Chapter 233 Lantern Palace Banquet
Chapter 233 Lantern Palace Banquet
After Lin Jinxiu's incident, Yan Wuque immediately issued a gag order, strictly forbidding anyone to discuss the matter. Chi Yan was punished to practice in the training ground for dereliction of duty.
Yun Yuxi knew the pain in Banxia's heart, but she understood that the reason why Banxia was so sad was because she had feelings for Chiyan. However, this matter could not be completely blamed on Chiyan alone, and Banxia needed time to slowly digest this knot in her heart.
After learning about Banxia's experience, Yuelan was furious and went straight to the training ground to teach Chiyan a lesson. Seeing Banxia sad, Yuelan felt distressed. After all, they had served Yun Yuxi together for many years and had a deep friendship with each other.
Chi Yan was beaten black and blue, but he knelt down and begged Yue Lan to take good care of Ban Xia, and said that after he completed the training, he would personally apologize to Ban Xia and beg for her forgiveness.
On the day of the Lantern Festival, the palace was filled with jubilation and excitement. Not only did they slaughter pigs and sheep, but they also hung up lanterns carefully made by the servants.
Yun Yuxi accepted the greetings from the concubines, but Lin Jinxiu was not there. Everyone tacitly did not mention her, as if this person had never existed.
In the evening, Yun Yuxi dressed up carefully, wearing the uniform of a princess, and went to the palace with Yan Wuque to attend the palace banquet.
The Third Prince's Consort Qi Yue had lost a lot of weight and became more taciturn. She married into the royal family and became the royal daughter-in-law, so as the principal wife, she had to attend the Lantern Festival palace banquet.
Even with makeup on her face, Qi Yue couldn't hide her haggardness. She took the Third Prince, who was pretending to be a fool, in a carriage and slowly walked towards the palace.
In the carriage, the Third Prince tried to break the quiet atmosphere and said with concern: "Yue'er, are you feeling better? I am very worried."
Qi Yue remained silent. The Third Prince was a little angry and looked unhappy. He knew that Qi Yue was angry with him, so he turned his head away and said nothing more.
The second prince was more proud and complacent. Yun Ruyan magnanimously allowed the second prince to bring the pregnant Yun Jinxi to the palace banquet. This year, the second prince was enjoying himself with beauties on both sides. Ming Liu had many tricks and it was even more comfortable for her to serve the second prince.
The Fourth Prince is very low-key. His mother made a mistake, and only by keeping a low profile and making the Emperor forget about it can he avoid being targeted.
Outside the palace gate, the fifth prince unexpectedly came over to say hello. His attitude was gentle and polite, making people feel a little bit friendly.
When he talked with Yun Yuxi, his words revealed his respect for Yan Wuque and himself, which made Yun Yuxi look up to him.
Yun Yuxi secretly sighed in her heart: It turns out that the dog emperor can also give birth to such an outstanding son!
However, when her eyes fell on the Sixth Prince behind the Fifth Prince, Yun Yuxi discovered that he was following behind him silently like a transparent man, with an expression of deep brotherly love on his face, but it seemed a little artificial.
As Yun Yuxi was thinking about this, Yan Lingxi suddenly appeared in her mind. She thought of the Sixth Princess and became curious, so she decided to go and visit her.
Entering Lingxi Pavilion, Yun Yuxi saw Yan Lingxi busy selecting clothes for the palace banquet, and seemed to be in a good mood. Just then, a palace maid hurried over to report that Yun Yuxi came to visit.
Upon hearing the news, Yan Lingxi couldn't help but curl her lips, feeling confused and puzzled.
She really couldn't understand why Yun Yuxi came to visit suddenly, after all, there was no deep friendship between the two. However, out of courtesy, she decided to receive Yun Yuxi in person.
"Hey, Yun Yuxi, what are you doing here? Do you want to ask for something? Let me make it clear first, I may not be able to help you with your problem, so don't delay my dressing time.
Tonight's palace banquet is very important, and I must not lose to other women." Yan Lingxi raised her chin proudly, like a beautiful and proud peacock, showing her superiority.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I'm your royal aunt, can't I come to see you? On the day of my wedding, the princess gave me some dowry, and you saved my life that day. I didn't even have the chance to thank you," Yun Yuxi said with a smile.
"Hmph, don't think that you can suppress me just because of your special status. If you have nothing to do, you'd better leave quickly. This princess doesn't have time to chat with you." The Sixth Princess said bluntly, with a hint of impatience in her tone.
"Princess, are you sure you don't want to talk to me? I have a way to make you the most dazzling one tonight, and I have many novel and interesting things here, such as the beauty water that the queen often uses. Could it be that Princess is really willing to let me leave like this?"
"Can you really make this princess the most beautiful tonight? If that's the case, then it's not impossible for me to get along well with you." Yan Lingxi looked so innocent and cute that Yun Yuxi couldn't help but twitch her lips.
Yun Yuxi suddenly had the idea of teasing the Sixth Princess, so she deliberately put on a mature attitude and said
"How about this, if you are willing to call me the Imperial Aunt, maybe when I am in a good mood, I will not only help you with your makeup and dress up, but also teach you some techniques. You should have heard about the makeup I wore on the day of my wedding, right? So..."
However, before she could finish her words, Yan Lingxi couldn't wait to shout, "Auntie Huang! Auntie Huang! Please help me!"
The Sixth Princess's fawning and flattering appearance surprised the palace maids beside her, and they all tried to hold back their laughter.
"Okay, since you're so well-behaved, I'll accept it with reluctance," Yun Yuxi said with a wry smile.
Yun Yuxi chose a skirt for Yan Lingxi, which was red and white, simple and elegant.
Then she put beautiful makeup on Yan Lingxi. She used modern sweet makeup, which is not what the ancients would do, and the makeup did not have that heavy feeling.
The serving palace maids were stunned. When they saw Yan Lingxi's outfit, they all praised her.
Yan Lingxi opened her eyes, looked at herself in the mirror, and exclaimed in disbelief: "This princess is so beautiful, thank you, aunt," and then she was as happy as a child.
Beautiful makeup and a simple and elegant skirt make her look elegant and fresh, and fresh with a touch of publicity, which perfectly interprets the character of the sixth princess.
The two happily went to Shangyang Palace to attend the palace banquet.
Shangyang Palace was filled with ministers and their families. The ministers all brought their sons and daughters to show up to facilitate their children's marriages.
Shupin in the cold palace was dressing herself up with rouge and powder brought in by the guards. She was already beautiful, and she looked thinner in the cold palace, making her even more beautiful and charming.
Shangyang Palace was bustling with activity. The Emperor and Empress were accepting the kneeling homage of their ministers, and the monarch and his subjects were toasting each other in harmony.
Little did they know that tonight's palace banquet would be even more exciting and unforgettable...
