Chapter 63: The Reception Banquet
Everyone looked at the location of Nangong Li, their eyes gathered, and Yan Rong knew that the prime minister's youngest daughter was referring to herself.
"Back to the emperor, the courtiers want to ask what the name of that prince is?" Jingman turned to the emperor and said.
"Jingman, wasn't the hairpin on your head given to General Yan by the palace?" The queen exclaimed. Everyone was confused again, how could the hairpin rewarded by the queen be with the third lady of the prime minister.
"Back to the queen, it was given to the third lady by the minister." Yan Rong said. In this situation, Yan Rong had no choice but to tell the truth, he shouldn't have tried to save trouble and deceive other girls.
"That's really fate, Jingman, this is General Yan, the princess of Prince Rong." The queen said with a smile, but she didn't know that Jingman had slowly walked in front of Yan Rong.
"But I remember when you said at the door of the jade shop that there was still a wife at home, how could it be?" Jingman looked at Yan Rong and said.
"Third Miss, Miss mistook me for a man that day, I thought it was no big deal, so I made a mistake and went wrong, but I didn't expect it."
"I didn't expect that we would meet for the third time, but at that time, Childe also said that if we met for the third time, I would definitely tell me my name, and I did finally know your name." Jingman said with a bad face.
"The prime minister also said that he would not let his daughter go out of the house, who would have thought that this group of children would have met a long time ago, no matter what, they are all in the capital, and they can take care of each other, not bad." The emperor said.
"Yes, it's really fate that General Yan and the little girl know each other, Jingman, this is the female general of our Great Apocalypse, and it is also your blessing that you know her." The prime minister also said with a smile.
"Yes." Jingman replied, but the listlessness on his face could be seen, and the handkerchief he held tightly in his hand.
"Everyone has arrived, let's start the banquet, today is a good day for the eldest princess to return to the palace and the prime minister's eldest son to return to Beijing, I am very happy in my heart, everyone does not need to be restrained, it is best to be happy." After the emperor sat down, he said to the people below.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The singing and dancing began, snacks, meals, and drinks were all put on the table, and the banquet was started.
"Yan Rong, what's the situation, when did you meet the third lady of the prime minister?" Nangong Li hadn't come over from what happened just now, and he thought that the third lady was referring to him, but he didn't expect it to be his daughter-in-law, so he really couldn't understand it.
"It's okay, I just met twice, but both times she recognized me as a man, and I didn't explain it when I got used to it, so I was a little embarrassed to meet today." Yan Rong turned his face sideways and said to Nangong Li.
"Self-inflicted, how many times has this king said that women should wear women's clothes, and whoever wears men's clothes like you all day long will recognize you."
"I've been at the border for so long, and I've been treated as a man for more than ten years, I care about what I do, but I didn't expect these three young ladies to be quite serious."
"I also think that these three young ladies are really not easy to mess with, you see, I still hope we can see it now!" Nangong Li leaned in and whispered.
Yan Rong immediately turned his face when he heard this, and found that the third young lady was indeed staring at him, complaining. Yan Rong couldn't, so he had to raise his wine glass to Jingman to show respect. Who knew that the third young lady snorted coldly, turned her face away, and still held her wine glass with a blank face. Yan Rong had no choice but to drink it himself.
And all this is in full view of another person.
"Nangong Li, I want to go out for a walk, I've drunk a little too much." Yan Rong felt that his face was a little hot, so he wanted to go out and blow the wind. It just so happened that the emperor and everyone were enjoying the song and dance, and no one cared about themselves.
"Let you drink less, don't listen, you go and rest, and remember to come back later." Nangong Li didn't forget to complain.
"Hmm." Yan Rong smiled and nodded.
Yan Rong quietly walked out from behind when everyone was not paying attention, Nangong Yu saw it, and wanted to go out to have a look, but thinking of where he was, and Xiao Li didn't move, he was even more inappropriate.
Yan Rong came to the outside of the hall, he just didn't like this kind of restrained banquet, he wanted to follow the brothers, in the prairie, in the desert to eat meat, drink a lot of scenes, think about it and feel comfortable, Yan Rong came to a sea of flowers, now the weather has become colder, but I didn't expect the flowers here to bloom so brightly.
"I thought he was a handsome boy, but I never thought he was a beautiful girl." When Yan Rong was still admiring the flowers, he heard someone say something in the back. Yan Rong turned around, and it was Rong Zhi who walked towards him.
"Young Master Rong laughed." Yan Rong didn't know why Rong Zhi would follow, but he still replied.
"General Yan, or Princess Rong?" Rong Zhi asked.
"Feel free, call me a face."
"Yan Rong, there are no useless people in the Yan family for generations, all of them are pillars who can afford the danger of the Great Apocalypse, and that's true." Rong Zhi said with a smile.
"Prince Rong is a talent appointed by the emperor, and he is one of the few outstanding people in the court, and he is even more admired by the world." Yan Rong also replied.
"You and I have known each other, when I was rescued, I was thinking, this person is really different, I didn't expect that the female general that the people are talking about these days is the son who saved me, no, the girl who saved me." Rong Zhi said.
"Prince Rong is wrong, it's not a girl who saved you, it's the princess of this king, the princess has always been chivalrous, and it happened that Prince Rong was in danger, and it is normal to come to the rescue, but this king is very distressed about the princess, don't hurt yourself for others." I don't know when, Nangong Li suddenly appeared and naturally walked to Yan Rong's side.
"Lord Rong, I didn't expect to say goodbye, the little prince has grown up and married the first female general of our Daqi, but it's a pity that I couldn't attend the wedding banquet of the two, it's a pity." Rong Zhi didn't expect Nangong Li to be elusive.
"Don't be sorry for the eldest prince Rong, this king didn't think about inviting you, just get acquainted, if the princess offends the prince in any way, I hope the prince doesn't care." Nangong Li continued.
"Why, Yan Rong is my savior, where can I not be offended, right?" Rong Zhi threw the question to Yan Rong.
"Lord, today is a reception banquet organized by the emperor, and we can't be outside all the time, besides, Prince Rong is the main person today, and the emperor will be worried after leaving for a long time." Yan Rong didn't go to pick up Rong Zhi's words, but wanted to go back.
"Okay." Nangong Li took Yan Rong's hand, glanced at Rong Zhi and left. Rong Zhi smiled himself and followed in.
After the two of them sat in their seats, Nangong Li pulled his hand out.
"Your Majesty, you were worried that Prince Rong and General Yan would not get along well, didn't you see it, but the two of them came in hand in hand just now!" The queen said to the emperor.
"Yes, I said a long time ago, husband and wife should get along well, both are good children, eldest sister, you don't have to worry." The emperor said to Nangong again.
Yan Rong naturally heard it, but he didn't answer.
"Where did Zhi'er just go?" The emperor saw Rong Zhi, who had just returned from outside, and asked.
"Back to the emperor, I saw a sea of flowers, which was very strange, clustered, and very beautiful."
"Deacon, you may not know that this is carefully planted by the emperor, and the seeds are obtained from various regions, of course it is amazing." The queen said.
"Although there are many flowers, but to choose the best one among them, it is still the peony flower, which is a rich and auspicious flower, and the mother of the world." Rong Zhi said, everyone understood that he was praising his sister.
"Your sister and brother are deeply affectionate, but the king of flowers is not borne by everyone, and the hardships and tiredness in it are also very bearable." Nangong Xi said lightly.
"Didn't the eldest princess like wisteria flowers before?" The prime minister said. The prime minister looked at the old man, but forgot that there was another person who also liked wisteria flowers.
"I liked it before, because the first queen also liked it, and the first queen was gone, so I didn't like it anymore, but now I prefer that touch of bamboo, green and elegant." Nangong Xi said with a gloomy expression.
mentioned the first queen, everyone here did not dare to talk nonsense, the emperor's expression was also a little complicated, the queen's originally smiling cheeks couldn't hold it anymore, her face looked at Nangong Li, Nangong Li's good-looking eyes were also gone, under the high bridge of her nose, her eyelashes hung down at the corners of her eyes, and she must have missed the first queen in her heart.
"The first queen really likes wisteria flowers, I still remember that the wisteria flowers bloomed all over the yard one after another, as soon as I entered, the blue and purple flowers were entangled in the vines, and it took so long for many years." The emperor said.
"Father." Nangong Yu shouted softly, and the emperor glanced at Nangong Yu and smiled bitterly.
"Your Majesty, it's the courtiers who are not good, and I mentioned sad things." Nangong Xi originally thought that it was to give the queen a dismount, but he never wanted to make the whole atmosphere sink down.
"The past is unforgettable, but the Si people are gone, and we are looking at each other in the next life, what I can do is to fulfill her wishes, protect the Great Apocalypse, and protect our home." The emperor frowned.
"Don't mention the past, by the way, the emperor, the courtiers want to come to this capital, and they are used to being comfortable in the meditation, it just so happens that Li'er has just married again, and there is no one else in the house, and the child is not like other women. I thought about going to Rong's house to help and talk about my aunt and nephew. Nangong Xi said.
"I don't need the eldest sister to say, I understand that Li Er didn't move out of the palace before, and now Li Er has set up her own mansion, Yan Rong not only has to manage the affairs of the capital school every day, but also has to manage the situation of the enemy army in all directions, the eldest sister goes to their mansion, and it is good to rectify and rectify, and the people in the province are lazy." The emperor said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Nangong Xi said with a smile.
The banquet was quite normal, and the prime minister's family was also amiable, except for the third lady, who kept staring at Yan Rong, even Rong Zhi would look at Yan Rong from time to time. Yan Rong knew that in Rong Zhi's heart, he was a stumbling block for his father, so from the very beginning, Yan Rong had always had a problem with Rong Zhi in his heart.
The banquet was about to end, Yan Rong waited for everyone to leave, thinking about talking to the emperor about repairing the school, the school was not enough for the soldiers, and the emperor wanted to expand some people, so he had to repair them, and some old weapons had to be built with a new batch.
"General Yan, please stay!"
