Chapter 138 Attending the Palace Banquet
"The one who came back with our prince was the Princess of Lanxi Kingdom?"
"Oh my god, our princess is the Princess of Lanxi Kingdom?"
"The prince is so amazing that he actually married the princess!"
After the two left, the servants of Prince Yu's Mansion were talking quietly.
…
In the rose garden, Cherry and Strawberry were looking out the gate.
"Miss! Yes, Miss! You are finally back!"
Yingtao ran up and hugged Yunli. Yunli was very surprised to see the two of them.
"Why are you here at the palace? I was thinking of sending someone to the courtyard to tell you!"
Strawberry said: "It was the prince. The prince asked us to come to the Prince's Mansion a few days in advance, saying that we should be familiar with the environment, and he also asked us to redecorate the courtyard according to the lady's preferences."
Yun Li turned around and smiled at Helian Chi. The feeling of being loved was sweet.
"How have you been lately? Is Zhao Momo feeling well?"
Yingtao nodded: "Miss, we are fine. Zhao Momo has also been taken to the palace by the prince. It rained for several days in a row a few days ago, and Zhao Momo caught a cold. She has not been in good health during this period and has been resting in bed every day."
"Take me to see Zhao Momo later!"
"Well, Zhao Momo is so happy to know that the young lady is coming back soon! By the way, where is the young lady Baizhi?"
"I temporarily left Baizhi in Lanxi Country!"
"ah?"
"It's a long story. Come inside first and I'll tell you slowly!"
The two helped Yunli change her clothes for the banquet in the palace that night. Yunli also took the opportunity to tell them what happened in Lanxi Kingdom.
Cherry was genuinely happy for her young lady. "So, should I call you princess now?"
Yun Li pinched her cheek and said, "You can scream as you like!"
Strawberry chimed in, "No, she should be called Princess! Our young lady is going to marry the Prince soon!"
Yun Li asked in surprise: "Who said that? How come I don't know?"
Strawberry: "We have both been staying at the Royal Palace for several days. The De Juan family said that the prince sent a message back asking us to repair the palace, organize the storehouse, prepare the betrothal gifts, and prepare to welcome the princess!"
Yun Li didn't say anything, her eyebrows curved and her red lips curled up.
"The banquet will be held tonight. Cherry will come with me to the palace, and Strawberry will stay at the palace to look after the children!"
Cherry couldn't wait to say: "Miss, I will watch two boxes of the young master at home, and let Strawberry accompany you to the palace!"
Strawberry continued: "Miss, I am looking after the two young masters! Let Cherry come with you into the palace!"
Yun Li held her forehead, speechless. Her current status is not as high as her two children.
"Okay, both of you stay home and look after the kids! I'll go into the palace by myself! I'll show you as much as you like!"
Yingtao took Yunli to see Zhao Momo. When they arrived, Zhao Momo was sleeping. Yunli took her arm out from under the quilt and took her pulse.
Zhao Momo's pulse showed that she was not in good condition. She had to be carefully cared for after the last operation. I am afraid she can only live for a few years. This time, the cold triggered complications in her body. I am afraid that she will not live long.
Yun Li took out the spiritual spring water and fed some to Zhao Momo. She planned to keep Zhao Momo's physical condition a secret from Cherry and Strawberry.
…
In the evening, Yun Li wore a gorgeous red dress made of brocade, with lotus flowers embroidered with gold thread, which looked lifelike. The belt around her waist was also inlaid with red gemstones, which was exquisite and gorgeous, yet majestic, and extremely bright!
Helian Chi was wearing a black python robe and a jade crown on his head, and the aura of a king was blowing in his face. The two of them standing together looked like a perfect couple made in heaven.
The carriage was ready in front of the Prince's Mansion, and the two of them left in the carriage.
"Li'er, Hong Wei and the envoys are already waiting for us at the palace gate!"
"Well, how is the environment at the post station? Hong Wei has come all the way here, and she is one of the few loyal people around the Queen Mother. I don't want to let her down!"
"Li'er, don't worry. I've already sent people to the post station to take care of everything. They've settled everything very well!"
"Yeah, that's good! Thank you Helian Chi! For doing so much for me"
Yun Li took Helian Chi's arm and rubbed it affectionately, and Helian Chi kissed her on the forehead.
"I've already called you husband! What's the difference between you and me? Li'er really wants to thank me, so just do it on the wedding night!"
Yun Li seemed to have thought of what he meant, and instantly glared at him with a blushing face.
When the carriage arrived at the palace gate, Helian Chi got off the carriage first, then reached out his hand to help Yun Li get off the carriage.
"Greetings, Princess!" Hong Wei and the other envoys had been waiting at the palace gate for a long time. When they saw Yun Li arrive, they saluted her.
"Get up! No need to be polite."
At this time, officials and their families were already arriving at the palace gate to attend the banquet.
The moment they saw Yun Li appear, they were all shocked.
A lady pointed in Yunli's direction and exclaimed, "Isn't that Yunli, the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion? Did I hear it wrong? Those people just saluted her and called her Princess?"
"Princess? Could it be the Princess of Lanxi Kingdom who returned to the capital with Prince Yu yesterday?"
"Oh my god, am I seeing things? That princess looks exactly like the third young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
Several ladies passing by gathered together to discuss
The man next to them shouted, "Ahem! This is the Imperial Palace! Mind your image! What's the point of talking about this in public? You'll find out once we get in!"
Today's banquet is particularly grand because of the arrival of Princess Lanxi.
Emperor Helian Tian believed that Lanxi Kingdom had never communicated with the outside world. This mission to Lanxi Kingdom must be because the Northwest Army won a great victory on the border, making Sangyou Kingdom a vassal state. Therefore, he felt that he was in danger and sent the princess to Yueqi Kingdom to show his goodwill.
Of course, he couldn't let Lan Xiguo down, so he took this opportunity to test Lan Xiguo's strengths and weaknesses.
All the people who came to attend the banquet were well-known figures in the capital, all of them were officials of the third rank and above, and their families and children were also present.
The banquet started, and everyone was led by the palace maids to sit in their seats.
Then, the eunuch's sharp shouts were heard outside the door.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
"The Queen has arrived!"
"The Virtuous Consort has arrived! The Good Consort has arrived! The Xian Consort has arrived!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
Helian Tian, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, walked into the palace with great style, followed by a group of beautiful women.
Everyone kneels down and greets
"Your Highness, I and your humble servant pay our respects to the Emperor and His Majesty, Your Highness. Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, and a thousand years and a thousand years of the Empress!"
Helian Tian raised his head and sat down on the top chair, waving his hand: "My dear ministers, please stand up!"
The queen and other concubines also sat in their seats
Just as everyone sat down, the eunuch outside announced loudly
"His Royal Highness the Prince has arrived! Princess Mingxi of Lanxi Kingdom has arrived!"
Everyone in the room turned their heads to look at the door. Everyone, including the emperor and the prince, looked at the two people who were slowly approaching in shock.
Yun Wei in the crowd stared at Yun Li in amazement. She thought she was dreaming and that she was hallucinating. After not seeing her for several months, why did Yun Li suddenly become the princess of Lan Xi Kingdom?
