Chapter 170: Choosing the Crown Princess

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I have heard that His Royal Highness likes to collect weapons, Yun Ran specially bought a divine sword for His Royal Highness from the Nanyuan Kingdom for five million spirit stones to give to His Royal Highness the Prince, talk about his heart, please His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must accept it."

Zhao Yunran took a delicate sword box from the maid's hand, opened the box and inside was a long sword, she respectfully held the box and sent the sword to Bai Luochen.

Bai Luochen glanced at it, stretched out his hand and pulled out the long sword from the scabbard, the sword was 2 feet 1 inch long, the sword body was cast and thin from thousands of years of Xuanling iron, revealing a faint cold light, the hilt of the sword was a golden dragon carving, which looked extremely majestic, and the blade was extremely sharp At that time, the real blade was like autumn frost.

"Since Miss Yunran has said so, then thank you Miss Yunran."

Zhao Yunran saw that Bai Luochen accepted the sword she gifted, and thought that Bai Luochen had accepted his heart, that is to say, Bai Luochen planned to accept himself as the crown princess.

The corners of his mouth hooked up a smug smile, and he raised the wine glass in his hand and toasted to Bai Luochen, but Bai Luochen's eyes crossed her, looking at the figure behind her, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he whispered: "Why are you so late?"

Everyone was shocked and looked up in the direction of his gaze, and couldn't help but be surprised.

It was Zhao Yunshi, the ninth lady in the Zhao Mansion, but because her mother was just a lowly Qinglou woman, she had always been looked down upon by the people in the Zhao Mansion, and she was thrown by the old lady to live in a remote firewood house, and no one in the Zhao Mansion took this Ninth Miss seriously.

And because she was born unable to cultivate spiritual power, she was regarded as a shame by the Zhao Mansion, and her sisters bullied and scolded her in various ways on weekdays, and they didn't treat her as a person at all.

But at this moment, she actually came here dressed up!

In an instant, even the old lady changed color, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Zhao Yunfei mustered up the courage to come here, but found that the banquet room was already full of people at this time, so she had to stand outside the crowd in a daze.

At a loss, he stirred the silk handkerchief in his hand vigorously, his face was extremely pale, and he looked like a flower about to wither in the dark night.

Bai Luochen didn't have the slightest surprise in his eyes, he just bowed slightly towards her, stood up calmly from the beauty surrounding, and greeted him in person: "The wine and food are almost cold, come, drink a glass of wine to warm up." ”

Zhao Yunfei's body trembled slightly, looking directly at his face, his eyes were complex and intense, it was the man in front of her who saved herself when she was almost killed a few days ago, but she never thought that she would be able to see him again, let alone that he was the current crown prince of Shuoyue Kingdom.

She took the wine glass that Bai Luochen handed to her, and drank with him, her eyes falling on him excitedly.

Remembering that day she was pushed into the sea by her eldest sister and almost drowned, he happened to pass by and jumped into the sea to save herself, and when she reported to her home, he told himself that on the day of His Royal Highness the Prince's choice of concubine, she must come to participate.

She fell in love with him at first sight, risked her life to be killed, and finally sneaked over while the banquet began to be noticed by the beauties.

"It's good for you to have a drink to warm your body, drinking too much is not good for girls."

Bai Luochen put down the cup, snatched the cup from her hand and said softly.

At this moment, one of the guards suddenly fell to the ground and fainted on the ground.

Zhao Yunfei quickly ran over, took out a silver needle from the bag on his waist, and quickly pricked several needles on the guard's body with skillful movements.

After a few moments, the guard woke up.

"I didn't expect the granddaughter of the old lady to know how to use medicine, the old lady is really well-educated, and the granddaughters who have been taught are all good-natured and smart."

Bai Luochen looked at Zhao Yunfei, who was squatting on the ground in white clothes to treat the guards, and lost his mind for a moment, and Lin Qingwan's appearance appeared in front of him.

"Thank you for the crown prince's compliment, this child is the little nine of the Zhao Mansion, two months younger than the little seven and eight, this child used to learn a little medical skills from the old doctor in the clan, and he likes to see some medical skills and plant some herbs on weekdays, and today he dares to sacrifice his ugliness in front of the crown prince, he is simply overwhelmed!"

The old lady was very annoyed the moment she saw Xiao Jiu come out, but she saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince favored her, so she took the opportunity to introduce her.

She doesn't care who His Royal Highness the Crown Prince chooses, as long as she chooses the girl of the Zhao Mansion.

A strange smile flashed in his eyes, and then he walked to Zhao Yunfei's side and handed her a crystal clear white jade pendant with his own hands, "Please accept this." ”

In front of Zhao Yunfei is a jade pendant given by the princess of Shuoyue Kingdom to every heir who is about to inherit the throne, with the royal insignia on it, which is one of the most important tokens of the person who bears the blood of the emperor.

Bai Luochen, as the crown prince, handed her this jade pendant in public, which means that the future princess he chose was her.

At that moment, all the ladies in the Zhao Mansion were stunned, especially Zhao Yunjin, who originally thought that she was destined to be the crown princess, but the bamboo basket fetched water, and she was overjoyed.

Everyone else in the hall was stunned, each with a different look of astonishment.

Zhao Yunfei was dumbfounded, stunned in place and didn't come to his senses, stared straight at Bai Luochen, standing in place without speaking or moving.

The old lady secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and on the side, she had already gotten up and left the table first, walked quickly to Bai Luochen's side, and knelt on the ground prostrately, "Thank you for the crown prince's love!" Yun Fei, why don't you hurry up and thank the crown prince for his love? ”

Zhao Yunfei reacted at this time, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said in an excited and trembling voice: "Thank you for the crown prince's love." ”

When the crown prince personally handed over the royal jade pendant to Zhao Yunfei at the banquet, the entire Zhao Mansion was shocked.

Although it was known for a long time that according to the royal tradition, the crown princess would inevitably be selected in the Zhao family, but no one could have expected that the crown prince would choose the most inconspicuous Miss Jiu.

Moreover, Miss Jiu's mother is still a dusty woman in the Qinglou, which is a shame for the entire Zhao Mansion, and the new crown prince actually did not shy away from the suspicion of including the daughter of a dusty woman into the harem and was also named the crown princess?

What kind of ...... is that? Mind?

Bai Luochen selected the candidate for the crown princess, and then exchanged a few words with the old lady, and then said that he wanted to go back to the palace to discuss with the empress when to hire the auspicious time to officially marry Zhao Yunfei into the palace, and then got up and said goodbye.

In the dead of night, when everyone was asleep, no one noticed that a figure quietly entered Zhao Yunfei's room.

He crept slowly close to her couch, and while she was asleep, he touched the head of her bed, and without hesitation, he took out a dagger shining with silver light from his arms.

stabbed at Zhao Yunfei's neck.
