi Hou looked at him with contempt and said reservedly, "How can I know what your majesty is thinking?"
Say it, straighten your sleeves, look up and leave.
"…What a crap, it's so weird." The man who stayed behind cursed with a smile, shook his head, and left.
That night.
The Shenzhang Palace was brightly lit with candles, and almost all the important officials of Daxuan appeared here.
They soon discovered something unusual.
In the Shenzhang Palace, a seat appeared next to the high throne.
It did not appear among the seats of civil and military officials, but was only slightly lower than the throne, almost parallel to it.
The ministers were shocked and curious. What did Your Majesty mean?
Soon, the emperor arrived.
The ministers bowed and returned to their seats.
The seat next to the emperor was still empty.
Who is this for?
Who is so bold as to arrive later than Your Majesty?
Marquis Wei Xin immediately asked, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being so bold, but I wonder what these extra seats are for?"
There were almost no officials in the palace who were older, more experienced, or had higher status than him, so it was most appropriate for him to ask this question.
The emperor said, "This is the seat of the imperial teacher."
National Division?
Marquis Weixin frowned. Who is this national teacher?
More importantly, he must be placed in this position. If he cannot convince the ministers, there will be unrest in the court.
A light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
It was the silver moonlight that scattered down from the bright moon in the sky, passing through the sky, passing through the numerous palaces, and falling on the seat beside the emperor.
The people of the entire Daxuanxindu all saw that bright beam of light.
"Mother, look, it's so bright!"
"what is this?"
"Did the moon fall?"
"..."
Countless people came out of their homes, looked up, and stared at the beam of light with their mouths wide open.
"That's the palace!"
Many people knelt down and shouted to the gods.
They only saw the beam of light from afar, and it was like this already. What about the court officials who saw this scene up close in the hall?
Everyone was stunned, watching the glow gradually condense into a human silhouette.
The light gradually faded, as if it was completely absorbed into the body of the figure.
A goddess with black hair, a tall crown and a dignified demeanor appeared in front of everyone.
bang-
The sound of cups and bowls falling to the ground could be heard from all around the hall.
The emperor was also stunned for a moment by this unusual appearance, and then he felt happy.
For any emperor, being favored by the gods is a great recognition of him.
He had asked Zhuyin before whether he should send someone to pick her up, and Zhuyin said no, she would come as promised.
But at this moment...
Zhu Yin turned her head to look at the emperor: "I heard that there is a banquet tonight, and I wanted to add some wine and food for your majesty. I was delayed for a while."
She waved her hand.
The courtiers, who had not yet come to their senses, saw a silver light flying out from the goddess' sleeves.
Wow!
Many people were so shocked that they stood up.
However, no one cared about their impoliteness because the emperor on the throne also stood up.
A huge beast appeared in the temple.
Its huge body almost occupied the entire space of the Shenzhang Palace. The courtiers in the first row were even close enough to see its hair burning with golden-red flames.
It's already dead.
A dead, majestic beast with flames burning on its body.
Strangely enough, there was still flame burning on its body, but the fire would not go out and would not burn anything.
Zhuyin smiled and said, "This is a strange beast. If mortals eat it, they can strengthen their bodies and prolong their lives."
Physical fitness!
Prolong your life!
The people, especially the military generals, who had just thought that this big guy was very scary, suddenly became restless.
They began to look at the strange beast carefully.
To be honest, apart from the initial shock of the giant beast and mortals' fear of fire, just looking at its appearance, it is truly a majestic beast.
The emperor's eyes also sparkled.
He turned sideways and looked at Zhu Yin: "Goddess, how do we cook this strange beast?"
Everyone saw the goddess raise her hand, and the flames on the giant beast seemed to be drawn and gathered in her palm, turning into a small red bead burning with flames.
Zhu Yin pinched the small bead with her slender fingertips and took a look: "The spirit fire of the strange beast, well, it's still a little dark in this hall."
The red spirit bead slipped away from her fingertips and hung in the void in the center of the hall.
Like a miniature sun, the entire Shenzhang Palace was as bright as day.
The fire on the strange beast was gone.
Zhu Yin said, "This strange beast should be cooked the same way as ordinary beasts."
"Your Majesty!" Pingxi Hou stood up happily and said loudly, "I request your permission to help carry away and dispose of this strange beast."
It is not easy to clean and dissect such a large beast.
What’s more, when the chefs in the palace see this thing, they may not even have the strength to lift the knife.
As soon as Pingxi Hou spoke, the others also reacted, especially the generals, who all said: "I am willing to help too!"
There are even more straightforward ones: "I also want to touch the exotic beast!"
The emperor's fingers hidden in his sleeves moved slightly.
In fact, he also wanted to touch this extraordinary giant beast and see how it was different from ordinary beasts.
He stood up and said, "The goddess hunted a rare beast for Daxuan. My lords, why don't you enjoy it together?"
Naturally, there was a response.
At this moment, the court officials were all confused.
Major events one after another hit their brains, and they couldn't react at all at the moment.
However, one thing is certain: what is there to stay in this hall? They want to see strange beasts, they want to see strange beasts!
The emperor simply ordered people to come in and carry the strange beast to an open area outside the palace, and then ordered people to get torches.
"Why bother?" Zhu Yin said with a smile.
The dizzy ministers immediately set their eyes on her.
They heard His Majesty call her "Goddess".
Goddess, is she a fairy?
Thinking of the radiance just now, and seeing the strange beast in front of me, it was definitely not an ordinary creature.
Everyone nodded: She must be a goddess to have such great power.
