Chapter 276: The Golden Branch (5)

When people stand at different heights, the scenery they experience is very different. At this time, Huo Xiaoyu, who was standing behind Zhao Yan, listened to the tide rising during the banquet, "Prince Chitose Chitose Chitose", and she experienced this supreme royal power for the first time.

The power is overwhelming, the hearts of the people are subdued, and no one can resist the temptation of the turbulent heart of power.

Lang Lang said "no courtesy", and spread the favor between the banquet and the away banquet, at this time, Zhao Yan was undoubtedly the focus of the stars on the field, and Huo Xiaoyu on his side inevitably attracted the attention of the guests.

One is the high-spirited king of tomorrow, and the other is a beautiful and unparalleled wonderful person, and the two appear side by side in front of everyone's sight, which seems to be a tacit thing: it seems that the "Wind Lotus Banquet" has entered the real competition stage.

And this change is naturally a few happy and a few sad. The other master of the East Palace was stunned at first, but then changed into a gentle smile, and stepped forward to greet Zhao Yan gently.

Although the crown princess's greetings at this time were abrupt, it was not rude, after all, she was the original match of the prince of the East Palace, and the position on Zhao Yan's side naturally had to be left to this princess. However, at this time, Huo Xiaoyu's limelight was not covered, and the three-legged momentum pushed this accident to a high tide, and everyone was patient to see how the situation developed.

After greeting the monarch and ministers for a moment, the crown princess, who got up calmly, smiled softly, but her eyes had already fallen on Huo Xiaoyu. In the face of this beautiful person with a jade face, the dignified and virtuous princess was not much moved, but after seeing the set of jade jewelry she was wearing, the princess's smile was a little far-fetched.

Huo Xiaoyu's set of jade jewelry is called "Bihai Love", which is a tribute from Fanbang. At this time, it was worn by Huo Xiaoyu, which was meaningful.

Although the crown princess inevitably has a feeling of twisting and sourness, after all, she is a person who understands the general situation and knows how to advance and retreat, so she asked softly.

"The concubine is clumsy. I don't know which lady this fairy-like sister is? ”

Although Huo Xiaoyu, who was on the cusp of the limelight, was a little confused at this time, he was still alert to react on the spot, and before the prince Zhao Yan could speak, he knelt down in front of the two of them and asked for a salute.

"Huo Xiaoyu, a folk girl, see the crown princess. May the mother Chitose be in good health. ”

Huo Xiaoyu?! The name is a bit impressive, but the crown princess can't remember where she heard it for a while.

"She is the granddaughter of the 'Broken General' General Huo, Huo Xiaoyu."

Zhao Yan had no intention of being a little. The crown princess's heart suddenly opened, isn't she the lady of the family who was eliminated in the "fine selection"? No wonder the name sounds so familiar.

However, at this time, after seeing Huo Xiaoyu's true appearance, the crown princess had another doubt in her heart. How could such a fairy-looking woman be excluded? Moreover, now the prince seems to favor this woman.

There are four female commandments: women have four elements, one is women's morality, the second is women's words, and the third is women's appearance. Fourth, it is called women's work. On the other day, the crown prince ascended to the throne. The crown princess naturally entered the harem, and her mother was the world, and her words and deeds were all examples for women in the world.

What's more, the banquet is about to start, and the crown princess naturally puts away the doubts in her heart for the time being.

"It turns out that after Zhongliang, the Huo family's sister should hurry up." After finishing speaking, the crown princess hurriedly helped Huo Xiaoyu up modestly and decently. He reminded Zhao Yan gently: "Your Highness, please sit down with your concubines." It is good to preside over the opening of this 'wind and lotus feast'. ”

"It's still the crown princess who is thoughtful."

Glancing lightly at the panicked Huo Xiaoyu, Zhao Yan, who was smiling on his lips, took the princess and walked towards the away seat of the banquet.

During the silent banquet, the focus of everyone was not only the crown prince and princess who slowly walked towards the main seat, but also Huo Xiaoyu who quietly slipped back to his seat. And in these pairs of "attention" eyes, there is a pair of jealous beautiful eyes, which are burning their only reason little by little.

On the question of why Huo Xiaoyu and Prince Hui appeared at the same time in the "Wind and Lotus Banquet", Chu Zhen'er could no longer use a rational side to analyze its reasons. Facing Huo Xiaoyu, who was commensurate with her sister every day, Chu Zhen'er was full of an uncontrollable sense of betrayal, looking at the smile that Huo Xiaoyu threw at her side from time to time, she felt an indescribable feeling of disgust in her heart.

What kind of friendship of Jinlan, like sisters, in the end, it wasn't her Huo Xiaoyu who stabbed herself in the back!

As soon as Huo Xiaoyu sat down, her mouth was dry for a while, she grabbed the cup of warm tea in Chu Zhen'er's hand and drank it all, but she didn't notice the unkindness in her eyes.

"My sister is in the limelight at the 'Wind Lotus Banquet' this time! My sister congratulates my sister first. ”

Suppressing her anger, Chu Zhen'er sarcastically mocked Huo Xiaoyu lukewarmly, and before she had time to swallow the tea at the end, Huo Xiaoyu was suddenly choked by these words.

coughed a few times, Huo Xiaoyu hurriedly covered his mouth to contain his gaffe, and turned his head to see Chu Zhen'er with a sneering face; Her look like a great enemy also made Huo Xiaoyu's heart tremble suddenly.

I'm afraid that it was the scene just now, even Chu Zhen'er misunderstood.

"Zhen'er, you listen to my sister explain this matter to you slowly"

"You don't have to explain anything to me, anyway, my sister has successfully won the favor of the prince now, so why bother to act in front of me?"

No matter how beautiful you dress up and how elegant and decent your manners are, you can't win back the favor of His Royal Highness the Prince, and it's really ridiculous that you just made a wedding dress for someone else!

"I know you must have a grudge against your sister in your heart, but things are really not what you think. Earlier, my hairpin fell into the lotus pond, and I happened to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King Rong passing by.

"What a 'coincidence'! Others can't encounter such a good thing with all their efforts, and my sister casually dropped a hairpin and ran into it, which is really incomprehensible. Is my sister too lucky, or is she too hearty?! ”

Mustard is already there, no matter what Huo Xiaoyu says now, it is a quibble, and the more he describes it, the darker it becomes. Calming down his flustered heart, Huo Xiaoyu once again seriously talked about his views on this matter.

"My sister knows what you explain now, and you think it's sophistry. The clear is self-purifying, and there is nothing unsightly between me and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Moreover, the selection of the crown prince and concubine is a matter appointed by the Holy God, and everyone in the Great Song Dynasty knows it; I am no longer qualified to choose a concubine, and even any ill intentions are in vain. You don't joke, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't disobey the meaning of the saint, you should know this better than me. ”

Putting aside prejudices, Huo Xiaoyu's words made Chu Zhen'er a lot quieter. Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he can't break the ancestral family law, let alone the holy decree issued by the Holy Chrysostom Yuyan, which has been selected by the people of the world to witness.

A Huo Xiaoyu, she is not so capable of making His Royal Highness the Crown Prince willing to risk the world's disapproval.

"Sister, are you sincere?" faith, but still a little skeptical.

"is also a daughter, there is no need for my sister to joke about her name. The crown prince and I are innocent and frank, and it is indeed a coincidence that I appeared at the 'Wind Lotus Banquet' at the same time as His Royal Highness. ”

Seeing that Huo Xiaoyu had never changed her voice, Chu Zhen'er began to have contradictions in her heart. After thinking about it again, maybe it was really a coincidence? If you hold on to this point again, it seems that you are too villainous to spend the belly of a gentleman, and Chu Zhen'er, who has the same pros and cons at this time, immediately squeezed out a good face and climbed up the former sisterhood.

"Sister won't blame Zhen'er, right? Sister, I am also in a hurry to speak. ”

"Those who don't know are not guilty, how can my sister blame you. It's just that my sister still has to remind you about choosing a concubine, don't be too eager for quick success; It is a great blessing to be selected, but in case of failure, my sister should not care too much about the gains and losses, so as not to be heartbroken. ”

"Sister, this is too underestimated. This position of the crown prince and concubine, I am determined to win! ”

Regarding Huo Xiaoyu's persuasion, Chu Zhen'er only listened to the wind for a while, and her confident gaze couldn't help but turn to the heroic prince Zhao Yan in the main seat. And Huo Xiaoyu only smiled faintly in the face of Chu Zhen'er's competitiveness, after all, everyone has their own ambitions, and she has no right to interfere more.

But marriage is destined, who would have predicted what would happen tomorrow? Huo Xiaoyu can't, and neither can Chu Zhen'er

Two months is just a short moment in a person's life. But in this short moment, after the prince was grounded in the East Palace, Chu Zhen'er successfully entered the East Palace and became Zhao Yan's side concubine; There are ups and downs, and in other people's mouths, they are just material for after-dinner chat.

No one knows why the prince, who has always been humble and filial piety, suddenly angered Long Yan, and then was confined to the East Palace for a month by the saint for the crime of "immorality". It was privately rumored in the palace that the prince entered the palace that night to ask for his life, and it seemed that he angered the saint because of the matter of setting up a side concubine; As for the specific details, I am afraid that it will become a mystery forever.

And the matter of the prince's grounding has just reached Chu Zhen'er's ears, and this matter has undoubtedly caused an uproar in her heart!

It was not that Chu Zhen'er knew the inside story of the prince's grounding, but through this matter, she connected with a matter related to herself: during the third round of "palace selection" curtain aesthetics, the prince, who had been silent before, faced Chu Zhen'er and suddenly asked her a very strange word.

Are you Huo Xiaoyu's sister who married Jin Lan?

At that time, not only Chu Zhen'er was surprised, but even the queen and the crown princess who were present were shocked. was too caught off guard by the question, Chu Zhen'er could only answer Zhao Yan truthfully, and Zhao Yan, who got the answer, just quietly looked at her through the curtain for a moment, and then withdrew and left the "Splendid Palace".

As a result, she was set up as Zhao Yan's side concubine as she wished.

Now that the big wedding is imminent, there is news that Zhao Yan is grounded in the East Palace, and this matter has to make Chu Zhen'er pay attention. It's just that I couldn't figure out the mystery for a while, and vaguely felt that this matter was related to Huo Xiaoyu, but soon, this worry was diluted by the joy of coming.

Many years later, Chu Zhen'er once again recalled the ups and downs, grievances and grievances, and she suddenly understood why she was made a side concubine by Zhao Yan at that time.

It turned out that the reason why he chose himself was just because he was Huo Xiaoyu's righteous Jin Lan!

Cheng Ye Xiao He defeated Xiao He, the glory of Chu Zhen'er's life rose because of Huo Xiaoyu, and it also became ethereal because of her. (To be continued......)
