Chapter 205 With bad intentions
  In silence, the carriage finally arrived at the gate of the palace.
  The carriage cannot enter the palace. There are many people today and there are not enough sedan chairs. Everyone has to walk to the banquet area after getting off the carriage.
  It was not yet evening, and the sun was about to set. When I got off the carriage, I was greeted by the heat wave that had been exposed to the sun all day. Shen Zhuoxi subconsciously covered his face with a fan.
  Shen Wanwan and others also felt hot. Although they were curious, there were many people around who also came to the palace for the banquet. They were worried about making a joke, so they didn't speak.
  At this time, someone called Shen Zhuoxi from a distance.
  "Huh?" Shen Zhuoxi looked for the voice and saw that it was Wei Zhiting. She smiled and took down the round fan and said, "Sister Wei."
  "I was still thinking that you wouldn't come." Wei Zhiting was dressed in light pink Lian Jinxiu and her face was like a peach blossom: "I just got off the carriage before we arrived, and I saw the carriage of your Taishi Mansion arriving."
  "I didn't plan to come." Shen Zhuoxi said truthfully: "But something happened in the Grand Master's Mansion recently. There are not enough people, so I came to make up the number."
  In the second half of the sentence, Shen Zhuoxi lowered his voice so that no one around him could hear it.
  Wei Zhiting also heard something, looked around, approached Shen Zhuoxi, and whispered: "I heard that Shen Xinyu made a big mistake and was sent out of Shengdu overnight?"
  Shen Zhuoxi nodded slightly and said, "That's true."
  "The Grand Master's Mansion has always valued Shen Xinyu, and she was trained as a Crown Princess." Wei Zhiting was even more curious: "What did she do that made the Grand Master willing to send her away?"
  "My heart is broken." Seeing that there were many people around, Shen Zhuoxi said, "Let's discuss this matter in private."
  "Yes." Wei Zhiting reacted and changed the subject: "You are dressed too plainly today. Look at the people around you. Who is not wearing red and green, looking as eye-catching as possible?"
  "I'm different from them." Shen Zhuoxi smiled and said, "Sister Wei, on the other hand, looks really delicate today, more beautiful than a newly bloomed lotus."
  "Mother insisted that I wear it." Wei Zhiting sighed. Seeing the crowd walking towards the palace, she held Shen Zhuoxi's hand and walked in, complaining in a low voice: "I know what the aliens are here for."
  "If I am chosen, I will have to leave my hometown. I don't want to."
  "It's okay. This first glance is just for the reception, we won't decide on the candidate." Shen Zhuoxi patted Wei Zhiting's hand.
  The weather was very good and it was a dinner party, so we set it up in the open space of the Imperial Garden.
  There were a lot of ice fans placed around, and the palace maids were spinning them all the time, so it wasn't too hot.
  Shen Zhuoxi and Wei Zhiting found their seats and sat down, just as Wang Yurou and Princess Yuqin arrived.
  "Hey, I haven't seen you for a while." Princess Yuqin sat down next to Shen Zhuoxi's left hand and said, "You seem to have taken a rejuvenation pill, your whole person has changed drastically."
  "What kind of rejuvenation pill? It sounds like Zhuo Xi is how old she is." Wang Yurou half-hidden her face and said with a smile: "A woman has undergone eighteen transformations, and Zhuo Xi is proficient in medical skills, so she will naturally become more and more beautiful."
  "You guys are just having fun when we meet." Shen Zhuoxi greeted the two of them and said, "I've been busy lately. I haven't seen you for a while. If you have nothing to do tomorrow, why don't you go to Taoxi Tower to sit down?"
  "It's still on the dining table, and you're thinking about tomorrow's meal?" Princess Yuqin said with a smile, "I don't know, you thought we were just foodies."
  While a few people were chatting, people gradually arrived.
  At this time, a young eunuch announced with a sharp voice: "The emperor has arrived, the queen has arrived."
  The place that was bustling just now suddenly became quiet, and everyone stood in order to pay their respects to the Emperor and Queen.
  Behind them were several concubines and the heir apparent of the Rongqiang tribe, as well as the little princess.
  After calling Ping, the emperor introduced the two people to everyone.
  The eldest son of the Rongqiang people is called Doza, and the little princess is called Dunzhu. Because they are from a foreign race, even though they are princes and princesses, no one present is required to greet them.
  However, the brother and sister still sat with the royal family members.
  Princess Yuqin whispered to Shen Zhuoxi: "Despite the geographical frontier of Rongqiang people, this young prince has tender skin and tender flesh, and is fair and clean. Standing among several princes, he is very energetic."
  "Why, the princess is interested in her?" Shen Zhuoxi laughed and joked: "The brothers and sisters came here just for marriage. You have a chance."
  "What? I don't want to marry far away." Princess Yuqin said coquettishly: "It's just a sigh. Look at that little princess. She has bright eyes and white teeth, but she looks darker than her brother."
  Dunzhu's skin color is indeed darker than that of Duozhu, but it is not ugly black, but has obvious youthful vitality. Her long black hair is braided into slender braids and tied behind her head with colorful ribbons, which is special and conspicuous.
  Moreover, her facial features are very good and her eyes are light gray, which is different from others.
  As if aware of her gaze, Dunzhu also looked towards her.
  It was the same as in Taoxilou, their eyes met, but the object was different.
  For some reason, Shen Zhuoxi saw a strange expression on Dunzhu's face. Before she could distinguish it carefully, Dunzhu had already turned to talk to the Queen.
  "What are you looking at?" Princess Yuqin looked at her intently and reminded: "The Queen is in that direction. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to look straight at her like this."
  "I just think this little princess is pretty, so take another look." Shen Zhuoxi withdrew her eyes and started chatting with Princess Yuqin.
  After they finished speaking, Wei Zhiting moved closer to her and whispered: "Were you looking at Dunzhu just now?"
  "Well, I feel a little strange." Shen Zhuoxi didn't hide it from Wei Zhiting, and said: "When the brothers and sisters entered the city in the morning, I happened to be at Taoxi Tower and met them from a distance."
  "But the carriage she was riding in was surrounded by gauze, so I couldn't see clearly. I don't know if she saw me. Her expression was a little strange when I saw her just now. I guess I was overthinking it."
  "It's not that you think too much." Wei Zhiting still lowered her voice in a low voice that only two people could hear, and said: "After the emperor introduced her, her eyes fell on the women's table and looked back and forth."
  "Not long after, the maid behind her said something, and she looked at you. I heard that the Rongqiang tribe's original intention was for her to marry His Highness King Yu, but His Highness King Yu made a marriage contract with you first."
  "I'm afraid the person who comes here is evil, so you should pay more attention."
  Wei Zhiting's father is the left prime minister, so it is not surprising that he knows something.
  "What are the two sisters talking about?" Wang Yurou came over curiously. She only heard the last sentence and asked curiously: "Who should I pay attention to?"
  These words must not be known to others. Wei Zhiting answered with a smile and said: "I saw that Zhuo Xi's clothes were a little thick, so I reminded her to be careful not to suffer from heatstroke."
  "The material of this dress looks thick, but it is actually made of cool ice silk material. Sister Wei's worries are unnecessary." Wang Yurou muttered without thinking too much: "A banquet like this is the most boring."
  "And based on what we have seen before, I am afraid that Dunzhu will perform her talent. After she has finished showing off, for the sake of Dongchen Kingdom's face, the Emperor and the Queen will definitely let us show off too."
  Wang Yurou really guessed it right.
  After watching the songs and dances prepared in the palace for a while, Dunzhu stood up and said to the emperor and the empress: "I have nothing to give you as a gift, but I would like to dance a song to wish the emperor and the empress great happiness."
  "I also wish Dongchen and the Rongqiang people better and better."
