The Ancient Martial Witch Arrives

Chapter 98 The Palace Banquet (2)
Wu Lin belongs to the royal family. After Lan Jiu rejected the marriage, the Wu royal family must have felt insulted.

With a sigh in his heart, his heart became heavier. Ever since he came to this world, Lan Jiu felt like an invisible net stretched around him, oppressing him all the time, making him breathless.

And now, if Emperor Wu puts more pressure on him, he will make himself an enemy of the entire royal family. In the ancient Wu Continent, the imperial power is supreme. This is a structure similar to a feudal society. If a person does not have absolute strength, confronting the royal family is tantamount to courting death.

But it is absolutely impossible for him to agree to Wu Huang's gift of marriage!Lan Jiu felt ruthless in his heart, at worst, the fish would die and the net would be broken, and the three kingdoms of the mainland would stand together. Could it be that he had to be here!
After making up his mind, Lan Jiu felt a lot more relaxed, and at this time he had already followed the guidance of the palace guards to Zhang Huatai.

In front of the vermilion-lacquered palace gate, Wu Huang, dressed in a yellow robe, is leading nine princes and the King of Fengjiang to welcome him.Because the person who came was Princess Xiangjun of Wei Guo, Emperor Wu came out to greet her in person to show grandeur.

"Hahaha, Princess Xiangjun! I didn't look too far, she really is Princess Xiangjun! Welcome." Before he reached the gate of the palace, Emperor Wu burst into laughter. Wu Huangnian is only 50 years old, his body is well maintained, and his eyes are radiant.While speaking, Wu Huang had already walked towards this side.

The nine princes followed behind, and the nine princes had their own merits, among which the prince and the third prince were the most conspicuous. The hostility makes people dare not look directly.

King Fengjiang didn't bring Wu Lin to come. At this time, he followed Wu Huang with a cold expression on his face, especially when he saw Lan Jiu, an inexplicable look flashed across King Fengjiang's face.

"Emperor Wu is a hero, I heard from my father a long time ago that when Emperor Wu came to the throne, he personally commanded the three armies to defeat the Shu army, and his reputation spread across the mainland. I also brought my father's greetings and the peace sincerity of the Wei Kingdom this time. !" Xiang Jun smiled and went forward, neither humble nor overbearing, but handled it with ease.

Wu Huang also knew that Princess Xiangjun had seen such scenes a lot, so he was not surprised at all.After another polite exchange with Mr. Xiang, Wu Huang raised his head and glanced at Lan Jiu lightly.

Seeing that Wu Huang didn't seem to avoid it, Lan Jiu bowed his head and called out "Wu Huang".A faint greeting, and then there were no extra words and etiquette.

Simple, but no faux pas.Wu Huang frowned slightly, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.But he still smiled and said, "Lan Jiu, your grandfather Lan Linghou is coming, follow us in first."

Wu Huang just gave Lan Jiu an order, and then eagerly greeted Xiangjun and walked towards Zhang Huatai. Xiang Jun was dealing with Wu Huang, but turned around and pulled Lan Jiu by his side, showing that he was very close to Lan Jiu. look.

Xiang Jun's move was not for show, but to show these people his relationship with Lan Jiu.Just imagine that Princess Wei is so polite and kind to Lan Jiu, then others can't help but despise Lan Jiu.

In fact, after Mr. Xiang showed a friendly attitude, Emperor Wu frowned lightly again, already thinking about it, and the princes who followed Wu Huang couldn't help but look at Lan Jiu more. He didn't change his expression, but he also glanced at Lan Jiu with his eyes.

The green tiles, glazed windows and vermilion windows, carved railings and jade steps, exotic flowers and plants, and heroic guards standing in front of the red palace gate, Zhanghuatai Palace is full of luxury but also has the unique elegance of Jiangnan.

The banquet in the spacious hall has been properly arranged. There are dozens of uniformly dressed maids standing around the hall. As Wu Huang and others entered, all the maids saluted in unison, making this luxurious hall even more solemn and grand.

"Come, Princess Xiangjun sit beside me." Wu Huang had already sat on the most honored seat in the hall, and then smiled at Xiangjun.

Mr. Xiang did not refuse, thanked him and sat in the first seat on the left, and the princes were placed behind him. The seat of Fengjiang King was the first on the right, and the seat that Lan Jiu could take was the last on the right.

"Princess Xiangjun, can you let me talk about something else first?" After everyone sat down, the maid had already served drinks, and as the palace music played, four singers floated in from the gate of the palace. A cheerful and peaceful atmosphere rose, and Wu Huang smiled at Xiangjun.

"Of course." Jun Xiang nodded with a smile.

Wu Huang turned his head to look at the hall, and said with a smile: "Although the Marquis of Lanling hasn't come yet, I will announce a good news first!"

When Emperor Wu spoke, everyone in the hall listened attentively, and even the singing and dancing stopped temporarily.

"Lan Jiu, the granddaughter of the Marquis of Lanling, is talented, beautiful and virtuous, so I specially bestow this marriage on her!"

The majestic voice echoed in the hall, and everyone held their breath, waiting for Emperor Wu to tell Lan Jiu's marriage partner.At the same time, several princes had already turned their heads to look at King Fengjiang, because many people knew that King Fengjiang was refused marriage by Lan Jiu. Emperor Wu this time was to save face for his brother.

It's just a pity for Lan Jiu!A good girl is going to marry a sick man.The eyes of the several princes showed pity and pity, although they saw too many women, but now the two women in the palace are both beautiful and beautiful!
Seeing everyone staring at him, Wu Huang smiled calmly, looked at King Fengjiang with unpredictable eyes, and said, "I announce that Lan Jiu can choose a husband-in-law from the royal family and princes and nobles! Anyone can, and I will do it for you." The Lord!"

As soon as Wu Huang's words came out, the hall was silent.

Although Lan Jiu felt uncomfortable, she was also taken aback. She thought that the Emperor Wu would bestow a marriage on herself and Wu Lin, but the recipients of the marriage were all the nobles in Wu Kingdom!This way the space for choice is much larger, but unfortunately there is nothing I want.

"Marquis Lanling and Marquis Wumu are here!" followed the high-pitched voice of the guard outside the door.Marquis Wumu in a blue robe and Marquis Lanling in a crimson robe walked in respectfully.

The two walked to the center of the hall without looking sideways and bowed to Emperor Wu to salute.

"You two please hurry up, I have already said that you don't need to salute when you come to see me in the future! Why is it always like this!" Wu Huang said with a smile. Although his voice was gentle, he also said no. Clear alienation.
