Chapter 25: The Greeting Gift

The little bit of charming thought in Rong Jin's heart suddenly disappeared!

It was she who implicated her reputation for many years because of the waste wood, and even sold the hunting ground on her own initiative, making him lose face in front of the children of the imperial capital family!

If he doesn't ask for it back tenfold and hundredfold, he, the prince, will be in vain!

Rong Jin forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and walked straight forward.

Everyone was shocked to find that he was actually heading towards Chu Liuyue!

Walking up, he looked at Chu Liuyue condescendingly, his expression was calm, but anyone could feel the hidden turbulent waves under this seemingly calm surface!

Countless pairs of eyes were glued to the two.

The Great Elder and the others immediately stood up and saluted:

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

Rong Jin didn't pay attention to them, just looked at Chu Liuyue, and asked word by word:

"You are Chu Liuyue?"

Chu Liuyue met his gaze and said calmly:

"Exactly. ”

The hand in Rong Jin's sleeve slowly clenched.

I thought that Chu Liuyue would panic, but the girl in front of her looked calm, and she didn't see any uneasiness at all!

Where did she get her confidence from?

"It's not very old, but it's not small. Hongu thought that you would not dare to come today. ”

Chu Liuyue blinked.

"Why don't you dare to come? Didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince send someone to the Chu family to inform me that I had to come?"

Rong Jin choked suddenly, and then sneered.

"Sure enough, he has sharp teeth!"

Chu Liuyue responded with a smile:

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince, for your compliment. ”

Rong Jin took a deep look at her, turned around and walked towards his place.

The Great Elder turned around and gave her a look of disgust:

"You don't know—"

"If the Great Elder wants to be embarrassed on such an occasion, just scold. ”

Chu Liuyue said lightly, and then sat down peacefully.

Only then did the Great Elder suddenly wake up: This is not in the Chu family, but in the Mingcui Palace!

Everyone is waiting to see their jokes, and if this is the time, they will make a fuss... It's just ugly!

After feeling aggrieved for a while, the Great Elder finally waved his sleeves and swallowed all his words back.

The prince is obviously full of hatred for Chu Liuyue, and he will definitely be in trouble later.

When the time comes, he just needs to kick Chu Liuyue out in time!

...

The hall quickly resumed its liveliness, but there were still many people secretly looking at Chu Liuyue.

She didn't seem to care, sitting safely in her place, but in fact, she had already observed all those people quickly.

Except for the position of His Majesty and the Empress at the top of the middle, the main hall is divided into two parts, left and right.

The people sitting at the front are the princes and princesses with distinguished status.

She had already inquired before, and there were a total of nine princes and three princesses born to His Majesty today, among which three princes and one princess died young.

So there are only six princes and two princesses alive today.

Opposite the crown prince, sat a man in a black power suit.

He looks about the same age as the third prince, but his facial features are resolute and handsome, and his temperament is completely different.

There is a murderous aura on his body!

That's the taste that can only be honed on the battlefield!

This is the third prince Rong Jiu!

He joined the Northwest Army at the age of fifteen, and he can be regarded as a young famous general, and his reputation in the army is extremely high.

Because of this, although his biological mother is just a nobleman, she can fight against the prince!

The court has long been secretly divided into two factions, although the prince has the advantage, but now Rong Jiu should not be underestimated.

Rong Jin is naturally the king of Ping born to his mother, the fifth prince Rong Qi, and he is also one of the only two princes with a title in addition to the crown prince.

The eighth princess Rong Shu and the ninth prince Rong Feng sat next to Rong Jiu.

But there are still a few slots that are vacant.

Further back, the four major families of Si Gu and Chu Lu sat on both sides.

The Chu family is behind the Gu family, and the Lu family is behind the Si family opposite.

Of the four major families, the Si family is the strongest, and the Chu family is the weakest.

Originally, the Chu family was before the Lu family, but they have been losing day by day over the years, but the Lu family has relied on the wealth of the rich country to overtake and sit firmly in the third position.

Soon after Rong Jin sat down, there was a burst of laughter outside the hall.

At the same time, the majestic voice sounded loudly-

"Your Majesty has arrived—the Queen Mother has arrived—"

Here it comes!

Everyone hurriedly got up and saluted in unison.

"Long live Your Majesty!"

Chu Liuyue also moved with everyone.

"Haha, everyone, please get up - today is the prince's birthday banquet, no need to be formal!"

A thick middle-aged man's laughter rang out.

"Alright, Zhenzhen should go find your brother too!"

Only then did everyone see that behind the emperor and queen, there was also the fourth princess Rong Zhen.

She was also born to the current queen and is a real princess.

She looked sixteen or seventeen years old, and her face became more and more delicate in a luxurious palace dress.

"Then the father has promised Zhenzhen?"

Emperor Jiawen smiled with a doting face.

"Naturally, you are the most skinny! Look at the others, which one is as noisy as you? If I don't agree to you, I'm afraid you're going to make a big fuss today!"

Rong Zhen wrinkled his nose, but with a pampered smile on his face, he happily walked to Rong Jin and sat down.

Fools can see how much Emperor Jiawen loves her.

When the emperor and queen sat down, everyone sat down one after another.

Chu Liuyue quickly glanced up.

Emperor Jiawen, Rong Xiao.

The last time she saw him was at a court meeting.

The Great Dynasty Meeting is held once every three years, and all the vassal states of the Heavenly Order Dynasty will come to meet them.

And Rong Xiao's identity can only stand at the end, and basically he is not even qualified to talk to her.

However, she never forgot it, and at that time she was already preparing to take over her father's position, so she carefully remembered what everyone looked like and how they relate to each other.

Compared with that time, Rong Xiao seemed to be a little older, and the expression on his face and the aura around him were also very different.

Yes, he was humble at that time, and could only stand in the midst of the crowd, looking up to her from afar.

And now, his and her status has been completely reversed!

But after just one glance, she quickly withdrew her gaze.

Emperor Jiawen noticed a strange gaze falling on him, and when he wanted to look, he didn't find anything unusual.

As soon as Rong Zhen sat down, he saw Rong Jin's somewhat gloomy face, and suddenly remembered something, and looked towards the position of the Chu family.

Because Chu Liuyue's position was in the second row, she only saw a slender figure.

"Is that her?"

She approached Rong Jin and asked in a low voice.

Rong Jin let out an "um" sound.

"Snort, what can't be on the table, brother, don't worry, I'll help you get angry!"

Rong Jin frowned, but did not say anything to stop it.

That's the default.

Rong Zhen is arrogant and doesn't play cards according to common sense, but her father and mother are very fond of her, even if something happens, it won't be good.

As a crown prince, he directly got into trouble with a woman because of a hunting ground, which is really ugly.

It couldn't be better for Rong Zhen to come forward.

As he spoke, Rong Zhen had already spoken, and said in a loud voice:

"Presumably this is the 'famous' eldest lady of the Chu family, right?"

Everyone fell silent, and then immediately realized that this was Rong Zhen's trouble with Chu Liuyue!

Chu Liuyue raised her eyes.

Rong Zhen smiled ill-intentioned and said:

"I haven't seen you much in all these years. I felt like I was familiar at first sight when I saw it today, and I planned to give Miss Chu a meeting gift. ”

As she spoke, she clapped her hands:

"Someone, bring the treasure that this princess got the day before yesterday!"
