Han Yan looked at everyone boredly, and was about to take a look at Zhuang Hanming, but in a blink of an eye, he found that there was no shadow of Zhuang Hanming at the banquet. My heart suddenly dropped.
Although Zhuang Hanming was naughty, he kept the rules and regulations in big scenes, so it was naturally impossible for him to sneak out on his own. Han Yan waited for a long time, but there was no sign of him coming back. She couldn't hold it any longer, so she claimed that she was going to the clean room and took Ji Lanshuhong out of the hall.
Zhuang Yushan only heard Zhuang Yushan cancel a few words later. At this moment, Han Yan had no intention of care and only focused on Zhuang Hanming. The small house in the palace is even more dangerous. Han Ming is the reason for her to live. He is the person she must protect with all her strength. If something happens here, she doesn't know what to do.
Apart from the guards, there were very few eunuchs and maids around the palace banquet. Han Yan couldn't help but go directly to ask about Zhuang Hanming's whereabouts. After wandering around for a few times, he unexpectedly came to a place like an imperial garden. He didn't know where he was.
It's winter, and the night wind brings coolness, so cold that it can penetrate into the cracks of one's bones. Han Yan felt that his hair was wet from the cold dew in the garden, and his fingers were cold. He subconsciously wanted to touch the heater, but found that he didn't have it with him at all. Ji Lan stretched his neck and looked around, and said, "Miss, don't worry, it's pitch dark here, there are lights in front of you, let's follow the light and walk over there. Be careful not to fall."
Han Yan was anxious in her heart, and her feet were a little hurried. She took a few steps towards the bright place, and Shu Hong suddenly said: "There is a sound over there!"
Han Yan's heart tightened, and she signaled Ji Lan and Shu Hong to slow down and lean over.
Walking around in the palace is to treat yourself as blind and deaf. If this happened before, Han Yan would have been too late to avoid it, so he would risk being discovered and approach. But when I think of Brother Ming, my heart feels like it's been set on fire, and I'm extremely anxious.
Shu Hong walked at the front. When she got closer and closer, she stopped, then turned her head and mouthed three words silently to Han Yan: "Found it."
Han Yan was overjoyed to find Brother Ming, as if all the weight on her shoulders had been lifted off her shoulders. She was about to speak when she saw Shu Hong stopping her movement with a very strange look on her face.
Han Yan was stunned, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart. He immediately took two steps forward and pushed Shu Hong aside so that he could see clearly what was ahead.
Under the dim light of the palace lantern, several teenagers were gathering together, not knowing what to do. One of them was pushed onto the rockery. The rosin-colored soft silk gown looked familiar.
The tallest young man in pink clothes stood in front of the rockery, his tone was arrogant, and there was a twisted evil smile on his originally handsome face: "Zhuang Hanming, don't think that you dare to act in front of me just because you are a legitimate son, your sister It doesn’t matter that she is the legitimate daughter, everyone knows that she is not favored, but I insist on saying that she is ugly, stupid and lowly, what will you do to me?”
But he saw that the boy who was pushed against the mountain had red eyes and five bright red slap marks on his fair face, which were extremely dazzling under the lantern.
"You're not allowed to say that!" Zhuang Hanming glared at the person in front of him fiercely, and wanted to give him a lap, but his limbs were held down by the other people, unable to move, so he could only curse angrily: "Bullying a small number with more people is nothing! Zhang Wei ! If you have the ability, you can compete with me alone!"
The boy in pink clothes smiled when he heard this and said mockingly: "You still want to fight alone with me, how can you be as stupid as your sister!"
Han Yan only took one glance and immediately recognized who these people were. Zhou's elder sister, Da Zhou, married Taishi Zhang as a concubine. These young men are the sons of Da Zhou, that is, Zhou's nephews. Although he was a concubine, Grand Master Zhang loved this concubine very much, and he also doted on these concubines extremely. Since Zhou entered the house in the previous life, these young men sometimes went to the Zhuang Mansion and often had disputes with Zhuang Hanming. Zhuang Shiyang punished Zhuang Hanming severely every time, so Hanming didn't care much about these cheap cousins. friendly. But every time after being punished, Zhou's mother and daughter would come to her to express their apologies, which made Han Yan feel embarrassed. Now it seems that every dispute they had in the past turned out to be like this!
The man in pink is Zhang Wei, Zhou's eldest nephew. He is usually a competitive libertine, but now he joins other brothers to bully Zhuang Hanming. Han Yan narrowed his eyes, but why is the prince here too
Zhang Wei targeted Han Ming, and even thinking about it with his head, he knew it was Zhou's instruction. But when he saw Zhuang Hanming being restrained on the rockery, refusing to give in in order to protect himself, Han Yan felt sour in his heart.
She is not a good sister, so she is so tired that her younger brother is bullied and beaten in order to protect herself. If she had the ability, how could these people feel like they were bullying Zhuang Hanming!
Han Yan clenched her fists and looked at the bright yellow eyes on one side. No matter why the prince appeared here today, she would settle Zhuang Hanming's account today!
Taking a deep breath, Han Yan slowly walked out from the depths of the garden with his hands behind his back and spoke softly. The clear voice fell very clearly in the empty night.
"You are all so interested. You would rather skip the palace banquet and take my brother to this place. It's just a cold winter breeze, and there are no flowers to enjoy at this moment. I don't know what's going on?"
It was a cold winter night, and the tone of the girl's voice was bright and relaxed, but there was no trace of warmth. The words were obviously ordinary, but they inexplicably made everyone present feel shocked.
As soon as Zhang Wei raised his head, he saw Han Yan Shi Shiran walking out from behind the flower garden, wearing bright clothes and slightly raising the corners of his lips. There was a trace of anger in his eyebrows that he had not seen before, which made him shrink back for no reason.
Within a moment, he came to his senses and squinted at Han Yan: "Oh, it turns out she's my cousin."
Han Yan walked to him and stopped. Ji Lan and Shu Hong stood in front of Han Yan to prevent Zhang Wei from suddenly attacking.
"Cousin is so interested. What are you doing with your fifth brother?" Zhang Wei is two years older than Han Yan, so Han Yan is not bad at calling her cousin.
The other teenagers didn't say anything, they just looked at Han Yan. Zhang Wei was their leader, so they subconsciously surrounded Han Yan and the three of them.
Zhang Wei didn't seem to want to stay any longer. He glanced at Han Yan and said casually: "My cousin and I just came here to say a few words. My cousin has nothing to do, so I'll take the first step." After saying this, he grabbed Zhuang Hanming's hand by the collar. Once loosened, lift your feet and leave.
"Wait a minute." Han Yan suddenly said.
Zhang Wei was stunned, as if he didn't expect Han Yan to stop him, and replied impatiently: "What to do?"
Han Yan glanced at the prince who was looking over here with a smile, and saw an expression of gloating on his slightly immature face. Han Yan didn't think that the relationship between Zhang Wei and the prince had become so good. The prince's attitude towards watching the show seemed to be just for fun.
Han Yan walked up to Zhuang Hanming and stretched out her hand to touch his right cheek. The hot touch and swollen red mark under her hand silently said everything. Han Yan took back his hand and said with a smile: "Fifth brother, is that so?"
