Bab 77: Chapter 77: Provocation from the Strong
"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-
Bab 78: Chapter 78: Provocation from the Strong 2
In the past when Princess Zhang brought her to the palace, whenever that small girl saw him she would always bear a somewhat fearful and somewhat shy expression. If his there is anger behind his words, it would frighten her enough for her to weep.
However the present Huang Bei Yue actually dare lift her clear eyes and look at him face to face. There isn't the slightest bit of weakness of shyness from the past.
Everyone says that a girl changes eighteen times between childhood and womanhood, it seems that after the death of Princess Zhang, she has slowly grew up and changed.
Zhan Ye doesn't know why but his heart is somewhat happy.
"Bei Yue, when your health is better, in the future come to the palace more often to walk around. These several years you haven't come to the palace, the Empress Dowager miss you very much." Princess Ying Ye said sincerely.
Huang Bei Yue's impression of Princess Ying Ye now is better than it was before. Although Ying Ye is unruly and headstrong, she is straightforward, upholds justice and dares to do anything.
People with honest temperaments, Huang Bei Yue appreciates them.
When she's about to nod, a eunuch ran in to report: "Your majesty, Prince Yi has arrived, Master Xi Tian has also arrived!"
Xia Guang Hall suddenly fell silent, the Emperor is overjoyed and stood up, with long strides he walked down and personally went out to greet him.
It seems like all the countries value experts and talents, it is definitely true.
Huang Bei Yue noticed that in front of her, several people who are wearing magnificent garments. A group of elderly princes and aristocrats are seated together immediately catches people's eyes, each and every one of them sitting upright and still.
Huang Bei Yue is able to clearly distinguish the aura of experts. Although those people didn't emit aura of death, their manners belong to that of an expert. They couldn't hide it.
It seems that they're all Nan Yi Country's experts. With that kind of imposing manners, their strength is probably above eight stars.
Listening to Xiao Yuan Cheng whisper to Xiao Yun: "Yun 'er, your grandfather is over there. Later go over there and pay your respect to him."
"I understand father." Xiao Yun agreed immediately.
Xiao Yuan Cheng happily said: "Since your grandfather have came to the palace banquet, it seems like he broke through to the rank of an eight star summoner."
"Grandfather's summon beast is Raging Inferno Leopard, that is a rank 12 spirit beast. With grandfather's current strength, if he fought against a nine star summoner, it would be hard to know who would win or lose."
Xiao Yuan Cheng nodded his head, that proud and arrogant look on his face made it seem as if he himself have become a nine star summoner.
Huang Bei Yue's impression of the Xiao family's old man is not deep, that old man didn't like Xiao Yuan Cheng marrying Princess Zhang. Becoming the Emperor's son-in-law and becoming a member of their family, making the Xiao family lose their face. So the relatives doesn't really like Huang Bei Yue.
Xiao family's old man lives in the Xiao family's main residence. For many years, Huang Bei Yue didn't go there many times. Every time she went, she fear that old man's imposing aura so she didn't dare look at him.
So in reality, she doesn't know how Xiao family's old man is like.
When her gaze circled once around the group of experts, she realized that an old man with long white hair and beard look towards them. When he saw Xiao Yun, the expression on the face looked somewhat relieved.
Xiao Yun's face immediately showed a smile.
It seems that the white hair old man is Xiao family's old man, Xiao Qi Yuan.
Xiao Qi Yuan with the other experts turn their attention to the entrance of Xia Guang Hall, waiting for the legend, Xi Tian who have the Ice Luan Spirit Bird of the 'Five Spirit Beast'.
The Emperor walked to the entrance, a few princes and ministers naturally followed.
Several eunuch carrying lanterns helped guide the path. Slowly, a petite figure whose whole body is shrouded in a black cloak enter their line of sight.
Elegant and mysterious, proud and cold!
Sure enough, it's just as the rumors says!
"Master Xi Tian, We (imperial we) waited a long time!"
