Chapter 240: Princess Zhao's Birthday Banquet
Two days later, Princess Zhao's birthday, Chu Yuean also received an invitation.
With this invitation, Chu Yue'an also had some other ideas, and learned the truth about his brother's murder from King Qin's mouth, if this matter is finally found to be related to Sun Liangpeng, then this matter will inevitably involve the Queen Mother. And now that the two princes of King Jin and King Zhao are seizing the crown, Chu Yue'an was originally reluctant to participate, but he was afraid that he couldn't help himself.
King Jin was raised by the Queen Mother, and he was the supporter behind King Jin, and he confronted the Queen Mother, so he had to stand on King Zhao's side.
I was good friends with Princess Jin before, but the two had similar interests, and in the future, I was only afraid that I would have to have a good relationship with Princess Zhao and try to get as close to King Zhao's camp as possible, so she had to participate in this birthday banquet, and she had to pay great attention to it.
At this time, Chu Li led Lu Youming forward, Chu Yue'an only thought that she was here to find trouble, but she didn't expect her to smile and groan, and she didn't have the arrogant appearance of a few days ago.
"Are you getting better?" Chu Li asked with a smile, "There have been a lot of things in the past two days, and I haven't come to visit you, but now I have some free time, so I'll come to see you." Looking at your face, it's not bad, I think you've almost recovered from your injuries. ”
Chu Yue'an smiled slightly: "It's a small injury, don't worry about it." ”
She didn't want to give Chu Li face anymore, so she sneered: "A few days ago, my aunt looked like she was shouting and shouting to kill, why did she care so much about me today?" Auntie, is this a change of sex? ”
"A few days ago, my aunt was confused for a while, and I blamed my second sister-in-law for always instigating from the side, but I have also figured it out in the past two days, we are all flesh and blood relatives, and we can't be so cold-eyed, isn't it good to be harmonious?" Chu Li smiled and talked a few words, but in the end he still got down to business, "I heard that you received an invitation to Princess Zhao's birthday?" I heard that this Princess Zhao has always acted in a high-profile manner, and this birthday banquet must have invited a lot of nobles to go, and the scene must be lively. ”
"Pretty much." Chu Yuean said lightly, "Auntie doesn't have to beat around the bush, you might as well say it if you have something to say." ”
"When you go to Princess Zhao's birthday banquet, you might as well bring me and Youming with you." Chu Li said, "For you, it's just a gesture, there shouldn't be any problem, right?" ”
Chu Yue'an has never seen such a thick-skinned person, and two days ago, she looked like she was going to be eaten alive, but at this time, she could act as if nothing had happened, licking her face and letting her take her to expand her contacts.
Chu Yue'an is not stupid, this Chu Li is a timed **, maybe she will explode and get into trouble, she thought for a while and said: "Princess Zhao only invited me alone, but I took a family to go, I'm really embarrassed, that's okay, I'll take You Ming forward, if she marries in the capital in the future, she will definitely deal with those people, and it's good to recognize a familiar face earlier." ”
Mother couldn't stand the second cousin, Lu Youming thought that Chu Yue'an would definitely refuse, and if he didn't say it well, he would retaliate, and he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, and he didn't dare to answer, but when he heard that the second cousin actually agreed so readily, he couldn't help but be a little overjoyed in his heart, and at the same time, he was still a little ashamed of himself for living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
Although Chu Li was a little unhappy that she didn't bring herself, she still maintained a smile and said, "That's okay, it's okay to take Youming, but Youming is so young, and you don't understand something, you must take care of it." ”
"Don't worry, auntie, I'll take care of my cousin." Chu Yuean said.
This reply was also quite satisfied, and Chu Li pulled Lu Youming to choose new clothes and dress up.
After they left, Caixing was a little dissatisfied: "They are so excessive to Miss, why should Miss agree to their request?" ”
Chu Yue'an smiled lightly and said: "I naturally have my own plans, right now Lu Youming is going to join the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion, the relationship between the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion and the King of Zhao is relatively close, at this time, it is also my consideration to pull Lu Youming into the circle centered on the Zhao Wangfu." In fact, the connection between people, in addition to friendship, there are interests, friendship will change, but interests are eternal, so there is no need to be attached to some small disputes in the past, or look to the future. ”
"The slave doesn't really understand." Cai Xing scratched her hair, "But Miss understands in her heart, as long as she is not coerced." ”
In a blink of an eye, it was Princess Zhao's birthday, and Chu Yuean took Lu Youming to King Zhao's mansion together.
The princess's birthday was really lively, and there were a lot of nobles in the capital, and the carriages were parked outside the palace.
Chu Yue'an lifted the curtain and took a look, only to see Princess Zhao at the gate personally greeting Princess Yu and Princess Jin, the three of them were familiar with each other, and the other people were inevitably gloomy under the identities of these three people, and they could only be reunited.
Lu Youming has participated in many large-scale banquets, but this time there are such noble relatives, her identity is not prominent, and she is not famous, she has no confidence in her heart, she held Chu Yue'an's hand, and said a little nervously: "Second cousin, I am a little nervous." ”
"Don't be nervous." Chu Yue'an lowered the curtain of the car, "It's just mortals, they won't eat you, but it's true that you should be cautious when you speak later, don't be public, don't be too intimidating, and make people look down on you." You have also seen Mrs. Hua of Zhao Wangfu last time, and when you see her again this time, remember to apologize well, and remember not to come nonsense. ”
Lu Youming sighed and said, "The misfortune that happened to Zichuang makes me still have lingering palpitations now, where do I still have that guts." ”
The two got out of the carriage together, but they met the county lord of Minzhi, who glanced at Chu Yue'an coldly, rolled his eyes, and then turned around and walked towards Princess Zhao with a smile.
"I wish my sister-in-law a day every year, and a day every year!" Lord Minzhi said with a smile, "Sister-in-law is really radiant today, and the straight sect can't take her eyes off." ”
"You can talk, so let's have a few more drinks later." Princess Zhao smiled lightly, "Come in, Princess Yu and they are also there!" ”
"Then I'll go in first to say hello to Princess Yu." Lord Minzhi smiled, "I'll talk to my sister-in-law later!" ”
Lord Minzhi entered the palace first, and Chu Yue'an then took Lu Youming over to greet Princess Zhao.
"Today is the princess's birthday, and it is also a grand event, thank you Princess Zhao for inviting Yue'an to come, prepare some small gifts, and wish the princess a happy life and Tianqi." Chu Yue'an said with a smile.
"Look at what you said, it's just a way to get the sisters together and talk together." Princess Zhao smiled slightly, glanced at the person behind Chu Yue'an, felt a little angry, and asked, "Who is this?" ”
"My cousin, Lu Youming, she admires the princess very much, so I took her over today without permission, hoping that the princess will not be surprised."
"It's more crowded, what's so strange about that. No wonder you're a cousin, you're also a beauty embryo after all! Princess Zhao praised, "Lu Youming, it sounds a little familiar, I remember, two days ago, my cousin came to the palace as a guest, and talked about the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion recently talking about family affairs, but this sister? ”
"Yes." Chu Yuean smiled lightly.
"It's such a beauty, and it can be regarded as the blessing of the Marquis of Zhongyi." Princess Zhao said with a smile and looked at Lu Youming a few more times.
Being able to get such praise from the princess, Lu Youming lowered his head shyly, but he also found some confidence in his heart.
While talking, a familiar voice came: "Sister-in-law, Xiao Wang is here to congratulate you on your birthday!" ”
Then, I saw Yuwen Jinghuai jumping down from the carriage and walking towards Princess Zhao with his head held high, he also saw Chu Yue'an, but his nostrils were facing the sky, he didn't pay attention to it, and he just acted like he didn't know.
"Sister-in-law is beautiful and moving today, Xiao Wang almost didn't recognize it, and thought it was a beauty lost from the painting!" Yuwen Jinghuai said exaggeratedly, "Where did I just get a few good Yunjin, the most beautiful is my sister-in-law's white and red complexion today." ”
Yuwen Jinghuai said this lightly, but he has always been so unorthodox, that is, he only regarded it as a child's words, and did not care about him.
"Don't be flamboyant, it's too late today, remember to punish yourself a few glasses later!" Princess Zhao said with a smile.
"Today's sister-in-law is the biggest, sister-in-law commands, don't dare to disobey!"
After Chu Yue'an said something to Princess Zhao, he took Lu Youming inside, only to hear a clear "hum" sound from Yuwen Jinghuai behind him, and he couldn't help laughing, this stinky boy, he hasn't played anymore.
Lu Youming saw that the King of Chu was still attentive to his second cousin, why was he so cold today, and stepped forward and asked suspiciously: "Second cousin, what's wrong with King Chu?" ”
"One child, don't bother." Chu Yue'an said lightly.
Just a few steps away, Chu Yue'an's collar was grabbed from behind: "Who is the child!" ”
"Your ears are pretty pointy." Chu Yuean shook her head helplessly, "I'm a child, I said I'm a child, right?" ”
Yuwen Jinghuai let go of Chu Yue'an and pointed his nostrils at her: "If you dare to say bad things about this king behind your back in the future, this king is not finished with you!" ”
Chu Yue'an still can't feel the temper of this highness, you say that he is the respect of the prince, but sometimes what he does is incredible, it is indeed like a foolish child, but if you treat him as a spoiled child, under his cynical appearance, he has bottomless strength.
Yuwen Jinghuai is a contradictory person, which is destined to Chu Yue'an's attitude towards him is also contradictory, if you want to respect and be jealous, he is sometimes very annoying and can't cry or laugh, and wants to make friends with him without a city, but I don't know how deep he is.
"Yes." Chu Yuean lowered his eyes and said.
"That ......" Yuwen Jinghuai wanted to maintain his coldness, but he couldn't help but care, so don't ask pinchedly, "How is your injury?" ”
Chu Yue'an raised his hands: "Aren't I good?" There were no serious injuries. ”
"Hmm." Yuwen Jinghuai nodded and left.
Lu Youming couldn't help but peek at Yuwen Jinghuai a few times, until now she still couldn't help but be tempted by this highness, could it be that His Highness was tired of his second cousin? I don't know why, she actually had a feeling of schadenfreude, and stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Did the second cousin make His Royal Highness the King of Chu angry?" ”
"Leave him alone." Chu Yue'an said, "We are here to attend Princess Zhao's birthday banquet today, not to see King Chu's face." ”
