Travel Time: Yin Hua
51. Banqueting

The day came when the banquet to see the flowers was held. Empress Niulen invited the other royal princesses to attend the banquet.

The event began all the princesses were sitting waiting for Empress Niulen to come. Moments later Empress Niulen came with Via and princess Xiang next to her.

Even though Via was in a big pregnancy she still looked very beautiful making all the princesses amazed at him. Unlike the princess of the kingdom of Hyma and the princess of the kingdom of Orange who was surprised because they were people who met in the market.

"That's not the person I met at the market, so they are the daughter of Yin hua the noble wife of Zhou lan and daughter of Xiang the daughter of empress Niulen" thought princess Dima in her heart.

While the princess of the Jingga palace was very frightened.

"How is this" he thought.

Before entering the core event is to see plum blossoms that bloom beautifully the empress wants to see the talents of the princesses. Empress Niulen will all find a wife for her second son because Prince Aming always goes to make Empress Niulen worried about her partner.

"Please who wants to showcase his talent. For an appearance that makes the empress stunned will be given a gift" said the eunuch who stood next to the empress Niulen.

They also began to show their talent. When the princess of the Jingga palace wanted to display her talent Via and princess Xiang looked at her with dislike.

"I princess Jing of the Jingga palace will perform a sword dance, may the empress enjoy it" she said.

He began to dance but in the middle of his dance the sword he used was thrown and almost hit Via. The incident took everyone by surprise including the empress Niulen who was nearby.

Princess Jing was immediately frightened because she did not intentionally do so because when she glanced at Via, she immediately stared at him sharply making princess Jing afraid and directly threw her sword. The sword was thrown because when the dance part threw the sword he did not hold it properly and he was afraid when he saw Via with a very sinister gaze.

"What are you doing" said Empress Niulen angrily.

"Sorry my empress was completely unintentional" she said in fear.

Via who was about to get hit by the sword just silently looked at princess Jing sharply.

"Daughter is okay?" ask Jingmi

"Sister-in-law is fine" said princess Xiang worriedly.

"It's okay to calm down" he replied.

"What do you do is you want revenge for what happened in the market" said Princess Xiang.

"You're okay, dear" asked the queen.

"It's okay mom" he replied.

"How can this end my life, why should it be thrown like that" Jing's daughter thought in her heart.

"Sorry your honor, I was completely unintentional" he told Via.

"Have you come back to sit down, next time practice well dancing lest this happen again and harm others" he said coldly and slightly insinuating about his dance.

Actually if Via did not think about this banquet he had already beaten him but he was very concerned about his banquet. He did not want the banquet that the empress held in disarray.

"Then sit there" said the Queen.

Princess Jing was now looked upon badly by Empress Niulen so she was not very suitable to be made prince Aming's wife.

Next they took turns showing their talent there are dancing, playing musical instruments and so on. The last one that will display her talent is princess Dima.

"I'm princess Dima from Hyma's palace. I will perform a dance that comes from Hyma's palace" he said gently.

The empress was a little interested in him, she would probably be a suitable candidate for the prince of Aming.

Before starting to dance princess Dima slightly glanced towards Via and she was happy that Via gave a smile to her.

Princess Dima also performed her dance, all who saw felt admiration for her because she danced so beautiful and graceful. The empress who saw him was immediately amazed.

"Thank you" said Princess Dima finished performing her dance.

"Good good good, princess Dima's dance is beautiful and graceful. I will give this hairpin as a gift because the princess dance is very beautiful and makes me happy" said Empress Niulen.

Princess Dima also got the prize.

"Thank you, your majesty" he said.

"I will also give hadian to her, a cloth made of silk" said Via.

All the princesses became envious because they did not get any gifts from Via, not least princess Jing who was also envious and upset that she did not get any gifts from Via nor the empress.

"Thank you princess" said Princess Dima happily.
