Chapter 158 Celebration Banquet (2)
After the prince's seat, there were Marquis Bai, Bai Ling and Bai Jue.
Logically speaking, the foreign relatives could not sit so close to the prince. This shows how much the emperor attaches great importance to the Bai family in his heart. Even some respected old ministers are behind the Bai family.
The chief of the right case was naturally left to Gu Wanqing, the protagonist of today's celebration banquet.
The second is the King Yunfan, Queen and Prince invited by the emperor to accompany him.
The eldest princess Rong Ruiji said she was unhappy and did not come.
Before the main seat began, everyone sat on their seats one by one.
In addition to the highlight today, Gu Wanqing won the first time he was named General Wanqing, there is also Bai Jue, who never shows up at the banquet.
Although Bai Jue has never deliberately hidden his appearance, he is also the number one mysterious figure in Yan'an City.
Especially many famous ladies, I have only heard of Bai Ling, the eldest son of the Bai family, as gentle as jade and elegant as a person. He is the most ideal groom candidate in the hearts of many people.
When I saw Bai Jue quietly lowered his eyes and sat on the edge of the desk. Yuebai covered her knees with wide sleeves, not smiling, and her aura was three points stronger than the emperor sitting in the main position.
The transparent eyes were reflected by the candlelight on Yunhua Platform, which was even more profound, as if he looked down on the world and looked down on everything.
Bai Ling and Bai Jue have similar faces, but their temperaments are definitely different.
The girls and mothers thought that Bai Ling was the best choice, but Bai Ling and Bai Jue were sitting together, and Bai Jue must be the one who couldn't take off his eyes.
Unexpectedly, the rumored second master Bai, who is ruthless, not only has the handsome appearance of his brother, but also has an inherent sense of oppression like Mr. Bai.
Originally, many officials and relatives did not see the ceremony of the Heaven Sacrifice, and did not believe it even if they heard of it.
But today, the moment I saw him, everyone knew that Bai Jue's official appearance at this banquet would definitely be a major topic in Yan'an City tomorrow.
The officials saw Bai Jue’s appearance. But the heads of the family muttered in their hearts - Bai Jue’s frequent appearances recently, which is completely different from when he first returned to Yan’an City. The emperor attached importance to him. Is he going to return to the center of people’s vision and interfere in the government?
In short, everyone was very imaginative when they saw Bai Jue.
Gu Wanqing rushed to Yunhuatai at the right time at the auspicious time.
Six palace maids were leading the way with colorful cloud lanterns. The palace maids were wearing green garlands and gauze skirts. Among them, Gu Wanqing was wearing a soft purple gauze robe. The purple jade belt was very compatible with the purple silk skirt. Two teams of silver-heeled pearls on their hair buns.
From a distance, the fairy spirit is so strong that it is like a god descending to earth in the sky, which is simply magnificent.
This purple dress seems simple, not even an embroidery piece. But it is valuable.
This is the relic of Gu Wanqing's mother, and it was also the precious piece of cloth taken out of her dowry by the Queen and given to General Zhenbei's wife.
Under the intersection of moonlight and candlelight, purple clothes are full of pearlescent light.
Gu Wanqing was frightened by today's huge battle, and she never expected it to be so grand.
Her late arrival and such a high-profile appearance, everyone's eyes gathered. For a moment, she felt like a big star walking on the red carpet.
Those who have met Gu Wanqing feel that today is very different from usual.
Those who have never seen it were also immersed in her stunning face, and hollowed out every beauty she had seen in her mind, and it was impossible for her to have a better appearance than her. Not to mention her special temperament.
Even the third prince, who had always hated Gu Wanqing in the seat, couldn't help but sigh in his heart. No matter how annoying this woman hates her, she looks really stunning. It would be great if the woman in his harem was half as beautiful as Gu Wanqing.
Rong He crossed the second and third princes and said to Bai Ling: "General Wanqing is really very beautiful recently."
"I have never seen her dress like this before." Bai Ling said.
Looking back on the last stunning time, I still appeared in Jin'an Palace in red.
Now purple is graceful, dignified and elegant, and it is not bad.
Bai Jue looked at him without looking sideways, and said slowly to the side, "Thank you."
Rong He and Bai Ling looked at him squintly, "It's not praising you."
Bai Jue smiled, "Same."
The third prince Rong Sheng listened to the conversation between the three of them, thoughtful and looked at Gu Wanqing again. He didn't expect that she would not see her for a few years. He thought she would be shining on the battlefield, but he didn't want her appearance to be better than in previous years.
Gu Wanqing knelt down and saluted, "I am late, please ask the emperor to sue him."
The emperor smiled and said, "You have just returned to Yan'an City. I am anxious to hold a celebration banquet tonight. I should have given you a good rest. How could I cure you for your sins? I feel very pleased to have this contribution. Take your seat first."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Gu Wanqing was led to the seat by the eunuch. She lifted her skirt and sat down lightly. She raised her eyes and saw Bai Jue sitting opposite the seat.
The two of them met, and then they looked at each other tacitly and smiled.
It was precisely because of this smile that Bai Jue felt much more at ease that he did not regret coming to this trip tonight.
Just now, more than just others couldn't take their eyes off, Bai Jue's eyes kept guarding Gu Wanqing from beginning to end.
Seeing that she was not exhausted from the battlefield, but was refreshed, she felt relieved.
I don't know when, he began to become so nervous about her.
With Gu Wanqing's seat, the banquet officially began.
The usual process is that the emperor will first ask how Gu Wanqing fought bravely on the battlefield.
Of course, because there are outsiders present, I will just talk a little bit, and the focus is on what benefits Nan Yan has gained from this victory and how to strengthen himself.
All of these are also said to Yunfan Kingdom.
Gu Wanqing also participated in such a scene before, but the protagonist became herself and was a little uncomfortable.
Everyone toasted each other, performed singing and dancing slowly, and sang and ate, and the atmosphere of the whole banquet was wonderful.
During the meal, the Queen of Yunfan praised sincerely: "I have heard that Nan Yan has a brave and resourceful female general. I didn't expect that she was such a beautiful woman. She could not see the murderous aura of a military general, but she was heroic and stingy, which was different from the stingy woman in the boudoir."
The eunuch beside the emperor responded to the emperor's wink and said, "On the day General Wanqing was born, there was a strange phenomenon in the sky. Everyone said that he was reincarnated by the gods and was also a hero in the hearts of the people."
"That's such a rare talent!" King Yunfan praised.
