Quick Wear: Saving the Sickly and Paranoid Villain

During the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, the bright and dazzling chrysanthemums in the Hanyuan Hall compete with each other for beauty, and various rare flowers also bloom with charming colors.

In Qinyan Palace, Xu Meir was sitting in front of the dressing mirror, and a skillful palace maid was tying her hair for her.

The name of this palace maid is very similar to her personality, and she is called "Qiaoer".

Xu Meir has been recuperating in the palace for a long time, and she must go to this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

More importantly, she can meet Lu Yuhuai at this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

There is one bad thing about the ancient plane. As a palace concubine, she has to be bound by palace walls and treaties, making it difficult for her to find an opportunity to meet the villains.

After she finished dressing up, the palace maid came to report that Concubine Zhou wanted to see her.

Xu Meir nodded slightly and then walked out.

Concubine Zhou was waiting outside the palace. Today she was wearing a light green palace dress with purple agate around her neck and pearls on her earlobes.

The whole person looks gentle yet energetic.

"Let's go." At this time she heard the imperial concubine say this.

She raised her eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She knew that the imperial concubine was beautiful, but she didn't know she was so beautiful when dressed up.

The person in front of him was wrapped lightly in a light pink thin dress, and then covered with a layer of transparent white gauze. The folds of her skirt were as white as snow, and her gait was graceful and soft.

The whole person looks like a butterfly flying in the wind, or like clear and transparent ice and snow.

This beautiful concubine...

She looked away and whispered, "Yes."

Inside Hanyuan Hall.

The ministers came to the banquet with their families, and their usually naughty sons also dressed up carefully and behaved cautiously.

The ladies wore custom-made luxurious dresses, with their heads adorned with gold, silver, pearls and jade, and their whole bodies exuded a dazzling brilliance.

As for the concubines, they took the word "careful dressing" to the extreme. At first glance, each of them was a beauty, and a beauty of different styles.

The ministers and their families who were seated below had already taken their seats, and there were still a few empty seats on the high seats.

After a while, the queen came over in her gorgeous attire, and everyone bowed. After the queen sat down, she said in a dignified tone, "No need to bow."

The queen is no longer young, and her fine wrinkles are so numerous that they can no longer be concealed by makeup, but through her facial features, one can still see her beautiful appearance when she was young.

About a quarter of an hour after the Queen took her seat, Emperor Jian'an, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, walked in under the attention of everyone.

On his left was a young man in a brown robe. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and he was tall and mighty, which made people feel intimidated.

On the right hand side of Emperor Jian’an was a beautiful woman wearing a light red palace dress with a smile on her lips.

"Long live the emperor." Everyone knelt down in salute.

Emperor Jian'an was helped by a young prince to sit on the highest seat, and then the prince helped a woman in palace dress to sit on the women's seat, which was below the empress.

Finally, he walked to one of the men's seats and sat down.

"No need for formalities." Emperor Jian'an raised his hand slightly.

So everyone stood up and took their seats.

Afterwards, Emperor Jian'an spoke some more about the peace and prosperity of the country, and the ministers echoed him, talking about the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Great Xia Kingdom and the honest people's hearts.

Emperor Jian'an waved his hand and said: "It is the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone does not need to be restrained. I will enjoy it with all the people. Let the banquet begin."

Soon, the sound of stringed instruments rang out, singing and dancing appeared, people drank and talked happily, and the whole place was filled with joy.

The young lady who was attending the banquet for the first time asked her mother in a low voice: "Mother, who is the person next to His Majesty?"

Her mother also lowered her voice: "The one on the right is the Eighth Prince, and the one on the left is his mother, Consort Shu."

"Ah," the young lady was briefly surprised, "Why didn't His Majesty come out with the Queen?" She looked up at the Queen sitting on the high throne.

When the Queen saw His Majesty coming, she immediately stood up with a faint smile on her face.

"Little girl, stop talking and sit still." Her elder sister, who had already reached marriage age, covered her mouth. The little girl smacked her lips and didn't ask any more questions.

Seeing such a lively scene, Emperor Jian'an also smiled. Seeing the unfamiliar face not far away, he frowned slightly, but soon calmed down: "My noble concubine, are you feeling well now?"

Xu Meir lowered her head, looking very respectful: "Is your concubine feeling much better now?"

Emperor Jian'an nodded and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, go and rest. Come, give the imperial concubine the red blood coral that the Southern Kingdom offered as an offering last month."

Facing the envious and jealous looks, Xu Meir bowed and expressed her gratitude.

After seeing this, the prime minister and his group at the banquet felt much better. It seemed that the emperor still valued the Xu family and was willing to give them face.

This episode passed quickly.

Emperor Jian'an drank a few glasses of wine and his body gradually became hot. He put down the glass and inadvertently saw an empty chair.

He frowned and turned to ask the queen beside him: "Queen, where is the prince?"

The Queen whispered, "The Crown Prince was injured last month and went to another palace to recuperate. He should be able to return today."

"Yes." Emperor Jian'an responded and then stopped asking.

The queen picked up the wine glass and took a sip, her fingertips turning white from the exertion.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived~" As the palace servants announced, a figure gradually appeared.

The man was wearing an exquisite black robe and a white jade hair crown. He had fair skin, black hair, long eyebrows like willows, a gentle smile on his lips, and an extremely handsome appearance.

Many young ladies were gasping for air conditioners at the banquet. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was really handsome and looked very approachable.

Thinking of this, some young ladies who already had plans in mind blushed quietly.

"Your son greets you, father." His voice was as gentle and pleasant as he was, flowing like a clear spring.

Emperor Jian'an glanced at him and said calmly, "Okay, take a seat."

"Your son obeys your command." His voice was calm, as if he didn't feel the emperor's cold attitude, and he took his seat gracefully.

It was a coincidence that he was sitting right in front of the imperial concubine. When he raised his eyes, they met hers.

The imperial concubine had an indifferent expression. When she met his gaze, she showed neither the shyness of a girl nor the recklessness she had that night.

She just treated him as a stranger, tsk.
