The powerful princess arrives with a space warehouse

Chapter 836 The Palace Banquet Begins

"Thank you, His Majesty!" Tuoba Zhu bowed to the emperor to express his gratitude, then glanced at Chu Chenjing shyly before slowly walking towards the seats arranged for them by the Western Chu Kingdom.

The emperor glanced at the Danyan Kingdom's envoys, frowned slightly, and asked, "Lord Qin, it was snowing heavily along the way. I wonder if your Crown Prince has returned to Danyan Kingdom safely?"

Envoy Qin Zhiming stood up and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, with the speed of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if there are no accidents, he should have returned home safely."

The emperor was stunned for a moment, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it, a hearty smile appeared on his face, and he said: "Good! Good! I hope your son returns safely to Danyan Kingdom." He waved his hand gently, motioning Qin Zhiming to sit down.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." Qin Zhiming bowed slightly and sat down.

The emperor added: "Then you can welcome the New Year with us as much as you want. You don't have to be restrained."

Several ministers of the delegation said in unison: "Thank you, Emperor Chu!"

The ministers of the delegation felt quite embarrassed sitting here.

They had already arrived at Hejian Town. Why didn't they just wait there until the snow stopped? Why did the princess return to Kyoto when she was fine?

At this time, Qin Zhiming, who was sitting there, was immersed in his own thoughts. When they came out of Hejian Town, they found that the snow on the official road had been cleared to make a path suitable for carriages, and the officers and soldiers were still clearing the snow.

They were amazed at the speed of the officers and soldiers of Western Chu State. They cleared the snow in such a short time even though the heavy snow had not stopped yet. After returning, they would report the matter to their emperor.

When they saw that the road was drivable, they excitedly went to inform Princess Tuoba Zhu, and asked her to turn around and return to Danyan Kingdom.

At that time, Tuoba Zhu was in the carriage, directing them to head towards Kyoto. When she heard that they wanted her to turn around, she rolled her eyes at the two leading ministers of the delegation.

She raged at them and said, "If you want to go back to Danyan, get out of here right away. I'm going to Kyoto."

He and Lord Wei then went to find Hua Qianrou, hoping that she could persuade Princess Tuoba Zhu to continue staying in Hejian Town.

Their original intention was to ask her to give the princess some medicine so that she would continue to sleep and follow them back to Danyan Kingdom.

However, to their surprise, Hua Qianrou also agreed that the princess should return to Kyoto, which made the envoys very confused.

After some discussion among the envoys, they had no choice but to follow the princess back to Kyoto.

They knew very well that if the delegation left the Fourth Princess behind and returned to Danyan alone, they would not be able to explain to the Emperor. If something happened to the Princess in Western Chu, their lives would also be in danger.

However, what they never expected was that the Fourth Princess Tuoba Zhu not only rushed to Kyoto on New Year's Day, but also asked them to make a request to the Western Chu Kingdom - to participate in the Western Chu Kingdom's New Year's palace banquet.

At this moment, they were sitting in the main hall, being stared at by the ministers of Western Chu State across from them, feeling very uncomfortable.

At this moment, he saw Princess Tuoba Zhu who had already sat down. There was greed in her eyes as she stared closely at Chu Chenjing, the Prince of Jing of Western Chu.

At this time, he knew why the fourth princess suddenly wanted to return to Kyoto. It turned out that she was still unwilling to give up on Prince Jing.

He shook his head, exchanged glances with Lord Wei, and thought to himself: Fourth Princess! This is not our Danyan Kingdom. The Emperor will give you whatever you want.

This is the Western Chu Kingdom! When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was here, you proposed to marry Prince Jing, but the Western Chu Kingdom refused without giving His Royal Highness the Crown Prince face. Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not here, aren't you, a princess, asking for humiliation? What should I do?

Ouyang Yunyao was unaware of the embarrassment of the Danyan Kingdom envoys across the street. She sat next to Chu Chenjing and saw Tuoba Zhu looking at Chu Chenjing with a determined look. She raised her eyebrows and said to Chu Chenjing with a smile, "Look, another peach blossom of yours."

Chu Chenjing lowered his head, held her little hand, and whispered in her ear: "Yaoyao, don't care about this kind of person, he has no shame."

"Okay, I find it strange, how did her body get better? Did my pain-relief powder not work?"

"Yaoyao, think about it! Didn't you send that Hua guy to them? Could it be that Hua guy cured her?"

"Well, that's possible," Ouyang Yunyao nodded and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, we'll know after the party."

"There's nothing to worry about." Ouyang Yunyao said, glancing around the hall.

I noticed that the unmarried ladies present all had different expressions.

Many young ladies had blushing faces and looked at the person they loved with affection.

She found that many young ladies not only stared at the unmarried princes, but also looked at their own princes, and looked at her with jealous eyes. Ouyang Yunyao could understand this, because Chu Chenjing had no concubines around him, so it didn't matter if they had this thought.

But she also discovered that several young ladies were staring at Crown Prince Chu Chenxiao, and their eyes were shining as if they were planning something.

Ouyang Yunyao sighed deeply in her heart. Alas, people are so realistic. When there were rumors that the prince was poisoned and was about to die, those so-called noble ladies stayed away from him.

The poison in the prince's body has been cured, and he is well again. Now he wishes he was the crown princess. She didn't know what the queen mother was thinking about this, and she couldn't say.

She was daydreaming when Chu Chenjing whispered lovingly in her ear, "Yaoyao, why are you so distracted? What are you thinking about?"

"Look, those little girls are trying to get me, and I will..."

"Yaoyao, it's impossible for my brother, and it's even more impossible for your husband."

The two were laughing and talking quietly.

Tuoba Zhu, who was standing diagonally opposite, watched this scene and wished he could rush over to drive Ouyang Yunyao away from Chu Chenjing.

The ministers of Western Chu were also staring at the Danyan delegation. Hadn't the Danyan people been away for several days? Why were they here again?

The Minister of Rites Chen Deyi was whispering the reason to several ministers around him.

There were a few girls in the distance who were looking at the way Chu Chenjing treated Ouyang Yunyao with envy and jealousy in their eyes. Now seeing the look in the eyes of the Princess of Danyan Kingdom, they became even more alert. Why did this princess come to Kyoto again?

At this time, the emperor's voice rang out, "Tomorrow is New Year's Day. Today is our Western Chu Kingdom's New Year's banquet. Let's drink to our heart's content..." The emperor raised his wine glass and spoke majestically to the people below.

As the emperor finished speaking, the birthday banquet officially began.

The entire Chengqian Hall was bustling with activity. A group of dancers came to the center of the hall like flying swallows and began dancing gracefully, their colorful sleeves fluttering and the music playing melodiously.
