Chapter 21 Embarrassing Identity
The closer you get to the main hall, the more officials you meet. Some ministers who have a good relationship with Hua Yaoting all come over to say hello.
Soon, someone from the palace came to lead the way.
When everyone from the Hua family entered the Sheng'an Hall, they found that many family members and ministers had gathered in the hall. Even Fan Zixiu and Fan Yurong had already arrived.
This time the seats were arranged according to the rank of officials. Fan Zixiu, who ranked first, sat with the current Prince Rui, while Fan Yurong and Fan Xuening sat in the back rows.
Today, Fan Xuening is dressed very beautifully. In addition, at a young age, she is very good at coaxing people. Even if she is far away, she can still coax Fan Zixiu and Prince Rui who are sitting far away into a rosy complexion. Laughed.
Compared with Fan Xuening who was wearing gold and silver, Fan Qingyao who had just entered the hall was much simpler.
Countless eyes in the hall were all darting back and forth between Fan Xuening and Fan Qingyao.
No one expected that Miss Fan, who was kicked out of the Fan Mansion, was so beautiful. Even without the accessories, she was on par with Fan Xuening.
Fan Xuening, who was sitting in Fan Yurong's arms, was still stimulated by the stunning looks of those in the hall, even though she was young.
Even Prince Rui, who was sitting next to Fan Zixiu at the moment, was actually looking a little dazed.
Prince Rui is nearly forty years old and is a cousin of Xiliang. Because he married Fan Zixiu's sister, he and Fan Zixiu are very close, and they almost have to breathe in the same nostril.
Hua Yaoting could ignore Fan Zixiu, but he could not go beyond Prince Rui. Even if he knew that Prince Rui and Fan Zixiu were in cahoots, he still had to bring the Hua family's little daughter to greet him.
"The little girls of the Hua family send their regards to Prince Rui. May Prince Rui be blessed with peace and prosperity." The little daughters of the Hua family, headed by Fan Qingyao, knelt on the ground with their knees bent.
Prince Rui was devoted to cultivating himself with Fan beside him, and he would not let the Hua family's daughter get up easily. Just when he was thinking about how to make things difficult, he saw a petite figure rushing over.
"Grandpa Prince Rui, when Ning'er tasted the sweetness of this fruit, she thought of giving some to Grandpa Rui to sweeten her heart." Fan Xuening sweetly pressed her mouth into Prince Rui's arms, hiding her disgusted expression. Small face.
"Ning'er is really becoming more well-behaved and sensible." Prince Rui happened to be borrowing the donkey from Poxia. He looked away from the little girls of the Hua family and touched Fan Xuening's hair with a smile.
Fan Xuening was even more happy after hearing this, and presented the fruit in her hand to Fan Zixiu, "Ning'er specially selected this for grandpa, and grandpa will eat it."
"My Ning'er is naturally well-behaved and sensible, but she is much better than those who only know how to kneel on the ground." Fan Zixiu smiled proudly. No matter how humble Zui Ling was, this granddaughter can always make a difference. He made her happy and comfortable.
Prince Rui took advantage of the opportunity to chat with Fan Zixiu. The two of them seemed to regard Fan Xuening as a treasure in their hands. They kept teasing her and ignored the little daughter of the Hua family who was kneeling on the ground.
The New Year has just passed, and no matter how vigorously the silver charcoal is burning in the main hall, the ground is still freezing cold.
The little girls of the Hua family only knelt down for a moment, and then they all shivered. Mu Yan, who was in poor health, even had her lips turn purple from the cold.
Fan Xuening stared at Fan Qingyao as if to show off. Her mother had said that she was the most eye-catching existence in the Fan family, and Fan Qingyao was just a loser.
Fan Qingyao was very calm, but his eyes were a little colder than the frozen ground.
Fan Xuening learned how to win favors from a young age under Zui Ling's teachings. Originally, she thought that the sheep would have to be fattened before killing them, but now that someone came to her door looking for them, she cut off two taels first. It’s not a bad idea to offer meat as a sacrificial offering.
"Ahem..." Hua Yaoting has been fighting all year round, and the evil spirit around him has not dissipated. Now he frowned in displeasure when he heard Fan Yurong's words, and his face was even more calm and intimidating.
Even though he didn't say a word, he was still so scared that Prince Rui had to restrain himself.
"It's all because Ning'er is too cute, but he forgot that there are still people kneeling." Prince Rui raised his hand to signal hypocritically, and then turned his eyes to Fan Qingyao, "Oh, this is the Fan family Qingyao girl, right? I’ve always heard of this girl’s name, but this is the first time I’ve seen her.”
"Prince Rui is interested." Hua Yaoting said lukewarmly.
Prince Rui did not ignore Hua Yaoting's cold face. He continued to look at Fan Qingyao with a bright smile, and suddenly changed the topic, "It's just that this girl from the Fan family didn't come with Prime Minister Fan? Could it be that I remembered it wrongly?" ? This girl from the Fan family is actually named Hua?"
Those military officers who had always been good friends with Hua Yaoting were extremely anxious, but could not speak. No matter how bad Prince Rui is, he is still a prince. The rule of first king and then subordinate is an insurmountable rule. If Hua Yaoting doesn't reply, he is clearly contemptuous of the prince. But if he replies, does Hua Yaoting have to admit that his daughter is no better than a prostitute? , and returned to her parents’ home with her tail between her legs to take refuge?
"This is my housework. Prince Rui's control is too lenient." Hua Yaoting frowned, exuding the coercion of a soldier.
Prince Rui was so upset when Hua Yaoting saw him that he swallowed subconsciously.
Fan Zixiu sneered and said, "If it comes to housework, Prince Rui and the Fan family are also close relatives. Princess Rui is a virtuous and virtuous woman. Even if Prince Rui has many wives and concubines, Princess Rui can only take care of it in an orderly manner. She will never do it." It’s the ones who run away from home.”
Tao Yuxian looked at Fan Zixiu coldly, his face darkened.
The imperial palace is no different from other places in the city. It is not easy for a woman to argue with men about right and wrong. Now, no matter how much she cannot bear it, she can only stand silently and cannot speak.
“Why can’t I enter the palace with my foreigner and my grandmother?”
A childish voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.
Everyone looked up and saw Fan Qingyao looking up at his face as big as a palm, both innocently and confidently.
There is a banquet in the palace, and the children who can enter this hall are all of good status. Although there is no rule that children are not allowed to talk, in the face of such an occasion, other children will be frightened to death, and how can they say anything? sound?
Just like the little daughters of the Hua family standing behind now, which one is not white-faced in horror?
Even the eldest daughter-in-law Ling Wei, who has always been domineering, is careful to behave with her tail between her legs.
“Girl Qingyao, please remember that your surname is Fan, not Hua. The man sitting here is your grandfather.” Prince Rui warned with a smile.
Fan Qingyao opened his big eyes and looked at Fan Zixiu.
Fan Zixiu adjusted his clothes subconsciously and turned a blind eye to Fan Qingyao's gaze.
It's just a wild species outside. She is lucky to be able to call him grandpa.
“As for Prince Rui, I don’t have a grandfather.”
“Girl Qingyao, don’t talk nonsense!” Prince Rui scolded angrily.
“I have lived outside my home with my mother since I was a child and have never seen my grandfather. People in the village say that my grandfather may be dead.”
Fan Qingyao smiled hard. Yuxue's cute appearance was very endearing, but the words he spoke seemed to be carrying a knife, and he almost killed the unprepared Prince Rui on the spot.
Prince Rui was choked until his face turned blue.
Fan Zixiu, who was sitting next to him, turned so dark that his facial features were blurred with anger.
I was still waiting for Fan Qingyao to cry and beg him to recognize his ancestor and return to the clan, but what he got was a sentence that choked people to death and would not pay for their lives.
It's just that what Fan Qingyao said was right. He hadn't even looked at her since she left the house. Now even if Fan Qingyao opened her eyes and cursed him, he was helpless.
Looking down at Fan Xuening beside him, Fan Zixiu felt for the first time that this granddaughter who only knew how to act coquettishly was so useless.
Fan Xuening felt guilty when Fan Zixiu saw him, and glared at Fan Qingyao fiercely. How could this **** be so arrogant?
Fan Qingyao looked at Fan Xuening and smiled leisurely, and his provocative smile became even more arrogant.
Fan Xuening was jealous of Fan Qingyao's face, and now that smile hurt her eyes even more. After all, she was just an eight or nine-year-old child. No matter how scheming she was, she couldn't help the eldest lady's temper.
“Fan Qingyao, you piece of shit!”
