Chu Nian peeked at the maids beside her, these maids all had beautiful and lovely faces, but they were all wearing strong suits, Chu Nian couldn't help but sigh in her heart, if the maids in the Great Cool were also dressed like this, I am afraid that the harem would not need three thousand beauties, but after thinking about it, she suddenly wondered how many male pets there were in the empress's harem, she raised her eyes and looked at Ming Xiu walking in front of her, and after a while, Ming Xiu noticed the blazing gaze behind her.

He frowned and turned around, "What's wrong with you?" Today is much more unusual. ”

Chu Nian pursed his lips slightly, and at this time, a scantily clad man happened to pass by, and when he saw Ming Xiu and the two of them here, the man seemed to think for a while, but his face was arrogant, and he didn't look at the two of them anymore.

The secret guards who followed behind the two of them were angry, and the dark three took the lead in speaking: "The people in this Xichu Palace are all nostrils facing the sky, and besides, a man is dressed so brightly, it is really despised by people. ”

"You know what?" Secretly said sourly: "I didn't see that kid was born good-looking, this is the Xichu Palace, maybe that kid is the empress's male pet, male pet, isn't it a harem concubine, it's not impossible to have a higher vision." ”

"Then our Highness is also good-looking, can you also be a male pet......" The first few words of the dark third came to an abrupt end, not for anything else, just for the inexplicable cold air emanating from the straight back in front of him, the dark third swallowed his saliva, and silently leaned behind Chu Nian, "What, I said the wrong thing, how can His Highness be a bullshit male pet?" ”

When these words fell, even Chu Nian turned his head to look at the dark three who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, Chu Nian felt funny, and couldn't help but add fuel to the fire, "What do you mean, the face of your Royal Highness can't even be a male pet?" ”

Dark San's face was stunned, and the dark eyes on the side were fast, and he hurriedly dragged Dark Three to block his mouth, for fear that Dark Three would spit out some shocking words again, and muttered in a low voice, "You dog mouth, can you be tighter!" ”

This scene caused the two expressionless Dark Two and Dark Four next to him to laugh, Chu Nian had already grinned at the corners of his mouth, only the back in front of him, in the scorching summer, forced out a bit of breath that could freeze to death.

Realizing that something was wrong, Chu Nian held back the smile on the corner of his mouth in time, and took a few steps forward with a serious face: "Ahem, Your Highness, Dark San didn't mean that." ”

Ming Xiu glanced sideways slightly, revealing a half-cold face in response, and then withdrew his gaze and no longer looked at Chu Nian.

Chu Nian also felt bored, and at the end, he retreated to Ming Xiu's side and honestly became a eunuch.

The group followed behind a maid until they walked to the door of the main hall where the banquet was held, Ming Xiu's figure suddenly stopped, and when Chu Nianzheng was puzzled, he saw Ming Xiu turn his head with a cold face, and a pair of narrow eyes looked at her with a bit of seriousness.

"You're so silent, do you want a few male pets too?"

Chu Nian was stunned, and immediately reacted to what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was worried about along the way, and couldn't help but hide his face and snicker, then saw Ming Xiu turn his head and no longer look at her, but his voice fell lightly, "If you dare to find a male favorite, don't want me." ”

When these words fell, Chu Nian looked at the back of the person who was marching again in front of him with a smile, what kind of image did she give him, so that he could think that she would go to find a male pet? Still jealous?

When the guards on the side saw this, they each laughed secretly, but no one dared to make a sound.

The secret guards were once again unsurprisingly stopped at the door of the hall, when Ming Xiu and Chu Nian arrived, the hall was already full of people, most of them were officials with their families, and their family members were mostly handsomely dressed men, each of them sat honestly next to their "Xianggong" in the posture of being a "good wife", that look, even if Chu Nian was a daughter, he felt quite awkward.

"Nephew, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

When Ming Xiu and Chu Nian entered, the originally noisy hall suddenly fell silent, and the first to speak was the empress at the top, at this moment there was a man sitting beside her who looked not too young, this man was luxurious, but he also looked inexplicably a little more elegant, although he was old, but in his appearance, he could also see that he should be a handsome jade boy when he was young.

At this moment, the empress was looking at Ming Xiu with a gentle smile, and everyone in the hall also looked curiously at the young man standing in the middle.

Ming Xiu bowed slightly, "It's late to clean up, I hope the empress will forgive me." ”

The Empress nodded gently, "Sit down." ”

Ming Xiu retracted his face, walked steadily towards the vacant seat on the side of the empress, and waited for Ming Xiu to sit down, and the hall regained its vitality.

Chu Nian stood on Ming Xiu's side, looking for something in the hall without hurrying, at this time, a woman walked in from outside, this woman's dress was very different from the woman Chu Nian saw in Xi Chu, a light blue long skirt fluttering, hanging clouds, soft makeup, fair skin, a few tassels on the bun, hands properly placed in front of the waist, when pacing in, you can see a little deliberate slowdown.

She bowed to the empress Yingying, "Mother Emperor, the sons are late." ”

The empress nodded with a cold face, and looked sideways at Ming Xiu beside her, "Virtuous nephew, this is my third princess, Yuan'er, who has come to see the crown prince Ming Xiu." ”

The woman raised her eyes to look at Ming Xiu, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes that were three points similar to Xichu Yueling, but after a moment, her face was slightly red and she bowed, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Ming Xiu frowned without a trace, and nodded slightly, "The third princess is fine." ”

Seeing that Ming Xiu didn't seem to want to do more greetings, the empress didn't say anything, just gave Xi Chu Yuan a seat, Xi Chu Yuan sat not far below the throne, but there were two vacant seats in front of him, and there were two more in the back.

Chu Nian was a little surprised, among Xi Chu, there were such soft people, but it only took a moment to figure it out, and a little playfulness rose in his eyes, that outfit, no matter how you look at it, it is not Xi Chu's, but it seems to be ...... Deliberately dressed up as a cool woman?

The heart is even more secretly boring, such a deliberate hypocritical appearance, but it has lost the characteristics of the women of Western Chu, if it is from Chu Nian's point of view, the woman of Da Liang, Ming Xiu has seen a lot no matter what she says, this Xi Chu Yuan's careful thinking can be effective.

Ming Xiu glanced at the thoughtful Chu Nian sideways, and frowned slightly, at this stall, the other three princesses arrived together, and the second princess Xi Chuqing was a beautiful one, looking at the age difference from Xi Chuyuan and Xi Chu Yueling, the makeup on a small face was delicate but not gaudy, and a light blue close-fitting long skirt was also quite decent;

The fourth princess was a little younger, but she was feminine but not pretentious, she seemed to be a little timid, and when she entered the hall, she cowered and followed behind her second sister and refused to give in a step;

The fifth princess was still young, not as tall as her sisters' shoulders, a pair of beautiful big eyes full of agility, but very well-behaved, and sat honestly in the last position with the maid, looking at Ming Xiu curiously with a pair of big eyes.

It wasn't until everyone was almost here that Xi Chu Yue Ling was late.

She is still wearing a close-fitting red dress today, her originally heroic face seems to be a little tired, and when she sees Ming Xiu, she only nodded slightly as a greeting, but the empress on top doesn't seem to intend to call her and Ming Xiu just such a bland nodding acquaintance.

"Virtuous nephew, this is my eldest princess, Xichu Yueling, you have met."

The empress looked at Ming Xiu sideways, her eyes were a little meaningful, Ming Xiu secretly raised her eyebrows, there was still no expression on her face, but there were more words, which was considered to have given the empress enough face.

"Your Royal Highness, long time no see."

The next head of Xi Chu Yue Ling nodded towards Ming Xiu, "His Royal Highness the Prince, I have worked hard all the way. ”

Ming Xiu bowed slightly, that is, the thin lips were never opened, Rao is so, the empress on the side was already very pleased, and gave Xi Chu Yue Ling a stall to sit on, and Xi Chu Yue Ling saw the familiar figure standing on Ming Xiu's side, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

At this moment, the pair of watery eyes also looked at each other, and when the two pairs of eyes collided, both sides couldn't help but grin.

But when Xi Chu Yue Ling saw the eunuch dress on Chu Nian's body, he couldn't help but have a trace of disappointment in his eyes, and he only blinked, and sat down honestly.

Chu Nian glanced at Ming Xiu vaguely, then withdrew his gaze and stood in place with his head hung again, as if he was really an accompanying eunuch.

At this stall, another figure was late, Xichu Lu Ning was still dressed in that gorgeous dress, she walked in slowly without knowing how to restrain herself, and immediately stood upright under His Royal Highness, her waist was too lazy to bend over, and she said with a face full of indifference: "Imperial sister, it's the courtier's sister who is late." ”

The empress seemed to have some faint anger, she frowned and pursed her lips, and then said helplessly: "That's it, you can sit down." ”

Seeing this, Xi Chu Lu Ning slowly walked to the first place on the other side and sat down, and at this time, she turned her eyes to Xi Chu Yuan, seeing Xi Chu Yuan's dress, she nodded with satisfaction, and then turned her eyes to look at Xi Chu Yue Ling, and immediately smiled contemptuously.

Chu Nian keenly noticed that Xi Chu Yueling's eyes were full of forbearance, she clenched the wine cup in her hand, and at the end, she had to raise her head and drink the wine in the wine cup.

There are many heirs to the throne, so it's troublesome...... Chu Nian sighed silently, at this point, Ming Xiu had already greeted Baiguan - even though it was just a toast from the other party, he nodded silently, maybe Ming Xiu had a look, these elderly women seemed to be very happy, even after the toast, they didn't forget to drink two glasses again.

When this hypocritical banquet reached the middle of the year, Xi Chu Yuan got the eyes of Xi Chu Lu Ning, so he stood up and raised his glass towards Ming Xiu.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the road is far away, for the sake of harmony between our two countries, I still bother His Royal Highness the Prince."

Ming Xiu frowned slightly, but in the end, the other party is also a princess, if you talk about it, this face still has to be given.

At this stall, Ming Xiu picked up the wine cup and got up, and raised his glass to Xichuyuan from afar, "The three princesses are polite." ”

Seeing that Ming Xiu was willing to appreciate the light, Xi Chuyuan couldn't help but look happy, so he drank all the wine in the cup boldly, put down the wine cup and felt that he had broken his work, and hurriedly made a shy daughter.

Seeing this situation, Ming Xiu, who was at the top, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and then said: "Forgive me, the clothes of the three princesses are ......."

"It's really disproportionate." A crisp children's voice sounded, and the voice was a little innocent and immature, which suddenly made the three princesses' faces stiffen.
