Six years after the suspended animation, the father of the cub caught up with him

Chapter 67 The Palace Knows That Princess Lin Is Not Dead

"Everyone, take your seats." Chu Baihan continued in a low voice.

"Today's eldest princess banquet, such a chance to befriend her, why only three princes came?"

Just sat down, someone whispered not far away.

Their voices were indeed low, but for an expert like Chu Baihan, it was a breeze to hear them clearly.

"That is, the emperor didn't even give the eldest princess a marriage. He only said to see which prince gets along better with the eldest princess before deciding who to give the marriage to. Such a good opportunity, shouldn't all the princes come?"

"You want to talk about the third prince Hao Wang, the eighth prince Lin Wang and the ninth prince Lian Wang, right?"

"The power of the third prince's family is a bit weak. He probably saw this clearly. He thought it was impossible for the eldest princess to marry him, so he gave up early."

Hearing them talking about the third prince, Chu Baihan paused slightly with the hand holding the teacup.

The third prince, King Hao...

What kind of person is the other party?
She is really getting more and more curious. "Let's not talk about King Lian, he used to be full of thousands of flowers, and a single leaf didn't touch his body. He is not suitable for the eldest princess." Those people started discussing again.

"As for Prince Lin, it's really hard to guess what they are thinking. Didn't he say that he is concerned about the deceased Princess Lin? He should not be willing to accept this marriage offer."

"Looking at it this way, only the crown prince and the eldest prince are the most likely to marry the eldest princess."

"..."

Listening to those people's discussions, Chu Baihan only felt ironic.

Prince Lin already cared about the deceased Princess Lin?

A person who forced his own concubine to death, what qualifications does he have to pretend to be affectionate?

"At the palace banquet that day, the ministers only wanted to give a good performance to the emperor and the empress. Maybe your words were presumptuous to the eldest princess, so please don't be angry." At this time, Liu Shuxin came forward with a wine glass, so Zuo said apologetically to Chu Baihan.

Everyone's eyes are looking at this side, and their eyes still have the meaning of inquiry.

They were all curious about Chu Baihan's stomach, would this matter pass?
"Miss Liu is serious. Since it's for performance, your actions are normal..."

Chu Baihan put down the teacup in his hand and said softly.

Everyone was muttering in their hearts, this is Banyan Kingdom, Liu Shuxin was favored by the emperor and empress, it is estimated that the princess of Nanduan Kingdom is angry, so she can't get angry.

Just when they thought this matter was about to come to an end, Chu Baihan suddenly raised his eyes, looked at Liu Shuxin faintly, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Since Miss Liu likes acting so much, today I will take advantage of the crowd , how about you perform one?"

what?
Liu Shuxin raised her head in shock.

That day was the emperor and queen in the palace, she should perform as she should.

Now that Nan Baihan asked her to perform by name, did she treat her as an actor?

"Eldest princess, my daughter..." She disapproved in her tone and wanted to refuse.

In the end, before he could finish his sentence, Chu Baihan's eyes turned cold, "What? This princess seems to be resentful when she sees Miss Liu? Is this princess not qualified for you to perform?"

The banquet, which was very lively just now, suddenly became silent.

Seeing that Liu Shuxin was unhappy, Yan Wen took the initiative to stand up: "Princess, Shuxin..."

"Princess Ten, this princess is talking to Miss Liu, it seems it's not your turn to intervene."

Chu Baihan stared sideways at Yan Wen, and a murderous look flashed in his black eyes.

Yan Wen is a spoiled princess who is used to indulgence, when she faced such a powerful murderous intent, she was momentarily stunned.

But Chu Baihan didn't give them a chance to breathe at all.

She looked directly at Yan Xiao, and asked quietly: "Your Highness, do you think this princess's move is appropriate?"

Everyone turned to Yan Xiao with cautious eyes.

Will His Highness the Crown Prince protect Miss Liu or Princess Chang?
Yan Xiao was originally drinking tea, looking indifferent to the world.

Hearing that Chu Baihan brought disaster to him, he didn't get angry, but a smile flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "Since this is the eldest princess' banquet, naturally everything will be handled by the eldest princess." It's up to you."

The implication is—this dance, Liu Shuxin must dance.

Liu Shuxin was stunned for a moment, but when she realized it, her expression was full of shame and anger.

The prince's brother didn't even defend her.

"Miss Liu, you can dance. If you dance well, the princess will reward you a lot."

Chu Baihan leaned half of her body on the chair, with a lazy expression, she said leisurely.

With her appearance like this, it seemed that Liu Shuxin was a singer.

But at the scene, no one spoke for Liu Shuxin at all.

With so many eyes staring at her, although Liu Shuxin felt hatred in her heart, she could only bite the bullet and start dancing.

She didn't know many dances, but the dance at the palace banquet that day was already the dance she was most familiar with.

So she had to bite the bullet and dance that dance again.

Seeing her clumsy appearance, many noble ladies present couldn't help raising their sleeves and covering their faces, so as to hide their smothered smiles.

"Eldest princess, my daughter is done dancing."

Finally, when the sleeves fell down, Liu Shuxin gritted her teeth and said.

"You danced well," Chu Baihan didn't even look at Liu Shuxin, she said softly, "Xing'er, take off that hairpin on your head, the princess will give it to Miss Liu."

"Yes, princess." Xing'er quickly took off the hairpin.

Isn't it humiliating to take something from the handmaid as a reward?

Sure enough, upon hearing Chu Baihan's words, Liu Shu was so angry that she wanted to kill someone.

But Chu Baihan didn't seem to let her go, she continued to ask Nan Xing: "Xing'er, this princess gave this hairpin to Miss Liu, you won't be angry, right?"

"I won't be angry, anyway, princess, the night pearl, Jinbuyao, and agate that you bestowed on the servant has already filled several boxes, so this hairpin is not bad."

Nan Xing replied calmly, then walked to Liu Shuxin with the hairpin and handed it to her, "Here, this is given to you by our eldest princess, you must guard it carefully."

This hairpin is very simple, without any jewelry on it, if it is placed in an ordinary person's house, it will be disgusted.

But the eldest princess gave her to Liu Shuxin.

The most important thing is that the rewards for a servant girl are night pearls, agates, and golden steps.

This is really, humiliating!

They finally understood that this eldest princess was extremely vengeful.

Don't offend her in the future.

"Okay, everyone, don't be spoiled by some people, the princess has already prepared a song and dance, please take your time to appreciate it." Chu Baihan said slowly.

Soon, a group of singers rushed in.

When the singing sounded, they danced in the middle.

At this level, Liu Shuxin was a few blocks away.

Everyone can only bite the bullet and appreciate it.

But Chu Baihan sitting here is very boring.

She got up slowly, walked back to the backyard, and stood by the lake.

Looking at the clear water of the lake, she asked Nan Xing behind her in a weary voice: "Yan Guo is really boring, not half as good as Nan Duan Guo."

But it took a long time to wait for Nan Xing's answer. She felt weird and couldn't help turning around.

It turned out that Yan Xiao had already stood behind him at some point.

"Eldest princess lives in the Yan country, grows up in the Yan country, so many years of feelings are not as good as the six years in Nanduan country." Yan Xiao walked to her side, raised his eyebrows, and said casually.

Hearing his words, Chu Baihan's eyes flashed sharply.

But her face was calm, and she asked directly: "What does this mean, His Royal Highness?"

"I know the truth about the fire in the temple that year, and I also know... that Princess Lin is not dead."

At this moment, Yan Xiao turned sideways, his tall body turned over, and his dark eyes just looked at her.
