“When did this Young Marquis Xie become so outstanding…” Feng Anning muttered.

In the past, although Xie Jingxing was also extremely handsome, it was nothing compared to him today. It was as if he had deliberately covered up his brilliance in the past. The current Xie Jingxing had shed that layer of disguise. Compared to Fu Xiuyi, he was really the person who should stand at the peak of the dynasty and look down on all living beings!

As soon as this thought appeared, Shen Miao was shocked by herself. She looked up at Xie Jingxing. The purple-clothed youth walked to the front of the table and met everyone’s surprised gazes. He raised his eyebrows and smiled. “I’m here to join in the fun today.” As he spoke, he walked to the table and sat down. However, he was not sitting next to Xie Ding, the Marquis of Lin’an, but Su Mingfeng. Su Minglang pouted and reluctantly moved to the corner.

Seeing this, Xie Ding’s expression immediately darkened. When the surrounding people saw this, although they were discussing it, they did not stop him. Xie Jingxing had always been such a carefree person. Most likely, he was really just here to join the fun today.

“Xie Ding has an extraordinary son.” Luo Xueyan’s expression was solemn. Whether it was a dragon or a worm, she had always been good at judging people. Xie Jingxing had a great bearing when he moved, and he made people feel a little dangerous for no reason. People who had been on the battlefield were more sensitive to that kind of danger.

“This kid from the Xie family is not bad.” Shen Xin was very satisfied. If not for the fact that he was from the Xie family, he might even be able to become sworn brothers with him.

The princes of the royal family looked a little gloomy.

This young marquis of the Marquis’s mansion looked too outstanding. Although he had not entered the royal court, they could tell that he was not someone to be trifled with. If they couldn’t recruit him to work for them, the sooner he was dead, the better.

The royal family did not want to see a powerful person from the marquis’s mansion.

At this moment, the eunuch shouted, “The emperor is here—the empress is here—”

The empress finally arrived while everyone was waiting.

Emperor Wen Hui looked like he was in a good mood, but the empress looked a little fierce. As a woman, she was quite beautiful, and one could probably see her charm when she was young. However, as she aged, her cheeks were sunken, making her look a little mean.

Because the crown prince was sick, this empress had always been very ruthless with the methods she used. In the past, after Shen Miao married Fu Xiuyi, her time was made very difficult by this empress. She had suffered countless hardships. It was also this empress who taught Shen Miao how to survive in the palace.

Everything in the past was fake. She came for revenge, but her final goal was to completely overthrow the entire royal family.

One day, she would sit on that throne again.

Shen Miao lowered her eyes and took a sip of tea.

Not far from her, Shen Qing also smiled, as if she was celebrating with Shen Miao. At the same time, she raised her teacup and took a sip.

The darkness in Shen Miao’s eyes deepened, and the corners of her lips curled up. This smile was different from a cold smile. Her eyes were curved, and her sweet appearance was extremely eye-catching. Even in the men’s section opposite, some people were stunned by Shen Miao’s smile.

Pei Lang had been staring at Shen Miao. He did not know why he did this, but it was as if there was something about this girl that had always attracted him. However, a few months ago, Shen Miao was just an idiot in Guangwen Hall. Pei Lang treated her gently only because he was her teacher, but inside, he had always looked down on her.

The empress sat down and the banquet began. This so-called joy between the emperor and the officials was actually just an act. The emperor was still the emperor, and the officials were still officials. Everyone made harmless jokes, pretending that the harmony would last forever.

Su Mingfeng nudged Xie Jingxing. “Why are you here?”

“I’m here to watch the show.” The corners of Xie Jingxing’s lips curled up.

“What’s there to see?” Su Mingfeng felt a headache coming on.

As he spoke, Prince Yu said, “Brother—”

His voice was neither loud nor soft, but the hall immediately fell silent. Clearly, everyone was extremely afraid of this fiend.

“I’ve already thought through what you promised me a few days ago about choosing a prince consort.” Prince Yu smiled strangely and said, “Since today is a joyous occasion, why don’t I announce my chosen consort?”

“I like Miss Shen,” he said extremely slowly. His eyes were like a poisonous snake, fixedly staring at the purple-robed girl.
