Chapter 290: Who does Princess Yaohua fall in love with?
Princess Yaohua of the Great Xia Kingdom is nineteen years old this year. She wears a red dress and a gold hairpin inlaid with gems on her hair. She is as beautiful as a flower and her smile is captivating.
She raised her snow-white face slightly, like a proud little phoenix.
She was followed by a guard of honor, looking very majestic.
When Chi Yan and Lan Yi saw Yao Hua, they looked at each other and immediately hid in the crowd.
Chi Yan narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance, why is Princess Yaohua here!
If she found out about her master, she would not go back and secretly tell Prince Yu.
Chi Yan thought again and realized that his master was only ten years old when he left Da Xia.
His appearance is a little different from when he was a child.
As long as the three of them don't show up at the same time, everything will be fine.
Chu Li was surprised to find that when Princess Yaohua arrived, even the Minister of Rites of the Great Chu, Ma Yunqing, was by her side.
This shows how much my father values the relationship with the Great Xia Kingdom.
Ma Yunqing quietly came behind Pei Ye, "Commander Pei, this is the secret order of His Majesty."
Pei Ye went to a deserted place, opened the secret decree, and smiled and shook his head. No wonder Emperor Qingyuan agreed so readily when he said he wanted to protect Chu Li and Chu Yue.
It turned out that His Majesty asked him to come here to protect Princess Yaohua, and to protect Chu Li and Chu Yue at the same time.
In order to please the Great Xia Kingdom, he even loves his own children more than his throne.
Pei Ye turned back nonchalantly and glanced at Princess Yaohua. This was Jun Yaohua, the most beloved youngest daughter of the Emperor of Daxia.
He looks like a little kid, but he has so many expert guards protecting him. Does he still need his protection?
Pei Ye immediately went to Chu Li's side to report, "Your Highness, this commander has received an order from His Majesty to protect that arrogant little princess. Please do not misunderstand."
When Chu Li heard that Pei Ye had a mission, he immediately urged him, "Go quickly, I won't misunderstand you."
She hoped that Pei Ye would fall in love with someone else as soon as possible, or even better, fall in love with someone else right away.
Pei Ye raised the corners of his lips and left in a good mood. You see, they were childhood sweethearts after all, and Chu Li believed in him.
Chu Li's eyes fell on Princess Yaohua. She was very beautiful, and her big cat-like eyes revealed confidence and a hint of arrogance.
It must be because her father and mother doted on her, and also because of the great national strength of the Great Xia Kingdom.
Many years ago, the territory of the Great Chu State was as large as that of the Great Xia State.
However, emperors of all dynasties preferred civil governance and did not place great emphasis on military officers.
Over the past hundred years, military generals have not been valued, national strength has declined, and many cities have been ceded.
Twenty years ago, the late emperor began to reuse military families such as the Bai family and the Mu family.
After years of fighting, some cities were recovered.
However, its land area is still smaller than that of Daxia, and its comprehensive strength cannot be compared with that of Daxia.
Princess Yaohua glanced at the crowd and her eyes rested on Chu Li.
Her pupils dilated and her breath was held. There actually existed such a handsome man in the world.
The man on the street is as beautiful as jade, and the young man is unparalleled in the world. This must be the young man you are talking about!
Minister of Rites Ma Yunqing was always good at observing people's expressions and immediately introduced them: "Your Highness, that is the Crown Prince of our Great Chu State."
Yaohua's cheeks turned red and she lowered her eyes. It turned out that he was Chu Li.
In order to cover up her gaffe, she changed the subject, "Oh, what about the person next to him?"
Ma Yunqing introduced: "The one sitting to the right of the prince is General Mu Feng, and the one sitting to the left is Grand Tutor Ye Hanting."
Yaohua cleverly shifted her gaze from Chu Li to Mu Feng. Wow, what a heroic man.
She smiled slightly and looked at Ye Hanting on the other side, and was stunned for a moment.
With just one glance, she was captivated by Ye Hanting's stunningly handsome face.
**Qing was completely confused. Why was Princess Yaohua so fascinated again?
Could it be that the princess fell in love with both of them at once?
His Majesty had privately reminded him that he intended to bring Princess Yaohua together with several princes.
It all depends on who is lucky enough to be favored by her.
His mind was a little confused. Did Princess Yaohua fall in love with the Crown Prince or Tutor Ye?
After a few breaths, Yao Hua came back to her senses and asked, "Who is the man you just mentioned?"
"Princess, that is our Majesty's most respected and powerful minister, Grand Tutor Ye Hanting."
Yaohua's breathing quickened. Brother Jun Ling was the emperor's uncle's legitimate son and her cousin. She hadn't seen Brother Jun Ling for more than ten years.
That year, Jun Ling's brother ran away from home, and they searched for him for many years but couldn't find him.
Why does that person's temperament and appearance resemble Brother Jun Ling so much?
Just as she was about to get closer, Ye Hanting raised his eyes and met her gaze. His aura of a superior being instantly made Princess Yaohua freeze in place.
Ye Hanting's temperament is so similar to her father.
His temperament and appearance are even more like his father than his biological brother.
Princess Yaohua was, after all, a princess of a great country and was accustomed to big scenes. She quickly adjusted her excited emotions and calmed herself down.
After today's competition is over, she must find out who Ye Hanting's true identity is.
If he is really Jun Ling's brother, he is now the Grand Tutor of Da Chu, and she cannot reveal her brother's identity.
Chu Li discovered that Princess Yaohua was staring at Ye Hanting, as if her soul had been hooked away.
Chu Li asked Ye Hanting calmly, "Sir, do you know that princess?"
Ye Hanting glanced at Chu Li, "Your Highness, why do you ask this?"
"I..." Chu Li didn't know why he suddenly became curious.
Yes, why did she ask Ye Hanting these?
She whispered, "I just saw her staring at you and thought you knew each other."
Ye Hanting smiled slightly, "She was staring at you for a long time just now, could it be that Your Highness knows her too?"
Chu Li: “…”
She avoided the question and asked, "Is the competition about to start?"
Chu Li suddenly saw a familiar face in the crowd, Chu Xing, a woman dressed as a man!
Behind Chu Xing were two palace maids dressed as men.
Chu Li held his forehead with his hand. Chu Xing’s idol image was a bit heavy. She dressed as a man and put on light makeup.
Chu Xing's round eyes darted around, and when he saw Chu Li, his eyes lit up instantly.
Chu Li raised an eyebrow at her and said to Kong Wu behind him, "Protect Princess Chu Xing quietly."
Kong Wu followed Chu Li's gaze and recognized Princess Chu Xing, who was dressed as a man.
He nodded and said, "Yes, I will go right away."
Chu Yue's entry caused another commotion.
Mo Yun followed not far behind her, watching her become the focus of the whole audience.
Chu Yue sat in the first row like a host.
Someone enviously said: "The Great Chu Lady has been in the sect for several years. This time, the closed disciple should be her."
"We can't envy this, after all, the four elders of Tianwu Mountain have only publicly accepted this one disciple in all these years."
"Your information is inaccurate. I heard that only the Fourth Master accepted her as an outer disciple, and the other masters did not!"
"Then today must be a special arrangement made by the four venerables for you. Wait, you will definitely win the competition today."
*** raised his head slightly when he heard the discussions, he was in a very happy mood and looked very calm.
Today, everyone knows clearly who will win and who will lose.
With so many people optimistic about her, she will certainly show all her strength.
Suddenly, the pressure of a strong man came from the air, and the surroundings were silent.
The four elders from Tianwu Mountain are here.
