Princess Tianwu was startled and looked at Ji Yunkai with wide eyes. She didn't know how to answer these words for a moment...
She didn't expect Ji Yunkai to be so thick-skinned. She actually said this without blushing and out of breath. Did she still want to be shameless?
When the ladies around them heard Ji Yunkai's answer, they all bit their lips and laughed sullenly, their shoulders shaking violently, which showed how painful it was for them to suppress their laughter.
At this moment, Feng Qi, who had always been graceful, noble and elegant, suddenly laughed: "Hahaha... Junior sister is indeed junior sister. No wonder Master always laughs from ear to ear every time he mentions you after he returns.
"
Feng Qi smiled, and the others didn't care whether it was rude or not. They all laughed too: "I just realized today that Princess Yanbei is so interesting. What Princess Yanbei said couldn't be more correct."
"Princess Yanbei is truly a wonderful person. Let alone here, there is only one Princess Yanbei in the world. So what if Princess Yanbei wears a mask?"
…
Because of the palace banquet, Ji Yunkai had a good relationship with the princesses of the clan, the county princesses, and the princesses. Seeing that the emperor had no intention of targeting Ji Yunkai, these people did not mind cheating Ji Yunkai.
Everyone said something to each other, and soon suppressed Princess Tianwu's voice. Princess Tianwu stood in front of Ji Yunkai, her face turned red and white, and she was indescribably wonderful.
However, just when everyone thought she would give up, she spoke again: "So, Princess Yanbei is unwilling to take off her mask?"
In order to suppress everyone's words, Princess Tianwu spoke urgently and sharply. The smile on Ji Yunkai's face instantly disappeared, he put down his wine glass, his eyes were cold: "Why should I take off the mask? Who are you?"
"You..." Princess Tianwu was unable to say a word as she pointed at Ji Yunkai, her eyes suddenly turning red with anger.
In all her life, she has never been humiliated in public.
In front of so many people, Ji Yunkai spoke so aggressively, how could she be asked to step down?
Ji Yunkai stood up calmly, brushed the pleats on his clothes slowly and politely, looked at Princess Tianwu, and calmly opened her hand: "Princess, I don't like being pointed at.
Yes, and...you are blocking my light."
"You, you, you..." Princess Tianwu was so angry that she couldn't say anything and could barely breathe.
"I'm fine. Don't worry, Princess. Your seat is ready, it's time for you to take your seat." As soon as Princess Tianwu came in, a little eunuch arranged a seat for Princess Tianwu on the right side.
"Ji Yunkai, did you know..." Princess Tianwu was about to use her status to pressure others, when the eunuch's sharp shouts rang out from outside the palace: "The emperor has arrived, the noble concubine has arrived."
The emperor has arrived. No matter how big the dispute is between Princess Tianwu and Ji Yunkai, it must stop at this time.
"Princess, I'm sorry..." Ji Yunkai raised his eyes and glanced at Princess Tianwu coldly, then took a step forward, stood in front of Princess Tianwu, and knelt down with everyone to welcome the emperor and Concubine Ji.
"Long live my emperor, long live him." As everyone in the palace knelt down to greet him, the emperor walked in with Ji Lan.
Ji Yunkai lowered his head, hearing the sounds of "Long Live, Thousand Lives" in his ears. She had no idea where the emperor had gone. It wasn't until a bright yellow dress appeared in front of her that Ji Yunkai realized that the emperor had stopped in front of her.
Of course, standing in front of her with the emperor was Ji Lan.
"Everyone, please stand down." The emperor did not let everyone kneel for a long time, even though he had not yet sat down on the dragon throne.
After everyone stood up, the emperor asked: "What's going on? Why doesn't Princess Tianwu take her seat?"
The Emperor naturally knew that Princess Tianwu must be looking for trouble with Ji Yun, but it would be foolish for the Emperor to not stop even when the trouble was found with him.
Princess Tianwu's expression was ugly, and she tried her best to put on a stiff smile: "I forgot my feelings for a moment when I was talking to Princess Yanbei. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"That's it. Princess, please take your seat quickly." The emperor knew that this was not the truth, but he did not want to ask more questions.
This was Tianqi's palace banquet, and he didn't want to cause trouble at the palace banquet.
Princess Tianwu forced a smile, turned around and walked towards her seat, giving Ji Yunkai a fierce look before leaving.
Ji Yunkai gave an innocent look and pretended not to have seen it.
"Princess Yanbei, please sit down too." The emperor shook his head and was too lazy to look at Ji Yunkai.
Sometimes he also hates Ji Yunkai's face that makes people angry even if they don't pay for their lives, but he has no choice but to show his anger on such occasions.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ji Yunkai returned to his seat and sat down gracefully.
Ji Lan stood beside the emperor, as proud as a peacock, always raising his chin and looking at Ji Yunkai provocatively, and this moment was no exception.
Ji Yunkai looked funny and shook his head...
She had never had any intention of arguing with Ji Lan. Ji Lan had always been biting her.
Sometimes she really couldn't understand what was the point of Ji Lan staring at her so hard?
What is there about her that makes Ji Lan envious and jealous...
The emperor took his seat, gave a speech as usual, and announced the start of the palace banquet. The emperor and his ministers enjoyed themselves, singing and dancing, and delicious food was served one by one.
Eunuchs and maids carrying exquisite food shuttled back and forth between the tables, all in an orderly manner, busy but not chaotic.
The food carefully cooked by the imperial chef was placed in front of everyone one by one, but no one moved their chopsticks.
It was the end of winter and the beginning of spring. Although it was warm enough inside the palace, it was freezing outside. The delicacies carefully prepared by the imperial chef were already cold when they were brought from the imperial dining room. Who would be willing to use chopsticks.
According to the usual practice, after toasting the emperor and drinking the wine toasted by the emperor, the courtiers began to watch the singing and dancing on the stage, looking relaxed and comfortable, no different from usual, but if you look closely, you will find that some of them are shallow.
The officials are still in trouble...
Of course, it's not their fault.
God knows how shocked they were when they entered the inner hall and saw the bright and dazzling flowers on both sides.
They obviously had someone manipulate them, and the flowers they sent to the palace would wither at night and there was no way to use them.
Normally, there should be no flowers at this year's palace banquet. Even if there were, they would be wilted dead flowers, but...
Who will tell them what is going on with these flowers in the temple?
Where did the emperor get so many fresh flowers overnight?
This is not the point. The point is when did the emperor know about their manipulation?
Why didn't they receive any news in advance?
The emperor discovered the tampering with flowers, so what about the fruits and melons served at tonight's banquet?
Does the emperor also know?
Do you already have a backup plan?
Are all their arrangements for today ruined?
God knows how uneasy and uneasy they feel under their calm appearance at this moment... (To be continued)
