The royal palace banquet was unusual, and preparations began very early in the palace. After the morning court session, officials and their families who were eligible to attend the banquet began to prepare.

In the Young Marquis's Mansion, in order to show their identity as Yun Clan members, Yun Feiyang and Yun Yiduo both wore the most delicately crafted soft gauze. Soft gauze is usually white, the most natural color. Of course, there are very few Yun Clan members who can wear red soft gauze during their wedding. Red soft gauze is extremely precious, at least no one in the Central Plains has the chance to see it.

As for Guo Sheng, he was naturally wearing the crown of the young marquis, and his brocade clothes and jade belt made him look completely different from the silver-armored general he once was. Everyone followed Guo Sheng out of the young marquis' mansion, and the group of handsome men and beautiful women attracted the attention of passers-by.

The young general, who was full of vigor and vigor, was followed by two young girls and boys whose faces were unknown but well-dressed. Behind the young girl, there was a tall maid who was also dressed in white and had a light veil on her face. After that, there was a group of servants and maids, with a huge momentum.

After entering the palace gate, the guards checked everyone's identity one by one and took the carriage to the first palace. Those who attended the palace banquet had to get off the carriage in the first palace. Those with status or special instructions from the emperor could take the sedan chair to Chengqian Palace, while others had to walk.

Originally, Guo Sheng had been granted special pardon by the emperor to ride into the palace on horseback, but he wanted to accompany Yun Feiyang and his sister, so he followed them to Chengqian Palace.

Chengqian Hall was very large, and the banquet had already been set up, waiting for the guests. Guo Sheng arrived relatively late, and did not arrive early on purpose, so the hall was already full of people.

After Guo Sheng arrived, a eunuch led him to the front of the palace. That was the position facing the emperor, and the Yun brothers and sisters were arranged on one side of him.

Such a conspicuous position is to let everyone see them. Guo Sheng sat down without any psychological burden and motioned the brother and sister to sit down as well.

Yun Yiduo had memories of her past life, and she was able to handle the role of a queen with ease, so she was naturally calm and composed in this scene. Yun Feiyang was a little nervous, but he was naturally mentally strong, so he was naturally fearless. Moreover, even if his expression changed, others would not be able to see it because he was wearing a mask.

Not long after the three of them sat down, they heard the eunuch outside the palace say loudly:

"Your Majesty has arrived, and Your Majesty the Queen has arrived."

Accompanied by the eunuchs' singing, there were sounds of people standing up, and then kneeling:

"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and a thousand years and a thousand years for the queen."

After everyone knelt down, they naturally saw the princes and princesses following behind the emperor and the queen, and they said one after another:

"May your highness the crown prince live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years, and may your highness the princess live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

When His Majesty and the Empress sat down in the main seats, the Crown Prince and the princesses also sat down. Then came His Majesty's opening remarks, saying that Guo Sheng had made an indelible contribution to the resistance against the enemy in the northern border, and a special palace banquet was held to comfort Guo Shaohou and celebrate the peace talks between Liushuo and Liushuo.

As Yun Yiduo listened, she used her small hands to take the delicious food on the table and put it into her mouth. After all, no one would notice what she was eating with Mu Li. Seeing this, Cen Song, who was standing aside, looked away somewhat unnaturally. He didn't recognize this little foodie. That wasn't his sister anymore.

After His Majesty finished speaking, everyone raised their glasses to congratulate Guo Sheng. At the same time, the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict sang along:

"Emissary Xuan Liushuo has come to see the emperor."

Along with the eunuch's voice, a young man in a long-haired suit and a long braid came in. He held a document in his hand and looked calm. He came to the front of the hall, holding the document in his left hand, and clenched his right fist in front of his chest and nodded slightly.

"Hu Yanlang, the prince of Liushuo Right Sage, greets His Majesty the Emperor of Zhongyuan."

Yun Yiduo looked at the envoy who had met Liu Shuo several times. It turned out that he was the son of the Right Wise King Hu Yanqing, the future Right Wise King. At this time, Hu Yanlang seemed to feel Yun Yiduo's gaze and smiled.

"I wonder if the prince has come to negotiate peace with sincerity?"

When His Majesty saw Hu Yanlang, he was displeased by his wild and unruly appearance. This was the Liushuo people, they were ambitious in their bones, so he did not believe that they would really negotiate peace.

"Your Majesty, my sincerity is that I have withdrawn my troops. And my Lord promised not to send troops to the Central Plains again, and to exchange 5,000 cattle and sheep for 5,000 kilograms of silk and cotton from the Central Plains every year. If Your Majesty still doesn't believe it, Hu Yanlang'er can stay in the Central Plains as a hostage."

Emperor Zhangde looked at Hu Yanlang with anger in his eyes, and Prime Minister Song Kuo, who caught his emotions at the first moment, spoke directly:

"Ridiculous, this is your sincerity, Liu Shuo. You have harassed my Guanshan Nineteen Cities so many times, and you have slaughtered Yuecheng so cruelly, and this is how you negotiate peace? No cession of land, no compensation, not even tribute. How can you expect my Central Plains cavalry to trample on your land, Liu Shuo?"

"Sir, if you are from the Central Plains, you can come to my Liushuo territory and try to see whether your Central Plains cavalry is stronger or my grassland horses are better."

Hu Yanlang showed no weakness in front of Prime Minister Song, and he looked like a soldier who had fought in the battlefield. However, Guo Sheng said with disdain:

"Hu Yanlang, are you so capable? When Liu Shuo marched, I didn't seem to see you. Could it be that the so-called Right Wise Prince is just a softie who can only be pushed out by Liu Shuo as a hostage?"

"You... Guo Sheng... you have the ability to compete with this prince."

"Humph, you're not qualified!"

Guo Sheng snorted coldly, not wanting to compete with this so-called Hu Yanlang. It took so many days from the northern border to Tianjing City, and this Hu Yanlang had been hiding his identity. Did he plan to do this in the Golden Palace from the beginning?

King Liushuo was ambitious, and his three princes were all brave and good at fighting. Attacking the Central Plains was an opportunity to make merit and also a chance to impress King Liushuo, so several princes participated.

In the battle of Luocheng, Cen Song defeated the little prince, and he had resisted Liushuo for several months, but he had never seen other princes. These people were not only good at fighting, but also very good at hiding. He had fought the most with the Right Xianwang Hu Yanqing, and he had never heard that he had any princes. So, could this person who called himself Yanlang be the prince of Liushuo?

"Guo Sheng!"

Hu Yanlang was angry and wanted to go over and fight with Guo Sheng. At this time, Yun Feiyang jumped up, stopped Hu Yanlang, and said softly:

"Sir, I, Yun Feiyang, will practice with you."

As he said this, he started fighting with Huyan Lang. Yun Feiyang was as light as a swallow, and his moves were unique. Huyan Lang was strong and powerful, and the two of them fought and received cheers from many generals. Emperor Zhangde, who was sitting in the main seat, looked at the young man in a soft gauze, and his eyes were moist. No matter when, the Yun people are so dazzling.
