C7 Dinner

Naturally, no one dared to stop Prince Jin's carriage. The four of us were successfully sent to the palace by Yang Guang. As soon as Doggie and I entered, we were caught red-handed by Grandma Si Li.

"Princess, why are you dressed like this? Where did he go today? This caused the old servant to have a hard time finding it! " Grandma looked at the two of us in displeasure, her face full of surprise.

"What do you want from me, Grandma?" I changed the subject. Of course, I couldn't let her know about leaving the palace, or else she wouldn't know how to react.

"The empress sent someone over today." The granny answered, still dissatisfied with my men's attire, and took me to the inner room to change.

"Ah?!" What did the empress send someone here for?! " I was so scared that I stood rooted to the spot with my mouth wide open. I thought to myself, This is bad, could it be that our secret escape from the palace has been exposed?

"Why is the princess making such a fuss? Her Highness the Empress said that she would host a banquet for Prince Jin tonight, and invited the princess over. " As she talked about the Jin Emperor, her mother-in-law's face lit up. She was thinking about which clothes she should wear for the princess and which accessories she should wear, yet her mouth kept chattering on:

"I've heard that our Prince Jin has rendered a great service by taking down Nan Chen in one fell swoop. He even brought many tribute, including many of Nan Chen's imperial concubines. Isn't the empress busy cleaning the empty palace today?"

I was also filled with anticipation for today's banquet. It was too embarrassing for me to appear before him in male attire during the day, but fortunately, he did not have any dissatisfaction. At night, I will definitely appear before him in the most beautiful manner possible, letting him know that I am not the miserable fake brat during the day, but a gentle and virtuous princess, his most beautiful princess.

Thinking of this, I also along with mother-in-law to choose clothes, although in the end did not reach an agreement with mother-in-law, but mother-in-law is unable to change me, can only comply with me.

I was wearing a long white dress with a tall waist. I wore a white muslin gown around my shoulders. My shoes had intentionally chosen a pair of slightly taller wooden clogs, exposing my white and delicate feet. Although I am a bit taller than my peers, when I met Yang Guang today, I knew that I was very petite. I didn't want to be a child in his eyes.

"This is too plain, not in line with the princess' identity. Don't be mocked by others. But then again, our princess is born beautiful. Even though she is dressed so plainly, she still looks like a fairy." Nanny looked at my slightly floating muslin, and kept sighing. But how could she know what I was thinking?

The hairstyle doesn't have to be complicated. After simple combing, I only used an ordinary jade hairpin, two silver tassels, and a pair of thin, white jade wrists. I wore only a pair of jade bracelets.

"How does Granny feel about Lil ''er's appearance?"

Grandma looked me up and down and praised me:

"Princess is a beautiful woman, her clothes are very beautiful, but her dress is very beautiful." Princess is a beautiful woman, but her clothes are very beautiful.

I smiled mischievously and said to Grandma,

"Could it be that grandma wants me to never grow up?" I don't know why, since meeting Yang Guang today, I suddenly want to grow up and don't want to be that naughty child anymore. And I want to dress up a bit more mature, but also don't want to and the harem a group of vulgar and fat common powder the same moral character.

"This old servant has been negligent, our princess is going to meet her future husband today." The grandma beamed and teased me.

"Granny!" I shyly used a veil to cover my face, but my face had already turned slightly red.

Within the Gala Palace, the Empress sat high up in the throne, the prince and the royal daughter sat below, and below them was a group of officials. The empress has always favored me and Lijun, so we have been accompanied by the two of us.

The kabuki dancers, accompanied by fine wine and delicious food, the empress's face was full of happiness, everyone was enjoying the feast, the entire banquet was joyful and harmonious.

From a distance, I saw Yang Liang and Ah He sitting in a corner, raising a glass to me. I smiled back and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

Yang Guang also looked in my direction from time to time. I don't know why, but every time my eyes met with his, my heart would jump, to the point that I didn't dare to look at him directly.

"Please take a look, your Majesty. Cai'er and Guang'er are both pure and pure. This is truly a match made in heaven. The Kingdom of Liang has fostered a good daughter-in-law for us." The empress looked at me lovingly, then looked at Yang Guang, my face turned even redder, and I just lowered my head without saying a word, but my heart was actually very excited, today's dressing was done on purpose, in the entire banquet, only Yang Guang and I were dressed in white. The empress did not know that we had left the palace today, so she naturally thought that we had come together, and agreed to it.

"It's because he loved his wife and trained him well. It's been a while since I last saw Little Lian, and now she has come into this world. It's been so long that even I almost can't recognize her." "Haha …" The Emperor smiled, and everyone echoed him. I was so ashamed that I hid behind the Empress.

"That's right. That girl was like a monkey yesterday. Why is she so quiet today?" Indeed, now that I have grown up, I should learn more from your Liangjun Sis. Don't mess around with a bunch of palace maids all day, and act like a princess. " The empress has always advocated thrift, I am very satisfied with my simple dress today, often praised me.

The various officials took turns toasting the empress. Yang Guang also came forward with his wine cup, and as he toasted, he looked at me a few times, whether intentionally or not. I knew that my outfit would shock him, after all, it was as though he was a different person today.

But I didn't dare look up at him. I was so flustered that I had to look away, to where Yang Liang was sitting. I didn't know when, but Yang Liang and Ah He had already left, and the place was empty.

While tasting the wine, the emperor chatted with the empress:

"All these Kabuki, singing and singing at this tune, I can hear the calluses in their ears." Empress Dugu was very jealous, she had very strict control over the concubines in the imperial harem, the emperor very rarely favoured her other concubines, and if these concubines wanted to attract the attention of the emperor, they could only do so using the opportunity of singing and dancing, but when they saw the empress's expression, their eager expression was immediately reduced by more than half.

"His Majesty and I share the same thoughts. Those who were trained by the Le Mansion are all of the same opinion. Anyone who listens to it will get tired of it." The empress would naturally not give those concubines a chance to seduce the emperor. After saying that, she intentionally glanced at me.

I understood the meaning in the empress's eyes. In the past year since I entered the palace, the empress had been very strict with me. Every day, I would train myself, as a country girl, to become a lady.

Yili Jun is not as hardworking as I, so many times, I feel that the Queen is closer to me than Lijun.

"Little Sister is willing to play a song for the emperor and queen." I leisurely walked out and bowed towards the empress. The pure white muslin fluttered in the breeze, and even I felt a little ethereal.

However, my heart was in turmoil, and I couldn't calm my nerves. After all, this was the first time that I had performed in public, and my future husband was still present.
