Volume 1 The Newlyweds Chapter 10 Going to the Banquet
time flies.
In a blink of an eye, it was time to return to the palace with the princess for the banquet. Xue Junyou did not delay. He arrived at the palace early and waited in front of the magnificent Shenque Gate.
Soon, the cavalry guards, five in a row, wearing black armor and black robes, and horses wearing silver armor and silver gear, came slowly on the ground.
This type of cavalry guard is divided into two types. One is called the White Horse Guards, with white armor, white robes and white horses, and is the escort of the royal family. The other is called the Black Dragon Rider, with black armor, black robes and black horses.
He was born as a commander of a thousand soldiers in the army, and he served as a guard for the emperor and the prince.
The little princess was adopted by the queen as a legitimate princess since she was a child, and was granted the title of Anyang. According to the ancestral system, she was entitled to 1,500 horse guards when traveling. She was even more favored by His Majesty, so she was given a 1,500 horse black dragon horse as a bodyguard.
.
The long black-armored procession went straight into the Shenque Gate. They were so majestic that they were completely immune to the questioning of the gatekeepers.
About halfway inside, a luxurious chariot with gold-plated and engraved black bird patterns slowly drove in front of Xue Junyou. As a slender hand opened the curtain, the beautiful face inside, who was dressed very gracefully today, waved at him.
He looked as if he was getting into the car.
Xue Junyou immediately got into the car carrying a lot of fine clothes. Good guy, it is indeed a royal chariot. The space is very large, enough to accommodate more than ten people. Even the little princess is sitting on a huanghuali beauty couch, with paving on it.
She was wearing soft and warm snow-white bedding, and there were exquisite small tables and incense burners displaying candied fruits.
"Is the princess still studying?" Seeing that Luo Junyue was holding a copy of "The Great Entropy Girl's Ring" in her hand, and thinking about what had inexplicably made the little princess angry the day before, Xue Junyou immediately asked with a flattering smile.
Luo Junyue responded softly. There was neither happiness nor anger on her face. She just continued reading.
Yun Ni, who was waiting at the side, couldn't stand it anymore. She sighed softly and murmured in a low voice: "As a legitimate princess, the princess has studied with the crown prince and the master since she was a child. How could she not study? And...
. …I asked you to meet me at the palace. You actually stayed outside for two days and then waited in front of the palace gate. You were really there."
"Tsk!" Before Xue Junyou could respond, Luo Junyue raised her head and glanced at Yun Ni.
When Yun Ni saw this, she immediately lowered her head.
The atmosphere was quiet for half a stick of incense, and the princess's chariot finally arrived at the harem. After getting off the car, Luo Junyue followed the ancestral rules and went to the ancestral temple to pay respects and offer incense. Xue Junyou was arranged in the main hall of Enhua Palace.
Entropy Hua Palace was the residence of the queens of the past dynasties. A large area here is a lake, and the queen's palace is in the middle of the lake. Under the clear sun in early winter, the lake with a layer of ice reflects the palace with red and green tiles, making it as quiet as a dream.
At this time, the main hall of the palace was almost full. His Majesty now has four princes and nine princesses. There are thirteen seats lined up in the splendid hall. Xue Junyou, each of the princes and princesses sitting on them is unfamiliar to them.
In his previous life, he was a social creature, and he had never participated in such a high-class occasion.
What's more, just sitting here for nearly half an hour made him feel very uncomfortable.
Looking at the couples sitting upright with no smiles on their faces, it was almost like a vigil.
Xue Junyou felt very bored. No wonder the family was said to be the most ruthless emperor's family. Sitting here now, this family might be able to come up with eight hundred thoughts, no, seven hundred and ninety-nine. After all, the little princess will be here soon.
.
"Don't feel uncomfortable in this kind of situation, you just get used to it."
When it was said that Cao Cao had arrived, Luo Junyue, who had returned from the ancestral temple, was lightly arranging her beautiful clothes and knelt down next to Xue Junyou. The hem of her beautiful clothes spread out like flowers and leaves. She sat in front of the flowers and leaves, looking very elegant.
Dignified and noble.
Bei Quezhu Palace, the beauty is by your side.
Xue Jun worried that there was inevitably a feeling of heat in his heart. He tactically glanced at the blue sky outside the palace and said, "It's not bad. I just think of it as meditating and enlightening."
"Do you think this is a Taoist temple? Do you still remember what I told you before?" Luo Junyue asked.
Xue Junyou nodded: "I know it by heart."
After saying that, he saw that Luo Junyue seemed a little nervous and couldn't help but swallowed.
"Are you thirsty?" Although he didn't know why he was nervous, Xue Junyou still pretended to ask and reached for an orange.
"What are you doing?!" Luo Junyue stopped her in a low voice with a surprised look on her face: "My father, the Queen, and my mother haven't arrived yet, so we can't be so disrespectful!"
Hearing these words, Xue Junyou realized that all the eyes of the hall were focused on him. At this moment, it seemed that what he was holding was not an orange, but a grenade!
But he didn't care.
"Isn't it just for people to eat here? Is it possible to keep it as an offering?" Xue Junyou said, quickly peeling off the outer skin, breaking off a piece and feeding it to her: "You continue to be beautiful alone, just open your mouth,
come!"
"Actually, I'm not thirsty..." Luo Junyue's face turned red, but because of the stares from everyone around her, she looked around shyly, raised her hand to tuck a few strands of hair from her temples behind her ears.
, lowered his head slightly, and silently ate the orange slice. Although it was sour, it quenched his thirst, and the aftertaste was also refreshing and sweet.
"Is it sweet?" Xue Junyou asked.
Luo Junyue was gentle, smiled and nodded: "Sweet."
Seeing this, Xue Junyou also swallowed a mouthful of saliva and swallowed half of it in his mouth at once. As soon as the citrus juice splashed in his mouth, his eyes tightened and he quickly took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and covered his mouth.
"Pooh!"
Xue Junyou's face was numb with soreness. Regardless of the more strange looks from the royal family, he vomited into his handkerchief and turned to look at Luo Junyue: "Where's the sweetness? Princess, don't you suffer from some tongue disease?"
"You have a bad tongue!" Luo Junyue retorted as the blush on her face gradually disappeared, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on her face.
"Really?"
.”
"Haha!" Luo Junyue looked at it so funny that she couldn't help laughing. She had bright eyes, white teeth, and a cheerful smile.
Seeing Luo Junyue smile, Xue Junyou's face returned to normal, so he said: "Yes, this is the expression you should have when going to a family banquet. Don't be too nervous, sit down like a clothes hanger.
"
"You can see it all." Luo Junyue responded, feeling warm in her heart. Sometimes I really don't know whether this person is smart or really stupid.
"No one will be nervous in this kind of atmosphere. It's lifeless, and there's nothing festive about it." While speaking, Xue Junyou poured a cup of tea for Luo Junyue, and also poured a cup for himself, and added as if no one else was around.
He whispered: "Good brothers and sisters, we are strangers than strangers. Oh, how boring!"
Maybe it was what he said, or maybe he was gradually relaxing. Luo Junyue picked up the tea, raised her sleeves and took a demure sip, and said, "Maybe it's because I'm here that they don't want to talk."
"Oh? How to say."
Luo Junyue sighed softly, turned sideways, and said worriedly to Xue Jun: "De is not worthy of my place! I am the youngest among the sisters, and I am not the daughter of a queen. Don't look at the way these people usually behave in front of my sister.
The elder sister is the younger sister, but in my heart I don’t know how to squeeze on me, so I don’t like to be in this kind of situation.”
"Well, that's quite lonely. But it's okay. At least no one is openly opposing you, right?" Xue Junyou felt a breath of air in his ears, and he had never been so close to a girl.
"Yes, haven't you just contradicted me and dared to let this princess be rejected...? Why are the roots of your ears so red?"
"What? Where is it red?" Xue Junyou quickly turned away, touched his ears and explained: "Maybe someone missed me."
"Do you have an outer room outside?" Luo Junyue's face changed slightly, as if the orange slice had gained stamina, and there was a strong sourness in her eyes.
Xue Junyou said bluntly: "Aren't I looking for death? My mother and grandma of the Xue family miss me, don't they?"
Luo Junyue didn't believe it and was about to question.
"The Queen is here!"
At this moment, a sharp announcement sounded outside the palace door.
Xue Junyou looked sideways and saw a gorgeous figure being supported and walking in dignifiedly.
The queen's maiden name is Lin Wenxue, and she comes from a famous family in the Entropy Kingdom. Although she is now in her forties, she has a beautiful face and snow-like skin. She does not look like a middle-aged woman at all. In addition, she has a subtle and unrevealing aura.
Her solemn and noble appearance only makes people feel that she is still a lady.
Xue Jun was worried and uneasy. He took a breath, stood up with all the royal family members in the palace, bowed and bowed.
Queen Lin stepped up a few steps and was supported by a maid to sit on the phoenix couch. She smiled warmly, as if she was near water with smoke, and looked extremely hazy. She looked at Xue Junyou, who was two to the left below her, and said: "Don't worry.
The ceremony is all my family, please sit down."
Xue Junyou noticed that look, but still thanked everyone and knelt down in his seat.
