When Li Junran arrived at the main hall where the banquet was held, it was a little late in time. So it didn't take long for Emperor Jingshun, the biggest boss of the Apocalypse Dynasty, to make a collective appearance with his wife, children, and several beautiful concubines. Now that the Invesco Emperor has appeared, it is natural that the most ordinary gifts are indispensable.

"Long live my emperor and long live, long live, long live." Although it has not been rehearsed beforehand, it is surprisingly neat.

"Zhong Aiqing is flat."

"Long live thanks!"

"Today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, a good day for family reunion, these royal courtiers can be exempted."

That being said, no one present would take Emperor Inshun's words too seriously. If it's serious, it means that there is a danger of losing your head. Not only did he get up, but he had to kneel down again.

"Ministers......"

"Alright, let's all sit down." Emperor Invegu, who was satisfied, waved his hand, but his conscience was discovered, and he did not let the ministers present continue to kneel down and thank him. It's not easy.

When all the courtiers present were seated, the so-called Chinese New Year's Eve courtier banquet was officially opened. The palace maid dressed in a uniform pink embroidered Luo skirt, led by the eunuch who passed the dishes, bowed her head and held up one after another exquisite dishes, and appeared in the main hall neatly.

The banquet is divided into one left and one right, and most of the people sitting on the left are foreign ministers. The first row closest to the high platform is King Ding, followed by the third prince guarded by the Duke of Liu Guo, and then there are several other lords. Yin Wuxin, Huai'an Hou, was arranged in the second row, counting down the third position from above.

This position, Li Junran said that he was quite satisfied. King Qi, who had a large figure in front of him, blocked most of his view. On the left hand side is Feng Jinming, and on the right hand side is the Xiu Tu son of the Taishi family. Feng Jinming's eldest brother, Feng Jinyu, the son of King Ding, sat in the first seat in the second row, that is, behind King Ding. After the third row, all the ministers who sat in the third rank and above were in the middle of the court, and they were arranged according to their ranks.

As for the first two rows on the right, the princes (princes) and princesses and several first-class ladies are seated, and the third row is the ladies of the courtiers' families.

"Demons." Li Junran keenly saw Cheng Yuyan among many beautiful girls who were like flowers and jade.

"Huh?"

"Hasn't the border been flat lately?" Li Junran lowered her voice and asked softly.

Feng Jinming, who was carefully choosing which small pill was more pleasing to the eye, hesitated for a moment, and then asked with a smile: "Why do you ask that?" ”

"I saw Cheng Yuyan, the eldest lady of the Cheng Mansion."

In fact, it was not strange to see Cheng Yuyan at the banquet of the ministers. Although Cheng Yuyan's father Cheng Qingye is just a person, he is also the second son of Cheng Ge's hometown. Today, Emperor Jingshun invited the courtiers to celebrate the Chinese New Year's Eve together, and not only Elder Cheng Ge and Old Lady Cheng attended. Even Lord Cheng appeared in the main hall with his wife and a pair of children from his grandson. Cheng Yuyan is the granddaughter of Cheng Ge's old son-in-law. It's not surprising that they appeared together.

The strange thing is that Cheng Zhang's is also on this invitation list.

Obviously, this is not for the sake of Cheng Ge's face. Cheng Zhang's is now just a lady. But in the end, she is the daughter of the Zhang family. And she is also the only daughter of the Zhang family. And Cheng Yuyan. She is also the only (foreign) granddaughter in the third generation of the Zhang family. Zhang's family, Weiguo Gong Zhang's family. The current Duke Wei Guo is Cheng Yuyan's grandfather, and Cheng Yuyan's two uncles and an official worship the general of the second grade. Responsible for guarding the west gate of the Apocalypse, the other has now been promoted to the Ministry of War.

"This year...... Jiangnan is not the only one suffering from drought. ”

"So, I guessed right?"

"It's just a little bit of friction."

Feng Jinming finally picked the little balls that were the most pleasing to the eye, and then carefully sandwiched the balls into Li Junran's bowl: "Taste it, wine-brewed meatballs." ”

Li Junran frowned, she really didn't have any love for wine-brewed meatballs or something.

"Don't worry, you can't fight yet. However, the situation is not as peaceful as it was in previous years. ”

"Looks like I'm going to have some blood today." Li Junran said helplessly.

"Do you want me to help you?"

"On what terms?" Li Junran didn't think that the demon beside him would be so kind to contribute for free, so naturally he had to give some blood. Anyway, you can't hide from it, so naturally the less the better.

But if there is a war...... I'm afraid I'll have to plan again. Whether the material loss is small, the key is people. An army is needed to fight a war, and where do the people of the army come from? It's not about requisitioning unarmed civilians yet. Therefore, if possible, it is naturally better not to fight.

"You should do one thing to me when you turn back. Rest assured, it won't embarrass you. ”

"Okay, yes." This time, Li Junran didn't hesitate any longer, and agreed to Feng Jinming. After responding, Li Junran raised his head and continued to enjoy the singing and dancing performance, although it was a little boring, it was better to talk than nothing. Who would have thought that when she raised her head, she saw a person who should not have appeared in the main hall - Cheng Yuyao!

"Strange, why is the second Miss Cheng Fu here?"

It's no wonder that Li Junran is strange. According to the usual ceremony, those family members who are eligible to participate in the banquet of the courtiers on the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve must not be the wives and children of the Ming media. In other words, the children of the concubine are not qualified to show up under normal circumstances.

"Nothing strange. This Miss Cheng Er composed a tune, which is very good. After the introduction of His Royal Highness King Qi, he will perform on stage in front of His Majesty in a while. ”

"Oh oh oh oh ~"

"What tune?"

"It is said to be "Loyal to the Country".

"Loyal to the country?" It can't be that one. Li Junran hesitated.

Li Junran was mixed in the middle of the black and oppressive ministers, don't look at the low altitude, because the golden outfit on his body is still quite eye-catching. What's more, there is also Feng Jinming, a demon with its own luminous lighting effect, by his side. No, Emperor Invecis, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked around a little and found two light bulbs (luminous bodies) with amazing brightness.

Li Junran, who was keenly aware of Emperor Jingshun's gaze, smiled and picked up the tea cup in his hand, saluted from a distance, and then turned his head and continued to talk to Feng Jinming. It can be seen that Emperor Jingshun is in a good mood today, although there is still a little tiredness between his eyebrows.

The Empress of the Middle Palace, who had been paying attention to the changes in Emperor Jingshun's expression, obviously also noticed Li Junran's side, especially after seeing Li Junran's radiant robe, she couldn't help but admire: "Although Wuxin said that this child looks ordinary, his clothes look very good, and I don't know which skilled craftsman is here." ”

"It's just a piece of clothing, no matter how beautiful it is......" Concubine Liu Shu, who was sitting in the position of the queen of the middle palace, glanced at Li Junran's direction disapprerovingly, although she didn't see it clearly because of the distance, she was also attracted by the brilliant luster, "Oh, it's really extraordinary." ”

For jewelry, gorgeous clothes, women, like the legendary dragon, can't resist the temptation.

"Unintentional." Originally, Emperor Jingshun didn't plan to come by name so early, but seeing Li Junran and Feng Jinming chatting hotly and laughing, there was a little bit of unhappiness in his heart, it was really only a little bit.

Emperor Jingshun's not loud call directly made the originally lively main hall quiet all of a sudden. (To be continued.) )
