1032 Chapter 1032 "One Table"

The guests had never attended such a banquet using a tall round table and chair meant to be at the garden. Usually, they would sit on the floor covered with a pillow and the table would be low yet long. This time the emperor really surprised them again. 

No one knew that this arrangement was similar to the modern table arrangement in Li Shi Ying's worked. Every formal party would surely have this kind of table and chair. 

"This statue is cute" one of the middle-aged saw the statue holding wine jar when he passed by and couldn't help but praise the emperor again. To think of serving wine using this way, very creative! 

In most banquets, wine or alcohol would be served by the maidservants but tonight they had to get the wine themselves using such a unique statue. This is new! 

The older men noticed the statue and they began to gather around the statue holding glass they suddenly brought from their table. One by one put their glass under the wine jar of the statue to get the wine. 

This scene was seen by Li Shi Ying just because the girl arrived at the table served for the royal family. Seeing the lively guests similar to how people partied in her old world made Li Shi Ying a bit less nervous. She couldn't help but giggle seeing it. 

How nostalgic. She didn't think she would witness a similar scene at a banquet in this ancient era. She had to thank the emperor for this. 

"Ying'er, hurry, sit here," Long Ao Zhen noticed Li Shi Ying gaze was somewhere else. The man nudged the girl and after the girl turned around, he pulls a chair covered with golden cloth as he asked Li Shi Ying to sit. 

At the table, the royal family all had gathered except for Li Shi Ying and Long Ao Zhen. All of them were looking at her with a smile on their face. This made Li Shi Ying snapped back to reality. 

Right, she had to greet them and then sit! 

"Thanks" Li Shi Ying thanked Long Ao Zhen as she threw a smile toward the people around her. The girl nodded her head politely before she sat down as a way to greet the royals.

The girl quietly scanned her surroundings and realized that her seat was coincidentally right across the emperor's seat. From this distance, she could saw the emperor's face clearly along with the empress who sat next to him. 

Li Shi Ying threw her gaze toward the seat on the emperor's right side and saw that Long Ao Zhen's grandfather was sitting there. The old man saw her and waved silently. 

Li Shi Ying also secretly waved not wanting the emperor to fuss over this. Okay, let's see who sit next to that grandpa...

Next...huh? 

Li Shi Ying paused for a bit. There was an unknown middle-aged man sitting there, right side to side with grandpa. 

Who is this man? He looked strict and a bit scary…

This was her first time seeing the first prince. He really looked like a hero like what people described him. 

Hmmm, let's see...the one sitting next to Ji Sharen was Long Ao Zhen and then her. Wait but there was an empty seat right next to her, just right next to the empress' seat too. 

Li Shi Ying couldn't help but wonder who would sit here. There should be 8 chairs but somehow only 7 people were present, 1 person was missing.

Is there a hidden family member she didn't know? Who is it? 

Li Shi Ying had just about to ask Long Ao Zhen who should sit next to her when the emperor suddenly asked her out of the blue. "How is the arrangement I made? Satisfied?"

The man wore his usual dragon robe giving off a dazzling vibe enough to make Li Shi Ying almost close her eyes out of reflex when she turned her gaze toward his direction. 

"Very satisfied. It's so beautiful!" Li Shi Ying flashes a sweet smile once again sending arrows toward everyone's heart. The empress giggled seeing Li Shi Ying innocent smile while the first prince, Ji Sharen's father had a blank face. 

He didn't know that his niece is so cute! No wonder these people doted on her very much including his own son. 

"Good, good. The food will be served shortly and there will also be a show for entertainment. I'm sure you will like it" The emperor laughed feeling proud of himself. The man was just about to talk more when the voice of a young girl disturbed him. 

"I'm sorry, I'm late." A familiar voice of a young girl rang next to Li Shi Ying's ear. She suddenly got goosebumps and couldn't help but turned around to see who is it would be sitting next to her. 

The moment Li Shi Ying turned her head, her eyes were welcomed by a soft pink hair fluttering in the wind along with the pink skirt also slightly fluttered showing the girl's white and long legs. 

...hm? This girl...

Li Shi Ying froze on the spot as the young girl who had just sat down also froze on the spot when her eyes met Li Shi Ying eyes. 

She's...Yan Fenghuang!
