Chapter 144: The Banquet
After Luo Yi made a request, Chu Yun agreed without hesitation.
First, this is indeed his position, and second, meeting the so-called prince of Jiang Tai is also Chu Yun's own thoughts.
Luo Yi continued: "I still have a lot of trust in your strength, tonight you bring three hundred elite of the Imperial Forest Army to be on duty outside the banquet palace, there is no problem, right?"
"No problem. Chu Yun said very casually, he didn't think there was anything difficult about this little thing.
............
From Luo Yi's mouth, Chu Yun probably knew the news about the prince.
The prince sent by Jiang Tai this time is the crown prince of Jiang Tai.
According to the agreement between the two countries at that time, Princess Mingyue should marry the prince and become the queen in the future.
It's just that the prince who came over this time is actually not the concubine of Emperor Jiang Tai.
It stands to reason that this prince is not very worthy of being the crown prince.
But the truth turned out, so the emperor of the East speculated that the other prince, who was only temporarily married.
After three or two years, the crown prince will inevitably change hands.
In this way, the Eastern Emperor was even more dissatisfied with Jiang Tai.
Therefore, when this "temporary prince" came to the national capital, the Eastern Emperor did not personally greet him.
Although, the crown prince of the neighboring country has the capital to let the emperor of the East appear.
But the Eastern Emperor only sent an envoy to receive him.
He did this, and there was some deliberate element in it. After all, if he behaves too enthusiastically, the other party may kick his nose in the face?
Of course, it is impossible for the Eastern Emperor to really leave the other party alone. After all, Jiang Tai really sent the crown prince over, and on the surface, he gave Feng Yunguo enough respect.
Therefore, the banquet for the prince to receive the wind and wash the dust that night still has to be held.
The banquet will be held in the Welcome Hall, and what Chu Yun has to do is to take the three hundred Royal Forest Army to maintain stability around the Welcome Hall.
It is said to maintain stability, but there are basically no emergencies in this palace, so there is no need to do anything.
............
It is said that that night, Chu Yun took his subordinates to the outside of the palace to line up and guard the palace.
On both sides of the entrance of the palace, there were two columns of Imperial Forest Army guards, and Chu Yun himself stood in one of them.
Today, people come and go in this palace, presumably Prince Naguang, Wei Ye, and the prince of Jiang Thailand will come and go here.
For these people, Chu Yun is still a little interested.
Chu Yun happened to be not far from the entrance of the palace, and with a slight glance, he could see the situation in the palace clearly.
At this time, many ministers and members of the royal family had gathered in the palace.
Among them, Wei Yezheng sat with several officials, chatting, and smiling from time to time, as if they had a good relationship.
The seats of these ministers were on both sides of the palace, and a dragon chair in the middle was the seat of the emperor of the East.
In the position of the Emperor of the East, not everyone can sit down.
66 And the sons of the Emperor of the East also came to the palace.
The Eastern Emperor has a total of three sons, and the position of the crown prince has not yet been determined, so all three can only be regarded as princes. is not like the one sent by Jiang Tai today, who has directly hung up the name of the prince.
Jiang Tai is now controlled by the royal clan, and the prince's real name is called Zongyu.
After many dignitaries and nobles in the palace sat down, it didn't take long for the Eastern Emperor to walk around surrounded by a group of palace maid guards.
Immediately behind the Emperor of the East was a dignified-looking young man. Although this man has the temperament of a royal nobleman, he is also quite under pressure to follow the Eastern Emperor.
Even though he has the name of a crown prince on his head, he can't bear the royal aura of the Eastern Emperor.
This young man is none other than Prince Zongyu.
After the Dongfang Emperor and Prince Zongyu entered the welcome hall, the civil and military officials who had been waiting for a long time inside all got up and knelt on the ground in unison, shouting Long live Your Majesty.
The Eastern Emperor showed a warm smile: "Today's banquet is to wash the dust for Prince Zongyu, and it is also to celebrate the marriage of the two countries. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty. The two columns of civil and military officials returned to their seats respectfully.
"Prince Zongyu, please. "The Eastern Emperor deliberately made a very polite appearance.
Zong Yu hurriedly bowed humbly and said, "How dare you not distinguish between primary and secondary ......"
Before he finished speaking, the Eastern Emperor had already sat on the dragon chair in the center. The previous please, as if it was said casually.
Zong Yu was dissatisfied and felt that he was being despised.
Then, the palace maids began to bring all kinds of fruit snacks and put them in front of everyone.
The three princes have been called to the side by the Emperor of the East, and they simply introduced Zong Yu and said: "These three are my three sons......"
"The eldest prince, the second prince, and the third prince, all of them are dragons among people, and they are really the blessings of Fengyun Kingdom. Zong Yu said with a smile.
The Eastern Emperor then symbolically introduced a few princes, and then said to everyone in the palace: "Today, Prince Zongyu personally came to me to seal the Yun Kingdom, and he is going to tie the knot with Princess Mingyue, which is not only the blessing of the two juniors, but also the blessing of the two countries!"
The ministers nodded their heads in agreement.
"Feng Yunguo and Jiang Tai have frequent conflicts on the border, if they can take this opportunity to marry, alleviate the contradictions between the two sides, and then turn enemies into friends, wouldn't it be a great joy?"
Zong Yu said again and again: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, if the two countries can turn the war into a jade silk from this generation, Your Majesty can leave a strong one in the history books." ”
The Eastern Emperor had a smile on his face, but he was actually sneering in his heart.
This Jiang Thailand is like a jackal, and trying to make a jackal docile is tantamount to a fool's dream.
Next, it was nothing more than a polite celebration with each other's ghosts. There is no need to elaborate on these.
After a few glasses of wine, Zong Yu's wine strength came up a little, and his fear of the Eastern Emperor couldn't help but alleviate a lot.
He had already found that the most important person was missing at the banquet, and only then did he take the initiative to ask: "Your Majesty, I am very happy today, why don't you see Princess Mingyue at this banquet?"
Hearing this, the Eastern Emperor's face couldn't help but twitch.
He naturally knew that no one could come to this banquet, and Princess Mingyue must come.
However, his precious princess didn't come, and this was really not arranged by him.
The Emperor of the East doesn't have to think about it to know that Princess Mingyue is very dissatisfied with the marriage, once she loses her temper, how can she come to this banquet?
Before the banquet began, the Eastern Emperor said that he would move Princess Mingyue. Who would have thought that it had already begun for so long, and Princess Mingyue had not yet come.
"Hmm...... Mingyue's child dressed up, maybe it took a little more time. After all, she is still young, but she is only nineteen years old......" The Eastern Emperor said with a haha, secretly anxious in his heart.
He really didn't doubt that Princess Mingyue would not come, if she didn't come, the faces on both sides would not look good.
Zong Yu didn't think much about it, just smiled: "The princess is a daughter, and it doesn't hurt to be later." ”
The Eastern Emperor glanced outside the palace from time to time, until his eyes were a little sour, and then he saw Princess Mingyue coming on foot......
