"Grandpa Ding, I still have a lot of things I want to do..."

"Is your career more important or Yuan Chen's marriage?" Grandpa Ding asked seriously.

"Grandpa Ding, my career and marriage are also very important. Not only men can have a career, but women can too. If Grandpa Huang allows it, I would like to take the first prize!"

"Girl, let me tell you, it's important for men to get married when they get older, and it's important for girls to get married when they get older! Although Yuan Chen is a concubine, he is knowledgeable and no worse than those legitimate concubines. Look at his brother Feng Yuanqing? He is simply a idiot.

"

"Grandpa Ding, I never care about concubines. Besides, concubines are really not that important. What I consider is character and progress."

"It's true that your grandpa Huang and I are not legitimate children, but you see now, we are living a good life." Grandpa Ding touched his gray beard.

"Grandpa Ding, don't be dissatisfied. You and Grandpa Huang are so good, they are simply winners in life!" Sheng Zhiyao curled her lips, this is Grandpa Ding really. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, brothers are harmonious, and his real brother is Shang Zhou.

The emperor, and he himself is also very capable.

"I didn't say I was dissatisfied! Hey! Why did you girl say that it happened to me?" Grandpa Ding glared. Isn't this child too disrespectful?

"Haha, Grandpa Ding, don't be angry! I was just joking, but Grandpa Ding, do you come to us, does Grandpa Huang know?" Sheng Zhiyao changed the subject, Grandpa Ding is really serious, he actually said this at such an old age

Just run.

Speaking of Emperor Shang Zhou, Grandpa Ding's expression immediately changed: "He still doesn't know that I'm back! Otherwise, I can run away whenever I want?"

Sheng Zhiyao resisted the urge to roll her eyes. She should have guessed this.

"Grandpa Ding, do you really think Grandpa Huang doesn't know? He just turns a blind eye! Think about it, as long as the father knows, it means that the old marquis knows. Doesn't it mean that the old marquis knows?

Grandpa Huang knows, but he just hasn't had time to come see you recently." Feng Yuanchen interjected slowly from the side.

"Oh, brat, stop interrupting and tell me when the competition will start!" Grandpa Ding slapped the table, but this time it was Feng Yuanchen's turn to roll his eyes.

"Grandpa Ding, you have had this temper for many years, why can't you change it? I was always scared by you when I was a child!" Feng Yuanchen shook his head helplessly. Regarding Grandpa Ding's temper, no one except the old marquis and the emperor could

Can't conquer him.

"Okay, Yuan Chen, do you have any news? When will you enter the Xichu Palace?" Sheng Zhiyao urged Feng Yuanchen. She didn't want to listen to their nagging.

"tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? That's fine, let's fight quickly!" Sheng Zhiyao nodded in agreement.

Sure enough, early the next morning, news came from the Imperial Palace of Xichu, asking the three of them to attend a banquet in the evening, saying that they would wash their hands of the dust, but what it actually meant was self-evident.

Sheng Zhiyao and Feng Yuanchen looked at each other and saw the ridicule in each other's eyes. This emperor really knows how to choose the time! Today is the 21st of the first lunar month, and it coincides with the beautiful spring.

Sheng Zhiyao and Feng Yuanchen put on their gorgeous brocade robes and prepared to go to the Xichu Palace with calm faces. Grandpa Ding was already looking forward to it at the door of the inn.

"Let's go! Girl, you must fight for your reputation!" Grandpa Ding kept urging him all the way until he got into the carriage.

"Don't worry!" Sheng Zhiyao was full of confidence. She would definitely win this competition.

The Imperial Palace of Western Chu.

As soon as the three of them stepped into the palace, they found that there were already many people inside, wearing all kinds of clothes.

Sheng Zhiyao and Feng Yuanchen entered the hall, standing next to Grandpa Ding.

The furnishings in the hall are extremely luxurious and extravagant. At first glance, they are all covered with yellow gold, which shines so brightly that it makes people unable to open their eyes. There are five or six young men and women standing in the center of the hall. Sheng Zhiyao glanced at them and felt that they looked ordinary.

, nothing particularly outstanding.

Sheng Zhiyao pulled Feng Yuanchen's arm and asked in a low voice: "None of these are as good-looking as Zi Chu. No wonder she is a treasure in Xi Chu."

"I really don't know about this. This is also my first time here." Feng Yuanchen shrugged. There is no need to pay attention to such a thing.

At this time, a middle-aged man in his forties with a beautiful beard

The young man walked towards the three of them: "Haha! It turns out that these two are the famous King Chen and Princess Yongchen. I'm disrespectful."

Feng Yuanchen nodded slightly and thanked: "Your Excellency..."

"I, Zhao Yunshan, am the Imperial Master of Western Chu."

Feng Yuanchen nodded, indicating that he had heard of his name.

"Prince Chen and the Princess come to Xichu for the first time, please take a seat!"

Sheng Zhiyao and Feng Yuanchen followed Zhao Yunshan and took their seats. Zhao Yunshan pointed at the young people in the hall and introduced: "Prince Chen, Princess, this is our Prince of Western Chu Kingdom, Zi Yu, and this is Er.

The prince is Zi Han. As for the other two, they are the princesses of Western Chu."

Sheng Zhiyao and Feng Yuanchen nodded politely and did not communicate further.

Sheng Zhiyao's attitude made Zhao Yunshan frown slightly. King Chen and Princess Yongchen didn't seem to pay attention to him as a national master. This was not okay. If they didn't even give him the face of a national master, then

The next plan will be difficult.

Sheng Zhiyao picked up the wine glass and took a sip. She knew that this competition would definitely not go smoothly.

At this time, the emperor of Western Chu came. A middle-aged man wearing a black dragon-patterned gown walked into the hall with a smile on his face and said loudly: "Dear ladies, I am hosting a banquet for the prince and princess of Shang Zhou today. I hope you all have a good meal.

Have fun drinking and don’t let go of all your hard work.”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Everyone is safe!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

As soon as the Emperor of Western Chu sat down, he was immediately served delicious food and wine, and they drank and drank among them.

Sheng Zhiyao and Feng Yuanchen were sitting together. Sheng Zhiyao behaved elegantly and spoke generously, which attracted the attention of many nobles. Only Feng Yuanchen, who was sitting next to him, was taciturn, cold and distant, and was incompatible with the entire hall.

People stayed away, but no one dared to say anything.

"Hey, who do I think you are? Isn't this the prince that our Princess Zichu likes?" A sharp voice filled with teasing and sarcasm resounded through the hall.

Sheng Zhiyao raised her eyes and looked at the source of the sound, and saw a woman dressed in purple and wearing pearls and emeralds walking towards her. This woman's name was Zi Lang. She was the fourth princess of the Western Chu Kingdom. Because she was jealous of Princess Zi Chu, she always

It's aimed at her.

Sheng Zhiyao looked away and continued picking up vegetables.

Feng Yuanchen frowned in displeasure, narrowed his eyes dangerously, and directed his sharp gaze at Zi Lang like an ice blade.

"Why, did I say it wrong?" Zi Lang faced Feng Yuanchen's gloomy eyes without fear and snorted coldly, "I remember clearly that that night, I saw a shameless person
