Chapter 143: As expected
Luo Lingsu raised her head from Mrs. Luo's arms and stared at Ye Hao blankly, there were still tears on her eyelashes, obviously ignorant, but the next moment she reacted quickly, and said in a low voice: "Naturally, I naturally remember, I will send someone to Ye Fu to you another day."
Ye Hao's smile became softer and softer, she nodded, but Luo Lingsu was frightened for no reason, Ye Hao's shallow smile was obviously very gentle, but she always felt that something was wrong, she shook her head, trying to shake off the other thoughts in her mind.
Mrs. Luo also stared at Luo Lingsu suspiciously, when did Su'er agree to sew purses for others? However, at the moment, she didn't care about this, everyone was distracted by Ye Hao's words, Luo Lingsu's low sobbing slowly stopped, her eyes were slightly red, she pinched the handkerchief, and stared at Jun Ninglan timidly, "It's Lingsu who is rude, and I hope that His Royal Highness the Sixth will not care." ”
Jun Ninglan lazily raised his lips and smiled, noncommittal, he has always been cynical, and his temperament is also incomprehensible, so everyone present did not care, even Mrs. Luo's face did not change, only held Luo Lingsu's hand tightly, giving her silent encouragement.
Ye Hao smiled faintly, originally she was the future Sixth Imperial Princess, so it was nothing to speak, she chuckled lightly and said, "Miss Luo is polite."
However, it was obvious that some people didn't buy it, there was a lady with high cheekbones and sharp beaks and monkey cheeks, her eyes were staring at Ye Hao tightly, and she smiled sarcastically: "Miss Ye is inevitably too anxious, is she protecting His Royal Highness like this?" The wedding date has not yet been set. She said with suspicion of disdain, clearly mocking Ye Hao for stealing the limelight.
Indeed, Emperor Shengwu's decree only said that the marriage would be completed after the year, and indeed did not specify the specific date, Jun Ninglan also knew that it was Emperor Shengwu's own hand, his eyes narrowed, and his eyes shot out of the Dao essence, he did not allow anyone to mock Ye Hao, he looked at everyone casually: "What is this, after all, Ye Hao is the princess of His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness is still afraid that the marriage will change?" He looked at the lady just now, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Or, this lady questions the holy decree of the father?"
He is like that, even if he threatens people, he says it very casually, just like saying it casually, but his words frightened the lady into trembling in her heart, this holy decree was indeed given by Emperor Shengwu himself, where did she dare to question it, but she hated the six princes for their strong words, she reluctantly kept silent, and secretly discussed it in her heart.
Mrs. Luo didn't want to dwell on this matter, so she took the initiative to invite everyone to the banquet, and met Ye Mei and Ye Miao, who were a little disheveled, and their faces were slightly red, as if they were in a hurry, and someone quipped: "Could it be that the two of them also came on foot like Miss Ye Si?"
Ye Mei Ye Miao listened, his face was slightly gloomy, a trace of displeasure crossed his heart, and he said apologetically: "It turned out that something happened to our sisters on the way here, which caused us to be late, and I hope that everyone will be in the sea."
The two of them were extremely reluctant, Ye Miao was even more angry, and in addition to being angry, she complained that Ye Hao was ruthless, knowing that the beggar would bring more beggars around the carriage to beg, she didn't even say a word and left by herself, a scheming woman.
She frowned to herself, Ye Mei still had a light smile and a gentle appearance, which made people feel comfortable to look at, she pulled Ye Miao and walked to Ye Hao to freeze in front of her, Ye Hao smiled: "The third sister and the sixth sister are finally here."
Ye Miao glanced at her hatefully, gritted her teeth and said, "That's not it, it's the blessing of the fourth sister." After she finished speaking, she realized that something was wrong, who was the man standing next to Ye Hao? His eyebrows are picturesque, his bewitching face, a pair of radiant peach blossom eyes look straight into her heart, he smiled very lazy, some lazy and casual feeling, she was stupid for a while, and couldn't take her eyes off it for a long time.
Jun Ninglan said, "Who is she?" He looked at Ye Hao and asked, his tone was very disdainful, like asking a kitten or a puppy about an insignificant person, very indifferent.
He had seen Ye Mei, Bian Jing's famous talented woman, in fact, he also guessed that it was Ye Miao, the third lady of the Ye family, but he deliberately asked like this, Ye Hao smiled, but also cooperated with him, and explained: "Your Highness, this is my third sister Ye Miao."
Jun Ninglan stretched out her voice "oh", and glanced at Ye Miao with a smile, Ye Miao felt that the look made her whole body numb, as if she was being stared at by some fierce beast, she clenched her palms.
The ladies and nobles on the side frowned, Ye Miao was not the maid of the Ye Mansion, how did she invite her, it was really the price of the banquet, and everyone's displeasure was obvious, even if Ye Miao wanted to pretend that it didn't matter, she wanted to cover it up, she bit her lip and stood with Ye Mei, Ye Mei sneered in her heart, Ye Miao was brainless, no wonder she was used as a raft to be laughed at.
Entering the banquet, the woman is the inner seat and the man is the outer seat, during the banquet, Mrs. Luo proposed some wine orders, and then there was a poetry competition, Ye Hao only sipped a few sips of hot wine slowly, she had participated in many banquets since her previous life, she was used to such boring banquets, so she just kept silent and waited until it was over.
Suddenly, there was a question in the men's seat for the women's seat to guess, and I heard that it was the eldest prince and the prince of Chu, so the nobles were eager to try, and they couldn't wait to hear the content of the topic.
The eldest prince simply came to the women's seat in person, followed by Jun Shaonian and a few people, several princes are all very noble, each has its own merits, excellent demeanor, standing together is even more pleasing to the eye, Jun Lin Chu clenched his fists, raised it and said to everyone: "Today, His Royal Highness will give you a question for the noble ladies," he said: "Those who guess will be rewarded."
When the nobles listened attentively, he said in a deep voice: "Your Highness has a bird in her hand, do you guess, is it dead or alive?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and there was a bird in Jun Linchu's hand, and a noble girl thought about it and said firmly: "Dead, because I didn't hear the bird's call."
Jun Lin Chu smiled and shook his head. So, someone else quickly followed, "That's the living."
There were different opinions, and there was a dispute for a while, Ye Hao only held the wine glass, and smiled lowly, she laughed extremely shallowly and even a little sarcastic, just thinking that the best old wine slowly flowed out, in a chaotic environment, Jun Lin Chu looked in, and directly pointed at her, he said coldly: "What does Miss Ye think?"
Ye Hao didn't shirk either, stood up, her face was calm, and she hooked her lips and said: "Whether you are dead or alive depends on Your Highness's mentality," everyone was puzzled, looking at each other, she did not change her face, and continued unhurriedly: "If I say it is alive, Your Highness will strangle it, and if I say it is alive, Your Highness will let it go, so the answer is not me, but Your Highness's heart and your mentality."
There was silence, even Jun Lin Chu frowned, Ye Hao was right, he did think so, if they guessed that it was alive, he would strangle the bird, if it was dead, he would release the bird, but Ye Hao actually broke his mind with one word, and it was really not a simple woman.
No wonder even the always cynical sixth child begged to marry her like his father, what a rare treasure, she is getting more and more intelligent, he can't let go, isn't he still married? Anything is possible.
How could Ye Hao not see the greedy look in his eyes, she sneered, such a useless person is only worthy of Jun Chengxuan and others as a shield. She remembered that in her previous life, Empress Jingde went, and Jun Lin Chu was isolated and wanted to cooperate with Jun Chengxuan, but Jun Chengxuan slowly ate away at all of him, and finally ended up with a tragic death.
Jun Lin Chu raised his chin and asked arrogantly, "What do you want?"
This can be regarded as taking the initiative to ask Ye Hao, Ye Hao thought about it, Jun Lin Chu is also a prince, so she pulled the corners of her mouth and said with a smile: "Your Highness, the courtiers don't dare to ask for a reward, so just let the bird go." With so many people present, Ye Hao couldn't say anything to ask for, and it was her to be soft-hearted and save the bird's life.
Jun Lin Chu raised his eyebrows in surprise, thought for a moment, let go of his hand, there was nothing in his hand, only empty air, there were no birds at all, Jun Shaonian was also staring at Ye Hao with faint eyes on the side, thoughtful.
Only Jun Ninglan lazily circled his chest, looking at Ye Hao, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose into a perfect arc.
At the end of the banquet, Ye Hao and Ye Mei and Ye Miao were about to get into the carriage, Jun Ninglan grabbed her, ignoring Ye Mei and Ye Miao's surprised looks, he looked at her as if no one was around, and smiled evilly: "Ye Hao, His Royal Highness really didn't misunderstand you."
Ye Hao looked at him calmly, opened her lips and said, "Your Highness, is this a compliment to me?"
He raised his eyebrows and smiled ambiguously, "Naturally, she is worthy of the woman I fancie, you obediently wait for me to marry you." This is the first time he has promised her so openly in public, if he is not moved, it will be fake, Ye Hao's heart beat half a beat slower, and she stared at him with some surprise.
He said that I am not His Royal Highness, he is serious, Ye Hao was uncomfortable by his affectionate eyes, she didn't understand what it was like, she only knew that her heart was in turmoil, like countless ants eating her heart, she only replied indiscriminately, turned around and hurriedly entered the carriage.
Jun Ning Lan didn't spend anything, turned around and got on the horse, facing the eyes of Jun Lin Chu Yin Owl, he shrugged his shoulders, hit the horse and walked forward, Jun Lin Chu immediately caught up, and one after the other, Jun Ning Lan hooked his lips and smiled, slowed down and waited for Jun Lin Chu to catch up.
Inside the carriage, Ye Mei frowned and asked, "Fourth sister, today do you know that those beggars will catch up with our carriage, so what is the reason why you deliberately did not take the carriage?" She was not in a questioning tone but in an affirmative tone, and even some questioning anger was mixed in, Ye Miao was also staring at Ye Hao, eager to overshadow her with her eyes.
Ye Hao glanced at them and said, "Originally, in the winter, you rewarded a hungry beggar, and the rest of them were naturally red when they saw it, and they rushed up to grab the silver," she said lightly: "I remember, I told you, you got into trouble."
After saying that, she closed her eyes as always.
Luo Mansion, Luo Lingsu returned to the house with a calm face, sat on the embroidery pier, her eyes swept over the purse hanging from her waist, she was thoughtful, and asked the maid who was waiting on the side, "What kind of purse did I promise to make for Ye Hao at the banquet in Ruiwangfu?" ”
The maid shook her head blankly, puzzled: "Miss, are you confused?" You didn't talk to Miss Ye that day, where did you get your purse? ”
