The sudden appearance of Prince Yu, who had never participated in the banquet, made the women feel uneasy. The men were puzzled, but the princes smiled tacitly. The woman who was on good terms with the crown princess said, “I wonder why Prince Yu is here.”
The crown princess naturally knew the reason. She smiled and said, “Prince Yu has been alone for so many years. It’s time to find someone to serve him.”
As soon as she said that, the women were all shocked. Could it be that Prince Yu was going to choose a princess consort? However, becoming Prince Yu’s princess consort was not a good thing. At this moment, the girls couldn’t help but tremble.
“May I ask, Crown Princess,” The madam asked with a smile, “May I know which miss is blessed with such a chance?”
The crown princess refused to say anything. She just shook her head and smiled. “We’ll know later.”
Because of the Crown Princess Consort’s words, the women fell into silence. Everyone was a little afraid. The title of Princess Consort Yu was like a death warrant. Whoever was chosen would just die faster. It was not a good thing…
Feng Anning leaned closer to Shen Miao and asked, “Guess who Princess Consort Yu will be?”
Shen Miao said, “No clue.”
“You’re so boring.” Feng Anning pursed her lips.
On the other side, Shen Qing was clutching the corner of her shirt tightly. The moment she saw Prince Yu, her mind was filled with the torture that Prince Yu had done to her that night. If not for Ren Wanyun holding her tightly, Shen Qing would probably scream.
“Don’t be afraid, Qing.” Ren Wanyun leaned close to Shen Qing’s ear and said in a volume that only the two of them could hear, “Prince Yu came today to help you deal with that bitch. When she marries Prince Yu mansion, he will naturally have ways to kill her…”
On the side, Chen Ruoqiu looked at Ren Wanyun and Shen Qing and took a sip of tea.
People thought that everyone except the empress had arrived. Suddenly, They heard cries of surprise. Feng Anning was talking to Shen Miao when she heard the commotion.
In the depths of the palace, outside the door of the hall, a person walked over from afar. He was dressed in a purple-gold robe and black shoes. His eyes were bright and handsome, and his footsteps were neither fast nor slow.
Xie Ding, the Marquis of Lin’an, shouted in surprise, “Jingxing!” Then as if having thought of something, he frowned and remained silent.
Everyone was surprised. What was going on today? Not only did Prince Yu, who never attended royal banquets, but now even the Young Marquis of the Xie family, Xie Jingxing, was here.
The women were more excited and infatuated with Xie Jingxing than with Fu Xiuyi.
The young man’s figure was straight. Although he looked like he was walking leisurely, his every step was oppressive. He had an extremely striking appearance to begin with. Under the contrast of the purple-gold robe, he actually gave off a faint feeling that he could not be looked at directly. His face was like snow, and his eyes were as black as ink. His eyebrows were like swords, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. He was like a red plum blooming in the snow, having a color that was as beautiful as peach blossoms. The officials present became just the background that accentuated his importance. It was no exaggeration to say that he looked like the real owner of this palace.
He was so handsome that the world lost its color.
This young man, who was as dazzling as the sun, had a cold and sharp gaze. Looking at his cynical smile carefully, it was filled with coldness and cruelty.
