Arriving together was not even planned. As if having a strong emotional bond, stepping together entered the Palace. Stunned, a fitting word to describe the mimicry of all the Princes who set their sights on Yi Lan. The graceful princess descended the carriage while being assisted by the Second Prince, "Unexpectedly the female Swordsman who had difficulty walking regularly, could be this graceful, completely deceiving the eyes," said Prince Long Hue who clearly knows the true nature of his brother.
"You're right the Third Prince, Princess Yi Lan is very graceful" continued the Northern Prince who was also fascinated.
"You don't keep looking at him, it looks disrespectful and I don't like it" Prince Long Hueng replied
The Northern Prince only bowed as a sign of understanding while blushing in embarrassment.
They began to walk towards the Banquet hall, The Prince's dashing Steps in the company of a beautiful Princess as if adding to the impression of a great knight protecting the Princess.
Deepening the war strategy, even controlled by the Fifth Prince, they did not realize that they had done so even though they had only walked through the Palace Corridor. In the vanguard, Prince Li Shuiziong and Li De Lung started their steps without having a conversation, their gazes continuously focused towards the front. Prince Li Long Hue in the second row while holding Yi Lan's hand as a sign that no one dared to touch his sister in the slightest. The feeling that continued to fill his mind, no one was even allowed to look at his sister for too long. At the very end, as if to provide perfect protection, Prince Li Jinlong and Prince Khagan Beiduan stepped up while doing a light conversation, but remained vigilant.
Arriving at the Banquet Room, a smile from the Empress. Looking at his Five Children, a sense of pride mixed with hariu did not feel so fast their growth. Perhaps it was because she rarely met until the Empress felt it was too soon to see her five children mature.
In the presence of the Emperor and the Empress, along with the Consort Mother. The five Princes as well as Princess Yi Lan simultaneously bowed to pay their respects. From the side stood the Prince of John and the Princess of Judah, with a sinister face as if their bodies were filled with jealousy.
"How are you saying Princess Yi Lan? Was the trip fun? You rarely visit the Palace so Princess Youmei has no playmates" said the concubine, who began to speak ill of her hatred before the Emperor.
"My good news Mother, Second Brother has a lot of busyness so it is very difficult to visit the Palace, if you will visit again Yi Lan will accompany Brother Youmceii to play," said Yi Lan who also spoke stale, as if entering the game Mother Consort.
"Alright, since everything is here, I invite the Invitations to eat the dishes that have been provided. Today is the Queen's Birthday so please enjoy the celebration. And also to the North Prince, this is also a welcome banquet as well as a thank you for being willing to present in Our Kingdom. May the cooperation always be established," said the Emperor opening the Feast.
"May the Empress live a long life" said the entire invited Guest as well as the Royal Members, bowing towards the Emperor and the Empress.
"Thank you for everything, I'm so excited for this celebration, once again thank you. Please enjoy the celebration," said the Empress who was flattered by the words of all the invitees.
Everyone seems happy, but not for the opposition. Although their smile is always plastered in front of all the guests present, the strategy continues to run and always make sure not to fail. The four Princes including Yi Lan continued to read the situation, occasionally looking at each other, looking for answers together in the Palace Celebration plan which they thought was strange.
Everything has been finished enjoying the dish, even the celebration has ended, many Invitation Guests who have been saying goodbye including the Royal Members who are located outside the Palace. The five Consort's Children were increasingly confused, as not a single plan of the Opponent's Fortress was in sight. Now only the remaining members of the Royal Family, who still busy themselves to just talk.
Yi Lan was engrossed in enjoying the grapes in her grasp and no longer cared about the scheming problem that continued to haunt them. But suddenly Princess Judah came to him, "Yi Lan, it's good that you say goodbye. I'm worried about this Palace, if you continue to linger here, won't ... make everything have bad luck? Hah, I hope that doesn't happen," said Princess Youmiei venting her frustration.
"Sir Judah, I have memorized your words, is that the only sentence you can say? Hopefully I can see the improvement next time. Oh Yes, Brother Youmei it's good that you don't have to come to me like this. I'm even worried about you, lest this misfortune of mine befall you, wouldn't ...it would be so bad for you? If Mother Consort told me to accompany you to play, I would gladly agree to it, but ... will Brother Youmceii be ready to accept that bad luck?”
The daughter of Judaea looked at Yi Lan with a very upset face, as if she wanted to pounce on Yi Lan. Looking at that face, Yi Lan resumed her words, "Sir Youmei, you don't have to look at me like that, I'm just kidding. Do you want some wine? Take it easy it's just grapes won't make you shit, it's just .. Again I gave it, it looks terrible isn't it?" while giving the grapes in his hand.
The daughter of Judaea immediately distanced herself from Yi Lan, as if believing in Yi Lan's words about the misfortune that would befall her, "The Son of the Shit bearer," said Princess Youmiei as she passed away with a reddened face as it held back her anger.
"Repair your steps Brother Youmeii," continued Princess Yi Lan with a bewitching smile at the worry on Princess Youmeii's face.
They regrouped, having a warm conversation with the Emperor. As usual, Mother Concubine began her ruse, "North Prince, you are so extraordinary, your prowess in war is even talked about by many, many people, in view of your age it seems you have deserved to immediately find a Wife. Didn't ... You're the only future successor to the Empire in your Kingdom? You do deserve it, because your authority has been clearly seen. Is that really the Queen?"
"Yes that's right," the short answer from the empress while throwing a smile towards the Northern Prince.
"Thank you for the praise given," answered the Prince of Thyiduan who slightly blushed to hear the praise addressed only to him.
"No need to be confused. Oh yes, it looks like it would be very good if We establish a family between Kingdoms, so that Our closeness is getting closer. What if ... Our daughter Princess Yi Lan can get closer to the Northern Prince, the age of the adrift is not far enough, will not .... be able to get along faster? What do you think of the Emperor, please his consent," continued the Consort Mother who had begun her investigation.
"A very good idea, I totally agree to this," replied the Emperor who was also thinking of the same idea.
Seeing Yi Lan's gaze that looked sad and continued to look at her Four Sisters, as if she did not want the Idea that the Concubine and the Emperor created made Prince Lng Hu ⁇ grow furious, anger from his fist that he could no longer hide. He began to prepare to stand intending to raise his opinion, but his movements were restrained by Prince Kun-Yun who had stood up and spoke first, as if to dissuade the Fourth Prince from disrupting their rotten plans.
