24 Princess and Prince Ying Birthday 2

At that moment...

A white figure amongst the crowd of people appear. She was truly eye-catching. It's not hard not to notice her, and even if they want to ignore her, their eyes won't budge. Their attention is fully glued to her.

Clad in white, she was like an immortal who descended the heavens. Her presence simply made the guest felt like it was a blessing.

They gazed at her with awe, excluding those people who don't like her, giving her hateful glare.

Nalan Han and the other misses from high noble status looked at her filled with jealousy, wanting to pounce on her like a wild, wild wolf.

"Li Wei, you're here." Princess Ying's gentle voice rang in the Imperial Courtyard.

"Princess." Li Wei bows in respect. "This is my gift to you. This is a Moonstone Jade that I acquire when I was in a treasure hunting."

Wait, Moonstone Jade?

The crowd gasped the instant they heard the name of the jade.

That jade can help someone improve their health, cultivation and can help remove wrinkles of the old.

The jade actually exist?

Nalan Han sniggered. She's anticipating to see Li Wei being humiliated.

She spoke, "Moonstone Jade? That must be fake!"

Fake?

Li Wei glance coldly at Nalan Han. In the past, she almost lost her life getting this treasure. Sought by monsters, assassins, magic users and her witch stepmother. And now, this Princess Yue who doesn't know a thing says that it is fake?

All the guest started to whisper. Giving Li Wei a contemptuous glance.

"I can't believe that she will give the Princess a fake Moonstone Jade!"

"Haha, it's really laughable when people wanted to curry favor just to climb up!"

"Moonstone Jade is only a legend. This girl thinks that she's all good!"

"What a girl. Who's family is she anyway?"

Nalan Han has a smug smile on her face. Getting victory is good!

Instead of getting angry, Princess Ying smiled softly and receive the gift on her own.

"Thank you, Li Wei, for your gift. I will treasure it."

" No problem." She replied calmly.

Suddenly, a magnetic voice rang, landed on their ears and music to those who love him.

"My, my. I can't let anyone talk bad about, Weiwei and let her felt wronged. If I remember correctly, the Moonstone Jade in the Princess' hand is the same as the real one. There are no other replicas. That is real."

The people were dumbstruck, mouth slightly open.

So, it is real? It's the real jade?

But what Nalan Han and the others heard is the word 'Weiwei' that the Prince had called Li Wei.

The Prince called her Weiwei? Are they now close?

"Prince Ao, is it true? It's the real one?" An old man asked the Prince, his voice trembling.

"I won't repeat myself. What I said earlier is true. This Prince is not lying." Liu Xu said with a dangerously calm tone.

Princess Ying after knowing the truth held the jade a little bit tighter. She thanks Li Wei again.

"Thank you, Li Wei, for this priceless gift." She felt really grateful towards Li Wei. The jade will help her improve her cultivation, she can be stronger just like her brother and Prince Ao. She no longer the Princess who always get protected. If she got stronger, she can also protect the Kingdom together with her twin brother.

Li Wei nodded.

"The Emperor and Empress have arrived!" A eunuch shouted. Everyone immediately kneeled to pay their respects.

"May the Emperor and the Empress live thousands and thousands of years!" They said. Li Wei didn't kneel, she just bowed to the dragon and the Phoenix.

"You may rise." The Emperor muttered slowly.

"This is my children's birthday banquet. The guest should enjoy themselves."

"Many thanks to the Emperor and Empress."

The birthday banquet started with the dance performers. The dance is very lively yet graceful. Many young masters concealed their fervent gazes when watching the beautiful dancers sway their hips.

"Enjoy yourself, Li Wei. Come, let's sit together."

There are a total of four seats where Prince Ying headed. Two are already occupied by two dashing Prince, namely, Prince Ying and Prince Ao.

Li Wei doesn't like banquets but she's already accustomed to this kind of events. In the past, her stepmother almost every day invited many officials, just to do this kind of things. It was very frustrating! Wasting money in a useless event. How about the people of the kingdom? Those poor people? As the lady and an only heir in the kingdom, she voiced her opinion, that only leads her getting beat up by her stepmother.

Li Wei snaps back in her senses when she heard the crowds clapping. The performance is done and its time for eating. All the servants place the foods in our table and she happily accepts. Food is one of the reasons she comes to this banquet. Food is life. So how can she live without it?

They began to eat, but as the meal progressed, there were times Li Wei could feel someone's gaze on her. She turned to find the source, and find Liu Xu looking at her. Her skin crawl in an instant.

[What the heck is wrong with him?]

Liu Xu smiled and lifted his hand a little to offer a toast, Li Wei offers just the same and return eating the delicious meal with gratitude.

"Princess Ying, please don't lose the moonstone jade. It is a precious item that I got with difficulty. It can improve your health, cultivation and can improve longevity. Since I gave it to you, your the only one that can use it. If someone steals it, it would be useless."

[I made preparation. Accidentally, I found out that the moonstone jade is a legend here while I was browsing a book. I made Feng An enchant magic to the jade so that the owner will be the only one can use it. Moreover, if someone dares steal and use it, they will suffer insufferable pain.]

[It would be my fault if the Princess experience great danger!]
