Chapter 357

There was a cool palace in the center of the imperial garden. There were no doors or windows and it was completely open, allowing one to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the garden.

The palace banquet was arranged in this cool palace and there were already tables and chairs set up. There were eunuchs leading the ministers to their seats according to their rank.

There was an imperial chair in the north facing south with a golden embroidered blanket on it. It could be seen with a single glance that it was the emperor's dragon chair, but there was no one on it. The emperor had not arrived yet.

Chu Shao Yang was King Ding Yuan, so his seat was next to Eldest Princess An Le's table.

Before they even sat down, Chen Ning saw Eldest Princess An Le holding Ye Ting Xuan's hand as they walked into the main hall.

The two of them were wearing bright clothes, just like a pair of immortals. They immediately became the focus of everyone's attention. Many officials surrounded them, greeting them and flattering them.

The eldest princess did not care about a single one of them. Her eyes swept across the main hall like she was looking for someone.

Chen Ning revealed a faint smile, knowing that she was looking for her. She wanted to let go of Chu Kai Yang's hand and go forward, but he held onto her tightly.

"Chu Shao Yang, let go of me. The eldest princess is looking for me."

"What? Are you so impatient to separate from this Prince? Do you think that the eldest princess will help you pave the road and the emperor will agree? "Chu Shao Yang gave a cold laugh.

Although he clearly knew that she was here to divorce, but seeing her excited look, it still made his heart feel suffocated.

"Chu Shao Yang, things have come to this point. Are you going back on your word?" Chen Ning looked back.

"What if this king says yes?" Chu Shao Yang said without changing his expression.

Chen Ning couldn't help being stunned. She suspiciously looked at Chu Shao Yang, wanting to see if his words were true or false.

Chu Shao Yang's expression did not change. His eyes were like a bottomless lake as he stared right at her.

Behind him, Chen Bi Yun's face turned pale, but her face was also covered by a veil like Chen Ning, so it could not be seen.

Not to mention that Chu Shao Yang's eyes did not look at her at all.

"He, he, your highness' joke, it's not funny at all." Chen Ning changed the topic and turned her head, avoiding his aggressive gaze.

That gaze looked like it wanted to eat a person.

"Ning 'er!"

The eldest princess finally noticed Chen Ning and waved at her from afar. Chen Ning took this chance to escape.

She let go of Chu Shao Yang's hand and smiled as she walked over to the eldest princess, bowing down.

"There's no need to be so polite with this princess, quickly stand up." The eldest princess grabbed Chen Ning's hand. That intimacy made everyone's jaws drop.

She pulled Chen Ning two steps away and looked over her. Her eyes were filled with shock, but when she saw the veil on her face, she asked in a puzzled voice, "Why are you wearing this thing on your face?"

Chen Ning revealed a faint smile. Instead of answering, she asked, "Eldest princess, when can Ning 'er see the emperor?"

"This princess is indeed bringing you to see the emperor. However, Ning 'er, this princess will ask you one more time. Have you really thought this through? "Ning's heart..

The eldest princess looked over at Chu Shao Yang and wanted to say a few good words for him, but she saw Chen Bi Yun standing beside Chu Shao Yang. Her face sunk and she angrily said, "That brat even brought a concubine into the palace, he really isn't a good thing. Come, this princess will take you to see the ruler."

She did not hesitate and held Chen Ning's hand. They left the Cool Palace and headed south.
