The visitor was wearing a colorful robe, and his headdress was inlaid with red and blue sapphires of the same color as his robe. Even though it was getting dark, it still sparkled under the dim light outside.
Just by looking at his attire, you can tell that the visitor is from a wealthy family.
This is also true.
Hanzhe opened the window from upstairs and looked at the approaching person, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
In another small building next door, Su Lie had already shouted enthusiastically, "An Lu, you're here!"
The man in colorful robes called "Anlu" was about the same age as Su Lie, with a face full of vigor. When he heard Su Lie's voice, he looked up and waved at him. Then he waved at Hanzhe who was leaning out of the window on the other side, "Brother Hanzhe."
Hanzhe bowed respectfully and called out, "Young Prince."
This little prince is not that little prince.
The person in front of him was not Sangge from Prince Shahe's Mansion in Mosan Kingdom, who had no chance of inheriting the throne but was only politely addressed as "Little Prince".
But he is a genuine prince.
Among the northwestern countries, in the royal family of Qimeng, the most powerful country, he is the only prince who has the same mother as the king!
"Prince Anlu." The servants in front of the building all bent down and saluted respectfully.
"Alright, alright." An Lu waved his hand. "It's not my first time here, why should I be so polite? Could it be that after not seeing you for a few months, you have become estranged from me?"
"No, you are still as humorous as before." Su Lie's personal attendant who was guarding downstairs stood up and said jokingly.
If we talk about seniority from the queen's side, Anlu is one generation older than Hanzhe and Su Lie.
However, the northwestern countries do not care much about seniority. Anlu and Su Lie were born in the same year and have played together since childhood. They are used to addressing each other by their own names.
"Young Prince." Hanzhe changed into dinner clothes and came down from upstairs.
Before An Lu could speak, there was a sound from the other side of the stairs. Su Lie came down and slapped An Lu on the shoulder. "You came at the right time. We are going on a long trip and brought you a gift. Just take it when you leave, so we don't have to find someone to deliver it to the palace tomorrow."
An Lu said "OK", then looked Su Lie up and down, then glanced at Han Zhe who was also dressed neatly beside him, and wondered, "You came back from far away, why are you still dressed so neatly at home?"
This is not like everyday home wear, it is obviously something that is worn on formal occasions.
"You guys are going out to dinner tonight?"
“No, no.” Su Lie waved his hand. “We brought guests back with us, and mother found out and specially arranged a welcoming banquet.”
"oh?"
An Lu loved the hustle and bustle the most, and he immediately became interested. "It's better to come at the right time than to come early. It just so happens that I haven't visited the Marquise for a long time. Do you mind setting up one more table for this welcoming banquet?"
"Of course. My Lord, please."
…
The waiters in the Marquis's Mansion were unlike those in Prince Shahe's Mansion. They were respectful and polite, and had just the right sense of propriety.
After learning that Wei Yunlan and the others did not need help, he consciously retreated outside the small building.
Soon, Wei Yunlan and others changed into clothes for the banquet.
Along the way, I traveled through several countries.
Wei Yunlan and the others also bought a lot of things, including some clothes for formal occasions.
After changing into a colorful red dress, and adorning herself with hair accessories, earrings and necklaces also inlaid with rubies, Wei Yunlan seemed to have been completely renewed.
Sui He's eyes widened, "Miss, you are so beautiful like this!"
Whether in the Jinyang Marquis Mansion in the past, or during the exile later, or after arriving in Beiguan City, Wei Yunlan had never dressed too brightly.
The clothing has always been mainly elegant solid colors.
This was the first time Suihe saw her young lady dressed like this.
Compared to those plain colors, this bright red color does not look tacky at all on Wei Yunlan. Instead, it makes her look bright and charming. Although her makeup has not changed much, she looks more lively than usual.
Zou Yun put on the headdress and came out to take a look. He was also dazzled and praised, "It looks good."
It’s a pity that their master is not here, otherwise he would be staring blankly at this moment.
The group changed into their clothes for the banquet and walked out of the small building.
The servants sent by the Marquise had been waiting outside for a long time. They made a gesture of invitation and led the way to the banquet hall in the mansion where the banquet was held.
Marquis Said is not in the capital these two days.
A petite black-haired woman was sitting in the main seat.
Wei Yunlan and others already knew her identity without any introduction.
Marquise of Said, Ji Xun, is the sister of Queen Ji Yun from the same mother.
I didn't expect that she had been waiting here for a long time. It seemed that her enthusiasm towards her fellow tribesmen with the same black hair and black eyes was not fake.
"Greetings, Marquise." Wei Yunlan and others called politely.
"No need to be so polite, please take a seat." Ji Xun smiled and pointed to the seat to her right.
The seats on the other side were empty, and soon footsteps were heard outside. It was Hanzhe, Su Lie and the other two who came over.
Ji Xun glanced at him with some reproach, "Why are you so slow? You're still asking the guests to wait."
When he saw An Lu following behind the two of them, he immediately put away his blame and said with a smile, "So it's the young prince who's here."
As he said this, he stood up and saluted.
An Lu quickly stepped aside and said, "Please sit down. Don't be so polite all the time."
"I came to your house without saying hello today. I apologize for disturbing you."
"Of course not." Ji Xun smiled and shook her head, "Just treat this place as your own home. Whenever the little prince wants to come, just come directly to our door."
Listening to the greetings between Ji Xun and Ann Lu.
Wei Yunlan and others couldn't help but cast their eyes on An Lu.
Obviously, this young man who looks about the same age as Su Lie has a very important status in the Qimeng Kingdom.
Even the Marchioness, who was the queen's sister, treated him with such care.
Thinking of this, Hanzhe, who was sitting below Anlu, began to introduce them to everyone.
First, he said to Wei Yunlan and others, "This is my mother, from the Ji family of Luosha country."
"This is Prince Anlu of Qimeng, the youngest brother of His Majesty the King."
He was actually the king's younger brother.
A flash of surprise passed through the eyes of Wei Yunlan and others.
If they remembered correctly, the King of Qimeng was nearly forty years old now, and the Prince Anlu in front of them looked like he was not even twenty yet, with an age difference of nearly twice as much.
Just as Wei Yunlan and others looked at An Lu, An Lu's gaze also swept towards them.
When his eyes passed over Wei Yunlan, he paused for a moment, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
When Zou Yun saw this, his heart skipped a beat.
It’s over, their master is not the only one with eyes in this world!
