The two maidservants laughed out loud. "This emperor and esteemed empress are really in love with each other, making us all feel very envious."
Envy, do you want me to marry you?"
When the two maidservants heard about the betrothal ceremony, they hurriedly shook their heads and didn't dare to speak anymore.
Everyone laughed.
At the banquet. Everyone was already sitting there. The empress dowager sat in the middle. The Emperor and Queen sat on the left, while on the right two seats remained.
The people below were all dukes. Royal family. At the bottom of the row were the officials. All on the right were family members.
It was a tremendous scene.
Ouyang Lengxie almost never attended banquets, but today, his men had come to report that they had seen Xuanyuan Yu. Today, in the palace, they had truly seen her. Although she hadn't admitted it, how could he not recognize her?
Ouyang Lengxie was the youngest and most handsome prince of Heavenly Stellar Kingdom. He was now a duke and unmarried. Almost all the girls wanted to be his wife, so they were all in a frenzy. Ouyang Lengxie didn't pay any attention to him. In his eyes, there was only one person he could put up with.
"Snow Country's emperor, the empress has arrived!"
Everyone stood up, even the empress dowager stood up to welcome the empress and emperor of the Snowy Kingdom. Two people walked in under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
The Empress Dowager laughed and said, "It is truly Tian Chen's fortune for the Emperor and Empress to be able to visit our Heavenly Stellar Kingdom in person today. "I am very happy."
Yu Haiwei laughed, "We are very happy to be able to come to Heavenly Stellar Kingdom. I hope that the two countries can become more friendly and increase the chance for cooperation."
Ouyang Shaojie looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "Of course, please take a seat."
After Yu Haiwei and Murong Yu'er sat down, the singing and dancing started.
The people below were all stunned when they saw Murong Yu'er. Although they had heard that the empress of the Snowy Kingdom was very similar to Xuanyuan Yu, now that they had personally witnessed it, they felt that it wasn't just that.
Everyone was smiling, and everything seemed so friendly. Every time she saw this situation, the gentler the smile on Murong Yu'er's face, the more beautiful she would be. Because this was a battlefield. One wrong step would result in every wrong step. In the end, one's body would be smashed into smithereens, so even half a step wouldn't be bad.
"Today, the emperor and prefecture lord Leng identified me as a single person. Who is this person?"
Hearing this, the entire stadium turned cold.
"He's just an acquaintance, the empress doesn't have to worry about him." The empress dowager smiled as she spoke.
Murong Yu'er smiled and said, "Where is that person now?"
The empress dowager's expression changed instantly. "Although we respect the empress very much, this is a family matter for our Heavenly Stellar Kingdom. "Then I won't trouble the empress."
Murong Yu'er smiled and said, "I shouldn't have been too concerned about the matters of other countries, but today, seeing that there's still Duke Leng who lost his composure, I decided to ask you this question. I hope the empress dowager isn't too preoccupied with this matter. "
The empress dowager shot a fierce glance at Ouyang Shaojie and then down at Ouyang Lengxie. Her heart was suddenly filled with anger and she held it against her chest, not knowing how to reply.
Ouyang Shaojie accepted it. "She's our friend, a very good friend."
"Oh, so it's a 'friend'." Murong Yu'er purposefully added the word friend. Only then did he smile and said, "I have too many things to do."
Yu Haiwei, who was at the side, laughed, "You were just curious about the way the emperor and Duke Leng acted."
Murong Yu'er's smile became even sweeter. This sweet smile deeply pierced Ouyang Shaojie and Ouyang Lengxie's eyes.
Ouyang Lengxie could no longer hold himself back and stood up. He raised his glass. "This prince wishes to toast the empress. Just now, the empress asked, who was that woman?" This king can tell the empress that she is the love of my life. Second question, where is she now? "I can say, she is doing very well right now."
"Xie'er, you're drunk! Men, send him back to his residence!" The empress dowager suddenly stood up in anger.
Ouyang Leng Xie sneered at them. Heh, heh. Very soon, a guard arrived, preparing to take him down.
Murong Yu'er stood up. "The duke only said a few heartfelt words. Why would the empress dowager be angry?"
The Empress Dowager also stood up and smiled, "You just came to Heavenly Stellar Kingdom, you don't know. Amongst all the dukes, only Duke Leng was the one with the most perverted behaviour. Normally, it would have been fine, but today, in front of so many people, what he had done was too much. He still hadn't brought him down. The last few words were almost mouthed.
Murong Yu'er laughed coldly as she said, "Today, the Japanese palace came here because I didn't want anything to happen. I didn't want to miss out on Prefecture Overseer Leng on my first day here. Furthermore, Duke Leng did not say anything wrong. If someone else hears about this, wouldn't that mean that I have to make use of this opportunity? "
The Empress Dowager felt like slapping her for being lectured by a junior, but she couldn't do it now. There was a huge disparity between Heavenly Stellar Kingdom and Snow Country. If they were to offend a powerful country for free, they might not be able to do so in the future. However, she was still the empress dowager of a country. That wasn't all. Just based on her age alone, she wouldn't be able to get away with it even if she was lectured like this. For a moment, he could only sulk, but he didn't know how.
Ouyang Shaojie said, "All of you leave. The empress dowager was afraid that Duke Leng would offend the empress and emperor of Snow Country, so she didn't have any other intentions. Since the empress doesn't mind, it's naturally alright. This goblet of wine is for us to toast you!" As he spoke, he took the wine from the empress beside him and gulped it down.
After looking at it for a while, Murong Yu suddenly smiled. So this was his real face? Murong Yu'er had always felt that he was very outstanding, but now it seemed that she knew too little about him. She took the wine from her side, "Since Your Majesty has already said so, then if I were to make a fuss about it, doesn't that mean I don't know what's important? The two countries still have many opportunities to work together in the future? May our friendship last forever. " With that, he finished the entire cup.
The audience burst into applause.
Murong Yu'er returned to her seat and finished her singing and dancing. Afterwards, she started to sing a song. Ouyang Lengxie also sat down, drinking one cup after another. Several princes sat there obediently. It seemed that this Ouyang Shaojie had some ability. He had unexpectedly managed to subdue these princes so thoroughly. Perhaps she didn't know much about others, but she knew too much about Ouyang Lengxie. He was a wild and untamed person, yet he was also so obedient. It seemed like he had truly put in a lot of effort. This empress dowager wasn't that good either, but standing on top of their heads, she really felt like she was looking down on them. She really wanted to pinch them to death, but she wouldn't let them die so easily.
Murong Yu'er's eyes were on the opera as she was thinking about her own matters. She ignored Ouyang Shaojie, who was looking at her, and the empress beside her was also smiling as she looked at her husband, who was looking at another woman. None of this escaped Yu Haiwei's expression as he lightly embraced Murong Yu'er's shoulders. Ye Zichen patted it.
Murong Yu'er lightly smiled at him. This scene was the rumored truth — the Emperor and Queen of Snowy Kingdom had a very good relationship. It was just that the two men's hearts were aching.
Ouyang Shaojie smiled bitterly. The song ended. Ouyang Shaojie then said once again, "I know that you two have arrived today. The empress dowager's sixtieth birthday was in five days. At that time we will be celebrating well, I hope the two of you will have a pleasant journey to Heavenly Stellar Kingdom. "
Yu Haiwei laughed, "Thank you for your concern. Today, the queen will definitely have to put in a lot of effort." "We should have left after the banquet, but Zhen wants to go back and rest with the empress first, I hope you don't mind."
Ouyang Shaojie said with a smile, "Of course. It was our party that was a bit rushed. "I hope the empress doesn't get tired." As she spoke, she looked deeply at Murong Yu'er.
Yu Haiwei intimately hugged Murong Yu'er. He chuckled. "Many thanks to the emperor for his concern. I'll be leaving first with the empress."
"Okay." At one point, everyone stood up.
Under everyone's gazes, Yu Haiwei and Murong Yu'er walked out. When they passed by Ouyang Lengxie, she did not move even after seeing such a sorrowful look in his eyes. She walked out with a smile on her face.
Ouyang Lengxie bitterly smiled. What more could he expect? She was doing very well, wasn't she? She was already very happy. Shouldn't he bless her? Why do you still put on such a pitiful face? To make her feel sorry for him? To make her fall in love with him? To be his consort in the end? In a single attempt to make her live in pain.
All sorts of thoughts and speculations flashed through his mind, but in the end, he still smiled and opened his eyes. Right now, he was very good, very good, very happy, and he did not want her to see and sympathize with him in such a pitiful way. His world had long been isolated from hers, and he did not have the qualifications to enter it.
"Empress Dowager. Royal brother. "This official has also taken his leave."
The empress dowager looked at him impatiently. "You may leave. "Have a good rest. Since you're not in a good condition, stay in the mansion and rest well. In the future, you don't need to force yourself to come to such a banquet when you're not in a good condition."
When these words came out, those who had been hoping that they could marry into Duke Leng's mansion hurriedly covered their faces and hid away, hoping that Duke Leng hadn't taken a fancy to them just now. Although they felt that Duke Leng was inferior to the emperor, they didn't think that the empress dowager would dislike him so much. It could be seen that there wouldn't be a way out in the future.
