The road ahead was difficult to squeeze through. Shi Qingluo listened to what the people said and roughly guessed what Liang Youxiao had done this time.
No wonder the road leading to the palace was so crowded with people.
It was the first time for everyone to see foreigners and animals they had never seen before, so everyone's curiosity was piqued.
Liang Yijia said with a bitter face: "Mom, how are we going to see it? We can't even squeeze in."
Shi Qingluo thought for a moment and said, "It seems that your Uncle Xiao is going to bring the foreign envoys into the palace, and those animals must be presented to the emperor. Let's go directly to the palace to see."
This way you don't have to squeeze in anymore, and the key is that you can't squeeze in.
Liang Yijia and Liang Yiran's eyes lit up and they clapped their hands, saying, "Okay, let's go to the palace and take a look."
Liang Hengyan also clapped his hands, "Go away."
The emperor and the empress dowager liked the three little ones very much, so they gave them a token to enter the palace, allowing them to enter the palace anytime they wanted.
Kong Yuelan had a good relationship with the Empress Dowager, and also had contacts with the Queen, her sister-in-law, so she often went to the palace.
After listening to his daughter-in-law's suggestion, he smiled and said, "Okay, then let's take them to the palace to see it. Then we can see it up close."
She was actually very curious about the foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes as described by the people.
There are also those animals in the stories told by her daughter-in-law. She never expected that she would be able to see their real version one day. She also wants to go and see them.
Shi Qingluo nodded, "Well, let's go back to the carriage and go directly to the palace."
The two of them brought the three little ones into the palace, and met Xi Rui and Xiao Baili at the palace gate.
He was also planning to bring his wife to the palace to join in the fun.
So the team grew again.
Not only them, many members of the royal family also heard about it. Because the streets were too crowded and they couldn't see anything, they all ran to the palace.
When the emperor found out, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he could understand it.
Therefore, a banquet was held directly, and officials above the fifth rank who were interested were invited to bring their families to the palace as soon as possible to attend.
It can also be regarded as a welcoming ceremony for foreign envoys.
The imperial edict was quickly passed down, and officials above the fifth rank did not hesitate and immediately brought their families into the palace to watch the excitement.
Shi Qingluo and others were arranged in the best positions.
People arrived one after another and were arranged to sit down by the palace servants.
King Yi, who was already in the palace, came over to join in the fun when he heard that his wife and son had arrived.
Xiao Hanzheng also entered the palace with his colleagues from the Ministry of Revenue.
At this kind of palace banquet, men and women naturally sit separately.
After seeing their biological father, the two little ones couldn't sit still and kept waving to him.
Xiao Hanzheng also raised his hand and waved at them, then made a gesture for them to sit down obediently.
The two little ones sat down very obediently, looking like they were being particularly obedient to us.
The colleagues in the Ministry of Revenue were envious and said, "Sir Liang, your twins are so adorable."
"Yes, my father went to a wedding banquet last time and started urging me to have more children."
Someone even joked, "My grandfather said the same thing when he went back home. He wanted to take the twins born to Lord Liang home to raise."
Xiao Hanzheng smiled modestly, "They are also naughty at times."
But his two little ones are very smart. If they are too naughty, they will take the initiative to act coquettishly and admit their mistakes.
Many times he wanted to be a strict father, but his efforts were thwarted by the two little ones' coquettish behavior.
There is no other way, I can only be a loving father.
When almost everyone had arrived, the emperor came over with the empress and the queen mother.
Obviously, the Queen and the Queen Mother were also curious about foreigners and animals they had never seen before.
The Crown Prince and other princes also came with their families.
The prince's son is over five years old this year. He is a very cute little boy and is usually well educated.
He asked the Crown Princess, "Mother, can I go play with Ranran and Jiajia?"
The Crown Princess was naturally happy that her son had a good relationship with the Liang family's children. "Go ahead."
In fact, she had seen her son enjoy playing with the twins, a boy and a girl, and she had some ideas about it.
For example, letting his son get engaged to Liang Yijiajia.
Twins, boy and girl, often came to the palace, and she would sometimes meet them. They were really adorable, and she liked them too.
But her husband said that Shi Qingluo and his wife would not agree to it. Given their personalities, they would not marry any prince.
She was half-believing and half-doubting, and tentatively asked Shi Qingluo about it at a banquet not long ago.
Sure enough, Shi Qingluo not only did not agree with her words, but also said that Liang Yijia's marriage in the future would depend on his daughter's own preferences, and status was not important.
The key is whoever wants to marry Liang Yijiajia, Shi Qingluo said there is one requirement, that is, he cannot take a concubine.
It was obvious that he had no intention of marrying into the royal family, so she gave up.
After all, as long as her husband successfully ascends the throne in the future, her son will be the crown prince, and it is impossible for there to be only one crown princess.
Just like a husband, even if he doesn't like women, he still has concubines and maids.
Think about it from another perspective. If it were her daughter, she would naturally hope that her future son-in-law would only be a daughter.
So I didn't blame Shi Qingluo, it was just a pity.
A moment later, Liang Youxiao walked in with foreign envoys.
Behind him followed a number of carts pushed by guards, on which were large cages containing animals brought back from abroad.
Everyone present was amazed at the foreigners with blue eyes, blond hair, red hair and brown eyes.
Several women were wearing the court dress of European aristocrats of that century, with the area below the neck exposed and their breasts clearly visible.
There were also two beautiful young women in off-the-shoulder dresses.
The ministers were curious but tried hard not to look at these women.
The old scholars all wanted to condemn it as disrespectful and that this kind of dress was simply immoral.
Many ladies were also frightened by the bold dress of these women and all looked embarrassed.
But they were all women, and they couldn't help but keep looking at these foreign women.
After seeing lions, giraffes and other animals, their attention was attracted by the animals again.
Shi Qingluo also admired the women of medieval Europe at that time. It could be seen that their etiquette was very standard and they must all be aristocrats.
Liang Youxiao accompanied the foreign envoys to pay their respects and also served as an interpreter.
He was especially grateful to Shi Qingluo. If she hadn't taught him foreign languages and foreign etiquette in advance, he wouldn't have been able to thrive abroad.
When the emperor saw these foreigners and animals, he was also amazed.
In fact, he hadn't expected that there were such people and countries living on the other side of the sea.
He received the foreign envoys with dignity and courtesy.
Then a young woman in a shoulder-baring dress took Liang Youxiao's arm and wanted to sit next to him.
The emperor couldn't help but ask, "You and this lady?"
Liang Youxiao smiled generously and said, "Your Majesty, this is my fiancée, Daisy, she is a noble lady from Great Britain."
The emperor was stunned when he heard this, "You want to marry this foreign woman?"
Liang Youxiao looked at Daisy who was holding his arm affectionately beside him and nodded: "Yes, we have promised each other a lifetime."
Mr. Liang, who heard this not far away, almost spit out the wine in his mouth.
Prince Liang's expression also changed. He didn't expect that his son would give them such a big "surprise" as soon as he came back.
