Regent, the princess you found is a treasure
Chapter 79 Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet
Time flies, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching. According to the tradition of previous years, a grand Mid-Autumn Festival banquet will be held in the palace. Now that the imperial concubine has recovered, she will personally prepare this banquet.
Those who were invited to attend the palace banquet were of high status and status. Only officials of the fifth rank or above and their families were allowed to attend. As early as seven days ago, the palace servants had delivered exquisite palace banquet invitations to the official residences. These invitations were not only beautifully made, but also represented supreme honor and grace. The officials who received the invitations all felt honored and began to carefully prepare for the banquet.
While the prince, Su Qingrou and Zhang were planning something big.
On the day of the palace banquet, the south gate of the palace was already crowded with people early in the morning. Officials and their families came early in their own carriages. Because the procedure for entering the palace required identity verification before entering, some people lined up to wait for the banquet, while some ladies and young ladies gathered together to chat and get closer.
"Look! That's the East Palace's carriage!" The sharp-eyed ladies saw the East Palace's carriage slowly approaching from afar and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
As the curtain opened, Xuan Haotian was the first to step out of the carriage, followed by Su Qingrou, who also stepped lightly and elegantly out of the carriage. The eyes of everyone present were instantly drawn to him——
"Wow, the Crown Princess is so beautiful!" Some young lady in the crowd couldn't help but praise her.
Today, Su Qingrou was wearing a gorgeous palace dress with flowing colors and dark patterns. The long light blue gauze skirt dragged to the ground, as if she was draping the clouds on the horizon. On her right wrist, she wore an agate blue bracelet that matched the color of the dress, which made her skin look white as snow and her hands look delicate. Her long black hair that fell like a waterfall was carefully tied into an exquisite hibiscus bun. Her face was only lightly powdered, but it was so beautiful that people dared not look directly at it. The light touch of perfumed powder on her cheeks just added a bit of shyness and charm.
At this time, Su Qingrou was only two months pregnant, but because ancient clothing was loose and baggy, it was difficult for ordinary people to notice the mystery.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess!" Everyone knelt and shouted.
Zhang was also among this group of people. She was just chatting with a few ladies. In fact, they were just flattering her. Now she saw her daughter was high and mighty, graceful, and beautiful. All the officials, big and small, would kneel down and call her the Crown Princess when they saw her. Her sense of accomplishment and vanity were greatly satisfied. She also secretly swore in her heart that she would never let Su Luoxue become the Regent Princess.
"Please stand up!" When Xuan Haotian arrived, everyone stood up to express their gratitude.
Xuan Haotian brought Su Qingrou into the palace. Because Su Qingrou was pregnant, the queen specially sent her own sedan chair to pick her up at the palace gate. The two got on the car, and the palace servants pulled the sedan chair slowly towards the palace.
Outside the palace gate, all the ladies and young ladies were envious and flattering. Prime Minister Su and Zhang responded with smiles, their mouths never closing.
"Look! Isn't that the carriage from the Regent's Palace?" Another shout came from the crowd.
Actually, Su Luoxue originally planned to go to the banquet alone today, as she really didn't like to be too conspicuous. But if she appeared with Xuan Moyin, it would be hard not to attract attention.
However, Xuan Moyin firmly objected. After all, they were already engaged, so how could he let his future wife go to the palace banquet alone? Moreover, this was Su Luoxue's first appearance at a palace banquet, so she had to accompany him. Faced with Xuan Moyin's soft and hard persuasion, Su Luoxue finally had to compromise, got on the luxurious carriage exclusively for the Regent, and drove all the way to the palace.
Today, Su Luoxue was wearing a light green brocade skirt embroidered with hundreds of butterflies, and a white jade-like magnolia flower dress. The exquisite embroidery on the skirt made the flowers and butterflies seem to be about to burst out, and the contrast between them made her look even more beautiful. She casually tied up her hair, only inserting a pure white jade hairpin, and the rest of her black hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, gently fluttering in the wind.
Su Luoxue slowly stepped down from the carriage with Xuan Moyin's careful support. As soon as her feet touched the ground, she immediately felt countless gazes filled with jealousy, resentment and curiosity rushing towards her like a tide.
She frowned slightly and sighed inwardly: "Alas, it seems that Xuan Moyin's admirers are everywhere! It's because of his face that brings disaster to the country and the people that I get so many resentful looks." Thinking of this, Su Luoxue couldn't help but glared at Xuan Moyin beside her.
Xuan Moyin keenly caught Su Luoxue's eyes, and his heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself, "What did I do wrong? How did I make this little woman unhappy?"
At this moment, a group of officials and their wives bowed and saluted, shouting in unison: "Greetings to the Regent, long live the prince!"
Xuan Moyin finally came back to his senses. He said lightly, "No need to be polite." Then he held Su Luoxue's hand tightly and walked into the palace together.
Due to the palace regulations, one cannot bring private maids or servants into the palace, and all the services are handled by the palace maids. Therefore, Meixiang can only stay in the carriage and wait quietly for her mistress to return.
Zhang stood in the crowd with gnashing teeth, her eyes full of resentment, staring at Su Luoxue and the Regent. They were both the people she hated the most!
The daughters of the surrounding families witnessed Xuan Moyin holding Su Luoxue's hand and walking into the palace. Seeing how the Regent was caring for Su Luoxue and treating her like a treasure, they couldn't help but feel sour and resentful: "Why is that? How are we inferior to that woman!" Over the years, the Regent has never even looked at them straight in the eye. Could it be that the person who is about to become the Regent's Consort is really so outstanding?
At this moment, the guards at the palace gate had already begun to check and let in the guests one by one. The crowd was divided into two lines according to gender, and entered the palace in an orderly manner.
However, Su Luoxue, who was outside the situation, was completely unaware of the comments made by the noble ladies. Even if she had heard about it, she would have acted as if it was nothing. After all, such comments did not mean much to her.
Because Xuan Moyin and Su Luoxue both knew that the palace was full of the emperor's secret guards and spies, the two of them just walked hand in hand in silence, and no one spoke.
At this time, a palace maid came over. "Meet the Regent, meet Miss Su." The palace maid said.
Because Su Luoxue and Xuan Moyin had not yet been married, the palace servants could only call her Miss Su instead of the Regent Princess.
"What's the matter?" Xuan Moyin asked.
"I am a maid in the Imperial Concubine's palace. I am here on the Imperial Concubine's orders to invite Miss Su to come over and have a seat with us," said the maid.
Su Luoxue glanced at Xuan Moyin, and Xuan Moyin nodded slightly.
"Then I will go over and pay my respects to Her Majesty." Su Luoxue said.
Xuan Moyin naturally could not go to the harem, so he went to the emperor first, and Su Luoxue went to the imperial concubine's palace by herself.
