Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

Chapter 46 Attending the Banquet

After everyone finished their work, the group finally had a few days of peace and quiet. But before they could enjoy the leisurely days, the first day of May arrived.

Today is Princess Jiashan’s birthday.

Liuli went to Prince Yun's Mansion to find Xiao Zuochen and the others early in the morning. Today she was dressed like a scholar.

"How about this one?"

Liuli naturally turned around in front of Yunyou. Of course, she meant to ask Yunyou if she looked like a man in this outfit. Chu Yao thought he was deliberately showing off his beauty to a girl.

So Chu Yao also turned around Liu Li left and right, looked at him carefully, and finally nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, he is indeed a handsome young man."

No wonder King Qing likes it~

Xiao Zuochen saw Chu Yao's "vulgar" expression and shook his head with a wry smile. Suddenly his expression changed drastically, and he realized that Chu Yao had told him before about Prince Qing and Liuli... He thought that they were having an affair!

"Chu Yao, actually..." Liuli is a girl!

"Your Highness, as you requested, the gifts have been prepared and loaded onto the carriage. Do you want to check them again?"

Just when Xiao Zuochen was about to explain to Chu Yao, Uncle Mo came over and interrupted what Xiao Zuochen was about to say to Chu Yao.

"No need, Uncle Mo has never made any mistakes!"

Xiao Zuochen was relieved to know that Uncle Mo was doing the job.

"Uncle Mo, did you take some treasures from King Yun's treasury for me? You said a few days ago that you would give me something good!"

Chu Yao didn't care what Xiao Zuochen wanted to say to him just now, and turned around to talk to Uncle Mo. Uncle Mo stroked his mustache and joked with him.

"Haha, Master Chu, you are joking. How could I secretly give you my master's treasure? But if you have any treasure, you must hide it carefully. You never know when I will steal it for my master~"

"Uncle Mo!"

Chu Yao didn't expect Uncle Mo to be so "heartless". He really protects his own shortcomings.

"Hahaha!"

"If there's nothing wrong, we're ready to go."

Xiao Zuochen said to Chu Yao and Liuli.

The two nodded, and several people prepared to get on the carriage.

"Your Majesty, wait a moment!"

As Xiao Zuochen turned around, Uncle Mo called him again.

Xiao Zuochen turned back with a little confusion. Uncle Mo walked forward and helped Xiao Zuochen tidy up his clothes, then sighed.

"Alas, the palace is lacking a mistress. Madam will definitely be more careful than me in matters like tidying up clothes."

After Uncle Mo finished tidying up, he took a few steps back and looked the prince up and down.

"Your Majesty is so handsome today!"

"puff--!"

Chu Yao couldn't help laughing when he heard this. Yun Wei and Yun You, who were standing by, were also stunned when they heard Uncle Mo say this.

Xiao Zuochen also smiled helplessly. This Uncle Mo, maybe because he has been with Chu Yao for a long time, he has also learned his glib tongue.

Several people packed up and set off. In addition to Chu Yao, Liuli, and Yun Wei also went with them.

As for Yixing, although he could sit in the carriage, he was only going to attend a birthday party and didn't need his protection. Yunyou also didn't need to go.

The Princess's Mansion was quite far from Prince Yun's Mansion. After the carriage rocked for nearly half an hour, it finally arrived at the Princess's Mansion.

At this time, a long carriage team had lined up in front of the Princess's mansion. This was also one of the etiquettes for visiting the mansion - registering gifts. However, few people went there to see Princess Jiashan. They just wanted to show off in front of the Princess. Some ladies took the opportunity to choose a daughter-in-law for their sons.

"No, is it so exaggerated?"

Chu Yao saw the vehicles in front of him and even wanted to turn around and go home. Liuli had only seen the morning and evening rush hours in modern times, but she didn't expect that there would be traffic jams in ancient times.

"It looks like we're early."

Xiao Zuochen said this calmly. Liuli listened to his speech and secretly sighed, he is indeed a royal relative, the only way to avoid the morning rush hour is to arrive late.

Just when a few people had just put their heads back and were worried about having to queue up here, a servant from the Princess's Mansion suddenly came over.

"Your Highness Prince Yun?"

"Ah."

As soon as he met an outsider, Xiao Zuochen's tone instantly became cold again.

When the servant saw that it was indeed His Royal Highness Prince Yun in the car, he hurriedly bowed.

"The princess has instructed that if His Royal Highness Prince Yun comes, there is no need to queue. Please come with me, Your Highness."

The servant led the carriage of Prince Yun's Mansion from the other side of the road straight to the gate. Along the way, the owners of the carriages lined up looked over.

Liuli felt a little guilty. Isn't this just blatantly cutting in line?

"Isn't this not good?"

But others don't think so.

"What's the big deal? Your Highness Prince Yun is a noble man. You can't just stand in line under the scorching sun~"

Chu Yao looked very proud and even wanted to stand on the carriage so that everyone would look at him.

Liuli looked at him and smiled bitterly, thinking that this was all he could do.

But there was indeed some discussion around here. However...

"Look, that's the carriage of His Royal Highness Prince Yun."

"Wow, His Majesty the Cloud King's carriage is so beautiful~"

"I haven't seen His Royal Highness Prince Yun for a long time. I guess he has become more handsome again~"

After they entered the mansion, the servants led them straight to the main courtyard of the eldest princess. Passing by the front hall, a small number of male guests were already sitting there, while the female guests were arranged in the inner courtyard.

Liuli dressed up as a man, so naturally she would sit with a group of men in a while.

Xiao Zuochen turned his head and looked at her.

"Would you please go sit over there for a while?"

Liuli nodded, indicating that she didn't care. Modern people don't have so many taboos between men and women.

Seeing that Liuli was fine, Xiao Zuochen turned back. Chu Yao was left looking left and right, not understanding what they were talking about.

The four of them came to the Princess's courtyard. Prince Qing had already arrived and was talking to the Princess. When they saw Xiao Zuochen and the others, they looked over.

"Zuochen! Come quickly and sit next to your aunt!"

The eldest princess was very happy to see Xiao Zuochen. He was her brother’s favorite son and the person most likely to inherit the throne in the future!

The princess ordered someone to bring a chair and put it next to her. Xiao Zuochen was speechless. This princess always did this. Prince Qing was still sitting on the side. Letting him sit directly next to the princess, isn't this trying to sow discord between the brothers?

"It's okay, nephew, it's fine to sit here."

Xiao Zuochen sat down directly next to Prince Qing. The eldest princess still looked at him with a smile, without any dissatisfaction on her face, but she was very angry in her heart.

I have been so kind to him, but he dared to turn a blind eye! How many people want to curry favor with me? If my brother didn't like this son, she wouldn't have to try to please him so much.

After Xiao Zuochen sat down, Chu Yao and Liuli sat side by side. Xiao Zuochen briefly introduced their identities to the princess. Liuli's identity was the staff of Prince Qing, and Chu Yao was his sparring partner.

The princess frowned when she heard about these identities. Why did Prince Yun always bring people of all identities to his house? Looking at the appearance of those two people, they didn't seem to have any real knowledge, but with such looks, one was vigorous and handsome, and the other was a handsome scholar. Maybe these identities were fake, just to cover up something.

Seeing that the eldest princess' eyes were wandering between the two of them, Xiao Zuochen quickly changed the subject.

"Where's Xiao Ling'er?"

Xiao Zuochen asked.

Princess Jiashan’s maiden name is Chen Ling, but she has loved following Xiao Zuochen since she was a child, and Xiao Zuochen has always called her Xiao Ling’er.

When the princess heard Xiao Zuochen mention her daughter, she felt a little better. After all, Chen Ling was always talking about wanting to meet her cousin Chen.

"She's playing with other girls in the inner courtyard. But once she knows you're here, she'll come back here right away."

"cousin!"

As soon as the princess finished speaking, a delicate female voice came from outside the door. It was Chen Ling.
