Chapter 547 The Palace Banquet Ends
Prince Beifeng: "I think you are crazy. You should wait until tomorrow at least. Today is the auspicious day for the East and West Phoenix Emperors to ascend the throne. Don't try to bring bad luck to them here."
Princess Zhaoyang was stunned and immediately put on a sad face: "Why do you say that, Crown Prince? How can you say that the marriage will bring bad luck to others? Are you so sure that the marriage will not go through?
Or is it that the Crown Prince is going against Father's wishes and doesn't want to marry into the West Phoenix Kingdom at all, but has his own plans?"
Prince Beifeng glared at her fiercely and said, "Don't use my father to pressure me. Just eat your meal peacefully. If you don't want to eat, just shut up. I know how to handle the marriage."
Prince Beifeng really didn't want to see Princess Zhaoyang looking so eager to get married. The Emperor Xifeng had just boarded the plane and hadn't even attended court yet, yet he came to discuss a marriage with her.
Also, didn’t you see that there was only one queen next to Emperor Xifeng? There was no table behind them, and there were only palace maids and eunuchs standing there to serve them meals.
What's more, the Western Phoenix Emperor was always helping the Queen pick up food, and he hardly even opened his mouth.
What does this show? It shows that the Xifeng Emperor and his wife are very loving, and the Queen is the only woman.
Talking about marriage at this time would only bring bad luck.
She is a concubine princess and she doesn't even have the slightest self-awareness. How could he offend the Emperor of West Phoenix for the sake of a concubine princess? He is not stupid.
Princess Zhaoyang was so angry that she put down her chopsticks and sat there sulking.
"Are you full? Are you tired? If so, let Yueying take you back?"
Seeing that Su Yue's appetite had decreased, Murong Li asked her.
Su Yue nodded: "I'm full, I'm really tired today, I'll go downstairs and talk to mother, and then I'll go back to the palace."
Murong Li nodded: "Then you should be careful."
After Su Yue nodded, she let Yueying help her go to the main hall below and come to the female banquet area. The eldest lady and her family were sitting at the front table.
"Yuer, why did you come down? Have you finished eating?"
When the eldest lady saw Su Yue coming down, she quickly put down her chopsticks and went up to catch her.
"Mom, please sit down. I've finished eating and just came to see you."
Su Yue asked the eldest lady to sit down quickly, and then greeted Luo Meiting, Aunt Yao, and Su Yan: "Sister-in-law, Aunt Yao, Sister Yan'er."
The three of them hurriedly stood up and were about to bow, but Su Yue stopped them: "Sister-in-law is not feeling well, please sit down quickly. And Aunt Yao, Sister Yan'er."
Only Luo Meiting sat down, while Aunt Yao and Su Yan still leaned towards Su Yuefu.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. I congratulate Your Majesty!"
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen. Your humble servant congratulates Her Majesty the Queen!"
Su Yue smiled and said, "Thank you very much. Aunt Yao, Sister Yan'er, please sit down. How is Sister Yan'er doing recently?"
Su Yan is sixteen years old this year. She is tall and graceful, and has a calm demeanor. She doesn't look like the same person as before.
In the past, Su Yan was petty, with eyes full of envy, jealousy, hatred and calculation. But now, she is no longer like that. Her eyes are clear, and she is filled with joy when she sees Su Yue.
Su Yue likes Su Yan very much now.
As long as she stays like this, she will ensure that she will be rich and prosperous for the rest of her life.
Su Yan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I am very good."
"We are our own family, so just call me Big Sister."
Su Yue was not used to being so distant from her family.
Su Yan nodded and called out to Su Yue sweetly, "Big Sister."
"That's right, do you have someone you like?" Su Yue asked.
Su Yan shook her head shyly.
The eldest lady took over and said, "I saw a family some time ago. The boy looked good, but he couldn't stand the test."
Su Yue nodded: "Since there is no suitable one, there is no need to rush for now. Let's wait and see after the final exam. Then let Murong Li choose one for Sister Yan'er."
It means an arranged marriage.
The emperor's marriage may not be a good thing for girls from other families, but for Su Yan, a concubine's daughter, it is such an honor.
Su Yan and Aunt Yao were immediately overjoyed and they thanked Su Yue together.
Su Yue waved at them and said, "I just have to make sure Sister Yan'er likes it."
Aunt Yao said, "That was given by the Emperor, how could I not like it?"
The person the emperor pointed out is at least not a bad person.
Su Yue smiled, chatted with them for a few more words, then got up and left.
The eldest lady looked at Su Yue's departing back, thinking about something. Looking at Yue'er's walking posture, it seemed that she was pregnant, but Yue'er didn't say anything, so she probably was still a baby.
If it really happened, she would be relieved.
Yue'er has been married for several years but has no children. Now she is the queen, and she will be criticized. Those gossipy ministers will ask the new emperor to expand his harem. How sad Yue'er will be then.
Su Yan and her daughter looked at Su Yue who was leaving. They shook hands tightly, then smiled at each other with joy in their eyes.
Aunt Yao sighed in her heart, lamenting her original decision. If she had been as confused as Aunt Zhang, she and her daughter would not know where they were today.
Their table had already attracted other people's attention, especially the male guests. Many unmarried young men looked at Su Yan. She was the queen's sister, and she was also good-looking. Several families were thinking of going to Guogong Mansion to propose marriage tomorrow.
In such matters, the first to act will gain the upper hand, and the last to act will suffer the consequences.
Everyone's eyes were not only on Su Yan, but also on Su Qiming and Su Qicheng. Those two were unmarried men. If they married their daughters to the Duke's Mansion, they would be extremely rich in the future.
Some people even kept a close eye on Su Qiwen. He was the emperor's cousin and had only one legitimate wife. Could he marry his concubine's daughter to her as a concubine?
Being his concubine is better than being someone else's wife.
No one was keeping an eye on Murong Li's harem. The ministers knew his character well. Whoever wanted to send her daughter to his backyard would be prepared to collect her body.
Wealth and status may make people jealous, but you also have to have the life to enjoy it.
Su Yue was still living in the East Palace for the time being. As soon as she came back, she entered the space, washed up, and went to sleep.
She was very sleepy now and had to hold it in all the time in the hall, otherwise she would have been yawning for two days.
The people in the hall ate and drank to their heart's content, and the party continued until the end of the evening.
The guests were entertained by people from the Ministry of Rites. As soon as the banquet ended, Murong Li returned to the East Palace.
Seeing that Su Yue was sleeping soundly, he kissed her on the lips, turned around, gave some instructions, and went to the imperial study.
There are a lot of things that have not been dealt with today, so I have to work overtime to deal with them.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
General Wei and Uncle Su have been respectful for a long time.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
When the two saw him coming, they knelt down and saluted.
"Please stand up."
Murong Li helped the two of them up, and the three of them entered the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, how do we deal with the Lin family?"
As soon as he entered, General Wei asked.
Murong Li: "No hurry, let's wait a moment."
