After everyone was seated, the prince of Southeast Kingdom arrived with the princess.
"The Crown Prince of Southeast Kingdom has arrived—"
Following the eunuch's shout, the dancing girls who were originally dancing gracefully dispersed to both sides like a tide.
Lin Late in life held the wine glass and looked at the entrance.
Soon, Ye Xuan, wearing purple clothes and with a tall figure, appeared in front of everyone. Behind him followed a woman with her face covered with gauze and dressed luxuriously.
When Sang Yexuan walked in, he glanced to the side. He had a stern face at first, but when he saw Lin Wan, his expression changed slightly. He thought he had seen it wrong, so he looked again, and finally stopped looking there, but his steps became a little unsteady.
And at this time.
In his later years, Lin overheard Sang Yexuan's inner thoughts.
【Anian? 】
【It is really Lin’s old age. 】
【Why did he attend this banquet? 】
[Oh no, he is looking at me, is he curious about my identity? ]
[I didn’t tell him my identity.]
[Wait, how should I explain this? ]
What if he is sad?
【……】
Lin Wannian held his chin and looked at Sang Yexuan, mumbling about this matter in his mind, while on the surface he was already chatting with the emperor.
"I heard that your country defeated the Hu Kingdom. As a neighboring country, my father specially sent me to congratulate you. This is a gift from my Southeast Kingdom. I hope you don't mind it."
After Sang Yexuan finished speaking, the woman next to him walked forward and saluted the emperor with seductive eyes.
When the old emperor saw such a tender woman, his cloudy eyes instantly lit up.
Meanwhile, Concubine Shen at the side looked calm and was drinking tea.
"Please take a seat."
After Sang Yexuan sat down, he looked down at where Lin Wannian was sitting and discovered that he was surrounded by women, which made him feel nervous.
If it weren't for the etiquette, he would have walked up quickly and kept a close eye on the person.
When Sang Yexuan stared in that direction, the women around him thought that the prince of the neighboring country was looking at them, and they couldn't help but act pretentiously.
"That prince is so handsome."
"The prince of the Southeast Kingdom is indeed a rare talent, but unfortunately he has not yet married. I guess that is not the case."
"puff."
Lin Wannian was listening attentively, but when he heard what others said, he spat out the tea in his mouth.
Fortunately, the people upstairs were enjoying the singing and dancing, so his performance was just a small interlude.
But Sang Yexuan, who had been paying attention to this side, was unhappy.
【What on earth is he thinking about? He is laughing so happily. 】
The envoy beside him whispered to Sang Yexuan who didn't know what he was doing: "Prince, someone wants to toast you."
Sang Yexuan came back to his senses, raised the wine cup and toasted the prince of Zhuangyi Kingdom.
Now that things are 90% done, the Crown Prince of Zhuangyi Kingdom is dispensable, but the King of Shi and the Young General still need to be considered.
Sang Yexuan was thinking and glanced at the position of Tu Shiyu and Wei Yuwen.
There was an aisle between the two of them.
When the dance was almost over, Sang Yexuan stood up and glanced at Wei Yuwen: "I heard that your country won a great victory by using explosives made from firecrackers. I am very curious about who could come up with such a great idea."
"It's just a lot of talent."
"Oh? Then I am even more curious, who on earth could have created such a weapon?"
Sang Yexuan looked like he wanted to meet someone.
The officials in the imperial court sensed that the prince from the neighboring country had come with ill intentions, and signaled to the king with their eyes, hoping that he would understand.
Lin Xiang sat beside his wife with a gloomy look on his face.
The emperor seemed to be in a daze at this moment, and looked at the eunuch beside him: "Is the prince here?"
The father-in-law quickly responded: "Yes."
"Then let him come up."
The father-in-law looked at the name and just called out: "Lin became famous in his later years."
It was the first time in ancient times that Lin attracted so much attention in his later years.
Good, very good.
When Sang Yexuan saw that it was Lin Wannian, he was stunned for a moment and praised: "Your country is really full of talented people."
