On our wedding night, he personally sent me to the Regent's bed

Chapter 328 Engagement Banquet

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was Di Xiuyan and Mu Wanyan's engagement party.

The sunset was picturesque, and the afterglow gently spread over the luxurious yet elegant mansion. Every brick and tile of the Regent's Palace was dyed with a beautiful golden glow.

The palace was decorated with colorful lights and red silk fluttering in the wind. The entire residence was immersed in a splendid festive atmosphere.

The maids and servants were delighted with the reward money, and they worked with such smiles that they couldn't stop.

The youngest regent of Dafeng Kingdom was extremely powerful and a hero who defended his country. Naturally, almost all the dignitaries in the capital came to his engagement banquet.

The people were filled with joy and spontaneously surrounded the majestic palace, tying strands of bright red silk on the tall treetops to express their most sincere and beautiful blessings and wishes for the prince and princess.

Many little girls came here crying, tying red silks while expressing their grief that their fairy lovers would now have families.

"The godlike regent, the flower-like handsome man, from now on he is someone else's husband."

"When I woke up in the middle of the night, what the prince was holding in his arms was not a knife or a sword, but some princess from Xichang."

"Yes, I can only recognize our regent. I will never recognize that girl from a small country as my princess."

The voice just fell.

The maid of the Prince Regent’s Palace: “Wedding cakes are being distributed, come and get them——”

"Men, stand over here. You can receive: a bag of rice, two barrels of sesame oil, dozens of eggs, and several kilograms of meat and fruit. This is a reward from our regent, and everyone has a share."

"Girls, stand in this row. In addition to rice, oil, eggs and meat, our princess has also prepared other wedding gifts for you girls."

As she was speaking, the nanny asked several maids in the mansion to carry over several large boxes, which were covered with red cloth.

As soon as the red cloth was lifted, the maids began to give wedding gifts to the little girls standing in line one by one.

The little girls who received the wedding gifts opened the exquisite gift boxes.

In an instant, exclamations such as "Oh my God," "Oh my God," and "Oh my God" were heard one after another.

"This is the rouge from Huan Yan Ji, as well as lip balm, eyebrow pendant, and perfume..."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, they are all large quantities, even the ticket stubs are in the box, it must cost a lot of money..."

"Ah, the princess is so generous, she is like a fairy..." This was the exclamation from the girl who had just scolded the princess the most harshly.

Another girl said: "Who said it wasn't true? No wonder our prince was able to be won over by the princess. I also like such a kind and generous woman."

"That's right. The rouge and powder she gave us were even more than the betrothal gifts some farmers gave to marry wives and concubines."

"They are really fairies descending to earth. From now on, I will only recognize the Prince Regent and the Princess Regent."

The girls all talked at once, praising Mu Wanyan again and again, and the men queuing nearby shook their heads.

"Women's hearts change at any time, more unpredictable than the weather in June, huh."

-

After the guests were seated, the banquet began.

What was surprising was that the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, Pei Yuxiao, also came.

After experiencing a palace civil war, he was obviously much thinner, but his tall stature and perfect facial features could not conceal his handsomeness.

When all the officials saw the prince arriving, they stood up and made way for him.

Because of the Regent's triumphant return, Pei Yuxiao won again this time.

Di Xiuyan arranged him to sit at the main table with Gu Yeran.

Di Xiuyan was considerate. He felt that Pei and Gu would definitely have a lot of common topics when they sat together today.

The ceremony began, and Di Xiuyan, who was as handsome as a banished immortal, came out to toast with Mu Wanyan, who was also more beautiful than an ordinary person.

Di Xiuyan was wearing a well-tailored brocade robe today. He had a handsome face and an imposing bearing. His cold brows revealed an infinite amount of gentleness.

Mu Wanyan was also dressed in gorgeous brocade clothes, with a face as rosy as a peach and eyes as bright as autumn water. She exuded nobility and elegance with every step she took.

Some guests recognized Mu Wanyan's face, but they did not have any suspicion at all.

Because the Regent Princess in front of him - "Mu Chuyan", although her face is exactly the same as her elder sister, her condition is very different.

She was full of energy and her eyes were shining. Embraced by the Regent, even her hair was full of spirit. She was much more beautiful than the Mu Wanyan who had died long ago.

Di Xiuyan kept his big hand on her waist and spoke softly, fearing that his fiancée would be choked by the drunken guests.

Everyone was shocked. This was the first time they had seen such a gentle regent. It turned out that the prince was not only good at leading troops in battle, but he was also a top-notch expert in taking care of women.

Everyone was eating and drinking and having a great time. Almost everyone was grinning, except for the two men at the main table - Pei Yuxiao and Gu Yeran.

No matter how delicious the food and wine were, or how attentive the servants were, their eyes were like sand, and they kept crying again and again.

Gu Yeran: "Prince Donggong, what's wrong with your eyes? Why are your eyes flooding with tears?"

Pei Yuxiao took up the wine in the cup and drank it all, then replied: "Emperor Xiuyan, the regent, is handsome and good at fighting. Such a good man was deceived by a little girl from Xichang. I feel sorry for Brother Xiuyan."

Gu Yeran nodded, "I see, that's why I should cry."

Pei Yuxiao turned his head and glanced at Gu Yeran, "Doctor Gu, your eyes are also like a rabbit's, why do you do that?"

Gu Yeran: "Di Xiuyan, my cousin, we grew up together and he always protected me wherever I went. Such a good cousin was kidnapped by a little thing. I will give her all the good things in the future. How can I not be sad?"

Pei Yuxiao nodded, "Well, you deserve more tears than me."

Then, taking advantage of the darkness and the fact that both of them were unruly and didn't need to toast with anyone (the guards helped to stop them), they started to drink.

So the two grown men felt so sympathetic towards each other that they hugged each other and cried bitterly to the sound of stringed instruments.

"Yeran, I am moved by the relationship between you and Brother Xiuyan as cousins. Please allow me to cry for both of you."

"Prince, I am proud of the relationship between you and my cousin. Please allow me to howl for you."

The two of them sobbed for a long time, their tears flowing down each other's clothes and shoulders.

The guests saw this from a distance, and they all admired the friendship between Pei Yuxiao and the young master of the Gu family.

"As expected, they were taught by the same master. It's natural that classmates will appreciate each other."

"Look, they let the guards stop others, isn't it just to complain to each other?"

Guest: "One feels sorry for the other's suffering in the palace infighting, and the other feels sorry for the other's suffering on the battlefield."

"The friendship between classmates is moving and touching."

After a while, Di Xiuyan led Mu Wanyan to the main table of Pei Yuxiao and Gu Yeran.

The two grown men wiped away their tears instantly, straightened their chests, and put on a handsome and proud attitude.

"Yuxiao, Yeran, do you two have anything to say to Xiuyan?" Emperor Xiuyan looked at them wickedly with his handsome eyes, as if smiling.

Pei Yuxiao: "Except for wanting to punch you twice, there is nothing else."

Gu Yeran: "Me too."

Di Xiuyan: "Speak human language."

Pei Yuxiao and Gu Yeran hugged each other and comforted each other. Finally, the prince conveyed their blessings to the newlyweds: "May you have a happy marriage and a son soon. Hurry up and have a baby. The next time I drink your child's full-month wine, I will get married."

Gu Yeran: "Me too."

After a while, Mu Wanyan whispered in Di Xiuyan's ear: "Xiuyan, do Gu Yeran and the Crown Prince have any problem with me? When I toasted them today, they didn't even look at me."

Di Xiuyan smiled dotingly, kissed her on the forehead, and replied: "Of course, you stole their good brother, so they will naturally not treat Yanyan well."

Mu Wanyan nodded, "You guys really have a deep bond as classmates."

-

At the same time, Pei Mochen was in Jianjia Pavilion, reminded of someone by the things he saw.

The more he looked at the plants and trees in the yard, the more he missed Mu Wanyan.

"No, today is Mu Chuyan and Di Xiuyan's engagement party. If I don't attend the wedding banquet, Yanyan's spirit in heaven will definitely blame me."

"As Chu Yan's brother-in-law, I must go and support her, so that she can have a position in her husband's family in the future."

He simply changed into casual clothes, without even packing up, took Mu Wanyan's spirit tablet, and took Ling Yun to the banquet.
