At this time, the palace was bustling with excitement, and the envoys from the three countries had all taken their seats. The princes and princes were all present except Sang Zhi.
All the civil and military officials from the four royal palaces in Beili attended with their families, and the richest men from each palace also gathered.
Only the seats of Dean Chen, Zhan Jia, Qian Jia, Xiang Jia, and Boss Gu are empty, which not only makes people feel confused.
It would be a grave sin not to attend the emperor's birthday banquet.
In Chengde Palace, Emperor Beili's face looked gloomy at this time. The birthday banquet was about to begin. Marquis Ming, as the general of Beili, had not yet attended.
During the inquiry, I found out that not only Xiang Minghou was not present, but also the highly respected Dean Chen, Zhan Family, Qian Family and even Gu Shuo were not present.
They are all very brave, and they will be severely punished after the birthday banquet.
"The Emperor's hour has come." Eunuch Li walked in.
"Have Dean Chen and General Xiang arrived?" Emperor Beili said in a deep voice.
"Not yet."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Beili clapped his hands on the table: "Everyone is so brave. The majestic general did not even attend my birthday banquet. If the envoys of the Three Kingdoms were to know, wouldn't it mean that I have lost my dignity?"
"Perhaps some of you have been stumbled by something. The time for the Emperor's banquet has arrived, and the Queen and the ladies of the palace are waiting outside the palace."
No matter how angry Emperor Beili was, he could not let the envoys from the Three Kingdoms lose their etiquette and stood up from their seats and walked out.
At the banquet, the envoys from various countries observed the courtiers of Beili, and from time to time, a guard among them bent down and said something in their ears.
At the Dongsi envoy's seat, the seventh princess and the consort looked around at the prince's seat, but did not find Sang Zhi. They looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.
General Xilun was staring at the seat of Marquis Xiang Ming. He couldn't help but feel very good as no one was there.
"Your Highness, the banquet is about to begin, and General Beili hasn't arrived yet. I think it's because he is afraid of his son and grandson." General Xilu said to the twelve or thirteen-year-old boy standing aside.
The young man has a golden crown and a jade belt, and his every move reveals nobility.
Especially his cold face attracted the attention of everyone at the banquet.
The envoys from Nanyuan are Prince Yu and the young prince. The young prince is now nine years old and loves literature. He first came to Beili because he admired the president of Loushan Academy in Beili.
"Uncle, who is Dean Chen?" The little prince looked at the crowd.
Prince Yu looked around and said, "Dean Chen seems not to have attended."
The little prince was a little disappointed.
"The Emperor has arrived."
"The Queen has arrived."
A loud voice broke everyone's thoughts.
All civil and military officials stood up and knelt down to salute.
"See your Majesty, long live your Majesty."
"The Queen, you are a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
"Everyone, I love you." Emperor Beili waved his hand and glanced at the empty space, feeling very distressed.
All civil and military officials stood up and took their seats.
Except for the young prince of Xilu, the envoys of the four countries all bowed down and worshiped the king.
The envoy sat down, but General Xilun stood still and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty is celebrating his birthday, why don't you see General Xiang in attendance?"
"Xiang Aiqing has been delayed on something. I heard that General Mo just went to Xiang Aiqing for a drink two days ago. What's the matter? If General Mo doesn't drink to his heart's content, Xiang Aiqing is not the only courtier in Beili who can drink." Emperor Beili smiled.
"This time I met General Xiang, he didn't even drink at all. It's also because the General was so careless back then, and it hurt General Xiang's foundation. It seems that General Xiang is not as good as before, he's too weak." General Xilun laughed loudly. Laughing, it is not difficult to hear the sarcasm in the words.
I just saw that there are monthly passes. Will update more tomorrow.
