In the evening, Liu Wei had been busy all afternoon, handling a considerable amount of political affairs.
We returned to the rear tent for a short rest.
Diao Chan and Liu Yifei came to congratulate Liu Wei on his restoration to the throne.
The two men saw the royal robes placed in the tent and helped Liu Wei put them on, one on each side.
This set of attire was also brought by Cai Yong, along with the seal of the King of Yunzhong, the letter of appointment, and a number of other documents.
Liu Wei looks exceptionally handsome in his royal robes, exuding an aura of authority!
It's true what they say, clothes make the man and a saddle makes the horse!
Liu Wei was dressed in a purple straight-cut court robe, with a matching gold-embroidered spider belt around his waist, and his black hair was tied up and secured with a crown inlaid with jasper and gold.
His tall and imposing figure was upright, and his handsome appearance exuded an innate nobility.
It felt like a past life, making it seem unattainable.
Diao Chan and Liu Yifei were stunned. They never expected Liu Wei to look so heroic after putting on the royal robe.
The two of them involuntarily tensed up, their eyes sparkling with affection: "Your Highness is so handsome, so dashing!"
"Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness!"
Diao Chan bowed solemnly to Liu Wei, and Liu Yifei followed suit.
Liu Wei laughed heartily, stretched out his arms, and swayed his waist, pulling the two women into his arms, one on each side.
He then gave each of their delicate, fair faces a peck.
"From now on, you two are also the Prince's wives. Congratulations!"
Diao Chan suddenly choked up and said, "I am deeply grateful for Your Highness's kindness. From now on, I will always serve Your Highness as a dutiful wife!"
Liu Yifei immediately replied, "This humble servant is also very willing to work under Your Highness!"
Children of the grasslands speak very directly!
"I am pleased with what you two have said. Tonight, you will do your best under my command!" Liu Wei smiled wickedly.
Diao Chan smiled knowingly upon hearing this: "Your Highness, please let Fei'er stay downstairs! I'll excuse myself for now!"
Liu Yifei was taken aback at first, but then she understood the implication in Liu Wei's words and chuckled.
If you want to get to know a woman's heart, the birth canal is the closest place.
"Cicada, take good care of yourself during your pregnancy. We have a long future ahead of us, and I will definitely make up for the emptiness you felt during your ten months of pregnancy!"
"Your Highness, I am very much looking forward to it!" Diao Chan replied with a smile.
Her smile was captivating and alluring, making one feel a tickle deep inside.
Liu Wei couldn't help but linger on her plump, almost dripping peach-shaped buttocks for a while.
Before long, Diao Chan was panting heavily and hurriedly broke free.
After the three of them flirted for a while, Liu Wei said:
"Ladies, please dress a little and join me for tonight's banquet."
Xiao Guizi just reminded Liu Wei that inviting his family members would further highlight the prince's majesty.
Moreover, with such stunning beauty, the two ladies would surely impress the envoys from the Central Plains.
"Yes, Your Highness, we will collect it now."
The preparations for the banquet naturally fell to Xiao Guizi.
He had been busy with his team for a long time, but he didn't do it intentionally.
They were just two envoys from Luoyang.
The banquet mainly featured Yellow River carp from Wuliangsuhai Lake and fat sheep from the grasslands of Shulechuan.
The Hou Mansion now has no shortage of fish and mutton, which together make for a delicious feast!
As for the wine, we were a bit particular; it was all mare's milk wine and sheep's milk wine that we had captured from the Xiongnu.
Compared to the wines of the Central Plains, it is naturally much inferior.
Let's focus on an exotic flavor!
Looking at the time, it should be about right.
Liu Wei stepped out of the camp, while Diao Chan, Liu Yifei, gracefully approached, accompanied by several maids.
The two women had their hair styled in an updo, adorned with gold hairpins, and dressed in palace attire. They were radiant and beautiful, perfectly complementing Liu Wei's royal robes.
Liu Wei led the way, followed by the two women, as they headed towards the banquet venue.
The location was set up in Liu Wei's tent.
The event was held both inside and outside the tent simultaneously.
Those who could enter the tent, besides Liu Wei, were Chen Ji, Cai Yong, and a few attendant leaders.
Outside the tent were the people who had accompanied the mission.
"Your Highness, Your Highness!"
Just as they were about to reach the main tent, Xiao Guizi rushed over.
"Little Gui, what's wrong? Is the banquet ready?" Diao Chan asked before Liu Wei could speak.
"Madam, I have something important to report to the Prince privately!" Xiao Guizi said nervously.
"Hmm?" Liu Wei frowned.
Diao Chan and Liu Yifei consciously stepped aside.
"Your Highness, when I was setting up the banquet just now, I saw several palace guards in the delegation. They are the Empress Dowager's henchmen!"
"How can you be so sure?" Liu Wei asked in surprise.
“Those people were the ones who, on the orders of Empress Dowager Dong, attacked me and almost broke my legs.”
Xiao Guizi said fiercely, "I will never forget the faces of these people."
"I didn't expect to run into you here!"
"They are the Empress Dowager's henchmen, doing some shady things for her."
"Their presence in the delegation's ranks suggests they may have ulterior motives!"
Xiao Guizi expressed her concerns.
Shen Lian has just reported this situation. There are several groups of people with ulterior motives among this delegation!
The reason Liu Wei decided to hold such a banquet, sending Yao Guangxiao and Xue Rengui away and having only himself attend in a grand manner, was to see what these people were up to.
If they're here for Liu Wei, then let's give them a big surprise.
The results of my cultivation over this period of time are just in need of someone to test them out!
Liu Wei was worried they wouldn't come!
Furthermore, Liu Wei hoped they would take some action, preferably targeting him.
