C20 Family Feast

Because he was not asleep, when Xiao Yang came in to call Duan Yunfei, he quickly sat up.

Xiao Yang was well aware of her Thirteenth Princess's temperament, even if he took a short nap, it would be difficult to wake him up. He had only called out once and the princess had already woken up. It seemed that the princess was moved by his words. Xiao Yang silently sighed, thinking that if he had known earlier, he would not have mentioned it, and his disciple would have caused the princess to be sad.

Then, he muttered in his heart, this Sir Xiu Heng really isn't a good person, he just had to make use of the Thirteenth Princess to blind the princess' love for him.

Although he thought about it this way, Xiao Yang's hands still moved nimbly, and on the surface, he did not reveal the slightest bit of complaint he was feeling.

Duan Yunfei changed into a light blue muslin dress under Xiao Yang's care. In the late autumn, the evening wind carried a hint of coolness, and Xiao Yang even specially took out a deep blue cloak to hang on Duan Yunfei's shoulders without showing any signs of reality. After all, even though the wind was cool, it wasn't enough to reach the temperature of winter. If she was covered up and walked on this path, she would most likely sweat profusely. If the wind blew on him, she would definitely suffer from the cold.

Even after tidying up properly, Duan Yunfei was still the only one left.

Although Yuwen Di had arranged for many nimble and clever people to serve Duan Yunfei's Red Luan Palace, Duan Yunfei had an independent personality to begin with, so she was not willing to have so many people around to serve him. Thus, most of the time, she was always accompanied by Xiao Yang.

"Princess, I've asked around, there aren't many people attending tonight's feast, the Queen will definitely come. Besides Imperial Consort Yun and Consort De, there are no other concubines in the harem. On the other hand, most of the princes and princesses came here. " Xiao Yang moved closer to Duan Yunfei's side, and carefully told her about what he had found out.

The latter remained calm and nodded to show she understood.

This family banquet was set up for the pepper house where the Queen sat. When Duan Yunfei arrived, Yuwen Di's voice still sounded from inside.

Just as he walked through the hall's door, there were people who noticed Duan Yunfei.

Because of the family dinner, unlike the banquets that were used to entertain officials, there would be eunuchs reporting their names to them one by one at the door. Thus, Duan Yunfei had actually entered without making a sound. However, she was the main character of this feast, so the moment she appeared, someone saw her.

"Father, Thirteen has come." The person who spoke was dressed in a light blue robe like Duan Yunfei, with his belt tied loosely, looking like a silkpants.

Yuwen Di looked at him with a helpless expression. It was obvious that with regards to the man's outfit today, Yuwen Di did not know how to teach him a lesson.

Duan Yunfei looked towards the direction of the voice, and with a smile on her face, she lightly raised her heroic eyebrows, "Tenth Brother, looking at your current state, I think royal father has already spoken about you."

Seeing that, Yuwen Di also spoke up: "My brother, you are not listening to my advice, it's good that you do not listen to my words, today is a family feast, if your Growing Age Ceremony is still acting like this tomorrow, I will throw him over there and lock him up for a few years, to see if he is still acting sloppy!"

Yuwen Di's words seemed to be said angrily, but a smile could still be seen on that middle-aged man's somewhat handsome face.

The Tenth Prince, Duan Changge, also did not mind and rolled his eyes in front of Yuwen Di, "Royal father, I don't know how many times you have said these words to me, but I haven't seen you really send me to the border."

"Tenth Brother, since you said it like that, then I'll help father agree. Tomorrow morning, you can go to the border pass." It just happens to be able to make it before the snow closes the road. What do you think? " Duan Yunfei sat down on the empty seat to the right of Yuwen Di and glanced sideways at the Tenth Prince.

Seeing that, Yuwen Di did not get involved, and looked at Duan Yunfei lovingly.

Duan Changge shrugged, "Ah, Thirteen, is this right? Fortunately, I've prepared a huge gift for you tomorrow. "

"Oh?" Duan Yunfei knew his royal brother's temperament. If he said that it was a huge gift, then it must be a huge gift. Moreover, because of her straightforward character, the Tenth Prince had gotten to know quite a few talented people in the public. It was likely that this gift would be different.

"Since royal brother has already said so, then let's just leave a day later. When you give me your gift, if I find it pleasing, I will beg royal father's forgiveness so that you don't have to go to that border. Right? royal father. " Duan Yunfei said that she wanted to bring Yuwen Di along, and in the end, she even mischievously glanced at Yuwen Di to seek his approval.

Yuwen Di watched the good show with a smile plastered all over his face. Hearing Duan Yunfei's question, he also nodded his head and agreed.

Duan Changge's eyes drooped down, and he looked a little dejected. "With royal father supporting you, I wouldn't dare to offend you. My dear royal sister, please don't let me go to any border trial, I think it's better to stay in the capital!"

Seeing Duan Changge like this, Duan Yunfei couldn't help but laugh.

The crown prince's daughter, who had just watched a good show, also laughed. The atmosphere was very good right now.

Imperial Consort Yun was sitting on the second seat on the left of Yuwen Di and beside her. Looking at this scene, although she was smiling on the surface, her eyes were extremely gloomy.

As for the Queen who was sitting on the first seat on Yuwen Di's left, he was currently outside the kitchen urging on the dishes.

"Empress, there's too much oil smoke here. Come out and stand." The empress's personal palace maid, Qiushui, stood by the empress's side, looking worriedly at the empress who used an embroidered handkerchief to cover her nose.

The empress's name was Murong Xin, and the Murong Family was known for being virtuous and virtuous. They had supported the emperor from the very beginning when the Jin Country was still in court. However, she didn't know why, but she felt like she was on the decline. As a member of the Mu Rong family, she naturally had her own eyes on it.

"Cough cough, I'm fine. Since Your Majesty has handed such an important matter to me, I naturally have to do it myself. How much time do you have left? " the empress turned her head and took a deep breath.

Qiu Shui glanced at the sky. "Empress, there should still be less than half an incense stick worth of time. Just now, Qiu Yue came over and said that most of the people had already arrived, even His Majesty."

The empress was stunned for a moment before she spoke to a eunuch at the door, "Eunuch Tao, if the dishes are ready, you can order some of the dishes to follow me back."

Eunuch Tao naturally heard the words of Qiushui just now. He saw that the empress's expression was a little unsightly and felt a little helpless. He nodded his head and called for a few people from the imperial kitchens before rushing over with some dishes.
