"That's right. There is only one family, the Yan family, in the Duke of Dajing's Mansion." The visitor said again.
Gongsun Sheng smiled and asked, "Is anyone from the Yan family coming to the palace banquet today?"
"Yes, Old Duke Yan, the Duke and his wife, and several young masters of the Yan family are all in the main hall now."
"Very good, take me there."
"Yes, Your Highness."
When the master and servants arrived at the main hall, Gongsun Sheng spotted Yan De in the crowd and quickened his pace to approach him.
"Junior greets Grandpa Yan."
The old Duke was startled and looked at the tall young man in front of him: "Who are you?"
"My name is Gongsun Sheng."
"Have you grown up so much now? I was wondering why your features looked familiar." The old Duke laughed out loud, patted his shoulder, and quickly realized, "The marriage delegation coming to Dajing this time is from your Beiqi. Could it be that you are now..."
I heard that there are members of the Northern Qi royal family in the delegation here, including two princes and a princess.
Among these two princes of Northern Qi, one is the crown prince.
Gongsun Sheng nodded: "My young prince is not talented, but now he is the crown prince of Beiqi."
"You can't find a wife in your own country, so you come to my Dajing?" The old Duke laughed.
"That's true." Gongsun Sheng laughed.
The old Duke waved to Yan Honghou who was talking to other young people nearby.
"grandfather."
Yan Honghou walked quickly to his grandfather and saw Gongsun Sheng at a glance.
The two men gathered their internal strength in their hands and punched each other in tacit coordination.
With a bang.
Soon they all put their hands behind their backs.
One of them hurriedly swung his hands, and the other opened and clenched them again. It was obvious that they had achieved their goal of testing each other's skills.
Seeing this, the old Duke couldn't help but ask his eldest grandson, "Do you still recognize him?"
"The Northern Qi delegation has arrived, and seeing him again now naturally makes me remember him." Yan Honghou said with a smile, "A Sheng, how are you?"
Gongsun Sheng also smiled: "Everything is fine, except that I can't find the Crown Princess."
"So you came to Dajing?"
"Grandpa Yan has already said this," Gongsun Sheng said gently, "Ah Hou, you have to help me."
"Help, of course, as long as Da Jing and Bei Qi are friends forever."
"Okay." Gongsun Sheng's smile grew even wider.
When Fu Ciyi and his party arrived at the main hall, the old prince was accompanied by his eldest grandson, who was talking to Gongsun Sheng.
Seeing Yan Funing approaching, the old Duke smiled and said to Gongsun Sheng, "Look, that girl is my granddaughter, now the Princess of Rui. I'm not exaggerating, my granddaughter is excellent in every way and very filial."
"The old Duke taught me well."
"No, no, she's just excellent." As he spoke, the old Duke called out to Yan Funing, "Girl, come here."
Since it was the old Duke who was calling Yan Funing, and Jin Lingcen and Pang Anmeng were stopped by others to talk, Fu Ciyi followed Yan Funing to the old Duke.
"grandfather."
"Grandfather-in-law."
"The palace banquet hasn't started yet, so let me introduce them." The old Duke raised his hand, "This is the Crown Prince of Beiqi, and these two are the King of Dajing Rui and his wife."
The three of them nodded to each other.
Yan Funing wondered why she met this person again.
Want to leave...
But at this moment there were many ministers and royal family members, so she could not lose her manners and could only stand obediently beside her grandfather.
After looking at him calmly, Fu Ciyi's intuition told him that the person coming was not a good person.
He was looking at him, and Gongsun Sheng was also looking at Fu Ciyi.
He turned and smiled at Yan Honghou: "Originally I only knew you had one sister, how come you have two now?"
"How old were you and I then?" Yan Honghou explained. "My eldest sister had just been born, not to mention my second sister who was several years younger than us."
Hearing this, Yan Funing was surprised: "Why, big brother knows Prince Sheng?"
"More than just knowing each other?" The old Duke laughed, "They even played together before."
Gongsun Sheng also laughed: "I was wondering why Princess Rui looked so familiar. It turns out she looks a bit like Ah Hou."
This sentence explained why he sometimes looked at her.
Yan Funing's inexplicable vigilance relaxed considerably. "I still want to know how Grandfather and Crown Prince Sheng met."
"It's been almost twenty years now," the old Duke said. "Back then, Beiqi and my Dajing were at war. Your grandfather led the troops into battle, and your father, along with Honghou, also went to the battlefield. Later, both sides ceased hostilities and, after some discussion, decided to maintain friendly relations. Since this decision was made, communication between the two sides has increased. Plus, the interactions between children are always more innocent than those between adults. Seeing how well they played together and got along, the desire for further cooperation on both sides deepened."
"I see." Yan Funing nodded.
Fu Ciyi had a calm expression.
As far as he knew, the Yan family's military power was taken away after this battle.
Now he understood the starting point of his uncle's decision to take back the military power. It was probably because his uncle advocated continuing the expedition, and the Yan family seemed to be acting on their own.
The old Duke looked at Fu Ciyi and said, "Your Highness, please communicate more with Crown Prince Sheng. After all, the future exchanges between the two countries will depend on young people like you."
Fu Ciyi nodded: "Yes."
Gongsun Sheng echoed: "Grandpa Yan is absolutely right."
Just then, a eunuch came to tell everyone to take their seats and wait for the emperor and empress to arrive, as lunch was about to begin.
Then everyone took their seats according to their rank.
Fu Ciyi pulled Yan Funing to their own seats.
"This person is not a good person. You should have less contact with him." Fu Ciyi lowered his voice and spoke in a voice that only he and his wife could hear.
"Yeah." Yan Funing responded.
As he was speaking, quite a few people entered the hall.
One of the women walked straight to Fu Ciyi's seat, stared at him, and didn't speak for a long time.
Fu Ciyi lowered his eyes, too lazy to look at the other person.
Yan Funing was surprised by the behavior of the woman in front of her. She turned her head to look at the man next to her, and seeing that he had a stern expression, she followed her.
Gongsun Man shifted her gaze from Fu Ciyi to Yan Funing. Her eyes were obviously startled, and she quickly raised her eyebrows.
Yan Funing thought she was going to say something, but she didn't expect the person to turn around and leave.
After the woman walked away, Yan Funing softly asked the person beside her, "This strange woman must be the princess who came to marry?"
"Probably."
His voice was strangely cold and clear.
Gongsun Man found her brother and sat down beside him. She whispered, "Brother, I looked around today and picked one."
"Who?"
Gongsun Sheng turned his head to look at his sister, but the corner of his eye was looking at Yan Funing who was not far away.
She was seen sitting next to King Dajingrui. Her charming, pure and charming appearance was really alluring.
Gongsun Man pursed her lips and said, "It's the man across from us."
"Does he have a wife?"
Gongsun Sheng glanced at Fu Ciyi, but his eyes fell on Yan Funing.
Gongsun Man smiled, her lips moving slightly as she spoke softly, "What's there to be afraid of when you have a wife? Divorce her, kill her, it's all up to you."
"This is not Beiqi, be careful with your words." Gongsun Sheng said in a deep voice.
Obviously angry.
Gongsun Man didn't understand what was going on, so she acted like a spoiled child: "Brother, you know, I don't like ordinary people."
An ordinary man is not worthy of her.
Only the best man in the world can match her.
