Then, Yun Ruoyue, Chu Xuanchen, the Empress Dowager, and Princess Royal came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to prepare for the banquet.
After entering the hall, they found that the Hongyuan Emperor and the Empress, as well as the envoys from the other countries, had already arrived.
When the people in the hall saw the Emperor and the Empress arrive, they all quickly stood up and bowed to the Emperor and Empress.
"Greetings to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."
"You may all rise. Today is the New Year, so there's no need to be too restrained. Just be casual. "The Hongyuan Emperor smiled.
After speaking, he quickly walked over to the Empress Dowager. "Muhou, zhen is happy that you've recovered. Xuanchen, Ruoyue, quickly help the Empress Dowager to her seat."
"Yes, Emperor." After Yun Ruoyue and Chu Xuanchen answered, they helped the Empress Dowager to her seat.
The Empress Dowager happily swept her eyes over everyone. "Today is the New Year. Let's have a good time. Don't stand on ceremony. Sit down and drink tea."
Her illness had tormented her for a long time. She hadn't attended such a banquet for several years.
Now that she had recovered, she could come and have fun with the younger generation. She couldn't be happier.
After the Hongyuan Emperor and the Empress sat down, he saw that Chu Xuanchen, Yun Ruoyue, and Princess Royal were still standing next to the Empress Dowager. He then looked at the nobles and ministers below and smiled lovingly at the three: "Xuanchen, Ruoyue, Jieyu, zhen's good nephews, good nephews, good nieces, quickly sit down."
In front of the imperial relatives and foreign envoys, the Hongyuan Emperor was very loving to Chu Xuanchen's family.
He had done this kind of superficial work for many years and was very skilled at it.
mark(“zhong“);
"Thank you, Imperial Uncle, for your love." After Chu Xuanchen cupped his hands to the Hongyuan Emperor, he led the two to the carved chairs to the right of the Hongyuan Emperor.
In order to show that he cared for the previous emperor's children, Hongyuan Emperor always liked to arrange Chu Xuanchen and his younger brother's seats next to him to show his preferential treatment and care.
Therefore, Chu Xuanchen and the other two sat only one level lower than the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress, but higher than anyone else present. This was to satisfy the Emperor's ego.
The Emperor was afraid that people would say that he was mean to the children of the previous Emperor, so he liked to show his favor to Chu Xuanchen and his younger brother at all kinds of banquets.
He arranged for Chu Xuanchen and his younger brother to sit closest to him in order to tell everyone that he had always given preferential treatment to the children of the previous emperor. Even his own children did not receive such preferential treatment.
This way, everyone would praise him for being a kind-hearted and good emperor.
Since Hongyuan Emperor liked to pretend, Chu Xuanchen also let him pretend and never exposed him.
Since he arranged such a high seat for him, he sat down with a clear conscience. He held a white porcelain wine cup in his hand and calmly scanned the people below.
The princes and qinwang sitting in the left and right rows below saw that Chu Xuanchen, his wife, and the Princess Royal could sit next to the Emperor and Empress Dowager and enjoy their favor. They were all very jealous.
Especially The Emperor of Jin. He and Su Changxiao coldly sat in the middle seats below. Seeing The Emperor of Li and his wife being admired by everyone, their eyes burned with a raging fire of jealousy.
They sat on the left side below. They could not even sit at the front because that was the seat of the older imperial uncles and concubines. Although The Emperor of Jin was the Empress's eldest legitimate son, he could only sit in the corner of the crowd. This made him very unwilling.
The other people only dared to sit after seeing the Emperor and the others sit down.
