After they sat and chatted for a while, they saw that the people who were admiring the flowers in the imperial garden were leaving one after another.

Li Xin'er said: "Emperor's sister-in-law, Mrs. Wei, the palace banquet is about to begin, let's go there too!"

"Let's go!" Several people stood up.

The banquet was held in Baolin Palace. The banquet was already full of people. Men and women did not sit separately. A family could only bring four people at most, and they could sit together. The small table was covered with various fruits and Exquisite dim sum.

Because the emperor has not arrived yet, the officials and ladies are still talking and making some noise.

Under the guidance of the palace maid, Cheng Qingqing and her mother sat down in their own seats, and Li Xin'er also went to her own seats and sat with some princesses.

Cheng Qingqing glanced around the hall and saw that Li Beimo hadn't come yet. But he saw Shangguan Bai, who was sitting there alone with his head downcast, half of his ears bandaged with white cloth, which was very conspicuous.

As soon as they sat down, they heard a high-pitched shout coming in, "The Emperor has arrived! The Queen has arrived! Prince Qi has arrived! Prince Jing'an has arrived!"

The discussion in the hall immediately stopped, and everyone knelt down to worship.

The emperor and empress walked in slowly, followed by Li Beimo, Li Jinchuan, and some concubines from the harem.

"Long live my emperor! Long live the Queen! Thousands of years live the Queen!"

The emperor and the empress walked up to the high position, looked down at the people in the hall with their majestic dragon eyes, and said:

"Free gift!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone stood up and sat down again.

Li Beimo's position was arranged in the first seat on the lower left side of the emperor. This was originally the seat of the crown prince, but Li Beimo was no longer the prince, and according to the rules, he could no longer sit in this position.

The fire of jealousy in Li Jinchuan's heart was suddenly ignited, and he hated his father for being partial. He was the eldest son of the emperor, and that position should be his.

After Li Beimo entered Baoming Hall, his eyes kept falling on Cheng Qingqing, as if she was the only one in the hall.

Perhaps because his gaze was too obvious, many people followed his gaze and were immediately stunned by the beautiful faces of Cheng Ying and her daughter.

Because of recent events, Cheng Ying and her daughter have become legends in the capital, and people in the streets are all talking about them.

For a moment, countless eyes in the hall looked over, focusing on Cheng Ying and Cheng Qingqing, taking away the light that originally belonged to Queen Lin.

Queen Lin naturally noticed Cheng Ying and Cheng Qingqing, their expressions were slightly stiff, and their nails were deeply embedded in the flesh of their palms.

Cheng Ying, a bitch, must have confused the emperor with her charming face, so that Emperor Jiahe made her his wife.

But maintaining his identity, the emperor sat beside him again, not showing any discomfort no matter how uncomfortable he felt.

"Hey! Let me tell you! Mrs. Wei is a hundred times more beautiful than that princess. Are Shangguan Bai's eyes blurred by shit? She divorced such a beautiful first wife?"

"I can only say that he is very lucky! He married the richest girl and was the most beautiful girl in high school. Even the noble princess was willing to marry him as his concubine."

"After all, I still dislike Cheng Ying's status, but now I'm fine! I was also granted the title of Madam of Wei by the Holy Emperor. Her status is more noble than that of a princess, and her family is extremely wealthy. The lintel of the Cheng family is better than that of the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. It’s still high, I’ve really picked up the sesame seeds and lost the watermelon, the gain outweighs the loss!”

"Isn't that right? This is what evil people get. Because of the substitute marriage, I was fined three years by the emperor, and now I am suspended from office. I really deserve it!"

Whispering sounds resounded in the hall, which made Shangguan Bai and King Zhennan blush, but they did not dare to explode because of the emperor's presence.

King Zhennan had a long face and remembered what Li Beimo said to him.

Emperor Jiahe also heard these gossips, but he would not care about them. As long as he saw these two people unhappy, he would feel happy.

"The envoys of the great rejuvenation of the country have arrived!" the Supervisor of Ceremonies sang outside the hall.

Everyone turned to look outside the hall door.

Soon, four people appeared at the entrance of the hall.

Cheng Qingqing just heard from Li Xin'er that a total of four envoys came from the Daxing Kingdom. The five kings at that time, King Rong and Princess Zhenyue, looked very similar and should have been born from the same mother and concubine.

Also accompanying him were the prime minister of Daxing and a military envoy.

She couldn't help but look at Li Beimo. What exactly did Daxingguo want to do by sending such a few heavyweights here?

Li Beimo's eyes never left her, and he looked over when he saw her, raising his lips and smiling.

"I've met Emperor Fengjin!"

The four envoys bowed slightly and saluted Emperor Jiahe, but their attitude was arrogant.

Emperor Jiahe stood up, raised his hand and said, "No courtesy! Please take a seat."

Rong Wang Bailiting and Princess Zhenyue glanced at Li Beimo, then walked to the lower right seat of the emperor and sat down.

Emperor Jiahe raised the wine bottle and said, "My envoys have traveled all the way to the capital of Fengjin. I have specially organized this banquet to welcome you and wash away your dust. Envoys, please be sure to return home happily!"

"Thank you for your hospitality, Your Majesty!" The envoys also raised their wine bottles.

After drinking the glass of wine, the eunuch and eunuch in charge of rituals shouted again: "Let's sing and dance!"

The sound of pipe music sounded, and the singers and dancers filed in.

The dancers had long sleeves and fluttering skirts, and their figures were graceful and enchanting, but few of the ministers were interested in enjoying the singing and dancing. They were all secretly speculating on the true purpose of the Daxing envoy's arrival.

At the end of the song, all the dancers retreated, and the hall became temporarily quiet.

Bai Liting said: "Emperor Fengjin, this king is here to convey the emperor's will."

As soon as these words came out, almost everyone in the hall looked bad.

To convey Emperor Daxing’s will? That means treating their Fengjin Kingdom as a vassal state of Daxing Kingdom!

Emperor Jiahe's eyebrows turned cold, but due to his strength, he suppressed his displeasure.

Prime Minister Fan looked at the emperor, stood up helplessly and asked, "I wonder what Emperor Daxing's will is?"

Bai Liting glanced at Li Beimo and said, "First of all, I heard that the former prince of Fengjin Kingdom was deposed because of physical problems. His father said that the prince is the foundation of the country and should not be kept in vain. He felt that King Qi was very talented and virtuous, so he was worthy of being deposed. Due to the important task, I hereby order Fengjin State to immediately make Qi King Li Jinchuan the crown prince."

Hearing this, Li Jinchuan was immediately pleasantly surprised, his heart was beating with excitement, and his hand holding the wine bottle trembled.

But I was afraid that my reaction would be too obvious, so I tried my best to suppress my emotions.

King Qi's party members were as happy as him. It seemed that King Qi really deserved his destiny as a Heavenly Dragon. They were on the right team, and their career was not far away.

Emperor Jiahe and the neutral officials looked gloomy.

When Fengjin State and Beixin were fighting to the death, Daxing State did not stand up and say something fair, but now it came to interfere in their matter of establishing a heir apparent.

Cheng Qingqing laughed playfully. As expected, the Lin family's biggest supporter was Daxingguo.

Seeing the uncontrollable excitement on Li Jinchuan's face, he sneered in his heart. Such a mentally retarded and incompetent person was indeed suitable to be the puppet of the Lin family. If this person really became the emperor, sooner or later the country of Fengjin would be in the hands of the Lin family. The thing in.

I just don’t know what deal the Lin family made with Emperor Daxing to allow Daxing to do this for them?
