Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 260 The Second Son
Watching the young man step by step down from the highest point and then onto the ring, the audience was silent.

Not everyone knows him, but everyone knows that he is unusual.

Just because he didn't come from where he was supposed to go.

Fengyuan Chen Zihan.

The names announced by the etiquette officer surround the entire hall.But this young man with the name of Fengyuan didn't walk out from the position of Fengyuan under the ring.

This young man in armor actually walked out from behind Jiang Yuan, the Second Highness of the Southern Chu Royal Family who was sitting on the highest seat.

His Highness Nanchu Second Highness.

Ying Baoyue knew about this Second Highness, when she told Ms. Yao that the Second Highness Nanchu would be present at the Jixia Banquet she was going to attend the next day, Ms. Yao directly dropped the plate.Only then did she learn that the Second Highness of Southern Chu was actually the marriage partner that Ying Hanri had originally chosen.

Of course, if it weren't for the fact that the former Qin court still had a basic sense of shame, Ying Hanri would have even thought about betrotting his younger sister to the King of Southern Chu, or that he already had the eldest son of his regular wife as his concubine...

In the end, Ying Hanri's decision was blocked by the former Qin veteran who believed that the emperor's blood must at least be a royal family member.

In addition, there are rumors in Southern Chu that the second prince is actually the most powerful in the royal family of Southern Chu. Because the eldest son is weak, maybe the new King of Southern Chu will be this Second Highness in the future. Ying Hanri immediately made a decision to propose marriage. His Highness Nanchu Second Highness.

then……

It was rejected.

The king of Southern Chu personally protected Chunhua Jun of Southern Chu.

Basically, it can be understood that he does not want the former Qin princess to harm his son.

Ying Baoyue didn't know how the royal family of Southern Chu viewed this marriage, but because Ying Hanri's letter of credence issued for the first time named her and wanted to marry her to the Second Highness, at the engagement banquet, this It was embarrassing enough for the Second Highness to appear.

When entering the arena before, many people were spying on the eyes of the Second Highness, but they didn't see anything.

Yep, saw nothing.

Ying Baoyue looked ahead quietly, instead of looking at the top of the high platform in exclamation like everyone else.

Just as the people of Qin prefer black, the people of Chu prefer red.

The young man who walked into Tongtian Pavilion with his guards in the traditional red curly skirt of the Southern Chu royal family was even redder than Ji Jiashu who was engaged today.

Facing everyone's compliments and kneeling, the young man acted gracefully and smiled.

But under that smile, people treated him with more respect.

It reminded Ying Baoyue of the rumors he had heard from Ji Qingyuan about the Second Highness of Nanchu.

There are rumors about the "smiling tiger" of the Second Highness.

Sixteen or seventeen was supposed to be the age to be manipulated by others, but this Second Highness who was born in a cold palace was very unusual. It was rumored that he looked easy-going and even a little lazy, but his behavior was unpredictable and vicious.

Unpredictable and vicious...

Hearing this rumor, Ying Baoyue didn't know whether it was luck or misfortune for the former Qin Dynasty not to be able to marry the Second Highness.

When he came in before, there were still many people looking at her and him, as if they still hoped that something would happen between them.

But Ying Baoyue didn't look at the young man at the engagement banquet before, but only glanced at him when he was welcomed into the hall by the crowd.

Because Ying Baoyue realized something when he entered the door.

The Nanchu boy who was always smiling didn't look at her from the beginning to the end.

When he cast his gaze this way, there was only one person he looked at, and that was Ji Jiashu.

Although he came as a representative of the Southern Chu royal family, His Royal Highness had a modest style and swaggered over with only one guard. He sat there as a mascot throughout the engagement banquet and the Jixia banquet, calmly letting the People almost forgot about him.

However, he did not expect that the guards next to His Highness would also participate in the Jixia Banquet, as a disciple of Fengyuan who had never heard of it.

"Chen Zihan? Who is this person? My younger brother is from Fengyuan, why haven't I heard of this person?"

"Isn't this attire a guard in the palace? His Highness's guard is a disciple of Jixia Academy?"

"The Fengyuan is also in chaos, no one knows that this one is going to play, right?"

"Where is Senior Brother Fengyuan? Wait... The name of Senior Brother Fengyuan seems to be..."

The people around the ring were gossiping, but at this moment someone finally remembered that person.

Looking at Ji Jiashu who was looking at the young man on the stage with a complex expression, Ying Baoyue looked at the appearance of the young man named Chen Zihan, and then looked at Chen Zichu who was standing upright and silent, "Is that your brother?"

Can you stop guessing so fast every time?
Chen Zichu smiled wryly, "What if I say no?"

"That's my brother-in-law," Ying Baoyue continued, "His mother was given to you by the King of Southern Chu...father?"

Ying Baoyue paused, but still didn't say the word "trophy".

But Chen Zichu understood what she meant in an instant, and a chill ran from his spine to Tianling Gai. He looked at Ying Baoyue in astonishment, "Check..."

"No," Ying Baoyue shook her head, "I guess."

"There is a barrier that other people can't hear." Ying Baoyue glanced at Ji Jiashu, who had a more complicated expression beside her. It is naturally bad to reveal other people's family affairs, but Ji Jiashu must have known what she said a long time ago, "I'm sorry, making wild guesses gone."

No one else can guess like you...

Chen Zichu didn't expect that this woman would really be able to guess so deeply when he refused, which is simply creepy...

"It's nothing." He didn't confirm or deny it, but just took a deep breath and looked at the girl in front of him playfully, "But how did you guess?"

Ying Baoyue listened to the rumors of other people under the high platform, and looked into the brown eyes of the armored boy.

"If it's just an ordinary bastard, it's impossible that so many people don't know him, unless his father doesn't want to reveal his identity." She said quietly, "And this person's appearance has the characteristics of a nomad in the Northland .”

Pushing forward the age, when Chen Zihan was born, the Qin Empire first ruled the world, and intermarriage among the vassal states was not common, and Chen Zichu's father was a general. One keyword is enough for Ying Baoyue to make such a guess.

Just looking at Chen Zichu's reaction, Ying Baoyue knew that her judgment was correct.

Not only was there no problem, Chen Zichu took a deep breath and looked at the young man on the ring.

"That's right, this is my younger brother, Chen Zihan."

A concubine who follows in his footsteps forever, but rarely shows himself in front of the world.

"He doesn't often appear in Fengyuan, so not many people know about him," Chen Zichu said lightly.

Naturally, he was not included in the list arranged by Fengyuan this time.

But no one can stop him from playing, because the person who let him play is that person.

Looking at the smiling Jiang Yuanyuan on the high platform, Chen Zichu felt a chill in his heart.

"How is your brother's strength?" At this moment, another elder brother, Ji Qingyuan, suddenly asked.

However, contrary to everyone's expectations, Chen Zichu said lightly, "I don't know."

But looking at the young man with his sword unsheathed on the high platform, Chen Zichu said quietly, "But I know..."

"He's stronger than me."
