C220 When the Royal Banquet Was about to Begin(3)

After hearing what Ye Tian said, 5th Princess Judy could only agree and say, "That's true. Mr. Ye really doted on Ai Lianna too much. It would be great if I had such an adopted brother. Although I don't have a chance to become Mr. Ye's sister, but. . . I wonder if I have the honor to dance with Mr. Ye?" Judy took the opportunity to invite him.

Ye Tian smiled gently. When Judy thought that there was hope, she heard Ye Tian say. "Oh, I'm really sorry, Princess Judy. I'm already a dance partner today. Before attending this banquet, I promised my fiancée that I would dance with her today. "

"That's really regrettable. I didn't expect Mr. Ye's fiancee to be so overbearing. Mr. Ye's life must not be easy!" Judy said, as if she was pointing at something. She even winked at Ye Tian from time to time. "Hehe. No, I like it this way. My fiancee's performance also shows her love and possessiveness towards me, right? I can understand. If it wasn't for that, I would have suspected. . . Does she really love me!?" Ye Tian said with a smile.

When she heard that Ye Tian was protecting her fiancee in the open and in the dark, Judy could not help but feel uncomfortable. However, in order to maintain her beautiful image, she did not reveal her dissatisfaction in front of Ye Tian. But in her heart, she didn't know how to scold Leng Qingchen.

"Qingchen, come over here for a while. Let me introduce you to the Fifth Princess!" Ye Tian called Leng Qingchen over and hugged her small waist. He then introduced her to Judy, who was beside him, with a face full of happiness.

"Hello, Fifth Princess!" Leng Qingchen naturally saw the meaning in Judy's eyes when she looked at Ye Tian. Clearly, she was eyeing Ye Tian. Indeed, it was Lan Yan who caused trouble. She had gone to Xiao Yatong, and now there was the fifth princess. Maybe she could wait a little longer. There were even more aristocratic ladies and princesses who liked Ye Tian.

"Hello, Miss Leng. I wonder if Miss Leng would mind. Let me borrow your fiancé for a bit. I really hope Mr. Ye can dance with me. I don't think Miss Leng would mind!" Seeing that Ye Tian was not good in this aspect, Judy shifted her attention to Leng Qingchen. Generally speaking, Princess Judy had already spoken. Even if she was unwilling, she had to give the princess face. But this time, Judy's wishful thinking was wrong again.

Leng Qingchen, who was in Ye Tian's arms, smiled and said very disrespectfully to the princess, "Your Highness Fifth Princess. It's not that I don't want to give you face. I also know that Ye Tian's appearance can easily attract the attention of an outstanding girl like you. Originally, there was nothing wrong with dancing. However, I have already made an agreement with Ye Tian. Today, her female companion can only be me. This is a matter of a promise. If the Fifth Princess really wants to dance with Ye Tian. . . Please make an appointment early next time! " Leng Qingchen said coolly, obviously not putting this princess in her eyes.

"Haha, I didn't expect Miss Leng to be such a funny person!" The First Prince's voice sounded from the side.

"Imperial Brother!" The Fifth Princess was looking at her elder brother, the First Prince. She immediately retracted her expression and bowed respectfully to the First Prince.

"Mm! Fifth Sister and Mr. Ye seem to be having a good time chatting!" The First Prince smiled as he held the wine cup in his hand and casually said. His eyes indeed circled around Leng Qingchen a few times before finally placing it on his younger sister unwillingly!

"Two guests from the Empire, we meet again. Miss Leng, every time I see you, It's amazing. If it wasn't for the fact that you already have an owner, I would have caught you no matter what. Become my imperial concubine. However, Miss Leng and I are truly fated. As far as I know, We should have almost become relatives. If I remember correctly. . . More than half a year ago, Miss Leng seemed to have almost become the imperial concubine of my poor Thirteenth Brother!

It's a pity that my brother didn't have the fortune to have such a fiancee. He actually left us on the night before the engagement. It's just that Miss Leng's charm is too strong. It didn't take long for her to become Mr. Ye's fiancée! What a pity. If I had known about Miss Leng's existence earlier, I would have gone to Huaxia! " The First Prince had obviously investigated Leng Qingchen's identity. He was also surprised to find out that this Leng Qingchen was actually the eldest daughter of one of the first-class families in Huaxia, the Leng family. She was once his younger brother's fiancée, but he had never been able to find any information about Ye Tian. The only thing he knew was that Ye Tian suddenly appeared in Huaxia a few months ago. He was a student of Leng Qingchen's university. The relationship between the two teachers and students was also very romantic in the university. But regarding other matters, no matter what kind of power the First Prince used, he could not find out. It was like a character who had suddenly popped up.

"The First Prince is really humorous. I'm glad that I met the right person when I was right. Although I don't know what happened between Qingchen and Thirteenth Prince, it is already a fact that Leng Qingchen is my fiancee now. Do you think it is His Highness the First Prince? " Ye Tian said with a gentle smile on his face. No one could tell what he was feeling. But he also announced the fact that Leng Qingchen is my fiancee. The past was also just the past.

Because he couldn't find out Yi Ye Tian's identity, the First Prince didn't dare to do anything unnecessary in the open ground. After all, he knew that Ye Tian had the support of the Ninth Princess and Twelfth Prince. It wasn't wise to offend those two people. Now was the most important time to compete for the throne.

While they were chatting, two Worthy Lady had already arrived. Dressed in a full set of elegant clothes, Mrs. Bai was dressed in a gaudy dress, and Madam Lan was dressed in a fancy dress. The two of them happened to be two extremes. Below the two of them. The ones sitting were Ming Fei and Ling Fei. The seats among them were still empty. That was Imperial Consort Dia's seat. One should know that under such circumstances, Under normal circumstances, Imperial Consort Dia should have arrived by now. Otherwise, it would be rude. But now, Imperial Consort Dia was pregnant. Of course I'm arrogant.

"Your Highness has arrived!" In the next moment, she wore a dignified and gorgeous golden Empress attire. Queen Madre appeared in front of everyone and everyone greeted her in unison. "No need for formalities!" A dignified and uncharacteristic voice rang out. After the Empress took her seat, Everyone began to play their own games again.

The Empress indifferently swept her gaze across the entire venue, and in the end, the realization naturally gathered on the First Prince's body. The First Prince faced the high and mighty Empress and raised his glass with a smile. The Empress's face flushed, But it quickly dissipated, this speed simply didn't attract the attention of the surrounding people. Of course, except for a few people who already knew about their relationship. The Empress quickly noticed Ye Tian and Leng Qingchen. After all, there were many handsome men and beautiful women in the entire venue. But now, these two were the most outstanding ones. They were even more attractive than those princes and princesses. The Empress looked at Ye Tian's handsome face and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

But she quickly discovered Leng Qingchen and the First Prince looking at Leng Qingchen. Those shining eyes, as the First Prince's Royal Mother and the underground lover, The Empress could be said to understand this son very well. The intention of that gaze was too obvious. A trace of jealousy and killing intent quickly flashed across the Empress's face, but not many people present really paid attention to the Empress. After all, in everyone's impression, Queen Madre was an incompetent Empress. If it wasn't for the family behind her and the help of her late Queen Anna, With Madeleine's beauty and talent, it was simply impossible for her to take the position of Empress and try to please the Empress. It would be better to please Worthy Lady Hua. This woman was the true First Lady of the Inner Palace! It was much better to ask her to come. This time, the Emperor held a birthday banquet for Worthy Lady Hua, which showed Worthy Lady Hua's position in the Emperor's heart. This Empress. . . She would probably never have a chance.

Ye Tian stood on the side and watched coldly. Regarding the last time he accidentally found out about the adultery between the Empress and the First Prince, Ye Tian felt that this game was getting more and more interesting. This Empress isn't as useless as others think she is! Ye Tian still clearly remembered the conversation between her and the First Prince.

"Steward Genelli, why hasn't Imperial Consort Dia arrived yet? Didn't you inform her when His Majesty would arrive?" The Empress looked at the empty seat of Imperial Consort Dia. She asked the Palace Chief at the side. The Empress was indeed sneering in her heart and was worrying about not finding Imperial Consort Dia. She did not think that Imperial Consort Dia would be late for an important banquet and that even she, the Empress, would be here. She, a First Concubine, was not here yet.

"Your Highness, this official had already accurately informed Her Highness Imperial Consort Dia of the time. This official had already called the palace maids to urge Her Highness Imperial Consort Dia. I reckon that she will come in a moment!" Genelli respectfully replied. Actually, after being in the Imperial Palace for so many years, how could Genelli not understand what was going on? He had become proud just because he was pregnant with the dragon seed. However, he had always thought that Imperial Consort Dia was a smart person. He did not think that she would still walk on this old path.

"Big sister Empress, I see that Imperial Consort Dia is looking down on you more and more. She thinks that by carrying the child of the Emperor, she will be able to ascend to heaven. She even forgets the most basic etiquette in the Imperial Palace, but in the end, she is just a lowly palace maid being born. Furthermore, she was a person from China, so it was understandable for her to do so. As expected, she would do whatever she was born to! " Madam Lan, who had always been prejudiced against Imperial Consort Dia, said as she was afraid that the world would not be in chaos.

Regarding Madam Lan's venomous tongue, it could be said that the few concubines present had already gotten used to it. "Big Sister Empress, this kind of atmosphere is not helping her. Isn't it just getting pregnant? None of us here haven't been pregnant before, right? She still thinks she's someone, she really doesn't take big sister and us seriously. . . If we don't teach her a lesson now, she won't know what to do to us in the future! " Madam Lan shook her good friend. She continued to criticize them with a harsh tone.

"Sister Lan, it seems like you have a lot of opinions about me. I think you should bring it up today and let Your Highness's hair fall on me. My poor child can only suffer along with Royal Mother! " When the concubines were not paying attention, Imperial Consort Dia was already standing at the back and clearly heard what she just said. Looking at Madam Lan, she did not have a good tone. It was obvious that she was gnashing her teeth in hatred in her heart, but on the surface, she still maintained the demeanor of a First Concubine.

Imperial Consort Dia knew that these concubines probably did not like her. Who asked her to be the birth of a lowly palace maid, and the person here was not a noble young lady. No matter what, she was still an empire's young lady, and the only one who wasn't born in the empire was the princess of a large family in Freedom Alliance. And he was originally a lowly girl who accompanied Imperial Consort Rong from Huaxia to marry. His status was the lowest. It was so profound that in the Empire, the importance of status. . . This was also what Imperial Consort Dia avoided the most.

Now that Madam Lan had said it in front of everyone, Imperial Consort Dia naturally did not have a good expression.

"Why? Why did you come so late? Or else people will say it. Could it be that I said something wrong? You are a lowly person with a lowly status to begin with. Now, you are able to climb to your current position. I still do not know what kind of evil art you, the fox girl, used to seduce His Majesty! You think that you are amazing just because you are pregnant? I will not buy your hair if you are flat! You have not been pregnant for ten years. You suddenly got pregnant. I really don't know what's going on!" Although Madam Lan was speaking ill of people behind their backs, It was a little awkward for the main character to hear it, but in the end, she said it without stopping.

Imperial Consort Dia's entire face turned pale, but the Empress did not give her a chance to retaliate. She opened her mouth and said, "Alright, the two of you stop messing around. It was not a big deal to begin with, but if this continued, it would not look like a concubine. The more he spoke, the more outrageous he became. Although Madam Lan's words were a bit unpleasant to hear, she had always been a person who spoke quickly and anxiously. If there was no ill will, Imperial Consort Dia, you don't have to mind. Imperial Consort Dia, what happened this time was also because you were late. You should also reflect on yourself, even though your birth was not good. But in the end, you have been in the Imperial Palace for ten years. Back then, your Mistress Imperial Consort Rong was an educated and reasonable person. How many years had she been by her side? I think that you, Imperial Consort Dia, should have been influenced by a lot! As a concubine of the Emperor, you must have the appearance of a concubine. Let's forget about being late this time. Imperial Consort Dia, you should go back and reflect on yourself!" The Empress rarely displayed her position and said. Of course, she did not miss the opportunity to mock Imperial Consort Dia's subordinates.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Although he was unwilling in his heart, She really wanted to go up and give Madam Lan a slap, she was helpless. She was one level higher than him and was one of the three Worthy Lady. Moreover, she was born in one of the four great aristocrats, the so-called old aristocrats. It was the same faction as the Empress, who was also the head of the Four Great Nobles. The Empress was in the same interest as the Empress, so the Empress would definitely help Madam Lan. Although the Empress was an incompetent Empress, But the Empress is still the Empress and has supreme authority.

"Lan Qi'er, you better keep your mouth shut. No matter what, Imperial Consort Dia is also your sister, we will serve His Majesty together. If His Majesty finds out how you view your sister, His Majesty will definitely not be happy. Furthermore, Imperial Consort Dia was indeed pregnant and pregnant. It was always a little inconvenient. Therefore, I do not wish to hear those words in the future! " The Empress turned a lot gentler and said to Madam Lan on the other side.

Madam Lan, although she wasn't convinced, she clearly couldn't not give face to the Empress. She pouted and could only say, "I understand, Big Sister Empress!"

Thus, a storm disappeared just like that, but a shadow of conflict was buried in her heart.

On one side, Mrs. Bai had always been aloof from worldly affairs, so she naturally just watched this battle coldly. On the other side, because Consort Lin was a member of the Freedom Alliance, she was restricted by her status, so she naturally did not join the conversation just now. Imperial Consort Dia sat down on her seat and did not say anything.

"Your Highness, Your Highnesses, please allow me to bring my distinguished guest from China to meet my Royal Mother!" Twelfth Prince brought Ye Tian to the front of the few people and bowed.

The few women had just noticed this incomparably handsome young man and were more or less curious about this young man. Ye Tian, who was standing at the side, gave them a slight bow. "What a handsome young master, the 12th Prince, where did you find him?" Madam Lan, who was at the side, was obviously interested in Ye Tian and spoke first.

"Hehe, not at all. I didn't find that handsome man. He is the adopted brother of the Ninth Princess, Ai Lianna, who came from Huaxia. Of course, he is also my most distinguished guest now! " Hearing what Twelfth Prince said, the few women had new considerations for Ye Tian. This handsome man in front of them was able to simultaneously gain the favor of the Ninth Princess, who was famous for being strange in the royal family, and Twelfth Prince. Clearly, he was a person that could not be underestimated.

"So Young Master is the adopted brother that the Ninth Princess mentioned! He is indeed very handsome and unrestrained!" The Empress who sat on the high seat spoke.

"Your Highness, you praise me too much. I am afraid!" Ye Tian put on a signature smile and replied. He looked at the Empress and couldn't help but blush.

"Young master came from China, but he came from the same hometown as our Imperial Consort Dia!" The Empress quickly returned to her normal state and said.

"This is my honor. I didn't think that I would be able to see His Highness from China in this Imperial Palace. I am a mixed-blood, and I used to live in the Empire for a while, so I am not very unfamiliar with the Empire!" Ye Tian said indifferently.

"So young master is a mixed-blood. No wonder he looks so good. " Madam Lan looked at Ye Tian from the side and said with a smile. When she heard that Ye Tian had a common imperial bloodline, her attitude became much better.

Ye Tian noticed that Imperial Consort Dia was looking at him and smiled at her. He looked at Imperial Consort Dia and quickly looked away. However, his heart couldn't help but skip a few beats. He had heard that it was from Huaxia. Imperial Consort Dia already had a good impression of Ye Tian. Just now, she had been electrocuted again. She was at an loss as to what to do. Ye Tian looked at his solution with satisfaction. He faced Angel, who was behind Imperial Consort Dia, and smiled devilishly. Angel rolled her eyes at Ye Tian. After a few interactions, She had a certain degree of immunity towards Ye Tian, but Angel was also this extremely handsome man. In fact, he was the most terrifying devil from hell. However, Angel was also very curious about what kind of tricks this man was up to. Based on her initial understanding of this man, it was obvious that he would not do something meaningless. However, today was such a good occasion. It was indeed very suitable for someone to perform! Angel couldn't help but start looking forward to it!

Twelfth Prince watched Ye Tian very naturally deal with the few women and walked in front of Royal Mother, who was beside him. He smiled and said, "Royal Mother, I brought Ai Lianna's sworn brother to see you. Aren't you very curious about who could make our proud Ninth Princess like him? What do you think now?" Twelfth Prince said to Royal Mother and Mrs. Bai as if he was presenting a treasure.

"You are the only one with a lot of ulterior motives. Not bad, you are indeed an amazing person. It seems that the Ninth Princess and my son have good taste. It is just that. . . " Mrs. Bai looked at Ye Tian and said in a prophetic manner.

"Your majesty, Worthy Lady Hua has arrived!" Instantly everyone stood up from their chairs. The people who were dancing suddenly stopped in their tracks and walked towards the entrance.

The Emperor was dressed in black, which further accentuated his emperor's aura and power. It also made him look more majestic and handsome, and the corner of his mouth was slightly raised. He gave people the impression that he was friendly, and that he was holding onto a sexy woman. She wore a red low-cut dress, revealing deep cleavage. The demon's figure and that beautiful and indescribable face. She was like a demon. She had a sweet smile on her face, obviously because of the man beside her.

The two of them appeared at the door. No matter how one looked at it, they were indeed waiting for the right person. It made people unable to move their eyes away. Indeed, the number one handsome man in the Empire and Worthy Lady Hua, who was once called the number one beauty in the Empire, were both very dazzling. In front of them, the other people lost a lot of color.

"May Your Majesty be at ease!" After the leader was lost for a few seconds, they bowed cautiously and said in unison, May Your Majesty be at ease!

"Alright, everyone, get up. Today is Worthy Lady Hua's birthday. Don't be too bothered by the formalities. You have to have fun today. Otherwise, I am sorry that Worthy Lady Hua invited you!" Shurt held Worthy Lady Hua's arm and said with a smile. The people below nodded.

Ye Tian looked at his blood-related father. When Ye Tian was young. He had secretly seen this Royal Father once in the backyard. This could be said to be the second son of the father and son meeting, but they hadn't seen each other for many years. Ye Tian's face had already changed beyond recognition, but this emperor had been there for ten years. However, there hadn't been much of a change. It was as if time hadn't left any marks on his face. While Ye Tian was observing the Emperor, the Emperor naturally noticed the handsome young man not far away from him. According to the information, Shurt knew. . . This handsome young man was the adopted brother of Ai Lianna in Huaxia, a person that even he couldn't find out who he was. The two of them looked at each other for a few seconds. Very quickly, they were able to avoid looking at each other at an unnoticeable speed, as if they had never looked at each other.

Purple Rain gossiped, I accidentally fell asleep yesterday, so there was no update. But today, I added the chapter from yesterday, two chapters and one chapter. So the number of words in this chapter was not small. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, Xiao Bei will be going to Hangzhou with her dormitory mates for a vacation. Therefore, she needs to take two days off, but everyone can be at ease. When Xiao Bei returns, she will make up for the two days of updates in the next two days! It will not be a lack of updates!
