Chapter 499
An hour is just a moment.
It's time for the welcome banquet.
A welcome banquet is a banquet specially set up to welcome envoys from other countries. This is an etiquette that all countries pay attention to.
For example, when the envoys from Danliang and Zhuxiang went to Yunlang to attend the Three Kingdoms Exchange Meeting, Emperor Yu hosted a banquet in the palace. Another example was when the envoys from Yunlang and Danliang came to Zhuxiang to wish Emperor Wei on his birthday, Prince Yi's Mansion
Have a banquet.
Today, Prince Yi went to Danliang. Envoys from Yunlang and Zhuxiang had already arrived, and Danliang also held a welcome banquet.
The sunset emerges from the sky, and when the sun sets in the west, the orange-yellow color rolls across the sky, outlining the scene of the setting sun.
The afterglow of the setting sun casts its shadow on the bright white Rong Palace Gate. It is both majestic and ancient, with grandeur and softness complementing each other.
The carriages and horses of the envoys from Yunlang and Zhuxiang also arrived outside the gate of Rong Palace at this time. They got off the carriage and looked at the Rong Palace again. Compared with the last time, Su Rao felt that this time, Su Rao felt more
Feel again.
Danliang Kingdom, the most stable dynasty among the Three Kingdoms, can be felt from just one palace.
Rong Palace is not as majestic and solemn as the former Qin Palace and the current Yun Palace, nor is it as heroic and domineering as the Siamese palaces. Instead, it is grand and has a sense of being outside. When you are in it, your mind will feel broadened.
The only sad thing is that the people who live in such a palace now have polluted this palace and even polluted the country of Danliang, which is like a spring breeze.
"Prince Yi, Prince Yun, and your subordinates are waiting here with my emperor's order. Please follow me to the Zhongjia Hall."
The Minister of Rites, following the emperor's order, personally waited for the envoys from the two countries at the gate of the palace, and led the envoys from the two countries into the palace for the banquet.
After handing over the invitation, the Minister of Rites did not take the lead to lead the way, nor did he fall behind. Instead, he stood side by side with Prince Yun and Prince Yi.
He is the second-rank minister of the Ministry of Rites. Although he is not as noble as the prince, he is still a high-ranking minister of the Danliang Kingdom. He is polite to the envoys of the two countries, but he will not lower his status like a servant and bring shame to the Danliang Kingdom.
As for Su Rao, Princess Yunlang, since the more noble Prince Yun is in front of her, Su Rao is a junior, and Minister Danliang does not need to bow down and greet her.
Su Rao only needs to follow Mr. Yun into the palace together.
"Princess Ronghua, wait a moment."
But just after Prince Yun and Prince Yi stepped into the palace gate first, and when Su Rao was about to follow them, the Imperial Guards guarding the palace gate came out with spears from left to right, blocking Su Rao's path.
The newly appointed commander of the imperial army cast his eyes on Yun Ji, who was still wearing a mysterious mask next to Su Rao. After looking at him, he said again:
"I wonder who this person is next to Princess Ronghua, and why he is wearing such a mask to cover his face. I am afraid it will be inappropriate to meet the emperor when entering the palace. I have been ordered to guard the safety of the palace, so I would like to ask this person to remove the mask before entering the palace."
The last time Yun Ji was able to wear a mask and enter the Rong Palace, something unexpected happened. Under the circumstances at that time, no one would have thought about Yun Ji, a mysteriously dressed person.
But today is different. The royal family held a banquet to welcome the envoys of the two countries, and there were ministers of the third and higher grades of Danliang and their families attending the banquet. How could a person dressed in such mysterious clothes be allowed into the palace without finding out his identity.
The words of the commander of the imperial army also caused Prince Yun, Prince Yi and others who entered the palace to stop for a moment.
Turning around, Mr. Yun's brows slightly moved. Just when he was about to say something, Su Rao spoke first and intertwined her fingers with Yun Ji. She didn't shy away from other people's eyes. What relationship did she have with Yun Ji.
"Who is the person next to my princess? I need to tell you, the small imperial army, what you mean by this, what kind of wrongdoing does this princess have towards Danliang?"
Despite these sharp words, Su Rao was still so dandy and perverse.
Then, she looked at Old Prince Yun with an innocent look on her face.
"Grandpa Yun, you've seen it! It's not that I want to find Danliang, but it's that Danliang keeps looking for me. I think it's better not to go to this welcome banquet. My fifth brother has been found. I
I will go back to Yunlang by myself, and I won’t wait for Grandpa Yun to come with me.”
After saying that, she pulled Yunji and was about to leave. She didn't want to come to this banquet yet.
This operation caused the commander of the Imperial Guard's expression to change for a moment.
Originally, it was his duty to find out the identity of the people who entered the palace, but Princess Yunlang would accuse him of suspecting the envoy of Yunlang's misdeeds just because he disagreed with her. She was really cunning, cunning, and very sharp-tongued.
Immediately, he said again in a deep voice:
"The general did not have this intention. Princess Ronghua misinterpreted the general's intention. Could it be that the people around Princess Ronghua have some shameful intentions, which is why they hide their heads and tail like this and dare not show their true colors to others."
"Princess Ronghua always likes to be so aggressive. I have to be more careful. Is there really something shameful about the people around Princess Ronghua, or Princess Ronghua is afraid of entering my Danliang Palace."
Pei Liang, who came with him, said something like this immediately. Although he had a smile on his face, he was still a well-mannered Minister Pei, but his last words sounded like he was irritating the general. Su Rao was not the kind of person who was irritated.
Dare to enter the palace, so he deliberately misinterpreted the meaning of the commander of the imperial army in the words of the commander of the imperial army, in order to leave.
Su Rao's already moving steps suddenly stopped, turned his head, and looked at Pei Liang, who was following behind Mr. Yun and entering the palace gate. There was a thick dark color on his face, which was highlighted by the forehead.
The ugly sunken scars caught the eye, and at that moment, he suddenly felt that the title Princess Ronghua had given her as the ugly daughter of the Su family in Yunlang Country was truly worthy of her name.
"Inspire...to...fa..."
His voice was slightly cool.
The stopped steps moved again, and Su Rao took another step back to the palace gate. The dazzling red color was dazzling. As she took steps, the red dress cut through the sky, and the hem of her skirt swayed in the wind.
A strand of black hair also brushed over her eyes as she walked, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes looked at Pei Liang again, feeling clear about Pei Liang's deliberate provocation.
Pei Liang felt intimidated for a moment. He didn't know whether he was shocked by Su Rao's strength of just one step, or was shocked by Su Rao's penetrating gaze. Only then did he frown again, and Su Rao blocked his heart again.
"Glory."
Only then did Prince Yun speak, and came over to stop Su Rao.
"Danliang is holding a banquet tonight. Don't lose my integrity in Yunlang."
After saying this, Prince Yun said to the commander of the imperial army that the person beside Su Rao was the one he took with him. If anything happened to this person, Yun Lang would be responsible for it. As for who this person was, he was the only one who had Yun Lang.
Prince Lang acts as guarantee, and the commander of the imperial army does not need to bear any responsibility.
"Now that the old prince has spoken, I will no longer stop him."
Since Old Prince Yun made such a guarantee, the commander of the imperial army stopped saying anything else and turned around to retreat.
Looking at the Minister of Rites, who had never interfered, he handed over his invitation again and invited Prince Yun and Prince Yi to enter the palace.
From beginning to end, Prince Yi never interrupted. But at this moment, Fang casually glanced at Su Rao and at Yun Ji, who had not made any move before walking into the palace.
Prince Yi's gaze only lasted for a moment, but Su Rao noticed something. She held Yun Ji's hand again, looked sideways at the commander of the imperial army, and when she passed by Pei Liang, she said something provocative:
"Servant Pei, I have never been provoked in the past, but this time, I have been provoked. This visit to Zhirong Palace, I will definitely give Minister Pei an unforgettable memory.
"
Yun Ji, who was being led by Su Rao, had just made a slight outline in the corner of his mouth. He lowered his eyes to look at such an arrogant and dazzling sweetheart beside him. His eyes were overflowing with tenderness, as if thousands of gorgeous youths were poured into him.
"I'll wait and see."
Pei Liang also answered, with a proper smile on his face. He was polite again, and his frown relaxed again.
