No, absolutely not. He'll only feel more convinced that he did the right thing. Having someone come to pick him up is such a wonderful thing!
Reason? I don't care what the reason is!!
Thus, Ye Lang and his two companions, along with a puppet, entered the Imperial Palace in a carriage and were escorted all the way to the banquet hall.
When Ye Lang entered the state banquet palace, it wasn't early, but it wasn't late either; the royal banquet wouldn't start for some time.
Besides the royal banquets, there were also banquets for officials and commoners in different places. The square in front of the Imperial Palace was a relatively concentrated area where many people gathered and many banquets were set up.
This is also where most high-ranking officials and powerful nobles gather. Apart from royal banquets, this is the highest-class venue here!
At the start of the banquet, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor will speak to everyone in Dragon City through a special alchemical device, and that will be a moment of universal celebration.
Since there was still some time before the banquet started, and Princess Longji didn't seem to have arrived yet, Ye Lang started looking for a place to sit and get some snacks.
"Bad woman!!"
"Smack..."
As the sound appeared, the thing in the Puppet Girl's hand fell to the ground. This was a sound that Ye Lang didn't want to hear and found somewhat annoying.
And the only person who would call the Puppet Girl bad woman seems to be the Little Princess. Don't ask why the Little Princess is here, this is her territory!
"You're so annoying!" Ye Lang expressed his feelings directly.
"... You're the one who's annoying, you bad woman, pay me back for my baby!!" the Little Princess shouted at the Puppet Girl.
"Aren't you annoying? I already told you I'd compensate you, but you still don't want it! Let me tell you, I'll get you one next year, so stop bothering me!!" Ye Lang frowned, speaking with some annoyance.
You dislike me? You dislike me too? You bad woman...
The Little Princess was very unhappy. This was the first time she had ever been disliked. From childhood to adulthood, everyone had only liked and loved her, never disliked or hated her!
"Will you really give it to me next year?" The Little Princess looked at the Puppet Girl with some doubt.
"Don't worry, even if I don't come, I'll send someone to deliver it!" Ye Lang waved his hand and said, then continued looking for food. However, the Puppet Girl only looked for food and didn't eat it; instead, she put it in her pocket.
Needless to say, because puppets cannot be eaten, but Ye Lang wants to eat them.
The Little Princess looked at the Puppet Girl with some confusion. Why wasn't this wicked woman eating? If she was going to take her away, she should at least have eaten a few bites here. But she didn't move at all!
After watching for a while, the Little Princess left. She wasn't going to waste time with the Puppet Girl. At this birthday banquet, she had brothers and sisters everywhere, and finding a good friend wouldn't be too difficult.
"Little girl, come here, let me introduce you to my grandson." After the Empress Dowager appeared and greeted everyone, she noticed the Puppet Girl on the side.
"Oh..." the Puppet Girl responded and then walked over.
At this moment, everyone's attention was drawn to the Puppet Girl because the Empress Dowager was focused on her, and they were all a little distracted!
The Puppet Girl's perfect qualities allow her to exude a captivating aura wherever she goes, attracting everyone's attention!
Who is this girl?
At this time, many people were thinking that although they had all heard of him, only a small number of people had actually met him.
Those who have seen her also have some doubts: Is this really her?
The Puppet Girl in the past was only in casual clothes, which was still captivating, but it was quite different from her current glamorous appearance. This is what they mean by "clothes make the man!"
"Young lady, these are my grandchildren. Get to know them and chat with them!" The Empress Dowager seemed to have a renewed desire to marry her granddaughter-in-law after seeing the Puppet Girl.
These things are all about fate!
"Hello, I am Lady Marqu. You can call me Lady." The Puppet Girl greeted her. This was perhaps what the Empress Dowager liked about her. Although Ye Lang was a bit absent-minded, he was quite polite.
"Hello, Lady Lei Di, my name is Dragon..." The prince and princess began to introduce themselves, but their attitudes were quite different, almost opposite.
The princes' enthusiasm, the princesses' indifference!
This is inevitable. Men will naturally be enthusiastic when they see a beautiful woman, while women will only compare themselves to her. If the woman is more beautiful than them, they will definitely feel a little jealous.
The Puppet Girl's beauty could make almost every woman in the world envious!
"Excuse me, where is Princess Longji?" The Puppet Girl wasn't interested in any of these princes and princesses; the only one she was interested in was Princess Longji. She had assumed that Princess Longji would be among these people.
"Long Ji? Have you heard of her? She hasn't arrived yet. She's a very busy person and usually arrives at the very last minute. Perhaps she'll be a little late!" The Empress Dowager was a little surprised that this young girl knew about Princess Longji, but she quickly understood.
Princess Longji is a celebrity in the Vermilion Bird Empire; among her generation, she is the most prestigious!
Many people wanted to get close to Princess Longji she was not only a beautiful princess, but also the leader of a powerful faction. Such a beautiful princess with power and influence was naturally the ideal object of men's affections.
"Sister Long Ji, she'll definitely be late. Let's see how late she is," the Little Princess said from the side.
"Yes!" The group agreed.
It seems that Princess Longji is the type to arrive late. After hearing this, Ye Lang simply took his leave and went to the side to study the desserts.
Now that we know Princess Longji will be late, and it's not time yet, we don't need to wait!
The person watching from the side guessed that this Lady Lei Di might be after Princess Longji, but why?
This is a bit puzzling; all we can do is keep staring at the Puppet Girl!
"Hey, you idiot! You've exposed your purpose again!!" Cold-Blooded Fifth and Cold-Blooded Seventh were a little helpless, but there was nothing they could do.
When the princes saw the Puppet Girl move aside, they hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn't go over. After all, they were princes, and they couldn't lower themselves like that!
"This young girl, well, let's leave it to fate!" The Empress Dowager had no choice but to accept the situation. She was going to "share the joy with the people" with Vermilion Bird Emperor later, and such things were also a matter of fate.
