Palace of Heavenly Purity.
That night, Emperor Qingwu held a celebration banquet for Jiang Xi and the soldiers who followed Jiang Xi back to the capital.
Civil and military officials had already arrived.
At the banquet, everyone was toasting, chatting and laughing, and it was still very lively.
When Jiang Huan and her sisters arrived, all the ministers and the ladies and gentlemen who came to attend the palace banquet hurriedly stood up and bowed to greet them.
As soon as they sat down, many ministers came over with wine glasses to toast them.
His Royal Highness Prince Jiang Xi, who had just made great contributions and was in the limelight, was especially sought after by the ministers.
The most important thing is that Jiang Xi has not married a royal husband this year, and there are no servants or other ministers in the palace. It can be said that she is keeping herself clean.
Emperor Qingwu valued Jiang Xi very much, and Crown Princess Jiang Liu even regarded Jiang Xi as his right-hand man.
Under the temptation of many conditions, many ministers with children at home set their sights on Jiang Xi, who was single and had a bright future.
Of course, there were many ministers who toasted Jiang Yun and Jiang Xuan.
The former, like Jiang Xi, doesn't even have a fiancé, and at most has only two servants in the mansion.
Although the latter has a fiancé, the positions of the two concubines in the mansion are still vacant.
Here, Jiang Huan was sitting upright in her seat, drinking wine and watching her three sisters dealing with the ministers.
Unexpectedly, before she could enjoy herself for long, a group of ministers came to her with wine glasses in hand.
"Your Highness, I offer you a toast."
"It's been a long time since we last met. Your Highness the Sixth Prince looks even better now."
Jiang Huan was a little confused and had to pick up the wine glass and be forced to socialize with a fake smile on her face.
"No, no, please forgive me for joking."
Jiang Huan was confused because she was just a princess, she didn't have the title of a princess, and she hadn't even held an official position in the court, so why did these people suddenly come to fawn on her?
But in fact, she never thought that she was just a princess.
But she was the most beloved and favored princess of Emperor Qingwu.
The other princes were also extremely fond of her.
Having so many backers behind her means that Jiang Huan herself is a golden thigh.
It’s not like there were people who didn’t want to curry favor with her in the past.
But Jiang Huan was severely brainwashed by the Xu family in the past, and always put the Xu family first in everything.
He has a bad temper and is flamboyant. If he fails to curry favor with her and ends up making Jiang Huan unhappy, it would be a waste of time.
Nowadays, many ministers have seen that Jiang Huan's personality has changed a lot and is no longer the same as before.
These people just came forward.
Everyone is happy here.
Not far away, Ling Yuan sat in his seat, looking towards the door from time to time.
Luo Ran, who followed her into the palace, stood quietly behind her.
He looked like a handsome man, but actually his eyes were not very honest, secretly looking here and there.
Luo Ran grew up in Tianxiafang, Jiangnan. Although he was a very popular courtesan in Jiangnan, he had also witnessed many big scenes.
But Luo Ran had never seen such a grand and luxurious palace banquet.
The most important thing is that the most important person he has ever met since he was a child is Ling Yuan, the daughter of the Left Prime Minister.
But now, he could actually see the King of Side by Side whose fame spread all over the world! And those precious princes and princesses who were the focus of the crowd as soon as they appeared!
Not to mention, he will soon meet the most noble person in the world, Emperor Qingwu, who holds power over the world and has the power over life and death.
These days, I saw the prosperous scene of the capital city and the scenes of those powerful people in the distance chatting and laughing happily.
Everything in this made Luo Ran yearn for it.
It is the yearning for power and fame!
When he thought that these aspirations might soon become reality, Luo Ran's eyes suddenly became hot.
Yi Jiange who was standing next to him glanced at Ling Yuan who was staring at the entrance of the palace, and then looked at Luo Ran.
There was a hint of deep thought in his eyes.
She had never seen this man in Ling Mansion before, and thought that Ling Yuan must have brought him here from outside.
What is Ling Yuan's purpose?
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out from outside the palace, "Your Majesty has arrived, Lord Feng has arrived, and Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess has arrived."
Everyone quickly stood up and knelt down to salute.
"Your son pays respects to the Queen Mother, Father, and the Crown Princess."
"Your Majesty, long live your Majesty!"
"Greetings to Lord Feng, may Lord Feng live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"
"Greetings to Her Royal Highness, May Your Highness be well and safe."
Emperor Qingwu was particularly happy today, and his usually serious face was filled with smiles.
"Gentlemen, please stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Everyone took their seats, and Luo Ran, who was standing behind Ling Yuan, couldn't help but look up at Di Huang who was sitting at the top.
He just took a quick glance and couldn't help but look away before he could even see her face clearly.
It was because the aura emanating from Emperor Huang's body was too captivating, and it was difficult for ordinary people to look directly at her face and sharp eyes.
It was this kind of scene of looking down on the world that made Luo Ran even more excited.
Emperor Qingwu spoke passionately, "This time, our Dali was able to defeat Mobei, thanks to the contributions of King Bingjian and the three armies guarding Mobei.
Tonight's celebration banquet is the reward banquet I hold for all the soldiers.
According to my order, King Bingjian led the troops in this great defeat of the Mobei royal court, fought bravely and won great military exploits.
"I hereby reward King Jiang Xi with ten thousand taels of silver, one thousand taels of gold, and three boxes of beautiful jade and gems."
"Thank you, mother, for your grace."
Emperor Qingwu added, "I have read the memorial submitted by King Bingjian, and heard that King Bingjian's deputy general Xin Shi also made great contributions in this campaign in Mobei.
"Pass on my decree that Xin Shi be promoted to the third rank, and be awarded five thousand taels of silver and five hundred taels of gold."
