While he was speaking, he glanced at a golden-haired, majestic tiger entrenched at the entrance of the temple. Only when he saw Prince Anfeng walked in, the tiger walked ahead and opened the way, his posture was terrible.

Prince Anfeng looked at Emperor Ming Yuan and said, "For a few years, the emperor's nephew also called this king admiringly. Now the Northern Tang Dynasty is prosperous and doing well under your rule!"

Prince Anfeng didn't smile, he spoke with a serious attitude, even if there was a touch of gentleness in his eyes, but in the eyes of Emperor Ming and Yuan, it was still shocking.

After Prince Anfeng finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the Supreme Emperor, his expression softened a little bit, "It can be seen that you have chosen a good heir."

The Supreme Emperor actually laughed, "Yes, Gu is very satisfied."

In a word, Dao exhausted the praise of the Emperor Taishang.

Prince Anfeng looked at Yu Wenhao again and nodded slightly at him.

Yu Wenhao bowed his hand and saluted again.

On the other side, Princess An Feng sat beside Princess An. She and Princess An were originally from the same line, but Princess An had never been with her before, and she seemed very cautious and cramped.

The queen mother looked at the princess Anfeng and sighed, "I want to come, the old man and the princess have not met for more than 20 years. God treats you kindly. You are about the same age as the old man, but look much younger than the old man."

Princess Anfeng smiled, "Nothing to worry about, and a comfortable life, naturally look younger, unlike the queen mother who takes care of everything in the huge harem in the palace."

The queen mother smiled, "Yes, so the old man said that Princess Anfeng is blessed."

The banquet began, and the palace people filed in with exquisite dishes. This exquisite meal looked very beautiful, but due to the cold weather, it had been cold from the imperial dining room to the Guangming Hall, and the entrance was not delicious at all.

Fortunately, there was a soup at the beginning, and the soup was still steaming when it came up. As for other cold dishes, everyone is used to it. After one bite of one dish, people will take it down and serve the second one.

Princess Anfeng was very kind to Princess An. Seeing that she hadn't taken a few sips of soup, she said: "You are weak, drink more soup. The food is cold, so eat two less."

Princess An was immediately flattered and said hurriedly: "Yes!"

"Is your body better?" Princess Anfeng stopped her chopsticks. Seeing her stiff teeth trembled, she reluctantly said, "Is it because I sit next to you and make you nervous? Just treat me as an ordinary elder. ."

"Yes, yes!" Princess An agreed again, but she was even more nervous than just now.

Princess Anfeng said to Rong Yue who was sitting next to Yuan Qingling: "Concubine, come over and I will change seats with you."

Upon hearing the words, Princess An immediately said: "I... I'll go over, and I can't let you go."

After she finished speaking, she felt wrong again. If she passed, wouldn't she ask the princess to move her seat

However, Yuan Qingling didn't mind. Hearing this, she got up.

Princess An gave Yuan Qingling a grateful look, and Yuan Qingling nodded with a smile.

After changing positions, the atmosphere became more lively, because Princess Sun raised the cup and said that she was going to respect the Queen Mother and Princess Anfeng.

The queen mother responded and raised the cup. Everyone except Yuan Qingling raised the cup. Yuan Qingling knew that she was not good enough to drink. He would make a fool of himself if he drank it, but if he didn't drink it, it would not give face, so he had to carry it. Wine glass, take a sip.

Fortunately, the singing and dancing performances began, and no one toasted for a while, and everyone was intently watching the graceful dances of the dancers outside.

The sound of silk and bamboo is heard, and sometimes there is the sound of drumming, which makes people feel calm for no reason.

Yuan Qingling wanted to end the banquet soon, because grandma was still waiting for her reunion in the house.

I have been here for two years. I still felt very lonely during the Chinese New Year last year. After my grandma came, I felt that life could take root here, as if there was a place in life.

And she hopes that the banquet will end soon, and there is really a shadow, because in the past two years, every time a banquet is held in the palace, there will always be some big or small mess in the end, which makes it very unpleasant.

Princess Anfeng later left the banquet and didn't know where to go. The dishes were all up to the sixteenth course, and she hadn't come back yet.

It was not until the feast was over that she was seen coming in from outside, but her face seemed to be slightly stunned.

With so many people here, Yuan Qingling was not easy to ask questions, but after seeing her sitting down, she drank two glasses of wine, as if she was really angry.

Everyone looked at her behavior very strange, what happened to the old princess

After another singing and dancing, Princess Anfeng said to her: "The atmosphere outside is good, you can go out with me for a walk, you are full."

Yuan Qing couldn't ask for it, "Okay!"

The two of them left the table. The night breeze was actually very cold and the atmosphere was there. The garden was full of lights and colored, and the snow on the ground was covered with firecracker skins, and the ground was red.

Yuan Qingling didn't wear fur clothes, so she felt a little cold after her cloak was tightly wrapped.

Walking out of the courtyard of the Guangming Hall, without speaking, he walked to the Shangxianyue Pavilion in the Royal Garden, where the accident happened.

After the two entered, Princess Anfeng dropped the curtain to block the cold wind.

After sitting down, Princess Anfeng looked at her and said: "This time I came back, there is something wrong."

Yuan Qingling also found it strange that they suddenly came back. Since she was willing to say something, she asked, "What's the matter?"

"For the cold-hearted marriage, a few days ago, too late to believe, said Concubine Xian did not agree with this marriage, fearing that she would cause trouble, he called me back and persuade Concubine Xian."

Yuan Qingling was a little strange. The Queen Mother couldn't persuade him. Why did Princess Anfeng come to persuade him? Besides, why did Princess Anfeng come back for such a small thing? After all, Concubine Xian can't cause any trouble, isn't she forbidden

Even if there is no restraint, the queen dowager and the emperor have agreed to this matter, and the concubine Xian concubine is at most making trouble in the palace, and nothing big can happen.

Princess Anfeng seemed to see her doubts and explained: "The Queen Mother called me back, she is keeping the life of Concubine Xian. After all, Concubine Xian is a member of her Su family, but she cannot blindly favor Concubine Xian. This marriage was facilitated by the emperor, and the queen mother must respect what the emperor meant. As for the queen mother who called me to come, she told me to tell the concubine Xian that coldness can be entrusted to her for life, so she can rest assured that the queen mother probably also thinks that concubine Xian will sell my face. As long as she doesn't make trouble, the emperor will not kill her."

Yuan Qing said: "That Xian... What else can the mother concubine cause? Can't stop this marriage, right?"

Princess Anfeng looked at her, "People from the Su family have already said that Lengsi is a disciple, trying to get rid of the princess. How much damage does this do to Lengsi’s reputation? Lengsi doesn’t care, but why is the emperor? Want to marry Yu Wenling to Leng Si? It’s because he wants to develop the economy and improve the status of businessmen, so that the businessmen feel that they can rise to the upper hand, so as to promote development and increase national taxes. If the imperial court promises a princess to Leng Si, it will eventually bear All kinds of infamy, do you think businessmen trust the court? Businessmen do not trust the court, but the court has to develop the economy. In the end, everyone changes the law to avoid taxes. Isn't this going against the emperor's original intention?"

Yuan Qing Ling was startled, she really didn't expect it to be so long-term.
