Chapter 10: Chrysanthemum Feast

Wen He sent Wen Zhiyu away, turned around and prepared to go back, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Fei Yun who was sweeping the fallen leaves, Fei Yun was the palace maid who was sent with her, and now she is the princess's personal palace maid, and Fei Yun is just a sweeping palace maid, which makes Wen He very proud.

"Who is this, it turned out to be Feiyun." Wen He said sarcastically, "In the past, my aunt always said that your future creation will not be shallow, it turns out that it is the creation that sweeps the floor here. ”

Fei Yun is good-looking, does things safely, is calm, and her aunt also values her, and Wenhe hates her very much on weekdays. Now seeing the palace maid who can only clean here, Wen He couldn't be happier.

Fei Yun was not angry at all, but just swept away the fallen leaves at Wen He's feet: "Sister Wen He, you stepped on the leaves, please move it." ”

Wen He sneered: "I'm still going to serve the master, so I won't bother you to sweep the floor." ”

Looking at Wen He's departing figure, Fei Yun still didn't have any expression, just continued to do his own thing.

Wen Zhiyu walked out of Yuyang Palace and saw Wen Zhiyan: "Hasn't the eldest brother left yet?" ”

"I was waiting for you."

"Big brother, do you have anything to say?"

"Isn't this here to make amends for your second brother? The second brother has always been like this, don't take it to heart. ”

Wen Zhiyu listened to Wen Zhiyan's words, and smiled gently: "It turns out that the eldest brother is here to specifically remind me and let me not take it to heart." ”

Wen Zhiyan frowned: "What's wrong with you today?" ”

"Everyone said that the eldest brother has a gentle and obedient personality, and he takes good care of us on weekdays, and he deserves to be the eldest son of the emperor." Wen Zhiyu paused, "But when this king looks at the eldest brother, he always feels that the eldest brother has too many things hidden in his heart, and he forces himself to do too many things that he doesn't want to do, which always hurts his body." ”

"In the royal family, how many people can do whatever they want?" Wen Zhiyan asked rhetorically.

Wen Zhiyan didn't say anything more, and walked away directly, Wen Zhiyan couldn't help but clench his hands at his side.

The four sons and two daughters of the Chu Emperor, the fifth prince Wen Zhiqian didn't care about the affairs of the court at all, and Wen Xize could be regarded as free-ranging this son, so he used the other three sons to form a situation of mutual checks and balances.

Wen Zhiyu is the crown prince, although his biological mother died early, but there is the Su family who holds military power behind him; The second prince, Wen Zhiyu, is very much loved by the Emperor of Chu and relies on the Emperor of Chu; And he Wen Zhiyan, as the eldest son of the emperor, his biological mother is the current queen, and his reputation among the court and the people is very good.

Three princes, three checks and balances, this is the purpose of the Chu Emperor.

Wen Zhiyan could never do whatever he wanted, because he knew that he had to maintain a good reputation in order to continue the situation of checks and balances between the three parties, which was Emperor Chu's mind, so he had to do it.

Wen Zhiyan turned around and looked at Yuyang Palace, he didn't know why, he felt that the appearance of Princess Wanyang would completely break this situation.

Wen He brought in a bowl of golden swift nest porridge for Lianzhi: "Your Royal Highness Princess, this is the golden swift nest porridge that has been simmering in the small kitchen for a long time, you can try it." ”

Lianzhi picked up the bowl and stirred it a few times with a silver spoon: "It's too hot, I'll drink it later." As he spoke, he put down the bowl, "You go down first, it's enough to have Su Ying waiting here." ”

"Yes." Wen He walked out.

Lianzhi asked, "How is she these days?" ”

"It's always restless, didn't you see the way she just approached His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Su Ying replied.

"What about the others?"

"It's not worry-free, but there is a person named Feiyun who is quite peaceful, and the slave maid listened to Su Yue and Su Qing say that this palace maid doesn't talk much on weekdays, and just does her own thing every day."

"Since the beginning of autumn, a lot of leaves have fallen in this courtyard, but every time I go out, I can hardly see the fallen leaves on the ground."

"Feiyun has always been meticulous in sweeping fallen leaves."

"Let's see."

"Yes."

"You go down too, this palace wants to be quiet and quiet." Lianzhi thought for a while, "By the way, take this bowl of porridge with you, this palace doesn't want to eat it." ”

There was only one person left in the huge hall, she took a nap, and in her dream, she seemed to have returned to Dongxia in a daze, and returned to the underground palace.

The boring training was day after day, year after year, and there were fewer and fewer people around her to train with. Finally, one day, she was told that she could start her mission, so she was embroiled in killing again and again.

Lianzhi suddenly opened her eyes, she hadn't dreamed for a long time, because she didn't dare to sleep. When she was young, she fought with her companions, and when she grew up, she killed one person after another for the mission, so closing her eyes was blood, and the faces of those who died under her sword.

Those pasts will not disappear with the change of her identity, and will never ......

Two days later, the chrysanthemum banquet held by the queen began, and this time the invited were all young ladies from the family of Xichu. And this chrysanthemum feast, all major families attach great importance to it, the reason is very simple, the eldest prince and the second prince should also choose the concubine.

Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a future crown princess, it is time for the eldest prince and the second prince to start selecting the concubines, and the queen holds this chrysanthemum banquet with this intention.

Lianzhi chose a moon-white palace dress, which was dotted with a little yellow, which was neither too plain nor ostentatious.

Su Yue waited for Lianzhi to freshen up, and Wen He immediately came over: "Your Royal Highness Princess, let the slave accompany you to the chrysanthemum banquet today!" ”

"Wenhe, the princess hasn't said anything yet, but you're in a hurry?" Su Yue has long been dissatisfied with Wen He.

"After all, the slave maid is a person in the Xichu Palace, and she can naturally remind Her Royal Highness the princess more in terms of rules." Wen He's words made Su Yue even more angry, but Lian Zhi held Su Yue's hand: "Since Wen He has said so, then let her accompany the main palace." ”

"The slave obeys." Wen He looked at Su Yue proudly, and Su Yue turned her head away from her.

Lianzhi finally took Wenhe away, Su Yue didn't know what Wenhe's temperament was, for fear that Wenhe would not serve him well, so Lianzhi was wronged.

Just as Su Qing passed by Su Yue, Su Yue grabbed her: "Su Qing, why did you say the princess took Wenhe?" Even if I'm a little unstable, you and Suying are very suitable, huh? ”

"The princess is not stupid, but Wen He thinks about it herself, how can the princess not be as good as she wants?"

"What do you mean?"

Su Qing tapped Su Yue's forehead: "You better learn more." ”

Su Yue rubbed her forehead, thinking in her heart, I hope that today's princess of the chrysanthemum banquet will go well.

"Today's chrysanthemum feast, then Princess Dongxia should come over, right?"

"I must be coming, the queen mother also wants to take this opportunity to let us meet the princess."

"Why does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to marry a Dongxia man?"

"Don't talk about this kind of thing, be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth. Don't forget, today's chrysanthemum feast is not simple. ”

"Afraid of what? It's just a princess of Dongxia, no matter how powerful she is in Dongxia, in our Xichu, she has to put away her claws for me. ”

"It's just a pity that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was forced to marry a woman he had never seen before. Didn't this hurt Sister Su's heart? ”

Everyone looked at a woman wearing aqua blue clothes, the woman looked like a gentle feeling like water, and her appearance could be regarded as standing out among the official women, she was Su Xiran, the daughter of General Su Jingshuo.

Su Jingxuan's sister Su Yu is the first queen, after Su Yu's death, Su Jingxuan has always firmly supported Wen Zhixuan, if it weren't for the Su family, Wen Zhixuan's crown prince would have been unstable for a long time. Su Xiran is Wen Zhiming's cousin, and Wen Zhiyuan's thoughts are not a secret.

But the relationship between Wen Zhixuan and the Su family has always been like a separation, and Su Jingxuan's relationship with Wen Zhixuan was close to him when he was young. But after Wen Zhiyu grew up, his relationship with Wen Zhiyu always seemed a little rusty.

However, this does not affect everyone's speculation that Wen Zhiyu should marry Su Xiran. After all, the Su family holds military power, so that Wen Zhiyu's position as the crown prince can sit more firmly and kiss each other. And Su Xiran is also a rare beauty, if Wen Zhiyu doesn't marry Su Xiran, she will be a fool.

But no one expected that as soon as the holy decree came out, Wen Zhiyu would marry Lin Wanyang, the princess of Dongxia, as the crown princess. Overnight, it seemed that the situation in Chu Jing had changed dramatically, and everyone was now speculating that who Su Xiran would marry in the end would largely mean who the Su family's military power would go to.

Everyone knows the purpose of today's chrysanthemum feast, just waiting to see if Su Xiran will enter the eyes of the eldest prince or the second prince.
