Luo Ling would also go along. This time Shen Xin intended to find a job for Luo Ling in the Ministry of War and it was considered as training his ability. Before that, naturally he would bring Luo Ling to familiarize himself with some of his colleagues, so that he would be able to help in the future.
In these three days of waiting, Shen Miao would listen to Jing Zhe and Gu Yu inquiring about the matters that happened in these three years, treating it as a plaything. But what made her surprised was that the Feng Xian Pawnshop in the capital closed not long after Shen Xin went to the Xiao Chun City. One did not know why it only reopened a few days ago, and it was said that the shopkeeper had gone on a long journey and had just returned to the Ding capital.
When Feng An Ning knew that she had returned, she sent someone to send a letter saying that she wanted to personally look for Shen Miao but since they would meet at the tribute banquet, there was no need to make this trip. Other than Feng An Ning, Su Ming Lang also gave her an invitation. The words were crooked and he had his servant send it over behind the back of the residence, making Shen Miao not know whether to laugh or cry.
Just like that, he accompanied Luo Tan to the restaurants and in the blink of an eye, it was already the tribute ceremony three days later.
Ming Qi's tribute was a major event for the entire dynasty and early in the morning, the bells and drums of Southern Hill rang.
The peddlers on the street were also discussing this matter. However, due to the laws of the royal family, the common people could not enter the palace. They could only listen to the sounds and movements outside the palace walls. Most people envied the families of the officials. The families of the officials could enter the palace. If the officials were a bit higher, they could even attend the tribute banquet.
Looking at the luxurious banquet, it always gave people the illusion that it was a time of prosperity and prosperity. The commoners were always very simple. They only saw what was in front of them and felt that this Ming Qi's rivers and mountains would be able to continue on for generations to come. There were very few intelligent people who could see that the external enemies were not cleared and the internal troubles were intensifying. It was only a precarious state and even if one had given face, how could one really sit back and relax?
Shen Xin's carriage stopped at the gates of the Palace and there were already palace servants waiting outside to lead them in. Luo Tan looked around curiously and was pressed down by Shen Qiu to prevent her from offending the nobles in the Palace. Luo Ling on the other hand appeared to be very steady. Even though it was his first time entering the Palace, he did it properly.
When it was time for the ceremony, most of the civil and military officials had arrived. The sound of beating drums, playing music, and a hundred salutes shot into the sky. It was grand and dignified, with an impressive heavenly might.
The Emperor and Empress sat high up on the main seat. Shen Miao looked up and saw that Emperor Wen Hui was wearing a dragon robe and had a dignified expression. In a trance, there was no difference from two years ago. However, if one were to take a closer look, one would notice that he had to be supported by his eunuch as he walked. His footsteps were not as strong as before, and he had aged quite a bit.
Fu Xiu Yi followed the other princes and stood at the side. Now that his elegance was growing, he was extremely outstanding among the princes. He was the youngest one and now that he was so handsome and slender, it caused many of the high ranking female officials to secretly look over. In the end, Fu Xiu Yi had reached the point where he could not even hide his brilliance. It seemed that his brothers were not as assured as they were in the beginning.
Shen Miao also looked towards Fu Xiu Yi's direction, but the place where her eyes landed was behind Fu Xiu Yi, was the green robed man among the court officials. That person's temperament was aloof and out of the world, and among the court officials, there was a sense of awkwardness that was out of place. He did not look like an official, but more like a scholar. It was Pei Lang.
The place where Pei Lang was standing was not far behind Fu Xiu Yi. In such an occasion, with Fu Xiu Yi's cautious attitude, it was obvious that he was relying on and trusting Pei Lang, thus he gave Pei Lang such a big face. As if he was aware of the gaze, Fu Xiu Yi suddenly turned his head over. Shen Miao's eyes moved and did not stop for even a moment. Fu Xiu Yi looked at the crowd for a moment before turning his head over.
