His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had instructed the Crown Princess several times to eat first after she woke up.
"What palace banquet?" Yan Yuning suddenly became alert.
Xiaoyue explained, "It's a family dinner. His Royal Highness said there will only be a few people, including the high-ranking queen and a few princesses. If you keep your head down and eat, it will be against the rules."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has instructed that if the Crown Princess makes excuses for not eating, then he should tell her that she cannot eat too much at dinner, and she will eat obediently.
Xiao Wan picked up Yan Yuning's embroidered shoes, lifted the quilt, held the girl's ankles, put the shoes on her, and muttered, "Lunch has been prepared in the Qishan Palace, Crown Princess, please come."
Yan Yuning stood up, her knees couldn't help but bend slightly, her legs felt a little weak. Xiao Wan put down the comb in her hand, supported Yan Yuning and joked, "Crown Princess, no wonder His Highness asked you to drink the tonic."
The Crown Princess was not like their Highnesses. She was very easy to get along with, so she was bolder and teased her.
Yan Yuning brushed her hand away, stood up, and said slowly, "I haven't eaten since last night until noon today. It's normal for my legs to be weak. If you don't believe me, you can try it."
"Oh~" Xiao Wan blinked and said with a suppressed smile, "Crown Princess, I didn't say it had anything to do with His Highness. You don't have to ask me to explain it."
Yan Yuning: “…”
What kind of maid is Xuan Yanyu looking for? !
This was the first time she missed Qiuci so much, she wanted Xuan Yanyu to bring Qiuci to Xuanzhao! !
…
Less than a quarter of an hour after finishing her meal, someone from the palace came to pick her up. After changing into gorgeous clothes and getting ready, Yan Yuning got on a carriage and entered the Xuanwang Palace.
Inside the luxurious palace, on the rosewood table covered with brocade, were laid out various styles of fresh food and pastries.
On the throne engraved with dragon patterns, King Xuan, who was wearing a dragon robe, sat in the main seat, with Xuan Yanyu and Queen Xuan sitting on his left and right respectively. There was another seat next to Xuan Yanyu, which looked like it had just been occupied.
"Greetings to the Emperor, the Empress, and all the concubines." Yan Yuning bowed and saluted.
"Get up." King Xuan spoke before Xuan Yanyu.
He was afraid that if he spoke a little too late, his disappointing son would ask the girl from the Yan family to stand up in front of his many concubines, just like he did last time, bypassing him. He also wanted to save face.
After all, he could do it even if it was against the rules by adding space on his side, and it was not something he had never done before to let the girl from the Yan family stand up by leaning over him, so he could do it even more.
The man slowly walked down the steps and stood beside Yan Yuning. He glanced at the concubines around him and said, "Today is the first time I meet you. According to the rules, the gift of meeting you must be present."
Prince Xuan was so angry that he was speechless. Is this something he should say to his concubines?
Why did you ask for it directly?
"It's been prepared a long time ago." Concubine Lang stood up with a smile and handed the pure gold incense burner in her hand to Yan Yuning, "Yingning, I hope you and the prince will be as virtuous as the fragrance of the fragrance, and live in harmony with each other."
"Thank you, Concubine Li." Yan Yuning took it with a smile.
"Ningning." Concubine Tong took the phoenix hairpin from the maid with a smile and pinned it in Yan Yuning's hair. "I hope you and the prince can live in harmony and everything will go well."
"Thank you, Concubine Li." Yan Yuning touched the phoenix hairpin and smiled sweetly.
After the ladies had presented their gifts and said their blessings, Yan Yuning's face became stiff from smiling.
"The banquet begins." As Xuan Yanyu and Yan Yuning took their seats, Eunuch Feng beside King Xuan called out.
Eight dancers flashed out from behind the screen, wearing dark clothes, with their long hair loosely draped behind them, and a circle of silver chains hanging from their slender waists. As they spun, the silver chains spread out in the air.
In the hall, the candlelight was dim and the dancing was extremely beautiful. People were stunned for a moment and could not look away.
"Your Highness, would you like to take a look?" Yan Yuning glanced at the man beside her.
