The eyes of the person in front of him were as bright as stars, but they seemed to have the power to directly touch people's hearts.
Hua Ling averted her eyes, not daring to... look directly. Her current status depends on her engagement with Baili Yunsheng.
But... it was just a joke. Every time I think about it, I can't sleep. Only...
"Don't worry." Hua Ling smiled sweetly and said kindly: "I still want to spend my whole life in Xichuan, so as not to cause trouble for myself."
"Let's go." Hua Ling smiled: "We are just spectators today."
It has been many years since the founding of Western Chu, but the old customs of the Xianbei people have not been completely changed. The nature of most of the subjects of Western Chu is still as free and uninhibited as their ancestors, and this is especially obvious among the royal nobles.
Men and women were allowed to sit together in the harem of Western Chu, a scene that would never be seen in other countries.
Hua Ling and Lin Chu entered the Ganquan Palace one after the other. Everyone in the Jiaofang Palace suddenly fell silent and all looked at them.
Inquiry, contempt, disdain, mixed eyes, but no appreciation.
Hua Ling raised her hands to straighten her hair and straightened her chest and back. She never cared about being the center of attention. She would be mediocre if she was not envied by others!
"That man is Lin Chu from the National Defense Army?"
"No, I heard that the Flying Shark Castle on Fenghe was destroyed by her leadership."
"A wild boy from the countryside actually has this ability?"
"Mrs. Li is talking about Lin Chu. I wonder which young lady in your house are you planning to make a deal with?"
"A man who can kill water bandits may not be easy to swallow. Mrs. Li should take it easy."
"Hahaha."
"Cough!" Hua Ling raised her hand to cover her lips and coughed hard.
However, her voice was too soft and fell into the roar of laughter, so no one cared.
Hua Ling turned to look at Lin Chu: "I'm really sorry, you have seen it, they have never taken me seriously."
Although there was a smile on her lips and teeth, the smile did not reach her eyes. After all, she was the princess of Southern Xinjiang and the legitimate wife of Bailiyuan's legitimate son. How could these women not take her seriously?
hateful!
"Young Master Baili Chang has arrived!"
As soon as the eunuch sang the promise, the Jiaofang Palace, which was noisy just now, fell silent for an instant. Everyone stood up and looked toward the entrance of the palace.
Lin Chu's eyebrows moved. Baili Changgongzi? Baili Qingyan?! This person is... not common.
"Gulu gulu."
There were wheels slowly rolling across the road, and Lin Chu frowned slightly. Driving was not allowed in the harem, but Baili Qingyan actually drove up to the palace?
If this is true, the Baili family's honor and favor will be unparalleled!
However, it prospered and then declined. Such a style of conduct would never bring honor to the Baili family, but only disaster.
How could Bailiyuan allow such a thing to happen?
The figures outside the hall gradually became clearer, one sitting and two standing, one woman and two men.
At first, there was a man sitting upright in a wheelchair. His face was ordinary and there was nothing outstanding about it, and his face was pale and bloodless. Such a person would be ignored by people no matter where they saw him.
This...is Baili Qingyan, the eldest son of the Baili family who is being guarded deep inside the house?
It's just... quite intriguing.
"That is the eldest brother Baili Qingyan." Hua Ling whispered: "It is said that he was frail and sick and unable to walk when he was born, so he was not loved by the Grand Sima since he was a child. He hid in the back house every day and did not see others often.
His coming today has a profound meaning."
Lin Chu's eyes narrowed. Baili Qingyan's appearance and temperament were far different from those of the Baili family, so it was no wonder that he was not favored by Baili Yuan.
The appearance of Baili Qingyan instantly diverted everyone's attention from Lin Chu. However, he always had the right smile on his lips and teeth, neither humble nor overbearing, to welcome the probing gazes from all directions.
Beside him were a man and a woman who were much more outstanding. The man was a simpleton from the Baili family, San Baili Rusong. The woman Lin Chu saw for the first time was a young girl who had not even grown hair and was as cute and cute as a blooming flower.
Ever since she entered the palace, the man's apricot eyes lingered on her face. It was... boring!
"Lin Chu!"
Lin Chu was thinking to himself when he was suddenly awakened by a soft drink in his ear.
