Chapter Nineteen Shocked
First of all, the identity of "Princess" is already very impressive.
Normally, only the daughter of a prince in the royal family can be called a princess.
In the early days of the founding of the Cangkong Kingdom, there were several opposite-sex kings who were named kings, but as time went by, the previous few opposite-sex kings either lost their families because they had no successors, or were made excuses by emperors of all generations to strip them of the title.
To this day, except for the royal family, no king of the opposite sex exists in the Cangqiu Kingdom.
In other words, in the current Cangqiong Kingdom, all the princesses are filled with royal blood!
Not to mention that Lianyi is not the biological daughter of Xu Ji and his wife, even if she is, she will almost never be crowned as a princess. Even Luo Xinlan, who is the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, is just a first-class lady of imperial edict.
Especially, there was also a title in front of this princess - Zhuque!
There are four major divine beasts in the Cangqiu State, namely - Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise.
Among them, the Qinglong and the White Tiger are only qualified to use, but the number of titles such as "Qinglong" and "White Tiger" has not been banned for many years.
Vermilion Bird represents the senior martial family in the Cangqin Kingdom.
Most of the people living on Zhuque Street are senior generals from Cangqiong Kingdom.
But no one, including Duke Zhenguo Xu Ji, who holds heavy military positions, can use Suzaku as the mark of his family.
Without royal enthronement, it is a taboo to do so.
Therefore, as soon as the emperor's decree was released, the Xu family's future family mark could be used openly as the mark of the family!
At the same time, Xu Lianyi, a girl with an ordinary or even a little low-key identity, suddenly had an identity second only to the royal princess... and even higher than some ordinary princesses!
She is Princess Zhuque, she is unique!
This is amazing!
I dare not say that there are no ones in the future, but in the Cangkong Kingdom, it is definitely unprecedented.
Almost all those who can come to Xu's mansion today are friends and friends who are good at the Xu family era, so naturally they have nothing to say about. Even so, there are still many people with a strong look of envy in their eyes, more or less, and a little jealousy.
Luo Xinlan was slightly stunned at first. She didn't have much joy in her heart. Instead, she became alert: What did the emperor suddenly give such kindness to the Xu family? Is it just because of something a while ago that he was compensating the Xu family? But why did this compensation once again ignore Xu Luo, who should be compensated?
Lianyi was also a little stunned, standing there, a little at a loss.
The prince smiled gently and coughed lightly: "Princess Lianyi, why don't you accept the order to thank me?"
Lianyi turned her head to Luo Xinlan. Obviously, the girl had no idea at this moment.
"Thank you for your kindness." Luo Xinlan sighed lightly, her heart a little complicated. It was not that she was jealous of Lianyi. She had long regarded Lianyi as her daughter, but she felt that the emperor's sudden order was very intriguing and unpredictable.
Lianyi carefully looked at Xu Luo next to her. Except for the noble background, this girl who grew up in the general's mansion was not bad in any other place, especially her IQ. After a brief loss of consciousness, she quickly felt that this reward was a bit too much.
Xu Luo looked at her with a smile, her eyes full of encouragement.
For some reason, Riyi's heart suddenly became much more relaxed.
"As long as the young master is not angry, then you are not afraid!" Lianyi thought to himself and thanked him for his gratitude.
At this time, the prince saw Huangfu Chongzhi beside him, walked over with a smile, nodded, and said, "Brother, are you here too? Recently, you have not been to my place much. Someone sent me some good medicinal herbs a few days ago. Those who came from Nandian were still alive, and it was useless to put them in my place. I will ask someone to send them to you later."
Huangfu Chongzhi smiled and said, "The prince is so polite. Why do I have the nerve to ask for the prince's things?"
"Brother, what are you talking about? We are brothers, why are you polite to your younger brother?" The prince glanced at the eldest prince and said unhappily: "Don't postpone it, this is just a little bit of the wish between brothers."
Huangfu Chongzhi could only smile bitterly and nodded.
Then, the prince looked at Xu Luo again, and a faint apology flashed through his gentle eyes. He walked over and looked at Xu Luo and chuckled, "Xiao Luo, it's been a long time since we saw him."
"I have seen Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Xu Luo saluted the crown prince in a humble and arrogant manner.
"Oh, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you and I have become a little unfamiliar. In the past, you always called me Brother Chong Xi." The prince sighed softly, then raised his head, looked at Xu Luo and said seriously: "I can't do anything about many things now, but sooner or later, I believe that people in the imperial capital will know a different second son of the Xu family."
Today's occasion is semi-public, and His Royal Highness's words are almost equivalent to expressing their opinions!
As for whether this statement represents the royal family or himself, it depends on your opinion.
At least, people can't tell from the current emperor how much he likes Xu Luo.
The two enthroned Xu family have nothing to do with Xu Luo.
Xu Luo glanced at the prince, smiled slightly, and said, "The noble and inferior should not be abolished, but Xu Luo would like to thank the prince for his care first."
The prince nodded, his eyes full of encouragement, and he didn't say anything more.
Even the fat little boy Liu Feng, who hates the most, has to admit that this guy's elegant, generous and gentle appearance does make people feel quite comfortable and not so annoying.
The people who attended the Xu Mansion banquet became more enthusiastic because of the arrival of His Royal Highness the Crown Princess and Xu Lianyi.
The little jealousy that just now had already been buried in my heart.
The emperor has a golden word and a jade word. In the future, Xu Lianyi will be a real princess, looking like a flower and jade. Such a girl is absolutely popular in the imperial capital. Which noble master does not want to marry such a girl?
Therefore, the female family members who were already very enthusiastic were even more enthusiastic at this time.
What's even more surprising is still behind.
Just as the prince picked up the wine glass and was about to toast everyone and leave after a glass of wine, the loud and loud voice of the door came from outside again.
"Master Fengyue Tower, Phoenix is here! I will send you a set of deep-sea coral screens, a set of blue-blue jewelry, and a car of Yanzhixuan gouache... Congratulations to the Xu family for receiving the daughter, and congratulations to Princess Zhuque..."
A brief gap appeared again at the originally lively banquet.
Those who are qualified to appear here today will either be rich or noble, and will not be easily scared.
But what happened today was full of evil nature.
First, the crown prince represented the royal family and suddenly came to congratulate him. The emperor inexplicably conferred an unprecedented princess Zhuque. It was already shocking everyone.
But who would have thought that the banquet was only halfway through, the Fengyue Tower owner Fenghuang, who was famous in the imperial capital and had an extremely mysterious identity, would arrive without invitation!
That's not all. What really shocked everyone was the gifts sent by Phoenix.
Even the prince showed a look of shock on his face, and he gently took the wine glass placed on his lips and put it back on the table.
"What does the relationship between the Phoenix Tower owner and the Xu family? This work... is too big, right?"
"What a god, deep-sea corals are extremely expensive, and a set of screens made of deep-sea corals... This thing is considered a treasure, right? It can be passed on from home!"
"I have liked the jewelry of Cyrilju for a long time, but it is really too expensive. Any jade hairpin costs hundreds of taels of gold..."
"I also use Yanzhixuan's gouache, but I buy it one by one every time. In this way, my master even said that I am a prodigal woman. Look at me, I actually sent a car here!"
After a brief gap, people were talking about it at the banquet, especially today, more female relatives came. This time, the envious and jealous expressions in the eyes of these women were obviously much more.
Jewelry rouge and powder... women’s favorite!
Luo Xinlan was really shocked. She didn't even know who the Phoenix was coming for!
Only Huangfu Chongzhi and Xu Luo's brothers were winking at Xu Luo. Obviously, they thought the phoenix was coming for Xu Luo.
Xu Luo had an innocent expression on his face, so he didn't believe that the Phoenix was coming for him.
Lianyi had just experienced the most unforgettable thing in her life, so she reacted very quickly and hurriedly brought two maids to greet her.
"I will come here without invitation. I hope I will not disturb you. I will accompany you first." I wore a red dress and walked in slowly, as graceful as a terrifying geek, elegant and calm. The phoenix's voice was lazy, exuding a charming but not demonic aura.
Even though many female relatives didn't like places like Fengyuelou during the meal, they had to admit that it was difficult for them to hate this woman in red.
It seems that she is born with a kind of affinity, which makes people want to get close to her.
Prince Huangfu Chongxi's eyes lit up, and then he smiled faintly: "I believe everyone will welcome Miss Phoenix can come."
"Your Highness is here too, Phoenix is rude!" Phoenix said lightly, holding her skirt, bent her knees slightly to salute the prince.
"Miss Phoenix, you don't have to be polite. Gu is here today, and he is also an ordinary guest." The prince said with a smile, no longer mentioning the words he wanted to leave.
Phoenix walked to the front of Riyi and said with a smile: "The princess is so beautiful today. Phoenix gave some gifts. I hope the princess will like it."
"The owner of Phoenix Tower is so polite. The gift is so expensive that Lianyi feels guilty." For some reason, Lianyi doesn't like Phoenix a lot. For no reason, she felt a little bit of resistance in her heart.
Phoenix smiled and said nothing, walked towards Huangfu Chongzhi and the others. He clearly walked to Xu Luo, but looked at Huangfu Chongzhi and others and asked, "Will my seat here affect you?"
"No, no, we welcome it too late..." Liu Feng, a little fat man, said hurriedly, and wiped the chair with his sleeves with a flattering look on his face.
Sui Yan rolled his eyes, obviously dissatisfied with a guy like the fat man who forgot his friends when he sees sex.
Xu Jie had no expression. In his heart, shaking iron and sharpening swords is much more attractive than a wine woman.
Huangfu Chongzhi smiled: "Welcome."
The prince sitting next to Huangfu Chongzhi's side had a strange expression, but he didn't say much.
Today's banquet is just like he said, just an ordinary guest, so he doesn't have much thought about the ripples that take the initiative to sit over.
He looked at Xu Luo twice and thought to himself: Is the rumor true? Fenghuang, the owner of Fengyue Tower, has a different attitude towards the second son of the Xu family than others? This matter...is a bit interesting.
