The bad ending of the book rushes to catch up with the plot, and the crazy criticism of awakening ta

At the banquet, all the noble ladies sat upright.

For fear of being noticed by the prince, the noble lady, who was dressed a little more formally, has not raised her head since the prince arrived.

Chaoyan remembered that her seat was in the middle right of the banquet table. She slowly walked towards that seat, but was taken by a considerate maid to sit in the first seat on the left, together with Qi Binwei.

The first person on the right was originally the third prince Qi Rui, but now he has been replaced by the crown prince.

After Chao Yan took her seat, the prince's eyes seemed to be fixed on her and never left her.

Chaoyan really didn't like this feeling. She also knew that she shouldn't speak loudly or talk nonsense in such occasions.

She took a sip of the wine, slowly moved closer to Qi Binwei's ear, and uttered a few breaths from her throat, "Your elder brother, um... the prince always stares at me, which makes me very uncomfortable."

Chao Yan's breath sprayed all around his ears, slowly drifting over with a faint aroma of wine. Qi Binwei's whole body tensed up, and his heart skipped a beat.

He raised his eyes and glanced at the prince who was grinning at Chao Yan with his teeth bared. Then, after turning his head, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth where the prince could not see.

Seeing that he had something to say, Chao Yan leaned slightly towards him.

Qi Binwei said softly, "You are very beautiful today. The prince is just attracted to you. But we don't need to pay attention to him. You should stay away from him in the future. The farther the better."

Chao Yan drew back her body and sat up straight, she nodded.

Since then, she never even glanced at the prince. She looked at the roof, then lowered her head to look at her fingers, and occasionally glanced in the direction of Shen Jiayu.

Shen Jiayu had no idea that Chao Yan had looked at her several times. Her mind was in a mess since Wen Xiangzhu came in.

At this time, Wen Xiangzhu had already taken his seat with the Third Prince. It was obvious that he had come with the Third Prince, and he was even able to sit next to the Third Prince.

Anyone who can sit down with the guests must be the Third Prince's capable man.

After coming to Kyoto for a few days, she sneaked into the Prime Minister's Mansion and became Song Qinghong's personal maid, while Wen Xiangzhu suddenly became the guest of honor of the Third Prince.

Shen Jiayu: How was this done?

She rolled her eyes and thought it was normal. After all, Wen Xiangzhu was a man who relied on his own strategies to climb to the top step by step.

But in her memory, although Wen Xiangzhu was a madman, and turned evil and ruthless in the later period, when he was a little madman in the early period, he always stood on the side of the Fifth Prince. When did he hook up with the Third Prince?

Shen Jiayu was very puzzled, so since San San came today, it would be okay to ask her. So she shouted "San San" tens of thousands of times in her heart.

As expected, San San still ignored her.

Shen Jiayu accepted his fate and decided to just do it. He would write his own book and leave the unfinished details alone for now.

After Wen Xiangzhu glanced at her when he entered the room, he never gave her any look again.

Shen Jiayu was depressed. She didn't know what Wen Xiangzhu was up to. She looked for several opportunities to look over, but Wen Xiangzhu didn't even turn around to look at her. After several rounds, she was tired and looked away, doing her duty as a maid.

Throughout the banquet, Chao Yan and Qi Binwei were the focus of everyone's attention.

Concubine De has made it clear that Chao Yan is Qi Binwei's imperial concubine, and some women with ordinary family backgrounds are very envious.

After all, they are all pawns of the family. Instead of not knowing when they will be sent out by the family, it is better for them to try their best and marry a powerful man they like.

Now seeing that Chaoyan, who has no power at all, has risen to become Qi Binwei's imperial concubine because of Qi Binwei's favor, they feel that they also have a chance, but they are not as lucky as Chaoyan.

"Fifth brother, how come I have never heard you mention such a royal concubine? Could it be that Fifth Brother likes this woman and is worried that she will be snatched away, so... hiccup~"

The prince took several sips of wine. Strong liquor can easily make people drunk, and he spoke without thinking. In the end, he didn't say anything because he burped.

He usually thinks highly of himself. He treats the Fourth Prince, who is his half-brother, a little better, but he never takes the other princes seriously.

What's more, she was born from a palace maid.

Although everyone disliked the prince, they were very interested in the questions he raised. Drinking at this banquet was really boring.

Qi Binwei felt the gazes coming from all directions. He had already thought of what to say, and his voice was firm and powerful. "She is quite shy, not very familiar with many things in Kyoto, and has not yet learned the rules of the royal family, so she did not mention it to the public."

shy?

Forgive them, I really didn't see that Chao Yan was shy, she just looked ignorant and clear-headed.

But this does not stop them from gossiping and watching the show.

"Really? When did you meet? Why didn't you tell me about this beauty first?"

The prince took a few more sips and vaguely saw Chao Yan smiling at him. He also started to smile and began to talk without thinking.

The third prince raised his eyebrows and glanced at Qi Binwei with a gloating smile on his face.

Qi Binwei was not annoyed. He continued speaking slowly, as if he did not understand the second half of the prince's words.

“I dare not hide it from you, Your Highness. I met Chao Yan when I was out for fun in Nanzhou County half a year ago. Chao Yan was cheated out of her money by someone and became homeless. I felt sorry for her and gave her some money. Unexpectedly, Chao Yan had an extremely kind heart. She shared some of the money I gave to the beggars, hoping that they would have something to eat.

I saw that she was a lonely woman, and she looked very pitiful, so I asked her if she would like to follow me, and she agreed. Later, we gradually became familiar with each other as we spent time together. I never thought that we would have such a fate, and we both loved each other. "

Everything he said was true, and everything about the encounter was true. It was just an intentional encounter, not a coincidence.

"Haha, you like each other, good! Good!" After listening to Qi Binwei's words, the prince was not interested in the first half.

He was a little unconvinced, so he turned to look at Chao Yan who had not spoken a word, and asked, "Is what he said true? If you don't like it, or if the person you like has changed, I have plenty of ways to make you leave, Chao Yan, right? Why don't you come to me? I will guarantee you a life of wealth and glory, and I will never let you be like other women, okay?"

Hearing this, Concubine De almost couldn't sit still. She really thought that the prince was crazy, and spoke out to stop this ridiculous farce.

"The prince is drunk, someone, take him away!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant came up and supported the prince to go down, but the prince refused.

How could he go down when he hadn't received a reply from Chao Yan yet?

"How dare you not answer this prince!"

Chao Yan's expression darkened rarely, and he uttered two words coldly.

"not good."
