C252 Dining

The next few people who came in were all dressed up elegantly as well. It was just that this was their first time meeting, so I couldn't tell who was who.

However, the emperor's luck with women really wasn't shallow. Although this huge harem only had four of these concubines, they were all upper-level beauties. Just looking at them made him feel pleased.

After they had all taken their seats, the eunuch outside continued to shout, "We shall meet the envoy of the Baili Country."

With that, everyone turned to look outside at the same time.

The two people who came in were a woman and a man. Both of them were dressed extravagantly. The servant girl following behind that woman was the one who glared at me in the carriage that day …

Then, the beauty in front of her was Baili Ningxiang. She was truly not bad, with her small face, phoenix eyes, and slender body, as well as her skirt that fell all the way to the ground. With every step, her skirt would sway.

However, Baili Ningxiang's gaze was not as friendly as before, it was as though she was looking down from above, and her gaze landed on everyone.

I noticed that when she saw the donation, she looked at it for a while longer and was very serious. I recalled the rumours that she had chased away all the pretty maids in the palace, but I didn't know if it was true or not.

However, the gaze in her eyes when she looked at these Miss Venerable s was truly unfriendly. Some of the weaker ones even saw Baili Ningxiang looking at them and started to tremble.

When Baili Ningxiang's gaze fell on Sun Rouer, the hostility on her body was emitted. After all, she was the number one beauty and the most talented girl. If she was really as jealous as she was rumored to be, then it was certain that she would target Sun Rouer.

He heard that the last time he went to palace feast, it was Sun Rouer who had defeated Baili Ningxiang and obtained the title of number one talented girl. For this reason, Baili Ningxiang returned back to her country and punished his teacher, then chased him out of the palace.

Sun Rouer also looked straight at Baili Ningxiang without fear. This made Baili Ningxiang very happy, and seeing her so angry that her face had turned green, she wanted to immediately go up and slap her.

Fortunately the man beside Baili Ningxiang touched Baili Ningxiang, causing him to look away and return to normal.

I couldn't help but look at the man.

This man had a delicate and pretty appearance. He looked very gentle, but somehow felt somewhat familiar. It was as if he had seen him somewhere before.

I was wondering where I'd seen him before when he looked in our direction and smiled.

There is such a person in this world. If you look at him like this, you wouldn't be that breathtaking, but when he smiles, you'll definitely be the most beautiful person in the world.

I felt the corner of my mouth rise involuntarily.

"How is it, my good brother, isn't it very good?" When I was still immersed in his smile, Qi Mo behind me whispered.

I didn't say anything but turned my head. He was perplexed.

"No way. You've met her before anyways, you won't forget." The entrance of the Heavenly King's Manor. " Qi Mo helped me recall.

I suddenly realized why I felt that it was a little familiar. It was because they had met each other before.

The two of them walked in front of the emperor and respectfully bowed to show their respect.

"Baili Ningxiang greets the Xia Rong Country Emperor. May the Emperor be in good health and have good fortune." Baili Ningxiang bowed and offered her blessings.

The Emperor nodded.

The man beside Baili Ningxiang also bowed, "Baili Wuji represents the Baili Country to present to the Emperor the 'Tian Yu Ru' team, the friendship between the two countries can last for a long time, it can last forever."

So his name was Baili Wuji. I underestimated him, "Prince Baili is being too courteous, please take a seat." The Emperor smiled and greeted him.

Crown Prince, this person is still the Crown Prince. I looked curiously at the back of the person and followed him.

"Chen Yangguo's messenger has arrived."

Everyone shifted their gazes from Baili Ningxiang and Baili Wuji.

Chen Yangguo's messenger was led by two men. The two of them looked young, so they might not be too different from the Emperor.

"Chen Yangguo offers two of the Hundred Year Old Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotuses as a gesture of friendship."

"This is weird. We don't want to give away our country's specialty. We want to give a Tianshan Snow Lotus. Isn't that something that only exists in cold weather?" I don't understand.

"It's not like you're being polite, why are you still being so picky?" Qi Mo had a helpless look on his face.

The messenger from Xuanyin Country was the last to enter, but there was nothing much to see.

After everyone had taken their seats, I cast a questioning gaze at Bai Jing.

I made an agreement with Bai Jing. When the dishes can be served, he will exchange a look with me so that I won't make a mistake.

Bai Jing looked at me and nodded slightly, then I hurriedly turned around and left. I had already prepared the dishes that were to be served long ago, and from the production to the setting up of the plates, I got Cui Zhu and Xia Shui to keep an eye on them.

"How is it?" I asked Xia Shui.

"Miss, don't worry, we will always be keeping an eye on them, we won't let anyone do anything to them," Xia Shui whispered to me.

"Alright, it's time. Everyone, follow me." I clapped my hands and instructed the maids in the kitchen.

After everyone received their orders, they immediately picked up their plates and looked at me obediently.

"Go. Remember, do not make any mistakes. You are now representing the entire Xia Rong Country." I said again, still worried.

I led the group to the imperial garden. I was the first to arrive at the emperor's side to serve him food.

When I bent down to serve, the emperor smiled at me and said in a voice that only the two of us could hear, "Well done."

"Of course." I returned in a low voice. After serving the dishes, I blinked once more, and the corner of the emperor's mouth curled up into a smile.

After the emperor's dishes were served, her palace maids began to serve the dishes to the officials.

I walked up to Bai Jing, and the servant girl carefully placed the tableware in front of Bai Jing.

"Well, not bad, right?" I raised my eyebrows.

"Not bad." Bai Jing said indifferently.

I glared at him, accusing him. Bai Jing met my gaze and couldn't help but laugh.

"The dishes today are quite fresh. I wonder if Your Highness can explain it to us."

As I silently retreated to the side, Baili Ningxiang was no longer able to sit still, and started to look for trouble.

"There will be someone specially to introduce the dishes to everyone later, Baili Princess need not be anxious." I smiled and replied, I can't afford to be careless.

"But what I want more is for Your Highness to personally introduce him to me," Baili Ningxiang refused to forgive.

"I wonder why Baili Princess wants me to do this?"

"When I heard that the Princess of Rong is clever and that she was also someone who could speak, I felt that the princess's words might be better than the others'." Baili Ningxiang pressed on.
