"Your Majesty." Lu Siyue walked to Prince Ning: "Everyone has entered the inner hall, let's go in too."
"When did the relationship between Siyue and An Ying become so good?" Prince Ning He regained his composure and walked side by side with Lu Siyue: "Why didn't you tell me these things?"
"It happened in the past two months." Lu Siyue said with a smile: "Concubine How to get the inner house The female family bothers the prince with trivial matters."
"Really?" Prince Ning helped Lu Siyue cross the threshold and let go of her hand: "I thought the princess was hiding it on purpose, just like..."< br>
He lowered his voice: "It's like I didn't know when the princess had such a good relationship with Yun Fuyi. In front of everyone, I would rather ruin my reputation than speak for her."
"I don't know that the prince has ever had a relationship with Fu Yi." Lu Siyue covered her face with a fan, "The prince is not welcomed everywhere in the capital. If it weren't for Fu Yi's sake, how would the women in the capital treat me? So close?”
Prince Ning looked at her deeply and said nothing.
Lu Siyue smiled gracefully, held up her skirt and sat down, nodding gently to Princess Kangyang sitting next to her.
Since that Cuju competition, more and more people in the clan have sent her messages, and some people have taken the initiative to talk to her at banquets, so she has never been coldly treated or embarrassed again.
In the past few months after she got married in the capital, the Lu family stayed away from her, and the royal family members were jealous of her. Prince Ning only had a superficial relationship with her, and she was not allowed to have contact with many affairs in the palace. The Lu family needs a reputation as a gentleman who keeps his word, and Prince Ning needs a princess of noble birth, but no one cares about her own happiness and anger.
Until...
She looked at Yun Fuyi until she appeared.
Fuyi saw Lu Siyue looking at him and raised his wine glass towards her. The two of them looked at each other, smiled, and raised their heads to drink.
"Fu Yi." Cao Sanlang carried the wine bottle and squeezed to Fu Yi's side and sat down: "Congratulations on your archery skills improving again."
"Tell me the important point." Fu Yi saw The playful smile on his face showed that he wanted something from me.
"Are you okay tomorrow?" Cao Sanlang helped her fill up the wine: "I organized a Cuju competition with others, you come and help me play."
"I'm not free tomorrow."
"Fifty taels." Cao Sanlang made a sign of five.
"It's not about money, the main thing is..."
"One hundred taels..."
"Okay, I'll help you play half-time." Fuyi picked up the wine glass: "It doesn't matter whether it's money or not, it's mainly because of our many years of friendship."
"Thank you, boss." Cao Sanlang With a smile on his face, he said: "I knew you wouldn't do anything to save me."
"Step back." Fuyi waved his hand.
"Okay!" Cao Sanlang gave an exaggerated salute, turned around and ran away with the wine bottle in his arms. He accidentally bumped into a palace maid. The wine bottle in the palace lady's hand was knocked over and the wine spilled all over the floor. , and a lot of it splashed on Cao Sanlang and an envoy.
“Please forgive me!” The palace maid was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"It's because he walks without eyes. It has nothing to do with you. Clean up the things on the ground and go down to change clothes." Fuyi glared at Cao Sanlang angrily: "Don't be rash at the state banquet."
Cao Sanlang He apologized to the envoy who was implicated, and the envoy smiled and said it was okay.
"Girl, we meet again." When the envoy saw Fu Yi, the smile on his face was a little brighter: "I didn't expect that the girl was the noble princess of Dalong. Thank you for your guidance last time. Road."
Cao Sanlang looked at Fu Yi with his eyes and asked her: Do you know this person?
Fuyi shook his head slightly.
"Princess, I am the grandson of Nanxu Kingdom. I came to Dalong this time not only to congratulate His Highness the Crown Prince of your country, but also to stay in Dalong and learn your beautiful culture." Nanxu Wangsun saw that Fuyi was not there Thinking of himself, he explained: "Princess, do you still remember that you helped me show the way outside Jingzhao Mansion a few days ago? "
"It turns out to be you." Fuyi nodded politely to him: "Did Wangsun find Caiyinfang? "
Nanxu Kingdom is adjacent to Dalong and Liyan Kingdom, but it is small and weak. , neither dared to offend Liyan Kingdom nor Dalong. They have been fawning over these years and trying to protect themselves.
“Fortunately, the princess showed me the way, and I found it successfully.”
“Wang Sun’s Dalong speaks very well, and his accent is no different from us Long Dynasty people.” Fuyi lowered his head and looked He glanced at the palace maid who was kneeling on the ground to clean up the broken wine bottles, frowned slightly, and said: "Stop cleaning up now, come out with me."
The palace maid shivered with fear and said with a pale face: "I obey, my slave."
She winked at Cao Sanlang and led the palace maid through the side door to a quiet place at the back.
"Princess, you...do you have any orders?" The palace maid shrank her shoulders and looked at the silent surroundings, her voice trembling even more.
“No one of the palace attendants in the Long Dynasty dared to stick out their buttocks in front of the nobles. This is a taboo.” He brushed his clothes and took off the shawl hanging between his arms: “You sneaked into the palace banquet. What purpose?"< br>
"I beg the princess to forgive me. I was afraid for a moment and forgot the rules in the palace. I beg the princess to forgive my unintentional mistake." The palace maid was so frightened that she knelt down and knocked her head on the ground. ring.
Footsteps were heard not far away, and the palace maid loudly said in a tearful voice: "Please be clear to me, Princess, that I have no intention of seducing you, please spare me."
Fuyi He looked up at Sui Tingheng and Cao Sanlang who were standing not far away and chuckled.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" The maid found the Crown Prince's figure, and with the blood on her face, she knelt down in front of Sui Tingheng: "Please, Your Highness the Crown Prince, save this slave."
Sui Ting Heng took a few steps to avoid letting the palace maid hug his legs. "Your Highness the Crown Prince." Sensing Sui Tingheng's movements, the palace maid no longer approached him, but cried: "Please tell me from the Crown Prince, I am from a humble background, how dare I touch a nobleman, but the princess said that my heart is as high as the sky, and I still can't." Talking about slaves...calling slaves despicable."
At this point, the palace maid was crying, as if she had suffered endless grievances.
Seeing the performance of the palace maid who was both good at singing and singing, Fu Yi threw the silk in his hand to Cao Sanlang, bent down and pinched the maid's chin, smiled into her tearful eyes and said, "Although you don't She understands the rules of the palace, but she is quite familiar with the methods of the palace."
The palace maid cried without saying a word, and only asked Sui Tingheng for help with her eyes that looked pitiful to me.
Sui Tingheng raised his hand towards the darkness, and two imperial guards wearing cloud pattern robes appeared and walked towards the palace maid with a sullen face.
Realizing that the prince did not believe his words, the palace goddess became emotional, pulled out the silver hairpin from her hair and stabbed Fuyi.
"Fuyi!" Sui Tingheng's expression changed drastically and he ran towards Fuyi.
"You are a man." Fuyi was on guard for a long time. The moment "she" pulled out her hairpin, he kicked "her" in the chest. The palace maid looked up and fell, two circles falling out. Round ball of cloth.
Fu Yi picked up the ball of cloth and stuffed it into the mouth of the "palace maid" to prevent him from making any noise and startling the guests in the front hall. When the imperial guards took the man into custody, they took off the man's outer robe and saw a flat chest.
“Boss!” Cao Sanlang was so startled when he saw Fu Yi taking off her clothes, he blocked her eyes with a shawl and whispered: “Ahem, the Crown Prince is still here, you Be more restrained.”
< br>"Take the person to the heavenly prison for severe torture, and arrange the female guard into the inner hall. Before the banquet is over, no panic can be caused." Sui Tingheng didn't even look at the assassin, and walked to Fuyi: "You Are you injured?”
"Your Highness, don't worry, I am fine." Fu Yi said thoughtfully: "Fortunately, the Queen has eliminated all kinds of forces in the palace. It is not easy for outsiders to sneak in without being discovered. "
People in the palace are cautious in their bones. No matter how much people outside pretend to be, they can't pretend to be careful and cautious as palace attendants.
"Your Highness." Mo Wen hurried over and whispered: "There is nothing wrong with the wine that the palace maid spilled, but there is a trace amount of venom on the wine pot, which can make people coma for several days but is not fatal. Today There are many envoys from various countries. It is very likely that this person was brought in by an envoy. "Come here."
Sui Tingheng didn't say anything. He looked at Fuyi who was arranging her shawl, and reached out to help her smooth the wrinkles on her shawl: "Fuyi, I'll accompany you back to the inner hall." ”
In a place full of power, there is never peace.
Fuyi turned his head and glanced at Sui Tingheng. The fake palace maid had said so much just now, but the prince didn't even seem to change his expression. How could he believe her so much?
After the palace banquet ended safely, the identity of the assassin was already placed on the imperial case.
"Duozhu Country?" Sui Tingheng put the investigation report back on the table: "Duozhu and I, Dalong, have been friends for many years, and the land is small and sparsely populated. There is no need for them to do such a thing."< br>
“I also think it’s unlikely to be them.” The emperor sighed: “Liyan Kingdom is eyeing "Jui, they had a bad harvest last year. If something happens to Liyan's envoys at the palace banquet, a war will be inevitable."
Liyan is short of food and grass, and Dalong's treasury is empty. Now the two countries can barely survive. There is a superficial balance, but both sides know that this balance will not last long.
"Father, today Li Yanguo suffered a loss at the hands of Fu Yi but did not bear it, which shows that he has something to ask for from us." Sui Tingheng looked calm: "If you ask for something, there will be a weakness. King Liyan is old, and his The sons are all very ambitious."
"Leave this matter to you." The emperor was most afraid of doing things that use his brain. He said without hesitation. If it doesn't work, I will fight with them. When the time comes, I will fight in person."
Sui Tingheng said with a straight face: "Father, it's late at night, you should go to bed early."
Emperor: "..."
My son is different. You can tell him directly that he is dreaming, but you still have to tactfully persuade him to go to bed early.
How can this not be considered filial piety?
Out of the imperial study, Sui Tingheng sat on the chariot, thinking about how she didn't even have a single explanation when the assassin slandered Fu Yi.
"Mo Wen."
"Your Highness?" Mo Wen saw the cold His Highness suddenly looking at him, and quickly bowed to wait for his instructions.
“If someone slanders you, and there is another person present next to you, but you are unwilling to explain, why?”
Mo Wen thought for a moment: "Maybe... I don't care about that person's misunderstanding?"
After replying this sentence, he waited for a long time before the prince spoke. He was about to look up at the prince cautiously, and then Hear the prince ask: "Isn't there a second possibility?"
"It's also possible... It's also possible that the slave believes that this person will not misunderstand the slave." Mo Wen had a flash of inspiration: " For example, no matter what others say, I will only believe your words."
Sui Tingheng's eyebrows slowly opened: "You are right."
The palace road became quiet again. , until the chariot stopped at Chenxi Palace, Mo Wen bowed and held the palace lantern to illuminate His Highness, when His Highness suddenly spoke again: "Have you ever received a gift made for you by others?"
"Your Highness, I am an eunuch, how could anyone give me such a thoughtful gift?" Mo Wen vaguely noticed that something was wrong with the prince: "Your Highness, which gift do you want to see? I remember several princesses and county masters. All for you."
Sui Tingheng glanced at him.
Mo Wen felt that His Highness looked at him a little coldly, as if he was not satisfied with his answer.
Mo Wen swallowed: "Your Highness?"
"Nothing." Sui Tingheng touched the purse containing jade beads around his waist and walked to the backyard to water the flowers and plants.
It's rare for Fuyi to take the time to carve jade beads for him.
He gently stroked the flowers and leaves, wondering when they would bloom?
