It was the evening when the next palace banquet would begin.

During the next Lunar New Year Festival, the emperor would open the altar in the morning to set up a ceremony and worship his ancestors in the afternoon. On the afternoon, when the sun set, he would ask Feng Gu Shen to bless him with the best of the best, and the emperor would have to busy himself until the evening when he finally had the time to do so.

The interior of the palace was bustling with noise and excitement. There were lanterns and decorations everywhere, and bright red lanterns were hung all the way from the side door to the side hall of the imperial garden.

This Supreme Palace was built by the late emperor to be used for pleasure. Once raised a bunch of music dancers, is the most chaotic place in the palace.

But right now, His Majesty was a coward and a coward. Afraid that the people would say he was extravagant, he shut the Supreme Hall down, and all of his concubines were dismissed or buried along with him. It was just that this place was indeed majestic, and it would be quite troublesome if they wanted to tear it down.

It only opened during the palace banquet.

This palace was not small; it was a three-way house. The two gardens were very exquisite in size.

Standing at the entrance of the hall and looking from afar, it seemed as if he had arrived in the fairyland.

Xi Mengyao came later, she painted a long face on her face, and then used a white cloth to cover her face, she could vaguely see the red lines at the corner of her eyes, but could at the same time hide half of her face, making others unable to see her true face.

When the Prime Minister saw this, he was slightly curious.

"Why are you using a veil to cover your face? Could it be that the young miss of my Prime Minister's Mansion is shameful?"

Xi Mengyao chuckled, and pointed to his own face, "My daughter was too excited to crash into the doorframe, and her face was scratched, so she came up with this plan."

Although the Prime Minister was displeased, he felt that was to be the case.

In the past, he had never brought this person to the palace banquet, so of course it would be like this today.

Seeing that there were indeed traces of red at the corner of her eyes, he shook his head and said, "She's still such a big person. Why don't you lower your head a little? A woman's face is the most precious thing."

Xi Mengyao nodded, but after hearing these words, she just wanted to roll her eyes.

The most precious thing about this girl was her face. She really had no knowledge of it.

The officials' carriages could only stop outside the palace. They could not enter the palace.

However, after entering, it was the people of the palace who arranged the palanquins to carry the people to the outer palace and stop them at the Extreme Joy Hall. This part had to be walked over to the inner palace and to the imperial garden.

Xi Mengyao didn't mind as she was used to walking.

The prime minister also knew the rules. When he got off the palanquin, he even carefully instructed her not to offend him.

Xi Mengyao didn't really listen, she didn't even know what she was doing here, she was just taking it step by step.

She didn't think that she would be bullied here.

Seeing her lower her head in silence, the Prime Minister took it as a yes and led the way.

However, after walking past two palaces, they heard the sounds of drumming and frolicking. After a little more, they entered the great hall that was as bright as day.

Xi Mengyao looked to her left and right, where the seats were arranged, and straight at the emperor's position.

Over at the official's side, there were already many people who had arrived. Most of them were people she had never seen before. She followed the Prime Minister over and greeted him perfunctorily before sitting down.

Seeing this, the Prime Minister had a cold expression on his face as if to say that if she dared to do anything disrespectful, he would immediately beat her to death.

Xi Mengyao did not reply at all. Instead, she yawned and sat on the side, looking drowsy.

At this time, Song Qian walked over and greeted the Prime Minister with a smile and clasped hands.

"Father-in-law is here."

The Prime Minister laughed, he replied with a bow, and just as he was speaking, Song Qian saw Xi Mengyao behind him, and could not help but frown.

"What happened to Father-in-law? Did you bring her along as well?"

"Meng Yao's face is still fine now. I brought her here to see the world. After all, she's my daughter, she can't stay in my room forever." The prime minister said.

Song Qian said yes repeatedly, but his expression turned even colder.

He could guess why the old prime minister had brought Xi Mengyao here, but he wouldn't let her ruin his plans.

This was the last Chinese New Year, and it was also to give a welcoming party to the princesses of the neighboring kingdoms.

It was said that the princess of a neighboring country was born with a very good face, a face that was rarely seen in the mortal world. As a result, her name was pretty, with the title 'Qi' and 'Yan' in her boudoir.

It would be great if the princess didn't want to talk about this, but there was something wrong with her. She couldn't sit on a wooden chair and couldn't walk onto a floor that wasn't paved with stone.

"What's wrong with that? Does she have hemorrhoids and chicken eyes?" Xi Mengyao sat down by the side and heard the story of Lin Kingdom passing through the Princess Qi. There were some questions in her heart, so she carelessly asked.

With this strange problem, could it be that wherever she went, she would have to bring along a golden chair, so that her servants wouldn't die from exhaustion?

The others all felt that he was a bit crude when they heard this and couldn't help but laugh to themselves.

When he clearly saw the speaker, the mocking laughter became even louder.

Not many people could recognize Xi Mengyao, but everyone knew her Prime Minister.

There were only two precious treasures in the hands of the prime ministers. The second daughter was a noble Third Princess and wouldn't sit by his side right now.

The remaining one could only be the reputed ugly woman in the capital, Xi Mengyao.

"Such vulgar words, I can't believe I heard them in this palace. This old man has truly broadened his horizons! However, if we allow our daughter to spout such nonsense, Prime Minister, it would be because of your unfathomable teachings! " A person at the side sneered.

Xi Mengyao turned her head to look and saw the image of the White Crane spreading its wings on his chest. She could not help but sneer in her heart.

When the Prime Minister heard this, he didn't feel very happy.

Although he was the Prime Minister, the person in front of him was the Tutor. Not the crown prince's master, but the emperor's teacher.

Even in front of the emperor, this person could still put up a front, not to mention that he was only the Prime Minister.

Even though he felt displeased, he could only sigh when someone scolded him.

After seeing Xi Mengyao, she was even more displeased and scolded loudly, "You can't even control your own mouth in the palace, how can you speak nonsense!"

"I am not spouting nonsense. Although you all think that her words are vulgar, but I am being direct. A neighboring princess has come here to flaunt her strength, unless there is something hard to say, I really do not know what she is doing." Could it be that a princess who comes along with her is trying to put on a show of force? "

Xi Mengyao only said that, but the speaker was not interested, but the listener had an idea.

She was right.

Although the first cousin was a noble princess, since she had been sent here, it would be more accurate to say that she was sending a golden hostage than a princess.

He was a hostage, but he also had so many rules.

If this was all done, then it would be better to say that it was Daqing's treatment of foreigners. To say that it was unpleasant, others would think that Daqing was extremely weak.

"Meng Yao is right, Tutor, we still need to discuss this properly. Although we treat people with respect, people don't necessarily rely on me." When the Prime Minister heard this, he was overjoyed. He immediately listened to Xi Mengyao and showed off her might.
