"The emperor has arrived! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived! The second prince, the third prince, and the seventh prince have arrived! The prince of Xiling, the prince of Beichen, the eldest prince of Dongli, the sixth prince of Dongli, the three princesses of Nanyue, and the envoys of various countries have arrived!" was the voice of the emperor's father-in-law.

Lin Wan just sat down, stood up again, and knelt down with everyone to pick up the car.

"Ministers greet the emperor! Long live the emperor, long live, long live! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, the Third Prince, and the Seventh Prince, His Royal Highnesses Chitose Chitose Chitose! Welcome to Prince Xiling, Prince Bei Chen, Prince Dongli, Prince Dongli Liu, the Three Princesses of Nanyue, and envoys from various countries!" Liu Qingyuan led the shout.

"All the ministers are flat!" the emperor's voice was full of anger.

Lin Wan raised his eyes and saw that the emperor was wearing a yellow dragon robe and a golden crown, tall, not angry and arrogant, slightly blessed, but also a handsome uncle.

On the opposite side, the crown prince and Ximen Yuqing sat at a table, the second prince and Bei Xiaonan sat at a table, the third prince and Jin Pengzhan sat at a table, Zhou Tianqi and Jin Haoran sat at a table, and Lan Ziyue sat alone at a long table.

Lan Ziyue sat next to Zhou Tianqi and kept talking to Zhou Tianqi, but Zhou Tianqi didn't look at her, only occasionally replied to her, obviously very impatient.

Lin Wan was facing them, but he was a few feet away and couldn't hear what they were saying.

"Sister Wan'er, did you say that the Nanyue princess knew Brother Tianqi, what did you say they had been talking about?" Lu Manting asked Lin Wan in a low voice.

Lin Wan smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "I don't know, I shouldn't know it, I heard that Princess Ziyue is coming to the capital for the first time." ”

Lu Manting nodded suspiciously, and said worriedly: "Then did she take a fancy to Brother Tianqi? I heard that she came to kiss her." ”

Lin Wan patted her hand and said with a smile: "Sister, don't worry, you see that the Seventh Prince doesn't like her." ”

Lu Manting's face was slightly red, and she glanced at Lin Wan. In a blink of an eye, he suddenly saw Ximen Yuqing on the other side looking at him, frowned, lowered his head and said softly: "Sister Wan'er, do you see that the Prince of Xiling is looking at us?"

Lin Wan raised his eyes and saw Ximen Yuqing looking at him with a smile, and when he saw himself looking over, he nodded with a smile.

Lin Wan didn't have any response to Ximen Yuqing, and smiled at Lu Manting: "My sister is good-looking, and the princes on the other side are all looking at you!"

Lu Manting lowered her eyes, her face was flushed, and she was even more cute, her little hands wringed uneasily in her handkerchief under the table, and she did not hide the joy in her heart.

Lin Wan sighed in her heart, such a beautiful woman should be something that no man can refuse, even Lin Wan sometimes can't bear to hurt her.

Father-in-law Qi announced the start of the dinner, and the palace maids rushed in, and in an instant, each table was already full of wine and delicacies.

The venue gradually quieted down, and Emperor Zhou Chang'an raised his wine glass, his voice was loud, and said: "The envoys of various countries have come from afar, and I have specially set up this banquet for you to wash the dust. As he spoke, he stood up, raised his glass and said, "I have a drink with Zhongqing!" After speaking, he raised his golden cup and slowly drank the wine in the cup.

Everyone stood up, each raised their glasses and drank it all, bowed their hands, and said in unison: "Thank you for the emperor's grace!"

The emperor nodded, stopped talking, and squinted at the officials in the audience, no one knew what he was thinking or who he was looking at.

The singing and dancing gradually began, and the hundred officials slowly began to be active, pushing the cup and changing the lamp.

Lin Wan looked down at the dishes on the table without a trace of appetite, quietly watching the singing and dancing on the stage, Lu Manting beside her only cared about looking at her sweetheart, and no longer talked to Lin Wan.

Zhou Tianqi never drank alcohol, there was a pot of tea on the table, drinking by himself, squinting at the field, his face was expressionless, and his demeanor was the same as that of the emperor. Jin Haoran next to him tasted the wine, admired the dancing of Mei Ji on the high platform, and occasionally said a few words to him, even if he didn't answer, he didn't mind, he was still smiling and graceful.

Lan Ziyue was drinking alone, huffing and puffing, as if she was very dissatisfied with Zhou Tianqi, occasionally glaring at him, but Zhou Tianqi didn't seem to be aware of it. In the eyes of those who have a heart, they don't know if she has a grudge against Zhou Tianqi or affection?

Zhou Lingwei maintained an appropriate smile on her face, her eyes fell on her desk, occasionally looking at the singing and dancing in the field, and she got along well with Liu Fangyao, but rarely talked. Concubine De was also very satisfied when she saw it, her daughter was still so sensible and did not show any emotion.

However, Zhou Lingwei's heart was chaotic, by watching singing and dancing, she occasionally looked up at Jin Haoran opposite, but the other party didn't look at herself, and she felt a little lost in her heart.

After a dance, two more women in red flew onto the stage with long swords in their hands, dancing beautifully, combining rigidity and softness, and the hundreds of officials in the audience applauded, and Lin Wan couldn't help but nod.

"Bang!" Lan Ziyue's wine glass suddenly fell heavily on the table.

The field gradually quieted down, and they all looked at the Nanyue princess with an angry face on the high platform, and they didn't know who provoked the legendary female god of war.

The two dancing girls on the stage also stopped, kneeling on the stage, their bodies trembling, wondering if they had angered the Nanyue princess.

Lan Ziyue stood up, walked to the middle, bowed down and stood in front of the emperor, arched her hand, and said: "Your Majesty, I have heard that the princes of your country are both civil and military, I don't know if Ziyue is lucky, but I can take this opportunity to ask for advice." ”

The emperor was silent after hearing this, and the needle drop could be heard in the field.

Seeing the stalemate of the scene, the queen hurriedly smiled slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, since Princess Ziyue is interested in this, why shouldn't the emperor allow this matter, fortunately, it will only stop at the point, and it will not hurt the harmony between the two countries." ”

The emperor nodded, his face was expressionless, and he raised his glass and drank slowly, obviously saying that he did not approve, but if you insist on humiliating yourself, I will not stop you.

The queen turned her head and looked at Lan Ziyue with a smile, glanced at Zhou Tianqi again, and asked, "I wonder which prince the princess wants to learn martial arts with me?"

As soon as Lan Ziyue heard that the emperor and the queen had agreed, she immediately smiled, and said arrogantly: "This princess wants to ask the seven princes of your country for swordsmanship. ”

"This ......" When the queen heard this, she frowned and hesitated: "The princess has golden branches and jade leaves, the sword has no eyes, if you hurt the princess......"

The queen's words were not finished, but the meaning was very obvious. Lan Ziyue has always been conceited, and listening to the queen's words aroused her competitive heart, and said categorically: "The queen doesn't have to worry, Ziyue has followed General Hong Qiong to fight on the battlefield since she was a child, and she is not the same as the daughter of your country who is raised in the deep boudoir, and the competition between this princess and the seventh prince is only to the point, and she will not hurt him!"

As soon as these words came out, the emperor couldn't help frowning, but he still didn't say a word, just his eyes fell sharply on Lan Ziyue's face.

And Lan Ziyue was not afraid, standing straight in the middle of the field, looking at Zhou Tianqi defiantly, waiting for him to fight.

Zhou Tianqi still maintained his previous state, as if he hadn't heard what she was saying, as if this matter had nothing to do with him at all.

Seeing that he didn't take himself in his eyes like this, Lan Ziyue was even more angry, and her pretty face turned red. (To be continued.) )
