Chapter 990 The white-haired man gives the black-haired man a gift
Seeing that after Meng Qin and the other two left, Bu Qingyao noticed that the way everyone around her was looking at her was strange, and there were even faint sounds of mockery, her expression became increasingly unpleasant.
“Qingyao, Meng Qin is really cunning. The Crown Princess and Princess Yun are both helping her so much, and they've all misunderstood you,” Wen Miaozhu said.
Seeing that Wen Miaozhu hadn't said a word when she was in an awkward situation earlier, and that Wen Miaozhu had only come over now that everyone had dispersed, Bu Qingyao felt a surge of annoyance.
Why didn't you say anything just now?
"Qingyao, you know my background. I had no right to speak in that situation just now."
"Although I want to speak up for you, I truly lack the power. If I offend her, let alone the Crown Princess, I can't afford to offend even your cousin."
Wen Miaozhu looked aggrieved and adopted a very humble posture, which made it impossible for Bu Qingyao to criticize her.
"Alright, I really didn't expect them to be so protective of Meng Qin. I miscalculated today."
Bu Qingyao felt extremely regretful. Today's occasion was very important to her; whether she could become Princess Xiao depended on this one move!
If she fails, she will not have any other chance to marry someone better than Meng Qin, and she will likely be inferior to Meng Qin in the future.
She was originally quite confident in herself, but after what just happened, she was really worried that this incident would affect the prince's impression of her.
"Qingyao, you don't need to worry too much. Everyone knows how beautiful you are. No wonder Prince Xiao is attracted to you," Wen Miaozhu said with a smile.
Bu Qingyao subconsciously looked at herself, and a bit more confidence rose in her heart. She was good-looking, which was already a well-known fact.
Over the years, countless talented young men have tried to win her heart, and she believes that with her own methods, she will surely win over Prince Xiao!
Not far away, Chu Junting's intriguing gaze fell on Prince Xiao, as if to say, "Brother, are you really that blind?"
"Don't worry, although I did do some ridiculous things before, my eyes aren't that blind."
King Xiao quickly expressed his opinion, because ever since King Chu arrived at the banquet, although he was talking to others, his eyes had been following Song Ruozhen.
However, he also understood that the Crown Princess was currently pregnant with three children and was the apple of the entire royal family's eye, so it was perfectly normal for Jun Ting to be worried.
That's why he also got to watch a good show and witness Bu Qingyao's performance.
"I knew my brother wouldn't be so blind. As your brother, I'm just worried about you. If you really marry her, there will only be endless trouble in the future."
Chu Junting patted Xiao Wang on the shoulder. The brothers had a very good relationship now and spoke without any restraint.
Xiao Wang chuckled, "My past incident has already made me a laughing stock, but compared to the Eighth Prince, mine is nothing."
Speaking of which, the Eighth Prince has been having a really tough time lately. I even heard that Wu Yue'er is making a scene demanding to see Prince Liang, apparently hoping to become his consort.
"She's going to be the Princess Consort of Liang?" Chu Junting raised an eyebrow unconsciously.
Xiao Wang nodded, "I happened to run into Lao Ba. He used to be carefree all the time, which I didn't like. But now he's always in a bad mood."
I happened to bump into him going to the Imperial Study today, and he angrily told me that Wu Yue'er was daydreaming, making a scene about wanting to see the Emperor and Prince Liang, and even thinking that she could use her son to gain status and go from Prince Kang's residence to Prince Liang's residence.
Chu Junting: "...This woman is exceptionally strong."
Looking at Chu Junting's indescribable expression, King Xiao couldn't help but find it amusing. "Haha, I also think that there aren't many girls in our dynasty who can match her personality."
How could she say such things with such self-righteousness? I think even King Kang was speechless.
"He doesn't have a normal brain, so naturally he's not comparable to ordinary people."
Chu Junting had always thought Wu Yue'er was not very bright, and now that she has caused such a mess, anyone with a shred of decency should feel ashamed, but she doesn't seem to think so at all.
"The King of Liang has had no children all these years, but now he finally has one, which is a cause for celebration."
A playful glint flashed in Xiao Wang's eyes. His gaze suddenly fell upon the man approaching from behind, and his eyes lit up as he said:
"King Liang has actually come today!"
Chu Junting turned his gaze and, as expected, saw Prince Liang walking over from not far away.
The King of Liang seemed to have noticed him as well, and their gazes met in mid-air, clearly in a confrontation.
"Today, ostensibly, we're choosing a princess for me, but actually, we're choosing a princess for the fourth prince. I think Bu Qingyao would be quite suitable for him," Prince Xiao teased.
Chu Junting nodded, "I think it's good too."
Soon, King Liang walked up to the two of them.
"Congratulations, Your Highness," King Liang said first, a smile on his face.
Chu Junting looked at the smiling tiger in front of him. This guy was still the same as always. He was probably furious inside, but he still acted like nothing had happened.
"Congratulations! You've finally come out. You must have been cooped up in the manor all this time!"
King Liang paused slightly; Chu Junting was deliberately trying to disgust him!
"It's alright, it's just tightly closed, it'll come out eventually," King Liang said with a forced smile.
"Fourth brother, you've had quite a few offspring lately. It's a pity about the previous two, they just died like that. But now you have another one, you'd better find a way to keep him."
King Xiao smiled faintly and said, "Otherwise, it would be hard to talk about three children dying in one year."
"It's truly heartbreaking for an elderly person to bury their child," Chu Junting echoed.
"You!" King Liang's face turned ashen. How could this guy have such a venomous tongue!
Even King Xiao couldn't help but look at Chu Junting, "I never expected this! I really never expected this!"
The third brother's words are so infuriating they could drive a person crazy!
"Fourth brother, hurry up, or it will be too late," Chu Junting instructed before going to find his wife.
King Liang: "..."
What people know is that if he doesn't hurry up and marry a princess, the child's identity will be hard to hide. People who don't know might think he doesn't have much time left and is about to die!
When Song Ruozhen saw Chu Junting approaching, she smiled and asked, "Have you seen Prince Liang?"
Chu Junting nodded, "He looks much worse than usual. Without Master Xuanyang by his side, his life is really not going well."
In his previous life, he was unaware that Master Xuanyang was helping King Liang all along. No wonder he had such good fortune and everything went smoothly for him; it was as if he was divinely aided.
Now that Master Xuanyang is gone, this guy has lost his backbone. To be honest, he doesn't have any real skills and can only rely on outside help.
"Just wait and see tonight, something exciting is about to happen."
Song Ruozhen and Chu Junting blinked. "This is going to be interesting!"
