"The princess has arrived!" The eunuch's shrill voice rang out in the hall. As the eunuch's voice faded, a little girl in a blue silk dress appeared.
Surrounded by a group of palace maids, she entered the main hall. The young girl was beautiful and exuded nobility. She held her head slightly high and had an imposing presence.
This is Qianxue, the only little princess of Qianchen Kingdom.
"Greetings, Your Highness." The people in the hall rose and bowed to Qianxue, while Bei Yan bowed in return.
Since Qianxue's words of "dismissal" were not heard for a long time, the people in the hall had no choice but to remain in their bowing posture. Bei Yan lowered her head, her little face wrinkled, and she groaned inwardly, "Oh, my poor little body!"
A pair of embroidered shoes appeared before Bei Yan. Seeing the hem of that blue silk skirt, Bei Yan felt ashamed. Here we go again.
For some reason, this little princess has always been at odds with her. She doesn't think she has ever offended the little princess, but whenever the little princess sees her, she always comes to cause trouble. And here she is again.
"Bei Yan." The little girl's voice carried its usual domineering air.
"Your subject is here." With the mindset of an old aunt looking at a little kid, Bei Yan spoke gently, silently praying for forgiveness.
"Where is your phoenix divine beast? Why don't you show it to everyone? Or is your phoenix divine beast just a name without substance?"
Qian Xue's bright and cheerful face was filled with an undisguised provocation. Bei Yan had stolen her thunder at the Beast Summoning Conference, and she had been holding back her anger for a long time!
When his younger sister was bullied, Bei Yifeng's usually cheerful and handsome face darkened instantly. Before Bei Yifeng could speak, a gentle male voice rang out from the entrance of the main hall.
"Royal sister, please refrain from rudeness." A figure dressed in a white embroidered robe appeared before everyone's eyes.
"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
The Crown Prince of Qianchen Kingdom: Qian Ze.
"Please don't stand on ceremony, everyone. Since this is a banquet, the most important thing is to enjoy yourself. Please rise."
Qian Ze held a fan in his hand, his face beaming with a smile as warm as the winter sun, exuding a gentle and refined air.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
The Crown Prince was always gentle and kind in his dealings with others, and everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief and got up to take their seats.
"Eldest brother! You're protecting Bei Yan again!" Qian Xue stamped her foot, her bright face showing undisguised anger.
Qian Ze sighed and gently tapped Qian Xuedi's forehead with the fan in his hand.
"Your Highness, Father and Mother will be here soon. If they see you, you'll likely be scolded again."
Upon hearing the words "Father Emperor," Qianxue's anger subsided considerably. She glared at Bei Yan resentfully before turning and walking back to her seat.
"Sister Yan'er, I apologize on behalf of my younger sister for her rudeness just now. I hope you won't be angry with her."
Qianze's gaze fell on Bei Yan, and he spoke softly.
Bei Yan wrinkled her little nose, and a sweet, harmless smile bloomed on her rosy little face.
"Don't worry, Crown Prince, Yan'er isn't angry." The little brat was jumping around; what could a woman who had lived two lives possibly be angry about?
Qian Ze smiled warmly, patted Bei Yan's little head, and his gaze fell on the silver mark between Bei Yan's eyebrows, his dark eyes flashing with a few glints.
It happened very quickly. He greeted Bei Yifeng, who was standing next to Bei Yan, and then returned to his seat.
"Little sister, do you want your big brother to avenge you?" Bei Yifeng pinched Bei Yan's little face.
If it weren't for his father's repeated instructions to keep a low profile, he would have definitely shown the little princess no mercy just now.
