"Husband!" Turning around and seeing the familiar figure of the man, Shen Wan hurriedly ran over.
The rest of the people bowed down and saluted, "See you, Your Majesty!"
"We are all a family, so there is no need to be polite in private."
"Thank you, Lord!"
These etiquettes were omitted for their own little girl, but for the regent, they still had to have them.
When Qi Yan arrived, the atmosphere in the entire Zhenguo Palace immediately became different and became a lot more tense.
"Everyone, please come inside quickly."
Shen Wan broke the silence with a smile, but what she expected was that no one left, but they all moved to the sides very consciously, obviously with the intention of letting Qi Yan go first.
If they were allowed to go first and followed behind, the people in front would be more awkward and reserved. Qi Yan did not refuse and pulled the girl to walk in front.
"Madam, why did you run over here without waiting for me?" Qi Yan gently pinched the girl's face and communicated with her at a volume that only the two of them could hear.
"Didn't I say I wouldn't let you come?" Shen Wan frowned.
"You are reunited with this family, and you don't take me with you, leaving me alone in the empty room, okay?" Qi Yan raised his eyebrows in displeasure.
"I'm just going to have a meal. It's not like I won't go back in the evening. Don't you like banquets and stuff like that?"
"The family dinner is a different matter."
The two of them were whispering to each other, and everyone had already entered the room. The atmosphere became a little weirder in the guilty space.
"My lord and princess, please take a seat." Xie Wending waved his hand and pointed to the seat of honor.
They all said they wouldn't let him come, but if he insisted on coming, he knew that with the giant Buddha of her man here, their family dinner would definitely not be as relaxing as it could be.
Shen Wan glared at the man unhappily.
Qi Yan, who was innocent and rejected: "..."
"This is the Xie family. My grandfather is the host, and I am the guest. Guests are welcome to do as they please. My grandfather, father-in-law, mother-in-law, and uncle, please sit down first.
Today, I am attending the family banquet as Wanwan’s husband. Please do not be shy because of my status.
If Wanwan is not happy with this meal, I'm afraid I will have to stand outside the door to watch you eat at family banquets like this in the future. "
ha?
Everyone was a little stunned by what Qi Yan said, but Xie Nantian, who had always been dull, came to his senses first and burst out laughing.
"In our Xie family, women have always had a higher status than men. It seems that the prince has followed the local customs."
In the past, when Emperor Wenxuan was in power, Qi Yan had always kept a low profile. As soon as he assisted the government as regent, Xie Nantian was sent to the border to resist the Zhaolie Kingdom's attack.
There wasn't much negotiation between the two, but the regent was well-known for his thunderous tactics, and it was Qi Yan who made the decisions regarding the battle situation.
Xie Nantian is somewhat of a phobia of kings.
He does the tasks he is given and does not communicate when there is nothing else. This is the principle he has followed for many years as an official.
When he saw Qi Yan appear earlier, he felt quite awkward. If possible, he would even wish to drive him away, otherwise, he would definitely not be able to enjoy his meal.
Now that I heard the man say this, I suddenly had a good impression of him because of his down-to-earth words.
For a moment, I was so excited that I almost put my hand on the man's shoulder, ready to call him brother.
"Nantian, don't be rude to the prince."
After being stared at and scolded by the Duke of Lao Zhen, Xie Nantian finally came back to his senses and silently lowered his half-raised arm.
"It's okay. My uncle is right. I am indeed a strict wife. At home, Wanwan has the final say. So, everyone, please sit down quickly, otherwise I may not be able to return home tonight."
After the words fell, Qi Yan still stood obediently, with the attitude of a junior, waiting for the elders to take their seats first.
This is what the men said. If they don't sit down, they will lose face.
After Xie Wending sat down at the main seat, the others followed him in no particular order.
Because of Qi Yan's easy-going attitude, the atmosphere instantly became much more relaxed.
Xie Nantian was still worried when he heard the news that his little girl had married the regent, but now that he met Qi Yan, his attitude immediately changed.
His nephew and son-in-law were so lovable that they felt sympathy for each other. After toasting with Xie Wending, Xie Nantian immediately poured another glass and took Qi Yan to drink with him.
Normally, you are not allowed to drink in the military camp. Xie Nantian has been holding back alcohol for the past three years. Looking at him like this, he seems to be trying to stay drunk with Qi Yan.
"Drink less and eat more vegetables!"
This silly son of his really shines when given some sunshine. It was his first time for his grandson and son-in-law to come to the house. He had not even eaten a few bites of food, but he kept trying to get him to drink wine.
The Duke of Laozhen couldn't stand it and warned him loudly, but Xie Nantian was so energetic that he could not be heard.
"It doesn't matter. Since uncle is so interested, I will have a drink with him today." Qi Yan was rarely easy to talk to.
Seeing the two people drinking happily, Shen Ruhai couldn't help but feel a little itchy.
Are you a bit addicted to alcohol or is it the second most important thing...
