Chapter 424 - 424 423 Dont beat the grass and startle the snake
?Chapter 424: 423 Don’t beat the grass and startle the snake (First watch) Chapter 424: 423 Don’t beat the grass and startle the snake (First watch) Li Xianyun examined the list, repeating several unfamiliar names. Three were princesses from other countries, and two were Commandery Princesses.
They all sat with her and the Imperial Noble Consort in the front row, pushing the wives of several princes to the back.
Among Yelu Yan’s brothers, Li Xianyun had only met the Great Prince, Sixth Prince, and Ninth Prince. There were other princes and princesses who had been granted their own residences that she might have met, but she could not match their faces with their names.
Li Xianyun noticed a problem when she looked at the list. Commandery Princesses were children of princes and should not have displaced the princes’ wives to the back in the seating order.
If the intent was to highlight the diplomatic etiquette between two nations, placing the two Commandery Princesses in the center of the second row would suffice.
It seemed that the target of those scheming on the day of the hunt was not solely on Yelu Yan but also to cause trouble amongst the group of ladies.
If they intended to stir up trouble, the guest list was but a minor detail; there must be other contingencies in place.
Quite the diversionary tactic, they aimed to restrain Yelu Yan with this.
Suppressing the surge of emotions inside her, Li Xianyun looked at the Chief of the Department Ceremonial Affairs, and, retaining her composure, asked, “Has the official seen this guest list?”
The Chief of the Department Ceremonial Affairs smiled and replied, “I have seen it, it is arranged according to past protocols.”
Li Xianyun nodded. If she had not been compelled by the Ninth Princess to attend banquets frequently, she would have been fooled by his words.
