Regent, the princess you found is a treasure

Chapter 81 The Palace Banquet Begins

"Who taught you?" Xuan Moyin stared at the fifth princess with cold eyes, a hint of majesty and questioning in his voice.

The fifth princess was frightened and trembled all over. She lowered her head and stammered, "No...no..." At the same time, she couldn't help but sneak a glance at Su Qingrou who was standing next to her.

After all, she was just a child of twelve or thirteen, and she didn't know how to cover up her lies. Xuan Moyin saw through her thoughts at a glance, and a surge of anger surged in his heart.

He glared at the prince fiercely, then held Su Luoxue's hand tightly, stared at the people in front of him with a firm gaze, and said solemnly: "Listen to me, she is your future imperial aunt! I don't want to hear any disrespectful words, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"

At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the distance. It turned out to be the imperial concubine rushing over. When she saw the scene in front of her, she was stunned for a moment, then turned around and whispered to the palace maid beside her: "It seems that we are no longer needed, let's go back."

After saying this, the imperial concubine turned around and left with the palace maids.

At the same time, Xuan Moyin also took Su Luoxue's hand and left.

Seeing this, the Fifth Princess hurriedly wanted to say something, but was decisively interrupted by the Crown Prince: "Okay, let's just leave it at that for today, and don't mention it again in the future!"

The banquet hall of the imperial palace was magnificent and brightly lit. The officials and their families had already taken their seats according to gender.

On the left sat the male guests, who were dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked very dignified; on the right sat the ladies and young ladies, who were dressed in gorgeous attire and looked very graceful.

At this moment, the ladies were enthusiastically discussing family anecdotes and private gossip, and the ladies were not to be outdone, concentrating on discussing the most fashionable and popular clothing styles and matching techniques.

At this very lively moment, suddenly, a eunuch with a loud voice shouted: "The Emperor has arrived! The Empress has arrived! The Imperial Concubine has arrived! The Concubine Rou has arrived! The Regent has arrived......"

This series of announcements resounded throughout the banquet hall like thunder. The originally noisy scene suddenly became silent, as if time had frozen. Everyone panicked, hurriedly straightened their clothes, sat up straight, and prepared to welcome the emperor.

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Yuanwu, the Empress and other members of the royal family slowly walked into the venue and took their seats in turn.

The golden dragon throne in the center naturally belongs to the emperor, while the gorgeous and exquisite phoenix chair next to it is the queen's throne.

On the next step down, the seats of Regent Xuan Moyin, Crown Prince Xuan Haotian, Prince Ning Xuan Haochen, Prince Zhao Xuan Haode and others were arranged in order.

On the other side, sat the Imperial Concubine, the Rou Concubine, and the dignified and beautiful Crown Princess Su Qingrou.

Long before the banquet began, Su Luoxue had already arrived at the scene and quietly sat down in the seat next to Madam Xiao.

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I, the Queen and all my beloved ministers would like to celebrate together!" The high and mighty Emperor Yuanwu said with a kind smile. The Queen beside him also smiled and echoed the emperor's words, and gently raised the exquisite wine glass in her hand.

Seeing this, the ministers below did not dare to neglect it. They stood up one after another, respectfully raised the wine glasses in front of them, and shouted in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Queen!"

As the words fell, everyone raised their heads and drank the wine in their cups. For a moment, the palace was filled with the rich aroma of wine.

Then, a melodious melody suddenly sounded, reverberating in the air like the sound of nature. Along with this wonderful music, a group of palace dancers in gorgeous costumes lightly walked into the palace. Each of them had a graceful figure and picturesque eyes, as beautiful as fairies descending from the earth.

These dancers move their lotus steps lightly, fluttering their sleeves, with graceful and agile movements; their dancing postures are as natural and smooth as flowing clouds and water, and swaying like willows swaying in the wind. Every turn and every glance back is full of endless charm and style, making people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.

The palace was decorated with lights and colors, and the dancers sang and danced like fairies. Everyone present was immersed in this visual feast, and at the same time enjoyed the pleasure brought by the fine wine and delicious food.

The eyes of many young ladies from official families could not help but focus on Xuan Moyin. In fact, it was no wonder that they were like this, after all, Xuan Moyin rarely attended court banquets in the past, and these women could only occasionally catch a glimpse of him from afar. Now that they could look at this handsome man from such a close distance, they naturally wanted to take this opportunity to feast their eyes.

However, facing the ardent gazes of the women around him, Xuan Moyin seemed unaware. At this moment, there was only Su Luoxue in his eyes. He picked up the wine glass absentmindedly and took a sip, but his deep eyes were always firmly locked on the person he loved, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with him.

On the other side, Su Luoxue was bored and listening to the ladies chatting about family matters and gossip. When she noticed Xuan Moyin's gaze, she didn't pay much attention to it, and was even too lazy to respond.

Because she knew very well that countless eyes were staring at Xuan Moyin at this moment, and she really didn't want to become the target of public criticism.

Mrs. Xiao, who was standing by, saw all of this, but she only gave Su Luoxue a loving and doting smile.

At this time in the palace, the palace maids were flying around the banquet like butterflies, busy pouring wine and serving food to the masters and ladies, serving everyone wholeheartedly.

A palace maid was walking towards Su Luoxue's table holding a wine jug. However, just as she reached Su Luoxue, she suddenly tilted and fell to the ground, and the wine in the jug in her hand spilled right onto Su Luoxue's body.

Madam Xiao immediately came over to check on Su Luoxue and found that she was fine. The little palace maid was so scared that she immediately knelt on the ground, trembling, and kowtowed repeatedly to admit her mistake.

Xuan Moyin was so nervous that he almost stood up. The queen said softly, "Royal brother, nothing is wrong."

"Take this palace maid away. Come, take Miss Su away and tidy her up." the queen ordered.

A palace maid came over and walked up to Su Luoxue: "Miss Su, I will help you change your clothes."

Madam Xiao wanted to accompany her, but Su Luoxue asked her to sit here and she would be back soon, so Madam Xiao had to give up.

Actually, Su Luoxue already had her suspicions in her heart. She was also a person who liked to watch palace fighting dramas, so she knew that the maid couldn't have fallen for no reason, and she fell right in front of her and spilled the wine all over her. However, she wanted to see who wanted to harm her and how?
