Your Majesty, the princess ran away again!

Chapter 211 Palace Banquet

At nightfall, long queues had already formed outside the palace. Jun Youning was finally released and had been waiting at the palace gate since early morning. She had heard about what happened this morning. It was great that she had a sister. There were so many princesses in the palace, but none of them could play with her. They either wanted to harm her or her mother. None of them were good people.

When Mu Nanyan arrived at the palace gate, she saw the long queue and hesitated for a moment. She didn't really want to queue in such a hot day.

"Sister!" Jun Youning ran over, holding up her skirt.

Mu Nanyan looked around curiously. The voice was not Yaoyao's. Jun Youning gave her a bear hug and said, "Sister!"

"Youning?" Mu Nanyan was surprised by the name. This sister called her so sweetly that it melted her heart.

"Sister, come with me. We don't have to go through this door." Jun Youning got on her carriage and instructed Yuan Si to turn around.

"Youning, where are we going?" Mu Nanyan asked blankly.

"We are princesses. According to our status, we don't have to go through the west gate." Jun Youning looked - flattering?

Mu Nanyan knew that she had no good intentions, "Youning, what did you do wrong? Why were you put in solitary confinement for two months?"

Jun Youning looked embarrassed, "Nothing, it's just that you all left, I was bored so I sneaked out of the palace, and got caught drinking with others by Fourth Brother."

Mu Nanyan held her forehead and said, no wonder the emperor was angry. A princess of a country went out just to drink. It might be nothing in the future, but it was really a taboo in this feudal world.

After the carriage left, Murong Yue waited for a long time before coming out from the dark. She only learned the news at noon. Why was Mu Nanyan crowned a princess? She was just a concubine of the prime minister's mansion! These should have been hers, why were they snatched away by her!

The housekeepers who were originally in the queue were very envious of Mu Nanyan, and some who were on good terms with Murong Yue were secretly cursing her. Murong Yue pretended that she came late and did not see the scene just now, and walked slowly to the end of the line.

Mu Nanyan was led into the palace by Jun Youning. She first visited the Queen's bedroom, and then went to the side hall of the Henan Palace to wait. Not long after, she was led into the main hall by a maid. Several princes were there, except Jun Zhuoyuan, who was sitting in his seat looking down. The rest of the people gathered together to discuss something.

Jun Youning dragged Mu Nanyan forward and said, "Brother Jiu, I brought my sister-in-law to you."

This girl changed her mind pretty quickly. Maybe she was afraid that Jun Zhuoyuan would scold her.

"You can find a place to play by yourself." Jun Zhuoyuan took Mu Nanyan's hand.

Mu Nanyan shook it off, "There are so many people here, be more serious."

Jun Zhuoyuan approached shamelessly, "What's wrong, Yanyan? I wanted to hold your hand because there were so many people. Didn't you see the way those rich kids looked at you when you first walked in? I really wanted to dig their eyes out."

Mu Nanyan pinched his cheek and said, "Our A Yuan is so jealous. Don't pay attention to those cats and dogs. You are the only one in my heart."

Jun Zhuoyuan's lips curled up. This sentence really coaxed him. "Okay, I'll listen to you and try this. It's something the chef in the mansion has just invented."

Mu Nanyan picked up a small piece and put it in her mouth. Hmm, it was dense and not too sweet, just right. "You're a good cook. Can you give it to me?"

"Forget it, just don't give it to me." If Wan Xi knew this, she would probably be sad. It would be better for her to go to his house when she wanted to eat, so that she could also see her little disciple.

It was exactly what he wanted. He had never intended to give it to her. If there was no good cook in the mansion, Yanyan would not know how long it would take for her to go.

Murong Yue sat down there clasping her hands tightly. What right did Mu Nanyan have to do that? She was so shameless. With so many people watching, she was still sitting in the prince's place so shamelessly. She didn't look like a lady from a noble family at all. She was a bastard born of a slut.

Mu Nanyan sat for a while, then stood up, patted her butt and prepared to leave.

"Yanyan, what are you doing?"

"I have to go back. I can't sit here all the time. This is not a good thing. Let's talk after this is over." After saying that, Mu Nanyan walked towards Jun Youning's direction. Before entering the hall, Youning said that they would sit together today.

Jun Youning perfunctorily dealt with a few rich girls who wanted to make friends. When he saw Mu Nanyan coming back, he immediately stood up and asked, "Sister, are you done talking to Brother Nine?"

"There's nothing to talk about. He's too slow. It's just that you change your name so quickly."

Jun Youning smiled awkwardly, "It's not that I want to do this. Isn't this Brother Nine? You know his temper. He is very petty. I dare not provoke him."

Mu Nanyan thought about it and agreed.

"Your Majesty has arrived, the Queen has arrived--" Jiang Su stood in front of the hall, swinging her whisk.

Emperor Tianyou took the Queen's seat by the hand, and the people below knelt down, with only a few princes and princesses bowing to pay their respects.

"Okay, everyone get up." Emperor Tianyou let go of the Queen's hand and waved his hand.

"Today is to celebrate Mo Chen's triumphant return and to reward Xiao Jiu and Yan Er. I have already said this in the morning court today, so I will not say more. I have specially set up this banquet for everyone to enjoy. Today, we don't care about the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects. Let's have fun and enjoy ourselves."

After Emperor Tianyou finished speaking, everyone knelt down again. Mu Nanyan rubbed her knees secretly. Could her knees really withstand this frequency?

The dinner officially began. Jun Youning placed several delicious dishes in front of Mu Nanyan. The fourth princess muttered softly, "What a lackey. It's really a disgrace to the royal family that the royal family members are lackeys for a lowly person."

"What are you talking about?" Jun Youning heard her words with his sharp ears.

"What's wrong? Wasn't what I said wrong? You are a legitimate princess and you are trying to please an irrelevant person like this." Jun Jinyue said with a sarcastic look on her face.

"What do you mean by irrelevant person? This is my royal sister, whose status is higher than yours. How dare you say such things? It seems that your mother dotes on you too much and even forgets the rules of the palace." Jun Youning said loudly.

As expected, it attracted the attention of the Queen and Emperor Tianyou, "What happened?"

"Mother, my fourth sister said that I am a lackey and that Imperial Sister Yanyan is a pariah." Jun Youning secretly pinched his thigh, causing his eyes to turn red, and he cried out feeling extremely aggrieved.

The queen was angry. She didn't like the fourth princess in the first place. When Youning was young, she often secretly harmed him. The injuries he suffered on a normal day were considered minor. Once, if she hadn't sent him to the Imperial Hospital in time, Youning would have died.

"Does the Fourth Princess not understand the palace rules?"

Emperor Tianyou knew that the Queen was angry. He seldom visited his fourth daughter and didn't know her very well, but he knew everything about what she had done to Youning before. He had turned a blind eye to it because no one was killed. But with so many people here today, she dared not punish the hero. It was really unacceptable.

"Jun Jinyue!"

The fourth princess didn't expect that Emperor Tianyou would call her by her full name. She was immediately shocked and broke out in a cold sweat, "Father, Father..."

Emperor Tianyou had a dark face. "Come here, put the fourth princess in solitary confinement. She is not allowed to go out without my order. Copy the scriptures a hundred times by hand and change her temper. The queen should find a good nanny to teach her the rules. I will not have a daughter as rude as her!"

"Father! I was wrong, I know I was wrong! I will never do it again. I just slipped my tongue. Yes, I slipped my tongue, I didn't mean it!" She was being confined indefinitely. Father didn't like her in the first place, and there was no time limit for this confinement, so she would be locked up for life! No, this wouldn't work. She would be a 15-year-old next year, and she had to choose a good husband for herself. She couldn't be locked up!

Emperor Tianyou rubbed his temples. Why was he born like this? Why was this old dog Mu Xiwen born so smart and sensible? God was so unfair!

Jun Jinyue knelt on the ground and said, "Father, I really know I was wrong and I will never do it again."

Emperor Tianyou ordered someone to take her away. She felt upset just watching them here. What a scene it was like with so many people howling like ghosts and wolves!

Jun Youning winked at Mu Nanyan and solved it.

Jun Zhuoyuan was very satisfied with this. An unpopular princess actually dared to jump in front of her. This was courting death. Jun Youning said so. If he heard it first, the result would not just be confinement.

The old man probably felt guilty about the light punishment he received. He had been thinking about it for a long time and now he feels guilty.

In order to resolve the matter tonight, Emperor Tianyou actually gave Jun Zhuoyuan an explanation and rewarded Mu Nanyan with a lot of good things.

This matter is over.

Jun Youning returned to his seat, "Great! I've disliked her for a long time. She actually dared to speak so arrogantly on a day like today. What's more important is that she heard it. Sister, do you think she is stupid?"

Mu Nanyan had no idea about the twists and turns between the two and could only nod in agreement.
