After getting dressed up, she almost didn't recognize herself.

She turned her head and looked at Chunxi, "Chunxi..."

Before she finished speaking, Chunxi guessed what she wanted to say, "My lady, today's banquet is the most important thing. If you make her angry..."

Shen Chuwei also guessed what Chunxi was going to say, "If you anger His Highness, you won't be able to eat at the banquet. I understand!"

Chunxi chuckled twice, "I'm glad you understand. Let's go out."

Shen Chuwei looked in the mirror and saw her neck almost bent by the headdress, but she endured it for the sake of the banquet.

She walked out from the inner room with the help of Chunxi.

Xiao Jinyan had been waiting outside. When he saw Shen Chuwei dressed up, he was stunned. It's not that he had never seen Shen Chuwei dressed up before, but this time, he found that it was a little different from the past.

The skirt of the formal dress was very long, and Shen Chuwei didn't dare to walk too fast, for fear of stepping on the hem and falling flat on her face.

Suddenly, there was a spotless hand in front of me. I could clearly see the lines on the palm. The hand was beautiful, and even the lines were beautiful.

She raised her head and looked at Xiao Jinyan, only to see him turning his head and staring at her intently.

Shen Chuwei put her hand in his palm. With someone holding her hand, she walked more steadily.

Chunxi followed behind and looked at the two holding hands with a motherly smile.

When receiving envoys from other countries, etiquette is taken very seriously.

Shen Chuwei was not well versed in ancient etiquette, so she held Xiao Jinyan's hand and walked when he walked and sat when he sat. It was right to follow him.

Just as she was walking forward, Xiao Jinyan stopped her, "Stand still."

"Oh." Shen Chuwei stood obediently until Xiao Jinyan came back and took her to the table.

The palace maids brought delicious dishes and aged wines to the table one after another.

Shen Chuwei's eyes were always on the food in front of her, just waiting for the emperor to speak so that she could start eating.

At this time, the shrill voice of Eunuch Li came from outside the door, "Princess Xueyan of Xueyue Kingdom greets His Majesty."

When Shen Chuwei heard Princess Xueyan, she raised her head curiously and looked towards the entrance of the hall, only to see a young woman walking in slowly. The woman had a pink face scarf on her face, revealing a pair of autumn eyes, and a touch of cinnabar between her eyebrows, which made her look charming.

She was wearing a white satin dress with flowing sleeves, looking like a fairy from heaven.

The rumor that Princess Xueyan is extremely beautiful is not without reason.

Xueyan took light steps forward and bowed, "Xueyue Country Xueyan pays respect to the emperor."

The emperor looked down at Princess Xueyan and said, "It is said that Princess Xueyan is extremely beautiful. Seeing her today, it is true that her reputation is well-deserved."

Xueyan smiled faintly: "Your Majesty is very kind."

After a few polite greetings, Princess Xueyan and the envoy were seated, just opposite Xiao Jinyan.

Shen Chuwei admired the beautiful woman and picked up a grape and put it in his mouth.

Seeing this, Xiao Jinyan whispered a reminder: "Pay attention to your manners."

"Yeah." Shen Chuwei nodded vigorously, covering her mouth with a handkerchief while spitting out the skin. Posture is very important.

Xiao Jinyan just looked at her quietly.

Shen Chuwei looked at the crystal elbow, raised his head and glanced around, and had already grabbed the elbow with his hand, intending to take a bite when no one was looking.

As a result, I saw Princess Xueyan, who was sitting opposite, looking over here, probably staring at Xiao Jinyan.

She turned her head to look at Xiao Jinyan and found that Xiao Jinyan was looking at her. She followed his line of sight and looked down to the hand that was holding her elbow.

For a moment, it was extremely awkward.

Shen Chuwei said, "I will pick it up gracefully and take a small bite."

"This occasion is not suitable for eating crystal pork elbow."

Shen Chuwei heard that it was still edible if you were careful.

While the emperor was talking with the envoy, Shen Chuwei was looking for a suitable opportunity to take a bite of the crystal pork elbow.

Finally, when they clinked their glasses in the air, Shen Chuwei picked up the elbow, took a big bite and put it back, then covered it with her wide sleeves. To outsiders, it looked like she was drinking.

Xiao Jinyan happened to see her biting the pork elbow. Just as he had guessed, he could not help but hold his forehead and lower his eyes to look at the whole crystal pork elbow in front of him. He wondered why the lunch room did not slice it this time? It was not convenient to eat at all.

As the banquet was coming to an end, the Emperor signaled the Crown Prince and the other princes to accompany Princess Xueyan to familiarize themselves with the palace.

Everyone knew the emperor's arrangement, which was to let Princess Xueyan choose her own husband, which was also the greatest honor for the princess.

The emperor did this with consideration for the diplomatic relations between the two countries. Although Daxia won the battle this time, it was a narrow victory.

In addition to giving two cities as a gift, the Xueyue Kingdom also gave Princess Xueyan a very generous dowry.

As a courtesy, Da Xia should naturally treat Princess Xueyan well.

After leaving the palace, we came to the Imperial Garden

Princess Xueyan is beautiful and has an ethereal aura that will make anyone fall in love with her.

The princes surrounded Princess Xueyan and introduced themselves, all hoping that Princess Xueyan would choose them.

Xueyan looked at the man in a black brocade robe standing not far away and asked the Sixth Prince, "Is he the Crown Prince?"

The Sixth Prince Xiao Qi followed the snow smoke and looked over, his sight fell on Xiao Jinyan, and nodded: "Yes, he is my fourth brother, the crown prince of the dynasty."

Xueyan stared at the slender figure for a long time, and asked Xiao Qi in confusion, "Why doesn't the prince come over?"

"I'll ask him to come over." Xiao Qi walked towards Xiao Jinyan, "Prince."

Shen Chuwei held Xiao Jinyan's hand and glanced at Princess Xueyan secretly, "Your Highness, shall we go back now?"

When Xiao Jinyan saw Xiao Qi coming over, she retracted her gaze and looked at Shen Chuwei, saying softly, "You go back first, I will go back later."

"Oh." Shen Chuwei bowed and glanced at Princess Xueyan before leaving.

Chunxi supported Shen Chuwei and looked back at His Highness, "My Lady, could it be that Princess Xueyan has taken a fancy to His Highness?"

Shen Chuwei asked: "If it were you, who would you choose among those princes?"

"Of course it's His Highness. He's handsome, has an extraordinary temperament, and is also the Crown Prince..."

Chunxi realized something was wrong as she was talking, so she said cautiously, "If Princess Xueyan chooses His Highness, then wouldn't the East Palace have another woman vying for favor?"

"Maybe." Shen Chuwei saw that the hem of her skirt was in the way, so she simply lifted it up.

Chunxi saw her calves exposed and quickly held them down, "My lady, you can't lift your skirt so high."

"What a hassle." Shen Chuwei had no choice but to let down her skirt again.

"Princess Xueyan is so beautiful, what if Your Highness..." Chunxi raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Chuwei, "My lady, are you jealous?"

Shen Chuwei asked: "Are you going to eat dumplings for lunch?"

Chunxi knew that her young master only cared about eating. "Young master, what I mean is, do you feel uncomfortable when you see His Highness with other women?"

Good evening, my darlings!

I'm acting cute and asking for monthly votes and recommendation votes, and I'll update more!
