Strategy of Prince's Concubine's Rebellion

Chapter 1663

Murong Chen held Lu Ziqing's hand and walked step by step to the center of the hall.

The two of them were dressed in wedding clothes and decorated all over, looking luxurious and graceful.

Yes, all the wealth of the Great Chu State now belongs to them.

How could it not be luxurious, how could it not be graceful?
"Greetings to the newcomer!"

The old eunuch shouted sharply, and everyone at the palace banquet stood up.

They all knew the rules of the Great Yan Kingdom. First, the newlyweds would thank all the guests, and then they would worship the heavens, the earth, and their parents.

Miss Lu's biological mother has passed away. Her old father has always looked down on her background and was unwilling to travel a long distance, so he stayed in Yunzhou City on the grounds of illness.

Fortunately, his Lu family sent Prime Minister Lu to support the family. He can be regarded as an elder brother like a father, and it also gives face to the Murong family.

But His Highness Prince Chen, his parents have passed away long ago.

My brother is already the emperor of Northern Yan and has not been in good health, so it is naturally impossible for him to leave Yunzhou City easily. Unfortunately, General Zhenyuan was angered and left by him.

I really don't know who I should worship when I pay my respects to my parents.

Do I need to worship a tablet?

Everyone was thinking about it in their minds, when suddenly the whole hall fell silent.

The old eunuch was sweating with anxiety: "What's going on? Where are the wines that His Highness and the Princess offered to thank the guests?"

Princess Yingxue, who had retreated to the corner of the hall, sneered.

Lu Ziqing had been looking forward to this wedding banquet for so long, how could she possibly let it go wrong?

And it's such an obvious mistake?

Sure enough, Lu Ziqing smiled, cleared her throat, and said softly, "Today is a happy day. The palace servants are all very busy. If something goes wrong, there is no need to punish them."

As soon as these words were spoken, a burst of whispers rang out in the palace, with everyone praising the future princess of Southern Yan for being so magnanimous and tolerant, saying that it was a blessing for Southern Yan and that she was far superior to the Princess of Chu who only knew how to seduce people.

Then, Lu Ziqing intimately held Murong Chen's arm, her voice soft as if she was discussing something, yet loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Your Highness, I see Sister Xue'er holding a wine tray, why not let Sister Xue'er serve the wine.

On the one hand, it is a gift from the former Chu State to the now powerful Great Yan State, and on the other hand, it also preserves the friendship between me and Sister Xueer."

The guests at the banquet whispered to each other again, all praising the future princess for her thoughtful consideration.

This……

Murong Chen glanced at Princess Yingxue in the corner. Her pretty face was cold and stubborn.

He was about to say something when he saw Princess Yingxue coming out with a wine tray.

There happened to be two cups of Yunchun wine on the wine tray.

Lu Ziqing smiled: "Thank you very much, sister. In the future, I will work with the other beauties to serve Your Highness well and give birth to many children for Your Highness. Don't worry, sister."

Many ministers have begun to feel uncomfortable with the future Princess of Southern Yan being so polite to a prisoner and a man's plaything.

Prime Minister Lu gave Master Lu Si a look, and Master Lu Si immediately slammed the table and stood up.

"The Great Chu died a long time ago, don't you know who you are?
Do I have to stand there and offer wine to the Lord and Princess of Southern Yan?"

The other ministers all spoke in unison: "Yes, a slave from a conquered country, relying on his good looks, stands taller than the princess!"

"You are so rude in such a big occasion. I wonder how you are spoiled by His Royal Highness Prince Chen in private. Do you think you can surpass the master of the harem?"

"Prime Minister, your family members are here, please don't let our Yan Kingdom's gentle and generous princess suffer in silence."

Prime Minister Lu stood up straight and said, "Don't worry, everyone. Your Highness is not a vulgar man who is deceived by beauty. Your Highness knows his limits."

As soon as the voice fell, everyone looked at Murong Chen, and Lu Ziqing also looked at him tenderly. "Your Highness, I know that Sister Xue'er is the one you love most. Today is a big day. Since Sister doesn't like formalities, then you can spare Sister the gift."

As Lu Ziqing spoke, she pretended to take a step forward and wanted to grab the wine cup, but was pulled back by Murong Chen.

One is tall and strong, the other is gentle and petite, and with this pull, the two of them just snuggle together.

This was the first time in Lu Ziqing’s life that she was held in a man’s arms.

Her face flushed, her eyes filled with tears: "Your Highness..."

Murong Chen's voice was also gentler than usual: "You are the princess, and also my wife. She offers you wine, so you must kneel. This is the rule and you must obey it."

Murong Chen looked at Princess Yingxue fiercely: "This king has always disliked servants who don't know the rules."

Servant!

Don’t know the rules?

How could Xiang Yingxue not hear the threat in these words?
Except for his mother, his elder brother, and his half-siblings, almost all of the Xiang family's close relatives were in Yongchun City.

How can I not kneel when someone asks me to?

She smiled bitterly, clenched the corner of her clothes tightly in her hands, and slowly, slowly knelt down.

She knelt in front of the man who once claimed that he loved her forever, and also in front of the woman who had tried to murder her time and again but was now holding her former man's arm tenderly and intimately.

What a perfect couple!

Lord Lu looked at the Fourth Young Master with great satisfaction. The other guests at the banquet were also very satisfied, as if they had finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt a lot more at ease.

However, Lu Ziqing took two steps back in surprise, as if she had not expected Princess Yingxue to be like this. Her whole body trembled slightly and she almost fell down.

Murong Chen hurried over to support her: "My beloved, are you okay?"

My beloved!

Princess Yingxue raised her head, and for the first time, there was a ripple in her eyes.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am fine.

But from this morning till now, I have been busy dressing up and have hardly drunk any water or eaten anything.

I was just surprised by my sister Xueer again. I didn’t expect that my sister, who has always been spoiled, would do such a great gift, so…”

This one sentence caused a renewed burst of slightly angry discussions.

This time, Lord Lu did not give him a look, so Young Master Lu Si spoke up on his own: "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and offer wine to His Highness and the Princess. If you miss the auspicious time, I will show you how I will deal with you later!"

After saying that, he swallowed his saliva, and no one knew what method of cleaning up he meant.

Lord Prime Minister Lu glanced at Murong Chen and found that there was no distress or helplessness on his face. He became more certain in his heart that after the banquet, he would be able to bring the Princess of Chu over.

Given the Lu family's current status and strength in the court, Murong Chen would still give them this face.

But the Princess of Chu was so beautiful that he felt a little anxious. Why not, when the prince went to the bridal chamber, he could send someone to bring the Princess of Chu to his room?

Princess Yingxue held the wine tray in both hands, raised her eyes slightly, and looked at Murong Chen and Lu Ziqing in front of her.

Lu Ziqing almost fell down just now, and Murong Chen is still holding her to protect her. They are truly a perfect match.

However, Lu Ziqing took a few steps back. If he wanted to offer wine, he could only walk over to them.

But how could a slave stand up and walk in front of her master?

So what Lu Ziqing meant was...

Let yourself kneel down, in a very humble manner, in front of the public, in front of the civil and military officials, and move forward little by little...

"Sister, are you unwilling to offer wine to His Highness and me?"
