The next day, Ji Wuhen and Yao Xinyu went to the palace to thank them. Emperor Hui seemed very satisfied with the marriage, and specially held a banquet in the palace, leaving the two of them to have lunch in the palace.

This is not a rare event, but Emperor Hui was unpredictable, and he sent an oral order to summon King Ning and his wife into the palace, saying that they were talking together.

In the Qiongqing Pavilion, the woman stood under a well-trimmed crabapple, picked off a slightly withered petal, and inserted the flower branch into a vase.

The woman is beautiful, almost forty years old, but she has never seen the traces of the passage of time. She is wearing a light purple woven gold pleated skirt. The dark pattern shining in the sun extends from the hem of the skirt to the cuffs. The placket is embroidered with begonia flowers in silver silk thread, which looks full of luxury.

This is Ji Wuhen's biological mother, Concubine Wan.

Opposite her, Ji Wuhen and Yao Xinyu were sitting at the table, carefully selecting small flowers that matched this crabapple for her.

The palace people watched this scene quietly, and couldn't help feeling envious in their hearts. Concubine Wan is really lucky.

His Majesty the Third Highness was favored by His Majesty, married the prime minister's beloved daughter, and even the identity of the Concubine Wan has also risen.

The prime minister is very powerful, one person is under ten thousand people, and he will definitely support the third highness to sit on the position of prince in the future.

The Fifth Highness, the Fifth Highness is naturally powerful, but it's a pity that there is no second prime minister in the capital.

When the flowers in the vase were done properly, Concubine Wan said: "Prince Xiao Ning and Lu Xiyue should be here by this time."

Ji Wuhen and Yao Xinyu looked at each other, and immediately said: "This hour should have arrived."

It's almost noon, and I'm going to eat at Emperor Hui's soon.

"Let's go, it's time for us to go too." Concubine Wan waved her plain hand and asked the palace servants to put the vase into the hall.

The banquet was held in Tianlu Hall, when the three arrived, Emperor Hui and the Empress were talking to Xiao Yunheng.

Lu Xiyue couldn't get her mouth shut, so she took herring by the side and silently brought a bowl of grapes.

After all, it is the imperial palace, grapes are not a thing of this season, and it will take at least another month before they can be sold outside.

There were two tables in the banquet, apart from these people, there were Concubine Su Gui and her son Seventh Prince, as well as Fifth Prince, Princess Fuhuan from the Empress, and Princess Fuchun who was raised by the Empress Dowager.

Although Lu Xiyue was isolated from the crowd, she could feel the eyes of those princes and princesses glancing at her from time to time.

"Is this Princess Ning? I don't look the same as the rumors, she looks quite elegant."

Princess Fuchun pulled her and softly "hush", "Slow down, don't let people hear you, but I heard from the emperor's grandmother that this Lu Xiyue is the most rude of Meng Lang, and she also took a fancy to King Ning back then. It is only because of her face that she accepts this marriage."

"Of course I know this, but seeing is believing."

Princess Fuchun glared at her, as if she hated iron but steel: "You should take care of yourself. Also, don't say that a princess is not a princess in front of the emperor. Whether she can become Princess Ning is still unknown."

The two were "conspiring in low voices", but their voices were really not low, Lu Xiyue was only less than five steps away from them, and she heard their conversation clearly.

Fortunately, she should not have offended these few.

Xiao Yunheng responded to Emperor Hui with a few words, and while Emperor Hui Xun Ji Yunyan was speaking, he went straight to Lu Xiyue.

Seeing this, Fu Chun and Fu Huan immediately looked away, and sat upright in their seats, pretending to be okay.

Now everyone in the palace doesn't know that King Ning is highly regarded by his father, and they are still cousins, and they have been in contact with each other in the past.

Xiao Yunheng's temperament is really not very pleasing, he is cold to people all day long, and it is rare to have a warm eye.

"Is it delicious?" Seeing her pinching the dark purple grape with a faint expression, Xiao Yunheng said casually.

"It's okay, come on, you have a taste too." She picked up one and threw it into his mouth.

The man tasted the taste, half-closed his eyes, the grapes fed by her seemed to be sweeter than other grapes.

"That's right. If you like it, I'll show off to His Majesty later and bring some back."

He leaned over to the girl, took the initiative to pick grapes, and brought them to her mouth.

"I will do it myself."

Before Lu Xiyue forgot where it was, she hurriedly took the grapes in his hand, and looked around vigilantly.

Fu Huan and Fu Chun were staring at this side with wide-eyed eyes.

With an expression of no reason, she tugged on his sleeve and said, "There is someone, be careful."

Xiao Yunheng didn't take it seriously: "What are you afraid of, you are my princess, I just want them to know that you are the most important thing in my heart."

He also had to let Emperor Hui watch over him, so that he could dispel the unrealistic idea of ​​asking him to divorce his wife and remarry as soon as possible.

As the two were talking, the eyeballs of Fu Huan and Fu Chun were about to fall out.

Is the man in front of me smiling and talking to the woman with a happy face really their cousin? Could it be that he was taken away?

Emperor Hui also noticed the movement here, and frowned.

He hinted several times, and even threw out King Ning's former military power as a temptation to lead him to break off this relationship with Lu Xiyue, but his nephew refused without thinking.

With a body of seven feet, it is really worthless to bend down to this point for a woman!

Sensing the change in the emperor's complexion, several people around the front followed his gaze.

On the small table by the window, a handsome and gentle man is pinching grapes and sending them to the woman's mouth with a smile. In those dark and deep eyes, there is endless love for the woman.

Even just looking at it makes people envious.

Lu Xiyue naturally sensed the gazes of this group of people, and quickly bit into the grapes.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, with different expressions.

"The relationship between King Ning and Miss Lu is really good." The queen suddenly spoke, breaking the short silence.

The phrase "Miss Lu" made everyone secretly laugh.

No matter how good the relationship is, if His Majesty doesn't speak, Lu Xiyue will never be able to sit in the position of Princess Ning.

What's the use of Xiao Yunheng's liking, if it is not recognized, it will be a dishonorable name and a bad word.

Emperor Hui's complexion improved a lot, and he waved to Xiao Yunheng, signaling him to sit at this table.

Ji Wuhen's face changed slightly.

This banquet was only set up for their newlyweds. It was only natural for their husband and wife to sit at the same table with their father. As they were both princes, they naturally wanted to be together.

Why did Xiao Yunheng, why did his father attach so much importance to him?

However, after receiving Emperor Hui's words, Xiao Yunheng took Lu Xiyue's hand and led her over.

"Trouble shouting."

In a word, he squeezed the Seventh Prince who was about to sit down.

Seventh Prince: "..."

Emperor Hui and the crowd: "..."

Xiao Yunheng immediately acted like a good boy: "Nephew, I would like to thank Uncle Huang for hosting a banquet."

So what if His Majesty doesn't like Lu Xiyue, as long as he likes it, treat the person he likes like a jewel.
