Hearing 'Princess Zhang' these three words, the Empress's beautiful almond shaped eyes swept across Huang Bei Yue. Seeing her, with a complicated expression on her face, she faintly nodded her head.
"Today is just a general banquet, there's not a lot of rules."
When the Queen's eyes swept across her, Huang Bei Yue also raised her head to welcome her gaze.
In her memory, this Empress doesn't like Huang Bei Yue. After the death of Princess Zhang, she have never saw the Empress. It seems like the Empress still doesn't like her ah.
Her gaze was just a faint swept across, her cold gaze doesn't betray any emotions. There's no fear, respect, or hostility.
Towards the Huang Bei Yue now, this is just the first time she have met the Empress.
She doesn't like Huang Bei Yue, but she (Empress) have never hurt her.
With her ordinary gaze, the Empress is slightly astonished. She thought that she must've seen wrong before, how can that weak Huang Bei Yue use such a gaze to look at her?
She can't help but glance at Huang Bei Yue again, she found that the Huang Bei Yue is still the same as the past. She looks sickly, as if a wind would be able to knock her down.
She must've seen wrong.
After such a big commotion by Princess Ying Ye, everyone's eyes in Xia Guang Hall turned their attention to Huang Bei Yue.
Some people point at her in a low voice.
"It turned out that she's Princess Bei Yue ah, after so many years this is the first time I've seen her."
"Just by looking at her it doesn't seem like she's useless ah. But looking closely at her she looks similar to Princess Hui Wen Zhang, she's a beauty in a bud (budding beauty).
"What's the point of being beautiful? To become so sick like that, I'm afraid that the big Princess Zhang Prefecture will have someone else taking over it in the future."
"Ah, such a pitiful thing! At this era, those who can't do martial arts can be only ridiculed by others."
Princess Bei Yue from the Princess Zhang Prefecture is a waste, everyone in Lin Huai City knows that.
That year, how glorious Princess Zhang was. This daughter, she really make her lose face.
Being talked about like that, Huang Bei Yue felt somewhat unsatisfied. She who is the 21st century's genius killer, yet here people think she's waste!
Before she can turn around to give them a glare, news arrived that the Emperor is here.
Everyone in Xia Guang immediately stood up, one by one they kneel down to greet the Emperor.
The Emperor laughed as he walked in, as he walked he raised his hand and said: "Today you don't have to greet me, everyone rise."
The females thank the Emperor.
Huang Bei Yue took this opportunity to look at the Emperor. The memories and actually seeing the Emperor with her owns eyes is different. It's been a few short years that she haven't seen him, this Nai Yi country's Emperor, is as not young and high-spirited as he was in her memories.
Hardship have left a mark at the outer corner of his eyes. His face is still handsome, body is still big and tall, when he walk he is able to bring a gust of wind, brimming with prestige.
Behind him, the handsome and cold Crown Prince Zhan Ye and a few ministers and duke followed.
Huang Bei Yue's eyes are very sharp, with just one glance she can see Prince Xiao Yao, Song Mi who is next to the Crown Prince. He wore an elegant black clothing, a faint smile could be seen at the corner of his mouth.
With the arrival of the Crown Prince and Prince Xiao Yao, making the noble ladies in Xia Guang Hall very moved, of course Xiao Yun is also one of them.
The Emperor went up to his dragon seat and sat down, he waved his sleeve and said: "Did all the guest arrive?"
The eunuch next to him whispered: "Replying to your majesty, there is still Master Xi Tian and Bei Yao country's ninth prince who didn't arrive."
"Oh?" The Emperor slightly narrowed his eyes, his expression is mysterious, worthy of being royalty. He showed no happiness or anger.
Prince Xiao Yao went forward and said: "Reporting to the Emperor. Recently, the ninth prince is seriously ill. So he can't come on time, I hope your majesty won't blame him."
Feng Lian Yi and Prince Xiao Yao are good friends, it is well known in Nan Yi country.
With the status of Prince Xiao Yao, since he has already open his mouth to please, the Emperor have to give him face, he laughed: "It's no bother. It's still early, I and everyone here will wait for the guests to arrive."
Everyone shouted long live the Emperor and then the Emperor bestow seats to the guest.
Xiao Yuan Cheng with Xiao Zhong Qi and Xiao Zhong Lei took seats, when he saw the seat that Huang Bei Yue is seating on. He coldly humphed and also saw Xiao Yun's face full of grievances, his heart full of fury, he said: "Yun 'er, what's the matter?"
Xiao Yun who was full of grievances, said in a low voice: "Yun 'er knows that she's only a daughter of a concubine. Before I accidentally sat at sister's seat, who would've thought I would be scolded by the princess. Father, Yun 'er really did it by accident."
Xiao Yuan Cheng already have a belly of anger towards Huang Bei Yue, now that he heard this, he is even more angry. He glared at her harshly.
Huang Bei Yue play with the wine cup in her hand, she coldly shoot a glance at him, said: "Emperor's son-in-law, right now it's the palace. It's a place with rules. You and I have different statuses. If the imperial censors sees you being disrespectful to me, be careful they might look for you for trouble tomorrow."
"You—–" Xiao Yuan Cheng's body immediately fired up. He couldn't believe that this waste would say these kinds of words to him.
He is her father! She actually dare bring out statuses and positions? Absurd!
"Huh?" Huang Bei Yue coldly turn her pupil to him, the corner of her lips display a mocking smile.
Xiao Yuan Cheng is so angry that he's about to spit out blood. But in the palace, the Emperor and the Empress is here, how could he dare to be impudent?
Xiao Yun who was at the side saw that her father also suffered a big loss, her heart can't help but jump, a indescribable feeling of unease emerge.
When Huang Bei Yue saw that Xiao Yuan Cheng dare to become angry yet not say anything, she lowered her head and sneered, continuing to play with the wine cup.
They deliberately speak in a low voice, so the people around them didn't find that anything was amiss.
Crown Prince Zhan Ye walked up next to Princess Ying Ye and sat down. Princess Ying Ye immediately said: "Royal brother, this is royal auntie's Bei Yue, do you still remember?"
Huang Bei Yue lifted her hand and saw Princess Ying Ye pointing her finger at her, talking to Zhan Ye.
Zhan Ye coldly turned his head and glance at her. There doesn't seem to be any change in expression. Since little, Huang Bei Yue is a weak waste which is different from his firm/unyielding temper. So he pays little attention to this Princess Bei Yue.
Separated for several years, when he saw her again, she still look pale and sickly, only a pair of distinct black and white eyes which appears to be very clear.
Out of courtesy and due to the respect to the deceased Princess Zhang, Zhan Ye said: "I heard that your health isn't good, has it become better?"
The youngster's concern is cold, but the emotions aren't fake, It is merely that he always have this indifferent personality.
Huang Bei Yue's heart feel a little bit warm, nodded her head: "It has gotten better, many thanks for the Crown Prince's concern."
The voice is soft, but it sounded somewhat familiar, Zhan Ye can't help but give her another glance, with this glance, he suddenly discovered that the young lady in front of his eyes looks looks beautiful with flesh of ice and bones of jade, wonderful red lips, her figure is petite and exquisite, temperament cold and clear, cold to the point that she is different from the Huang Bei Yue in the past-
