"Huangfu City has secretly replaced all the people in that temple … "Never mind, I'll leave this to Yan Wuzhan. I'm going to bed."
Recently, he had been addicted to sleeping. What was going on?
"Ning'er!" Yan Wuzhan put on a stern face. To say that he was going to sleep in front of so many people, did this woman take his words as air?
"Why, do you want to sleep too? "You should finish off this pile of useless bums first. I have already told you all of the solutions I can think of. As for the specific details, go and study them yourself!"
"…"
Everyone was dumbstruck. She had already gracefully left. Tomorrow, she still had to give Yan Qimeng a dinner to cleanse her body. It was really troublesome. The most important thing was that she was afraid that the people who buried the explosives would take action tomorrow.
The next day, the palace feast was held as usual. As it was a welcoming banquet hosted by Dongfang Ning for Yan Qimeng, it was very lively. The family members of the officials had all been invited as well.
It was called "building up relationships with everyone" and it was actually an opportunity for these people to complain. Yan Wuzhan did not care about the disappearance of the officials and said to the public: "These officials just went out to play. It's not a big deal."
In the evening, the banquet would begin as usual. Since it was winter, Dongfang Ning arranged for everyone to gather at Gongqing Hall. She arranged for a banquet to be arranged here for everyone who came to attend the banquet.
"Did you see that? That's Dongfang Ning’er!"
"As expected, she's pretty. No wonder she's so obsessed with the imperial harem! As long as she's alone …"
Before the banquet had even begun, everyone was discussing something in hushed tones. Suddenly, a lady came forward and knelt down before Dongfang Ning.
"Wuu …" "Esteemed empress, please make the emperor withdraw his order. My daughter can't marry that far away ~"
Dongfang Ning, who was his mother, didn't know who this was. She only nodded slightly and said, "This is a marriage bestowed by His Majesty's Golden Mouth Jade Rules. How can I allow him to ruin his own dignity? If he doesn't want to marry, then I'll just go against the imperial edict!"
"…"
"Wuu …" "Esteemed wangfei ~" Some of the ladies at the side couldn't hold it in any longer and wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy.
Dongfang Ning put on a straight face, "For my own happiness, I approve of your rejection of the decree, but today is a festive day. If anyone cries again and destroys Princess Qimeng's welcoming feast, I will definitely not let them off lightly!"
Wasn't this asking them to die?
No one dared to cry anymore. The hatred in their hearts for Dongfang Ning had doubled yet again.
"You guys hate me, I know that for the sake of my own happiness, I won't let Yan Wuzhan marry me again. There are already many people who hate me, I don't care about a few more, calm down.
"The most important thing is that Yan Wuzhan is mine, I will not share him with other women, just give up on that heart of yours!"
"…"
No one dared to speak anymore. The empress had made it so clear that she wouldn't let him marry another man. She had made it very clear that if they continued to tangle things up, they would be looked down upon.
Also, the guests today might have the man whom he had been ordered to marry. It was necessary to give him some face.
"Yan Wuzhan did not casually propose marriages. He did a detailed investigation on all of your promised husbands. As long as all of you have settled down, you will have a perfect life. None of the people you marry …" If you marry a man, you marry his mistress.
"Let me tell all of you, it's better to marry a man who belongs entirely to himself. No one wants to fight for your favor, no one wants to disturb your private life, this is true happiness. Throughout the generations, which royal backyard is not fraught with dangers …"
Dongfang Ning took the opportunity to pass on a bit of modern women's point of view to them. Sigh, Yan Wuzhan really dared to mess around, getting married just because he said so.
"The Emperor is merciful. It's not bad that he didn't sell all of you out, right? Think about it carefully, isn't that logical?"
"Princess Qimeng's here, Esteemed Empress Dowager's here ~"
After a few pleasantries, the banquet officially began. Dongfang Ning ordered the Intelligent Brain to search the entire palace for movements, as long as they found anything abnormal, they would immediately warn them.
Huangfu Feixue brought Yan Qimeng to meet everyone, and Hai Gu was also on the way here with Yan Wuzhan. The two of them did not bring any followers, so Yan Wuzhan used this opportunity to ask Hai Gu about the matters of Seahold.
"Your majesty, my royal father is completely loyal to the Da Ann Nation and you saved his life. When we first arrived, he said: The situation is unstable now, so when Your Majesty is in need of Seahold, you just need to give an order. Seahold will definitely serve the nation."
"That's good!"
"However, the ten carts of gold and silver and a few Sea Nation treasures that Royal Father had instructed us to bring were all stolen by bandits halfway along the way … "Hai Gu is useless. In order to protect his wife and children, he …"
He hadn't thought that he would be robbed right before entering the city. He couldn't not listen to those people threatening him with the lives of Yan Qimeng and his son.
"Don't worry. Those things won't get away. We've already sent people to clean up this mob. They're not bandits at all. You don't need to worry about this!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your wisdom!"
"Don't …"
Yan Wuzhan was about to say something when he was interrupted by Dongfang Ning's unique voice.
"Yan Wuzhan, come here. I have something to discuss with you!"
"The emperor has something to do, so let's head over first. Hai Gu will head over to the banquet first. Qi Meng won't be able to see him since she's worried."
"Mm, you can go!"
Yan Wuzhan felt strange, this was the way to the welcoming banquet. What was Ning'er doing here? Shouldn't she be greeting the officials and guests in the banquet hall? Could it be that something really happened today?
Thinking of this, he turned around and walked towards the direction of Dongfang Ning's voice.
After walking a few steps, he met Faang Yi on the roadside. He told Yan Wuzhan with his voice that was currently changing its tone:
"Brother-in-law, big sis said that Wei Qingxian and her husband are here. She'll come right after she changes clothes, so you should help her receive her friend."
"Mm, Zhen understands, you can go now!"
Dongfang Ning was very good to her only friend, so it was understandable for her to ask Yan Wuzhan to receive her. He hurried along the way, and it was unknown if he would be angry if he neglected her friend.
Yan Wuzhan's face was full of smiles, while at the same time, he was a bit regretful that he didn't bring Shunzi along. If Shunzi was here, he would have told Shunzi to go and pick him up while he went to find Ning'er …
A gust of fragrant wind blew over. The smell was a little strong, similar to Dongfang Ning carrying the scent of the wind. Yan Wuzhan subconsciously walked towards the fragrant wind.
A white figure appeared in front of him. If it wasn't Dongfang Ning, then who else could it be?
"Ning'er, I really admire you. There are so many people outside, but you're still here?"
"Yan Wuzhan, didn't I ask you to go and take a look at Qing Xian? She said that you were the one who told her to get drunk, right?"
