Chapter 272 - 272 Foreign Princess
272 Foreign Princess
“Uncle Emperor won’t ask about the concubines who were sent to prison. It’s possible that they escaped with someone’s help,” Jiang Ying said with a frown.
“It’s possible, but how can someone like Meng Lang have the ability to fish Consort Xian out? Moreover, it seems that Consort Xian is deliberately trying to please Meng Lang,” Ning Yue said.
Jiang Ying nodded. “We have to investigate carefully. There must be something we don’t know.”
Ning Yue watched as Meng Lang held Consort Xian’s waist and lowered his head to talk to her. Consort Xian smiled shyly from time to time.
Oh my god! Ning Yue almost widened her eyes. The way Consort Xian treated her in the palace was very different from now.
Ning Yue swallowed and took a handkerchief to cover her face, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes.
Jiang Ying looked at Ning Yue in confusion. “Yueyue, why are you covering your face?”
Ning Yue did not say anything. She suddenly felt very unhappy.
Fortunately, these two did not see her.
“Let’s go to Fortune Pavilion to eat.” Ning Yue pulled Jiang Ying to Fortune Pavilion.
Today was the Lantern Festival. Although Ning Yue did not let all the employees take a break, she still let everyone take a break in shifts.
Employees who did not have a holiday could take advantage of the return of those employees who were on holiday to take a break.
Actually, it was rare in ancient times to let everyone go home to accompany their families during the holidays. The shopkeeper and employees were especially touched and swore to follow Ning Yue to the death.
There were many employees on leave these days, so Ning Yue and Jiang Ying came over personally.
To their surprise, King Yu had arrived! King Yu was the emperor’s youngest brother and Jiang Ying’s uncle.
He had actually come directly to Jiang Ying’s territory!
“Jiang Ying, don’t you know how to greet Uncle when you see him?” King Yu asked.
“Greetings, Uncle Yu,” Jiang Ying said.
“Yes, how obedient. I’m just here to eat. I’ll go back after eating. Jiang Ying won’t not welcome me, right?” King Yu asked again.
“I wouldn’t dare. Uncle Yu, please go upstairs.” Jiang Ying gestured for him to go upstairs to Ning Yue’s private room.
He said to Ning Yue, “Yueyue, go home and wait for me. I’ll take care of Uncle Yu.”
Jiang Ying didn’t look too good. Ning Yue didn’t say anything about this and agreed to go back first.
Ning Yue waited for a long time before Jiang Ying returned.
“Uncle Emperor called Uncle Yu over. He’s here to announce a decree to me.” Jiang Ying sighed faintly.
So that was the case. Ning Yue heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that it was not a big deal. After all, it was a big deal for a prince to move from his fief to another prince’s fief.
Jiang Ying suddenly said, “The Three Kingdoms Festival will begin in a few days. The organizer of this Three Kingdoms Festival is the Great Yun Nation. The opening and closing ceremonies are in the capital.”
Ning Yue was stunned. There was an opening ceremony and closing ceremony for the Three Kingdoms Festival?
“Yueyue, can you come with us?” Jiang Ying asked again.
“When?” Ning Yue asked.
“In ten days, we’ll go together before the opening ceremony. After the opening ceremony, I’m going to bring the people of the other two countries to the location of the Three Kingdoms Festival,” Jiang Ying said.
“Alright, after the Three Kingdoms Festival, I’m going to Luzhou with my parents,” Ning Yue said.
Ning Yue had set her trip to Luzhou in a month. No matter what, she had to wait until after the Three Kingdoms Festival.
Five days before the opening of the Three Kingdoms Festival, Ning Yue and Jiang Ying were about to set off from Laifu Village.
After resting in the capital for a day and night, they were going to the palace to attend a banquet before the opening ceremony.
As the Three Kingdoms Festival had a banquet, the commoners also wanted to see the commotion and what the people of the other two countries looked like. All of them watched from afar by the roadside.
Ning Yue lifted the curtain and took a look for a while before she heard cries of surprise.
“Is that Princess Mingyue? She’s really good-looking!”
“Yes, that’s Princess Mingyue. She’s so beautiful!”
“Like a fairy!”
…
When Ning Yue heard this, she couldn’t help but laugh. Just like modern celebrities on the streets, she attracted a group of people to watch.
After arriving at the palace, everyone waited in the hall.
The ministers were also exchanging pleasantries. Some familiar girls were whispering to each other.
Ning Yue took a deep breath. She felt that she was not suitable for this occasion. Other than Jiang Ying, there was no one else she could talk to. She simply stood quietly at the side.
Suddenly, the hall fell silent. Ning Yue followed everyone’s gaze.
