The novel clothing styles are worn by three people in different styles, but they all have one thing in common - beauty.
After everyone finished paying their respects, while the emperor's envoys had not yet arrived, several ladies with seniority and a good relationship with the queen started chatting with her.
"Empress, your dress today really suits your temperament. Is it a new style from the Shangyi Bureau?"
When the other women present heard someone asking about clothes, they all pricked up their ears and paid attention.
"How can it be the Shangyi Bureau? It's true that the Shangyi Bureau has excellent craftsmanship, but they haven't produced such new styles of clothing in all these years."
"The craftsmanship of the Shangyi Bureau is indeed great, and the clothes they make are always stunning. However, the clothes the Queen wore this time were not from the Shangyi Bureau? I wonder which expert made these clothes?" The lady who was chatting with the Queen was a little surprised to hear the Queen's answer.
"This was designed by Hua Qianshu's shop. Princess Rui saw the novel style and sent two sets to me and the Crown Princess, giving us another choice."
The Queen didn't shy away from revealing the shop's name. This advertisement was completely unabashed. The effect was undoubtedly strong. The clothes themselves were beautiful, and many people were drawn to them at first sight. Furthermore, the fact that the Queen, the Crown Princess, and even Princess Rui were personally wearing the clothes was enough to encourage many ladies to follow suit.
Especially the Queen. In today's terms, the Queen has always been a trendsetter. Wherever the Queen points her arrow, it will become popular. She is definitely a top star.
When the banquet officially began, the entire hall fell silent. First the emperor entered, followed by envoys from various countries.
The first to come in were the envoys from Beichen Kingdom, led by Beichen's Regent Rong Yi. This was the second time Ye Han had met the Regent of Beichen. He was dressed much more formally than the first time they met, and his aura was even more impressive.
"Beichen Rong Yi, I pay my respects to Your Majesty." Rong Yi bowed to the emperor who was sitting in the first seat.
"No need for formalities. I didn't expect that the Regent would come in person this time. I hope you can forgive me if the hospitality is not good enough." The emperor smiled brightly.
"Your Majesty is very kind."
"The Regent has come from afar. Please, please take a seat."
Next, it was the envoy from Lingjiang State who said, "Lingjiang Ling Ziyu, I pay my respects to Your Majesty." Similarly, Ling Ziyu, as the crown prince, simply bowed.
"I didn't expect Lingjiang to send the Crown Prince to lead the team this time. I wish your country good results."
"Thanks to Daiyue, we will do our best."
"Come here, please take a seat."
This part of the ceremony was not very complicated. The envoys from both countries quickly took their seats, and then the song and dance performance began. In fact, there was nothing much to it. The rest was nothing more than eating, drinking, and watching the performance.
At ordinary palace banquets, you might see young ladies from various families competing for beauty, especially those who dislike each other and try to trip each other up and embarrass each other. Unless something serious happens, the queen doesn't bother to intervene, and she can watch it for fun when she's bored.
However, at a state banquet like this, no one would dare to stand out like this, and the Queen would never allow such a thing to happen. Therefore, the ladies of each family behaved well and did not cause any trouble. If this banquet was ruined and made a laughing stock of other countries, they would have no hope of a good life in Dai Viet.
So, nothing happened at this banquet. It ended peacefully. The next day after the banquet, that is, the competition between the three kingdoms would officially begin.
In the carriage on the way back after the event, Ye Han couldn't help but frown as he recalled what had happened.
"What's wrong? Is the clothes thing not going well?" Yue Chengyu reached out and smoothed Ye Han's frown, and asked softly.
"That's not the case. The promotion of the clothes is going quite smoothly. I guess we won't have to worry about sales in the future."
"Then why are you frowning?" Yue Chengyu thought about it. Nothing happened at the banquet. It went quite smoothly, even so smoothly that it was a bit boring.
"During the banquet, I always felt that the Regent of Beichen and the Crown Prince of Lingjiang were looking at me intentionally or unintentionally." It's not that Ye Han is narcissistic, but Ye Han is very sensitive to other people's gazes on him. Although what the two people did was not obvious, Ye Han, as one of the parties involved, still noticed it.
Yue Chengyu frowned after hearing this. "They are beginning to suspect you." Yue Chengyu said with certainty.
"I think so. Last time, I thought that the Prince Regent of Beichen had already suspected me. This time, I'm even more certain. But this time, there's also the Crown Prince of Lingjiang."
"You should go out less recently, and even if you do go out, take Wu Shiyi with you."
"Don't worry, I'll try to minimize my outings before they leave Beichen." Ye Han knew she was in danger. If she were involved, she would rather kill a hundred people by mistake than let one go. Ye Han didn't think she was the chosen one and that danger wouldn't come to her.
"If you want to go out, call me and I will try my best to make time to go out with you."
"Well, but, speaking of which, isn't Ling Jiang's Crown Prince Ling Ziyu a little too young?"
"He only looks young, he's older than me."
"I really can't tell. She looks like a teenager with a baby face."

No, it seems my dream of having perfect attendance is shattered...
