Chapter 453 Ladies and gentlemen, please take a seat.
In Changning Hall of the Imperial Palace, Emperor Qi Heng and King Ye were playing chess in the hall, while King Xuan sat aside and wrote.
Emperor Qi Heng was dressed in a black fox fur cloak, with his hair mixed with silver threads and tightly tied on top of his head.
The deep Sichuan lines cannot hide the handsome man in his youth, with a kind and yet majestic smile.
"I have wronged that girl. She has quelled the locust plague and cured the plague. She has made extraordinary achievements for the great Zhou Dynasty, but none of them have fallen on her head." After the emperor played the chess game, he spoke slowly, and his words were full of emotion.
of appreciation, but also a hint of guilt.
"Yu Yu doesn't care about this." The Night King said calmly, without thinking. The emperor nodded, "This is what is so valuable about that girl."
After a moment of silence, he said: "You are quite brave. You didn't understand any of the rules when you first arrived in Beijing. How dare you entertain ladies and ladies from various houses~~ and you are not afraid of being made things difficult for you?,
King Xuan put down his pen and interrupted with a smile.
"Father, there is no need to worry about this. That girl is not afraid of anything. She will find a hundred reasons to make things difficult for anyone who dares to do so.'
"I remember when she stopped the sedan chair to complain, and the minister asked her for a petition. She said, 'Sir, please take a look,' and then handed over the emperor's jade pendant and openly offered bribes.'~~ Without the slightest hint of cowardice, hey~~ Such courage.
"
"At that time, my son felt that this girl might be to the emperor's liking, so he returned the jade pendant to her and told her to keep it well.'
"This girl's ability, according to Yi Erchen, is definitely not as simple as that of a country girl."
"All the princesses, princesses, and ladies of the marquis, please come together and enter the Night Palace together." As the wife of a powerful minister and prime minister of the Great Zhou Kingdom, Mrs. Zhou's status is evident.
After the chamberlain on the side tested the poison as usual, the emperor began to use his chopsticks, picked up a brightly colored braised lion head and took a bite. His eyes widened in disbelief. He was stunned for a moment and then ate the whole thing in a few mouthfuls.
.
This meal was truly a feast for the eyes.
"Princess Ye is indeed beautiful." Prince Rui said in a gentle tone.
Shen Yuluo generously stepped forward to greet him.
Mrs. Zhou, who was gorgeously dressed, was holding a stove and talking to several other ladies who were preparing for the banquet beside the carriage.
"Thank you, Auntie." After some pleasantries, Prince Rui and Princess Rui were asked to take a seat at the upper right corner.
The dishes on the table were all untouched, except for the bottom of the four-course plate that Shen Yuyu had sent to the palace.
Prince Xuan also looked forward to it: "The title of 'God of Cooking' given to the emperor's sister-in-law was given by the prince himself, so she has a chance to taste it."
Everyone came to Princess Ye and saluted together, saying, "I've met Princess Ye." After the ceremony, they cried out. People took off their cloaks, took off their jackets, and others took off their jackets. It became a mess.
"Your Majesty~~" He hurried in with a smile on his face, "Princess Ye specially sent some dishes to the palace, saying that she made them herself, and asked the Emperor to try them.'
Ji Xun said nothing, the corners of his lips curled up, and his brows and eyes showed satisfaction with his wife.
After sitting down and talking for a while, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the building, and soon all the princes, princes, princes, ladies and ladies from the capital city poured into the Nuan Pavilion with their charming voices and laughter.
Precisely because he did not have the support of his mother's family, Emperor Qi Heng could not pass on the crown prince's position to him even if he admired Night King Wei Chenyi.
After finishing the meal, I couldn't wait to reach out to the other dishes with my chopsticks, making a satisfied "hmm" sound while eating.
Emperor Qi Heng took the handkerchief handed over by his chamberlain and wiped his mouth with satisfaction.
"Auntie Huang, sister Aya." As soon as they appeared at the door of Nuan Pavilion, Princess Leyang greeted Shen Yuyu and greeted her affectionately.
At this time Eunuch Li hurried in, carrying a food box.
The father and son chatted for a while, then ordered the waiters to serve the dishes and prepare for dinner.
Emperor Qianyuan: "This girl is interesting~~ Let's see what this banquet will turn into in the end."
Princess Shenjun smiled and answered: "Yes, let's go in together, it will be lively." She raised her eyebrows at Mrs. Zhou as she said that the liveliness was just intentional.
"Oh? This girl is really thoughtful." The emperor was pleasantly surprised.
After a while, everyone was almost there, and everyone headed to the Night King's Mansion together.
"As long as she doesn't overthrow the Night King's house, it will be fine." The Night King said in a calm tone, and his words and expression showed his doting and tolerance for his own princess.
In the Night Palace, after chatting with Princess Leyang for a while in the Nuan Pavilion, distinguished guests arrived. They were Princess Rui and Princess Wei Ya of Prince Rui's Palace.
"Not bad, good progress." Emperor Qi Heng praised a few words with a smile, his eyes full of the love of an old father.
The mother-in-law of King Ye and King Xuan was a woman whom Emperor Qi Heng fell in love with when he was young. She was of ordinary status.
"It seems that I have worried too much. The dishes in the banquet alone are enough to gag the ladies.
As long as there is a mistake in addressing any guest or making a mistake in the seating arrangement, it will leave a source of ridicule, so everyone gathers here with ulterior motives.
Shen Lingling's face changed greatly after hearing this, "Miss, she has become the Princess of the Night now. I'm afraid this is not good~~'
Zhou Lenghui lowered her face and said, "You are from my prime minister's house, what can she do to you? If you do it, I will reward you heavily."
At that time, princesses, princesses, princesses and county lords, as well as ladies and ladies from various palaces came in all, making Princess Ye extremely busy.
Eunuch Li opened the food box, and the aroma immediately hit his nostrils. Everyone's eyes lit up and they couldn't help but pick up their chopsticks.
Prince Rui is the younger brother of the current emperor. Apart from Princess Leyang and Princess Ye, she has the highest status today, while Princess Wei Ya is sitting opposite.
Zhou Lenghui sat in the carriage, thinking about how to make Shen Yuyu look embarrassed. After thinking about it, she called Shen Lingling to the carriage and whispered a few words to her.
Four steaming dishes, braised lion head, fish-flavored shredded pork, Kung Pao chicken, and steamed preserved meat.
At this time, the calligraphy of King Xuan was finished and he brought it to Emperor Qi Heng for review. "Father, can you see if there is any progress in the calligraphy of my son?"
"Yes, Miss." Shen Lingling could only nod in agreement.
King Xuan was still unfinished and looked at Ji Xun inquiringly, "Um~~Brother, does our sister-in-law have a younger sister? Do you want to consider getting married?"
On Defu Street in the east of the city, in the middle of the night, a number of horse-drawn carriages were parked in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion located on the street.
As Mrs. Zhou took off her cloak, she took a peek at Shen Yue, who was standing upright. Seeing that she was standing there as if she didn't know what she was doing, she must have been frightened by such a scene.
They are all unfamiliar faces. How can she tell whether they are familiar or important? It depends on how she arranges the seats.
You can't let Princess Leyang make the arrangements, right? If that's the case, it will still fall into the trap, haha~ Princess Ye is useless.
Just waiting to see Princess Ye's joke, Shen Yue said calmly, "Ladies and ladies, please take a seat." After saying this, he sat down first.
Everyone stood there in confusion for a while. Before the guests' seats were arranged, the host actually sat down first. Isn't this really rude?
