âWhen did this Young Marquis Xie become so outstandingâ¦â Feng Anning muttered.
In the past, although Xie Jingxing was also extremely handsome, it was nothing compared to him today. It was as if he had deliberately covered up his brilliance in the past. The current Xie Jingxing had shed that layer of disguise. Compared to Fu Xiuyi, he was really the person who should stand at the peak of the dynasty and look down on all living beings!
As soon as this thought appeared, Shen Miao was shocked by herself. She looked up at Xie Jingxing. The purple-clothed youth walked to the front of the table and met everyoneâs surprised gazes. He raised his eyebrows and smiled. âIâm here to join in the fun today.â As he spoke, he walked to the table and sat down. However, he was not sitting next to Xie Ding, the Marquis of Linâan, but Su Mingfeng. Su Minglang pouted and reluctantly moved to the corner.
Seeing this, Xie Dingâs expression immediately darkened. When the surrounding people saw this, although they were discussing it, they did not stop him. Xie Jingxing had always been such a carefree person. Most likely, he was really just here to join the fun today.
âXie Ding has an extraordinary son.â Luo Xueyanâs expression was solemn. Whether it was a dragon or a worm, she had always been good at judging people. Xie Jingxing had a great bearing when he moved, and he made people feel a little dangerous for no reason. People who had been on the battlefield were more sensitive to that kind of danger.
âThis kid from the Xie family is not bad.â Shen Xin was very satisfied. If not for the fact that he was from the Xie family, he might even be able to become sworn brothers with him.
The princes of the royal family looked a little gloomy.
This young marquis of the Marquisâs mansion looked too outstanding. Although he had not entered the royal court, they could tell that he was not someone to be trifled with. If they couldnât recruit him to work for them, the sooner he was dead, the better.
The royal family did not want to see a powerful person from the marquisâs mansion.
At this moment, the eunuch shouted, âThe emperor is hereâthe empress is hereââ
The empress finally arrived while everyone was waiting.
Emperor Wen Hui looked like he was in a good mood, but the empress looked a little fierce. As a woman, she was quite beautiful, and one could probably see her charm when she was young. However, as she aged, her cheeks were sunken, making her look a little mean.
Because the crown prince was sick, this empress had always been very ruthless with the methods she used. In the past, after Shen Miao married Fu Xiuyi, her time was made very difficult by this empress. She had suffered countless hardships. It was also this empress who taught Shen Miao how to survive in the palace.
Everything in the past was fake. She came for revenge, but her final goal was to completely overthrow the entire royal family.
One day, she would sit on that throne again.
Shen Miao lowered her eyes and took a sip of tea.
Not far from her, Shen Qing also smiled, as if she was celebrating with Shen Miao. At the same time, she raised her teacup and took a sip.
The darkness in Shen Miaoâs eyes deepened, and the corners of her lips curled up. This smile was different from a cold smile. Her eyes were curved, and her sweet appearance was extremely eye-catching. Even in the menâs section opposite, some people were stunned by Shen Miaoâs smile.
Pei Lang had been staring at Shen Miao. He did not know why he did this, but it was as if there was something about this girl that had always attracted him. However, a few months ago, Shen Miao was just an idiot in Guangwen Hall. Pei Lang treated her gently only because he was her teacher, but inside, he had always looked down on her.
The empress sat down and the banquet began. This so-called joy between the emperor and the officials was actually just an act. The emperor was still the emperor, and the officials were still officials. Everyone made harmless jokes, pretending that the harmony would last forever.
Su Mingfeng nudged Xie Jingxing. âWhy are you here?â
âIâm here to watch the show.â The corners of Xie Jingxingâs lips curled up.
âWhatâs there to see?â Su Mingfeng felt a headache coming on.
As he spoke, Prince Yu said, âBrotherââ
His voice was neither loud nor soft, but the hall immediately fell silent. Clearly, everyone was extremely afraid of this fiend.
âIâve already thought through what you promised me a few days ago about choosing a prince consort.â Prince Yu smiled strangely and said, âSince today is a joyous occasion, why donât I announce my chosen consort?â
âI like Miss Shen,â he said extremely slowly. His eyes were like a poisonous snake, fixedly staring at the purple-robed girl.
