Chapter 1042: Palace Banquet

But now, he no longer cares whether Wanwan is a cultivator or not, nor does he care how much benefit Wanwan has brought to the Great Chu State. At this moment, he seems to be just a father.

He also knew that he could no longer hear Wanwan's thoughts, and now he no longer cared about it.

Wanwan's height now probably reaches her chest.

Unconsciously, he had missed so much of her growth, as if he could still remember the little girl when he took Lu Xingwan on a tour south.

Wanwan was held in the arms of the Emperor of Chu like this, and naturally she felt a lot of emotion in her heart.

No one else said much for a while. After all, His Majesty and Wanwan were reunited after a long separation, and they didn't want to interrupt.

Ever since Wanwan was born, auspicious clouds have enveloped the palace, and the Emperor of Great Chu has been very fond of Wanwan.

At that time, the favor that the Great Chu Emperor showed to Lu Xingwan was seen not only by the people in the imperial palace but also by the common people in the mortal world.

Not to mention that Wanwan has been gone for eight years. During these eight years, the Emperor of Chu has been missing her day and night.

Now that Meng Quande is old, it is quite a coincidence that the one who has taken over his place in serving the Emperor of Great Chu is Eunuch Meng.

Eunuch Meng followed the Great Chu Emperor and knew that the Great Chu Emperor often took walks alone in the Yu Garden at night when no one was around.

He knew that at this time, His Majesty must be missing the princess.

The news that Wanwan had returned naturally pleased the Emperor of Great Chu.

So the Emperor of Great Chu issued an edict that day, saying that a palace banquet would be held in the palace three days later to welcome the return of Princess Yong'an.

The decision of the Emperor of Great Chu made the entire palace busy in the past few days. The eunuchs and maids in the palace were busy decorating the palace.

Even the chefs in the kitchen were summoned by His Majesty himself.

He said that the most exquisite dishes must be used in this banquet, which shows how much the Emperor of Chu values ​​Princess Yong'an.

And in order to make it more lively, the Emperor of Great Chu also stated in his edict that any official in the capital, whether a royal noble or a low-ranking official, could attend the palace banquet.

Therefore, for a while, the ladies in the capital became busy again.

They were busy preparing some gorgeous clothes and some exquisite clothing and jewelry.

For a while, the tailor shops and jewelry shops in the capital were brightly lit day and night.

Of course, I can't miss this opportunity to make money.

You know, there hasn't been a palace banquet in this palace for a long time, so everyone is naturally very excited.

In addition, now happened to be the time when Pei Chuyan was discussing marriage, so all the ladies and young ladies had put their minds to it.

If my daughter could catch the eye of Duke Anguo, it would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Wanwan was also very excited. You know, in the original storyline, neither she nor her mother would live to this day.

Therefore, many people in Beijing today have never appeared in the novels.

For Wanwan, what happened next was more like her experiencing a new world.

She couldn't wait to meet these people she had never met before, and also wanted to personally experience this strange environment that she had never seen before.

And the unknown.

It's really amazing to talk about all this.

In the days leading up to the palace banquet, Wanwan was not idle in the palace. She kept shuttling between the various palaces.

The Empress Dowager is now old and has missed her for many years, so she will naturally visit her first.

The Crown Prince is busy with government affairs now, so I guess my sister-in-law won't be idle either, but I still go there every night as usual.

Although the Han sister had always been a gentle person, now that she had entered the palace, perhaps because she did, Lu Xingwan felt that she had become less angular than before.

Became smoother.

This is probably the fate of those who enter the royal family, right?

Naturally, she also had to visit the concubines who were on good terms with her mother.

The first place she went to was naturally Concubine Lan.

Since the second prince left the capital, Concubine Lan has had quite a lot of free time in the palace.

But she thought that she was not good at taking care of children, and now that the second prince had left, she felt relieved.

Besides, Song Qingyan would never take over the right to manage the harem no matter what.

Now, Concubine Lan Guifei is still in charge of the palace banquet.

Wanwan naturally expressed her gratitude and chatted with her about the Second Prince and Rong Wenmiao before saying goodbye and leaving.

Naturally, Lu Xingwan also wanted to go and take a look at Concubine Wen.

Speaking of which, before going to Concubine Wen's palace, Lu Xingwan still had a little hesitation.

And what happened between her and the Seventh Princess outside before was still fresh in her mind.

She actually felt a little regretful, thinking that she shouldn't have been so strong in front of Lu Xingyan.

Even if we don't give her face, we have to give some face to Concubine Wen.

Concubine Wen has always been very kind to me.

So on the way from Yanhe Palace to Hanguang Palace, Wanwan felt a little uneasy.

It's not that I think what I did was wrong, but I just feel a little sorry for Concubine Wen.

And if by chance today, Lu Xingyan also happens to be in Qingyun Palace, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if I meet her?

Forget it, now that I'm here, there's no turning back.

Just go ahead and do it.

Besides, Wanwan has never been the kind of person who likes to escape. Now that things have happened, there is no turning back.

Just adapt to the situation.

Wanwan took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, then raised her head slightly and walked towards Hanguang Palace.

The one serving Wanwan today is Jinxin.

This was indeed something Wanwan had not expected.

Unexpectedly, after eight years, sisters Jinxin and Jinyu are still serving their mother.

Because the two of them served the Imperial Concubine, many disciples of high-ranking officials and nobles came to ask to marry them.

After all, such people have served the Imperial Concubine for so many years. If they are married, they can also benefit from the Imperial Concubine's influence.

The most important thing is that people outside are always praising them for their gentleness and virtue.

Every visiting card seemed to represent a bright future for Jinxin and Jinyu, but they both refused to give in.

What happened to Wei Cheng earlier hurt both of them.

Having been with the Imperial Concubine for so many years, they have seen too many marriages formed for personal gain in the palace and in the officialdom.

Behind the seemingly glamorous appearance, there is endless bitterness.
