Chapter 326 Palace Banquet
The night was slightly cool, with a bright moon hanging in the sky and a few dazzling stars hiding in the dark clouds.
The night wind blows, bringing with it a chilly and desolate feeling.
The palace was brightly lit, the sound of stringed instruments was heard constantly, drums and music rang out in the hall, and there was singing and dancing.
Many people had already arrived at the banquet, and colleagues exchanged pleasantries with each other, seemingly having a good time.
"Hey, why is Master Wei here too?"
A proud voice sounded, and several young gentlemen came over.
The leading man was about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a light yellow brocade robe, with a handsome face and a hint of arrogance between his brows.
Opposite him were several young masters, among whom was General Wei's second son, Wei Lingxiu.
When Wei Lingxiu saw the person coming, her eyebrows frowned, and her pretty face showed undisguised disgust.
"If you can come, why can't I?"
"Also, you are dressed so seductively, be careful that the eldest princess will take a fancy to you and snatch you away as her husband."
Lin Zian's eyes widened and he angrily said, "Bah, you are the only one who is favored. A bean sprout like you would not be wanted even if you were given away for free."
"you!"
Wei Lingxiu was furious and wanted to punch someone with her fists, but was stopped by her good friend.
"Lingxiu, forget it. Today is a banquet hosted by His Majesty for the envoys. It would be bad if we make a big fuss."
Wei Lingxiu glared at Lin Zian, then snorted and put away her hand that was about to hit him.
"Forget it, I won't argue with you."
"Hey~"
Lin Zian thought he was just being cowardly, glanced at Wei Lingxiu with disdain, and turned away triumphantly.
"His Royal Highness Prince Rui has arrived!——"
"The Second Prince has arrived!——"
A servant's loud shout was heard outside the hall.
I saw two people walking into the hall at the same time.
A man was wearing a purple dragon robe, his black hair was tied with a golden crown, his face was as cold and beautiful as a crabapple, and his eyes were full of wisdom and shrewdness.
He walked like the wind, with a cold and aura that gave people a sense of oppression.
The person next to her was wearing a crescent-shaped white dress with elegant bamboo leaves embroidered on it with black silk, which made her bright face look even more elegant.
The black hair was tied up by a silver crown, the gentle and sharp eyes were shining, and the corners of the mouth were filled with a gentle smile, just like a spring breeze. When everyone saw the person coming, they stopped what they were doing and saluted.
"Your Highness Prince Rui, I pay my respects to you!"
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Second Prince!"
Ji Fengwu had a humble smile on her face and raised her hand to support him: "No need to be polite, my lords~"
Ji Huashang on the side frowned slightly, but said nothing.
Ji Fengwu exchanged a few words with several court officials, and saw Ji Huashang's lips curled slightly, then he walked over.
"The Third Princess looks healthy. I guess she has recovered from the wound she suffered the other day?"
Ji Huashang frowned slightly, her expression cold and she spoke politely.
"Thank you for your concern, Second Sister. My injury is no longer serious."
Ji Fengwu smiled and said, "That's good, but I heard that the Tibetan Rong delegation came here to form an alliance with Dong Zhou."
"And the Queen Mother is hosting a banquet tonight to entertain the envoys. I'm sure the marriage will be mentioned at the banquet later."
Ji Fengwu glanced at him and said with a smile, "I just don't know which brother the Queen Mother will let go to marry?"
Glancing at Ji Huashang's slightly changing expression, the curve of his mouth became even more upward.
Ji Huashang's breath was slightly cold, and she said in a deep voice: "Second sister, why do you have to ask when you already know the answer?"
"The Grand Master was very impressive in the Imperial Study a few days ago. I don't believe that you, my sister, have no news at all."
Ji Fengwu's eyes were slightly smiling as she said slowly, "Third sister, you are joking. The marriage is a matter of great importance, and the candidate for marriage is also appointed by our mother. How can I, your sister, know who the candidate for marriage is?"
"Third sister, please do not accuse me of usurping the throne, or I will die unjustly."
Ji Huashang's eyes were slightly cold as she stared at Ji Fengwu: "It's best if Second Sister doesn't interfere in this matter, otherwise I don't know what I will do."
Ji Fengwu's smile froze slightly, and she sneered, "Are you threatening me?"
There was a cold glint in Ji Huashang's eyes, but she did not respond. She just turned around and left indifferently.
But that departing look seemed to be a hidden warning.
The smile on Ji Fengwu's face faded, her hands clenched under her sleeves, and a gloomy look flashed across her eyes.
Ha~
It is still unknown who will win.
We'll see.
