"Second Elder Sister, I …"
Chu Jinfu could not swallow her anger, the words that the people of the palace spoke were all over the place, it was simply the same as her big sister who was seeking fame, she really did not want to endure.
Liu Dantong was even closer to Chu Jinfu as she said in a low voice, "Don't talk."
Chu Jinfu stood there in a daze. If the one who had said this was Chu Jinxiu, she would have definitely sneered and went to say it. But the person who said that was Liu Dantong, so she couldn't help but be stunned.
Chu Qinghuan did not expect Liu Dantong to actually help him, even though she only helped to dissuade Chu Jinfu.
But, this was already a rare opportunity, for Liu Dantong, who was usually a high and mighty person, had never put herself in her eyes. In her previous life, she had even wanted to welcome and refuse the crown prince, but that kind of method was nothing but disdain in others' eyes.
It was because his own methods were exactly the same as Liu Dantong's, who was usually noble and noble, but his goal was completely different, and it was no wonder that she would look down on him so much.
But now, it was actually helping him. It was as if everything had changed by accident. Chu Qinghuan laughed faintly, but deep in her heart, she felt a sense of relief.
Even though he was not a friend or an enemy, he was still not bad.
When Huangfu Yunqian saw the smile on Chu Qinghuan's face, she was extremely shocked. Just as she was about to abandon the person who was talking to her and teach Chu Qinghuan a lesson, she was stopped by someone.
"Qian Er, why did you have to dirty your own hands for a lowly person?"
That voice, how cold and disdainful was that, caused Huangfu Yunqian to be stunned for a moment, and then, with a fawning face, she said: "Big Sister Wushuang, could it be that you have some sort of trick up your sleeve?"
Huangfu Wushuang!
The only daughter of the Prince Yin of the Zang Dynasty, other than being the second favorite, Emperor Xuanwu had been showing all kinds of respect to him all these years. However, this number two was the top amongst all the princesses.
Huangfu Wushuang laughed soundlessly, but his gaze was extremely indifferent as it swept across Chu Qinghuan. The depths of her eyes flashed sinisterly, and no one noticed, "Just you wait."
He actually dared to steal the eyes of the third brother. Chu Qinghuan, I will show you today, what is reverence! Don't even think about touching my, Huangfu Wushuang's, things!
Huangfu Yunqian's attention was caught, but she could do nothing about it. She was just about to ask again, when she heard the eunuch say in a slightly shrill voice, "Your majesty the emperor has arrived!"
Everyone saluted, and the moment Chu Qinghuan lowered her head, she could only see a body of bright yellow color, the most dazzling color in the world.
In his previous life, Huangfu Shu must have done all of this for the sake of this yellow machine head on, right? The corner of her lips couldn't help but curl up into a smile, but he heard Emperor Xuanwu say, "An ordinary palace banquet, why must all of you be so courteous? Stand up. "
Emperor Xuanwu supported the Empress Liu, the Empress's love for him was always perfect, "Empress, look, the Madame Jinguo has hidden the Miss Xue well, with such an appearance, he actually managed to match up to Qian Er, that ghost spirit."
The second time he was compared to others, Huangfu Yunqian's face changed, but immediately after, she laughed and pulled at Emperor Xuanwu's arm: "Royal Father might as well not have this daughter. Just now, Zhuang Shufei was even teasing Qian Er, saying that she is inferior to Chu Xiang, Second Miss who knows etiquette and knows humor."
Emperor Xuanwu said with a face full of smiles, "Oh? "I've heard that there's a young miss in Chu Qing's residence who has come to let me have a look."
Chu Jinxiu could not help but feel a bit angry, Huangfu Yunqian was the type of person who did not do anything well. How could she leave such an opportunity to meet Sheng Yan to that girl! She had never been summoned by Emperor Xuanwu before!
Seeing Chu Qinghuan's indifferent look, Chu Jinxiu suddenly felt at ease. It didn't matter, Emperor Xuanwu probably did not have any good feelings towards that face, when he appeared again, he would probably be able to leave a deep impression on Ninth Wu Zun.
"This subject's daughter, Chu Qinghuan, greets Your Majesty." Chu Qinghuan leaned forward and bowed, the etiquette was as flowing as the flowing water, there was nothing to be picky about, even Emperor Xuanwu could not help but to praise.
"Chu Qing has always been a good person and her reputation is well-deserved. Raise your head and let me have a look."
After she said that, all the young ladies of the capital could not help but feel envious and jealous towards Chu Qinghuan, just like how Chu Jinxiu had before.
After all, Emperor Xuanwu had never participated in the Tai Liu Flower Banquet, if not for the arrival of the Madame Jinguo in the capital this year, he probably would not have come here.
Her hair was black like the clouds, and she was wearing an orchid silk dress. Emperor Xuanwu felt that this outfit was somewhat familiar, "Qing Huan, that's a good name, did Chu Qing give it to you?"
Chu Qinghuan slowly raised his head, her gaze still looking straight at Long Yan, without a single bit of a woman's shyness. "Reporting to the emperor, this subject's daughter's mother started it."
This face was nothing out of the ordinary. However, Emperor Xuanwu still thought that it was familiar, and could not help but smile: "Really? I never thought that even though Madam Song was born in the Anping Marquis Palace, she was also so proficient in poetry. "
The Empress Liu suddenly laughed upon hearing this, provoking Emperor Xuanwu's suspicion, "What's wrong with the Empress?"
The Empress Liu said, "Qing Huan, I'm afraid that this name should be in line with 'Qing Huan', isn't that the same with the human world? Your Majesty has truly misunderstood. Chenqie remembers that Second Miss and Eldest Miss were born the same day, but they were not one and the same mother. The mother that Second Miss Chu spoke of, was probably the Chu Xiang's other wife. She seemed to be surnamed Yun? Your concubine can't remember, do you still remember Little Sister Xian Consort? "
It was indeed the Queen. Her actions had been so quick this time that she had made things difficult for him. It looked like the First Prince's actions had fallen into her eyes? Chu Qinghuan lowered his eyes, and under her wide sleeve, her right hand lightly clenched.
Xian Consort shook her head slightly. However, it was Emperor Xuanwu who suddenly spoke in a soft voice, "Chen … It's her. " It was as if even her expression had lightened a little because of this, but her gaze towards Chu Qinghuan became somewhat complicated, "You are a good child."
It was not a light sentence, but it made everyone guess what it was. What was that half syllable that Emperor Xuanwu had uttered? Was the indifference on his face because of that "she"?
Everyone started to speculate, a few of them looking at Song Xiangyun with their sharp eyes, only to see that Madame Song had an ugly expression, although it was hidden, but a hint of anger could be seen in his eyes. The Empress Liu naturally saw the look in the Madame Song's eyes and a faint smile appeared on her face. She then said with some surprise: "The ones that patronize this palace have already neglected the Madame Jinguo s and Miss Xue s, so why aren't they showing their seats to the Madam and Young Miss? Everyone, take your seats too. "
The Madame Jinguo didn't seem to care at all as she smiled, "Empress is too serious. This subject and my daughter have been living in Jinyang City for a long time, so I am not very familiar with the capital. My daughter just said that I would have to trouble Second Miss to bring her around in two days to familiarize herself with the local customs and practices in the capital.
Madame Jinguo had always disobeyed the rules, and upon hearing these words, Chu Qinghuan immediately reacted. The Madame Jinguo was the main guest today, the person Emperor Xuanwu had ordered to be welcomed, but he had won.
Empress Liu not only wanted to make Madame Song lose face, she also wanted to make the Madame Jinguo hate him.
However, she had never expected that the Madame Jinguo would actually spout such impeccable words, to the point where even the hole in her chest was … Chu Qinghuan raised his eyes and raised the corners of his eyes.
Sure enough, Chu Jinxiu turned and bowed, then bowed towards Madame Jinguo, "Madame Jinguo is such a merry person, I shouldn't reject you, but Embroidery feels that I have just returned to the capital and have never left my residence. I wonder, what kind of fun is there in the capital, if I neglect Miss Xue when the time comes, why not …"
"Your majesty, there aren't that many rules in the remote areas of the west of Longxi. Mother doesn't know the rules, so I hope that the Emperor can forgive me. However, this subject's daughter heard that the young ladies of the capital city have always stayed indoors until the gate is closed, so even if it was anyone else, they would not know where this city is interesting."
Xue Jinlian did not say that she must appoint Chu Qinghuan, but from what she said just now, she mentioned something. Chu Qinghuan did not know where she was going, so could it be that other people already knew? Unless you are... Going out for fun! If this were to be spread out, it would be detrimental to her reputation.
And Xue Jinlian had mercilessly interrupted Chu Jinxiu just now, what did she mean by that action? [Didn't they say you have no reputation, Miss Chu? Why do you have to meddle in other people's business?] I don't want to bother with you!
Chu Jinxiu was smart, she understood the meaning behind Xue Jinlian's words in the blink of an eye, and her expression immediately changed. Originally, she wanted to attract Emperor Xuanwu's attention, but she did not expect Xue Jinlian to say those words, which would ruin her reputation.
Just as Chu Jinxiu wanted to explain, she was stopped by the Madame Song. With this plan, anything Chu Jinxiu said would be useless. She would only try to cover it up.
Chu Jinxiu understood what Madame Song meant, but she could not take it lying down. When had she ever been humiliated like this before? Her expression turned ugly.
The noble ladies of the capital who were seated down saw that Chu Jinxiu had actually been ridiculed by Xue Jinlian. There were those who were gloating and some who were secretly worried, but no one dared to say anything.
Everyone understood that the spearhead was being shot at.
"Indeed, tigers have no dogs and girls, but Miss Xue has the same temperament as Madame Jinguo. The young miss of Chu Family had always been famous, but she was still a girl in the end, how could she have so much experience? On the other hand, who did the young miss want to recommend to Miss Xue just now? "
Empress Liu was speaking up for Chu Jinxiu! This was an undeniable fact, but Emperor Xuanwu was seated very upright, as if he did not hear anything, and his gaze was looking far ahead.
Chu Jinxiu stood up, with a slight smile on her face, as if all the things that happened just now did not exist, "Empress is very clear, this subject thinks that all the princes are familiar with the affairs of the capital …"
"I really don't agree with what Miss Chu said!"
