"Everyone here is someone I love dearly. I only hope that you can get along peacefully with each other and not make things difficult for this king. I don't need to say anything more. The key is that you have to think about it yourself.
Also, about me attending the banquet held by the Emperor in two days! I've already confirmed that I'll let the Situ Clan and the Murong Clan go with me.
However, I have to tell the two of you that I will be reporting to the Emperor about the Yangtze River flood at this banquet. It's very likely that you'll anger the Dragon's face and drag me down.
Since I've already considered it, I still want to seek your opinion. Situ Clan, Murong Clan, do any of you want to go back on your word and follow me?”
"Your highness, you really think too much. Your highness cares about the world. For the sake of the people, you chose to report this matter to the emperor during the mid-autumn festival. What kind of glorious act is this? Therefore, ChenQie is naturally willing to follow Wangye to the Imperial Palace to participate in the banquet!”
After hearing Tuoba Qian's words, Lan Fu couldn't help but feel a sense of respect towards Tuoba Qian. Ever since he met Tuoba Qian, Tuoba Qian seemed to have started worrying about the Yangtze River flood.
Now that Tuoba Qian was going to meet the Emperor during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lan Fu felt that Tuoba Qian really loved the people like his own children, so much so that Tuoba Qian was a little deranged.
Without hesitation, Lady Situ had already displayed her loyalty.
Tuoba Qian nodded in satisfaction.""What about you? Lanfu?"
Lan Fu knew that she couldn't retreat. Although she had thought about the danger when Tuoba Qian said that there might be danger, she still had to go. If she went back on her word, it would be difficult for her to survive in the Prince's mansion in the future!
Lan Fu was not a selfish person. She treated it as if she was doing it for the people and answered Tuoba Qian naturally,""Your Highness, I have the same thoughts as Sister Situ.”
"Hmm…since that's the case, you guys should prepare yourselves. I'm sure everyone is hungry, so quickly eat!”
Lan Fu hated the so-called etiquette, and the Imperial Palace was the most solemn and complicated occasion. Putting aside the etiquette inside, just the people coming and going would definitely be attended by the Emperor's concubines.
Lan Fu was not interested in socializing, so she felt dizzy as if she had two heads.
However, he had agreed to Tuoba Qian's request without hesitation. He had no chance of refusing. Even though Lan Fu was extremely unwilling to enter the palace with Tuoba Qian to attend some tedious banquet, he still had to go.
The next night, when the lanterns were lit, Lan Fu would follow Tuoba Qian and Lady Situ to the palace to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
At this moment, Qiu Ruo was holding an exquisite flower-shaped pearl hairpin in her hand. After listening to Lan Fu's instructions, she combed Lan Fu's hair briefly and then gently placed the pearl hairpin on Lan Fu's head.
Lan Fu's black hair naturally fell on her shoulders and back, looking very bright. She was not like the other Fujin, who took a long time to dress up and ended up being cumbersome.
Perhaps Lanfu was born with a natural beauty. Coupled with the pink silky satin, Lanfu seemed to be dancing in the flowers.
"Ce Fujin, why didn't you apply makeup? If it was just a little embellishment, Fujin, you would definitely be gorgeous!”Qiu Ruo was standing at the side, looking at Lan Fu's beautiful face. She felt amazed and regretful.
"You don't understand, do you? Natural beauty is more pleasing to the eye than beauty that is embellished. A thick face makes people feel tired of aesthetics!”
About two hours later, someone came to inform Lan Fu that a sedan chair was coming to pick him up. Lan Fu must have asked Qiu Ruo to accompany him.
When Lan Fu arrived at Chengyun Hall, she saw that Situ Shi and Tuoba Qian had already arrived.
Lan Fu saw that the Situ family was glamorous. It was not difficult to imagine why the Situ family could become the Fujin! That was to be good at taking care of oneself.
"Younger sister, you're so late. His highness and I are already annoyed from waiting!”When Mrs. Situ saw Lan Fu coming over, she was the first to talk.
"Lan Fu deserves to die…I didn't know that wangye and jiejie would come so early, making wangye and jiejie wait for too long! "Please forgive me, Your Highness and sister…" Lan Fu bowed and apologized sincerely.
"I didn't wait long. It's good that you're here.”Tuoba Qian said calmly to Lan Fu.
Lan Fu was startled when she heard Tuoba Qian suddenly helping her out of the predicament. However, when she raised her head, she saw Tuoba Qian's strange gaze. It seemed that Tuoba Qian had been looking at her since the first time he saw her.
"Thank you, Your Highness…" Lan Fu thanked Tuoba Qian.
"Younger Sister is dressed elegantly today and has a different charm. Usually, I don't pay much attention to Younger Sister, but now that she's dressed up, she's also like a lotus out of water!”
Mrs. Situ praised Lan Fu generously, making Lan Fu feel a little embarrassed.
"Elder sister is too kind. How can I compare to elder sister? Elder sister is a true beauty.”Lan Fu replied politely.
"Sister, you have to dress up more in the future. Isn't there a saying that goes,'A woman should dress up for someone who likes her'? Only then will wangye dote on you even more. Don't you think so, wangye?”
"Sister is right, but when are we leaving now?”Lan Fu didn't want to continue discussing useless topics with Situ Shi, so she changed the topic.
"Let's go now." Tuoba Qian looked away from Lan Fu and said to the two of them indifferently.
Tuoba Qian had noticed that Lan Fu's attire today seemed to be different from before.
Tuoba Qian had always thought that Lan Fu was just a beautiful woman without many good points. But now, wasn't the person in front of him a beauty that stunned him?
However, Tuoba Qian did not do anything inappropriate and merely took a few more glances at him.
After entering the palace, Lan Fu felt that the situation was not much different from what he had expected.
However, the Emperor did not seem to have come yet. Lan Fu only saw Consort Shu whom she had seen before.
Lan Fu carefully sized up Consort Shu. Consort Shu had also dressed up meticulously. She wore a long blue-purple robe and a peach-colored shawl on the outside. Her hair was tied up high and was adorned with dazzling precious gems. Only in this way could he win the favor of the Holy Emperor.
According to Lan Fu's understanding, Consort Shu was currently the Emperor's most favored concubine. In a month, the Emperor would most likely come to her Ruyan Palace.
Before Tuoba Qian and the others could even greet the people they knew, all their actions were interrupted by the words " The Emperor has arrived."
After the ceremony, everyone sat down.
