Chapter 50: The crown prince establishes a side concubine
How could Yuan Liwan be the kind of person who lets others bully and doesn't fight back?
"But when it comes to versatility, my sister's dance at the last banquet really amazed everyone. At that time, so many civil and military officials were present, but they all saw it. Yuan Liwan deliberately mentioned that Yuan Fangfei drank the drugged wine last time, and the unbearable thing after eating the fruit of it.
"You... What do you mean? Yuan Fangfei was embarrassed when she was mentioned, and she was embarrassed and angry, and openly questioned Yuan Liwan in the lobby. It looks like he's going to do it in the next second.
"Sister, don't think about it, what can my sister mean? I just envy your talent. Yuan Liwan replied to Yuan Fangfei with a grin.
There is a saying in the 21st century that the road of green tea makes green tea have no way out. In the 21st century, I have never seen what green tea looks like, but now I really do. But the more angry you are, the more I laugh to see who is embarrassed in the end.
"Okay, today is an important day to choose a concubine for the crown prince, and after you are all famous ministers, no one needs to perform. We've already scheduled a lot of shows in advance. Come on, the next show. The emperor promised Huo Hengyao that he could not let Yuan Liwan be wronged, even for the sake of the country's security, the emperor could not offend Huo Hengyao now, so he came forward to interrupt the quarrel between Yuan Liwan and Yuan Fangfei.
The queen originally planned to say something, but due to the special identity arranged by the emperor for Yuan Liwan this time. and Lin Munian was also in the lobby, so he didn't say much, just treated him as an ordinary person.
Yuan Liwan was too lazy to continue to take care of Yuan Fangfei, so she stopped watching her and began to watch the entertainment show absentmindedly. Liuyuan Fangfei sulked alone in her seat.
On the other hand, Lin Munian didn't want to participate in this so-called concubine selection banquet at all, let alone choose any concubine. But there is no way, the emperor's order cannot be violated. So I had to come and attend.
However, when he arrived at the banquet hall and saw Yuan Liwan in plain clothes, Lin Munian was still very happy. He also thought that the queen accepted Yuan Liwan. never expected that the queen invited Yuan Liwan to come just to make him die and accept the marriage arranged for him by the emperor and the queen with peace of mind.
Since the moment Lin Munian appeared in the lobby, his eyes have never left Yuan Liwan, so it also caused all the ladies present to have feelings of jealousy and hatred towards Yuan Liwan. Everyone intentionally or unintentionally targeted Yuan Liwan. It also led to Yuan Fangfei's deliberate embarrassment just now.
Yuan Liwan also saw the emotions of everyone, she knew that she had to solve this problem, otherwise if one of them really became the crown princess in the future, her own path would not be easy.
After the show was finished, when everyone was sighing and sighing, Yuan Liwan saw the opportunity and stated her identity and position.
"Your Majesty, thank you and the queen for inviting me to come to this banquet as your goddaughter, and by the way, I will consult the crown princess for my cousin. Thank you and the Queen for your trust. The concubine toasts you two with a glass. ”
Yuan Liwan wittily used a few words to skillfully resolve everyone's targeting and hostility towards her.
During the banquet, Huo Hengyao also deliberately sent his subordinates to give Yuan Liwan a cloak. On the one hand, it is to declare sovereignty, tell everyone that Yuan Liwan is already a married woman, and tell some people who don't know the world to stop beating Yuan Liwan's idea.
On the other hand, it is also to tell everyone that what happened in Yuanfu before, the quarrel between the two did not affect their relationship at all, nor did it make the two of them fall into a cold war, but made them more affectionate than before.
Yuan Liwan also took the cloak in her heart. changed the indifference and calmness just now, and his face was full of smiles.
All this, of course, was also seen by Lin Munian, who had been staring at Yuan Liwan. I thought to myself, "yes, it's time to let go." At least he was so impulsive and caused his cousin to be punished in Yuanfu. Since they are so affectionate, Huo Hengyao is also very good to Wan'er. I'm relieved. ”
Finally, after the observation of the whole banquet, as well as the opinions of Yuan Liwan and the emperor and empress. Lin Munian was still reluctant, but in the end, the queen was forced to choose the daughter of the household servant family in the middle of the court on the grounds that 'if you don't choose a side concubine tonight, you will always be troublesome with Yuan Liwan in the future', and she was named a side concubine.
This is how the feast ended. Neither Yuan Fangfei nor Huo Xi'er got this opportunity to become a side concubine. Yuan Fangfei was completely because she had to target Yuan Liwan, but she made a fool of herself. How can he become the crown prince's concubine?
And after Huo Xi'er returned to the Hou Ye's Mansion, she was also furious. She felt that it was because Yuan Liwan didn't help her speak that she didn't get this opportunity. Yuan Liwan participated in the banquet with such an advantageous identity, as long as she promoted herself a little at the banquet, she would definitely be able to succeed.
"No, I can't be too rusty with Yuan Liwan now, although she didn't speak for me this time, I hate her very much, after all, it is not easy to find a second one for a high-quality person like the prince. But isn't there still a place for the concubine? After Huo Xi'er was furious, she thought carefully about the form of the matter and analyzed.
"Judging from the current situation, Yuan Liwan is still very valued, relying on her, he will definitely have better opportunities and candidates in the future. You have to be better by her side. Huo Xi'er can only rely on Yuan Liwan at present, otherwise there will be no other better way out for her identity.
The intensive training in the camp has almost been completed recently, and Huo Hengyao can enter and leave the barracks freely.
On this day, Huo Hengyao returned to the Hou Ye's Mansion and found Yuan Liwan, who was decocting medicine to the Bai family. Wrap around Yuan Liwan's slender waist from behind, "Wan'er, are you decocting medicine for my mother?" What kind of herb is this? I haven't seen it at all. ”
"It's a rare medicinal herb that I accidentally discovered in Yuanfu, and it has a miraculous effect on treating my mother's illness. I didn't expect that Yuanfu not only has a lot of treasures, but also a lot of rare medicinal materials. Yuan Liwan felt that she was surrounded by a pair of hands, turned around, looked at Huo Hengyao who was lying on her shoulder, and answered the question he just asked.
"Really? It's great that this medicine is effective for my mother's illness. Huo Hengyao heard Yuan Liwan's answer and said happily.
"At present, we can only stabilize my mother's condition first, and if we need to treat it thoroughly, we need to think about it in the long run." Yuan Liwan looked at Huo Hengyao's happy appearance and continued, "But you don't have to worry, I will definitely cure my mother." Whatever herbs I need, I'll find them. ”
"That's right, Girl. Our sister Xi'er has also reached the age of marriage, and last night's banquet ended in nothing. Xi'er has a calm personality and is not good at communicating with men. So if you meet the right person in the future, you must help Xi'er keep an eye on it. Huo Hengyao suddenly remembered this incident and instructed Yuan Liwan.
