Today's palace banquet.
The main streets in Kyoto are extremely busy and full of joy.
The streets were so busy that it was almost impossible to get through.
The entrance of a bookstore was no exception.
The bookstore owner said to Chunxiao who was helping Jiuer onto the carriage, "Chunxiao, please take good care of Miss Jiu, okay?" At the same time, he gave a look to the guards, asking them to protect Jiuer well.
The maid Chunxiao nodded carefully, "Boss, don't worry. I will take good care of Miss Jiu."
Before getting on the carriage, Jiuer looked back at the bookstore, but still didn't see the familiar figure.
When the carriage drove away from the bookstore, the shopkeeper sighed secretly.
Love is a matter that is truly hurtful and difficult to understand.
Because it was too crowded, it took more than an hour for Jiuer's carriage to arrive at the palace gate.
At this time, many carriages had already been parked in the open space in front of the palace gate. Everywhere were young masters and young ladies from various mansions, as well as the drivers and servants who brought them there.
Jiuer and her group were in the middle, and when they looked out, they saw only handsome young men and beautifully dressed young ladies.
There wasn't a single familiar face.
Just as Jiuer was looking at the people around her with interest, those people were also looking at her calmly.
The young men and women from powerful and noble families are all members of that circle, and many of them have met and know each other.
The sudden appearance of a strange face like Jiuer, based on her appearance and the recent events at the bookstore, made some people quickly connect her with the various rumors they had heard before.
There were also some young ladies who were jealous and contemptuous in their hearts.
The points of contempt are still the same.
For example, although she looks very delicate and pretty, this wild girl with no background can attend the palace banquet just because she is connected with Mr. Chu of Yidu Bookstore and Mr. Su of the Su Mansion...
How could she still have the nerve to laugh?
A girl became famous for this kind of thing and she has no shame at all!
What's even more shameless is that she also has a relationship with Qian Qian, the top girl in Jinzhaolou!
How could His Majesty allow such a...shameless and lowly creature to attend the palace banquet with them?
Someone wrung out his handkerchief, feeling uncomfortable all over, and his teeth were all broken.
They would never admit that they were jealous that the wild girl in front of them was prettier than the rumors said!
Jiuer ignored those looks and said to Chunxiao excitedly, "Chunxiao, let's go in quickly. It's a good opportunity to see what the palace looks like."
When the young ladies heard this, they could no longer hide their contempt.
Someone couldn't help but said sarcastically, "Oh, this sister doesn't know yet. No matter how interested you are in the palace, it's not like other places. You can't walk around randomly."
Jiuer turned her head to look at the yellow-dressed girl who was speaking, her eyes curved, "Sister, you know so much, are you serving the nobles in the palace? Then I want to ask you for your advice~"
They actually said she was a servant!
The girl in yellow was so angry that her eyebrows were raised, "You!"
Jiuer was not affected at all and took Chunxiao to verify their identities before entering the palace.
The companions around the girl in yellow wanted to laugh but held back.
At this time, several girls from the Zhang family who had previously clashed with Jiuer arrived.
"Sister Tian, why do you have to be angry with her?"
The eldest daughter of the Zhang family who happened to see this scene came over and said, "Sister Tian, who are you? And who is that little girl? You are not even worthy of carrying Sister Tian's shoes. It's not necessary."
Tian Qin, who was originally twisted with jealousy and whose heart was smaller than a needle, instantly felt much better after hearing these words.
Indeed, she is the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Works!
Who is that wild girl!
Thinking of this, Tian Qin smiled at the eldest daughter of the Zhang family in a friendly manner, "Sister Zhang is right. That girl is too ignorant of etiquette. I gave her some advice with good intentions, but she was so sarcastic that she didn't know what was good for her and irritated me. Forget it. I won't argue with her. Sister Zhang, let's go in quickly too."
The two of them looked friendly, and they went to the palace together to verify their identities.
Inside the palace at this moment.
The palace where the tenth princess lives.
The Tenth Princess stared at the scar on her arm that had not yet completely disappeared, and Kokoko laughed.
These scars were left from the last time at the Princess's residence...
The maid who came in felt a chill on her scalp and spoke in a low voice, "Princess, the girl Duan Ajiu that you asked me to pay attention to has just entered the palace."
"Hahaha, here it comes. Good that it's here."
Although the palace maid was a confidant, she was still trembling with fear when facing the Tenth Princess.
The Tenth Princess glanced at her and said, "What are you afraid of? Last time I asked you to kill Su Jingxing, you couldn't do it. I'm temporarily saving your life. What else do you have to be afraid of?"
The maid fell to her knees and said, "For the princess, I am not afraid of anything!"
The Tenth Princess sneered, "That's good to know. I'm giving you this chance because you've done your best for me over the years. If you still can't do it well this time, not only will your life be gone, but I won't let your family go either!"
The maid trembled and kowtowed, "I will do this for you, Princess, even if I have to risk my life!"
The Tenth Princess once again stared at the scar on her arm with a cold gaze.
This side of the Imperial Garden.
The palace banquet was held at the place where the emperor granted the marriage, so all the civil and military officials in the court were present because of its special nature and the procedure of granting marriage was finally held.
The seats were arranged according to the rank of the court officials. The seats of the young ladies and gentlemen of each mansion were behind their fathers and brothers.
For people like Jiuer who have no parents serving as officials in the court, the men are on the left and the women are on the right, and their positions are at the end of the court officials.
When Jiuer and Chunxiao followed the palace maid who led the way to their seats, they tilted their heads to look forward and could hardly see the end at a glance.
Amid the lively greetings, Chun Xiao lowered her voice and asked, "Miss Jiu, what are you looking at?"
"Look at Xiao Jin."
Chunxiao knew that Xiaojin was the second daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion and Jiuer's friend. She also went to see it, but their seats were too far back and close to the inside.
There was no place in sight for people of the prime minister’s status to sit.
Jiuer is not lonely or different. There are several ordinary girls around her.
However, these girls have much better reputations than her. They are all famous for their skills and were summoned by the Queen.
However, these girls were very reserved. They didn't dare to move or look around at all, and they didn't show any intention of talking to Jiuer.
Jiuer looked at the men's seats opposite again.
There were also a few young men sitting there.
There is no "Chu Qing". There is no Su Jingxing either.
Jiuer was feeling a little bored when she heard the voice of the Second Prince arriving.
Soon, a man who looked like a familiar nobleman came slowly over with his eunuch entourage.
The royal family members all looked good. Many girls secretly glanced at the second prince.
There are quite a few bold ones that are directly visible.
After all, at this annual palace banquet, there is almost no separation between men and women, and there is no need to worry about it.
They were all wondering who would be the second prince's wife this time.
Just watch and watch.
The second prince stopped in front of a young girl? ! ! !
"Girl, we are really destined to meet again."
Jiu'er looked up, her pretty face full of surprise, "Oh, it's my benefactor! My benefactor... you are actually the Second Prince!"
She looked surprised, but I felt like she wasn't that surprised.
"Haha, I don't deserve it. I just helped the girl find her purse." The second prince's smiling eyes were like a poisonous snake wrapped around his neck.
When he returned home last night, all the doctors in the mansion were helpless against the poison he had contracted. He was in agony the entire night!
Jiuer blinked and smiled innocently, "Second Prince, you are such a good person."
"Then I wonder if this good man would have the honor to invite you to walk with me in the Imperial Garden before the palace banquet."
"Ahem... sorry." Along with the cough, a sickly-looking 'Chu Qing' appeared not far away, "Miss Duan, please take care of me."
The second prince looked at Chu Qing and narrowed his eyes. "It turns out to be Boss Chu. Seeing is believing."
He had given him signals before, but this guy didn't respond at all.
So, has he decided to side with the boss? !
Chu Qing came over and smiled weakly, "Forgive me for being ill, so I won't be polite to the Second Prince."
He stretched out his hand and pulled Jiu'er up, lowered his head and said with a slight frown, "You were thinking about coming to the palace to play, but you ran so fast. Why didn't you wait for me?"
Jiuer's eyes lit up when she saw him and she pouted.
Chu Qing patted her head gently and said softly, "You're still not convinced. Come here and sit next to me."
He directly pulled Jiuer and took her to the men's seat opposite and placed her next to him.
This action made the people nearby look strange and stunned.
