Chapter 170 Who is more beautiful
In the evening, Chunzhi and Huo Zheng brought Xiaoxing back to the palace to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
As soon as Queen Wang saw Xiaoxing coming back, she asked the palace maids to carry him over.
Xiaoxing grabbed a piece of cake in each hand, handed one to Queen Wang and the other to the Emperor.
The two old people laughed out loud.
Prince Rui, who was standing below, saw that the emperor loved his grandson so much and wanted his own son to go forward to please him. However, his son was very shy and refused to go forward no matter what.
This made Prince Rui very angry.
Huo Zheng and Chunzhi sat together, at the lower left of the emperor and empress, in the most forward position, just opposite Prince Rui and his wife.
The royal family had all met Chunzhi last time, so when Princess Rui saw her this time, she smiled and greeted her, "I've been saying for a long time that I want to see you more often, but it's been over two months, and I've been so busy that I can't even see you."
Princess Anyang said, "I heard that Chunzhi helped organize this Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet. It seems she is very busy and doesn't have much time to go out."
Chunzhi felt a little guilty when she heard this.
Queen Wang summoned her into the palace not to help organize the palace banquet, but clearly just an excuse to visit her grandson.
But Princess Anyang had to say it so loudly.
Chunzhi quickly said, "How could I have possibly helped? I was lucky enough not to cause any trouble for the Queen Mother."
While Queen Wang was entertaining her grandson, she took a moment to glance at Chunzhi. "Although Chunzhi has no experience in organizing palace banquets, she is attentive and willing to learn. She really helped me a lot this time."
Everyone at the banquet was surprised to hear this, and even the emperor couldn't help but look at Queen Wang and Chunzhi.
It is no secret that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not in harmony. Today, Queen Wang actually praised Chunzhi in public, which shows that the relationship between the two has become much more harmonious.
Everyone thought in unison: This Princess Chang'an is quite capable.
Chunzhi was thinking, Xiaoxing is really doing well.
Not only did he win the favor of his grandmother, but she also benefited from it.
After the palace banquet began, a group of royal relatives and important ministers stood up in turn to say auspicious words, recite poems and compose essays, showing their outstanding talent.
The emperor was very pleased and gave them many rewards.
Then the beauties began to sing and dance, the musicians played the sheng and the music was leisurely, everyone raised their glasses to toast the bright moon and the emperor and empress, there was constant laughter and joy, a scene of prosperity and peace.
Chunzhi rarely has the leisure time to enjoy the moon, but on a good day like the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is still better to prepare some delicious dishes and enjoy the bright moon.
But she had seen these powerful officials praising the bright moon in the sky before, especially Liu Yan, the third place winner who could compose a poem in ten steps.
Several unengaged princesses and princesses were looking at him.
Even Princess Anyang smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad."
Chunzhi also took a few more glances at the Tanhua winner Liu. Someone at the table whispered that when the results were announced last year, each family was looking for a son-in-law based on the list, and the most people wanted to choose the Tanhua winner.
But Liu Tanhua was not only good-looking, but also had good martial arts skills, so he was not caught.
Over the past year, countless people have wanted to marry into the Liu family, but Liu Tanhua has refused any of them, making other families envious.
Chunzhi glanced at Liu Yan for a moment longer, and Huo Zheng leaned over to her ear and asked, "Is the third place winner really that good-looking?"
Chunzhi smiled and said, "It looks good."
When Huo Zheng heard this, his eyes became even darker. He reached out from under the table and held Chunzhi's hand.
He whispered to her, "Who is more handsome, the third place winner or me?"
Chunzhi didn't expect Huo Zheng to ask such a question and couldn't help laughing.
She feigned distress as she thought about it, then said to Huo Zheng, "Spring orchids and autumn bamboos each have their own merits."
Huo Zheng tightened his grip on Chunzhi's hand and lowered his voice even more. "Say it again?"
When he was in Linshui Town before, he knew that Chunzhi was a person who only cared about appearances.
Sometimes when Chunzhi looked at him, she was somewhat fascinated by his appearance.
Huo Zheng was born handsome and was the best among the royal family and even in the entire capital, but he never cared about his appearance before.
Until I met Harue.
Power, fame and fortune could not make Chunzhi stay for him, but it was his appearance that made her occasionally obsessed.
So Huo Zheng, who cared the least about appearance, also started to care about it.
Liu Yan was from the south. He had affectionate peach blossom eyes, a slender figure, handsome and elegant appearance, and great talent. At his age, he had attracted many noble ladies.
It is difficult to estimate how many of them want to be Mrs. Liu.
Chunzhi is already a married woman, and she is also Xiaoxing's mother. She only admires Liu Tanhua.
Huo Zheng was even jealous, so Chunzhi wanted to tease him.
But Huo Zheng couldn't help being teased. Jealousy welled up in his heart, and his eyes said, "Do you really think so?" But he said, "If you really want to see it, how about I let him come over and let you see it clearly?"
Chunzhi met Huo Zheng's gaze and said with a smile, "Okay."
Huo Zheng looked at her and stopped talking.
"What are Seventh Sister-in-law and Seventh Brother whispering about?"
Thirteenth Princess Huo Yanran was sitting next to the two of them. Seeing them talking close together, she couldn't help but come over and ask in a low voice.
Huo Zheng said in a very calm tone: "It has nothing to do with you, go back and sit down."
"Why is Seventh Brother so angry for no reason?"
Huo Yanran was also raised by the Queen and was close to Huo Zheng. When she heard his tone, she knew he was angry.
Huo Zheng didn't show any expression on his face, but his sister saw it and said it out loud.
Chunzhi smiled and said, "He's not angry, we were just joking."
Huo Yanran said "Oh" and said, "I see. Is the Seventh Royal Sister-in-law looking at Liu Tanhua, so the Seventh Royal Brother is angry?"
Chunzhi smiled but said nothing.
Huo Zheng frowned slightly and said, "I told you to go back and sit down, why are you still staying here?"
Huo Yanran hid beside Chunzhi and smiled playfully, "This is the first time I've seen my Seventh Brother jealous. I find it funny. What's wrong with watching him for a while longer?"
Huo Zheng said expressionlessly, "I'm not jealous."
Chunzhi hummed, "He's not jealous. He just said he wanted to call Liu Tanhua over so I could see him clearly."
"Really?" Huo Yanran stood up immediately after hearing this. "Father, Emperor, Mother, and Seventh Brother said he wants Liu Tanhua to come forward and write another poem!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned to Huo Zheng.
Even Liu Yan looked over.
Chunzhi didn't expect that Princess Thirteen was such a talker.
The emperor laughed when he heard this and said, "Is it Qilang who wants Liu Tanhua to come forward, or is it you who wants Liu Tanhua to come forward?"
"I, I..." Huo Yanran blushed instantly and hesitated for a while before saying, "It's Seventh Brother!"
The little girl's thoughts were not to be hidden, and the emperor did not want to point them out. He smiled and said, "Lord Liu, did you hear that? Come forward."
"Yes." Liu Yan responded and stepped forward.
Huo Yanran blushed and obediently returned to her seat.
Huo Zheng held Chunzhi's hand tightly, gritted his teeth and whispered, "How long do you want to see him?"
Chunzhi lowered her head and suppressed a smile: "You specially called someone over here. If I don't take a closer look, wouldn't it be a waste of your kindness?"
