In the hall, the lights are brightly lit.

Sitting on the main seat directly above was the eldest princess Nangong Huoyue, dressed in a fiery red dress and with a majestic face.

To her left, sat a middle-aged man wearing a light gold python robe.

The middle-aged man was tall and tall, with a fair face and a handsome appearance. He looked gentle and elegant, with a gentle smile on his face.

This person is the envoy sent by Kyoto this time, Nangong Yufeng, the prince of Nanguo County.

According to seniority, he is also the uncle of the eldest princess Nangong Huoyue.

But let alone a county king, even a prince, with the status and power of the eldest princess, can only sit below.

After all, the eldest princess is not only the leader of the Fire Moon Kingdom, but also the general of Great Yan Tiance, and she is also the sister of Emperor Great Yan.

During the reign of the late Emperor, her status was already higher than that of other kings.

At this time, the two were chatting about the recent events in Kyoto.

The other guests, even the lord of Mo City, Jiang Jinnan, could only bow down and speak in a low voice.

Mrs. Wang, the eldest lady of Chengguo Mansion, was dressed luxuriously, with her body slightly bowed, and she was greeting the guests entering the hall with a smile on her face.

When she saw Qin Wenzheng and his wife coming in, her eyes flashed, and she immediately greeted them warmly: "Master Qin, sister of the Song family, welcome, welcome."

Qin Wenzheng just nodded politely.

Song Ruyue immediately said with a smile on her face: "Sister Wang, congratulations, you have really raised a good son. At such a young age, you have earned your wife back. Hey, none of them are like my sons.

useful."

Wang smiled and said humbly: "Everywhere, there is great kindness and love from the Holy One, and Changtian is just doing his duty faithfully."

Song Ruyue pursed her lips with a sly smile and said no more. She followed Qin Wenzheng into the hall and paid homage to the eldest princess and the prince of the Southern Kingdom. She clenched her fists tightly in her sleeves.

The eldest princess just nodded lightly and did not speak.

The Prince of Nanguo County smiled gently and said: "Master Qin still looks young. When Xiao Wang went to Longhu Academy some time ago, he also met your eldest son Qin Lang. That young man is very good. I heard from the teachers in the academy that he is now

He has already broken through to the late stage of martial arts, he is really young and promising."

Qin Wenzheng quickly expressed his thanks and humility.

The depression and frustration in Song Ruyue's heart finally subsided a little.

The prince of Nanguo County smiled again and said: "Master Qin, are you and your wife the only ones here today? Xiao Wang heard that your Qin family and Mr. Luo's family are getting married. When Xiao Wang went to visit Uncle Jing last month, he heard him mention this.

It's a matter. The marriage contract between your two children was still witnessed by Uncle Jing Wang, right?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Qin Wenzheng's expression changed slightly, but also the expression of Wang who was standing next to him with his head bowed.

Luo Yannian, who had just brought his guests in, also heard this and quickly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Highness, your highness has written to inform Prince Jing of this matter, and Prince Jing is already aware of it."

"oh?"

Prince Nangong smiled when he heard this, nodded and said, "That's good."

He saw that the faces of the two families were a little strange, and he guessed that the matter might not be that simple, so he didn't ask any more questions in front of so many guests.

Several more guests came one after another.

Song Ruyue entered the back room and chatted with other women, whispering about Wang's being granted the title of Madam Gaoming. They all looked envious.

"Hey, my son is trying his best to sneak into the palace and become a popular figure in front of the Holy Emperor. His future is limitless."

"And her second son, I heard that he is the most promising candidate to be admitted to Longhu Academy in Mocheng next year..."

"Hey, look at those two sons, and look at my useless son. I can't wait to go back and beat them with a stick right now. Tell me, they are the same people, with one head, one mouth, and two arms.

Two legs, why are my two sons so competitive?"

"In the future, Chengguofu will really prosper. I'm afraid that our small Mocheng will not be able to accommodate this giant Buddha."

"Ruyue, why don't you speak? Do you feel bad?"

"Hey, let's look at it. We can't compete with others. We can't compete with this generation, and we can't compete with the next generation. Your Qin family and Cheng Guofu are in-laws, and they are family friends. As long as you embrace this thigh, you will be able to compete with each other in the future.

The Qin Mansion will definitely regroup and follow its rapid rise."

Song Ruyue had a stupefied face and didn't reply.

A woman suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Ruyue, I heard that your Qin Chuan will also take part in the Longhu College admissions exam next year?"

As soon as these words came out, the other women looked at each other and understood.

I'm sorry that what they just talked about hurt this person.

One of the women quickly comforted: "Ruyue, we are just casually talking about the enrollment of Dragon Tiger Academy next year. With so many warriors participating, no one is sure who will win. Your Qin Chuan works so hard, he will definitely win next year."

There is hope.”

"Yes, yes, there is definitely hope. That kid from Chuan'er works so hard. Even if he doesn't pass the exam next year, he will still have a chance the year after."

The other women all comforted her.

Song Ruyue forced a smile on her face.

By this time, all the guests outside had arrived.

The prince of Nanguo County stood up, took out the imperial edict, and prepared to declare it.

Except for the eldest princess Nangong Huoyue who just stood up and bowed slightly, everyone else in the hall was kneeling on the ground.

When the women in the back room heard this, their expressions changed, they hurriedly stood up from their chairs, walked out quickly, and all knelt on the ground.

The guests outside the door also quickly knelt down.

The entire Chengguo Mansion immediately fell silent.

The prince of the Southern Kingdom opened the imperial edict and began to recite the Holy Majesty's will aloud.

The general idea is that Luo Changtian, the eldest son of Chengguofu, has performed his duties loyally, killed assassins, guarded the safety of the palace, etc. He also mentioned the achievements of the ancestors of Chengguofu. In order to show favor and reward, he specially conferred the title of Wang Yun, the eldest lady of Chengguofu.

For Mrs. Gaoming...

After the king of Nanguo County finished reading the imperial edict, he took the peacock crown made specially for Mrs. Gaoming from the eunuch's hand, walked to the kneeling Mrs. Wang, and handed it over.

Mrs. Wang took it with trembling hands, tears immediately filled her eyes, her forehead touched the ground, she trembled with gratitude and shed tears of gratitude.

Luo Yannian also took Luo Yu and other people from Chengguo Mansion to kneel down and kowtow to express gratitude.

The king of Nanguo County said warmly: "Madam, please put on the colorful crown. The Holy Emperor also gave me a peacock robe and a pair of phoenix robes. Tonight is my most glorious moment. You must wear these things to show the emperor's favor."

"Your Majesty has given you such grace, and the common woman bursts into tears with gratitude!"

Wang trembled and kowtowed again, holding the colorful crown in both hands, her whole body trembling with excitement.

The prince of Nanguo County smiled and said: "Now she is no longer a civilian woman, but a woman of destiny. Madam, please get up quickly. The imperial edict has been announced. There is no need to kneel anymore."

Wang was so excited that her whole body went limp, her tears blurred, and she couldn't stand up for a while.

Seeing this, Luo Yu hurriedly stood up and walked over, helped her up, then took the colorful crown from her hand and carefully helped her put it on her head.

The other women kneeling in the hall were filled with envy when they saw this scene.

Song Ruyue's eyes were red, her lips were trembling, she was gritting her teeth, trying hard to tell herself: I'm not envious, I'm not envious, I'm not envious at all...

"Madam, these are Xia Yi and Xia Pei. Please wear them too."

The Prince of Nanguo pointed to the plate in the eunuch's hand and said.

Wang bowed his head and thanked her tremblingly again.

Luo Yu bowed and picked up the Xiayi Xiapi from the plate, helped her put it on her body, and said softly: "Mother, you are so beautiful today."

Wang's eyes suddenly became hot and her face was filled with tears. She couldn't help but kneel down and kowtow to thank her again.

The Prince of Nanguo quickly helped her up and said to the others who were still kneeling on the ground: "Everyone, get up."

Everyone then stood up one after another.

The eldest princess Nangong Huoyue glanced outside and said, "Master Luo, can the dinner begin? I have something to do tonight and need to go back early."

Luo Yannian quickly and respectfully said: "Your Highness, wait a moment, the dinner will begin soon."

Then he quickly ordered the butler and his servants to start serving wine and food, and at the same time personally arranged the seats of each guest.

At the table in the middle of the hall, naturally the eldest princess and the prince of Nanguo sat.

Accompanying this table were several nobles with titles.

Qin Wenzheng and his wife were also arranged here.

The eldest lady, Mrs. Wang, wearing a colorful crown and Xiayi, stood respectfully behind Nangong Huoyue, preparing to personally help her pour wine.

The Prince of Nanguo County on the side smiled and said: "Mrs. Luo is the protagonist today, how can she stand and pour the wine? Let the maid come. Madam, please sit down."

Just as Wang was about to resign humbly, Luo Yu came from the side, took the wine bottle from her hand, and said with a smile: "Sit down, mother, and have a few drinks with Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Prince, and I will pour some for you."

liquor."

Wang glanced at him tenderly, and had no choice but to sit down next to the eldest princess, but she only dared to sit down half her buttocks, lowered her eyebrows, and still maintained a cautious and respectful look on her face.

Nangong Huoyue suddenly raised her head and looked at Qin Wenzheng and said, "By the way, Mr. Qin, your second Miss Qin, the most talented girl in Mo City, didn't come tonight?"
