Koi farmer's daughter wants to get rich

Chapter 111
Mu Shengyan couldn't think of a way, and the emperor never explicitly asked Mingxia to make a marriage.

Everything seemed to have never happened, and calm was quickly restored.

On this day, the emperor held a banquet in Chaoyang Palace to welcome the envoys of Wei State. Mu Shengyan and Fang Xiling also received messages asking them to attend the reception banquet.

Fang Xiling has never attended a royal banquet before, so she is still looking forward to tomorrow's banquet.

After finally surviving until dusk, Fang Xiling changed into the costume of the princess, and was about to go to the palace with Mu Shengyan for a banquet.

Behind the canary screen, a graceful figure came to the crowd with lotus steps. They saw her wearing a light pink woven flower and colorful show palace dress, and on her head was a golden phoenix hairpin bestowed by the emperor with pearls and silk. The golden treasure pipa earrings between the ears swayed gently with her footsteps.

Fang Xiling today is like a fairy in the sky, a goddess in a painting.

Looking at her current appearance, no one would have guessed that she was a disgraced country girl two years ago.

Mu Shengyan brought Fang Xiling to Zhaoyang Hall of Chaoyang Palace, where the emperor held a banquet.

When they arrived, there were already many people sitting in the main hall, all of whom were important officials and their wives.

Mu Shengyan confessed to Fang Xiling in a low voice before going to the banquet on the left.

Fang Xiling, on the other hand, followed the other female relatives to sit on the right side, and her seat was arranged in the third row in the second row.

The seats at the royal banquet were arranged according to rank. Although Fang Xiling was the princess, he was not a member of the royal family, so he could only sit in the second row.

But Fang Xiling didn't care about this, she just felt that she was out of place among these noble girls.

She looked around and found that many Miss Gaomen came today.

These young ladies are usually out of the gate, why are they all out today.

Fang Xiling was alone with nothing to do, so she looked around, wanting to see if she knew any of the people who came today.

"Eldest Princess, Princess Mingxia is here!" Following the shout of the servant, a lady in her forties came outside the door. Her demeanor was demure and elegant, and her elegant gown showed her dignity even more.

The stunning beauty followed by the noble lady had a slight sick look on her face. Today she was wearing a palace dress of flowing color, dark flowers, lotus root and lotus, with only a little emerald inlaid pearl head flower on her head. She looked extremely elegant, Not as bright and beautiful as she used to be.

Mingxia felt Fang Xiling's gaze, she glanced at it lightly and then quickly withdrew her gaze.He followed his mother to the first seat on the right.

Fang Xiling's seat was not too far away from her, but it was just behind her.

Fang Xiling felt bored, when the emperor and queen came.They were followed by Wei Guoshizi Xiao Yi and other envoys.

Several people took their seats, and the banquet officially began.

Looking at the delicious food in front of him, most of Fang Xiling's boredom dissipated immediately.

The banquet given by the emperor was really good, pearl meat, hibiscus chicken, stewed old duck with red ginseng...every dish was delicious.

Fang Xiling had no scruples and ate happily.Suddenly, she felt a piercing gaze looking at her, and when she raised her head suddenly, she saw Xiao Yi looking at her with a smile in his eyes.

The man gently picked up the wine glass on the table and made a toast gesture in her direction.

His action scared the chopsticks in Fang Xiling's hand to the ground.

I used ivory chopsticks today, and there was a clang that attracted everyone present to look at the source of the sound.

Fang Xiling was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground.

Mu Shengyan was about to speak out to help her out, but Princess Mingxia spoke first.

"Isn't this the newly-appointed Princess Showa? Oh, why did the princess sit in the second row? You are the hero who brought down the rebellious officials and thieves. Who arranged the seat of Princess Showa?" Mingxia glared. Looking at the palace servants present, he said sharply, "You don't wink, do you think Miss Fang is a country girl from that savage land?"

Princess Mingxia seemed to be speaking for Fang Xiling, but in fact she wanted Fang Xiling to make a fool of herself in public because of her embarrassing status.

Unexpectedly, Fang Xiling did not feel embarrassed when she heard her words. Instead, she smiled and said generously, "Thank you, Princess Mingxia, for fighting my injustice. The emperor allowed me, a commoner woman, to come to Chaoyang Palace to participate in such a grand banquet. This is the emperor's benevolent heart. Those sitting here are all the family members of important officials in the court, and their families have devoted themselves to my Great Xia. They should be in the front seat, and there is nothing wrong with me living here."

As soon as Fang Xiling said this, the curiosity of everyone sitting here increased a bit. This woman has no clear relationship with Mu Shengyan, and it is said that she is related to the fifth prince. Now it seems that this woman is really powerful!
"Okay, well said!"

After hearing this, Xiao Yi laughed out loud regardless of his image.

"Oh, I see that Xiao Shizi is satisfied with Princess Zhaohe's statement?" Ye Shaoqiu glanced at Xiao Yi.

This person always had a mysterious look, and he always said one point and three points in his words, making it hard for people to see through, but he never left Fang Xiling's eyes since he entered the door, and he didn't hide his thoughts from her.

Ye Shaoqiu glanced at Mu Shengyan. Mu Shengyan's face was ugly. He was staring at Xiao Yi fiercely. I'm afraid he already understood Xiao Yi's thoughts.

"Heh, Prince Xiao just came to the capital. I'm afraid he still doesn't understand the many rules of my Great Xia. I advise the prince to observe more before speaking."

Fang Xiling looked at Mingxia in surprise, she never knew that Mingxia was so eloquent.

"Really? What Princess Mingxia said is that I need to understand more." Xiao Yi was not angry, but turned to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I think your princess is very right. .I came here this time, following the orders of our Emperor Wei, to make peace with Daxia. Therefore, I want to learn more about Daxia's folk customs."

No one knew what the hell Xiao Yi was up to. When his eyes fell on Fang Xiling, she felt a chill.

"So, Your Majesty, I want you to send someone to help me learn more about Daxia folk customs." Xiao Yi continued.

"Okay, what your son said is good. Great Xia and Wei are good neighbors and friendly. Our people in Daxia are simple and honest. Your son should know more about it. Then let the fifth prince come..."

"Your Majesty, I want Princess Zhaohe to accompany me."

Xiao Yi interrupted Ye Shaoqiu, and Mu Shengyan interrupted him again.

"No."

Mu Shengyan said coldly.

"Oh, Mr. Mu, why not, please explain." Xiao Yi's face darkened instantly.

"Princess Zhaohe is my unmarried wife. She can't accompany the son. Please choose someone else." Mu Shengyan understood Xiao Yi's meaning, and he was afraid that the person he wanted to marry was not Mingxia but Fang Xiling.

"Hmph, you also said that if she is your unmarried wife, then she is not your wife. She hasn't spoken yet, so what right do you have to say no?"

Xiao Yi's attitude was very arrogant. After speaking, he looked at Fang Xiling, as if he was waiting for her answer.
