Chapter 171 Dinner Party 3
At this time, a eunuch came forward, and his sharp and thin voice sounded: "Tonight is a banquet specially hosted by the emperor for the third prince, fifth princess and the envoys of the Empire of Japan. The banquet has begun, please sing and dance, and hope that the Empire of Japan will VIPs like it!”
Immediately a dancer came in and started performing in the middle of the banquet.
The banquet was originally divided between men on the left and women on the right. There was a round platform in the middle as a dance floor, specially designed for the palace opening banquet.
When the music started, the dancers began their performance.
Yu Wan was bored as she ate the cakes made by Xiao Liu while her consciousness searched for Feng. She only saw six brothers, Yu Haoran, and they occupied one table. Miss Feng is not there, maybe she is still in the imperial dining room, and it is not the time to go to the main table yet.
She glanced at the emperor on the left, who was alone at the table, but saw that his eyes were narrowed and uncertain, as if he was looking for someone.
He has not married yet. Every time there is anything in the palace, it is the Feng family who takes care of it. It seems that he has to find a woman for him.
She followed the emperor's eyes to the last few tables of the banquet, where there were several girls who seemed to be of low status.
The emperor always focused on a fifteen-year-old girl with haircut. She was wearing a goose-yellow shirt and skirt, with only a hairpin on her head, which made her look a little shabby.
But she ate elegantly and was very focused on the food, without even glancing around.
Yu Wan looked at her facial features carefully, a little surprised, and then smiled knowingly.
This is a smart girl who knows how to hide her clumsiness. No wonder the emperor fell in love with her.
Soon the singing and dancing ended, and everyone in the hall was in high spirits, eager to have another performance.
Immediately, the eunuch in charge announced that girls from various aristocratic families and official families would perform on stage.
Yu Wan glanced at the emperor, I'm afraid tonight is also a blind date party, haha, I guess good things are coming.
The first one to take the stage was the daughter-in-law of Zuo Xiang's family. She was very beautiful and majestic. The moment she appeared on stage, the eyes of the young masters from all the families lit up.
But the shy smile was given to the emperor.
"Girl Wan, what do you think of the daughter-in-law of Zuo Xiang's family?" The Empress Dowager approached Yu Wan and asked her.
"Grandma, don't worry, my cousin will give you a surprise tonight," Yu Wan said.
"real?"
"Really, I don't believe you are here to see the end."
The Empress Dowager didn't believe it. She looked at the emperor. He lowered his head and only ate in his mouth, without even looking at the beautiful woman below.
"Girl Wan, look at your cousin, he only wants to eat the girl from whichever family he likes, alas!"
"Hehe, the answer will be revealed tonight, the palace is holding a happy event!"
"You, you only know how to make the Queen Mother happy." The Queen Mother nodded Yu Wan's nose.
Yu Wan gave the Empress Dowager a piece of cake, and she leaned into her ear and said, "Does Grandma Huang have any requests for the Empress?"
The Empress Dowager was stunned, and she asked back: "Girl Wan, do you know that girl's status is not high?"
"Should, probably".
"Pfft", the Queen Mother almost choked.
Yu Wan immediately stroked her lower back. Why did the Empress Dowager react so much?
If she had known it earlier, she would not have revealed it. She quickly asked: "Grandma, are you okay? It's all your granddaughter's fault for talking nonsense."
Aunt Hu wiped the Queen Mother's mouth and waved her hand, "The Queen's grandmother is fine, don't worry, it's just a bit surprising at first glance. But it's okay, a stronger mother clan is not necessarily a good thing. Back then, your Queen's grandfather married The powerful queen of her mother’s family, what’s the result?”
The transfer of power to relatives has been happening since ancient times. It brings disaster to the country and the people!
In fact, after all, I am still strong enough. Cultivate your own people and know how to balance employment. No matter how good relatives or outsiders are, they can't make trouble.
Thinking of this, Yu Wan was thinking that she might as well give the twelve children to the emperor. Not only were the monks stronger than the warriors, they could swear to be loyal to the emperor and not betray them.
There are also Yu Yi, the others, and their forty-four children. If one day she takes her family and leaves this continent, she can leave them to the emperor.
Time flew by so fast. After an hour, the performance ended and the food began to be served.
The maids filed in carrying dishes.
At this time, an envoy from the Great Sun Empire came out. He saluted the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and said: "Your Majesty, Emperor Dayan, our three princes and fifth princesses of the Great Sun Empire have come to marry Qin and Jin by order of our emperor. , I wonder what His Majesty Emperor Dayan thinks?"
Just now, he clearly felt a sense of hostility in his third prince. They had been here for half a month, and Emperor Dayan was either busy or perfunctory.
He had long since lost his temper.
The emperor raised his eyes. His eyes were deep and deep, but his expression was neither salty nor bland. He said: "Ah! I'm here to welcome you tonight. The three princes and five princesses will have a good meal and drink. As for business, it must be in the morning tomorrow morning. manage!"
The envoy was obviously a little angry. He lowered his voice and said: "I think His Majesty Emperor Dayan is afraid that he does not want to be friends with Qin and Jin. If you don't want to, just say it clearly. Why bother?"
"Hey, Sir Qiu, please don't be rude." Chu Yunxiao immediately flew to stand beside the envoy.
He cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Emperor Dayan, I'm really sorry. Master Qiu drank too much and talked nonsense. Please Haihan. But I do sincerely come to propose to marry Princess Wanqing of your country. I hope that Your Majesty Emperor Dayan will marry you." Complete!”
The emperor touched his chin: "This, can you change it to another one?"
"Pfft", many ministers in the hall could not bear the expression of His Majesty the Emperor.
Chu Yunxiao was not affected at all. He still asked gently: "What does your Majesty mean?"
The emperor ate a mouthful of food, waved his hand and said: "It's nothing, it's just that my cousin's marriage has been arranged by my family's emperor, so I don't have to worry about it."
"It's just right, she's here," he pointed at Yu Wan.
Yu Wan rolled her eyes and burned her anger. But Chu Yunxiao's leap just now was not simple.
The ministers below immediately shut up, and the hall was silent for a moment, and you could hear a pin drop.
No minister didn't know what happened to Yu Wan in the past. The ten-year-old kid was so cruel. After six years, I don't know how much her kung fu has improved. Who dares to fart in front of her.
Of course, there are people who are not afraid of trouble. Sure enough, Chu Yunxiao bowed to the Empress Dowager Yu Wan: "Princess Wanqing, I have admired you for a long time, please help me!"
Yu Wan twitched her lips, she stood up, walked off the stage, came to Mu Jiuchen, and stretched out her hand.
Mu Jiuchen raised the corner of his mouth, took her hand, and came out. The two held hands and came to Chu Yunxiao, saying politely: "The Third Prince has come from afar, we welcome you, but I'm sorry I can't do what you ask for. If I fulfill your wish, what will I become? As early as five years ago, the Emperor had already granted me and Mu Jiuchen a marriage, so thank you for your admiration, I am not worthy of it!"
