Son, he doesn't want to divorce

Chapter 341 The official meeting
Regarding the whereabouts of the eldest princess, they also arranged for people to search, but there was still no movement.

Tracing back to the source for a long time, the high priest said before his death that the eldest princess should be in Daqi, and Long Lin would arrange to come here.

"Third brother, if the elder sister cannot be found this time, the empress father can only leave with regret, and there will be no chance to see the elder sister again in this life." The fifth prince sighed.

The princes in Xilin are all called according to the title of prince, and will only be named king after the new emperor ascends the throne.

It can be said that the status of the princes is indeed quite different.

But fortunately, the empress treats them well, unlike Prince Gong who treats her son as a pawn, only her daughter can speak in front of him a little bit, at least on the surface.

"So this time our task is very difficult. If the eldest sister is really in Daqi, we must find her and bring her back to meet the queen." The second prince said in a deep voice.

The fourth prince nodded, "It's about time. If there is no other way, you can seek the help of Emperor Renxiao. Although he is old, he is on the throne, and he will not refuse this proposal. They are not friendly, the northern barbarians are also making moves, and the attitude of the southern border is unknown."

"In that case, let's go. I also want to meet the son of the Zhenbeihou Mansion. I heard that he is a very outstanding young man." The Seventh Prince laughed.

The Seventh Prince is the youngest, about the same age as Gu Hanzhang. He has heard a lot of rumors about Gu Hanzhang in Xilin, so he is also somewhat interested in him and wants to meet him.

The second prince nodded in response, "Okay, then let's set off now."

At the same time, Gu Hanzhang and Chaoli's carriage had already stopped at the gate of the palace, and they also entered the palace after checking.

The palace banquet tonight is different from the palace banquet a few months ago. There are not so many people entering the palace, and the requirements are slightly higher.

However, Chaolu also came today, maybe the officials of the Ministry of Rites looked at Gu Hanzhang's relationship when they drew up the list.

Because it is a banquet for envoys, the table used is relatively long, and the dishes and drinks must be richer. Also, men and women sit separately, with men on the left and women on the right.

Chaoli and Gu Hanzhang arrived relatively late, at least [-]% of the people were already seated.

This kind of banquet means that the later the person arrives, the more honorable they are, so Gu Hanzhang and Chao Li have a tacit understanding and choose to arrive at a slightly later time.

Due to physical reasons, the queen mother will not be present tonight, and the queen is the only one beside Emperor Renxiao.

Gu Hanzhang sent Chaoli to the seat of the female relatives, and then turned to go to the seat of the male.

"A Li, A Li."

As soon as Chao Li sat down, she didn't even have time to look at the people around her, when she suddenly heard someone calling her from behind.

Turning around, it turned out to be Lin Shanshan.

"Shanshan is here too." Chao Li smiled.

Lin Shanshan's position was obliquely behind Chaoli's position, and behind Chaoli was another lady, who seemed to be the daughter of a first-rank minister, otherwise she wouldn't be next to Lin Shanshan, but Chaoli didn't know her.

When Chao Li's eyes fell on the young lady behind him, the young lady gave Chao Li a friendly smile.

Chaoli also smiled back, and turned his gaze back to Lin Shanshan.

Lin Shanshan also whispered to Chaoli, "I'm bored in the mansion these days, and you're not in the capital, so you can only stay at home every day. But I heard that you're coming today, so I'm here too, and I want to talk to you .”

Hearing this, Chao Li smiled even more.

At this moment, she suddenly found that Lin Shanshan had some changes compared to before, the most obvious one was that her cheeks seemed to be smaller.

Taking advantage of the fact that the banquet has not officially started yet, Chaoli simply got up and bent down, walked to Lin Shanshan and sat down.

"Shanshan, I think you have changed a lot during this time, have you lost a lot of weight?" Chao Li asked.

When Chaoli mentioned this, Lin Shanshan felt a little embarrassed.

"Speaking of which, it was Ms. Huang who helped me before. She prepared some medicinal food for me, and I was able to lose a lot of weight. But now the effect of the medicine can only reach this point. It was like this two days ago, and there is no change now. " Lin Shanshan replied.

At this point in Lin Shanshan's words, Chaoli suddenly thought of Ruoruo. Since Ruoruo is good at medicine, maybe she can help.

Although Huang Ying prepared some medicinal meals, her medical skills should not be as good as Ruoruo's.

"Shanshan, there is a person beside me who is very skilled in medicine. I'll go and ask you to see if there is any way to lose weight." Chao Li said.

"That would be great, I hope I can match Cheng Feng's appearance." Lin Shanshan said honestly, "I also thought about whether Cheng Feng and I are suitable before, maybe I don't necessarily like him in my heart, it's just a kind of obsession. Nian. However, my marriage with him is about to be finalized, and I am sure that I like him."

Chaoli was taken aback, but he didn't expect that after leaving Beijing, he would get news that Cheng Feng and Lin Shanshan's good deeds were approaching. Since Lin Shanshan insisted, she naturally wouldn't say anything more.

"It's okay, you can decide for yourself."

The two of them were talking, and the entire banquet venue became more and more lively, and it seemed that it was about to start.

Chaoli got up and returned to her seat, waiting for Emperor Renxiao to arrive.

As the singing sounded, Emperor Renxiao walked into the banquet venue in a dragon robe, and everyone greeted him immediately.

Emperor Ren Xiao and the empress came together. After all, he and the empress have been married for many years. On such an occasion, it is natural to give the empress some face.

"You don't have to be polite, tonight is to cleanse the six princes from Xilin, everyone just accompany them." Emperor Renxiao said with a smile.

Since Xilin came to Daqi on his own initiative, it must be because he wanted to make good friends with them. It just so happened that the Beiman and the Xiongnu were all eyeing Daqi, and if they made friends with Xilin, there would be one less enemy.

Therefore, Emperor Renxiao also made the Ministry of Rites bother with today's reception.

The courtiers should agree with Emperor Renxiao's words, but all of them stretched their necks to look at the entrance, and they haven't seen the envoys from Xilin yet.

Xilin is no stranger to the courtiers of Daqi, but many courtiers look down on Xilin.

Not for anything else, just because Xilin is a woman who rules the world.

In the eyes of Daqi people, women are just an object in the back house, how can they give advice in the court?

It's just that disdain can only be kept in the heart, no one will really say something inappropriate.

Chaoli silently tightened her right hand, and her eyes were also on the entrance. Later, the envoys from Xilin would walk in from there, and she could also see several of her uncles.

At this moment, the eunuch at the entrance sang loudly.

"The envoys of the West Lin Kingdom have an audience!"

Everyone's eyes fell on the door, and everyone sat up straight, wanting to see what men are like in a country where women are respected.

More than a dozen people walked in at the entrance, besides the six princes, their princes and concubines also entered, bowing and saluting at the same time.

"I have seen the emperor."
