With everyone, Jiang Lang walked straight towards the Imperial Garden. The road was full of fully armed soldiers. The guard was very strict. The people who had never been to the palace looked at these soldiers. When they sighed, they were all frightened and did not even dare to look around. No one was sure that if there was a case or something, they would be chopped off. After all, this was the palace, not their own back garden.

At that time, Murong Yan was not afraid at all. He followed Jiang Lang and was talking and laughing, asking questions from time to time. Jiang Langfan answered everything he knew. But Murong Fu seemed a little scared after following him. He didn't wink at all. However, Murong Yan ignored him at all, which made him anxious. He originally wanted to scold him, but Jiang Lang was beside him, so he didn't even dare to say loudly.

As for the businessmen behind them, they were envious. Although they didn't know if the young man in front of them was the famous young general in the world, they could come and go freely in the palace. These eunuchs respected him very much. From one aspect, they also saw that their status was not low. It was undoubtedly a good choice to be able to have a good relationship with such a person, but they were troubled by not knowing each other, so they could only envy him.

Jiang Lang chose today because it happened to be fifteen today. There was no cloud in the sky. The bright moonlight cast down. The entire palace seemed to be shrouded in white gauze, which added a sense of mystery to the palace.

The road leading to the Imperial Garden is full of lanterns. From a distance, it looks like a long red snake.

It took a lot of time to fall from the gate to the Imperial Garden. After walking for a long time, the group finally arrived at the Imperial Garden. The Imperial Garden is now full of lanterns. Although it is not as good as the daytime, it is enough to see anything inside.

In the wide area of ​​the Imperial Garden, four rows of seats have been arranged in a row, and each table and chair is also named, so that everyone can sit in their own position step by step. At the same time, on the pavilion next to it, a pair of musicians are playing there, and the pleasant sound of silk and bamboo floats throughout the Imperial Garden.

As soon as everyone entered, the eunuch shouted: "My men, please find the place with your names written on it and sit down, and wait for the emperor's personal visit."

The merchants honestly found their place and started to do it one after another. Because it was the palace, no one dared to act rashly, so they all seemed polite.

Jiang Lang took Murong and his daughter to go straight forward, and came to the closest position above. He found the position with Murong Fu written on the table in a chapter and sat down, and said, "Your location is here. There are the positions of some ministers in the court above, and the upper part is the emperor's."

Murong Fu couldn't help but feel very grateful. Looking at this location, it was obviously the closest position to the above, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Lord Wang!"

Jiang Lang waved his hand indifferently and said, "You're welcome. I also received your care when I was in Yangzhou. This is just a slight effort!"

"Brother Wang, where are you?"

Murong Yan asked hurriedly.

"Yan'er!"

Murong Fu's face suddenly became dark and said, "This Lord Wang is an important official in the court, and his status is extraordinary. His daughter seems to have no idea about this. She always talks all night. If she annoyed this person, her family would be in trouble.

Jiang Lang smiled slightly, ignored Murong Fu at all, but pointed to the position next to them and said, "This is my position. I will sit next to you later."

Although Jiang Lang has a good status, his official title is not high. And this kind of banquet is arranged according to the level of the official title, so his position is not at the top.

Murong Yan felt happy and smiled and said, "That's fine!"

"Mr. Wang, is this the Murong family in Yangzhou you often talk about?"

Yu Qian's voice came at this time.

Jiang Lang turned his head and saw that it was indeed Yu Qian. Now he was slowly walking down, and then he said, "This is the head of the Murong family, Murong Fu, this is his beloved daughter Murong Yan."

"Murong Yan?"

Yu Qian muttered softly, looked up, and then smiled and said, "I understand, this should be the one Xie Xiucai likes. Sure enough, Shui Ling, everyone said that this beautiful girl from Jiangnan is really good. No wonder others introduced him to girls, and they were all ladies from a wealthy family. He didn't agree. I only realized now that there was such a person who likes, which was good, not bad! That boy was lucky."

After hearing what he said, Murong Yan showed a shy look on his face. Yu Qian was a master of the dynasty, and how many people in the world don’t know? He praised his beloved and himself in front of him. Murong Yan felt very happy in his heart, and quickly blessed and said, “Minister Murong Yan met with Lord Yu!”

Murong Fu, who was next to him, was also very happy. He originally thought that Xie Xiucai was just a scholar, without any background, no fame, and no family background. He would definitely not agree to marry his daughter, but he didn't expect that he would get praise from the two adults of the dynasty, which was more effective than any fame. Moreover, both adults said so, but he still didn't marry a daughter, so he was undoubtedly asking for trouble. So he hurriedly said: "Thank you for your praise. Caomin has already decided to choose a good time to get them married, and he has fulfilled my thoughts."

"Dad!"

Murong Yan couldn't help but say shyly, her face was filled with red glow, and when the light shone, she looked extremely beautiful.

"Miss Murong is shy!"

Yu Qian laughed, and Jiang Lang laughed. Murong Yan's face suddenly turned red and was about to be low, but this was the palace, and there was no other party to hide, so he could only hold on.

"The Emperor is here!"

A eunuch shouted loudly, and immediately relieved Murong Yan of the siege.

When Jiang Lang and others heard this, they stood up and faced the top. Emperor Jingtai, wearing a dragon robe, had already appeared in front with other ministers. In front of him were several eunuchs carrying lanterns, and behind them were a group of ministers.

At this time, other merchants also stood up together.

"I (caomin) see the emperor, long live my emperor!"

Some sounds of uneven branches sounded, and then everyone, including Yu Qian and Jiang Lang, knelt on the ground.

"Flat!"

Emperor Jingtai, who walked to his position, raised his hands slightly and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The sound was much more neat, and then everyone stood up together, but no one dared to move.

Emperor Jingtai smiled slightly and said loudly: "Everyone comes from afar, don't be polite, just sit down!"

Thanks sounded again, and then everyone returned to their positions. Jiang Lang also sat in the upper position of Murong’s father and daughter. Because Murong Yan wanted to talk to Jiang Lang, she was supposed to be in the lower position of Murong Fu, but she sat in the upper position of Murong Fu and leaned against Jiang Lang only. Although it was a bit of a distraction, Murong Fu now also hoped that Murong Yan could establish a good relationship with this important minister of the court, so that she would have more guarantees in the future.

"The Emperor is really young."

Murong Yan whispered.

Jiang Lang smiled slightly and said, "Do you think the emperor is so old? Now he is not a few years older than me."

Murong Yan nodded.

At this time, the top Emperor Jingtai had already sat in his position, looked at the crowd in front of him, and then said, "Everyone came from afar, and it was a blessing. So tonight, I will hold another banquet to welcome you again. Everyone doesn't have to be polite, just think it's your own home!"

After saying that, he whispered to Eunuch Qian next to him, and Eunuch Qian immediately said aloud: "The emperor has an order to pass on the food!"

As soon as these words came, the sound of silk and bamboo that had already stopped sounded again. Then many palace maids and eunuchs walked up one after another, holding some trays in their hands, with some wine and dishes on them. Then, an exception was a team of palace maids who came over and stood by each table, responsible for receiving the handed dishes and pouring wine.

No one of the merchants present had ever experienced this way of eating. However, now it is the palace, and different from their own homes or taverns, they all dared not leave and sat honestly.

So only the sound of palace maids and eunuchs walking and the sound of silk and bamboo can be heard in the entire imperial garden.

After a while, the dish was finished, and Jingtaidi also stood up with his glass.

The people below quickly stood up.

Raising his wine glass, Jingtaidi said loudly: "Everyone comes from afar. I wish you all this wine. Thank you for your arrival."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone said in unison, and then drank the wine in the glass.
