Ten days later.

Han Liang and the envoys from the north wing entered the palace together.

Both messengers were very polite, and they didn't seem to be very close, but these were just superficial, but in fact, no one knew what the relationship was.

Long Yuechen arranged them in two palaces respectively.

I don’t know whether it was intentional or coincidental, the palaces of the envoys of the two countries happened to be together.

During the day, Long Yuechen met with the envoys from the two countries respectively.

And at night, it is naturally what everyone is looking forward to most - a dinner.

It is said to be a dinner party, but it is actually a banquet with each other's own thoughts.

Of course, there is also marriage, which is also a disguised blind date conference.

There were also many handsome young men and ladies from the country we visited.

This is a banquet that increases friendship between countries.

After all, marriage also determines the future pattern.

An invisible alliance will be formed between friendly countries, and the isolated country will become the target of joint attacks by other countries.

The dinner is also a place to showcase the financial resources and talents of each country.

The team of dinner tonight was very strong.

Almost all young talents and princesses from Dongling Kingdom came whenever they could participate.

The people from Han Liang and the North Wing are also spectacular. Although there are open and secret struggles between countries, they have done enough skills on the surface, and there are many princesses and princesses.

Inside the Golden Palace.

At this time, Xia Qiqi was surrounded by seven or eight palace maids, dressing up.

He was wearing a water blue body.

Because she is just a concubine and is not as high as the queen, she naturally is not allowed to wear bright red in such solemn occasions.

However, letting her attend such a banquet was enough to show Long Yuechen's love for her.

In the past, similar banquets were held every year, but at that time, Long Yuechen had never favored anyone.

In the entire harem, the only ones who can participate are the queen and several tough concubines in the backstage. Those are superficial skills. In order to consolidate the needs of the country, Long Yuechen allowed them to attend.

And now, Long Yuechen is willing to let Xia Qiqi attend.

Xia Qiqi's identity is from the people of Jialing, from eighty-year-olds to three-year-old children. No one does not know that Xia Qiqi is the daughter of the former prime minister.

In other words, no one does not know that Xia Qiqi is the daughter of a rebellious minister.

However, it was just such a sensitive identity that Long Yuechen asked Xia Qiqi to attend the banquet in front of everyone in the world.

This is undoubtedly an announcement to the people of the world that Xia Qiqi's position in the minds of their emperor.

At the same time, this also means that Xia Qiqi's future life will be in dire straits.

She has no power, no power.

But the women in Long Yuechen's harem are not easy-to-use lamps.

This is the danger behind glory.

But Xia Qiqi is now standing in such a conspicuous position and being favored by Long Yuechen, which is also enviable and jealous.

In addition to trying to get rid of Xia Qiqi, many women in the harem also began to think about whether to curry favor with Xia Qiqi.

But these are not what Xia Qiqi cares about now.

She didn't know how envious and jealous the women in the harem and even the whole world were. She only knew that she was very annoying now, really annoying!

It's summer now.

The weather is so hot, not like in the previous life.

High-tech and air conditioning are available in summer, so don’t worry about heat.

The technology here is behind, and there are only hand-crank fans, and the hand is almost broken, and it is still so hot.

I don’t know what people here are going crazy. On such a hot day, I won’t say that I don’t have to expose my arms and legs, but I have to wear a few layers on my body.

She is obviously so hot that she has to wear so much. Having said that, this is the first summer she has lived without air conditioning in recent years.

As the saying goes, "From poverty, from wealth and honor, from wealth and honor to poverty," her current situation is almost the same.

But now there are so many people around me, and it is even hotter. The layers of clothes on my body are also soaked in sweat.

Fortunately, no one cared about her before, and she only wore two layers of clothes, but now, just because Long Yuechen said she had to attend that damn banquet, she now had to wrap her around her.

She is going to be dying of heat.

"Yangchun, fan you"

Xia Qiqi couldn't help complaining.

"I'm fanning, I'm fanning, I'm virgin"

Yang Chun slapped the palm-leaf fan in his hand vigorously.

My forehead was covered with sweat.

Even as a local who has been in the past dozen summers, she is completely unable to adapt to this hot weather.

"It's so hot!"

Xia Qiqi really couldn't stand it anymore. If Long Yuechen was standing in front of her at this moment, she would have punched him without hesitation. The weather was so hot, and he still asked her to attend a banquet with a tough attitude. It was really worth a beating.

In her previous life, she was not a person who liked the fun. She would find various reasons not to attend any banquets, but when she arrived here, Long Yuechen was the boss.

He was still a slutty boss, and he could tell that she couldn't find any reason even if she wanted to find a reason.

"Yes, I'll slap it hard!"

If it were normal times, she would definitely leave when she heard Xia Qiqi's words, but today.

Today is the first time since their Empress entered the palace, and it is still a banquet that ordinary concubines cannot attend. This is enough to prove their Empress's weight in the emperor's heart.

As their slave, she was naturally happy that their empress could be favored.

...

Because it is summer and the indoors are hotter than outdoors at night, Long Yuechen's banquet is arranged outdoors, just near Huatang.

The night breeze blows the air a lot cooler.

Although the dinner has not officially begun, there have been many people in the place where the banquet is held. Of course, most of them are boys and girls.

Compared to the north wing, the folk customs in Dongling are much more conservative.

Although there is no unmarried girl, so it is not as serious as it can be found in the boudoir, if she leaves the boudoir every day, she will still be told by others.

And there is no legitimate reason. When an unmarried girl meets adult men of the same age, she will be gossiped about by others.

Therefore, there are fewer opportunities for everyone to understand each other.

Now that they finally have a good opportunity, they will naturally arrive early in order to take advantage of this opportunity to find their lover.

When it was just dark, the banquet officially began.

However, at this time, Han Liang and the people from the North Wing had not arrived yet. However, Long Yuechen had already sat in the main seat, and the one next to him was naturally the queen of Dongling.

The person in the first position on the lower right is an older concubine, Concubine Jing.

However, in the first position in the lower left, no one sat in the seat, but in the second position, the only concubine in the Dongling Mountains, Concubine Min.

At this time, Concubine Min was staring at her with her eyes fiercely, at the first position on the lower left of Long Yuechen.

She was the noble concubine and her status in the harem was second only to Concubine Jing and the Queen.

According to her seniority, she should have been in the first position on the lower left of the emperor. Tonight she walked over happily and wanted to sit on it, Guard Jing came over and stopped her.

Although Guard Jing was just a guard, she was a person highly valued by the emperor. She could not offend her easily, so she did not have an attack on the spot.

He just turned his gaze to the emperor in a high position. He thought the emperor would let her sit on it, but he didn't expect that the emperor just looked at her.

The meaning is very straightforward, just let her do it in the second position.

She has been sitting in the first position for so many years, and without a reason to convince her, how could she really be willing to sit in the second position?

She wants to see which bitch is it tonight and dares to steal her position!

...

After Xia Qiqi packed up, she followed Yangchun and the others to the place where the dinner party was held.

Although she had complaints in her heart, she had lived for so many years and knew how important this dinner was to Long Yuechen. So when she went there, she also did the etiquette that she should do as an emperor's concubine.

Although she, Xia Qiqi, had no rules in her usual life, she was a thief in her previous life. When she was in this industry, she learned everything, so her imitation ability would naturally not be too poor. She also learned a lot of etiquette.

It will definitely not embarrass Long Yuechen.

Before Xia Qiqi arrived, everyone was having a lot of chatting. The queen and a few concubines would also talk to Long Yuechen from time to time. However, Long Yuechen only replied occasionally, looking at the first empty space in the lower left, not knowing what he was thinking.
