"Then go, don't disturb my bath!"
"You can't even say you bathed in front of a man!"
"..." Are you going or not? " This person, was he finished?
Someone sat down on a bench. "Hair won't go!"
Do you want to sit or not?
There was a hot spring in the 'Moonlight Pavilion'. This was the hot spring hole Old Prince found when he was digging the foundation, and then he built a house on top of it. This was the place he specifically used to bathe in, although he wasn't in the capital, there was always someone cleaning inside the mansion.
Many princes imagined that they could get their hands on this place, but they didn't dare to ask for it. Among all princes, Yan Wuzhan was the only one who had the best relationship with Old Prince.
In his mind, this was the only thing that Old Prince left to prove his existence, so it was empty. He even let people manage the place fairly cleanly, and it was also very refreshing. In the end, he let Dongfang Ning, a foreigner, take advantage of it.
A few days later …
"Ning'er, can you reject the palace banquet tomorrow night?"
She had been having nightmares for a few days already. A few days ago, the matter of Battle King welcoming the Dongfang Nation Prince at the city gate had already become a beautiful story within the imperial city.
This was a joyous occasion for the Shan Nation. As long as the war really stopped, no one would be unhappy about it, so when she found out that the First Prince of the Dongfang Nation had arrived, she couldn't sleep soundly.
It was one thing if she could not sleep, but once the First Prince had left, everything would return to normal. Who would have known that today, Princess Anning's palace had received an order from the Emperor to come to the palace tomorrow to attend the Emperor's welcome banquet? How could this be okay?
So she ran to Dongfang Ning to stop her from going to this deadly banquet.
After a few days of recuperation, the person had already returned to normal, and handling of the family's matters still annoyed him. On the night that Third Prince was grounded, he was assassinated, and although he did not die, he had a reason to be framed, which made the Emperor, who liked the third son very much, soften his heart. Thus, after a thunderous rain, he only punished the mother and son duo for kneeling in the imperial buddhist hall for three days and three nights, and nothing more.
Of course, the results of the Emperor's actions would naturally make it difficult to investigate whether or not the empress and crown prince had joined forces to poison him. He could not produce sufficient evidence, so he was unwilling to disperse his family, so he simply found a few eunuchs and maids and killed them. Of course, whether or not he had other plans, no one knew, the emperor's heart was hard to fathom.
The only thing that was worth being happy about was that the alliance with Dongfang Nation was progressing very smoothly. This Yan Wuzhan was able to always help him settle all the difficulties he faced, and the alliance made him forget the severity of his son's regicide.
As long as the two nations opened their trade routes, not only would the Shan Nation in the future be able to fly economically, it could also prevent the other two nations from raiding. When the time came, there would be no wars in the other nations, so the "nail" like Yan Wuzhan could be slowly removed …
Thus, while his mood was jubilant, Shan Nation Emperor Yan Yihan also wanted to invite all of the officials to have a feast in order to welcome the First Prince of the Dongfang Nation.
The emperor had many sons, but none of them had an official wife. Only the crown prince and the daughter of Prime Minister Wei were engaged to be married, while the other princes only had secondary concubines for concubines and the like. This was an obvious sign that the princes were engaged to each other.
Of course, the noble sons and daughters of the nobles would also go to the banquet. The sons and daughters of those rich families would also be able to find their beloved partner at the banquet.
This was ancient times. Girls were not allowed to go out during normal times. For a lady to go out, she had to have a reason. There was no reason not to go out, and she would not fall in love with the modern world.
In this era, women could easily get gossiped about if they were careless a little. Their reputation was too important, and this was an injury inflicted on them by ancient women.
Thus, generally speaking, no one would let go of such an opportunity to show their face, while Madam Wang told her not to. Although she herself didn't want to go, the Emperor had already ordered her to do so.
"Mother, you were worried that I would disgrace myself and embarrass myself. Your daughter has grown up and knows what to do and shouldn't do. Don't worry …"
However, how could Madam Wang be at ease? A prince of Dongfang Nation … How could she tell Dongfang Ning that the only thing she was afraid of was meeting a prince of Dongfang Nation?
"You can't go, but you can't go... "Ning'er …"
"Alright, I'm not going. I'm not going, don't cry …"
Dongfang Ning's head hurt. 'Oh my god, what's going on!?'
"Little sister, this can't be. The emperor has decreed that if we don't go, it will be against the imperial edict …"
"Yes, second sister, this is a good thing, why didn't you let Lili go? Lili is so old, and she hasn't seen the world yet, so when we went back to the palace to treat the emperor, we were all scared. This time, she got a saint's pet, so as a princess, how could we not attend the palace banquet?"
In the past few days, Fang family's Third Elder had learned a lot from the palace maids and servants who had followed him. He had improved in his speech and spoke whatever he wanted to say. This Third Master of the Fang family was living a comfortable life.
"Boss, hurry up and persuade your sister!" Recently, Faang Tianzheng and his wife had also become 'respectful to each other'.
"In our Fang family, only Second Sister-in-Law has the most steadiness in her work. Since she said not to go, then there must be a reason for it. Don't say anymore!"
Over the past month, too many things had happened in the Fang family. Faang Tianzheng went out to interact with people everyday, and by now, he had learnt how to think.
"That's right. If we don't go, that's the imperial edict …" Madam Wang also could not make up her mind. She could not be too selfish and let the Fang family follow them as they would suffer the fate of having their heads chopped off. Thus, she started to hesitate again.
"It's alright, I'm going to pretend to be sick tomorrow. I'm not going, I'm not going. Let's do it like this, don't make the whole family unhappy over such a small matter, get someone to serve the food. Why hasn't Brother Faang Ann returned yet?"
Seeing that her whole family was worried about her going to the palace banquet, Dongfang Ning said that these people were too sentimental. Isn't it just a social event? If she didn't go, her life wouldn't be so serious.
