In order to make the state banquet go smoothly, a temporary curfew was imposed in Jinling, the capital city tonight. On Suzaku Street, there are teams of noble chariots and horses heading to the palace, and the magnificent scene of pedestrians and laughter in the city of the past has also been replaced by this somewhat solemn silence.

After more than half an hour, the carriage finally arrived at the palace.

The banquet was held at the Shinmeije Temple. The Shenming Hall is on the same central axis as the Taihe Hall, which is a huge temple and a special place for the royal family to hold state banquets.

The people of the Pingnan Hou Mansion all got off at the gate of the palace.

Because it is a state banquet, according to the system, no one is allowed to bring people into the palace. Therefore, Shen's mother and others who were waiting in the car. And the family of Pingnan Houfu, under the leadership of the Hou Ye, walked into the palace.

As soon as he entered the palace gate, Fu Jun was stunned by the scene in front of him.

Tonight's palace is brightly lit and the buildings are bright. On both sides of the palace road are crimson crystal yarn palace lights, a tent of crimson brilliance, along the road to the front, like the sky of the stars falling into the world, and like thousands of fireworks silently blooming.

On both sides of the big trees, there are also densely hung colorful lanterns, and there are also intercolored flowers made of silk yarn, one by one blooming in the early winter branches, washing away the damage and gloom of winter, only the bright and scorching.

And above the palace and under the eaves corridor, there are also delicate palace lamps hanging. There are also palace people dressed in uniform crimson palace clothes and holding bright gauze lanterns, walking back and forth. From a distance, it is like a moving star, dotted in the dark night.

Zheng on the side was obviously also shocked by this picture, and Fu Jun heard her inhale.

At this time, the palace people with the color of the steward's service came up with the little eunuch. He bowed down and said, "The slave greets the Hou Ye." ”

Ping Nanhou waved his hand and said, "That's it." ”

The palace man straightened up and said diligently: "The slave will lead the way for the Hou Ye." ”

Pingnanhou bowed slightly, and a group of people followed him, following the steward to the temple of the gods.

Walking on the hard palace road, Fu Jun watched this rare scene of the ancient palace banquet without a trace, and paid attention to the people who came and went.

Perhaps because this palace road is extremely wide, Fu Jun can only vaguely feel that behind their family, there seem to be people from Beppu also walking on the road. However, as far as her eyes could see, there was only the glorious and dazzling palace in front of her, and the crimson lights on both sides of the palace road. Even a few palace people who walked in front of him and led the way. In the midst of this gorgeous scene, it also became ethereal.

It took about twenty minutes to walk. Fu Jun's feet with plain satin brocade boots finally stepped on the ten-zhang red felt in front of the Temple of the Gods.

The steward led the way and finished the errand, and a few other palace people came over and welcomed everyone from the Pingnan Marquis Mansion into the hall.

Come into the temple. Fu Jun stopped looking around. Instead, he bowed his head slightly. According to the most standard etiquette, walk slowly without looking away.

The interior of this hall is not as noisy as the outside of the palace, although it is also a crystal lamp and jade candle, brocade embroidered mattress. It's just that the table and other things are all dark. This somber tone lowered the brightness of the entire hall a lot, creating a solemn atmosphere.

The banquet adopts a separate seating system for men and women, and the seats are set according to the grade. Therefore, since entering the hall, several people in the Pingnan Hou Mansion have been divided into several groups.

Fu Jun quietly followed behind the people of the Guide Palace, and sat in the back row of the female dependents with the Zheng family.

They sat in an inconspicuous position, with a pillar in front of them, so that as long as they didn't make a sound, no one would notice it.

As for Fu Jia, she sat in the front row with Mrs. Hou, very close to the aisle paved with red felt. Before parting, Fu Jia's smug eyes deliberately glanced at Fu Jun several times, and Fu Jun was really bored thinking about it.

After sitting down, Fu Jun raised his eyes and calmly looked around.

The hall was wide, and Fu Jun couldn't see the scene behind him, but could only see a few cases lined up in the men's seats in front of him. She looked up slightly and looked at the white gauze palace lamp hanging between the beams. Even the palace lamp was very bright, and it could not illuminate the corners of the temple.

Fu Jun looked at the palace gate again, but saw that there was a large vacant space, and there were no seats arranged and no palace people to serve. Only the ground is covered with thick green velvet felt, which is clearly distinguished from the red felt in the aisle.

Seeing this scene, Fu Jun frowned slightly, and secretly wondered why such an arrangement was.

With her carefully observing the surrounding scene, time passed slowly. Fu Jun saw many familiar faces in the audience, and Lu You, Zhang Ling, Pei Xi and others also took their seats.

Speaking of which, Pei You's family survived the Protector case some time ago. Although Pei You and Empress Yuan are very close bloodlines, fortunately, he was still young at the time of the crime, and his father was not involved. Therefore, Pei You is still sitting in the position of the left attendant of the Ministry of War, but judging from Pei Xi's attitude towards Fu Jun, I am afraid that the life of the Pei family is not very easy now.

Fu Jun was secretly worried in his heart, and at the same time opened up to the door of the hall again. At this moment, I heard a burst of palace music outside the door, and then a small eunuch's sharp voice said: "His Royal Highness the Great Prince of the Khan Khanate has arrived-His Royal Highness the Princess Ming has arrived-"

With this sharp sound of communication, the palace music became more and more grand, Fu Jun stood up with everyone, but saw Xiao Changyuan, the prince of the Khanate, and Xiao Hongzhu, the princess of the pearl, walking in side by side, followed by more than 20 black-armored warriors, all with fierce expressions and hideous faces.

When the guest of honor arrived, Xie Ying, the secretary of Honglu Temple, immediately greeted him in person, and said with a loud smile: "His Royal Highness the Great Prince and His Royal Highness the Princess are very welcome here." And please sit less, and when the emperor comes, you can have a banquet. ”

This was the first time Fu Jun had seen Xie Ting's father, and at this time he couldn't help but look at it twice, but saw that Xie Ying was a man with extremely outstanding demeanor, with a handsome appearance and a free bearing. At this time, he only led a few civilian officials to stand beside the Khan Mission, and there were black-armored soldiers beside him, but his momentum was not weak at all, and he had the demeanor of a great country.

Xiao Changyuan smiled at this time: "Lord Xie is polite. His official words were far less fluent than Xiao Hongzhu's, and he was a little stiff in his ears. However, his appearance is better than that of his sister Sven, there is no sense of fierceness between his eyebrows and eyes, and he looks like a gentle person.

Xie Ying accompanied the people of the Khan to the position closest to the throne, during which he and Xiao Changyuan talked and laughed as usual, and seemed quite familiar. Thinking that during this time, as a member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he always accompanied the distinguished guests, but he had a good relationship with the eldest prince.

After the Khan Khanate delegation was seated, the emperor finally appeared.

The arrival of the holy car, that pomp and circumstance do not need to be detailed. Fu Jun was only a little curious, but he didn't know if the legendary Princess Fu'an would also be there as scheduled? (To be continued......)
