Chapter 723 Not Kneeling (2)
"I'm coming!"
"It's such an occasion to dress so flamboyantly."
"It's not a natural beauty, it's just a bit of color at most."
"That's right, there are many ladies here who are better than her in terms of beauty."
"Why would Prince Tian fall in love with her?"
"I don't see anything special about it."
"Huh, I guess she had some foresight and didn't go to the minister's table."
"I thought it was too much, why not drag those two people to accompany her?"
"This is just looking for an opportunity to show off, and I don't think about whether her status is suitable for her to appear here."
"She's just a woman who has subjugated her country..."
"Shh, stop talking nonsense."
After all, in such an occasion, there are still a few people who pay attention to their sense of propriety.
Chuxue followed Dongli and the others to their seats, turning a blind eye to the intense attention from the audience.
Once you've arrived, you'll be at ease, very calm and at ease.
The more Mrs. Li looked at it, the more she liked it. This was true magnificence. Compared with this, the ladies present who claimed to be noble seemed a bit petty.
"You came just in time, not too early and not too late."
Dongli sat down and said softly.
He was also calm and didn't care at all about the looks from around him.
The same goes for Feng Ziyue. The state of mind of these people is definitely incomparable to that of ordinary people.
"Today's palace banquet is indeed a grand event."
Chuxue looked around, and there were hundreds of people including the courtiers. No wonder they were heavily guarded all the way in.
"It's not convenient now. I will introduce you to some ladies later. They will sit over there."
Mrs. Li did not forget the purpose of bringing Chu Xue here today. After sitting down, she looked for those familiar faces among the seats.
When she looked over, several officials and family members stood up and saluted Dongli and his wife, regardless of the surprised looks around them.
Although they are now the family members of the new dynasty's ministers, they still respect their old master, which is not a contradiction.
Because they are sitting here today because of the old master’s persuasion.
Dong Li and Mrs. Li also accepted this gift and nodded slightly in response without getting up.
No matter before or now, they can afford it, so they don't need to care about the eyes of the people around them.
Here, some of the officials of Yuan Dayuan also hesitated and stood up to salute Feng Ziyue, who also nodded generously in response.
He and His Majesty Dongli showed no trace of the decadence and grief that should be expected of a conquered king.
Of course, there were also some people from the original Dayuan who looked on with great embarrassment, such as the Yue family members.
In front of the former King of the Yuan Dynasty, they were rebels and traitors.
"Princess, these family members are so unscrupulous."
Even though other officials and family members thought so in their hearts, no one dared to talk nonsense. This matter is sensitive, and it is better to do less than to do more.
But Princess Vasubandhu didn't pay that much attention.
Hearing Magu's words, Princess Vasubandhu moved slightly and sighed: "These two are indeed not ordinary people. I think those people who dared to stand up and salute just now are worthy of admiration. If a person is alive, there is no friendship at all.
No, not having any toughness at all is what makes people look down upon. The fact that they dare to do this to their old master in public shows that they are magnanimous. On the contrary, they are so evasive that people look down upon them."
Princess Vasubandhu thought it was nothing.
This seems to be the case, but... Magu's eyes fell on Chu Xue, who was sitting in a somewhat awkward position.
In what capacity did she come to the palace banquet?
If she is Dahao Jinyuhou, then the position she is sitting in right now is not right, but if she really wants to sit next to the courtiers, it would not be appropriate.
"The Queen is here!"
Chuxue and the others did arrive at just the right time, neither early nor late. The Queen came right after we sat down.
All the family members stood up and bowed to pay homage to the Queen.
Only Feng Ziyue and Dong Li stood there upright, just nodding slightly and saluting.
The family members nearby were shocked when they found out.
Everyone was thinking whether they had forgotten that this was the Dahao Dynasty and saw the Queen being so rude.
But the four of them acted calmly.
"Let's all be flat."
The four people stood there so abruptly, and their seats were quite conspicuous. How could the Queen not see them?
"Thank you, Queen!"
The family members stood up one after another, and their eyes involuntarily fell on Chuxue and the four of them. The atmosphere was quite subtle.
The concubines in the harem all frowned, but they all watched calmly, watching how the queen protected her own face and Dahao's face.
Especially Li Yaoxin, others didn't know what was going on, but she knew something.
When the emperor granted the title of Marquis of Dongli, he said that in the future, Marquis of Dongli and his family would be exempted from kneeling down when they see the Dahao royal family. This is to be generous, but it is better to say that it is to avoid embarrassment. Dahao has already unified the world, and for the sake of stability
, the emperor doesn’t care if there are fewer people kneeling down.
The fifth young master should be the same, but why didn't Chuxue kneel down?
But at this moment, Li Yaoxin is more concerned about how the queen will respond. If she reprimands him, he will make a fool of himself today. The emperor has a purpose, and not many people know about it. The queen probably doesn't know either. If she doesn't do it,
Sound, what about her majesty as a queen?
At this moment, the queen walked forward slowly, instead of sitting down directly, she walked towards Dongli and the others, and everyone's eyes followed.
I saw the queen taking a few steps closer. Instead of asking for guilt, she actually spoke very politely.
"It is rare that Marquis Dongli and the Fifth Young Master can come to attend the palace banquet today. I have heard the emperor mention them more than once, saying that he has long wanted to sit down and have a drink with you. The emperor also specifically reminded me,
If you two enter the palace, you don't need to kneel down and worship when you see the royal family. You two are heroes of the world, and the Dahao royal family should treat them with courtesy."
The Queen nodded and saluted as she spoke.
After speaking, he looked at the few people generously and continued: "I have long heard that Mrs. Li is a talented woman and is very knowledgeable. I also like to read idle books on weekdays. I hope that I will have the opportunity to ask Mrs. Li for advice in the future. Today.
It's a pity that the fifth young master's wife is not here. I heard that she is pregnant with Liujia, which is really inconvenient. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will let her come to the palace to sit with me. I have met her once before and I like her temperament very much.
"
After saying these words, she does not make people think that she is a humble queen at all, but she is very grand.
Along the way, they also explained the reason why they did not salute. It was allowed by the emperor. Not only did they not have to salute when they saw her as the queen, but they also did so when they saw the emperor.
I see!
The officials and family members were relieved immediately. Since the emperor graciously issued the decree, there was nothing more to say.
Mrs. Li and Feng Ziyue also responded politely with a few words.
The queen then walked to the main seat and sat down, waiting to welcome the emperor. As for Chuxue, she wisely got over it.
She didn't know the details of this Jin Yuhou anyway, so as long as she didn't wear court clothes today, she would pretend to be deaf and dumb. Anyway, she had never seen him before, and she just thought she was a family member of those people.
The emperor will come later. Leave the rest to the emperor.
However, he still couldn't help but look at Chuxue secretly.
Anyone would be curious, Dahao's daughter-in-law is a woman who has caused a lot of trouble in the city.
She is also a woman who is hard for people not to notice. Not to mention her bright appearance, even her style is enough to attract people's attention.
This woman...just looking at her, you can tell she is different.
The queen's reaction actually stimulated Li Yaoxin. She always thought that this queen was chosen by the emperor to balance the situation and suppress their concubines. She was a tool. But now, it seems that is not the case. She
Chapter completed!
