Chapter 168: The Crown Prince Chooses a Concubine

The Imperial Palace of the New Moon Kingdom.

"Returning to the Empress, according to your instructions, your subordinates have been following Prince Rui using stealth techniques, and he really did as you said, and went straight to Prince Rui after leaving Lingyun Palace."

A black-clothed guard respectfully knelt outside the screen of the Lingyun Hall and said.

"Heh, did he really think I'd give him a chance to reconcile them? I've worked hard to cut off the connection between them, how are the things you are preparing? ”

The empress asked as she looked coldly at the black-clothed guard on the ground.

"Back to Her Majesty the Empress, it has been arranged according to your instructions, and it is guaranteed to be foolproof."

The black-clothed guard, who was kneeling on the ground, replied confidently.

"Stand down, remember that you must ensure that the plan goes smoothly, if you get out of the half-point pool, you will not be spared."

The Empress said in a cold voice.

"Yes, the subordinates will definitely not disappoint the empress, and the subordinates will retire."

The man in black wiped the sweat from his forehead and stood up and retreated.

The mansion of the Zhao family of Shuoyue Kingdom.

The sky has not yet dawned, the Zhao Mansion has already arranged the flowers, a palace lamp picked up, sparsely scattered in the garden, each palace lamp is decorated with crystal pieces, the light of the dragon ball shines in it, it flows out of countless bright lights, so beautiful that it is incomprehensible.

This palace lamp alone costs tens of thousands of taels of silver

On the other.

"When will His Highness the Crown Prince arrive?" Zhao Yunfeng saw that everything was ready, and couldn't help but turn his head and ask his henchman Fugui.

Xiao Hongfei leaned over respectfully and said, "Just now, someone from the palace reported that the canonization ceremony had just ended and had already set off from the palace, and it was estimated that it would be half an hour before it arrived."

"Then let the ladies of the Zhao Mansion start to prepare." Zhao Yunfeng knocked a folding fan in the palm of his hand. said in a low voice, "Especially Xiao Qi, she has always been procrastinating, but don't wait for the prince to come and even paint her makeup." ”

"Yes, my subordinates will send someone to urge again." Xiao Hongfei knew that Zhao Yunfeng was born to Zhao Yunjin who was eccentric and his own mother, and he intended to recommend her to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who came today, so he smiled and said, "The subordinate sent a maid to urge her early in the morning, and Miss Seven has been nervous since early in the morning, and I am afraid that she will be in a hurry to wait." ”

"Really? Xiao Qi's girl will even be nervous? Zhao Yunfeng has always had a very good relationship with his sister, and when he thought of the girl who was not afraid of the sky and the earth on weekdays, he couldn't help but laugh out loud when he was afraid.

"Isn't that girl usually high-minded and no one cares about it? Isn't it who came to the house to propose, and she ignored it? ”

Zhao Yunfeng said with a smile.

"It's not someone else who came today, it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today," Xiao Hongfei also smiled, "Anyone will be nervous, and it is normal for Miss Seven to be nervous." ”

Zhao Yunfeng thought for a while, and whispered: "You go and tell Xiao Qi, the prince will come in a while, and she can show her talent when the time comes, the crown prince should like women who are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and if appropriate, you can also be bold and lively, it is said that the crown prince does not like too quiet and dignified ladies." ”

"Really? It turns out that the crown prince doesn't like quiet ladies? "Xiao Hongfei didn't expect the crown prince to dislike everyone's ladies? Instead, you like lively and bold women?

"By the way, I also told Xiao Qi that she is absolutely not allowed to mention Prince Rui in front of the crown prince, and she can't mention half a word, understand?" Zhao Yunfeng carefully thought about the relevant details from the palace and admonished.

"By the way, Xiao Qi's piano playing is excellent, and the dance is also very good, if you have a chance today, you can show your hand, but you must be ready, you must ensure that the performance is foolproof, don't smash the performance, there is only this opportunity."

Zhao Yunfeng looked at Xiao Hongfei and said, thought about it carefully, and said, "That's all I can think of, all in all, let Xiao Qi must seize the opportunity, whether he can achieve Xiao Qi's blessing." ”

"Yes, the subordinates know, and the subordinates will go immediately." Xiao Hongfei remembered them one by one, and then ran away in a hurry.

Zhao Yunjin and himself are compatriots of the same mother, and they are also the youngest in the Zhao family, although she is not a descendant, and her appearance is not as good as that of the other five sisters, but she is better than her simple-mindedness, lively and active, maybe it is just what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes.

When the crown prince arrived at the Zhao Mansion from the palace, the sky was still bright.

The sunset is slanting westward, reflecting on the water surface of the fish pond in the garden of Zhaofu, the sparkling light is refracted under the crystal lamp, and it seems that the stars in the garden have fallen, the carriage stops, and Bai Luochen, who is lightly robed and ribbond, walks down from the carriage.

He walked through the long corridor of the Crystal Palace with the lights of the Crystal Palace, and he looked like a celestial figure.

When they saw his appearance clearly, all the people in the Zhao Mansion couldn't help but be distracted.

"OMG! Brother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... He...... How good-looking you look? Zhao Yunjin stood behind him, couldn't help but pull Zhao Yunfeng's clothes, and shouted in a low voice, with excitement and surprise in his tone: "It's so good to see and suffocating."

"Xiao Qi, Zhuang Focus, quickly wipe the saliva from your mouth, don't let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince see it." Zhao Yunfeng couldn't help but smile and scold, but there was something unpleasant in his heart.

Yes, this Royal Highness the Crown Prince is simply the darling of heaven, and he was born with the most noble bloodline of the Shuoyue Kingdom, although he was not liked by Her Majesty the Empress when he was a child, and because of his father.

He was also once neglected and disliked by the world, but today he suddenly turned the tables around, and he was able to become the only prince in the feminine Shuoyue Country.

Unlike myself, because I was born badly, although I worked hard for half my life and tried my best, I still have to look at the faces of others to live, for fear that if I am not careful, I will lose the favor of my grandmother and be expelled from the house.

People and people, sometimes it's really chilling.

Bai Luochen lightly ordered the Zhao Mansion, who was kneeling on the ground, to flatten his body, and after a brief conversation with the old lady Zhao of the Zhao Mansion, he got up and walked into the main hall.

It was still early, and before it was time to choose a concubine, the old lady took Bai Luochen to tour around the Zhao Mansion, and introduced several well-designed garden landscapes in the mansion in detail.

Zhao Yunfeng followed behind them with a few young ladies, and everywhere they went, when the old lady introduced the scenery to the crown prince, those aristocratic ladies who were carefully dressed up walked in front of Bai Luochen's eyes intentionally or unintentionally, laughing softly, looking forward to it, and chaotic eyes.

However, Bai Luochen's expression was flat, he didn't talk much, but he was polite and polite, and his eyes never stayed on any girl.

The old lady had been carefully observing the expression of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and seeing the unwavering eyes on his face, she couldn't even see the Crown Prince's intentions at all, and couldn't help but wonder a little, could it be that these granddaughters of hers, he couldn't even look down on any of them? How good is that?

"Help!" Just as they were passing by a garden arch bridge, a little maid suddenly slipped and fell into the pond.

"Oops! How careless! Several young ladies around let out a complaint.

Just as everyone was exclaiming, a light green figure suddenly jumped into the pond and rescued the little maid to the edge of the pond.

The person next to him finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly pulled the two up from the edge of the pond.

Zhao Yunjin scolded softly: "Qiu Ju, there are distinguished guests here today, don't be reckless when walking, be careful." ”

"Thank you...... Miss Seven! The maid turned pale with fright, and hurriedly bowed her head in thanks.

A small commotion quickly subsided, Bai Luochen looked at Zhao Yunjin, who was wet, took off his robe and handed it over, "Put it on, be careful of the wind and cold." ”
