Zombie Princess - Chapter 50

 The banquet was held in the Chunhua Hall (Spring flower Hall).

  It was March the beginning of Spring. In the garden in front of the hall, the peony bloomed, and the butterflies danced. On the fluffy soft grass, there was a colorful veil tent, which was specially designed for the girls to rest and enjoy the scenery.

  When Luo Fu arrived, the sound of the Qin surrounded her. 

  She glanced around. The girls who were present were all beautiful and graceful.

  Empress Dowager called all the outstanding girls in Beijing to show them to her grandson.

  As a divorced person, Luo Fu came here purely for fun. This disguised blind date had no relation with her. She was very relaxed. She just came there to have fun.

  After being separated from Aunt Zheng, she entered a silk tent in the corner.

  There was a Huanghuali* square table with a few dishes of delicate snacks placed on it.

  She tasted a few and lost interest. Now that she could order food from the system, she was no longer a starving ghost who just wanted to eat everything she saw.

  “What do you think of the pleated skirt I wore today?” A clear voice came from outside the tent, full of pride.

  “Well? I haven’t noticed it. The skirt fanned out beautifully when you walked around. It’s so beautiful. It must have cost a lot of money?”

  “This was made of Shu embroidery of Jin. This skirt alone costs 20 gold. However, my mother said that if I get noticed by His Royal Highness at the flower viewing banquet, then this dress is worth paying for.”

  Luo Fu wanted to say, ‘Girl, your mother is right!’

  The King of War was probably the brightest golden turtle* in the Qi Empire. Whoever married him could live the second half of her life in leisure.

  Just then, a voice filled with contempt was heard, “Oh you want to be seen by His Royal Highness with just your status! Keep dreaming.”

  This fight of words instantly stirred Luo Fu’s gossip heart. She immediately bought a handful of melon seeds and ate them, and she looked around with interest.

  “You! What’s wrong with it? At least I have the money to dress myself well. Not like someone who comes to such an important banquet without a good piece of clothes. You just came in a white dress. I am like a lotus who grows in mud but doesn’t have a trace of mud. What are you? A fairy shit! “

  “You! Vulgar! Don’t you just rely on your mother to have some stinky money? What if you have money? But you will always remain from the common merchant family who could never be on the same stage* as nobles! People from noble families like me, who have wisdom in hold, elegance in mold are more valued. Do you dare to think of His Majesty? You are just a Toad who wants to eat swan meat! “

  “Oh!” Luo Fu grinned. 

  She said that Xuan Yi was a swan! Ouch, her belly got sore from laughing.

  “Who is there?” A girl in splendid dress yanked open the veil of the tent. She was searching for the culprit, but when she saw Luo Fu, she stayed stunned for a while.

  She had heard the stories of the beauty who caused the fall of the country. Someone with such beauty appeared before her.

  Luo Fu reluctantly stopped smiling, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to overhear you.”

  The long silent system bee emerged, “Of course you did it on purpose.”

  Luo Fu gave her a smile.

  “You … Are you the Princess of War? Oh no, how can you be called the Princess of War anymore? It should be Miss Luo.” A woman in pink covered her face and smiled.

  Her identity was uncovered, and the little girls who have initially been hostile to her were relieved.

  They were rejoicing in their heart. Fortunately, this Luo Fu had already been married; otherwise, how would someone compare to her?

  On the basis of appearance, family history, talent, the girl was far better than everyone present there!

 Luo Fu was also unlucky. If His Royal Highness was replaced before she became the Princess, wouldn’t they have been together now! But she became the wife of the impostor. 

  So no matter how good conditions one had, if one’s luck was bad, everything became useless.

  The girls strangely felt a little sympathy for Luo Fu.

  Luo Fu was too lazy to pay attention to what the little girls were thinking. She stretched her lazy waist, patted the shell of the seeds that accidentally got on her body, and walked out of the tent.

  The next moment, she heard the eunuch’s salute, “Empress Dowager arrives–”

   Empress Dowager came first, followed by the Empress and concubine, and a long line of servants, all the way.

  The little girls in the garden who talked or played the Qin, they all kneeled to the ground, saluting the noblest women in the empire.

  “Raise. Raise,” Empress Dowager got down from the phoenix sedan chair and said with a kind smile.

   The Empress and concubine helped the Empress Dowager into the hall, and one by one, the crowd followed. They entered in succession and seated according to their grade or status.

  After a few seconds, the highlight of the banquet/ the show arrived.

  Luo Fu thought, ‘This is all a routine.’

  His Royal Highness, Chen Wang, finally arrived.

  However, his style was different from what they imagined.

  Shouldn’t the entry of His Royal Highness, the noble and incomparable Chen Wang who held the military power, be a heroic one, each step filled with magnificence? But what was this casual walk that too with a puppy in his arms?

  “Bow-wow!”

  In the eyes of everyone, the puppy barked in a certain direction.

   Chen Wang stroked his head and glanced at her.

  Luo Fu glanced at him, “…”

  Wasn’t that doughnut? She thought that this little guy was missing, but he was kidnapped by Xuan Yi!

  And she never expected that the surprise Doughnut would bring her was far more than that.

Huanghuali- fragrant rosewood. It means “yellow flowering pear” wood. Rare beautiful and expensive wood. 

Golden turtle: refers to the noble son.
