Being a princess in a world with more men than women

Chapter 107 Lou Moyu Attends the Palace Banquet

He knew his wife. She was arbitrary, unreasonable and willful. She knew that the regent was engaged to the princess, but she still tried every means to marry him. How could she give up so quickly?

Maybe she just felt that she had no chance in the past year or so, so she wanted to seduce these husbands?

In the past, Jiang Tian also held Zhang Menglan in his heart, even though she was arrogant and spoke ill of him.

He felt that as long as he worked hard, was more patient, and obeyed her in everything, she would always see the good in him.

But a few years have passed, and Zhang Menglan's heart is still on the Regent, without any change, and she still compares him with the Regent everywhere.

He is tired and it is time to let go.

But just when Jiang Tian wanted to give up, Zhang Menglan changed. She became considerate, attentive to his every move, gentle and caring, which warmed his cold heart little by little.

It would be great if it could continue like this!

Even if she was lying to him, Jiang Tian hoped that she would continue to lie. He would rather live in her lies and never wake up.

The Yangchun Palace was decorated in a grand and majestic manner, with banquets placed everywhere, and people coming and going in an orderly manner.

The seating is arranged in "family" units, with the woman and her husband sitting in the front and her concubines sitting in the back.

But everyone hasn't taken their seats yet.

The women sat together in groups of three or four chatting, while the men sat in pairs of three or five, playing chess, drawing, reciting poems, playing the piano and the flute. It was a lively scene.

Lou Moyu and Lou Yi sat in a corner. This was the annual banquet, and Lou Moyu was not qualified to attend.

But the emperor named him and he was on the invitation list, so Lou Moyu brought Lou Yi with him.

He didn't care what the emperor's purpose was, as long as he could see the princess, it would be worth it.

He hasn't seen Xu Yuexi since the last time Lou Moyu was driven out of the palace by the emperor.

Although he knew through his own channels that Xu Yuexi was doing well, he wanted to see her very much.

If I don't see you for a day, I miss you like crazy.

What’s more, it’s been more than ten days!

"Master, please don't sit here.

This opportunity is rare, you should communicate with others more, show your talents, and let the emperor see your extraordinary qualities, so that you will have a chance to marry the princess."

"Lou Yi, for people of our status, it would be nothing but humiliation to try to strike up a conversation with them."

Who is he and who are the people present? He would not be so stupid as to offer himself to others for humiliation.

"But......"

"Okay, don't worry. Don't worry, even if I, your master, sit here and do nothing, the princess will still like me."

"Pfft! Some people are just like 'a toad wanting to eat swan flesh'. You are a lowly person, and you still want the princess to like you?"

"That's right. You have the nerve to come to the palace banquet when you reek of money."

"..."

The relationship between Lou Moyu and Xu Yuexi was not deliberately concealed. Anyone who wanted to find out would definitely know it clearly.

How could a mere businessman like him catch the princess's eye? How could she not be jealous?

So even if he hides in a corner, trouble will still come to him.

But who is Lou Moyu? He is not even afraid of the emperor, so how could he be afraid of these children of officials?

He was too lazy to argue with them. They couldn't do anything to him. They were just using his status to make their own arguments.

No matter what they said, Lou Moyu always kept smiling, without any change in expression, which made them feel like "punching cotton".

"I want to challenge you to a competition of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. If you lose, you must leave the princess and never come near her again."
