"Your doubts are clarified, now it’s my turn." Mu Qingge stood atop the banquet’s main seat, her posture upright, her gaze as cold and piercing as a spring.
The banquet, which should have been a dazzling extravagance, under her manipulation, became as silent as a stern court.
The layers of veils obscured the faces of the Demon Clan dignitaries attending the banquet. They could only see her indistinct silhouette and hear her cold voice.
That voice was pleasant but carried an undeniable assertiveness.
Outside the hall, the dancing girls were all prostrated on the ground, watching their Princess from afar with admiration in their eyes.
They had never seen a woman dare to speak so freely, without losing ground, in front of such distinguished and noble figures. The invisible pressure almost engulfed the entire banquet hall.
Ling Jiu quietly glanced at Ji Fu beside him, as if asking what this Princess intended to do.
Ji Fu only shook his head silently, giving him a reassuring look to stay calm.
On the other side, Qing Yan likewise looked at Qing Ze, whose meaning differed little from Ling Jiu’s.
Qing Ze’s gaze scanned over, raising an eyebrow slightly. As if to say, no matter what the Princess intended, the four of them only needed to support her, balance the situation, stabilize the court, this was what they needed to do now.
The four of them exchanged glances and reached a consensus.
And on the opposite side, Su Sheng and his group also exchanged opinions secretly. They too were unsure of what Mu Qingge intended but were unhappy being suppressed by the aura of such a woman.
The banquet hall was very quiet.
Because no one could grasp the routine of this new Princess, no one spoke.
Mu Qingge’s lips slightly curved up, showing a faint, cold smile. Her gaze swept towards the people behind the layers of veils and slowly spoke, "With the King missing, you still have the heart to feast here. Is this your loyalty?"
Her words fell heavily to the ground.
Yet it caused those behind the veils to change color! They should not be wearing such a tall hat, a slight carelessness and it might bring disaster upon themselves.
Su Yan stood up and said to Mu Qingge across the veil, "Princess, we are also very anxious about the King’s disappearance. Today’s banquet is for you..."
"For me?" Mu Qingge mercilessly interrupted him.
This made Su Yan’s expression very unpleasant.
However, separated by the veil, no one could see it.
Mu Qingge mockingly said, "Vassal Lord Su Yan, is there a question you might have gotten wrong?"
Mu Qingge slowly sat down, lazily resting against the back of the chair, tapping lightly on the armrest with her fingertips. "This is the Taixuan Ancient Palace of the King. And I am the Princess. To return to my own home, do I need a group of outsiders to welcome me?"
Su Yan choked, unable to reply.
Mu Qingge’s assertiveness and that aggressive aura made him unable to release his pent-up power.
He widened his eyes, staring furiously at the indistinct silhouette high on the main seat, the black Demon Spirit Qi continually swirling in his palms.
Suddenly, a hand pressed on his wrist.
He lowered his gaze and saw Shu Quan slowly shaking his head.
Su Yan snorted coldly, angrily sat down, and turned his head aside, seemingly unwilling to concern himself with Mu Qingge anymore.
Su Sheng spoke lightly, "After all, the Princess is new to the Taixuan Ancient Palace, and the King is not present. Besides, you and the King are not officially married, so claiming to be the master seems a bit far-fetched."
Mu Qingge’s lips curled slightly, her gaze cold, "Even without a grand wedding, I am the mistress here. Don’t rush to refute, let no one forget, the child in my belly is your future Crown Prince."
The future Crown Prince!
These words made many people’s eyes narrow sharply.
"Your usurping of the host makes me very displeased, I’m sure the King would also be very disappointed upon his return," Mu Qingge said quietly.
"This is outrageous! Your status has yet to be confirmed by the King, yet you’re assuming the air of a Princess! We don’t accept this!" Suddenly, someone stood up and voiced opposition.
Mu Qingge’s formidable aura was something they could hardly bear, unwilling to submit.
This voice of dissent made Mu Qingge’s gaze sweep over coldly, laughing without speaking.
"Who dares to defy!" At this moment, Ji Fu spoke, standing up calmly.
"Indeed! I’d like to see who dares not to submit today. The identity of the Princess is not something you idle loafers can casually question," Ling Jiu also stood up, jesting.
"Ling Jiu, don’t go too far!" Another voice called out.
Ling Jiu sneered disdainfully, "Too far? How could it compare to your blatant disregard for the Princess and hierarchy?"
"Humph, any random woman can claim to be the Princess of the King. You brought this woman here, naturally, you defend her. Should we also find a woman, claim she is also the King’s woman, also a Princess?" someone spoke discontentedly.
The idle Demon Clan nobles began to express their dissatisfaction.
