The guests were still busy gossiping about Li Shi Ying, the mysterious girl they never met, when the guard in front of the door suddenly shouted to inform the guests inside.
"Here comes his majesty, her majesty, his highness and her highness!"
The guard informed the guests so they could stood up from their seat and do a salute for the Royal family when they enter the banquet.
Hearing this announcement, Li Shi Ying look at Chen and the two of them immediately stood up to receive the Royal family arrival.
Here they come! She better be prepared now.
TAP. TAP. TAP.
When the Royal family enter the room, all the guests had stood up from their seat and at the same time, all of them kneeled to the floor, greeting the Royal family.
"Long live his majesty!" the guests only made salute for the emperor as it was usually done to welcome the emperor's arrival.
All people in the room, lowered their head and none of them dare to raise their head to look at the emperor's face. Including Li Shi Ying.
Even though she was so eager to see the emperor's face, she kept her curiosity inside her heart and followed the others to lowered her head while trying kneeling on the floor.
For her this was the first time she would do this kind of salute until she had to kneel down on the floor. Li Shi Ying was about to kneel too following others when Chen suddenly stop her.
Chen who never kneeled down to other before, stubbornly didn't kneel down! But he also stop Li Shi Ying from kneeling.
"?? Chen?? We have to kneel!" Li Shi Ying went panicked when she saw the Royal family was about to enter the room for real and she haven't kneel down yet.
What if the emperor killed her because of this??
"Miss you don't have to kneel down! Remember, your 'identity' now is someone from Zui Qiang continent! Moreover you are a translator. You only need to bend your waist" Chen reprimand Li Shi Ying action of lowering her own pride.
Before going to the palace, Jiu Wei actually had made 'identity' for Li Shi Ying. He thought it would be good to say that she came from Zui Qiang continent and from a mysterious yet powerful clan.
After all the crown prince already knew she was a translator, the emperor too would know sooner or later! So might as well faked her identity now. Moreover they were foreigner who entered the Youdu mountain so they need a very good identity for breaking this law.
If they said they came from Zui Qiang continent even the emperor couldn't do anything about them entering Youdu Mountain! They only need to show the emperor how strong they were indicating that they came from a high class family.
Li Shi Ying hearing Chen words, suddenly remembered what Jiu Wei said about her fake identity. Because she came from Zui Qiang continent, she wouldn't have to kneeled down to greet the emperor.
It would only made her 'pride' as Zui Qiang continent poeple, tainted.
Hearing this, Li Shi Ying didn't kneeled down and followed Chen to bent her waist a little doing a polite yet still prideful salute.
Chen and Li Shi Ying only politely bend their waist a little making them really stand out among the crowd who were all kneeling on the floor.
The emperor upon seeing this, was angered. Duan Hu Yan haven't told the emperor about Li Shi Ying identity so when the emperor saw this scene, he felt humiliated.
How could there is a girl who didn't kneel down before his great self? He is the emperor! Who dare to look down on him??
Duan Hui Nan who also saw this scene, felt the same as her father. She invited Chen because she had plan for him but the one who invite Li Shi Ying was Duan Hu Yan.
She didn't even want to see that b*tch face but thinking that she had to kneel down to welcome her presence, she agree to invite Li Shi Ying to the banquet.
But then Li Shi Ying surprisingly didn't kneel down! If Chen didn't do it then it is alright since he is super strong. Strong people can do anything as they please but Li Shi Ying! She is weak!
Duan Hui Nan felt as if Li Shi Ying was looking down upon her by not kneeled down to greet her.
When she saw Li Shi Ying and Chen didn't kneel down to greet her and her family, she felt offended. She want that b*tch girl to kneel down to her! She is a princess! Who is that Li Shi Ying anyway? How could she act like this?
Duan Hui Nan wanted to gave a lesson to Li Shi Ying so she suddenly did something that shocked her brother, Duan Hu Yan who knew the truth of Li Shi Ying identity.
"Father! That girl is so disrespectful! She didn't kneel down! She is looking down upon you father!" Using coetish voice, Duan Hui Yan began to complained about Li Shi Ying attitude to her doting father so she could completely made Li Shi Ying lost face.
This is a chance for her to make father emperor detest that b*tch!
