Chapter 1347

The east side of the royal palace, Qiong Hua Park.

The scenery here was very good. Looking into the distance, there were rivers and mountains everywhere. There were pavilions and green trees, making this place look like a paradise on earth.

The ministers strolled through the Qiong Hua Park in twos and threes, giving it endless praise.

The qingan palace was in the center of the Qiong Hua Park. It was transparent on all sides and had floor-to-ceiling windows. Sitting in the middle of the palace, one could see the beautiful scenery around them. It was the most elegant palace in the royal palace.

Empress Dowager Zhou had set the Zhao Rong princess' birthday banquet in the qingan palace. One reason was because of the auspicious name and the other was to show how much importance they placed on the Zhao Rong princess.

How could the ministers that came to the banquet not understand Empress Dowager Zhou's intentions?

They were afraid that this birthday banquet would not be a good banquet!

Everyone knew this in their hearts. There were some ministers that couldn't help secretly sympathizing with the empress, but no one could say it.

When they saw each other, they were all filled with smiles. After exchanging greetings, they entered the palace and sat down.

When Chen Ning brought Xiao Ru to the qingan palace, it was not too early or too late.

"The empress has arrived!"

With a clear announcement from the eunuch, everyone in the palace stood up, welcoming Chen Ning's arrival.

Chen Ning's attire today was very appropriate. It wasn't too gaudy, but it wasn't too plain either. It was very dignified, appearing at the entrance of the qingan palace.

"Greetings to the empress!" The ministers all bowed to Chen Ning.

Chen Ning looked over the palace and found that Empress Dowager Zhou, Mo Chuan, and the Zhao Rong princess had not arrived yet.

"Everyone, no need to be so polite. Please sit."

Her voice was clear and she gently waved her hand, dismissing everyone's etiquette. Then she was led by the eunuchs to her seat and the ministers all respectfully opened a path for her.

Suddenly, she felt a sharp gaze directed at her, so she looked in the direction of the gaze.

It was a middle aged man around forty years old. He was wearing a pure gold crown and a purple robe. He had an imposing appearance and an extraordinary aura. His eyes were filled with energy, looking at her with an unfriendly gaze.

This was Chen Ning's first time seeing this person. Looking through her memories, she found that she did not recognize this middle aged man. Just seeing his crown and clothes, she knew that his rank was not low. If he wasn't a prince, then he was a duke.

She also noticed that when she entered the hall earlier, everyone bowed to her, and only this violet robed middle aged man stood proudly. Not only did he not bow and pay his respects to her, he instead revealed a disdainful and arrogant expression.

That's strange. I've never met him before, and I've never offended him. How did I offend such a big shot to the point that he doesn't like me?

But Chen Ning didn't care. She calmly walked past the purple robed middle aged man, not even glancing at him from the corner of her eyes.

In this world, she did not care about. If she and Mo, she would Hua, she, Mo, she would, she., she, Mo, and Family.

Chen Ning sat down on the empress' chair in the center of the hall. To her left was Mo Chuan's dragon chair and above that was Empress Dowager Zhou's seat. Beside Mo Chuan's dragon chair, there was a chair with a beautiful drape placed there.

Anyone with a discerning eye could immediately tell who this empty chair was prepared for.

Chen Ning's eyes swept over the chair, but she still had a faint and elegant smile on her face.
