Chapter 84 The Engagement Banquet 1

A little speechless looking at his mother who was constantly smelling of wine, Du Long could only scratch his head in embarrassment, his mother is really powerful sometimes, seeing that even the seduction came out, he was really wronged!

"Obviously the princess seduced her, okay..." Du Long could only mutter to himself.

"Haha! Thinking about the news that the Supreme Emperor suddenly announced the gift of marriage just now, those old men's looks of astonishment are so funny, it's so damn cool!" Mr. Du couldn't help but said when he thought of the scene at the party just now: "Especially that old man of the Fan family, he changed his face at that time. It seems that the old emperor is already dissatisfied with him!"

"Has the Supreme Emperor started to distrust the Fan family?" Du Zhentian obviously caught the hidden meaning in the old man's words and asked.

"Hmph! What the surname Fan has done in recent years, blind people can see what ambition they have! It's just that there is no evidence! This time the old emperor bestowed marriage, in addition to attracting our loyal army, there are also The meaning of beating the Fan family depends on whether the old man is sensible, if he is sensible, he should know how to restrain himself!"

"That's right! In recent years, Fan's hand has stretched beyond the border. They think it's not enough to control the civilian officials, but they actually extended their hands to the military officials, and the surname Li has already been wooed by them. !” Du Zhentian nodded in response.

"Hey! It just so happens that Long'er has shown amazing talent in recent years, and that girl Huofeng begged hard, so the old emperor came here to make things easy for us, and it happened to take advantage of our Du family!" Old Master Du smiled smugly.

The conversation between father and grandfather moved Du Long's heart, "It seems that with his rebirth, history is changing. First of all, today's gift of marriage has faintly changed the balance of power at the top of the Haotian Empire!" ’ Du Mansion!

Several young people quickly gathered together, and even Du Caini who came back from the New Year's celebration followed. After Mrs. Du and Du Zhentian and his wife hurriedly gave them the New Year's money, they rushed to the family meeting hall.

Today the emperor bestowed a marriage, which is a big deal. The entire Du family's core first and second generations gathered together to discuss matters related to the engagement between Du Long and the princess in the first month of the lunar year!

This princess's engagement cannot be sloppy. From tomorrow onwards, the Du clan will have to mobilize the entire clan to start planning for the engagement banquet. There must be no mistakes in the whole process. If the imperial family is ashamed, then they deserve to die!

In this regard, although Du Long was the person involved, he didn't need to take care of this kind of matter. Several young people gathered in the other courtyard where they lived, continued to drink and celebrate the New Year.

Knowing that today Du Long was bestowed a marriage by the emperor, and married Princess Huofeng to the Du Mansion, after an engagement banquet will be held in the near future, Su Jinbao and Yuan Yu are naturally very happy for him. They have known each other for more than two months. It can be seen that Princess Huofeng cares for him, but it's really unexpected to get engaged so soon!

Although Xia Qinglian tried her best to appear very happy and congratulated Du Long from time to time, everyone could still see the faint disappointment in her eyes, but no one would speak to comfort her at this time.

In this kind of weird atmosphere, seeing the night getting darker, Du Caini winked at Su Yuan and the two of them, and the three of them found an excuse to leave the table and go to sleep together.

Xia Qinglian was about to get up and leave the table, but Du Long stopped her: "Qinglian! Come with me, I have something to talk to you alone!"

So, the two entered the wing room where Du Long lived, and after sitting down respectively, Du Long looked at the soft and weak beauty beside him with pity. Xia Qinglian gritted her teeth, squeezed out a smile and raised her head to meet him His gaze: "My lord! Is there anything you can do with Qinglian at such a late hour?"

Looking at the poor woman in front of him with a strong smile and buried infinite grievances in his heart, Du Long's heart ached for no reason, and he stretched out his hand involuntarily to pull her into his arms, and softly sighed: "Oh, you silly girl!"

In a simple sentence, Xia Qinglian could no longer control her emotions, and the tears poured out uncontrollably, wet the front of Du Long's chest on the spot.

His right hand gently patted the twitching girl in his arms, Du Long didn't speak, and let her cry happily, after a long time, feeling that Biren in his arms finally calmed down, he said: "Silly girl! Do you feel better after crying?"

Shamelessly buried her head in Du Long's arms, Xia Qinglian raised her head in embarrassment, Du Long then continued to laugh and said, "Actually, tonight I went to the imperial garden with Princess Huofeng to chat for a long time. I even mentioned you specifically!"

Feeling the tightness of the body in his arms, Du Long knew that this girl obviously cared about this sentence, so he didn't keep it up, and continued: "Huofeng also understands the relationship between us, saying that she is very happy to have a good sister like you. happy!"

"Is it true? Master didn't lie to you?" Xia Qinglian raised her head to reveal her tear-stained beautiful face: "With Qinglian's unbearable status, if the princess despises you, I am willing to be your servant. , as long as Qinglian can stay with the young master forever, Qinglian will not ask for anything more!"

"Hey! Qinglian, why are you ashamed of yourself?" Du Long looked at her tear-stained face with a bit of distress and said, "Don't take it to heart what others think! In short, in my Du Long heart, you It will always be the flawless jade, the most beautiful! You must have confidence that with your talent, you will shine in this world as soon as possible!"

"Whether Qinglian can shine is all given by the young master. Qinglian is afraid that she will not be able to repay the young master's great kindness in this lifetime. She only wishes to be a slave and handmaid for the rest of her life to repay the young master's great kindness!"

On the sixth day of the first lunar month in 1007 in the star calendar, today is the day when Princess Huofeng and Du Long get engaged.

Early in the morning, Du Long was dragged up and tossed about before dawn. Compared with the New Year's celebration, it was definitely countless times miserable. That suit of concubine's outfit was too particular, even how much hair should be combed. You must be informal in accordance with the requirements of the etiquette officer sent by the palace!

Su Jinbao and Yuan Yu were woken up by the noisy noise in the yard. After getting up and washing up, they ran out. The good brothers were engaged, so they went to find Yue Xiaoshan and others to prepare presents together!

Du Caini came here early in the morning to take Xia Qinglian away, and went out to find a group of girlfriends. Last night, she received Du Long's instruction that she would stay by Qinglian's side the whole time today, so that this sentimental girl would not have to do anything while she was idle. Think about it and think about it.

After a complicated process, Du Long, the son-in-law, was finally tidied up. He was wearing a red and purple python suit, a jasper belt around his waist, and a purple gold crown on his head. He was obviously taller and more energetic.

Surrounded by everyone, he left the gate of the Du Mansion. A team of elite family members from the Du Mansion had long been waiting outside the gate to greet the relatives. A palace official brought a purebred white horse to him. Respectfully said: "The auspicious time is approaching, please rush to the palace to pick up the princess as soon as possible!"

Nodding his head, Du Long got on his horse unceremoniously, and after saying hello to his family and friends, he rode on a tall steed and led the welcoming team towards the palace!

When he came to the main entrance of the palace, it was already high in the sun, and under the reflection of the rising sun, the wedding party went straight to the right side door and walked towards the main hall of the palace. Finally, all the wedding team stopped outside the Meridian Gate, and Du Long, the son-in-law, came out of the palace. Surrounded by the welcoming officials and maids, they arrived at the Qiankun Palace all the way!

At this moment, the Qiankun Palace is full of royal family members. The emperor sits high on the dragon and phoenix seat, the harem concubines are sitting on the left side, and the princes, county kings and other royal family members are sitting on the right side!
