The Tales of a Blessed Daughter

Chapter 142: The Seventh Princess of Kingdom Jin

The people of the Imperial Kingdom were honest and reserved, but they did not expect Su Yan to speak so boldly.

Jin Tong’s eyes widened, and her exquisite face was full of indignation. She pointed at Su Yan and said angrily, “Do you know what Guang Pingwang said to me before?”

Su Yan raised her eyebrows and asked curiously, “What did he say?”

Jin Tong glanced at her proudly and said, “Do you want to know? I won’t tell you.”

Su Yan replied with an “Oh” and said, “Then forget it.”

After saying that, she turned around and went back to the Guang Residence.

Jin Tong was so angry that she wanted to curse. In the end, she could only roar, “Anyway, it was Guang Pingwang who betrayed me. I’ll see you at the banquet.”

She did not believe that she would not be able to see the Guang Pingwang at the banquet.

Jin Tong turned around in a huff and boarded the carriage.

The luxuriously decorated carriage slowly drove towards the imperial palace.

Su Yan did not react when she heard this. She was still very confident in Gu Ruoyun’s character, but she was a little surprised.

She happened to bump into An Yi. Su Yan asked, “Where did the Royal Highness go?”

An Yi quickly replied, “Princess Consort, don’t misunderstand. The Royal Highness has absolutely nothing to do with the seventh princess.”

Su Yan looked at An Yi with a strange expression. He had never interfered in the matters between her and Gu Ruoyun before this.

She pretended to be angry and said, “She has already come knocking on our door, yet you still say that there’s nothing to do with it.”

An Yi’s expression was even more strange. He watched Su Yan move his mouth several times but did not say a word.

Su Yan did not urge him and just waited to hear what he had to say.

In the end, An Yi disappeared in a flash.

Su Yan was dumbfounded as she stood rooted to the ground. He had completely aroused her curiosity.

When Gu Ruoyun returned, she mysteriously asked him but received an answer that he did not know the seventh princess of the Kingdom Jin.

Time flew by and it was the day of the banquet.

Su Yan accompanied Gu Ruoyun to attend the banquet.

Su Yan, who had been caught and dressed up by Chu Tao earlier on, allowed Chu Tao to move as she pleased.

Chu Tao still did not put on any makeup, but this time, Chu Tao had placed a flower-patterned pearl between her brows, making her look even more beautiful.

Su Yan slowly walked towards the main door of the Guang Residence. Gu Ruoyun was already waiting at the door.

She had stunned everyone as soon as she stepped out. In the past, her appearance without any makeup had already caused the downfall of cities and countries. At this moment, she had dressed up meticulously, she was as beautiful as peach or plum.

However, the moment she opened her mouth, she had ruined the atmosphere.

“You’re not awake yet, what are you looking at?”

As she spoke, she looked behind her. There was nothing there.

Gu Ruoyun could not help but laugh as he stroked her head and said, “Get in the carriage.”

The group rushed to the imperial palace. From outside, they could already hear the singing and dancing in the palace.

The entire journey was decorated with lanterns and streamers. It was very lively.

This was Nalan Chen’s first time hosting a foreign envoy after ascending the throne. Naturally, he had put in a lot of effort.

Su Yan also met Nalan Chen once again.

Nalan Chen sat on a high seat and smiled gently at Su Yan as if nothing had changed since he was still the crown prince.

Gu Ruoyun pulled Su Yan behind him and bowed gently. He then sat on the left seat of the banquet. This was the seat reserved for the Guang Pingwang.

Nalan Chen’s eyes darkened but he did not say anything. The expression on his face when he looked at Su Yan changed.

Su Yan did not understand what was going on and was pulled away. She sat down and wanted to ask something but was stopped by a grape that was about to reach her mouth.

Her eyes darted uneasily across the table. The envoys from the various countries had already taken their seats.

There was only a young man in a white robe sitting on the seat of the Kingdom Jin’s envoys. He had his head lowered and looked as if he had nothing to do with the affairs of the world.

This was especially so when the envoys from other countries were trying their best to show their goodwill towards the imperial court. This made him look even more unique.

Su Yan’s gaze lingered on him for a long time.

The man seemed to sense something and raised his head to look at her.

Their gazes met. Su Yan did not feel embarrassed and smiled generously.

The man lowered his head again.

Gu Ruoyun coughed lightly in annoyance.
