The road ahead was not easy to squeeze through. Shi Qingluo could roughly guess what Liang Youxiao had done this time after listening to the commoners’ conversation.

It was no wonder that the road leading to the Imperial Palace was so crowded that not even water could leak out.

It was everyone’s first time seeing foreigners and animals that they had never seen before, so their curiosity was piqued.

Liang Yijia said with a bitter face, ‘Mother, what should we do? We can’t even squeeze in.”

Shi Qingluo thought for a moment. “It looks like your Uncle Xiao is going to bring the foreign emissaries into the palace. Those animals will definitely be presented to the Emperor. Let’s go directly to the palace to take a look.”

This way, they didn’t have to squeeze anymore. The key was that they couldn’t squeeze in.

Liang Yijia and Liang Yiran’s eyes lit up. They clapped and said, “Alright, let’s go into the palace to take a look.”

Liang Hengyan also clapped his hands. “Go, go.”

The Emperor and Empress Dowager liked the three little ones very much, so tney gave tnem a t0Ken to enter tne palace. AS long as tney wanted to enter tne palace, they could enter at any time.

Kong Yuelan had a good relationship with the Empress Dowager’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. She also had dealings with the Empress’ sister-in-law, so she often entered the palace.

Hearing her daughter-in-law’s suggestion, she smiled and said, “Alright, then let’s bring them to the palace to take a look. At that time, they can take a closer look.”

She was actually very curious about the foreigners with yellow hair and blue eyes.

She also wanted to see the animals that her daughter-in-law had told her stories about. She did not expect to see them in real life one day.

Shi Qingluo nodded. “Okay, then let’s go back to the carriage and enter the palace directly.”

The two of them entered the palace with the three little ones and met Xi Rui and Xiao Baili at the gate.

He was also prepared to bring his wife to the palace to join in the fun.

Thus, the team grew stronger.

Not only them, but many members of the royal family had also heard about it. Because the streets were too crowded, they could not see it at all, so they all came to the palace.

The Emperor didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he found out, but he could understand.

Therefore, a banquet was held, allowing officials of the fifth rank and above who were interested to bring their families into the palace to participate.

It could also be considered as him welcoming the foreign emissaries.

The imperial edict was quickly passed down. The officials above the fifth rank did not hesitate and immediately brought their families into the palace to watch the show.

Shi Qingluo and the others were also arranged to the best seats.

People arrived one after another and were arranged to sit down by the palace attendants.

King Yi, who was originally in the palace, heard that his wife and son were here as well, so he came over to join in the fun.

Xiao Hanzheng and his colleagues also entered the palace from the Ministry of Revenue.

For this kind of palace banquet, men and women naturally sat separately.

After seeing their biological father, the two little ones could not sit still anymore and kept waving at him.

Xiao Hanzheng waved at them and then gestured for them to sit down.

The two little ones sat down obediently, as if they were especially obedient.

His colleagues from the Ministry of Revenue were envious. “Lord Liang, your twins are really adorable.”

“Yeah, my father went to the wedding banquet last time and started urging me to have a few more children.”

Someone even joked, “My grandfather went back too. He said that he wanted to bring Master Liang’s twins home to raise.”

Xiao Hanzheng smiled modestly. “They can be naughty sometimes.”

However, his two little ones were very smart. If they were too naughty, they would take the initiative to act coquettishly and admit their mistakes.

Many times, he wanted to be a strict father, but his efforts were ruined by the two little ones’ coquettishness.

He had no choice but to be a loving father.

When almost everyone had arrived, the Emperor also brought the Empress and the Empress Dowager over.

It was obvious that the Empress and the Empress Dowager were also curious about foreigners and animals that they had never seen before.

The Crown Prince and the other princes also brought their families over.

The Crown Prince’s son was five years old this year. He was a very cute little boy and was usually taught very well.

However, after seeing the two little ones, he could not sit still anymore.

“Consort Mother, can I go play with Ran Ran and Jia Jia?” he asked the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess was naturally happy that her son had a good relationship with the children of the Liang Family. “Go ahead.”

Previously, she had seen that her son liked to play with the twins and had some thoughts about it.

For example, letting her son marry Liang Yijia.

The twins often entered the palace, and she would meet them sometimes. They were indeed very likable, and she liked them too.

However, her husband said that Shi Qingluo and her husband would not agree to it. With their personalities, they would not marry any prince.

She was skeptical and had asked Shi Qingluo about it at a banquet not long ago.

As expected, not only did Shi Qingluo not go along with her words, she even said that Liang Yijia’s marriage in the future would depend on her daughter’s own liking. Her identity was not important.

The key was who wanted to marry Liang Yijia. Shi Qingluo said that she had a request, and that was not to take concubines.

Obviously, she had no intention of marrying the imperial family, so she gave up.

After all, as long as her husband successfully sat on the throne in the future, her son would also be the crown prince. It was impossible for him to only have one crown princess.

Just like her husband, even if he didn’t like women, he still had concubines.

From another perspective, if it was her daughter, she naturally hoped that her future son-in-law would only be with her daughter.

Hence, she did not blame Shi Qingluo at that time. It was just a pity.

A moment later, Liang Youxiao walked in with the foreign envoy.

Behind him were carts pushed by guards. On them were large cages containing animals brought back from abroad.

The people present looked at the blue-eyed, yellow-haired, red-haired, and brown-eyed foreigners with amazement.

A few women were wearing the royal attire of European nobles of this century. The area below the neck was exposed, and the waves were very obvious.

There were also two beautiful young women wearing off-shoulder dresses.

The ministers were curious and forced themselves not to look at these women.

The old pedants wanted to scold them for being an insult to their culture. This kind of dress was simply immoral.

Many of the madams and young ladies were also shocked by the way these women dressed, and they all looked embarrassed.

However, they were all women. They could not help but look at these foreign women.

When they saw animals like lions and giraffes, their attention was attracted by animals again.

Shi Qingluo was also admiring the women of medieval Europe. It could be seen that their etiquette was very standard. They should all be nobles.

Liang Youxiao brought the foreign emissary to greet him and even acted as an interpreter.

He was especially grateful to Shi Qingluo. If she hadn’t taught him how to speak foreign languages in advance and taught him the etiquette of foreign countries, he wouldn’t have been able to do so well abroad.

When the Emperor saw these foreigners and animals, he was also amazed.

He didn’t expect such people to live on the other side of the sea. There were many countries.

He received the foreign emissary with more dignity and courtesy.

Then, a young woman in a strapless dress took the initiative to hold Liang Youxiao’s arm, wanting to sit beside him.

“You and this lady?” the Emperor asked.

Liang Youxiao smiled generously and said, “Your Majesty, this is my fiancée, Daisy. She is a noble lady from Great Britain.”

The Emperor was stunned when he heard this. “You want to marry this foreign woman?”

Liang Youxiao looked at Daisy, who was holding his arm intimately, and nodded. “That’s right. We’ve already promised each other for life.”

When Old Master Liang heard this, he almost spat out the wine in his mouth.

Liang Shizi’s expression also changed. He did not expect his son to give them such a big ‘surprise’ as soon as he returned..
