The Elegance of the Emperor: The Little Wife of the Wolf King

Chapter 20 Palace Banquet ([-])
"Sisters are here!" Murong Jing was dressed in a dignified manner, although her face was still a little immature, but the elegance of her gestures made everyone here not dare to underestimate her.

"I've met Yan's!" All the princesses got up to salute, Murong Jing smiled and beckoned everyone to sit down.

"If the younger sisters don't come today, I will have to visit tomorrow!" Murong Jing said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, you are polite. You can say hello if you have something to do. How dare you bother sister-in-law? Why don't you hurry over here!" Qingyun is the elder among the sisters. She is tall and thin, with a small face the size of a palm. A pair of big eyes, crystal clear and moist.

"I discussed with Da Khan that the younger sisters have reached the age of marriage, so we can't delay. The concubine is old, and there is no elder in the palace, so the sister-in-law will entrust her to the younger sisters. The younger sisters choose a husband-in-law that suits them, but you can't let the younger sisters scold your sister-in-law, right?"

After Murong Jing finished speaking, the shy princesses lowered their heads. Marriage is a matter of parents' orders, and a matchmaker's words are not allowed even in Quan Rong.The matter of Yeluqing was taken care of by Yeluheng, otherwise how could the elders of the clan let it go?

"Qingyun, you sisters are the oldest, you have to take care of them. The palace banquet will be held in a few days, and the talents selected from each account and the family members of each account manager will come to participate. Get up, there should be more people. I have already prepared the clothes and jewelry, and I will let Nuo Min lead you to the Clothes Bureau to pick out clothes and jewelry later."

As soon as Murong Jing finished speaking, the sisters were all smiling and chattering, wishing they could go to the Clothes Bureau to look at the clothes now, this is the nature of women, they are completely immune to clothes and jewelry.

"There has never been such a big banquet in the palace. The sisters must be well-dressed. I picked out a few pieces of popular jewelry from my dowry, and each of them has a piece. It is a gift from my sister-in-law to the sisters. "Murong Jing just counted the dowry Wanyanhu sent back, and there were quite a few of them.After all, Quan Rong was not as good as Bei Mo, and there was nothing good in the palace. His dowry looked shabby in Bei Mo Palace, but in Quan Rong Palace, it was indeed a good thing.

Nuo Min and Tuo Ya sent the jewelry to the princesses. Each of them had a suet jade hairpin, which was crystal clear and exquisitely crafted, and the eyes of the princesses shone brightly.

"Sisters, what do you need someone to pass on to Toya?" Toya is now in charge of the trivial matters in the palace, and Murong Jing entrusts many things to Toya to take care of. She is calm and cautious, which makes Murong Jing feel at ease.

"During the palace banquet, I hope that all the sisters will stick to their duties and don't lose the face of my Khan Palace. When the time comes, don't blame your sister-in-law for not being merciful to you." Murong Jing changed the subject and spoke harshly.These little girls have no sense of proportion in their actions, and their ears are soft. If they really do something embarrassing and make people laugh, the shame of the Khan Palace will be thrown home.

Several princesses got up one after another, said yes, and left one after another.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law!" Not long after the princesses had left, Yeluqing's voice sounded in the courtyard.

Murong Jing was eating dinner at home, Yeluheng didn't come back, she was alone, she didn't eat much, so she asked the small kitchen to simply prepare two vegetarian dishes and a bowl of bird's nest and white fungus porridge.

"Sister-in-law, you are biased! You have given away so many people, why doesn't Dudu have my share?" Yeluqing trotted all the way over, followed by a dozen servants and servants who also caught up. It was so majestic.Toya left the servants outside the courtyard and only let the princess enter the house.

"Qing'er is here! Come eat with sister-in-law!" Murong Jing greeted Yeluqing with a smile, and Nuo Min quickly added a pair of bowls and chopsticks.

Yeluqing was originally full of anger, but when he saw Murong Jing's pure smile, he became less angry, but he still sat awkwardly across from Murong Jing.

"In order to marry Wanyanhu, you don't even want your brother who loves you and your clansmen, what jewelry do you need?" Murong Jing looked at Yeluqing who was pouting, and said slowly with a smile on her face.

"Furthermore, this palace banquet is to choose sons-in-law for a few younger sisters. You have already chosen yourselves. What are you doing at the palace banquet? Even if you are not attending the palace banquet, why do you want jewelry?" Murong Jing asked a few words Yeluqing's little cheeks were swollen, and she was anxious to refute but didn't know what to say. Tears rolled in her eyes, and she kept stomping her feet.

Murong Jing ignored her and ate alone.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law..." Yeluqing looked at Murong Jing and muttered.

"Don't call me, I'm hurting you for nothing! You have caused such a big incident just by going out! If your brother hadn't helped you, the elders of the clan would have come to you long ago!" Murong Jing said with a smile on her face just now. , now there is no smile at all.

"Sister-in-law, I know I'm wrong! But I really like Brother Fox! I don't want to make you and brother angry!" Yeluqing's face was tangled, and her eyes were full of confusion.

"Yeluqing, you can be confused about anything, but you can't be confused about this matter! The blood of my five thousand soldiers has not been dried yet, and you, the eldest princess of Quanrong, want to marry the enemy who killed my soldiers. Why are you so confused? How did you make your brother face the families of those fallen soldiers and explain to them?" Murong Jing became more and more angry, and her tone became higher and higher. Yeluqing had never seen Murong before. Jingsheng was so arrogant that he was so scared that he didn't dare to vent his anger.

"Nuo Min, bring my face!" Murong Jing shouted.

Nuo Min hurriedly brought up the things that had been prepared, a pair of heads made of pure gold, especially the pair of step shakers, with a peacock in the middle, lifelike, inlaid with ten rubies of various sizes, under the light of the candlelight Shine brightly.

"You are anxious to get married. This is what I prepared for you to add makeup early in the morning. Take it and go!" Murong Jing didn't even look at her, she lowered her head and picked up her bowl to continue eating.

Yeluqing sat there, weeping uncontrollably.

It was silent for a while, neither of them spoke, only the sound of bowls and chopsticks clashing lightly and Yeluqing sobbing softly.

"Sister-in-law, I'm too capricious! But Brother Fox..." Yeluqing raised her head to say something, but swallowed it back.

"Wanyanhu said that he will pick you up in ten days. You can choose whether to marry or not. If you marry, your brother and I will prepare the dowry so that you won't be wronged. When we meet on the battlefield in the future, your brother will never show mercy." Murong Jing's words softened, "If you still think about your brother and your family, think about it again. If you If you want to regret the marriage, your brother and I will firmly stand by your side. Even if Wanyanhu spread the matter between you and ruin your reputation, but with your brother and me, we will definitely find another breakup for you Good marriage!"

Yeluqing sat for a while after listening to Murongjing's words, her eyes were sad and confused, her eyes had long lost their former vivacity, she got up and said goodbye with a lonely expression.

Murong Jing looked at Yeluqing's leaving figure, feeling a little melancholy in her heart, this little sister who was always by her side in a foreign land, she has always treated her like a real sister, and she couldn't bear to suffer a little grievance.But at such a juncture, she could do nothing but watch her jump into the fire pit helplessly.

In the vast sea of ​​people, all living beings, how many people can't figure out a word of love, and they are trapped in the net all their lives, unable to extricate themselves.

Rongcheng has been extremely lively these past few days, and people from the nine tents have come to Rongcheng one after another.Dog soldiers and folk customs are open, and there is no defense between men and women. From time to time, a group of handsome men and women are seen on the street. They should come to the palace banquet.The jewelry stores and clothing stores in Rongcheng were overcrowded at the moment, and the business was booming, and the supply exceeded the demand.

It was late at night, and Yeluheng hadn't returned to the palace yet, so he probably won't be back today.Murong Jing made such a big noise in choosing a son-in-law in Rongcheng, but it was actually because he didn't want to drink.

The army and horses in the Quanrong clan are divided into nine tents, which are actually controlled by the three great families of the Quanrong family, the Yelu family, the Bali family and the Huyan family. Among the three major families, the Yelu family is the royal family and has lived in Rongcheng for generations. All in their own territory.

Among the three great aristocratic families, the Yelu family is the most powerful, controlling four of the nine tents, Bali has three, and Huyan is the least powerful with two.Although there are competitions among the aristocratic families and internal strife, such a balance has been basically maintained for hundreds of years.

However, during the battle of Rongcheng, the elders of each tent died and were wounded. Yeluheng took the opportunity to integrate the army of Quanrong, and wanted to send all the nine tents' troops to the military headquarters and return them to the military headquarters for unified deployment.This breaks the balance of power in the family, and it will inevitably be resisted by the family. At present, only the Diela tribe led by Yeluheng, the Bali tribe of Zabusu, and the Xiwandan tribe of Yelufeng handed over the soldiers. The tents are fighting stubbornly, and the patriarchs of various families have approached Yeluheng several times, but Yeluheng is determined, no matter how much resistance, he will achieve military and political unification.

Yeluheng's resoluteness made various forces start to stir, and Murongjing simply added a handful of firewood to make the fire burn more vigorously.In the seemingly prosperous Rong City, there is actually an undercurrent surging, a force is secretly gathering, and a bloody storm is coming.
