Mingcui Palace.
The lights are bright, the light and shadow are intertwined, and the nobles in the imperial capital are gathered here at this time.
Because this is the birthday banquet of Prince Rong Jin!
Rong Jin was the eldest son and was established as the prince as soon as he was born. He was deeply loved by His Majesty.
Coupled with his outstanding talents and abilities, he has become more and more valued by His Majesty in recent years.
With such respect for one's status, people are indispensable for being diligent and courteous.
As long as you can win the prince's favor, won't power and status be easy to come by
People came in one after another, and the whole hall became more and more lively.
Since His Majesty, the Queen and the Crown Prince have not arrived yet, everyone is not so restrained.
But among the laughter and laughter, there was a vaguely strange atmosphere.
Many people looked towards the entrance frequently, as if waiting for someone to arrive.
"Hey, have you heard? His Highness the Crown Prince was disgraced today!"
"What? There is such a thing? How come I don't know?"
"Brother Yan, this matter has already spread, and you still don't know about it? Today, His Highness the Crown Prince said he was going to a hunting ground..."
Everyone was whispering to each other, with excited and gossipy looks on their faces, obviously discussing this matter.
After all, Rong Jin had invited many people there, and all of them had extraordinary status. Even if he wanted to keep the news secret, it was impossible.
One passed to two, two to three, now everyone knew.
"Isn't it true that the Chu family is a loser? How could she be so brave and dare to sell the hunting ground? Who doesn't know that His Highness the Crown Prince values the hunting ground very much and has put so much thought into it over the years, yet she actually sold it like this?!"
"Hey, what can a loser know? Most likely he wants to attract the prince's attention, right?"
"Haha! This is so stupid! If she took the initiative to return the things to the prince, maybe the prince would still have mercy on her, but now, she has really offended the prince!"
"The prince has long hated this engagement. I guess today... there will be something good to watch!"
While everyone was discussing excitedly, the sound of communication sounded outside the hall.
"The eldest elder of the Chu family, Chu Xiao, is here!"
The hall fell silent for an instant, and everyone looked over immediately.
I saw a group of people walking in.
The current person is Chu Xiao, the eldest elder of the Chu family.
Behind him were Chu Yan, his wife and Chu Xianmin.
Chu Xianmin was wearing a snow-white dress today, embroidered with pink lotus flowers, which made her already pretty face even more charming.
Her appearance is considered to be top-notch in the entire imperial capital. Coupled with her outstanding talent, she has the title of "the most beautiful woman in the imperial capital".
As soon as she appeared, everyone immediately dazzled.
However, no one dared to show their obsession.
This is the person that His Highness the Crown Prince likes. Who dares to compete with the Crown Prince
Everyone looked behind them again and saw a handsome and somewhat familiar face.
"Chun Ning is here too?"
Someone made a sound in surprise.
In the early years, Chu Ning was well-known in the imperial capital, but since he was injured and disabled, he has almost never appeared in front of everyone.
His sudden appearance today reminded everyone that there is such a number one person.
"He is Chu Liuyue's biological father. Of course he has to come today. I'm afraid he has to apologize..."
Some people secretly speculated.
All kinds of eyes fell on Chu Ning, but he looked calm, as if he was not aware of everyone's scrutiny.
And beside him, there was a girl.
She looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old. She was dressed in red and had a slim figure, but her back was straight.
With just one glance, everyone was already sure: this girl is Chu Liuyue!
Almost everyone's eyes fell on her!
He was born a good-for-nothing and had no sense of existence for many years, but he secretly sold the hunting ground, causing the prince to lose all face!
How could this not make everyone curious about her
Inside the main hall, it became quieter and quieter, and the air seemed to solidify.
The lights are bright and shining.
She took a step forward and bright light fell on her face.
Everyone's eyes flashed with surprise.
A plain white face caught everyone's eyes.
Her dark eyebrows are like distant mountains, her beautiful nose is straight, and her lips are not dotted but red.
What an extremely beautiful face!
The most eye-catching thing is the pair of obsidian-black but bright eyes, which are clear, clean and calm.
Just one look at it seems to make people sink unconsciously.
There is still a bit of youthfulness between her eyebrows. In a few years, it is not difficult to imagine what kind of stunning beauty she will grow into!
The atmosphere in the hall instantly became a little subtle.
No one thought that that good-for-nothing from the Chu family would have such a face that no one could take away!
When Chu Xianmin noticed this, her heart became angry. The hands in her sleeves were clenched into fists, and her carefully manicured nails were embedded in her palms, causing pain.
This month, Chu Liuyue didn't know what ghost she had seen. Not only did her temperament change drastically, but her whole person looked different too!
The face that was originally dull and sallow turned out to be inexplicably smooth and fair, with skin like gelatin. The timidity between the brows and eyes disappeared, replaced by an indescribable calmness and calmness.
It's clear that her facial features haven't changed much, but she looks much more beautiful than before!
Before she came, she was a little worried that she would steal the limelight, but that was indeed the case!
Lu Yao saw something was wrong with his daughter's expression, and immediately pulled her calmly.
So what if Chu Liuyue becomes more beautiful? There is no way that a useless person can be qualified to become a crown princess!
Chu Xianmin took a deep breath and finally suppressed the jealousy in her heart.
We must get rid of her today!
It wasn't until the Chu family sat down that everyone came back to their senses and started chatting.
The main hall returned to its previous liveliness.
Everyone looked happy and happy.
And their focus was naturally Chu Liuyue.
"I didn't expect that good-for-nothing from the Chu family to be so beautiful... Why have I never heard of it before?"
"Oh, is it possible that...you are treating her..."
"Haha! His Highness the Crown Prince will not really marry her, so what if we think about it? After all, beauty is rare!"
Some young people from aristocratic families burst into laughter.
Chu Ning's face was cold and she was about to stand up, but Chu Liuyue gently held her hand down.
Looking back, I saw her shaking her head.
The highlight of today was Rong Jin. As for these people... she really didn't need to worry about them.
Seeing her calm expression, Chu Ning stopped insisting.
He knew that today's daughter was different from the past, and she must have her own ideas.
Chu Ning didn't realize that, unknowingly, he had begun to regard Chu Liuyue as his main heart.
"His Royal Highness is here!"
With this sound, the hall became quiet again.
Chu Liuyue looked over, and a purple figure appeared in front of her eyes.
It was a pretty handsome face, but his eyes were a little sinister, which made people feel disgusted just by looking at him.
She narrowed her eyes.
Prince Rong Jin!
The other party seemed to be aware of her gaze and quickly looked over.
The two looked at each other.
Rong Jin's eyes flashed with surprise.
He had clearly never seen a girl with such an appearance before.
Even Chu Xianmin looks a lot dull in comparison!
But the next moment, he noticed that the girl was actually sitting in the Chu family's seat!
He understood immediately:
She is Chu Liuyue!
