Chapter 78 This King Only Wants You

The banquet continued, and a Xiliang dancer holding a musical instrument appeared in the banquet hall, singing and dancing in the middle of the snow-white carpet.

The atmosphere warmed up, and Yan continued to accept the toasts from the courtiers. Although he was a little drunk, he still remembered everyone's name and identity. The person who impressed him the most was Feralas.His toasts were really too long, like the wheels of a cart, with every sentence inseparable from "happy marriage, early birth of a precious child", until Usman glared at him, he stopped and let the next minister come up to congratulate.

Yan was surprised that no one from the Priest Tower was present at the banquet. He had heard from Usman before that they had to get involved everywhere.

Just as Yan was thinking about it, the priest tower sent someone.They were two young crow spirit warlocks dressed in black from head to toe. The gift they brought was a gem-studded dagger, which looked very luxurious.

For the uninvited guests, Usman naturally didn't have a good face, thanked them politely, and please leave.

"This gift is pretty good." Yan looked at the dagger in his hand, it was quite heavy, the smooth scabbard was made of ivory, and the biggest gemstone on the handle was a golden opal.In fact, such daggers are generally not used to kill enemies, but are ornaments hung on the belt.

Before Yan could pull out the dagger to try the blade, Usman took it away and put a pair of chopsticks in his hand, "Yanyan, eat more

Come on, you've been drinking all night, aren't you afraid that your stomach will feel uncomfortable? "

Yan picked up his chopsticks and began to eat the deliciously grilled black fish in front of him.Although the shape of the fish is complete, the bones of the fish have been removed, and it is presented with matsutake mushrooms, peppers, and caviar in a beautiful and delicious way: "Don't take my dagger for yourself."

"How come, even I belong to you." Usman laughed.But let Yalta take down the dagger.How dare he let Yan play with the gift from Priest Tower without checking it.

"Hmph." Yan bit the fish and glared at him, "Who wants you?"

"But if you don't want it, the king won't want it. Don't you think it's very pitiful?" After Usman finished speaking, he suddenly stood up holding the wine bottle.

When everyone saw him get up, they stood up one after another.Yan put down his chopsticks and stood up too.

"Presumably everyone already knows that Xiliang will marry the Great Yan Kingdom, and this king will marry the handsome and mighty Prince Yonghe as his wife." Usman paused, and there was a burst of warm applause during the banquet. When he spoke again It was quiet again.

"This king is in love with Prince Yonghe alone. Although the prince is open-minded by nature, he has been persuading this king to continue to favor the concubines at the banquet, but this king thinks that there will be a couple for a lifetime. Since you plan to marry a wife, you can't mess around anymore. This king After deciding to drink this glass of wine, I will say goodbye to all the concubines. Of course, this king will not treat you badly, there is no shortage of gold, silver, jewelry, houses and land, and this king even allows you to change your name and remarry."

"What?!" All the beauties turned pale with shock.They never thought about leaving the king and the palace. They always thought that they came here today to meet the future queen.

Why did the prince's cleansing banquet suddenly become their dismissal banquet?

The courtiers at the banquet were also in an uproar.There is no emperor who does not want a harem. It is true that Emperor Dayan is the same. He only married a regent, but Xiliang is different. Xiliang has open folk customs, and polygamy is normal.

"Your Majesty, if His Highness the Prince does not object to having a concubine in the palace, then..." Even Feralas felt that it was inappropriate, and tried to persuade him.

"This king has made up his mind, so you don't need to say more. Not only will this king no longer have concubines to spoil you from this moment, but from now on, there will only be queen Chunyuyan by my side," Usman said seriously, "Anyone who wants this king to accept a concubine for any reason will be killed without mercy."

Usman's voice was not loud, but everyone could hear it clearly, especially those wealthy tribal businessmen who were lucky enough to come to the banquet, and bowed in fear to express their acceptance.

The concubines have gone from laughing and having fun just now to now hugging each other and crying. Princess Mingyue looked at them and sighed secretly.

From ancient times to the present, there has never been a practice of concubines being kicked out of the palace without making mistakes. Although the emperor has a reason, it is also very cruel.Even if they were asked to change their names and remarry, the days to come would not be as comfortable as in the palace, not to mention the status of concubines, even if they remarried to the tribal king, it would not be as good as before.

Yan glanced at Usman, and was about to say something when Hina stood up unsteadily.She was drunk, her face was stained with tears, and her makeup was a bit fancy, but it didn't detract from her beauty.

"Your Majesty, you want to drive my concubine away?" Hina swayed a little, she looked at Usman with tears in her eyes and said, "But this concubine doesn't want to go anywhere except by your side, or you can do me a favor, Cichen Concubine die!"

"Your Majesty..." The personal maid hurriedly supported her in fright, "What are you doing?"

"What am I doing? It's him!" Hina's bright red fingers poked straight at Yan behind the chairperson's desk, "It's him! Ask him what he did?! A man is so shameless that he robs a woman of her husband... ..."

"Shut up." Usman frowned, a little angry, "Xina is drunk, take her down. Let the imperial doctor look at her."

"Yes, yes!" The maid and eunuch quickly helped her leave.

Although the others were not crying like Hina, they also looked like they were crying and lost their souls.

"Are you clearing the house for me?" Yan couldn't help but said, "You know I won't be grateful to you."

"Yanyan, you said you would not interfere in this matter."

"You...!" Yan wanted to ask if this would be too unfeeling, and Princess Mingyue at the side gently pulled Yan's sleeve, signaling that she had something to say.

"Mingyue, are you alright?" Yan thought she was frightened by this crying scene.

"I'm fine. I just think that the real ruthlessness is that the king neither favors them nor lets them go out of the palace."

"Ok?"

"Yan, how many emperors in this world can accept the remarriage of concubines? So you have to understand your majesty, what he does seems heartless, but in fact it is good for everyone. Even sister Xi Na will have a day to understand. After all Jun Shang is not in love with her, no matter what she does, the result will be nothing but waste."

Yan was stunned when he heard the words. He didn't expect that although Mingyue couldn't see, his heart was like a mirror. Not only could he see through his thoughts, but he could also see through Usman's intentions...

"Of course, this is just my humble opinion. If you think it's inappropriate..."

"No, you're right." Yan smiled slightly, "I was confused for a moment."

For those concubines, the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain.If they left the palace, they might still find a husband who truly loved each other. If they stayed in the palace reluctantly, and Usman ignored them, it would be like being thrown into limbo at a young age, and even more desperate.

Of course, for some ministers and wealthy businessmen, the beauties sent to the palace after thousands of choices were all driven out by the emperor, and they were very upset, but they did not dare to question the emperor in court, and they all drank bitterly. Boozy.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty has offended many people because of you." Mingyue didn't say this. She is a tribal princess and is not allowed to interfere in the royal family's political affairs, so she just sighed in her heart. It seems that Your Majesty is really tempted. .

Having said that, it's not just Junshang, if the other party is Chun Yuyan, even she who has never been interested in love will be moved.

"You guys go down too." Usman ordered again, making the other concubines leave too.

With so many people gone, the banquet hall became quite quiet all of a sudden, and it was getting late at night, so Princess Mingyue stood up and asked to resign.

Usman didn't hold back, but asked Jinayali to send the princess back to rest.

What follows is basically a men's scene, hookah and strong wine, it's so boring, the female relatives all leave first.

The singing and dancing continued, but it was replaced by sword dancing and juggling. The ministers talked and laughed or were solemn or depressed, each with their own thoughts, but obviously this feast will not end until dawn.

Yan drank glass after glass of wine, then looked at Usman and asked, "How much do you know about Mingyue?"

"I knew you would ask that." Usman looked at Yan with a smile on his face. "When I saw her before, she was a little girl. She was cute and clever. When I saw her last year, I was shocked. She looks quite similar to your imperial brother, so I found someone to investigate Mingyue's life experience..."

"And then?" Yan Bujue straightened his back, leaning his shoulders towards Usman.

"Mingyue's great-grandmother is the princess Yuanzhen of Dayan Kingdom, she is a peerless beauty." Usman said, "Ming Ying, the patriarch of the Mingyue tribe at the time, came across the princess in the capital when he visited Dayan, and Forge a good relationship, and then through the marriage granted by Emperor Dayan, Princess Yuanzhen will marry to Xiliang."

"Princess Yuanzhen was mentioned by the palace people when I was a child." Yan suddenly recalled the name, "They said that my imperial sister Ke Rou looks a bit like Princess Yuanzhen back then. I also heard that Princess Yuanzhen After the princess married a foreign country, the prince missed her daughter very much, and died of illness... The palace gradually disintegrated without anyone in charge. I haven't heard anything about her since then, and I never thought that what I see now is actually the princess descendants of..."

"Yanyan, she is your cousin, but the relationship is a bit distant." Usman said, "After all, she is from the generation of my grandma."

"I thought... she was also from the Wuque tribe." Yan said dully, not knowing what Usman was muttering in his heart.

"Unfortunately, she is not." Usman said, "However, if the Wuque people really have a lineage in Xiliang, I believe I can help you find it."

Yan looked at Usman, and said after a while, "Thank you."

"Thank you, we are getting married soon, and we still see each other like this." Usman joked, as usual.

But Yan couldn't laugh, it was probably what Mingyue said, "Cooking sand and carving out ice is a waste of time", he and Usman did the same thing.

His heart suddenly ached.

"What's going on?" Yan Bujue rubbed his chest, stunned for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

The sky gradually brightened, the singing and dancing stopped, and the ministers got up one after another to bid farewell to Usman and Prince Dayan.

It was almost time for everyone to leave, Yan finished his last glass of wine, put down the glass, and stood up.

The scene in front of him suddenly whirled, and the flowers were so blurry, Yan pressed the countertop and muttered: "Don't move."

"I didn't move the table." If Yan didn't leave, Usman wouldn't leave either.

"I didn't mention you." Yan's face wasn't too red, but his ears were burning red.He wanted to leave the table, but the ground was uneven and he couldn't walk straight.

"Yanyan, be careful!" Seeing that Yan Duo was seriously drunk, Usman quickly reached out to support him.

"Your Highness!" Shen Fangyu appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Yan's left arm.

"You..." Yan stared at Shen Fangyu on the left and said, "Where have you been wandering all night?"

"Lang?" Shen Fangyu heard Yan say this for the first time, and knew that he was drunk, "The humble officer is guarding outside, and he hasn't gone anywhere."

"Really?" Yan snorted, wanted to move forward, but found that he couldn't move.

Shen Fangyu held his left arm, Usman held his right wrist, and he was sandwiched between them.

"The king will send the prince back to rest," Usman said in a deep voice, "Shen Fangyu, you step back."

"Protecting the prince is the duty of a humble official, so I will not bother you, Your Majesty." Shen Fangyu replied, and took Yan to his side.

Yan's shoulders leaned to the left, but Usman quickly pulled him over.

"Yanyan is my fiancé. He is drunk, so I have to send him to see him off." Usman put his arm on Yan's shoulder.

Shen Fangyu glanced at Usman's hand covered with precious rings, and said with a cold smile: "You also said that you are only a fiancée, that is, you are not yet married, and the prince is still the prince of Dayan Kingdom, so naturally he will be sent by a humble official."

"Shen Fangyu." Usman's eyes flashed with anger, "You can see clearly that this is the Xiliang Kingdom, the king is the master, you are the guest, and the guest follows the master, you don't understand?"

"You are threatening..."

"It's so noisy!!" Yan, who was already dizzy, was pulled back and forth by the two of them, and he was covered in sweat without saying a word, and he kept nagging in his ears, flying around his head like a swarm of wasps.He shook his hand vigorously, and the two people on the left and right backed up three steps at the same time.

"Don't help anyone! I'll go by myself!" After Yan finished speaking, his feet stopped shaking and he strode away.

Usman and Shen Fangyu watched Yan leave eagerly until only they and Yalta were left in the hall.

"Resign from the humble position." Shen Fangyu left after speaking.

"Hmph, sooner or later I'll catch you and feed Shuangya." Usman frowned, and when he stepped down the steps, he realized that he was a little dizzy. He also drank too much today.

"Your Majesty." Yalta stepped forward to help.

"No need." Usman waved his hand and said, "Forget it, this king should go back and rest too, it's already dawn."

"Yes, Your Majesty." As soon as Yalta got out of the way, Wuweiying immediately stepped forward and escorted Usman back to the dormitory.
