Chapter 184 Sisters
Lu Chenshuang knew that she couldn't convince these two people, so she just ignored them.
Just when Lu Chenshuang felt that she was finally at peace, Qu Ceyang pulled her sleeve.
When Lu Chenshuang was still a little confused, she suddenly heard a little eunuch shouting loudly: "Princess Rong An is here!"
Lu Chenshuang followed the young eunuch's gaze.
Wow, Princess Rong'an is so dressed up beautifully.
It's like a walking jewellery box.
Not only was her head covered with pearls and jade, but she also had a nine-phoenix golden hairpin inserted in it.
The dress was even more gorgeous, bright red and embroidered with gold thread.
The whole body is glowing under the setting sun.
Lu Chenshuang didn't think it was that beautiful, she just felt sorry for Princess Rong'an.
If she were to go out for a social event wearing such a heavy headdress, her neck would be broken after a long time.
Princess Rong'an knew that no matter how unwilling she was to marry, she could not change this fact.
Besides, tonight is her highlight moment. Such a grand banquet is specially held for her. No one in the entire Dalin Kingdom has this honor.
Maybe she'll be back soon.
Princess Rong'an is full of fighting spirit at this moment.
She walked into Cheng'en Hall with her head held high.
Standing not far from the emperor, he bowed slowly and said, "Your son greets his father, the emperor, his mother, and his grandmother."
Rong'an is now a princess canonized by the emperor and has been crowned with the Royal Jade Butterfly, so she has to call the emperor and empress father and mother.
The emperor looked at Rong An and smiled, "Rong An, there is no need to be so polite.
You will be going to Siwa to marry soon, and I really can't bear to let you go.
But for the sake of our country and society in Dalin, and for the sake of maintaining a lasting friendship with the Kingdom of Xiwa, I have no choice but to let you down."
Although Rong An was disdainful in his heart, he still said with fear and trepidation: "It is my honor to make some contribution to Dalin.
Father, rest assured, I, Xiwaerchen, will not humiliate the status of Princess Dalin this time."
The emperor was very satisfied with Rong'an's answer.
So he said, "Give Princess Rong'an a seat."
Someone immediately added a stool and a table beside the emperor and empress.
After thanking the emperor, Rong An sat down on it.
The emperor saw that today's protagonist had arrived and said loudly: "I invite all of you and your families to the palace for a banquet today. I believe you all know the reason.
Princess Rong'an will leave for Xiwa to marry the prince the day after tomorrow, so today we are giving her a farewell party.
Besides, you all have worked hard for our Dalin Kingdom, and I have seen it all. I have seen how hard you have worked, so I will let you all come to the palace and have some fun together."
The emperor said this beautifully. A banquet not only gave face to the princess, but he also saved money on dowry and made all the officials thank him for being a benevolent monarch.
As expected, as soon as the emperor finished speaking, all the officials stood up and shouted "Long live the emperor, your benevolence and righteousness are unparalleled."
Lu Chenshuang also stood up helplessly. It was just a meal. There was no need to make so many things complicated.
He knelt down twice without even having a chance to drink a sip of water.
This dog emperor is really one of a kind.
Of course, Lu Chenshuang only dared to curse in her heart. At this moment, she absolutely did not dare to offend the emperor.
The emperor saw that the officials were so tactful that their mouths were almost tired behind their ears. He quickly asked everyone to stand up.
He also deliberately glanced at Lu Chenshuang, because he knew that Lu Chenshuang hated this kind of red tape the most.
At this moment, I don’t know how to scold him.
Thinking of this, the emperor quickly shook off the idea. Lu Chenshuang was the woman his ninth brother liked, and he would never allow himself to have any thoughts about her.
However, the emperor still sat on the dragon throne with great dignity and said, "Everyone, just treat today's banquet as an ordinary family banquet. Be casual and don't be so polite."
Then she waved her hand again, and the palace maids began to serve tea and snacks.
It's not time for dinner yet, these snacks are just for everyone to pass the time.
In addition, such palace banquets are naturally inseparable from singing, dancing and talent competitions.
So after the palace actors performed the opening dance, some people couldn't wait to show themselves.
The current emperor is just middle-aged and is extremely handsome.
If I could display my talents and be noticed by the emperor to enter the palace as a concubine, it would not only bring honor to my family.
If I give birth to a son or a daughter, my life in the palace will be more secure in the future.
To take a step back, even if the Queen didn't favor him, those present were all high-ranking officials and talented people, so maybe he could find a good marriage for himself.
What was unexpected was that the first person to stand up and ask to perform was the queen's own sister.
The queen was more than ten years older than her sister and had always doted on her, so when she saw her sister being so impatient, her face turned as black as a frying pan.
She is such a good sister and a good mother.
She had no idea that her parents were so impatient.
If she had not maintained her position as queen for so many years, the Zhou family would have declined long ago.
Before she got pregnant, they tried every means to stuff people into the harem.
She said that it was a taboo for the empress to be childless, so she asked her younger sister to help her enter the palace to consolidate her favor.
When the child is born in the future, I will raise him under her name.
How could she not know their ambitions? Fortunately, the emperor still had some affection for her from his youth, and he declined all the requests out of fear that she would be sad.
When she first became pregnant, the Zhou family was quiet for a while.
This was because she was pregnant and it was inconvenient for her to serve the emperor, so her mind became active again.
The queen had a gloomy face the whole time as she watched her sister dancing below with sweat dripping down her face.
Qu Ceyang said sarcastically: "This Zhou family is really enough, having a queen is not enough, and they even want to send another daughter to the palace.
This Zhou Yu'er is so shameless that she actually competed with her sister for a man."
Ning Wan'er at the side said, "This is at a palace banquet, don't talk nonsense, what if someone with ulterior motives hears it?"
Qu Ceyang stiffened his neck and said, "If they heard it, they heard it. I'm not afraid of them."
Lu Chenshuang glanced at the two of them. She thought that these two people were incompatible, but she didn't expect that they were actually a pair of bickering enemies.
Lu Chenshuang also said calmly: "Ning Wan'er is right, don't be too outspoken at the palace banquet.
Although you can ignore other people's opinions, it is better to be careful about what you say when it comes to the emperor."
After saying this, Lu Chenshuang sighed and felt sorry for the queen.
Ning Wan'er didn't expect Lu Chenshuang to speak for her, and she was deeply moved.
She was actually criticizing Lu Chenshuang at the beginning. Lu Chenshuang is such a good person.
After hearing what Lu Chenshuang said, Qu Ceyang stopped talking.
After the dance, Zhou Yu panted slightly and said, "I am sorry to present you so poorly."
The emperor smiled and said, "Yu'er's dancing is getting better and better.
You are the first to dance, so just tell me what reward you want!"
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Zhou Yuer looked at him with sparkling eyes and asked, "Your Majesty, can you give me any reward?"
The emperor looked at her with interest, and neither said yes nor no, but just asked her to speak out.
