Chapter 282: Complexity
In the previous corruption case, Huo Siyuan conspired with Li Zhushi, who was Li Yunsheng's man.
The two must have had contact before.
A faint light flashed in Liang Moyuan's eyes.
It seems that today's banquet is more complicated than she had imagined.
As the sunlight changed from white to warm yellow, the guests gradually arrived.
The eldest princess arrived last and also brought the most valuable gift at today's banquet.
"This princess thought it would be boring to give ordinary gifts, so she had this pure gold sedan made. Your Majesty also allowed the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess to use it on important days."
A sedan chair made of pure gold.
Everyone's eyes were wide open.
Liang Moyuan's eyes met the eldest princess's.
The two smiled at each other and nodded slightly.
This gift is indeed too precious.
But compared to Princess An Ning's lifelong happiness, it seems nothing.
The eldest princess has found the best reason to repay a favor.
Only after the eldest princess and Li Yunsheng took their seats did the cannon salutes begin to blare.
The guests fell silent.
Dozens of pairs of eyes fell on Liang Moyuan and Huo Jinjian.
Huo Jin stood up calmly, his expression cold, and raised his hand to raise his glass: "Thank you all for attending this ceremony."
After he finished speaking, he tilted his head back and drank the wine in the glass.
Liang Moyuan also picked up the wine glass. Her voice was as clear and pleasant as the collision of jade beads, neither too loud nor too soft, which made people feel comfortable.
"If there is anything inappropriate at today's banquet, please forgive me. To the right of your seat is a small gift I prepared for you. I hope you don't mind."
This was arranged by Liang Moyuan early in the morning.
There is a small wooden box wrapped in red satin on each seat.
Inside are either jade pendants, bracelets, or gold jewelry.
Each one is small and exquisite, with excellent workmanship, and it is obvious that a lot of care was put into it.
Huo Jin had not expected Liang Moyuan to be so well prepared. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes as he looked at her.
Liang Moyuan tilted her head slightly and said in a low voice, "These are all taught to me by my mother."
Li Qingxue was born into a merchant family and understands interpersonal relationships best.
Today is Huo Jin's enthronement banquet. All the important figures in the capital will be here, and the gifts they bring must be the best of the best.
Giving some small gifts in return not only showed the generosity of Huo Jinjian and Liang Moyuan, but also made those guests who had spent a lot of money feel more at ease.
As expected, looking at the smiling dignitaries at the banquet, it was clear that Li Qingxue's teaching was good.
They don't lack these things, but they are more worried that the things they send out will not be effective.
This small gift can also reassure them.
"Thank you for your hard work, Moyuan." Seeing Liang Moyuan taking so much trouble for his affairs, Huo Jin's eyes were filled with heartache.
Liang Moyuan chuckled and shook her head, her eyes beneath her veil filled with the gentleness and consideration of a spring: "You and I are one as husband and wife, there's no need to talk about this."
Huo Jin felt warm in his heart when he saw this, and thought that after the matter of King Zhenbei was over, he would definitely take Liang Moyuan to have a good rest.
Thinking of the emperor's instructions before leaving the palace, Huo Jin's eyes flashed with coldness.
"Jinjian, I will not be attending your enthronement banquet this time, otherwise they will not have the opportunity to perform. You must come and see who performs the most exciting performance."
The most exciting thing is Li Yunheng’s old subordinates and Li Yunsheng.
Li Yunheng's old subordinates were very friendly and drank cup after cup with other officials.
Li Yunsheng found the right opportunity and walked up to Huo Jinjian with his wine glass in hand: "My Lord, this prince toasts you."
Huo Jin immediately picked up the wine glass, his handsome features still polite and courteous, but with a hint of smile: "Thank you, Your Highness the Third Prince, for your kindness."
Li Yunsheng opened his head.
Those who had originally wanted to get to know and make friends with Huo Jinjian rushed forward after Li Yunsheng and Huo Jinjian clinked glasses.
Seeing Huo Jin drinking one cup after another, Liang Moyuan quietly got up and went to a secluded place.
"Lan Shu, go make a pot of hangover soup and prepare it. Also, make some millet porridge with red dates, wolfberries, and a pound of rock sugar. Keep it warm after cooking so it doesn't get cold."
Lan Shu replied yes.
If you drink like this, even a wine lover would get drunk.
Liang Moyuan turned around and looked worriedly in the direction of Huo Jinjian, but Princess An Ning jumped out from somewhere.
"Sister Moyuan!" Princess An Ning's eyes were bright. She tilted her head to look at Liang Moyuan and smiled very cutely.
Liang Moyuan recalled the last time Princess An Ning rescued her in the Changsheng Palace, but she had never had the chance to thank her.
"Is the princess bored?"
Princess An Ning grinned at Liang Moyuan's words, then touched her nose a little embarrassedly.
"The party is the same no matter where it is. If you weren't here, I wouldn't have come. Besides... I have something to ask you!"
Princess An Ning spoke her last sentence so quickly and softly that Liang Moyuan almost didn't hear it.
Seeing her shy look, Liang Moyuan knew what An Ning wanted to ask her.
"The old lady is here to support the family. Can I accompany the princess for a stroll?"
These words hit the mark exactly what Princess An Ning wanted.
