Chapter 353 - 350
"We"re here mistress" Jiu Wei informed Li s.h.i.+ Ying when the carriage had arrived in front of the palace gate. From here, all guest had to walk by foot to the palace building as no carriage allowed to enter the palace yard.
"Alright" Li s.h.i.+ Ying took a deep breath preparing her heart and mind for this "exciting" banquet she was about to attend.
This banquet...wouldn"t be a simple banquet! She was sure many people would do something to her so she had to be prepared. This wasn"t banquet at all...it was a battlefield!
"Miss, your hand" While Li s.h.i.+ Ying was calming down her heart, Chen was already outside the carriage waiting for her with his hand stretched out.
At this time, Li s.h.i.+ Ying arrival already inviting curious gaze from the other guests who had just arrived at the palace like her.
"Look! That carriage is weird! Which family own that?" One of the guest, pointed her finger to the bright red carriage not far from her place.
A red carriage was obviously stand out from the rest of normal carriage. Even the most influential family didn"t own a red carriage. In this world, carriage was made from wood so the color would mostly be brown or black.
Black wood was so expensive that only rich family could afford it so usually only the Royal family carriage had black colour.
Now Li s.h.i.+ Ying arrived with a weird red carriage! It was for sure eye-catching among the brown carriages there.
"Don"t you know it is not simple carriage! I think it"s divine beast with carriage as its tools form!" One of the guest who gathered at the palace gate, issued his opinion as a famous beast tamer.
That carriage shape was weird. Normal carriage had square shape but Li s.h.i.+ Ying carriage had oval shape just like how crab looked like.
"What? divine beast used as carriage? Who are these people? I never know such a people exist in our country!" The other guests exclaimed in shock hearing the old man explanation.
They were curious about the owner of this carriage!
At first looking at Chen face, Li s.h.i.+ Ying had the urge to slap away his hand but then she realize that many people attention was suddenly on her so..she could only decided to play along with Chen.
"Thank you" With a gentle smile, Li s.h.i.+ Ying gracefully went out from the carriage and took Chen hand as she landed to the ground, looking extremely gorgeous.
When the other guests saw Chen and Li s.h.i.+ Ying came out from the carriage, all of them were taken aback.
Li s.h.i.+ Ying wore veil on her face but somehow people could still guess her age which was considered young!
"The owner of the carriage is that girl? So young!" Another guest gasped in surprise seeing Li s.h.i.+ Ying who by now already walked side by side with Chen.
The guests agree with this guest words. This girl looked so young but she owned a divine beast! Who is this girl? She must be a young lady from famous family but why couldn"t they recognize her?
Along with the guests curious stare, Li s.h.i.+ Ying calmly walked to the palace with Chen holding her hand like a gentleman, creating a mysterious vibe around her.
5 minutes later...
After handing out her invitation card, Li s.h.i.+ Ying and Chen entered the palace guided by a maidservant to their seat while being stared at by the people inside.
"Who is that girl? I never seen her before" the guest began to whisper when they saw Li s.h.i.+ Ying entering the banquet. Usually they would knew each of the guests coming here but this girl...none of them knew who she was!
"I heard that girl is invited as the his highness and her highness saviour!" A well-informed guest told the other guest about the rumor he heard making the guests all nodded their head in unison.
So that girl is the rumored saviour of the crown prince!
Indeed Li s.h.i.+ Ying was rumored as the crown prince saviour right after the crown prince went back to the palace after entering Youdu Mountain.
Li s.h.i.+ Ying could heard some of the guests whisper and how almost all people in the room were staring at her but she still calmly walked to her seat.
To her surprise, her seat was so close to the Royal family seat! Her and Chen"s seat were positioned at the very front, near the Royal family seat.
This seat positioning...must be Duan Hu Yan and Duan Hui Nan idea. No wonder she had bad feeling about this banquet!
Seeing Li s.h.i.+ Ying and Chen sat down at the seat nearest to the Royal family seat, the guests all went into an uproar.
"That girl seat is so close to the Royal family seat! She might not be as simple as his and her highness saviour" A guest made a wild guess out of Li s.h.i.+ Ying ident.i.ty seeing her special seat.
This made other guests became even more curious about Li s.h.i.+ Ying ident.i.ty.
Just who is this girl? So mysterious!
Of course Li s.h.i.+ Ying ignored the guests whispered and calmly waited for the Royal family arrival.
When the Royal family come, that signaled the start of her "battle"!
