"How's the Eldest Imperial Princess' foot doing? Can she still walk? We can't delay her appearance at the state banquet any further . "
However, Imperial Physician Fang shook his head . "We still need to monitor it . "
Tolerating the pain, Ning Anlian suddenly spoke up . "No, this Princess must go . "
I have been at the Imperial Physician Institute for too long . It’s likely that everybody is already irate, and if I stay any longer, everything that’s happened may be exposed .
Seeing her impatience, Imperial Physician Fang stopped her immediately . "Be patient, Eldest Imperial Princess . Let this humble official complete the treatment first . "
With how much pain she was in, Ning Anlian didn't dare to take things lightly . She didn't know what Su Xi-er had done to make her ankle injury so severe .
After another fifteen minutes, Imperial Physician Fang slowly removed each needle from Ning Anlian's ankle . He directed the medicine boy assistant to prepare an herbal compress for Ning Anlian to apply to the area, as well as giving her some medicine to help relieve the pain .
"It's not hurting anymore . " Ning Anlian finally felt that the pain in her ankle had receded .
Imperial Physician Fang who was beside her dissuaded her . "It may have improved, but Your Highness should still be careful about your actions as to avoid worsening the injury . "
"This Princess understands . " Ning Anlian then stood and headed for the state banquet with Wei Mohai .
Once she reached the atrium, everyone’s attention was drawn over by the announcement of her arrival .
After waiting for such a long while, many people impatiently raised their heads and craned their necks to take a look at who had just walked in .
Chu Linglong was curious and raised his head to watch . He then spoke in a mocking manner . "After waiting for so long, it’s nice for the Eldest Imperial Princess to finally grace us with her presence . It was tough to keep my anticipation in check!"
The rest of the crowd chorused . “Indeed, it was quite the wait!”
Ning Anlian was dressed in a stunning purple princess banquet gown . The purple gemstones in her hair ornament swayed as she walked, while the long train of the gown spread out behind her, dazzling everyone .
Her makeup was on point, emanating an alluring aura from her brows .
The men present had seen their fair share of beauties, but were still starstruck by Ning Anlian's appearance . She really did look gorgeous at first glance .
Of course, it was all thanks to her makeup and dress that she was able to elicit such an amazing response . In order to establish that she was better than that bitch Ning Rulan, she had already had this dress custom-made months before the banquet . All the hair accessories were created in a similar manner, with Ning Anlian having gone all out in order to let others remember that she was the prettiest .
She entered the hall in a composed manner, her steps measured while she wore a cordial smile on her face .
Pei Qianhao took a glance at her . She's not even close to being comparable to Su Xi-er . Although the purple dress Su Xi-er wore was less extravagant than Ning Anlian's, the difference in disposition can’t be bridged . The dress that Ning Anlian is wearing is nothing short of crude and vulgar . He felt disgusted to even take another look at it .
Under the lead of the palace servants, she first walked to her table before she faced the envoys and curtsied . "This Princess is sorry for being late today . I will first punish myself as apology by drinking three cups . "
Right afterwards, a maidservant was already making her way forward to pour the wine .
Chu Linglong suddenly chuckled at her statement . "The Eldest Imperial Princess sure has self-awareness . Prince Yun had also mentioned that the princess should punish herself with three cups of wine for being late . "
"Of course . " Ning Anlian lifted the precariously filled wine cup before speaking again . "This Princess offers a toast to everyone with these three cups; let them also serve as an apology for being late . "
After downing three cups of wine consecutively, Ning Anlian could feel the burning sensation in her throat . It was really rough to drink three cups of such strong alcohol on an empty stomach . If not for that fact that people of Nanzhao were used to drinking alcohol, she would’ve already been feeling nauseous .
