Therefore, the differences are more obvious when there is comparison.
Compared with Baili Yeheng's gentleness and indulgence, Baili Yexuan watched with cold eyes. What's more, the disgust in his eyes was so clear, like the seaweed on the bottom of the sea, tightly entangled with Huai Fanghua's resentful heart, and she looked at him with jealousy.
Looking at the man as beautiful as jade standing next to Huai Moran, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Why did he compete with Huai Moran for Baili Yexuan that day? Wouldn't it be better if he could marry Baili Yeheng?
Little did she know that no matter who a woman like her married, the outcome would be the same.
Under Huai Moran's condescending and cold eyes, Huai Fanghua slowly stood up unwillingly, then she felt slightly blessed and said reluctantly: "I have met the madam and the eldest prince."
Huai Moran raised his eyebrows proudly, a flash of ridicule flashed in his eyes, showing a smile like a villain's triumph, and lazily said: "That's right, be good, sit down."
It's okay not to say it, but when she said this, Huai Fanghua became even more angry. She sat down angrily, and seeing the proud look on Huai Moran's face, she couldn't help but grit her silver teeth and said: "Humph, my sister should too
I’m so happy, maybe today will be the last time!”
Huai Moran raised her beautiful eyebrows again, with a touch of sarcasm on her forehead. She blinked her phoenix eyes as dark as paint, and said innocently: "The last time? Haha~ That's true. After tonight, I'm afraid you won't even be the only one."
I can’t even keep my position as concubine.”
Huai Fanghua roared: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
At this time, people had already walked in one after another. Huai Moran glanced at the daughters of various families who walked in slowly behind him, and smiled very beautifully. She looked at the same sharp eyes at this time: "You
Don’t you think what I’m wearing is too plain? Look, there are so many girls who haven’t left the palace, all of them are so beautiful and charming, as pretty as peonies. Not to mention men, even I’m confused when I look at them.
I’m going to be dazzled.”
At this point, Huai Moran paused, and then turned his gaze to Baili Yexuan, who was staring at her. He raised his eyebrows and continued to laugh mockingly: "I heard that the emperor intentionally asked these women to come tonight, no?
Do you know if you are planning to choose a well-educated and well-behaved concubine for the third prince?"
The wine that Baili Yexuan hadn't swallowed suddenly got stuck in his throat. He couldn't help coughing lowly, while Huai Fanghua looked at the group of warblers that came in, and finally there was a trace of emotion in his eyes.
A hint of worry. Because she knew that Huai Moran was not telling lies.
Huai Fanghua is such a smart woman. She has always known that everything she thinks about is just what she hopes for, but it cannot be realized. However, it was not until Huai Moran said these words that she had to
Admit it, how ridiculous and humble you are.
Huai Moran looked at Huai Fanghua who was so angry that he wished he could turn into a lion and devour these pretty women one by one. He was in a good mood and took Baili Yeheng's hand and came to the table opposite Baili Yexuan.
Sit down in front.
After Baili Yeheng sat down, he lovingly pushed the fine hair behind her ears, breathed out hot breath into her ear, and said with a faint smile: "Madam, you are so cute."
Huai Moran clearly felt Baili Yexuan's body stiffen across from her. The next moment, she raised her hand without hesitation and put her arms around Baili Yeheng's neck, and said with a smile: "Do you think my husband thinks I'm vicious?"
Baili Yeheng gently squeezed her waist, and a flash of impulse flashed in his shining eyes. However, he quickly covered up the impulse and said softly: "Okay, stop being naughty.
.”
Huai Moran raised his eyebrows and ignored the surprised and uncertain glances around him. He let go of his hands with a coquettish smile and looked at the shrunken Baili Ye Heng with a proud look on his face. "It turns out that my husband is also shy~" At this time,
Her charming eyes flew up, and the water waves were full of playful light. Even though Baili Yeheng had seen it thousands of times, he still lost his mind because of its beauty.
If it weren't for the fact that he was in the main hall at this time, Baili Yeheng would have carried Huai Moran on his shoulders at all costs and found a deserted place to eat her up and wipe her clean.
The two of them were already eye-catching enough, and coupled with Huai Mo Ran's behavior, which in this era was considered 'bold and unrestrained', everyone's eyes immediately fell on them.
The wine glass in Baili Yexuan's hand had been dented by him at some point, which showed how much struggle and pain he was feeling in his heart.
The women sitting behind the curtain all turned their attention to these two handsome princes. Although they knew that Baili Yexuan was the protagonist tonight, and knew that only by following him could they enjoy all the glory and wealth, but
Baili Yeheng is so graceful and elegant that it is hard not to be tempted.
Some people even think that if you are really not lucky enough to be Baili Yexuan's beloved concubine, it would be good to be Baili Yeheng's. However, after all, such simple people are in the minority, and most women are born with the education that
He regards himself as the pillar of the entire family, dreaming of being able to fly on a branch and then become the support of his family.
So these people would raise the curtain from time to time, pretending to be shy and fly countless flirtatious glances at Baili Yexuan - in fact, in ancient times, a girl who had not left the court could never choose to sit behind the curtain.
They should do this because it would make others think they have no rules.
However, although they could not find out about Huai Moran's preferences, they knew that she had always been informal and carefree like a man, and yet she made a stunning person like Baili Yeheng dote on her so much. Therefore, they wanted to imitate her, so that they could
Seeking Baili Yexuan's attention.
It's a pity that the beautiful lady is interested, but the young man is ruthless. Although Baili Yexuan knew that Baili Zhancheng was planning to choose a concubine for him, he had no intention of seeing which girl from the family was more delicate, but kept looking at her with a vague look.
He turned to Huai Moran, and every time he saw Huai Moran and Baili Ye Heng quarreling with each other, picking up food from each other, his eyes would be filled with depth and pain.
However, although Baili Yexuan could not see these women working hard to seduce, Huai Fanghua beside him watched carefully. At this time, Huai Fanghua was not to mention how angry she was. She thought of Baili Zhancheng saying to her
Those words, and then look at these foxy people, although they are angry in their hearts, they dare not speak out.
Because she knew that she had no capital to ask for anything, and she also knew that one day, Baili Yexuan would marry someone else and would never look at her again. Thinking of this, the anger in Huai Fanghua's heart became less, but
A little more sad.
After everyone had arrived, Baili Zhancheng slowly walked into the hall amidst the sharp voice of Eunuch Liu. Amid everyone's bows, he slowly sat down on the dragon chair. Perhaps it was because Baili
When Ye Xuan returned, he looked much gentler tonight than in the past. He glanced at everyone, his eyes especially lingering on Huai Moran and Huai Moran for a while. Fang smiled and asked everyone to stand down and take their seats.
After everyone shouted "Thank you, Lord, for your kindness", they all took their seats. After a while, the maids filed in and presented all the prepared hot dishes. The jade plate of delicacies looked particularly attractive under the illumination of the glazed lights.
As usual, Baili Zhancheng first said some polite words, nothing more than praising how prosperous the country of Great China was, how the northern and southern territories did not know their own capabilities, and praising Baili Yexuan for being brave and resourceful. Then he talked with
Everyone raised their glasses and drank.
Next, the banquet officially began. The process of the banquet was exactly as Huai Moran had imagined. First, there was a discussion of merit and rewards. The deputy generals and commanders who had returned from northern Xinjiang were all promoted and their salaries increased, and Baili Yexuan finally got his wish.
Being named the 'Prince', Baili Yeheng was probably really happy tonight, and ended up drinking several glasses of wine in a row.
Some ministers were also very happy, and there was a lot of joy and laughter among them.
However, despite the music of silk and bamboo orchestras and the graceful posture of the dancers, such a banquet was a bit boring after all, so some concubines "accidentally" asked whether talented girls from various families should be allowed to assist the emperor and the prince.
To add to the fun? I heard that the daughter of the prime minister's family is good at painting, and the daughter of the imperial censor's family is also good at painting. In this case, why bother to compare?
After Baili Zhan "thought it over", he agreed with a smile and advocated that all women can participate in the competition. Only then did the climax of the banquet really come.
Although Huai Fanghua felt pathetic, she was not willing to just obey the emperor's wishes and let these women shine. What's more, Huai Moran was still looking at her jokes? In addition, she has always been known as the most talented woman.
She was proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, so she deliberately praised Huai Moran, saying that there was nothing in the sky or on the earth, and then she shyly asked if she could compete with her sister?
The girls were originally arrogant and thought that they must be the best in the world at that skill they were good at. In addition, this was a good opportunity to show off in front of the emperor and the third prince, oh no, the prince, so they all took advantage of it.
Ready to show off my talents.
But they didn't expect that Huai Fanghua would hold Huai Moran in such high esteem, making her seem as if there was nothing in the sky or on earth. Although Huai Moran's temperament was outstanding and she was awarded many awards by the emperor, the one that impressed them the most was...
It wasn't her glorious deeds of breaking into the enemy's camp alone and helping Baili Yeheng win the southern Xinjiang victory, but the rumors that she had been illiterate since she was a child, was pedantic and cowardly, and had even been tainted by others in the Prime Minister's Palace.
These are the daughters of everyone who have been raised in a boudoir and have always been praised high. They will never admit that they are inferior to others, and they will never remember that person's greatness, but they only think about the criticisms of others.
, so that you can elevate your own status by putting others down.
Therefore, everyone immediately followed Huai Fanghua and launched a challenge to Huai Moran. Although this was contrary to Baili Zhancheng's plan, he was naturally happy to see someone who could humiliate Huai Moran.
It's a pity that everyone miscalculated. From the beginning to the end, Huai Moran's face was calm and gentle, and her smile was as beautiful as the moonlight, which made people dizzy. She slowly picked up the exquisite luminous cup, lazily
He drank the wine in one gulp, raised his eyebrows, and said with a mocking but nonchalant face, "Come on."
So arrogant and so confident.
Seeing her being so flamboyant, all the women couldn't help but frown, and they all secretly made up their minds to make her look embarrassed. It's a pity that their talent, piano skills, and even dancing skills are not as good as Mo Ran's.
In front of me, it's like a pile of dog shit that can't even emit a bad smell.
As a result, the originally joyful banquet suddenly turned into a Shura venue for Huai Moran. Faced with the provocations of these women who did not know their own abilities, she responded mercilessly one by one, leaving these women who originally thought they were pure and talented.
One by one, the women ended up in a miserable state of disgrace.
After going back and forth like this, no one dared to say another word. Those ministers had already known Huai Moran's methods very well, so they did not dare to say anything. In embarrassment, Baili Zhancheng had no choice but to ask the dancing girl and singer to perform.
