At this time, the Crown Prince of Southern Chu, Liang Haojun, led a group of people into the palace and saluted the Emperor of Chu. "The Crown Prince of Southern Chu, Liang Haojun, along with the Second Prince, the Fourth Princess, the Fifth Princess, and the envoys, have come to see the Emperor, the Queen Mother, the Empress, and the Imperial Concubines."

"Your Majesty, we are here at the behest of my father to wish you a happy birthday and a long life! My father is even more willing to establish good relations with the Western Chu Kingdom. This time, we also hope to establish a marriage alliance with your country. To show our sincerity, we have brought along the fourth princess Liang Yishan and the fifth princess Liang Yiqiu."

Next to him stood a woman, wearing a light pink dress and a belt of the same color tied around her waist with many ornaments hanging on it. She was not tall, petite and slender, with a face as fair as goose fat and lips like cherry blossoms. Her eyebrows were just a little droopy, giving her a somewhat mean look. However, her dress concealed those shortcomings. She also had a bell bracelet on her hand, which made a ringing sound when she walked.

She bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am Liang Yishan, the fourth princess of the Southern Chu Kingdom. I came here in the hope of marrying your country and becoming one forever."

"Okay, that's thoughtful. Thank you, your father. Please sit down quickly." Emperor Chuxiong did not respond to the topic of marriage.

Some men present stared at the princess with their eyes wide open. Coupled with her gentle words, they all became eager to make a move, thinking that if they could have the good luck to marry such a princess, it would be a blessing from several lifetimes. However, many people were still sober, knowing that such a beautiful princess would never fall in love with them.

After the people of Southern Chu sat down, they didn't know what the Emperor of Western Chu was thinking.

In fact, everything the four princesses did was for Prince Jing to see. When the four princesses went down, they did not forget to turn around and shyly look at Chu Chenjing who was sitting in the front row.

Ouyang Yunyao recognized the fourth princess from the beginning. She was the arrogant princess who had been given some laughing powder by her. She muttered in her heart: Not simple, not simple, who is it? Who could have cured her drug in such a short time? It seems that there really is a master hidden on this continent. Ouyang Yunyao was overthinking. None of them could cure her drug. They just used some special methods.

Ouyang Yunyao glanced at Chu Chenjing and said teasingly, "Ah Jing, look, your followers have come here because of your reputation."

Chu Chenjing was afraid that Ouyang Yunyao would misunderstand, so he quickly held her little hand in his palm and said, "Yaoyao, you must believe me. I will not let any troublesome guy jump in front of you. I am yours, and you can only be mine."

"Okay, okay, I get it." Since he is so sincere to me, I will block those bad peach blossoms for you. This is a piece of cake for me.

Except for Nangong City, almost all birthday celebration delegations from other countries on the Yuzhou continent have arrived. This is the most complete gathering of envoys from various countries in the past five years. It is very lively and it can be seen that the King of Chu is in a good mood.

The emperor raised his glass and said, "Thank you envoys from all countries for coming to celebrate my mother's birthday. I hope you will have a good time in my Western Chu State. Let's drink to our heart's content at today's banquet..."

The banquet finally officially began, and the dishes were served one by one by the palace maids, all of which were delicacies from the mountains and the sea. Then the singing girls and dancers danced to the music, and the musicians played beautiful music.

Everyone enjoyed the singing, dancing and performances while slowly enjoying the food, and occasionally exchanged a few words with each other. Many of the young ladies in the palace seemed to have drunk some sweet-scented osmanthus wine, and with the help of the wine, they became bolder and looked directly at the princes of those countries.

Ouyang Yunyao couldn't care about much at this moment. The long series of procedures before the meal made her hungry. Now there were so many delicacies waiting for her, she had to eat heartily and have a good meal. Chu Chenjing watched Ouyang Yunyao stuffing food into her mouth like a little hamster, and thought his little princess was very cute. He just smiled softly and said, "Eat slowly, don't be in a hurry", and he would pick up dishes for her from time to time.

While eating, Ouyang Yunyao chatted with Chu Chenjing. This is a state banquet, it's really different! The food is refreshing and not greasy, leaving a long aftertaste, which is really to her taste!

When the queen saw the interaction between Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao, she finally felt relieved, "Your Majesty, look at Jing'er and Yao'er, this couple is very loving!" The queen smiled and served the emperor food and whispered.

The emperor looked over and said with a smile, "The marriage I granted is very good. It's rare that Jing'er cares about Yao'er."

Both the emperor and the empress felt very relieved.

The world is like this, some people like you, and naturally some people will hate you. Some people sneered at Ouyang Yunyao's eating style, looking at her, this Princess Jing really came from a border town, just like the rumors, she didn't look like a lady from a rich family at all. But there were also many young ladies who envied her for being so free and easy, after all, they also wanted to eat their favorite food in this way, but due to the occasion and the rules, they could only endure it.

Today, the Princess of Southern Chu finally met Ouyang Yunyao, she was so beautiful! It seems that Prince Jing's attitude towards this princess is not as rumored? Is he pretending to be harmonious with his wife for everyone to see? But no matter what, she must marry Prince Jing. Ouyang Yunyao eats so much, is it because Prince Jing doesn't give her good food in the mansion? Thinking of this, the princess' eyes flashed with disdain. Prince Jing would marry her just for the sake of profit.

At this time, some people in the hall began to cheer. Ouyang Yunyao was also attracted by the cheers. She raised her head and looked over there. She didn't know when the music had stopped and the singers and dancers also retreated.

At this time, Feng Lina, wearing a green dance costume, stood in the center of the hall. "Empress Dowager, Lina has prepared a dance for you. I wish you a happy birthday, happiness as vast as the East Sea, and a long life as long as the Southern Mountains!"

"Okay, Princess Ningyang is thinking about me."

When the music started, Feng Lina started dancing to it.

Her graceful dancing posture swayed with the rhythm, her body was soft and elegant, causing all the men in the hall to be infatuated with her. But Feng Lina's eyes were just staring at Chu Chenjing obsessedly, not letting him go for a moment.

When Ouyang Yunyao saw this scene, she turned her head and glanced at Chu Chenjing. She saw that he was not watching the dance at all, but was concentrating on picking fish bones from her favorite fish. She squinted her eyes and said, "Ah Jing, Princess Ningyang prepared this dance specially for you. Her eyes are always on you, Brother Jing!" Ouyang Yunyao mischievously imitated Feng Lina's call, and this call gave her goose bumps.
