Chapter 364 Crown Prince's Concubine

The girls sat in Fenghua Garden for a while and saw that it was almost time, so they got up and went to the central hall to watch Xu Muhua's coming-of-age ceremony.

Xu Muhua's coming-of-age ceremony looked more grand than Pei Shaorong's that day, and both the main guest and the sponsor were of high status. In the whole capital, is there any girl whose coming-of-age sponsor is the Crown Princess?

This alone is enough to make the girls of the same age in the capital envious and jealous!

The main guest is the eldest princess.

At first, the eldest princess wanted to refuse, after all, she and her husband had experienced such a bad thing, and she was afraid of bad luck.

But Xu's mother thought exactly the opposite.

Although the eldest princess and her husband had experienced bad things, now they have finally gotten their wish, and this is the most important thing!

She also hopes that no matter what kind of setbacks and hardships her daughter encounters in the future, she will eventually be like the eldest princess and have her cake and eat it too.

Xu Muhua had watched Pei Shaorong's coming-of-age ceremony before, and she felt exhausted at the time. Now that she is the protagonist, it goes without saying. She

has to keep bowing, listen, and keep an expression on her face.

After all this, she felt her face was stiff!

"Arong, Muhua's coming-of-age ceremony looks more lively than yours! I didn't expect so many guests to come!"

Sun Xuehe suddenly said.

Lu Yingzhu, who was standing aside, couldn't help but glance at Sun Xuehe with a strange look in her eyes.

Pei Shaorong didn't seem to notice, but nodded, "Yeah, Mu Hua's coming-of-age ceremony is much more lively than mine!"

Sun Xuehe's expression froze for a moment, she turned her gaze, "Look, even Princess Kang and Princess Qingning are here! Isn't it said that Princess Qingning and Mu Hua have a conflict?"

Pei Shaorong and Lu Yingzhu followed and saw Princess Kang and Princess Qingning.

Princess Kang was fine, but Princess Qingning's expression was not so good, as if she came to attend a funeral.

"Mu Hua is the adopted daughter of the eldest princess, and Princess Qingning has to come and do some superficial work even if she doesn't like her."

The invitation has been sent, and not coming would be a slap in the face of the eldest princess!

Princess Qingning suffered a loss at the hands of the eldest princess some time ago. If she had any brains, she would not add fuel to the fire at this time and burn herself.

Sun Xuehe's eyes revealed a hint of envy, "Yes, Mu Hua recognized the princess as her stepmother. With such a strong backer like the princess, she doesn't have to worry about anyone bullying her in the future."

I think her marriage will be carefully selected, not like her. She was betrothed by her father to an old man who could almost be her grandfather. She would not be introduced to some people of humble origin by her friends, and they said it was for her own good.

What's the difference between those people introduced by Arong and the old man her father wanted to betroth her to? They are just younger than that old man. Apart from that, the others are not as good as that old man!

If she was like Mu Hua, with the princess supporting her, would Arong still introduce such a man to her?

What she said was indeed true, but for some reason, everyone always felt it was weird.

Lu Yingzhu laughed twice, "We are not bad either, don't we also have Arong, the future

Crown Princess, as our backer?" If nothing unexpected happens, Arong will be the future Empress!

They are Arong's good friends, and if they are bullied, Arong will definitely stand up for them!

Hearing this, Sun Xuehe sneered uncontrollably, and was heard by Lu Yingzhu.

Her face suddenly sank, and she was about to ask her what she meant.

What is she being weird about!

Pei Shaorong quickly grabbed her, shook her head slightly, and nodded in the direction of Xu Muhua with her chin.

Although the coming-of-age ceremony has been completed, it is not a good thing to have any disputes at this time. It will make it difficult for Mu Hua.

Lu Yingzhu pursed her lips and endured it, turned her head away, and decided not to pay attention to Sun Xuehe.

It was really inexplicable!

She found that Xuehe was getting weirder and gloomy all day long, as if someone owed her millions of taels of gold. Sometimes she even spoke in a weird voice and made indirect accusations.

In fact, Sun Xuehe also regretted it.

She really didn't mean it just now, but she couldn't help it when she heard Yingzhu's words... She was worried that Pei Shaorong would make trouble in public and embarrass her, but she didn't expect that she held back and just pretended not to hear it.

Sun Xuehe breathed a sigh of relief and soon became righteous again.

Arong must have felt wronged and guilty, so he didn't dare to speak. Otherwise, she is the future Crown Princess. Even if they are good friends, Arong would definitely get angry if she acted like that just now.

But now she didn't! What does it prove? It proves that Arong knows in her heart that she has let her down and dares not face her. She feels guilty, so she gave in!

Pei Shaorong caught the change in Sun Xuehe's expression. She felt funny but also a little sad.

This is the friend she has known for more than ten years and thought was a close friend!

Pei Shaorong knew that even if she would continue to associate with Sun Xuehe in the future, the relationship between them had changed and there was no going back!

Lu Yingzhu also sensitively noticed something.

But this time she stood on Arong's side! Look at what Xuehe meant just now. What was she dissatisfied with? What was she mocking? Who offended her? It's inexplicable!

If it wasn't Mu Hua's coming-of-age day, she

would have fought with her to the bitter end! Over there, Xu Mu Hua finally finished entertaining the elders and was able to get away to entertain her friends.

"Mu Hua looks so beautiful today! Why didn't I realize that Mu Hua was so beautiful before?"

Mo Ying also ran back and stared at Xu Mu Hua.

She said this from her heart. She really didn't think Mu Hua was so beautiful before! In the past, she thought Mu Hua was not bad looking, but there was nothing amazing about her.

But today, for some reason, she suddenly felt as if her eyes were brightened!

"Well, maybe it's because I'm the protagonist today! You know, the protagonists are the most beautiful!"

Mo Ying was half-believing and half-doubting. Then why didn't she think she was the most beautiful in the audience when she came of age?

"Muhua, Muhua, who is that?"

Lu Yingzhu suddenly tugged at Xu Muhua's sleeve and asked in a low voice, with a blush on her cheeks and shyness flashing in her eyes.

Xu Muhua took a look and said, "Oh, that one, it's--"

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

Everyone was stunned.

Imperial edict?

After coming to his senses, he knelt down immediately.

Xu's mother, who was busy with socializing, was also stunned.

How could there be an imperial edict?

Then he looked at the eldest princess on the side, subconsciously thinking that it was related to the eldest princess.

"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, decrees that we have heard that Xu Muhua, the eldest daughter of Duke Chengguo, is chaste and obedient, talented and virtuous... She is specially betrothed to the Crown Prince Zhao Chengye as a concubine..."

Xu Muhua:

Not only Xu Muhua was stunned, but everyone present was stunned!
