Chapter 399 Tianxuan: You are worse than a clown!

New Year's Eve.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
It has a long history, and evolved from the annual prayers and sacrifices in ancient times. All things come from heaven, and people come from their ancestors. Praying for the new year and offering sacrifices, respecting heaven and following ancestors, are all ways to repay the original roots and return to the beginning.

The origin of the festival contains profound cultural connotations, and the inheritance and development carry rich historical and cultural heritage. During this period, each family will hold various celebrations, most of which are mainly about worshiping gods and Buddhas, paying homage to ancestors, getting rid of the old and bringing in the new, welcoming the New Year and praying for a good harvest.

As an empire that has unified the world, the celebrations held to celebrate the arrival of the New Year, to send away the bad luck accumulated in the previous year, and to welcome the great vitality of the new year are extraordinary.

As night fell, war drums were erected in the white marble square in front of the Sihai Guiyi Hall. Strong and muscular warriors, holding drumsticks, began to beat the war drums as night fell. The passionate drum sounds echoed inside and outside the white marble square, creating a magnificent atmosphere.

"The king of Qin swept Liuhe, how magnificent it is for a tiger to look at him.

Swing your sword to cut through the floating clouds, and all the princes will come to the west.

A clear judgment comes from the apocalypse, and it is easy to drive a group of talents.

Withdraw the troops and forge the golden man, and open the Hangu Pass to the east!"

The Sihai Guiyi Hall, where the government affairs were discussed and the direction of the empire was decided in the past, was decorated as a festive hall. A team of beautiful dancers in thin gauze clothes waved their dance belts and sang the poem that Tianxuan wrote for Zhengge to the accompaniment of the war drums outside the hall.

The majestic verses demonstrate the unparalleled ambition of Emperor Zheng Ge, the first emperor, who seemed to want to repeat the glorious days when the Qin State conquered the six eastern kingdoms.

"it is good!"

"What a majestic tiger look!"

"Swinging swords to cut through the floating clouds, all the princes are coming to the west? It is true that all the princes are coming to the west!"

……

Princes of the empire, such as Fusu and Tianxuan, along with civil and military officials such as Li Si, Wang Wan, Feng Quji, and Wang Jian, all qualified to attend the court, had a seat in the Sihai Guiyi Hall at that time. Some court officials who had children who had not yet married brought their children with them, hoping to find a good match for their children at the celebration of the New Year.

On this day of universal celebration, most people put aside their cumbersome etiquette and admired the performances.

Ding dong! Ding dong! Ding dong!

After the dancers who sang the poem written by Tian Xuan left, another group of musicians came forward. The zither, harp, and other string instruments began to play. The melodies played by different instruments blended together perfectly, like the sound of a spring, creating a veritable sound of nature, as if to create a prosperous scene.

Gulu!

In his previous life, Tianxuan had little interest in singing and dancing, but he loved this kind of stringed instrument. The beautiful melody echoing in his ears made Tianxuan narrow his eyes slightly, intoxicated by the notes, and he brought the wine bottle filled with fine wine to his lips and drank it all in one heroic gulp.

"Fourth brother, I'll toast you a glass."

Suddenly, a seemingly harmless and innocent voice sounded beside Tianxuan's ears. Tianxuan opened his eyes and saw a face full of innocence.

The eighteenth prince, Hu Hai!
Hu Hai, who had a pair of heterochromatic pupils and a tuft of golden hair on his forehead, was holding a wine jar in his hand and looking at Tian Xuan, as if he was full of curiosity about this brother who had just returned. As he spoke, he handed over the wine jar in his hand.

"Haha!" Although Tianxuan didn't know why Lady Mingzhu, Hu Hai's mother, was so hostile to him, this did not prevent him from considering the mother and son as enemies. Looking at the wine bottle handed over by Hu Hai, Tianxuan instantly guessed what he wanted to do, sneered, and reached out to take the wine bottle from Hu Hai's hand.

Bang!

Before Tianxuan's fingers touched the wine bottle in Hu Hai's hand, Hu Hai's palm suddenly loosened, and the full bottle of wine fell on his clothes. The empty wine bottle fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, successfully attracting the attention of the people around.

"Fourth brother, you must have been careless." Hu Hai, whose clothes were wet, had tears in his eyes and cried like an ordinary child, "I didn't mean to dirty the new clothes my mother made for me!"

As he spoke, tears welled up in Hu Hai's eyes like pearls from a broken string.

Tianxuan's background was exposed, he was the fourth son of Zhengge. At this year's festival, he sat with Jianglu, the high-ranking sons, and the unmarried princesses. Although Hu Hai's noise attracted the attention of all the brothers and sisters, the eyes that fell on Hu Hai did not even touch them at all.

Gulu!

Tian Xuan poured himself another glass of fine wine, drank it in one gulp, and watched Hu Hai's one-man show with cold eyes. Seeing that his brothers and sisters, who were dressed in luxurious clothes, handsome men and beautiful women, and lingering noble charm, were not confused by Hu Hai's clumsy performance, he said cheerfully: "Eighteenth brother, do you know what you look like in my eyes?"

"like what?"

Hu Hai wanted to show Tian Xuan a warning, but unexpectedly, none of his brothers and sisters around him paid any attention to him. When Tian Xuan said this, Hu Hai wiped the tears from his cheeks, looked up at Tian Xuan, no longer innocent and pure, a hint of malice appeared in his eyes, and asked back.

"Just like that clown!"

At this time, a clown dressed in strange clothes came into the hall, and was making people laugh with all kinds of funny actions. Tianxuan stretched out a finger, pointed at the clown with a smile on his face, and commented.

"you!"

Hearing Tianxuan's words, Hu Hai, whose comical performance was ignored, looked resentful and clenched his fists, wishing he could pounce on Tianxuan and fight him to the death.

“No,” Tianxuan could see that Hu Hai also knew martial arts, but his cultivation level of the second realm of martial arts: Kaiyuan realm, was not worthy of his attention at all. “You are not even as good as a clown. At the very least, a clown can make people laugh, but you don’t even have the ability to make people laugh!”

puff!

Although Hu Hai looked innocent all day long, everyone in the palace knew what kind of person he really was. However, because Zheng Ge liked his appearance and his mother, Lady Mingzhu, was Zheng Ge's favorite concubine, others tolerated him. Jian Tianxuan did not take Hu Hai seriously at all and belittled him to the point that he was even worse than a clown.

Jianglu, the nobles and princesses all felt relieved. As soon as Tianxuan finished speaking, Princess Yangzi couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The laughter seemed to be contagious, and the others laughed out loud one after another. When they cast their eyes on Hu Hai, they were full of ridicule from the bottom of their hearts. In an instant, Hu Hai felt like a clown, becoming the object of ridicule for these brothers and sisters.

"what!"

Amid the shrill laughter, Hu Hai finally exploded. With a scream, he turned and ran out of the hall.

Swish!
The atmosphere in the hall was lively. Zheng Ge, who was sitting on the dragon throne, had long noticed the small conflict between his children, but he had no intention of intervening. Hu Hai left in anger, and no one paid any attention to him. Only Tian Xuan noticed that when Hu Hai ran out of the Sihai Guiyi Hall, he glanced into the hall, and there was only ferocious hatred inside!
