Behind him, Xuanyuan Lin looked at Yun Jingchu's back with regret, while Xuanyuan Ying looked at Yun Jingchu's eyes full of resentment and resentment.
Not long after Yun Jingchu and his two sisters-in-law sat down, they heard the eunuch's sharp and high-pitched voice coming from outside the door: "The Emperor has arrived - the Imperial Concubine has arrived - the Concubine Xian has arrived - the Concubine Shu has arrived - the Concubine De has arrived -
—”
Everyone stood up quickly and prepared to welcome Dongfang Xu and her four concubines.
After Dongfang Xu ascended the throne, he did not establish a queen, but only four concubines and several low-level concubines. The harem was very deserted.
Soon, Dongfang Xu, dressed in bright yellow, walked in surrounded by the fourth concubine and the palace people.
"I bow to my emperor, long live my emperor. I have seen the noble concubine, the virtuous concubine, the Shu concubine, and the virtuous concubine. The four empresses are thousands of years old."
"My envoys (little king and daughter) have met Emperor Yuan and the four empresses."
Everyone hurriedly paid greetings to Dongfang Xu. The officials of the Yuan Kingdom naturally bowed and bowed, while the envoys from other countries naturally followed the etiquette of each country.
"Everyone, please get back on your feet." Dongfang Xu raised his hand and said loudly as he walked up the imperial steps.
Everyone thanked them and stood up.
Dongfang Xu sat down on the throne, then pressed his hands to the people below and said: "My dear friends and distinguished guests from afar, please take a seat."
Everyone thanked him again and then returned to their seats.
Dongfang Xu nodded to the chief eunuch behind him. The chief eunuch raised his neck and said loudly: "The emperor has a decree, the banquet has begun, and the meal is served——"
As soon as he finished speaking, the music started, and a beautiful palace maid walked in with a tray, and placed a delicious dish unique to the Dao Yuan Kingdom on the table in front of everyone...
Then, a dancer will dance gracefully.
As Princess Kang of the Luo Kingdom, Yun Jingchu did not sit with her two sisters-in-law. She was seated very far forward, sitting at the next table to Xuanyuan Ying, who was equally distinguished.
Sitting at the male guest's table opposite her was Baili Wushang and Xuanyuan Lin.
During the following banquet, Xuanyuan Ying stared at Yun Jingchu with angry and resentful eyes.
But Xuanyuan Lin talked to Yun Jingchu and Baili Wushang from time to time, with a humble and gentle expression.
Halfway through the banquet, envoys from various countries and ministers of the Yuan Dynasty began to present gifts to Dongfang Xu.
Jade, calligraphy and painting, antiques, rare birds and animals, rare specialties... everything is available.
What Baili Wushang gave to Dongfang Xu was a box of thumb-sized pearls of uniform size, flawless white color, and a colorful, singing fish that was equivalent to the size of an adult.
What Xuanyuan Lin gave to Dongfang Xu was a box of egg-sized luminous pearls and ten thousand-mile horses.
By the time everyone had finished giving gifts, the banquet had come to an end.
Naturally, rare birds and animals that were too huge and ferocious could not be brought to Guangyun Hall, and were all sent to the animal garden in a corner of the Royal Garden.
"Thank you very much for the gifts, dear friends and distinguished guests. I am going to go to the animal garden with you to see other gifts." Dongfang Xu stood up and laughed loudly.
Everyone agreed repeatedly.
So the group of people moved to the animal garden.
When everyone was still far away from the animal garden, they heard the sounds of various animals coming from inside. Some of the timid female relatives were even frightened by the coldness.
Yun Jingchu glanced at Lin Wenjing, who was a little excited, then shook Bai Ruolan's hand, who was a little scared, and walked to the animal garden together.
