Chapter 219 How do you want to harm people?
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! May His Royal Highness live a thousand years..."
The sound, like the roar of a mountain and the roar of a tsunami, could be heard from far away.
When Huo Yuchen took Lin Pianran and walked into the palace under the guidance of the maid of Prince Zhao's mansion, they were halfway there when they met a large group of nobles who had heard the news, including men, women, young and old.
As they approached, they all stepped forward respectfully and saluted.
Lin Pianran felt a little regretful about staying with Huo Yuchen.
It's impossible to keep a low profile with him. It's completely different from her style of doing things secretly.
She doesn't like to put herself on a pedestal, like a target. While welcoming everyone's admiration, she also has to have the courage to face the enemy's open and hidden attacks at any time.
She likes to hide in the crowd in a low-key manner and then wait for the opportunity to act, which can often be unexpected and the effect is amazing.
Prince Huo Rong of Zhao had a smile on his face, and he and his concubine Li Mingwan personally entertained Huo Yuchen, Lin Pianran and their group as hosts.
Although the King of Zhao was his elder, in the strictly hierarchical state of Qin, the Crown Prince was the monarch and he was the subject, so he still had to be respectful and smile.
At this time, Lin Pianran began to look at Huo Rong carefully. He looked 50% similar to Emperor Wu of Qin, but was more handsome, elegant, and amiable than Emperor Wu of Qin. He was half a head taller than Emperor Wu of Qin.
His overall temperament gives people the feeling of a gentle and handsome middle-aged uncle. He doesn't look like a fifty-year-old man at all. He looks several years younger than Emperor Wu of Qin!
Li Mingwan beside her is naturally one of the most beautiful women. Although she is middle-aged, she still has charm and a well-maintained figure. She looks like a young girl in her twenties.
She has a gentle personality and speaks softly and sweetly.
At first glance, she is the epitome of a noble lady from an aristocratic family.
Beauty and calmness are combined together, and she exudes a graceful nobility.
It makes people happy.
When it comes to dealing with people, she is shrewd and sophisticated, and is the perfect mother of the family.
At this time, three very handsome young men came from the opposite side. They were Huo Rong’s three sons, Huo Mao, Huo Duan and Huo Ye.
The only one missing was the eldest son Huo Qing.
As if he understood everyone's doubts, Huo Mao quickly explained, "My brother has a disabled leg, so I guess he'll be out to see us a little later. I hope everyone can bear with me!"
Lin Pianran was already somewhat familiar with Huo Ye.
But it was the first time for Huo Mao and Huo Duan to see each other.
The two look quite similar, but Huo Ye's superior appearance is obviously much inferior.
Instead, he seemed more honest and calm, and his smile was naive, yet somewhat hypocritical.
Both of them look gentle and polite, and are extremely respectful and humble in their dealings with others.
They all look like humble gentlemen.
Lin Pianran couldn't see through them, and didn't know whether what they were showing now was their true character or a disguise. She could only find out after getting to know them better.
There was no separate seating for men and women at the banquet, and Lin Pianran and Huo Yuchen's seats were closer to the front.
The people sitting opposite them and in the seats below them were all members of the royal family.
Lin Pianran also saw Prince Duan Huo Yu, Prince Gong Huo Ling, Prince Qi Huo Hong, Prince Yan Huo Wei and Prince Guangling Huo Xu...
Prince Chang did not come to the banquet, but Gu Qingcheng and Lin Chuyan both came.
Gu Xiangsi also came. She dressed herself up beautifully and charmingly, and her clothes were also gorgeous and colorful. She looked extremely elegant, bright and generous.
The makeup on her face was also carefully applied and extremely brilliant, adding a bit of brilliance and radiance to her already outstanding appearance.
Many princes and nobles cast focused glances at her, each of them full of interest as if they had seen prey.
They were all very active in inquiring about her identity and seemed to have a strong interest in her.
Everyone praised her.
Gu Xiangsi also seemed to enjoy such admiring gazes and praises.
He even held his head high, with a charming smile on his face and a smug expression on his face.
It attracted the attention of many men.
Compared with the three beauties Gu Qingcheng, Lin Chuyan, it is indeed Gu Xiangsi's outfit today that is more stunning, surpassing the other two and taking the first place.
When Gu Xiangsi's gaze met Lin Pianran's, her eyes were full of provocation.
After the banquet began, dancers and musicians took turns to perform songs and dances, which made both the host and the guests very happy and the atmosphere was filled with singing and laughter from time to time.
There were no unexpected problems and everything was peaceful.
During the meal, many people would gather together to chat, play, or toast each other.
After Lin Pianran said something to Huo Yuchen, they moved closer to Han Yunxi. They sat head to head, talking and laughing while whispering to each other.
Han Yunxi brought Wang Yaoxin with her as well.
The child is not even four and a half years old yet he can't sit still at all, constantly moving around, sometimes clamoring for food, sometimes playing, and refusing to stop for even a quarter of an hour...
Han Yunxi was troubled by her and had no choice but to take her to the garden outside to have fun.
Lin Pianran also followed him out.
In the garden, all kinds of flowers compete with each other in beauty and fragrance, and butterflies fly around. When children see the beautiful butterflies, they chirp and chase them around.
Looks extremely happy.
Wang Yaoxin ran in front, and the maid and the nanny kept chasing her from behind. Han Yunxi lagged behind by a distance, slowly following behind from a distance.
When Lin Pianran saw this scene, she didn't feel bored, but found it extremely interesting.
Children are often the happiest, carefree and free.
Of course, Lin Pianran deliberately left herself alone, she was also fishing.
Those who are willing will take the bait.
She knew that Gu Xiangsi would never miss the opportunity and would definitely come to her on her own.
Soon, Gu Xiangsi, Gu Qingcheng and Princess Qinghe walked towards her together.
The goal is very clear.
Lin Pianran waited until they came closer without saying a word.
He just nodded slightly as a greeting.
After Gu Qingcheng approached, she was the first to speak, "County Lady, are you here alone? How boring!"
Lin Pianran smiled at her politely.
Gu Xiangsi smiled brightly, "County Lady Yuhua, seeing is believing. You are truly dazzling and your reputation is well-deserved!"
Lin Pianran replied calmly, "Ms. Gu is the winner today. We can only admit defeat."
After saying this, Lin Pianran secretly glanced at Gu Qingcheng and saw that her face changed slightly, looking a little unhappy.
There is a faint feeling of jealousy that keeps growing.
Where there is jealousy, there will be conflicts, and that is a good thing.
Lin Pianran felt like laughing when she saw that the sisters seemed to be harmonious on the outside but not in harmony on the inside.
Why do we need anyone to sow discord here?
They will definitely be incompatible.
