Xi Lingxue was neither the son of an official nor had an official position, so she could only sit as far away from the emperor as possible. Lu Chen and Xue Lin also sat next to her to consider her feelings.

Xi Lingxue looked at the ten-year-old boy next to the eldest prince. He should be her biological brother, Wei Han.

He was wearing a gorgeous silk robe, a jade pendant hanging around his waist, and a white jade crown inlaid with pearls, all of which revealed the prince's noble temperament.

"Brother, who is the person sitting next to the eldest prince?"

"The one wearing the navy blue brocade robe is the third prince, Wei Hao."

"Next to the Third Prince is the Sixth Prince Wei Han. He is intelligent and clever, the son of the Concubine Chen, and is very much favored by the Emperor."

"He's so handsome and lovable."

"If you like him, I'll introduce him to you later."

"Have chance!"

"it is good."

Soon the emperor came to the hall with his concubines.

"The Emperor has arrived, Concubine Qi has arrived, Concubine Chen has arrived, Concubine De has arrived, Concubine Yu has arrived, and Concubine Xian has arrived."

Everyone knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long, long live the Emperor."

"My queen, may you live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand thousand years."

"Everyone, please stand up. Today is the Concubine Chen's birthday. There is no need to be restrained. Just eat and drink."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The ministers hurriedly presented their gifts and blessings. Lu Chen and Xue Lin were given gifts by their parents, and they just had to attend the banquet.

Many people were busy sending gifts to congratulate Concubine Chen. "Sister, what gift are you going to give Concubine Chen?"

"It's a special gift, but I don't know if she can understand its meaning."

"Can you show me what gift it is? I'm very curious."

"It would only be meaningful if the concubine opened the gift herself."

"All right!"

After everyone had given their gifts, the palace maids served delicious dishes.

Xi Lingxue calmly came to the center of the hall with the brocade box, and everyone guessed what gift she was giving.

"I, Ye Ling'er, congratulate Her Majesty the Concubine on her birthday. I just came down from the mountain and don't have any valuable gifts for Her Majesty the Concubine. I hope Her Majesty will not despise my humble gift."

The palace maid beside Concubine Chen hurriedly took the brocade box with both hands.

Concubine Chen, looking at Xi Lingxue's unruly appearance, did not feel disgusted. Instead, she felt a sense of familiarity from her eyes and eyebrows, and was stunned for a few seconds.

"Thank you for the gift, Miss Ye. I am very happy that you have this heart. The emperor has mentioned you many times in front of me, saying that you are extremely intelligent, talented in both civil and military affairs, kind-hearted, and chivalrous."

"I have wanted to see you for a long time. I sent someone to your house to pass on a message, but you were away on a long trip. Please come to me often in the future. I will have someone cook your favorite food."

"Thank you, Empress Chen."

Xi Lingxue walked towards her seat, and the emperor hurriedly called her.

"Miss Ye, please sit next to Concubine Chen."

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely forbidden. How can a commoner sit next to the Empress Chen?"

"It's okay. Both I and Concubine Chen like you."

The eunuch hurriedly went to buy a table. Xiling became a special person. A commoner with no rank or official position, he sat next to the Concubine Chen. This was an honor that the Wei Dynasty had never had in decades.

The more Xi Lingxue came to know Chen Fei, the more she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity and intimacy, which made her want to get closer to this girl.

"Miss Ye, eat whatever you like. Don't be restrained."

"Thank you, Empress Chen."

"Dongmei, fill Miss Ye's cup with fruit tea."

"Yes."

Everyone in the banquet hall was looking at Xi Lingxue. How could she deserve such an honor?

The banquet hall was filled with fragrance, and all kinds of delicious dishes were placed on the tables, which made people's appetite increase.

It was the first time for Xi Lingxue to attend such a banquet, and as a foodie, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva.

Concubine Chen looked at Xi Lingxue and smiled, "Dongmei, go serve Miss Ye some food."

"Yes."

The next scene is that Dongmei keeps feeding Xilingxue with dishes, and she just needs to concentrate on eating. The emperor and the concubine see her eating so happily and their appetites increase greatly.

Dongmei is the head maid in Chenfei Palace. Now instead of serving Chenfei, she serves Xi Lingxue for meals, which makes everyone stunned.

They thought to themselves: How could Dongmei feel so at ease while serving Ye Ling'er meals?

Even the eldest prince and Lu Chen were curious about why the emperor and the concubine were so good to their sister.

Sitting down to eat, Wei Han was also very curious about why his father and mother were so nice to a stranger. However, he did not hate Xi Lingxue. Instead, he thought she was very beautiful.

Imperial Envoy Wang knew that the Emperor wanted to keep Xi Lingxue in Wei to serve him, so he was so kind to her.

What he didn't know was that the emperor had felt inexplicably close to Xi Lingxue since the first time he met her.

Everyone looked at the emperor and the concubine's attitude towards Xi Lingxue, and they also changed their attitude towards Xi Lingxue.

Seeing how good the emperor was to Xi Lingxue, the Fourth Princess became even more vicious towards her.

Mumbling to herself: "Since you appeared, my life has changed dramatically. Even my father loves you. What means did you use to deceive my father? Sooner or later, I will make you live a life worse than death."

While everyone was enjoying the food, beautiful music sounded in the hall.

The dancers walked slowly into the hall with graceful and agile postures. Each movement was full of poetry, as light as a flying swallow and like a dancing fairy, intoxicating everyone.

The entire banquet was filled with exquisite arrangements and presentations every minute and every second. Both the decorations and the food made people linger.

The joyful sounds in the hall were like this painting, and the crowd was all in this painting, creating a wonderful scene.

The delicious food and graceful dance flow with dazzling rays of light, making people spend the day in laughter and joy.

It can be seen that the emperor has put a lot of thought into Concubine Chen.
