The next day, the palace seemed to be particularly busy today, and there were many people walking around in the palace.
Yi Shuihan listened to the gossip of the palace maids on the road and found out that there was a banquet held in the palace tonight, which was the first official banquet since the emperor ascended the throne.
When Yi Shuihan arrived at the Hanlin Academy, he saw the happy faces of the attendants and had no intention of doing anything. After listening to their whispers, he realized that the Hanlin Academy was also attending tonight's banquet.
Several attendants gathered around to discuss how to court a mate tonight, which princess was good, which young lady was good, or maybe they could show their talent and get the emperor's appreciation and the princess's favor.
Yi Shuihan shook her head, she was extremely bored, but she wanted to experience the so-called palace banquet.[
It had just fallen into the night and the sky had not yet completely darkened. The palace lanterns illuminated the entire palace as brightly as a pearl, shining brightly.
The weather is great today. The banquet is held in the open air. Rows of tables and seats are arranged, extending to almost no end. This shows how grand the banquet tonight is.
Delicious food, fragrant tea and wine, rare and exotic fruits, a dazzling array of luxury.
The beautiful maids in long skirts fluttered, holding flower baskets and serving wine and tea.
The ministers brought their spouses and children to attend the banquet. This banquet was also a marriage banquet. The ministers naturally hoped that their sons would be favored by princesses and famous ladies, and their daughters would marry noblemen.
Therefore, young ladies from official families are indispensable at the scene. Each one dresses up in an original way, flatters and compares with each other.
At the sound of the emperor's arrival, everyone quickly retreated to their seats, and a group of people bowed and knelt, shouting to see the emperor.
"No courtesy." Ling Xiaoran waved her sleeves and sat on the main seat.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." When everyone saw the Emperor taking his seat, they themselves took their seats.
Ling Xiaoran was wearing a piping dragon-white python robe today, tied with a jasper red belt. She was extremely handsome, her face was as clear as a sculpture, angular, noble and noble, and her majesty and depth revealed were unpredictable.
The emperor was not only the emperor, but also the most noble person in the Beiming Kingdom. He was also a rare handsome man in the world. Many unmarried women looked at the emperor secretly, but were intimidated by the emperor's aura and did not dare to look more.
The concubines attended the ceremony, all dressed up, each one more beautiful than a flower, standing next to each other in twos and threes, vying for beauty, wearing all kinds of dresses and hairstyles, with hundreds of flowers blooming, dazzling everyone.
The female actors filed in, singing and dancing, with their skirts fluttering and their sleeves flying.
Yi Shuihan was sitting in the corner, unable to even see the emperor's appearance, and her colleagues who were a little out of line were as excited as peacocks in heat.
"Yi Shidu, I heard that you already have a fiancée?" Zhou Shidu said with a malicious smile. Yi Shuihan is so handsome that he must be easily favored by beauties, so wouldn't he be in trouble?
"Zhou Shidu, can you please stop calling me Yi Shidu and call me Mr. Yi?" Yi Shuihan was a little angry. Her surname was already a bit difficult to pronounce, and with the awkward official title of Shidu, she wanted to offend people.
"No problem. I heard that Mr. Yi's fiancée is Miss Qianjia, or she was snatched from Shangguan General."
"So what?"
"Since Young Master Yi already has a fiancée, I'm afraid none of the princesses here can fall into Young Master Yi's eyes?" Zhou Shidu said with a proud look on his face.[
The implication is, do you want these princesses to bend down and become concubines? These princesses are of noble birth, which is obviously impossible, so don't waste your efforts.
