Chapter 564: Provocation at the Banquet
"Why are you alone?"
Not seeing the person she wanted to see, Ji Nanyue's finally-awakened joy was like being poured with a bucket of cold water, and her face instantly turned gloomy.
Ji Nanyue's reaction was surprising, especially Ji Yunxie, whose face darkened.
"Your Majesty has something important to deal with, so let me go ahead."
Hearing this, Ji Nanyan's unhappy mood eased a little: "It's good that you can come."
This unconcealed look is very tempting.
Everyone present was not a fool. They had heard that the eldest prince had a crush on Prince Beichen, but had never seen him in person.
Now listening to the eldest prince's words and attitude, it is obvious that the rumors are not groundless.
Ji Fengwu's eyes flickered slightly. Although she was surprised, she didn't pay much attention to it.
My uncle has always been a dissolute person, and my mother has always turned a blind eye to him, so it is not surprising that he would fall in love with Prince Beichen.
This is not her concern. No matter what, King Beichen cannot inherit the throne and cannot pose a threat to her.
Her target now is the prince of Western Shu. If she can win over the power of Western Shu, she will have a better chance of winning the battle for the throne.
Therefore, Ji Fengwu followed Xilingyu closely, with a determination to win revealed in her eyes.
Where is Xiling Yu?
At this moment he was staring at Ji Yunxie with jealousy.
The last time they met, he was deeply jealous of Ji Yunxie's beauty. Later, when he learned that the other party was favored, he was even more furious and wished to replace her.
When he saw Ji Yunxie again, Xilingyu was filled with jealousy and irritation. He glared at Ji Yunxie fiercely and swore secretly.
He just didn't believe that King Beichen would always dote on him!
Just wait, he will snatch King Beichen away sooner or later!
Only he is worthy of being King Beichen.
—
"After not seeing him for a while, the poor crippled kid has transformed into the Prince of Beichen. How enviable."
Ji Nanyue glanced at Ji Yunxie, a dark light flashed across her eyes, and her chuckle contained a hint of envy.
Ji Yunxie paused, raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Ji Nanyue, with a meaningful smile on his face.
"It is thanks to the Imperial Grandmother's marriage arrangement that I was able to meet such a good person like the Prince."
"Really?" Ji Nanyue's smile froze slightly, and she felt angry in her heart.
After we were seated, the banquet began and the familiar old routine followed.
Before Ji Nanyue could say anything, someone spoke up to embarrass Ji Yunxie.
"I heard that Wang Jun is deeply loved by King Beichen. I believe he is very talented. Would you mind letting me see him?"
The person who was speaking was a young man in a blue shirt, the second son of the Minister of Rites. He was quite talented in writing and was best at painting.
Once someone takes the lead, others will naturally follow.
"Yes, since you are favored by King Beichen, you must have some extraordinary abilities, right?"
"Why don't you let us see it too?"
A scornful voice came from among the young masters: "Tsk, what ability does he have? What talent can a fool like him have?"
The speaker was Ji Ru, the second daughter of Prince Zhan, whose biological father was Prince Zhan's good servant.
In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, women had a higher status than men, and the status of giving birth to a boy or a girl was very different.
Although Ji Ru cannot compare to her eldest sister Ji Yan, she is not bad either.
I heard that Ji Yan was found not long ago, still in that kind of place. Her ugly behavior spread throughout the capital, bringing shame to Prince Zhan's Mansion.
Bai Wushuang has been deposed, and no one supports Ji Yan anymore.
Now that there is no other female heir in the palace, Ji Ru's status has risen and she has become the most valued daughter of King Zhan.
The harsh treatment of Ji Yunxie by the people in the mansion caused Ji Ru to look down on this elder brother.
Even though Ji Yunxie had become the King of Beichen, he still looked down on him and was even a little jealous and dissatisfied.
Who would feel comfortable when the trash that you once despised suddenly becomes someone with a higher status than you?
Ji Ru's attitude made others even happier.
Ji Ru is the second daughter of Prince Zhan's Mansion. What she said about Prince Beichen being illiterate must be true.
Now let’s see how he makes a fool of himself!
