Chapter 384: Attending the Family Dinner and Officially Acknowledging Relationship
Next, the atmosphere on the scene became harmonious. Envoys from various countries put aside their own little thoughts and tried to praise Emperor Luo in various ways.
Emperor Luo: “…”
To be honest, he has lived for more than thirty years, but this is the first time in his life that he has received so much praise and commendation from envoys from different countries.
This extremely wonderful and intoxicating feeling was like a stream of clear spring flowing through his heart, making him feel extremely comfortable all over.
This was the highlight of his life.
Regardless of whether they were sincere or not, he felt relaxed and happy at the moment.
Upon seeing this, all the civil and military officials of Tianqi became overwhelmed with a desire to win, and joined the team that praised Emperor Luo, using a lot of rhetoric and determination to outdo other countries.
Throughout the birthday banquet, Emperor Luo's smile never ceased.
Civil and military officials as well as envoys from various countries were so thirsty that they refused to admit defeat and wished they could have another 300 competitions.
After the birthday banquet.
Emperor Luo invited Chu Tianli and his mother to attend a family dinner of the Luo royal family. The two families met formally and officially recognized each other.
The Queen Mother and Chu Tianli were extremely happy, with bright smiles on their faces.
They deliberately took off their usual solemn and dignified clothes and changed into light and comfortable casual clothes to attend this warm family banquet.
"Godmother, Brother Li, you are here~" Luo Ranran jumped up and down to greet them, holding one in each hand and led them into the palace.
At this time, Empress Dowager Luo and others had been waiting for a long time, which showed how much they valued this family dinner.
"Godmother, Brother Li, let me introduce you. This is my grandmother, these two are my grandparents, this is my uncle the emperor, this is my aunt the queen, these are my mother and father, this is my uncle and aunt, this is my eldest princess' aunt, this is my brother the crown prince, this is..."
Naituanzi introduced everyone in a babble, and every time she introduced someone, Chu Tianli and his mother would present a carefully prepared gift.
Of course, Luo Ranran has the most.
The Queen Mother smiled and greeted Chu Tianli and his mother, "Please take a seat. It's not easy for you to come from far away. Just treat this place as your own home. Don't be shy. After all, we are now a family."
Zheng Diewu gave the Queen Mother a grateful smile, "Queen Mother, to be honest, when I first saw Ran Ran, I liked her. Ran Ran is so well-behaved and cute. I took a great advantage by adopting her as my goddaughter. You can beat or scold me as you like, I will accept it all."
She spoke frankly and straightforwardly, and Nangong Yu, the old father, couldn't say much. He just put on a boastful face, because he was unhappy anyway.
Princess Qingyang calmly pinched Nangong Yu's waist and reminded her in a low voice, "Smile for me. If you dare to show your displeasure to others, don't get on my bed tonight."
“Ah, don’t—” Nangong Yu’s heart tightened, and he forced a smile stiffly, smiling flatteringly at Princess Qingyang, “Han’er, you see, I’m very obedient.”
Princess Qingyang: “…”
Nangong Yu is so shameless, I wonder who he resembles?
Nangong Yemo and his wife: "..."
Hehe, of course, like my husband and I, we are thick-skinned and have eaten all over the world. As long as we are shameless, others can't do anything to us.
Most of the people in the room had strong inner strength, and they couldn't help laughing when listening to the conversation between the couple.
Zheng Diewu looked at Princess Qingyang with some envy. Ranran’s parents had such a good relationship.
She suppressed the bitterness in her heart, slowly raised her hand, held up the wine glass and smiled at Princess Qingyang, her tone gentle and with a hint of solicitation.
"Princess Qingyang, I am older than you, so I will take advantage of you and call you Sister Han, okay?"
"Okay." Princess Qingyang nodded with a smile and immediately raised her glass to clink with hers. "Then I'll call you Sister Zheng, okay?"
"Of course." Zheng Diewu smiled happily, her mouth almost stretched to the back of her head, "Sister Han, you are so beautiful, your skin is so tender that you can squeeze water out of it. How do you maintain it? Can you teach me?"
Princess Qingyang couldn't suppress the smile on her face. Who wouldn't like to be praised for her beauty? "Sister, you really think too highly of me. I don't know how to maintain my appearance. If we talk about maintaining my appearance, my sister-in-law is the best. The facial cream I apply every day is made by her herself."
"Yes, my sister-in-law is awesome. My face cream was given to me by her." The eldest princess echoed.
Everyone looked at the queen.
The queen blushed slightly and spoke the truth, "My dear gave me a book about traditional skin care, so I tried to make it, but I didn't expect the effect to be so good. If Sister Zheng likes it, I have some facial cream, I'll give it to you, and I'll have someone make a copy of the book for you."
"This..." Zheng Diewu was overjoyed, but she couldn't take advantage of him. "Sister Queen, I can't take advantage of you. Just name a price and I'll consider it as buying the books."
The queen smiled and said, "Sister Zheng, you can just call me Sister Song. You are Guaibao's godmother now. Talking about money between family members hurts feelings. Besides, the books belong to Guaibao, so you can take them."
Zheng Diewu didn't know what to say after hearing this. She quickly smiled and nodded, "Okay, thank you, Sister Song. If you need anything in the future, just come and find me."
For a while, the women in the room were chatting happily, and the topic almost revolved around how to stay young and beautiful. Even Luo Ranran's grandmother Qing Qian joined the group chat with great interest.
The men in the room couldn't get a word in.
Chu Tianli's palms were covered with cold sweat. He had a cold personality and didn't talk much on weekdays. Now, facing Ranran's family, he didn't know how to start talking for a moment.
Urgent online! ! !
The prince looked at Chu Tianli, who was a few years older than him, smiled gently, and took the initiative to find a topic, "Brother Tianli, you came to Tianqi in person to celebrate my father's birthday. Have you arranged state affairs?"
At this moment, Chu Tianli was extremely grateful to the prince, and replied with a smile: "I will leave all the affairs of Tianzhu to my grandfather. With him watching over us, there will be no chaos for a while."
"That's good." The prince looked at Chu Tianli calmly and nodded secretly. He was a young emperor with great potential.
He could see that although Chu Tianli was not good at speaking, he was a ruthless, scheming and cunning person, and he was far inferior to him.
"Brother Tianli, it is my great honor to meet you today! Although there are frictions between our two countries because of Chu Tianyou, we are now able to turn hostility into friendship and work together. This is really a great joy!"
"If your country needs anything in the future, I hope Brother Tianli will not hesitate to ask. I am not talented, but I am willing to do my best with my father to help your country. As long as it is within my ability, I will do it without hesitation!"
Chu Tianli felt the prince's kindness and felt warm in his heart. He thanked him gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Prince. I will not be polite."
The two high-spirited young men raised their lips slightly and revealed a knowing smile.
Their eyes met, as if they saw the infinite possibilities of the future through each other. This smile was like a spring breeze, warm and gentle, and like the rising sun, full of hope and vitality.
From this moment on, the seeds of friendship between the two countries were quietly planted.
As time goes by, this friendship has withstood the test of wind and rain and has become deeper and stronger.
In the following hundreds of years, the two countries respected and trusted each other, always adhered to the moral bottom line, and provided solid support for each other.
When one side is invaded by foreign enemies, the other side will lend a helping hand without hesitation to resist the foreign aggression together.
Of course, this is a later story, so let’s not talk about it for now.
