Chapter 6 The Pre-Ceremony Banquet

"You shouldn't be able to see it clearly from a distance," Mu Shuang comforted Nian Yao, "But you still don't know how this scar came about, Miss?" โ€

Nian Yao nodded, this scar has been on her hand since she has a memory, and she heard the old mother in the house say that she seemed to have something to do with this scar when she was a child, and the old mother had to tell herself the origin of this scar, who knew that it was stopped by the mother who came from the side. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Su Nianyao lay on the bed and looked at her arms, always feeling that her mother seemed to have something to hide and not tell herself, no matter how Nian Yao pestered her mother to ask her mother, she only said that it was because Nian Yao was playful and accidentally fell.

At this time, a maidservant knocked on the door, and Mu Shuang opened the door. I saw the maid holding a wooden end with all kinds of ornaments and a set of delicate silk dresses on it. Su Nianyao immediately stood up when she saw this dress, immediately took the dress from the maid's hand and unfolded it, and when she saw that the dress was extremely beautiful, she asked, "What a beautiful dress, what are you sending it for?" โ€

The maidservant replied, "Tomorrow is the heavenly style, according to the past practice, the palace will hold a grand palace banquet the day before, the palace banquet will start in half an hour, every county lord and prince who participates in the heavenly style will participate, and Empress Yan also invites Miss Su to go to the palace banquet in half an hour."

"But...."Nian Yao put down the clothes in her hand, "But I'm not from the palace, this ...... It's not quite conformable."

"I already knew that you would live in the North Palace, so a month ago, the emperor ordered us to make this suit for you, and now Miss Su should understand the meaning of the emperor and the queen."

"Miss, this costume is really beautiful, let's change it on" Mu Shuang looked at the various jewelry on the wooden end and dazzled her, such a beautiful costume must be very beautiful on the young lady, after taking the wooden end and letting the maid retreat, Mu Shuang persuaded Yao to put on the style dress, "Hurry up, it's not good to be late for a while"

Nian Yao thought to herself that this was the emperor's kindness, if she didn't receive the emperor's kindness, wouldn't she be lawless? What's more, this dress is so beautiful, how can there be any reason not to wear it, looking at the beautiful dress in front of her, Nian Yao let go of her worries, "Mu Shuang, change clothes!" "Okay Miss!"

The palace banquet is about to begin, and the concubines, princes and county lords in the palace are all sitting on the banquet from top to bottom according to their own identities, waiting for the emperor to sit down and officially start the palace banquet.

There is a very beautiful county lord sitting on the seat, called Anrong County Lord, is the most beautiful county lord in the North Palace, dignified and beautiful and moving, unlike other county lords, at the palace banquet, other county lords are whispering in groups of three or two, Anrong County Lord is always alone, her eyes reveal a trace of coldness and her gaze has been fixed on the prince sitting closest to the main throne - Second Highness Beigong Shengyun.

It was almost time, but there was an extra seat on the very edge, and everyone was talking about it, and they didn't know who would be sitting on that seat.

His Royal Highness beckoned to the people behind him to come over, and asked, "All the princes and county lords who should come are here, who is sitting on the empty seat?" โ€

"I don't know if I go back to Your Highness," the eunuch turned his head sideways, thought about it, and replied again, "But I heard that it was invited by the emperor and the queen, and it is really not easy to be invited by the emperor to the heaven-style banquet," the little eunuch put his hands in his inner sleeves and bent over and whispered in the ear of the second highness.

Guests invited by the emperor and queen? I heard Mu Xuan talk about this not long ago, there is indeed a girl who lives in the North Palace, looking at the surrounding princes and county lords who seem to be talking about this matter, they all blame themselves for helping the emperor with state affairs recently but not even knowing such a big thing...

While everyone was talking, there was a burst of bells not far away. Everyone looked back, a woman came from not far away, her fringed sideburns with a shawl and a crystal bead hairpin decorated with precious stones, a silver chain along the temples wearing two light blue neck-length steps, from head to bottom, wearing a delicate turquoise necklace around her neck, the woman was wearing a blue-white skirt woven of multiple layers of silk cloth, the skirt was sprinkled with a faint powder, and the skirt reached a few centimeters above the ankles. As you walk, you can faintly see the ribbons tied to your feet and a pair of red flat shoes embroidered with brocade clouds and flower petals.

The woman was Su Nianyao, led to her seat by a maidservant, and the sound of bells along the way attracted everyone's attention. The princes in the palace have never seen such a beautiful woman except for the county lord of Anrong, no, that woman should be more beautiful than the county lord of Anrong.

The corners of His Royal Highness's mouth rose upward, it turned out that the girl Mu Xuan said to himself that day was Su Nianyao, His Royal Highness looked at Nianyao and said silently, "I finally saw you..."

"Your Highness knows that woman?" The little eunuch behind His Royal Highness also straightened his eyes when he saw it, but His Royal Highness has been busy with state affairs, when did he know her?

His Royal Highness smiled and did not speak.

"She's different, she's so beautiful," Beigong Muxuan, the third highness sitting next to the second highness, sighed involuntarily. This exclamation made Beigong Shengyun pause, but soon he finally figured it out, this is the girl that Mu Xuan told him excitedly before, it turns out that he also knows her.....

While everyone was talking, a eunuch walked to the center and shouted, "The hour has come!" Your Majesty and Her Royal Highness the Queen are invited to take your seat! With that, the emperor and the queen walked out of behind the scenes.

Everyone stood up and sat down again after the emperor sat down, no one spoke, and the banquet was very quiet.

"Tomorrowโ€”" The Emperor picked up his glass and stood up, "It's the annual celestial ceremony, and today is your last night before you become adults!" Tonight, there is no gift from the emperor, as your father, I drink the first glass of wine tonight, I don't ask you how much you will achieve in the future, I just want to make good use of your own spells, so as to make a little contribution to the county! After speaking, the emperor raised his wine glass and drank it, "You don't have to be restrained tonight, you can be casual" After speaking, the emperor sat down.

Nian Yao looked around casually and kept moving her ass. Mu Shuang, who was standing behind Nian Yao, noticed this, bent down and asked Nian Yao why she kept moving.

"Feet... "Nian Yao whispered sideways in response to Mu Shuang. It just so happened that Nian Yao's words were heard by the county lord around him, the county lord of the widow was the youngest county lord, and he was not liked by several sisters, but now he was jealous of Nian Yao. Hearing Nian Yao's words, Yu Luo thought of a way to make Nian Yao ugly.

Thinking of this releature, he stood up from his seat and saluted the emperor, "Father, I have long heard that there is a distinguished guest in the palace, can you please introduce your father?" โ€

"The widow is right, my father almost forgot" The emperor looked at Nian Yao's position and beckoned to Nian Yao, "Nian Yao, come to the middle-"

The king's order cannot be violated, Nian Yao hesitated and finally tried to stand up, but just wanted to get up but fell down suddenly because of the numbness and weakness in his feet, and everyone whispered...

"Miss.." Mu Shuang hurriedly stepped forward to help, and with Mu Shuang's support, Nian Yao still endured the numbness and walked to the center.
