However, Concubine Pang reacted very quickly. Although she was surprised why Emperor Yuanfeng suddenly wanted to come to the female relatives, she immediately smiled and ordered people to prepare and notify the female relatives.
Princess Eleven snorted, "I want to see how Princess Ana will show off her power this time."
She really had no good feelings towards Princess Ana, especially after Princess Ana put her in danger and even wanted to use her to climb the tree, which almost caused her to fall from the tree. She felt that Princess Ana was not only competitive, but also had bad intentions.
The smile on Concubine Pang's face faded a little. She touched her daughter's hair and said softly, "Forget it. Etiquette cannot be abolished. You are grown up now. You should understand what your mother means."
The eleventh princess pursed her lips, muttered something, and said that she understood.
There was still some time before the evening banquet, so Concubine Pang sent the Eleventh Princess out to play by herself, and then asked Princess Mingchang, "The Madam and Yunzhang haven't arrived yet, do you want someone to notify them?"
Princess Mingchang then reacted and asked her Aunt Zheng to send someone to invite her, while she stayed to talk to Concubine Pang.
Soon Madam Li also came in hurriedly with Li Jinniang. After paying their respects, Li Jinniang hesitated for a while and then went to look for the Eleventh Princess and the others outside. Seeing them playing with the kite, Princess Mingchang's eyes became a little more gloomy - Su Yao was among that group of people, and Su Yao was the center of attention today. Although Li Jinniang also received rewards, in fact, it was all thanks to Su Yao, and she was just Su Yao's foil. As a result, she began to forget the old grudges just because she got a little benefit. She is too superficial.
Madam Li was completely unaware. Seeing that everyone was chatting, she walked up to Princess Mingchang with a smile and wanted to tell her about Li Jinniang's experience in the hunting trip. However, she felt a chill in her heart when she was looked at coldly by Princess Mingchang. She stammered a few times but did not open her mouth again. She sat quietly aside for a long time.
Concubine Pang has always been very flexible in her work. Although Emperor Yuanfeng suddenly announced that he would come, she was able to make adjustments quickly and took care of everything that needed to be taken care of. Then, when she saw that the time was almost up, she ordered someone to announce the start of the banquet.
The banquet was held in the garden of the other palace, with seats placed on all sides and surrounded by flowers. Several tall old trees were hung with colorful lanterns, and the long-necked palace lanterns scattered on the ground made the entire garden look like daytime. Amid the brilliant lights, eunuchs and palace maids led everyone to their seats.
After a while, Princess Ana, Princess Duoya and a few others also arrived. They went over to pay their respects to Concubine Pang as if no one was around.
Concubine Pang calmly asked them to sit down without any formalities.
Princess Duoya was restless for a moment. After looking around the venue for a while, she saw the eleventh princess sitting at the top. Her eyes lit up and she pushed Princess Ana beside her. Princess Ana looked at her coldly, and when she turned around and saw the eleventh princess on the stage, her eyes became even colder.
Princess Dona coughed a few times and lowered her voice: "If you really don't want to go to Da Zhou, you have to seize the opportunity, otherwise..."
Princess Ana bit her lip. When she heard her say that, she immediately got angry and whispered, "Shut up!"
Princess Dona used to be afraid of her. After all, Princess Ana had the highest status among these girls, and Tiedale doted on her.
But this time it was different.
Princess Ana failed to provoke the princess of Da Zhou, and finally lost to the noble lady of Da Zhou in public, making Mongolia lose face in front of the people of Da Zhou. Even other tribes on the grassland had complaints about this.
Originally, the Great Zhou and Mongolia had the intention of forming an alliance through marriage, but Tiedar doted on Princess Ana, so even if it was a marriage, it might not be Princess Ana who went.
Princess Ana may not lose this time.
Princess Ana herself knew this truth, and she looked at everyone on the field with anger and displeasure. When she saw Su Yao, her eyes became even more fierce and sinister, and she was disgusted with this annoying girl to the extreme.
If Su Yao hadn't been meddling this time, how could she have lost to those girls from the Great Zhou
The singing and dancing began, and the dancers and singers from the Great Zhou Music Bureau livened up the atmosphere. Princess Dona secretly nudged Princess Ana next to her and said, "Hey, the Emperor of the Great Zhou is here."
As expected, the scene suddenly became quiet, and Concubine Pang was the first to stand up and salute Emperor Yuanfeng.
All the female officials in the field also followed suit and bowed down.
Emperor Yuanfeng gave Concubine Pang a hand, smiled and raised his hand to the crowd to make them stand up, then smiled and said, "Today, because of the children's competition, Tiedaer lost a Ferghana horse, so he specially asked me to come here and let me give the Ferghana horse to Changning, so I came to take a look."
He paused again and looked at Princess Ana: "Princess Ana, do you have anything to say?"
In other words, Emperor Yuanfeng also knew that this princess was troublesome.
Princess Ana stood up in front of everyone and performed a Mongolian etiquette towards Emperor Yuanfeng, shaking her head slowly: "There is nothing much to say. This Princess Changning is indeed a leader among women. She is skilled in archery and horse riding. She deserves respect."
Unexpectedly, she could say nice things. The Eleventh Princess lowered her eyes and glanced at her. Before she could react, Princess Ana immediately spoke up: "Your Majesty, I have something to ask of you."
