The next day, just after Mao hour, someone came to wake them up.

These days, the two of them were very tired for this day, so after being woken up, Nan Yan was still a little confused and couldn't even open his eyes. Zhu Feng turned around and looked at her sleepy appearance and couldn't help laughing, "Do you want to lie down for a while?"

When Nan Yan heard this, he was shocked and opened his eyes wide: "No!"

Zhu Feng said: "Look at how sleepy you are, don't doze off outside later."

Nan Yan shook his head vigorously, as if he was about to shake his sleepiness out of his head, and then said, "It's okay, I'm not sleepy."

After saying that, he turned over and got out of bed. Ruoshui and the others immediately came in to serve the two of them, and got up and washed up. After everything was done, Zhu Feng could not have breakfast, so he had to go to Taimiao to eat incense first.

Zhu Feng looked back at Nanyan and said, "You can accompany me to go there."

Nan Yan said: "Your Majesty has gone there, and I still have a lot of things to do here."

“…”

Zhu Feng's face darkened for a moment, and without saying a word, he turned around and walked out.

When Nan Yan saw that he looked like he was, he seemed a little unhappy, but for some reason, this was obviously a small matter. Besides, he had such a big matter until today. As a concubine, Nan Yan, who stayed in the palace, had many things to deal with, so he would not be angry with himself early in the morning for such a small matter.

So she sent the emperor out at the door and then returned to the room.

Aunt Tongyun had already walked over and said, "The imperial kitchen is coming to send breakfast to the empress. The empress is first--"

Nan Yan waved his hand and said, "There is no need for breakfast. Let them take the menu today. I want to see it again. I don't have to eat breakfast, just bring some snacks."

Aunt Tongyun couldn't do it, so she could only respond.

As soon as she left, another figure flashed from the door. Nanyan looked up and saw that it was Xiao Shunzi. Nanyan said in surprise: "Didn't you follow the emperor to Taimiao? What are you going back to do?"

Xiao Shunzi walked in and whispered: "Why don't the Empress understand the Emperor's thoughts?"

Nan Yan frowned slightly, realizing something: "Is the emperor angry?"

"I'm angry, but I'm not angry, but on this day, the emperor naturally hopes that the empress can always be with the emperor."

“…”

Nan Yan couldn't help but smile and muttered, "It's not a child."

Xiao Shunzi held back his laughter, stretched out his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth, and then said, "I am here to pass the message. The emperor gave the order. If the emperor has not come back yet, let the empress go to the Taimiao in person."

Nanyan heard it even more inexplicably.

The official start of the banquet is at 3:00. Since you are afraid that you can't catch up, just ask the people around you to remind you. Why do you have to go there by yourself?

Or is it that today, Zhu Feng must be willful because of his birthday?

But no matter what, this was the order of His Majesty the Emperor. Nan Yan had no choice but to agree. Xiao Shunzi also reminded her a few more words, "Don't go there at Si Shi," and then turned around and left. I think she would follow her to Taimiao."

Looking at his back, Nan Yan shook his head helplessly.

At this time, the imperial kitchen brought the menu that had just been drafted last night and two plates of exquisite snacks. Nanyan didn't have time to eat it, so he took the menu and looked carefully.

Ruoshui stood aside, glanced at the menu, and said strangely: "Why, the menus of each special envoy are different."

Nanyan looked and said, "Yes."

"But every time I held a banquet before, wasn't it done according to the list of the imperial kitchen?"

"This time is different from before. Those who come to different countries are envoys from different countries. Their eating habits are different. Some do not eat pork, some do not eat beef, and some do not eat meat."

"ah?"

"So, the Imperial kitchen specially discussed with the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple for a long time before finally setting these things. The special envoy of the Anxu Kingdom arrived last night, so the list was revised."

Ruoshui sighed lightly, "I'm so hard."

Nan Yan looked back at her: "Don't be naughty today, I will not be so hard."

Ruoshui immediately pouted and said, "The Empress is too underestimating people."

Nan Yan laughed, and then said, "Go and see the princess and the King of Han, let them see the hour. They are not allowed to sleep in today, and they do not need to doze off in the hall."

Ruoshui responded and went down immediately.

After reading the menu, Nanyan pointed out that two of them needed modifications, sent them back to the imperial kitchen, and re-checked the list of guests for today's banquet.

Although Yan Kingdom has had frequent exchanges with overseas and Western Regions countries in recent years, Zhu Feng even met with the special envoy of the Sabre Country on the border, it was the first time to meet so many special envoys from the many countries. There were thousands of people on the scene, so naturally we had to verify it clearly and not make any mistakes.

Although today's banquet was big, there were not many sessions.

The first item is that after the emperor and his concubines sat down first, the envoys from various countries met His Majesty in order and presented congratulatory gifts; the second item is that all civil and military officials met with each other, and everyone congratulated His Majesty’s birthday together; the third item is singing, dancing, and banquets.

It looks very simple.

But the simpler, the more complicated it is. Especially today, there are so many people coming here. Even if a sentence is wrong, it is likely to be recorded. Therefore, whether it is the emperor, the imperial concubine, or the cabinet minister, it is necessary to ensure that today's banquet is foolproof.

After checking the list, Nanyan gave the list to the people below.

At this time, Nan Yan breathed a sigh of relief, swallowed two pieces of snacks in the tea, then raised his head and asked, "When is it?"

Aunt Tongyun said, "June has just passed."

"Where is the emperor?"

"The emperor is still in Taimiao."

"It's still in Taimiao..."

Nan Yan frowned slightly.

The banquet started at the beginning of the three-minute meeting of Si Shi. Now it’s just that Chen Shi, there’s no need to worry. But she remembered Zhu Feng’s unhappy appearance just now and said to Xiao Shunzi—

It seems that today, I really have to go to Taimiao again.

Fortunately, the things in front of you have been handled almost completely.

She took a breath and was about to let someone go out to see again, Delu ran in from outside and whispered: "Empress, Your Highness the Crown Prince and Your Highness the Crown Princess, brought Mr. Gu and a special envoy into the palace."

"oh?"

When Nan Yan heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

She knew very well that it was not time to open the palace gate, and the palace gate would not open until Si Shi. At this time, all the envoys and their entourages should be waiting outside the Nangong Gate, but the prince and the princess actually brought an envoy into the palace with him.

No need to guess, it must be the Special Envoy of the Bible Kingdom.

So Nanyan immediately said, "Bring them in."

After saying that, he immediately said, "Look at some people, don't make a big fuss."

Delu took the order and hurriedly ran out. After a while, he saw him walking in with the prince, princess, and Gu Yiyou. Following them was a familiar figure.
