Fortune Princess

Chapter 129
A needle could be heard in the hall, and Rong Hui's heart rose to his throat, fearing that His Royal Highness, who disobeyed the emperor's wishes, would be punished, his probing eyes fell on him, Xiao Yichen knelt steadily without being impatient.

"Prince, I ask you, do you have a girl you like?" The dim light flickered in his eyes, looking at his son who had high hopes in front of him, Xiao Qixing asked.

"..." Xiao Yichen remained silent.Rong Hui felt sorry for His Highness the Crown Prince, he obviously liked it so much, but he could only hide it in his heart, His Highness the Crown Prince couldn't tell the Emperor directly that he liked Young Master Jing Yi, it's really that the Emperor's temper would not allow the whole family of Marquis Zhenyuan to be beheaded.

The eunuch was hesitant about how to open his mouth to break this situation without making the emperor angry, Xiao Qixing said, "Since you have your own ideas, then I will postpone this matter for now." Sighing in his heart, he owed it a few years ago Son, Xiao Qixing finally gave in.

"Thank you, Father." After the matter was completed, Xiao Yichen thanked En and got up.When he was about to lead Rong Hui away, Xiao Qixing's voice sounded again: "Prince, remember your identity." Before Xiao Yichen could respond, Xiao Qixing asked the eunuch to send him out, and the door of the hall was closed.

"Master, you scared this slave to death." Only now did Rong Hui dare to let out a breath and patted his chest in shock.Xiao Yichen joked that Rong Huibai had been by his side for so many years, kicked his ass, and decided to go to Hou's mansion to find Jing Yi.

Seeing the emperor kicking the prince out, the chief eunuch kneaded the center of his brows, stepped forward with insight, and took the initiative to massage the emperor's temples.

"The emperor is relieved, His Royal Highness is filial and knows it well."

Xiao Qixing snorted coldly: "I am very clear, I am just worried that the prince is not deeply involved in the affairs of men and women, and I am afraid that he will be confused and make women fascinated." Mu Mengyao is currently the best candidate for the crown prince, it is not easy to be a father Ah, each one of them puts him at ease.

There are no secrets in the palace. The emperor has agreed to the crown prince's proposal to suspend the selection of concubines, and it blew away in the harem like a gust of wind. Soon even the families of ministers outside the palace who heard the news got the news.

The fifth lady of Wei Wuhou's mansion is the most likely to win the crown princess. After selecting six of the women, Concubine Zhao called them into the palace in the name of the queen mother, and visited the queen mother together.The queen mother left them to talk in the palace, and even accompanied them to play in the imperial garden. The other five ladies and queen mothers were all indifferent, but they had a good time talking with Mu Mengyao. It shows grace.

"Miss, Miss is not well." The little maid with a double bun ran in from outside in a panic.

The young lady she was talking about was sitting behind the desk and drawing with a brush. The rice paper was spread out on the table, and most of the appearance of a man had been outlined. From his eyebrows and eyes, it was strikingly similar to the current Crown Prince Xiao Yichen.

"Xiaotao, how many times have I told you, don't make a fuss about everything." Mu Mengyao didn't raise her brows, and still wrote steadily, drawing the end of the person's eyes in the painting. The delicacy of a woman is intoxicating.

"Miss." Xiaotao stomped her feet, she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, why did their young lady still act like an old hater, not rushing.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Putting down the brush in her hand, and waiting for the ink to dry, Mu Mengyao looked around, always dissatisfied with her finishing touches. Hidden in my heart.

So when her father asked a painter to paint for her and sent her to the palace to choose a concubine, she was very happy in her heart. She never thought that her status as a concubine would come into his sight because of her birth date.What's more, she didn't expect that from the empress dowager's words, she vaguely deduced that both the emperor and the empress dowager seemed to intend to choose her as the crown princess.

This makes Mu Mengyao, who has a secret in her heart, not happy.Since returning to the palace, she has been unable to calm down, and can only rely on the appearance in her memory to draw a little bit of his appearance on rice paper every day to calm her emotions.

"Miss, I just heard from the master that the selection of the crown princess has been postponed." Xiao Tao blocked the rice paper behind her and looked at her lady anxiously, wanting her to know that the situation was serious.

Mu Mengyao, who originally thought Xiaotao was blocking her line of sight, was stunned when she heard this, she frowned slightly, and asked in confusion: "Why?" They had already entered the palace to meet the queen mother, and the imperial concubine also said The day of choosing a concubine has already been set, let them go back and prepare well, why is it suddenly postponed?
Seeing that Mu Mengyao finally took what she said seriously, Xiaotao hurriedly hit the iron while it was hot: "I heard from the master that His Royal Highness seemed to ask for it on his own initiative, and the emperor agreed." What the outsiders overheard, relayed to Mu Mengyao.Just as she was about to continue talking about her grievances, she saw Mu Mengyao's originally rosy and tender face turned pale, and her body shook involuntarily, feeling like she was on the verge of falling.

"Miss! Are you okay? Don't scare Xiaotao! Xiaotao will go and call you a doctor." I have never seen a young lady who has been so calm and self-possessed. It scared Xiaotao, and she wanted to slap herself. I can't help my quick mouth.

With her own strength, she helped Mu Mengyao to the chair and sat down. Xiaotao turned around to find a doctor, but Mu Mengyao grabbed her wrist.

"I'm fine, maybe I'm a little hungry, you tell the small kitchen to bring some snacks." Hearing Xiaotao's words just now, the feeling of loss was too strong, which made her unstable for a while, but she just learned etiquette and rules in front of the mother all the year round. Mu Mengyao quickly calmed down and sent Xiaotao away.

"Yes." Not daring to disobey Miss, Xiao Tao agreed.

Mu Mengyao was the only one left in the room. She got up and walked to the desk, looked at the portrait on the rice paper, stroked it with her slender fingers, and murmured, "Why? Isn't my portrait pretty?"

Even if there are turbulent waves in her heart, Mu Mengyao, who has always been gentle and virtuous in front of others, will not allow herself to have even the slightest inappropriateness. Her words and deeds have been carefully trained by the foster nuns invited by Mu Yang.In the entire capital city, if one talks about being dignified, decent, gentle and generous, who doesn't mention the Fifth Miss of the Mu family?

In any case, she still has a chance with His Royal Highness, it's just a delay, isn't it?There will always be a day when she will stand beside that man as the princess. Only she can be worthy of such a handsome and majestic man.

The prince's car drove to the gate of Zhenyuan Hou's Mansion, Rong Hui got out of the car and let the concierge pass.His Royal Highness came to Zhenyuanhou's mansion so frequently, there was no concierge he didn't know, so he honestly told Rong Hui about Jing Yi leaving the mansion early in the morning.
