Chapter 85 Engagement Banquet 2

Du Long didn't dare to be negligent, he strode to the seat of dragon and phoenix and saluted respectfully: "My son-in-law pays homage to the emperor and empress!"

"My virtuous son-in-law, let's live in peace!" The emperor looked at the handsome Du Long with admiration, with a faint smile on his face, he had obviously accepted this son-in-law!

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Queen!" Du Long saluted respectfully again before standing up.

"Come here! Hurry up and invite the princess!" The emperor said loudly to the ceremony officer beside him with a smile.

"yes!"

Soon, court officials hurried out of the hall, and not long after, they led a group of maids and appeared outside the hall surrounded by a fiery red figure.

As early as the moment the son-in-law entered the palace, someone reported his whereabouts to the Princess Palace. Princess Huofeng had already rushed to the Qiankun Palace under the guidance of the court officials. She and Du Long arrived here. is calculated.

Above the main hall, Du Long turned to face Princess Huofeng who entered the hall. His eyes were quickly attracted by the little princess, because this was an engagement rather than a marriage, so Princess Huofeng was dressed very elegantly, but she was also dressed in red The Fengguan Xiapei is a bit more mature and charming than usual!

A gentleman stretched out his right arm to her, and Princess Huofeng shyly put her jade hand on Du Long's arm, and the two of them strode down towards the dragon and phoenix seat under the gaze of countless pairs of fiery eyes in the hall.

"What a pair of golden boy and jade girl! Our precious princess has really good eyesight!" The queen looked at the pair of Bi people in the hall, and couldn't help but turned to the emperor with a smile. The emperor nodded with a smile, obviously agreeing with the queen's evaluation.

The concubine sitting first on the lower left at the bottom pouted her lips with disdain. She is the first concubine under the empress in the harem. Her surname is Fan. She is the youngest daughter of the second generation of the Fan family. She has always been at odds with the empress. Obviously, he didn't care much about today's marriage.

"I am grateful to my father and mother for the kindness of nurturing over the years!" Under the hall, Princess Huofeng knelt down on the ground with red eyes, and saluted the elders.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the Empress for handing over the princess to your son-in-law!" Du Long followed the princess and knelt down, and soon a court official brought two court ladies with two tea trays to lead the consort to follow the princess. The front offered tea to the emperor and the empress.

Although today is just an engagement wedding, it is no different from a married woman. According to the rules of this world, after getting engaged, you will be the man's person!

It was also because of this that both the emperor and the empress showed some reluctance on their faces. Even if the baby princess married not far away, she was married after all!

"Okay, okay! Feng'er is finally grown up and going to get married! From now on, remember not to be unruly and self-willed, and get along well with your son-in-law!" After drinking the tea offered by the two with red eyes, the queen couldn't help but sigh. Confessed while holding the baby girl's hand.

The queen was there to confess to the princess, and the emperor was not idle. He looked at Du Long threateningly and said, "Stinky boy! This time, I will take advantage of you. Remember, if you dare to make the princess suffer any grievances, I will definitely take you It's asking!"

Facing the emperor's blatant threat, Du Long could only smile helplessly and said: "My son-in-law dare not!"

After some admonitions, Du Long led Princess Huofeng to bid farewell to the Empress, and then, under their watchful eye, left the Qiankun Palace, joined the wedding party, and hurried all the way to Du's Mansion.

After going back and forth, it was almost noon when the team arrived outside the gate of Du's mansion. According to the customs of this world, noon is a good time. The gate of Du's mansion was already crowded with countless spectators. They also greeted them from the Du mansion.

Just kidding, this is the princess's engagement banquet, who dares to stay in the mansion without coming out to greet her, after a ceremony, Princess Huofeng was welcomed into the mansion by everyone!

At this moment, the square in front of the main hall of the Du Mansion was already full of people. Officials at all levels living in the capital came to congratulate him, and many of Du Long's classmates and tutors from the Royal Academy were invited to come.

Even the Fan family, Li family, and Zhao family who had always been at odds with the Du family all came to congratulate the princess on her new engagement. This engagement banquet is not only a joyous event for the Du family, but also a great joyous event for the royal family. Who would dare not come?

In the crowd, Xia Qinglian was staying with Du Caini and a group of friends. She actually ignored it last night. She was very grateful that Du Long was able to mention her affairs to Princess Huofeng on the night the emperor bestowed her marriage !

Since her identity is doomed not to be the main wife of Du's grandson, Mr. Du Long can marry a woman who will treat her well in the future, which already makes her very satisfied!

After all, such is the custom of this world!

In the main hall of the Du Mansion, the two newlyweds finished worshiping their ancestors together and offered tea to Mr. Du and Du Zhentian and his wife. The complicated wedding ceremony finally reached the most critical step. Only then did the chief officer hold a golden booklet and walked to the main seat in the main hall.

Including the entire Du family, as well as a group of guests and friends fell to their knees, everyone knew that the main event was coming!

"The emperor has a decree! Today, Princess Huofeng and Du Long have a happy marriage, and I will bestow the first-class viscount title on Du Ma, and the fief of Fengli County in Xigu Prefecture! Thank you!" Proclamation, Du Long's family naturally bowed down to thank them, and finally Du Long stepped forward to receive the imperial edict gold book in person!

At this point, the entire engagement banquet process was basically over, and the rest was the engagement banquet. Under Du Zhentian's warm invitation, all the guests and friends were seated one after another. Countless waiters had already served wine and food, and the scene was extremely lively.

"Grandpa! This grandson of Xiguzhou knows that it is a state capital near the Forest of Monster Beasts, but I have never heard of Fengli County. Is there insufficient oil and water there?" On the main seat, Du Long looked puzzled He asked in a low voice to his grandfather sitting beside him.

"Hehe, you bastard!" Mr. Du couldn't laugh or cry at the blunt words of his precious grandson, so he could only respond helplessly: "This place in Fengli County, if you want to talk about oil and water...it's really not good! "

"Isn't it? Doesn't my father-in-law, the emperor, not love Princess Huofeng? He actually gave a fief with no oil and water, so the princess will live in poverty with me in the future?" Du Long couldn't help but rolled his eyes and muttered : "When I first went to the palace to pick up the princess, I saw the emperor's expression of reluctance. I thought he loved Xiaofeng so much! Are all the feelings fake?"

"Stinky boy! You can't talk nonsense!" Mr. Du hurriedly stopped him from talking nonsense, and said in a low voice: "Although there is not much water in Fengli County, the place is not small! If it is calculated according to the size of the land, it is in Hao It will definitely rank among the top five in Heavenly Empire!"

"Oh? In such a big county, why is there so little money?" Du Long asked with some doubts.

"Fengli County is the county seat closest to the Forest of Monster Beasts in Xiguzhou. Most of the county's territory extends into the Forest of Monster Beasts. The nearby villages and towns are often invaded by monsters. Therefore, the local population is relatively small. , Correspondingly, the tax revenue will be less, so it can be regarded as a county with less oil and water!"

"Since that's the case, why did the emperor grant me such a land without oil and water? Depressed!"

"Hehe, it must be that your father-in-law thinks highly of you and wants you to work hard to make this poor place in Fengli County rich!"

puff!

The grandfather and grandson were muttering to the side, and Princess Huofeng came over curiously at some point, and couldn't help laughing on the spot when she heard it.

"Ah! Xiaofeng, you are not kind, you actually eavesdropped on others..." Du Long was shocked by the sudden laughter of Princess Huofeng. shouted.

In Star Continent, after the emperor married the princess, the salary originally due to the princess was stopped. In order to prevent the princess from living in poverty, he usually gave the consort a fief, which still belonged to the country!
