Imperial Palace Qianqing Hall
It is splendid and resplendent, surrounded by drums.
At this time, the palace was bustling with excitement, and the envoys from the three countries had all taken their seats. The princes and princes were all present except Sang Zhi.
All the civil and military officials from the four royal palaces in Beili attended with their families, and the richest men from each palace also gathered.
Only the seats of Dean Chen, Zhanjia, Qianjia, Xiangjia, and Boss Gu were empty, which not only made people suspicious.
It would be a grave sin not to attend the emperor's birthday banquet.
In Chengde Palace, Emperor Beili's face was gloomy at this time. The birthday banquet was about to begin. Marquis Ming, as the general of Beili, had not yet attended.
During the inquiry, I found out that not only Xiang Minghou was not present, but also the highly respected Dean Chen, Zhan Family, Qian Family and even Gu Shuo were not present.
They are all very brave, and they will be severely punished after the birthday banquet.
"The emperor's hour has come." Eunuch Li walked in.
"Have Dean Chen and General Xiang arrived?" Emperor Beili said in a deep voice.
"Not yet."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Beili clapped his big hands on the table: "Everyone is so brave. The majestic general didn't even attend my birthday banquet. If the envoys of the Three Kingdoms were to know, wouldn't it make me lose my dignity?"
"Perhaps some of you are stuck by something. The time for the Emperor's banquet has arrived. The Queen and the ladies of the palace are waiting outside the palace."
No matter how angry Emperor Beili was, he could not tolerate the envoys from the Three Kingdoms losing their etiquette, so he stood up from his seat and walked out.
At the banquet, the envoys from various countries observed the courtiers of Beili, and from time to time, a guard among them bent down and said something in their ears.
At the Dongsi envoy's seat, the seventh princess and the consort looked around at the prince's seat, but did not find Sang Zhi. They looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.
General Xilun was staring at the seat of Marquis Xiang Ming. He couldn't help but feel good because he saw no one there.
"Your Highness, the banquet is about to begin. General Beili hasn't arrived yet. I think he thought he was afraid of having to cut off his descendants." General Xilu said to the twelve or thirteen-year-old boy standing aside.
The young man has a golden crown and a jade belt, and his every move exudes nobility.
Especially that cold face attracted the attention of everyone at the banquet.
The envoys from Nanyuan are Prince Yu and the young prince. The young prince is now nine years old and loves literature. He first came to Beili because he admired the president of Loushan Academy in Beili.
"Uncle, is that Dean Chen?" The little prince looked at the crowd.
Prince Yu looked around and said, "Dean Chen seems not to have attended."
The little prince was a little disappointed.
"The Emperor has arrived."
"The Queen has arrived."
A loud voice broke everyone's thoughts.
All civil and military officials stood up and knelt down to salute.
"See your Majesty, long live your Majesty."
"The Queen, you are a thousand years old."
"Everyone, I love you." Emperor Beili waved his hand and glanced at the empty seat, feeling very distressed.
All civil and military officials stood up and took their seats.
Except for the young prince of Xilu, the envoys of the four countries all bowed down and worshiped the king.
The envoy sat down, but General Xilun stood still and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty is celebrating his birthday, why don't you see General Xiang in attendance?"
"Xiang Aiqing has been delayed on something. I heard that General Mo just went to Xiang Aiqing for a drink two days ago. What's the matter? If General Mo doesn't drink happily, Xiang Aiqing is not the only one in Beili who can drink." Emperor Beili smiled.
"This time I met General Xiang, he didn't even drink at all. It's also his fault that General Xiang was careless in those days, which hurt General Xiang's foundation. It seems that General Xiang is not as good as before. He's too weak." General Xilun laughed loudly. Laughing, it is not difficult to hear the sarcasm in the words.
I just saw that there is a monthly pass. More updates tomorrow
