Chapter 182: The Banquet of the New Emperor's Enthronement
In the palace, a banquet is being held after the new emperor ascends the throne, and all the important ministers and nobles must bring their families with them.
Yu Mingche and Mu Xiyun are naturally needless to say, now Yu Mingche is the regent, and his status is second only to His Majesty, and Mu Xiyun is the regent princess, and when there is no one in the new queen's palace, except for the concubine, her status is the highest.
Cheng Hao and Princess Shulan, as well as the envoys of other small countries, are also the protagonists of the banquet, but the new emperor's harem is still empty.
His Majesty the newly enthroned emperor doesn't even have a harem, even if he was in the prince's period, there was no palace person to serve, which can't blame him, first, Yu Chengyun has always been a bad woman, and second, he originally had to wait for his marriage before he began to adopt harem candidates, but now because the emperor died suddenly, everything was delayed.
Su Lan is happy, there will be no special threat before she gets married, but when other nobles and small countries see such an empty harem, they have to think about marrying their daughter to the new emperor's majesty, as long as there is a place in the new emperor's harem, then the whole country or family will have great protection.
Therefore, today's banquet is better than a blind date banquet for the new emperor, and many unmarried women are all dressed up to attend, hoping to win the blue eyes of the new emperor and make steady progress.
It's not that Princess Shulan doesn't care about these warblers and Yanyan, but at least she knows in her heart that the queen's position was personally agreed by His Majesty, and she will be the master of that position sooner or later, even if these women dress up and scratch their heads, they will only be kneeling in front of her in the future.
Thinking of this, she happily looked at Yu Chengyun, who was sitting on the throne with a smile and a lot of nobles, and her face flew red again.
"Your Majesty, after the first emperor's filial piety, we will hold a big wedding ceremony for you and Princess Shulan, and the minister is really happy in his heart." Yu Mingche raised a glass of wine and said to Yu Chengyun.
"That's true, Princess Shulan is gentle and virtuous, generous and decent, and she is the best candidate for my country's mother's ceremony, and these things will bother the Fourth Emperor Uncle in the future." Yu Chengyun glanced at the shy Princess Shulan over there, and then turned to Yu Mingche and said.
"The minister should go all out to prepare for the wedding ceremony for His Majesty." Yu Mingche said with a laugh.
Mu Xiyun was completely absent-minded, she looked at Princess Shulan all the time looking at Yu Chengyun, and there was always an unspeakable discomfort in her heart, she actually didn't know what it was like to like someone who didn't like her, because she and Yu Mingche were in love, but she always felt that Princess Shulan had a taste of conspiracy lingering on her body.
The royal family is so ruthless, the emperor of Tianyuan Kingdom said that he loved his daughter deeply, but in the face of power, he still had to sacrifice his daughter's affection.
"After Shulan marries into the imperial city in the future, there are many things to ask Princess Yan for advice, please give me more advice." Su Lan was innocent in nature, and he didn't think about it so much, but he just walked over and saluted Mu Xiyun and said respectfully.
When she said this, Mu Xiyun was a little cramped, and she quickly stood up, and also saluted her and said:
"Princess Shulan is modest, you are the princess of Tianyuan Kingdom, Your Majesty said that you are generous and decent, how can I teach you, but if you are not familiar with it, you can find me, I am willing to help."
Yu Chengyun didn't say anything, just looked at this side with a smile, although everyone thought he was looking at Princess Shulan, in fact, Yu Mingche had already seen through it, since the moment Mu Xiyun walked into the main hall, his eyes had never left Mu Xiyun.
The kind of affection he looks at Mu Xiyun is not the kind of respect he looks at Princess Shulan, there is a lot of resentment in the affection, and there is tenderness mixed in the resentment, anyway, it is an indescribable sorrow.
Mu Jianzhong was quite willing to win Yu Chengyun because of what happened last time, and it was indispensable to increase the official and enter the knighthood, and now he has been promoted to Anping Houye, in charge of the ministry.
Everyone thinks that Mu Jianzhong has found a good son-in-law, and now Yu Ming Chegui is the regent, and Mu Xiyun is the regent princess, and she has won the trust of His Majesty, naturally they Zhenguo Gong will become His Majesty's right and left hand, and even Mu Junjia has been promoted to Shang Shulang of the Ministry of War, and for a while, the once lonely Zhenguo Mansion became famous, and more and more people came to give gifts at the door, which made Mu Jianzhong's wife Kou Huilan have a lot of joy on her face.
"Hey, Mrs. Mu, no, now I'm going to call Mrs. Anpinghou, the lord and young master of your family are now celebrities in front of Your Majesty, and it looks like even Mrs. is in high spirits." Several women sitting next to Kou Huilan said complimentally.
"That's not it, the girl of the key lady is really successful, this time she is the princess regent, she is already one of the best nobles in the royal family, this town and country mansion is now full of glory." The other one also hurriedly said with a smile.
"Where is it as good as you say, Yun'er and the prince are naturally respectful of each other, the prince is now His Majesty's right and left hands, all of them are killed by his own bloody battles, our Yun'er is to serve the prince well, the relationship between these two people, it really makes me and his father envious." Kou Huilan's eyes narrowed into a slit and said with a smile.
"Oh, speaking of the relationship between King Yan and the princess, it is really an enviable beauty in the imperial city, this prince Yushu is in the wind, the princess is beautiful and refined, but the prince is only affectionate to the princess, and the women next to him don't even look at it." Speaking of this relationship between Yu Mingche and Mu Xiyun, which woman in the imperial city is not envious?
Kou Huilan glanced at Yu Mingche and Mu Xiyun's side, and she didn't expect that her once weak little daughter had now become the regent, fortunately they didn't move around often, otherwise the past things she had abused her would not be taken out by Mu Xiyun to clean her up now, every time she thought of this, she was terrified.
"By the way, in a few days, our house will hold the Hou Ye's birthday, you all come, you must come over and chat." It's one thing to think about it, it's another thing to say it, Kou Huilan still said with a smile to the ladies who complimented her.
As soon as she invited like this, naturally the women next to her hurriedly agreed, the current Mu Jianzhong is not what it used to be, and there are still many people who want to stammer, not to mention Kou Huilan's personal invitation.
Kou Huilan was thinking about Mu Xiyun just now, Mu Xiyun had already walked in front of her, she quickly stood up and saluted her and said:
"Princess."
Mu Xiyun stroked her hair and said with a little disdain:
"Mother, it will be my father's birthday in a few days, the prince told me that this time I must tell my mother to do it ceremoniously, and the money and the like will all come out of the Yan Wangfu, and you can arrange someone to pick it up when the time comes." After speaking, Mu Xiyun laughed contemptuously and left.
Kou Huilan's heart was really unhappy, this Mu Xiyun came to such a play in public, she did a comprehensive job, which made Kou Huilan vomit in her heart, and she couldn't go up or down.
