Chapter Eleven: Banquet
Half a month passed in a flash, and the prince and the crown prince followed one after another.
Xi Luo and Liuli cleaned up for a while and entered the palace in the afternoon. As soon as they entered the palace, Xi Luo was surrounded by layers of ministers. Liuli was not interested in these things, and she didn't have to find a quiet place to stroll alone.
After passing through a small bamboo forest, there was a lake. Everyone was preparing for the banquet or greeting each other. No one came here, and the glass was quiet.
This is the first time I walked into the palace openly. I didn’t fly in late at night before. I knew it was a secret guard, but no one dared to stop him. But I came very quickly. This time, the formal procedures were quite strict, and the weapons were also removed. Liuli held the empty belt around her waist. She was sick. It was really uncomfortable to have no weapons to be with her. However, as a secret guard, Liuli’s weapon could not have only a clear sword.
The scenery of the palace is still very good. Although I have been here many times, I have not enjoyed it because it was night and it was just for the task. The scenery of the palace is different from the mountains, rivers, or pavilions and courtyards outside. It is more exquisite and luxurious, fully showing its nobility, and it is also willing to show its noble side to people. Take this lake as an example, a cobblestone path along the pond, and there are rockery on both sides of the road. A long corridor appears in the middle of the road, connecting to the pavilion in the middle of the lake. Liuli is now sitting in the pavilion, looking at the fish in the lake.
Although luxurious, no matter how big the palace is, it is only three feet high, and the fish can only stay in this lake of death until death comes. How can the bird be free? Liuli raised her head. Now she has stepped into the palace with half her foot, she is considered a fish or a bird.
Suddenly Liuli turned around and looked at the luxurious man walking down the corridor, without moving. The man was dressed in luxurious clothes and was extraordinary. When Liuli suddenly looked back at him, she was not surprised and walked into the pavilion with a smile on her face.
"Why are the girl here alone?" The man naturally sat down in the pavilion.
Liuli didn't say anything, and the man didn't care. He quietly looked at the scenery by the lake.
The man sat quietly on the side, but he had a unique aura, which was impossible to ignore even if he didn't make a sound. Liuli did not reject his existence, and the two of them had been sitting like this for a long time.
When the banquet was about to begin, the man said again: "The banquet is about to begin, are you going to the venue together?" It was a question, but there was an inexplicable majesty and dared that people would not refuse.
Liuli didn't want to refuse, and just happened to go over, so she nodded. The two walked out of the corridor side by side and headed to the venue together.
Many officials have already taken the seats in the compound where the venue is located, and there are also constant streams of people entering the venue at the door. After all, the prince’s ceremony and the ceremony were naturally very grand.
When the two were about to arrive, Liuli separated from him first. Although the man did not indicate his identity, he was like a person in the palace and was dressed so luxuriously. It was not necessarily a royal relative. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it would be better to stay away. The man didn't care and walked straight to the venue. The ministers who were greeting beside him saluted one after another. The man nodded, entered the garden, and walked up the seat.
Liuli glanced a few times and found Xi Luo's location. She appeared behind Xi Luo quietly. Xi Luo smiled at her and didn't ask her what she was doing.
Although Xi Luo is the third prince, he has already been crowned as the king, so he does not sit with the princes, but he is also a seat. Liuli stood quietly behind Xi Luo, wearing a dark red skirt, but she forced herself to minimize her presence. On the contrary, she is both peerless and charming, but she is born under the sun and a person born to hide in the darkness.
With the arrival of the emperor and the prince, everyone calmed down and the banquet began.
In addition to various blessings to the prince, gifts, speeches of the prince, and performances of some female family members. Now the prince already has a family, a princess and a few concubines. The emperor talked to everyone about family matters, and the banquet was so boring.
I don’t know why I talked about the topic and talked about everyone’s family. The emperor looked at Xi Luo with a kind smile and said, “Luoer, do you have any girl from any family?”
"Go back to Father," Xi Luo stood up, "Luo just returned to Beijing and had no intention of getting married. He just wanted to share his worries for his father."
"Hehe" the emperor smiled: "You are not young anymore, it's time to get married."
"I didn't see my father looking for a wife for my son, but my father was partial." A voice came up, and everyone looked at me. It was the eleventh prince Xi Feng who spoke.
"Haha, my Eleventh One has grown up and wants to find a wife," the emperor smiled, "but who is the woman I like."
"This is not yet. If there is a father, you must give your son a marriage immediately." Eleven thought for a while and said. Everyone laughed, the Eleventh Prince was also cute.
The emperor was also kind, "The fourth grade is almost eight out of ten, so it's time to start a family."
"Go back to Father, I already have a woman I like." A fourth prince Xi Rui, who sat in the back, stood up, and it was the man Liuli met in the pavilion.
"Oh? Which family is the woman from?" the emperor became interested and raised his eyebrows and asked. The fourth prince now has a lot of power in the court, and the queen is also supporting him behind his back. I don't know which court official's daughter the woman he likes.
"Return to Father, I just met her today. I fell in love at first sight and haven't expressed my love yet." Xi Rui looked up and glanced at Liuli's direction, and continued: "I hope my father will bless her and let her marry her home as soon as possible."
Liuli's hand was suddenly grabbed by Xi Luo. "I met in the pavilion." Liuli said softly, Xi Luo shook it for a moment, and then returned to his original position calmly.
"Hahaha, you young people like to find your beloved woman. Or, as my father, I hope that your family will be harmonious and the fourth brother will marry the woman you like home as soon as possible." In peaceful times, there were no obvious contradictions in the court, and the emperors of the princes did not interfere in the marriage, and let them follow their own ideas.
"Thank you, Father."
Everyone chatted for a long time before the banquet ended. Then they said goodbye to each other and returned home.
