Hua Yufei had a backing of Dugu Ye. It was not impossible for her to attend such a palace banquet.

Du Qiao said, "It is the Lady Chuchu who is kept beside you madams in your house. She is wearing a colorful dress made of light yarn. She is more pleasing to the eyes than any of you girls!"

As she spoke, she raised her head again, searching around for a moment.

Then he continued, "You can't tell that she is someone who has been adopted by your old lady and is only a servant in your house! If I didn't know the truth, I would have been deceived by her. "

Hua Yuan was obviously more excited than ever and asked, "Ah Qiao, are you sure about this? Are you sure it was her? "Is it Chuchu?"

Ducho nodded. "How could he possibly admit it wrong? I looked at it several times to make sure. And then she found me looking at her and she said hello to me. "

Hua Yuan was even more astonished. She really did not know what Chuchu was planning to do in order to enter the palace at this time.

When she was in the mansion, Hua Yuan had already felt that this Chuchu Chu was not simple. Even though it was adopted by the madame, she did not look like she was raised by the madame.

There were mysteries everywhere on Chuchu. She didn't pay attention to them in her previous life. Even if there was something wrong with her in this life, she wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

At this moment, Hua Yuan only knew that it was likely that the madame had sent Chuchu in. He wondered what kind of agreement the two of them had reached.

Du Qiao saw that Hua Yuan's expression was a bit odd and thought that she was still thinking about Chuchu's matter. She said, "Alright, Iris, stop thinking about Chuchu's matter. No matter what, she couldn't come up with any big tricks, could she? At most we can just go and find Mother. If it's really no good, then let Mother take care of her. "

Hua Yuan laughed. "Yes, I miss her."

As the two chatted, they sat down in a nearby seat. This time, many women came. There were some who disdained to participate, but they had no choice but to come because of the Empress Dowager's imperial edict. There were also some who hoped to be able to make a name for themselves in such a place, and then marry into such a good family.

There were also some who wanted to use this matter to spread their reputation, but it was all because of their vanity.

When Her Majesty came over, the place was already filled with people. Not long after, the Emperor came as well. This time, the person who came with the emperor was actually his concubine who had just entered the palace!

The concubine was wearing a peach palace dress. Judging from the dress, she knew that the concubine's outfit had already surpassed her own rank. This kind of headdress dress wasn't something that she, a mere imperial concubine, could wear.

However, Yun Xin dressed so casually that even the empress could not do anything to her.

The empress's heart was indeed in trouble. He used to like Yun Xin so much, but now he felt so disgusted and disgusted with her! When she thought about how she had wholeheartedly planned for her but didn't make her the candidate for the crown prince's consort as she had intended, she did something that went against the expectations of others. The empress also felt that she had pampered an ingrate who only knew how to think for her sake all these years!

Looking at the high ranking Princess Yun Xin, she was still living as arrogantly as ever.

However, as she glanced over at Hua Yuan, a flash of disgust appeared in her eyes. Hua Yuan couldn't help but shiver!

She even thought that perhaps she really was going to do something good to accumulate some virtue. Looking at how so many people looked down on her and wished that they could kill her, Hua Yuan was reflecting on herself. Was she not doing well enough?

"I believe everyone already knows the purpose for which the empress dowager summoned everyone here today."

There were no sounds coming from below, but the emperor was still speaking as he focused his attention on calming his breathing.

The Emperor continued, "To think that the people from that insignificant land would have such an attitude. It is not impossible for us Cangyue to form a great country and they can help us if they wish. However, he had used the wrong method! We can be merciful but not provocative. Our Cang Yue's good men are on the battlefield in front of us, burning their heads and bathing in blood. Now, our country has been provoked. This time, the matter of protecting the dignity of Cangyue Kingdom has fallen on you ladies. I know that it will be a bit difficult for you to make a public appearance like this. "It's just that I don't have any other way to deal with this."

Hua Yuan's eyebrows shot up. Since when did the emperor's words have such a standard?

It was simply unbelievable!

These words, no matter how one looked at it, seemed like someone had written out a script beforehand. However, these words were very flexible, and even she was eager to give it a try when she heard this.

Du Qiao sat beside Hua Yuan and said, "I really don't know who wrote this article. I just want to go up and rip off those people who don't know how high the heavens are!"

Hua Yuan smiled. From the looks of it, there were quite a few people who had the same opinion as her.

Soon after, the envoys from the small border countries came.

"His Majesty the Emperor is blessed."

"No need for formalities."

Soon after, they all took their seats.

Then, the leader of the group said, "Is the competition going to start now? I know that you all, Cang Yue, specialize in courtesy and modesty.

The emperor raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything that wouldn't allow it.

Even though he was extremely nervous, facing these envoys, no one could tell what he was thinking.

His bearing only gave off the impression that the Emperor was a man of his word.

The envoy started to get agitated.

That person clapped twice, and then a melodious tune of a zither could be heard, ringing in everyone's ears. No one had even seen the face of the person who played the zither before they had already fallen into the midst of the zither music.

Hua Yuan silently sighed in admiration. The sound of this zither was truly not bad. It seemed like the system had already learned it. No wonder they dared to take this as a comparison!

Following that, the beauties in green and pink dresses began to ascend the stage one after another, dancing to the music. What a feast of sight and hearing!

It was extremely enjoyable to hear it.

Hua Yuan and Du Qiao exchanged glances. Indeed, those who dared to speak so loudly were all people with some ability. Today, if he had so many noble women on his side, he wouldn't be able to beat them. That would truly be a great loss of face.

At the beginning, there were a few who were reluctant to leave, but now that they saw this situation, they started to express themselves.

He had originally thought that showing his face like this wasn't too bad, but now that he had been smacked in the face by someone else, what was wrong with that?

Not long after, the sound of the zither gradually weakened. One by one, the dancers left the stage. The stage was empty except for the music playing in the air.

Immediately after, the messenger stood up and said, "This is our lady, there are still places we are unfamiliar with. If you aren't playing it properly, please give us your instructions."

Although she said so, her arrogant tone made people's teeth ache.

Although the Emperor was still calm and collected, in his heart, he had long wished that he could cut this messenger from a small border country into eight pieces.

"Not bad indeed, good!"

At this moment, before anyone had come up to play, the Emperor was about to speak when he heard his concubine whisper something in his ear.

Xin Xin smiled coquettishly and said, "Uncle, Yun Xin used to have fun with Hua Xiang's Hua Yuan, too. Young Iris played the zither very well. Everyone knows that the Chinese are determined to serve the nation, but give the little Iris a chance? "
