The Imperial Banquet Terrace, located in the easternmost part of the whole palace, is as big as two palaces connected together, and is facing the main hall is the main hall, which is so large that it can accommodate thousands of people, and there are no steps between the main hall and the outside, only a hidden door. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Outside, pavilions and pavilions are only distributed on both sides, leaving a large central area vacant and only used for the gathering of ministers in the New Year.

As for the reception of the envoys, the banquet was held in a place similar to the Imperial Banquet Terrace in the west, which was only half the size of the Imperial Banquet Terrace.

The maid spread a blanket from the main hall and extended directly to the entrance of the hall.

The blanket is made of two layers of spotted deerskin with a thick layer of snow fox fur sandwiched in between.

In the middle, a three-person wide place was set aside, and on each side were placed a table of delicacies and jade wine, and a brocade square mat.

At the end of the square mat, a low red platform, only as tall as an ordinary chair, was erected, which would be used for the performance tonight.

A splendid palace lamp is hung around the red platform, and two golden brocade silk are set up along the main hall, on which a brocade palace lamp is hung at intervals.

These two golden brocade silks are bundled extremely high, and even if someone who is higher than ordinary people jumps up, they will not hit the palace lamp.

In a few moments, in the imperial banquet platform, all the ministers had arrived.

Even the princes and princesses have sat down, the emperor is still in the future, and the queen and the concubine have not appeared.

As soon as Yi Yefu came in, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

She only casually raised her eyes, glanced around, and walked towards her place.

According to Yiye's current status, he is only under the prince and princess, but because Yiye is a father-in-law, although he is not a real man, he can't sit with the princess, and according to the order of the prince's eldest and youngest, the seventh prince did not attend, and Yiye's position was arranged next to the sixth prince.

After Yi Ye sat down, he still couldn't help but look at Sheng Li, but because he was sitting in the same row, he could only see his side face clearly, and because Sheng Li was looking at a certain place, he couldn't see his expression clearly in the backlight.

It's only when he doesn't notice himself that he allows himself to look at him a few times.

Sheng Yang took Yi Ye's hand and whispered, "Yi Ye, I heard that the peach blossoms in the Imperial Garden will bloom tomorrow, can you accompany me to pick peach blossoms tomorrow?" ”

Sheng Yang is very favored by the emperor in the palace, as long as those who have served Sheng Yang know that he has loved to eat the peach blossom cake made by his nurse since he was a child, but the peach blossoms only bloom when spring is coming, and the flowering period is very short.

Therefore, in order to eat peach blossom cake on weekdays, every time the peach blossom blooms, the concubine will order someone to pick the petals, and a small number of fresh petals are immediately made into the freshest peach blossom cake, and the rest have to wait for the sun to be good, and then carefully dried, and kept for future use.

Before Yi Ye could answer, he heard the voice of Gong Gong Lin open his voice, "The emperor has arrived." ”

Everyone below has bowed down together, if it is usually Yiye and the prince and princess enjoy the same dignity, there is no need to do this big gift on weekdays.

But now that the prince and princess have also knelt down, how could Yiye stand alone.

So although it was reluctant, it was also kneeling.

The bright yellow figure walked majestically in front of him, and then there were several bright figures.

As soon as Saint Nanhao sat down, he waved his big hand, "Flat." ”

Everyone stood up in unison, and when Yi Ye sat down in her seat, she saw several glances sweeping over her head, and she looked back one by one, it was the queen, the concubine, and the lord of Liuruo.

"Where are the prince and the third princess?" Sheng Nanhao looked at the figures hugging below, but no one answered for a long time, and the queen sitting next to the emperor couldn't help but be a little anxious, Donghao's prince and third princess had not yet entered the palace to visit because of the distress, except for the prince and Meng Chengxiang who received the envoys, no one had seen them.

The queen gave Mama Gong a look and asked her to investigate.

Although she knew that Mama Gong lowered her head and pretended not to see, she was so angry that the queen did not dare to attack in front of her.

The figures surrounding the bottom were already noisy, and the ministers commented that the prince and the third prince of Donghao were too rude, and they didn't even take their emperor in their eyes.

And more people look like they are watching a good show, some things don't involve themselves, and no one will worry about it more.

However, these people who watch the drama are much better than those who talk everywhere and have a good time.

Yi Ye had never met Donghao's crown prince and the third princess, but if they came, they wouldn't sit with the ministers below.

Yi Ye was not worried that they would not come, this time they came for marriage, and the emperor specially invited them to a banquet before the New Year, so they would definitely attend.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a much quieter noise at the bottom.

I saw a pair of wall people slowly walking below, the man's posture was straight, his eyebrows and eyes were handsome and extraordinary, the woman was charming, a pair of charming eyes were just a sweep, and everyone below seemed to be drunk but not awake.

When Prime Minister Meng Cheng saw the two of them, he said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, this is Donghao's crown prince, Donghao Ling, and his three princesses, Donghao Mingyue." ”

Donghao Ling had already stepped forward, raised his hand and said, "Ling and Mingyue have met Emperor Shangli. ”

Donghao is the surname of the country, and Donghao Ling is the prince of a country, so he only needs to salute St. Nanhao alone.

Sheng Nanhao's face was pale, he thought that Prince Donghao and others would enter the palace in advance, but he didn't expect that not only would he be late to see him as a country's honor, but he would not even be able to perform the courtesy.

But today is the New Year's banquet of Shang Liguo, and Sheng Nanhao is inconvenient, so he just raised his hand and said, "Prince Donghao and the third princess, please." ”

Dong Hao Ling raised his hand again, but Dong Hao Mingyue was half-bent, and after saluting, he walked towards that place.

As the crown prince of Donghao, the position was arranged next to Shengfang.

After the two sat down, although Donghao Mingyue had already received Donghao Ling's warning, she couldn't help but look at Sheng Yan, who was sitting next to Dong Haoling, and secretly glanced at Sheng Li, who was sitting next to her.

Before she came to Shangli, her father had already analyzed the current situation of Shangli with her.

Because she was not born to the queen, the most likely person to marry her is the third prince Sheng Li next to her.

The father said that although Shang Li defeated Donghao this time, it was Donghao that proposed the marriage, and Donghao intended to form an alliance with Shang Li, and I am afraid that Emperor Shang Li also had this intention, so this marriage was not for her to marry here, but to take the prince back to Donghao.

She couldn't help but want to look at Sheng Li secretly, but she saw Dong Haoling tapping the wine glass, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly put away her mind and sat down properly.
