NOVEL NEXT Chapter 38:
Only Liu Wanning, who maintained a prostrate posture, was incompatible with the joyful atmosphere in the hall.
However, no one, including Princess Changle, dared to remind Xiao Junzhan whether he wanted to get up.
As the night grew darker and the banquet ended, Xiao Junzhan stood up and left the banquet. When he passed by Liu Wanning, who had been kneeling in worship all night, he did not stop. He only glanced at her casually and said softly: "No courtesy. "
The proud-looking girl's face, which was already dripping with cold sweat, instantly turned pale.
It's nothing more than murder and heart-wrenching.
…
On the carriage back to the palace, Xiao Junzhan held the warm jade in his hand, carefully stroking the word 'Ran' on it, his eyes gentle.
Ning Hai on the side said in a low voice: "After all, she is the daughter of Duke An Guo, and His Highness did not show any face to her today."
“My heart is as high as the sky. Saving face only gives rise to greater ambition.” Xiao Junzhan looked slightly restrained and said quietly: “What she wants, I can’t get it.”
Ning Hai thought of the vivid figure of the girl from the Wei family and said with a smile: "Your Highness has never indulged in female **** in the early years. Now that he has his own heart, even more..."
Xiao Junzhan paused his fingertips and glanced at him: "What do you want to say?"
Ning Hai knew that he was in a good mood at the moment, so he was not frightened. Instead, he smiled and said, "I am happy for Your Highness."
He was really happy. As a close servant who followed Xiao Junzhan closely, Ning Hai knew that before meeting the girl from the Wei family, his master had even considered the idea of adopting a step-heir from the clan, and he had no intention of forcing himself to accept a noble girl from any family. The position of the Crown Princess of the East Palace.
Regardless of his illness, His Majesty made several attempts to choose a concubine for His Highness, but His Highness was completely unmoved.
Now, I am afraid that even His Majesty would be overjoyed to have a girl open His Highness's heart.
As for taking care of the eldest son...it has never been a problem.
Ning Hai lowered his eyebrows and thought coldly, even if he borrowed the courage of a leopard from heaven, no one would dare to rob someone with His Highness.
…
The next day, Wei Hanzhang got up early and prepared to go out for a banquet.
As the eldest daughter of Princess Changle and the crown prince of the Duke of Qi, Qi Yuxiao was canonized as a first-grade princess by His Majesty just after she landed. Although her surname is not Xiao, her maternal grandfather is His Majesty, and her direct uncle is the future His Majesty.
Compared to the real Princess of the Xiao family, the status of Princess Chengyi is more noble. If Liu Wanning is the most beautiful woman in the capital, then Qi Yuxiao is the most noble woman in the capital, and she is absolutely unparalleled in the limelight.
Her haircut banquet was attended by numerous aristocratic families in the capital. They were all proud to receive the message, so it was naturally very lively.
Qi Yuxiao's marriage has not yet been decided, and today the intention is to select a good husband for her. Most of the young men from various families who are not engaged are here.
The only person in the Zhongyong Hou family who is qualified to enter into this marriage contract is Wei Yunshan, the third son of the crown prince Wei Huan, who has already gone to the side of the male guests with his father, brothers and uncles.
Today we went to the banquet. The female family members of the Wei family were led by the imperial concubine Qian. Only two girls came, Wei Hanshuang and Wei Hanzhang. As a concubine, Wei Hansu was not qualified to attend.
There were too many guests, and sisters Wei Hanzhang and Wei Hanshuang were far away from each other. They could not watch the entire hairpin ceremony.
In the middle of the journey, I heard a brief noise coming from inside. It seemed that His Highness the Crown Prince had specially sent a nine-section whip in order to celebrate the coming of age of his niece. Although His Highness was unable to come in person due to busy schedules, the rare whip he gave to Princess Chengyi was still the envy of countless girls.
Princess Chengyi is the only daughter of Princess Changle. She is the granddaughter of His Majesty. She has been pampered since she was a child. She is different from the virtuous and gentle women of ordinary noble families. She has a coquettish temperament, loves to wield whips, and is quite skilled in martial arts.
Hence, it can be seen that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince’s gift was really thoughtful.
Wei Hanzhang is nothing to envy. Isn't it normal for an uncle to love his niece?
It's not like she doesn't have an uncle, ah... Her uncle is still on his way to Beijing. He will probably arrive in Beijing tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
After the hair-raising ceremony, the guests dispersed, and Wei Hanzhang and several girls visited the back garden of the Duke of Qi's mansion.
The backyard of the Duke of Qi's Mansion was much larger than that of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, and the scenery was more unique, but Wei Hanzhang had no interest in watching it.
When they came to a waterside pavilion corridor, the girls stopped here. Wei Hanzhang listened to their chat, holding his chin and looking boredly at the lotus pond in the distance. bud.
She thought she would see the rumored Liu Wanning today. Ever since she heard this name from Wei Hanyue, Wei Hanzhang had been very curious about the eldest daughter of Duke Anguo and the most beautiful woman in the capital.
I heard that she admired the current crown prince, and waited for several years for the crown prince to choose a concubine. She wasted her youth. Now she is nearly twenty years old, and she is a real "old girl".
However, even if she is an 'old girl', she is also the most beautiful 'old girl' in the capital. She is of noble birth, has beautiful appearance, and is infatuated with the prince.
In the eyes of many people, as long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing to choose a concubine, the daughter of Duke An Guo will be a popular candidate for the Crown Prince's wife.
Last time at the birthday banquet of Yongle Marquis, Wei Hanyu fell into the water and encountered the Shen family's troubles, which caused the Wei family to leave temporarily. Wei Hanzhang did not have time to see this 'femme fatale' who was certified by Wei Hanyue. , and was forced to follow the adults back home.
Today Wei Hanzhang came to the Chengguo Palace for a banquet. He wanted to make up for the regret of not seeing this beauty last time. Unexpectedly, Liu Wanning did not come. Listening to these girls chatting, it seemed that they were hugging each other. Ill.
The only expectation of coming here was not realized, and Wei Hanzhang was very bored. He had known better to stay at home, and he happened to go next door to brush up the favorability of Prince Xiao.
Counting the days, the Jiang family should arrive in Beijing in the next two days. According to the law, they will be imprisoned in prison. Both his maternal grandparents are old, so Wei Hanzhang can rest assured.
Among the people she knew, the only one who could help the Jiang family in this matter was Prince Xiao.
Just as my soul was wandering outside, the noise around me suddenly stopped. It turned out that today’s protagonist, Princess Chengyi Qi Yuxiao, had arrived.
The fifteen-year-old girl was wearing a bright red dress, holding a long black whip in her arm, and strode towards this side.
All the girls, including Wei Hanzhang, respectfully said, "I have met the princess."
Qi Yuxiao stopped, looked at them, and said, "Which one of you is called Wei Hanzhang?"
Everyone was silent, and then looked in the direction of Wei Hanzhang with different expressions. Those who were familiar with her were puzzled. They didn't understand how she got into trouble with this unruly princess just after she returned to Beijing.
After all, if you hear Princess Chengyi’s tone, nothing good will happen...
Wei Hanzhang was also confused. She took half a step forward and said, "My daughter is here."
