C138 Palace Banquet(7)
"Our Crown Prince has a dignified bearing and is so gentle and amiable. He is always very friendly to everyone. When he smiles, he feels his entire body warming up. He is the husband in the dreams of many women. If Princess Murong of the Southern Chu really decides to be her husband, wouldn't that shatter the hearts of many women?"
"I'm afraid that you are one of those women whose hearts are broken, Xiangyin. That yellow-robed man, who was slightly older than the two of them and was called Big Sister Yi, jokingly said.
"You're still talking about me? I wonder who heard that the princess of Rongdi Kingdom was pregnant with Prince Lih's child a few days ago. Who was it that made me cry so hard that it seemed like they wouldn't let us go home, Sister Yi." The girl who was being teased wasn't angry at all. Instead, she replied with a retort.
Big Sister Yi's face turned red at first. Then, she felt relieved. "Now, I hope that Princess of Rongdi is really pregnant with Prince Lih's child. It's better than nothing. Prince Lih doesn't like women at all."
"Shh." Prince Lih waved his hand and signaled the other two to stop talking. The two nodded nervously. They looked around and saw no one else around them. Then, they left with ease.
However, the three of them had a heated conversation just now. They only observed their surroundings and did not notice anything. Someone on top of them had already told them what they were talking about. They had heard the three of them clearly.
"I didn't expect Xuanyuan Qi to be so popular. The eighth prince of the Southern Chu suddenly said.
Hearing this, the Eighth Prince's heart skipped a beat. Hearing that someone was talking about his sister, shouldn't he be angry? Why did this person not only not stop him out of anger, but instead teased the crown prince of Xuanyuan Kingdom? "Don't you think so, Miss?"
Lin Miaoting didn't know how to answer Murong Di's question. She had only seen Xuanyuan Qi once today, the great Crown Prince of Hao Xuan Country. What kind of person was he? She couldn't easily come to a conclusion.
"En ~ Forgive me for being hard to answer your question. I'm not sure if this Crown Prince is popular or not. Perhaps it's because this is the first time I've come to Haojing City. I'm not very familiar with whether this Crown Prince is popular or not. "
Lin Miaoting pushed this question out.
Then, what about Xuanyuan Yu? "Murong Di's lips curled up. "Miss, you can't say that you don't know War Lord," Lin Miaoting said. "And what about the one behind you?" Murong Di asked. "This maid looks familiar as well. It reminds me of a man called Mu Ze."
Murong Di's words were cleverly said, but Lin Miaoting wanted to curse. It seems like this guy is waiting for her here!
"This War Lord Prince Lih protects the country. In order to protect the safety of us civilians, we will naturally understand a little. After all, is life and death a big deal?"
Lin Miaoting answered truthfully.
Then according to what Miss saw, this War Lord of Xuanyuan should be more popular than you crown princes, right? "
Murong Di smiled with a gentle and innocent expression. However, Lin Miaoting could clearly feel the deep malice of this person. Moreover, he was definitely someone who hid his true intentions. To be more accurate, it should be called hiding a knife in a smile.
Lin Miaoting could not help but smile bitterly in her heart. This Murong Di had really asked a good question. If he answered correctly! Wouldn't that mean that War Lord would have a great reputation and would be more popular than the Crown Prince? If he did not answer, then he would have acquiesced.
Lin Miaoting lowered her eyes and then opened them. "In this world, the thoughts of a little girl are the most difficult to understand. Who knows who this little girl likes? In my opinion, I see the eighth prince. " You are also a good person. I believe that the degree of welcome in your Southern Chu is no less than our Hao Xuan's War Lord and the Crown Prince."
Lin Miaoting changed the topic and directly answered the question in another way. Just as Murong Di was about to speak again, the sound of a woman's charming voice came from outside the pavilion.
"Big brother, we should go."
Listening to the message in her voice, the person who came from the pavilion should be Murong Di's younger sister, Murong Jing, the princess of the Difficult Country. Lin Miaoting's heart relaxed. She smiled and nodded at the woman and bowed slightly.
Seeing this, Murong Di could not stay any longer. He turned around and left the pavilion. However, the way he looked at Lin Miaoting before he left was a little thought-provoking.
Lin Miaoting did not give Murong Di too many meaningful looks. Right now, she only had one thought in her heart. It was this fox that had finally left. She was afraid that if Murong Di didn't leave now, she would be driven crazy by the eighth prince's question.
Lin Miaoting patted her chest to ease her nervousness.
"Xia Yu, do you know how Murong Di is? "I think he is innocent on the surface, but he must be a scheming person in his heart. However, what I'm more curious about is how did I know you? "
Lin Miaoting turned her head and looked at Xia Yu who was patiently packing her food box. She said her feelings and also asked her questions.
"A few years ago, under Mistress's orders, she accompanied my young master to South Chu to see the Emperor of South Chu. At the same time, she also checked on him. " I want to know some things. "I think that the Eighth Prince must have remembered me at that time! "After all, at that time, Master and I were personally recommended to the Eighth Prince by Master."
"Oh." Lin Miaoting nodded. It was no wonder that the eighth prince would bring the topic to Xuanyuan Yu. However, it seemed that Xuanyuan Yu had some relationship with Murong Di. Otherwise, he wouldn't have recommended the people around him. Could it be that Murong Di and Xuanyuan Yu only had a good relationship?
Lin Miaoting was even more suspicious in her heart.
After Xia Yu's introduction of Murong Di, Lin Miaoting had a rough understanding of this person.
This Murong Di was born by the late Empress and was a brother and sister pair with Murong Jing. Because his uncle was the current Prime Minister of the Southern Chu, and he was born by the late Empress, he was the legitimate son. Thus, there were many people who supported the eighth prince to become the Crown Prince.
However, the King of the Southern Chu favored his second son, so he had always used the reason that the Eighth Prince was not yet an adult to reject the suggestion of the ministers to appoint the son of late Empress, Murong Di, as the Crown Prince.
Although the second son was born by the current Empress and was deeply doted upon by the Emperor, he had a weak character. Thus, he did not have the support of the ministers, and this caused the position of Crown Prince to be suspended in the air.
"If that's the case, if Xuanyuan Qi marries his sister, won't he be even more confident?"
"Miss, please tell me about this for the time being. Although it's not in the Southern Chu, people's words are still frightening."
"What's more, there are still our people, right?" Lin Miaoting sighed helplessly and once again sighed at the bloodshed in the Imperial Palace. She just did not know if Xuanyuan Yu would become a member of the road to the throne.
If that was the case, how would she face him? If it wasn't for that, how would she treat him?
However, in this palace, was it up to Xuanyuan Yu to choose?
Countless questions lingered in her mind. She felt that something was about to break out of its cocoon.
