As soon as they heard this name, everyone immediately stretched out their necks indiscriminately, and looked over with their heads probed, only to see a slender shadow slowly coming out from behind the Chaofeng screen behind the Marquis of Chu.

Chu Huaiyu was originally the first talented woman in the capital, even if she was studying in Jiangnan, she could still send back some news from time to time.

Then the young talents like her even more, because she is not only very talented, but also looks like a country and a city, and the whole person has thousands of manners between her gestures, and she has almost become the best choice for Mrs. Zhengfang in their hearts.

It wasn't until Lu Yao saw Chu Huaiyu himself and appeared in front of everyone like that that she completely understood why everyone praised this person so much.

Chu Huaiyu is really worthy of the worship of those people.

She quietly glanced at the woman with a graceful posture, elegant posture and who was talking, and then turned to look at Gu Congyuan, who was expressionless, and her heart was a little more comfortable, because there was no half of the mood fluctuations on the person's face.

However, she was surprised to find that the guests who came to the banquet seemed to have known that Gu Congyuan and Chu Huaiyu were destined to have a marriage, and there would be big names like the emperor and the Marquis of Chu to match, so the eyes that looked at Gu Congyuan were more or less hostile.

Even the few young people who wanted to come to make friends with Gu Congyuan couldn't help but show embarrassed expressions, as if they were jealous and sour.

Someone asked, "Miss Chu, are there any other activities for us to come this time?" ”

Chu Huaiyu looked at Lu Yao, who was sitting beside King Cong, and only felt a burst of unhappiness in his heart, but he still smiled gently, and said, "How can you just enjoy the flowers?" Naturally, there are other activities. ”

Lu Yao looked at it with great interest, but who knew that he happened to bump into her somewhat cold eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little inexplicable, and he was very aggrieved in his heart, but it was not easy to say it clearly.

She has never cared about the eyes of others, even if Chu Huaiyu stares out her eyes, what can she do? It's not that she Lu Yao is angry, let her be.

Chu Huaiyu clapped her hands lightly, the delicate and small Jin Chuan clanged, and she ordered a girl to present something to everyone to see, and everyone immediately sighed.

"This is the bargaining chip for our first game today." Chu Huaiyu said calmly, "The East China Sea Shark Silk, it is not wet when it encounters water, it is a good thing, you can win it back and cut a new dress for the female dependent." ”

She said it very indifferently, as if the glittering things were just ordinary clothes and satin, but the audience caused an uproar.

Someone whispered and passed into Lu Yao's ears: "That's a rare shark in the East China Sea, such a thick stack, could it be that they really found the so-called shark?" ”

Some people were amazed: "I don't know, I heard that this silk silk cloth has always been the most glamorous, even the ladies in the palace can't ask for it, this Chu family is really generous......"

"That's the Chu family, the Hou Mansion of the Marquis of Chu!" Some princes and ministers whispered, "The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, don't look at the people who are now pure-hearted and have few desires are not as big as the family in the early years, but that is also called a prince!" ”

Just when everyone was sighing, Gu Congyuan frowned.

Lu Yao saw his subtle expression, daring to love This was not revealed when she saw the flowery and jade-looking Chu Huaiyu, but when someone brought out the shark silk to show off her wealth, she couldn't help but feel funny, and asked in a low voice: "What is wrong with the prince?" ”

"Seeing that the Chu family has been doing the same thing for many years, I just think it's ridiculous." Gu Congyuan said with a smile.

Lu Yao drank a cup of tea slowly and methodically, and said, "Didn't the prince tell me before that he was not familiar with the Chu family at all?" ”

Gu Congyuan was stunned for a moment and said, "It's really unfamiliar." ”

Lu Yao snorted softly, knowing that the person had a new grudge with the Chu family, he didn't want to ask more, so he only turned his head to look at Miss Chu, who was beautiful and fragrant.

She peeled off a kumquat and ate it slowly, looking very indifferent in the face of Chu Huaiyu's vicious eyes from time to time.

There was even a casual elegance to scold the absent-minded Gu Congyuan, and asked urgingly: "Hey, what tricks does your predecessor little lady want to do?" Scholarly doors are different, huh? Do you have to pay so much attention to even enjoying a flower? ”

"Ma'am."

Gu Congyuan shouted in an extremely calm voice, just like that, he screamed lightly, and then there was no more follow-up.

It seemed to be a normal call, but as soon as these words came out, Lu Yao suddenly felt a chill on her spine, she turned her head with a dry smile and looked at the person: "Why did the husband suddenly scream so scary?" In early autumn, I felt like I was in the middle of winter. ”

Gu Congyuan stretched out his hand, took the half-peeled orange in the man's hand, peeled it slowly and carefully, and carefully removed the white vein, before handing it to the man, looking gentle and ironing, I don't know if he was deliberately angry with Chu Huaiyu.

Lu Yao always felt hairy in his heart.

She quietly glanced at the man's face, and suddenly met his gloomy eyes, and the hand holding the orange couldn't help but tremble slightly, and said, "What is the prince doing?" ”

"Who did you say Chu Huaiyu is from this king?" He casually picked up the small silk cloth and slowly wiped away the juice that didn't actually exist.

Lu Yao looked at his slender and white fingers, and always felt that these hands didn't look like people who were fighting in a company, so he couldn't take his eyes off it, and said dryly, perfunctory: "It's nothing...... It's nothing, I just said, she's a stranger to you. ”

Gu Congyuan didn't listen to this person's strong words at all, and only raised the corners of his mouth to look at her with a smile: "Is your waist not painful enough, or is this king not working hard enough?" ”

King Cong looked rigid and serious, and originally didn't like to make this kind of frivolous joke with color, even if it was, it was Lu Yao's unceremonious teasing.

The so-called red one who is close to Zhu and black one who is close to ink, under the influence of his ears and eyes, Gu Congyuan gradually became a mess.

Relying on the fact that he is the invincible His Royal Highness King Cong, he dares to say anything.

Hearing this, Lu Yao suddenly turned into a big red face, his mind was confused, he quickly looked around, and immediately glared at the man with a look that went back to punish him for kneeling on the washboard, and then slowly got closer, lowered his voice, and said in an almost threatening tone: "...... I was wrong. ”

Use the most ruthless tone and say the most cowardly words.

Lu Yao can be said to have publicized this sentence to the fullest, and after she said it, she saw that Gu Congyuan's face had turned a lot, and then she was relieved.

Over there, Chu Huaiyu had already started the rules of the competition, and there were countless men who showed her favor, but she had been glancing at Gu Congyuan, who didn't pay attention to her at all.

The more she watched Gu Congyuan and Lu Yao talking, the more unhappy she became, Chu Huaiyu's heart couldn't help but start to turn quickly, and said secretly: "Lu Yao, this fox, will suffer from her for a while!" ”

Seeing that her eyes were not good at Lu Yao's side, and he didn't want his daughter to be seen in front of the guests, he covered his lips and coughed lightly twice, saying, "Huaiyu." ”

Chu Huaiyu came back to his senses at this time, and he bowed lightly: "Father." ”

She began to announce the rules of the competition: "This game is actually very simple, since you are all coming to my Chu house to enjoy Qiu Ju today, then we will compete in the form of painting, the theme is Qiu Ju." ”

After that, Chu Huaiyu waved his sleeves, and there were rows of tables set up by several subordinates not far away.

There are many contestants who are eager to try, the man just wants to win Chu Huaiyu's heart, and the other is to win the shark silk.

Of course, there are also many women who come to participate, not only for the glorious shark silk, but to show their skills in front of so many male guests, although it is not as talented as Chu Huaiyu, but at least it can make everyone remember themselves.

Chu Huaiyu should not have participated in this competition as the host, but she couldn't bear everyone's strong invitation, and she had already wanted to be in the limelight, so she just came to the stage half-pushed.

Marquis Chu and several other highly respected ministers, as referees, announced the start, so at the same time, everyone picked up their pens and painted.

Soon, Chu Huaiyu put down the pen, and the other guests were still contemplating.

No one knew that Miss Chu was talented, although everyone guessed that person would win the first prize, and some people were a little resentful in their hearts, but when the people picked up the picture of Qiu Ju beauty, everyone still couldn't help but gasp.

This painting is freehand but not realistic, the delicate beauty and the gorgeous flowers seem to compete for beauty, it looks like there is a kind of collision beauty, and because the people and flowers are delicate, and it seems extremely harmonious.

In comparison, the paintings held up by the other contestants looked so pale.

Everyone couldn't help but applaud gradually, and someone shouted: "I can't imagine that Miss Chu can not only write poetry, but also paint!" If you want me to see it, this first place must be Miss Chu! This shark must be the best to match the beauty! Do you think so? ”

The people in the audience shouted nonsense, and even Lu Yao nodded beautifully and said, "Yes, yes, the painting is really good." ”

Marquis Chu smiled lightly, but the smug look in his eyes could not be concealed no matter what.

He stroked his beard gently, gave Chu Huaiyu a modest step, and said, "Huaiyu, as the host, why are you so ignorant of restraint?" ”

"Daddy's lesson." Chu Huaiyu immediately lowered his eyes and said, "On a whim, I didn't expect it to be so public. ”

"Since some people in the audience say that the shark is matched with a beauty, but among the guests who enjoy the flowers, there is still a peerless beauty who has not yet come out to compete, is it possible that he is afraid that this little game will not succeed?"

Chu Huaiyu's sharp gaze looked at a certain place in the audience: "You said yes, Concubine Cong?" ”
