Traveling through the Poisonous Concubine

Chapter 19 Lotus Appreciation Banquet

Yun Yuxi walked into the plum garden and instantly felt a chill. Yun Ruyan looked at Yun Yuxi with poisonous eyes. Yun Yuxi felt that not only did Yun Ruyan hate him to death, but he also felt many malicious gazes.

"Sister, you don't know the rules. The banquet is about to begin. Where did you just run to? Why were you running around? If you bumped into an important person, wouldn't the entire prime minister's mansion be embarrassed? When grandmother blames you, can you bear the consequences?" Yun Ruyan scolded.

"Thank you for your concern, sister Bu Lao. I will protect the Prime Minister's Mansion. But you have to keep an eye on the Third Miss today. Just on the way here, I heard the Third Miss has been asking about the Second Prince. I hope you won't embarrass me later." After saying this, Yun Yuxi walked past Yun Ruyan and walked towards her seat without even looking at Yun Ruyan.

The seats are arranged according to the family status of each mansion, the closer you are to the front, the more prestigious you are.

"Second Miss, please come this way. Your seat is in the front. Please follow me," Qinghe said respectfully.

"Thank you, sister." Yun Yuxi thanked her calmly.

This really pissed off the ladies in the Xiangfu. Why did this bitch win the favor of the eldest princess?

The noble ladies took their seats in turn. The maids were seen carrying plates and placing dishes in an orderly manner. The maids standing behind them served dishes to their own ladies. Everyone ate in silence, even the arrogant and domineering Sixth Princess ate quietly. No one dared to be presumptuous at the eldest princess's banquet. It is said that at a lotus viewing banquet one year, the daughter of the Minister of Rites whispered at the lotus viewing banquet seat and was directly expelled from the banquet. She was not allowed to attend any banquets in Kyoto. Later, the woman was depressed and committed suicide with a white silk thread not long after.

Everyone finishes their meal with their own thoughts, and the highlight of the annual Lotus Viewing Banquet is after dinner.

As expected.

Her Royal Highness the Princess' personal maid Qing He said majestically:

"Today, the Princess's Mansion is hosting a lotus viewing banquet. Young talents and young ladies from all prefectures in Kyoto are invited. I now declare the lotus viewing banquet officially open. Please move to the island in the middle of the lake."

Everyone walked up to the island in the middle of the lake one by one, only to find that there was no screen on the island in the middle of the lake. This made the girls blush, and the bolder boys looked at each other eagerly. Yun Yuxi twitched her lips and thought to herself, "This is not a lotus viewing banquet. It is early autumn now. The lotus flowers in the lake have withered and have now grown into lotus pods. I heard that this lotus viewing banquet was supposed to be held in early June, but it was postponed to early autumn for some reason. It seems that today's lotus viewing banquet should not be simple. If I am not mistaken, this is a disguised blind date in ancient times. I don't know what will happen today. I always have an indescribable feeling in my heart. Forget it. When water comes, earth will cover it. When soldiers come, generals will stop it." Yun Yuxi shook her head and sat down with everyone.

Men and women sat on both sides. The eldest princess in the upper position said with a smile, "Today is the lotus viewing banquet. I have prepared four gifts. The best ones can get them."

"The first item is the Jiaowei Qin, which I have been looking for for many years and I am fortunate to have obtained. The second item is the Fire Dragon Whip given to me by my father. I liked it very much when I was young. This whip is soft and can be wrapped around the waist. Its power should not be underestimated. The third item is 20 Dongzhu presented by Nanling Country. The fourth item is a place for admission to the Royal Academy. The Royal Academy is the only academy in this dynasty that allows women to study. Today, I have invited the dean of the Royal Academy, the emperor's teacher, and the six ministers as judges. Today, the talent competition officially begins.

Yun Yuxi curled her lips. It seemed that she couldn't keep a low profile today. She would do whatever she wanted with each of these rewards.

Yun Yuxi didn't know that she would be frequently targeted next. This made Yun Yuxi speechless.
