Chapter Twenty-Four: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Arrives
Yan Song slowly walked in from outside the door with the Li family, and his temperament was not lost at all, even in the comparison of this full royal guest.
In the middle of the banquet hall was a large carved banquet table, which was the position of Yan Song and the Li family.
Under the main seat, from north to south, there are four large rosewood tables in the east and west, and the prince of the three kingdoms of Fengxia, Half Moon and Mingbang is sitting at this moment, and the only one is still empty.
Under them, the princes of the rest of the countries have already sat down in order of status.
Except for the table closest to the door, which was empty, there were no more seats in the rest of the seats.
Yan Song had already walked to the main seat, stood slightly, turned around, cleared his throat a little before he spoke: "You distinguished guests have worked tirelessly, come from afar, Yan Song is very honored, lest the hospitality is not good, please also invite all distinguished guests Haihan." β
After saying that, he bent down slightly and bowed, and the others in the hall immediately hugged their hands in response.
Yan Song was about to return to the main seat and sit down, when the herald guards in the banquet hall hurriedly stood outside the door and announced loudly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived-"
There is no need to declare the title, everyone else in the audience knows in their hearts that this is naturally His Royal Highness Xiao Chenyu, the crown prince of Xiao State.
Everyone put down the things in their hands at this moment, looked out of the door with their eyes open, and Yan Song, who had not yet sat down, also immediately stood up and walked to the main seat to wait.
The sound of armor sounded, and two columns of Praetorian Guards wearing armor and swords outside the door were guarding the door of the banquet hall before Xiao Chenyu.
After the laughter, Xiao Chenyu just walked to the door of the banquet hall.
He was followed by a white-faced palace person, surrounded by maids brought from the palace, there could be more than ten people at a glance, and at this time, except for the white-faced palace person, everyone else was standing outside the door waiting.
He wore an apricot-yellow brocade robe today, with brocade boots embroidered with a four-clawed golden dragon under his feet, a jade crown on his head, a round gem inlaid in the middle of the jade crown, a cloak on the outside of the brocade robe, and two pendants made of jade strung hanging from both sides of his shoulders.
As soon as he stepped into the banquet hall, he immediately took off the cloak on his shoulders and threw it at the palace people behind him, although he had a smile on his face, his eyes did not look at any of the people in this house, but just strode towards Yan Song.
When he walked in front of Yan Song, he spoke: "This palace is late." β
Yan Song didn't dare to say anything, and hurriedly saluted the prince before saying, "It's not too late, it's not too late, this banquet hasn't started yet, and it's just the right time for His Royal Highness the prince to come down." β
Xiao Chenyu raised his head and laughed when he heard this, and then flicked his sleeves and sat back in his position, opposite was the Great Prince Gu of Fengxia Kingdom and the Little Prince of Ming Bangguo, and on the right was the crown prince of Half Moon Kingdom.
Yan Song breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and before he turned around to go back, he made another pager.
"King Xiao Guoming has arrivedβ"
This sound was louder than the previous herald, and the sound permeated the entire banquet hall, and even the maids waiting at the back of the hall could hear it clearly.
This sound was shouted by Feiying mixed with internal force, and it was much louder than those little guards shouted, and the prince of his own family must not lose in momentum.
After everyone heard this page, they all looked at each other, what is this king doing here?
Although the valley lord has not yet said it explicitly, everyone knows that this banquet is just to find a good son-in-law for the phoenix girl in the name of her birthday, so what comes today is either the prince of a country or the most favored prince.
This Ming King, no matter which side he is, is not only not stained, but it is still a little far behind.
There was a moment of silence in the hall.
What's more, he was looking at Xiao Chenyu with his spare eyes, waiting to see how he would react for a while.
Outside the door of the banquet hall at this moment, in addition to the Praetorian guards standing on both sides, there are also the little guards waiting.
There are no more idle people on the red carpet, and because there are lights hanging outside the hall, it doesn't look dark.
Xiao Zhihan wore a dark robe and slowly appeared in everyone's sight, there was only a flying shadow behind him, which became more and more lonely under the reflection of the moonlight, although a face was handsome and incomparable, but there was a cold aura all over his body, and he was walking towards the banquet hall step by step.
When he walked into the hall, everyone shivered for no reason.
It seems that it is not for nothing that Xiao Guo regards him as a plague god.
Yan Song stood still and did not move, everyone knew that the prince had been at odds with King Ming since he was a child, and if he stepped forward at this moment, he would not openly slap the prince's face.
Fortunately, Xiao Zhihan ignored him, and walked straight to the empty seat at the door and sat down.
Everyone consciously withdrew their gaze.
This king is quite interesting.
Yan Song was really relieved at this time, on this happy day, as the valley master of the Medicine King Valley, he naturally didn't want anyone to be embarrassed.
Everyone was seated at this moment, and Yan Song walked to the center of the banquet hall with a glass of wine: "Thank you for coming to our Medicine King Valley today, it really makes our Medicine King Valley shine, your guests' intentions Yan Song understands, but..." β
As soon as these words came out, everyone already knew in their hearts what was the difference between this and a commodity to be sold at a price, this valley owner was clearly selling his daughter.
However, the daughter of this valley lord is the phoenix life predicted by the Heavenly Master of Wunian himself, and this identity bonus is undoubtedly to tell the people of the world that those who win the phoenix girl will win the world.
Even if they are waiting for the price to sell, they are willing to come.
It's just that the people here are more likely to come with the idea of luck, especially the princes of those small countries, where did they get any unparalleled treasures, so in fact, it is just a battle for a strong country.
Yan Song looked at the people who were talking below, and waved his hand to the maid behind him: "Go and invite the young lady." β
The maid behind him got the order and immediately went to summon Yan Rou over.
Today, everyone is running for the phoenix girl, so everyone stares at the door as if they are afraid of missing something.
In just a moment, two maids carrying glass lamps appeared in everyone's sight outside the door.
Although she is a maid, her appearance and figure are not bad, and even the young ladies of some official eunuchs are a few points better.
Behind the two maids, there was a young girl, covered her face with a light veil, and walked slowly.
There was a slight shyness in the eyes exposed outside, and there seemed to be a bloom in the eyes, sparkling and unusual.
She was dressed in a long aqua blue dress, and between her elbows was a soft satin shawl inlaid with silver threads, and she walked in a beautiful dress, and her appearance made all the women around her lose their color.
Occasionally, the wind blew, blowing the light yarn slightly, as if the girl was about to step on the wind in the next second.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and even worse, the hand pouring the wine stopped in the air, and the wine was overflowing from the glass.
When she approached and removed the veil, everyone gasped.
Sure enough, it's a celestial posture.
A long black and shiny hair is draped behind him, under a small nose is a red lip that is not described, and his cheeks are slightly red, like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world.
In a moment, Yan Rou had already walked under the main seat, facing the princes with a slight blessing.
"Yan Rou has seen the crown prince, the princes, and the distinguished guests."
Xiao Chenyu immediately stood up from his seat and walked to Yan Rou and gently helped him.
Yan Rou immediately responded with a soft smile, and there was shyness in her eyes that couldn't be hidden.
"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince."
Today's prince seems to be more handsome than last night, I don't know if the prince has picked up his own handkerchief, thinking of this, Yan Rou's face added a touch of shame.
Yan Rou's position was below the Li family, and after she thanked the prince, she slowly returned to her position, and when she sat down, she swept the prince in the field with her gaze.
The first thing she noticed was Xiao Zhihan sitting at the door.
With such momentum and appearance, could it be that this person is King Ming?
Although his face looks handsome and incomparable, it is better than everyone here, but the aura of his whole body is as cold and silent as rumored, fortunately he is not a favored prince, Yan Rou's eyes unconsciously looked towards Xiao Chenyu.
In this way, it seems that the crown prince is more suitable to be his husband.
Xiao Zhihan didn't notice Yan Rou's gaze, but he didn't want to respond.
He didn't really have much interest in this phoenix girl, and he didn't want to compete with the prince head-on.
It's just that since he knew the secret hidden by the Heart of the Medicine King and the Spirit Lake, Xiao Zhihan knew that he had to come to this banquet.
Otherwise, how could he get the heart of the Medicine King, and how could he absorb the spiritual energy in that spiritual lake.
Thinking of this, a pair of extremely beautiful eyes appeared in Xiao Zhihan's mind.
Beauty seems to be filled with stars, and in this world, I am afraid that no one can match it.
Everything was planned, with one exception, and that was her.
The golden phoenix behind her, the heart of the medicine king, how many secrets are hidden in this woman.
Before leaving, I specially told her not to run around, and I don't know if the woman would be obedient.
Xiao Zhihan felt more and more bored, so he only poured himself a glass of wine and drank it with his head up.
This scene was fully watched by Xiao Chenyu, and the corners of his mouth gradually hooked up a mocking smile.
The woman is fifteen years old and Xu, and Yan Rou is already sixteen.
It stands to reason that such a grand banquet should not be held, but the prophecy of this phoenix's fate came out.
Everyone was a little uncontrollable, including Yan Song.
That's why such a banquet was held for Yan Rou.
It's just that looking at the amazement and thirst in the eyes of everyone in this city today, Yan Song's heart has been expanded and satisfied like never before.
The sound of string music in the side hall was fluttering out again at this moment, and the banquet had already begun.
The scene was staggered for a while, but it was also enjoyable.
Xiao Chenyu glanced at the crowd in the circle, let out a cold snort from his nose with disdain, and then changed his face to the usual smile, gently shook the wine glass in his hand, stood up from his seat, and said: "Everyone who has come from afar to come to my Xiao Kingdom, this palace will take advantage of this treasure land of the Lord of the Yan Valley, and I will give you a glass here." β
