As for Dongfang Xu, he continued to maintain his usual mysterious and unpredictable style over the past few days, treating everyone equally, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was always light, not too thick, not too light, but just right.
Among the noisy crowd, Yun Jingchu saw Xuanyuan Chen and Xuanyuan Ying, who were rarely seen recently.
Xuanyuan Ying and Xuanyuan Chen stood far away, looking at this side with hostility.
As for Xuanyuan Lin, who hadn't appeared for a long time, Yun Jingchu looked around the entire hall and didn't see him.
Could it be that he is also recuperating in the mansion today? Yun Jingchu blinked and muttered in his heart.
"Jingchu, who are you looking for?" Wu Jiu approached her ear and asked softly.
"I'm not looking for anyone. Let's see if everyone who should be there has arrived." Yun Jingchu shook his head and looked back from a distance.
"Oh?" Wu Jiu raised his eyebrows, noncommittal.
"Alright, the banquet will start soon. Everyone, please take your seats first." Xian Wang Xuanyuan Ji, who also came over to chat, raised his voice when he saw that everyone was almost done talking.
So, everyone started to walk to their respective positions.
Xuanyuan Ji stepped forward in person, bowed and made an invitation gesture, and said to Luo Huang and others: "Please come with me, distinguished guests."
Of course, the positions of Emperor Luo and Empress Luo and Dongfang Xu were arranged at the front. Although this banquet was also divided into male and female areas, Emperor Luo and Empress Luo were not in this group. Their positions were in the left column.
After the first long table, Dongfang Xu's position is next, and the third position is that of the wise king Xuanyuan Ji.
Then there are the positions of Baili Wushang and Yun Jingchu, followed closely by the position of the knife.
Then came the envoys from the Jin Kingdom, the Xiongnu, and various countries in the Western Regions, mixed with the princes and ministers responsible for entertaining.
Behind them were all male guests.
Opposite them were all female guests, including concubines headed by Concubine Xue, princesses, and wives of various ministers.
Just now, several important concubines had greeted Empress Luo, but Concubine Xue did not come forward. Of course, Yun Jingchu could guess the reason. In Concubine Xue's mind, she probably thought that the friend of the enemy was.
Enemies, the sword is her enemy, and naturally the people standing around her become her enemies.
I'm afraid that Concubine Xue, who is still in the dark, is treating her as a rival for the throne with her son. After all, after Gongsun Yue's death, she is the most likely successor to the queen, and his son will naturally have the opportunity to aspire to the throne.
Opportunity for the Nine-Five Lord.
After sitting down, Concubine Xue faced Empress Luo across from her and just smiled and nodded, and exchanged a few simple greetings. Her behavior was just right, neither warm nor rude.
Xuanyuan Ji, on the other hand, was more enthusiastic and continued to chat with Emperor Luo and Empress Luo as well as Dongfang Xu, in order to show their friendship as a landlord and build up their relationship.
Envoys from other countries also raised their necks and continued to chat and communicate with the people here.
In this harmonious atmosphere, the eunuch's high-pitched announcement came from outside: "The Queen Mother has arrived - the Emperor has arrived -"
Everyone in Aotian Kingdom stood up quickly, and Emperor Luo and others also stood up, preparing to welcome the Queen Mother and Emperor Ao Xing.
Soon, Emperor Ao Xing supported the Queen Mother and appeared at the door of the hall, and walked in.
All the ministers and concubines of Aotian Kingdom knelt down and saluted, shouting long live the mountain.
In addition to Emperor Luo and Empress Luo of the same rank and Dongfang Xu, envoys from other countries also bowed and saluted.
Both Emperor Ao Xing and the Queen Mother were smiling. After letting everyone level up, Emperor Ao Xing helped the Queen Mother to go to the throne...
