Quickly wear and change the fate of the little cannon fodder

Chapter 457: The Little Cannon Fodder in Ancient House Fighting Novels 13

"You can think of me as helping others! How about this! If this is done, it will be three favors, plus the one for the news, a total of four favors, what do you think?" The Tenth Prince knew what she was thinking by looking at the expression on her face.

"Helping others? Then why are you asking me for a favor? I am originally a powerless daughter of a marquis, and now I don't even have any money. It's useless for you to ask for a favor from such a person!" Cui Xiaoxiao complained bluntly!

But she didn't care much about human feelings, and she would talk about it later! If he could really transfer the Marquis away from the capital for a period of time, then he would really help her a lot!

"It's of course not a big deal to help others with just a little effort. But if I want to help others seriously and use personal connections to do things, it's different, isn't it?

As for my request for favors, you really don't have anything to give me except favors. With favors, at least I know you owe me, right?" The tenth prince said nonchalantly while holding the cup.

After all, he was not without selfish motives. If the news of letting a daughter of a marquis be the prince's concubine spread, it would have a bad impact on the royal family. This was also the main reason why he meddled in other people's affairs!

Although this matter was caused by his fifth brother, as his fifth brother's rival since childhood, he certainly hopes that he will suffer as much as possible. But this matter must also be based on the principle of not harming the interests of the royal family, after all, he is also a member of the royal family.

As for helping the girl in front of him, he also admired her style of doing things! Of course, it is undeniable that he also wanted to see the consequences of the hypocrite Le Anhou!

"Then~~deal! Thank you very much for your help, Your Highness. Although I don't know when I can repay you for your help, if Your Highness needs me in the future, please just let me know." Cui Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and poured tea for the Tenth Prince to express her gratitude.

But in my heart I was secretly complaining, how dare this ignorant guy say that a rich woman like me has nothing? I have so many things, they are things that a country bumpkin like you have never seen before.

I just can’t and don’t want to let you know!

"Deal! Tsk, the tea here is really not that good?" He took a sip and said with a frown.

Cui Xiaoxiao was speechless. She spent half a tael of silver to get this tea!

"There's nothing we can do. It's because the Marquis' Mansion is poor! However, I can invite Your Highness to have a cup of tea after the talent show is over!" Cui Xiaoxiao didn't care about the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion at all!

"Okay, I won't disturb your rest. Let's go!"

"Your Highness is greeted with respect!"

Cui Xiaoxiao listened to the footsteps gradually going away, then she closed the window and went back to sleep!

Early the next morning, she received a message from the empress in the palace that a flower-viewing banquet would be held in two days and all the beauties were invited to attend.

Hmm? In her previous life, there seemed to be no banquet until the end of the talent show! What on earth went wrong? But anyway, why wouldn't she go if there was free food and drinks?

Seeing the concubines were excited again, some bought rouge and powder, and some asked people to go back again to ask for money, beautiful clothes and jewelry. The palace maids and eunuchs all smiled and narrowed their eyes. If they were not indifferent, Cui Xiaoxiao would have suspected that they were the ones who instigated the palace master to hold the banquet!

I also heard that the princes would be there that day, and the concubines became even crazier! They were all discussing what kind of makeup to order, what clothes to wear, how to style their hair, what jewelry to use... There was a lot of noise everywhere, but she was the only one who was silent. Yongqiu was used to it!

Finally, the day of the banquet arrived. The noise started before dawn. Cui Xiaoxiao was awakened and was speechless. Wasn't the banquet in the afternoon and dinner? Why were they making a fuss so early?

She rolled over on the bed, found an earplug and put it in her ears before going back to sleep. She woke up at her usual time and it was quiet outside. She used her mental power to observe the surroundings and found that the person had already left.

Cui Xiaoxiao was speechless. Is it appropriate to go to a dinner party so early? After asking Yongqiu, she found out that they went to the Imperial Garden to play first. Many concubines even moved their lunch there.

Yongqiu was really impressed by her. Others had left long ago, but this lady was not in a hurry at all!

Cui Xiaoxiao was really not in a hurry. After washing, dressing, and having breakfast, it was around nine o'clock. She read a book, had lunch, and took a nap. Then she slowly changed her clothes and checked herself carefully to make sure there was nothing wrong before walking towards the banquet venue.

When she arrived, the whole banquet area was filled with beautiful girls, and many large tables were decorated with many rare varieties of chrysanthemums. Some of the girls were composing poems around the flowers, some were playing chess, some were playing the piano, some were painting, etc.!

There were many small round tables around for the girls to rest, with snacks, fruits and tea on them. Cui Xiaoxiao looked around and found a corner with few people sitting down, drinking tea and eating snacks while appreciating the beauties of different styles showing off their charm!

"Can I sit here?" said a young lady with a rather cold temperament!

"Oh, go ahead!" Cui Xiaoxiao glanced at her and then turned her gaze to those beautiful girls!

"I thought I was the last one to arrive, but I didn't expect there were people who arrived even later than me!" The cold and beautiful girl spoke!

"Are you talking to me?" Cui Xiaoxiao pointed at herself and asked her!

"Nonsense, is there anyone else besides you within a ten-meter radius around here?" The concubine was speechless. If she wasn't talking to her, was she talking to the air?

"Oh, I'm not late! Those ladies haven't come yet, have they?" Cui Xiaoxiao still felt that she came early!

"That's right!" After she sat down, she reached out and poured herself a cup of tea!

Then he saw that there were many missing snacks on the table, and couldn't help but speak again. "I heard that the Imperial Concubine asked the Imperial Chef to prepare today's dinner. This is a rare opportunity, don't you want to save some for yourself?"

"Is that so? I just felt that while watching their brilliant talents and appreciating the beautiful scenery around them, I forgot to control my mouth." Cui Xiaoxiao was surprised to find that the lunch she had just digested had filled her up again without her noticing. She had to put down the snack in her hand, otherwise she would not be able to eat anymore.

"They started performing so early and didn't even take a break at noon. I don't know if they will have the energy to perform again when the ladies come over later."

"It's okay. They will definitely hold on. No matter how tired they are, it won't last more than half a day."

"That too."

The two strangers were chatting casually and they seemed to be getting along well.

At this time, the eunuch's voice shrieked: "Empress Zhao Guifei is here, Empress Chen Fei is here, Empress Xian Fei is here, Empress Shu Fei is here, Empress De Fei is here, Empress Yipin is here!"

The rightful owner has finally arrived.

All the beauties stood up and squatted in an orderly manner to salute the ladies!

"Get up! Don't be nervous. The final election is coming soon. I have led all the sisters to host this banquet just to let you relax. If you are too restrained, it will lose the essence of the banquet! Everyone, just have fun. If you need anything, just tell the palace maids around you!" Concubine Zhao said!

The ladies knelt down again to express their gratitude, and the ladies chatted with the ladies for a few more words, and the etiquette was finally considered complete.

After everyone sat down, the concubines showed off their talents to the ladies like a peacock spreading its tail. The quality was much better than when Cui Xiaoxiao first came!

Cui Xiaoxiao and the cool and beautiful girl slipped into a corner again, chatting and watching the show while waiting for dinner to arrive.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that there were two pairs of eyes from the main seat, looking at them intentionally or unintentionally. Cui Xiaoxiao released her mental power and found that it was not her illusion, but Concubine Zhao and Concubine Chen were both paying attention to them!

These two are the mothers of the tenth and fifth princes! Why are so many outstanding ladies surrounding them and paying attention to them? But this position is remote, and there is no one else besides them! Is it because of the person next to her?

"Hey, who are you? I always feel like someone is watching you over there in the main seat!" Cui Xiaoxiao whispered to the concubine.

"No way! We have been hiding in the corner! Besides, why do you say that they are looking at me? Can't they be looking at you?" The concubine looked left and right in a small arc, and then looked at the main seat.

There was indeed no one else around, so he whispered again! "Is this your illusion? Why didn't I feel it?"

"Because my family has no power, money or influence, the ladies will definitely not pay attention to me? I hope it's an illusion!" Cui Xiaoxiao was not sure who the two were looking at!

However, in his previous life, the Fifth Prince's backyard did not have the girl next to her. Could it be that he wanted her to enter the palace but failed? Or was she from the Tenth Prince's backyard?

What Cui Xiaoxiao didn't know was that the two of them were indeed looking at them, and to be more precise, they were looking at her. It could even be said that she had a reason for organizing this flower viewing banquet.

Concubine Zhao paid attention to her because of her son, and Concubine Chen paid attention to her because the Fifth Prince told her that Marquis Le'an had taken refuge with him! After hearing what her son said, Concubine Chen immediately realized that something was wrong. It was not appropriate for her son to arrange the Marquis's daughter in this way, unless there was something wrong with the daughter herself.

Apart from anything else, she at least understood that this legitimate daughter was extremely unpopular in the Le'an Marquis' Mansion, otherwise the Marquis' Mansion, which had few offspring, would not use the eldest legitimate daughter as a stepping stone.

Concubine Chen broke down the truth and analyzed it carefully to her son. The Fifth Prince was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. He did not expect that such a small matter would have such a big impact on him.

The fifth prince couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He didn't expect that a powerless Le'an Marquis would not bring him any good things, but a lot of troubles! He didn't know if he did it on purpose, so he was even more reluctant to give the Le'an Marquis's daughter a higher position.

But he had already said this to Marquis Le'an, and Marquis Le'an agreed! Either he simply broke the agreement and refused to agree to Marquis Le'an's surrender, or he destroyed the innocence of this legitimate daughter. Only in this way could he avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble!

Concubine Chen said that she would take a look at the person first before making a decision, but she was reluctant to summon this person into her palace, so she came up with the idea of holding a banquet.

And it's not just about the legitimate daughter of Marquis Le'an. She also wants to observe the characters of the girls she is planning to give to her son! If necessary, she also wants to find a noble lady for her son to live in!

She discussed several feasible plans with her son. It would be even better if they could destroy the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Le'an Mansion while also planning on getting a noble lady into the mansion.

When paying respects to the Queen, Concubine Chen proposed to hold a flower viewing banquet! Unexpectedly, as soon as she proposed it, it was unanimously agreed by all the queens, and even Concubine Zhao did not object.

She understood it instantly. The other concubines probably had the same idea as her. They wanted to observe the character of the concubines more. If there were any flaws in their character and morals, they could replace them in time!

This is why the banquet was held smoothly!

Cui Xiaoxiao saw the two men looking at them frequently, or more precisely, their eyes fell on her, and she instantly became alert. Could someone be plotting against her? No way? She was a small transparent existence among these girls, and there was nothing worthy of the attention of these two big men.

Before she could figure it out, a eunuch sang that the princes had arrived. All the concubines straightened their backs and became dignified, and even slightly adjusted their appearance!

Seeing most of the adult princes appear together, not to mention the oppressive feeling of the princes who came from the Tianhuang noble family and had excellent image and temperament, even the visual impact was enormous.

These people are not only good-looking, but also have everything, including money and power. One of them may even be the next ruler of the world. When these ladies thought that these people might be their future husbands, their eyes were almost full of stars.

The princes all began to pay their respects to their mothers, and the concubines finally reacted and began to bow and pay their respects to the princes.

After sitting down again, Cui Xiaoxiao and the other person began to talk in a low voice again.

"My eyes are wide open. They are all a bunch of losers!"

"Huh? You can't blame them! Those people have everything they want and they look good. Who wouldn't be confused when seeing them?" Cui Xiaoxiao retorted. People like them are abnormal!

"Then why didn't I see you confused?" The cold and beautiful girl turned and looked at her.

"You're talking about me? Who said I'm not confused? I am quite confused!" If you don't believe me, look at my eyes.

"......!" The girl was speechless when she saw her clear and smiling eyes.

"Really, really! Look, I like the majestic and domineering aura of the one in black, the rich and powerful one in red, and the noble, gentle and tender one in blue. The facial features of the one at the back are so three-dimensional and delicate, I like them too...." Cui Xiaoxiao was afraid that she would not believe it, so she pointed them out one by one.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough!" The girl almost choked to death on a mouthful of tea. She lowered her head, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and coughed a few times to relieve the pain. Looking up, tears welled up in her eyes, she looked at her with a hard word: "Next time you say these words, say hello first, I promise not to drink the tea."

"Okay, but you're being too weird! Don't you like it?"

"I like it!" She rolled her eyes halfway, then thought that this was not appropriate in this occasion, so she lowered her head and silently withdrew her eyes.

"Why haven't I seen you before? If I had known you earlier, I wouldn't have found these parties so boring." She really thought so.
