Canglan Empress

Chapter 315 humility
Under the emperor, the seat on the right is respected.

Rong Jin and Wen Jinyan are both guests, and they are also the princes, so they should naturally sit on the right side of the emperor.

But there is only one chief position.

Logically speaking, Rong Jin came here uninvited, but Wen Jinyan was a guest invited by the Emperor of the Yong Dynasty, so Wen Jinyan should be seated first on the right.

On the other hand, Rong Jin is the most favored Ninth Prince of the Western Qin Dynasty, with 16 elite soldiers as his confidence, while Wen Jinyan is just the proton of the defeated country——

Thinking about it this way, it seemed that Rong Jin should take the first place again.

The eyes of the officials could not help being a little subtle, and they all watched the two in silence.

On the seat on the left, the princes and ministers have already taken their seats according to their respective ranks. Xuanyin's seat is next to Yaohua - in fact, at Yaohua's age, he was not qualified to participate in this kind of banquet that only adult princes can attend.

But Emperor Tiande paid attention to excitement today. Although the specifications for entertaining the two princes were grand and solemn, the three princesses and the noble daughters of the Yongjing family were arranged to sit in the side hall next door, so the underage princes could naturally come.

Besides, Yaohua came with Xuanyin's carriage, and even Emperor Tiande had no objection to it, so what else dare to say?
Except for Yaohua, the other underage princes and the underage sons of powerful families were all arranged by the palace servants in the next hall, and they were divided into two tables with the princesses and ladies—their seats were different from those in the main hall, with separate tables for men and women. A table, not the formal independent seats in the front hall.

This not only allowed the princes to see this formal occasion in advance, but also did not affect the rigor and solemnity of the palace banquet.

Under everyone's gaze, Wen Jinyan took the lead and walked towards the first seat.

The officials frowned slightly as they looked at the gentle man in white.

Looking at the gentle noble son, he is actually just a proton after all. Even if the Ninth Prince of Northern Qi gave way, could he really sit on the first place so calmly?

Wen Jinyan didn't care about what other people were thinking, and walked over to the first seat, and sat in the back seat with a dignified and elegant posture.

The expressions of the ministers paused, and the eyes they looked at him could not help but change.

It turned out that they were wrong.

Rong Jin talked about humility, but Wen Jinyan expressed his humility with practical actions.

"Both of you are guests from afar, so there is no need to worry about it." Emperor Tiande said with a smile, "Prince Rong, please sit down too."

Rong Jin glanced at Wen Jinyan, said nothing, walked calmly to the first seat and sat down.

The leisurely and natural posture, as if this seat is just an ordinary seat, there is no so-called distinction of superiority and inferiority at all.

Emperor Tiande announced the opening of the banquet.

The palace maids dressed in all white dresses shuttled neatly through the banquet, presenting delicious food and wine.

The aroma of wine overflowed and permeated the hall.

The dancers wearing red gauze ribbons entered the hall with light steps, saluted the emperor, and then danced in the center of the hall.

The dancing posture is graceful, enchanting and charming, every time she raises her hands and bends her waist, she is all beautiful.

"Prince Rong, Prince Chu." Emperor Tiande raised the wine cup in his hand, and signaled to Wen Jinyan and Rong Jin from a distance, "I will have a glass of fine wine with you two, and welcome you two to visit Dayong."

The queen sitting next to the emperor did not speak, maintaining the dignity and majesty of the lord of the six palaces.

All the ministers in the hall raised the wine cups in their hands at the same time, and did not notice anything wrong.

Only Xuanyin, who was sitting diagonally across from Rong Jin, frowned involuntarily after hearing Emperor Tiande's words, and slowly raised her eyes.
