Chapter 114: The Star Festival Palace Banquet [III]

Because of today's special day, the two of them have been carefully dressed up. Princess Yaohua was dressed in a pink palace dress, with a spring face and a charming look, while Princess Qionghua eas wearing a lavender gauze dress, looking demure and dignified, with a dusty temperament. 

The jewelry they wear was luxurious but not ostentatious, showing the royal style of low-key luxury.

Compared with the two of them, Zhao Ling's dress could indeed be described as "shabby". Of course, she was also measured, and fortunately, she had not lost her manners.

Hearing Princess Yaohua's bad tone of mockery, Meng Yuan's expression changed obviously, and he was about to get angry on the spot, but was stopped by Zhao Ling's eyes.

She was just an unruly and willful little girl, why bother with her.

She bowed to the two of them and said in a flat tone: "I have seen Princess Yaohua, Princess Qionghua. The two princesses are naturally beautiful and unparalleled in style. I also ask the two princesses to forgive me."

When Princess Yaohua heard Zhao Ling's compliment, she took it to heart, and snorted coldly with her nostrils turned upwards, showing a bit of pride. For Zhao Ling's four-two trick, there was nothing she could do for a while.

"Miss Zhao is too modest. Miss Zhao is extremely brave and has solved many strange cases. Now she is famous in the capital, how can she be an ordinary woman?" Princess Qionghua said aloud.

This was the first time in Zhao Ling's memories that she had heard Princess Qionghua speak. Different from Princess Yaohua's arrogance, Princess Qionghua looked more pleasant, with a faint and friendly smile on her face, but the smile did not reach the depths of her eyes, and she looked like someone with a lot of scheming.

After Princess Qionghua said this, she turned to say hello to Meng Yuan. "I have seen King Xuan."

Meng Yuan grabbed Zhao Ling's hand, and snorted badly, obviously lingering anger. What bothers him most were these arrogant, self-willed and pretentious women. Whether they were princesses or not, he didn't even look at them.

Princess Qionghua didn't take it seriously, she still maintained a slight smile on her dignified face, showing elegance, and nodded to Feng Ze who was standing beside Zhao Ling. "General Wind."

"Fengze has seen the two princesses." Fengze didn't like to deal with these royal princesses either, but he had no choice but to politely return the courtesy.

However, Zhao Ling's sharp eyes caught Princess Qionghua's eyes when she looked at Feng Ze, and there was a strange light in her eyes, which was clearly a vague love.

She was moved inwardly. Could it be that this Princess Qionghua was interested in Fengze?

At this moment, Wei Fang came out from the inner hall to greet the guests. Seeing Yaohua, Qionghua, two princesses, Xuanwang, and General Wuwei were all there, and the beautiful woman who was being grabbed by Xuanwang must be the future Princess Xuan, the eldest lady of Zhao Jiang's mansion.

He hurried up to meet him, bowed his head and saluted, "The servant has seen Princess Yaohua, Princess Qionghua, Lord Xuan, General Wuwei, Miss Zhao. Please, come inside."

Inviting these honored gods into the inner hall, Wei Fang's heart was beating faster due to the sheer power of these people.

This Prince Xuan had rarely appeared in front of everyone since he suffered an accidental loss of his legs seven years ago, let alone attending such a large banquet. But why did he unexpectedly come to attend the banquet this year?

Alas, he really didn't know if this was his luck or his misfortune? For some reason, Wei Fang suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart.

After several of them entered the inner hall, a woman appeared in the dark in the corner outside the hall. She was looking at the direction where Zhao Ling disappeared with a pair of resentful eyes, shining with a vicious light.

The sky gradually turned dark, the lights in the Canopy Hall first came on, and the voices were full of people. When Emperor Ming and Empress Duanjing both took their seats, and everyone finished paying homage, this year's Qixi Palace banquet was officially announced by Emperor Ming amid singing and dancing.

Zhao Ling really had to obey the ancient traditions and ways. Knowing this, even lying on a reclining chair in Fengheyuan and counting the stars was much better than coming here to worship.

She couldn't help but look at Meng Yuan, who had returned to his arrogant look on the opposite side, and pouted. There was only Meng Yuan here who didn't have to kneel, worship or dance. There was no way for his crippled legs to perform any task here. So he just sat in the wheelchair and watched from the sidelines.

But this guy was now putting on a stinky face, probably angry for not being able to sit with her.

The seats at this banquet were not random, but they were arranged in detail according to your status, age, gender, and whether you were married or not.

It seemed that Eunuch Wei had really put a lot of thought into this banquet.

The row where Zhao Ling sat was naturally full of unmarried women. Sitting on her left was the daughter of Ning Hou, named Ning Hua, and sitting on her right was the daughter of the Minister of Rites, named Fu Yuechan, all of them were beautiful women with outstanding appearance.

Ning Hua was one year older than Zhao Ling, and she was twenty years old this year, while Fu Yuechan was two years younger than Zhao Ling, at seventeen years of age. Therefore, Ning Chan looked more dignified than Fu Yuechan, and her eyebrows were a little more upright.

In terms of personality, Fu Yuechan was obviously more lively.. Her big watery eyes looked at Zhao Ling up and down, and she made no secret of her curiosity about her.
