Chapter 326 Reception Banquet
In the court...
In the magnificent palace were the king and queen of the Donggu Kingdom. They sat high above the court, majestic and solemn.
Under the court, civil and military officials stood in neat rows, creating a spectacular scene. On the right was the imperial teacher Ni Nanai, who was wearing a gorgeous robe and looked particularly eye-catching. Below were the prime minister and other officials at all levels, who lined up in order.
Heading on the left is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qin Hanyu, who is handsome and has extraordinary temperament. Qin Hanmo stands in the second position next to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Below him are several princes, all of them look majestic.
The atmosphere in the entire court was solemn and everyone was waiting quietly. At this time, the guards beside the king shouted loudly:
"Noisy—Prince of the Northern Kingdom, Her Royal Highness the Princess and her envoys are entering the palace!" This shout was like thunder, breaking the silence of the court. Then, the guards below passed on the news one by one, and the voices echoed in the hall, as if announcing that an important ceremony was about to begin.
The sun shines on the gorgeous palace, making the whole palace emit a dazzling light. Ye Nanming, the prince of the Northern Kingdom, is wearing a luxurious brocade robe with exquisite patterns embroidered on it. He looks extremely handsome and has an extraordinary temperament.
Next to him was Ye Xiaoxiao, the princess of the Northern Kingdom. She was also dressed in gorgeous clothes, and her noble appearance made people fall in love with her. Her beauty was like the winter plum blossoms, cold and elegant. Her eyes were as deep as lake water, shining with intelligence. Her skin was as white as snow, as delicate as jade, and exuded a faint fragrance. Her hair was as soft as silk, gently brushing against her cheeks, adding a touch of charm and tenderness.
Following behind the two was the envoy Dugu Bo, who was dressed in northern costume, with a solemn and serious expression, giving people a sense of inviolable majesty. His steps were steady and powerful, and his eyes were sharp and deep, revealing his inner wisdom and decisiveness.
In addition, there were two burly men and a dignified and beautiful woman following them. The momentum of the group seemed extremely powerful and no one dared to underestimate them.
They walked into the majestic hall in a mighty procession, and everyone's eyes were focused on them.
Everyone walked slowly into the palace, their steps seemed a little restrained, but still dignified. When they entered the palace, they immediately bowed, put their hands together, and bowed deeply to the king and queen, saying in unison:
"Greetings, King and Queen." Awe was on everyone's face, as if they were full of endless respect for the king and queen.
The king smiled and nodded slightly to show that he accepted everyone's greetings. His eyes swept over everyone and finally fell on the prince and princess. A trace of love flashed in his eyes. The king smiled and said:
"Prince, Princess, please don't be polite."
The voice was deep and majestic, yet it also revealed a sense of intimacy.
As the king finished speaking, the prince and princess stood up, smiled back at the king and queen, and then sat down. The king looked at the people in front of him, his eyes sparkling with wisdom.
Qin Hanmo met the prince of the Northern Kingdom. Wasn't he the same person he met last night? Just as Qin Hanmo was looking at the prince of the Northern Kingdom, the princess of the Northern Kingdom, Ye Xiaoxiao, also looked over here, and their eyes met.
Ye Xiaoxiao's cheeks instantly turned red; she never thought that there was such a handsome man in the Donggu Kingdom?
Qin Hanmo nodded slightly and withdrew his gaze. Ye Xiaosu also withdrew his gaze. The Northern Prince was familiar with Qin Hanmo. At least they met yesterday, although they did not communicate.
"King, the queen has prepared breakfast in the side hall. Court officials, princes and princesses, and historians, please move to the royal garden." The guard beside the king announced.
"Please come down, King and Queen." Everyone thanked him in unison.
……
Afterwards, the king warmly invited the envoys from the North Kingdom to go to the side hall. When the envoys from the North Kingdom stepped into the side hall, they were shocked by the scene before them. The side hall was decorated gorgeously and brightly lit, showing a prosperous scene in front of them. The banquet table was filled with various delicacies, the aroma was fragrant and mouth-watering.
The king smiled and greeted the envoys from the north. After exchanging pleasantries, the two sides sat down to the table together. At the banquet, the king and the envoys from the north toasted and congratulated each other. The scene was very lively. Everyone talked and laughed, discussing the culture, history, customs and practices of the two countries, which enhanced mutual understanding and friendship.
On the way to the side hall, Ni Naina went to the Empress Dowager's palace. He heard that the Empress Dowager was ill and her condition was very serious. These historians could not leave for a while, so the most urgent thing was to go and see the Empress Dowager first.
In the side hall...
“Your Majesty, I heard that your country’s national teacher is very powerful. I would like to meet this powerful female national teacher.” The prince of the Northern Kingdom said politely and looked around. There were no other women in the palace except the queen and my younger sister. I clearly saw a woman wearing a veil standing at the first seat in the court just now. Could it be her?
"The Imperial Master has gone to take care of some things just now and will be here soon." King Qin Tian was quite confident and satisfied when he spoke of his daughter-in-law.
"Oh, okay." The Northern Prince responded and toasted the king and queen.
