"It's getting late, let's go." Baili Yanqing subconsciously stretched out his hand, and Su Chenyu placed her hand in his palm. The two walked to the door hand in hand and found that Baili Qi was already waiting for them.
Baili Qi was dressed very gorgeously all day long. She always liked luxury, and the Yao family could afford it. But luxury was not the same as elegance. This golden dress made Aunt Xu very embarrassed.
"Miss, do you want to change your clothes?" After all, she was a member of the Baili family, so Nanny Xu reminded her anyway.
Baili Qi thought that Aunt Xu was worried that she was blocking Su Chenyu's beauty, so she replied, "I prepared this dress specially for the palace banquet."
Since she said so, Madam Xu naturally wouldn't waste her thoughts any more: "Then get in the car, young lady."
Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing had already gotten on the carriage. She also walked towards the carriage, but was immediately stopped by Aunt Xu: "Miss, your carriage is behind."
Of course, there was another carriage behind, but it looked small and was not as comfortable as the one Su Chenyu was riding in.
Baili Qi was somewhat reluctant, but Aunt Xu would not let her waste time like this: "If you don't want to go, go back now, so as not to miss the time to enter the palace."
Baili Qi then got on the carriage, but he felt more humiliated.
How could Aunt Xu not know what she was thinking? She felt a little contemptuous in her heart. If she wasn't a princess, how could she be qualified to attend the palace banquet? It would be fine if she was not grateful, but she even complained that the carriage was too small!
The carriage went all the way to the palace gate without any obstruction. Several people got off the carriage and walked inside under the guidance of the palace servants.
It was Baili Qi's first time entering the palace, and everything he saw was new to him. He kept looking around along the way.
When they arrived at the Ganzheng Hall, the palace banquet was about to begin. Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing naturally sat in the seats prepared for them, while Baili Qi stood beside them somewhat awkwardly.
The palace maids didn't know how to arrange it, so Aunt Xu said, "This is the daughter of Baili's first room. She will come to the palace to see her every day. You can put a table behind her so that it doesn't attract attention."
At this moment, because of Baili Qi's dress and behavior, many people had noticed her. They also heard what Aunt Xu said, and they all laughed in their hearts, thinking that this young lady from Baili's family was really not worthy of being in a noble house.
When Baili Qi saw that her seat was at the very back, she couldn't help but burst out. She ignored the palace maids' attempts to stop her and went straight to Su Chenyu: "Princess, why is my seat so far back?"
Su Chenyu asked back, "Then where should your seat be? Do you want to sit in the empty seat above?"
Isn’t the position above the seat of Emperor Jing of Wei?
Baili Qi was afraid that she would be misunderstood by others: "Princess, if you don't want to bring me here, just say so. Why bring me here and then ignore me?"
After hearing Baili Qi's words, everyone felt that she was a bit pitiful. Given Su Chenyu's temper, they were afraid that the Baili family must have suffered a lot of grievances.
Su Chenyu glanced at the people in the hall and chuckled, "Baili Qi, you came to me on your own and asked me to bring you here to see the world for Yan Qing's sake.
I brought you here, but you are not satisfied with your seat. But look at yourself, everyone here is a royal relative or a minister of the court. Excuse me, whose seat do you want to sit in, and who is willing to give up their seat to you?"
The seats at the banquet were all very particular, the further back one sat the lower one's status was. Who would be willing to give up their front seat to Baili Qi?
"The table is so wide anyway, wouldn't it be nice to have a chair next to you?"
When this was said, many people felt a little strange. How could Baili Qi be so stupid? He must have been used to being a tyrant at home, so he could be so "frank" now.
"Your Highness, there is an empty space over there. Put a table and chair there." Su Jinwei suddenly stood up to help Baili Qi out.
Hearing this, Su Chenyu smiled meaningfully. The prey had finally taken the bait...
