LOVE AND BETRAYAL
BANQUET PARTY

As a form of gratitude for Bai Cheung returning to the capital safely and Fan Jianying had also recovered from her illness after getting treatment in the Weixi mountains by the Shilin healer.

Matriarch Bai held a banquet and invited all the officials and nobles in the capital.

Of course the invitation received great enthusiasm from the citizens of the capital.

In addition to the food that will be served from the Impereal Restaurant. They also wanted to see firsthand the third young madam Bai who could survive the deadly disease.

Of course now the name of Shilin healer became famous in almost all parts of Huangshan country, especially the capital.

Because he is the one who can cure deadly diseases as suffered by the previous Queen Shua.

Unfortunately, no one knows if the cause of the death of the crown prince's mother Qin Shi Huang was not due to her illness.

But the poison that is consumed every day, to make his body more and more weakened.

The poison is not given directly, but the enemy uses more subtle methods so as not to arouse suspicion.

Where the food consumed by Queen Shua will be a very deadly poison if consumed along with the drugs prescribed for her.

It's just that the process takes a long time than common toxins have an immediate visible effect. All this is done so as not to arouse suspicion in its implementation.

Meanwhile, the, inside the room, Dayu and Fan Jianying were having a small argument to determine which clothes the girl would wear at a banquet hosted by Matriarch Bai as a form of gratitude for her health having recovered.

“ Miss...you are not right – wear the clothes right ?..it is very simple and too plain..”, Dayu for the umpteenth time expressed his opinion again – again ignored by Fan Jianying.

“ Doesn't this also look good enough to wear ?..”, refute Fan Jianying while turning her body right and left in front of the large mirror in front of her.

“ You are the star today...so this outfit will not make you stand out..”, said Dayu a little annoyed.

Senior servant Gaeng could only smile at the small debate that had occurred since earlier. No matter how forced Dayu was, Fan Jianying remained in her stance.

Although not satisfied, Dayu who could not force Fan Jianying to change clothes finally began to style the young lady's hair.

Again – again Dayu was upset by the young lady. Fan Jianying put away all the jewels that Dayu had chosen for her.

He only wore a red jade bracelet given by his mother-in-law and a soccer-green jade necklace with earrings he wore.

While on his head, he only wears a gold-plated konde skewer with a diamond-studded rose bunga motif around it.

And pearl hairpin with round diamond with a size larger than the pink pearl on the right and left.

Although not much jewelry is used and only use a green mint dress with a layer of gold thread on some sides.

In fact, it is not able to hide the natural beauty of Fan Jianying who also just apply makeup using powder and lip reddening only.

Without excessive makeup, the alluring look of a plain girl became the theme carried by Fan Jianying in the banquet made for her tonight.

As soon as Fan Jianying came out, everyone was fascinated with her entire appearance. The simple appearance tonight in fact does not reduce the level of beauty that is in him.

Bai Cheungpun was surprised and could not take his eyes off the beauty of the wife until Liam's hand made his consciousness again.

As soon as he woke up, Bai Cheung immediately approached the wife and clasped her hand tightly.

The two walked towards the main hall which will be used as a banquet place tonight with a friendly.

All eyes that look at the harmony of the young couple can only blush shy – shy.

Fan Jianying who was getting used to the purity of her husband could only resign to following the husband's throne.

Matriarch Bai and Lien Hua smiled happily when the two stars in the event were already present in the main hall while holding hands.

“ Cheung..you accompany your brother to welcome guests in front. And you are Fan’er, come here.sit beside grandma.”, said matriarch Bai warmly.

Madam Chou who saw the sight could only harbor jealousy in her heart.

After Fan Jianying's departure for treatment, Madam Chou thought that Matriarch Bai would be kind to her considering that she was the only – granddaughter-in-law in the current residence.

In fact, Fan Jianying's one-year departure did not make the old woman kind to him.

Madam Chou himself felt astonished, the various ways he had done so that the Impereal Restaurant could go bankrupt and out of business as long as Fan Jianying was not in the capital.

But what happened was the opposite. The Restaurant Empire was growing rapidly and gaining huge profits so that it could sustain the needs of the Bai family every month.

The servants who worked for Fan Jianying were also very royal and loyal. How madam Chou messed it up.

They still survived, even though Fan Jainying did not control them directly. But none of his employees who cheat instead they are getting compact and solid.

This dinner was filled with excitement and everyone toast each other, looking as if – was a peaceful sight.

In the guest area the noble women are seen standing in groups according to their respective associations – each.

As for the men choose to greet between colleagues who are intertwined and begin to form their own alliances.

If viewed carefully, from the officials present could be seen which of them supported the crown prince Qin Shi Huang.

And which one would stand beside the second prince Song Yu. Although everyone looks greeting each other and looks to have a harmonious relationship.

But the glare of the eyes that radiated could not lie. And it was all already Fan Jianying's picture in his mind.

Because this was the first time he had interacted directly with the officials and nobles present in the capital as a whole.

At one of the tables, the fourth prince Wei Jie seemed to be talking intensely with Bai Cheung, Disung and several other scholars.

While the second prince Song Yu did not want to give up the slightest bit of his supervision to Bai Wang and make him stay beside him.

In this banquet can everyone be seen trying to show their strength as the initial battle to show whose stronghold is strongest.

And for those officials who do not want to get involved in the palace dispute look more careful – hearted and choose to be neutral by not being too close to the two princes.

They usually prefer to mingle with nobles who do not enter the government structure, such as Helbert the owner of Yinheng Helbert or the Yanceng family.

Yanceng is famous as a great swordsman in Huangshan country who has had branches in almost all cities.

They are also the largest tax contributor to the state of Huangshan. For this reason, the Yanceng lineage absolutely no one intends to enter the system of government.

Because it is not profitable for those who have a mindset if with money can buy position and power why they have to enter into a structure that will range in danger so that whenever their lives can be lost.

During the banquet that night, most of the female guests' eyes were on Bai Cheung who today was wearing a bright mint-colored brocade with a feathered robe in matching color making her look extremely radiant.

Bai Cheung's every action and movement could not escape the sight of all the women who were staring at him hungry.

Although there was Fan Jianying there, but the noble ladies did not hesitate to give a seductive look to Bai Cheung.

A young general who has just received the honorary star title from the emperor for having successfully eradicated all mutated animals and their populations in the eastern border region of the Huangshan state.

The state of Huangsahan had no shortage of handsome and outstanding men, and in the banquet tonight there was still the prince Song Yu, the prince of Wei Jie, and the crown prince Qin Shi Huang and a few other easily noble men who were not less handsome.

But somehow the hearts of the noble women feel warm when they see Bai Cheung smiling and consider all the men – men in the room ugly.

Fan Jianying who was insensitive looked indifferent to her husband to be a hungry meal of noble women there.

He was busy with the snack buffet on the dining table and watched it intensely.

Trying to make what is served tonight right – really special so that he will not tolerate the slightest mistake.

Therefore, she checked all the preparations, even though Dayu and senior servant Gaeng kept reminding her to focus on the party, especially her husband.

But Fan Jainying's base was stubborn, her servant's speech was only considered wind then for her.For her, if her husband wanted to have an affair, no matter how hard she held back it would definitely happen.

Dayu again - again not satisfied with the mindset of his young lady who was considered too open. It seemed that it was not only Dayu who was dissatisfied with Fan Jianying's attitude.

Bai Cheung felt the same way. He even approached several times and invited his wife to sit down with him.

And when he was off guard, again - again Fan Jianying was again busy with other activities and away from him and ignored his existence.

" Just watch out!!!..I will definitely punish you later!!..", Bai Cheung's mind growled.
