Ten days later.

Han Liang and the envoys of the north wing entered the palace together.

The envoys on both sides were very polite, and there didn't seem to be much intimacy, but these were only superficial, and in reality, no one knew exactly what the relationship was.

Long Yuechen arranged them in two palaces.

I don't know if it was deliberate or coincidental, but the palaces of the envoys of the two countries happened to be next to each other.

During the day, Long Yuechen met with the envoys of the two countries separately.

And in the evening, it is naturally what everyone is looking forward to the most - the dinner.

It is said to be a dinner party, but in fact it is just a banquet with each mind.

Of course, there are also marriages, which are also blind dates in disguise.

In the countries visited, there were also many handsome young people, Miss Princess.

It is a banquet between countries that increases the degree of friendliness.

To put it bluntly, the marriage also determines the pattern in the future.

An invisible alliance will be formed between friendly countries, and the country that is isolated will become the target of the joint attack of other countries.

The dinner is also a place to showcase the financial resources and talents of each country.

Tonight's dinner was a big one.

The young talents of the Tanglin Kingdom, Miss Princess, as long as they can participate, almost all come.

And the people of Han Liang and the North Wing are also very spectacular, although there are open and secret battles between countries, but the surface work is enough, and there are many princesses and princes.

Inside the Golden Luang Palace.

At this time, Xia Qiqi was surrounded by seven or eight palace maids, dressing up.

He was dressed in aqua blue.

Because she is only a concubine, her rank is not as high as that of the queen, and on such a solemn occasion, she is naturally not allowed to wear red.

However, letting her attend this kind of banquet is enough to show Long Yuechen's love for her.

In the past, similar banquets would be held every year, but Long Yuechen at that time did not favor anyone.

In the entire harem, the only people who can participate are the queen and a few tough concubines in the background, those are all superficial efforts, in order to consolidate the needs of the country, Long Yuechen let them attend.

And now, Long Yuechen is willing to let Xia Qiqi attend.

Xia Qiqi's identity, the people of Jialing, from eighty-year-old people to three-year-old children, no one does not know that Xia Qiqi is the daughter of the former prime minister.

In other words, no one doesn't know that Xia Qiqi is the daughter of a rebel.

However, it is such a sensitive identity, but Long Yuechen asked Xia Qiqi to attend this banquet in front of everyone in the world.

This is undoubtedly announcing the status of Xia Qiqi in the eyes of their emperors.

At the same time, this also means that Xia Qiqi's future life will be in dire straits.

She has no power, and she has no power.

But those women in Long Yuechen's harem are not fuel-efficient lamps.

This is the danger behind the glory.

But Xia Qiqi is now standing in such a conspicuous position, and he is favored by Long Yuechen, which is also enviable, jealous and hateful.

Those women in the harem, in addition to figuring out how to get rid of Xia Qiqi, there are also many people in the harem with low status, who began to think about whether to talk to Xia Qiqi.

However, these are not what Xia Qiqi cares about now.

She doesn't know how envious and jealous the women in the harem and even the whole world are, she only knows that she is very annoying now, really annoying!

It's summer.

It's so hot, and it's not like in a previous life.

High-tech development, air conditioning in summer, no need to worry about heat.

The technology here is backward, and some are just hand-cranked fans, and their hands are about to be broken, and they are still so hot.

I don't know what kind of crazy people are here, on such a hot day, not to mention that you are not allowed to show your arms and legs, and you have to wear a few layers on your body.

It's obviously hot to death, and she still has to wear so much, but then again, this is the first summer she has had without air conditioning in recent years.

As the saying goes, "It is as simple as being rich and rich, and it is difficult to become poor from being rich", and her current situation is similar.

But now there are so many people around him, it is even hotter, and several layers of clothes on his body are also soaked with sweat.

Before, it was okay, no one cared about her, and the clothes she wore were only two layers, but now, because Long Yuechen said that she had to attend that damn banquet, she must now have seven or eight layers wrapped around her.

She's going to die of heat.

"Yangchun, fan you"

Xia Qiqi couldn't help but complain.

"Fan, fan, mother"

Yang Chun fanned the fan in his hand vigorously.

His forehead was also covered with a lot of sweat.

Even as a local who has spent more than a dozen summers, she can't adapt to this hot weather at all.

"Try it harder, it's so hot!"

Xia Qiqi really couldn't stand it, if Long Yuechen was standing in front of her at this moment, she would definitely punch him without hesitation, the weather was so hot, and he still asked her to participate in a banquet, it was really a bad beating.

In her previous life, she was not a person who liked to be lively, and she would find various reasons not to participate in any banquet she usually organized, but when she came here, Long Yuechen was the boss.

is still a black-bellied boss, what idea she has in her heart, he can completely see that she can't find a reason even if she wants to.

"Yes, the slave is fanning hard!"

If it were normal times, when she heard Xia Qiqi's words, she would definitely throw off her sleeves and leave, but today is the same.

Today is the first time that their mothers have participated in a banquet since they entered the palace, and it is still this kind of banquet that ordinary concubines cannot attend, which is enough to prove the weight of their mothers in the emperor's heart.

As their mother's slave, she is naturally happy that their mother can be favored.

……

Because it was summer, it was hotter indoors than outdoors at night, so Long Yuechen's banquet was arranged outdoors, near Huatang.

The night breeze cooled the air a lot.

Although the dinner party has not officially begun, many people have already held the banquet in the place, and of course, most of them are boys and girls.

Compared with the north wing, the folk customs of Tanglin are much more conservative.

Although there is no such serious thing as an unmarried girl who can't leave the boudoir, if she goes out of the boudoir every day, she will still be said by others.

And there is no valid reason for unmarried girls to meet adult men who are about their own age, and they will be gossiped about.

As a result, there are fewer opportunities for people to get to know each other.

Now that they finally have a good opportunity, they will naturally come early, in order to take advantage of this opportunity to find their sweetheart.

When it was just dark, the banquet officially began.

However, at this time, Han Liang and the people in the north wing had not yet arrived, but Long Yuechen was already sitting on the main seat, and the one next to him was naturally the queen of Tanglin.

And the person in the first position on his lower right is an older concubine - Jing Guifei.

However, the first position on his lower left was not sitting at this time, but in the second position, the only concubine in Tanglin had already been seated, Concubine Min.

At this time, Concubine Min's eyes were staring fiercely at the first position on the lower left of Long Yuechen beside her.

She is a noble concubine, and her status in the harem is second only to Concubine Jing and the queen.

According to her seniority, she was supposed to be in the first position on the lower left of the emperor, but tonight she came over happily and wanted to sit on it self-righteously, but the Jing guards came to stop her.

Although Guard Jing is just a guard, she is a very important person in the emperor, she can't be easily offended, so she didn't attack on the spot.

just turned his gaze to the emperor in the high position, thinking that the emperor would let her sit on it, but he didn't expect the emperor to just glance at her.

The meaning is very straightforward, it is to let her do it in the second position.

She has been sitting in the first position for so many years, and there is no convincing reason for her, how can she really be willing to sit in the second position.

She wants to see which slut dares to steal her place tonight!

……

After Xia Qiqi cleaned up, he followed Yangchun and them to the place where the dinner party was held.

Although she complained in her heart, she had lived for so many years, and she also knew how important this dinner party was to Long Yuechen, so when she went, she also did enough of the etiquette that she should do as the emperor's concubine.

She Xia Qiqi, although she usually has no rules, but in her previous life, she was also a thief, and when she was in this industry, she learned everything, and her imitation ability was naturally not too bad, and she also learned a lot of etiquette.

I definitely won't embarrass Long Yuechen.

When Xia Qiqi hadn't arrived yet, everyone was chatting lively, and the queen and a few concubines would also talk to Long Yuechen from time to time, but Long Yuechen only occasionally replied with a few words, his eyes kept looking at the first vacant seat in the lower left of him, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

This scene naturally attracted the resentment of the other concubines.

Xia Qiqi probably didn't know that Long Yuechen had pulled a lot of hatred points for her when she was away.

When Xia Qiqi arrived, the people from the other two countries had not yet arrived.

Because everyone's seat is seated according to everyone's identity, Xia Qiqi is also very clear about this, so when he arrived, he consciously walked to the table where the concubines were sitting.

However, the people at which table were already full, and when everyone saw her coming, their faces were not very friendly, and she couldn't attack on the spot, so she could only look at Long Yuechen on the high position dissatisfied.

At this time, Long Yuechen also happened to look at her.

It should be said that from the moment she appeared, his eyes never took his eyes off her.

After the two have been getting along for the past few days, they have already tacitly agreed that on the surface, the two did not directly express it, but in their hearts, they already knew the status of the other party in their hearts.

So Long Yuechen also looked at Xia Qiqi unabashedly.

Looking at Xia Qiqi's puffed face, he didn't have to think about it, he also knew what she was thinking in her head now.

Although I still wanted to see her expression a few more times, I still waved my hand, called Jing Yi on the side, and said a few words in Jing Yi's ear.

I saw Jing Yi nodded, and then walked towards Xia Qiqi's side.

"Concubine Niangniang, your position is here."

Jing Yi stretched out his finger, and the entire crowd of people attending the banquet, except for Long Yuechen and Wei Heng, who had been expected for a long time, everyone else was in an uproar.

Especially Concubine Min, the white handkerchief in her hand at this time has been stirred up by her.

Because the position that Jing Yi is pointing to is exactly next to her, that is, the first position on the lower left of Long Yuechen!
