As soon as the banquet opened, as usual, there would be a stage where many famous ladies performed their talents.
Everyone in this year's performance lacked interest. The elder sons of Guhou's mansion were absent, and Yin Shuo became a son-in-law again. How many unmarried youths are there in the seats that deserve the hard work of the ladies
Because everyone was not very interested, Ms. Wang from Xianfei's mother's family stood out instead and was rewarded by Emperor Ning's side jade pendant.
Seeing this, Yu Fu got up and gave a blessing, "Your Majesty, my ministers also have the same humble courtesy, and I want to present it to Your Majesty during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
At today's palace banquet, most of the eyes of the crowd were on the two couples of princesses and son-in-law who had just married. As soon as Yu Fu appeared, everyone remembered that Guhou's father and son were still at the border.
When they drink water, they think of the source. When they feast and have fun, they should not forget the border soldiers.
"You have a heart, no matter what kind of gift, I like it."
Emperor Ning laughed straight, "Guhou and Shizi and the second and third sons are all at the border. You should remember them as well as me. I am very relieved."
Yu Fufu saluted and left her seat to go forward. Eunuch Gao took the brocade box from her hand and sent it to the imperial court.
"Hmph, I really know how to flatter."
Princess Danyang lowered her voice and snorted disdainfully.
She was sharing her thoughts with Yin Shuo
This is strange.
Yin Shuo smiled, "Whether you really care about Your Majesty or flatter you, the princess should know that the most important thing is to win His Majesty's heart. The princess should learn from Princess Zhenjiang, she is much smarter than the princess at a young age."
Princess Danyang condescended to talk to him in order to let him agree with her point of view, but he didn't expect him to ask herself to learn from Yufu, and said that Yufu was smarter than herself
She was furious, "I don't want to learn! You have to understand, I am the princess born by His Majesty, even if you don't flatter me, no one can match my status!"
Well, it’s right not to learn.
Yin Shuo picked up the wine bottle and took a sip lightly.
He knew that the more he compared Yufu with her, the less Princess Danyang would listen to her, which was exactly what he wanted.
Eunuch Gao opened the brocade box, and Emperor Ning looked into the box, and saw a square of seven-colored gemstones shining brightly in the brightly lit hall.
colorful gems...
Emperor Ning searched in his mind, but did not expect any gemstone to be of this color, and looked at Yufu curiously.
Yu Fu said: "Your Majesty, this is the seven-colored gemstone that the general sent with his family letter. This kind of gemstone is abundant in the jade mines on the border of Xikun. Even if you dig all the jade, you may not be able to find a single piece. According to folk rumors, this stone can bring A sign of triumph."
Emperor Ning picked up the small gemstone with two fingers, and when he heard the words "Omen of Triumph", Longyan was delighted, "Is there really such a saying?"
"Returning to Your Majesty, there are indeed. I have heard of them, but I have never seen the seven-colored gems with my own eyes."
A minister responded, and Emperor Ning became more and more delighted, looking at this small unset gem, he liked it more than all the rare pearls and emeralds in the palace.
Just at this time, a notification sound suddenly came from outside the hall, "Your Majesty, hurry up the military report for eight hundred miles!"
Meng Fei, the commander of the imperial forest army, personally received the letter from the soldiers and sent it to the hall. The people in the seat were shocked when they heard the words, and secretly hoped that it was the good news of victory.
Just mentioning triumph, if the military report is defeated, this Mid-Autumn Festival will not be a good one.
Emperor Ning put the colorful gems back into the box, and stretched out his hand to greet Meng Fei, "Quick, send it to me to have a look!"
Eunuch Gao quickly took the wax apart, and General Ning unfolded the newspaper, with a serious expression on his face.
The golden goblet full of fine wine was put down, and no one dared to touch the delicate and delicious dishes on the seats, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Emperor Ning's hands.
Yu Fu suddenly felt uneasy.
For some reason tonight, she has been feeling uneasy, she actually felt...
The battle report in the hands of Emperor Ning may be the report of defeat!
After reading a military newspaper from the beginning to the end, Emperor Ning's frown suddenly opened, and he laughed loudly, "Hahaha, Gu Hou led the army to cross the boundary marker and wiped out 200,000 of the enemy's main force! A total of 200,000!"
Yu Fu's eyes widened in amazement, and there was a sound of congratulations from all courts, and Gu Yi pulled Yu Fu back to his seat.
"Xiao Yufu, father and the others won the battle, a big victory! Are you unhappy?"
"I... Of course I'm happy."
She felt ridiculous for her ominous premonition just now. Gu Huaijiang had almost never lost a battle in decades. This time, he knew the intention of Xikun people in advance. How could he lose
Caring makes chaos, she must be too caring to be like this.
In the midst of joy, Yin Shuo suddenly stood up and cupped his hands towards Emperor Ning, "Your Majesty, I didn't hear you clearly just now. What did you say? Gu Hou crossed the boundary marker and wiped out 200,000 enemies. What boundary marker did he cross?"
Amidst the joy, the atmosphere suddenly froze, and everyone's smiles froze at the corners of their mouths.
Emperor Ning frowned slightly, and raised his head to look at Yin Shuo, with an extremely complicated expression on his face.
"Naturally, it is the boundary marker between Xikun and Dongling."
"So, Gu Hou didn't defend the border town of Dongling in this battle, but instead invaded the territory of Xikun?"
All the ministers discussed and disputed one after another.
"Xikun and Dongling have just established diplomatic relations. His Majesty has always emphasized that peace is the most important thing. How can Gu Hou cross the boundary marker to fight the Xikun army?"
"What is the establishment of diplomatic relations? That is a trick of the Xikun people. The purpose is to sneak attack on our border town. It doesn't matter if this kind of relationship is not established!"
"But my Dongling is a state of etiquette, Gu Hou behaves like this, it is not the style of our people..."
Amidst the commotion, Yu Fu pursed her lips tightly.
