Chapter 01

Have you ever been to the shangyuan festival, Fen? 7 year old Ziteng was curious about the outside world as her world only included the palace where she was born.”Your Imperial Highness, Fen has only once gone to Shangyuan with the Late Empress”."

Please, do not concern yourself with it, Your Highness”

Ziteng, the 6th Grand Imperial Princess of the Yong Dynasty was the only princess out of the 7 siblings. She possessed great spiritual energy and could summon the greatest spirits: the twin dragon, the phoenix, and the fox. She was known as the “Gongzhu zhianshi” during the war while in the palace she was the “Princess of Virtue”.

Year 235 of the Mighty Yong Dynasty

A feast was celebrated in honor of the victorious soldiers who came back from the border; victorious. Princess Ziteng, now 18 year old was invited for the first time in a public event as the Grand Imperial princess. No one knew she was the Gongzhu Zhianshi and she had successfully hidden her identity as Ziteng. Except the general public,a few who knew her, were the Emperor and Fen, Crown Princess of the Yong Dynasty.

“Oh, isn’t she our little princess” "she has grown to be quite a beauty, right 4th brother?”

“Greetings, your Excellency”

“Prince Chen, I think we should hurry since father is in a good mood. It would be better if we don’t keep him waiting. Since our dear princess is already late.” (Underestimates)

Itch...why I had to run towards them when I’m in a bad mood. Being invited was enough courtesy but to attend it…I’m already feeling sick.

“Then, Ziteng will be on her way to the banquet”. (Polite bow)

She was wearing a bright purple silk pien fu with a beautiful headdress with amethyst embedded. The embroidery on her soft silk pien fu was so mesmerizing that the all the palace guards and nobles whom she came across were amazed. The unique color was still unknown to the palace and the state.

She rushed towards the banquet hall with her two trusted maids, Yi and Xi’ai.

“I might get scolded by my father again”

“My lady, it’s better to hurry fast”.

They reached the Banquet hall.

The banquet was noisy and loud. The bands were playing music and the court dancers were dancing gracefully. The emperor was sitting on his dragon throne, the Grand Empress Dowager beside him. The Ministers, Generals, soldiers and the princes along with their wives were present.

(Inside the Banquet hall)

"Your Majesty, it was all thanks to the Gongzhu Zhianshi, if she wasn't there, we would've lost."

"Is it so? I'm impressed"

Her Highness, the Grand Imperial Princess of Virtue of the Yong Dynasty!

Here she comes!

The eunuch cried out!

Everyone was curious to know the princess. She was known to be a beauty and was almost the talk of the town. She entered the hall

" No way, she is the Gongzhu Zhianshi."

Everyone was shocked to know the real identity of the princess.

“Greetings to His majesty, Long live the emperor”

“Please forgive me as I was late to the banquet”.

“Today is an auspicious day, be seated and enjoy”.

“Thank you, your majesty”.

The audience was awestruck to see the princess.

Ziteng saying no word decides to ignore all the people in the hall and sits down.

“Everyone’s enjoying the banquet, it seems.”

”My presence was not even needed”

“My Lady…Don’t say that… Yi say something...hurry!”

“Well, my lady, you do have your presence, you will be the talk of town and the women will be copying your style”

“You’re right”

(chuckles).

I can’t wait to see for myself. It’s going to be wonderful (dark aura engulfs the hall)
