Female Master: The Cold Prince

The Empress invited all officials above the fourth rank in the court to attend the celebration banquet.

There were many guests attending the banquet, so Feng Jun arranged the banquet in an open-air venue.

After Xiahou Jiuyue entered the palace, she went to the imperial study first, and then went to Yuling Palace to pay her respects.

In the imperial garden, at a secluded rockery, a man was playing a bamboo flute with a lonely look on his face. He was dressed in white clothes as white as snow, and his voice was pure and ethereal, like a banished immortal.

"Jue Shang, why are you here?" At this time, a man in purple suddenly walked out from the rockery.

Hearing the voice, the banished immortal stopped and looked at the person who came.

"It's quiet here, why did you come here?" he asked.

"I didn't see you at the party, so I thought of coming here to look for you."

He was alone and had no one to accompany him, and he was extremely bored. Wen Jueshang put down his bamboo flute and remained silent.

"What's wrong with you recently? What happened?"

During this period, he was always seen alone, looking depressed and unhappy. Sometimes he would run to Tianxiang Tower and stay there for the entire day.

He didn't say anything when asked, and he was almost worried to death.

"It's nothing, don't worry. I just have some things that I can't let go of." There was a hint of self-mockery in his tone.

It was clearly an agreement, but in the end, he was the only one who took it seriously.

“?” Gu Ziqian.

What's the matter? How come he doesn't know what he has to do.

"But is it related to the Wise King?" Gu Ziqian probed cautiously.

"......" Wen Jueshang was stunned.

When did he have any relationship with the wise king?

"Really?" Seeing that he didn't answer, Gu Ziqian asked.

"Zi Qian, I have nothing to do with the virtuous king, and this matter has nothing to do with her. Don't say such things again in the future to avoid misunderstandings." Wen Jueshang said with an unhappy and distant look.

Seeing that he looked unhappy, Gu Ziqian had no choice but to give up.

"Sorry, I made a mistake."

"Zi Qian, you..." Wen Jueshang.

"Jueshang, the banquet is about to begin, so we should go over there quickly." Gu Ziqian interrupted him hurriedly.

After saying this, without waiting for the other party's reaction, he turned around and left in a panic.

Wen Jueshang looked at his flustered back, sighed slightly, and then quickly followed.

When the two hurriedly arrived, everyone was already there, even the Queen Feng Jun was there, and it was obvious that the banquet had already begun.

The two were shocked. If they were blamed for this, it would be a serious crime.

While everyone's attention was on the platform, the two of them quietly walked around from behind the crowd to where the family was.

At the banquet, the ministers expressed their congratulations and compliments to the Queen, and praised Xiahou Jiuyue in various ways, which made the Queen very happy.

Feng Jun sat beside the empress and smiled along, and all the servants in the harem also smiled in a dignified and appropriate manner.

Several princesses took turns to toast Xiahou Jiuyue, presenting a scene of sisters being friendly and respectful to each other.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Xiahou Jiuyue felt bored.

She hated such occasions the most, they were boring and meaningless. From childhood to adulthood, she had only attended a handful of banquets.

If she wasn't afraid that her mother would be too embarrassed, she really wouldn't want to come to this celebration banquet.

Halfway through the banquet, many men expressed their desire to perform to liven up the party.

Drinking alone would be boring, but how could there not be some talent shows? Feng Jun was naturally happy to watch their performances.

To this end, he prepared a phoenix hairpin as a reward for the first place.

Having obtained permission, all the noble men put in their best efforts, vying for the first place, and stepped forward to perform.

Xiahou Jiuyue was speechless about this cliché scene and found it boring to watch.

These people always do the same thing, don’t they feel tired?

She felt like something was on fire and wanted to leave.

She was not interested in the group of men vying for beauty, and she couldn't bear to watch their shy dancing.

If this happened in the past, she would definitely say: Hiss! It's so ugly.

Ancient dances were simple, with the same few moves over and over again. There was really no creativity.

If these men were dancing hip-hop or jazz, she might even sit down and enjoy it.

Just as she was about to find an excuse to leave, a cold voice interrupted her.

"Mother Queen, I would like to take advantage of the Fourth Princess's celebration banquet today, in front of all the ministers, to ask you to grant me marriage."

The virtuous king Xiahou Nuanxi walked to the foot of the empress and knelt down, his attitude respectful and serious.

Upon hearing this, the entire banquet fell silent. The Queen's hand, which was holding up the wine glass, froze suddenly, and Xiahou Jiuyue was surprised.

"Oh?" The queen put down her wine glass and looked at her carefully with narrowed eyes.

In her impression, this eldest daughter has always been pure and simple, not fighting or competing, not interested in men, and she has never heard of her being close to any official male.

Why would he take the initiative to ask her for marriage today? And in such an occasion.

Throughout the entire banquet, everyone held their breath and watched this shocking scene.

The ministers stopped drinking and the men paused their talent shows, as they all wanted to see who would be the man that the wise king would actively propose to marry.

Xiahou Jiuyue finally became interested. She also wanted to know who the man was that Xiahou Nuanxi liked.

After not seeing each other for a few years, Xiahou Nuanxi is still the same as before, loving the color white and having a dull personality.

At this moment, Xiahou Nuanxi, dressed in white, looked like a banished god, with a face as cold as ice and a chilly temperament. She was like a flower blooming on an iceberg, whom no one dared to desecrate.

What an extraordinary and otherworldly ice beauty! Xiahou Jiuyue couldn't help but admire her in her heart. Such an ice beauty is not common.

"Your Majesty, the virtuous prince has now reached the age for trial marriage. It is indeed time to arrange a marriage for him." Feng Jun was the first to break the silence.

"Yes, Nuanxi, you took the initiative to propose marriage today, but do you already have someone you like?" asked the Queen.

She had never paid much attention to her eldest daughter and had never cared about her marriage. If she hadn't brought it up today, she might have really forgotten about her.

"Yes, mother, I have long been attracted to the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion. I ask your Majesty to grant me the marriage."

When talking about the person she loves, Xiahou Nuanxi's eyes rarely show a hint of tenderness, and there is a faint smile on the corners of her mouth.

“!!!”Everyone present.

......

As soon as she finished speaking, the banquet fell into silence again.

Feng Jun's pupils shrank slightly and he was shocked. He looked at the confident King with an incredulous look.

What was this wise king planning? How could she marry the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion?

The empress was also surprised. She knew the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, who was known as the most talented man in the capital.

He was able to write at the age of three, compose poetry at the age of five, and by the age of ten he was already a famous talent in the capital, known to everyone.

Not only that, he is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has a handsome appearance. He is a famous beautiful man in the capital.

This time, her eldest daughter proposed marriage so rashly that she was in a difficult position.

Not to mention whether the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion is willing to marry her, she can't even pass the Prime Minister's test.

Everyone in the capital city knew that the Prime Minister treated her eldest son like the apple of his eye. Who would dare to set his sights on him?

If she obeyed the eldest daughter, the prime minister might even risk his life to force her to do so.

She couldn't grant the marriage rashly, she had to think carefully about it.
