"What then? We must dispel the king's doubts as soon as possible! ”

"Don't worry, the purpose of our coming here is to convey the news of the country to the Empress Dowager Lu, and not to be discovered is the most important thing. It doesn't matter if the king suspects me. Yifang seemed to be informing Tengling, and seemed to be instructing himself, "We are the family members specially sent by the Empress Dowager Lu, and now three of the five people have gone, and the Empress Dowager Lu will not be able to get by, if the king moves me again, it will be a blatant opposition to the Empress Dowager Lu." Now the strength of Daiguo is not enough to confront Chang'an, the king is a smart person, even if he suspects me of having a personal relationship with Deng Tong, he will not do anything to me. ”

"Beauty, that's the truth, but aren't you sad at all?" Teng Ling obviously asked not about their safety, but about Yifang's own inner feelings.

Yi Fang tried to squeeze out a smile: "What do I have to be sad about, I am just a meticulous worker, I just need to do my own thing and successfully convey important news to Empress Dowager Lu." Everything else doesn't matter to me. ”

"Is that really the case?" Teng Ling directly dismantled the disguise of Yifang, "The beauty obviously cares about the king very much." ”

Yifang raised his head and looked at the sky: "You think about it too much, everything I did to him is just to make it easier for me to get news from the court." But obviously there is no need to do it in the future, let's think carefully and find another way to find out the news. ”

"Beauty, you're obviously sad......" Teng Ling wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Yifang.

"Without the king's favor, it will be more difficult for us to find out the news in the future. But it's also more free, which is a good thing, and I don't have to bother trying to please him anymore, just to be able to settle down, which is what I've been asking for. Yifang was originally explaining to Tengling, but in the end, it became more and more like hinting at himself.

Teng Ling was a little distressed when she looked at her like this, and she didn't know how to comfort her, so she struggled for a long time before finally saying: "Beauty, let's go back to the palace to rest!" ”

After that, Liu Heng really didn't come to Guangyang Hall again, but Yifang thought that he would always give himself some punishment, but he didn't wait. She still had a hint of fantasy in her heart, thinking that Liu Heng was having trouble with her, and if she was awkward, she would naturally come to her. Even if she can't save face, she will be hinted that she will take the initiative to meet him. But all these illusions were shattered after a night party.

The night banquet was presided over by the queen, and it was originally just a small family banquet, but Liu Heng also invited two ministers. I heard that these two ministers are hot figures in the court now, and Liu Heng's favor for the two of them is even close to Ouyang Ziqian, so he even invited them to this kind of family banquet.

The news of Yifang being snubbed by Liu Heng has spread all over the palaces, she originally thought that she didn't need to come to this night banquet, but the queen specially invited her, and she had to reluctantly come forward. She deliberately chose a plain dress for this night banquet, which she and Liu Heng wore when they first met, and even she herself didn't know why she wanted to wear this, maybe she always looked forward to his eyes falling on her again. Teng Ling and Zili both knew it, but Yifang didn't want to admit it.

The singing and dancing at the night banquet were ingenious, and they were completely performances that I had never seen before. Everyone was interested, only Yifang was absent-minded, she glanced at Liu Heng from time to time, but unfortunately she repeated this many times, and never saw his gaze fall on her. Yifang couldn't help but feel lost in his heart, and after reining in his emotions, he finally focused his attention on singing and dancing.

Among these people who perform singing and dancing, there is a singer and the dancer who leads the dance are very outstanding, they are all good-looking, and the singing and dancing are also excellent, and the sweet smile on her face can make people get drunk. Yifang subconsciously glanced at Liu Heng again, his eyes seemed to fall on the two of them, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Yi Fang sighed silently, and a bold conjecture appeared in his heart, his gentle gaze may never fall on him again in the future. Thinking of this, Yi Fang took a sip of wine, and the song and dance stopped abruptly at this moment.

The two ministers were already drunk, and one of them stood up with a smile: "I wonder what the king thinks of the song and dance that the minister prepared for the king?" ”

Liu Heng applauded his face very much: "It's very good, especially the dancing girl who leads the dance, and the singer who stands at the front, not only has excellent singing and dancing skills, but also is a rare beauty." ”

As soon as these words came out, the smile on the minister's face deepened: "The king has good eyesight. This singing is Master Fu's daughter Fu Shengyun, and the dancing one is Wen Xi, the younger sister of the minister. ”

When the concubines present heard him say this, they already knew in their hearts what kind of night banquet this was, it was clear that these two favored ministers had sent a beauty to Liu Heng. But everyone knew in their hearts, but no one dared to say more.

Liu Heng smiled and nodded: "If the beauty is like this, why not enter it early?" ”

"The door is closed again, just waiting for you to open it." Wen Xi responded appropriately.

"Okay, very good, Lord Wen teaches her daughter well." Liu Heng looked very happy, and directly ordered on the spot, "Wu Ping, pass the decree, seal Wenxi as his wife, give him the name 'Jade', and then seal Fu Shengyun as the seventh son, and give him the name 'Jing'." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The two new concubines seemed to have prepared in advance, and they were not surprised at this time, and bowed generously.

Many of the people present looked at Yifang, everyone knew that she was almost alone in the past, and now she was just left out for a few days, and Liu Heng accepted a newcomer. This is also an indirect way to inform everyone that Yifang will never have a future from now on.

"Your Majesty, the concubine has just drunk too much wine, and she is a little unwell, so she wants to go back and rest first." Yifang didn't care about these things before, but now she felt that these eyes were like a knife piercing her body, and she really didn't want to stay here anymore.

"Well, let's go back!" Liu Heng glanced at her lightly, answered indifferently, and then turned his gaze to the newly sealed Jade Lady.

Yifang turned to leave, but her heart shrank suddenly, and Liu Heng's cold appearance was deeply imprinted in her mind, and she couldn't dissipate it after walking on the palace road for a long time.

"Beauty, is the king really so affectionate?" Teng Ling also saw Yifang's sadness, but he didn't know what to say at this time.

Zili hurriedly gave her a look, and Teng Ling pursed her mouth and didn't say much.

After a long while, Yifang finally spoke, but his voice was very calm, as if it was none of his business: "The king is a new beauty, so naturally all his thoughts are on the newcomer, which is just convenient for us to find a new way to deliver news, which is a good thing." Yes, that's a good thing. ”

Yifang emphasized several times, as if only by constantly telling herself like this could she believe that she really thought this in her heart. Teng Ling and Zili looked at each other, knowing in their hearts, but they couldn't say nice words to comfort her. They knew that Yifang had always been smart, and she must have understood this matter, but she had been holding on, unwilling to reveal the fragile side of her heart.

After a few days of silence in the Guangyang Palace, Tengling and Zili really couldn't stand it. Since returning from that night banquet, Yifang has always been alone in the room, in the name of quietly thinking about how to deliver news, but more often than not, he is looking out of the window in a daze.

"Beauty, the weather is just right today, let's go out for a walk!" Teng Ling and Zi Li discussed that they must let Yifang go out for a walk today, at least to bask in the sun in the yard. Being stuffy in the house for such a long time will suffocate people.

"If you want to go, you can go, I won't go." Yi Fang was fiddling with a pot of flowers on the table, just gently caressing the petals, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and the expression on his face was faint.

Teng Ling had to persuade a few more words, but Zili quickly grabbed her and pulled her out of the door half-dragged.

"Sister Zili, what are you doing? Didn't we say we wanted to let the beauty go out for a walk? Teng Ling looked dissatisfied.

"I've persuaded you many times like this before, which one did you go out?" Zili quietly leaned into Tengling's ear, "I have a way, I will definitely be able to let her out smoothly this time." ”

"What's the solution?" Tengling looked at her suspiciously.

Zili smiled slyly, turned around and ran outside the temple gate: "You will know if you come with me." ”

"What the hell is going on? It's so mysterious. Although Tengling pouted to express dissatisfaction, he still followed closely. After a while, the two came to the gate of the queen's palace.

"Sister Zili, you don't want the queen to persuade the beauty, right?" Teng Ling thought that Zi Lizhen had come up with some good idea, but at this time he was deflated, "Although the queen gets along well with our beauties, she is also a person in the queen's harem, and one less person is one less enemy, how can she help us persuade the beauty?" ”

"I didn't say I was coming to the Queen." Zili's eyes lit up after he finished speaking, and he raised his chin towards Tengling.

Teng Ling looked in the direction she could see, and the second prince Liu Zhiyao was running out of the queen's palace in a hurry, followed by three or two busy eunuchs.

"I understand, you mean that you want the second prince to persuade the beauty?" Teng Ling suddenly realized.

Zili nodded: "Yes, the second prince likes to play with Yifang, even if Yifang has a grudge against the king, he still likes the second prince." ”

"yes, it's a great idea, I didn't think of it!"

Zili knocked her on the head: "You are stupid! ”

If it was in normal times, Teng Ling would definitely have a fight with her, but at this time, it is just that, there are more important things to do.

The eunuchs kept a close watch on the second prince, and after the last attack on the hunting ground, the king and queen were very concerned about the safety of the princes. Teng Ling and Zili hid at the door for a while, but they didn't find a chance to get close to the second prince. Just when they were full of entanglement, the second prince actually came over to me.
