Chapter Ninety-Six: The Reception Banquet
"What if you don't give up?" An Jingxuan let go of the cup in his hand.
"If the son of the world is unwilling, it is better to continue to fight."
"She's probably not going to want to see me at all now, and whatever I do is in vain."
"What if An Shizi holds the power?" Pei Ji looked at An Jingxuan, "In this imperial city, power is the best way to achieve all goals, if An Shizi holds power one day, even the emperor will be afraid of you, will he choose to marry the eldest princess to An Shizi at that time, so as to win it over?" ”
Pei Ji's words suddenly smashed into An Jingxuan's heart, if he really holds power one day, maybe at that time, the emperor will really take the initiative to give marriage.
But......
"Do you want this son to fight for power?" An Jingxuan looked at Pei Ji and said a little unkindly, "Although this city only agreed to accept you as a guest, this does not mean that you can achieve your goal by instigating this son." ”
"I really hope to help the prince to make contributions and realize his own value, but for the prince and the next, it is not about one party using the other, but a win-win situation." Pei Ji smiled calmly.
An Jingxuan looked at Pei Ji, he naturally didn't like to be used by others, but he also had to admit that what Pei Ji said was indeed reasonable.
Although he is now the prince of King An's Mansion and also participates in the affairs of the court, after all, he has too little power in his hands, so that Feng Yihan dares to be so presumptuous in front of him.
There is also this marriage event, and the father keeps saying that he should bear the responsibility as a son, and he has no choice at all.
But if one day he can really hold the power, and even make the emperor a little jealous, at that time, all the choices will naturally be in his hands.
"Even if you say that, how can you achieve this win-win situation?"
Hearing this, Pei Ji understood that An Jingxuan was moved.
"This point is a disciple of the prince, so he will naturally plan for the prince."
"Okay." An Jingxuan picked up the teacup in front of him again, "Then I hope that Pei Gongzi's advice will not disappoint this son." ”
……
Because of the visit of the Dongyang envoy, classes were also suspended in the study.
It's just that Yun Qingyan didn't sleep for long, but was quickly quarreled with by Qiu'er, and then dressed up.
"Isn't the banquet to welcome the envoys tonight, as for dressing up so early?"
Yun Qingyan couldn't help frowning when she looked at herself in the mirror with exquisite makeup, from her hairline to her meticulous clothes.
The eldest princess's formal makeup and costumes are beautiful, but they are a little too cumbersome, and the headdress is a little too heavy.
"Princess, this time the matter is related to the two countries, you must not be sloppy, the slave maid will dress up for you as soon as possible, if there is anything inappropriate, you can also seize the time to adjust. When it's time for the evening banquet, the princess will surely be able to dominate the crowd. ”
Qiu'er looked at Yun Qingyan in the mirror and said with a smile.
Although the princess doesn't like to dress up very much on weekdays, she is completely dressed up today, and she is simply radiant.
Yun Qingyan shrugged his shoulders and sighed, "I didn't think about going to dominate Qunfang, how can this dress be as comfortable as what I usually wear." ”
"Princess, your usual outfit is really too casual to be suitable for a solemn occasion, and tonight in addition to you, there are other princesses and the ladies of those officials' families to attend together. You are the eldest princess, and you must not lose to them. ”
Qiu'er's tone was a little hateful, if it was placed in the past, even if it was in the past, the reputation of the princess is in full swing now. Not to mention the princesses and county lords tonight, I'm afraid that the ladies of those officials' families are full of breath and want to compare with the princess.
"Alright, you're up to the crackers." Yun Qingyan looked at Qiu'er's appearance as if she was facing a great enemy, and she couldn't laugh or cry.
Finally, when it was time for the banquet in the evening, Qiu'er carefully took care of Yun Qingyan's hair and makeup, and then the master and servant set off to the banquet venue.
This banquet was different from the past, so Emperor Yun did not set the banquet in the imperial garden according to his preferences, but specially set the location in the banquet hall in the palace.
Yun Qingyan arrived not too early, and many people had already arrived. The first thing I saw was a cloud and moon in full costume.
And take a look at the other people around you, each of them is dressed in gorgeous clothes and carefully dressed.
Yun Qingyan tilted his head slightly, and said to Qiu'er on the side: "It seems that your decision today is right, if I come over in my usual clothes, I'm afraid that I will already become the focus of everyone." ”
mixed in this gorgeous dress, his usual dress really seemed a little too simple and shabby.
"So princess, you must not be troublesome, such an occasion must not be compared to others." Qiu'er quietly looked around, "But among all the women who came to the slave maid, there is no one who can compare to the princess." ”
"It's sweet in your mouth." Yun Qingyan smiled, didn't pay much attention, but walked to his seat and sat down.
This time, among the envoys visiting Dongyang Kingdom, the most honorable one was the prince.
And between Dongyang and Chu Yun, although it seems that the two countries are friendly now, there was still a war a few years ago.
Many people living at border passes have been harassed by the flames of war for many years and have suffered unspeakably. It is precisely because of this that in the past few years, the two countries have gradually become friendly and have ceased war. It's just that it's not clear how long this peace will last.
From the moment Yun Qingyan came in, Yun Xiyue's gaze never moved away from her, and there was undisguised hatred in her eyes.
Seeing Yun Qingyan sit down, Yun Xiyue walked in front of her.
"There are so many officials and nobles here today, how can the imperial sister not say hello to everyone after she comes in, the eyes are higher than the top on weekdays, and it doesn't matter if you don't put everyone in your eyes, it is better for the imperial sister to talk about some etiquette on an occasion like today."
Yun Xiyue's voice was not deliberately lowered, and many official ladies heard this and looked at it one after another.
Yun Qingyan raised her eyebrows helplessly, Yun Xiyue really didn't have the slightest intention of forbearance, and she came up to find trouble as soon as she came in.
"What the third sister said is right, there should still be some etiquette on an occasion like today. But it's because of the etiquette that the princess shouldn't take the initiative to greet the official ladies, according to their identity, they should come over to say hello to the princess. Yun Qingyan sighed, "Thinking that there are so many official ladies present, everyone is looking for a suitable opportunity, so they didn't rush up to say hello." As soon as the third sister said this, it seemed as if everyone didn't know the etiquette as well as you. ”
