"Where is Lao Liu? Why hasn't he appeared yet?" Le Chengdi couldn't help but frown.
There were so many seats and only one was empty, how could it not be conspicuous? However, as a guest, it was not good to ask. And on Qi Yuan's side, they all knew who set up the seats. For them, his special treatment had become a habit. Those who had the power to control didn't say anything, they naturally pretended to be deaf and mute, acting as if they didn't see anything.
Speaking of which, the Empress was still ill. Although she was much better than before, her physical strength was still lacking. Attending such an occasion was a burden, and it was possible that her illness would worsen when she returned. Thus, she simply didn't appear at the welcoming banquet. If they wanted to see her, they would have to wait until the day of the Emperor's birthday. Le Chengdi only had Su Gui Fei and Qin Shu Fei by his side, and those below the rank of concubine could only appear on the day of the Emperor's birthday. Of course, their natures were completely different from the Empress. They wanted to appear but didn't have the qualifications, while the Empress was healthy and didn't have a problem if she didn't want to appear.
Other than Le Chengdi, the only one who could control Li Hongyuan was Su Gui Fei. However, she always had an appropriate smile on her face. When she heard Le Chengdi's words, she sighed and said: "Emperor, it's not like you don't know Yuan'er's temper. He is becoming more and more disobedient. Didn't he send someone to say that he would be late? Who knows when he will be late."
"Chenqie says that Jin Qinwang has restrained himself a lot since his marriage. Gui Fei jiejie shouldn't be too harsh on him." Qin Shu Fei smiled.
"Thinking about it carefully, beloved concubine is right. It seems that this man still needs to marry before he can settle down." Le Chengdi said, feeling a little gratified. "If it was a few years earlier … Zhen could have saved a few years of headaches." Li Hongyuan was still abusing his power, but as long as he restrained himself a little, Le Chengdi could be comforted. If his other sons did something wrong, they would be scolded by him. This was the difference between them.
"After so many years, we just had to meet at this time. It can be seen that it is fate. Didn't Great Master Liaochen say that it is a match made in heaven?"
"That's right." Le Chengdi nodded. Thinking about it, the Luo Family was forced to ask for this marriage. Although he also felt sorry for his son's considerate people, these good girls had one accident after another. Even if he was the Emperor, he had to hold back his guilty conscience. He was already mentally prepared for the worst. Who would have thought that this kind of marriage turned out to be very good? His son had calmed down, and his daughter-in-law was fine without illness or disaster.
When Imperial Concubine Su heard this, her expression didn't change, but her heart wasn't the same. Before they got married, she thought that this girl was a good person, but in the end, it was all just an act. She had a bad temper and didn't take her, her mother-in-law, seriously. She even seduced her son all day long. In any case, the more they got together, the more she disliked her. However, there was nothing she could do. There was already a rift between her son and her. The Emperor didn't take what she did seriously, and her son was protecting her. What could she do? In the entire harem, there was probably no mother-in-law more aggrieved than her.
Imperial Concubine Su didn't think about it. She said that she was the best and kindest mother-in-law, but in fact, she used this kind of method to suppress Princess Rui until she couldn't breathe. If there was anything wrong, it would be her daughter-in-law's fault. Princess Rui might look relaxed on the surface, but in fact, she was more aggrieved and depressed than the other sisters-in-law. She had no one to complain to. There were some things that even if she said, her own mother might not believe her. In the end, Imperial Concubine Su was a person with a strong desire for control. She used this seemingly gentle but actually extremely harsh method to make Princess Rui be respectful to her and not dare to say a word. Prince Rui was also bound by reputation and other aspects and couldn't resist.
In contrast, Jingwan was a completely different type. She didn't care about Imperial Concubine Su's methods of hiding needles in cotton floss. Moreover, she had Li Hongyuan's support and was full of confidence.
Speaking of which, the other princesses didn't seem to be as comfortable as Princess Rui. However, even the former Princess Kang didn't have it as bad as Imperial Concubine Su under the Empress.
"Little Sister Shu Fei is right. That's fate. The only regret now is that Yuan 'er doesn't have a child yet. I don't know when Old Sixth's wife's stomach will have any movement."
His words touched the bottom of Le Chengdi's heart, intentionally or unintentionally.
Qin Shufei glanced at Imperial Concubine Su. The people who knew Imperial Concubine Su the best were definitely the "old people" who had been serving Le Chengdi for a few years. "Children are also about fate. When it's time, there will naturally be a child. Little Sister Imperial Concubine will be able to hold this grandson sooner or later."
Imperial Concubine Su's eyes flashed. She had two sons, but there was no sign of a grandson. This thorn … Moreover, Yuan 'er's son …
The three people above were talking. Their voices weren't loud, but the people below all tacitly kept quiet. In addition, they were closer to the throne. Even if there was music, they were relatively far away. Therefore, they could basically hear it clearly. Although everyone's focus might be different, they all listened attentively.
Imperial Concubine Su was about to speak again when outside, "Jin Qinwang and Jin Qinwang Fei have arrived — —"
To be honest, as the Emperor, sitting at the banquet, his son actually arrived late. The old man heard the chamberlain call for his son, no matter if it was the former Wei or the Qiang Empire, it was unheard of. However, looking at the expressions of the other people in Qiyuan Empire, they seemed to be accustomed to it. Even the Qiyuan Emperor would not be angry, how strange was this?
The women who were originally dancing quickly retreated when they heard the sound. The music also stopped temporarily.
Soon, two figures appeared at the door. Without mentioning anything else, those who hadn't seen Li Hongyuan were shocked by his face. Of course, those who couldn't recover for a long time were in the minority. More people felt that the gap between Jin Qinwang and the rumor was too big. If they weren't sure of his title, and if they weren't sure that there couldn't be two people with the same title in the same country, they really couldn't connect the rumor with the one in front of them.
According to the rumor, Jin Qinwang was malicious, ruthless, and temperamental. Although it didn't mention his appearance, they knew that a person with this kind of temperament, no matter how good his appearance was, would certainly be gloomy and vicious. Then, no matter how good his appearance was, it would be destroyed for no reason. However, Jin Qinwang only looked a little cold and cheerless, but his aura was peaceful. He was like a jade tree and orchid, handsome and elegant. That incomparably handsome face became more and more prominent, making people almost unable to move their eyes away.
However, no matter how outstanding he was, the person standing next to him was still not overshadowed by his brilliance. Although she wasn't a stunning beauty, she was also a very good beauty. Qinwang Fei was dressed in a grand dress, bright and generous. It felt like she was a completely different person from Jin Qinwang. However, when the two people stood together, it made people feel that they were exceptionally harmonious, as if there was no room for a third person to step in.
Li Hongyuan and Jingwan greeted the three people above.
Le Chengdi didn't say anything and just waved his hand to let them sit down. There seemed to be a bit of perfunctory disdain on his face, but people with discerning eyes could feel that he was happy.
This recognition made some people raise their eyebrows again. Originally, they had heard that Qi Yuan's Le Chengdi was exceptionally doting on his sixth son. At first, they snorted disapprovingly. There was no father and son in the imperial family, there was no familial affection in the imperial family. Even if it was the so-called doting, it also had a limit. However, now that they saw it with their own eyes, this doting was more than what they had expected.
Li Hongyuan and Jingwan sat down and waved away the palace maid who came forward to pour wine. He poured a cup for himself and was about to pour a little for Jingwan when he paused halfway, "Warm a pot of green plum wine."
Green plum wine had a bit of sweetness and sourness. The alcohol content was also very low. It was very suitable for women who weren't good at drinking. It was obvious who it was prepared for.
Jingwan wasn't accustomed to this kind of thing, but that was at home. Right now, they were in the palace, and there were also envoys from other countries. … … Jingwan gently smiled and calmly accepted.
Jingwan and Li Hongyuan weren't affected. However, those who were there before clearly felt that the atmosphere was a bit gloomy.
It was the former Wei's Fifth Prince who suddenly laughed heartily, "Jin Qinwang came a step late, shouldn't you punish yourself with a cup?"
Under normal circumstances, there was nothing wrong with these words. However, when it came to Jin Qinwang, it was a big problem.
Originally, he didn't have any interest in paying attention to these people. His attention was only on Jingwan. Hearing that, he lightly looked over, "Who?"
With one word, the former Wei's Fifth Prince almost couldn't hold it in.
The sickly Fifth Wangye at the side coughed lightly, "Sixth brother, this is Da Wei's Fifth Prince."
Li Hongyuan drank a mouthful of wine, "Who was beaten up by He Zhi Hai yesterday?"
This matter had already been covered up. Now that Li Hongyuan mentioned it, the atmosphere was suddenly a bit awkward.
Li Hongyuan acted as if he didn't feel it, "He Zhi Hai really is a waste. Yesterday, he still boasted shamelessly to Ben Wang that he beat people until they couldn't get up. Does this former Wei's Fifth Prince look like he couldn't get up?" They all said that one shouldn't expose a person's shortcomings. Li Hongyuan was someone who would poke where it hurts. Moreover, the title of former Wei generally wouldn't be said in front of former Wei people. Li Hongyuan didn't have the slightest taboo. Everything depended on himself.
What was called condescending, what was called having no dust in your eyes, what was called looking down on everything, Jin Qinwang will give you a perfect interpretation.
What did Little Gangster He count as in the Northeast border city? What did the former Wei's Fifth Prince count as in the former Wei's capital city? In front of this lord, they were all dregs.
This living King of Hell was arrogant in a low-key way, arrogant in a gorgeous way. How could ordinary people catch up to his rank?
"Lao Liu, yesterday's matter was all a misunderstanding." Le Chengdi tried to smooth things over. His heart was actually a bit happy and also a bit pitiful for the former Wei people. However, this son, when he provoked him, he didn't even give him face. Former Wei people, it was really embarrassing. They could only admit that they were unlucky. Who told you to go up and flirt with him for no reason?
"Misunderstanding?" Li Hongyuan sneered. That ridicule couldn't be more obvious.
Le Chengdi's old face was a bit embarrassed. The veins on his forehead were throbbing. Letting this evil creature participate in the welcoming banquet, perhaps it was a mistake in itself. Why couldn't he remember the lesson?
Jingwan suddenly reached out and took the cup in Li Hongyuan's hand. She filled it up and smiled: "Fuhuang said it was a misunderstanding, then it was a misunderstanding."
