Chapter 181 Merit Banquet



Lu Yuguo widened his eyes and looked at the dress carefully. He asked, "Are you going to wear this tonight?"

"Well, His Highness is also wearing a similar dress." Wu Hainan said, "Why don't you try it on first to see if it fits. If it doesn't, there's still time to alter it."

"Okay, then I'll try it." Lu Yuguo said and went upstairs to try it.

He tried on the suit in the cloakroom, and it seemed to him to be a perfect fit, and very elegant and luxurious.

However, he was not from this world after all, nor was he an aristocrat or upper-class person like Mo Yuanshen. He could not tell whether there was anything wrong or not, so he still wore a formal suit and went downstairs to let Wu Hainan take a look.

Wu Hainan looked at Lu Yuguo in a formal dress and felt a little impressed. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has good taste. It is said that clothes make the man. Lu Yuguo in a formal dress looked like a noble young man, handsome and very good-looking.

"How is it? Is it okay?" Lu Yuguo asked.

Wu Hainan walked around him, checked it out, and said, "Okay, no problem, it fits perfectly."

After hearing this, Lu Yuguo went back upstairs to change and wear it again in the evening.

A little after six in the afternoon.

Mo Yuanshen came back. After the two of them rested at home for a while, they simply washed up, changed into their formal attire, and then went to the celebration banquet.

The celebration banquet was held in the backyard of the imperial palace, but not in the emperor and empress's living area, but in the reception area on the other side.

Although it was also in the backyard of the imperial palace, the backyard was still very large, so Lu Yuguo and Mo Yuanshen still had to take a hovercraft to get there.

The hovercraft stopped at the back of the banquet hall. Mo Yuanshen took Lu Yuguo directly through the inner door and went up to the lounge on the second floor.

As soon as Lu Yuguo entered the lounge, he saw Meng Jiangyu and Her Royal Highness the Princess. The Emperor and the Empress were already there, and not only them, but also an unfamiliar middle-aged man.

"Guoguo is here. Come and sit for a while. We still have to wait a while before starting." Wu Duolin waved her hand and let Lu Yuguo come over.

After Lu Yuguo called someone, he and Mo Yuanshen sat down aside.

When the middle-aged man saw Lu Yuguo, he kept looking at him with sharp eyes.

Mo Pengxiao introduced, "Guoguo, this is our general, Meng Jianglei. He is also Meng Jiangyu's brother."

"Hello, General Meng." Lu Yuguo greeted politely with a slight smile.

Meng Jianglei nodded and said with a slight smile: "Just call me Uncle Meng."

"Uncle Meng." Lu Yuguo called again very obediently.

Meng Jianglei nodded, looked at Mo Yuanshen and said, "It seems like I haven't seen Your Highness for a long time. I feel like Your Highness has changed a lot this time."

Mo Yuanshen smiled and nodded, saying, "It's been a long time since we last met. Actually, I haven't changed much. I just returned to my original nature."

Meng Jianglei nodded and said nothing more. He was not a talkative person.

Lu Yuguo felt that this was another taciturn and profound person.

He turned to look at the others. They were all dressed up, and this family all brought the handmade items he had given them.

Turning around, I glanced at Mo Yuanshen. He was not only wearing cufflinks today, but also earrings. It seemed that their family had a good understanding of each other.

Everyone chatted for a while, and after a while, Manager Lin came in.

He said, "Your Majesty, everything is arranged. You may enter."

Mo Pengxiao glanced at him, nodded, then glanced at the manuscript on the terminal again, read it silently again, and then stood up and said, "Let's go in too."

Lu Yuguo leaned over to Mo Yuanshen's ear and whispered, "What was Father looking at just now?"

Mo Yuanshen took Lu Yuguo's hand, let him put his hand on his arm, lowered his head and whispered: "Father will speak at the beginning later, he has been reciting the script just now."

So that's how it is. Your Majesty also needs to memorize the script.

Lu Yuguo nodded with a look of sudden enlightenment, took Mo Yuanshen's hand and whispered, "Will there be a lot of people soon? I can't handle so many people."

Mo Yuanshen could see that Lu Yuguo was a little nervous, and probably didn't like socializing. He patted his hands and said, "If you don't want to pay attention to me, don't bother with me. Just eat your food later."

"Okay." Lu Yuguo nodded in response.

After entering the banquet hall, Lu Yuguo took a quick look and saw that the entire banquet hall was filled with very large round tables, which felt like the kind of banquet held at a Chinese wedding.

Moreover, there were so many people, and he also noticed that in a corner at the back, there were a lot of media and professional cameras.

When their group came out, almost all the cameras and video cameras turned to them. Fortunately, perhaps because of the occasion, their cameras only made slight sounds and there were no particularly strong flashes.

As the emperor and empress walked, they turned to the media, nodded, waved, and smiled. Then the emperor turned around the corner and went straight onto the stage with Steward Lin.

The Queen, Lu Yuguo, Mo Yuanshen, and Mo Yuanzhi turned around and sat down at the main table at the front of the banquet hall.

As soon as they sat down, the emperor began to speak.

The emperor spoke in official language and it didn't last long, only a few minutes.

Lu Yuguo didn't quite understand what was said, but he pretended to listen very carefully. After all, the media were filming him, so he couldn't be too rude.

Mo Yuanshen glanced at Lu Yuguo and couldn't help but smile. He took a cup and poured him a glass of juice and said, "Guoguo, relax and drink some juice."

"Okay." Lu Yuguo took the juice and took a sip.

When he finished drinking the juice, the emperor had just finished his speech and everyone present burst into applause.

Lu Yuguo quickly put down the cup and started clapping.

After the emperor finished speaking, the whole banquet became lively. Before, everyone present had been speaking very quietly, but now they seemed to relax, and it seemed as if everyone in the banquet was alive all of a sudden.

There were not many people at the main table. Lu Yuguo took a quick look and realized that there were three people he didn't recognize. One of them was quite young, with a very youthful look and temperament.

"That's Meng Hongen, the son of Meng Jianglei and nephew of Meng Jiangyu." Mo Yuanshen introduced him to Lu Yuguo when he saw him looking over.

"The other two are one of the Supreme Councillors and one of the Imperial Court's assistants. You can understand them as my Imperial Court's right-hand men."

At this time, the emperor also introduced Lu Yuguo to the two and said, "You should know this person, Shen'er's lover Lu Yuguo."

When Lu Yuguo heard the emperor introducing himself, he immediately turned around and looked over. He smiled slightly and called out, "Hello, uncles."

After the two of them exchanged pleasantries with Lu Yuguo and Mo Yuanshen, the emperor picked up his chopsticks and called everyone over, saying, "Let's eat. Guoguo, you're welcome. Many of the dishes at the banquet are delicious, so feel free to eat."
