    0079 Palace Banquet (1)

    Majestic is the word to describe the appearance of the main palace. The red palace walls and the yellow roof set off each other. The white jade stairs are crystal clear under the sunlight. A thin layer of snow covers the surrounding branches, adding a touch of poetry to the imperial city. Eunuchs and maids in uniform uniforms stand on both sides of the stairs to guide the guests. The guards patrolling around are in order.

    Because Hua Xuan’s legs were too much exercise and couldn’t exert any strength at all, most of her body’s strength relied on Li Yiwen. From a distance, it looked like a pair of mandarin ducks clasping each other’s necks. They were extremely affectionate. Only the person involved could understand the pain inside. She had sore waist and backache. She had to climb the hundred steps without even taking a breath. Hua Xuan, who was spoiled and childish, pinched Li Yiwen’s chest hard again.

    Li Yiwen didn’t pay attention to Hua Xuan’s counterattack at all. He put his arm around Hua Xuan’s shoulder and held Hua Xuan’s hand with the other hand. If the situation wasn’t suitable now, Li Yiwen would have liked to pick her up. He couldn’t bear to let Hua Xuan suffer this. It was windy outside, and his baby was so cute. If no other man spied on him, heThere were no tears left at that time. When he thought of the two men in the palace, his originally high emotions were cast into a layer of gloom.

    When Hua Xuan walked into the main hall, she felt blinded by this luxurious building. Just looking at the paintings on the ceiling was enough to dazzle her. Dragons were playing on the ceiling, penetrating the clouds, in various forms. The most important thing was the golden dragon at the top of the dragon chair. The pearls inlaid with its eyes were the largest and brightest among the dragons. The joyful and deep feelings penetrating the clouds were carved so vividly that it made people fearful.

    Hua Xuan was pulled aside by Li Yiwen and sat down before she could take in the surrounding scenery. The main hall was divided into two, with the dragon chair as the boundary, dividing the royal relatives and ministers, envoys and guests.The first-class positions close to the emperor were divided according to their status. Because Li Yiwen had contributed to disaster relief, Hua Xuan and Hua Xuan sat in a conspicuous position in front, next to the prince. This kind of treatment made everyone speculate for a long time.

    The prince was not unhappy at all when he saw this arrangement. He could get close to Hua Xuan. No matter what those long-tongued people said, this arrangement was very unhappy for Li Yibai, who had always been promiscuous and had no achievements. He was arranged in a hidden corner. In the past, he felt comfortable and could rest secretly, but now the three people are sitting in front. He is like an abandoned child. He isThey were ruthlessly isolated. When he saw Hua Xuan and Li Yiwen occasionally chatting and laughing, he felt as if he was being weighed down by a big stone and was almost out of breath.

    In this year’s palace banquet, in addition to Li Yiwen’s astonishing and controversial rise in status, there is another person who is also at the forefront. He is the mysterious rich man in the capital, Lan Mingzi, a philanthropist who generously donated money during this disaster.

    Although the number of people in the palace was strictly controlled this time, those ladies and rich ladies heard about Lan Mingzi’s arrival, but they tried their best to dress up. If those courtiers were not concerned about their own face, they would probably kneel down and lick Lan Mingzi in private.

    If you think about it, there are only a few influential figures at this palace banquet, and among the single golden men, apart from the prince, only Lan Mingzi is the most attractive. You must know that the prince has always been expressionless, and it is not easy to get close to him. Moreover, the prince’s marriage is definitely in the hands of the emperor, and it is not certain whether his daughter will have a chance.

    But Lan Mingzi is different!He was rich, young and handsome, approachable and appreciated by the emperor. He was named “Good Marquis” by the emperor. Although it was just a name with no rights, it was enough to make people covet him. Therefore, marrying his daughter to Lan Mingzi was of course the best thing. Even if she was a concubine, she would have a bright future!

    Participating in a palace banquet is actually just a face-saving banquet, which is a kind of torture for Hua Xuan who has just finished exercising. When the emperor comes, he must give a big gift, and when the queen comes, she must give a big gift. The emperor and the queen cannot use chopsticks when talking, they can only pretend to listen carefully.

    Li Yiwen noticed Hua Xuan’s discomfort, he carefully laid hands on Hua Xuan, and said dotingly: “I’ll go back and ask Jiu Di to cook something delicious for you. Thank you!”

    When Hua Xuan thought of Li Yibai’s dishes, she became even hungrier. She had to admit that although Li Yibai behaved wildly, the dishes he cooked were really mouth-watering, and the presentation alone was enough to whet one’s appetite.But when will this palace banquet end, and when will she be able to go back and eat Li Yibai’s food…
