Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 1572: Chapter 1573: The Eldest Princess’s Banquet

”Good stuff, haha, good stuff!”

Ye Luo was overjoyed, eager to see what expression Li Muxin would have upon seeing this item.

...

”Set off to the Princess’s mansion, today I must win the beauty’s heart!”

With a wave of his hand, Ye Luo took the lead and walked out!

In fact, this time, the Princess was merely holding a literary gathering, and the people attending were those she had invited.

So it wasn’t exactly a grand banquet, which is why it was normal for Ye Luo not to know about it.

Moreover, even when Ye Luo was the Ninth Prince of the Great Tang Empire, he had no interaction with the Princess.

Even if the Princess hosted other banquets, it’s unlikely Ye Luo would have been invited.

At this moment, Ye Luo’s alias was Wen Yu, because the royal family of the Demon Clan bore the surname Yu, and the real name of the Demon Clan’s Third Prince was Yu Wen!

However, Ye Luo didn’t care much for such an alias; Ye Luo was Ye Luo, and sooner or later, he would make the identity of both the Ninth Prince of the Great Tang and the Third Prince of Da Yue be attributed to him!

The group quickly arrived at ”Elegant Bamboo Pavilion,” the Princess’s personal territory, which was rarely open to outsiders.

The Elegant Bamboo Pavilion was a vast bamboo forest with countless varieties of bamboo, making it quite picturesque.

By this time, many noble youths from the Great Tang Empire, and even some foreigners, had already gathered at the Elegant Bamboo Pavilion.

It was known that the Princess of the Great Tang Empire was quite the desirable match. If anyone married her, just her territory alone was enough to make people envious, not to mention having the Emperor of Great Tang’s eye on you.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that nearly every powerful family domestically in the Great Tang Empire had tacitly allowed their younger generation to pursue the Princess.

Such were the alluring interests represented by the Princess.

Upon arriving at the Elegant Bamboo Pavilion, Ye Luo realized there seemed to be quite a few rivals in love!

This Princess Li Muxin was already someone Ye Luo was interested in, and Ye Luo was curious to see who could possibly take her away from him!

...

”Has that kid arrived?”

Inside a secret chamber, the Emperor of Great Tang was observing the outside world. In truth, Li Muxin found it odd that her father had come, considering she was hosting a rather ordinary literary gathering. However, the Emperor of Great Tang made a remark that left Li Muxin with no room to refute.

According to the Emperor of Great Tang, the Princess was already of marriageable age but had yet to find a suitor, and he was here to find a suitable Prince Consort!

With that said, what else could Li Muxin say?

Fortunately, once the Emperor of Great Tang arrived, he stayed hidden in the secret chamber observing, without making an appearance, which made Li Muxin feel a bit more at ease.

Of course, what Li Muxin did not know was that the Emperor of Great Tang had come specifically to see Ye Luo.

After all, Ye Luo had suddenly taken independent action, and without a sound, completed the replacement without even utilizing the countless efforts spent by the Emperor of Great Tang in arranging for it.

He naturally wanted to see the result, for if the replacement was unsuccessful, all the prior arrangements would have amounted to failure!

”Your Majesty, the Ninth Highness has already arrived, and judging by the appearance of those from the Demon Clan, there is seemingly no suspicion; the Ninth Highness indeed lives up to his reputation, his methods are truly impressive!”

There weren’t many who knew about Ye Luo’s plan to replace the Demon Clan’s Third Prince, but naturally, the most trusted eunuch of the Emperor of Great Tang was among them.

However, the eunuch wasn’t aware of the other details, thus his attempt at flattery unexpectedly backfired.

When the Emperor of Great Tang heard how adeptly his eunuch praised Ye Luo, his brows slightly furrowed.

What exactly was on his mind, nobody could tell.

Regarding Ye Luo’s performance, the Emperor of Great Tang both acknowledged and guarded against him.

After all, Ye Luo’s reputation in the Great Tang Empire was soaring.

From eminent families to ordinary folks, there wasn’t anyone who didn’t know of the Ninth Highness, quite possibly overshadowing even the undistinguished Crown Prince.

It could be said that the Emperor of Great Tang harbored quite a bit of discomfort in his heart!

If only Ye Luo truly were his son, how wonderful that would be?

Unfortunately, Ye Luo was just a pawn they had discovered. The greater Ye Luo’s fame, the larger a threat he posed to the Emperor of Great Tang!

Thankfully, due to the current identity of the Third Prince, Ye Luo couldn’t reappear anytime soon, perhaps he might slowly be forgotten?

The Emperor of Great Tang quietly observed Ye Luo’s every move, continuously contemplating in his mind.

The secret chamber was rather unique and very distant, the Emperor of Great Tang was merely observing Ye Luo through a holographic projection.

Thus, Ye Luo would have no way of discovering this at all.

Ye Luo was walking alone in the Elegant Bamboo Pavilion, silently observing the surrounding scenery.

Because this was, after all, the Princess’s personal territory, naturally, those entering here, regardless of status, were not allowed to bring escorts, not even the Crown Prince of the Great Tang was permitted.

It was the sleeping Princess Li Muxin, she indeed had her privileges.

Within the Great Tang Imperial Family, among so many princes and princesses, who would dare not address her as ’Royal Sister’ upon meeting her?

That status was definitely not inferior to the Crown Prince!

”Hey, isn’t this Brother Wen? I didn’t expect you to chase all the way here as well!”

Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind Ye Luo.

Ye Luo turned around and saw a dashing young man.

After some thought, Ye Luo recalled that this youth actually had some connection with the previous Third Prince.

It turned out that this youth was also a suitor of Li Muxin’s, and the first time the Third Prince saw Li Muxin, this guy was also there, however, the relationship between the two wasn’t good, one could say, every meeting with the Third Prince inevitably brought mockery from this youth.

Though the Third Prince was lustful, he wasn’t stupid. He knew very well that provoking a noble son from the Great Tang Empire wasn’t a wise tactic, so each time he met this guy, he chose to back down.

However, now the Third Prince was actually Ye Luo!

Whoever this person might be, it’s best not to provoke Ye Luo, otherwise, he’d be dealt with without hesitation, and even if he were killed, the Emperor of Great Tang would side with Ye Luo instead of this fellow.

”So it is Brother Bai, I trust Brother Bai has been well!”

Ye Luo smiled slightly, displaying considerable etiquette, as if the two were old friends!

This demeanor took Bai by surprise, for before now, Ye Luo had always avoided him, never facing him so candidly!

What was going on with this guy today?

Perhaps because of rivalry in love, Bai had never seen Ye Luo... or rather, the previous Third Prince, favorably, and each meeting involved finding various reasons to trouble the Third Prince!

After responding, Ye Luo turned to leave.

But a malicious glint flashed in Bai’s eyes, and he immediately began speaking again...
