Section 68: Palace Banquet

Two days later, a small banquet was held at the palace to welcome the arrival of Liu Erniang, the youngest daughter of Prime Minister Liu to the palace.

She will be crowned as a concubine after the banquet is over. Currently, Emperor Baili had only invited a few high ministers and the royal nuclear family.

This was not something that could be celebrated with great ceremony.

The convoy of King Changle's family came along with the convoy of Family Liu. Their horse-drawn carriage was parked at the gate of the palace along with several other horse-drawn carriages.

Guard soldiers will take care of it. The two families who are still in touch are walking without greeting each other.

As expected, Liu Erniang actually wore the red dress that Qingyi gave him. People were amazed to see beauty number two in Bingyue walking gracefully in the palace court with a luxurious dress with a long tail.

Coupled with a headdress of gold crowns and enough makeup, Liu Erniang incarnated like a goddess who descended to earth.

“He really feels himself a phoenix, huh? Just look at how this eagle will peck you down,” Qingyi murmured.

The two families were welcomed to Xueyue Palace, a magnificent palace often used for large banquets. This is so weird. It was clearly just a small banquet to welcome Liu Erniang, but it was instead held in a grand grand palace. Everyone thought Emperor Baili had other intentions, because his treatment and speech were contrary to each other.

On the right is the seat of imperial elders such as the Empress Dowager or Queen Mother, Empress Dowager Sun, the previous emperor's concubines, and also the high ministers.

Meanwhile, at the very back right was the seat of the emperor's family, the concubines and the brothers of the emperor. As Qingyi counted it, it turned out that Emperor Baili's wives were more numerous than she had expected.

King Changle and his consort sat on the right at the very front, facing directly with the elders and ministers.

Qingyi immediately seized the most comfortable and most strategic seat, while Baili Qingchen sat in the middle, flanked by Qingyi and Xiao Junjie. Seeing this scene, people inevitably gossiped.

Rumor has it that Princess Consort Changle and Prince Consort, aka the Little Prince did not get along. But, looking at today's scene filled with tolerance, it felt like the rumors were deliberately made to enliven the imperial city.

If the two don't get along, where is it possible that they sit parallel. The position of the Empress Princess was higher, and she should feel uneasy if the Little Prince sat down parallel to her.

Though they did not know that Qingyi and Xiao Junjie were eternal enemies.

At first glance, Qingyi's appearance looks stunning in a peach-colored fashion that looks elegant and charming. The simple makeup on her face actually made the girl look very young and graceful, also so dignified.

For a moment they became dazed because Liu Qingyi and Liu Erniang were actually both attracting attention. The two daughters of Liu Wang were both beautiful and charming in their respective portions.

The high ministers immediately lowered their heads and turned their eyes once they clashed with Baili Qingchen. The coldness seemed to pierce through their bodies as Baili Qingchen stared at them sharply, with a calm face yet containing so many threats.

Yinghao who had deliberately joined without disguising poked out from under the table, then attempted to climb onto Qingyi's lap. His behavior was seen by Empress Dowager Ming and he thought it was very funny.

Such a small panda has short legs and arms, when climbing, it gives a tickling sensation. Qingyi was upset, then sat Yinghao on his lap carelessly as she said, “Be quiet! Don't bother me!”

Yinghao protested. He deliberately jumped up and down to make Qingyi even more annoyed.

“Shut up or I'll throw you!”

“Basic Lord fierce! Come on, just throw it! If you do, I will run to the lap of Empress Dowager Ming!” yinghao.

Qingyi grieves. Sneaky Yinghao, the little panda descended from Qingyi's lap and ran across, to Empress Dowager Ming's lap. The people who saw the little creature were astonished, then could not help but laugh. Princess Consort Changle's pet is very unique and cute!

“Emperor arrive!” exclaim eunuch. Everyone stood up to welcome Emperor Baili.

“Sit,” Emperor Baili said after he sat in his chair.

Emperor Baili wears his golden robe. His head is decorated with crowns. It was only the first time that Qingyi saw the appearance of a lazy emperor in such formal attire. Usually when he sneaked into his study room, Emperor Baili at most only wore an ordinary robe of black or gray. His aura was more pronounced and grander.

Qingyi thought, the power of fashion turned out to really affect someone.

“Serve food!” yell eunuch again.

Then, the palace maid entered carrying a tray of food to each table. Qingyi gulped at the extremely appetizing dish, yet she was forced to endure it because she was arguably shameless. This is a banquet, and here is the palace, not the mansion of King Changle.

“Today, I fulfilled my promise to Prime Minister Liu. Come, toast,” said Emperor Baili, he raised his cup to everyone.

After they picked it up, they both drank at the same time. Qingyi secretly replaced the wine in her carafe with ordinary tea water. Drinking in the morning is damaging to health and can affect mood. After all, he did not like wine.

His tongue and throat were burning when he first tried it four years ago. At that time, he was celebrating his birthday with his friends at the cafe. As of now, Qingyi did not dare to drink it anymore.

“Princess Empress, what are you planning?” baili Qingchen asked quietly. She suspected her queen of planning something.

“What do you mean?”

“You're so calm today. Seeing the sister you hate entering the palace, your reaction should not be like this, right?” ask again.

“Since when did you understand my thoughts? You must remember, I have not forgiven you.”

Hearing his words, Baili Qingchen instantly fell silent. Haish, until when will his queen continue to be angry at him? Baili Qingchen had volunteered to be like a woman and was kicked out of bed.

He had also already compensated the treasure and Qingyi had received it even if only partially. Baili Qingchen really had a hard time understanding women like Qingyi.

“Just shut up and wait. I have a very good interesting show to watch,” as always Qingyi. Without waiting for anyone else, he ate a piece of cake.

“A-Chen, why?” xiao Junjie asked as he saw Baili Qingchen's face slightly bent.

“The Queen is planning something,” replied Baili Qingchen.

“A-Jie, help me keep an eye on her until I get back.”

Xiao Junjie nodded.

Inside the palace hall, Emperor Baili then ordered his eunuchs to follow King Changle secretly. Until now, he was still very wary even though he himself had already seen that Baili Qingchen did not want to fight over him at all.

As the emperor of a country, vigilance is important. Emperor Baili was still afraid that his uncle was planning something.

To hide his intentions, the atmosphere inside the hall was then made festive with dances and music. Qingyi clucked, she thought this was very boring.

Classical dances are not suitable for the type of woman who is like her. Gentle and dizzy movements that actually look like erotic movements that are deliberately created to tempt people.

His eyes accidentally met Consort Dowager Sun. It seemed, her in-laws already knew that the one who released Wang Yiyuan and sent her to her palace was her.

From now on, Consort Sun's Dowager face looked displeased, but she tried to hide it. Qingyi threw a glance in the other direction, she instead met a look with Xiao Junjie.

“Why do you keep looking at me?” ask Qingyi.

Xiao Junjie then replied, “Because A-Chen told me to keep an eye on you. You must be up to something, right?”

“You want to know? I do have a big show.”

“Do not screw up!”

“Then, what if you join them? I might be able to consider canceling my action.”

“Really?”

Of course not, stupid!

But, Qingyi was really bored at the moment. He confirmed Xiao Junjie's question. Xiao Junjie's brain slowed down as his head was filled with the name Baili Qingchen.

He lost the ability to logic and only thought about how to help Baili Qingchen. Xiao Junjie stood up, and begged Emperor Baili to allow him to perform a dance.

“Prince Empress is indeed talented. Then dance!” the Emperor Baili.

Xiao Junjie began dancing with the court dancers. His body movements are so flexible. She's like a professional dancer.

The invited guests and the concubines all admired Xiao Junjie's talent. Besides being good at poetry, he also has an extraordinary artistic talent. Even women are not necessarily as good as themselves.

“Defunct basic! Since when does he trust my words?” qingyi Mumbles.

Xiao Junjie is really stupid! But that was okay, it just so happened that he was very bored and Xiao Junjie happily consoled him. When the dance was over, Xiao Junjie returned to his seat. Emperor Baili and several ministers praised him, saying that the Little Prince was very good.

“Prince Empress is very talented. I have never been disappointed with the people from King Changle's mansion. Princess Empress, don't know if you can also present a dance for me?” ask Emperor Baili.

Damn it, the emperor set him up!

“I'm not as great as the Little Prince,” Qingyi said.

“Oh, really?” asked Emperor Baili, with eyes full of cunning.

Right now his uncle was out, if he humiliated him, then there would be no one to defend him! Emperor Baili's thinking was really cunning!

“Except if Your Majesty wants to see me dancing a sword dance. Aih, isn't that not good for this good wedding day?”

Emperor Baili put his hand under the table, clenching it with power. The hatred that was ingrained in his heart to Qingyi prompted him to harm the girl at any cost.

Emperor Baili wanted to kill Qingyi, eliminating him from this world forever. He wanted to avenge all forms of humiliation and threats he received from the girl.

But, who would have thought his intelligence increased many times in these few weeks. His tongue-licking ability is getting better. Qingyi was very good at reversing people's words and making the person speechless to the point of not picking at them.

Qingyi smiled slightly, the emperor's tricks were very cheap and Qingyi would naturally not fall in her trap.

“But, Your Majesty take it easy. This wedding gift from your aunt will soon arrive,” Qingyi said. After that, he drank his tea casually.

“Then, I look forward to your gift.”

After which, Emperor Baili ignored Qingyi. Liu Erniang sat in endless uneasiness. He also suspected his uncle was planning something.

Liu Erniang did not want his wedding day to be ruined because of Qingyi. But no matter how hard he thought, he was still unable to guess.

The only way to avoid disaster was to end this banquet as quickly as possible. Liu Erniang glanced at his father, giving the code that this event should be completed. The prime minister nodded in understanding, then he stood up and bowed to Emperor Baili.

“Your Majesty, today is a good day. My youngest daughter is very lucky to get a direct welcome from His Majesty,”, said the prime minister.

Emperor Baili changed his expression, becoming calmer.

“Because you have enjoyed the banquet, then I will announce the importance.”

Qingyi directly gave the code to Yinghao. The little panda leaped from the lap of Empress Dowager Ming and unknowingly had entered into dimensional space.

Emperor Baili prepared to continue his words, he looked at everyone and his majestic voice echoed in the hall of Xueyue Palace.

“As per my promise, I allow the Prime Minister's youngest daughter to enter the palace as my last form of service to the Prime Minister. Liu Erniang, go ahead.”

Liu Erniang excited. He advanced before the throne of Emperor Baili, then knelt down.

“Today-”

“Wait!” exclaim Qingyi.
