The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
Chapter 182
The event of the Crown Prince's coronation banquet immediately began right after the Emperor and the others came to the main hall. This time there was a slight change in seating formation on the highest platform but it looked striking. That was because to the right of Queen Zhu, concubine Su sat down gracefully. As the birth mother of the Crown Prince, automatically her concubine status was only one level below the queen as previously she had also had the title of Honorary concubine. That was why the other Emperor's concubines became so envious and tried to find trouble with Consort Su in order to damage her reputation that the emperor would think that Consort Su was unworthy of sitting in that honorable place.
Lu Jing Yu and Pei Zhang Xi sat on the left side of Emperor Pei An Long. They did not come with Pei Zhi Hui as the baby had been exhausted after the event all morning until noon and it was currently time to rest. So the two decided to let him rest in their palace with very strict guard.
Musicians play their musical instruments very melodiously. Some dancers do their bodies beautifully. The fragrant aroma of food and wine immediately spread throughout the hall. Everyone's smile was seen on all the faces of the invited guests. But in reality, in the heart of everyone keeps so many things.
They were of course aware of the absence of Pei Liu Wen and An Jia Yun who were supposed to attend such an important event as the naming of Pei's son Zhang Xi. Moreover, the reason given for his absence was very strange.
It is true that even the walls of the palace have ears and a mouth. Everyone who had a high status in the palace always had their spies infiltrate the palace as servants or guards. With them, news such as the capture of Pei Liu Wen and An Jia Yun would be immediately obtained. That is why everyone who lives in the palace must be very careful in speaking and behaving. Or they will never know how their lives will eventually drift.
But even though they were all aware of Pei Liu Wen's arrest, no one dared to raise the topic for this matter at such an important event like the Crown Prince's enthronement banquet even the An family that was An Jia Yun's home origin could only shut up or they would get the matter if they messed up the event despite their standing in the palace could not be underestimated.
"Your Majesty. My father congratulated you on the appointment of His Majesty King Rui as Crown Prince of the Shao Empire. The Crown Prince has abilities and talents like Crown Prince Shao. I represent the Shixian Empire thank you very much for inviting our empire to attend such a festive event." First, Xian Zi Xuan raised his wine bowl at Emperor Pei An Long, then turned to Pei Zhang Xi. Getting the two people in front also raised their wine bowls. After that the three immediately drank the wine in their bowl with an invisible alkaline smile.
"Crown Prince Shixian is too shy. With a Crown Prince coming to be utu gwusan is a pride for the Shao Empire. The Shixian Empire is also lucky to have you as their Crown Prince seeing how capable and talented you are. Besides that Crown Prince Shixian was also very good in appearance. Crown Prince Shixian is single and does not yet have a single concubine in his backyard. It just so happened that the Shao Empire had some beautiful and virtuous princesses as well. If Crown Prince Shixian has an interest in one of them, Crown Prince ." Emperor Pei An Long uttered their stale bases very naturally as he had experienced for decades with it.
Emperor Pei An Long smiled as he said so. Actually, he brought up this topic not without reason. Since the start of the event, he had noticed Xian Zi Xuan constantly looking at Pei Shi Liang. Then as he looked towards his daughter, he was a little surprised when he saw Pei Shi Liang seemed to know that Xian Zi Xuan's attention was on him with an annoyed look on his face. His lips pursed with an ugly face distorted like a constipated person. He was sure that between his daughter and Crown Prince Shixian, there must be something he did not know.
As an Emperor, prioritizing the interests of the Empire he led was the most important thing compared to everything. But if he can give his best to his children, he will do it with pleasure. So he came up with the idea.
Immediately, upon hearing Emperor Pei An Long's remark, the three princesses who were seated one place with Pei Shi Liang became extremely excited. Xian Zi Xuan was a handsome man other than him having a noble status. Of course they want to marry him. If they had the opportunity coupled with courage, they would probably jump in and throw themselves into his arms without being asked. Yet they were princesses of a kingdom that would not be appropriate for them to look so aggressive. In order to hide their desires, they lowered their heads and hid a rosy face holding in shame.
However Pei Shi Liang had his own expression. He glared at her eyes in surprise. He quickly looked towards his father and found that his father was smiling madly at him. His father was not a person who would act without any reason. From then on he realized that his father must have been watching them from the beginning....
