At the New Year's Literary Party, Ao Huang proudly recited the good poems he had received from Fang Yun.
"A year has passed with the sound of firecrackers, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu. Every household is busy replacing the old charms with new ones! How do you... "
Ao Huang raised his head proudly, feeling extremely happy. He was ready to wait for everyone to praise him before saying that it was Fang Yun who did it. However, before he could finish his words, a loud voice came from the sky.
"The Lei family of Jia country violated the Three Rites and went against human ethics..."
Everyone's attention was attracted by the sound of Sanli's condemnation. Under the power of the Holy Way, no one had the mind to think about a poem, even though Ao Huang's identity and status were extraordinary.
After the Holy Voice in the Hall of Ceremony finished speaking, the New Year Literary Party was first silent, and then everyone burst into applause!
"Good! This is the ceremonial hall!"
"I know that I was furious after that incident. The Lei family actually abandoned etiquette and disregarded it. They are simply not human. The Li Palace did a good job!"
“This is the holy temple of the human race! Not the dragon… ahem…” The scholar almost said that it was not the holy temple of the dragon race. He glanced at Ao Huang and lowered his head quickly.
Ao Huang was originally very proud, but after the holy sound of the ritual hall was conveyed, he found that no one praised him and he almost exploded with anger.
Ao Huang stared at the scholar and swore in his heart: "Okay, you said bad things about our dragon clan, didn't you? Remember you! If I see you in a deserted place next time, I will definitely beat you up!"
Ao Huang floated quietly above the writing platform, hoping that things would turn around, but everyone was too excited. The Lei family used Lei Jiu's death to slander Fang Yun, which made everyone angry. Later, they even used that method to insult Jingguo's Xusheng, which made everyone even more united in hatred of the enemy.
Now that the Lei family has been punished by the Holy Academy, it is a matter of great satisfaction to the people, so no one has the energy to care about any literary gathering.
"The three-rite conviction is a serious crime of the highest order. Not to mention the Void Saint Family, even the Semi-Saint Family will have to hand over a Grand Secretary!"
"Yes, the Lei family did not break the law. But in this kind of situation, we ordinary scholars are impolite, but if their big families are used to being impolite, it is likely to cause greater harm! The greater the power, the more it should be restrained by the Three Rites. If there are no rules, the consequences will be disastrous."
"That makes sense."
"The Holy Court is actually quite fair. Last time, you saved Fang Xusheng, and this time, you convicted him with three rites. If the Holy Court does not impose a heavy punishment this time, it will surely lose the support of the people."
Everyone was talking about it. Ao Huang flew out of the New Year's Literary Festival in a huff, ignoring the people behind him shouting, and flew straight to Quanyuan.
Along the way, people kept pointing at Ao Huang in the air and shouting. The children were the most excited and filled with admiration.
Ao Huang's mood gradually improved when he heard everyone's praise and envy.
"You bastards from the Lei family ruined my first time reciting poetry on stage. I will never treat you kindly when I meet the Lei family next time! Damn it. Look at how nice and discerning the people of Jing are. They kept praising me along the way. I feel embarrassed. Hmm. I will fly more often in the capital in the future... No, it's not fresh if I fly too much. I will fly on holidays when there are more people."
As soon as Ao Huang returned to Quan Garden, he went to complain to Fang Yun. He kept nagging for half an hour before leaving.
On the night of New Year's Eve, Fang Yun's family was in great joy, staying up all night to celebrate the New Year. The little fox and Ao Huang were particularly happy, playing with fireworks for half the night. Ao Huang even played with fireworks, which aroused his fighting nature. He held a bundle of large fireworks in his mouth, lit them, and flew into the air to set them off, having a great time.
The Left Prime Minister’s Mansion.
In the second half of the night, the sounds of firecrackers and fireworks gradually subsided.
Liu Zizhi, the second young master of the Liu family, was lying on the bed, worried about his father and unable to fall asleep.
These days, Liu Shan looks obviously older and less energetic than before. Before, Liu Shan only slept for two hours a day, and spent the rest of his time studying and pursuing the holy way. But now, he looks worse after sleeping for three hours a day.
Moreover, Liu Zizhi even saw her father occasionally reveal a sinister look, unlike before when he would never reveal any flaws at any time or place.
After thinking for a long time, Liu Zizhi slowly fell asleep. When she was drowsy, she suddenly heard the loud noises of fireworks and firecrackers being fired above the yard. Then the yard became bright and fireworks bloomed.
"Bang... Bang..."
Liu Zizhi was furious. He turned over and ran out of the door barefoot. The moment he opened the door, a ball of fire flew over and hit him on the forehead.
"Ouch... which bastard set off fireworks randomly?" Liu Zizhi's eyes went dark, his forehead hurt, and a pungent smell of firecrackers rushed into his nose. Fortunately, he was a scholar, if he was an ordinary person, he would probably be knocked unconscious.
The doors of various rooms in the Liu family opened one after another.
When everyone looked up, they saw a ten-foot-long yellow dragon with several bundles of large fireworks and firecrackers in its mouth, and it was firing at the Left Prime Minister's Mansion like a Zhuge Crossbow.
A little fox stands on the dragon's head, holding the dragon's horns with its two claws, stepping on the ink turtle with its left foot, with small meteors circling around it, looking very energetic.
“Oh my!”
Everyone in the capital city knows that Fang Yun's family has a dragon, a fox and a meteor.
The Liu family was furious, but these three were not human beings. If they really started to curse, the Liu family would become a laughing stock. Moreover, Liu Shan was already showing signs of decline. If he angered Prince Huang again, the situation would be even more dangerous.
"Prince Huang, it's New Year's Eve, let us have a good sleep." Liu Zizhi said helplessly.
At this time, Ao Huang had finished releasing his magic. He spit out a mouthful of paper tubes, opened his smoking dragon mouth and cursed, "Go to sleep!" After saying that, he turned around and walked away. Nunu was rolling on the ground laughing, and the Yan Gui was patting the dragon scales with his claws while laughing, and he couldn't stop at all. If it were a real turtle, it would definitely laugh until tears came out.
The entire Liu family was stunned by Ao Huang’s foul language. How could a dignified True Dragon, Prince Huang, curse in public like that
After Ao Huang returned home, he proudly showed off what happened to Fang Yun. Fang Yun laughed and scolded him, "Are you a real dragon or a rogue dragon?"
"Good dragon!" Ao Huang said seriously.
Since the first day of the New Year, there has been an endless stream of people coming to the Fang family to pay New Year's greetings. Fang Yun really didn't want to pay New Year's greetings, but he had to go. He first went to the five major semi-saint families, then to the home of Minister Jiang Hechuan, and finally presented gifts to the Queen Mother and the King outside the imperial palace.
Fang Yun had no other relatives in the capital, so he did not visit other family members in person. He just wrote a New Year's greeting card and asked his servants to send it with gifts, even to the Left Prime Minister's Mansion. However, in the letter to the Left Prime Minister Liu Shan, Fang Yun expressed his deep apologies.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the festive atmosphere was still strong, but Fang Yun began to go to the academy to continue his spring hunting classes and palace examination classes.
Now, when Fang Yun goes out, he must ride in the carriage granted by the palace, and it must be pulled by eighteen horses, the same as the Minister of Culture Jiang Hechuan.
Fang Yun's carriage was slightly inferior to Jiang Hechuan's, but his eighteen horses far exceeded Jiang Hechuan's.
Jiang Hechuan's horse is just the best dragon horse, while Fang Yun's horse is one of the eighteen dragon horses given by the Dragon Palace!
Li Wenying also has six dragon horses, but they are of ordinary bloodline. Fang Yun's dragon horses are pure-blooded dragon horses carefully cultivated by the dragon clan.
Unlike the Jiao clan, every dragon can trace their ancestry back to the bloodline of the Dragon Saint, so the dragon horse can also be considered to be the bloodline of the Dragon Saint.
These dragon horses are creatures between demons and wild beasts. Each of them is capable of fighting against the royal demon commander, while Li Wenying's dragon horses are merely equivalent to demon soldiers.
As soon as the pure-blooded dragon horse arrived at the Fang family, someone from a semi-saint family came to buy it, but was politely declined by Fang Yun.
This kind of pure-blooded dragon horse is not sold in the Dragon Palace, but only given away. Ordinary semi-saint families cannot get it. (To be continued...)
