Chapter 168: Concubine Selection Banquet (1)
Ye Han glanced around with her beautiful eyes, walked to Ye Feiran, and said in a low voice, "Zhu Meiping is Zhu Meiying's sister, which is Yan Ruyu's mother. She came back from Mei Xian Sect in the sixth-level country some time ago. I just went to check it out today. How is her current cultivation level?"
"Oh, so she is Yan Ruyu's current mother! Auntie, I'll go with you." Ye Feiran's eyes were full of curiosity. At this moment, she really wanted to see what kind of person is willing to be the mother of a fallen flower.
However, Ye Han refused without thinking.
"No, the Mei Xian Sect is all female disciples. They specialize in the practice of Mei Xian. Zhu Meiping has been a member of the Mei Xian Sect for ten years. Her Mei Gong is definitely not bad. Let me go and meet her first."
Seeing Ye Han's serious look, Ye Feiran curled her lips helplessly, "Okay! Auntie, be careful and wait for your good news."
"Be good~" A smile appeared on Ye Han's face, and he reached out and touched Ye Feiran's head.
Ye Feiran: "..."
There is always a feeling that my aunt treats her as a pet cat!
After Ye Han left the house, Chu Xia and Chu Dong also came back after doing bad things.
Ye Feiran's lips curled up and asked, "How are you feeling? Do you feel good?"
"Cool!"
"Cool!"
Chu Xia and Chu Dong answered at the same time, with joyful smiles on their faces.
Hearing this, Ye Feiran snapped his fingers and said, "Keep up the good work!"
At this moment, she had suddenly forgotten that she had just complained about how early summer and early winter were becoming more and more violent.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it’s the day of the concubine selection banquet.
Ye Yuwei got up early in the morning to dress up. She was obviously much more beautiful than usual. This time she refused to go to the palace with Ye Feiran, so she set off with Ye Hai early in the morning.
As for Ye Feiran, she just put on a plain white dress, her hair was simply tied behind her shoulders with a ribbon of the same color, and no makeup was applied to her face.
"Master, you are so beautiful!" Chu Xia behind her looked at Ye Feiran in the bronze mirror and couldn't help but admire her, her pretty face even turned slightly red.
Ye Feiran stood up slowly and looked at Chu Xia. He noticed the blush on her pretty face and couldn't help teasing her, "Chu Xia, why are you blushing? Could it be that you have fallen in love with me, your master?"
After saying that, Ye Feiran reached out and lifted Chu Xia's chin, looking like a hooligan.
When Chu Xia saw her master teasing her, her pretty face seemed to be on fire, and she turned even redder.
"Master, you are annoying!"
As soon as the sound fell, Chu Xia ran out of the room as if running away. When she heard Ye Feiran's laughter, she ran even faster.
Chu Dong, who was waiting outside the door, couldn't help but have a faint smile on his face, which had always had no change in expression.
After breakfast, the three masters and servants walked slowly to the palace.
When Ye Feiran arrived at the palace, everyone was present except the king and queen, as well as the prince and princes who were preparing to choose their concubines.
I saw that the location of the concubine selection banquet was chosen in a huge square. There were two martial arts stages on the field, one was a martial arts stage for talent performances, and the other was a martial arts stage for strength competition.
Above the two martial platforms is where the king, queen and concubines sit. The lower part of the martial platform is divided into three areas. On the left is where civil and military officials and heads of major families sit. In the middle is where the prince, princes and princesses sit. On the right side is where the rich lady who participated in the concubine selection banquet sat.
Ye Feiran walked to the back of the right area and sat down, and saw the sleepy Situ Yu next to her. She was also wearing a plain white dress, and couldn't help but chuckle.
I wonder if her thoughts are the same as hers?
When Situ Yu heard the laughter, he opened his sleepy beautiful eyes slightly. The moment he saw Ye Feiran, his beautiful eyes immediately became clear and bright. He smiled and said, "Fei Ran, you are finally here! If you don't come again, I’m so bored that I’m swatting flies.”
"Are you sure you're not sleeping?" Ye Feiran glanced at Situ Yu before his eyes fell on the table in front of him.
I saw it was filled with pastries, fruits and fragrant tea.
"I didn't prepare any fine wine. How stingy!" Ye Feiran said with a slight frown.
As soon as he finished speaking, a jar of fine wine appeared in front of him.
"It's for you. My mother brewed it with her own hands." Situ Yu said with a wink.
"Thank you. You're welcome. Let's come together!"
As a result, Ye Feiran and Situ Yu ate cakes, fruits and tasted fine wine as if no one else was around.
The strong aroma of wine floated in the air and soon attracted everyone's attention.
Ye Yuwei and other young ladies felt jealous when they saw that Ye Feiran attracted everyone's attention as soon as he arrived, especially Zhu Meiyan.
Because Zhu Meiping brought back a lot of medicine from Mei Xian Sect, Zhu Meiyan's injuries have recovered in a short time, and she is sitting in the front row dressed very beautifully.
Thinking of what happened that day, Zhu Meiyan felt extremely unhappy. She glared at Ye Feiran fiercely. The next moment she noticed her plain white dress, she immediately hatched a plan.
When the figures of the king and the queen appeared in her sight from afar, Zhu Meiyan suddenly said, "Ye Feiran, today is the concubine selection banquet. What do you want to do with wearing a plain white dress?"
As soon as he finished speaking, most of the rich ladies looked at Ye Feiran with disdain and whispered among themselves, not noticing that Situ Yu was also wearing a plain white dress.
Ye Feiran raised his eyes to look at Zhu Meiyan, and the corners of his lips curled up, "Gou Meiyan, it seems that your injury healed very quickly! I feel itchy again today. Do you want to re-experience the feeling of the past few days?"
After the sound fell, many people lowered their heads, obviously snickering.
Ye Feiran didn't care about these people who gloated over others' misfortunes, but Zhu Meiyan did. Just as she was about to scold Ye Feiran, Zhu Meili's unhappy voice rang out.
"Sister, sit down." Zhu Meili frowned and looked at Zhu Meiyan, with a hint of undisguised disgust in her eyes.
She really couldn't understand why Zhu Meiyan was so stupid with the same parents. She knew that she would suffer if she provoked Ye Feiran, but she still didn't learn her lesson.
Zhu Meiyan noticed the coldness in Zhu Meili's eyes and glared at Ye Feiran fiercely before turning back.
Situ Yu glanced at Zhu Meiyan, took a bite of the pear, and said, "Feiran, is Gou Meiyan a pig brain?"
"Obviously!" Ye Feiran took a sip of wine and replied.
At the same time, a shrill voice rang out.
"The king is here!"
Huangfu Tian walked to the front, followed by the dignified and generous queen and the gorgeous concubines.
After they sat down one after another, most people stood up and saluted.
Ye Feiran naturally didn't know how to salute. She glanced around with her beautiful eyes and saw that the two elders of the Situ family and Manager Xie didn't salute. It seemed that their status was indeed very high.
Situ Yu didn't salute either. She held her chin with one hand and looked at Ye Feiran with interest, and asked, "Are you not afraid?"
Ye Feiran retracted her gaze and raised her eyebrows slightly, "Afraid? How do you write the word afraid?"
The arc of Situ Yu's mouth corners became bigger and bigger. She blinked mischievously and said, "It turns out that it's someone that I, Situ Yu, like."
Hearing this, Ye Feiran looked at Situ Yu and said with a smile, "Like? Could it be that you have fallen in love with me?"
