Chapter 30 Post House Planning(2/2)
"Okay. I'll do it."
Two days later, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th. It is also the lunar calendar of the Wei Dynasty.
Shen Ao and Shen Xiyao got up early, changed into their respective court uniforms, and went to attend the imperial court together.
The chief and deputy envoys of the three countries' missions also attended the court, but everyone knew that the banquet in the evening was the highlight of the day, so the court ended uneventfully.
Shen Ao was a big boss in the ministry, so he went home comfortably after going to court.
Shen Xiyao's life was hopeless. She took the officials from Guanglu Temple out of the city and went straight to the Shen family's manor, where they loaded three kinds of Luoshen wine into a truck and sent them to the palace.
Inside and outside the Zichen Palace, countless eunuchs, maids, female officials and officials from Honglu Temple, under the command of the temple minister Yang Minzhi, arranged the banquet scene in an orderly manner.
It started to get dark, and officials at all levels who were qualified to attend the banquet, together with their families, had already arrived at the palace early.
Shen Ao brought his daughter Shen Ling'er and his daughter-in-law Zhou to the palace.
Both Shen Ling'er and the Zhou family were dressed in imperial robes and were led to the harem. Shen Ling'er had just been conferred a royal imperial title, while Zhou had already had this honor and was fully qualified to participate in the royal banquet.
Shen Ao went to Zichen Hall.
The atmosphere in the Zichen Palace was very peaceful, and officials with similar relationships gathered together to talk. However, there were a lot of people, and the hall was a bit noisy.
After waiting for a while, the eunuch's long singing sound sounded outside the palace gate.
"The envoy from the State of Qin has arrived."
Officials from Honglu Temple came out to greet them and brought the people from the Qin delegation to the positions that had been set up.
"The envoy from Hou Shu has arrived."
There was another long singing.
The officials in charge of Shu got up and went out to greet him.
After a while, the voice of "The envoy from Chu State has arrived" sounded.
Officials from Honglu Temple went out to greet him.
It was only after waiting for a long time that a figure appeared at the door of Zichen Palace. The official of Honglu Temple who had gone out to greet the Chu State delegation came in with a gloomy look.
Yang Minzhi glanced at the group of Honglu Temple officials with some displeasure. The leading official walked up to Yang Minzhi with a sullen face and whispered a few words. Yang Minzhi's face also darkened. He turned around and looked Ji Yun was kneeling behind him.
"Ji Shaoqing, go and take a look."
Ji Yun accepted the order and followed the previous officials of Honglu Temple out of Zichen Hall.
Outside the Zichen Hall, a group of people from the Chu Kingdom were waiting at the foot of the steps with pride.
