The two then descended the steps.

However, before the two even reached the banquet area, some of the noble ladies there began to look at them.

"Huh? Who are those two? I don't think I've ever seen them before!"

Some of them looked at Ye Qingcheng and the other person and asked in confusion.

Her questioning voice drew the attention of those around her, who all turned to look at Ye Qingcheng and her companion.

"Huh? That's right! Who are they? I've never seen them before."

"Could it be a distinguished guest of the Princess?"

"It shouldn't be. The princess is of noble status; who would dare to claim to be her honored guest?"

"Yes! That's right."

"If not, then who are they? I've never seen them in the capital before!"

Their discussion instantly drew everyone's attention to them.

"Hmm? That looks like Princess Wenning."

"Princess Wen Ning? Is that Wen Ningxue, the daughter of the Wen family army who was bestowed the title of Princess of the South by the Emperor?"

"That's right, it's her."

"Oh! So it's her! No wonder she has such a bold and unrestrained temperament. But she's Princess Wen Ning. And who's the one next to her wearing a veil?"

"I don't know about that one, but she might be a friend of Princess Wenning!"

"Hmm! That's possible, but she came to the Princess's banquet wearing a veil. That's incredibly audacious!"

"Yes! Yes! The princess hasn't come out yet. If she sees this, this woman will probably be punished!"

"That's right, no, we have to remind her when she gets here."

"Go away, and don't meddle in other people's business."

"How could I be meddling? What's wrong with helping someone who doesn't know the rules?"

"Hmph, the person who came with Princess Wenning and walked side by side with her must be of a high status. You might end up offending someone instead of doing good."

Well?
