Then, Yun Ruoyue, Chu Xuanchen, the Queen Mother and the eldest princess came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony again to prepare for the palace banquet.
After entering the palace, they discovered that Emperor Hongyuan and the Queen, as well as envoys from various countries, had already arrived.
People who were in the main hall before saw the emperor and empress coming, and they all quickly stood up and saluted the emperor and empress.
"See your Majesty, long live your Majesty."
"Let's all get together. Today is the Chinese New Year, so don't be too restrained, just be casual." Emperor Hongyuan said with a smile.
After saying that, he hurriedly walked towards the Queen Mother, "Mother, I am happy that your health is well. Xuanchen, Ruoyue, please help the Queen Mother to sit down."
"Yes, Your Majesty." After Yun Ruoyue and Chu Xuanchen answered, they sent the Queen Mother to sit down at the top.
The Queen Mother happily glanced at everyone and said, "Today is the Chinese New Year. Let's have a lively time. Don't be polite anymore. Let's all sit down and have a drink and tea."
She had been suffering from illness for a long time, and she had not attended such a banquet for several years.
Now that her condition is improving and she can come and have fun with the juniors, she couldn't be happier.
After Emperor Hongyuan and the Queen sat down, he saw Chu Xuanchen, Yun Ruoyue, and the eldest princess still standing next to the Queen Mother. He glanced at the princes, nobles and ministers below, and smiled lovingly at the three of them:
"Xuan Chen, Ruoyue, Jie Yu, my good nephews, my good nieces-in-law, and my good nieces, please sit down quickly."
In the presence 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 has become very skilled at it.

"Thank you, Uncle Emperor, for your love." After Chu Xuanchen handed over to Emperor Hongyuan, he led the two of them to sit on the carved seat to the right of Emperor Hongyuan.
In order to show his care for the late emperor's children, Emperor Hongyuan always liked to place Chu Xuanchen's siblings next to him to show his preferential treatment and care.
Therefore, the seats where Chu Xuanchen and the other three sit are only one level lower than the Queen Mother, the Emperor and the Queen, and higher than anyone else here. This is to satisfy the Emperor's face project.
The emperor was afraid that others would say 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 treated the late emperor's children very favorably, and even his own children did not have such preferential treatment.
In this way, everyone will praise him as a kindhearted man and a good emperor.
Since Emperor Hongyuan liked to pretend, Chu Xuanchen let him pretend and never exposed him.
Since he had arranged such a high position for him, he sat down calmly, holding a white porcelain wine glass in his hand, and calmly scanned the people below.
The princes and princes sitting in the lower and left rows were extremely jealous when they saw that Chu Xuanchen, his wife and the eldest princess could sit next to the emperor and the queen mother and enjoy the favor.
Especially King Jin. He and Su Changxiao sat coldly in the middle seat at the bottom. Looking at Prince Li and his wife who were being admired by everyone, their eyes were filled with blazing jealousy.
They sat on the left side below, and they couldn't even sit in the front seat, because that was where the elderly uncles and concubines of the palace were. Although King Jin was the eldest son of the queen, he could only sit in the front seat of the crowd.
In the corner, this made him very unwilling.
Only after the others saw the emperor and others sitting down did they dare to sit down.
