Xiao Mubai and his party did not go directly to the Qinyi Palace for the banquet. Instead, they went to the Imperial Study Room. Anyway, the emperor had to go up before the banquet could begin. Instead of exchanging greetings there, it would be better to go directly to the Imperial Study Room to join the Emperor.
Unexpectedly, when they entered, General Zhao, Mr. Hou, Huo Tianxiu and Huo Wenshu were also inside.
The two groups of people met, Xu Shi responded with the same idea, and they all laughed knowingly. After Xiao Mubai and his party saw the ceremony, the emperor and others all noticed Lan Yuying who was wearing a veil.
"Is this my grandson's wife?" General Zhao asked impatiently.
Lan Yuying looked awkward, but luckily she couldn't tell with her veil, while Xia Chu said coquettishly: "Grandpa..."
The emperor also had a smile on his face and said jokingly: "What is there to be ashamed of? Why don't you let your sweetheart take off the veil? It will make General Zhao anxious."
"You are obviously very anxious. You just mentioned that the girl Chu'er brought tonight is unknown, but now you are blaming it all on me." Old General Zhao said to the emperor with his head covered, but Xingzi spat. Sprayed Mr. Hou in the face.
Mr. Hou, who was sandwiched between the two of them, stroked his face in embarrassment and sighed: "I want to see it. I'm most anxious. Please don't fight with me, okay?"
Huo Tianxiu tried his best to hold back his smile and looked at the Marquis with eyes full of gloating and mockery, as if to say, you too have this day.
The emperor received the Marquis and said warmly to Xia Chu: "Your father has spoken, why don't you hurry up."
Xia Chu said 'yes' and looked at Lan Yuying. Lan Yuying reached out and slowly lifted the veil. Under the veil, a world-famous face jumped into everyone's eyes. Even General Zhao couldn't help but praise: "This appearance" He is indeed worthy of my grandson.”
The Marquis and Huo Tianxiu were also amazed at how beautiful Lan Yuying was, but the emperor was the only one who froze on the dragon throne without saying a word and looking shocked.
Eunuch Li saw Xia Chu looking at the emperor with a searching look for a long time, so he could only whisper in his ear: "Your Majesty."
The emperor woke up from a dream, looked at Lan Yuying and asked: "What's your last name?"
"Public girl Lan." Lan Yuying's face was calm, neither humble nor arrogant. She grew up in the mountains and had no respect for the imperial power. On the contrary, she looked down-to-earth and generous, adding to her extraordinary magnanimity.
"Lan's..." The emperor muttered these two words, his expression still a little dazed.
"Your Majesty?" Xia Chu frowned and called again.
The emperor suddenly raised his head and took a deep look at Lan Yuying. After a while, his expression returned to normal and he said to Xia Chu: "Your sweetheart looks very similar to an old friend. I was a little distracted for a moment."
"Old friend? Why don't I feel similar to any old friend?" After hearing the emperor's words, the Marquis frowned and thought for a while, but he didn't remember him before, so he looked at Huo Tianxiu.
When Huo Tianxiu saw the searching gaze of the Marquis, he looked over and shook his head to indicate that he had no impression either.
"It's getting late, let's go to Qinqin Palace. Don't let the Mongolian princess wait too long and think that Xiao Guo is deliberately neglecting her." The emperor stood up with a serious look on his face, obviously not wanting to continue the topic.
The others didn't think it was anything. As Eunuch Li said, "Get up and drive to Qinhao Palace," they followed him out one after another. Only Xia Chu looked at the emperor's back for a long time and fell into thinking. In the end, the marquis left. He came over, rubbed his head and said, "What are you thinking about? Why don't you get out quickly."
Xia Chu then put on a smile, walked side by side with Lan Yuying between the Marquis and Old General Zhao, and walked towards Qinqin Palace.
The civil and military officials had been waiting inside for a long time. There was originally a bustle of greetings from inside the house. After Eunuch Li said, "The emperor has arrived," there was a moment of silence. He knelt down and saluted. After the emperor sat down, all the officials raised their heads. Only then did he see Lan Yuying sitting next to Xia Chu.
There was an uproar in the hall, causing a small commotion.
Before that, the most beautiful woman in the Xiao Kingdom had always been Concubine Li.
Even Xia Chu's mother, Zhao Lansheng, ranked second that year.
Even after fourteen years, Concubine Li's beauty has not faded away. She is still an indispensable object of radiance and beauty, which is why she has been so favored. Over the years, concubines in the harem have mushroomed, changing one after another, but she has She is still the emperor's favorite concubine, the one who has been blessed most often.
But now, when the officials saw Lan Yuying's stunning appearance, and looked at Li Fei, they were shocked to realize that even Li Fei was being compared and was more than inferior.
Li Fei had always been proud of her appearance. Seeing Lan Yuying's unparalleled beauty and seeing Baiguan's glances comparing the two of them, her back teeth were almost split.
The emperor did not pay attention to these details. After sitting down, he announced that the Mongolian princess had entered the palace.
As the eunuch outside the palace said, "His Royal Highness King Yu, the Mongolian princess has arrived," the officials' eyes turned from Lan Yuying's face to the outside of the palace door with lingering thoughts.
Needless to say, Xiao Yanjun's lotus-rendering appearance is needless to say. There is no man in the whole country who is more handsome than him.
Therefore, they looked at the Mongolian princess eagerly.
Baiguan had just met Lan Yuying, and now their expectations for the princess's appearance were a little higher.
What caught their eyes was a red figure, wearing a unique Mongolian dress and silver jewelry, with a cute and cute face.
If she were taken alone in the past, she would be a beauty with a pretty face like Zhang Furong.
But standing together with Xiao Yanjun, she seemed even more unattractive than Xiaojiabiyu.
In addition, they walked up to the emperor to salute at this time, and the place where they stood was right next to where Xia Chu and Lan Yuying were sitting. At a glance, if there was a bit of Xiaojiabiyu just now, it was eclipsed now. .
"Aodengge Rile meets the Emperor Xiao." The Mongolian princess knelt down on one knee, placed her right hand on her heart and saluted the Emperor.
Xu Wenlan's expression changed after hearing her self-reported name and she looked at Xia Chu. She was shocked to find out that Xia Chu really didn't bluff him, but she didn't know where he came from.
It stands to reason that Shi Jiajun and Zhao Jiajun are incompatible with each other, and the young marquis has never been to the grassland.
That's why Xu Wenlan was so skeptical before, and when he looked at Xia Chu, he felt more and more that the young marquis looked more and more like someone.
"Get up. Princess, you've been tired from traveling all the way. I specially set up this dust-cleansing banquet for you." The emperor made her stand upright with kind eyes.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your warm hospitality." Aodenge Rile bowed slightly.
"I wonder if you like the husband I have chosen for you?" The emperor said this just as a courtesy. He was still very confident in his son's appearance.
When Aodenge Rile heard this, his cheeks turned red and his eyebrows were affectionate. He glanced at Xiao Yanjun beside him and said shyly.
"I like His Highness Prince Yu very much."
