Chapter 346
One by one, the officials entered the palace before the banquet had even begun. This was the reality. The more power you have over your official position, the more you can do whatever you want, but if that’s not the case, then you have to follow the rules.
The officials were all puzzled. Normally, the Minister of the Left should have been here by now, but at today’s banquet, not only was the Minister of the Left absent, but even General Leng did not show up. Even though there was nothing wrong with the two of them arriving late due to their current status, everyone still suspected that Prince Shang was the reason why the two of them did not appear.
“The emperor has arrived!” The eunuch’s voice rang out, surprising everyone. After all, Prince Shang and the others had not arrived yet, and the emperor had actually arrived so early.
Even though the Shang Emperor’s face was ancient, his handsome face gave him the charisma of a mature man. Dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, he gave off an incomparable pressure to a kind person. His every gesture carried the dignity of an emperor.
A complicated look flashed across Emperor Shang’s eyes as he looked at his courtier. Even if he did not know what was going to happen today, he would not give up on his daughter no matter what. Thus, there were times when he had to resort to some extraordinary means.
“Everyone, please rise!” Emperor Shang sat on the throne, slightly lifting his left hand.
Everyone got up, including the children of the old official. Everyone was sitting there, and Emperor Shang could see the faces of everyone below. He could also see the curiosity in their eyes.
“General Leng has arrived! The Minister of the Left has arrived! ” The eunuch’s voice rang out, causing everyone to look up at Emperor Shang. After all, his official had arrived later than them, and he still needed to be announced. Many people thought that the Emperor would be furious, but the Emperor had no expression.
Leng Yufeng was dressed in a long black robe that made him seem tall and straight. His long black hair was tied up slightly and hung down freely, but he did not look like a woman at all. Instead, he looked even more wild and beautiful. Her handsome face was like that of a saber, her eyes sparkling like sparkling jade. Her pupils were like black obsidian as they shone with a wise and farsighted light.
Huan Mo Che, who was walking side by side with Leng Yu Feng in the main hall, had handsome features. He was dressed in a royal blue brocade robe, had a green jade pendant around his waist, and wore silver embroidered boots.
The two of them were supposed to be here, but knowing that Shang didn’t have the heart to attend the feast, they wanted to wait for him. However, before they could meet, Shang had unintentionally brought them here to attend the feast first.
Everyone looked at the two with a bit of envy. After all, these were the only two that were highly valued by Emperor Shang. One person followed the imperial edict while the other joined the battle. It could be said that they wielded great power in the State of Shang.
“Godly Doctor has arrived!”
The crowd was no stranger to the Godly Doctor Ye Yi Zhe. After all, this person was once by the side of the crown prince and everyone thought that there were so many people with missing sleeves in this world. Only now did they understand that the rich man in this world had fallen in love with the same woman.
Huan Mo Che and Leng Yufeng looked at each other, helplessness flashing past their eyes. In truth, today was a new year celebration, so they all knew that everyone would be back, but none of the men had entered the crown prince’s mansion to see Shang Guang. This was probably the first time they had seen each other in so many days.
His hair was tied up in jade hairpins, his face was as smooth as jade, and his eyebrows were as black as ink. Not only did the tear mark at the corner of his eye not damage his handsomeness, but it actually gave him an indescribable sense of nobility. With his straight nose and thin lips, he walked into the great hall like a warm and beautiful jade.
Emperor Shang looked at Ye Yi Zhe, who sat down without a word after saluting. His lips twitched when no one saw him, and when he saw Emperor Ye, he immediately thought of Yi Yin. When he thought of Yi Yin, he thought of that woman and himself stealing his daughter.
“It seems like the other two will also make their appearance!” Today, they were all going to gather together.
Ye Yi Zhe nodded his head and looked at Leng Yu Feng and Huan Mo Che with dissatisfaction on their faces, “The last time, you did not do well!” Although no one could guarantee that nothing would happen to them if they stayed by Shang’s side, there were still some words that men needed to make clear.
Leng Yu Feng and Huan Mo Che did not deny it, but of course, Ye Yi Zhe did not want to grab hold of the wrong place and not let go, he and Huan Mo Che understood each other.
“Let’s guess which one is Nangong or Xuan Hao?” Huanmo Che suggested. This annual feast was really too boring and he could not sit still any longer, especially since the gazes of those people were on him, making him feel a little unhappy.
Leng Yufeng thought for a moment before replying, “Nangong!”
Ye Yi Zhe also pondered for a moment and then said, “Xuan Hao!”
“The Seventh Prince of the State of Mist has arrived!” The eunuch’s voice rang out. Ye Yi Zhe shot Leng Yufeng a look, and even Huan Mo Che revealed a smile, causing the girls below to blush and feel their heartbeats. In the past, the ladies had thought that Prince Shang was a man and had not dared to do so. However, now that they saw that the person whom they worshipped was actually a woman, they couldn’t help but admit that many of them had joked about it and there were even more who wanted to compete with the crown prince. Fortunately, Shang didn’t know what these women were thinking, or else he would probably laugh at them.
Han Xuanhao’s current reputation was not good, and he was fond of killing vicious and unpredictable devils. All these descriptions were done by Han Xuanhao, and there had even been a riot in the Mist Country before, but in the end, blood had been shed. One could imagine how scared the people were towards Han Xuanhao.
When the crowd saw that patch of red, all of their gazes were filled with amazement.
Han Xuanhao was wearing a gorgeous red robe with complicated silver patterns embroidered on the coat. From the back of his collar to the long rear hanging on the floor, he looked like a magnificent totem. His smooth black hair was tied loosely behind his head with a red ribbon. His long hair fell from his head and swayed with his movements. And in the hands of Huan Mo Che, there was a snow-white fox, an extremely beautiful person and an animal that was so adorable that their hearts almost touched. Such an impact caused the entire hall to quieten down, and there were even people who were drooling.
Han Xuanhao was very satisfied with his splendid appearance. He had spent so many days without seeing Shang, so he had put in a lot of effort to dress himself up. However, Han Xuanhao was still disgusted by the infatuated expressions of these people.
The corners of Emperor Shang’s mouth twitched as he looked at the sloppily dressed Han Xuanhao. He was really worried for his daughter now. Although these son-in-law were all not bad, they were all difficult to deal with. The backyard wouldn’t be on fire in the future.
“Who are you trying to seduce in this outfit?” Ye Yi Zhe looked at Han Xuan Hao with dissatisfaction. Originally, Ye Yi Zhe thought that his clothes were pretty good, but compared to Han Xuan Hao, it was like he was looking down on a magician. Ye Yi Zhe wasn’t the only one who was dissatisfied. Even Huan Mo Che and Leng Yu Feng were glaring at Han Xuan Hao. They looked at Xiao Bai who was trembling in Han Xuan Hao’s arms and could not help but call him master in their hearts.
Han Xuanhao ignored the three’s displeasure and smiled, “Of course it’s Xin’er. Do you think it’s you?”
Alright, the four of them started to get into conflict as soon as they saw each other. However, this conflict was only internal and others could not tell what it was. The officials sitting below could only see the four men getting along well!
“Heh, Nangong hasn’t appeared yet? “He’s simply the best!” Han Xuanhao said with a smile. He had a lot to do with Nangong Qian. Although the two of them had different personalities, they had a good relationship with each other during the revolution.
“He’s here!” Leng Yufeng said.
“King Qian of the State of Nangong has arrived!”
At this moment, Nangong Lian was sitting down. Upon hearing the voice, she turned her head to look. Although she hadn’t seen her royal brother for a long time, the brotherly love between the two of them had never faded. Back then, when Nangong Lian found out that Shang Wuxin was a woman, she had also been conflicted. She did not expect that her husband’s sister-in-law would become a woman. However, when she saw that these men were not inferior to her royal brother, Nangong Lian started to worry for him.
Nangong Qian’s purple brocade robe shone with a faint light under the light of the Night Pearls in the main hall. The golden lines on it gave him a sense of respect. His black hair fluttered in the wind, and his eyes were deep. Standing there, not paying attention to anyone present, his gaze fell on Emperor Shang as he bowed slightly.
Based on Nangong Qian’s current identity, he didn’t need to bow. Yet, he chose to do so. After that, Nangong Qian sat down among the few men without saying a word. There were five men, and each of them had their own beauty, blinding the eyes of many people. However, everyone knew that these five men were related to Crown Prince Shang. If Crown Prince Shang was ever a man, then what did not matter? It was normal for men to love to play, but now that everyone knew that Crown Prince Shang was a woman, they felt that it was unreasonable for a woman to hold so many men.
“You came so late!” Leng Yufeng icily stated. This iciness was not a habit of others, but a habit. However, they all knew each other’s personalities, so a few men would never fall out with each other over a small matter. However, if that small matter involved Shang’s carelessness, then it was a different matter altogether.
Nangong Qian looked at Leng Yufeng and said without a care, “It’s not too late!” At least Shang had not come yet, so it was not too late.
“Say, why do you guys think Xin’er hasn’t arrived yet?” After all, they didn’t go to the crown prince’s mansion to give Xin Er a surprise. Now, they have come here for the sake of meeting Xin Er?
“I think Xin`er might give us a surprise today!” After that, he received the gazes of a few men. After all, not only did women like men, they also liked surprises. What’s more, was this surprise given to him by the woman they loved?
“The crown prince has arrived!”
No matter if it was the group or the five men, seeing Shang’s sudden appearance made them feel as if they had been struck by an acupoint because it was so beautiful!
A woman’s court uniform made of precious imperial brocade, layer upon layer, it was elegant and elegant. The exquisite embroidery peony, the dancing golden phoenix, and the unique phoenix crown on her head, it was a good illustration of the noble and domineering aura she was born with! Luxurious yet graceful, elegant and graceful, elegant and graceful! Under her slender eyebrows was a pair of dark bright eyes. Her long eyelashes fluttered like a fan. Under her nose was a rosy lips. Her small face was as big as a palm. It was sparkling like jade and could be broken with a flick. Wherever those star-like eyes looked, they would hiss loudly. Her slim waist when walking was not only as coquettish as a woman, but also had a grace that a woman did not have.
