Chapter Forty-Nine: The Banquet Turmoil
Walking to the gate of the Yuan Mansion, Yuan Liwan stopped, looked around, no one was there, and called out the green snake, "Little baby." You have to stay here to watch the dynamics of the Yuan Mansion, after I leave, in order to avoid the possibility of Yuan Zhen moving the embezzled treasures, if there is any change, you must report to me at any time. ”
The green snake left Yuan Liwan's arm and crawled along the grass towards the depths of the Yuan Mansion.
Yuan Liwan, who returned to the Hou Ye's Mansion, can be regarded as regaining her freedom, no one can restrict her whereabouts anymore, and there is nothing that needs her to supervise every inch. So he went to the barracks to find Huo Hengyao and told him about the banquet.
"How can this work? The queen's purpose is obviously to embarrass you at the banquet. Can't go, I won't allow you to be wronged like this, I'll go to the emperor to explain it personally. After Huo Hengyao heard this, he was furious, no matter how much Ren Yuanliwan dissuaded him, he couldn't pull him, Huo Hengyao finally went to see the emperor.
It happened that the emperor and the minister were discussing state affairs, and Huo Hengyao waited outside the door for a long time, and the eunuch passed on the emperor, and the emperor let Huo Hengyao meet him.
"Your Majesty, at tomorrow's dinner, the insider Yuan Liwan is unwell, and I am afraid that she will not be able to attend the queen's invitation as scheduled. Please allow the emperor to play. Huo Hengyao saw the emperor and went straight to the point.
"Huo Aiqing, please start first, and talk about something slowly." When Huo Hengyao heard the emperor say this, he finally got up and replied.
"Huo Aiqing, I know that your husband and wife have a good relationship. But this, I have left the matter of the banquet for the crown prince to be handled by the queen, and now if I play it directly, I can't even decide what I say. And what will he think of me, the ministers of the Japanese court, and the monarchs of other countries? "The emperor knew what Huo Hengyao meant, and it had nothing to do with Yuan Liwan's body, he just didn't want her to attend such a passive banquet.
"Your Majesty, I know that as a courtier, I should not and have no right to say such things. However, I still want to ask the emperor, if the next time there is a war that affects the survival of the country and is very dangerous, and the minister refuses to go to war, how will the emperor feel? Huo Hengyao has always been very calm and calm, but now that he encounters such a thing, he really can't calm down.
It was impossible for him to let Yuan Liwan suffer a little grievance, he had decided since he first met her. That's why he's so anxious now.
"Huo Aiqing, I know that you are just talking for a while, you are such a person who cares about the world and puts the country and the people first, even if you are the only one left in the whole camp, you will definitely fight to the end." The reason why the emperor could not anger Shengyan after hearing Huo Hengyao say this was because the emperor knew what he was like.
There is also the fact that Huo Hengyao is now the number one important minister in the DPRK and holds all military power. It is true that the DPRK and China cannot find a second talent with such strength, so the emperor loves it very much.
"I know what you're worried about, and I promise you that I will never let Yuan Liwan suffer any grievances at the banquet, and I will let her participate as my goddaughter at this banquet, and I will ensure that no one can embarrass her. I'll make an order now, you should be relieved, right? ”
"Thank you, Lord Long." Huo Hengyao is also very knowledgeable, since the emperor has promised not to let Yuan Liwan be wronged, then he has nothing to worry about. What's more, even if he is now the king of the county, disobedience to the emperor like this can only happen this time, and I am afraid that my life will be in danger next time.
When the queen heard the news, she was very dissatisfied with the title given to Yuan Liwan by the emperor, but she dared not speak out angrily, and she couldn't say no. As long as Yuan Liwan can come to the banquet, it is enough, no matter what status. Because her purpose is to make her die for Lin Munian, that's all.
Huo Hengyao returned to the barracks, and Yuan Liwan hurriedly stepped forward. Asking about the situation. Huo Hengyao told Yuan Liwan all the ins and outs of the conversation between entering the palace and the emperor today.
"Okay, don't worry about me, I'm really fine." Yuan Liwan was very happy when she heard this, Huo Hengyao actually had such a conflict for herself and the emperor, wrapped her hands around Huo Hengyao's waist, and continued. "The emperor has promised you that he will protect me thoroughly, and I will be careful in everything."
"But you still have to promise me one more thing, I have to decide what to wear to the banquet." Huo Hengyao looked at Yuan Liwan, like a child, and said angrily.
"Okay, well, I'll listen to you." Yuan Liwan looked at Huo Hengyao's jealous appearance and couldn't help laughing. In order to reassure him, Yuan Liwan quickly agreed.
In the next second, she regretted it, she shouldn't have agreed so readily when she didn't see the clothes Huo Hengyao chose.
"It's... Do you really want to wear this to a banquet? Yuan Liwan looked at the clothes in Huo Hengyao's hand, and asked in disbelief with an incredible expression.
"Yes, this is it, I chose it for a long time before I decided." Huo Hengyao said firmly. Of course, it is impossible to let Yuan Liwan wear a glamorous dress to attend a banquet, so this plain dress that can no longer be plain is definitely the most suitable choice.
Huo Hengyao also ignored Yuan Liwan's questioning gaze. It was to order her this old and simple dress.
Yuan Liwan was a little angry on the surface, but she was actually very happy in her heart, there was someone who could care about her so much, and this person was her husband, and she was also very satisfied.
On the day of the dinner, Yuan Liwan attended in the plain clothes selected for her by Huo Hengyao, but she unexpectedly received a rare appreciation from the queen, thinking that she could recognize her identity and be decent if she didn't fight or grab it.
In addition to Yuan Liwan, the other famous ladies who were invited to the banquet were all dressed in gorgeous costumes and shined, and they couldn't wait to be noticed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Emperor and Queen at a glance by virtue of their clothing advantages. Of course, it also includes Yuan Fangfei and Huo Xi'er.
Yuan Fangfei is also dressed up beautifully, but when she saw Yuan Liwan, who also appeared at the banquet, she still couldn't control her jealousy of Yuan Liwan, and she couldn't hide her femme fatale. So I wanted to make fun of Yuan Liwan again.
The banquet began, and everyone was seated. The performance of singing and dancing also began. After a period of singing and dancing, Yuan Fangfei couldn't control her desire to stir up trouble and humiliate the heroine.
"The performance is really exciting, I still remember the last time I came with my father to attend the celebration banquet held by the emperor, the song played by Sister Liwan, it was really three days around, and people want to listen to it again." After the song and dance, Yuan Fangfei spoke first. "I wonder if I'll be honored to hear it again today?"
How could Yuan Liwan not know Yuan Fangfei's careful thoughts, the people who came to the banquet were all unmarried young women, and Yuan Fangfei just wanted to let herself play a song for everyone to cheer them up.
Am I like I'm here to put on a show? Yuan Liwan thought silently in her heart, very angry. On the surface, it is quietly counterattacking.
"Sister Fangfei is overrated, it's just some small talents that can't be on the stage, it's not worth mentioning."
