Become the Queen with the Space System

Chapter 56: The Lotus Appreciation Banquet is Just an Excuse for a Blind Date

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the lotus viewing banquet.

Early in the morning, Ah Man helped Song Yanzhi to dress and do her makeup.

Since returning to the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, Ah Man has bought a lot of new clothes for Song Yanzhi.

Enough to cope with a variety of occasions.

He even spent a huge amount of money to buy more than a dozen sets of head ornaments just to support Song Yanzhi's aura.

After all, Song Yanzhi is General Song's daughter, so we can't lose face.

Although Song Yanzhi himself does not care about these material things.

But he also knew in his heart that one should respect the clothes first and then the person.

If you wear tattered clothes, it will be hard for people to look at you with respect.

Ah Man prepared a long dress made of light pink Huanhua brocade.

When worn on Song Yanzhi, it makes her look bright and charming, and her carefully maintained face can now be said to be as delicate as a baby's.

He is completely different from when he was wasting time in Han's house.

"Wouldn't it be a bit ostentatious to wear this?"

She is used to keeping a low profile and rarely wears this kind of light pink.

It looks good, and it’s the right time to wear pink at this age.

She didn't know why, but she just felt uncomfortable.

"Miss, this outfit looks very nice, not at all ostentatious.

The other noble ladies would only be dressed more gorgeously, after all, this was a banquet for the princes.

No noble lady would dress simply.”

It was called a lotus viewing banquet, but it was nothing more than finding wives for those princes who had not yet married.

What's worse is that he expanded the harem for Emperor Dongyu.

I heard that every year at the lotus viewing banquet, the ladies from each family would try their best to show off their beauty.

Just to find a good backer for myself.

If you were married to a prince and became his consort, you would enjoy a lifetime of wealth and glory.

It can also help your family gain a firm foothold.

Therefore, the lotus viewing banquet became a silent battlefield for the noble ladies.

“It’s really scary.”

As expected, no matter which dynasty, people’s pursuit of power and money is equally intense.

"Miss, this outfit suits you very well, don't worry."

Ah Man was talking without stopping his hands.

He used a comb to comb Song Yanzhi's long black hair.

Now that Song Yanzhi is no longer a married woman, she naturally no longer needs to wear her hair in a bun.

But the weather in the beginning of summer is really hot.

After everything was ready, Song Yanzhi, followed by A'man and Ye Wanxing, got on the carriage to the palace.

"Wanxing, have you remembered everything I taught you?"

Song Yanzhi was still worried that Ye Wanxing would be nervous, after all, it was her first time entering the palace.

The target is still Emperor Dongyu.

"Don't worry, miss, I'm not nervous at all. I will definitely complete the task you assigned to me."

Seeing Ye Wanxing's confident look, Song Yanzhi also felt relieved.

It would be best if it could succeed, but it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t.

There is a long way to go. If it doesn’t work this time, look for another opportunity next time.

However, Song Yanzhi did not say these words out loud, seeing Ye Wanxing's confident look.

She also didn't want to undermine Ye Wanxing's morale.

Song Yanzhi was instructing Ye Wanxing, and before he knew it, the carriage had stopped at the palace gate.

"Miss, we're here." Ah Man reminded Song Yanzhi.

"Let's go then."

As soon as I got off the carriage, I saw many noble ladies in gorgeous clothes.

Just as Ah Man said, she was not outstanding at all among these noble ladies.

The only thing that cannot be ignored is her face. When it comes to clothing and appearance, she is really outdone.

"Why are these noble ladies not at all shy about someone like the eldest princess?" Song Yanzhi asked softly.

When I think of those eye-catching scenes I saw in the eldest princess’ bedroom last time.

It’s true that modern people don’t have the flowers that Xuan Ziying likes to play with.

“The eldest princess is favored, and these noble ladies don’t really care about the eldest princess’s banquet.

It's just an excuse to hold a banquet to see if the princes will take a liking to me.

After all, apart from the Princess's banquet, the chances of meeting the Prince are slim to none."

Song Yanzhi didn't know that the princes would be at the banquet today.

"You mean the men and women at today's banquet are defenseless?"

What kind of open dynasty is this?

"Only the Princess' Lotus Appreciation Banquet was unguarded. How could any other banquet be unguarded?"

I see, it's just borrowing the reputation of Xuan Ziying's opening.

Men and women are all a group of people with impure thoughts.

"understood."

The three followed the crowd and came to the 'Lotus Viewing Pavilion' built by Emperor Dong Yu specifically for Xuan Ziying.

All I can say is that there is a reason why Dongyu Country is poor.

I guess Emperor Dongyu spent all his money on food, drink and entertainment.

The extravagance of this 'Lotus Viewing Pavilion' was so shocking to her, a modern person.

There was even an ice bucket next to each seat, filling the entire pavilion with cool air.

Not afraid of the hot summer at all.

In addition to the main seat in the middle, there are two rows of seats facing each other below.

This Lotus Viewing Pavilion is built on a lotus pond, and blooming lotuses can be seen on all sides.

What it means to be surrounded by flowers was fully embodied in front of her.

When we got here, the eldest princess had not appeared yet.

The ladies gathered in groups of three or four to talk.

After all, many of them are familiar with each other, so it is normal for them to get together and talk.

She, on the other hand, seemed like an outsider.

For so many years, she has never shown up at this lotus viewing banquet.

Appearing here today, he naturally became the topic of conversation among the ladies.

"I heard that this is General Song's daughter. Oh no, now she is the daughter of the Prince of Zhennan."

"That's because the Emperor is wise. He thought that as a woman, she divorced her husband. If she didn't have a father who was good at fighting, how could she have become a princess?"

"Yes, she is now a princess with a title. Should we pay our respects to her?"

"Why are you asking for peace? She's just an empty title. Why should we be afraid of an orphan girl without any support?"

"Miss Su is right. After all, Miss Su is the daughter of the Prime Minister. I hope Miss Su can get what she wants today."

The silver bell-like laughter reached Song Yanzhi's ears.

She just felt that the sound was very harsh.

It turns out that the noble ladies of Dongyu Kingdom can only be so timid. This really opened her eyes.

As expected, there are still a lot of gossips among women, especially these gossipy women.

In a word, they are just too bored and it is rare for them to get together, so they must find a reason to talk nonsense and show off their status.

It's so boring.

These "noble ladies" will sooner or later be in trouble because of their mouths that spread rumors and cause trouble.

What she said is guaranteed to be true!

"Ladies, please take your seats."

A eunuch came in, probably it was almost time and the eldest princess was ready to appear.

Because Song Yanzhi was a princess with a title, her seat would naturally be closer to the main seat.

Even if she is just a princess with an empty title, she is much better than these noble ladies who have nothing.

They only sat on one side, and there was no doubt that the other side was the seat prepared for the princes.

I think today's banquet will be very lively.

Just by sitting in this position, she could feel the jealous looks from the noble ladies.

If looks could kill, she would probably be covered in wounds by now.

He was looking down on her just now, but now the look he gave her is a slap in the face.

It's really sad.

"The eldest princess has arrived!"

"The eldest prince has arrived!"

"The third prince has arrived!"

......

Emperor Dongyu's sons are almost all here.

"The second prince has arrived!"

When I heard the eunuch say that the second prince had arrived.

Song Yanzhi looked up.

Xuan Yuchen limped in with a cane.

Huh? Are you still coming after all this?

Song Yanzhi's face was full of confusion.
