Chapter 29 - Grand Princess of the Lord's Heart, let's wait and see
What the hell was that?
Hong Zhong realised that not only had she offended the Emperor, the Regent, she even offended Grand Princess, who didn't have any impression of her. After thinking for a while, she waved her hand at Xiao Gongnv and said, "Forget it, I will let today's matter rest on my shoulders. All of you can leave."
"Thank you for your kindness, Miss!" Trembling, the few palace maids stood up and walked out of the room.
Seeing that Xiao Gongnv had filed out of the room, Qingya's eyes finally turned deep, and her tone contained an uncontrollable rage. "Miss, this must have been done by Grand Princess. Let's go find Second Young Master and ask him to help us ask for an explanation. "
"Didn't that girl just say she was here before …" Before she could finish her words, she was intercepted by Hong Zhong: "Yes, that palace maid said that Grand Princess came here before, but she was merely here to see Grand Princess." They did not say that this matter must have been done by the Grand Princess!
This time, Qingya was silent. Even though she was only a servant of the General's Estate, she did know a bit under the influence of the Young Master and Young Miss. "In the absence of human evidence, it is difficult to convict." So what do we do? Is that all? "
Hong Zhong fiddled with the precious ring on her finger: "That poisonous snake's attack is extremely strong, it can be seen that it was stimulated earlier, it seems that this Grand Princess is really determined to take my life." Just that, she had just returned back to the Shengjing City yesterday and did not know who the Grand Princess was. Why would she look for trouble with him?
After listening, Qing Ya was still unwilling. "Miss, are we really just going to let it go like this?" Her young mistress had always been favored by the Master like a precious treasure. She had only been back to the capital for a day and she had already encountered such a thing twice. If she didn't say anything, then who knew how many more such things would happen in the future.
Hong Zhong glanced at her elegantly, and picked up the piece of "Gold Medal for Free from Death" on the table. Her red lips curled up, and revealed an unknown smile: "Do I look like the kind of person who will just let things go?" Grand Princess, right? We'll see.
Today's main banquet was placed in Yanqing Hall.
Other than the emperor and empress dowager, there were also a few high ranked officials in the imperial court who were invited to accompany the red war. As for Hong Zhong, the empress dowager kindly invited some high ranked officials to accompany her.
The banquet was held in pairs. Dozens of large rosewood tables were placed on both sides of the hall. The seats of the group were arranged accordingly. Below them were two expensive rosewood tables. One of them was given to the most respected woman in the entire Southern Qi — — the Esteemed Empress Dowager, and the other was the Regent. The protagonist of today's banquet was the one sitting under the empress dowager, the one closest to the royal family.
As he did not get enough rest from last night's torment, Hong Zhong was very tired at the moment. There were many people coming and going, but the empty Dragon Throne above and the empty tables below showed that no one had arrived yet. When the sleepiness struck, Hong Zhong supported himself with one hand as he blew out the blissful, sleepy bubbles.
Baili Yi Chen and Baili Mingyue, who were discussing matters of politics with the numerous first rank officials in the Dragon Lake Palace, immediately brought the crowd to the Yanqing Hall after the assembly. The two uncles and nephew were at the very front of the group.
A man dressed in a moon-white brocade robe. He had a noble aura and was unmatched in his generation.
Step by step, he slowly walked over, and the bodyguard that accompanied him seemed to become illusory the instant he appeared. The entire world seemed to become void except for a pure white color, a noble and cold aura, which no one dared to blaspheme.
A person wearing a dragon robe, a jade tree with a wind in it, and a domineering aura.
The bright yellow dragon robe showed the noble status of its master, and the noble air in its movements seemed to be innate. With a slight crease of its brows, it carried a domineering aura that belonged solely to an emperor, making people lower their heads, not daring to look it in the eye.
These two were the spirits of the Southern Qi, and were even more so the spirits of the Southern Qi women.
All along the way, Baili Yi Chen had been silently calculating in his heart. Last night, he had sent over ten shadows to fetch Si Nvren's head, and they had actually all returned empty-handed. But today, Southern Qi Baili Ziyan came over and cried to him, saying that the woman was tyrannical in the palace. Not only did she beat up her palace maids, she even relied on her Gold Medal for Free from Death's arrogance.
Although he did not have any good impressions towards her own Royal Sister, humiliating him was after all a slap on the face of the royal family. He must teach that Si Nvren a lesson and repay yesterday's interest.
With this thought, they quickly arrived at the entrance of the Yanqing Hall.
The eunuch outside the door announced in a loud voice, "The emperor has arrived. The regent has arrived."
The originally lively Yanqing Hall instantly quieted down. Everyone stood up and respectfully bowed towards the door, waiting for the noble emperor and the god-like Regent to appear. They bowed and said, "This subject greets Your Majesty.
"This subject (maidservant) pays respects to the Regent, the Regent, who has lived for thousands of years."
"Everyone, please rise." Baili Yi Chen stepped through the main door of the Yanqing Great Hall with his hands behind his back. After he coldly said those words, his sharp eyes began to search his surroundings. Where did that damnable woman go?
The magnificent and peerless His Majesty the Regent walked through the great hall at a moderate pace, as if he could not feel the admiration or adoration of the crowd. In the end, he sat down in his own seat.
The red battle behind Baili Yi Chen also frowned. His gaze swept across everyone as he searched for his younger sister, who was especially capable of causing trouble.
Finally, both of their gazes landed on the third table. Behind the tall fruits, there was a certain someone blissfully blowing a sleepy bubble.
Baili Yi Chen's face darkened. This Si Nvren, did she know that ever since last night, he had been so angry that he couldn't sleep because of her? He fell asleep!
Everything was quiet. Following the gazes of the two, Baili Mingyue naturally saw the sleeping Hong Zhong in the corner as well. The thin lips on her beautiful face curled up slightly, causing dazzling ripples on it.
Baili Yi Chen took a deep breath, trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart. He unwillingly looked at the Si Nvren who had slept soundly all night, wishing that he could tear her apart!
But very quickly, they saw Baili Yi Chen and Baili Mingyue bringing all the ministers in, and it was too late to wake them up again. Thus, they could only bow their heads and silently pray in their hearts. Young miss had always had sharp hearing, so it would be best if she could wake up to the sound of three shouts and ten thousand years old.
