The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Five days later, the sun was shining brightly, the weather was clear, the palace was decorated with lanterns and there was a festive and peaceful atmosphere. Today was the celebration banquet held by the court for the soldiers of the Northern Frontier, and all officials and their families were invited to the palace to attend the banquet.

Master Jiang brought his family into the palace. This was not the first time Jiang Li came to this place, but she was still very familiar with everything in the palace. After all, in her previous life, she had lived in this square city with red walls and yellow tiles for three whole years. However, after her rebirth, she stepped into this palace again, and she felt an inexplicable resistance in her heart.

As the family of a first-rank official, they could not refuse the opportunity to enter the palace. Moreover, this celebration banquet was held for the soldiers of the Northern Frontier, and her second brother was one of them, so she had to attend.

Walking into the hall, I saw that it was magnificent and gorgeously decorated. The palace maids were busy preparing the banquet. Many noble ladies from aristocratic families gathered in the hall. They were dressed in brocade and gorgeous clothes, laughing and chatting with each other.

Jiang Li quietly accompanied her mother, listening to the people around her talking and laughing. She noticed that the noble ladies looked at her from time to time, as if they were sizing her up. Despite this, she remained calm and indifferent, and did not communicate with anyone.

"Sister Li'er!" A crisp voice came, Jiang Li turned around and saw that it was Liu Jingyun, the eldest daughter of the Liu family. Liu Jingyun walked over quickly, her face filled with joy.

"Sister Li'er, I finally found you." Liu Jingyun said with a smile.

Jiang Li smiled slightly: "Sister Liu, long time no see."

Liu Jingyun held Jiang Li's hand and said excitedly, "Yes, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Today we can finally chat together."

The two smiled at each other and began to talk about trivial matters. In this lively occasion, their conversation seemed to become a unique landscape.

"Li'er!" Another familiar voice came, and Jiang Li turned around anxiously.

"Sister Mu, you are here. You look as handsome as ever today!" Jiang Li hugged Murong Xue happily. At this time, Murong Xue was wearing a black and red brocade robe, which made her look heroic. She never liked to wear women's clothes. Her usual tight-fitting outfit made Liu Jingyun next to her envious.

"Sister Li'er, who is this lady?" Liu Jingyun looked at Murong Xue with admiration.

"Oh, by the way. Sister Mu will introduce someone to you. This is Sister Jingyun, the legitimate daughter of Minister Liu. Sister Jingyun, this is General Murong Xue!" Jiang Li felt that it would be more appropriate to introduce Sister Mu or her position.

Liu Jingyun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he excitedly pointed his index finger at Murong Xue, speaking incoherently with excitement: "She...she...she is the famous female general?"

Seeing Liu Jingyun so excited, Murong Xue couldn't help but laugh and took the initiative to say, "Hello, Miss Liu, I'm Murong Xue!"

Liu Jingyun quickly responded: "Hello, I'm Liu Jingyun!" After the two got to know each other, they began to chat. The topics continued, as if there were endless things to say.

When the time came, everyone sat down at the designated seats. Most banquets in the Shang Dynasty were held by separate seats for men and women. So the Jiang family sat in the front. Liu Jingyun and the others sat slightly in the back. Murong Xue naturally followed the eldest princess, but she did not attend because of her advanced age, but her seat was very close to the front.

Not long after, the eunuch's voice of singing was heard.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

"The Prince Regent has arrived!"

"The Empress Defei has arrived"

"The queens from all the palaces have arrived!"

Following the eunuch's announcement, the emperor arrived with Mu Jiuchen and concubines from various palaces.

Everyone stood up to greet the emperor, and after the emperor sat down, he asked everyone to stand up and sit back in their seats.

Afterwards, the fourth prince of the Jin Dynasty also led a delegation into the palace to meet the emperor.

"Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Shang." The fourth prince of the Jin Dynasty brought envoys to pay their respects to Mu Jiurui. They put their right hands on their left chests and bowed.

"Fourth Prince, please stand up and take a seat!" Wanyan Yi and the envoy sat down.

The envoys from the Jin Dynasty respectfully read out the letters and gifts that their king had asked them to bring.

The attitude of the Xili Kingdom was very respectful and polite, and the gifts they brought were also carefully prepared, all of which were treasures unique to the Jin Kingdom.

The smile on the emperor's face grew deeper into his eyes.

"Good, good, good." The emperor laughed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. The Kingdom of Jin has another gift, which our country has prepared for Your Majesty personally. Please accept it!" said the envoy, stepping aside.

He clapped his hands toward the outside of the hall.

The emperor and everyone in the hall looked out of curiosity. What was the Jin Kingdom doing? How could a defeated country display itself in such a high-profile manner?

Jiang Li was also very curious, and saw the envoy pointing outside the hall with one hand. Mu Jiuchen was playing with the wine glass in his hand, seemingly unaffected.

A fragrant breeze blew into the hall.

It's not the kind of heavy incense, but light and ethereal, like the natural fragrance of delicate flowers blooming with dew in the early morning.

Smart and charming.

Everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath and savor the fragrance of the flowers.
