9. Chapter 9: A Hundred Official Banquets Are Shocking 2
Li Yunqing felt a headache for no reason, and pinched the center of his eyebrows. However, he saw Chunfeng, who had gone to report, running over in a hurry.
"Miss, because the two princes got married at the same time, the emperor was delighted to have a banquet for all the ministers at Huaxiang Palace early. Just now, the father-in-law said that if we don't go, it will be too late." Chunfeng looked worried.
"Go to Huaxiang Hall." He ordered calmly.
Chunfeng didn't dare to delay. After he rolled up the bead curtain and let Li Yunqing sit in, he immediately told the bearer to walk faster.
Li Yunqing was calm and composed. It was obvious that Bai Liyi wanted to kill her, right?
He had known about the banquet hosted by the emperor for a long time, but he went to the banquet by himself without telling her.
Now if she is too late, Long Yan will be furious, and she will not die well unless she is quartered by five horses.
Now she can only take one step at a time.
Huaxiang Hall.
Spring has just arrived, and there is still a slight chill in the morning, but it cannot stop the fiery atmosphere.
The roof of the palace is covered with yellow glazed tiles, with green trim and golden dragon columns. It is so spectacular.
Accompanied by a high-pitched sound.
"The Emperor has arrived! The Queen has arrived!"
Everyone in the hall knelt down together.
"I respectfully welcome the Emperor. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Thousand years old! Thousand years ago!"
The majestic momentum echoed throughout the hall.
As the sound got closer, Baili Qizhen, the king of the Cangqiong Kingdom, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, smiled gracefully. Although he was still young, he didn't look too old.
A pair of sharp eyes scanned the kneeling officials. His voice was majestic and he said: "My dear friends, no courtesy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Baili Qizhen stepped onto the steps following Luo Kuo's steps and sat on the golden throne.
Following behind is the current empress Helian Zi, who is dressed in a red robe with golden thorns and five phoenixes. She has three thousand hair tied up in a cross bun with two phoenixes and ivory hairpins in the middle. She is sitting on the side of a golden throne.
The graceful and luxurious image still retains its charm even though it is over forty years old.
Three miles of gorgeous carpets spread the floor, and beauties from all directions gathered.
Everyone at the table was full of heroism, and when they looked at the person in the hall, their expressions were one of unified reverence and worship.
After everyone was seated, Baili Qizhen looked around, frowning slightly, and looked at Baili Xi who was sitting next to him.
He said with a slightly unhappy tone: "Today is the day when the newlyweds come to the palace to serve tea. Why can't I see my new wife? Your Majesty, please tell me, are you dissatisfied with the marriage given by your father, or do you dislike your father?"
Where is the wife I chose for you?"
All the officials were silent, and they all sat upright and looked at Baili Xi, whose expression changed slightly.
Baili Xi raised his deep black eyes, put on his green robe, and his sleeves of sea and sky clouds, and sat on the ground.
Holding her fists slightly, she said in a gentle and calm voice: "Go back to my father. This morning, the imperial concubine felt quite unwell and had difficulty getting up. Although she wanted to go with her, she still felt that her health was too important. I hope that my father will forgive me. I will be the imperial concubine in the future."
When he recovers, he will surely go along with him to plead guilty."
Baili Qizhen's frown softened and he smiled in relief, "Hahaha! What's wrong with the emperor! Being able to be so considerate is really a blessing to the emperor."
Baili Xi lowered his head, and there was something flashing in his eyes that made people unable to catch it, but wanted to take a peek.
The fact is that on the wedding night, he took off Li Shiyan's hijab and went to drink alone to get drunk.
The thought of being manipulated by this woman and having to marry her made me feel resentful, but he had ruined her innocence.
Li Shiyan felt so ashamed that he actually ran to jump into the lake. Fortunately, he was rescued and the news was blocked by him.
