Princess Jinyang naturally saw Chu Yan with a glance, and her beautiful eyebrows under the veil slightly frowned: "I look thinner."
Like a mother-in-law picking on her daughter-in-law, although Princess Jinyang thinks that Chu Yan is indeed excellent, she still wants to pick on the bones in the egg, and always feels that he is not good enough for her daughter.
"I don't feel thin." Su Yan's words made Princess Jinyang lose her temper immediately. Her daughter likes it. What can she do
This occasion was not an occasion for their children to grow in love. Su Yan and Chu Yan's eyes only met for a moment before they separated.
The emperor stood up holding the wine glass, and said in a loud voice: "Today, I specially held a banquet to welcome the soldiers who have returned in triumph. There is no need to be strict with the courtesies, I will drink this glass first."
It can be seen that the emperor is in a good mood, but the empress sitting beside him has a calm expression, only a faint smile hangs on the corner of her mouth.
While picking up the wine glass, Su Yan took a quick look around the opposite side of her, and she noticed with sharp eyes that there was still a vacant seat above the seats of the Sixth Prince and the Seventh Prince. Su Yan intuited that this position should be specially given to King Qin by the emperor.
Because the only ones who can sit in that seat are King Qin and the Seventh Prince of Great Xia who are the guests "messenger".
Celebration banquet, celebration banquet, the Seventh Prince of the Great Xia Kingdom would only come to this kind of banquet when he was out of his mind.
Therefore, Su Yan is almost 100% sure that the emperor should use today's banquet to point out the existence of King Qin.
Su Yan's state of mind was very peaceful, as if she hadn't noticed this matter, she quietly ate the dishes in front of her, paying attention to the movements during the meal.
In fact, the dishes at the banquet are not delicious. The dishes needed for the banquet are of various varieties and large quantities. Therefore, these dishes are all prepared in advance by the Imperial Dining Room. Before serving, return to the pot and then divide the dishes. There is only a small dish on the table in front of each person. The dishes are all cold when they are placed in the mouth before they can be eaten.
Su Yan only took two mouthfuls and stopped eating. She just took small bites of the snacks on the plate, a piece of apricot cake, Su Yan ate it for a quarter of an hour and there was still more than half of it left.
The emperor picked up the wine glass again: "The use of talents is also the pillar of the country. This time, Sun Aiqing has made great contributions. I respect you." After finishing speaking, he drank it down.
Sun Changting immediately got up and drank the wine in his glass, and then said with a smile: "The emperor's praise is such an embarrassment to the old minister. This time the old minister just took the title of coach. He deserves so much credit that he dare not take it. The one who deserves the most praise should be Soldiers on the front lines."
"General Sun's words are justified." A luxuriously dressed young man stood up, it turned out to be Xia Mochu, Xia Mochu was holding a glass of wine emotionally: "Fight for the country on the battlefield! Wrapped in horse leather! Only after death! That's how it is called" It’s a man! General Sun please take me next time…”
Before Xia Mochu could finish speaking, Old General Xia stopped Xia Mochu.
Old General Xia was really afraid that Xia Mochu would go to the battlefield, so he began to teach Xia Mochu a lesson in front of the emperor: "Don't be ashamed of your flamboyant fist and embroidered legs! Don't say whether you are comparable to Prince Jing and Little General Qin! Just say You don't even dare to kill a chicken and still want to go to the battlefield? You honestly find me a grandson-in-law, and it's a serious matter to spread the branches and leaves for the Xia family!"
"Grandfather!" Xia Mochu was very unconvinced, but when he saw Old General Xia's silver hair, he closed his mouth, sat down and took a sip of mulled wine in frustration.
The heroes of the Xia family all sacrificed their lives for the country. Although it was indeed inappropriate for General Xia to teach his grandson a lesson on this occasion, none of the people present had any objection to General Xia's actions.
No one dared to take the words of Old General Xia, only the emperor came out and acted as a peacemaker: "Young heart, you can't be serious, Old General Xia don't have to be too harsh."
Although this was just a small episode, Su Yan's opinion of Xia Mochu changed a little because of it. It seems that he is not as ignorant as the rumors say.
King Jing and Princess Jing were sitting on the left hand side of Xia's house. Seeing the commotion over there, Princess Jing quietly poked King Jing's waist under the cover of her large court dress. King Jing patted Princess Jing's hand, and glanced at Chu Yan unnaturally.
Everyone's eyes are now focused on the Xia family, and no one has noticed the abnormality of Prince Jing's family.
Suddenly a voice from outside broke the chaos in the room: "His Royal Highness King Qin is here!"
His Royal Highness King Qin? !
The room fell silent for a moment, and everyone present was shocked, and some even suspected that their ears had made a mistake.
Sure enough.
Su Yan put down the peach cake in her hand, held her breath and looked at the person who was about to come in.
Before everyone could react, a tall man in a python robe came in through the door. Under everyone's gaze, he strode in and stood in the center of the hall: "I send my respects to my father and queen mother."
"Pingshen." A smile suddenly appeared on the emperor's face.
Looking at the scene of father's kindness and son's filial piety, the empress didn't have any expression on her face, as if she didn't see it.
The people in the hall were astonished, and for a while they all thought about what the emperor meant by bringing King Qin into the capital all of a sudden, and he seemed to value him very much. Do you want His Highness King Qin, or do you just plan to use His Highness King Qin to check and balance the others? What's more, is it intentional to use His Royal Highness as a cover, in fact, to secretly support other His Royal Highnesses
It's all possible.
Everyone's eyes instantly focused on the newly-appeared His Royal Highness King Qin, with the exception of Chu Yan.
The emperor personally helped King Qin up, and said to the crowd: "I have missed King Qin a lot these days, and now I specially order King Qin to come to Beijing to accompany him."
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, all the people whose rank was lower than King Qin stood up and saluted King Qin together. It is worth mentioning that when the sixth prince greeted King Qin, his expression was unclear, but the seventh prince looked very happy.
Under the recommendation of the emperor, Chu Yan greeted the two elders, Prince Yan and Princess Jinyang, respectively.
Prince Yan's performance was as kind as ever, which disappointed many people who wanted to find some clues through Prince Yan's performance. In contrast, Princess Jinyang's attitude was much colder, and she just said lightly: "We are all a family, so there is no need to be polite."
When he got up, King Qin glanced at Su Yan pretending to be casual. She didn't look at him, she lowered her head slightly, not knowing what she was thinking. But Qin Wang was sure that she recognized him, and judging from her slightly trembling eyelashes, she seemed a little uneasy.
"Okay, sit down." The emperor said.
King Qin sent Chu Yan to his seat first, and then he did not return to his seat, but walked to Chu Yan's table, his eagle eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth: "Commander Chu, we meet again gone."
There was a bit of surprise in Chu Yan's eyes, and then he nodded calmly and said, "It's really a coincidence."
This reaction was in line with Chu Yan's temperament.
The emperor asked curiously: "You knew each other before?"
