After the ceremony, there was a grand palace banquet.
The Crown Prince of Southern Qi, King Yongjing and Prince Mobei sat in sequence on the left side of the emperor's head. Behind them were envoys from their respective countries.
The distinguished ministers of the Dongyou clan are seated on the right side.
The maids filed in, holding plates of exquisite meals and delicacies, which were neatly placed on the tables in front of the distinguished guests.
The overflowing fragrant palace wine, the melodious music like the sound of nature, the dancing girl with fluttering clothes like a fairy... The glorious scenery of the prosperous age is in front of you, and people can't help but be intoxicated.
"The little king and his envoys are here to congratulate His Majesty the Emperor on his enthronement." Pei Yicheng held up the wine cup and gestured to Sicang and Yun Zishu, "May the Kingdom of Dongyou last forever for thousands of generations, and may His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen be forever married.
Let’s work together to build a flourishing world. May Dongyou and Nanqi be reconciled forever and prosper together.”
Si Cang picked up the wine cup and returned the gift: "Thank you very much, Prince Pei, for your message. I also hope that all countries in the world can coexist peacefully and be repaired forever."
Pei Yicheng raised his glass and drank it all.
"I would like to use tea instead of wine." Yun Zishu smiled solemnly, "It is a blessing for the country and the people of Southern Qi to have a crown prince like Prince Pei in Southern Qi."
"Thank you so much, Queen, I'm so ashamed of myself." Pei Yicheng drank another drink to show his respect.
Yun Zishu took a sip of tea, turned her eyes slightly, and looked at King Jing, who was sitting next to Pei Yicheng: "Brother Five Emperors, staying in Guanyi these days is probably a bit boring."
King Jing raised his eyes, with a deep coldness in his eyes: "Since the Queen knows that I am tired of staying here, I wonder if you can let me go back earlier to reply to the order, so as not to worry my father?"
"Yes, Your Royal Highness, please let us go back earlier." The envoy behind him said eagerly, but his tone was not resentful, "We have been away for too long, and the emperor and ministers will inevitably be worried. It would be better to go back earlier.
It can put their minds at ease."
They have deep resentment in their hearts, but do they dare to show their dissatisfaction now?
As an envoy to another country, I dare not say anything about my other abilities, but I am definitely better at concealing my emotions and being insincere. After all, having unstable emotions is a sign of incompetence at any time. If someone catches me, the consequences will be very serious.
serious.
Yun Zishu sighed quietly, her face full of melancholy and loneliness: "It's not that I don't want to let you go back, it's just that I haven't had anyone close to me in Dayong since I was a child. My mother died young and my father didn't care about me. Just like
I am a poor little person who has no one to care about me. Only the emperor brother loves me so much. I really can’t let go of the fifth emperor brother."
As soon as these words came out, Minister Dongyou and the envoys from Southern Qi and Mobei all understood and couldn't help but sigh, so this is the case.
Although the empress has the status of a direct princess in Dayong, she has never enjoyed maternal love, and her father does not love her. She finally has a brother with a better relationship, so she will naturally rely more on her.
Moreover, if a woman marries alone in a foreign country, even if she has become the mother of a country, she will not be able to stop herself from missing her hometown in the future.
King Jing's face froze. He didn't expect that Yun Zishu would actually start talking about her feelings, and she was obviously telling lies with her eyes open.
If he sternly denied it at this time, it would definitely seem unkind, but this is clearly not the case.
What a cunning woman.
"Don't worry about your pregnancy." Si Cang turned to comfort her and held her hand across the chair. "You are pregnant now. You can't be sad about your pregnancy. You must be happy."
Yun Zishu nodded and wiped the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Since the Queen is so reluctant to leave, I will let King Jing stay in Dongyou for a while longer." Sicang said warmly. Compared with his indifference and toughness when facing others, he was now a perfect, gentle and good husband. "Prince Jing should agree."
of."
King Jing's face was ugly, and he almost wanted to yell at this shameless couple. They were so pretentious, cunning and hypocritical!
When did he become deeply attached to her brother and sister?
Yun Zishu is reluctant to leave? What a joke. He has been trapped in Guanyi for so many days. How has Yun Zishu ever visited him?
However, in front of the Minister of Dongyou and the envoy of Southern Qi, Prince Mobei, he knew that he could not be impulsive.
Once you offend the cold-faced King of Hell, his blood might be splattered on the spot.
"His Royal Highness King Jing and the Empress have a deep brother-sister relationship, which is really admirable." The General Wang spoke again at the right time, "The Empress has a calm and independent temperament and has always been dignified and calm. Today's slightly fragile expression of feelings just shows that the Empress
The empress is emotionally dependent on His Highness King Jing, and hopes that His Highness King Jing can fulfill the brother-sister relationship between the Queen and the Empress, so let’s stay in Dongyou for a while longer.”
The envoys had been trapped in the post for such a long time. How could they be willing to miss this opportunity when they finally had the chance to come out?
So you said something to each other, and rushed to speak: "We are also moved by the brother-sister relationship between the Queen and His Royal Highness King Jing, but King Jing has a heavy responsibility and has no right to be willful. We have been away from Dayong for a long time, so we should go back early.
I reply to the decree to appease my emperor. The two countries are far apart. If there is any unnecessary misunderstanding, it will cause some trouble to both Dongyou and Dayong."
"Master Xu is right. Now that I see the emperor and the empress boarding the treasure, they are deeply in love with each other. I am really happy to wait. This means that Dongyou and Dayong will coexist peacefully in the next fifty years. This is the common people.
The blessing of the country is the blessing of the country."
"When we return to Dayong and return the order, King Jing can come over again when he is free."
Sicang and Yun Zishu listened to them quietly. They should go back to Dayong first to reply, and then come back later?
It's so cute and innocent.
It's easy to keep someone, but once you put them back, do you expect them to come back next time?
"Let's discuss this matter later." Si Cang's expression became obviously colder, "Today is my enthronement ceremony. Thank you for your kind words and congratulations, everyone."
Picking up the wine cup, he gestured from afar, "The king and his subjects will be happy together."
In contrast to King Jing’s frequent compliments, the ministers of Dongyou raised their glasses and said, "I wish you all the best to the emperor! To the empress! May the emperor and the empress be happy, live long and healthy, and may Dongyou be prosperous and prosperous for generations to come!"
The Crown Prince of Southern Qi, King Yongjing, Prince Mobei and their respective envoys were holding wine cups, and their eyes fell on the faces of the excited Dongyou ministers in front of them, with a flash of awe in their eyes.
King Jing looked gloomy. Today was the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, and envoys from other countries were also present. That's why he proposed to leave Dayong in public, just to give Sicang and Yun Zishu no reason to refuse.
Unexpectedly, they did not take into account the presence of envoys from other countries.
King Jing knew in his heart that if he could not get the chance to leave Dayong today, he would probably be imprisoned again for who knows how long next time.
His mind turned slightly, and he was about to turn around to talk to the Crown Prince of Nan Qi when he saw Sicang's gaze suddenly shot over. Although it just passed by their faces, it stayed for a very short time, but it was like an ice front scraping across their cheeks.
