During the band's welcome song, a beautiful figure gradually appeared in front of the long red carpet leading outside the door.
The gold chiffon translucent evening dress exudes dazzling light under the light. The golden royal dragon mark is all over the skirt. A pair of slender, white and sexy legs, paired with golden high heels, is slowly walking forward.
Under this traditional yet trendy royal formal women's evening dress, she is wrapped with a very attractive and graceful body, with loose black hair, and a bright and beautiful face, which looks extremely calm under the light.
,charming.
This is the eighth daughter of the current emperor, the most beautiful and charming Princess Xiaoyao in the legend. Her beauty blooms like a flower in an instant under the spotlight, eclipsing everyone around her.
Chu Nan couldn't help but frown a little as he looked at this beautiful princess, showing his disbelief.
Han Yuxi next to her seemed to have been paying attention to Chu Nan's expression, and she whispered, "What's wrong with you?
Showing this weird expression?"
"Nothing...just a ridiculous idea suddenly came to me.
I always feel like I have seen this Princess Xiaoyao somewhere."
When Chu Nan said this, he immediately shook his head with self-mockery and said, "Of course, it's just my imagination. She is a high-ranking princess. How could I have the chance to meet her? I must have recognized the wrong person."
Han Yuxi pursed her lips and snickered, then replied, "That's not necessarily true. When this Princess Xiaoyao heard that she didn't choose the right name, Xiaoyao Xiaoyao, she always couldn't calm down. She often ran around and was caught several times.
Returning to the Imperial City, isn't this... I heard that they are still being banned recently.
So it’s possible that you saw her outside!”
Chu Nan turned to look at Han Yuxi and didn't understand why she answered like this.
But when I think about it, I feel relieved. After all, the outside world has spread rumors that she had an affair with Princess Xiaoyao, so she is naturally very familiar with her.
"When you said that, I really remembered it. About half a year ago, it seems that Princess Xiaoyao secretly ran away to the southeastern province. When she was brought back to the capital, I even watched the news."
Chu Nan really remembered. When we were having dinner at Shan Tian's house last time, wasn't the scene on the news showing Princess Xiaoyao being brought back to the capital?
It seems that this Xiaoyao Princess is very different from the ordinary princesses who are waiting for marriage and stay at home.
"How about it?
Princess Xiaoyao is very beautiful, right?
Are you excited?"
Han Yuxi said with a smile, "This is a great beauty that you can't find in the entire Huaxia Kingdom, and she is also a princess of the royal family. Tsk tsk... If you can marry her as your wife, it will definitely be a great success for you, right?"
Chu Nan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Speaking of Yuxi, I didn't even dream and you started dreaming on my behalf.
This Princess Xiaoyao is indeed very beautiful, but what does it have to do with me?
I'm not a toad, I really want to eat swan meat.
Besides, I, Chu Nan, am not a spineless man. I don’t need wealth and glory, but I can’t do without my dignity as a man! How many consorts can live a good life without being angry?
If you want to really prosper, you have to rely on yourself, not on women to get to the top!"
Seeing Chu Nan's serious look, Han Yuxi nodded appreciatively and said, "That's quite right. I support your idea.
Men should stand on their own feet and rely on women to rise to the top. To put it harshly, it’s a shame!”
Having said this, she turned around and glanced at Chu Xin, who was staring at her in the distance. It was obvious that she meant something.
Princess Xiaoyao walked on the red carpet and dressed up to attend the banquet. She slowly walked to the seat next to the dragon chair and sat next to the Eagle King's prince.
The Prince of Yingguo was immediately impressed by the beauty of Princess Xiaoyao and could not take his eyes away from her.
Princess Xiaoyao just politely smiled charmingly at him, and then began to look around anxiously. Soon she saw Han Yuxi in the far corner through the crowd, and the person standing next to her... the person who had always been worried about her.
silhouette of a standing figure.
"He's a little thinner... He doesn't seem to look well. Is he sick?"
Princess Xiaoyao murmured to herself, a look of worry appeared on her pretty face, her nervous little hands tightened her skirt, and she was so distracted by her thoughts that she turned a deaf ear to the scorching gaze of the Prince of Eagle Kingdom next to her.
"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!! The Queen has arrived!!"
The ceremonial music of the royal band sounded again, and this time the scale was unprecedented, louder and more solemn than any previous music.
The current emperor of China, wearing a royal dragon robe, appeared in the main hall of the palace auditorium with the queen in a phoenix robe on his arm, which immediately aroused warm cheers and applause.
His Majesty the Emperor, who is now in his fifties, is an upright man in his prime. He looks powerful and domineering. Although his Chinese-shaped face cannot be said to be very handsome, it is more impressive than others. He really looks like someone else in the world.
On the other hand, the queen is a complete beauty.
Although she is quite old, she has clearly maintained her charm and still has a certain charm, and her eyebrows still bear a resemblance to Princess Xiaoyao. As expected, there are just as many daughters as there are mothers, and they are all beautiful women, so we have to stand together.
They are really like sisters.
Of course, the queen still has the demeanor of a mother who cares about the world, giving her a calm and majestic temperament, which Princess Xiaoyao does not have.
But then again, if Princess Xiaoyao is really so calm, then she can't be happy anymore, right?
The emperor and the queen sat on the spacious dragon chair together. Since the imperial power was restricted, the royal status naturally plummeted, and there was no need to abide by some ancient red tape.
The current emperor is just a symbol of China. Like many countries with a constitutional monarchy, he has no real power but a reputation. There is no need to have all the officials kneel down and all the people worship him like in ancient times.
Of course, understanding is still needed. As soon as the emperor sat on the throne, all the guests in the auditorium knelt down on one knee and shouted in unison, "Greetings to the emperor, long live the emperor! Long live the queen! To meet the queen, the queen is a thousand years old.
Thousands of years old!"
Except for the royal family of the Eagle Kingdom, no one, including Chu Nan, had to perform this etiquette.
After all, he is considered a Chinese, and there is nothing wrong with kneeling down on one knee.
"Everyone, please get up. There is no need to be polite."
The emperor raised his hand and said happily with a red face, "Today is a reception banquet for the royal family of the Eagle Kingdom. Everyone having a great time is the greatest support for the emperor."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The guests stood up one after another. Chu Nan glanced at the Emperor of China on the dragon throne and whispered to Han Yuxi, "I didn't expect that the current emperor would be so easy-going and approachable."
Han Yuxi said in a very low voice, "Today is different from the past. The royal family has only a symbolic meaning and has no power. Although it is noble, it is no longer the same.
To put it bluntly, the survival of the royal family in Huaxia Kingdom is similar to that of the famous families in the capital. They also need to curry favor with other families and be closely connected with them because of their own interests.
To put it bluntly, except for the reputation symbol of the emperor, the royal family, without this layer of clothing, is not much different from the top families in the capital."
"What?
?”
Chu Nan was a little stunned and said, "Can't you?
The royal family is a symbol of imperial power, so how can it be compared with ordinary families?"
"That being said, if you really want to talk about it, how many people in China in modern society are willing to sacrifice their lives for the royal family?
I don't admit that there must be some, but they are only a minority.
If the country really bans the royal family, do you think there will be any difficulties?
If it is really banned and ordinary people live their lives the same way, except for those die-hard followers of the royal family, who will be truly loyal?"
Han Yuxi whispered seriously, "So, today's royal family can be said to be dancing on a tightrope, and there is always the danger of falling down and being doomed.
In order to protect themselves, the royal family must secretly cultivate their own power and enhance their strength and power.
Of course, these are not on the table, but at least they can make the government afraid, so that they will not have the idea of outlawing the royal family.
Therefore, the royal family must cooperate with the big families in the capital and support each other.
To put it harshly, it’s just about everyone getting what they need. If the emperor still maintains his superior attitude, and if no one cares about him, what does he care about?"
