Princess of the auxiliary country

"There's something wrong."

Huo Junyao muttered softly and looked away.

Princess Ningyang, who had been paying attention to her, also saw Zhao Yaner's face, which was still smiling, instantly turned gloomy.

But after all, she didn't have an attack. There was nothing she could do about it. It was a palace banquet, and her identity was also here.

If you attack for no reason, you will probably be accused of being bullied by others.

Moreover, Zhao Yan'er has shown a life-saving grace to his daughter. Although many people have seen the twists and turns, it is not obvious after all.

As soon as the mother and daughter sat down, they saw a beautiful and dignified girl walking over.

"Zhi Lan has met Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess and Princess Zhaode."

This girl is none other than Huo Jinyan's unmarried wife, Fang Zhilan, the daughter of the right minister Fang Qiao.

As soon as she saw her, a smile immediately appeared on Princess Ningyang's face, and she enthusiastically took her hand and sat down beside her.

"Yao Yao, this is your second sister-in-law."

"I've met my second sister-in-law."

Huo Junyao quickly stood up and saluted.

"Princess, not allowed."

"What's your name, Princess? We are a family. This is too alienating."

As soon as I finished speaking, Huo Junyao nodded and smiled: "Mom is right, second sister-in-law, we are a family. You can just call me by my name, or just call me Yaoyao like my mother."

Fang Zhilan's pretty face turned red when she heard that she had a second sister-in-law and she was from the same family.

After all, this hasn’t passed yet.

"Then I'll ask you to call you Yaoyao."

"Well, that's fine."

Fang Zhilan was about the same age as Huo Junyao, and her personality was more cheerful and talkative. The two quickly chatted together.

The eldest princess Ningyang interrupted a few words, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Princess Ningyang was also very satisfied with how the two sisters got along with each other.

Since the last palace banquet, Huo Junyao's reputation has not been very good. Although many people behind her have seen the twists and turns, due to the relationship between the prince and the future princess, these people dare not Get close to them.

After all, no one wanted to inexplicably arouse the dissatisfaction of the prince and the future princess by getting too close to her.

"I really don't know, how can she have the nerve to come to the New Year's Eve banquet?"

"I heard that after she woke up, she didn't even thank Miss Zhao for saving her life. She is really ungrateful."

"That's right, I just passed by here and didn't even say hello."

The voices of several people were kept low. After all, Princess Ningyang was still there and they did not dare to provoke her.

But this does not prevent them from gaining a good impression in front of Zhao Yaner.

"Don't say that either. It's Princess Zhaode's first time attending a night banquet. It's not necessarily that she didn't notice us."

Chou Chou's words not only showed his magnanimity, but also secretly mocked Huo Junyao.

"Miss Zhao, she is bullied because she is too kind."

"Okay, everyone, please keep your voices down. Don't cause any trouble at today's New Year's Eve banquet, lest you make the emperor angry."

"Let's continue to guess what the poetry topics of this year's literary festival will be."

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the people at the table lit up, and many of them were secretly thinking that they would give Huo Junyao a good try during the cultural gathering.

I heard that the prince will also be present today, and maybe I can gain a good impression in front of the prince.There are several fourth- and fifth-grade officials’ daughters who secretly encourage themselves that they must perform well later. If they are attracted by the prince or a certain young master, they might be able to get a good job. Marriage.

Although the Yu Dynasty was relatively open, there were still not many opportunities for men and women to interact, so any big banquet was a good opportunity for marriage.

Especially for this palace banquet, the people who can participate are all rich or noble. In the past, there were some women from small official families who showed their talents and were valued by some nobles or clan members. Marrying into a high family changed their status very much. Phoenix.

"Yao Yao, you should pay attention to Zhao Yan'er and the others later."

Fang Zhilan suddenly lowered her voice and said to Huo Junyao.

As she spoke, she couldn't help but glance at Zhao Yaner's table.

Today, she came with her father Fang Qiao. As for her mother, Yuan, she was not here because she was busy with the New Year's Eve and the cold weather, so she caught wind and cold. She felt very uncomfortable, so she didn't come.

Earlier, she went to Fengqi Palace as soon as she entered the palace.

As Mrs. Yuan Ming, she must attend such an important palace banquet. If she is absent without any reason, she will naturally have to report it to the Queen.

No, when she came over after reporting the situation, she happened to hear many people talking about Huo Junyao, especially those at Zhao Yaner's table, who were full of hostility towards Huo Junyao.

But with her arrival, these people said nothing more.

But she also knew the dirty things Zhao Yaner did.

"They dare!"

When the eldest princess Ningyang heard this, she turned her head and glanced at Zhao Yan'er and others fiercely.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

"You are an elder, and your identity is there. You can just leave these matters to your daughter. What will happen to you? Isn't that just bullying the younger?"

Fang Zhilan beside her also nodded repeatedly and said, "Your Highness, it is indeed inconvenient for you to end up. I will help Yaoyao, don't worry."

Hearing this, Princess Ningyang smiled and nodded, feeling extremely satisfied with Fang Zhilan's words.

"Sure, I'll hold the line for you then."

Soon, the emperor arrived, followed by a group of concubines from the harem, including the princess and the prince, and His Royal Highness the prince was also among them.

"Is Princess Zhaode here?"

Emperor Zhaowu, who had just sat down, glanced around and asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Huo Junyao quickly stood up and saluted, "I have seen your Majesty."

"Don't be too polite, just sit down."

"It's the same for you girl. You don't want to wait in the capital, so you have to go outside the city to do something. It's freezing cold here."

Emperor Zhaowu smiled gently.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, she heard a voice answer: "Cousin, you have grown up in the countryside since you were a child. I'm afraid you are not used to the life in the capital, so you went to live in the country now, right?"

As soon as these words came out, many of the female guests had strange expressions on their faces, especially at Zhao Yaner's table, where many people burst into laughter.

This voice was quite abrupt. Princess Ningyang's eyes flashed coldly and she glanced over to Zhao Yan'er's table.

Those people were immediately frightened and turned pale.

The smile on Emperor Zhaowu's face also disappeared, and his eyes lightly swept over the women who were laughing just now. This time, they were even more frightened and their small bodies trembled.

Looking at Huo Junyao again, his eyes did fall on the person who answered the conversation just now.

A little girl of twelve or thirteen years old was sitting at the table of princesses.

"That is Princess Qinghe who is under the Queen's lap."

Princess Ningyang introduced in a low voice.
