Chapter 152: A Gathering of Nobles

After a pleasant chat, everyone went their separate ways.

As a result, after walking for a while, Yuan Huixian met the Wang sisters and Zhang Xianlin. Seven or eight girls were talking there.

"Huixian is here. But I haven't seen her for a few months." Zhang Xianlin said.

After they had greeted each other, Yuan Huixian quietly asked Zhang Xianlin, "I heard about your story. Is it true?"

Zhang Xianlin blushed slightly, "How should I know about the affairs of the adults at home?"

After the last visit to Dajue Temple, Zhang Xianlin went back and told Madam Hou and his parents that he did not want to get involved in Liang You’s affairs.

She finally understood that Liang You had feelings for Mo Yi.

Later, even if Mo Yi was granted marriage, she didn't want her fiancé to have someone else in his heart, and she didn't particularly like him!

Her parents then found another marriage partner for her and the negotiations were almost concluded.

Yuan Huixian teased her with a smile.

Wang Xiaowei asked curiously: "What are you two talking about?"

But the two girls didn't intend to tell her.

Yuan Huixian changed the subject: "Hey, guess who I saw just now? The Mo family girls! The three sisters are here too! They're right over there..."

Wang Xiaowei's expression changed immediately.

Why did they get here?!

Oh no, if that coquettish bitch Mo Yuan starts making a scene here, I’ll be embarrassed.

"Really?" She forced a smile. "Where is it?"

Yuan Huixian is a simple person, how could she have known that Wang Xiaowei would become her enemy because of chess?

Pointing in the direction of the three girls from the Mo family, "Over there... Xianlin, let's go talk to them later!"

Zhang Xianlin was an open-minded person, so he naturally wouldn't have any problem with the Mo family girl. "Okay!"

How could Wang Xiaowei agree to that? She was very tough, so she said with a gloomy face: "I won't go, and you guys don't mention me in front of them! Even though that person has climbed up the social ladder, I really don't take him seriously!" After that, she turned around and left.

Wang Xiaoyang quickly chased after him...

The Mo family girl was having her first major social interaction in her life. She talked and stopped, and didn't go far for a long time.

Suddenly, there was a slight commotion.

People on the road moved to the sides. Hongyan appeared behind them and whispered, "Girls, move to the side..."

"Miss Mo Wen, Madam Xu already knows you're here. She's inside now and said she'll ask Madam Xu to invite you over after the birthday celebration."

"Thank you, Sister Hongyan." Mo Wen really knew whether Madam Xu mentioned Xu Ke, but he was too embarrassed to speak.

Seeing everyone standing respectfully on the roadside, it must be that an important person has arrived, right?

The Mo family girl also followed everyone's example.

Two palace maids came first, one on the left and one on the right, clearing the way, followed by two eunuchs holding umbrellas. In the middle was a woman in red.

In his twenties.

Before I could see her clearly, I could only feel that her red dress with gold thread sparkled in the sun with every move she made.

A head full of pigeon blood ruby ​​hairpins.

Flying eyebrows, drooping eyes. She is very beautiful...

He looked down on everyone, was arrogant, and walked past everyone step by step with an expressionless face and his chin slightly raised.

The fragrance all around can be smelled by people nearby.

There were several palace maids following behind, each holding something in their hands.

Further behind were a few young women, all smiling, without even looking at others, and following in with brisk steps.

Only after they disappeared did Hongyan whisper, "The one who just passed by was Princess Yu'an."

Mo Yi has already recognized her. She is the one I met in the palace last time. Thinking back, she once directly took my hand and asked me to sit next to her. We were so close that I could even feel her breath when she spoke.

At this moment, they are so aloof... I really don't understand these people.

"Princess... no wonder you are so imposing! Tsk tsk..." Mo Yuan whispered in her ear with great envy.

"Hey, there seems to be someone coming from behind!"

This time, the people who came were men, a group of several dozen people, and the leader was wearing a bright yellow brocade robe.

Wearing a golden crown.

He is of medium build, with a face as white as jade, eyes like bright stars, a straight nose and a square mouth. He is surprisingly handsome.

Dressed like this: Is he the prince?!

There was some commotion at the scene.

The prince walked leisurely with a smile on his face. He was graceful and elegant.

The corners of his clothes swayed slightly, giving him a sense of romance.

His eyes were also very gentle. He looked at the people on both sides and even nodded slightly.

Everyone felt that he was looking at them and smiling at them... countless people were immediately fascinated by him.

They let out soft sighs, and some were so excited that their eyes filled with tears!

This time, the noises around became louder.

Mo Yuan held Mo Yi with one hand and Mo Wen with the other, tightly grasping them, eyes full of excitement: This is the prince! The future ruler of the world.

He is so handsome, look at the way he walks... Oh, he is smiling at me!

Oh my god, I'm going to faint...

The prince was not annoyed by the commotion at the scene, but his smile deepened.

The people following him also looked well-born. Some stuck their necks out proudly, while others didn't take the people present seriously, talking to themselves as they went inside.

Mo Yi also pinched Mo Yuan back hard, thinking in his heart: What are you doing, wake up, you crazy girl!

"The one wearing bright yellow is the Crown Prince. He is followed by several princes." Hongyan waited until he disappeared before whispering.

Even though she was strangled, Mo Yuan did not wake up from her excitement and obsession.

As a result, another group of women came, and the one at the front was also dressed in bright yellow.

She has a smooth forehead, black hair, a phoenix hairpin, fair skin, clear eyes, and a noble and calm demeanor.

"Is this the Crown Princess?"

There were also many people around him. Some were older, some were younger, all looked like noble ladies, and some were even very beautiful.

After they passed, "The one leading the way is the Crown Princess," Hongyan said.

Mo Yi nodded. The Crown Princess really had a good temperament.

I guess it was someone like Zhao Mama who taught him since he was young. This is something that is engraved in his bones, a complete skill of a boy.

It’s completely different from what we learned later!

Then, several more waves of people came by. There were men and women, and Hongyan knew them all. She picked out the ones that everyone was curious about and introduced them.

When he is happy, he can't stop talking.

Then, the Mohist girls found out that the lady who just passed by was a girl from a certain family, a daughter-in-law from a certain family. Who was her cousin, who was her cousin, who did her aunt marry into… who did her brother marry, and they heard that her niece was negotiating a marriage with the lady who just passed by… who was that lady…

Oh my god, it’s never over!

No matter how many twists and turns there are, in the end, it seems like everyone is a relative...

Mo Wen and Mo Yi looked at each other. At this moment, they truly realized how accidental their marriage was!

At this time, another man came, very young and handsome, tall and slender, holding a folding fan, he came and went freely and at will.

Hongyan explained, "This is Prince Yong'an. He looks young, but he is actually over 30. He is the elder brother of our emperor and the only son of His Royal Highness Prince Cheng. The prince died young. The emperor dotes on him very much and uses him very much. I heard that he is very smart. Every gift he sends to the palace is the most outstanding. I wonder what birthday gift he will give to the Empress Dowager this time."

Wow, this person is also very good... "Does he have a queen?" Mo Yuan asked.

"There is a princess. But there have been no two before. I heard that the current one is not in good health and has not been out for many years... I haven't seen her very often."

Mo Yi looked at Mo Yuan, who was looking at him with flickering eyes, and pinched her hard: What are you thinking about?

Mo Yuan reacted and grinned evilly.

At this time, Li Jing came...

He was still wearing black clothes and a silver crown, black boots on his feet, and a jade belt around his waist, with no expression on his face.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi... Everyone just said this silently in their hearts. They all felt that this guy was nothing to see and was too cold.

He was surrounded by Li Chang, several young men from aristocratic families, and two cousins ​​from the Zhao family.

Li Jing also saw Mo Yi and the others and nodded at them. He did not stop and walked forward.

"Is this His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi?" It was the first time Mo Wen saw him.

"Yes!" Mo Yuan answered for Mo Yi. She didn't like this!

Several more waves of people came in, and finally the time came. Bells and drums sounded, and a eunuch shouted loudly in the front.

"The Queen Mother's birthday ceremony begins."

Everyone knelt on the red carpet, facing the main hall...
