Chapter 173: Concubine Selection Banquet (6)
Hearing this, the young ladies became more nervous, and at the same time, each of them blushed, very shy, and looked ready to be picked.
Some of the young ladies' fathers heard the last sentence, and their hearts were slightly relieved, but their slightly frowned brows showed that they did not trust Huangfu Tian very much.
The next moment, the eunuch's shrill voice sounded again.
"The king's gift, when the time comes, the young ladies who receive the reward will have a quarter of an hour to consider and discuss."
As soon as the voice fell, many people showed joyful expressions. A quarter of an hour of consideration and discussion was very important to them.
Ye Feiran was also quite satisfied with this, so that she could know the power distribution of important figures in the capital more clearly.
Situ Yu glanced at the shy young lady, with a hint of contempt in his eyes, and muttered, "Tsk tsk tsk, you have no ambition at all. If you have the ability, you don't have to be so frustrated to be picked like cabbage by men. Instead, you should take the initiative to choose cabbage."
Situ Yu's muttering fell into Ye Feiran's ears without missing a word. Ye Feiran raised the corners of her lips slightly and gave her a thumbs up, "What a great ambition!"
Situ Yu was embarrassed and coughed lightly, "Ahem~ Am I wrong?"
"Absolutely right, very correct!" Ye Feiran replied.
Situ Yu looked at Ye Feiran with suspicion, "You are not laughing at me, are you?"
Ye Feiran's mouth twitched slightly, and she spread her hands and said, "How did I behave like I was laughing at you? I agree with you very much. The strong are respected. I want to become stronger, and take the initiative to choose men in the future, instead of being chosen by men."
Situ Yu saw the seriousness in Ye Feiran's eyes, and hugged her arms with a flattering face, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
Hearing the apology, Ye Feiran was slightly stunned, and felt that Situ Yu was a really good friend.
"It's okay, it's not a big deal, just explain it clearly."
Situ Yu nodded, "Thank you for your understanding, hehe~"
Ye Feiran raised her eyebrows slightly, with a cunning look in her eyes, and said with a smile, "But, do you really plan to marry a cabbage in the future?"
Situ Yu was slightly stunned, and the next moment he reached out and pushed Ye Feiran, "You are annoying!"
"Haha~"
At the same time, the eunuch announced, "The selection of concubines will officially begin, starting with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and so on."
Hearing such an arrangement, some princes flashed a hint of irony in their eyes.
Hehe~Father is too partial! Let Huangfu Xian start, and all the good young ladies will fall into his hands.
Huangfu Xian was very happy in his heart, and he was not in a hurry at all at this moment. He asked the palace maid to follow behind him with a silver tray.
When the young ladies saw Huangfu Xian coming over, their hearts beat like thunder, their pretty faces flushed, and they looked like men were about to come to their bowls, hungry and thirsty!
Ye Yuwei's pretty face became even redder. She lowered her head and waited for Huangfu Xian to arrive. She believed that he would keep his word.
Huangfu Xian was not so fascinated by Yan Ruyu that he lost his rationality, especially after Huangfu Tian's indirect reminder, so he walked directly to Ye Yuwei.
Ye Hai saw Huangfu Xian's sight and frowned tightly. Obviously, he didn't expect that things would really develop to this point.
How can sisters share a husband? And Ruyu is not really...
Ye Hai was extremely anxious at the moment, but he could only wait and communicate with Ye Yuwei.
Huangfu Xian walked in front of Ye Yuwei and stopped. Many young ladies showed envy, except Yan Ruyu and Zhu Meili.
Yan Ruyu glared at Ye Yuwei and looked ahead expressionlessly.
Zhu Meili looked at her with worry. She wanted to comfort her, but when she saw Yan Ruyu's eyes, she swallowed the words that were about to come to her mouth.
Huangfu Xian reached out and picked up the jade hairpin, smiling and calling out, "Wei'er."
Ye Yuwei subconsciously raised her head, and the next moment she saw the jade hairpin in Huangfu Xian's hand, the smile on her face froze.
Jade hairpin, the prince's concubine!
Why? Why isn't she the main wife?
Of course, Ye Yuwei didn't have the courage to ask, and her voice trembled slightly, "Prince... Your Highness..."
"Hey, jade hairpin? Your Highness, didn't you promise my third sister to let her be the crown princess? Tsk tsk tsk, men are really fickle, and they change their minds in a few days." Ye Feiran's voice sounded very abruptly, like a thunderclap.
Hearing Ye Feiran's sarcastic words, Huangfu Xian's handsome face instantly darkened. He stared at Ye Feiran with a gloomy look and said sternly, "Ye Feiran, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Ye Feiran met Huangfu Xian's cannibalistic gaze directly, and said with a smile, "Oh, Your Highness the Crown Prince is angry! You know whether this lady is talking nonsense or not. This lady is just feeling sorry for the third sister now."
"Bullshit! Ye Feiran, if you say another word, this prince will tear your mouth apart." Huangfu Xian felt the different eyes around him, especially Yan Ruyu who looked at him, and instantly couldn't control his emotions, and the indecent word fart also blurted out.
The sarcasm in Ye Feiran's eyes became more obvious, and he spread his hands and said, "Tear it apart, if you have the guts, come and tear it apart! Who hasn't been guilty of a thief!"
The last sentence was very vicious, and Huangfu Xian was so angry that his face turned blue and black, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Ye Yuwei originally did not intend to intervene, because she really wanted to become the Crown Princess, and she also thought that Huangfu Xian had deceived her, but when she saw Huangfu Xian's dark face, she softened her heart and silently winked at Chen Zhishan next to her.
As Ye Yuwei's best friend, Chen Zhishan naturally understood what she meant, and quickly said, "Miss Ye, are you sure you are really helping Yuwei? I think you are jealous and regret breaking off the engagement!"
As soon as the voice fell, many people looked at Ye Feiran with contempt, and even whispered about it.
"I think Miss Chen is right. Ye Feiran must be jealous of her sister becoming the prince's concubine, otherwise why would she come out to make trouble at a critical moment."
"Tsk tsk tsk, why does a person who can't practice still pretend to be noble? He actually broke off the engagement with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and now he is obstructing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from choosing a concubine. How despicable!"
"Facts have proved that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very outstanding. It's good that Ye Feiran broke off the engagement. She is not worthy of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Hearing the discussions around him, Huangfu Xian's face suddenly eased a lot. He looked at Ye Feiran with a strong sense of pride, and even raised his chin slightly, like a rooster that won a fight, and it was almost "cock-a-doodle-doo".
Ye Feiran looked at Chen Zhishan and asked, "Miss Chen, which eye of yours saw me jealous? Are my eyes red? Am I jealous?"
"I..." Chen Zhishan was choked all of a sudden. What should she say?
"Can't answer?" Ye Feiran said with a half-smile on her face, "I think you are the one who is really jealous of my third sister!"
