Chapter 117 Dinner



The group of people looked at Leng Yan for a long time before they came to their senses. Their eyes were full of admiration as they looked at Leng Yan.

At this time Leng Yan stood up and said, "Everyone, see you later." After that, his figure disappeared on the spot.

When everyone saw her leave, they panicked. They stood up and wanted to keep Leng Yan, but saw Leng Yan disappear on the spot.

Seeing this, everyone looked at the man who had spoken to Leng Yan before, with anger in their eyes.

Miao Yi on the side was different from the others. Her face was red at this moment. She didn't expect that Luo Li was Leng Yan. When she thought about the fact that she had done Leng Yan's makeup, she felt that she was the happiest person in the world.

Leng Yan had no idea what everyone was thinking at this moment. She was heading towards the palace. There was a palace banquet tonight and she had to go back as soon as possible.

Not long after Leng Yan returned to her own Chaolu Palace, a palace maid brought her clothes for tonight's dinner. Leng Yan was working on the paperwork on her desk when she felt someone come in. Without even looking up, she said, "Just put it aside."

But the man did not respond. Leng Yan did not hear the man leave for a long time, so he looked up and saw his mother standing there looking at him.

Seeing this, Leng Yan immediately put down the pen in her hand and stood up and said, "Why is my mother here?" The queen looked at Leng Yan and smiled, "My mother is here to bring you clothes for tonight."

Leng Yan said, "Your Majesty, you can just let the palace maids handle these matters. Why bother coming here in person?" The Queen said, "Your Majesty knows what you are worried about. Don't worry, Your Majesty has already arranged all the matters. You don't have to worry, Yan'er."

Leng Yan was relieved after hearing this. The Queen said to Leng Yan, "Yan'er, come and try on the palace dress to see if it fits you." After that, she turned around and called the palace servants outside. The palace servants waiting outside immediately came in carrying trays.

Leng Yan was helped by the palace maids to change her clothes and put on her makeup. While putting on her makeup, the palace maids looked at Leng Yan's face and were at a loss. Leng Yan's face was so beautiful that they didn't know where to start.

The Queen looked at Leng Yan's face and pondered for a while before finally applying lip balm to Leng Yan's pale lips. Then, she led Leng Yan towards the palace banquet venue.

When Leng Yan was almost there, she could hear the conversation coming from inside from a long distance away. Leng Yan heard that the person people were talking about the most was herself, the fifth princess who had just returned to Beijing recently.

This palace banquet is different from previous ones. Officials of the sixth rank and above can bring their families with them.

These ministers were all smart people and naturally knew the purpose of this move. The Ming Emperor was afraid that they didn't know that Leng Yan did it on purpose.

However, some ministers with active minds thought that since Leng Yan was coming, other princes and princesses would definitely come as well, so they started to have evil thoughts.

Some people also noticed that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty favored Leng Yan the most and wanted to take this opportunity to let their son get to know Leng Yan.

So, for different purposes, each minister brought his own children. The dinner scene was now extremely lively.

The queen looked at Leng Yan and said, "Yan'er, we will wait here for your father to come." Leng Yan nodded, and then walked with the queen to the pavilion on the side.

Leng Yan had no interest in those people's curiosity, and she didn't care what others said about her.

It didn't take long before the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty came walking towards this side, surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs.

Upon seeing this, the Queen immediately went forward with Leng Yan. The Emperor Daming held the Queen's hand and walked forward, with Leng Yan following beside him.

When the three of them arrived, it was still very noisy inside. At this time, everyone heard the eunuch at the door singing: "The Emperor has arrived, the Empress has arrived, Princess Jiayang is saying." In an instant, everyone quieted down and some knelt at the door and bowed their heads to salute.

After the Ming Emperor came in, he glanced at everyone and said, "My dear ministers, please stand up. Tonight's dinner can be treated as a family dinner." After thanking him, the ministers stood up and sat in their seats.

Leng Yan was pulled by the Queen towards the seat on the podium. At this time, there was a table next to the seat of the Emperor of Ming on the podium. It was obvious that the seat was reserved specially for Leng Yan.

After everyone stood up, they all turned their eyes to Leng Yan. When they saw Leng Yan's face, they were all stunned. Leng Yan was still wearing a black gown with golden lotus embroidered on the hem, but it was more luxurious than before. Her elegant posture revealed her royal style as she walked.

What attracts the most attention is her face. Even knowledgeable people can't think of words to describe Leng Yan.

Leng Yan slowly walked towards the higher ground under the gaze of everyone, without even glancing at these people.

After the three of them sat down, the chief eunuch Liu Fude shouted, "Let's start the banquet!" The word "let's start the banquet" brought everyone back from their daze.

Afterwards, everyone ate and drank, but their eyes were almost all on Leng Yan. They had a feeling that after tomorrow, Leng Yan would become completely famous in the Ming Dynasty. No, it should be said that after tonight's dinner.

Leng Yan felt everyone's gaze but ignored it. Then she felt a gaze different from that of others falling on her. The gaze was so strong that it was difficult for her to ignore it.

So Leng Yan looked up indifferently, and then her eyes met the eyes of the National Master Zhou Junqian. When Leng Yan saw that it was the National Master, she withdrew her gaze.

Zhou Junqian was a little nervous when he saw Leng Yan looking at him, but then Leng Yan just glanced at him and looked away. Seeing this, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

He and Leng Yan were old acquaintances. They had known each other since childhood. At that time, Zhou Junqian was not yet the National Master, and the National Master was his master.

At that time, he had been learning alone from his master, but one day Leng Yan came. Leng Yan was only five or six years old at the time, but there was no trace of the ignorance of a five or six year old in his eyes. Instead, there was a calmness and composure that came from seeing through everything in the world.

Later, Leng Yan stayed in the Imperial Master's Mansion for a while, but Zhou Junqian and her kept a state of ignoring each other. At first, Zhou Junqian didn't quite understand why his master wanted to keep the fifth princess in the Imperial Master's Mansion.

One day, he accidentally overheard a conversation between Leng Yan and his master, and he learned that his master could not see through the Fifth Princess' fate. Zhou Junqian was amazed to learn the reason. He had never thought that there was someone in the world that his master could not see through.

In the following time, Zhou Junqian kept observing Leng Yan. He found that Leng Yan was like a god, with no joy or sorrow and an indifferent look every day.

Zhou Junqian was a little confused about why Leng Yan had such a personality, but no one could explain it to him.

His relationship with Leng Yan was eased when an assassin broke into the Imperial Master's Mansion. At that time, Leng Yan was very calm when he saw the assassin.

Zhou Junqian followed behind Leng Yan and saw Leng Yan slowly take out a packet of poison powder and sprinkle it in the air without anyone noticing. In less than an incense stick, all the assassins were knocked down. She also instructed him to tie them up in an orderly manner.

At that time, all Zhou Junqian could think about was how handsome Leng Yan was.

Later, Leng Yan left not long after he left. After Leng Yan left, Zhou Junqian would find reasons to visit Leng Yan from time to time. A few years later, Zhou Junqian heard from his master that Leng Yan had gone to the world of cultivation.

Now, more than ten years later, he saw Leng Yan again. Seeing that Leng Yan was fine, he couldn't help but feel relieved. It can be said that Leng Yan was like a sister to him.

It was already very late when the palace banquet ended, and everyone left in a hurry in order to leave before the key to the palace gate was locked.

Seeing everyone leaving Leng Yan, they also planned to leave. When Leng Yan turned around and was about to leave, she heard someone calling her from behind.
