In just one day, Xie Fenghua walked several places in a row, and he was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground. Fortunately, at this time, she didn't have anything to do, and after a few tosses, she also found a lot of clues.

Yuan Minzhou saw that she went out early and returned late, so he couldn't help but say a few more words. Unexpectedly, she actually took the matter lightly on the grounds of "I don't want my husband to be too tired".

In desperation, Yuan Minzhou didn't say anything more.

The time for the send-off banquet has already been set.

Early in the morning, Xie Fenghua was pulled out of the bed by Yuan Minzhou, freshened up and dressed up, and rushed to the palace in a carriage.

The original plan was that there would be a send-off banquet in the morning, and Xie Fenghua would lead the troops out in the afternoon.

From the point of view of time, the arrangement is still quite tight.

However, fortunately, Xie Fenghua had prepared in advance, and it was not so unacceptable.

By the time they arrived at the Frost Cloud Palace, the hall was already bustling with activity. When many officials saw Xie Fenghua, they hurriedly greeted him with a smile, and their attitude was unprecedentedly enthusiastic.

Xie Fenghua is rarely patient, chatting in the crowd, so unhappy.

After a long time, she returned to her seat and carefully surveyed the rest of the room.

After sweeping them one by one, I found that there were several unfamiliar faces in the hall, and I couldn't help but keep a few more eyes in my heart.

Mrs. Yuan noticed her gaze, and suddenly said from the side: "I heard that the emperor is unconscious this time, and it should have been a send-off banquet hosted by the queen's mother. Later, King Beiheng specially invited the old prince to come over, and everyone else was envious of our Hou Mansion for such an honor. ”

"Old prince?" Xie Fenghua automatically ignored the second half of the sentence and said curiously, "Mother, do you mean the Qing prince who is fond of mountains and rivers?" ”

Mrs. Yuan nodded, secretly pointed to the white-haired old man who had a good conversation with King Beiheng, and said in a low voice: "It is the Qing prince." Speaking of which, this old prince has not been out for many years, and it is surprising to be able to invite him. ”

Among these many people, including Xie Fenghua.

In her previous life, she had also heard of this old prince. I don't know much about it, though.

The only thing that has a slight impression is that when Zhao Pei ascended the throne, the old prince made a lot of efforts to suppress all kinds of treacherous thoughts in the court.

Since then, the old prince has lived in a simple house and never asked about the court. Even if it was a palace banquet, he resigned and never appeared in front of everyone.

- Low-key, as if it didn't exist.

But now, the king of Beiheng invited him out of the mountain, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad.

After Zhao Pei fell unconscious, Xie Fenghua was full of malicious speculation about the people of the entire imperial court.

And the king of Beiheng was waiting on the sidelines, but he was cunning so that people couldn't catch the fox's tail, which was really hateful.

She secretly looked at the old prince, with white hair and a kind face, wearing a dark green brocade robe, revealing a calm atmosphere all over her body. There were occasionally a few rays of light in those eyes, which taught people not to underestimate them.

After looking at it, she withdrew her gaze, and her heart sank.

A Beiheng King is already extremely tricky, and if there is another old prince, things will be even more complicated.

Just thinking like this, someone outside the hall sang loudly: "The queen mother has arrived-"

Xie Fenghua immediately gathered his mind and greeted Du Pingfei's arrival with everyone.

After a burst of rustling sounds, Du Pingfei walked slowly surrounded by the palace people. She swept her eyes sharply, but she happened to meet Xie Fenghua's gaze, and after meeting her eyes, she quickly looked away.

Xie Fenghua glanced at her roughly, and his eyes narrowed unconsciously.

Today's Du Pingfei actually came dressed up. But I saw her combing a peony bun, wearing a phoenix flying nine days of wishful agate hollow crown, and the golden jade inlaid with rubies was about to fly, echoing with the agate jade on the left and right, and the luster was shining. The five-colored gems on the clothes of the hundred birds and phoenixes shine brightly, symbolizing the supremacy of the lord of the harem.

She walked slowly, and while walking, there were thousands of phoenixes and peerless elegance.

- Such a grand outfit seems to remind something, which is impossible to ignore.

Many people in the hall held their breath, their eyes secretly following her movements. And the people in the Beiheng Palace's Mansion were even more unusually stiff, and all of them were like facing a great enemy.

Seeing this, Xie Fenghua's cold eyes came and went on the other people in the hall, as if he was weighing something.

It wasn't until Du Pingfei sat down that everyone came back to their senses, looking at Du Pingfei who was dressed up, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

And Du Pingfei didn't seem to notice the strangeness of everyone, and after everyone sat down, he spoke: "Today is the day when the commander of Dingbei will lead the troops to go out. However, the emperor's dragon body is not safe, and this send-off banquet is co-hosted by the palace and the old prince. It's just that the thought of moving the old prince firmly is going to take care of it, and the palace can't help it. ”

The old prince hurriedly said: "The queen can think of the old minister, that is the honor of the old minister." ”

Du Pingfei nodded, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. Then he looked at Xie Fenghua in the crowd, and said lightly: "Even so, this palace won't say much." I also asked the old prince to give him the line for the commander of Dingbei. ”

In the Liang Dynasty, whenever the emperor's soldiers went on the expedition, they would definitely hold a send-off banquet. At the banquet, it was given by a prominent member of the royal family for the generals. The gift is divided into two kinds: giving wine and giving tiger charms.

Originally, this should have been done by Zhao Pei. It's just that he is unconscious now, and Du Pingfei is a woman, so he can only be done by the old prince.

The old prince read Xie Fenghua's name, and in the sight of everyone, Xie Fenghua walked out, knelt down on one knee, took the tiger talisman from the old prince's hand, and raised his head to drink the wine given, and also completed the real purpose of the send-off banquet.

To put it simply, it's a formality.

Xie Fenghua sat lazily on the chair, his fingerprints rubbing the lines on the tiger talisman, and his heart fell back into his stomach.

I thought that I would encounter all kinds of obstacles, and at the worst of all, some people secretly stumbled. But at this moment, I realized that everything was going so smoothly. It was really unexpected by her.

Thinking so, she looked at King Beiheng with a little imperceptible indifference in her eyes.

She didn't think that this person had secretly done so many tricks and would easily let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Then I guess there is a trick!

Sure enough, Jing Zhaoyin suddenly walked to the center of the main hall, and said clearly: "Queen Mother, old prince, Weichen has something to play!" ”

Du Pingfei knew that "the harem should not interfere in politics", so he also set his eyes on the old prince, and then listened to the old prince ask: "Now, the emperor's dragon body is not safe, and this king will act as the main thing." It's just that I don't know what Jing Zhaoyin is about? ”

Jing Zhaoyin glanced at Du Pingfei's expression, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Recently, Weichen received a case, and his life is at stake, so he will report it to heaven at this time. ”

"What case?"

"Weichen got the news that the little prince of the Wuwei Hou Mansion maliciously killed people, causing the death of Imperial Doctor Li of the Tai Hospital. Please also ask the queen mother and the old prince to decide! ”

Xie Fenghua sneered when he heard this, what a preemptive strike!
