Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 319

Chapter 319: Visiting The Imperial Palace (1)
Chi Xiyou turned to look at Chi Xinru and said, “Ru’er, you should always be by Xin Xin’s side. If something happens at the imperial banquet tomorrow, General Xuan may not have time to protect Xin Xin.”

Chi Xinru patted her chest and said, “Elder Brother, don’t worry. With me by her side, no one can hurt Xin Xin. If they dare to come, I will blast their heads off with my fists.”

Hearing these violent words, Chi Xiyou and Duan Yixin were speechless.

“….”

Chi Xiyou sighed and thought, ‘Indeed… Only a brave man can marry her.’

In the evening, news about the arrival of the Xiong Nu’s envoys and the welcoming imperial banquet spread throughout the imperial capital city. While the aristocratic young masters were curious about the Xiong Nu’s princesses, the aristocratic young ladies were excited about the possibility of meeting Emperor Yong’an and taking a glance at Yan Junwang.

When the moon hung high in the night sky, everyone spent the night in excitement and anticipation. However, little did they know that a dangerous storm was brewing in the silent night.

Early the next morning, when the dark sky slowly turned into light blue, a group of maidservants walked to the main courtyard of Yan Junwang’s Mansion. Led by a middle-aged Mo Mo, they carried many trays filled with things. After walking through the gardens and long corridors, they walk through the circular gateway.

When Duan Yixin’s six maidservants saw the Mo Mo, they slightly bent their knees and said, “Good morning, Mo Mo.”

The Mo Mo nodded and asked, “Is Miss Duan awake?”

The first-rank maidservant shook her head and said, “Not yet.”

The Mo Mo looked at the sky and said, “I will wake her up.”

The maidservant stepped forward and blocked her, “Mo Mo, Wangye said that Miss Duan cannot be disturbed when she is resting.”

The Mo Mo knew that these six maidservants were not ordinary servants but secret guards and did not dare to offend them. The Mo Mo thought for a while and said, “Then we will wait for Miss Duan to wake up.”

After saying that, the Mo Mo and the maidservants who came with her stood in the yard waiting. This wait lasted for more than two hours. When the door finally opened, the sky was filled with orange clouds, and the first rays of sunlight were just emerging from the eastern horizon.

Duan Yixin was surprised to see the Mo Mo waiting there with a group of maidservants. She looked at the first-rank maidservant and asked, “Who are they?”

Hearing her question, the Mo Mo saluted Duan Yixin and said, “Miss Duan, good morning. Chief Steward Su sent me over to help you prepare for today’s imperial banquet.”

Duan Yixin thought for a while and asked, “Isn’t the imperial banquet in the evening?”

The Mo Mo smiled and said, “Miss Duan is right. But you need to choose clothes and accessories, wash your body, put on makeup, and do your hair. There are a lot of things that need to be done, and our time is limited.”

Listening to her answer, Duan Yixin already felt tired. She looked at the things on the tray and asked, “Can’t I just wear the clothes General Xuan sent me before?”

The Mo Mo hesitated for a moment and said, “Wangye has prepared a suitable dress for you today. He will be sad if you refuse to wear the dress.”

After listening to Mo Mo’s words, Duan Yixin opened the door wider, stepped aside, and said, “All right. Please come in.”

The Mo Mo motioned for the maidservants to follow her and said to Duan Yixin’s maidservants, “All of you can come in and help, too.”

The six maidservants nodded and joined the team. Four hours later, Xuan Ruiquan came to the side courtyard. Seeing no one outside, he walked directly into the bedroom.

Before he could call Duan Yixin, he saw her standing in front of the full-length mirror. When the maidservants saw him, they stopped their job and quickly saluted, “Wangye.”

Duan Yixin turned around after hearing this. Seeing Xuan Ruiquan staring at herself, she looked in the mirror again and asked, “Do I look weird? This is the first time I wear this kind of clothes.”

Seeing that she wanted to take off the hairpin, Xuan Ruiquan glanced at the Mo Mo. The Mo Mo bowed slightly and led the maidservants out. Walking up to Duan Yixin, Xuan Ruiquan took the hairpin from her hand and gently inserted it back into her hair.

He hugged her from behind and stared into the mirror. Seeing their reflection together, he smiled and whispered, “You are very beautiful.”

Duan Yixin blushed and said, “Thank you.”

The two hugged for a while, and Xuan Ruiquan said, “You must be hungry. Let’s eat something first before going to the imperial palace.”

Duan Yixin turned to look at him and asked, “Isn’t the imperial banquet only starting in the evening? Isn’t it too early to go now?”

Xuan Ruiquan took her hand and led her out, saying, “I want to introduce my Biao Ge to you later, so we should go now and see if he can meet you before the imperial banquet starts. Moreover, there is a flower banquet before tonight’s imperial banquet. While I was working, you could enjoy the flowers with Miss Chi and Young Master Chi.”

Duan Yixin was very curious and asked, “Are there many flowers there?”

Xuan Ruiquan thought for a moment and nodded, “Qiu Yuanbo said that today’s flower banquet was better than last year. He got a lot of rare flowers this year, and there should be a lot of interesting flowers at today’s flower banquet.”

As a botanist, Duan Yixin is very interested in plants. In her original world, she could only learn about plants through holographic books, so she wanted to see these rare flowers.

Xuan Ruiquan noticed that she was in a good mood and said, “Since you like flowers, we can leave early so you can enjoy them longer.”

Duan Yixin smiled at him and said, “Thank you, General Xuan.”
