Today’s Palace Banquet was held on the Jade Phoenix platform, and it was extremely Grand.
The Jade Phoenix platform was the place where the empresses of the past dynasties received their distinguished guests.
The fact that the palace Banquet was held on the Jade Phoenix platform showed that the Emperor and the Empress placed great importance on the selection of concubines for the Crown Prince and the others.
The ministers in the court all moved. The position of the Crown Princess, the position of Huai wangfei, the position of Xuan wangfei, many people were eyeing it.
There were even some families whose daughters were already 18 years old, but they were still in their boudoir, waiting for the Prince to choose a consort.
If their daughter’s luck was to change and was fancied by the princes, wouldn’t she be able to fly up to the branches and become a Phoenix?
Even if she couldn’t be the main consort or the secondary consort in the end, it was still better than marrying into an ordinary family.
As a result, the palace Banquet was inexplicably lively.
Not only was the palace lively, but even Dongli’s capital was also unusually lively. Many people in the streets and alleys were guessing who would be the crown prince’s Princess Consort, who would be Huai wangfei, and who would be Xuan Wang’s Princess Consort.
For a time, the entire Dongli state became lively.
Yun Qianyu had no interest in the selection of the Prince’s consort at all. Whoever became the crown prince’s consort, whoever became the Huai Princess Consort, whoever became the Xuan Princess Consort, what did it have to do with her?
She only wanted to do one thing today, which was to break off the engagement with Xiao Jiuyuan.
Now, she no longer wanted to have anything to do with Xiao Jiuyuan.
She had wanted to break off the engagement peacefully.
However, it was obviously not feasible because Xiao Jiuyuan did not agree.
Yun Qianyu didn’t bother to think about the reason why Xiao Jiuyuan didn’t agree to break off the engagement. Whether it was because he wanted to repay her kindness or for some other reason, she didn’t care.
She didn’t want to have anything to do with this guy anymore, especially when she thought about the kiss last night.
Today, she must break off the engagement. If Xiao Jiuyuan refused to break off the engagement, then he couldn’t blame her for breaking off the engagement in public and giving him a hard slap in the face.
According to her understanding of Xiao Jiuyuan, if she proposed to break off the engagement in public, she would not be able to do so.
Xiao Jiuyuan would definitely fly into a rage and agree to break off the engagement.
After all, this was intolerable for the high-ranking and powerful li Prince. The engagement had been broken off, so how could he still be thick-skinned and cling to her?
Yun Qianyu’s lips slowly curved into a smile, and her depressed heart finally felt a little better.
The group of people followed the eunuch all the way to the Jade Phoenix platform.
On the way, Yun Qianyu instructed the three spirit beasts to play by themselves, but not too far away from the Jade Phoenix platform. If they found anything, they should immediately report to her.
The three spiritual beasts responded and left in a flash.
Ao Ming was a small white cat, while Lord Marten and flamy were not big, so they did not attract any attention.
Yun Qianyu and Ye Jia looked at each other and followed the eunuch to the Jade Phoenix platform.
Before they even reached the Jade Phoenix platform, they could already hear the commotion coming from inside. They could tell that there were many people inside.
Yun Qianyu shrugged her shoulders noncommittally. If she didn’t want to come here today to break off the engagement, she wouldn’t have come to attend the Prince’s concubine selection banquet.
However, before Yun Qianyu and Ye Jia could reach the Jade Phoenix platform, they were stopped.
The person who blocked Yun Qianyu’s way was actually Xiao Tianyi, the Xuan Prince.
Xiao Tianyi’s face was a little Haggard, and his eyes were full of pain. He looked deeply at Yun Qianyu, as if he was repenting.
Unfortunately, Yun Qianyu was too lazy to pay attention to this guy.
“I wonder why Your Highness Xuan Prince is blocking our way?”
“I have something to ask you.”
“Speak,” he said.
