Chapter Seventy-Two: The State Banquet

Ming Ran had forgotten how she was separated from Xiao Yichen that day, and the only thing she remembered was his words on the street that day and night.

Today, I am about to enter the palace to participate in the palace banquet, and I heard that the prince and princess of Li Guo entered the palace yesterday.

Except for Xiao Yichen, she didn't say anything about that day.

"County Lord?" Whisk Moon whispered beside Ming Ran.

Ming Ran put away his thoughts, looked at the brass mirror, was helped up by the breeze, and stepped out.

Sitting in the carriage, she bowed her head all the way and pondered, without saying a word.

Mrs. Ming stayed in the mansion to recuperate because she was unwell, and Ming Ran followed Marquis Ning Yuan and Ming Zhan into the palace together.

For this palace banquet, most of the matters were decided by Ming Ran, and after arranging everything, she left the palace, and the rest was handled by Concubine Liu.

In the Jiuxiao Palace, the smooth jade ground is shining, the fruity incense permeates the entire hall, from top to bottom, there are long wooden tables in turn, in the middle of the top, is the carved dragon wooden table, the emperor's seat, the right side of the head, is the peony carved wooden table, the queen mother's seat, the queen mother's seat below is the seat of the concubine Liu.

On the opposite side is a carved blue lotus wooden table, on which there are four seats, reserved for the envoys of the Li State and the Jiang State.

The hall below, headed by the seat of the Rongguo Mansion, because the Rongguo Duke is old and no longer participates in the palace banquet, he is led by Mu Da.

Originally, Mu Zhiyan should have become the prince a long time ago, but because he was the commander of the forbidden army in the palace, he was unwilling to attack the prince too early, so he never inherited the title.

Marquis Ning Yuan led Ming Ran and Ming Zhan into the hall together, and the seats behind him were already full of men in regular clothes, and behind them were family members.

Walking all the way forward, the officials got up one after another and stepped forward to greet Ning Yuanhou.

As we all know, Ming Ran is already the queen of the king, and the Marquis of Ning Yuan will soon be the ruler of the country, and his status will be on an equal footing with Mu Fu.

Ming Ran smiled all the way to the seat, and saw that Mu Zhiyan was already sitting on the seat with Lu Clan. Ming Ran got up and walked in front of Mu Zhiyan, "Uncle, aunt." ”

Mu Zhiyang nodded, Lu stretched out his hand to Ming Ran, Ming Ran walked up to her and held her hand, "Uncle." ”

Lu looked at her with a smile, "Today's palace banquet is very good, Dye'er can already take charge of herself, and your uncle and I are relieved." ”

Ming Ran raised a wry smile, "Thanks to my aunt's help, if you rely on Dye alone, you will definitely not be able to do a good job of the palace banquet." ”

Lu looked at the Ming Dye body, wearing a snow-white glazed phoenix brocade and a gilded phoenix tail crown, which really overshadowed the people in the hall, showing her stunning beauty.

"In the future, if there is a queen mother by her side, everything will be fine." Lu's eyes were red, and his words were punned. She loved Ming Ran as her own daughter, and when she heard that Ming Ran was going to enter the palace, she begged Mu Zhiyan for a long time, and finally understood that it was widely implicated, so she had to give up persuasion.

Her hand tidied up Mingran's clothes, and in the future, this child she watched grow up with will be difficult to see again all year round.

"Aunt rest assured, Dye and Aunt will take care of each other in the future." With a smile on her eyebrows, she took Lu's hand and comforted her.

She understands that the Lu family is wronged for her, because the Mu family has always been very resistant to the palace, and they all think that the palace is a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones, so in the eyes of the Lu family, she marrying into the palace is entering a cage, and she is struggling in a group of women with ill intentions.

Lu smiled and nodded.

There was a shout outside the hall, and the emperor and the queen mother entered the hall.

Ming Ran returned to his seat, and the audience stood up and saluted. After getting up after saluting, she saw that the seat of King Chen opposite was already seated, Xiao Yichen glanced at her, and her face did not change.

The prince of Jiang Guo was dressed in a black dress, with a smile on his face, saluted Xiao Yiqian, and sat on the seat.

Soon, there was a shout from outside the hall that the prince of Li Guo entered the palace.

I saw a man and a woman at the red paint gate, masculine and masculine, and the woman was unearthly, and the hall was boiling instantly, discussing Feng Yiche's peerless appearance.

Ming Ran glanced at Feng Yiche and looked at the woman beside him, melon seed face, distant mountain eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, high nose bridge, small mouth hooked on both sides, and a touching smile at the corner of his mouth.

Walking beside Feng Yiche, his face was raised, and his elegant figure moved forward step by step.

What a peerless beauty.

Feng Yiche's slender phoenix eyes were crooked, the corners of his mouth hooked up a charming smile, and he walked into the hall step by step with chic steps.

As he passed in front of Mingran, he unexpectedly looked sideways at her, raised his eyebrows slightly, and the smile on his lips deepened, smiling at her.

Mingran's face turned red, and he immediately lowered his head.

The people in the entire hall saw the movements of the two, opened their mouths wide, and they didn't dare to say more, so they had to pretend that they hadn't seen it, and hurriedly lowered their heads.

The Queen Mother and Mu Zhiyan glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of suspicion.

Xiao Yiqian's face changed even more, his eyes looked at Ming Ran, and soon he looked at Feng Yiche, and his heart was full of anger.

Feng Yiche walked to the bottom of the jade steps as if he were ignoring it, and arched his hand towards it: "Participate in the Emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty." ”

Xiao Yiqian's face softened, "Prince Li Guo is exempt, let's take a seat." ”

Feng Yiche did not step forward, his face was gentle, and he smiled at Xiao Yiqian: "Your Majesty, this is the tenth princess of the Li Kingdom, and she is here for this peace." ”

In an instant, there was an uproar in the hall, and the ministers approached left and right and talked in whispers.

Xiao Yiqian looked at the Queen Mother, only to see the Queen Mother staring at Feng Yiche with a cold face, and her face was cold.

He looked at the restlessness below, let them discuss, and after a long time, he asked indifferently, "The Ten Princes are mainly with the Heavenly Empire?" ”

Feng Yiche nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

"The crown prince must not know that the Celestial Empire has been appointed as a queen some time ago, but I am afraid that I will disappoint the tenth princess."

The people in the hall all looked upward, and occasionally one or two people would quietly look at Ning Yuanhou and Ming Ran.

Feng Yiche smiled faintly, "Your Majesty, in order to show sincerity, Li Guo specially married the noble princess into the Celestial Empire, and is only willing to reconcile with the Celestial Empire forever, and the harmony is a witness between the two countries, and it is also to prove that the Li Kingdom and the Celestial Empire are friendly countries, is the emperor unwilling to accept this friendship of the Celestial Empire?" ”

I believe that everyone who hears this understands that this is a exchange for the relationship between the two countries.

Li Guo is willing to marry the princess into the Celestial Empire, which is already conducive to the relationship between the two countries and can also promote the friendship between the two countries.

But the point is that some time ago, the lord of Fenghua County had been canonized as the queen, and now he suddenly killed a princess of the Li Kingdom, and the status is self-evident, and it is impossible to make the princess of a country a concubine.

If this is the case, it will only make Li Guo feel that the Celestial Empire looks down on this marriage.

Xiao Yiqian stood up and said to Feng Yiche, "Didn't the prince hear clearly?" I have already said that there is a queen in the Celestial Empire, she is the concubine of the Marquis of Ningyuan, I will not wronged her, nor can I marry another, Li Guo's heart, I have received it, and the queen of the Celestial Empire can only be her. ”
