Chapter 6: The State Banquet

The border pass was a great victory, and the foreign countries sent a large number of tributes, and this time the hussar general led the three armies to fight the barbarian state bowed down to the vassals, and the emperor naturally wanted to hold a celebration banquet to reward the three armies.

The celebration banquet is a national blessing, the emperor will be civil and military officials banquet book, of course, Yongchang officials can bring their families into the palace.

The state banquet was held in the Yonghua Palace, as a mediocre and incompetent emperor, such a thing as holding a celebration banquet is naturally to be handed over to the virtuous queen mother, and the beautiful name is the emperor's value and trust in the queen mother.

And Yan Yu, as a quasi-concubine, naturally wanted to accompany the ninth princess to attend the state banquet.

Even if the princess is a royal family, in front of the 'ceremony', it is natural to pay attention to the defense of men and women, but the ninth princess is an exception. The Ninth Princess and Yan Yu are not afraid of people's words, such as big occasions like state banquets, they still go their own way, the two of them snuggle together like beautiful people, holding their little hands around their waists.

The ninth princess is the queen's descendant, and Yu is the only son of the Yan family, the two are very compatible in terms of identity and appearance, not to mention that they are an unmarried couple, and the one who is not long-sighted dares to talk nonsense in front of them.

Yan Yu took the hand of the ninth princess and walked into the Yonghua Palace, everyone has long been accustomed to it, it is really enviable to be so cared for by the amazing and gorgeous 'Jingcheng Yulang', the husband is like this, what more can a woman ask for? But there are still people who are envious, jealous and hateful about this, such as the female dependents present at this moment, among these 'female dependents' naturally include the seventh princess, Chu Changsu.

The ninth princess swore with her woman's sixth sense that the eyes of these female dependents were not pure, and they dared to covet her fiancé? Especially when she met Chu Changsu's gaze, the ninth princess's chin was slightly raised, and she couldn't help but smile at him defiantly, and then hugged Yan Yu's arm and swore her sovereignty publicly.

Yan Yu didn't feel the turbulence between these women, but thought that the ninth princess was arrogant and didn't care.

The world says that the ninth princess is arrogant and unreasonable, but only Yan Yu understands that this is just spoiled by her! From childhood to adulthood, as long as it is what she wants, she will try her best to satisfy her, others can only see the surface scenery of the ninth princess, but who would have thought that the ninth princess is just a child whose father does not hurt? The emperor poured all his favor into the mother and daughter of the imperial concubine, and only the superficial scenery was left for the queen mother and daughter.

As long as she is there, she will always be by her side, allowing her to be carefree in this life, and she will always be the innocent ninth princess.

But Yan Yu also understands that it is too difficult for her to protect this piece of innocence, especially when she was born in the imperial family.

The banquet began, and the emperor and queen walked hand in hand, followed by the rest of the concubines.

The emperor and the queen sat at the top of the Yonghua Palace, and His Royal Highness knelt with a piece of courtiers and daughters, and everyone said: "See the emperor, the queen mother, long live my emperor, long live long live, long live the mother." ”

"The Qing's family is flat."

"Your Majesty."

The protagonist of the state banquet is the emperor, and the arrival of the emperor means that the banquet has officially begun.

Women and men should not be able to sit at the same table, but the ninth princess and Yan Yu are particularly conspicuous.

After the celebration banquet began, so many women and gentlemen who had not yet left the pavilion naturally couldn't just drink wine and eat delicious food here.

The arrangers of this palace banquet were worried that these nobles would be bored, so they prepared games such as pitching pots for the women to play.

Although Yan Yu thought that it was inappropriate for her to be a 'man' here, the ninth princess insisted on keeping her, and she had no choice but to compromise.

Among the many women, Yan Yu is very conspicuous. Dressed in brocade, she is still handsome and gentle as jade.

The pitcher game isn't difficult, but it's not easy either. These boudoir ladies can occasionally hit a few.

But there are always people who are different, just like the seventh princess Chu Changsu, who is so successful, which is especially rare.

Although the ninth princess didn't like Chu Changsu very much, she had to admit that his ability to throw pots was really good.

The ninth princess's pitching skills are also very powerful, but they still can't compare with Chu Changsu.

The ladies were amazed by the excellent pitching skills of the Seventh Princess, so they slowly stopped to watch him show off his skills alone.

"Hmph, what's the big deal, isn't it just a few shots?" The ninth princess was not very happy, and was in the limelight by Chu Changsu again.

Chu Changsu obviously heard her words, so he said unceremoniously: "Oh? Xiao Jiu, do you have an opinion? It's better to have a try with the imperial sister. Chu Changsu hooked his lips playfully and looked at the ninth princess defiantly.

"Compare to whom, who is afraid of whom." The Ninth Princess really responded.

I don't know if it's Yan Yu's illusion, but I always feel that the seventh princess seems to have glanced at him just now, and Yan Yu can't help but worry about Chu Chu.

With a bang, I saw the ninth princess shoot the arrow into the pitcher, and the ninth princess was undoubtedly happy. She glanced at Chu Changsu proudly, and raised her head arrogantly at Yan Yu.

Yan Yu smiled at her dotingly, but she was still worried about the Ninth Princess.

When it was Chu Changsu's turn, he played with the arrow handle in his hand, looked at the pitcher casually, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a charming arc.

Raise your hand and throw, and there is a bang. It was not that he hit the pitcher, but that he shot the arrow of the Ninth Princess from the pitcher, and there were so many arrows in the pitcher, but he missed the Ninth Princess.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Jiu, my hand slipped." An insincere apology.

Yan Yu's eyes darkened, and he glanced at the seventh princess lightly.

Chu Changsu looked directly at Yan Yu and smiled back at her, his already stunning face became even more vivid.

After all, she is the first beauty in the capital, how can she not be charming?

Unfortunately, this scene was captured by the Ninth Princess. The ninth princess was even more angry, her delicate little face puffed out her cheeks angrily, and the anger in her eyes could not be concealed.

This slut! Dare to seduce Yulang in front of her!

The ninth princess naturally didn't follow, shaking Yan Yu's arm and being coquettish, shouting for her to be her master.

Yan Yu has a headache about this, where there are women, it is trouble. It's really cut, and it's messy.

"Yunzhi, let's go hunting! See what's the point of pitching pots. Xiao Shizi's timely appearance is undoubtedly Yan Yu's savior.

At a celebration banquet like this, the fun of the children is hunting.

"It's okay," Yan Yu responded to Chu Yichen, turned around and said softly to the Ninth Princess, "Chu Chu, I'll hunt a fawn for you back, okay?" ”

Others don't know, doesn't she know that Yan Yu is a woman? She went hunting, she was really not at ease, and the ninth princess was worried about Yan Yu.

The ninth princess is thinking about her, how could she not know? Yan Yu touched her head soothingly, her gaze was very firm.

Helpless, the ninth princess could only compromise.

Looking at Yan Yu's distant back, Chu Changsu's fingers hidden in the cuffs were clenched fiercely. From the beginning to the end, she didn't look at him squarely! Is everything he does a clown in his eyes?

Looking at the Ninth Princess on the side, Chu Changsu's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, is she so good...... What if he ruined her?

She is not as weak as Chu Chu imagined, after all, she was the Dark Emperor in power, and she is naturally not a problem when it comes to riding and shooting.

"Yu, let's have a game." Jiang Feng couldn't help but gear up when he saw that his friends had arrived.

"This is the general back, why don't you usually see you like this?" Ye Shanggong joked.

"It looks like Ah Feng has to be the top spot this time? Pity this son of the world, and be ridiculed by you bad friends. "Chu Xiaoshizi's annual hunting results are not satisfactory, and among several people, his riding and archery is the worst, so naturally he will inevitably be teased by his brothers.

"Kaede, you're the best of us to ride, so ...... Do me a small favor. Yan Yu promised Chu Chu to hunt a sika deer for her, so naturally she didn't dare to break her promise.

Jiang Feng: "......"

Ye Shanggong: "......"

Chu Yichen: "......"

Yan Yu's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was helpless (╯_╰)

Her skills are limited, and she can catch her prey, but whether she is alive or dead is not guaranteed.

Everyone was silent, and it was obvious that this was not the first time that Yan Yu had asked them to help with this kind of thing. You don't need to ask to know that it must have something to do with the Nine Princesses.

Under the leadership of the emperor, the princes and princes went to the imperial garden enclosure to hunt, although the Yongchang Dynasty was a little heavy on literature and light on martial arts, but there were not a few people with superb martial arts among the courtiers, not to mention that the emperor really liked to hunt, so he hunted with the courtiers at every opportunity.

Because of the pacification of the border, the general contributed a lot, from the emperor and the crown prince, down to the courtiers, more than hundreds of people participated in this royal hunt, including several princesses, and the nobles of the family also came to join in the fun.

Although the princess and the nobles just came to see the excitement, it did not prevent the emperor's nature from being happy.

The emperor and the general went out hunting, and then the emperor watched the hunt, and the prince and the son of the minister had a hunting competition, (although the prince was a straw bag, it was not that he would know nothing, after all, there was a prince as a teacher).

The prey they hunted was recorded in a book so that they could be ranked at the end of the day, and the one who hunted the most and most powerful prey was the winner, and the emperor would reward him at that time.

The crown prince went hunting with the sons of the nobles.

Among them, Yan Yu and Ye Shanggong, Chu Shizi, Jiang Feng and others naturally included.

Several people tried their best to fight for the first place, and even chased a prey and released arrows. Among several people, Jiang Feng is the best in riding and shooting, but they are all friends, who doesn't know who! None of them meant to be polite.

In the end, several of the prey were also covered with arrows with the names of several of them written on them.

When it was time to count the prey at the end of the hunt, Yan Yunzhi of the Yan family ranked third, the prince and Jiang Feng tied for first, Ye Shanggong ranked sixth, and the fourth and fifth in the middle were Lang Jun of the Qi family and the Wang family, two military generals.

The emperor was very surprised when he heard the result, obviously he didn't believe his son, but he couldn't say anything about it.

"It's really a tiger father without a dog!" The emperor looked at Jiang Feng and praised the general.

"The dog is stubborn, and there is a comparison with His Royal Highness the Prince." The general said modestly.

"Hahaha...... "The emperor is undoubtedly a dragon-hearted joy.
