Chapter 221 Princess Donglingfeng

Li nodded, her expression also showing the same restraint and nervousness that could not be concealed, "The banquet in the palace is of course more grand than the banquet at the home of a powerful person. Besides, this is to entertain envoys from other countries, it is considered a state banquet."

"Can anyone attend a palace banquet of this size?" Nan Jiao felt strange and secretly glanced at the female relatives of the royal family around them. Most of them were princesses, princesses, and princesses. Not even the usual noble ladies came. A few, "It seems that everyone here tonight is from the royal family..."

"Shh." Ms. Li raised her hand to her lips, signaling her to stop talking. "Don't act like you've never seen the world. Be calm. Didn't you see that the eldest princess, the princess and the princess were all sitting quietly? ?”

Nan Jiao felt even more strange because she saw it.

In the past, when attending banquets at the homes of powerful ministers, many princesses and wives gathered together and chatted happily, but tonight there was something a little unusual.

The female nobles at the center of the royal family seemed to be preoccupied. Even the awkward mother and daughter Li and Nan Jiao did not receive much attention when they appeared strangely on such an occasion.

Nan Jiao originally had a low self-esteem, fearing that what she was wearing today would look shabby among noble ladies, but looking around, no one seemed to notice what she was wearing.

Of course she didn't know that something happened in this place not long ago that still makes everyone still fear...

"The Prince Regent has arrived——"

"The Princess Dongling has arrived! The Princess Regent has arrived——"

Nan Jiao's heart skipped a beat, Nan Xi is here too?

Who is the eldest princess of Dongling?

Not only did she have this question in her mind, but everyone present turned their heads and looked around after hearing the loud shout.

Countless pairs of eyes at the banquet looked in the same direction at the same time, and then their pupils shrank.

The regent, who is dressed in a noble royal robe, is tall and tall, exuding a noble and cold domineering attitude. Behind him is his personal bodyguard Qing Yang.

The woman beside him is Nan Xi.

If the shoulders are cut into shape, if the waist is bare, the eyebrows are as white as the distant mountains, and the skin is whiter than snow.

Under the illumination of the palace lantern, the woman's bright and moving face becomes more refined and refined, stunning, and her brows and eyes exude a happy and gentle sheen.

Tonight, Nan Xi was wearing a luxurious purple floor-length palace dress, with a two-finger-wide dark purple belt tied around her waist, which outlined her slender waist. The layers of light flowed lightly, making her demeanor calm and noble, as if all the glory and glory were gathered on her body, making her dazzling and radiant.

Nan Jiao's pupils shrank suddenly and she clenched her hands tightly. She was filled with envy and jealousy, but also with deep hatred and unwillingness.

Why?

She is also her father's daughter, so why is Nan Xi so lucky? Not only does she have endless money, but she can also become a high-ranking regent princess and enjoy everyone's envious and respectful gaze. However, she and her mother can't even buy clothes. Pay money?

There was silence in the huge palace banquet.

The courtiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty hurriedly averted their eyes and hurriedly saluted the regent, "I will see you, the regent. The regent is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"

"I see you, the Princess Regent. Wish you happiness, Princess!"

The sound of everyone paying homage resounded through the imperial garden, with an aura that shook the sky, leaving the envoys of the Three Kingdoms in awe and silence for a moment.

The Zhou Dynasty courtiers who lowered their heads did not see who was walking beside the Princess Regent, but the envoys from various countries could see it clearly - even though they did not know him.

"No gift."

Rong Yu's voice was indifferent, and he focused on helping Nan Xi step onto the wooden ladder and walk up to the imperial platform step by step, while Xuanyuan Xi was carefully supported by Yinyue, as if treating Lafayette with utmost respect.

Su Chang's eyes darkened slightly, and she stared at the woman who was cared for like a treasure by Rong Yu without saying a word. She was eighteen years old, which was the best time for a woman. She had a peerless appearance that could captivate the world and was so beautiful. Holding your breath, the temperament between your eyebrows and eyes is as picturesque as smoke. When facing the one you love, you are gentle and smiling, but when facing outsiders, you are noble, distant, and unattainable.

Su Shang closed her eyes and thought deeply. They said that the Princess Regent was born in a merchant family and was extremely vulgar. Are those who say this blind?

How could this woman show the vulgarity of a business woman? She was clearly more noble than a serious princess, and her natural bearing directly overwhelmed all the powerful women present.

The courtiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty thanked them and stood up slowly.

The next moment, someone at the table suddenly said in surprise: "Mrs. Nan?!"

The extreme surprise and shock in this voice directly raised the tone several degrees, so that everyone looked up in unison the moment they heard the voice.

Then they saw that extremely familiar woman - Mrs. Yuan, a merchant girl who was once looked down upon by all the noble ladies in the imperial capital, but who was domineering and decided to divorce her husband and leave the capital a few months ago.

She is actually standing with Nan Xi now?

When did she return to the imperial capital?

Mrs. Li stared at Mrs. Yuan in disbelief, making sure that she was right. She was indeed the one who divorced her husband in public at the Nanxing Zhi birthday banquet, causing the prime minister and her, an ordinary wife, to be completely humiliated in front of the emperor and all the officials. The shameless Yuanshi!

At this time, Yuanshi was wearing a dark red brocade dress, which made her tall and graceful. Standing next to Nan Xi, who was also dressed in a rich dress, her appearance and demeanor were not inferior at all, but more so. A bit of competence and maturity endowed by years make people feel ashamed for no reason.

Mrs. Li gritted her teeth, how could she come back?

Since she left, why did she come back?

Was she going to take back the position of the mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion, or come back to enjoy the glory brought to her by Nan Xi?

At this time, Nan Xingzhi's eyes were also locked on the woman on the imperial stage who made him hate, angry and furious. It was she who paved the way for his prime minister's career, and it was her departure that caused the decline of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Facing her at this time, he couldn't even tell what his feelings were towards her, but he just reacted as if he had suddenly realized the reason why the regent asked him to bring Li and Nan Jiao into the palace.

So... it was because Yuan Shi came back?

The royal family members and nobles also looked at Yuan Shi in silence, with stiff and sluggish expressions, wondering what the banquet tonight meant, to entertain foreign envoys?

But why did Yuan Shi appear here?

There was a dead silence at the palace banquet until a burst of footsteps came and broke the suppressed silence under the imperial stage.

A slender girl in military uniform led a neat elite guard and walked slowly, walked through the red carpet, walked to the bottom of the imperial platform, knelt on one knee, and saluted respectfully: "General Chu Hongyi of Dongling State Guarding the Country leads the golden armor guards to see the eldest princess, to see Princess Feng!"
