Chapter 34: The Femme Fatale

Chu Qiang was taken aback by Chu Wanxiang's sympathetic gaze.

Did you show something or do something, so that Chu Wanxiang looked at her with such eyes.

"I've lost my mind, please don't blame Princess Anle." Chu Ming retracted his gaze and smiled apologetically.

"It's okay, I know it must be because Sister Wuhuang is too difficult for you."

Chu Qiang shook her head with a smile, raised her eyes, and saw Xiao Min's vicious gaze looking in this direction, she couldn't help but shrink her neck.

She is particularly afraid of this Fifth Emperor sister, she is gentle and kind on the surface, but she is insidious and vicious on the inside, a typical femme fatale.

She had seen Xiao Min cruelly throw a erring slave into the basin, and she had also pricked her finger with a long needle, so she knew how mean this royal lady was to others.

Princess Minghuang, as the object of her jealousy, will only be more sad than others.

It's not because Xiao Min made things difficult, Chu Wanxiang wanted to explain, but after thinking about it, forget it, some things don't need to be explained too much.

So he didn't refute Chu Qiang's words, just smiled slightly.

Turning his head, he raised his eyes and met Chu Mohan's gaze on the male guest's table.

Xiaoyun sat to his left and waved at her.

"The fourth brother is coming early in the morning, but the starling brother has been lying on the bed for a long time, otherwise we would have sat down half an hour ago."

Chu Qiang noticed that Chu Mohan looked at Chu Wanxiang with unusual eyes, and seemed to be a little gentler than before.

The starling brother had also mentioned to her before that the fourth brother had peach blossoms, but she still didn't believe it. Look at it today, the peach blossom that the starling said is the princess of the Ming Emperor.

Chu Qiang looked at the two of them back and forth, with a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth, they were really a good match.

"Why is there no guard around His Highness?" When I see Xiao Zhan on weekdays, there will always be at least one of Tie Yi or Qingfeng to accompany me. "It's a little strange that both of them are missing today.

"It's better not to look." Tianqing snorted.

Chu Wanxiang and Yuebai were slightly startled, and both of them looked at her.

"......" Tian Qing shifted his gaze to other places and didn't look at the two of them.

What's going on.

It is rare for Azure to have such an emotion as it is revealed.

Did those two offend her?

Chu Wanxiang wanted to ask what was going on, but this kind of occasion was not suitable.

I had to suppress my curiosity and thought about going back and asking carefully.

"Evening Xiang." Gu Lingyi also entered the venue and sat down beside Chu Wanxiang.

"Princess Anle." Seeing Xiaoqiang, he winked at her happily.

"Sister Gu, I haven't been here for a long time." Chu Qiang and Gu Lingyi have been playmates since childhood, and their relationship has always been very good.

Even if Gu Lingyi later went to the border pass behind Zhenbei, he would communicate with Chu Qiang every other month.

This time the real back of the Hou returned, except for Chu Wanxiang, Chu Qiang was the happiest.

The last one to enter the market was Li Wang Xiaoli. As soon as he entered the door, he deliberately glanced at Chu Wanxiang.

The chill in his eyes froze the air, and neither Gu Lingyi nor Chu Qiang dared to look directly into his eyes, they always felt that his gaze was malicious.

Chu Wanxiang's expression was indifferent, and in the face of his cold gaze, she didn't dodge.

"Your Highness the Princess." Qingfeng walked over, lowered his head, and said something in Chu Mohan's ear.

Chu Mohan nodded and motioned for him to sit behind him.

After Xiao Li sat down, the poetry meeting officially began. Someone at the scene suggested that everyone recite a poem, which can be written by themselves or seen recently, and then everyone comments together and expresses their opinions.

"The king thinks this advice is very good." Xiao Li leaned forward, propped his elbows on the table, and swept across the audience with a smile.

Finally, he stared at Chu Mohan: "Fourth brother, what do you think?" ”

Chu Mohan clasped his hands together: "I feel the same way as my second brother." ”

Everything is ready, the only thing we need is Dongfeng, the stage is set, second brother, don't you want to live up to the wishes of the fourth brother.

"Good." Xiao Li laughed, pointed at Chu Wanxiang and said, "Then, this song will start with the recently famous Princess Minghuang." ”

He deliberately let Chu Wanxiang take the lead, because he was sure that she was a barbaric girl who couldn't read well at all.

I heard that Gu Lingyi used to even have to do the wine order on the third brother's ship. How can such a woman have literary talent?

"Fourth brother, why do I think the second emperor is very hostile to the Ming Emperor's sister?"

Xiaoyun came over and asked, at the banquet of the Marquis of Zhenbei, as soon as Chu Wanxiang came up, he also humiliated him.

There doesn't seem to be much overlap between them.

"Minghuang asked Jiang Qiyun to join the inner court at the plum blossom banquet before, which distracted An Guohou's attention, and the plan to solve the north of Lake Town was ruined. How could the second emperor not be angry? ”

"In addition, the fifth sister and the concubine have both been planted in the hands of Minghuang, and more than once, presumably the concubine has complained a lot to the queen, how could the second prince not know these things?" Chu Mohan explained to Xiaoyun in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"So, is the second emperor brother venting his anger for Concubine De and others?"

"This reason still doesn't make sense, the second brother is a person who will stand out for others."

"The point is not on them, but on yourself. Chu Mohan said: "Whether it is An Guohou or Concubine De, they are all under the second brother's disciple. If Minghuang moved them, he would challenge the authority of the second brother and give the second brother a slap in the face. Brother Erhuang is also a very face-saving person, so he naturally won't let Minghuang go easily. ”

It's just the second brother, the current Ming Emperor is very different from before, be careful, maybe he will lift a stone and hit himself in the foot.

Chu Mohan picked up the wine glass in front of him, smiled and toasted Chu Wanxiang, and drank it all.

"Second Emperor Brother, don't embarrass Sister Minghuang. She was born in Nanzhao, and the place where she lived was very remote. It was inevitable that she would have some difficulties with writing. If she can't carry it, she'll lose face. The girl is thin-skinned. What will happen to her in the future? Go and see people. ”

Xiao Min looked like she was thinking about Chu Wanxiang, but in every sentence, she laughed at Chu Wanxiang's barbaric background, lack of literary talent, and an illiterate waste.

Jun Li remained silent, just glanced back at Chu Wanxiang.

According to what he knew about her before, Chu Wanxiang was indeed not good at writing poems, and now she was asked to recite poems in public, I am afraid that she would really make a fool of herself.

As long as she begged him, he pushed it away for her.

Junli thought to herself that as long as she gave him a pleading look like before, he would help her immediately.

However, Chu Wanxiang did not ask him for help as he wished, but calmly got up, bowed slightly to everyone present, and then lightly opened his red lips: "Thank you, Your Highness Li, if you can afford it, then this lottery will be a blessing." ”

"Let Minghuang come."
