The main color of Liu Ruyan's clothes today is still white.
Her white clothes were as white as snow, with beautiful green plum blossoms embroidered on her lapels. She wore two jade hairpins on her head, and she looked as pure and elegant as frost and snow.
Liu Ruyan glanced at King Heng calmly, knelt down to salute, and walked straight to the seats for women to sit down.
She is as quiet as a chrysanthemum and doesn't care about the outside world's evaluation.
The fight between Prince Yan and Prince Heng was really meaningless in Liu Ruyan's opinion. Life is but a hundred years long, and everyone will eventually turn into a handful of dust. What is the point of fighting for power?
The cold and aloof Liu Ruyan naturally never thought about how bad the entire palace would be in if Prince Yan failed in his power struggle.
The princess's face was not looking good. Liu Ruyan, for such a lively occasion as the Spring Banquet, she had to wear a white dress...
Prince Heng was still finding fault, waving his jade fan loudly, his eyes fell on the plump and fair Zhang Miaoyu.
Zhang Miaoyu was dressed brightly, but unfortunately she was too fat. From a distance she looked like a sugar ball wrapped in colorful oil paper.
Prince Heng joked, "Sister-in-law Zhang, there are many delicious dishes at the banquet today, please eat with an open appetite."
Zhang Miaoyu's eyebrows curved and her voice was sweet: "Okay! Thank you King Heng for reminding me."
Holding up the hem of her skirt, Zhang Miaoyu, with her chubby body like a dumpling, ran to the seat for women.
They looked like disaster victims who had been hungry for dozens of days and rushed straight to the disaster relief site.
The princess rubbed her brows.
This Zhang Miaoyu only knows how to eat every day, and her brain is full of fat! No IQ at all!
Prince Heng shifted his gaze and saw Concubine Liu Qiao'er, whose face was sallow. He was surprised and said, "Sister-in-law Liu, is there a famine in the palace? Oh, my second brother is indeed a wise prince. Even his own woman can't get enough food."
Liu Qiaoer lowered her head and left quickly.
Even when ridiculed in person, Liu Qiaoer did not dare to refute or defend herself.
Liu Qiaoer vaguely remembered that after King Yan ascended the throne in her previous life, King Heng directly raised the flag of rebellion in the local area. It took the King of Yan more than ten years to drive the dog-skin plaster-like King Heng out of the territory of Qing. King Heng occupied a small country outside the border, proclaimed himself king, and frequently harassed the border of Qing.
In short, King Heng is also a scary person who is not easy to mess with.
Liu Qiaoer didn't dare to offend King Heng. She had to keep a low profile and not be in the spotlight. Even if I have to eat simple meals every day, it's worth it as long as I can save my life.
When the princess heard Prince Heng complaining about Prince Yan's concubine, her temples began to throb again.
The imagined power struggle, the open and covert fighting, the bloody storm - complex and vicious, all living beings are ants.
In the real-life power struggle, I ridicule your woman to her face—simple and deadly, shameless but effective.
In order to save face, the princess tried to find an excuse: "There have been frequent battles on the Qing-Yue border, and the women in the palace have been living frugally, which can be considered as helping the soldiers on the border."
Prince Heng laughed loudly: "Second sister-in-law, don't make excuses. The soldiers at the border have enough food and clothing, and Yanjing is still prosperous. Tsk tsk, I think brother Prince Yan is stingy and can't even take care of his own woman."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Wei came in late, holding the hem of her skirt. Fangfeiyuan was too remote, and she was dressed in heavy clothes, so she walked very slowly.
Shen Wei bowed respectfully, her voice clear: "Hello, Princess. Hello, Prince Heng."
Prince Heng turned around casually and was almost blinded by the golden hairpin on Shen Wei's head.
Before dawn today, Shen Wei started to wash and dress.
Her black hair was combed into a beautiful flying bun, with two golden hairpins pinned on the ends of her hair. There is a pink peony pinned on the right. She had a red flower ornament between her eyebrows, small round pearls on her cheeks, and wore a green skirt with a pattern of butterflies, flowers and water.
Her figure is like a willow, bright and charming.
Although she was dressed up, the quality of her jewelry was inferior to that of the princess and did not overshadow her.
Prince Heng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little pain in his face.
He had just been mocking the poverty of Prince Yan's Mansion, but the next moment a gorgeous beauty came.
The princess felt very relieved.
Although she looked down upon Shen Wei, who came from a humble background, Shen Wei did save the face of the palace today.
After Shen Wei finished her greetings, she took Cai Lian's hand and walked to the women's seat, sitting at the very end.
Prince Heng felt uncomfortable all over. He waved his jade fan and deliberately criticized: "There are frequent wars on the Qing-Yue border, and the women in the palace are dressed so gorgeously. They don't know how to help the soldiers on the border."
The princess responded calmly: "The soldiers at the border have enough food and clothing, Yanjing is still prosperous, and my Yanwang Mansion is naturally not shabby either."
King Heng snorted coldly and walked to the men's seat on the left.
His dark eyes glanced at Shen Wei in the opposite corner, but he lost interest after just a few glances and continued drinking.
Chen Wei is very beautiful, but unfortunately her beauty lacks distinctive features. His gestures were too rigid, without any liveliness or agility.
Prince Heng and Prince Yan had been fighting for many years, so Prince Heng naturally knew Prince Yan's background. In recent years, Prince Yan has been extremely cold and indifferent to the women in the harem. This Shen Wei is in favor now, but there is no guarantee that she will fall out of favor in a few days.
...
At the women's table, Shen Wei secretly stuffed a candied fruit into her mouth. I was busy washing and dressing up this morning and haven't even had a bite of food yet.
She didn't dare eat too much when the Spring Banquet started, as she was destined to be hungry today.
Cai Lian served behind Shen Wei. She secretly stared at the King Heng opposite her. The more she looked, the more strange it felt: "Master, the material of the clothes King Heng is wearing is floating brocade... It looks so familiar."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wei also stole a glance at the clothes on Prince Heng.
The texture of this fabric...
Chen Wei was surprised, this seemed to be the half piece of Floating Light Brocade that she had secretly sold! Chen Wei was definitely not mistaken about the color and pattern.
Chen Wei covered her face with a round fan and asked in a low voice: "Cai Lian, when you sold that half piece of floating light brocade, was there anyone following you?"
Cai Lian said, "Master, rest assured. When I left the palace that day, I wore a veil to cover my face and changed my clothes into ordinary ones. After selling the floating brocade, I walked around the street several times before returning to the palace. No one would have noticed."
