Hua Yan cursed inwardly, that bastard Yunchi, whoever is Yan'er vomited her to death
Mr. Zhao was shocked, not only because of Yun Chi's words, but also because of his tone of voice to Hua Yan, with a smile on his face, gentle and tender, which was quite different from what he had seen in the past.
He was used to seeing Yunchi's coolness, indifference and aloofness, but now he suddenly saw him like this, he was shocked for a moment.
Immediately, I wondered whether the prince really liked the princess, so she was chosen, wasn't it the concubine selection rumored in the palace that day
Therefore, the queen mother repeatedly persuaded, and the emperor was also very dissatisfied, but His Royal Highness insisted on not changing.
Not allowing him to think too much, he immediately and humbly invited Yunchi and Huayan into the mansion.
The group of people had just walked not far away, and the singing sounded again, "His Royal Highness, Crown Princess, I will send 600,000 taels of silver. I wish Zhao Zaifu a long and happy birthday banquet."
Mr. Zhao's feet bumped and he almost fell out. He turned his head to look at Yun Chi in surprise. The birthday gift His Royal Highness gave to his elder brother was 600,000 taels of silver.
I've never heard of dry money being given as a gift at a birthday banquet
Hua Yan admired the expression of Mr. Zhao, and felt that his expression was really wonderful. This singing, everyone in the Zhao family could probably hear it. I don't know what expressions are on the faces of Zhao Zaifu and all the guests.
It's a pity that it's too early to sing, and it should be sung after they enter the hall and see everyone. Only then can everyone appreciate it.
Yun Chi smiled slightly with a peaceful face, "What's the matter, Mr. Zhao?"
Mr. Zhao didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly collected his expression, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty walked too hastily, and accidentally bumped your foot, no problem, no problem, Your Highness, be careful on the road under your feet."
Yun Chi nodded and said no more.
Master Zhao didn't dare to think any more, and didn't dare to make another mistake, so he respectfully invited him to the hall.
The hall of the Zhao Mansion was very large, the emperor sat on the upper left, and there was a vacant seat on the upper right, Zhao Zaifu sat on the lower, and the rest of the people were either court officials or famous people with status, accompanying them.
When Yunchi and Huayan arrived, everyone except the emperor stood up to salute the prince.
Yun Chi glanced at the crowd, and smiled lightly in a warm and cool voice, "Zhao Zaifu, hurry up and give up, today is your birthday, and the birthday star is a big one, so there is no need to be more polite." After finishing speaking, he said, "All of you are also free. Bar"
Everyone is at the same level.
Zhao Zaifu looked at Huayan next to the prince, looked at it for a moment, and asked with his old eyes, "His Royal Highness, who is this?"
Yun Chi has been holding Huayan's hand, smiling, "Lin'an Huayan, the princess of my palace, after she entered the capital, she was unwell and hadn't even stepped into the palace gate. Bring her to Zhao's mansion first to celebrate Zaifu's birthday, and let everyone meet by the way."
Hearing Yun Chi's words, Zhao Zaifu quickly turned his mind, bowed his hands and said, "I have seen the Crown Princess, and I am ashamed to be honored by the Crown Princess for giving me such great face."
Huayan smiled lightly, and her voice was like spring breeze, "Zhao Zaifu is serious."
She was already stunningly beautiful, even if she applied light makeup and brushed her eyebrows lightly, she could not conceal her appearance, especially this light smile made her appearance even more radiant. She was wearing a long blue brocade dress, and two begonias with twining branches on the skirt seemed to be quietly blooming because of her smile. There were not many red hairpins on her head, and not many jewelry around her body, but no matter how you looked at it, she was extremely elegant and beautiful, making her feel beautiful. The whole hall seems to be a little more colorful.
Everyone fell silent in unison, and they were all amazed in their hearts, it turned out that this princess is really good-looking.
Amidst the silence, Yun slowly stepped inside, came to the emperor, greeted him with a smile, "Father Emperor."
Huayan couldn't break away from Yunchi's hand, so she could only follow him forward and greet him calmly, "Your Majesty"
The emperor didn't expect Yun Chi to come to congratulate Zhao Zaifu on his birthday. The birthday gift he prepared was 600,000 taels of silver. She waved her hand very kindly, "Prince Princess looks much better than before, sit down."
Huayan thought that there was no woman in this hall, where would she sit
Yun Chi heard the words and glanced at the upper right side of the emperor, there were only two seats, the emperor sat in one, and the other was empty. He turned to look at Zhao Zaifu, and said with a smile, "It seems that the female family members of Zaifu's mansion are very busy."
&nb
sp;Zhao Zaifu's complexion changed, because he was really displeased with Yunchi's choice of Huayan as his concubine, and he also heard about the Shunfang gambling house and the fateful marriage lottery at Qingshui Temple, although the crown prince suppressed these two things , but he was really dissatisfied. Therefore, although Mrs. Zhao posted a message to Huayan, she thought she was not a serious princess, so she didn't arrange for someone to greet her today.
Now the emperor treats Hua Yan extremely kindly, Yun Chi came with her hand and has not let go, this attitude couldn't be more obvious.
His heart sank, but in the end it was the prime minister who had lived his entire life in the court, so he quickly said seriously, "Earlier, the eldest princess came, and the madam welcomed the eldest princess to the backyard. She probably hasn't found time yet." Falling, he yelled, "Come here, give the Crown Princess a seat."
Someone responded immediately, moved a chair over in a hurry, and placed it next to the empty seat on the upper right.
Yun Chi smiled faintly, "Of course I can't neglect my eldest aunt when she comes, and I haven't seen my eldest aunt leave the house for half a year." After saying that, he smiled and dragged Huayan to the seat.
Hua Yan sat down with Yun Chi, and he let go of her hand.
After she broke free from the restraints, she glanced at her hands, which were covered with red marks from his grip, and hated in her heart that she wouldn't run away if he didn't pull her. She's an idiot for acting like this now.
The emperor glanced at the two of them, knowing that the two of them were competing with each other with a smile on their faces.
Everyone sat down one by one, and looked at Huayan either openly or secretly.
Lin'an Huayan, the concubine selected by the crown prince, has been curious since more than a year ago, but after more than a year, many spies were sent by Beijing, but none of her portraits were recovered. Seeing her now, not to mention anything else, just this appearance alone, I can secretly praise that she is really a beauty.
It's just a pity that this beauty is good at gambling, and she doesn't seem to have the boudoir rules when she goes in and out of the gambling house.
For a while, the hall was very quiet, and there seemed to be no noise outside the courtyard.
Someone brought tea, Huayan drank it calmly, and let everyone's eyes fall on her, openly or secretly, and she looked back bluntly. Her eyes were not more reserved than these people, but very direct. , seems to be able to see people's hearts.
For a while, many people couldn't bear it anymore, they looked away, and thought to themselves that this princess is really bold, how can a woman look at a man like this, especially when there are young officials and sons of aristocratic families in the hall, she even caught her His face blushed when he kept his eyes closed.
Hua Yan looked around and thought to herself, Su Zizhan is not here, Lu Zhiling is not here, they haven't come An Shuli seems to have set off for the Southwest Fanbang yesterday, let alone come.
It was quiet enough for half a cup of tea, and the sound of footsteps came from outside, broken and low, accompanied by the tinkling of rings, into the hall.
After a while, a faint fragrance wafted over the threshold, the bead curtain was lifted, and a young woman in full bloom walked in.
I saw that she was wearing a lotus-colored lotus skirt, with a slim waist, exquisite and graceful, and her appearance was as beautiful as the moonlight. As she moved with lotus steps, the delicate fragrance was rolled up, which was very delicate and pitiful. However, her eyebrows and eyes are pure and pure, and she looks even dignified, making people see her as if seeing a lotus flower out of water, so she should not be teased.
Huayan looked at her in admiration, thinking that this is Zhao Qingxi, the only daughter of Zhao Zaifu. This is the real gentle and virtuous, dignified and virtuous, and a lady of everyone.
She stared at her enough, until she walked up to greet the emperor and Yun Chi and then turned to greet her, she still didn't look back, got up and took a step forward, pulled her up, held her hand, and smiled Yan Ran said, "Sister Zhao is really a lovely person who makes people fall in love at first sight. There are many sisters in my family, but none of them is as hard to take away as you. I am a person with no manners. Standing with you is really incomparable."
Zhao Qingxi was taken aback, she didn't expect Huayan to speak such beautiful words in front of the emperor and the prince full of guests when they met for the first time. Staying in a daze, he quickly regained his composure and smiled, "No matter what the Crown Princess said, the ministers can't compare to the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess's beauty is beautiful. Don't belittle yourself, the ministers are ashamed."
She entered the door, although she only took one look at Huayan, but this one glance was enough for her to be surprised by her appearance.
Huayan smiled brightly and sincerely, and tilted her head and said to her, "Looks are the most unreliable thing, just a skin, and I never tell lies about the inner beauty that Sister Ji reveals from her bones. She deserves to be the number one beauty in Southern Chu."
Zhao Qingxi blushed a little from the praise, and was caught off guard. Her preparations for seeing Huayan when she came earlier were completely disrupted, and she didn't know what to say for a while. She glanced at Zhao Zaifu and was also very surprised to see him. She He could only laugh and said, "The Crown Princess is over-rewarding, the minister is really ashamed by you."
