Chapter 238: Qualifications for the Palace Banquet
In the case of Yong'an Hou's rapid journey, the original ten-day journey was completed in 7 days, when Yong'an Hou saw Kyoto, he sighed: "We are finally back, this walk is so long, I don't know if there are any changes in Kyoto, we first send the princess to the other courtyard, and then enter the palace to face the saint, although the process of this alliance we have told the emperor in the letter, but directly said that it must be more complete, presumably the emperor now also wants to summon us." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
According to the meaning of Yong'an Hou, the group first sent the princess to the other courtyard, which is a place dedicated to entertaining envoys from other countries, although the princess is determined to enter the palace, but has not yet entered the palace, so they can only live here, not directly into the palace.
Yong'an Hou and a few courtiers of the envoy team entered the palace together, and after the emperor heard that they were back, he immediately summoned them and said to them: "All Aiqing have worked hard, this time you have made great contributions, after the Ziyang Kingdom and us form an alliance, the following plans can begin, and the people who sent the Ziyang Kingdom this time are all rewarded." ”
"It's our blessing to be able to serve the emperor, this time we will be like a princess back, and now we are placed in another courtyard, I don't know what arrangements the emperor has?" Yong'an Hou said.
"This time all Aiqing has made meritorious contributions, I am going to set up a palace banquet, banquet the ministers and the princess and envoys who came to our Dayong Dynasty this time, and when the time comes, the princess will be included in the harem, I have told the queen to prepare, all Aiqing don't worry, presumably all Aiqing are also tired of the dust and dust along the way, I will allow you to take three days off, go home and rest to accompany your family." The Emperor said.
"Thank you, Lord Long." The crowd said.
Coming out of the palace, Yong'an Hou and the others went back to their respective homes, this time Yong'an Hou left for so long, but Yong'an Hou Mansion is still in order, so that Yong'an Hou is very satisfied, but Yong'an Hou is still very satisfied with the marriage of his two granddaughters, one entered the palace, and the other married the five princes, although it is impossible for the five princes to be emperors, but the power of a prince should not be underestimated, not to mention that when their granddaughters enter the palace, if they give birth to a prince, then it is not impossible to support the prince with their Li family's bloodline to ascend to the throne, it just depends on whether there is this opportunity.
I have to say that Li Shuwan's entry into the palace gave Yong'an Hou greater ambitions, but it's too early to say this, after all, Li Shuwan doesn't even have a child now, and even if she has a prince, it is not so easy to support a prince, especially when the prince is still young and there are many adult princes above.
"Master Hou, you are back, and the slave will immediately go and tell the old lady and the master the good news." Said the minion guarding the door.
Soon the people in the Hou Mansion knew that Yong'an Hou was back, everyone came to the courtyard of the old lady, this Hou Ye was gone for so long, their juniors naturally came to greet him, Hou Ye came back this time, Yong'an Hou Mansion was even hotter, but in addition to welcoming Hou Ye, Aunt Wang wanted to inquire about the princess who came back with Hou Ye and them, whether it would bring a threat to her daughter in the palace, but she was just an aunt, she couldn't speak at such a time, she could only listen patiently.
"Husband, you're finally back, you've been gone for so long, we're all worried about you. I haven't encountered any danger along the way, I see that you have lost weight, and it seems that you have suffered a lot. The old lady said.
"There is not too much danger, but the road is far away, the road is more difficult, when I marched and fought before, it was much more bitter than this time, although this time it took a little longer, but it was not without gains, this time I formed an alliance with the Ziyang Kingdom, the emperor should have a move soon, we will follow the emperor, and we can get a lot of benefits." After forming an alliance with the Ziyang State, presumably the Ziyang Kingdom will soon be impatient and ready to find trouble with the Moon Worship Country, when the time comes, we will guide it a little more, and we will not worry that the two countries will not be able to fight the fire, and then the emperor will send troops in the name of reinforcements, and the Moon Worship Country will definitely not be able to please under the siege of the two countries, although it is impossible to destroy the Moon Worship Country at once, but it is no problem to occupy some land and obtain some benefits. Yong'an Hou said.
"The emperor is ambitious, so we naturally want to follow, but it is said that this time the princess of Ziyang Kingdom also came, I don't know what is going on, is it possible that Ziyang Kingdom is not at ease, so I sent a princess here?" Li He said.
"On the surface, sending a princess over is because of the alliance and the friendship between the two countries, in fact, the king of Ziyang Country is also afraid that we will regret it, so it is normal to send a princess over, after all, when she arrives in the palace, the princess has become the emperor's concubine, and by the emperor's side, it must be able to influence the emperor's thoughts, in fact, marriage is also a good method, and both parties can rest assured." Yong'an Hou said.
"My husband has worked hard outside, I have prepared a banquet and washed my husband's dust." The old lady said.
"In three days, there will be a palace banquet in the palace, and you can all go there at that time, but don't do anything unruly. On that day, the princess of Ziyang Kingdom and the envoys of Ziyang Kingdom will also attend, and the princess of Ziyang Kingdom will definitely be included in the harem at that time. Hou Ye said.
In fact, originally like Aunt Wang was not qualified to participate in the palace banquet, but who made Li Shuwan a palace concubine, and she was quite favored, so Aunt Wang also had the qualifications to participate in the palace banquet, but she had to follow behind the Zhang family, but although Aunt Wang was still uncomfortable, she also knew that the difference between the wife and the concubine was still very big, and since she became a concubine, it was impossible to overpower the Zhang family in this regard. But thinking of seeing her daughter, Aunt Wang is still very happy, I don't know if Shuwan is doing well in the palace, and when Shuwan has a firm foothold in the harem, Wen Hao will be able to shine in the future, after all, Wen Hao and Shuwan are out of the same mother's womb, and they don't help their own brothers.
But to enter the palace, she has to prepare well, bring something for her daughter to go in, hey, although her daughter is not as good as her son in her heart, but how is it a piece of meat that fell from her stomach, she also hopes that her daughter is doing well, and now that her daughter is doing well, it can bring benefits to her and his son, there is nothing better than this.
After Aunt Wang returned to the room, she began to pack up her things, of course, Aunt Wang would not pack too many things, after all, you have to be inspected when you bring things into the palace, and some things are inconvenient to be checked, so you can only bring some silver tickets that are convenient to carry, as well as some things like broken silver in purses.
