Reborn eldest daughter

But when Zhao Keran saw the man in white, she was very shocked, not because of the man's excellence, but because she knew the man in front of her.This man in white is exactly - Situ Xu.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Zhao Keran probably guessed it too. It seems that Situ Xu should be the King Xu that the servant said just now!In fact, she had long guessed that Situ Xu was probably a member of the royal family, but she never thought that he was actually King Xu.

In fact, in his previous life, Zhao Keran had always lived in seclusion, and he didn't know much about everything around him, especially the affairs of the royal family.That's why she never knew that Situ Xu was King Xu.However, although she knew that Situ Xu was King Xu, she still didn't know much about King Xu.She just knew that the crown prince, King Xu and King Yi are all the sons of the current emperor, but they are not the first sons of the emperor, and which concubine they were born to, their status, etc., are still not at all clear. learn.

With the arrival of the three princes, Mrs. Qin led all the female relatives present to greet the three princes.

"The minister's wife (the minister's daughter) has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, has seen His Royal Highness Xu Wang, and has met His Royal Highness Yi Wang."

The prince hurried forward, helped Mrs. Qin up, and said with a smile, "Mrs. Qin doesn't need to be polite."

After Mrs. Qin got up, she said, "I don't know if His Highness the Crown Prince and the two princes are coming, it's my fault to welcome them far away."

Hearing Mrs. Qin's words, the prince smiled and replied, "Old Mrs. Qin, what are you talking about? You are our elders. We should be the ones who came to pay respects to you! Besides, today the prince, And the third brother and the fourth brother are just here to give you birthday gifts at the order of the queen mother, so there is no need for so many vain gifts."

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Mrs. Qin hurriedly greeted, "Your Highness, and the two princes, please go in and stop talking here."

Soon, everyone walked into the house.

Looking at the interaction between Mrs. Qin and the prince, Zhao Keran probably knew what was going on.Although I did live in seclusion in my previous life, I still have an understanding of some major events.The current prince is the eldest son and the eldest son of the empress, so he was established as the prince early.But now, there are many princes under the emperor's knees, and most of them have already been crowned kings.Moreover, the current emperor is still very strong, so it is still very difficult to predict who will win the throne in the future.

The emperor's mother-in-law is extremely filial, and the grandmother is a good friend of the queen mother, so the prince still values ​​his grandmother very much.At the very least, respect on the surface is absolutely indispensable.However, in my previous life, I didn't seem to have heard much about Situ Xu, the Xu King. Otherwise, when I heard the name Situ Xu, I should have a memory.

Thinking of this, Zhao Keran looked at Situ Xu's back, wondering what he was thinking.However, it happened that Situ Xu was also looking back at her secretly, and their eyes collided.

In fact, Situ Xu already knew that he would meet Zhao Keran here, and it was because of this that he came here.Since the last time Zhao Keran asked him for help, the two of them have never met each other again.However, he also secretly visited Zhao Keran after she fell asleep, and let Yi protect her in the dark.In addition, there are Qin Xiang and Shi Xiang by her side, so she is quite at ease.But even so, I still miss her very much, that's why I took the opportunity of today's birthday gift to meet her openly.

The moment he saw Zhao Keran, he realized how much he missed this little thing.Especially when he saw her surprised expression when she saw him for the first time, he felt very cute.However, the little thing is worthy of being the other half he fancy, after a brief surprise, he quickly regained his composure.

Now, seeing Zhao Keran's gaze, Situ Xu raised his eyebrows, as if he was asking, miss me?

Seeing Situ Xu's actions, Zhao Keran was surprised that he understood what he meant.However, even though he understood, Zhao Keran still turned his head away very capriciously, who would miss you!

Seeing Zhao Keran's response, Situ Xu felt very happy. He didn't expect Zhao Keran to understand him. It seems that the two really have a good understanding!Thinking of this, Situ Xu smiled even more happily.

Seeing Situ Xu's big smile, Zhao Keran frowned, pursed his lips willfully, and stopped looking at her.

In fact, before Zhao Keran noticed, she had already let go of her guard in front of Situ Xu, otherwise, she would never have made such a move.This kind of behavior similar to acting like a baby, she can do it in front of Situ Xu, has already explained this point very well, but Zhao Keran has not noticed it yet.

But Zhao Keran didn't notice, it doesn't mean Situ Xu didn't notice.Ever since Situ Xu knew what Zhao Keran had experienced, he already knew that Zhao Keran was definitely a very defensive person.Now, seeing Zhao Keran's actions in front of him, he felt that his hard work had not been in vain, and Zhao Keran had unconsciously accepted himself.He believed that as long as he continued to work hard, Zhao Keran would definitely fall in love with him.Thinking of this, Situ Xu smiled even brighter.

The two of them flirted with each other in front of everyone's noses, but it was a good thing, because after they walked away, no one noticed them.Only Qin Xiang and Shi Xiang saw this scene, but they all pretended not to see it tacitly.It's just that the joy in their eyes cannot be hidden.

Soon, everyone came to the hall and took their seats one by one. Mrs. Qin, who was supposed to be in the main seat, had already sat down because of the prince's arrival, and King Erxu and King Yi sat on the left and right sides of the prince respectively.

In fact, on such an occasion, the prince and two other princes should not have appeared.Even if they came, it would be considered proper etiquette to stay with Qin Yaozhi and the others in the front hall. However, the three of them appeared here because they were presenting birthday presents instead of the Queen Mother.

As soon as he was seated, the prince took the brocade box handed over by his entourage, and said to Mrs. Qin, "Mrs. Qin, this is a birthday gift brought to you by the Queen Mother."

After speaking, he handed the brocade box to the entourage beside him, and the entourage handed the brocade box to Mrs. Qin.

Mrs. Qin took the brocade box from the entourage, opened it, and suddenly felt a bright light in her eyes. There were two beads about the size of a baby's fist lying quietly in the box. The beads were round and shiny. A crystal clear bead, like a star in the dark night, emits a glittering light, and like a human eye, it is full of vitality and power.

Seeing these two radiant beads, everyone sighed, they are worthy of being belongings of the royal family, they are really precious, one can tell they are worth a lot at a glance.

Following Mrs. Qin's movement of opening the brocade box, the prince said with a smile, "Mrs. Qin, these two are not ordinary pearls. These two are very precious night pearls.

"What, Ye Mingzhu?" Everyone was very surprised when they heard the prince's words. They didn't expect it to be the legendary Ye Mingzhu.

You know, Ye Mingzhu is no ordinary pearl! "Night Pearl" is a natural jewel that can be seen by the human eye in the dark and can emit light by itself.Ye Mingzhu is a rare treasure, also known as "suizhu", "hanging bead", "hanging thorn", "bright moon pearl" and so on.Even at night, the light from the luminous pearl can make you feel as bright as day.In short, this night pearl is a rare treasure!Even in the Dali Dynasty, it should be difficult to find a few.However, I didn't expect to see such a rare treasure at Mrs. Qin's birthday banquet.

Seeing everyone's astonishment, the prince explained with a smile, "When the envoys from Nanyi Kingdom, a small country affiliated to our Dali Dynasty, came, they presented two luminous pearls as a tribute. The Queen Mother. The Queen Mother specially gave these two luminous pearls to Mrs. Qin, and the Queen Mother said that although she can't come in person, she still hopes to send her a blessing."

Hearing the prince's words, Mrs. Qin smiled very happily, "It's really hard to miss the empress dowager."

When the child is the emperor.The noble ladies who were present were all amazed when they heard the prince's words, no wonder these two luminous pearls are so precious, they turned out to be a tribute from the Nanyi Kingdom.However, it can be seen from this that Mrs. Qin is deeply favored by the emperor.Such precious two luminous pearls, the queen mother will give them away as soon as she wants.It seems that the relationship between the Queen Mother and Mrs. Qin is not so good!

After a while, Mrs. Qin put the lid on the box and put it in the hands of Zhou Nanny who was at the side.Nanny Zhou is Mrs. Qin's dowry maid. She has never married and has been serving Mrs. Qin's side all the time.

Probably because the three princes came all at once. Originally, the ladies of each family went to the backyard or garden, only the three granddaughters of Mrs. Qin remained here, but now, the wives of each family are all gone. The trace of the policeman called his daughter in.After all, it is not common for three princes to come all at once. If one of their daughters is attracted by one of them, she will marry into the royal family.Also, if she can be favored by the crown prince, then she may become the queen of the mother world in the future.Even if you can't be a queen, it's good to be a concubine.

For this reason, there are more and more ladies in the hall.However, fortunately, the hall of Duke Qin's Mansion is big enough, so there are so many young ladies here all at once, and it still doesn't look crowded at all.

After everyone chatted for a while, the prince saw that there seemed to be a picture scroll on the shelf beside him, so he asked his entourage to bring it over. When he opened it, he couldn't help but marvel, "It turned out to be Wu Zhouzi's "Spring Song on the Snow". "Ah, this hall is very eye-catching, to see Wu Zhouzi's painting here."

That's right, this painting is the one that everyone was still arguing about the authenticity of the painting just now. Then when they suddenly heard that the prince, as well as King Xu and King Yi were coming, everyone was busy going out to pick him up. Later, the maid holding the painting I walked in a hurry, and put it on the shelf as soon as I put it away.But I didn't expect that the prince would see it and take it.When everyone wanted to stop it, it was too late.Therefore, when the prince started to look at the painting, the people who were present just now had a very embarrassed expression. 13acv.

Everyone felt overwhelmed, but the prince seemed to be very interested, and kept admiring the painting, "It's really a good painting, and Wu Zhouzi's painting skills are really well-deserved!"

With the prince so interested, no one dared to speak, especially the content of the dispute just now, and no one dared to speak out.You said, when the prince is admiring the painting now, you can’t say, prince, you’d better not look at it, because you don’t know whether the painting is real or not.No one present dared to say that, after all, everyone didn't want to offend the prince for no reason.If it was true, wouldn't it be obvious that the prince had no vision, and couldn't even tell the real painting from the fake?

However, in this world, there are always some people who can't see the situation clearly. They just like to make some inappropriate actions at inappropriate times.

Just when the prince was very interested, Zhao Keren suddenly said, "Prince, don't be fooled, this painting is fake."

When Zhao Keren saw the prince admiring the paintings, he was already very anxious. If the prince said that this painting was real, then the one he sent would become a fake. Where should I put my face!At that time, if the prince has the opportunity, his authentic work will definitely become a fake, because no one dares to question the prince's words.Therefore, Zhao Keren decided to act first and speak first before the prince said that the painting was authentic, otherwise, he would definitely become the laughing stock of the whole capital.Especially Aunt Lin, she will definitely hate her to death.

Zhao Keren thought very well, but she didn't notice that when the prince said "good painting", he already felt that the painting was real in his heart.And when she speaks now, she is already questioning the prince's words.Otherwise, why no one in the room would speak, it is because everyone has already understood the situation very well, and they dare not speak rashly, for fear of offending the prince.

Normally, Zhao Keren would not lose his mind like that, but what happened today was too sudden.She never thought that Zhao Keran would give "Spring Songs on the Snow" to her grandmother, and it was in the presence of so many people.In addition, she just got engaged to Lin Xiran, so she must not offend Mrs. Lin at this time.So, Zhao Keren suddenly spoke.

Zhao Keren's words were like throwing a stone into a calm lake, what was stirred up was not a small splash, but a big wave.Hearing Zhao Keren's words, the hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone dared not speak, but looked at the prince cautiously.

Seeing Zhao Keren's actions, Zhao Keran almost burst out laughing.It seemed that Zhao Keren was really in a hurry, otherwise he would never have made such a move.In fact, she still understands Zhao Keren's feelings very well. She has always believed that the painting she gave to Mrs. Lin is the real one. If the prince says a word, her painting will become fake. Such a loss She absolutely refuses to eat it.However, it's good for her to speak like this. Now, even if it's for the sake of face, the prince will definitely evaluate this painting well.I don't know what kind of expression Zhao Keren would have if he knew that the one he gave was fake and this one was real?Really looking forward to it!

Situ Xu has been secretly paying attention to Zhao Keran, so when he saw a flash of interest in Zhao Keran's eyes, he guessed that Zhao Keran must have thought of something interesting, and it was definitely related to the matter in front of him.It seems that there will be another good show!

The prince was still admiring the painting with great interest, but Zhao Keren's words interrupted his interest.He frowned when he heard someone speak, "Who said that?"

The prince frowned, and raised his head in dissatisfaction, but when he noticed Shi Zhao Keren's words, the dissatisfaction on his face disappeared without a trace, and there was a flash of interest in his eyes, as if It's like a hunter seeing his favorite prey.

"Who are you? Was that what you said just now?" the prince asked with a smile.

Everyone was puzzled by the change of the prince.Just now the prince obviously had an expression of dissatisfaction, but why is he asking such a gentle question now?

Qin Yimiao naturally also noticed this scene, she looked at Zhao Keren with hatred in her eyes.That's right, it's hatred.Qin Yimiao is a woman, and definitely a sensitive woman.When the prince looked at Zhao Keren just now, she could still understand the plundering light in his eyes.

Qin Yimiao is definitely a smart woman, she knows what she wants.She is also a woman, and almost every woman wants to be on the throne of the matriarch, and she is no exception.Moreover, she has the best innate conditions.Prominent birth, good looks.Outstanding talent, all this is much better than others.In addition, Zhang Man'er kept talking in her ear all the time, so Qin Yimiao has always strived for the throne of the queen since she was a child.Coupled with the fact that the prince is handsome and extraordinary, Qin Yimiao has fallen in love with him a long time ago, so this also strengthened her determination to marry the prince.

But now, seeing that the prince is interested in Zhao Keren, Qin Yimiao feels that Zhao Keren is deliberately attracting the prince's attention.Otherwise, why would she look at the opening?Coupled with the matter of the white jade Guanyin statue just now, Qin Yimiao firmly believed that in fact, Zhao Keren just wanted to take away what belonged to him.

Thinking of this, Qin Yimiao hated Zhao Keren even more. Although she knew that Zhao Keren had already made an engagement, she was still very worried because it was Zhao Keran who had an engagement with Lin Xi before!Zhao Keren even wanted to snatch her sister's fiancé. If she had the chance, how could she let the prince's lesson go?

In short, the more Qin Yimiao thought about it, the more she felt that Zhao Keren was scheming, and the more she hated Zhao Keren.

And no matter what Qin Yimiao thought, Zhao Keren was very flattered. In fact, she already regretted it when she spoke just now, but she never expected that the prince would not be angry at all, and would talk to her so gently. This made her heart fall to the ground after being hoisted in mid-air,

"Returning to His Royal Highness, the minister's daughter, Zhao Keren, is the second daughter of the grand master's mansion, and I was the one who spoke just now."

"Zhao Keren, is that right?" Hearing Zhao Keren's answer, the prince smiled, "It's really a good name, it really matches you, and you're really a lovely person. I seem to have heard your name before. , one of the 'Four Beauties' in Beijing, isn't it?"

Hearing the crown prince's praise, Zhao Keren was very happy, "His Royal Highness has praised you absurdly."

Seeing this, Zhao Keran seemed to understand that the prince was interested in Zhao Keren!However, she seemed to remember that in her previous life, Qin Yimiao liked the crown prince, and she seemed to be given a marriage!However, it seems that this has not happened yet.Thinking of this, Zhao Keran looked at Qin Yimiao, and he saw Qin Yimiao's jealous eyes.It's really interesting!I didn't expect things to turn out like this. I wonder if Zhao Keren has seen the prince's intentions for her?If he knew, would Zhao Keren choose Lin Xiran or the prince?Really looking forward to the next development!

Zhao Keran watched the good show from the side, while Situ Xu secretly looked at Zhao Keran from the side.Especially when he saw Zhao Keran's lively expression, Situ Xu liked it even more.

The prince smiled, and then asked about the topic just now, "That's what you said just now, this picture of "Spring Songs on Snow" is fake, isn't it?"

Seeing that the prince didn't mean to blame himself, Zhao Keren was no longer afraid, stood up, blessed his body, and said, "Yes, it was just said by the court lady, this "Spring Song Stepping on the Snow Picture" "It must not be true."

"Oh, why?" The prince asked with great interest, "Why are you so sure?"

Zhao Keren explained, "Because I gave Aunt Lin a birthday present for the authentic "Spring Songs Stepping on the Snow", so this copy is definitely not real."

As soon as Zhao Keren finished speaking, Mrs. Lin stood up, "Back to His Highness, what Keren said is true, the original copy of "Spring Songs on the Snow" is here, so this one in front of me is absolutely true. It can't be real."

"What's going on here?" The prince asked very puzzled.

Upon hearing the prince's question, Qin Yimiao immediately stood up and told everything that happened just now.

After hearing Qin Yimiao's description, Zhao Keran couldn't help admiring it.Just when she hated Zhao Keren so much, what she said could be so fair and impartial.It seems that Qin Yimiao's ingenuity, as well as self-cultivation, are definitely first-class!

After listening to Qin Yimiao's narration, the prince was full of interest. He touched his chin and thought, "Who should I ask to inspect the painting?"

"Why don't you let me do it!" Situ Xu said suddenly.
