Banquet Hall (3)

Fan Sang enters the Banquet Hall with the dress that she loves so much at first sight. She was wearing a golden yellow dress. At the bottom of the dress was the creation of many flowers building up to get waist, but it never reaches her waist. Only two were on her waist it was a Rosa and Narcissistic. She walks to the fourth level and sat in her seat.

"Ai Jia is already here shouldn't the Banquet begin now, "Fan Sang as she pulls them out of their trance. They were all too focused on the dress she had on.

"LingEr, what should be next now?"

"Now we should be presenting presents for Empress Dowager. Nobleman should be first." The nobleman one by one try to impress the Empress Dowager but only fails. Fan Sang smile every time but was annoyed by the flattering. Finally, it was the princess's turn (youngest to oldest). Finally, it was Li Mei Tang's turn. She gifts her a painting that she did herself. It was a painting of a White Crane. In the painting were the words 'May you be blessed with unity and happiness'. Fan Sang instantly felt happy.

"Good child! Ai Jia loves it." Li Mei Tang smile lovely. When it finally reaches Li Fu Ling, she presents a Jade hair clasp with a pearl on top. It was a piece of jewelry from the last dynasty that the Empress used to wear. "Such nice jewelry."

"Li Bai Xue it's your turn now, "Feng Jiu said. Li Bai Xue, however, did not get up. "Or did you forget about it?"Feng Jiu said.

Fan Sang immediately spoke up, "This dress..." everyone ears perked up, "was my sweet granddaughter Li Bai Xue who made this." Everyone other than Li Mei Tang was shocked especially Feng Jiu. "XueEr will you tell everyone what these flowers all mean."

Li Bai Xue simply said, "There are eight different types of flowers. The first one at the bottom is the lotus. It represents purity, long life, and honor. It can also represent the buddha which NaiNai loves so much. The next flowers are the peony..."

Peony stands for riches, prosperity, and honor. Azaleas stand for happiness. Chrysanthemum stands for nobility and elegance. Orchid stands for integrity, nobility, and friendship. Plum Blossom stands for endurance. Finally on the waist was Narcissus which stands for Water Goddess while the China Rosa stands for Queen of Flower. After explaining did everyone look at her with an amazing look.

They were all thinking who could have made such a beautiful dress. They would have that person work for them. who would have known it was the Da Gongzhu present for the Empress Dowager.

Fan Sang was happy, "LingEr what next."

"Bengong knew that you don't like the dancing that man like so I made things to your liking. Come in!"

A group of people with a dancing sword came in. Their hair was tied up, and they had on the black mask. Half was wearing white while half was wearing black. They split up and head toward each other.

A song started to play according to the way that the dancers were dancing. It was a story of the past dynasty when both groups were fighting for the throne. Fan Sang was surprised. She liked this story ever since she was little.

Of course, she knew what happened between Li Yun Meng and Li Bai Xue, but knew that Feng Jiu was going to handle it because of Li Fu Ling. So she just relaxes herself to music and dance.
