Then, Yun Ruoyue, Chu Xuanchen, the Empress Dowager and the eldest princess came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony again, preparing to attend the palace banquet.
After entering the palace, they realized that Emperor Hongyuan, the empress, and envoys from various countries had already arrived.
The people who were in the hall before saw the emperor and empress coming, and one by one quickly stood up and saluted the empress.
"See the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
"Let's all be flat. Today is Chinese New Year, so you don't have to be too restrained, just order as you like." Emperor Hongyuan smiled.
After finishing speaking, he hurriedly walked towards the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, I am very happy that you are recovering, Xuanchen, Ruoyue, quickly help the Queen Mother take the seat."
"Yes, Your Majesty." After Yun Ruoyue and Chu Xuanchen finished answering, they sent the Queen Mother to sit in the head seat.
The queen mother glanced at everyone happily, "Today is Chinese New Year, let's have a good time, you all should stop being formal, and sit down and drink tea."
The illness had tormented her for a long time before, and she hadn't attended such a banquet for several years.
Now that her condition is very good, she can also come and have fun with the juniors, not to mention how happy she is.
After Emperor Hongyuan sat down with the empress, he saw Chu Xuanchen, Yun Ruoyue, and Princess Chang were still standing beside the empress dowager. He glanced at the princes, nobles, and ministers below, and smiled lovingly at the three: "Xuanchen, Ruoyue, Jieyu, my good nephew, good nephew, good niece, you all sit down quickly."
In front of the emperor's relatives and foreign envoys, Emperor Hongyuan showed great kindness to Chu Xuanchen's family.
He has been doing this kind of surface engineering for many years, and he has already done it with ease and skill.
"Thank you, Uncle Huang, for your love." After Chu Xuanchen bowed his hands to Emperor Hongyuan, he led the two of them to sit on the carved seat on the right side of Emperor Hongyuan.
In order to show his care for the late emperor's children, Emperor Hongyuan always liked to arrange Chu Xuanchen's siblings next to him to show his preferential treatment and care.
Therefore, the three of Chu Xuanchen sat only one level lower than the empress dowager, the emperor and the empress, and higher than anyone else here. This was to satisfy the emperor's face project.
The emperor was afraid that others would say that he was mean to the late emperor's children, so he liked to show his favor to Chu Xuanchen's siblings at various banquets.
He arranged the positions of Chu Xuanchen's siblings closest to him in order to tell everyone that he had always given preferential treatment to the late emperor's children, not even his own children.
In this way, everyone will praise him as a good emperor with a kind heart.
Since Emperor Hongyuan liked to pretend, Chu Xuanchen also let him pretend and never exposed him.
Since he arranged such a high position for him, he sat down with peace of mind, holding a white porcelain wine glass in his hand, and calmly glanced at the people below.
However, the princes and princes sitting in the first, left, and right rows saw that Chu Xuanchen, his wife, and the eldest princess could sit next to the emperor and the queen mother and enjoy the favor, and they were all jealous to death.
Especially King Jin, he and Su Changxiao sat coldly in the lower middle seat, looking at Li Wang and his wife who were admired by everyone, their eyes were burning with jealousy.
They sat on the left side below, and they couldn't even sit in the front seat, because that was the seat of some elderly emperors and concubines. Although King Jin was the eldest son of the queen, he could only sit in the middle of the crowd. In the corner, this made him very unwilling.
The rest of the people did not dare to sit down until they saw the emperor and others sitting down. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
