News of the great victory at the border quickly spread throughout the capital.
During the battle between Bin and Rong, Rong's country prospered and envoys from various countries came to congratulate him.
Emperor Long Xin was overjoyed and held a congratulatory banquet. Before the congratulatory banquet, he hurriedly settled Xia Yanyan's funeral affairs and buried her as a princess, thus saving her last face.
The summer was hot, so the emperor chose Ruyang Palace as the place for the banquet.
Ruyang Palace was built by the late emperor in his later years. It is located near mountains and rivers, with Qianjiang River passing through the foot of the mountains.
It is said that there are hot springs in the mountain, and behind the mountain is a royal enclosure.
Wen Ranran sat in the carriage and dozed off with her head on Xia Lishuang's shoulder.
The air outside the city was much fresher. Wen Ranran followed Xia Lishuang and lived in Tinghua Pavilion in the side hall.
"My father will hold a banquet at Yunyue Pond later. If you are tired, you can take a nap first. I will ask you to get up and freshen up at that time!"
Xia Lishuang couldn't help but laugh when she saw Wen Ranran couldn't open her eyes.
Wen Ranran nodded.
I slept until the end of the moon.
Wen Ranran put on her makeup carefully and found that her skin was much whiter. She couldn't be called a fat jade, at least it could be regarded as a white jade.
Looking at her makeup, she was quite satisfied.
Behind her, Qiu He was wearing the bright red coat given by the queen and was about to help her put it on.
Wen Ranran pointed at the clothes and said, "Let's change to another one!"
Qiu He was puzzled, "Ah? Is this rewarded by the Queen herself?"
"Change to a crimson set." Wen Ranran couldn't refuse.
Of course she could see what Empress Tao was thinking, but she didn't know about the gold collar, nor did she know that Xia Lishuang had already had points deducted in front of the emperor.
If she wears the clothes of a royal concubine openly, wouldn't it be embarrassing if the emperor is dissatisfied?
Wen Ranran stuck out her tongue and changed into a less conspicuous crimson large-sleeved shirt.
As soon as he went out, he saw Xia Lishuang dressed in purple, and she looked even more handsome and handsome, with starry eyebrows and sharp eyes.
When I saw her, I was startled for a moment, then laughed.
Wen Ranran lowered her head and looked at her skirt, "What? Doesn't it look good?"
Xia Lishuang shook her head and whispered in Wen Ranran's ear, "It's just so beautiful..."
On weekdays, Wen Ranran is carefree and informal, and dresses as conveniently as possible. It is rare that she dresses up like this.
Suddenly she saw the little fox dressed in red and walking on the moon. Xia Lishuang's heartbeat couldn't help but beat a few beats faster.
Holding Wen Ranran's hand, Xia Lishuang took the lead.
When the two arrived at the banquet, most people had already taken their seats.
The state of Rong occupied one side, the state of Bin, the state of Lan, and the state of Yan each occupied another side.
When the two people appeared at the door, they caused quite a bit of exclamation.
Wen Ranran had no interest in paying attention to this, but as soon as she sat down, she felt a shocked gaze.
Looking towards the source of his gaze, he turned out to be an envoy from the Lan Kingdom dressed in foreign clothes.
Hmm? Does she know him??
Wen Ranran was a little strange.
The so-called banquet is nothing more than compliments, bragging and drinking.
Rong Guo's force deterrence this time can be said to be very successful. Not only Bin Guo learned well this time and behaved with his tail between his legs, but Lan Guo was also extremely cautious and did not dare to make any mistakes.
After drinking for three rounds, Xia Lishuang stood up and bowed her hands to the emperor who was sitting on the table.
"I'm very happy today, I...I want to ask for a favor from my father!"
Wen Ranran was stunned, what kind of wind did Xia Lishuang get?
The emperor sipped his wine and said, "It doesn't matter what I say, Lao Qi!"
"My son wants to...make Ran Ran the royal concubine!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Not far away from Xia Liyuan, there was the sound of a cup being knocked over...
No... At this time, my husband...
Wen Ranran's face turned a little red.
There was silence.
Xia Lishuang bowed and waited quietly for the next step.
At this moment, it seems that time has stood still.
At the critical moment, Wen Changjin stood up with his sleeves raised.
"Your Majesty, I think... my little girl Ran Ran is naughty by nature. She grew up in the mountains and doesn't understand palace matters. Being the concubine of Prince Yu is already a favor from the emperor. I don't dare to ask for anything else!"
Wen Ranran stiffened and looked at Wen Changjin who was speaking.
Wen Changjin's posture was respectful and his face was serious, and it didn't look like he was simply trying to shirk.
Dad's ears are full of gunpowder, and his words suddenly sound so ugly?
