Tonight, everyone felt that the atmosphere between Gao Zhijun and Huo Jinqian was different.
Gao Zhijun didn't dare look at anyone the entire time, only keeping her head down while eating. Even when Huo Jinqian offered her food, she didn't even look up to say thank you. Everyone was wondering when she had become like this.
As for Huo Jinqian, he was smiling the entire time. Seeing his beloved woman so shy that she didn't dare to look up because of what had just happened, he felt even happier. She was shy because she liked him.
Since you don't dare to look up to pick up the food and only eat rice, I will pick up the food for you.
When handing her the bowl, he rubbed her hand intentionally or unintentionally, causing Gao Zhijun to tremble all over. Huo Jinqian pretended not to see it, and continued to pick up food for her, rubbing her hand, and taking advantage of her. He did not let her go until her bowl was full of food. Then he said to her: "Eat more, don't you like meat very much?"
When Gao Zhijun heard the words "like to eat meat", she recalled what happened just now and her face turned red instantly.
She explained with a slight frown: "I don't like eating meat!"
After Gao Zhijun finished speaking, she suddenly felt that she was trying to cover up her guilt.
"Oh, you don't like meat. Why do I drool when I see you seeing meat?"
Huo Jinqian saw that she was at a loss for words due to shyness and couldn't find a good excuse.
That look put him in a good mood.
"Auntie, you like to eat meat."
Gao Yuxuan corrected her in a very shameless and babyish voice, saying that her aunt loved eating meat.
"Sixth Aunt, I remember you like eating meat very much."
Huo Wenshan also followed Gao Yuxuan and said that Gao Zhijun liked to eat meat.
"I remember too, my cousin likes to eat meat!"
Even Sun Dawen joined in and said that Gao Zhijun liked to eat meat very much.
Gao Zhijun was both angry and touched by the children. She felt embarrassed and ashamed, her face turned even redder, and she didn't dare to look up.
What are these little brats doing here? They say they like to eat meat, but the meat they are talking about is not this meat but that meat.
Huo Jinqian looked at the three great assists, which made Gao Zhijun even more embarrassed and blushing, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Huo Jinchuan and Huo Jinfeng watched the interaction between the two and felt that their third brother and sister-in-law were acting weird today.
Gao Zhijun had no pleasure in eating this dinner. The rice and dishes had no flavor, and the food was tasteless. She was even restless.
Huo Jinqian ate with a great appetite and enjoyed it very much.
The two of them formed a sharp contrast, and even the children noticed that they were different today.
After dinner, everyone went back to take a shower and sleep.
Gao Zhijun couldn't fall asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed.
Normally, I fall asleep as soon as I get into bed.
What about today? Lying in bed, I couldn't fall asleep because I was thinking about how I had just seen Huo Jinqian in his room and how he had teased me.
Huo Jinqian wasn't much better. His mind was full of Gao Zhijun's beauty, which made his desire soar. In the cold winter, he had to take a cold shower to calm down.
Tonight, some people had a dreamless night, while others couldn't sleep.
The next day, Huo Jinqian got up with panda eyes and had breakfast. Then he went to assist the Honglu Temple in taking foreign envoys on a tour of the capital.
The banquet to welcome foreign envoys began.
The ministers entered with their families and sat down in their seats.
Gao Zhijun took Hongyue and Moxue to her seat and sat down. The Crown Princess was already waiting for her.
This time, except for officials of the third rank and above, other officials of lower ranks were not allowed to participate.
Not long after the ministers sat down, the emperor, the queen, and the prince walked into the hall and sat in their exclusive seats.
Because it was a reception for foreign envoys, the Queen Mother and the Concubine Dowager did not come.
"Your Highness, your Highness, we pay our respects to the Emperor, the Empress, and the Crown Prince! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Empress! Long live the Crown Prince!"
"Your Highness/Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Crown Prince! Long live the Emperor! A thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years! A thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years!"
The ministers brought their families to pay their respects to the emperor, the empress and the prince.
"Everyone stand up!"
The emperor waved his hand and asked all the ministers to stand up.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The ministers stood up with their families and then returned to their seats.
After everyone was seated, the emperor began to speak.
"Today is a welcoming banquet for foreign envoys. I hope everyone enjoys their meals and drinks."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The ministers said in unison.
"Foreign envoys are invited to the palace!"
The emperor said to Eunuch Zhang.
"Please invite the Second Prince of the Baltic Kingdom to an audience!"
Eunuch Zhang called out loudly, inviting the second prince of the Polo Kingdom to come in.
Outside the hall, the second prince of the Kingdom of Bolodin came in with two attendants, followed by two servants. They were holding trays with things on them.
"The Second Prince of the Polodian Kingdom, on behalf of his father, has sent jewels, cloth, horses, and a rare treasure, the Agate Evergreen Tree, to the King of Daliang."
The second prince, Polodyan, saluted the emperor and talked about the tribute he was offering.
"Evergreen tree? Let me see it!"
When the emperor heard that it was an evergreen tree, he was very curious about how it was carved.
The second prince asked the attendant on his left to come over, and what he was holding in his hand was the evergreen tree.
The second prince lifted the red cloth, and what came into view was a big green tree, carved to look lifelike.
"Your Majesty, this is the evergreen tree. May the prosperity of the Daliang Kingdom last forever, and may the Emperor of Daliang live a hundred years!"
The second prince, Boluodan, said.
"Good, good, I like it! Thank your father for me, for the good relations between Daliang and the Baltic states, and for the friendly relations between them!"
"Second Prince, please take a seat!"
The emperor promised the second prince that the friendship between the two countries would last forever.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The second prince of the Baltic Kingdom sat in their seats with his men.
