The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 189 Cai Ming, Virtuous Name... This King Only Wants Her (3)
Zhao Yahou lowered her eyes and said nothing more.His eyes secretly looked at Zhao Shenghao, with constant doubts in his heart.Why since childhood, this cousin has been loved by his father, mother, queen, and aunt. No matter how evil he is, these people with power all over the world will protect him and pamper her?Is it because he is the only blood of the younger brother whom the father and aunt love the most?Or because of something else?
"Qian'er has seen the emperor's aunt and came here uninvited, and I hope that aunt will forgive her." Zhao Shengqian walked to the formal table and saluted respectfully.

The eldest princess showed a royal smile, and said sincerely: "You don't need to be polite, if you are willing to come, it will be too late for aunt to be happy. Come, sit next to aunt, and have a table with your brother Hao?"

Zhao Shengqian didn't mind at all, and smiled warmly: "Sit with brother Hao, it would be the best. Thank you, aunt, for making it happen." After finishing speaking, he walked up the steps without squinting, walked through the flowers, and sat beside Zhao Shenghao .He turned a blind eye to those noble ladies who kept casting admiring glances at him.

"Hao, the second brother is bothering you today." Zhao Shengqian smiled kindly, and was not angry because of Zhao Shenghao's lazy appearance.

Zhao Sheng shook his feet dryly, and smiled evilly: "It's okay, it's okay, anyway, this is my aunt's territory, and I don't care about it. But second brother, don't grab women from me."

Pooh--

Because of Zhao Shenghao's words, the noble ladies complained shamelessly in their hearts, how could he, a dude, compare himself with the noble second prince?

"Brother Hao, how could Brother Erhuang be like this?" Even Zhao Yahou couldn't help it, and said a fair word for Zhao Shengqian.

But Zhao Shengqian lowered his eyes and smiled, without saying a word, showing no displeasure at Zhao Shenghao's words.

This self-cultivation and calmness made the eldest princess nod secretly, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

"Hey, it's fine if you don't fight me." Zhao Shenghao ignored what other people thought, just laughed and focused his eyes on Chu Qing again.

This stark gaze almost immediately attracted everyone's attention to Chu Qing's side.Zhao Shengqian looked over, his eyes sparkled with astonishment, but he suddenly felt a vague sense of familiarity in those facial features.

Amid all the attention, Chu Qing did not show any restraint, and still maintained a slight smile. This performance made the eldest princess startled, and she slightly changed her opinion of her.

However, no one knew that at this moment, Chu Qing's surface was as calm as a pond, but his thoughts were turning back and forth in his heart.

She remembered Zhao Shenghao's words, in this place, he was in danger, and many people wanted his life.And this perfect second prince, is he an enemy or a friend?
If it's an enemy, I'm afraid he will be more difficult to deal with than the third prince who has a strange mind and exquisite seven orifices.What surprised her the most was why Zhao Shenghao caused so much trouble even though he was clearly an idle prince with no real power.

At that time, the former Xiaoyao King passed away, and Zhao Shenghao's last wish was a kind of protection for knowing the cause?
It seems... the mystery is getting bigger and bigger, but she accidentally stepped into this quagmire.Can she still get out intact?
"Bring flowers." The eldest princess ordered loudly, announcing the real start of the banquet.

Under the stage, the servants who had been waiting for a long time bowed and retreated. After a while, the four servants carried a huge porcelain jar to the center on a lacquer shelf.

In the porcelain vat, emerald green leaves float on the water like a cattail fan.On the dew-condensed leaves, a golden lotus flower is in full bloom, shining brightly in the sun, so beautiful that it makes Tiandi pale.Behind the lotus, there is a golden flower bud, which is about to bloom. I don't know when it will suddenly bloom, echoing the previous one.

The unique lotus fragrance quickly infects the surrounding air. The light and elegant smell makes people unable to help but take a deep breath. The refreshing feeling penetrates the heart and lungs.

"So beautiful!"

"gorgeous!"

"This is the golden lotus! Sure enough, it is better to be famous than to meet!"

"To see the golden lotus in this life, I really have no regrets in dying."

The voice of praise was overwhelming, and everyone was instantly taken away by the beauty of the golden lotus. They were so intoxicated that they had long forgotten that the golden lotus was just an introduction, and it was known that the real purpose of the banquet was not here.

Chu Qing's long eyelashes moved slightly. Although there was a look of appreciation in her eyes, the bottom of her eyes was clear.Perhaps, her attention in life is not like these boudoir ladies who put their love on flowers, plants, birds and animals. Therefore, although the nasturtium in front of her is beautiful, it has not reached the point where she can't let go of it.

"Miss Chu doesn't like flowers?" A gentle and courteous voice came from beside her.

Chu Qing turned her eyes, looked at Sang Youqing who was looking at her curiously, and smiled slightly: "Isn't Miss Sang just a little appreciative?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, feeling a little connected.

Suddenly, Sang Youqing's eyes became dim. She looked at Chu Qing, pursed her lips, and asked, "Miss Chu, Youqing is abrupt. I want to ask you a question. I wonder if it's okay."

"Miss Sang, you don't need to be polite. If Chu Qing can answer, she will definitely not shirk." From the bottom of her heart, Chu Qing didn't feel bad for this Miss Sang.

Smiling slightly, Sang Youqing looked at Chuqing gratefully, his eyes swept across Zhao Shenghao's face in the distance, and became a little bitter.This made Chu Qing understand that Sang Youqing's problem might be deeply related to Zhao Shenghao.

"What does Miss Chu think of Xiaoyao Wang?"

Chu Qing was stunned for a while, not knowing how to answer Sang Youqing's question.Looking at Zhao Shenghao, she happened to meet his 'tender and watery' eyes, and the corners of her mouth twitched, and she replied: "Chu Qing just arrived in Jianning not long ago, so I don't understand how he was invited here. I don’t even know much about it.”

This answer seemed to have been expected by Sang Youqing, she smiled gently and didn't mind: "My lord... also has a good side, he is not a bad person."

Chu Qing raised her eyebrows, looked at Sang Youqing thoughtfully, trying to figure out the meaning of her words.

Under her eyes, Sang Youqing's cheeks were blushing, and she whispered: "If possible, Youqing hopes to be with the prince, I don't dare to hope that he will change his mind, I just hope that he will live a peaceful life from now on. But , You Qing doesn't seem to be able to catch the eyes of the prince, but Miss Chu is quite favored by the prince."

After a pause, she struggled painfully with her thoughts in her eyes, raised her head, and met her clear and quiet eyes, which were dotted with starlight, like a fire cluster: "If Miss Chu really becomes a princess, how can she still be a princess?" Please be more tolerant and sympathetic to the prince."

Chu Qing was stunned, she didn't expect that Sang Youqing would say these words to her in the end.

"It seems that Ms. Sang and the prince have some past, if they sincerely agree, why don't they fight for it?" Chu Qing was a little annoyed at Zhao Shenghao's concealment.
