Beautiful Transmigrating Librarian: Supreme God’s System - Chapter 90
Dongfang Ruyi jogged to catch Mu Xuan Yin up but she ignored him and also speed up her pace and without knowing the two of them arrived at where the Royal Banquet was held.
Mu Xuan Yin took a deep breath to disperse her nervousness and firmly walked to the Royal Banquet followed by Dongfang Ruyi that still in his disguise beside her.
The Royal Banquet was quite crowded and noisy with all of the officials that attending along with many princes and princess from another country that formed some sort of alliance with Nanshu Empire but mostly for trading since Nanshu Empire famous with its wealthy.
However, the Royal Banquet turned deadly quiet when Mu Xuan Yin entered the royal hall as all the people in the banquet stunned silly and held their breath in admiration.
She wore a red crimson dress with a gorgeous golden phoenix crest adornment. It was hard to describe with mere words. There was also a supreme noble aura to her but it didn’t overshadow her extremely beautiful features. Her personal elegant and graceful style didn’t shame her prestigious new status at all.
People could only use the words “imperial princess” to envision her. City-toppling at first glance, kingdom-toppling after the second glance, and completely peerless at the third. People finally understood why so many people praised this new imperial princess and said that all the men that saw her will lost sleep after seeing her for the first time and will keep dreaming about her after seeing her for the second time; they couldn’t stop themselves from loving her. Everyone lost their mind at her sight, even those who have seen her in the past.
“Your Highness.” All of the guards and servants here kneeled. It wasn’t just because of her status, her imperial noble aura made the weak drop submissively on the ground.
“Greetings, Imperial Princess.” All Nanshu Empire’s officials didn’t perform the grand ceremony but they still bowed to her while the princess and princes only smiling and nodded to her.
Mu Xuan Yin was also smiling and nodded toward the princess and princes. She actually feels so uncomfortable now, being in the center of attention and watched by all the people make her feel a bit nausea but after a few seconds, she also frowned in puzzlement when he saw all the officials still bowed and all of the guards and servants still kneeled.
“Cough… Cough… Imperial Princess, if you do not say ‘rise’ they will stay like that until morning.” Dongfang Ruyi reminded her with a bit teasing tone in it.
“Oh… Oooohhh… So it’s like that haha… Ok, rise… Rise, everyone…” Even though Mu Xuan Yin did not feel comfortable but she feels quite satisfied now since this was her first time feeling like she stood above others.
Dongfang Ruyi almost burst to laugh out loud when he saw her clumsy smug act but it was really obvious that she never did this kind of things. This bride of his was really cute and funny at every moment really makes him wanted to dote her more and more.
Mu Xuan Yin elegantly walked toward the emperor, Yuan Qian that sat at the highest place with his Empress.
Yuan Qian kept staring at Mu Xuan Yin and nodded his head in satisfaction. When he looked at the still the crowd that still stunned silly by her beauty, he was smiling even more satisfied. It looks like his choice was not wrong at all; this little girl really did not embarrass him at all, totally befitting as someone with royal prestige.
Only the prime minister, Bai Liang Su that sat near Yuan Qian that snorted in dissatisfaction but he still keep his mouth shut since he did not want to embarrass himself further since all the people that attending this Royal Banquet was the important people with high authority in Nanshu Empire.
Bai Liang Su’s daughter, Bai Shao Qing also attended this Royal Banquet but she could only grit her teeth in hatred while coldly stared at Mu Xuan Yin.
“Greeting, Your Majesty and Her Majesty, may you two live for ten thousand years.” Mu Xuan Yin bowed toward Yuan Qian and his Empress.
“Pffft… Cough… Cough…” Dongfang Ruyi almost burst to laugh again when he heard her while thinking: ‘This girl must be watched too many historical movies!’ because in this world there was no one using this kind of phrase anymore.
“Really a good girl. No wonder that Your Majesty doting on you so much.” Yuan Qian’s empress looks a bit old maybe in the mid of her thirties but she looks really gentle and noble made Mu Xuan Yin cannot help but admired her. Mu Xuan Yin guessed that she must have come from a noble family.
“Hahaha… Yin Er, you do not need to call this Emperor ‘Your Majesty’ anymore. Just call me Royal Father like all the princes called this Emperor. And this…” Yuan Qian stared at the old man beside Mu Xuan Yin.
All the people in the royal banquet were too stunned by Mu Xuan Yin’s peerless beauty that made all the surrounding seems blurred and all the color faded in her presence so no one realized the disheveled old man that stood beside her all this time but when Yuan Qian mention it, the crowds began to look at the old man too in curiosity.
“Uhhh… This… He is my long lost grandpa, Ruyi… that I just found him this evening.” Mu Xuan Yin said while fidgeting and her eyes become unfocused and darted around restlessly. If Nangong Liuchen was here, he will immediately know that this was the clear sign when Mu Xuan Yin told a lie.
“Oh… So you are Yin Er grandpa! It’s an honor to meet you. Pleased to meet you, elder Ruyi. Since you are Yin Er’s grandpa then you’re one of us. Please do not hesitate or shy if you need any help from this Emperor.” Yuan Qian smiled warmly toward Dongfang Ruyi.
“Un…” Dongfang Ruyi only nodded a bit nonchalantly then continued to ignore all of them with his frosty expression but her eyes still shone with gentleness as he keeps staring at Mu Xuan Yin restless expression.
Dongfang Ruyi was the most feared Demon King from Demon Sect. He does not even need to dirty his own hand, any of his Demon Generals could easily wipe this kind of mortal kingdom like Nanshu Empire as easily as turning their palm in a few hours so he never put this kind of kingdom in his eyes.
Even this… whatever his name Emperor was no more than a tiny ant in his eyes, if not for Mu Xuan Yin insisted on saving this kingdom, he was even too lazy to set his foot to this tiny mortal kingdom and won’t bother to save it at all.
After greeted Yuan Qian and the empress, Mu Xuan Yin sat at the table next to them. Dongfang Ruyi should be sat at the table beside Mu Xuan Yin but he insisted on sat beside her at one table.
Mu Xuan Yin ignored him and stared at the fresh fruit and delicious cake on the table. She picked one of the gr.a.p.es and savored it, the fresh and sweet taste spread in her mouth made her craved more for its taste.
“Girl, this King really surprised that you still have the appetite to eat.” Dongfang Ruyi whispered to Mu Xuan Yin’s ear. His hot breaths made her ear feels ticklish.
“Why? Oh… Yes, what do you mean by fierce battle before? Will there be an attack in this banquet? The rebel?” Mu Xuan Yin asked curiously while shoved another gr.a.p.e in her mouth.
“That’s…” Dongfang Ruyi wanted to explain it but before he has time to explain it…
“Empress Dowager is coming!” The eunuch announced.
An old lady wore golden yellow dress gracefully entered the royal hall escorted by many maids by her side. Her face already full of wrinkles but the imperial noble aura that she emitted did not diminish at all. On contrary, it was actually sharpened by time made her even nobler than the emperor himself. Her eyes shone with arrogance and pride as if she looked down on all the people from above her throne.
Empress Dowager stared coldly at Mu Xuan Yin for a moment made Mu Xuan Yin felt cold crept on her spine but the Empress Dowager only snorted in displeasing and disregard her.
“At last, this snake is coming out from her nest. Be careful Yin Er! A white rabbit like you might luckily bite an idiotic fox like that prime minister but this old snake is on a different level. If you do not be careful, she will definitely swallow you whole without leaving any of your bones behind!” Dongfang Ruyi chuckled in amus.e.m.e.nt while reminded Mu Xuan Yin but he did not worry at all. As long as he stood by her side, no matter how many of these old snakes coming, they would not be able to hurt his girl at all.
