Chapter 120: Undercurrents are surging
Tuoba Yan, the princess of Nanzhao Kingdom, did come with a mission, and her father hoped that she could marry the Eastern Chu Kingdom, and the scope was naturally the high-ranking officials and royal families of Eastern Chu.
However, Tuoba Yan was originally reluctant to carry it out in her heart, but now that she saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li of Eastern Chu, she suddenly felt that it didn't seem to be completely bad.
The corners of Tuoba Yan's lips hooked up a charming danger, and her bright red lips were extremely eye-catching.
Prince Li naturally noticed Tuoba Yan's gaze, and frowned slightly.
It's not that I pay much attention to Tuoba Yan, it's just that Tuoba Yan's eyes are different from those of other girls.
No, to be exact, it's not different, it's just something more.
Straightforward and sharp with a bit of ambition, this kind of gaze is really uncomfortable.
Prince Li glanced at Tuoba Yan faintly, his eyes were fleeting and deep, and then quickly returned to his casual and somewhat careless appearance just now.
Liu Qianwei, who was bored watching the show, couldn't help but be a little curious about the royal people.
There are a total of five princesses in Dongchu, except for the eldest princess who has been married, the other four are still in the boudoir, and all of them have outstanding appearances, which is naturally in line with the excellent genes of the royal people.
Through the subtle expressions and movements of several princesses, Liu Qianyu can roughly analyze the personalities of several people.
On the men's side, the eldest prince Li Yunyu and the third prince Li Yunming followed closely in the position of the crown prince, the eldest prince is the eldest, and he naturally has royal handsome genes, and he looks very gentle and stable.
At least in Liu Qianyu's view, the performance of the eldest prince is more like the performance of the prince.
The eldest prince came with the eldest princess, Pan Ying, the eldest princess and the eldest prince have a son, who has just turned one year old, and it is precisely because he is still young that he did not come to today's banquet.
Next to the eldest prince is the third prince Li Yunming, at a glance, his skin is white and pure, his facial features are outstanding, there is a slight smile on his face, and his eyes are quite romantic.
The third prince has not yet accepted the main concubine, so this time he only brought one of the most favored side concubines, Shen Danhong, who is quite enchanting.
Liu Qianyu was about to retract her gaze, and suddenly, the third prince, who was concentrating on singing and dancing, glanced straight at her, and then, in Liu Qianyu's unknown expression, the third prince gave her a meaningful smile, and her expression was very playful.
Liu Qianyu's eyelids jumped, her heart was shocked, she hurriedly lowered her head, and secretly screamed that it was not good, but she tried to act as if nothing had happened.
Seeing Liu Qianyu's reaction, the third prince smiled to himself, and his smile was unusually romantic, and then he couldn't help muttering: "Hehe...... Interesting, interesting, really interesting......"
The third prince had never seen Liu Qianyu, and he didn't know her relationship with Mu Xin, and he still wondered in his heart, when did such a beautiful beauty come to Kyoto, he didn't know.
As a veteran of flowers, whether it is the top Qing official in the land of fireworks or the outstanding young ladies in Kyoto, he knows, for example...... Du Yilan beside the girl just now, but unfortunately, Du Yilan he couldn't touch and didn't want to touch it.
As a man of the royal family, he has never had too many beauties, and it is quite lively for women to raise a few more in the house.
But it doesn't matter if you don't know, it's always the children of the official family who can come.
Shen Danhong, the side concubine who was nesting beside the third prince, didn't know what she thought of after hearing his muttering voice, and her heart suddenly became vigilant.
can get to today's position, Shen Danhong is naturally not an idle woman.
After all, there are far more romances of the three princes than they have been spread.
"Your Highness, this is, I see...... Something interesting......"
Shen Danhong pretended that she didn't know anything, pretending to ask coquettishly, but in fact, she secretly observed the sight of the three princes, wondering what 'something' made the three princes suddenly interested.
However, it was precisely because of her voice that the third prince's mind slowly returned, and his eyes naturally returned.
After Shen Danhong's words went through in his mind, the third prince casually pinched her delicate face, and said with a smile: "Hong'er minds, there is another sister in the house......"
What is the ......
The temptation in the eyes of the third prince was obvious, and his fingers unconsciously rubbed Shen Danhong's cheeks, he preferred 'obedient women'.
When Shen Danhong heard this, her heart was chuckled, she didn't know what the third prince had in mind, but she still had a charming smile on her face.
Really......
Shen Danhong looked at the third prince affectionately, "Your Highness's words...... Hong'er is self-...... I don't mind, Your Highness doesn't know, Hong'er has nothing else to ask for, she just wants His Highness to be happy......," she said.
Shen Danhong smiled softly, and her eyes were not empty at all, and she looked at the three princes.
At this time, Shen Danhong didn't know who the third prince was suddenly interested in, but the method of torturing this person had already been demonstrated back and forth in his mind several times.
The third prince looked at it fixedly for a few seconds, and the temptation and caution in his eyes gradually subsided.
Then, looking away casually, the corners of the third prince's mouth slowly hooked up a smile, and his mood seemed to be happy, "His Royal Highness's Hong'er is really well-behaved and sensible......"
Shen Danhong pretended to be shy and lowered her head, "Hong'er is just happy with His Royal Highness's ......," she said.
Seeing Shen Danhong's reaction for a while, the third prince was in a very happy mood, squinting his eyes, and leisurely took a sip of wine, such a well-behaved beauty can make him pampered for so long, thinking of this, his eyes involuntarily glanced at Liu Qianyu again.
I don't know if she is as well-behaved and lovely as Hong'er.
Shen Danhong, who had been paying attention to the three princes' every move, quickly found the person who asked the three princes to say what they had just said.
Shen Danhong's uncontrollable jealousy towards Liu Qianyu's face was followed by a dangerous signal.
There are a lot of beauties in the palace of the three princes, and it is well known that the three princes of Dongchu are a romantic person, but although they are romantic, they rarely rob the people's daughters.
And generally the women he likes don't need him to put too much effort into them, just his power and money are enough to make them throw themselves into their arms.
Liu Qianyu also realized in her heart that she might be a little troublesome, these three princes definitely seem to be a difficult master, and it is better not to be too eye-catching.
I just hope that these three princes will turn around and forget about themselves.
However, although Liu Qianyu was faintly worried, she always thought that her identity as a married woman should not be too troublesome.
Because of the three princes, Liu Qianyu didn't dare to look at the youngest prince sitting next to Concubine Shu, the fourth prince.
Probably because she ate too much fruit, Liu Qianyu suddenly looked embarrassed, and some wanted to go to the toilet.
Noticing Liu Qianwei's expression, Liu Jingwan couldn't help but wonder: "Fu'er, what's wrong?" ”
Du Yilan couldn't help but look at Liu Qianyu worriedly, Gu Yayao stopped talking, and asked her with her eyes.
Seeing that both of them were looking at themselves worriedly, Liu Qianyu explained with an embarrassed laugh: "...... It's okay, it's just, probably because I ate too much fruit and want to go to the toilet......"
After Liu Qianyu finished speaking, she also convinced herself, obviously a little embarrassed on her face.
Why can't I control myself so much, I accidentally ate so much, now it's okay.
But regret is regret, if she is given another chance, she will probably still eat so much, probably because the fruits prepared in the palace taste really good, and with watching the show, it is okay.
Except for the occasional staring glance......
The two couldn't help but chuckle when they heard Liu Qianyu's words.
They thought something was wrong.
"If you go from here, if you don't know where you will meet any eunuch princess, you will know if you ask......"
Probably worried that Liu Qianyu didn't know the direction when she came to the palace for the first time, Du Yilan came over and told her very carefully where to find it.
Hearing Du Yilan's words, Liu Qianyu glanced at her gratefully, and then quietly left while everyone didn't pay much attention.
However, no matter how careful Liu Qianyu is, she can't hide from the people who have been paying attention to her from beginning to end.
Among them are Qing Yuan and the third prince Li Yunming, as well as the side concubine Shen Danhong.
Qing Yuan couldn't help frowning when she saw Liu Qianyu leaving, and then a dark light flashed in her eyes.
After thinking about it slightly, he said a word to the Eight Sages King, and Qingyuan also left the scene quietly.
Anyway, her original purpose was for Gu Qingcang, but after wandering around for such a long time, she didn't see Gu Qingcang's figure, and she couldn't help but be a little impatient.
The third prince looked at Liu Qianyu's vacant position, and thought deeply for a moment, his heart itched for a long time, and he couldn't help but move his eyes to Shen Danhong.
Shen Danhong, who noticed the sight of the third prince, had a guess in his heart, but he still pretended to be unaware and ate the grapes on the plate.
A woman's sixth sense......
“…… Hong'er will stay first, His Royal Highness will go out for a while, and he will come back in a moment......", only hesitated for a moment before the third prince spoke.
The third prince did not show Shen Danhong the reason for his sudden departure.
Shen Danhong smiled slightly, and the embroidered handkerchief hidden under the table was about to be shattered by her, but she couldn't show the slightest hint.
"Your Highness is here, Hong'er is here waiting for you to come back......"
Shen Danhong tried her best to be meek, and her smiling face didn't seem to show any other emotions, at least the third prince didn't notice anything bad when he thought he was smart.
The third prince smiled and nodded, and didn't say anything more, and left the scene impatiently.
As soon as the third prince left, the eldest prince and the crown prince Li, who were very close to him, naturally saw it and glanced at him together.
The eldest prince only glanced at it lightly and ignored it, and then only focused on whether he communicated with his princess or watched the entertainment program.
Prince Li secretly sighed in his heart, if he didn't have the prince himself, he would have left, but now he can't do it.
Anyway, his good friend turned out to be quite happy, and he didn't know where to run, but he wanted to come to a quiet place to cool off.
Of course, Gu Qingcang didn't leave the palace, because of the banquet, the officials couldn't leave casually, so he could only be detained in the palace.
He didn't actually fail to attend, but unlike others, he went there for a passing scene, which can be regarded as giving the old guy in the family a face, anyway, he didn't see the envoy of Nanzhao Guo and left.
This is why Qing Yuan thought that Gu Qingcang did not come to the banquet of the Shangyuan Festival.
