The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 26 The Prince Arrives
Hu Shaoan touched the tip of his nose, stood up, bowed his hands to his father, and backed out.His father was his financial support, and he did not dare to offend him easily.But Hu Furong wanted to argue with her father, but she didn't dare, so she twisted her handkerchief, gritted her teeth, retreated with a gloomy expression, and walked towards her courtyard.

She didn't want to warm the bed of a prince who was so sick that he would die at any time. The person she liked was Shui Qianliu.Thinking of Shui Qianliu, that misty white dress appeared in Hu Furong's mind, but immediately another beautiful and refined face appeared.The scene where the two met while listening to the wind and drinking tea that day is even more vivid in my memory.

The owner of the stunning little face made her expression ferocious, and murmured sinisterly: "Chuqing, ah Chuqing, since the name of an idiot can't ruin you, then don't blame me for being cruel. Without you This An Ning number one beauty, everyone's eyes will be on me."

The voice was cold and terrifying, and the little maid who followed her couldn't help shivering, as if being swept by cold air.

This day, the 21st year of Tianyuan, the end of summer, calendar, thirteen

This is a good day calculated by Qin Tianjian of the Southern Chu Imperial Palace, which is suitable for traveling. Of course, this is not for the common people, but for the third prince who has been weak and sick since birth.

Because, the prince suffered a serious illness again, and had to leave the capital city of Jianning, and come to the peaceful royal garden in the southern capital to recuperate and recuperate.

The prince travels, naturally all the way in style.Before the vanguard troops reached Anning City, the officials in the city had already inspected all parts of the city, the roads had already been washed clean, and flowers were clustered, ready to welcome His Royal Highness the prince.

The people of Anning City, those who appear on the main road to greet them are carefully selected by the government. They will not let those who are dressed in rags and have dirty skin appear in front of the royal family. The eyes of the arrogant, and the second is that they are afraid of affecting their political achievements.

The gate of the city has already restricted traffic, who would dare to enter or leave the city before the royal cavalry passed by?As a result, the three members of the Chu family who originally planned to go out of the city to Putuo Temple were also blocked in the city gate, and they could only leave after the third prince's team had passed.

Speaking of which, this royal garden is not in Anning City, but on the outskirts of the city.It is adjacent to the Putuo Temple where Chu Qing and the others are going, but according to the rules, all the royal family members have to enter the city first when they come to the Li Palace, which can be regarded as patrolling on behalf of the emperor, which is why the Anning City is so lively and grand.

Anning City is an important traffic route, and it is also a place with a prosperous economy and numerous merchants. At this moment, people who come and go are blocked near the city gate. This scene of huge crowds shows that Anning's parents, Lord Liu, have made great achievements under the rule, and they are happy to keep the goats. The old man with a beard is smiling, and the wrinkles on his face are like flowers blooming.

Chu Qing and his mother Li stayed in the carriage, while Chu Zhengyang watched from the outside. He didn't know that the third prince was coming to Anning, but when he saw Hu Boyi, who was dressed in bright clothes and stood calmly in front of the crowd, , he understood in his heart, it seems that Mr. Liu had already informed the richest man in Anning City in advance.

I'm afraid that the ostentation of today's welcome was also donated by this rich master.Chu Zhengyang had no sorrows or joys in his heart. To him, the purpose of running the Chu family business was to provide his wife and daughter with a stable and comfortable environment, and the rest was not important.

As if feeling the scrutiny, the haughty Hu Boyi turned his eyes, met Chu Zhengyang's gaze, a cold light flashed from the bottom of his eyes, and revealed a polite smile.

Similarly, Chu Zhengyang nodded and smiled at him out of politeness, and the two greeted him across the crowd.

bang bang bang-

The salute was fired from the city tower, and countless colorful confetti were shot into the air by the salute, and then fell down like a profusion, which immediately attracted people's attention.

Even Ming Liu, who was following Chu Qing in the carriage, opened the curtain curiously with Li's big maid and looked out.Fusu, who was sitting outside the carriage, moved out to make room for them.The two house slaves following the carriage stretched their necks to look at the avenue leading directly to the city gate. Everyone wanted to see the appearance of the royal family and nobles for the first time.

In the carriage, Chu Qing's little hands were wrapped by Li Shi's gentle palms, and the warmth flowed into Chu Qing's heart continuously along the arms.She looked at Mrs. Li curiously. There was no trace of curiosity on this beauty's face. This calmness did not look like that of a businessman's wife, as if she had already seen these scenes.

Even, Chu Qing had a strange feeling, as if the third prince who was coming outside was not as good as the daughter's hand that she was holding at the moment, as if, as long as she could hold this little hand, everything was enough.

This unusual abnormality made Chu Qing raise his eyebrows, and he was a little curious about the mother's origin.Perhaps, there is a little curiosity about the origin of the entire Chu family. Isn't it strange that a family that came here suddenly from other places and has no relatives or friends?

"A Li, do you want to watch the fun?" A soft and warm voice sounded.Li misunderstood Chu Qing's curiosity about her, thinking that the little girl also wanted to see the coquettish expression outside to join in the fun.

Chu Qing smiled without explaining.She is curious about everything in this world, and she is also interested in this so-called royal child.

She really wanted to see what the royal family and nobles were like in this era of feudal imperial power.

At this time, the sound of neat armor and the sound of horseshoes came, and Chu Qing adjusted her posture so that her sight could just pass through the gap between Mingliu and the others to look outside.

A pair of royal guards who opened the way entered solemnly. The strict and uniform momentum calmed down the people of Anning City at the beginning, and the noise gradually died down. In the end, only the sound of armor rubbing and horseshoes stamping on the ground remained. The golden armor that belonged exclusively to the royal family was dazzling under the sun, and the aura of the heavenly family made the onlookers kneel on the ground, welcoming the prince's guard of honor.

After the vanguard, the drums sounded. The music played by these musicians from the palace may not be like fairy music, but at this moment, to the ears of everyone, it shows the royal spirit and majestic atmosphere.

Palace ladies and eunuchs came one after another, each with almost the same expression on their faces, that kind of demeanor may only be trained in one place in the whole world.

Among the crowd, a luxurious carriage finally drove slowly, and the first thing that caught Chu Qing's eyes was the tall canopy embroidered with silver and gold thread.

The crawling of the crowd made it easier for Chu Qing who was hiding on the carriage to see the figure on the carriage under the canopy.With just one glance, she was taken aback.

A pair of gentle and clear eyes were framed on a perfect and handsome face, and the fine long hair covered his smooth forehead, hanging down to the thick and slender eyelashes, and the top of the hair was tied with a golden crown.
