Chapter 1305 Banquet

The main purpose of the envoy sent by Northern Qi this time was to bring Yao Shuibi back.

Therefore, the envoy represents the Northern Qi royal family, not Hua Jinmo and Hua Xiaowangye.

Yun Dai thought that the Northern Qi royal family would send some minister or something, but who knew that it was the Northern Qi prince Xiao Ziye who came.

Not to mention Yun Dai, even Zhao Yuanjing was surprised.

How could a mere Yao Shuibi have such weight?

Anyone who has a little knowledge of the Northern Qi Dynasty knows that the Northern Qi royal family has very few heirs. This current emperor only gave birth to one son and not even a daughter.

The only prince was made a prince not long after he was born.

Although he was raised and cared for, he was still frail and sickly.

It can be said that the current Northern Qi royal family has reached a critical and extremely weak point.

No wonder Hua Jinmo is so arrogant.

Yun Dai didn't quite understand why the Northern Qi Emperor was willing to send such a sick man as an envoy to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This long distance, if something goes wrong on the road, will the Northern Qi royal family not be able to succeed?

What's more, although the sick prince had married a princess long ago, he had not given birth to a son or a daughter because of his weak body.

It's also sad.

Yun Dai also asked Zhao Yuanjing about this.

Zhao Yuanjing said: "Actually, there is nothing incomprehensible. The prince of Northern Qi personally came to envoy, which shows that the Northern Qi royal family attaches great importance to the secrets mastered by Yao Shuibi. In addition, they also attach great importance to our artillery."

Yun Dai smiled and said, "It turns out I came here to discuss business."

"This is a business involving millions of taels of silver. How can we not take it seriously?"

When the Prince of Northern Qi arrives, the standard of reception must be raised.

The emperor personally received him, held a banquet in the palace, and invited Xiao Ziye and members of the envoy to the banquet.

As the queen, Yun Dai also accompanied the emperor to attend this banquet.

During this time, her body also recovered. The original paleness and thinness disappeared, and she regained her round face and sweet appearance with deep dimples.

Early in the morning, she got up to wash herself, put on her phoenix robe and crown, and took a sedan chair to the Fengtian Hall where the banquet was held.

Shang Baosi was in charge of this banquet and was already busy.

The musicians, dancers, acrobats, etc. from the Jiaofang Division were also waiting outside the hall before dawn.

Yun Dai waited for the emperor to come together, and the emperor and empress came to the hall together.

Those who are eligible to attend the banquet include, in addition to the emperor and empress, the princes, county kings and other royal family members, and then the ministers of the fourth rank and above in the court.

Now there are only three princes left in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Prince Qin Zhao Shu sits first on the left side of the throne. As for the other two, Prince Zhao Yuanzhen of Jin, he became crazy and delirious after his whole family died at the hands of King Cheng.

It’s been a long, long time since I left Jin Prince’s Mansion.

The remaining Prince Yi, Zhao Yuanhe, was also imprisoned in the mansion and was not allowed to go out.

There are quite a few county kings, all of whom were from the previous emperor's time, or were passed down to their sons.

The remaining princes, marquises, and earls were also present.

In addition, Zhuang Yunshu also came.

She is the ninth concubine, which is not low. In addition, the envoy from the Northern Qi Dynasty is here. As a noble daughter of the Northern Qi Dynasty, she should come to see her.

Ming Lao Houye also came.

According to his temperament, he would be impatient to attend such a banquet. But after the new emperor ascended the throne, he held a rare banquet, and when he heard that the queen was also attending, he came unexpectedly.
