The atmosphere of the dinner party was suddenly turned cold by Si Yan. Apart from opening their mouths in surprise, those people held the wine and did not dare to drink any more.
"Today, I will hold a special banquet to welcome King Mu. Let's all drink this cup together..."
King Chu smiled and stood up and raised his glass and said
Except for Siyan, everyone in the audience also stood up and drank the wine in one gulp.
Of course, Siyan's actions were seen by others. King Mu turned his face and reminded him in a low voice. Siyan pretended not to see it, but the ministers saw it and took it to heart without saying a word.
King Chu stared at him and sat down hard, holding back his breath.
Because Siyan didn’t give herself any face in front of so many people.
The Queen Mother angrily wanted to stand up and say something, but was suppressed by King Chu's eyes. It was not easy to ruin the atmosphere at this time.
The King of Chu summoned the chief eunuch and said a few words.
The head eunuch took a few steps towards the front desk and waved his hand slightly: "I'd like to invite the princess..."
With crisp music, a pale pink mist rose in the hall. Flower petals scattered all over the sky, carrying a faint fragrance. The dancers danced softly in the mist with their long sleeves.
"Why didn't you see the princess?" Siyan vaguely heard the old ministers discussing in the distance.
The music played for a long time, but the protagonist never appeared. This made everyone else stunned, wondering if something had happened.
The King of Chu was so anxious that his ears turned red and he yelled at the eunuch to find someone. The Queen Mother's face didn't look very good either, and the domineering look she had just now was gone.
All the eunuchs in the inner palace were going crazy. It was hard to save the princess's life if she could not be found. However, they searched the entire palace and could not find the princess. The eunuchs had no choice but to report to the King of Chu truthfully.
"Your Majesty, the servants searched all over the palace, but they couldn't find the princess..."
"What! Didn't find it?" King Chu slammed the table and said sternly
There was a dull bang, and the music suddenly stopped. The dancers below were also stunned, not knowing whether to continue dancing. The ministers also looked at each other, like ants on a hot pot, looking here and there.
The King of Chu picked up the wine glass, drank it down in one gulp, looked gloomy, and made great determination, saying: "I am unfortunate enough to have given birth to such a daughter. I announce in front of everyone that the unfilial daughter will never be born again."
From now on, I will no longer be a princess, and I will not be demoted to a commoner..."
