Listening to several important ministers agreeing with his topic, Emperor Xia expressed his satisfaction, and finally made the final decision, "I and Xue'er are very attached to each other, so I decided to recognize Xue'er as my adopted daughter and make her the Snow Princess of my Xia Kingdom.
.What do you ministers think?"
this--
This, in fact, is really nothing. After all, princesses and princes are different and will not compete for the throne. One more princess will not affect the overall situation. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the emperor's questions are just a few polite words and do not really seek their opinions.
And letting them come to the palace banquet was just to hint at one thing, that is, the emperor now dotes on this princess, whether it is an adopted daughter or a princess who has been left behind by the people, anyway, the emperor likes her.
Many of the important ministers present were smart people, and they all agreed after a while: "Your Majesty is wise, this is a good deed."
"Yes, the emperor's benevolence is a blessing to us, the people of Xia Kingdom..."
…
After a while of agreement, it was confirmed that Lan Xue would become the Snow Princess.
Lan Xue was a little dissatisfied with this, but naturally she would not let Emperor Xia be embarrassed in front of his ministers, so she just smiled lightly and thanked him.
The queens and concubines around Emperor Xia were different, each with their own expressions.
Women's hearts are sensitive. The good-natured emperor created a princess. Doesn't this clearly tell them that this woman was born to a certain lover of the emperor outside the palace?
They had smiles on their faces, but they were suspicious in their hearts.
Fortunately, she is just a princess, not a prince.
Feng Tianmei looked at the faces of those women, and felt that the queen and a noble concubine were the most hypocritical. The others all showed dissatisfaction to a greater or lesser degree, and even if they concealed it well, they could still see it.
However, the two of them still smiled and congratulated Emperor Xia. However, when no one was paying attention, they looked at Lan Xue with cold eyes.
A palace banquet seemed very lively, but the protagonists had different thoughts.
After the party was over, Lan Xue was taken to Yonghe Palace by the palace maid to stay. Everything had been tidied up here. Lan Xue waved the palace maid away and sent her to the outer courtyard. She sat on a chair and looked obviously unhappy.
Feng Tianmei was also a little worried. The Yonghe Palace was located in the East Palace, next to Prince Xia. She felt that Emperor Xia was too impatient. The more he pampered Lan Xue, the more jealous the women in the harem became. In the end, it turned out that
Not good.
"Xue'er——"
"I know, I underestimated the thoughts of Emperor Xia and the others." She thought that Emperor Xia was in a compensatory mood and would not go against her wishes. At least he would follow her in the early stages of their meeting.
Feng Tianmei sighed: "Xue'er, today is not what it used to be. Ordinary people are powerful, especially the royal family. I believe Emperor Xia also knows that you want to enter Rutian Palace to practice. He will leave such an outstanding daughter like you alone.
He would definitely not feel at ease giving it to others. Naturally, he wants to keep it by his side, and at least he cannot help outsiders."
Haha, yes.
Otherwise, why didn't I receive his important protection, but only after she showed her talent, did I think of recognizing her?
well!
Don’t blame others, this is the way the world is!
"Xue'er, I think there's something wrong with that queen and that one and the concubine. We can start investigating them first!"
"Okay. It's best to do some research at night. Let's take action at night. Let's enjoy and relax during the day!"
Feng Tianmei nodded, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Yan Wushuang looked at the bad situation in the palace from the side. After he put on women's clothes, he turned out to be such a beauty that it was hard to distinguish between male and female!
The princess is much more eye-catching than Lan Xue. Lan Xue looked at him: "Wushuang, your beauty is so eye-catching, why don't you make it look ugly?"
"Princess, this is not good. It doesn't matter if you disguise yourself, but at any time, Wushuang likes things with extraordinary charm, whether they are people or things."
faint!
After staying in Yonghe Palace for a long time, Yan Wushuang couldn't sit still: "Princess, I'll get you something to eat!"
"There is someone here, you don't need to-"
Wushuang blinked her beautiful eyes: "Princess, we know people but not their hearts. We must be careful. Moreover, I will help you find out a lot of information."
"Xue'er, let him go!"
"Then be careful and take Xiaoju with you!"
Xiaoju and Xiaomei are both Fengtianmei people with martial arts skills.
Yan Wushuang nodded and called Xiaoju to go to the kitchen to prepare food.
In less than half an hour, four or five side dishes were prepared, as well as a soup.
The three of them sat around a table and enjoyed their dinner.
Just when I was halfway through eating, I heard someone calling for the prince to come down.
A little palace maid hurriedly walked in, "Princess, the Crown Prince is here!"
Lan Xue frowned slightly: "What are you doing here, Your Highness?"
The little palace maid was dumbfounded. Didn't she come here to see if the princess's attitude was too cold?
"Haha, sister Xue'er doesn't seem to want me to come!" Accompanied by a hearty male voice, a man wearing a python robe walked in.
Lan Xue raised her eyes and looked over. She saw that the appearance of this man was very similar to that of Emperor Xia. He had a majestic appearance. He looked good on the outside, but he didn't know what was going on inside. "No way, it's just an accident."
"What's so surprising? My sister's mother saved my father back then, which means she has shown great kindness to our brothers. I heard that the general found you, and I'm really happy! No, from the outside
After finishing my errands, I will see you as soon as I return to the palace!"
Prince Xia walked in and frowned when he saw two other people dressed as servants sitting at the same table, "Sister Xue'er, these two people——"
"Oh, they are my good friends. They were afraid that I would be bullied when I entered the palace, so they turned into guards and maids to protect me. They will leave when I feel safe."
"That's it." The prince waved his hand and asked the maid to go out. Only Lan Xue, the three of them and the prince of Xia were left in the hall.
Feng Tianmei and Yan Wushuang stood up knowingly, and Yan Wushuang even pulled up a chair: "Your Highness, please sit down."
The prince looked at Lan Xue for a while and said with some melancholy: "Sister Xue'er, you and your mother look so alike!"
"Yeah?"
"Of course, I have seen your mother's portrait, which was painted by my father himself. At that time, my father told me that if you come to the palace, I must treat you very well, even better than my own sister!"
Lan Xue was silent. She didn't know what to say when the prince said this. Could it be that the prince knew what happened between Emperor Xia and his mother?
Feng Tianmei looked at the Crown Prince of Xia with cold eyes. She had long heard that the Crown Prince of Xia was a virtuous king, and now he looked really virtuous.
And he was somewhat taboo about this prince, because it was easy to find out other people's details, but it was difficult to find out about this person, and the information he got back was always both true and false, making it unpredictable.
No matter what his thoughts are, if he wants to hurt Xueer, then fight with him!
The prince felt Feng Tianmei's gaze, tilted his head and glanced slightly, his eyes looking past Feng Tianmei with amusement.
