It took a full month and a half for the canonization edict to travel from the imperial city to Kyoto. When the angel came in with the imperial edict, the palace had already set up incense to welcome him.

Eunuch Zhou said solemnly, "Jiang Xuening stepped forward to receive the order!"

Jiang Xuening took a step forward and knelt down with a calm expression, "My maid accepts the order."

Eunuch Zhou opened the imperial edict: "By the fate of heaven, the emperor decrees that Jiang Xuening, the daughter of the King of Qingzhou, has outstanding grace, smart temperament, and extraordinary appearance. She is specially canonized as Princess Mingyue. I appreciate this!"

Jiang Xuening received the imperial edict respectfully, "My lord, thank you for your kindness!"

Eunuch Zhou looked at her appearance carefully, wanting to see what there was about this newly minted princess that the queen should be afraid of, and wanted to specifically ask him to pay attention to it.

Jiang Xuening stood up, met his obviously sizing eyes, bared her teeth and smiled, "Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law."

Eunuch Zhou's teeth were sore from her laughter. Such an ordinary-looking woman could not compare to the Queen's hair.

Qing He on the side stepped forward and stuffed a large purse according to the rules. Eunuch Zhou accepted it with satisfaction, turned around and came to the small wooden box held by the young eunuch, "This is a gift from the queen to congratulate the princess."

Jiang Xuening took it and bowed again with a low eyebrow, "I thank you, the Queen."

Lin Fu smiled and greeted her politely, then ordered someone to take them down to rest.

Lin Fu glanced at the imperial edict in her hand and said, "Now that the dust has settled, it's time to hold a grand banquet according to the rules."

"There's no rush." ​​Jiang Xuening said quietly, with no hint of excitement in her expression.

She didn't even look at the things Xiao Shujin gave her and asked Qinghe to put the box away.

Everyone outside was waiting to catch a glimpse of Princess Mingyue, but Jiang Xuening announced that she had contracted the cold and was recuperating behind closed doors.

Eunuch Zhou was naturally not allowed to enter a girl's boudoir, so he was unable to see Jiang Xuening for a second time until he left.

Jiang Xuening recovered from her illness after he left.

Qinghe said after realizing it, "Miss, did you do this on purpose?"

Jiang Xuening said lazily, "No one in the palace is easy to deal with. I'm too lazy to deal with them."

As soon as she said she was cured, Concubine Zuo immediately came to the door and said, "When are you going to show up? Sooner or later you have to meet someone."

"It's all fine, you just have to look at the arrangements." Jiang Xue looked down at her skin, which had become a little whiter and was still dark.

If you only look at her appearance, her current appearance is destined to disappoint everyone.

She touched her face, but her skin was not that important. And she knew that this face would return to its original appearance sooner or later. I don’t know how many people will have nightmares by then, but I’m really looking forward to it when I think about it.

Concubine Zuo saw that she was distracted while touching her face, so she reluctantly comforted her, "Don't worry, you can dress up when the time comes and you'll still be able to see."

Jiang Xuening, "Thank you, I'm not worried at all."

Concubine Zuo said I don’t believe it written all over her face!

After Jiang Xuening nodded, the banquet was quickly organized. The concubine on the left is very comfortable with it, so there is no need for her to worry at all.

The banquet was held in the Lingyun Hall, the largest palace in the palace. It was not taboo for men and women to feast together. Of course, everyone who could attend was either rich or noble, and would not be rude on such an occasion.

As half of the hostess, the left concubine personally received the female guests.

The male guests were received by Zuo Musheng, which made people think wildly.

After all, in the previous battle in Fenglin, it was Zuo Musheng who led three thousand light cavalry to escort Jiang Xuening back to the palace.

There was a lot of talk about Zuo Musheng's intention to marry into the family, but his behavior today made the rumors more solid.

The banquet quickly became lively, and the male guests were all concerned about how Jiang Xuening's appearance would change the situation.

The girls and ladies are more concerned about whether the marriage between the two is true or false.

When everyone had almost arrived, the left concubine whispered, "Go and invite the prince and princess to come over."

In the expectant eyes of everyone, Lin Fu walked out first, wearing cloud-forged brocade clothes, majestic and extraordinary.

It's a pity that he is not destined to be the focus tonight. Everyone's eyes are looking past him and behind him.

The girl behind him was wearing a long black skirt that swept the floor. The black skirt was embroidered with the gorgeous flowers of the other side. Her expression was pale, her skin was slightly dark, and her eyes were cold.

Under the gaze of everyone, Jiang Xuening walked to the top position with her chin slightly raised and sat next to Lin Fu.

She raised her head under the light and quietly scanned the crowd below. There was no wave in his eyes, but there was an aura of looking down on the world, and his aura had a sense of oppression.

There was a moment of silence in the lively banquet. No one expected that the rumored Princess Mingyue would be like this.

As soon as he showed up, he showed his sharp edge, with unconcealed energy and ambition.

The old foxes sitting at the front looked at each other, and their expressions became heavy.

Having such an ambitious and ruthless princess is definitely not a good thing for their big families.

Jiang Xuening saw everyone's expressions in her eyes and raised her glass calmly, "I respect you all and thank you all for coming to congratulate me on my canonization as a princess. I will definitely shoulder the responsibilities of a princess in the future!"

This statement has profound meaning, but the greater the responsibility, the greater the power in the hand.

For a moment, no one raised a toast, and no one spoke.

Jiang Xuening smiled slightly, "It seems that I, the princess, are very unpopular."

Zuo Musheng was the first to raise his glass, "The princess is joking."

Others also raised their glasses. Even though they were dissatisfied with her strength and ambition, Lin Fu was still watching. Now was not the time to fall out.

Jiang Xuening drank all the wine in the cup and stopped talking. But her presence is so strong that it is impossible to ignore her just sitting there.

The concubine on the left spoke with a wink to stir up the atmosphere, and the ladies' table became lively.

The atmosphere at the men's table was still silent. The man in blue with unruly eyebrows raised his glass to Jiang Xuening provocatively and asked, "I heard that the princess killed many people in Maple Forest more than two months ago. It's not good to waste people's lives in this way, isn't it? ."

The atmosphere, which had finally warmed up, returned to freezing point.

Jiang Xuening smiled coldly, "Anyone who dares to offend me will be punished. There is nothing wrong with that."

The man refused and said, "As the princess, your influence is not good, aren't you afraid of retribution?"

This was a clear test and provocation, but Lin Fu had no intention of speaking. If she can't handle this. She was also unsure of her position as the princess.

Jiang Xuening narrowed her eyes, "Young Master Shen is joking, you have done a lot of things like killing a whole family. If you want bad retribution, you will go to hell first."

Shen Tingsi's eyes flashed with murderous intent, "The princess deserves to be born in the Gu family, and she speaks domineeringly."

Jiang Xuening looked stern, put down the wine glass in her hand, raised her chin, and said, "Come here."

Shen Tingsi strode over and looked at her unscrupulously. The malice in his eyes could hardly be hidden.
