Along the way, the three of them didn't say a word, probably listening to Mrs. Feng talk about what happened in Feng's mansion in the past few days, as well as Feng Ying's marriage.

In the latter carriage, Feng Yan in the pink skirt and Feng Li in the yellow skirt were busy currying favor with Aunt Zhao: "Auntie, you said, this lady is too much, you have been a housekeeper for so many years, why did this lady snatch the power in your hands as soon as she came out, it was really too much." ”

"Yes, auntie, none of the servants in the house have been thinking about your good over the years, and you have taken care of the affairs of the house in an orderly manner, if you talk to your father, your father will definitely not agree to this matter."

Aunt Zhao knew what the two of them were thinking, and she was also angry in her heart, she also wanted to get rid of this Mrs. Feng at the beginning, but then she entered the courtyard by herself, and she didn't come out for several years, and she noticed that the master had always had her in his heart, afraid that if she really showed her feet, she would be bored by others, so she simply didn't do it.

I never thought that after such a long time, Feng Ying and this woman would ride on her head again, which was really annoying.

"Madame recuperated earlier, and I took care of it, but now that Madame has recovered, this family should naturally be handed over to Madame to manage, you don't want to say such ignorant words again, if it is spread out, it will only make people think that the old man is not good at governing the family, and make people laugh." Aunt Zhao's expression remained unchanged, her eyes just flashed with a faint unwillingness, just right, everything was so natural.

The two concubines were bored with themselves, and the atmosphere in the carriage was a little dull for a while.

It didn't take long for the car to slowly stop and stop in front of the Mingrui Palace.

There was a lot of traffic in front of Mingrui Wangfu, and all kinds of soft sedan carriages stopped aside, and before he got out of the car, Chu Luoyi smelled a wafting aroma of fat powder.

The little guy in front of the palace was greeting, and whenever a carriage stopped, someone would come forward to greet him, so that people would not feel left out.

"This is Feng's post."

Chu Luoyi handed over the prayer post with Mrs. Feng.

"This is my prayer post." A gentle and familiar voice sounded, Chu Luoyi raised his eyes and glanced over, just in time to see Xiang Yu handing over the worship post to the little servant in the palace.

When the little maid saw that it was someone from the Prince's Mansion, his expression suddenly became more respectful, and he said respectfully to Xiao Xiangyu: "It turned out to be the side concubine, and there is an invitation inside." ”

After Xiang Yu walked in, Chu Luoyi raised her eyes and glanced at the piercing woman behind her, this woman was not someone else, it was Michelle Xia who she had just seen on the street the day before yesterday.

The woman seemed to sense something, paused, and looked back in the direction of Chu Luoyi, but found nothing.

It's perceptive.

Chu Luoyi didn't see her appearance, but just asked Mrs. Feng, "Madame, do you know how many side concubines His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has?" ”

Mrs. Feng thought for a while and said, "Although I have only asked about things in the past few years, I have also heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should only have one side concubine, which is Xiangyu of the Xiao family. ”

Chu Luoyi frowned slightly, a little puzzled, if Ouyang Qiancheng only had one side concubine, then who was this Xia Ziqiong? Who gave her the courage to dare to call herself the crown prince and concubine on the street?

All the way into the palace, carved corridors and painted columns, pavilions and water pavilions, rockeries, gurgling water.

The crystal clear lake is in full bloom with jade lotus, and the red carp on the pebbles leap out of the water mischievously from time to time, and the skirts of the splashing pedestrians are slightly wet.

"This palace is so beautiful." Feng Ying couldn't help but sigh.

Chu Luoyi had been to this Duanjing Mansion a few years ago, but after a few years, there had been some changes here, and along the way, she kept these changes in her heart, just in case.

After all, now that she came to Tianshui alone and was embattled, she had to be careful.

Princess Mingrui set up a banquet in the back garden, and more than 20 carved round tables were placed in the garden, and the beautiful women in pink clothes walked through it, and the daughters of various families competed for beauty, and the handsome young men also gathered together.

The status of the Feng Mansion is not high here, and the table where it is located is three tables away from Princess Mingrui's main table.

"Isn't this Mrs. Feng, I haven't seen you for many years, I didn't expect you to be so bright and moving."

Several ladies who were familiar with Mrs. Feng in her early years spoke one after another at this time, surprised, ridiculed, and clinging....

Chu Luoyi's eyes still fell on Xiang Yu and Xia Ziqiong, trying to judge the identity of Xia Ziqiong from the actions and words of these two people.

At this moment, at the main table where Princess Mingrui was, several beautiful women with high status were all looking at the gorgeous red figure beside Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu was a little nervous, looked at everyone's eyes, and said softly after a while: "This is Xia Ziqiong, the concubine of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Everyone had different expressions, but Xia Ziqiong's face changed when she heard Xiang Yu's words, and she didn't have the slightest timidity to say to everyone: "I am the crown prince's concubine promised by Ouyang Qiancheng personally, although it has not yet been announced to the world, but Ouyang Qiancheng has a deep affection for me, and when I return from this battle, my identity will be announced to the public." ”

Several beautiful women have different looks, regardless of whether Xia Ziqiong's red dress is in line with etiquette at the princess's birthday banquet, just calling the prince by his name is not something that ordinary girls can do.

For a while, everyone's eyes fell on Xia Ziqiong, and Chu Luoyi also looked at the bright red back, not knowing what to think.

"I don't know which daughter Miss Xia is?" A first-class order, after considering the meaning of Princess Mingrui, spoke.

Michelle Xia asked rhetorically: "Does this lady want to be based on her status?" ”

The lady was stunned when she was asked, and she was a little more displeased with her in her heart, and then said: "Miss Xia can't help but think too much, I just see that Miss Xia is a little familiar, like an old man, but just now I looked at it again, and then I realized that it was wrong, Miss Xia's demeanor is far inferior to my old man." ”

Several ladies glanced at each other, and Princess Mingrui remained silent and took a sip of tea.

Feng Ying on the side was sitting at an angle where she could see Xia Ziqiong's side face, and she only felt a little familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was for a while.

"I wonder who this lady is talking about? Can you ask her to come out and see her? Michelle Xia raised her chin and asked rhetorically.

"Heh, Miss Xia laughed, she already said that she was an old friend, how could she come out to see her again?" Another lady spoke, and there was a burst of laughter around her.

Several people made it clear that it was a little difficult for Michelle Xia, and there are usually two explanations for this deceased person, one is a deceased person, and the other is a person who has known each other and has not seen her for many years.

Princess Mingrui put down the teacup at this time, looked at Xia Ziqiong and said, "I wonder if Miss Xia has heard the name Chu Luoyi?" ”

Hearing Princess Mingrui's question, Feng Ying subconsciously looked at Chu Luoyi, but Chu Luoyi quietly sipped the tea, quietly paying attention to the movement on the side.

Michelle Xia frowned, then thought carefully and said, "I don't know." ”

Listening to Xia Ziqiong's words, Princess Mingrui didn't speak, but several ladies on the side smiled and said, "It seems that with Miss Xia's background, it's not strange to not know this person." ”

"Is this man famous?" Michelle Xia asked.

Another second-rank edict said at this time: "It's not just famous, it simply overturned the entire Nanzhao back then." ”

"What does this person have to do with me? Is she like me? Michelle Xia looked at the women in front of her who were secretly thinking.

With a 'poof', a mouthful of water squirted out, followed by unbridled laughter.

"I heard you right, could it be that something is wrong with my eyes, and she will be like you? At the age of fourteen, she recited thousands of poems and wines, at the age of fifteen, she strategized and galloped across the field, at the age of sixteen, she was the double champion of color and art, and at the age of seventeen, she led the princes of the world to bend her waist. Where did you come from, a wild woman in a mountain village, who wants to follow her example, and is ashamed to think that she looks like you? It's making me laugh to death.."

The crisp and hearty voice was mixed with unbridled arrogance, and when everyone heard the reputation, they saw a handsome young man in a blue brocade robe, with Erlang's legs crossed, looking at Xia Ziqiong with disdain.

"Jing'er, don't be rude." Princess Mingrui looked at her little son who didn't look like him and scolded.

Chu Luoyi's eyes fell on this young man, the young man was dressed in an aqua blue brocade robe, with a golden crown on his head, a white jade belt around his waist, silver silk and gold jade boots on his feet, red lips and white teeth, he looked very cute, and he looked like a hanger, and he always felt a little underbeaten.

This young man is not an outsider, it is the same young man she met in the inn of Juyang City before, and it is also the purpose of her coming to Mingrui Palace.

This time, Chu Luoyi carefully looked at the young man's face, convinced that he didn't know him, but just now he spoke again, and he really defended himself every word, what does he have to do with himself?

Regarding Princess Mingrui's words, this Duanjing little prince didn't seem to listen to it at all, and still looked disdainful.

Princess Duanjing had a headache, her son was originally weak, and it was a good thing that he was cured from a serious illness, but this character somehow became like this, or was he such a character, but she couldn't find out because of the lingering sickbed?

Several women didn't know why this Duanjing little prince admired this Chu Luoyi very much, but a few more people reacted very quickly, and then split this matter from Duanjing little prince in a round game: "The little prince is a childlike talk, and the princess should not blame him." ”

Another woman looked at Xia Ziqiong, who had an ugly face, and said: "Actually, what the little prince said also has some truth, from Chu Luoyi's body, I didn't see any Miss Xia's demeanor, but Miss Xia is a little like her, it is true, she has always liked to wear a red dress, and now looking at it, Miss Xia's appearance and demeanor are also a little similar to her." ”

Duanjing Little Prince sneered again: "Hmph, Dong Shi is just doing it." ”

Xia Ziqiong's eyes fell on Duanjing's little prince, slowly raised her hand, stroked her cheek, and then a touch of firmness flashed in her eyes, and she looked at Duanjing's little prince and asked, "Little prince seems to be dissatisfied with me?" ”

Princess Mingrui frowned, this son has been sick and weak for many years, and he is the most favored by her, even if he is rude, he can't be bullied by others.

"It's not that I'm full of dissatisfaction, it's just that Miss Xia's appearance here today has stained the eyes of the young master."

Michelle Xia clenched her fists in her hands, why did that person come from a famous family and have the capital to be flamboyant, but she had to be bullied everywhere just because she had no identity to rely on?

Since following Ouyang Qiancheng's side, Michelle Xia has experienced the taste of power again and again, and she swears that one day, she will be in power, so that these people who once didn't put her in their eyes kneel in front of her and beg her!

About four years ago, she came to Nanzhao to play, and by the way, she was looking for her uncle, but she also met Ouyang Qiancheng at that time.

At that time, when she first arrived in Nanzhao, dressed in red, riding a fast horse, enjoying the scenery of the border city of Nanzhao on horseback, on the way to see the prince of the dynasty surrounded by everyone from a distance, she was curious for a while, so she raised her eyes to look, wanting to see the style of the prince of the dynasty.

He behaves elegantly, talks and laughs, is as gentle as jade, and only thinks that he is a handsome and elegant man, which is not very amazing, but it also makes people feel comfortable.
