Jiang Yue was awakened by the words of the imperial envoy. The position next to him was given to the young masters from aristocratic families who had returned from hunting today.
Jiang Yue nodded: "Xiao Qi, let's go to Princess Cheng."
Wen Qingzhu bowed and Shi Shiran walked towards Concubine Cheng.
Concubine Cheng arrived early, and when she saw Wen Qingzhu coming, she asked her to sit down with a clear heart.
The eldest princess below looked solemn, she finally remembered.
She had met Wen Qingzhu before, and she always felt an inexplicable affinity for him.
Now it seems that Wen Qingzhu's appearance and temperament are quite similar to those of Concubine Zhou who took care of her back then.
Why did Wen Qingzhu appear here like this
Jiang Wuyang pinched the handkerchief in his hand and glanced at everyone present, fearing that the situation would become more complicated.
The atmosphere of the banquet seemed a bit solemn because of Wen Qingzhu's presence.
After a while, Concubine Li came with Concubine Hui and Concubine Wan.
"I see you, Your Majesty."
After the three of them saluted, Concubine Li stepped forward coquettishly and said, "Your Majesty, does my concubine's makeup look good today?"
"Yes." Jiang Yue nodded, but his eyes were a little wandering.
Concubine Li was immersed in the palace's resources for many years, and she retreated without looking away.
After sitting firmly, he caught a glimpse of Wen Qingzhu sitting upright.
Concubine Li immediately opened her eyes wide: This, this is not...
But fortunately, Concubine Li quickly calmed down her expression.
She looked at Concubine Hui and Concubine Wan Gui again, but didn't find anything strange.
When the time came, the father-in-law who hosted the dinner began to have people carry the prey up.
The most conspicuous one is a black bear locked in an iron prison.
Although he was seriously injured and looked dying, he still scared many people.
The timid lady and lady present immediately exclaimed.
Even Jiang Yue, who was in the main seat, stared intently and couldn't help but said, "Who hunted this black bear?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Prince Ning stood up with a smile on his face and replied: "Reporting to the father, the child hunted it. The child followed the father's teachings and should always maintain a kind heart, so he did not hunt the black bear on the spot."
"Very good!" Jiang Yue stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction.
Everyone present had different expressions. Everyone knew that among the princes, the one with the most murderous intentions was the third prince Jiang Yuanan.
However, Jiang Yue praised King Ning, and all the ministers began to agree with him.
A smile appeared at the corner of Wen Qingzhu's mouth. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yijia next to him suddenly said: "Miss Wen smiles so sarcastically, why is that? Is it to ridicule my father or my brother?"
Jiang Yijia's voice was usually very loud, and many people heard it.
But Wen Qingzhu was not easy to mess with. He instantly looked aggrieved and stood up tremblingly.
Concubine Cheng raised her hand displeasedly, asked Wen Qingzhu to sit down, and said coldly: "Everyone here is laughing, why is Yijia holding on to Miss Wen alone?"
Jiang Yijia was still about to speak, but Concubine Li saw everyone looking over and quickly stood up to explain: "Concubine, please calm down, Yijia was just joking with Miss Wen."
Jiang Yijia, who understood, immediately lowered her head and did not dare to talk back.
Even so, Jiang Yue still looked over.
They were not far apart, but because Jiang Yue was accepting congratulations from the ministers, he didn't notice them.
He sent his father-in-law to ask questions.
Concubine Li looked apologetic and almost wanted to apologize in person. Concubine Cheng didn't want to make things worse, so she simply said a few words and asked her father-in-law to go back.
In the arena where calm had returned, countless eyes were staring at Wen Qingzhu as if nothing else.
He entered the scene with a high profile, and now he made Jiang Yijia unhappy again.
What does Wen Qingzhu want to do
But Wen Qingzhu lowered her head, and no one could see her expression.
The banquet continued, and Jiang Yuancheng presented an elk, which he did not completely kill.
However, with Wang Ning Zhuyu in front of him, Jiang Yue's expression was indifferent and he didn't say much.
Then Zheng Xu and other young masters from aristocratic families presented prey one after another.
However, with the princes at the front, the young masters from aristocratic families did not dare to go beyond the rules, and those behind them were almost meaningless.
However, King Ning noticed that the prince's prey had not been delivered for a long time.
After the last tribute of prey was presented, Prince Ning said seemingly unintentionally: "Your Highness, it seems that your prey hasn't been presented yet?"
Jiang Yuansheng was a little distracted. He quickly stood up and explained: "Reply-"
Before he finished speaking, Fu Lie suddenly stood up and answered for Jiang Yuansheng: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness's prey is somewhat special. He doesn't know whether he should present it, so he is hesitant."
Finally, when the highlight came, Wen Qingzhu raised his eyes.
There was always a smile on her face, but her emotions were invisible.
Jiang Yue was slightly surprised. He knew very well what kind of temperament his eldest son had.
However, Fu Lie's approach made him very satisfied.
Even though he was openly dissatisfied with the prince, he still valued the prince in his heart.
"My dear, just say it." Jiang Yue looked at him quietly.
Fu Lie then raised his hand and asked someone to carry a box up, and there were constant banging sounds inside.
The people present were all curious.
When the box was stable, Fu Lie did not open it in a hurry. Instead, he held up his hand and asked, "Your Majesty, do you still remember that when you were a prince, you hunted a monkey with a tuft of golden hair on its head in the paddock?"
Jiang Yue narrowed his eyes slightly. Not many people knew about this matter. How did Fu Lie know about it
Fu Lie glanced at Jiang Yuansheng and looked at him intently: "Your Highness, the next words are up to you."
As soon as he said this, Fu Lie immediately asked someone to open the box.
The sudden light startled the golden monkey in the alley.
Everyone present, except Fu Xuan who slightly moved his eyebrows, had no idea what he meant.
Only Jiang Yue, who was sitting in the main seat, lost his mind instantly.
He stared closely at the uneasy monkey in the alley. Fu Lie and the others didn't even tie it with a rope.
When everyone was confused, Jiang Yuansheng suddenly knelt down sadly: "Father, my son met this monkey today. He suddenly remembered what his mother told him. He really couldn't bear to hunt it, but he didn't dare not to take it away. Hui, that's why I'm so worried."
There was silence inside the banquet.
Except for Jiang Yue and the prince, Fu Lie and Wen Qingzhu, no one knew the inside story.
Wen Qingzhu raised the tea cup at his hand and took a gentle sip.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Jiang Yue, whose eyes were getting more and more sad. He lowered his head again and pursed his lips, hiding the smile at the corner of his mouth.
It seems that the Crown Princess succeeded.
However, looking at Jiang Yuansheng's acting skills, Wen Qingzhu felt that Jiang Yuansheng in front of him must be planning something.
After putting down the tea cup, Jiang Yue finally spoke: "Give the prince a seat."
The father-in-law who was standing next to Jiang Yue immediately went down and asked Jiang Yuansheng to sit down next to Jiang Yue.
This time, with the Zheng family taking the lead, the ministers began to flatter Jiang Yue's kind heart more enthusiastically.
Prince Ning, who was standing next to him, suddenly turned dark. He never expected that all his limelight would be robbed!
But then he showed an evil smile, and the fun was yet to come.
Prince Ning put on a smile, walked to the Zheng family, and congratulated His Highness the Crown Prince.
Jiang Yuancheng found this matter strange. Jiang Yuansheng seemed to know something that none of them knew.
Seeing Fu Lie standing quietly next to Jiang Yue, Jiang Yuancheng turned to look at Wen Qingzhu next to Princess Cheng.
By coincidence, Wen Qingzhu wanted to see Jiang Yuancheng's reaction.
The two people just looked at each other.
In the flash of lightning, Wen Qingzhu smiled shyly, then lowered his eyebrows.
Jiang Yuancheng held his hands tightly in his sleeves.
Sure enough, it's her again!
The next step is to discuss merit and reward. After Jiang Yue's last talk, the singing and dancing started.
In the name of changing clothes, Wen Qingzhu asked Concubine Cheng for instructions.
Concubine Cheng glanced at Jiang Yijia, who was watching eagerly next to her, and called Liang Pingshu, asking her to follow Wen Qingzhu.
As soon as Wen Qingzhu and Liang Pingshu left the banquet, they were stopped by Jiang Dejia's people!
"Pingshu County Master, please leave first. Our Princess Yijia has something to say to Miss Wen." Ziyu led two guards and stood in front of them unscrupulously.
Liang Pingshu's face suddenly darkened, and she subconsciously touched her waist.
But she found that she was not allowed to bring weapons when entering the venue, and her whip was left in the other courtyard.
"What if I don't leave!" Liang Pingshu was usually very angry, not to mention Jiang Yijia, whom she particularly hated.
Ziyu smiled and took two steps back: "Then let's wait for Her Royal Highness to come over and talk to the county leader."
The atmosphere on both sides suddenly became tense.
Wen Qingzhu frowned slightly, she really wanted to change her clothes.
In order to hide his emotions, I drank an extra cup of tea.
Why is this Jiang Yijia always holding on to her
It was clear that Jiang Dejia and Fu Yu were having a good chat over there just now.
However, they waited and waited, but Jiang Yijia unexpectedly did not show up.
Liang Pingshu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but her face was extremely serious: "If Miss Ziyu insists on blocking it, then don't blame me for being rude!"
Ziyu's face turned a little blue. She glanced behind Wen Qingzhu and felt anxious. Why hasn't His Highness come yet
What they didn't know was that Jiang Yijia was originally coming over.
But Jiang Dejia actually took the initiative to find Miss Fu. Jiang Yijia immediately turned red and followed her.
After waiting for a while, Ziyu finally dared not stop them and could only let them leave.
When they arrived at the clean room, Wen Qingzhu smiled and said, "Wait for me outside. It's really troublesome for the county master."
"You're welcome." Liang Pingshu smiled brightly, not taking this matter to heart at all.
Wen Qingzhu turned around and took Green Tao Jasmine to the clean room.
After retreating from everyone, Wen Qingzhu asked Jasmine through lip language: Didn't anyone on the Prince's side notice you
Jasmine also answered with lip language: Don't worry, miss, everything will go smoothly with Master Fu here.
Wen Qingzhu asked again: What about Miss Twelve
Jasmine nodded: Everything is ready. As long as Master Wan leaves the banquet, we can take action.
Wen Qingzhu nodded and began to change clothes while the two of them waited on him.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Wen Qingzhu had just put on his clothes when Liang Pingshu suddenly shouted from outside the door: "Little thief! Where can you escape!"
Hearing this, Wen Qingzhu was shocked. Someone was coming!
The forces here are complex, and I don’t know which side I will meet.
Wen Qingzhu made a prompt decision and asked Jasmine to stay while she took Lu Tao out through the secret door on the other side.
As soon as he walked out of the house, a long sword with a cold light suddenly appeared across his neck.
"Miss Wen."
A familiar voice rang in his ears, and Wen Qingzhu's heart sank. Why did King Shou take action in advance
Lu Tao, who was following behind, had his eyes widened. Just as he was about to speak, he was knocked unconscious.
Wen Qingzhu looked sideways at the fainted Lu Tao and said coldly: "Now Lu Tao is fainted, take her with you!"
The man in black in front of him raised his eyebrows: "Okay!"
