The distance from the General's Mansion to the Imperial Palace was not that short, and Wanyang was shaken by the carriage for about an hour before she reached the entrance of the Imperial Palace.
When you arrive at the palace gate, get off the carriage and let the eunuch in charge lead you on foot to the main hall where the banquet is held.
Everyone in the magnificent hall was talking quietly to each other. General Wan was taken to the other side to have a table. Lin Yi took Wan Yang and Wan Liuyue to the family side.
The moment Wanyang stepped into the hall, many men in the hall fell silent in unison.
Dressed in embroidered white clothes, Wanyang is as graceful as a fairy, captivating a country. Every step she takes is breathtakingly beautiful and captivating. Just as Lin Yi expected, she is as stunning as the others.
Comparing it to Wan Liuyue walking in front of her, the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion almost completely lost her color.
Wanyang followed her mother and took a seat. Everyone recovered from their trance, and the previous discussion in the hall resumed.
"This fourth young lady of the General's Mansion can truly be called 'unparalleled in beauty'."
"I heard that the eldest lady of the General's Mansion is already planning a date for her wedding, and the fourth lady is probably getting married soon."
"In a while, the General's Mansion will be in the limelight. The eldest daughter will marry the second prince, and the second daughter will marry the sixth prince..."
While everyone was discussing, a high-pitched voice caused them to collectively pause their discussion: "The emperor, the noble concubine, and the prince have arrived——"
Everyone in the hall stood up and knelt down to salute.
Wanyang regarded herself as a puppet on strings. She would kneel when others stood up, stand up and sit down when others stood up, and she would follow suit.
As soon as she sat down, she clearly felt a sharp gaze focused on her.
He looked up slightly.
Good guy!
If she hadn't been good at recognizing faces, she almost didn't recognize that the person sitting at the top of the throne was Jiang Xu, who was holding a sword to kill her that night.
It was a hot summer day in July, and he was actually wearing a thick white fox fur cloak. Moreover, his entire face was so thin that one could almost see the lines of his bones.
However, thanks to her exquisite facial features, Jiang Xu looks a bit morbidly beautiful.
Wanyang just glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and quickly withdrew her gaze. After all, a person with the prince's status is not something that a little servant girl can look directly at.
Later in the evening, after saying a few words, the envoys from other countries were announced to enter the palace...
Among the envoys, a woman who was dressed in extremely revealing clothes came forward and spoke with arrogance in her tone: "Your Majesty Lingjiang, I have long heard that the women of Lingjiang Kingdom are all very talented. I wonder if I can compete with Dai Lian?"
I'm coming!
The platform for the heroine to show off her talent is delivered to her door!
This is the Prime Minister of the DPRK. After the emperor's secret instructions, he stood up and asked: "I wonder what Princess Dai Lian wants to compete with?"
"I can play chess, calligraphy, painting, horseback riding, and archery. I just don't know..." Princess Dai Lian glanced at the family table: "Do these delicate ladies have this ability to compare with me?"
Dai Lian's words were very provocative, and Wanyang liked them very much!
Wan Liuyue will undoubtedly bear the brunt of this competition. She had prepared a bag of croton powder before coming to ensure that Wan Liuyue would be a tasty limelight.
When Wan Liuyue wasn't paying attention, Wanyang used her inner strength to hold the croton powder in her hand, dooming Wan Liuyue's teacup.
Jiang Xu was covering his mouth with a handkerchief and coughing, and happened to see this scene out of the corner of his eye.
However, he was always minding his own business, so he pretended not to notice, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.
The noble concubine sitting next to the emperor thought this was interesting, so she covered her mouth and smiled and said: "Your Majesty, since Princess Dai Lian so kindly invites our women to compete with her, then we should agree."
"What my beloved concubine said makes sense." The emperor looked at the women and said, "Whoever wants to compete with Princess Dai Lian can come forward and stand up. No matter whether you win or lose, I will be generously rewarded."
At this time, when Wan Liuyue heard about the reward, she took a sip of the tea with added spices, stood up and saluted the emperor, and said: "The emperor's servant is willing to compete with Princess Dai Lian in horseback riding and archery."
As soon as she finished speaking, there were several flattering words from General Wan's side.
The women of Lingjiang State are very good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but they are very rare in riding horses and archery.
The imperial concubine was very happy when she saw that she was the general's daughter, because she was the second prince's mother-in-law, and Wan Liuyue was about to become her daughter-in-law.
Therefore, as long as Wan Liuyue is in the limelight, it will only be good for her and her son, and there will be no harm.
There are people to compete, and the project has been decided.
To be a human being, one has to go to the horse racing field in the palace.
As soon as Wan Liuyue sat confidently on the horse, her stomach began to growl.
At this time everyone was paying attention to her.
Then, there was a sudden "p" sound, which made everyone stunned.
Then there was another p sound.
Let everyone identify the source of the sound.
Wan Liuyue's face suddenly turned red, but General Wan's face turned into a black one, sitting in the audience seat.
The emperor frowned, obviously dissatisfied.
The imperial concubine also did not expect that her future daughter-in-law could do such an indecent thing in public.
Everyone wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare because their shoulders were trembling.
Only Jiang Xu was staring at Wan Yang as if he hadn't noticed Wan Liuyue riding on the horse, and he was thoughtful and didn't know what he was thinking about.
Wan Yang was numbed by this gaze, so she told Lin Yi and left the seat on the pretext of going to the bathroom.
At the same time, Jiang Xu also casually found an excuse to feel unwell and left.
Wanyang always knew that Jiang Xu was following her.
She asked the system to point to uninhabited trails and led Jiang Xu to a remote place.
When he saw the shade under a big banyan tree, he stood still, turned around, faced the empty palace road, and shouted softly: "Your Highness, come out."
When Jiang Xu heard that he had been discovered, he walked out from a corner of the palace wall without any concealment.
At this time, the cloak was no longer on his body. He was wearing a snow-white straight-fronted robe and a wide belt with a moon-white auspicious cloud pattern on his waist. It was not difficult to see a natural melancholy between his eyebrows.
Although the whole person still looked quite light, he was obviously not as sick as when he was in the main hall just now.
When he walked over slowly with his hands behind his back, Wanyang stretched his right hand into his wide sleeve, took out the jade pendant that he had taken off from his body that night from the system space, and handed it to him: "Your Highness, please return it to its original state."
host."
Jiang Xu just glanced at the jade pendant in her hand, as if he was not interested, then looked directly at her and said, "I saw that you put medicine in your sister's tea."
After saying this, he stopped speaking.
Wanyang's head was filled with questions.
So? Are you going to threaten her with this?
There was no panic expression on Wanyang's face. Anyway, she knew that he was not as frail and sick as rumored.
She was waiting for Jiang Xu's next words, but he kept looking at him without making a sound.
All right!
She could only put down the jade pendant temporarily and asked first, "I wonder why His Royal Highness is following my daughter this time?"
"You deliberately lured me here."
Wanyang: "..." If you don't follow me, I'll make a fool of myself!
Jiang Xu ignored her accusing gaze, looked at the jade pendant in her hand again, and said solemnly: "This jade pendant symbolizes the identity of this palace, and it is also a token for the future crown princess."
Wanyang: "..." So?
System: [Host, the world’s villains are quite straightforward this time!]
"You're so blunt! I've never had any contact with her." Wanyang said in her heart to the system.
