The day of the celebration banquet finally arrived. Officials from all walks of life went to attend the banquet with happy faces. Zhou Bin naturally arrived at the palace early as well.
The emperor had not arrived yet because he was talking to his beloved Princess Ruyi.
When he saw his daughter today, he was stunned. Princess Ruyi was dressed extremely beautifully in girl's clothes, looking gentle and lovely.
You know, in previous occasions like this, Princess Ruyi always wore military uniform or dressed neatly. Why is it so grand today?
The emperor understood immediately. In fact, he had already seen that his beloved daughter had a special affection for Zhou Bin.
At that time, he was in a critical situation and had no time to ask his daughter.
Now that my daughter has come to see me, it is most likely about this matter.
He also liked Zhou Bin very much, and it just so happened that his favorite was Princess Ruyi.
If this kid could become a royal consort, it would be a great joy for me.
So the emperor asked with a smile: "Yu'er, why are you dressed like this today? Is there something important?"
Princess Ruyi changed her usual straightforward character, hesitated for a long time, and still didn't say it.
The emperor smiled slightly: "Yu'er, you are not here for that kid Zhou Bin, are you?"
Princess Ruyi was stunned and asked shyly, "Father, how...how do you know that I..."
The emperor laughed loudly: "Silly child, I am your father, how can I not know what you are thinking?"
Princess Ruyi blushed and whispered, "Father, Father, what do you think of him?"
The emperor smiled and said, "Yes, this boy seems to be quite talented."
When Princess Ruyi heard her father say this, she was very happy and immediately asked, "Then father, do you think we are suitable?"
The emperor smiled and said, "Of course it's appropriate. You are my most beloved daughter, a daughter of a royal family. It would be an injustice for you to marry him."
Princess Ruyi was overjoyed when she saw that her father agreed: "Father, please don't say that. I'm a very nice person. I don't feel wronged at all."
The emperor also smiled: "This boy looks good, and his character seems to be good too, but I haven't asked about his family yet. Today is a good opportunity to ask."
Princess Ruyi was very happy when she got the answer she wanted, and she immediately agreed with her father's opinion.
Soon, the celebration banquet began.
At the banquet, the emperor entertained his ministers, everyone drank and talked happily, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Zhou Bin, in particular, became everyone's focus, and almost everyone came to congratulate Zhou Bin.
Zhou Bin was very humble and polite. No matter who came to congratulate him, Zhou Bin would stand up to greet them.
Everyone had a better impression of Zhou Bin, saying that this young man was indeed extraordinary, capable, humble, and had a bright future.
Zhou Bin was actually a little scared. After all, this was a celebration party held by the emperor. He must not get carried away or take the spotlight.
Therefore, he tried hard to keep a low profile and hardly talked to people around him.
At this time, Princess Ruyi's eyes were fixed on Zhou Bin. The more she looked at Zhou Bin, the more she liked him and she couldn't take her eyes off him.
Finally, after three rounds of wine and five dishes, the emperor spoke: "Zhou Bin, your great contribution this time has been witnessed by all of you. There is something I have never had the chance to ask you, so today is a good opportunity to ask you."
Zhou Bin bowed hurriedly and said, "Your Majesty, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I will answer all your questions."
The emperor was very satisfied and asked, "How old are you this year? Do you have any relatives at home?"
Zhou Bin was a little surprised. Why would the emperor suddenly ask such a question?
But this was not a secret, so Zhou Bin quickly said: "Your Majesty, I am just 20 years old this year. My parents have passed away long ago. Now I only have a wife who has lived with me through thick and thin, and she is waiting for me to go back and pick her up."
As soon as he said this, people around him expressed surprise. They didn't expect that this young man, so young, had already married.
Apart from that, no one was particularly surprised, after all, men got married at a very young age at that time.
But when Princess Ruyi heard these words, she was struck by lightning and was completely stunned.
