Chapter 147: The Envoy of Returning to the Moon Arrives

d by the window, her eyes fixed on Ye Wenyan's every move. As early as when she saw Ye Wenyan able to draw a jade brick from the ground of Yong'an Palace with one hand, she knew that her female guards...The phoenix at the Fei Dian was having a banquet. Men began to drink and exchange cups, while women ate tea and snacks. Children of all ages ran around in groups of three or five, going from table to table asking for sweets.

But people had not yet forgotten the appetizer that the Regent King had just served. Between drinking and eating, there was a buzz of conversation. Some women even secretly went to look at Sixth Prince, watching his every move with elegance and grace. Compared to before, he seemed less fierce and more cultured. Their hearts fluttered uncontrollably, blushing as they watched him. 。Many people also focused their attention on the Fourth Prince because he was the first time in the past decade to return to Beiqi and the first time to sit on the grand palace hall at a banquet. 。Adding to that, Qian Qing painted him in a plain white robe, his demeanor refined and scholarly. Judging solely from his appearance, he was indeed the most handsome among the seven princes of the royal family. 。Even though his eyes are now covered in frost, he cannot hide his extraordinary aura. 。For a time, quite a few people found themselves feeling amorous. 。It was just a budding spring affection, but he dared not harbor any secret love. 。As everyone knows, His Royal Highness, the Dust King, holds no power or influence. He merely bears the title of prince, and in reality, there are hardly any servants even within the Dust Palace. They haven't even fixed the broken gate yet. 。Who would want to marry someone like that What good is it if they're handsome, they might just return to the Moon Kingdom again. They can't possibly stay in a good place like Beiji and follow them back to Gu Yue. 。Moreover, the Ye family seems to have intentions towards His Royal Highness, the Dust King. Lady Ye, while outside Chaofeng Gate, expressed on more than one occasion that the Ye family was preparing for a marriage, specifically between Miss Ye Si and His Royal Highness the Dust King. 。Oh, Lady Ye Si and Prince Chen Wang! What a good Prince Chen Wang, to be ruined like this by that witch Ye Wenyan! 。Everyone was pitying Prince Chen, while also harboring more hatred for Ye Wenyan. 。Night Chulian was also looking in that direction, but she wasn't thinking the same thing as others. She was thinking, if she could marry His Highness Dust King, then no matter whether she went to Bei Qi or returned to Yue in the future, she would be willing. 。It's a pity that such possibilities are too slim. Her grandmother is determined to marry her fourth sister to the Fourth Prince. Although she knows that her fourth sister won't be controlled by their grandmother, this also reveals a problem: the Ye family doesn't look favorably upon the Fourth Prince and would never allow her, who has already started receiving training, to marry into the Chen Wangfu. 。Ye Chu's eyes dimmed, though she still reluctantly couldn't take her gaze away from that face, despair gradually appeared in her eyes. 。The dance had reached the third performance, and people occasionally stood up to congratulate Empress Li. 。Because no matter what, the sixth prince's recovery is a happy event. To express congratulations to Empress Li, this is something that no one would object to. 。Empress Dowager Li was very happy, but her happiness was mixed with a hint of sorrow that was hard to detect. 。The eldest daughter of the Li family, Li Yanran, also congratulated her aunt, but this kind of congratulations seemed a bit awkward, especially after she finished congratulating her aunt, she turned to Empress Dowager Yu and ... 。Not only that, but she also presented a special gift brought from the palace. 。It was a vase made of seven colored gems, symbolizing peace and tranquility. There she was, Li Yanran kneeling before the hall, holding the vase aloft in her hands, her melodious voice rising like a song. 。She: “This is the Empress Dowager’s first imperial banquet since assuming her position, and it is also the Emperor’s first year on the throne. This occasion holds special significance for both the country and for the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.” 。Here, I wish Empress Dowager good health and longevity. I also wish the Emperor a stable empire and an early ascension to the throne. 。"She speaks beautifully, and her voice is pleasant. In this situation, Empress Yu wouldn't refuse." 。Then Wen stepped forward and took the precious bottle from Li Yanran's hand. 。Quan Qingcheng couldn't help but take a few more glances at her, and even nodded at her. 。It's not that there's anything else meant, it's just because Li Yanran just said a word to him wishing him a swift accession to the throne. This is the best wish for him, so he felt a little more kindness towards the person who sent such a blessing. 。Empress Dowager Li's face was extremely ugly, but seeing that the Prince Regent had no reaction, she also suppressed her anger and said nothing. 。Li Yanran performed very well, every word and action was very appropriate. After receiving the treasure bottle from Empress Yu, the emperor also nodded to her. She immediately bowed again and then slowly retreated. 。At the Li family's dining table, Madam Tao, the head wife, praised her with great satisfaction: "You did a good job" 。"However, Li Yanran was a bit worried. "Auntie is unhappy..." 。"

Don't worry about her 。"Tao Shi, since we've chosen the new emperor, from now on we won't be on the same path anymore." 。Now that things have come to this, the Li family must make plans for themselves and choose a path. They cannot simply let her control them or put all their assets on her alone. 。For so many years, the Li family has spared no effort for her. As a result, the son she raised is incompetent. Not only did he ruin his own future, but he also wasted all the hard work and dedication of the Li family. 。So she can't blame us, the blame lies with her own lack of fortune. 。Li Yanran nodded, and then she heard Tao say again: "The Seven-Colored Vase has been sent out, but I don't know if it pleases Empress Yu's intentions." 。That empress was once a concubine and had no dealings with our family. No one knows her preferences. 。Before she entered the palace, she had asked her fourth sister to go in first that night. It can be assumed that she has some feelings for the Emperor, who is a benefactor to her. You should pay more attention to this. 。Li Yanran thought for a moment, and said: "The daughter wants to dance with her fourth sister at the palace banquet as she did that night." 。"Knife Dance" Tao Shi's face showed surprise, "You mastered it" “En” 。“Li Yanran also smiled, “It was almost ten days ago that it was complete. Now I can stand barefoot on a knife’s edge and dance for two incense sticks.” 。My sword dance has surpassed the grace of her prime, when she was at her most agile. As long as I can keep practicing my lightness and agility, this sword dance will continue forever. 。"

Tao was very pleased, “As expected of my daughter” 。You should also compare yourself to her, and try to match the sharpness of that night's witch. People shouldn't only remember her when they hear about the beauties of Lin'an city. 。Remember, we didn't fight before because the Sixth Prince was your aunt's son. Even if you argue now, you can never marry him. 。But now we must strive for it, and fight hard for it. Only by securing a higher position can our Li family prosper for generations to come, and you, too, will be able to become a revered mother figure. 。“ The four characters 'mother of the country' ignited Li Yanan's sense of mission, as if she had already ascended to the throne and was ready to rule alongside the emperor. 。And that night, Wen Yan would finally kneel at her feet, calling her "Your Majesty." 。Tao looked at the table for a while, then said: "Besides Ye Wenyan, you also have to be careful of your aunt." 。Lady Night's matriarch has always been on your aunt's side. Now that Sixth Prince is well, I fear there will be further plans afoot. 。But our family can't just go along with her plans anymore, because they have nothing to do with you, and in the future, it's unlikely that the Sixth Prince will help the Li family. 。If she were in charge, the Li family would likely be finished. Your future would have no hope at all. 。"To Sixth Prince, Li Yanran truly couldn't understand: "When did Brother Qinglu become so good Where did the Regent King find such a renowned physician The Li family hasn't spared any effort for his well-being. Just the other day, I heard Father say that Sixth Prince had completely given up hope. How is it that today..."She glanced at the princes' seats, "Mother, is he really Brother Qinglu Why do I always feel like he's a different person"Tao Shi also followed her gaze for a moment, then sneered, "If it's not Quan Qinglu, who else could it be He's not only cured his injuries but also his mind. Now he acts just like the Regent King." 。What's learned is just what's learned, it's not his true nature. Sooner or later there will come a time when he can't keep it up. 。Just look at the Duchess of Shu, her face is swollen and she doesn't even dare to move her hand, clearly she was beaten. 。It seems your cousin just changed his appearance, but nothing much has changed on the inside. 。“

Hearing what Tao said, Li Yanran also found it reasonable and stopped dwelling on the matter.

" 。There was just one thing that still weighed heavily on her mind: "The Listening to the Moon Country had sent a princess to marry the Emperor. " 。"That's fine. " 。"Tao smiled, 'The most a princess of the royal court can be given is the title of concubine. It's impossible to climb up to the position of empress, that's the rules.'" 。The emperor could have countless concubines, but he could only have one empress. 。So don't worry about how many concubines he takes, it has nothing to do with you. Just as long as the Empress is you. 。“Could the Empress be me” “So we have to plan, without planning, how is there a possibility Humph, your aunt before wanted to send you to the Kingdom of Guiyue, and your grandmother agreed to her words, no matter how much I begged, she wouldn't change her mind.” 。 。Hang in there, the old woman only has a couple of years left. Then there will only be your father left at home. 。"

Li's mother and daughter were talking when suddenly, a voice rang out from outside the palace gate: "Ambassador of Guiyue is here to pay his respects!"

All eyes turned to the entrance of the main hall. Ye Wen also put down a piece of dessert in her hand and went to look outside with everyone. " 。The lunar envoy's party consisted of six people, four men and two women. 。The master and mistress only had one son and one daughter, the rest were all servants. 。This group of people entered the hall, and the most eye-catching among them was a woman in red. 。The woman was veiled in red, covering half her face, but just the exposed eyes and forehead were enough to captivate anyone who looked at them. 。A gasp of astonishment echoed through the main hall, and someone exclaimed, "What a stunning beauty! How can there be such a beautiful woman in the world" 。“But she’s still there, isn't she Night Sister Four is right where she was!” Indeed, Night Sister Four was still there. 。So people's reactions like this have also happened before, when they first met Ye Jia Si Jie, they couldn't help but sigh. 。Now such a sigh is given to another person, which makes many women feel stifled in their hearts. 。One night siren is enough, how come there's another one who doesn't even need to show her whole face and is so beautiful that it's suffocating Can't you leave anyone a way to liveThe envoy of Guiyue knelt down and exclaimed: "Congratulations on the new emperor of Beiqi ascending the throne, I wish Beiqi's national fortune prosper, and the common people be healthy." 。"’s good to have children, but what kind of son did you give birth to What kind of son are you giving me Is it a problem with your upbringing or the problem with your birth Why is he still not engaged...
