Princess of the auxiliary country

Both of them looked embarrassed, and it took a while before Fang Zhilan said: "Brother, please quickly invite brother and sister Yaoyao to come in. What does it look like standing at the door all the time?"

"Yes, Yaoyao, let me introduce you as my brother. This is your sister Fang's brother."

After he finished speaking, the young man opposite held his hands and smiled and said, "I'll write a message below."

"Hello, Brother Fang."

Fang Zhiwen smiled gently, then pulled away and raised his hand to invite the two of them into the box.

At this time, everyone in the box had stood up, and when they saw Huo Junyao coming in, they all raised their hands and saluted.

There was no way, even though they were all officials' sons, except for Huo Jinyan and Fang Zhiwen, who had official status, the others were all white.

And what about Huo Junyao?That was the second-grade Princess Zhaode whom the emperor personally sealed, and her status was even much higher than that of their fathers.

"You don't have to be polite. I took the liberty of coming over to the party with my brother today, so I'm sorry to bother you."

Everyone smiled and were polite.

The atmosphere was actually better than before.

Some younger girls breathed a deep sigh of relief.

To be honest, when they heard that Huo Junyao was coming, they were a little scared.

After all, what happened at the New Year's Eve banquet last night had already spread, and many of them did not attend, but they heard about what Huo Junyao did yesterday.

Rumors are always exaggerated. No, what Huo Junyao, Princess Zhaode, did last night made them feel very domineering.

As for why there is such speculation, it is all based on Princess Qinghe.

Princess Qinghe was well-known throughout Chang'an City for being unruly and domineering. Huo Junyao dared to confront her head-on and suppressed her. Wouldn't that mean she was even more domineering than Princess Qinghe?
Such a person is not so easy to get along with, but following Huo Junyao's words just now.

They didn't feel domineering. On the contrary, their tone was gentle and not at all condescending. They called themselves me, not the princess.

You must know that in this Gyeonggi region, many people will bring their status when calling themselves in order to show their identity.

Let’s not talk about those noble people in the palace, what about me, this palace and so on.

Just outside the palace, there are many officials who would refer to themselves as "officers" when talking to others, as if they were afraid that others would not know that they were officials.

Apart from these officials, there are some women with status, such as my princess, my princess, my county lord, etc.

There aren't many people like Huo Junyao who call themselves me. It's less of aloofness and more of a closeness of similar status.

After sitting down, Fang Zhilan immediately took Huo Junyao's hand and asked, "Yaoyao, tell me quickly, what are the first and second couplets you last published last night?"

As soon as she said these words, she immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the box.

They had all heard about what happened last night, and they admired Huo Junyao's talent.

They are all children of official families. They often do arty things when they have nothing to do, so they are very interested in poetry and couplets.

They even copied the poems written by Huo Junyao last night.

And the last couplet left by Huo Junyao, about being a lonely widow with an empty window, has made many literati in Beijing today think hard about how to write the second couplet.

Fang Zhilan is one of them. Unfortunately, although Fang Zhilan also has a lot of talents, facing such a pair, she will not be able to think of a good second line for a while.

"This first couplet is really difficult."

"It's actually not difficult."

Huo Junyao smiled lightly and said the second line.

"Melancholy, worry, and fear of remembering love." After her words fell, everyone in the box subconsciously repeated it.

"Wonderful, really wonderful."

Fang Zhiwen clapped his hands and laughed, then looked at Huo Junyao with admiration and said, "The princess is truly unparalleled in talent, I admire her."

Others also expressed their admiration.

If they only met each other, they wouldn't be like this, but yesterday Huo Junyao also showed his attainments in poetry.

The words that came out of his mouth were quatrains that would last forever, but he was worthy of this sentence with unrivaled talent.

However, Huo Junyao felt a little embarrassed. After all, she had copied all these poetry pairs.

"What's the use of being talented? It's useless if you don't know how to be a good person."

Amidst the sound of appreciation, such a harsh word suddenly came out, and everyone immediately stopped and turned to look.

The person who spoke was a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.

At this time, her rather delicate face was filled with disdain, and her big moist eyes were staring at Huo Junyao, which was full of provocation.

"Sun Mingwei, what do you mean?"

Fang Zhilan was the first to frown and question.

"Literally speaking, in terms of talent, Princess Zhaode is indeed good, but as a person she is also really bad."

Facing Fang Zhilan's questioning, the girl named Sun Mingwei didn't care at all and continued to look at Huo Junyao provocatively.

"Oh? I don't know, how bad am I as a person?"

Huo Junyao didn't know who this Sun Mingwei was, but she was quite curious as to how the other party could say such a thing.

She believed that she had never done anything messy when she came to the capital city of Chang'an, and of course being labeled as such did not count.

"Princess, you are really a noble person who forgets things. In just a few months, how come you have forgotten the life-saving grace Miss Zhao Yan'er, the daughter of Duke Cao Guo, gave you?"

"I heard that the princess didn't even come to say thank you afterwards, and she even argued with her at the New Year's Eve banquet yesterday. This should be considered ungrateful, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the box suddenly became a little quiet.

They all knew very well what happened at the palace banquet, and they also guessed some general circumstances afterwards.

So even though there are still many rumors in the market, few people are talking about it in their circle.

But not talking about it doesn't mean it doesn't happen, it just means that everyone doesn't mention it anymore. After all, neither party is easy to mess with.

Let's not talk about the prince and Zhao Yan'er. They are proper members of the royal family. Talking about royal scandals is a serious crime.

And what about Huo Junyao?Not only is she a princess, but my father is still the Duke of the country, and my mother is the eldest princess, a top noble of a wealthy family.

There is no point in offending others with such shameful things that were clearly calculated and done by others.

Of course, there is an exception for one kind of person, and that is the person who wholeheartedly wants to curry favor with Dong Gong.

"Oh, I remember you. I met you at the palace banquet last night."

When Sun Mingwei said her first words just now, Huo Junyao looked over and felt that she had seen this person before.

When she heard her say this, she suddenly remembered that she had seen Sun Mingwei when she passed Zhao Yaner's table at the palace banquet yesterday.

It turns out that he is the one who fawns over Dong Gong and Zhao Yan'er. No wonder he provokes her like this.
