Chapter 21: The Palace Banquet
After Emperor Honghui and the eldest princess of Yongzhao learned that Leng Mo Dye could see it, they saw Leng Mo Dye separately, and then they decided to finalize Leng Mo Dye's marriage.
Emperor Honghui sent someone to reward the Crane Divine Doctor and the Xiao family, and he asked Leng Mo Ran about his attitude towards Xiao Xiaoyu, and he was sure that it was not as disgusted as rumored.
But Leng Mo Dye still has a fiancΓ©e after all.
Although Leng Mo Dye has always said that he wants to withdraw from his family, he has not had time to retreat.
He didn't expect his eyes to get better so quickly, and if his eyes just happened to go back to his relatives, it would seem that he was a little inauthentic.
The eldest princess of Yongzhao proposed to hold a flower-viewing banquet in the palace, inviting nobles of appropriate age to participate, and choosing a concubine for Leng Mo Ran and King Wei.
King Wei is the youngest son of the first emperor, and he has also won the crown this year, but he has not decided on a marriage for a long time.
It's not that Emperor Honghui treats him badly, but that King Wei is very playful and unwilling to marry a wife to control himself.
But even if he wants to drag it anymore, now Emperor Honghui doesn't plan to let him anymore.
"Xiaoliu has been naughty since he was a child, and it has been too much for no one to detain him in recent years, a few days ago there was a flower girl who found the princess's mansion with a big belly, I really don't want to care." The eldest princess of Yongzhao rubbed her temples and complained.
Emperor Honghui said: "Let the imperial sister suffer, this time there will be a more powerful wife for Xiaoliu, so that he will not dare to mess around again." β
The eldest princess of Yongzhao didn't think that choosing a powerful wife would make King Wei stop coming around, as long as she didn't trouble her again.
For this younger brother, Princess Yongzhao doesn't have much affection, she won't hurt him, and she won't really care about him.
"Let the queen and Concubine Xiao come with me, I don't want to be burdened alone."
"Sister Huang, don't worry."
β¦β¦
Xiao Xixi almost immediately learned that the cold ink stained his eyes could see.
In addition to what Doctor Crane told her, she was still sleeping when she heard the system prompt that her opinion had increased.
She was going to get up and curse, but she held back when she heard the words behind the system.
γDing! Congratulations to the host for increasing the favorability of cold ink dyeing by 30 points, the current favorability is 50 points, and obtaining another 10 points will unlock the points function]
Xiao Xixi was very curious, so she asked: "What can the integral function do?" β
[Points reach 100 points to unlock the mall consumption function]
"How do I get points?"
[The system will release the integral task at any time, and the host will also get the acting skills improvement plot arranged by himself.] γ
Xiao Xixi understood, that is, it was okay for her to add drama to herself!
A word from the system hit her excitement.
[The host has not yet unlocked the points function, please make persistent efforts to improve the favorability of cold ink dyeing to you!] γ
Xiao Xixi's mood suddenly fell again.
In the following days, she poked the system from time to time to check that the cold ink dye did not go out, and the answer she got was no.
Xiao Xixi couldn't understand why she ran outside all day long when she couldn't see it, and when she could see it, she had to stay in the house and not go out, and the only time she went out was to enter the palace, and she didn't even give her the chance to meet by chance.
Just as Xiao Xixi was thinking about how to get close to Leng Mo Dye to improve her favorability, Gu Shi told her a piece of news.
"The palace banquet is going to be held at the end of the month, Xixi has to participate."
Gu didn't want her daughter to participate at all, but when she thought of the purpose of this palace banquet and her daughter's thoughts about King Yan, she could only let her daughter go.
Xiao regretted that he was not interested in the palace banquet.
It's too complicated there, and an actress like her can't play those people at all, and she doesn't want to go at all.
γDing! Invite the host to the palace banquet. γ
Xiao Xixi immediately understood that this was cold ink dyeing and would also go, otherwise the system would not prompt it.
Without waiting for Xiao Xixi to answer, Gu reminded her in a low voice: "The purpose of this palace banquet is to choose concubines for King Yan and King Han, if you are interested in King Yan, you must seize this opportunity." β
"Isn't King Yan already married to Miss Fu?"
"I don't know about this, anyway, that's what the emperor and the eldest princess meant, maybe they were dissatisfied with Miss Fu, so they thought about re-election. However, Miss Fu will also participate, you don't have to worry, as long as you are selected, it must be the princess, the daughter of my Xiao family, and it is impossible to be a concubine. β
Xiao Xixi is not disgusted with marrying Leng Moran, which is an opportunity for her to get close to him.
However, if she marries Leng Mo Ran now, it may make him lose all his affection for her.
So she didn't think about getting married.
"Miss Fu is also very good, if King Yan likes it, her daughter will also-"
γDing! Host collapse detected and silenced]
Xiao Xixi: ......
Well, it was true that she wanted to explain to Gu that her obsession with Leng Mo Ran was not so deep, and it was no big deal not to marry him, but she almost forgot that the original owner loved Leng Mo Dye to death.
These words fell on Gu's ears, but they became a different meaning.
"Don't have such thoughts, if you marry King Yan, you must be a concubine!"
Xiao Xixi didn't know how to comfort her, she couldn't say the truth, but saying it according to the original owner's words would make Gu even more angry.
simply changed the topic and asked, "Mother, do you want the third sister to go with you?" β
Gu shook his head: "No, I found someone to tell her about kissing, and she won't participate in this palace banquet." β
Xiao Xiaorou, who was sitting on the side, had a complicated expression, as if she had just heard that she was going to be kissed.
Xiao Xixi took the opportunity to ask: "I don't know who the other party is?" β
"This year's new science and technology jinshi, working in the household department, although the family is poorer, but the person is self-motivated, the appearance is also handsome, and the parents at home are reasonable people."
Such conditions are not too good, but on Xiao Xiaorou, a concubine, it is not bad.
Xiao Xixi wanted to observe Xiao Xiaorou's expression, but she hung her head slightly, and she couldn't see her expression.
Xiao Xiaorou suddenly spoke: "Thank you mother for bothering, but my daughter also wants to go to the palace banquet with the second sister." β
Gu's face changed, is this trying to cling to the royal family?
"Xiaorou, you should know your identity, the royal is not something you can go to?"
Xiao Xiaorou's lowered eyes flashed with unwillingness, and she retracted her complicated feelings and said: "My daughter doesn't mean this, my daughter just wants to see the world, and she won't be looked down upon by her husband's family when she marries in the future." β
Gu wants to say that with the situation of her husband's family, what qualifications does she have?
However, Gu Shi was still relieved: "That's it, you two sisters should go together." β
β¦β¦
On the day of the palace feast.
Xiao Xixi took Xiao Xiaorou into the palace together.
Ji Yue and other maids stayed outside the palace gate and waited.
As soon as he arrived at the Imperial Garden, Xiao Xixi encountered cold ink dyeing.
Leng Mo Ran watched Xiao Xixi slowly approach him-
The girl was wearing a moon-white skirt, clean and neat, with a pale complexion, delicate facial features, and her eyes narrowed like a curved crescent moon when she smiled.
Xiao Xi said with a smile: "See the prince." β
This is the first time Leng Mo Ran has seen Xiao Xixi's face.
Is this woman so good-looking?
He looked into Xiao Xixi's eyes and tried to listen to her heart.
