"Auntie, is this heaven? This is so beautiful!"

Bai Erniang looked at the red walls and high tiles, the small bridges and flowing water around them, and the huge room filled with many valuable furnishings.

Even the clothes worn by the girls who brought them were incredibly beautiful.

Ding was also dazzled by these things. She was dizzy all the way and even felt that one pair of eyes was not enough.

After a while, the palace maids changed their clothes and brought them out and handed them over to Heiya and Baimei. On the other side, Huo Gang and others also came out, looking confused.

"I asked for a long time, but they didn't say anything," Bai Erniang looked at Bai Mei and asked, "Where is this? Who brought us here?"

Baimei and Heiya bowed and said respectfully, "This is the imperial palace. I have been ordered to bring you to the palace banquet."

"Oh my god! Oh my god!"

Xia Wude's head buzzed so fast that he almost fainted from excitement. He looked at Baimei and asked, "It must be Qingqing, right? It must be Qingqing. After all, she is the princess now, so she definitely has the right."

Mrs. Ding asked, "Really? Will an old woman like me bring shame to her?"

Bai Erniang immediately said, "Auntie, what are you talking about? You're still watching..."

Only Huo An's mouth twitched behind them. This second-in-command was really bold. He actually kidnapped them secretly. He was scared to death.

If he hadn't seen the two people in front of him wearing military uniforms, he would have thought it was his sister-in-law who invited them.

Then again, my sister-in-law wouldn't scare my parents like that.

Only a scoundrel like Lao Er could do such a ridiculous thing.

But why are the corners of his eyes wet?

The second child has made progress, he should be happy, why is he crying?

The celebration banquet was held in the Chimelong Hall of the Imperial Palace. There was a huge area outside the Chimelong Hall, which was filled with tables and chairs.

This time, in addition to the ministers of the palace, all the officials in the military camp were invited, so the number of people was huge, and almost all the palace maids and eunuchs were used.

Just for this palace banquet, just for the celebration banquet for regaining the vassal state.

The current emperor is very happy. This is the first vassal state, which has never happened in history. This will be a highlight in history books, and he will be praised by the world.

It would be strange if I wasn't happy.

In another palace, Xia Qingqing sat upright in a chair, resting her eyes. A palace maid walked in and said, "Xia County Magistrate, this is the official uniform sent by Lord Liu Yicha. He said it was tailor-made for you. You will need to wear it and join them at the table."

Xia Qingqing looked up and saw that the official was also wearing a black official uniform, but with red fabric added on it. The embroidery on the chest was obviously made by an excellent embroiderer.

It was embroidered with a colorful bird with its wings spread. It wasn't a phoenix, but it looked somewhat similar.

The black gauze hat is not all black like other officials', but also has red added, and there is a beautiful lotus flower next to the ear.

It looks really good together.

With the help of the palace maid, Xia Qingqing put on her official uniform, which drew praise from the young palace maid.

"Xia County Magistrate looks so handsome and elegant in this outfit. He is so stylish."

Xia Qingqing had a very beautiful appearance, with a cold and sober look. When she walked out of the palace dressed in this masculine way, she immediately attracted the attention of many palace maids.

"Is this the female county magistrate? She's so beautiful."

"Oh my god, this guy is even more charming than this year's top scholar. I love him so much..."

Liu Yicha was also surprised when he saw Xia Qingqing's outfit, and then he immediately adjusted himself and took her into the venue with the officials.

The ninth rank official is the lowest and last among all the officials, but Xia Qingqing has a title bestowed by the emperor, so naturally she cannot stand at the end.

And he didn't know who to sit at the same table with. Just when he was at a loss, Chunshou, who was beside His Majesty, came.

He smiled kindly at Xia Qingqing, who immediately feigned surprise and said, "Uncle Chunshou? You, you look so handsome today."

Chunshou was delighted by Xia Qingqing's flattery and said with a smile, "Long time no see, County Magistrate Xia. I have brought the emperor's decree for you to dine beside her."

"Ah? This is a great grace," Liu Yicha said quickly, turning around, "Hurry up and follow Eunuch Chunshou. Don't delay."

Led by Eunuch Chunshou, Xia Qingqing walked among the many officials to the table in the middle of the platform.

This position is usually occupied by the emperor, empress, meritorious ministers, and officials of the highest rank.

It's strange today that she, a ninth-rank official, was allowed to sit down.

"Eunuch Chunshou, I brought you some seafood. I left it in Xihe Palace and gave it to Sister Yunxia. She will help me deliver it to you later."

Chun Shou smiled brightly upon hearing this: "Oh, Mr. Xia, you're still thinking of me. I'm so touched..."

He is a rootless person, and it feels great to have someone thinking about him.

Suddenly, his tears stopped, and he suddenly realized, "Master Xia has known for a long time that I am a member of the palace. He is indeed smart."

Xia Qingqing didn't admit it, but she didn't deny it either. She just smiled.

While they were talking, everyone was seated. Chunshou was called away, and soon his voice was heard.

"Your Majesty has arrived."

Fourth Master Jiang, dressed in a yellow robe, looked majestic, followed by several people. Xia Qingqing saw Huo Yihan at a glance.

He looks so handsome today.

He wore a purple official robe that accentuated his slender figure. The frost on his face had healed a lot thanks to the ointment she had given him, but his complexion hadn't recovered as quickly.

The two looked into each other's eyes, their affectionate gazes filled with love.

"See Your Majesty."

Everyone knelt down and worshipped with great fanfare.

"Flat body."

Xia Qingqing moved to the side and waited for His Majesty to take a seat.

The others also accompanied him. Jiang Xiaosi smiled and quickly sat down, holding out his hand and said, "Everyone, please sit down. Miss Qingqing, please sit next to me."

"Yi Hou, you sit down too..."

Bai Erniang and the others in the corner sat down and looked hard, but they couldn't see anything clearly. Finally, they said helplessly: "This place is too big. I can't see what Your Majesty looks like."

"Hehe, I can't see even more." Xia Wude smiled foolishly. He really wanted to look around, but was afraid of embarrassing Qingqing, so he just sat there.

"The one sitting next to His Majesty is Qingqing." Although Huo An couldn't see clearly, he saw the officials when they just came in. They followed an old eunuch and went to His Majesty's seat.

"Huh? Really?"

Huo Gang and Ding squinted their eyes for a long time but couldn't see clearly. Suddenly, the eunuch's shrill voice was heard.

"Give me wine."

Soon, the palace maids and eunuchs around came forward and filled the glasses of wine for the soldiers and civil and military officials. Then His Majesty slowly stood up.

"You soldiers are the pride of our Great Xia Nation. I offer you a toast."

After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.

With tears in their eyes, the soldiers picked up their cups and drank, shouting: "Long live the Great Xia for thousands of years, and long live His Majesty!"
