1367. Chapter 1367 Pleasing to the Eyes
In the main hall, there was another person who had been observing Ye Zhen, and that was Zhao Rao, the eldest princess of Qi.
She had heard of Lu Yaoyao's name a long time ago, and she had heard a lot from Zhao Ning. Moreover, every time Zhao Ning mentioned Lu Yaoyao, he always looked forward to and admired her, as if Lu Yaoyao was simply She is as omnipotent as the fairy, and then there is Lu Shuang'er. When she mentioned Lu Yaoyao once, Lu Shuang'er's eyes immediately turned resentful and vicious, and she regarded Lu Yaoyao as her enemy.
Sometimes the hatred between women is mostly caused by jealousy. Lu Yaoyao is Lu Shuang'er's cousin. There is basically no feud. The only hatred is towards Mo Rongzhan.
Zhao Rao looked at Mo Rongzhan. The Emperor of Jin Kingdom was indeed tall and handsome, and even more noble than her father. No wonder so many women liked him. However, he was not the only one who doted on Lu. Shuang'er later fell in love with Lu Yaoyao after getting tired of the old. Did this lead to Lu Shuang'er being abandoned?
However, if he is a person who likes the new and hates the old, why hasn't he gotten tired of Lu Yaoyao after so many years? It is said that he has only doted on Lu Yaoyao for so many years. Apart from her, no concubine has ever given birth to a child.
Lu Yaoyao...
Zhao Rao watched this woman talking to Beitang Yu with a smile. Her voice sounded delicate and soft. As a woman, she felt as comfortable as a spring breeze when she heard it, let alone a man. Her whole body felt like it when she heard it. All crispy?
Look, the look in her father's eyes can be called affectionate. He has never seen his father look at a woman like this before, not even towards her mother.
Is it because of Lu Yaoyao's beauty that she gets so many men to help her?
"What are you looking at?" Cheng Zheng noticed that Zhao Rao's eyes were looking up, thinking that she was looking at Mo Rongzhan, and he felt a little jealous.
Zhao Rao looked back at him and whispered, "Uncle, why do you think Lu Yaoyao can become the Concubine of Heaven?"
"Why do you think she is?" Cheng Zheng raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that her attention was on Lu Yaoyao.
"Mo Rongzhan indulges her so much. She is obviously his queen, but he allows her to go to sea for two years without saying a word of displeasure. There are also Huangfu Chen and Shui Yichen. Why would they willingly obey a woman? Is it just that? Because Lu Yaoyao is good-looking?" Zhao Rao frowned, she still couldn't figure it out.
Cheng Zheng chuckled lightly and raised his eyes to look at Lu Yaoyao. Such a woman was indeed stunningly beautiful, but she was not the only one in the world who was stunningly beautiful. Why couldn't those women become heavenly concubines? "Who do you think the one hundred thousand elite soldiers of the Yuan Kingdom are taking orders from now? Shui Yichen or Huangfu Chen?"
Zhao Rao was stunned for a moment, and she looked at Cheng Zheng doubtfully.
"If Lu Yaoyao is not good-looking, your attention will not be on her appearance, but on the fact that she was able to obtain these 100,000 elite soldiers in two years. They are not ordinary soldiers, they are the most elite soldiers of our Qi State. We may not even be able to win a draw with them." The singing and dancing music almost drowned out Cheng Zheng's voice, but Zhao Rao still felt something move in his heart.
"Then she is both the Heavenly Concubine of the Yuan Kingdom and the Queen of the Jin Kingdom. How does this count?" Zhao Rao asked.
Cheng Zheng smiled lightly, "In the future, the ministers of the two countries will still have arguments, let's just watch it, it has nothing to do with our Qi country."
"How could it be irrelevant? Look at my father's eyes, they never left Lu Yaoyao for a moment." Zhao Rao said in a muffled voice.
"There is no harm in looking at the beauty now." Lu Yaoyao was originally the most beautiful woman in the world, and it would be pleasing to look at her more. Besides, Zhao Yong was originally a romantic man. He has been cultivating himself in the past two years. It prevents him from liking beautiful women.
Zhao Rao felt a little unhappy when he heard what Cheng Zheng said, "So, uncle also likes Lu Yaoyao very much."
Who doesn’t like beautiful women? However, appreciation is different from what is really in his heart. Cheng Zheng approached Zhao Rao and asked, "Are you jealous?"
"Uncle, are you drunk?" Zhao Rao's face turned cold.
Cheng Zheng felt that her tone was sour, and thought that she didn't just hate and resist him. "Everyone gets drunk without being drunk."
Zhao Rao simply ignored him.
The two of them were talking in a low voice, and Zhao Yong suddenly frowned and looked over. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Cheng Zheng for a while. Could this guy have confessed all his thoughts to Rao'er? If that's the case, haha, let him stay at the border when he returns to Qi.
"I want to go for a walk." Zhao Rao said to Cheng Zheng. Seeing that Cheng Zheng wanted to get up and accompany her, she immediately said coldly, "If you come too, my father will definitely be suspicious of you."
"Don't go too far." Cheng Zheng told her in a low voice. He had already noticed that Zhao Yong was staring at them. Even if he wanted to follow Zhao Rao out, he could only hold back.
Zhao Rao nodded lightly, lowered his head and walked out as unnoticed as possible.
Although she tried her best to keep a low profile, Ye Zhen still saw her. The positions in the main hall were arranged according to her status, so Ye Zhen recognized it at a glance as the eldest princess of Qi State, Zhao Rao.
"Go and see what's going on." Ye Zhen whispered to Hongying.
Zhao Rao walked out of the hall. The smell of alcohol was very strong inside, and she was a little dizzy. However, she did not come out to take a breath. She felt that Lu Yaoyao should lock Lu Shuang'er in the palace, but she didn't know where. It was the banquet. , the guards should be looser.
"Your Highness, is there anything you need me to do?" Hongying stepped forward and asked Zhao Rao with a smile.
"Oh, it's nothing, I just want to come out and get some air." Zhao Rao said, "I'll just stand here for a while."
Hongying bowed, "Yes, Your Highness the Princess."
Zhao Rao knew that this palace maid was someone close to Lu Yaoyao. She walked to the courtyard and stood there. When she saw Hongying returning to the main hall, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Empress..." Hongying returned to the main hall and whispered to Ye Zhen in a low voice.
Ye Zhen just frowned slightly when she heard that, and said to Hongying, "See what she wants to do, don't stop her."
Hongying understood what Ye Zhen meant and walked out with her head lowered.
Zhao Rao saw that Hongying didn't come out after going in, so she walked around with peace of mind. Probably because there were so many people at the banquet, the palace people were just busy and no one noticed her walking towards the harem.
She also grew up in the palace. The layout of the Yuan Kingdom's harem was the same as that of the Qi Kingdom, just smaller. She knew exactly which direction to go.
No one came to stop her along the way, because the night was relatively dark and the palace people did not see her.
She didn't know that Hongying had been following behind her, and she didn't know that Ye Zhen had ordered all this, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to enter the harem.
If Lu Shuang'er was imprisoned in the palace, where would he be imprisoned?
