Soon they all arrive at the banquet hall
The banquet hall is decorated lavishly, with the floor made from rare marbles and pillar made of blue coloured jade, various relics of dragons also exists in the room, and of course there are also many beautiful immortal flowers around.
But the most eye catching will be the big blue rose that can be seen in the wall at the center of the room.
The flower itself is not just a decoration, it is an immortal flower that Lan Meigui personally created
It have the powerful effect of calming the soul, spirit, and body, it also can increase speed of cultivation, so when the hall isn't used, cultivators that reside in the palace would usually came here to cultivate.
.
Finally they all sit in their designated sitting locations.
Lan Meigui obviously at the highest sit, even higher than the emperor, with Lan Xiao, and Zi Zexian just slightly lower beside her.
While the emperor and his empress sit at the same level as Lan Xiao and Zi Zexian, his children's and concubines sit at a level lower
Then below them would be the various officials of the palace, thought only officials of certain ranks were allowed to participate, all junior and low ranked officials are forbidden from participating.
The banquet finally start after the emperor and Lan Meigui said some words.
.
Lan Xiao in all honestly enjoy the banquet so far, specially the food
Eating is one of the things that he really enjoy in his previous life, specially meat based food.
With beef rendang and traditional roasted chicken being some of his favorite food.
In the Millions Flowers Peak, the people's who cook there are the few maids that exist in there.
While cultivators specially high ranked one usually doesn't need to eat, a lot of them still does for the enjoyment.
His elder sisters enjoy eating food often thus the reason why there are maids that cooks in the peak, his sisters do know how to cook, specially You Ge.
His mother on the other hand doesn't really eat often, she does join him in dinners once a month though.
So with all these great food laying around, he is honestly having great time.
It's a simple things in life you oughta enjoy, no matter how old you might be.
Soon to some entertainment arrive in the hall in the form of beautiful ladies dancing and playing music's.
Lan Xiao glanced at his mother, there he can see her very elegantly eating a fried potatoes.
Yes fried potatoes does exists in these world, either someone invented it or a reincarnated person introduce it.
And Lan Meigui suprisingly enjoy eating it
He once asks her why does she enjoy fried potatoes or just potatoes in general so much, and she replied
"Potatoes is something I've enjoy eating back when I was still young, back then master would sometimes throw me in a big mountain to 'train' me and almost all the mountain have abundance of immortal potatoes, so I often eat them to recovers my energy and as from of enjoyment plus it's good for body, and finding out that something like fried potatoes is a great and pleasant surprise for me back then"
She have a far away and nostalgic look when talking about it.
He does wander want kind of person his mother master, the Infinity Dragon goddess is.
And so because of that, his mother develop a rather great liking to potatoes, a lot of people's often get surprised that Lan Meigui enjoy eating such mundane food, it's an immortal food, but still mundane nonetheless.
That's why here in the banquet near the place where Lan Meigui sit there is bunch of delicious looking potatoes based food.
Still even though she is eating a fried potatoes, she is eating it very VERY elegantly.
Nearing her the imperial consort and princesses can be seen talking to her pleasantly but also cautiously. After all Lan Meigui could easily destroy the empire whole, never mind that she can even destroy the entire continent if she wanted to and mind you the continent the empire is located is atleast twice as big as the entire plane earth.
Although that most likely won't happen, they would definitely lose the favor of the emperor and imperial court.
Also the thing is Lan Meigui is a woman of few words, she does speak more when she is speaking to him or her disciples, but out in public she doesn't speak much.
The only reason she is even here is because she is showing giving a face to her family, more specifically her elder sister and her uncle.
Curiously though, none of the two actually here right now.
Apparently her uncle is in a middle realm on vacation with his family, the emperor did want to call him but apparently his mother sister, Lan Xue says it isn't necessarily, something his mother agreed on
For aunt Lan Xue, she is according to his mother would meet her privately later in her room, both of them want to have a private time to talks.
.
'I wonder if mother would allow me to go visit the capital streets'
He is wondering what the street on the capital looks, so he is quite interested to visit it.
"Mother, can I look around the capital later?"
His mother close her eye and thought about it before answering
"Hmmm, you may, but someone must accompany you"
The emperor offer his assistance
"Then what about my daughter? she can accompany you to look around the capital"
Lan Xiao nodded at this suggestion.
"Then, Lan Yue come here"
Responding to his call a young woman in her early twenties appear.
She similar to her father have a light blue hair that's tied in high ponytail similar to An Bei'er, her eye however are silver similar from her mother the empress, her skin are creamy white, she is wearing a intricate light blue robe indicating her status as a member of the royal family, and her bulge is still visible in her chest even with her body fully covered indicating she have a quite sizeable asset.
All in all a beautiful young woman.
The emperor proceed to introduce her
"This is my sixth child, the third princess, Lan Yue, she is still quite young only 33 years old, she is also quite talented already at 7th stage Core Formation"
Talented indeed, Lan empire is located at the lower region of the dawn grand upper realm, already near Nascent Soul while still under fifties is considered genius even in the upper region.
Of course Lan Xiao who is still below fifteen yet already also near Nascent Soul can considered a monster.
The girl, Lan Yue knelt respectfully and introduce herself
"It is my utmost respect and honor meeting Empress Lan, along with Lord Lan Xiao and lady Zi Zexian, my name is Lan Yue the sixth child and the also the third princess of Lan Empire"
Her voice is quite pleasing to hear.
His mother eye narrow at her, and seeing that both Lan Guo and his daughter start to worry thinking if they have say anything wrong.
Lan Xiao however know that she is most likely just examining Lan Yue
Lan Meigui expression back to her usual expressionless face and give a small nod
"Then you Lan Yue would accompany my son looking around the capital, make sure nothing happen to him"
Her tone get slightly more serious toward the end
Lan Yue immediately bows deeply
"Understood Empress Lan, i will make sure he wouldn't be harmed"
Lan Meigui nodded
"Good, call him prince when you are out of the palace, I want his identity to be secret for now"
Lan Yue once again bows in confirmation
'Sweet I can go out!' Lan Xiao thought in delight.
