Chapter XVI Candidates for the Crown Prince

The banquet started as scheduled, and Lin Baijing walked towards Yuan Chu Feng as soon as he entered the table, still holding a wine glass in his hand, but after facing Yuan Chu Feng's cold gaze, his footsteps stopped, and then returned to the back in a gloomy manner.

"Xianggong, do you really want to join the command of King Zhennan?" Ke Xin'er sat beside Lin Baijing and asked in a low voice. Her eyes looked at Ning Liuying from time to time, with a vague reluctance and jealousy in her eyes.

"Shh Lin Baijing hurriedly pulled her sleeve, "Can this matter also be brought to the palace?" He cautiously looked at the situation around him, and saw that everyone was chatting with people he knew well, and no one noticed his situation here, so he was relieved.

"The Holy Lord has had no heirs for many years since he set out on the expedition, and there are only two princesses under his knees, so King Zhennan may not be able to seize this opportunity."

Ke Xin'er opened her mouth slightly and looked at Lin Baijing in surprise, so does King Zhennan have great hopes of becoming the crown prince? In the future, wouldn't this Ning Liuying, whose eyes are above the top, become the master of the first palace?

Ke Xin'er clenched her fists tightly, the unwillingness in her eyes was even more obvious, she asked herself that she was also a first-class talented woman in Beijing, if it weren't for bad luck, how could she lose to a lowly woman like Ning Liuying?

"Now even if the beauties around King Zhennan are cold to us, we have to bear it, and we can't offend people anymore." Lin Baijing groaned, and looked at Ning Liuying who was looking down at the dishes with his head down.

is such a beauty, even a man will be tempted by her.

The more Ke Xin'er looked at Lin Baijing's eyes, the more she felt that something was wrong, and she sank her face, "I think it's fake to compliment King Zhennan, but you really have a little thought about Ning Liuying." ”

"You can't talk nonsense, but if you let others hear it, won't it ruin my reputation?" Lin Baijing said sharply.

Ke Xin'er lowered her head and replied sullenly.

"Brother Huang." The emperor who was sitting firmly on the top suddenly shouted loudly, and everyone's eyes immediately fell on him, and after hearing his words clearly, they all looked at Yuan Chufeng.

Yuan Chufeng is now in the limelight, although he is highly meritorious, but the emperor doesn't care at all, and he has no intention of cutting power from beginning to end, and others can't help but be suspicious.

Yuan Chufeng got up and saluted the emperor.

"I heard that you have been hiding in the golden house recently, and there is a big beauty hidden in the house, is this one next to you?"

The emperor asked knowingly, and now he is being pampered by Yuan Chufeng in the palm of his hand, who else can there be besides Ning Liuying? The other women in the mansion did not have the honor of Ning Liuying, and they could be taken into the palace by Yuan Chufeng.

Ning Liuying listened to the emperor's question, her heart trembled, and she hurriedly stood up and saluted him.

"I know the rules."

For some reason, Ning Liuying actually felt that there was some banter in his words.

"It is indeed a rare beauty, and it is no wonder that the royal brother is so fascinated." The queen sitting above said with a smile, her face was very relaxed, and she looked like a queen of the world, but she would never be a woman who made men obsessed with it.

"I heard that this woman used to be a celebrity in front of the prince of Zhou, and she was favored by the prince of Zhou in the palace of Zhou with such a beautiful woman, so she has some ability." The civil official at the head of the head snorted, and when he heard it, he knew that he was very disdainful of Ning Liuying.

Yuan Chufeng's face sank imperceptibly, and his gaze swept to the civil official, which frightened him into a cold sweat.

He had just forgotten that Yuan Chufeng was not someone he could offend, and now that Yuan Chufeng was so interested in this woman, he was sarcastic, just afraid that he would offend people thoroughly.

"Such a talented and good-looking woman must be incomparable to many daughters in the capital, right?" Fang Yingying suddenly stood up from the banquet and looked at Ning Liuying with a smile.

Ning Liuying looked at her for a while, when Fang Yingying and Fang Yiyi quarreled just now, she just glanced at it, she still had some impression of this woman, she couldn't see Ke Xin'er's hypocrisy in the past, but now she could see a trace of disdain from Fang Yingying's smile, this smile was a little similar to Ke Xin'er.

Fang Yingying's gaze in the face of Ning Liuying was very generous, not restrained at all, as if she had a lot of confidence.

"In ancient times, there was a thin horse in Yangzhou, and the woman raised by Zhou Guojiao is just afraid that it is more than that." Fang Yingying was originally a calm person, she knew that it was not easy to take down the king of Zhennan, but after being provoked by Fang Yiyi just now, she felt an inexplicable surge of anger in her heart, and when she saw that civil official sarcastically speaking against Ning Liuying, she felt that this was a good time.

The emperor just quietly looked at everything below, and didn't speak, how could the people present not understand Fang Yingying's secret words, isn't this just comparing Ning Liuying to a thin horse in Yangzhou?

Ning Liuying's cheeks were red, and she turned her head to stare at Fang Yingying with some annoyance.

Fang Yingying still had a gentle and harmless smile on her face, "There is no harm in being versatile, my mother often spurred me to learn more piano, chess, calligraphy and painting when I was at home, and I also dabbled in the Four Books and Five Classics." Saying this, Fang Yingying glanced at Yuan Chufeng shyly, but the latter didn't even pay her a little attention.

"I think this beauty is also a talented woman, and it just so happens that we also want to see what kind of talent the woman who can make the pampered king of Zhennan, who has never been in love, have talents, why don't you come and show us one?"

"The people in my house, why do you need others to point fingers?" Yuan Chufeng looked at Fang Yingying coldly, her face was as black as ink, and she knew at a glance that she was not in a good mood, although Fang Yingying knew that Yuan Chufeng doted on Ning Liuying, but she never expected that he would not give her a little face in front of so many people, and it was for a woman who almost fell into the dust.

Fang Yiyi smiled secretly beside her, once she encountered something related to the King of Zhennan, Fang Yingying really couldn't hold her breath. Now at this juncture, isn't it uncomfortable to find yourself uncomfortable?

"Brother Huang, it just so happens that I also want to see what kind of ability this beauty in your picture has, which can make you so obsessed, why don't you let her perform in this hall?" The emperor looked at Yuan Chufeng's angry appearance, as if he was a little disapproving, but instead helped Fang Yingying speak.

Ning Liuying's hand trembled slightly, she knew that she couldn't escape this time, since it was the emperor who spoke in person, where was there any reason to refuse?

The emperor saw that Yuan Chufeng wanted to refuse, so he said: "I know that you are a beautiful woman, but I and all the Aiqing will not eat her, I just want her to perform for fun." ”
