Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 1295

In the afternoon, Yun Shang was free and met several ministers of the Ministry of Rites in the Taiji Palace.

"The preparations for the Wanshou Festival have begun. I've ordered to prepare all the cups, bowls and dishes." The Minister of Rites held a pamphlet in his hands.

"This is the patterns of bowls and dishes. You can have a look, your majesty."

Qian Zhuo quickly walked over and handed it to Yun Shang.

"This pattern is for his majesty. This is the pattern for His Former Majesty, Her Former Majesty and Your Majety. The others are for the ladies and the ministers. "

As he said, he took out another pamphlet and said, "This is the arrangement of the Wanshou Festival."

"On first day, the courtiers will come to the Palace and the people will also hold a lot of activities to celebrate such as lantern show."

"The second day is his majesty's birthday. There will be a banquet in the Palace. Your majesty will also go to the city tower to accept the people's worship."

"On the third day, there will still be a banquet in the palace, but it's just a banquet in the inner palace. There will be a praying platform in the city, and one hundred and eight monks will be gathered to chant and pray. "

"In addition, all the celebrations in the city will last for three days. The imperial palace will also set up a stage for three days, and the opera will be performed day and night for three days. "

Hearing this, Yun Shang frowned more and more tightly. "Is it too extravagant?"

"Your Majesty, this is the Wanshou Festival. It happens only once a year. Due to the change of the date this year, there was not too much time for preparation, and many things had been simplified. In the past, His Former Majesty's birthday party was even more grand than this. " Yun Shang pursed her lips and still felt that it was inappropriate. "This year is different from before. The war at the border is fierce now, and a lot of food is consumed every day. We shouldn't be so extravagant for a birthday party. His majesty has already seen it? What did your majesty say? "

The Ministry of Rites lowered his eyes and said honestly, "His majesty also said it was too grand. But after careful discussion with other courtiers, I think it's the simplest. It's not appropriate to reduce anything. "

A courtier, who was kneeling far behind the Minister of Rites, said, "His majesty is the emperor of a kingdom. The birthday of the emperor is not just an ordinary celebration. Though it, we could make others see that our country is prosperous and our people are living and working in peace, so as to show the prestige of the country..."

Yun Shang certainly understood this point.

Yun Shang looked at the pamphlet carefully and asked, "Did you mean that the cups, bowls and dishes are being made in the official kiln?"

"The pattern has been sent over. It should be starting."

"These sets will cost a lot, but they can only be seen during banquets in the palace. Besides, there are already so many in the palace that we don't have to make more. It doesn't make much sense. Just cancel it. "

The Minister of Rites was stunned. "But I think they have already made a lot."
