Seeing Jiamin come in, Hua Liuli winked at her.

After saluting everyone present, Jiamin sat down beside her and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

"Let you come and watch the fun." Hua Liuli replied in a low voice, "Aren't you two enemies?"

"Thank you." Jiamin suddenly realized that the prince would suddenly send someone over to invite their family to enter the palace earlier, because their family offended the prince a few years ago, and now seeing that the prince sent someone to talk to them, their family is indifferent. Said, and took a carriage into the palace.

I didn't expect to see such a good show.

Seeing Shun'an's family coming in, Concubine Xian's eyes were about to pop out.

It's not that Princess Shun'an has always hated the prince, and she has repeatedly expressed that she wants to help her compete with Ming Hao for the crown. Why is she so polite when facing the prince today

"Fortunately, His Royal Highness reminded us, otherwise our family would be late today." Princess Shun'an smiled and handed a wooden box to the attendant in the East Palace, "His Royal Highness's rejoicing day is just around the corner, and it is time to spend money. As an aunt, I have nothing to give you, here are some jewelry, it is my aunt to help you prepare a gift for your daughter-in-law in advance."

"Thank you auntie, how could I be so embarrassed to let you spend money?" The prince said that he was embarrassed, but the prince still asked the attendant to take the gift box.

Seeing that the prince was willing to accept the gift, Shun'an's heart was only half relieved. She has always had a bad attitude towards the prince over the years, and the prince didn't pay much attention to her. She was quite worried that the prince would not let her down the stairs today, but she didn't expect the other party to be surprised. good talk.

It was so good that she was a little flattered.

"I can't speak my mind, and I have a bad temper. Fortunately, I have the empress dowager, the emperor's brother, and the prince's tolerance, so I can have such a comfortable life." Shun'an's cheeks flushed, "I have offended you for so many years, please also please. The prince forgives my aunt."

"Auntie's words are serious, it's not a big deal for my family to quarrel." The prince turned to look at Hua Liuli who was talking to Jiamin in a low voice, and smiled lightly, "Moreover, Jiamin's cousin is a close friend of the lonely future wife, what happened in the past? , no need to mention it again.”

Shun'an knew in her heart that she did not have much aunt and nephew friendship with the prince. The prince's words almost made it clear to her that he did not want to pursue the past because of his relationship with the future prince.

In front of Concubine Xian and Concubine Rong, the prince said the words directly. If she agreed, she would almost announce to everyone in the capital that Princess Shun'an's mansion was tied to the Hua family.

"Thanks to the Fushou County Master, our children have become more obedient and sensible." Yao Concubine continued, and smiled regretfully, "We also like the Fushou County Master too much."

"Yeah." Shun An seemed to have made up her mind. She smiled and looked at her daughter and Princess Fushou, "I just hate that she is not my daughter."

Concubine Rong lowered her head and drank tea silently. She glanced sideways at Concubine Xian, who was a little stunned, and followed suit and praised the Princess Fushou.

Concubine Xian smiled reluctantly, feeling that she could not boast.

Okay, why did her ally run away when she said she ran, and she ran in front of her, doesn't she want to lose face

Princess Shun'an's statement that she is friendly with the future crown princess represents not only herself, but also the Yao family behind Yao's concubine.

No, she heard that the son of the Yao family had taken the test of the palace and had a very good relationship with Hua Changkong, who had taken the exam.

The world... how come there are so many coincidences

She looked at Yao Jiamin and Hua Liuli suspiciously. At first, Jiamin was dissatisfied with Hua Liuli everywhere, so how could she become her best friend in the blink of an eye

Between women, isn't it less pleasing to the eye

This is not in line with the rules of the palace fight.

When she saw herself in the play, she was not so happy. Concubine Xian stood up and said, "His Royal Highness, I still have things to deal with in my palace. Let's go first."

If she doesn't leave again, her view of palace fighting will be drastically changed.

When I am in a bad mood, I am even more unpleasant when I look at Le Yang. Concubine Xian shook her fan, snorted at the couple who were still kneeling, and turned away.

Well, the women in the harem use rotten means.

But this trick can only be used by those who still care about you and who are sympathetic.

Does the prince meet the first rule or the second rule

Xie Consort Ma, a scholar from the south, thought that the prince valued reputation. But he didn't think about it, if the prince really cared about his reputation so much, he wouldn't do things so casually.

What's more, even if the Crown Prince has a bad reputation, doesn't His Majesty still love this son the most

Thinking of this, Concubine Xian felt even more unhappy.

Let's say His Majesty doesn't care about looks. His favorite son is the best-looking among the children. Let's say that he values appearance, he is not bad to several concubines in the harem, and it is not because who is the most beautiful, he is more favored.

The emperor's heart, the needle of the seabed.

It is really incomprehensible, incomprehensible.

Emperor Changlong came down from the top, and the palace maids and eunuchs waited on him to change the dragon robe and crown. He walked to the imperial desk and sat down. Seeing that the room was empty and the prince was not there, he asked, "The prince didn't come to court today, nor was he in the imperial study, what are you doing?"

"Your Majesty, at dawn today, the eldest princess Leyang and her consort knelt down in the East Palace to plead guilty to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Zhao Sancai put the nourishing tea in Emperor Changlong's hand and whispered, "Concubine Xian, Empress and Rong The concubine just happened to visit His Highness again, and the Fifth Prince went to greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so if you think about it, it will be delayed."

"What do you want to see and please, I see them just to see the fun." Emperor Changlong exposed the matter mercilessly, "I ignored these two people yesterday, why did they kneel to the East Palace?"

"Last night, His Royal Highness encountered Concubine Xie on the way, and when he learned that he was kneeling outside your palace, he said a few words to Concubine Xie." Zhao Sancai repeated what the Prince said, "His Royal Highness is filial to you."

His Majesty has always been benevolent, and the Crown Prince was afraid that Xie Consort Ma would kneel outside Chenyang Palace for a long time and affect His Majesty's reputation.

"Nonsense, if outsiders think that he forced the elders to kneel, it will be good to spread it out?" Emperor Changlong frowned, "Go and handle it yourself, you can't let these news spread outside the palace."

"Yes." Zhao Sancai agreed politely.

Behind every daring child, there is a father who protects the child. The prince dared to do this, and made it clear that he was not worried about the rumors spreading.

"As for Leyang and Consort Xie, if they want to kneel, let them kneel, and they don't have to go to the Hundred Nations Banquet tonight." Emperor Changlong's tone was not serious, but the words he said almost made Leyang the princess' residence. After falling sharply, "Leyang has no way to teach the daughter and murder the prince. It is unbearable to be a model for the princess. She has taken away the title of the eldest princess. In the future, she will only be called the princess, and the food will be reduced by half. Before the Qing Dynasty, the Leyang family was not allowed to leave Beijing."

"Your Majesty, is this an oral decree or a decree sent to each department?" An oral decree is to be handled quietly. If it is officially issued, the content of the decree must be registered and copied into the royal archives, so that future generations can read it even after thousands of years.

"It has something to do with the promotion of the Royal Lady's title, and the oral decree is not solemn enough." Emperor Changlong said calmly, "I will personally draft the decree and let the Ministry of Rites issue it."

The imperial decree was written by His Majesty himself...

It seems that His Majesty has already hated his sister and brother-in-law regardless of whether this case has anything to do with the Xie family.

At the moment, the East Palace is very lively. I don't know where King Ning got the news and rushed over. When others came, they also brought a lot of ingredients, saying that they were fresh mountain treasures that had just been obtained, so that the prince could have a taste.

Not long after, even Concubine Shu, who didn't like to go out on weekdays, also followed. She is the biological mother of the Fifth Prince. She speaks and does things like her title on weekdays. She is as gentle as water, with a bit of elegance that radiates from her bones.

This is probably the most lively day in the East Palace during the new year.

The prince was in a good mood, so he simply asked the cook from the East Palace to process the ingredients sent by King Ning, and put it on a table at noon, so that these theatergoers could continue watching after their lunch was full.

Shun An's mood was very complicated. This was the first time she stayed in the East Palace for dinner.

If it wasn't for Princess Fushou, I'm afraid she would never have this chance. Although she always said that most of the princes in history who were raised by the emperor himself had no good end.

But she vaguely understood in her heart that the emperor's brother was different from those emperors, and Ji Yuansu was also different from those tragic princes in history.

One leaf blinds her eyes. She used to look at the prince who was not pleasing to the eye. Now, when she sees the prince, she feels that even if he has a bad temper, it is not a big problem.

I only hope that the crown prince can successfully ascend the throne, and the princess of Fushou can successfully become the queen, so that even if she is old, Jiamin can have one more strong support.

As it approached noon, Hua Liuli whispered a few words in the prince's ear, got up and walked outside. Seeing Princess Leyang kneeling in the sun, sweating profusely, with a haggard expression, she stepped forward and said, "His Royal Highness, Princess Consort, is here. A banquet has been prepared in the house, so please get up and have dinner with us."

Princess Leyang ignored her.

Hua Liuli was not annoyed, she turned her head to persuade Xie Concubine: "The eldest princess is a girl, and kneeling for so long is not good for your health. What else can you do after dinner, okay?"

"Can His Highness the Crown Prince forgive the sinner's family?" Xie Consort knelt on the ground and put the other hand behind Princess Leyang's waist. Her fair face was flushed, but she was not sweating.

"Thank you, concubine, the case of the assassination of the prince by your concubine has been found out by the Dali Temple. How can you forgive or not?" Hua Liuli sighed, "His Royal Highness cares about your body, but you are relying on His Highness to be soft-hearted, so forcing His Highness?"

"Your child is a child, and His Highness is also His Majesty's child. If His Highness has three strengths and two weaknesses, how sad will His Majesty be? How much turmoil will it cause in the court?" She looked at the two in disappointment, "The court is turbulent, and the hardship is It will be the common people, how can you bear it?"

Really still acting, sometimes you can see it at a glance. People who are really guilty have no face to see the person involved at all, and have already tried their best to make up for it. The couple knelt at the gate of the East Palace on purpose. Did they kneel for His Highness to see

No, they wanted to kneel and show others how pitiful and innocent they were, and how aggressive the prince was.

If someone like this was in the military camp, they would have been beaten to the point of crying.

She felt disgusted when she thought that the prince was almost killed by this family.

"Since the two are not hungry and don't want to eat, then the minister will not force you." Hua Liuli slowly shook her head, looking very helpless, "The minister will come to see you in a while, and I hope you can change your mind."

Le Yang stared at Hua Liuli feebly, wanting her to hurry up.

But before the time for two sticks of incense, Hua Liuli came out again, and behind her was a row of delicious foods and dew to quench her thirst.

After two hours in the sun, Le Yang, whose mouth was already dry, looked at the honeydew and nuts in the glass cup, and his throat was a little smokey.

"His Royal Highness Princess, don't you really want to take a sip?" Hua Liuli squatted in front of Princess Leyang and brought honey dew to Leyang's mouth.

Le Yang said in a hoarse voice, "Take it away for this palace."

"It turns out that Her Royal Highness is not thirsty." Hua Liuli gave the honeydew to Iris, and then changed to a plate of food with all the colors and flavors: "This chicken marrow shoots taste very good, would you like to try it, Princess?"

Le Yang ignored it, and his face became even more gloomy.

"Then this Hongmeizhuxiang, would you like a bite?" Seeing that Leyang was still ignoring herself, Hua Liuli's smile became more gentle, she brought one dish to Leyang, and then slowly let people take it Open, very patient, like coaxing a rogue child.

"But these dishes prepared by the East Palace are not to your taste?" Hua Liuli thought for a while, "Then the princess told the servant girl, what do you like, the servant girl will ask the cook to do it."

"Go away!" Le Yang couldn't bear it any longer, and looking at Hua Liuli's half-smile expression, he knew that the other party was deliberately disgusting himself, and reached out to push people away.

"Ah!" Iris suddenly screamed, "His Royal Highness Princess, what are you doing?"

The people who were talking in the room heard these screams and quickly got up to look, only to see Fushou County Lord lying weakly under the scorching sun, with a plate full of cakes falling on the ground.

Princess Leyang's expression was distorted, and when she saw them coming out, she hurriedly hid her hands behind her.

"Auntie!" The prince was furious, and hurried to Hua Liuli's side and helped her up from the ground, "The county master kindly advised you to eat, but you hurt others, it seems that you didn't want to make amends for Gu, but deliberately embarrass Gu Gu. The future princess."

"You don't have to kneel at the gate of the East Palace, you can't stand it alone, please come back!"

Jiamin turned her head to see that the others present showed angry expressions, and silently took a step back into the corner.

Appeared, and the weak and helpless Hua Liuli finally appeared again.

At this moment, she is the snow in the sun, the duckweed on the water, and the dandelion in the wind.

At this moment, she is weak and invincible!

With a thud, facing the accusing eyes of many people, Le Yang, who was furious, finally fell to the ground.

"If you hurt someone, pretend to faint, so shameless."

Jiamin glanced at the fifth prince who said this, and then at Hua Liuli, who was being protected by the prince, and nodded silently, silently.

The author has something to say: Hua Liuli: Silently opened the countless pages of the book of revenge.

Carmine: Oh, stupid mortal.
