Chapter 77: Provocation from the Strong
"Oh?" The Emperor slightly narrowed his eyes, his expression is mysterious, worthy of being royalty. He showed no happiness or anger.
Prince Xiao Yao went forward and said: "Reporting to the Emperor. Recently, the ninth prince is seriously ill. So he can't come on time, I hope your majesty won't blame him."
Feng Lian Yi and Prince Xiao Yao are good friends, it is well known in Nan Yi country.
With the status of Prince Xiao Yao, since he has already open his mouth to please, the Emperor have to give him face, he laughed: "It's no bother. It's still early, I and everyone here will wait for the guests to arrive."
Everyone shouted long live the Emperor and then the Emperor bestow seats to the guest.
Xiao Yuan Cheng with Xiao Zhong Qi and Xiao Zhong Lei took seats, when he saw the seat that Huang Bei Yue is seating on. He coldly humphed and also saw Xiao Yun's face full of grievances, his heart full of fury, he said: "Yun 'er, what's the matter?"
Xiao Yun who was full of grievances, said in a low voice: "Yun 'er knows that she's only a daughter of a concubine. Before I accidentally sat at sister's seat, who would've thought I would be scolded by the princess. Father, Yun 'er really did it by accident."
Xiao Yuan Cheng already have a belly of anger towards Huang Bei Yue, now that he heard this, he is even more angry. He glared at her harshly.
Huang Bei Yue play with the wine cup in her hand, she coldly shoot a glance at him, said: "Emperor's son-in-law, right now it's the palace. It's a place with rules. You and I have different statuses. If the imperial censors sees you being disrespectful to me, be careful they might look for you for trouble tomorrow."
"You—–" Xiao Yuan Cheng's body immediately fired up. He couldn't believe that this waste would say these kinds of words to him.
He is her father! She actually dare bring out statuses and positions? Absurd!
"Huh?" Huang Bei Yue coldly turn her pupil to him, the corner of her lips display a mocking smile.
Xiao Yuan Cheng is so angry that he's about to spit out blood. But in the palace, the Emperor and the Empress is here, how could he dare to be impudent?
Xiao Yun who was at the side saw that her father also suffered a big loss, her heart can't help but jump, a indescribable feeling of unease emerge.
When Huang Bei Yue saw that Xiao Yuan Cheng dare to become angry yet not say anything, she lowered her head and sneered, continuing to play with the wine cup.
They deliberately speak in a low voice, so the people around them didn't find that anything was amiss.
Crown Prince Zhan Ye walked up next to Princess Ying Ye and sat down. Princess Ying Ye immediately said: "Royal brother, this is royal auntie's Bei Yue, do you still remember?"
Huang Bei Yue lifted her hand and saw Princess Ying Ye pointing her finger at her, talking to Zhan Ye.
Zhan Ye coldly turned his head and glance at her. There doesn't seem to be any change in expression. Since little, Huang Bei Yue is a weak waste which is different from his firm/unyielding temper. So he pays little attention to this Princess Bei Yue.
Separated for several years, when he saw her again, she still look pale and sickly, only a pair of distinct black and white eyes which appears to be very clear.
Out of courtesy and due to the respect to the deceased Princess Zhang, Zhan Ye said: "I heard that your health isn't good, has it become better?"
The youngster's concern is cold, but the emotions aren't fake, It is merely that he always have this indifferent personality.
Huang Bei Yue's heart feel a little bit warm, nodded her head: "It has gotten better, many thanks for the Crown Prince's concern."
The voice is soft, but it sounded somewhat familiar, Zhan Ye can't help but give her another glance, with this glance, he suddenly discovered that the young lady in front of his eyes looks looks beautiful with flesh of ice and bones of jade, wonderful red lips, her figure is petite and exquisite, temperament cold and clear, cold to the point that she is different from the Huang Bei Yue in the past-
