People were coming and going at the entrance of the palace, and dignitaries dressed in brocade and fine clothes saluted and greeted the third prince Song Jin. Song Jin all nodded and smiled in return.
Those who can be invited to enter the palace are all imperial dignitaries. They all have extremely high vision. Naturally, they will not be moved by Princess Yunshang's beauty, but they will at least take another look at Princess Yunshang, especially those slightly younger men.
If Princess Yunshang hadn't been in front of the third prince Song Jin, she might have been surrounded by men who came to chat with her.
Tonight, Princess Yunshang is wearing a bright red dress, with three thousand black silk strands naturally draped on her shoulders, but there are a few strands of the same red ribbons tied up, and her hair and ribbons are dancing in the wind, giving her the original look and feel.
The innate noble temperament is even more obvious.
It's already summer, and she doesn't wear many clothes. A crystal necklace made of red agate hangs around her white neck. The red bracelet on her wrist and the anklet on her ankle are very eye-catching.
She is like a red rose blooming in summer, bright and attractive!
Princess Yunshang had never dressed up like this before. When she put on the equipment purchased by Xing Nan, even Xing Nan, who was already familiar with her, couldn't help but feel amazed when she saw it.
Seeing the envious looks cast by many familiar young nobles towards him, Song Jin was naturally very proud. After deliberately standing at the entrance of the palace for a while, he led Xing Nan and Princess Yunshang towards the palace gate.
Today, there are more than double the number of guards at the entrance of the palace than usual. Although it is a festive day, they all look nervous, as if they are facing an enemy, and they check everyone who passes by very carefully.
If ordinary dignitaries want to enter the palace, they must have an invitation, and they are not allowed to bring others in. Only those dignitaries with extremely high status are qualified to bring immediate family members, but they can only bring two people in at most.
As the third prince of the empire, Song Jin is the biological son of His Majesty the Emperor and the grandson of the birthday boy tonight. He is naturally beyond the reach of those powerful people. Not only does he not need an invitation, but he will not be inspected by guards and can even bring people in at will.
Royal Palace.
…
After crossing the palace gate, Song Jin took Princess Yunshang and Xing Nan in a familiar way. After several twists and turns, they finally arrived at the birthday banquet half an hour later.
Along the way, Xing Nan did not dare to use his spiritual consciousness, but his eyesight was not bad. He could clearly see many bright posts and hidden sentries, and he could also feel the powerful aura hidden in the dark places of the palace.
The entire palace is like being shrouded in an invisible net. Any slightest movement will definitely attract countless masters to attack in an instant.
The banquet site is not a large hall, but more like a large garden, with rockeries, pools, flowers, fountains, old trees, and lanterns everywhere.
Melodious and festive music played slowly.
Tables and chairs, made of wood or stone, were placed beside the flowers and under the rockery. Countless palace servants shuttled among them. They were nervous, serious and meticulous.
There were countless guests in the garden at the moment, and everyone was greeting each other with old and new friends, all with smiles on their faces, but no one dared to make a loud noise, and no one touched the fine wine and food on the table.
Despite the joyful atmosphere in the garden, there are countless soldiers with strong cultivation standing on guard around the garden. There are also countless palace masters inside and outside the garden staring around and at each guest with a solemn expression.
Some guests with distinguished status were able to be relaxed and calm, but most of the guests seemed very nervous and uneasy.
"Junior sister, please sit down for a while. I still have some things to do. I will come back to accompany my junior sister later."
Stopping in front of a round table, Song Jin said goodbye and left. As the third prince, he would not be idle today.
"There are quite a few young people here." Princess Yunshang sat on a wooden chair, looked around and said calmly.
"Haha, their parents probably brought them out to see them and let them know more about other young people."
, maybe this banquet will allow them to get married. For a banquet like this, the powerful will bring their young children."
"How do you know?" Princess Yunshang asked curiously.
"I read it in a book." Xing Nan replied.
"Is this written in the book? How come I haven't seen it before?" Princess Yunshang looked very surprised.
"You are a princess of a country, so naturally you have not read some wild books." Of course Xing Nan would not say that she had read these in books from her previous life.
There are many differences between the two worlds, but there are also many similarities.
While he was talking, two acquaintances came over. These two people had gone to Wuyin Inn with Song Jin. They were Ling Bin and Lei Hao.
Ling Bin has a melon-shaped face, fair and tender, a bit feminine, and a bit cunning in his eyes.
Lei Hao, on the other hand, has a square face, yellowish complexion, tall build, and looks more stocky and steady.
The two of them are close friends of the third prince Song Jin. They are both genius-level students of Shenglong Academy and both are in their twenties.
"You two are welcome and safe."
Ling Bin and Lei Hao came forward and greeted each other with fists clasped at the same time.
Princess Yunshang and Xing Nan stood up at the same time to return the gift.
Then the four of them sat down together, Ling Bin said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Third Prince is afraid that you two will be bored, so he asked the two of us to accompany you. I hope it will not disturb your peace."
"Senior Brother Ling, you're welcome." Princess Yunshang's face was very calm, "We are not bored. If you two have something to do, don't worry about us."
"What can we do to be busy? It's not us..." After Lei Hao finished speaking, he suddenly realized that his words were inappropriate and immediately stopped and smiled.
…
The four of them had only sat down for a moment when another man who looked young came over.
This man's face is fairer and tenderer than Ling Bin's, and he has a good appearance. He wears bright clothes and has a handsome appearance. However, he is still young, but his eyes are already a little cloudy. He is either drunk too much or has a hidden health problem, but he looks tall and strong.
, but the bones in his body are actually weak.
"These two are looking at each other very closely. They must not have been in the Imperial City before." When the visitor spoke, although he had a warm smile on his face, he kept looking at Princess Yunshang.
"We are from Piaoyun Kingdom." Although Princess Yunshang didn't like talking to strangers, she still replied politely. After all, those who can come here are not ordinary people.
"Yu Wenxuan, these two are invited by His Highness the Third Prince." Lei Hao immediately reminded.
"It turns out that I am a friend of my third cousin. I am disrespectful and disrespectful." Although Yu Wenxuan said so, his eyes were still looking straight at Princess Yunshang, and he was looking at her unscrupulously, with an obvious look in his eyes.
"It is rare, rare that a remote place like Piaoyun Kingdom can produce such delicate flowers."
Lei Hao, Ling Bin and Xing Nan all frowned at the same time, especially Xing Nan, whose eyes had narrowed.
"If Yu Wenxuan can call Song Jin his third cousin, he must be a relative of the emperor and has a very strong family background. But looking at him like this, he probably has very bad conduct." Xing Nan thought in his mind.
"How dare I ask the girl her name." When Yu Wenxuan saw Princess Yunshang was silent, he spoke again.
Ling Bin stood up and whispered: "Yu Wenxuan, to be honest, her relationship with His Highness the Third Prince is extraordinary. You'd better go to another table."
The reason why the third prince Song Jin asked Ling Bin and Lei Hao to come over was because he was worried that other young masters would harass Princess Yunshang. Now that Yu Wenxuan was coming, Ling Bin and Lei Hao naturally had to block her.
But Ling Bin's words made Xing Nan feel very unhappy.
The relationship between a girl who has already established a relationship with him and another man is unusual, and I am afraid that anyone who hears it will be very unhappy.
"What? She is engaged to her third cousin?" Yu Wenxuan asked in surprise.
"Uh...that's not true." Ling Bin paused and replied. He wanted to give an affirmative answer, but this seemed very inappropriate.
"Ling Bin, I advise you to get out of here as far away as possible." Yu Wenxuan's face suddenly turned cold, and he said contemptuously, "If you are defeated, don't show off here.
Yu Wenxuan, who looked very weak just now, now showed anger, and actually revealed a faint aura of not being weak.
Xing Nan narrowed his eyes even tighter and thought to himself: "This Yu Wenxuan is so secretive that he already has a king-level cultivation. He is only three or four years older than Song Jin. How can he be so good?"
With such a high level of cultivation, he is considered a rare genius."
"You...hum!" Ling Bin's eyes widened, but he didn't dare to get angry. He knew that he was far from Yu Wenxuan's opponent, and he didn't dare to take action on such occasions.
Yu Wenxuan didn't look at Ling Bin much, he focused on Princess Yunshang again.
"The girl's bracelet is so beautiful!"
Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed Princess Yunshang's wrist, as if he wanted to play with it.
Yu Wenxuan is a king-level master. He strikes very fast. With Princess Yun Shang's cultivation, it is difficult to dodge. Even Ling Bin and Lei Hao have no time to stop him. However, Yu Wenxuan's finger is still an inch away from Princess Yun Shang's wrist.
When he was far away, he was grabbed tightly by a big hand.
The big hand that suddenly grabbed him was naturally Xing Nan's.
"Men and women are not intimate, please don't be rude, Mr. Yuwen." Xing Nan spoke lightly, but his face was obviously ugly.
Yu Wenxuan then tilted his head and looked at Xing Nan. A cold look appeared on his face, and then he encouraged the true energy in his body to rush towards his wrist, trying to fight off Xing Nan's palm.
Yu Wenxuan's skill is not weak, at least Xing Nan is not in a special state, and his skill is far inferior to Yu Wenxuan's.
call!
There was a surge of momentum, and Xing Nan's palm was blown away.
However, Princess Yunshang had already stood up and was behind Xing Nan. She still looked at Yu Wenxuan calmly, but there was obvious disdain on her pretty face.
"Yu Wenxuan, don't forget what day it is today. If you dare to be presumptuous, even your father may not be able to protect you." Lei Hao reminded in a deep voice.
Yu Wenxuan smiled and looked unconcerned, but he could clearly feel that some extremely powerful spiritual consciousness had locked onto him at this moment, so he flicked his sleeves and Shi Shiran walked away.
, but before turning around, he showed an intriguing smile to Xing Nan.
