Dongyue Palace is located in the Imperial Garden and is not large in scale.

When Liu Xia entered, there were already many people in the hall.

For example, the prince, the second prince, the third prince, the fourth prince.

At this moment, there are more than twenty small tables for one person in Dongyue Hall.

The princes and relatives all sit on the right side, and on the other side are the seats for the concubines in the harem.[

In the center of the head is the golden dragon chair, where the queen and emperor sit.

"I am here to meet you, Your Highnesses."

Liu Xia saluted immediately.

"Oh? Prince Weiyuan, please get up quickly."

The prince spoke first.

The prince still had a smile as warm as the spring breeze on his face, and hurriedly helped Liu Xia up and said.

"Haoxuan, I also went to your mansion to look for you, but you were not there. Later I heard that you were being kept behind closed doors. You are quite courageous."

When the second prince came over, he patted Liu Xia on the shoulder and said, looking very cordial.

As for the third and fourth princes, they obviously disdain Liu Xia.

Especially the third prince looked up and stared at Liu Xia.

This puzzled Liu Xia. He didn't offend him even after thinking about it. Could it be that he was jealous that I am more handsome than you?

Therefore, Liu Xia was not polite and glared at him.

The third prince was stunned and turned his head in disdain.

As for the fourth prince, he didn't look at Liu Xia at all, with a bit of impatience on his face.

"Hey, stop talking. I can't go out now. I'm really going crazy these days."

Liu Xia said with a pleasant smile.

"I will beg you for mercy later while my father is happy. Dragons are so fun, what's the point of staying in the house every day?"

The second prince said in an easy-going manner.

"Thank you very much, Second Prince."[

Liu Xia cupped her fists and said.

"You and my brother, why are you so polite?"

The second prince said happily.

The prince, on the other hand, stood aside and said nothing.

Still wearing his warm smile.

This kind of smile makes people feel very lively, as if they are deliberately keeping a distance from you, as if they are a kind of self-protection.

As a prince, I must be under a lot of pressure.

"The Holy One has arrived."

At this time, I suddenly heard Eunuch Chen shouting.

The emperor took the queen and seven concubines into the main hall.

Liu Xia and a group of princes hurriedly baptized.

Today, the emperor seemed to be in a particularly good mood. He waved his hands with a smile on his face and said, "Let's spend this life."

Immediately, everyone began to take their seats.

Liu Xia was sitting next to the fourth prince, and then he raised his head and glanced at the emperor's concubines.

The queen sitting next to the emperor looks very young, about in her early forties, beautiful and dignified, with a faint smile on her face. However, her pair of red and phoenix eyes are not angry and intimidating, and she is somewhat dignified by the world.

When the momentum.

She is the biological mother of the prince.

Among the concubines on the opposite side, there are many who are fat and thin. They cannot be said to be of heavenly beauty, but they all have their own characteristics. As expected, being the emperor will bring beauty and blessings.

However, the youngest princess among them was only in her thirties, and she should be the biological mother of the fourth prince.

The harem of Tianji Dynasty is divided into queens, imperial concubines, noble concubines, concubines, etc.

Only those who give birth to a prince or princess for the emperor are eligible to become a royal concubine.

Therefore, there are only five imperial concubines in total.

Presumably, this emperor also has a princess.[

However, Liu Xia has never seen it.

"Princess Chang'an said."

Outside the door, the eunuch announced.

At this time, Princess Changping entered the hall.

When she entered the hall, the magnificent hall instantly lost its color.

The eldest princess who came in was wearing an ocher-yellow princess robe and a crown with nine phoenixes in the sky. She was noble and elegant.

She immediately saluted the emperor and the many concubines, and many of the concubines immediately stood up and returned the courtesy to him.

However, with her appearance, all the women in the hall lost their luster.

"Sit down."

The emperor waved his hands and said.

After the eldest princess sat down, the emperor smiled lightly and said: "Haoxuan has been in Longdu for a while. I have always wanted to help him, but because of the pirates in southern Xinjiang, I have no time to spare. In recent days, there has been a great victory in southern Xinjiang.

, I am very happy. Haoxuan, you are indeed my blessed general. As soon as you come, southern Xinjiang will be pacified. Today, you must drink a few more glasses."

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and the little pirates are not worth mentioning."

Liu Xia stood up quickly and said.

"My son, I congratulate my father. May our Tianji Dynasty enjoy eternal peace."

At this moment, the prince also stood up hurriedly, raised his wine glass and said.

"My sons and ministers also congratulate my father."

Immediately, all the princes stood up.

"Okay, very good. It's rare that you are interested, please sit down."

Immediately, after a few glasses of wine, there was singing and dancing to add to the fun, and the concubines in the harem frequently toasted to the emperor.

The atmosphere was also very lively, but Liu Xia felt that something was missing.

I was meeting the Yun Sect before. During the Chinese New Year, the parents of the children of the sect would go up the mountain to visit them. They would see their family sitting there, chatting and laughing. They had a loving father and mother, which was very warm.

However, here, although everyone looks very happy, they feel that there is something between everyone.

They are very polite to each other, like a family there?

Sure enough, this imperial family cannot be compared with ordinary people.

Liu Xia was sitting there, and the crown prince and the second prince all toasted. Although the fourth prince looked down upon him, he also raised his glass to toast.

The third prince, on the other hand, turned a deaf ear to Liu Xia.

Halfway through the banquet, the fourth prince asked abruptly: "Third brother, I heard that you recently acquired a master, is it true?"

"Who are you talking about?"

"Of course it's the swordsman from Dongji Island. I heard that his swordsmanship is superb, which is very different from our Central Plains martial arts."

"Oh, you mean Pu Yunfei?"

"Yes, yes, his last name is very weird, so I can't always remember it."

"His swordsmanship is indeed superb. None of the previous masters in my palace are his opponents. I think I will definitely win this year's Qiu Wei."

The third prince said proudly.

"That's not necessarily true. Haven't you heard that a master like the Protector was beaten to the point of vomiting blood by Prince Weiyuan? With him here, you can't even hope to win."

The fourth prince said.

"Hmph, the three-legged cat's kung fu is not worth mentioning."

The third prince said disdainfully.

"Third brother, just brag. If you have the ability, why don't you let the two of them compete? Otherwise, what you say now is all nonsense."

The fourth prince said disdainfully.

When Liu Xia heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
