“The emperor of South? Hmph… A barbaric thief is also called an emperor.” Xiao Tianyao said, his voice was not loud, but the meaning can directly poke a person’s heart.
Nannuo Yao’s face instantly turned “pale”, her body even staggered. But in the end, she bites her lips and said: “Xiao w.a.n.gye, please be careful with your words.”
Xiao Tianyao didn’t pay attention to Nannuo Yao, his gaze pa.s.sed through her body, as he asked the emperor: “Imperial brother, is there still a palace banquet?” Meaning, if the emperor doesn’t want to continue, he should quickly dismiss everyone. He has no interest to be together with all these people.
“Ahem, ahem… …” The emperor loudly coughed and said to Imperial Concubine Zhou: “My beloved concubine, Princess Nannuo Yao accidentally soiled her clothes, you go and accompany her to change clothes.” Obviously, the emperor was siding to Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu.
With this, it can be said that the Emperor and Xiao Tianyao’s fight was only the East Country’s business. Princess Nannuo Yao was too naive to join in. Only her thinks that if she slapped the Eastern Country’s princess, the emperor will give her so much face.
Nannuo Yao’s face became more and more ugly, she wanted to open her mouth again. However, when she looked up, she saw the empress’s gentle face but eyes full of warning.
This was the Eastern Country, not the South. Who was she to continue showing off her arrogance? If she continued to fight with Xiao Tianyao, only her will suffer in the end.
Nannuo Yao took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart. She brought out a smile and said with full of tenderness: “Thank you, Huangshang. But, this princess doesn’t dare to bother Imperial Concubine Zhou. Xiao w.a.n.gfei and this princess have the same age. It’s better to ask Xiao w.a.n.gfei to accompany me to change clothes.”
Imperial Concubine Zhou just stood up, but when she heard Nannuo Yao’s words, the smile on her face got stiff. The expression on her face even became sluggish for a moment.
This little princess dare not to bother a concubine like her, but dared to bother Lin Chujiu, a w.a.n.gfei? Obviously, she was using her to step on Lin Chujiu’s head.
Imperial Concubine Zhou never likes to be used by anyone. But this Princess Nannuo Yao dragged her into muddy water, so she won’t be polite anymore.
Imperial Concubine Zhou sat back steadily and said in a gentle way: “Princess Nannuo Yao, I’m afraid that you don’t fully understand the rules in the royal family. Xiao w.a.n.gfei is a princess, but she’s not familiar in the palace. If Princess Nannuo Yao mainly feels troubled to bother this imperial concubine, then let the palace maid accompany you.” Although the meaning in Imperial Concubine Zhou’s words was not clear, it was enough to make Nannuo Yao’s face change.
Without waiting for Nannuo Yao to agree, Imperial Concubine Zhou said in a loud voice: “Someone come and serves Princess Nannuo Yao to change clothes.”
The Emperor didn’t stop Imperial Concubine Zhou, he silently supported her words. A palace maid came forward and respectfully guide Nannuo Yao. However, Nannuo Yao remained standing in the same place. She didn’t take any step to leave.
In such an awkward occasion, no one could open their mouth. Everyone thought that the situation will freeze again. But the next moment, Xiao Tianyao raised his cup and said to the emperor: “Imperial brother, this younger brother give you a toast.”
There was no flowery words, Xiao Tianyao didn’t even stand up. But, he broke the silence inside the imperial hall. The emperor also took his cup and sip.
“Huangshang, this prince of west, also give you a toast.” The Prince of West, Ji Fengyu, when he saw a chance, he stood up and offer a toast. He tried to control the situation this time.
Today’s palace banquet was for the representative of South and West. However, Nannuo Yao s.n.a.t.c.hed all the limelight. Although she lost her face in public and cause such trouble. It can’t be denied that he was completely ignored by everyone.
Although their military power was the weakest among the four countries, he cannot let them belittle them.
“Prince Fengyu is polite, say h.e.l.lo to your father in behalf of me.” Ji Fengyu was not given yet the t.i.tle of the crown prince. So this time, he came to the east to seek an imperial marriage.
Now that Xiao Tianyao and Ji Fengyi paved a way, the other palace officials also offered a toast to the emperor. But of course, they also didn’t forget to offer a toast to Ji Fengyu. After all, he was also a protagonist of today’s banquet.
In an instant, the imperial hall became lively. As for the Nannuo Yao, who was still standing in the front, she was continuously ignored by everyone.
Whether she was only acting stupid or not, she has already reached the point of no salvation. Others just want to talk to the Prince of West. After all, Nannuo Yao did not only offend Xiao w.a.n.gye but also the emperor!
Without Nannuo Yao’s disturbance, the banquet went well very smoothly. Ji Fengyu’s att.i.tude was very proper. He was very humble in front of the emperor. Even if the strength of their West Country was not strong, in a short while, he won a lot of affection of the palace officials. Even Right Prime Minister You couldn’t help but say to his grandson beside him: “The West Prince is not simple.”
“Unfortunately, he is not favored.”Right Prime Minister You‘s grandson smiled lightly, his smile was very similar to his grandfather.
Ji Fengyu was really not a favored son in the West. Because if he was, why would he go to the East Country to ask an imperial marriage?
Nannuo Yao was completely ignored by everyone. At this moment, she was very ashamed and annoyed. According to her calculations, the emperor shouldn’t have shown any mercy, he will force Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu apologize to her.
She was not really stupid and arrogant, she dared to cause this trouble because she knew the Eastern people will not dare to offend her.
Nannuo Yao remained standing in the front full of dilemma. She was regretting it. If she had known that this will happened, she should have listened to her Fifth Imperial Brother. By then, she wouldn’t put herself in this predicament.
Seeing that Ji Fengyu had actually caught up with Xiao Tianyao, Nannuo Yao slammed her foot. Making a crisp and unpleasant sound while going to her respective place. When she sat down, she forcefully grabbed the table and chair.
*Bang* The sound was not that loud, but can make people felt awkward to continue talking. Many people frowned and looked at Nannuo Yao, who was sitting there like a fool.
Nannuo Yao was a princess in another country, so the palace officials couldn’t just open their mouth. In the end, they just urged their sons and daughters to behave well. If the Nannuo Yao targeted them, it will be big trouble.
Ji Fengyu only said one sentence to Xiao Tianyao but was interrupted by Nannuo Yao. He wanted to continue to talk, but he couldn’t bring out the right atmosphere.
Ji Fengyu was very angry, but he couldn’t show it on the surface of his face. After all, the emperor was still watching from above. He shouldn’t make it too obvious that he wants to talk to Xiao Tianyao. Otherwise, he will not live long in the east.
Everyone present stayed silent for the meantime. When they saw the emperor didn’t say anything and acting as nothing had happened. They continued to talk about their unfinished topic.
Lin Chujiu didn’t make any sound from the start to the end. She just held the cup in her hand but didn’t drink it. Instead, she looked at the people around her secretly. As for Nannuo Yao who looked at her angrily from time to time?
Lin Chujiu completely ignored her. Xiao Tianyao has already expressed his dislike to the imperial family of the south. So, she doesn’t need to put this princess in her eyes. Why does she need to take her seriously anyway?
Lin Chujiu doesn’t want to take Nannuo Yao seriously, but Nannuo Yao regarded her as her enemy. She even wanted to kill her now… …
