Initial Volume Heaven Descends Trouble ☆ And Dear Princess Chapter 016 Public Provocation (Revised)

  Hall of Cheerful Countenance

  "Pay respects to Her Highness Princess Chang, may Her Highness Princess Chang be blessed with good fortune and prosperity."

  "Get up."

  "Thank you, Your Highness."

  Yue Xia put down the teacup, lightly pursed her red lips and gazed at the beautiful scenery all around, couldn't help but let out a soft laugh, teasingly said: "Jiu Er is playing with me in the Imperial Garden and got tired, she's taking a bath now, will be out soon."

  Good fortune and beautiful scenery, the four maidservants of qin qi shu hua were all eight years old when they entered the palace and were assigned to serve the sixth prince Ye Juechen in Nong Ying Tang. From a young age, they had received strict training and each had their own strengths. At the age of ten, Ye Juechen was personally appointed as the War King by the Emperor and granted the title of War King Mansion. Afterwards, she also left the palace with him. Ye Yue Xiao really did not expect that they would be willing to serve her heart's desire.

  Not even she had ever received such treatment.

  "Servant...". Zhang opened his mouth, but before he could finish speaking, he saw Yixin wearing a moon-white dark-patterned fur coat and pants running out, "Good day, beautiful scenery, you've finally arrived."

  Yi Xin's eyes flickered and she pouted her lips. She was now one hundred percent certain that the Long Princess Ye Yue Xiao was not the same person as the one in her heart.

  Their personalities are simply worlds apart.

  A certain woman's enthusiasm was overwhelming, and if she were to leave the palace, who knows what kind of trouble she would stir up. Just thinking about a certain beautiful snake woman and her appointment made Yixin feel weak all over.

  "Walk slowly, princess." Liang Chen stepped forward with a smile and supported her.

  "Your Highness, why don't you dry your hair?" It's not easy for her body to recover a bit, and now her wet hair is dripping with water, making it easy to catch a cold.

  Two of you, one sentence each, all centered around Yixin's dress, completely forgetting where they were. "The dinner party is about to start, hurry up and help Jiu'er change clothes, make-up, and dress beautifully."

  "Yes, Your Highness Princess Chang."

  "Sister, can I not go?" She hated everything related to the banquet, hated seeing those people's fake smiles, and would follow Ye Nüxu into the palace, all for the sake of tomorrow's Nine Peaks Mountain hunting trip.

  "Of course not." Yexiao blinked her eyes, shook her finger lightly, and said softly again: "Jiuer is so beautiful, of course everyone should see her, hehe."

  Liang Chen chose a beautiful dress and said softly: "Mei Jing, help the princess change her clothes."

  "Jiǔ ér kuài qù, jiě jie děng zhe nǐ."

  Translation: "Hurry up, Ninth, sister is waiting for you."

  She felt uncomfortable with people staring at her, she's not a monkey, why should she let others watch her, it feels weird.

  A moment later, Ye Xue gazed at Yi Xinran who was radiant after just a bit of dressing up, and couldn't help but praise: "You really are too beautiful."

  "Sister, you're teasing me." Being praised by a stunning beauty right to her face, Yī's heart fluttered and her cheeks turned slightly red. Her fair and translucent complexion seemed to be blushing with a layer of rouge, adding a few points of charm to her demeanor.

  "He's gone."

  ……。

  Flying Phoenix Pavilion

  The place where emperors of successive dynasties entertained foreign envoys and held banquets at night.

  Xiao State's Eighth Princess and Cang State's Sixth Princess each brought envoys to visit Ye State, arriving in Jincheng yesterday, staying at the post house, and a banquet was set up at Feifeng Pavilion.

  Amber wine, jade cups, golden feet vats, emerald plates. Food like paintings, wine like springs. Ancient zither sounds, bell chimes. The grand hall is decorated with inverted bell-shaped flowers, white petals, and bone china-like semi-transparent luster. The tips of the petals are a circle of light purple, as if dyed or naturally formed. The entire grand hall from top to bottom is covered with sky blue silk embroidery, gold and silver threads woven into chrysanthemum patterns, blooming quietly, vividly alive. The crystal clear water droplets reflect the pure white grand hall, ethereal and illusory, beautiful scenery like flowers hidden behind clouds, making it hard to distinguish reality from reflection. The two countries' princesses and envoys have taken their seats, on the high platform, beside the Night Emperor sits the elegant Empress, followed by the four consorts, dignified and stately.

  To the right of Emperor Ye, was the position of Crown Prince Ye Shou Jie, and beside him was the position of the Crown Princess.

  Among all the princes, except for the crown prince, Ye Juechen was the only one who was granted a kingdom, so his seat was second. Naturally, the position beside him was that of the War King's consort.

  After him, the princes were seated in order of age, facing them were the princesses of Xiao and Cang countries, as well as the seats of the envoys.

  "Your Majesty, the Ninth Princess of the Southern Kingdom has always been known as the number one talented woman. Her beauty is unmatched in the world. I have come this time only to fulfill a wish, and I hope Your Majesty will grant it."

  Her long black hair was styled into a beautiful bun, with a few loose strands framing her face, giving off an ethereal and lively aura. A pale golden embroidered cheongsam was worn over a semi-transparent silk dress of the same color, which trailed all the way to the ground. Her eyebrows were like paintings, and a pink diamond-shaped forehead ornament hung from her brow, exuding an enchanting charm that could not be put into words.

  "Your Majesty, I have been learning dance since childhood and have yet to meet a worthy opponent. I wonder if Your Majesty can fulfill this small wish of mine."

  A crimson silk dress with a low neckline, revealing full and soft flesh, her face like a lotus flower, her eyebrows like willows, her eyes more charming than peach blossoms, captivating the heartstrings, skin as white as snow, her black hair styled in a high coiffure, the phoenix-shaped hairpin on the Flying Phoenix Pavilion shining brightly under the light of twenty night pearls, emitting dazzling rays, her bright red lips slightly upturned, what a beautiful Sixth Princess of the Cang Country.

  The night emperor's eyes were dark and profound, occasionally casting a glance at Ye Dust, each one was directed at the War King's wife, what could he say?

  "Empress Dowager, the Queen of War has arrived—"

  The eunuch's loud announcement broke the eerie and mysterious atmosphere in the main hall, and countless eyes turned towards the direction of the sound.

  Only the War King's wife, Yixin, was dressed in a moon-white brocade palace attire, elegant yet with an added air of freshness and elegance that seemed to float like the wind. The wide skirt trailed behind her, exuding luxury and nobility. Her raven-black hair was simply styled into a flying immortal bun, adorned with several plump, round pearls scattered among her locks, making her dark hair appear even more lustrous and shiny. Her beautiful eyes sparkled as she glanced around, and her red lips curved into a faint, gentle smile.

  The Grand Princess wore a fiery red long dress, her eyebrows were lightly painted and her eyes sparkled like water. Her skin was fine and smooth as warm jade, with a soft glow that seemed to be moistened. Her lips were not painted but were naturally rosy and luscious, and the two strands of hair by her cheeks gently brushed against her face, adding a few points of seductive charm. The pearl earrings on her ears swayed back and forth, and on her feet was a pair of golden shoes decorated with precious stones. Her slightly lowered eyes sparkled with cunning dark light.

  Bu Deng Yixin walked to Ye Juechen's side and sat down. The two princesses of Xiao Guo and Cang Guo suddenly spoke up, smiling and asking: "We've long heard that the ninth princess of Nan Guo is a master of dance, may we ask for your instruction?"

  "What a skillful dance?" Yixin smiled slightly, her bright eyes scanning the faces of the two people, then suddenly sinking, coldly saying: "There is only the War King's consort and not the Ninth Princess of Nanguo here. The two princesses still have something to say."

  The Sixth Princess of Cang Guo's face changed, just about to get angry, when the Eighth Princess of Xiao Guo smiled slightly and bowed her head. In a clear voice, she said: "Isn't it that the War King's Consort doesn't dare compare with us two princesses? Who wins or loses is unimportant, let's just consider this as a celebration for the arrival of the dust."

  "The queen said, 'Even if I say so myself, I am the hostess; you two princesses first, please.'"

  As she finished speaking, her smile grew sweeter and she made a polite gesture, first bowing to Night Emperor Xuan Yuan's Empress to pay her respects, before walking over to sit beside Ye Juechen.

  Damn it, she didn't even provoke them and they still gave her a hard time, making things difficult for her.

  Don't worry, Auntie won't drive you crazy, or else her surname wouldn't be Yi.
