As soon as these words came out, the expressions of several noble ladies in Dayong changed.
King Jing, who was sitting on the horse, frowned: "Although we are getting married, we are also guests from afar. Is this how Dongyou treats guests?"
Huangfu Liyuan looked at the man who came to report, and said calmly: "According to Dongyou etiquette, tonight we should hold a banquet in the palace to entertain the envoys of Yong Dynasty, and give them a cleansing ceremony. There is no reason to keep the guests out.
.”
Immediately, the man looked embarrassed: "I am serving the Queen's order..."
"We must enter the city tonight." Huangfu Liyuan said in a cold voice, "Send someone back to tell the Queen that blocking the guests outside the imperial city violates the original intention of the two countries' reconciliation and is against the rules."
The man who came on horseback looked troubled: "The Queen said that the envoys can enter the palace, and a banquet has been held in the palace -"
Huangfu Liyuan frowned: "You should have understood what I said."
The man's voice paused.
"The distinguished guests from Yong Dynasty have come from afar, so there is absolutely no reason to block them from the door." Huangfu Liyuan waved his hand, "Let him go! I will bear all the consequences."
General Wang Huangfu Liyuan held heavy troops, and when he gave an order, no one dared to disobey him.
The soldiers blocking the city gate stepped aside one after another to let the carriages and horses enter the city.
Yun Zishu was sitting on the carriage and had no special reaction. However, Leng Yue couldn't bear the grievance: "Is Queen Dongyou trying to show off to His Highness? The mother of a country is so generous, which shows that the Dongyou royal family is nothing more than this."
Yun Zishu smiled lightly: "I've already done this once in Dayong, so it's not surprising."
Dongyou was originally a powerful country, and the only prince was her biological son. Although he had been abandoned for more than twenty years, in the eyes of this queen, everyone in the world was a parent, let alone an emperor and empress who had the power of life and death.
The crown prince should be grateful when he is found. As the future crown princess and the queen's daughter-in-law, she should be gentle, virtuous, respectful, and even submissive.
It's a pity that this time she made the wrong calculation. She was very, very wrong.
Neither Sicang nor Yun Zishu was someone she could control, and her aggressive move was in the wrong place.
Both sides of the long street were lined with people watching the excitement, and the procession drove all the way towards the palace. Emperor Dongyou had already prepared a palace banquet, and officials from the Ministry of Rites and other officials were waiting outside the palace gate to welcome the envoys into the palace.
A long red carpet was spread from the palace gate to His Majesty the Palace.
The formation is vast and majestic.
Dongyou's ceremony official led the way, and Yun Zishu walked in the center of the red carpet as the princess-in-law, step by step, slowly and dignifiedly, and her demeanor as a legitimate princess was clearly revealed at this moment.
The four nuns following behind them also strictly followed the etiquette of the royal family without any mistakes, and were followed respectfully by two long rows of maids behind them.
On both sides of the red carpet, King Jing, Feng Ci and Sicang were closely guarded by their guards.
Outside the Chongzheng Hall, there were many imperial guards.
A high-pitched voice sounded: "Dayong and his direct princess and envoys have arrived——"
"The emperor has called, please marry your true princess and bring your ministers into the palace!"
Enter the palace and see the ceremony.
Once the process was smooth and concise, Huangfu Liyuan stood in the main hall and saluted respectfully: "I have fulfilled my mission and successfully welcomed Princess Dayong to Dongyou for marriage. The auspicious day was not delayed and no trouble was caused."
"Thank you for your hard work, General." The emperor smiled faintly, his eyes falling on Yun Zishu's face, "Princess Dayong is indeed noble and extraordinary, with a calm demeanor, worthy of my Crown Prince Dongyou."
Yun Zishu nodded slightly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Little Wang Yunye, the fifth prince of Dayong, titled King Jing, brought his envoy from Dayong to see His Majesty the Emperor today." King Jing saluted calmly, "This time, on the order of my emperor, I am escorting my sister here.
, I hope Dayong and Dongyou will coexist peacefully from now on and be reconciled forever."
"Your Royal Highness Princess Dongyou has worked hard! King Jing has worked hard." His Majesty the Emperor is a middle-aged man sitting on the high throne, wearing a black dragon robe, with cold and majestic features. "Princess, please sit down, King Jing and all the envoys."
Please sit down, please."
Everyone sat down politely.
After King Jing took the seat first, Feng Ci and Dongyou envoy sat in the first row, Yun Zishu sat in the second row, and the other four women sat quietly in the third row behind her.
What followed was an exchange between Emperor Dongyou and Dayong's envoys. They came and went, maintaining the superficial courtesy and enthusiasm.
Yun Zishu calmly raised her head and glanced at Emperor Dongyou. At first glance, she felt that His Majesty the Emperor looked familiar. After a closer look, she realized... Well, Si Cang does look a bit like him.
Yun Zishu couldn't help but think of Sicang. He was also among the envoys. Did anyone notice him?
"I heard that Princess Hui of Great Yong has a beautiful heart and beautiful face. When I saw her today, she is indeed well-deserved." A woman's voice sounded from directly in front, with a faint sense of oppression and no distinction between joy and anger, "Don't blame my son.
I will not marry anyone who is not the direct princess."
Yun Zishu turned her eyes slightly and saw a woman wearing a luxurious phoenix robe sitting next to the emperor. She was about thirty-five years old or above. She was extremely well-maintained and had a head full of pearls. She was extremely luxurious.
Yun Zishu smiled without being humble or arrogant and said, "Thank you very much for the compliment, Queen."
Queen Situ had a worried expression and a sharp look in her eyes. She looked around but did not see the two nuns she had sent. She couldn't help but ask: "I remember sending two nuns to Dayong to teach the direct princess Dongyou."
Etiquette, I wonder where they are at this time?"
"The Queen." The General Wang, who was sitting in the first place opposite, spoke calmly. His voice was not loud, but his pressure could not be ignored. "Aunt Yan and Aunt Li collided with me when they were living in the post house. I have ordered someone to deal with it.
Got them."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall became tense.
The queen's face darkened on the spot, and her hand holding the wine cup couldn't help but tighten. However, she obviously did not dare to attack Huangfu Liyuan. Her face only stiffened for a moment, and then she smiled nonchalantly: "Since they don't know how to fight to the death,
If you get the General King, just deal with it. They are just two nuns, so the General King doesn’t need to take it to heart."
Huangfu Liyuan didn't take it to heart at first. Hearing the words, he hummed, picked up the wine cup and took a sip of wine.
The queen took a breath and quickly regained her calm expression: "The auspicious day for the wedding is set on the 19th. The princess can live in the palace later. Before getting married, she will learn the rules and regulations of the Dongyou royal family's marriage. In these two days
Just don’t leave the palace again.”
"The legitimate princess does not have to live in the palace." Huangfu Liyuan said indifferently, "The legitimate princess of Dayong is marrying the prince. There is no rush to follow the rules and etiquette, as long as the prince likes her."
The queen did not expect that Huangfu Liyuan would fall in her face again and again, and her smile became a little unnatural: "Why did the general Wang say this?"
"This is the prince's condition." Huangfu Liyuan said, "I have mentioned it to the emperor and the queen before, and I hope the queen can act in accordance with the agreement."
