“Hey, my royal brother, don’t be fooled by his usual smile and playful nature, he is actually quite vicious.
Anyway, we brothers all love and fear him.
However, the first few years as emperor were also quite difficult.
Fortunately, we brothers are relatively united and like to face the outside world in unison.
Minor conflicts are resolved privately.
In this way, the ministers in the court could not find a way to attack.
In the following years, the emperor's brother gradually took back the military power and controlled it in his own hands.
As for business, we brothers are all working hard in various industries."
Nangong Ye chatted casually about the brothers along the way, wanting Yue Qianli to know more.
When Jiang Ling and the others heard this, they realized that it was indeed a unique country.
These royal brothers are surprisingly so smart. The most commendable thing is that they not only do not fight for power but also do not kill each other.
Instead, we should unite and face the outside world as one.
This is a great wisdom, and it is also a very strange phenomenon among the royal family.
No wonder their country is so powerful and rich.
They walked slowly for about an incense stick of time.
Finally, a magnificent palace appeared before their eyes. This was where the banquet was to be held.
From a distance, the vermilion carpet looks like a burning flame, extending from the temple gate all the way to the main seat, as if it is a road of glory paved specifically for distinguished guests.
On the carpet, pairs of exquisite dragon and phoenix patterns were carefully embroidered. They were vivid and lifelike, as if they could take off and soar into the sky at any time.
When you enter the hall, the first thing that catches your eye is the neatly arranged cylinders on both sides.
These pillars are tall and sturdy, with auspicious dragons and phoenixes of various shapes carved on them. Every line is delicate and meticulous, showing the craftsmen's superb skills.
The golden lines are like gems inlaid on the column, sparkling brightly under the sunlight, which is amazing.
Look at the rows of long tables, neatly and orderly arranged in the hall.
Each table was filled with colorful and exquisite flowers, emitting bursts of charming fragrance;
Exquisite tableware was placed neatly aside, reflecting a faint glow;
There are also a variety of pastries and snacks that are mouth-watering.
At the same time, groups of palace maids dressed in gorgeous palace costumes moved lightly among the banquets.
Their steps are graceful and calm, their postures are graceful, and they hold fine wine and delicious food in their hands, like a flowing beautiful painting.
And behind those layers of screens, there came the sound of melodious music.
The sounds of stringed instruments intertwined with each other, echoing gracefully throughout the hall like the sounds of nature, adding a festive and peaceful atmosphere to this grand palace banquet.
Following Nangong Ye, Jiang Ling and Yue Qianli walked side by side, each holding a baby in the hand.
Walk straight towards the prince's seat.
At this time, people who arrived early couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
The two men following behind Prince Nangong Ye were both extremely handsome. One was tall, the other short, one was strong, the other was gentle. They looked harmonious no matter how you looked at them.
Also, those two little boys, wearing light blue children's clothes, are fair and tender, and so adorable.
"Fourth brother, Brother Jiang, you just sit here. I'll be next to you so I can take care of you." Nangong Ye made the arrangements and sat down in his seat next to him.
Yue Qianli nodded to him to express his gratitude, and then sat down with Jiang Ling and the two children.
"Today's party feels very formal, doesn't it? Aren't they usually just dinner parties?"
Jiang Ling glanced around and found that except for the emperor's main seat and the seats of several princes, almost all the seats were occupied.
It was his first time attending such a grand banquet and he didn't quite understand.
Yue Qianli smiled, and a low and gentle voice sounded.
“The palace banquet is not fixed to be held in the evening; there are also lunch banquets. It all depends on the emperor’s wishes.
Our banquet is not one of the traditional ones in Southern Song. It is quite casual and does not have many rules."
Jiang Ling nodded to show that he understood.
At this moment, two men suddenly appeared in front of them, looking a few years older than Yue Qianli.
The two of them looked at Yue Qianli with a smile.
Then one of them took the initiative to speak.
"Fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law, nice to meet you. I am the second brother, Nangong Xuan."
"Fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law, I am the third brother, Nangong Jing."
Oh, it turned out to be the second and third sons. They both look smart and capable.
However, at this moment, the two of them were smiling and actively greeting Yue Qianli, which showed that they were greatly influenced by Nangong Yumo.
At this moment, his eyes still looked quite sincere.
Jiang Ling didn't care about the two calls of "fourth brother's wife". It was a good piece of meat anyway, so he gave them some face.
"Second brother, third brother, I am Yue Qianli."
"This is Jiang Ling, with two children. The older one is Jiang Hao, and the younger one is Yue Anmo, whose nickname is Doudou."
Yue Qianli stood up and greeted the two of them.
Jiang Ling also smiled and said, "Second brother, third brother, it's our first meeting, please take care of me."
"Come here, two little ones, say hello." He said to Xiaozaizai and Xiaohaozi.
"Jiang Hao has met the two prince brothers."
"Doudou meets the second uncle and the third uncle. Both uncles are very handsome." The little guy can't help but praise when he sees a good-looking person.
The two princes were also happy to hear such direct words.
They heard from their elder brother the Emperor and the fifth brother that Yue Qianli and Jiang Ling were both very good, and that the little cub was also very well-behaved.
Sure enough, it’s not an exaggeration.
