(Feng Jiang Lei's POV)
The carriage stopped in a large parking lot. Oh well, I don't know what to call it, but just like that. I see families unloading their gifts and young misses veiled or unveiled with heavy makeup and rainbow colored gowns. Is this a beauty pageant or something like a clown fest? I get out of the carriage and look through tons of women, unnoticed.
"Sister" a girl in her teens suddenly appeared beside me, where did she come from? At least she's dressed elegantly, far from the disaster that I see in front of us.
"Um excuse me, is this a banquet for a birthday celebration and a consort selection or have I gone into a rainbow festival with lots of clown?" I asked with curiosity, do women in ancient times really dress in exaggeration to impress men? I mean they can excel independently. She laughed.
"You're in the right party sister, but those clowns will show their intermission numbers later. Just look at how prepared they were, that's why you need to stick with me. They won't dare do tricks in front of this miss." She said, wait why does she speak like a modern woman?
"You're not from here" I dead panned, then she winked. So I am not the only one who transmigrated here!
"Princess! Princess! His majesty is looking for you. We need to hurry and go to the palace." A maidservant from the palace was running towards us. Well unfortunately it made everyone look into our direction.
"So annoying" the princess said
"Your highness, I am very sorry for not knowing. Please accept my greetings of apology" I hurriedly said, damn! How would I know she's a princess?

"Don't bother, we came from the same world where people call others through names and not titles. The party will start any minute from now, why don't you accompany this princess?" She smiled innocently
"I will, later. Right now I need to go in with my parents. The ancient etiquette is hard to abide, I just want to sit without doing pleasantries." I politely declined, I have a motive why I need to go with my parents. My parents will shield me from criticism and it would boost my publicity. The credibility of my business relies on my family and not just pure business skills.
"Then excuse this princess first, Wei'er let's go back. I'll see you later." I nodded and bid her goodbye
Coincidentally my family appeared behind me. I walk towards them in the most graceful manner that I know. Well I've walked in television shows before and press conference meetings and there's no way that I'll shy away. I've had a professional training before, and that was one of the advantages of being the queen of business industry.
"Where have you been?" Mother asked
"I've had an encounter with a princess and we chatted for a while mother."
"Hmm, the banquet's about to start, let's head in" mother said
I nodded and walk behind them. This is so cool, I am walking with the generals. Unfortunately, mom did not agree with me joining the military.
