Chapter 256 - Duoduo, Stay Away from Him in The Future (2/2)
When the dance concluded, Princess Yao lifted the veil on her face and gave her salute to the old monarch sitting on the highest seat, she then said with a dignified and graceful bearing, “Father Emperor, this child prepared this dance especially for Father Emperor, does Father Emperor like it?”
The old monarch was dumbfounded before he praised with delight, “Yao’er? Haha, so it’s this girl! Come, come, quickly come in front of your Father Emperor.”
When Princess Yao stood beside old monarch, he introduced her with a smile to envoys from the three kingdoms, “This our dearest Eighth Princess, please excuse her incompetence.”
Although it’s normal not to invite any princesses or imperial concubines to this kind of banquet, but the old monarch was really happy today, letting the princess to stay.
For a princess, this might be the greatest favor she could ever receive, but Princess Yao refused, saying that she still wanted to go back and accompany her mother.
Old monarch didn’t insist, he was really satisfied that princess was one that understand the basic principles.
“My Lord, this Princess Yao is really smart ah.” Nan Xun said.
“Oh? How can you be sure?”
Nan Xun said, “If she stays, wouldn’t she have to stand there for the rest of the banquet? Imperial banquet is so long ah she would be so tired after. Also, she can’t eat nor drink a thing, only seeing us savoring wine and tea, wouldn’t it be absolutely agonizing?”
Gong Moran thought that this little girl was a smart one who has glib tongue and knows when to stop, but he didn’t expect her answer to be something like this, at that moment, he really somewhat had a hard time suppressing a laugh from coming out.
Thinking that there’s nothing amusing anymore, Nan Xun started enjoying delicacies on her table.
After devouring several mouthfuls, Nan Xun clicked her tongue in admiration, “Taste is really not bad at all, it can even be compared with our Moran Hall’s chef, but I still like our food better though.”
When the woman said ‘our’, this one word, the man’s still eyes gazed indifferently at her, however, a wave softly swayed about inside, gentle and delicate.
Looking at her eating with relish, Gong Moran picked up his food and sent it to her face.
Nan Xun also didn’t want to be polite, she directly ate what he gave her.
However, when all is said and done, it’s not good to finish all the food in a royal banquet, so Nan Xun didn’t finish her meal, only picking up some of her most favorite food.
Just now she drank a lot of tea, Nan Xun whispered secretly to big boss that she wanted to go to toilet before leaving her seat alone.
When people wanted to go to toilet, there would be special court ladies to lead the way, in order to avoid them walking into other roads, Nan Xun was also the same.
However, at this moment, Nan Xun looked at the little servant girl who led her way; after following her for seven to eight turns, Nan Xun narrowed her eyes.
Someone is scheming against her.
Toilets shouldn’t be that far from the banquet hall.
Nan Xun turned around and left, unexpectedly, there were four big-waisted court ladies that suddenly appeared next to her, blocking her way of retreat.
Nan Xun sneered, “Hey, your master shouldn’t be so stupid, State Master knows that I have gone out to toilet, he would be suspicious if he doesn’t see me back for a long time.”
The four court ladies were expressionless, “If lady knows how to be tactful, then lady should follow these slave girls for a walk.”
Nan Xun put her hands on her back, saying happily, “What if I don’t want to?”
