I traveled through time and space and became the favorite of Her Royal Highness the Princess
Chapter 87 Homecoming Banquet
The return banquet was held in the Imperial Garden.
Early June is the season when lotus flowers are in full bloom. The vast Taiye Lake is covered in layers of lotus leaves, covering the entire surface of the water. The white and pink lotus flowers sway gracefully in the breeze, creating a breathtaking beauty...
Mu Lingshuang was afraid that Fang Yuanqi would be nervous, so she dragged him to the edge of the pool to admire it for a while before leaving.
By the time they arrived, quite a few guests had already arrived.
According to ancestral rules, most of the guests attending the princess's return banquet are royal relatives and the wedding ceremonial officials.
However, Mu Lingshuang's situation is a little different. She is a princess and also a general who is feared by all.
Therefore, in addition to those people, there were also many military generals at the banquet.
These military generals are not as convoluted as the civil officials, but are honest and lovable.
Although they felt that the Marquis of Loyalty looked a little pretentious and unworthy of their general, they sincerely congratulated him after seeing that their general truly loved her husband.
For a moment, it was a happy scene.
Accompanied by a voice:
"The Emperor is here, the Queen is here!"
Those who were chatting and laughing just now all knelt on the ground.
"Get up, today is Rong An's homecoming banquet, everyone should be more relaxed and don't be restrained."
The Emperor of Qi said a few simple polite words, and then the singer began to enter.
As the sound of orchestral music began, the atmosphere became relaxed again.
The princess's return banquet is actually also a reward banquet for the prince consort's family.
As the saying goes, when one person succeeds, the whole family will prosper. When the prince consort becomes the emperor's son-in-law, everyone in his family can benefit from it to some extent.
However, Fang Yuanqi was the only one among the consorts with a clean family background. When the Emperor of Qi wanted to reward her, her family members could not reach her, so he could only give the reward to herself.
"For his loyalty to the emperor and his patriotism, and his friendship and respect for the princess, the imperial consort, Fang Yuanqi, is specially awarded one hundred pieces of red silk, a pair of jade ruyi (ruyi-shaped ornaments), one hundred pairs of silverware, one thousand taels of gold, and a blue dragon token."
As Manager Li nodded, the expressions of the people below gradually became one of disbelief.
As they were officials in the court, they were naturally well-informed.
They all had a vague idea of what happened in the suburbs of Beijing yesterday.
Knowing that this son-in-law is an expert in agriculture, His Majesty appointed him the Minister of Agriculture yesterday, a second-rank official position.
With such promising young age, his future is naturally limitless.
In addition, they had made great contributions yesterday, so they could understand that today's reward was a bit greater, but they could never have imagined this Azure Dragon Order.
With the Azure Dragon Order in hand, one can meet the emperor without bowing. There are only two in the entire Da Qi, one is in the Fourth Princess's Mansion, and the other is now in the Princess's Mansion.
From this, we can see how much His Majesty values the Fourth Princess and her husband.
However, no one objected to this. Anyone who could attend the highest-level banquet was not a fool, and they all knew what Qi's current shortcomings were.
Only when productivity can be improved can Qi become truly prosperous and strong, and can it join the ranks of first-class powers and be on par with giants such as Luo, Jiang, and An.
The Prince Consort has a method to increase production, so naturally he will be valued. That's understandable, but isn't a thousand taels of gold enough? This Azure Dragon Order...
The people below had different expressions. Only Fang Yuanqi, the main person, didn't know how great the reward was. When he heard that his father was giving him more gold, he hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
"Thank you, Father!"
Since yesterday, the diligent and people-loving Emperor Qi has become much more pleasing to Fang Yuanqi.
The little girl is quite capable and is a perfect match for his Rong An. Not bad, not bad.
"Yuan Qi, there's no need to be so polite. You've made great contributions this time, so I'll naturally reward you handsomely. I hope you can continue to serve the country and don't let me down." The Emperor of Qi said with a smile.
Fang Yuanqi, who got the gold, also responded respectfully:
"I will do my utmost to help Your Majesty with his worries and difficulties."
"Good good!"
Seeing that the Emperor of Qi was very pleased, the ministers present also congratulated Fang Yuanqi.
They all understood what Fang Yuanqi's award meant.
He expected that this imperial consort would definitely receive more attention from the emperor in the future, and for a moment he looked at Fang Yuanqi with some eagerness.
Whether it is the famous Fourth Princess or the prince consort who is quite proficient in agriculture, they are both worthy of their friendship.
But the princess has a bad reputation and she is a female member of the family, so it is inconvenient to make friends with her. Well, the main reason is that they are afraid of the fourth princess's big golden hammer.
So everyone set their sights on Fang Yuanqi.
Fang Yuanqi didn't know what everyone was thinking, but he was in a good mood in the face of everyone's congratulations.
She was just a little embarrassed when someone raised a toast to her, because she had promised Gou Sisi on the way here that she would not drink.
Just as she was struggling with how to refuse without losing face, Mu Lingshuang, who had remained silent all this time, took the wine glass from her hand and drank it all in one gulp:
"The Prince Consort is injured and cannot drink. I will take his place."
However, her action scared the people who came to toast her so much that they wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads and said repeatedly:
"I dare not, I respect your Highness the Princess."
Mu Lingshuang responded and looked at the person holding the wine glass behind her. The meaning in her eyes was very clear: If you want to drink, come to me!
For a moment, both the civil officials and the military generals were a little hesitant. They were just toasting and wanted to get closer to the princess, but why did they feel that there was something wrong with the way the princess looked at them?
Your Highness, don’t you think they are here to cause trouble?
The person in front had already arrived, so he had no choice but to raise his glass. The person behind him quietly slipped away when the two of them were not paying attention.
The Emperor of Qi and the Empress, who were sitting in high positions, watched this scene with a smile on their faces. They felt that their daughter had grown up and knew how to take care of others, and they were filled with relief.
After the banquet in the inner court ended, all the civil and military officials left tactfully.
Only our own family members and those who are slightly more distantly related to us (those worthless royal relatives) are left.
After Mu Lingshuang introduced Fang Yuanqi to everyone one by one, the return banquet was officially over.
