Chapter 32 Banquet

His uncle's dinner party was really just a dinner party. The sun had set and the main characters hadn't even arrived yet.

If they had known this, they wouldn't have come three or four hours in advance. Of course, the most miserable ones were the ladies. The makeup effect of rouge and gouache was not long enough. They sat here for a long time, getting oily and sweaty, and they were careful when they went out.

The makeup you created has long been worn out.

Even Liu Yunyao and Song Lanshu could not avoid such embarrassment. They went to the clean room to remove their makeup and simply touched up their makeup.

But I don’t dare to put all my face powder on it anymore, it’s really a lot of trouble.

During this period, Princess Su came over with Prince Su, who was only six or seven years old. Her face looked slightly embarrassed and her eyes were red. Prince Su, who was holding her hand, was yelling and making a fuss.

King Su's face became even more ugly. He scolded him in a low voice and asked the palace maid to lead them to their seats.

King Qin's family, whom Lan Xi had muttered about earlier, also arrived, but Zhan Chen was not among the four people who came.

The tall and handsome man inside should be the King of Qin. He is indeed good-looking. Although the princess is as beautiful as ever, she is noticeably thinner and has a sickly appearance.

On the other side of King Qin stood a beautiful woman with a peach-like face. The slightly haggard princess was so rendered that her three-point sick look became eight-point.

Lan Xi was a little worried for her. The palace couldn't afford to hire a medical officer, so why didn't the princess' health improve for a long time?

Moreover, who is the little boy that the princess is holding? That bastard?

Why didn't Zhan Chen come?

It seems that Zhan Chen’s injury is not as simple as Butler Shun said!

Lan Xi had too many questions in her mind, but as soon as Prince Qin's family appeared, they were surrounded by everyone. It was hard for her to go over and talk to the princess now.

After another quarter of an hour, there seemed to be some tacit understanding in the audience. No one gathered to discuss anymore, and everyone sat back down in their original positions with dignified manners.

Finally, the hero of this party has arrived.

First, a group of eunuchs and maids cleared the way. A eunuch swinging a whisk entered the palace first and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has arrived!"

After the eunuch finished speaking, he shook his fly whisk and retreated to the roadside, bowing to give way.

After a breath, a handsome man wearing a bright yellow dragon robe embroidered with gold silk, a purple gold crown with hair tied on his head, thick eyebrows and deep eyes, walked out of the hall.

This is the Emperor Zhan Heng.

Everyone stood up and saluted, shouting "long live the mountain".

Lan Xi then lay down on the ground and secretly looked at the person coming.

Except for the emperor who was walking at the front, he was accompanied by the queen and the imperial concubine on both sides, followed by the prince who was also wearing a golden uniform, and then followed by several younger princes and princesses.

Today, the Queen is wearing a bright red embroidered gold peony palace robe that stretches to the floor, decorated with countless pearls and flowers. In the center of her bun is a golden phoenix holding a pearl in its mouth. Her movements are full of grace and majesty.

.

The imperial concubine on the other side is holding a jade-faced fan, wearing a light purple wide-sleeved pleated skirt, lined with smoke pink butterfly tube top, and a touch of light blue smoke gauze with black silk clouds and a jade hairpin inserted diagonally.

Her tenderness and graceful manner, her eyes full of spring water, and her every frown and smile touch the heart and soul.

After several people gathered around and sat down, the emperor glanced at everyone and told everyone not to be polite, and then everyone stood up and returned to their seats.

So majestic!

Lan Jiu raised his eyebrows at Lan Xi. Young people like him like this kind of majestic and domineering scenes the most. It would be better if the person being respected and worshiped is himself.

Lan Xi pursed her lips and suppressed a smile. Her third brother usually seemed aloof, but in fact he was well-organized in his dealings with the world. But looking at him today, he was still a young boy after all.

"When you become a general in the future, you will be so majestic!"

Lan Xi opened her mouth and wished her third brother silently. Lan Jiu smiled happily and gave her a thumbs up, imitating his lip language.

"You still have vision!"

The emperor's seat was too far away from them, so they couldn't hear clearly what he said, so he raised his glass to everyone.

The ministers in the front bowed their hands in flattery, and those sitting in the back also reacted and raised their glasses together.

Lan Xi watched Song Qinnian move with the crowd. This behavior was similar to following the crowd, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

His father has been doing well in the past two years, but in the end he can only take them so far away. A few years ago, they might not even be qualified to sit under the roof.

The ancient imperial power...

Lan Xi looked at the cold food on the table that was not allowed to be eaten before but could not be eaten now, and sighed softly.

After three drinks, the banquet finally got down to business.

A gift!

The queen seemed to have said something and asked a little palace maid to come in with a tray. The emperor patted her hand and said a few words in reply. The queen then sat back with a smile. Then the prince stood up and came to the front of the emperor to salute.

Lan Xi raised her head and looked worried.

This was the disadvantage of sitting far back. She could only get a vague idea of ​​what was going on in front of him.

Lan Xi was very curious, but everyone at the place where the incident occurred was not in a good mood at this time.

The prince has been kneeling for more than ten breaths, but His Majesty has not yet asked him to stand up. Those present who noticed this felt uneasy in their hearts.

Your Majesty, does he really dislike the prince?

Zhan Xi, who was kneeling on the ground, was anxiously waiting for his father's response, as if he was waiting for his unknown fate shrouded in thick fog.

He felt that he was being looked at with all kinds of eyes by everyone. As a prince, he lost all face in front of so many courtiers.

He went into the mountains to hunt the wolf with his own hands, removed its best hair, and spent several days and nights grinding the ivory into a penholder with his own hands. From the beginning to the end, he never used his own hands.

He worked so hard to make this wolf-hair pen just to get his attention. Why was his father dissatisfied with it?

Is he dissatisfied with the pen, or is he dissatisfied with his son?

Father, did you do this to me on purpose?

Zhan Xi buried his head, not wanting anyone to see the embarrassed look on his face.

"Your Majesty, as a sign of filial piety, Xi'er made this wolf-hair pen with her own hands. Wouldn't it just replace the worn one in your hand?"

The queen came out to smooth things over for her son, but she didn't know where he had offended the emperor.

"Yes, my pen has been used all day long to mark the court. Now I have a new pen, which can be used just in time."

The emperor spoke calmly, finally willing to expose it, but there was no emotion or anger in his voice, but rather something meaningful.

He knew that the prince did not have this intention, but was just trying to beat the group of gods and ghosts behind him.

The emperor casually picked up the ivory pen and looked straight at the ministers behind the prince.

"Prince, it's not time to replace my pen. When it really doesn't work anymore, it won't be too late to replace it with a new one. You don't have to be too impatient."

As soon as these words came out, no one could understand what they meant, and everyone on the scene broke into a cold sweat.

Zhan Xi, who was lying on the ground, had his eyelids twitching and his whole body stiffened. He didn't mean it at all. His father had misunderstood him.

It feels like my heroine is on the front line of eating melons every day...

Ha ha!!

I feel like the next chapter will be blocked!

It’s really not intentional, it’s written, it’s just like that...
Chapter completed!
