273 Opening
It was a graceful woman.
With a veil over her face, she walked in flirtatiously.
Before Ning Yue could ask, Jiang Ying whispered in her ear, “That person is an envoy from the Black City Kingdom, Princess Lotus.”
“Princess Lotus has arrived!” Suddenly, a sharp voice interrupted everyone’s thoughts.
It was also this sentence that caused an uproar. Most of the men stared straight at Princess Lotus, while the women were jealous.
With a woman like Princess Lotus around, what else could they do?
One of the women in luxurious clothes gritted her teeth and said, “Didn’t they say that Princess Lotus was a fool? Why did they let a fool enter the palace?”
When Princess Lotus heard this, she was very displeased, but she could not flare up on the surface.
“I’m here on the emperor’s orders. Miss, are you dissatisfied with the emperor’s orders?”
The woman was shocked. Princess Lotus wasn’t stupid at all! Besides, she was also a princess! Why should she be stepped on by this Princess Lotus?
“Jiang Zhi, don’t talk nonsense! That’s the princess of the Black City Kingdom!” The Emperor of Great Yun said.
Ning Yue was enlightened. So the person who spoke was Princess Jiang Zhi!
It was said that this princess was very doted on by the emperor. She was almost spoiled to the point of being lawless.
“Father, I know my mistake!” Princess Jiang Zhi realized her rudeness and hurriedly lowered her head to admit her mistake.
“Apologize to Princess Lotus Flower!” the emperor said.
“Princess Lotus, I…”
Before Jiang Zhi could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Princess Lotus. “Princess Jiang Zhi didn’t mean it. The emperor is too serious. There’s no big problem. Don’t worry.”
After settling a small episode, everyone was brought into the inner hall.
The women all had their own seats. Ning Yue walked to her seat without looking sideways.
Ning Yue took a look. Sitting on her left was the crown prince consort. Sitting on her right was the daughter of a minister. That girl stared at the food without moving.
When Ning Yue noticed it, she asked quietly, “What’s your name? What are you looking at?”
“My name is Yu Jie. I saw that the things on the table are quite good-looking and delicious,” Yu Jie said.
She was quite frank. It seemed that she was a foodie!
This young lady was very cute and straightforward, unlike other young ladies who were secretly sizing others up. They seemed to have something in mind.
The young lady on the right was pure. She didn’t look at anything but food.
She had a round, pleasant face, very fair skin, and round eyes.
“You can eat it when everyone is here,” Ning Yue said.
“Is that so? You’re the heiress of Prince Jin, right? Do you know about Fortune Pavilion? The food in that restaurant is super delicious, but I don’t get to eat it often!” Yu Jie said and sighed. “I can’t go to Laifu Town often. It’s too far away. My father will be angry.”
Ning Yue smiled. How could she not know? She was the one who opened it!
“If you like it, I’ll treat you to it in the future,” Ning Yue said.
“Really?” Yu Jie almost drooled when she heard that.
“Of course!” Ning Yue said.
At this moment, a hoarse voice came from outside the door. “The Emperor and Princes of Black City have arrived!” They sat down one by one.
The emperor was in the middle. After him were the seats of the princes of the Black City and the Great Yun Nation.
In a seat designated for Russia was someone Ning Yue did not know. It was said that that person was the Prime Minister of Russia.
As Yuan Hui was not married and did not have children, it was not appropriate for him to appear personally. Therefore, the person who appeared in his place was the prime minister of Russia.
The empress sat on the emperor’s right, followed by the emperor’s concubines.
“Today is the annual pilgrimage. All the countries are gathered. Everyone, don’t be restrained. There will be a song and dance arrangement later. Everyone, have fun,” the emperor said.
What a kingly speech! Ning Yue praised him in her heart.
“Thank you for your concern, Emperor!” everyone shouted.
Next was the opening dance. The lead dancer was Princess Jiang Zhi.
Princess Jiang Zhi’s waist was slender and soft. Her dance skills were second in the Great Yun Nation, and no one dared to be first. There was a mole under her right eye, making her look charming.
After Ning Yue saw this, she was also impressed. As a woman, she could use force, but not dance.
