"You unfilial son! I've paved this road for you for more than twenty years. It looks like you're about to succeed, but you've always been soft-hearted. Are you still my, Huangfu Feixue's, son!? "

"Son, you are wrong. Mother, please punish me!"

Huangfu Feixue took a long time before calming down. "Get up. I know you're suffering. Choose a side concubine tomorrow as well. Besides that wild girl, anyone else is fine. Don't make any mistakes for me."

"Yes, your child is gone. Imperial Mother, please calm down. Your child will not let you down."

The imperial palace's feast was held in the imperial garden, and after exiting from the back door of the great hall, there would be the most beautiful garden in the Shan Nation, the imperial garden.

Dongfang Ning had entered the palace by herself. She wasn't the first one to arrive, nor was she the last. This was Madam Wang's request. People said you were impatient too early, and people said you were arrogant too late … In short, Dongfang Ning hated this kind of banquet.

Yan Wuzhan had come alone to attend the banquet, but he hadn't been able to see anyone for the past two days. No one knew what he was busy with.

She was the only one who was qualified to participate in this banquet, so she had no interest in chatting with others, only going around to admire the ancient scenery.

The garden took up about a thousand acres of land. There were pavilions, pavilions, fake mountains, flowing water bridges, ancient trees and rare birds and strange beasts.

It was a familiar scene to Dongfang Ning when she was browsing the scenery by herself. In the past, she was alone wherever she wanted to go, so now, she didn't feel awkward at all. She walked elegantly on a small path paved with raindrops and stones.

She pretended that she didn't see people walking past her, even though they were all pointing fingers at her.

"Look, who's that white-clothed woman? Why haven't I seen her before?"

"I've never seen him either. Be quiet and don't offend him …"

As expected, ancient women were very polite. No one they didn't know dared to approach them lightly, and they even hid far away, which made Dongfang Ning very satisfied.

Directly opposite the back door of the main hall was a twenty feet wide, colorful jade road, which led directly to the emperor's sleeping quarters.

The road surface was composed of a variety of jade jigsaw puzzles. The road surface was covered with auspicious characters, dragons, phoenixes, qilins, and other auspicious beasts.

The flowers, plants, and trees on both sides were all peerless treasures. In a lake that was crystal clear as day, all kinds of rare fish were swimming about freely.

The most amazing thing was that the four jade carvings were made from top-quality jade, blending with the scenery of the entire garden, perfectly blending in with the natural world. It was an extremely luxurious imperial garden.

"Yo!" Isn't that Princess Anning? "

Cen Shuang’er walked towards Dongfang Ning with a fake smile on her face. She was dressed in emerald green and had an exquisite plum blossom hairpin stuck in her pocket.

Behind her were two girls around the same age as her. They were similarly well-dressed, and one could tell from their attire that they were either rich or noble young mistresses.

Dongfang Ning didn't even spare her a glance as she continued to admire the scenery. She stood alone by the artificial lake, leaning on the railing. The freedom of the fish in the water attracted her gaze.

Cen Shuang brought her two cousins and stopped a few steps away from Dongfang Ning. She hated Dongfang Ning to the core.

Why was this country girl so graceful!

The temperament that she was born with made her feel inferior. It was impossible to fake that kind of temperament, so why was it that she, a wild girl, had it!

The two beauties beside her, on the other hand, were curiously sizing up Dongfang Ning. They were secretly praising her beauty in their hearts.

The two girls did not dare to be as rude as Cen Shuang’er. Their family background did not have Cen Shuang’er's domineering aura. The two of them stepped forward and half-squatted down to greet Dongfang Ning. "Greetings, Princess Anning!"

Only then did Dongfang Ning withdraw her gaze and look at the three of them. This Cen Shuang’er still dared to provoke her. She was quite bold. Remembering Madam Wang's teachings, she said to the two beauties, "You two need not be too polite, please get up."

Sensing the ill intentions of the two girls, her attitude was sincere, and although her expression was cold, it could be considered as a form of courtesy.

"Princess Xie, your clothes are so beautiful. I wonder which embroidery workshop did it? Look at this embroidery work, it's really exquisite. Look at the fabric. Aiyo, it's really noble …"

"You two are enough. How can a country bumpkin wear anything good? Let's go!" No one bothered to look at Cen Shuang’er. She was so angry that smoke was coming out of her hair. However, the time when Dongfang Ning had humiliated her at the city gate, her aura of imminent death had still instilled fear in her.1

When he saw her from afar, he couldn't help but mock her. He angrily rushed to her and realized that he didn't dare to do anything to her. She was already a princess, but she was still a princess. She couldn't afford to offend her.

He couldn't afford to offend her. The main issue was that he still had a program to deal with this wild woman, so he had to endure it for now. He couldn't let this matter get out of hand.

"What? Do you still want to fight?"

Dongfang Ning faintly glanced at Cen Shuang’er. She was indeed pretty, but she was used to being arrogant, and now she was being rude to her? In any situation, she, Dongfang Ning, was not someone who would be easily bullied, let alone in this kind of palace banquet. If she did not flare up, then wouldn't the empress call it 'losing face for the imperial family'?

"Fang Ning, you won't be happy for long. Let's go!" Cen Shuang’er didn't expect herself to be able to hear her speak so softly.

"Go straight to the name of this princess. Is this how General Cen teaches you etiquette? In a while, I would like to ask General Cen, what kind of teachings are you taught in Cen Mansion?"

"…" Cen Shuang’er's face turned red as she stood on the spot. She couldn't leave, nor could she stay. She thought to herself, 'Didn't this woman not like to talk? Why is she saying so much today?'

"What, you still aren't going to kneel down and apologize to this princess? Do you want to trample on the dignity of the imperial family?"

"Sister Shuang’er, quickly apologize to the princess. Please calm your anger, Sister Shuang’er just left a little too slowly and didn't have the time to greet you …"

"Qing’er, move aside. I'll do it myself!" Knowing that she was in the wrong, Cen Shuang’er went forward and knelt down to pay her respects. "Shuang’er was wrong when she said that. Princess, please punish her!"

"Princess, please forgive her this time!" The two girls knelt down as well. This time, they didn't squat, but knelt down instead.

"Cen Shuang’er, you have to thank you for having two good sisters. Otherwise, you would be disrespectful to the imperial family and would be able to enjoy this pot of wine!"

"Princess's teachings are right, Shuang’er won't dare next time!"

"…"

Dongfang Ning felt that there was no meaning to it. It didn't matter if she couldn't anger her, since she wasn't in the mood to play this meaningless game with these little girls.

"Stand up."

Dongfang Ning then swaggered off to play by herself, not even sparing them another glance.

"Big sister Shuang’er, are you going to play with Princess Qimeng? We won't be walking on the same road as you. We'll sit in the pavilion in front." That yellow-clothed girl called Qing’er didn't want to go with Shuang’er anymore, so she pulled her sister away.

"..." Did you guys get taken in by that mountain village girl? If you don't want to go, then forget it! " Cen Shuang’er stomped her feet in anger and turned around to leave. These cowards!
