Jun Yao and the others just sat down. The emperor and the queen led the concubines into the palace. The emperor and the queen walked onto the stage. Several noble concubines were sitting under the royal platform.
After the emperor and queen sat down. Everyone knelt down and saluted: "See you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! May Your Majesty live a thousand years!"
The emperor said in a friendly tone: "Get flat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone stood up.
"Everyone, please take a seat!" the emperor said kindly.
After everyone took their seats. The emperor gestured with his eyes to Eunuch Gao, who was standing beside him, and Eunuch Gao read out the sacred message: "The banquet has officially begun."
The palace ladies walked into the Jinluan Palace in a queue, carrying exquisite wooden trays. There are wine bottles and wine glasses on the wooden tray. The teapot, teacups, etc. come to the table and put them on the table, and then put the teacups filled with tea in front of the guests.
The Queen Mother picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, then started to do something. She looked at the Seventh Princess sitting next to Jun Yao and said: "Xiao Qi, you and your third brother change seats."
The seventh princess immediately understood what the Queen Mother meant and said obediently: "Okay, grandma!"
The seventh princess stood up and came to King Qin's side, "Third brother, go!"
King Qin was ecstatic and nodded happily. "Okay! Thank you, Xiaoqi!" King Qin quickly came to Jun Yao and sat down. He turned around and whispered to Jun Yao: "Luo Luo, tonight you are as beautiful as a fairy descending to earth, the most beautiful and dazzling!"
Jun Yao picked up the tea cup and drank tea gracefully. With her right hand holding the cup lid, her little finger raised her orchid finger, which was very elegant. After taking two sips of tea gracefully, he placed the tea cup on the table generously. Ignore him.
King Qin looked at Jun Yao tenderly, and the warmth in his eyes could make people melt. He said proudly: "You are indeed my Luo Luo, but it is different. Not only is she beautiful, she is also smart and versatile! Looking at the world, , who can compare with my Luoluo!"
Jun Yao turned her head and gave him a look. Said: "What nonsense are you talking about! Shut up!"
King Qin still looked at Jun Yao tenderly, his deep eyes shining with stars.
Watching the handsome man and beautiful woman in the audience whispering to each other. The emperor and queen on the throne smiled knowingly and understood the Queen Mother's intention. There are some things they can't do, but it's appropriate for the Queen Mother to come forward!
The maids continued to place plates of royal delicacies on the table.
King Qin put chopsticks one after another into Jun Yao's bowl. After a while, Jun Yao's bowl was filled with delicacies.
In full view of everyone, King Qin served himself food so unscrupulously. Jun Yao is a little shy!
When King Qin was holding a piece of mutton and was about to put it in Jun Yao's bowl, Jun Yao stopped him, "No! Stop putting it in." After Jun Yao's gentle stopping voice, she felt a little strange.
Jun Yao raised her eyes and glanced at the people at the same table, and found that they were all looking at her with strange eyes. Jun Yao's little face turned red, like a red apple, very delicious and attractive. King Qin stared into her eyes, dumbfounded.
Jun Yao was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl in. "You're so shameless, you're so red for not living up to expectations, what's the point of being popular, it's useless! Wang Junyao, you are so embarrassing!" Jun Yao scolded herself in her heart.
The Queen Mother knew she was shy. Continuing to add fuel to the fire, he said in a sour tone: "Oh! Why didn't Ye'er bring me some food? Do you think you dislike me for being old? Oh! It's no use!"
Jun Yao quickly picked up the serving chopsticks, took a chopstick of mutton and put it into the Queen Mother's bowl. "Grandma Huang, let me pinch it for you!"
The Queen Mother's eyes shone brightly, "My Yaoyao is still good and knows how to be filial to the Imperial Grandma. How great it would be if you were already the Princess of Qin, so that I can go to the Prince of Qin's Mansion every day to have a meal! Alas! It's a pity that you are not yet, What a pity!"
Jun Yao was helpless. I thought to myself: "Since we met tonight, Grandma Huang has been wildly hinting at bringing me and King Qin together. Shouldn't the intention of bringing us together be obvious? I would be embarrassed."
"Grandma, didn't Luo Luo pick up food for you? Luo Luo's pick is the same as what I pick up for you. And it's very fast...!" King Qin did not dare to say the last few words. He was afraid that Luo Luo would be angry. If Luo Luo ignored him, it would kill him.
After King Qin spoke, several princesses also spoke: "We are far away from our mother, and there is still Yaoyao! Besides, Yaoyao will soon become your granddaughter-in-law, there is no difference."
The Queen Mother and several princesses openly teased Jun Yao in front of her. Jun Yao is like a mute who eats Coptis chinensis and can't tell her the pain. They are all elders and he is embarrassed to argue with them in public. Jun Yao had no choice but to break her teeth and swallow it. If she had known that tonight was the Hongmen Banquet, she would not have come to this palace banquet!
King Qin panicked when he saw several royal aunts teasing them wildly. "It's over, it's over. Luo Luo must be angry now. The aunts are happy. What should I do? If Luo Luo mistakenly thinks that I asked the aunts to do this, Luo Luo will have to eat me alive!"
King Qin shrugged at Jun Yao, indicating that it had nothing to do with him. Not what he meant.
Jun Yao thought that he had a guilty conscience. Jun Yao said nothing with a dark face, threw a piece of meat into her mouth and chewed it fiercely.
Seeing this, King Qin trembled. King Qin looked at the imperial aunts with pleading eyes, and then at the Queen Mother, signaling them to stop talking.
However, after one wave of peace and another, the Empress Dowager asked the Emperor to choose a wedding date: "Your Majesty, the Ai family has an unkind request. Please ask the Imperial Preceptor to look at the almanac. Which day is suitable for hiring, and which day is suitable for marriage! Get Yao as soon as possible. Yao and Ye'er's marriage has been arranged. The Ai family is getting older and I'm afraid they won't be able to wait to hold their child."
Jun Yao was stunned, "We are getting married after only two days of marriage? Isn't this forced buying and selling? I wanted to talk to Shao Xiuye and cancel the marriage. How did things become like this? They are like this Are you pretending to be a bandit?"
The emperor listened to the Queen Mother's words. Long Yan is overjoyed! "Okay, okay! Since the Queen Mother has said so, Imperial Master, you can deduce it now. What day will happen!"
The Imperial Master stood up and offered his hands to the Emperor. An old man's voice rang out: "Yes! Pingdao will calculate it right now!"
King Yuqing was in a panic. He quickly stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, my daughter has only been married for two days, and I can't bear to marry her off now! I also want to keep her by my side for two more years. I hope your Majesty will grant your permission." My little wish!"
Everyone in the audience looked at King Yuqing and sincerely admired him for daring to refute the emperor in front of everyone.
The emperor listened to King Yuqing's request and was not angry. Instead, he patiently advised King Yuqing, "Don't worry, dear brother. I promise that after they get married, they will not change Yaoyao's current living habits, let alone prevent her from studying in the academy. Teaching. Keep her personal freedom. Getting married is just a ceremony, that is, having an extra family. After marriage, it’s up to her whether she wants to live in the Prince of Qin’s Mansion or the Prince of Yuqing’s Mansion. Prince of Qin, you may abide by these promises of mine. ?”
King Qin looked at Jun Yao seriously and said sincerely: "Luo'er, I guarantee with my life and property that I will abide by my father's promise. After we get married, if you want to live in your parents' house, I will live with you! I just want to love and protect you. All your life, you only want us to be together for the rest of your life! As for other things, I respect all your ideas. If you disagree with me, I will be struck by lightning."
Seeing the people around her swearing so solemnly, Jun Yao was not moved at all, she just felt irritated. "What they are doing now is to rush the ducks to the shelf, and they don't even ask me if I am willing! What's the use of taking these oaths. They have no regard for my feelings."
When Jun Yao was about to stand up and refuse. The Imperial Master spoke, "Your Majesty, the twenty-fifth day of this month is suitable for making an appointment, and the eighth day of September is suitable for marriage!"
After listening to the words of the Imperial Master. Jun Yao slumped on the chair, her face pale. I thought to myself: "What! Is this it? Is it a foregone conclusion? It's hard to refute the emperor now in full view of everyone. It's better to run away first and have a good chat with Shao Xiuye later."
At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on the emperor, wanting to hear what the emperor would announce next.
From the corner of his eye, King Qin saw Jun Yao's pale face and asked with concern: "Luo Luo, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
Jun Yao's face was expressionless and her tone was cold: "I'm a little tired, I want to go back."
King Yuqing also noticed Jun Yao's condition. He stood up and walked to Jun Yao's side. Concerned: "Yao'er, what's wrong with you?"
Jun Yao waved her hand, "Father, I'm fine! I'm just a little tired and want to go home!"
King Yuqing turned to face the emperor. He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Yao'er is tired, so I will take her back to the mansion to rest and say goodbye first!" After saying that, King Yuqing took Jun Yao and left the Jinluan Palace.
He left the table without waiting for the emperor's permission. Only the Royal Prince has the courage to do so! The other ministers looked at each other in disbelief, not even daring to breathe. He was afraid that the emperor would be angry and implicate himself. As a result, the emperor said nothing and did not get angry. He just watched his father and daughter leave the hall calmly!
King Qin sent them to the entrance of the palace and ordered his subordinates to send Jun Yao and his daughter back. Looking at Jun Yao's tired face, she said distressedly: "Luo Luo, go back and have a good rest. I'll see you again tomorrow!"
Jun Yao nodded, and King Yuqing helped her onto King Qin's carriage.
King Qin waved his hand towards the car window, "Uncle Emperor, Luoluo, please pay attention to your safety!"
There was no movement inside the car.
King Qin watched the carriage disappear into the darkness before turning back to the palace. King Qin just sat down.
The emperor said: "King Qin, the imperial master has already found a date. What should be done next? Don't omit the necessary ceremonies. Prepare the betrothal gift. On the 25th, Geng will be betrothed on time. I want to marry Yaoyao. We were a bit selfish about this matter and didn’t even ask for Yaoyao’s opinion! It was a bit too hasty. You should explain it clearly to your uncle and Yaoyao, and spend more time with your uncle. This is true before marriage, and also after marriage. That’s right. Don’t neglect it.”
King Qin solemnly promised, "Father, don't worry! I will definitely obey my orders and will not let my uncle down! Nor will I make Luo Luo sad. Luoluo is as precious to me as life! I will definitely live up to her in this life."
The emperor looked at him with disgust and said: "I think it is more precious than your life! I have never noticed when King Qin cherished his life. You always don't cherish your own life. If you take Yaoyao in the future, someone will take care of it. you."
After Jun Yao and the others left, the banquet took half an hour to end. All the guests also said goodbye to the emperor and queen and left the Jinluan Palace.
