The Western Barbarian envoys have arrived.
Chen Yutian has known this news for a long time, but he has been busy preparing for the engagement banquet recently and has not paid much attention to it.
The engagement banquet is in two days.
And the location is in Kowloon Mansion.
Originally, the painting of the moon was planned to be held at the Dingguo Palace, after all, that was Chen Yutian's real home. But after Xuan Xi and Chen Yutian discussed it, they decided to change the location to Jiulong Mansion.
After all, Jiulong Mansion is their current residence.
Duke Chen respected his son's wishes, so the location was set at Jiulong Mansion.
Therefore, in the past few days, everyone in the Jiulong Mansion has been involved in the preparations for the engagement banquet. From the decoration of the mansion and the auditorium to the selection of banquet chefs, you can see the hands-on work of the Jiulong Divine Catchers. .
Even Ice King Yanzun and the others happily took on the role of commander.
In this busyness, two days passed unknowingly.
The day of the engagement banquet came.
Early in the morning, Jiulong Mansion changed its closed door from the past and opened its ceremonial door. Two red lanterns were hung on both sides of the door, and a red silk was hung on the plaque. On the steps in front of the door, There was also a bright red carpet.
Li Qing and other Dragon Guards, who had always been meticulous in the past, also changed out of their unchanging official uniforms and put on casual clothes today, standing at the door and acting as greeters.
Every time a guest arrives, they will roll their names loudly and welcome them into the house. If they are high-ranking people, there will be a dedicated person responsible for taking them to the VIP seat.
Just as Li Qing and others were welcoming the guests in front of the door, everyone in the Kowloon Mansion was making final preparations in the backyard.
Everyone was standing outside the door of Chen Yutian's room, as if waiting for something.
In the room, Gongsun, Huo Yuanji, Xue Tianhan, and Wu Dongtian looked at Chen Yutian.
At this time, Chen Yutian was no longer wearing the white clothes of the past, but was wearing a newly made red wedding dress. Even the hair crown, shoes, belt, sachet, etc. are all red. He looked quite happy.
"And this." Xue Tianhan picked up a big red flower made of cloth from the table and tied it to his chest.
"Uh... This is not necessary... We are just getting engaged, not getting married, so there is no need to bring this." Chen Yutian looked at the red flower with hesitation in his eyes.
"Of course not..." Huo Yuanji shook his head, took the big red flower from Xue Tianhan's hand, and tied it for him, "Whether it is an engagement or a marriage, it is a major marriage event that only happens once in life. No matter how you say it, it should be done Treated with dignity..."
"That's right." Gongsun also nodded.
Seeing this, Chen Yutian had no choice but to let Huo Yuanji help him tie the red flowers.
"Okay... I guess it's almost time for the princess to arrive. It's time for you, the groom, to go out and greet her..." Huo Yuanji half-joked, pulling and pushing Chen Yutian out of the room.
Everyone outside the door was brightened when they saw Chen Yutian dressed up like this. Especially Chen Gong and his wife were extremely happy to see their son finally put on the wedding clothes.
"Hmm...it looks good." Ice King nodded slightly, then looked at Long Zun beside him, and joked, "Old Ghost Long, I don't know if you saw that your apprentice got married before you. How are you feeling?"
Long Zun glanced at him angrily, but said nothing.
Yan Zun smiled and said to Bing Wang: "Forget it, haven't you ever been married yet? And speaking of it, Tianhan wears white clothes all year round like you. I wonder if it would look good in wedding clothes? "
"Of course it looks good. My apprentice looks good in anything he wears." Ice King said proudly.
Seeing his triumphant look, as if his apprentice was the best in the world, both Yan Zun and Long Zun burst into laughter.
At this moment, firecrackers were everywhere outside Jiulong Mansion, and melodious music could be heard slowly.
"Oh...it seems that the bride has arrived, Yu Tian, why don't you go out to greet her..." Hua Yueming's expression changed and she quickly urged her son.
While urging her son, Hua Yueming took Chen Gong and others to the door of the mansion. After all, the bride was a princess, and the emperor and the queen mother might also come with her. Naturally, everyone needed to go out to greet her.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the mansion, I faintly saw three huge sedans coming slowly from the east.
There are three sedans, the first one is golden, and sixteen people are carrying it together, followed by a team of elite dragon guards to protect them. In front of the sedan, a huge procession of ceremonial guards walks slowly, either playing music or lifting chariots. .
Next to the golden sedan chair, Puyang Mausoleum is accompanying them.
Seeing this sedan, the people walking around, the guests attending the banquet in front of the door, and even everyone in Jiulong Mansion could not help but hold their breath slightly.
The second top of the three-top sedan chair is magenta in color. In front of the sedan chair, there are also sixteen bearers, and there are countless palace ladies around.
The third one is in bright red, with a picture of a dragon and a phoenix embroidered on the sedan curtain. It is carried by sixteen people. There are dozens of musicians in front, playing and playing, and behind them there is also a pair of elite dragon guards to protect them. In addition to their respective In addition to weapons, he also held some firecrackers.
The sound of firecrackers just heard in the yard should be that they were setting off firecrackers.
As the sedan got closer and closer, the music played by the musicians became clearer.
Dahuangmen in the honor guard looked at Jiulong Mansion from a distance, and said loudly: "The Emperor has arrived... the Queen Mother has arrived..."
Most of the people who came to attend the banquet were important officials of the court. Seeing this scene, they all knelt down to pay homage and shouted loudly: "Meet the Emperor... Meet the Queen Mother..."
"I pay my respects to the Emperor, the Queen Mother..."
Everyone who came out to greet him from the Jiulong Mansion also knelt down and saluted. The first of the three sedans came to the front and back of the Jiulong Mansion, stopped, and a voice came from above.
"Everyone in the world..."
The curtain of the golden sedan suddenly opened, and Xuan Ye appeared in front of everyone with a smile.
"Greetings to the Emperor..." Everyone at the door bowed.
"No courtesy, stay on your own." Xuan Ye waved his hand gently and smiled faintly, "I am here to attend Princess Xuan Xi's engagement banquet today. You don't have to be as polite as the court, just do whatever you need to do. "
"Thank you, Emperor, for your kindness." Everyone bowed once more before slowly standing up.
Xuan Ye looked at the brand-new gate of Jiulong Mansion, nodded slightly, and said to Chen Yutian who came to greet him: "Isn't it good... You look good dressed like this."
Chen Yutian was slightly speechless. Are you talking about the gate or me?
Xuan Ye seemed to see through his thoughts and smiled slightly, "Of course I am talking about you... From today on, I will entrust my only royal sister to you. You must treat her well... If you let me know you It would be a little bad to treat her..."
Having said this, Xuan Ye showed a half-smiling expression.
Chen Yutian looked at him helplessly, "How dare I?" After saying that, he looked at Hua Yueming, who was smiling next to the third sedan, and said to Xuan Ye, "If I dare to treat her badly, no need to If you take action, my mother will not let me go."
Xuan Ye laughed dumbly.
At this time, the curtain of the second sedan was also opened, and a graceful and beautiful woman slowly walked down from it. She looked at Chen Yutian who was getting along well with Xuan Ye in front of the door and smiled kindly.
"Queen Mother." Xuan Ye greeted the Queen Mother slightly.
"The Queen Mother." Chen Yutian and everyone in the surrounding Jiulong Mansion saluted.
"No gift." The Queen Mother waved her hand, looked at Chen Yutian seriously, and the smile on her face became even stronger, "Okay... okay... My Xi'er is lucky to have such a husband... ...Chen Yutian, from now on, I will leave Xi'er to you, and you must treat her well..."
"Don't worry, Queen Mother, I will definitely take good care of her and won't let her be wronged in the slightest." Chen Yutian said in a deep voice.
The smile on the Queen Mother's face became even brighter, "Well, with your words, I am finally relieved... Your Majesty, it's time for us to take our seats..."
After saying that, Chen Yutian, everyone from Jiulong Mansion, and Chen Gong and his wife personally accompanied them into Jiulong Mansion.
The VIP seats are located in the main hall, but the status of Xuan Ye and the Queen Mother is too special, and they can be regarded as newlywed relatives, so Chen Yutian specially set up a table for them in the pavilion in the atrium, and another table for the four of them. Sanctuary preparation.
Arriving at the pavilion, the Queen Mother and Xuan Ye sat down, looking at the grand banquet scene in the atrium, and nodded slightly.
At this moment, Li Qing suddenly sang an unexpected name at the gate.
"Taigong Yuan, the special envoy of the barbarian kingdom in the Western Regions, came to visit and presented a pair of gold hairpins, jade and phoenix bracelets, a pair of eight treasures, and ten kilograms of golden fragrant powder, a specialty of the Western Regions..."
