C419 Dont be afraid (1/2)
Lian Yan Qing had long since placed the Emperor's Royal Brush plaque at the very center of the hall. On it was written ”Long live Changchun”, and when the sun rose, he would lead the children and uncles of the Residence of General to kneel and kowtow three times to the tablet, proclaiming that the Emperor was magnanimous and magnanimous.
In the morning, all sorts of officials came to present their birthday presents, regardless of whether they received the invitation or not. The people who sent the gifts lined up on Zhengyang Street. There were so many gifts that it could be said to be as beautiful as a mountain.
Because the emperor had ordered the birthday banquet to be held, many distinguished guests had arrived today. Princess An, Prince Xue Renyi, Sixth Prince, Seventh Prince, and Eighth Prince had all arrived.
Lian Yan Qing, accompanied by Lian Yan Feng and Lian Yan Tao, welcomed the guest at the head door with a smile.
During the banquet, the maidservants dressed in peach red jackets, blue and white silk tunics, and white silk skirts moved about in an orderly manner, serving hot tea and refreshments to the guests who had arrived.
Even her mother greeted the guests inside, accompanying her to meet all the princesses. Her wife was not Madam Rong, nor Second Wife Hu, nor Third Wife Liu, nor Fourth Wife Yan, but First Miss Lian Yue.
It had been more than half a year since the last birthday banquet, and there hadn't been a banquet as big as this one. Everyone was surprised to find that this young miss had unknowingly become a refined beauty, wearing a pink top embroidered with pink and white peonies, a skirt covered with a watery crescent moon, and a skirt adorned with a hazy silver color. Her skin was like jade, and her lips were full and cherry red.
From this, it could be seen that the position of this great direct descendant was very stable. On the other hand, the previously glorious Third Miss had been given the position of County Lord, but now she was nowhere to be seen.
In the male guest seating area, there was a pair of eyes that were gentle like water looking at her from afar. Those eyes were filled with admiration and her slightly upraised lips couldn't help but reveal a slight smile.
”Ninth royal brother …” At this time, a voice sounded next to his ears, interrupting Feng Yunzheng's train of thought. Feng Ye held up his wine cup and waved it at him.
Feng Yunzheng withdrew his gaze and also raised his wine cup, clinking it with Feng Ye's. ”To the eighth prince.”
”In order to capture that qilin, you spent quite a bit of effort. You were almost crushed to death by that qilin.” Feng Ye drank a mouthful of wine and said with a faint smile.
Feng Yunzheng's hand paused for a moment, but his face remained impassive. ”Eighth prince brother is not a problem in leading soldiers to war, and a qilin is even more so. Imperial brother has done a great service in capturing qilins, and Imperial Father once expressed his praise.
”It was for the girl's freedom, so Brother Wang thought that he had lost the right to return as a qilin. Next time, the Ninth Brother should be more careful. Speaking of which, Brother Wang can also be considered a selfless person.” Feng Ye's face was still the same familiar unruly and arrogant look.
Feng Yunzheng could see an ambition in Feng Ye's eyes. This ambition was not only for the throne, but also … He looked at the girl who was talking beside the princess of An Guo. He turned around and looked at Feng Ye. An unfathomable smile appeared on his lips. This smile contained a trace of coldness and domineering aura as he said,
”Eighth Prince, just sit back and watch. It's just that... she... you can't take her away.”
Feng Ye's gaze darkened as he tightened his grip on the wine cup in his hand.
There was no difference in their expressions, but a suffocating air was flowing around them.
Because she was pregnant, the First Lady didn't get up to move around, but sat down at the ladies' table and chatted with the ladies. Everyone congratulated her on her pregnancy, and Lian Shengru, Chun Yin, and other concubines also surrounded her.
