The Almighty Princess just wants to farm

Chapter 57 Before the Palace Banquet

The peaceful life in Zhuyuan lasted until the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.

In addition to the Spring Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival has always been a grand and grand festival in most dynasties of the year.

On the Mid-Autumn Festival, the king will first lead all the civil and military officials of the third rank and above to pray at the Qi'an Hall. Then, he will be worshiped by all the officials in the largest square of the palace, and then there will be a palace banquet.

In the past, Nangong Xu's legs were inconvenient, so he would not participate in these festivals and banquets, but this year was different. Not only did his legs heal, but he was also granted a marriage by the king. It could be said that it was a double happiness, and good things continued.

Nangong Hefeng failed to assassinate Dongfang Li before, and Nangong Xu took advantage of it. Naturally, he would not miss such a good opportunity for the palace banquet.

Of course, Queen Mother Xiao Lingluo also didn't want to miss this opportunity.

Nangong Xu was ordered to go to the palace to attend the palace banquet, and Dongfang Li, as the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion, naturally had to attend.

Early in the morning, before dawn, Dongfang Li was woken up by Aunt Liu and ordered to start dressing her up.

Dongfang Li got up helplessly and looked at the people waiting in the yard. He couldn't help but sigh, it was really hard to be an ancient person.

At this time, Dongfang Li probably misses the skin care products, cosmetics and magical makeup artist from her previous life the most.

At least she doesn't have to get up so early just to find the makeup and hair accessories that suit her best.

After a simple wash, Dongfang Li sat on the stool in front of her makeup, and the maids began to dress her up.

Two hours later, Dongfang Li's makeup and hair were put away. Looking at herself in the mirror, she felt like a different person. She couldn't help but sigh at the wisdom and ingenuity of the ancients.

"Auntie, according to the rules, I can only take Jiaojiao to the palace banquet today."

Dongfang Li looked at Aunt Liu who had been busy behind her, and felt a little unhappy, but she didn't say much. After all, she was just a concubine now, not even filling a house, so it was destined that there would be many things, many She could not attend any occasion, or even show up.

"Don't worry, Miss. I understand all these principles. I told Jiaojiao yesterday to follow you, stop running around, talk less and watch more, and don't cause unnecessary trouble to our General's Mansion."

"Auntie is interested, I will take good care of Jiaojiao, don't worry, auntie."

"Hey... the eldest lady is here, I'm not worried."

Aunt Liu turned around and went out. Dongfang Li saw her wiping away tears.

Before leaving the house, Dongfang Li called Lu Chuan over.

"What's the girl's order?"

Lu Chuan stepped forward and bowed.

"Lu Chuan, today's palace banquet, you are responsible for following my sister, Dongfang Jiao. If anything inappropriate happens around her, you must remember to come and notify me. If the situation is urgent, I allow you to kill first and report later. What happened? I'll take the responsibility."

"But girl, if I go there, you won't have enough manpower here."

"As long as I have Song Zeyu here, I can also take care of myself. Just do as I say."

Dongfang Jiao is a real eldest lady. Even though she has some internal strength, her three-legged cat skills are really not satisfactory.

"Yes."

"This is a detoxification pill. There are two pills in it. If there is an emergency, you and Jiaojiao can each take one pill. Don't even think about leaving them all for her. It's useless to take more."

Dongfang Li took out a porcelain bottle from the makeup box on the side and handed it to Lu Chuan.

"Thank you girl."

"Go get ready."

……

Outside the palace gate, carriages were neatly lined up at the door. Anyone who entered had to get off the car and enter on foot, and Dongfang Li was no exception.

After getting off the carriage, Dongfang Li took Chunlu, Xia Yu, Qiulian, Dongshuang and Song Zeyu and walked towards the palace gate step by step.

Before he even got close, he saw a tall figure standing there with his hands behind his back. He was wearing a dark brocade robe and a silver mask. You didn't have to guess who it was.

"I've met Prince Xu."

Dongfang Li stepped forward and saluted politely.

"Excuse me, why are you here now?"

Nangong Xu stretched out his hand and supported Dongfang Li's arm.

"I'm afraid I'll be bored if I come too early."

"You dare to say so."

Nangong Xu just wanted to rub Dongfang Li's head, but she stopped him with her eyes.

"In public, Your Majesty, you'd better behave yourself. I've been combing my hair all morning..."

Dongfang Li said the last sentence in a low voice, but he still heard it.

"Ali complained too early. The makeup and hair on the wedding day may be more complicated. I'm afraid Ali will have to work hard by then."

Nangong Xu was right. Now Dongfang Li is still a girl who has not left the court. She only has some simple styling of her hair on the top of her head, and it is already good to match it with some simple headdress and headdress.

On the wedding day, all the hair is tied up, so it will only be more complicated.

"I'm just not used to it."

"Today's banquet may not be stable. Ali needs to be careful. We are not married yet, so we can't get close to each other yet. But don't worry, Ali, I will always watch over Ali."

"Okay, you should also be careful. Your body cannot drink alcohol at the moment, and you should also pay attention to your diet. A little carelessness can become a fatal factor."

This is what Dongfang Li is most worried about and what he is most worried about.

"Ali, don't worry."

The two briefly exchanged a few words and then separated, one to the left and the other to the right, because the seats for men and women were separated.

Dongfang Li followed the palace attendant's guidance and went directly to Changsun Ruixue's table. Xuanyuan Zheng and Shangguan Chuchu had already arrived.

"Li'er, you are finally here."

Changsun Ruixue stood up and pulled Dongfang Li to sit beside her.

"I haven't seen Li'er for a few days. How are you these days?"

Xuanyuan Zheng asked with concern.

They were all aware of the rumors in the imperial capital a few days ago, but it was hard for them to talk to her directly about this kind of thing. It wasn't until Nangong Xu had someone explain it sideways that the matter slowly passed.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

"Li'er, I heard that you have been staying in Zhuyuan a few days ago..."

Shangguan Chuchu pouted and looked at Dongfang Li aggrievedly.

"Well, I have been living in Zhuyuan a few days ago, and the prince is also here..."

Dongfang Li looked at Shangguan Chuchu with a "Do you dare to go?"

"It's good that Prince Xu can accompany you now. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather turns cold, and I'm afraid there won't be many days when he can go out."

The speaker was Su Jianxi, who had not been seen for a long time.

"Well, the prince's health seems to be in good condition at the moment, but it's already dawn and it's indeed not suitable to travel."

Dongfang Li nodded in agreement.

"Jianxi, I heard from the prince before that Mr. Su was ill a while ago, but is he fine now?"

Seeing Su Jianxi, Dongfang Li suddenly thought of Mr. Su who suddenly fell seriously ill before.

"It's still the same. The imperial doctor said you can't work too hard and can only rest."

Speaking of her sick grandfather, Su Jianxi looked a lot more lonely.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine."

"Well, I know, my grandfather is still waiting for me to get married..."

Su Jianxi smiled bitterly.

"Mr. Su arranged a marriage for you?"

"No, my grandfather had this intention before, but I rejected it."

"..."

Everyone fell silent because they saw Su Jianxi's flash of despair just now.

It is a kind of despair for life, and also a kind of despair to give up the struggle.

"Okay, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and it will be straight when the boat reaches the bridge. We will know what happens next. If you want to drive a little more, don't be so persistent, everything will get better."

"really?"
