...Will it still be within the four regions of Kyushu?
Shouldn't it be...
Apart from her memories, the only people Luo Xue had seen now were the old etiquette officer and the maids.
She couldn’t tell the strength of the old etiquette officer. She might be an ordinary person, or she might be a powerful being much stronger than her, such as Nascent Soul or above.
The maids can be seen to have strength, and most of them are spiritual masters, so they can be considered to have embarked on the path to immortality.
At least within the four regions of Jiuzhou, Luo Xue had never heard of an empire or dynasty that would treat cultivators in the Soul Condensation Realm as maids.
This time I went to the wrong place...
Luo Xue sighed again in her heart, but because she was afraid of being glared at by the old lady, the etiquette officer, Luo Xue could only bear it and continue to sit uncomfortably.
She was now behind a thin gauze curtain, which seemed to be restricted. Outsiders could not peek into the situation inside and could only see very vague shadows.
But Luo Xue, who was inside, could easily see what was happening outside.
"...I can't tell the strength of these people, they should all be at Yuanying or above, right?"
Luo Xue looked at them one by one, but did not dare to take the initiative to sense them. What if she offended the big boss? Would her identity as a princess be of any use?
After watching boredly for a while, Luo Xue suddenly discovered that these princes and nobles who came to congratulate her birthday seemed to be accompanied by one or two handsome men dressed like gentlemen, standing there in a humble yet somewhat arrogant manner.
They all looked to be about the same age as Luo Xue, and should be the descendants of the royal families. From time to time, they cast curious glances in Luo Xue's direction.
But under the cover of the veil, these young men could only see a vague silvery shadow.
At this moment, Luo Xue finally realized something and widened her eyes slightly.
"Wait, this can't be..."
Coming of age ceremony, royal family, young man...
And their strange eyes...
Damn, this is a marriage plot unique to princesses, right?
This isn't a birthday party at all; it's just a large-scale blind date!
Chapter 153: The Turbulence at the Birthday Banquet, the Girl Sleeps Invincibly
"The silver-haired girl sitting inside should be the little princess, Princess Snow, right? I heard that she is the most beloved daughter of the Immortal Emperor..."
"According to gossip, His Highness' coming-of-age ceremony today might be a son-in-law selection meeting."
"Haha, I know more... Your Majesty's intention is still unclear, but the Empress has announced that she will personally find a suitable husband for Princess Snow."
"Hey, how could it be the Empress? Isn't Princess Xue's biological mother Consort Min? Could it be that Consort Min..."
"Hush, be careful with your words, walls may have ears. This is the Sun and Moon Palaces, how dare you say such things!"
"What's the big deal? Not many people can hear it. Alas, Brother Liu is too nervous..."
Several young masters of this corrupt society seemed to be standing respectfully beside their elders, but they were whispering to each other in private.
They are all the most outstanding descendants of their respective clans in the contemporary era. They are only half a century old, but they have already reached the peak of foundation building. They are all favored children who have the hope of reaching the immortal realm or even the sea crossing realm.
If they want to find someone with better qualifications than them, they may have to look within three thousand years to find a few geniuses in the clan who can serve as the pillars of the clan.
How could a genius of this level be willing to submit to a political marriage?
Although Princess Snow is the apple of His Majesty the Immortal Emperor's eye, it is well known that she has been frail and sickly since childhood and is not suitable at all to embark on the path of cultivation.
Even if she could rely on the rich resources of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty to raise her cultivation to the Nascent Soul stage, her lifespan would only be a few thousand years at most, which made her unsuitable as a companion for a top genius.
Therefore, when the princes of the royal families learned that the little princess was going to have a blind date, they inevitably became excited.
Although everyone said that they had no chance, the glances they cast at Qingsha from time to time were enough to show that they still had a glimmer of hope in their hearts.
What if?
What if, because I’m handsome or something, I’m favored by the little princess and become the prince consort of the Immortal Dynasty?
By then, not to mention that the grace of His Majesty the Immortal Emperor will descend upon him along with the little princess, his path of cultivation will be smoother, and even his status within the clan will be greatly improved. After all, by then he will represent the existence of the imperial clan of the Immortal Dynasty.
In addition, according to rumors, the little princess is also a peerless beauty.
That's true...If not for this, His Majesty the Immortal Emperor wouldn't love me so much.
Thinking of this, the young masters' eyes began to ripple a little.
"evil..."
Luo Xue under the veil seemed to have an illusion of something. She suddenly shuddered and her body trembled slightly.
When the old lady who was the etiquette officer next to her saw this, she immediately glared at Luo Xue and said in a stern tone,
"Princess Snow, please be dignified at all times. The banquet is about to begin. Do you want His Majesty and his subjects to see your ugly appearance?"
"...knew."
Luo Xue replied with a bitter face, but under the gaze of the old etiquette officer, she could only swallow the bitterness as best she could.
Although the start of this life seemed to be much better than the previous ones, she even became a respected princess of the Immortal Dynasty.
But this torturous palace etiquette...
Luo Xue really felt like every day was a year long and all she wanted to do was run away.
...It would be better to be hunted down.
However, Luo Xue hasn't figured out the situation in this life yet. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she can only continue to squat here... Oh no, sit upright.
The etiquette for a birthday banquet is quite complicated, not to mention that this is the little princess’s coming-of-age ceremony.
After a series of etiquette that even Luo Xue couldn't understand, the princes and nobles from all parties were finally allowed to take their seats. However, the young men beside them could only stand and were not even qualified to sit down.
In fact, if it weren't for the oral order from the Emperor and Empress, requiring the princes and nobles to bring the most outstanding descendants within half a century to the banquet, they would not even be qualified to enter the Sun and Moon Palaces.
As for the secret voices in the hall...all we can say is that what they happened to be talking about was not a sensitive matter for the Divine Clan, so everyone just pretended not to hear them and regarded them as the gossip of the younger generation.
You should know that the Sun Palace is the hall where His Majesty the Immortal Emperor summons all the ministers of the Immortal Dynasty to discuss important matters, while the Moon Palace is the hall where the Emperor and Empress summon the imperial concubines or foreign ministers. The Sun and Moon Palaces represent the place where the fortune of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty gathers.
Unlike the dynasties in the mortal world, the Emperor and Empress are not completely powerless and are not solely dependent on the Immortal Emperor.
After all, those who can become Taoist partners with the Immortal Emperor, even if their strength may be weaker, are generally not too many, and they are still very important existences within the Immortal Dynasty.
The interdependence of the sun and the moon is the eternal foundation of the Great Qin Dynasty.
After all the princes and nobles took their seats, the Sun and Moon Palaces soon became quiet, and a dignified attendant of the imperial family stood up.
He first respectfully performed the ritual of three bows and nine kowtows towards the empty imperial throne, and then kowtowed several times in the direction of Luo Xue.
To be honest, Luo Xue was still a little uncomfortable. She felt quite uncomfortable when seeing others bowing to her, but she could only endure the discomfort under the gaze of the old etiquette officer next to her.
After all these necessary ceremonies were completed, the attendant respectfully took out a scroll woven from embroidered fairy cloth, lowered his head and raised it, slowly unrolled it with both hands, and read out the contents in a shrill voice.
Because the words he used were too obscure and classical, Luo Xueleng didn't understand what he was saying.
It was not until the faces of the princes and nobles changed slightly that Luo Xue was able to extract some substantive content from these difficult to understand words.
That is...
"My cheap father is not coming? Is the emperor going to preside over it instead?"
Luo Xue's expression turned a little strange, because all she had heard before was how much the Immortal Emperor loved her and how good he was to her.
The roles played by the emperor and empress were somewhat unbearable.
After thinking about it carefully, Luo Xue understood that she, Princess Snow, should not be the offspring of the emperor or empress.
It seems that palace fighting exists everywhere, even the Immortal Dynasty is no exception.
But now...the Immortal Emperor who claimed to love his daughter so much did not attend her coming-of-age ceremony, but instead let the Empress with a subtle attitude preside over it?
The cheap mother failed in the palace fight?
Luo Xue felt a little suspicious and accidentally lost control of her expression.
After realizing what was going on, Luo Xue quickly corrected herself, but she saw that the old etiquette officer who had been extremely strict with her in the previous attempts did not continue to look at her with murderous eyes, but instead showed a bit of pity in her eyes.
"The Empress has arrived!"
The shrill voice of the attendant was heard again, and in an instant all the princes and nobles stood up and saluted towards the throne of the Emperor and Empress.
Even the old etiquette officer was no exception, but when Luo Xue wanted to learn to stand up, the old etiquette officer stopped her with a look.
It seems that she does not need to salute the emperor and empress...
At the same time, the throne of the Emperor and Empress in the Moon Palace was slowly covered with a layer of purple mist that no one could see through.
A graceful and lazy figure slowly emerged from it. It was just a few light shadows, but it carried an attitude of a mother of the world, making people bow down in worship.
The next moment, the cold voice of the Empress Dowager sounded with a hint of indifference.
"My dear ministers, please stand up and take your seats."
"Thank you, Empress Dowager."
The princes and nobles said in unison and all sat down again.
At this time, Luo Xue, who was standing next to the throne in the Moon Palace, couldn't help but be curious and cast her eyes towards the throne of the Emperor and Empress.
Then she felt a strong gaze coming towards her. In an instant, Luo Xue felt an indescribable sense of oppression, which made her a little breathless.
This was not pure strength, or was it deliberately targeting Luo Xue, but more like the heavy majesty of someone who had been in a high position for a long time.
However, the emperor and empress just glanced at Luo Xue casually, then looked away and didn't pay any more attention to her.
Obviously, Luo Xue, as the Snow Princess, was the real host of this banquet, but the emperor and empress behaved as if they directly ignored her existence.
...didn't care at all.
In addition, when the old lady of etiquette appeared just now, she did not correct Luo Xue's slightly embarrassed behavior, but showed her a look of pity.
All of this reveals that there is another hidden story behind this incident...
The more Luo Xue thought about it, the more strange it seemed. At this moment, the memories in her mind gradually eased and recovered, and Princess Snow's life was overlapping with hers.
Cold palace, boring past...
At the same time, there are various banquets, various grand gatherings, and various lively scenes...
The extremely fragmented memories appeared in Luo Xue's mind in fragments. She couldn't help rubbing her temples again, but immediately realized the presence of the old etiquette officer and quickly withdrew her hands.
However, the old etiquette officer did not say anything. Although she still looked serious, she pretended not to see any slightly inappropriate movements by Luo Xue.
It seemed that after learning that the birthday banquet was hosted by the Emperor and Empress, the old lady of etiquette changed her temperament.
can only say...
Perhaps all this has something to do with the emperor and empress.
Luo Xue once again cast her gaze in the direction of the Emperor and Empress, but this time the purple mist on the Emperor and Empress' thrones directly blocked her perception - this was also not targeted, but the Emperor and Empress felt that the environment was noisy, so they simply cast a barrier and left it alone.
The princes and nobles seemed to understand the personalities of the Emperor and Empress very well. After learning that it was not the Immortal Emperor himself who came, they relaxed a lot among each other and signaled the younger generations next to them to communicate more.
It was rare for them to interact with other princes and nobles. Some were looking for old friends, some were trying to make friends. It seemed that no one paid attention to the host of the banquet, Princess Snow, but from time to time they would cast their glances at the silvery figure behind the veil.
The first half of the banquet was meant to warm up the atmosphere. If it were the Immortal Emperor, he might do something on a whim, but the lazy Empress and Queen didn't care about that.
As for the hostess of the coming-of-age ceremony, Snow Princess...she hasn't taken off the veil yet. It can be understood that Snow Princess does not want to show up at this time and plans to continue to wait and see. All parties can only pretend that Snow Princess has not come yet.
However, we should still find an opportunity for the younger generations to perform when it is time.
No matter whether it is the Emperor or Empress or Princess Snow, as long as one of them shows some interest, it means that this youngster has a bright future and his path in the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty will be smooth.
Since the emperor and empress were too lazy to host the banquet, someone with prestige who could convince all the princes and nobles had to stand up.
"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to what I have to say."
At this time, an old man in gorgeous clothes at the banquet spoke slowly, and a pretty girl beside him helped him to stand up tremblingly.
In an instant, all the princes and nobles stopped what they were doing and looked at the old man.
In fact, they were all prepared, but no one dared to step forward in front of the Emperor and Empress.
However, the identity of this old man is not ordinary. If he stands up, the princes, nobles, emperor and empress will have no objection.
Because in the family tree, this old man should be considered the distant uncle of the emperor and empress, a royal relative by marriage, and was given the title of the Sixth Prince.
Although the Sixth Prince has a high status, his lifespan has reached its limit and he only has two to three thousand years left.
Therefore, he is no longer responsible for the affairs of the clan, but instead has some leisure time to attend such banquets.
