XVIII. Go to the feast

Because she was going to attend the palace banquet and had breakfast, Lin Wanyan didn't go out, sat on the soft couch in the room and continued to read the book she hadn't finished reading in Suxinlou the day before.

Zhen Yeol was still busy checking the gifts that had entered the palace, for fear that something would go wrong. Seeing that Lin Wanyan didn't care about it, he was quite puzzled, didn't this sister worry at all, it was in vain that he told her so many things about the harem of the Great God Yue the night before.

"Sister, you can get dressed up early. Zhen Lie looked at Lin Wanyan in civilian clothes on weekdays, and his face was not powdered, and he was a little anxious.

"I'm done with the last few pages, brother. Lin Wanyan didn't leave the book without leaving his eyes, and replied unhurriedly.

"I told you yesterday, can you remember it?" Zhenlie didn't think that his sister liked to read so much before, but he was nurtured by the people of Dashenyue after not seeing him for a few days?

"Huh, what?" Lin Wanyan flipped a page of the book and came back to his senses. "Oh, remember. ”

"My sister really remembers, I heard that this palace banquet, the concubines, princes, princes, county kings and civil and military courtiers of the great god Yue were all invited to the banquet, but I can't be lazy. "After all, Zhenlie is the eldest prince, and he is also very clear about the specifications of the palace banquet, and the more the great god holds such a grand banquet, it is naturally to show his attention to the Tanglin Kingdom and this peace, and also to explore the bottom of this Tanglin princess.

Hey, there is really nothing wrong with a woman when a man thinks about it, Lin Wanyan muttered in his heart, why don't you go to the palace for a meal, what a big deal, but she doesn't dare to make a mistake in her mouth. "My good brother, I'm going to put on beautiful makeup and change into beautiful clothes now! You're tired after working for so long, sit down and rest!"

Lin Wanyan closed the book and put it aside as she spoke, then walked over and pulled Zhen Lie to sit down on the soft couch. Zhen Lie couldn't sit still, waved his hand and went out.

In fact, Lin Wanyan is not as big as Zhenlie thought, she can be so calm because she has already chosen the clothes to wear for the palace banquet yesterday. This is all brought from Tanglin, the formal palace banquet clothes, from dresses to headdress jewelry, there are a total of five sets, all of which are matched, she chose the simplest set, and she just needs to wear it today, it is not as complicated as Zhenlie thought. She is very relieved that she was also like this in her previous life, and she worked hard hard in front of people and was effortless.

With a few maids who were close to him changing and dressing up, Lin Wanyan went through the lot of information that Zhen Lie told him last night in his mind.

Xiao Yu, the Great Shenyue Emperor, was the sixth prince of the previous emperor. The first emperor also has two princes, respectively, the eldest prince Xiao Yan, named Prince Gong, guarding the northwest border bordering with Xuanmu country, not in Nanli City all the year round, this palace banquet only the prince Xiao Linkun to participate in the banquet;

Xiao Yu has nine children, the eldest prince Xiao Yucheng, twenty-one, born to the queen, already has a wife and two side rooms; the second princess Xiao Pingqing, born to Concubine Qin, twenty, the wife of Zhao Donglin, Marquis of Pingyang; the third prince Xiao Yuwen, born to Concubine Jing, eighteen years old, has never been married, has been weak since childhood, and recuperates outside the palace; the fourth prince Xiao Yuyan, born to Concubine Rou, eighteen years old, has a side room; the fifth princess Xiao Shuyi, born to Concubine Qin, seventeen years old, married to the eldest son of the imperial doctor; the sixth princess Xiao Manxue, born to Concubine Rou, sixteen years old, unmarried; Xiao Yushuo, the seventh prince, born to Concubine Duan, sixteen years old, unmarried; Xiao Yusheng, the eighth prince, born to Concubine Guan, fourteen years oldThe ninth princess, Xiao Minzhi, was born to the queen and was twelve years old.

After recalling, Lin Wanyan began to entangle yesterday's conjecture again, is there really a person with the same name and surname as the prince, or is he the third prince? Helplessly, Zhenlie only provided one more information about the three princes than others: he has been weak since he was a child, and he is recuperating outside the palace. She didn't ask much, so she couldn't do a comparative analysis.

Come to think of it, what I am most looking forward to at tonight's palace banquet is to meet the three princes. If it's really him, it doesn't seem to be so difficult to accept.

The palace banquet began, and after noon, Lin Wanyan walked out of the door and walked towards the main hall slowly. Zhen Lie had been waiting there for a long time, looking at Lin Wanyan, who was late, he was a little angry. "Sister, we'll be rude if we're late!"

"Brother, do you think I look good-looking?" Lin Wanyan turned around in front of Zhen Lie with a smile on her face, and asked coquettishly.

Zhen Lie's face softened a lot, and he looked at Lin Wanyan seriously, "My sister is as beautiful as a fairy today!"

Lin Wanyan was very satisfied when she heard it, and the small dimples on her cheeks appeared shallowly, adding a little playfulness. She took Jeongyeol's arm and walked towards the door, where the luxurious carriage had been waiting for a long time. Zhen Lie helped Lin Wanyan into the carriage, and then he got into the carriage elegantly.

In this palace banquet, Lin Wanyan only brought Lu Ying alone, and the plainclothes guards did not follow this time. Lin Wanyan naturally knew what the reason was, because it took a long time for the green warbler to walk with her this time, and she painted her originally delicate and agile face with a mediocre appearance. They all came out of the palace, and if they followed Lin Wanyan into the palace and were recognized, it would be troublesome.

Thinking of this, Lin Wanyan was more certain: he was the third prince. After thinking about it, it's not right, doesn't it mean that the third prince has been weak since he was a child and is recuperating outside the palace, isn't this contradictory to the Ouchi guards and palace maids who were sent? No, he also has a very good personal relationship with the chief of the Ouchi guards. But after being away from the palace for a long time, how did the friendship between the two come about?

"Brother is nervous?" Lin Wanyan looked at Zhen Lie, who was sitting opposite him, and sat up straight with his waist straight, his face was very serious.

"Isn't my sister nervous? I'm afraid that I will lose my courtesy and lose my father's face. I also have to think about what questions Emperor Dashenyue will ask, how to respond, what unexpected situations may occur, and how to deal with them. "Although Zhenlie is not very intelligent, he knows his own shortcomings and is also very practical and diligent.

"My brother is always so steady in his work, no wonder my father is heavy. Lin Wanyan sincerely admired.

Zhenyeol, a big man, was a little shy when he heard his sister praise him like this. "I'm not as smart as my sister, and my father loves my sister the most. ”

"Of course, my father wants to love me more, if he doesn't love me, he won't be able to hurt me when I get married. My brother is a man, and my father's strict teachings naturally want my brother to take up the imperial business of our Donglin for thousands of generations. Brother, don't eat my jealousy. Lin Wanyan said with a smile, Emperor Shunxi was very strict with several princes, and gave her all his favor.

"Sister, my brother is really reluctant! You pick carefully, and agree to your own heart, if you don't like it, I will go back and help my sister to ask my father and the emperor to allow another person to come and kiss. As soon as he heard Lin Wanyan say that he was married, Zhen Lie's brows furrowed, this is his favorite sister since childhood, how can he be willing to let her be married? Moreover, if it weren't for his sister's insistence on marrying, his father would also find the daughter of the clan again, seal the county lord, and send her to him.

"Brother, don't worry, I won't wronged myself! If the prince of Dashenyue doesn't have his brother's heroic appearance, I definitely won't be willing!" Lin Wanyan said jokingly.

Zhen Lie smiled shyly, his appearance was naturally not bad, but he was very comfortable to be so praised by this recognized most beautiful woman in Tanglin.

Lin Wanyan's heart was very warm when she heard Zhenlie's words, she knew that her brother was really reluctant, her father and mother were too, and the original Princess Wanyan was also filial and sensible, and she was willing to sacrifice her happiness in exchange for the stability of her country.

But she doesn't think so, there are so many princesses who are close to each other in the past, and few of them have happy endings, but they are just chess pieces. Hengzhu doesn't think about how to make the country prosperous, and blindly hopes to protect his country through methods like harmony, which is just hiding his ears and stealing bells and begging for a living under other people's roofs.

But when you come to the great god, you have survived after nine deaths, so you will go to meet those princes, anyway, just take a look, she doesn't have to marry them. Therefore, for this palace banquet, Lin Wanyan was not as nervous as Zhenlie, although Tanglin was not as powerful as the great god, but she didn't want to be too humble, as if she was a weak person who had no right to speak, she didn't like this feeling.

It was her deliberate to delay the time to go out, and she also specially asked the green warbler, the palace banquet of the great god Yue, when those people were seated, and then told the green warbler to take care of the time later, and they would arrive a few minutes later than the emperor.

How can the way of hospitality is that the guests are waiting for the host, so they must not greet them at the door in person? The head of state of the other country has visited abroad and entered other people's airspace, and there are fighter planes escorting him, and after getting off the plane, he has already greeted him there? When he arrived at the destination, there was also a guard of honor, a salute, a national anthem, and a series of ceremonies.

The carriage sent by the palace to pick up Zhenlie and Lin Wanyan set off half an hour later than they expected, and the people who came were worried that they would be punished for making a mistake, so they naturally sent someone to send the news back to the palace with added fuel and vinegar.

Emperor Xiao Yu listened to the announcement, but he was not angry, but a smile appeared on his face, and let his most trusted eunuch Wang Gonggong personally go to the banquet to check it out, and he couldn't snub them. The banquet in the palace has always been the queen's responsibility, since Yang Chengyue said that the people who wanted to murder Princess Tanglin included the queen and the eldest prince, where could Xiao Yu not understand their thoughts.

Princess Tanglin must be the crown princess, but it was just a joke he said casually in private, and he wanted to see who couldn't bear it. But the queen's courage was so big, it was still beyond Xiao Yu's expectations. It's not that she can't sit still, the eldest prince is her own son, in the early years, in order to envelop the forces of the DPRK and China, she already had a main room and a child, which has nothing to do with him. The dignified princess of the Tanglin Kingdom, can she still be a concubine?

Although the other princes didn't take any action for the time being, they couldn't explain anything, they just waited to see Xiao Yu's attitude. If Xiao Yu doesn't care about it, then this Tanglin princess will have no use value, so it is better to keep the location of the main room. On the contrary, even if you do whatever it takes, you have to grab it.
