Chapter 42: The Five Princes with Brain Problems
The people who come to this birthday banquet are all nobles, eat and drink extra carefully, and the bowls, chopsticks and teapots are all made of silver, so they are afraid of any accidents.
As a result, it was still out, the second son of the Han family, Han Shuang's younger brother Han Tianyong, suddenly died in the courtyard to the west, with a knife wound on his throat, dripping with blood.
Situ Feng, who was with him, didn't know anything, so he said that he was sleepy, and after a sleep, he woke up next to a corpse. Where can anyone believe this statement, Mrs. Han cried all day long, and people in the villa were also panicked.
Zhou Heshuo was furious, waved his hand to hold people down in advance, and sent the Han family away from the birthday banquet.
Originally, the banquet prepared for the five princes, where could it be stopped because of this sudden accident, even if it was whitewashed, this peace had to be whitewashed.
But the Han family didn't think so, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a dislike for the eldest princess, and the Han family, the closest to the eldest princess, suddenly died next to the prince's doorman, which was clearly intentional murder.
So, not an hour after the Han family left, the villa was surrounded by the Royal Forest Army.
Kazuki hid in the backyard with them, surrounded by panicked Madame and Miss.
"What's going on?" Chao Fengzhi frowned, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dares to come to surround the field, don't you want to die?" ”
Ming Shujiu had already woken up, tiptoed to look at the movement outside, and said in a low voice: "If others come to surround it, it will be a death, but this time, who is looking for trouble with whom is not necessarily." ”
Hua Yue stood between them with an innocent face, still holding half a handful of melon seeds in her hand.
Chaofeng asked her very curiously, "Aren't you nervous?" ”
She let out a blank "ah" and asked her, "What's going on?" ”
Chao Feng and Ming Shu glanced at each other, shook their heads in unison, protected her behind them and said, "You eat slowly, let's guard it, even if the Imperial Forest Army comes here, it won't disturb you to eat melon seeds." ”
It's really gentle, Hua Yue thought about it, she was so good to them, and if Xu Changyi and Liu Chenghe went to Qifeng Tower again, she would also send them a message.
There was a heart-rending howl in the distance for no reason, it sounded a little infiltrating, and she shrank towards Feng Se, Ming Shu protected her behind her, and softly comforted: "Don't be afraid, they should come over later." ”
Although a few gentlemen usually don't have five or six local people, they are all people who protect their shortcomings, and the villa is not very peaceful, and it is definitely useless for a few women to hug each other, or only by their side is the most thoughtful.
Sure enough, not long after Chao Feng said this, Xu Changyi and Liu Chenghe hurried over, and the two of them took the three of them out of the crowd and breathed a sigh of relief.
"You guys go in the car first." Xu Changyi said, "You can still go out from the back door." ”
Liu Chenghe glanced at him disapprovingly, and before he could refute, Mingshu spoke first: "This is the birthday banquet of the five princes, and it is disrespectful to the five princes and the prince to quit without resignation. ”
Xu Changyi was slightly annoyed: "You have so many ideas, why are you still trembling with fear?" ”
Ming Shu smiled lightly: "I didn't see you, but if I saw it, I wouldn't be afraid, we can think about it in the long run." ”
was secretly relieved by her full of trust, Xu Changyi coughed, put his fist against the corner of his mouth and said: "If you don't want to go, it's okay, just follow me, no one will dare to offend." ”
Liu Chenghe nodded: "That's what I mean, you take Mingshu, I take Chaofeng, let's go to the vicinity of the main court, borrow a handful of the prince's dragon shade, and this chaos will not fall on our heads." ”
The four of them agreed on their ideas, and then turned their heads to look at Yin Huayue in unison.
Hua Yue pinched a melon seed, slightly embarrassed.
Li Jingyun didn't come over, and with his status with Zhou Heshuo, he would definitely not be able to take care of her for a while.
Chaofeng also realized this problem, and opened his mouth and said, "Huayue, you might as well follow ......."
"Follow me." A voice interjected from the side, clear and clear, just caught the words.
A few people turned around curiously, and saw a young man in a moon-white brocade robe coming over, standing next to Hua Yue with a smile: "You are all free, I have time to take care of her." ”
The corners of her eyes twitched, Hua Yue subconsciously covered her stomach that was throbbing from laughing before, and said vigilantly: "Why are you again?" ”
Zhou Hemin was very sad, his sword eyebrows drooped, and he said complainingly: "I don't blame you for betraying me and letting me be taken back to meditate for an hour, why don't you treat me like you?" ”
"It's not like we're not going to see you." She looked at him strangely, "It's just that Pingshui has never known each other, Your Excellency is so attentive, you are either a traitor or a thief." ”
Zhou Hemin was dumbfounded: "I...... Steal? ”
He seemed to have suffered some big blow, turned his head and asked Xu Changyi in disbelief: "Am I like a bad person?" ”
Xu Changyi's face turned a little blue, he looked at the two people in front of him for a long time, and said hesitantly: "That can't be, Your Highness has a dragon qi to protect your body, you are a person of destiny, how can you get involved with bad words." ”
Liu Chenghe also smiled dryly, glanced at Huayue, and then arched his hand and said: "Our little sister-in-law rarely goes out, she doesn't recognize people, and if she is offended, please ask the fifth prince Haihan." ”
Hua Yue looked at them, thinking to herself that these two gentlemen were rare to have such a panicked time, it seemed that the person next to her was not small.
Then she reacted for a moment, and two blank expressions welled up in her eyes: "What did you just say about the Five Princes?" ”
Chao Feng was amused by her sluggish appearance, and pinched her arm and reminded in a whisper: "This is the fifth prince of the dynasty, and today is his fifteenth birthday." ”
After hearing this, Hua Yue's face was two points greener than Xu Changyi, she turned her head to look over, and the corners of her eyes twitched even more.
How can this be the Five Princes? Shouldn't the protagonist of the birthday banquet be next to the prince, or sit in the main court? Why is he still running around talking to her?
Zhou Hemin's depressed heart finally found the slightest comfort in her panicked look: "It turns out that you don't know me." ”
How is she going to know the five princes of Daliang? Hua Yue smiled and gritted her teeth, this person didn't hang a plaque on his forehead, and he didn't wear dragon pattern clothes, did he really want her to use the "dragon energy" around him to give him a gift?
Hell of it.
"The little girl is offended." She bent her knees in sincere fear, "Please also ask Your Highness for forgiveness." ”
The posture is low enough, and the tone is also genuinely apologetic, and whoever listens will no longer be embarrassed to embarrass her.
However, Zhou and Min were different, he laughed again, stroked his palm, and said, "You must be scolding me in your stomach." ”
Yin Huayue: "......"
Xu Liu et al.: "......"
Are you so happy to be scolded?
Hua Yue sighed very emotionally, God is fair in the end, giving a person a rich background and Zhou Zheng's face, it will definitely give him an abnormal brain.
Zhou Hemin is so rich and thoughtful that his mind is extraordinarily abnormal: "Whose concubine are you, no one cares about being thrown here, and you don't want to lose your temper with him?" ”
Xu Changyi saw that something was not right, and came up to answer for Hua Yue: "This is the concubine room of the third son of the Li family, gentle and considerate, and will definitely not cause trouble for the third master at this time." Your Highness doesn't have to worry, there are a few of us watching here. ”
Zhou Hemin waved his hand: "I'm not worried, but I just see that the noise in front of me is not interesting, so I just walk around." ”
As he spoke, he turned his head and whispered to her, "Have you ever seen the crown prince and the eldest princess quarrel?" ”
Hua Yue nodded: "I was fortunate to see it once on the mountain." ”
"Hey, you can see it, it's not really a fight." Zhou Hemin said meaningfully, "The two of them are really quarrelling, and they won't even stay in the palace within ten zhang." ”
I have never seen someone so keen to gossip about their siblings. Kazuki was very disdainful of this brotherly and affectionate behavior, and then asked with curiosity on her face, "Then how do you know what it is like for them to really quarrel?" ”
Looking left and right, Zhou Hemin beckoned to them, and in an instant, all five heads came over.
"I've eavesdropped on my door." He whispered, "They are stupid, they don't even have a palace person within ten zhang, and no one can find out if someone is eavesdropping outside." ”
Liu Chenghe bowed his hand to him in admiration: "You are not afraid that the prince will trouble you." ”
"That's not possible, he expects me to speak for him in front of his father, and he wants to abolish the head of the court." Zhou Hemin raised his chin, "He won't embarrass me." ”
"In this way, dare to ask Your Highness what the situation is ahead?" Xu Changyi couldn't help but say, "It's a good birthday banquet, and people are panicking, and I don't know what this Royal Forest Army is going to do." ”
"What else can I do, today is a banquet held by the prince's brother, and even the eldest sister of the emperor was not invited, the eldest sister of the emperor was very unhappy, and it happened that there was a murder, so I can't use the topic to play a thing or two." Zhou Hemin said happily, "The Imperial Forest Army and others may fight with the forbidden army of the prince's elder brother." ”
…… Why did such a terrible thing be said in such a joyful tone?
Hua Yue glanced in the direction of the main court and frowned slightly.
"Are you worried about Li Sangongzi?" Zhou Hemin said bluntly, "He is a good person, as long as the prince's brother is safe, then no one can touch him, if you have that idle time, you might as well follow me to see the excitement." ”
Listening to it funny, Hua Yue looked back at him: "Your Highness's birthday banquet is like this, do you still have the heart to watch the excitement?" ”
"It's more fun than a birthday party." Zhou Hemin snorted lightly, "It's better to bring such a large group of people to say some flattering words to me, it's better to lock up the eldest sister and the eldest brother of the crown prince together and let them quarrel with me." ”
"Forgive the little girl, it's really unruly for you to do this." Kazuki persuaded righteously.
Then he whispered to him, "Where to look?" ”
Xu Changyi wiped his face, pulled Liu Chenghe's sleeve next to him, and gave him a look: Mind it.
Liu Chenghe is very inexplicable: You dare to take care of the people of the third master, are you tired of living?
If this doesn't matter, what if people are abducted by the five princes? Xu Changyi was very worried, although the five princes were young, they seemed to be playful, and they might not have a side meaning, but these two were mixed together, how to look at it is not appropriate, right?
Xu Changyi was very melancholy, and before he could come up with an idea, the two people in front of him had already walked to the main court one after the other.
"Ouch......" he held out his hand.
Ming Shu pulled his hand back and said in a low voice: "The Han family doesn't deal with Huayue, and now that the third master is not here, it is safest for her to follow the fifth prince." ”
"yes, what are you panicking about?" Chao Feng said, "That's a sensible girl, she won't cause trouble." ”
It's not that it's troublesome or not, Xu Changyi looked at Liu Chenghe desperately: "If the third master asks, you go and answer." ”
"Me? I've got a little bit of something to do. Liu Chenghe pulled Chaofeng and turned his head to leave, "See you later." ”
Xu Changyi cursed in a low voice.
Hua Yue really wanted to go to the main court to see, the fifth prince didn't tell her that set of serious rules, and she was not a good teacher, so she followed a few words and posted it under the wall outside the main court lobby.
Then she understood why the five princes said that what they could see was not really arguing.
Previously, on the Guanshan Mountain, the prince and the eldest princess quarreled over the water-like thing, and it was just a yin and yang strange anger pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, and now there was no one within ten zhang, and they scolded in the house so happily.
"The palace girl's shitty thing, don't think that if you sit on the crown prince by relying on two points of credit, you can poke your finger into my nose." Zhou Heji stood on the chair and scolded, "The person who moves me, you move, you move one, I move you ten!" Didn't you fall in love with the little girl of the Zhao family and want to be a good girl, let me tell you, no way, I'll chop her up and feed her to the dog tomorrow! ”
"I just received my father's reward, and I'm in a good mood, and my voice is not as good as you, the evil woman who was scolded by the middle palace." Zhou Heshuo stood not far away, and shot back with cold eyes, "If you have the kung fu of scolding, it is better to go back and guard the wild men in your palace, and get women outside the palace, and you are not afraid to go back with a flower willow disease." ”
I don't know if it was the middle palace or Hua Liu who poked the eldest princess's sore feet, her voice suddenly sharpened, and the tip of the hairpin scraped on the ground: "You don't have a few days to live, Zhou Heshuo, let me tell you, do you really think that the people around you are all willing to help you?" To please the five emperor brothers, to please Li Jingyun, to please the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, you think that you can impeach the head of the court in this way, you are dreaming! It is Han Tianyong who dies today, and Li Jingyun who dies tomorrow, you can't protect him, and you can't protect yourself! ”
With a tense heart, Hua Yue held her breath.
"You're laughing at me." Zhou Heshuo's voice then came out of the house, sneering as much as he could, "Didn't you rob me before?" If you can't grab it, you will curse people to death, and the evil woman who can't marry is really vicious. But it's a pity that Jing Yun is not the same as a waste like Han Tianyong, don't underestimate him. ”
"I don't dare to underestimate him." The eldest princess sneered, "After all, she is the one who can rescue Han Shuang from your wolf's den, she has the ability and strategy, and she can deceive your eyes, where is the fuel-efficient lamp." ”
There was a moment of silence in the room.
Hua Yue didn't dare to move, leaning against the wall, and her back was cold.
She knew that Li Jingyun had always been on the cusp, but she didn't know that his situation was so terrible, life and death were all between the two of them.
Zhou Heshuo was suspicious by nature, he was fooled before, and he didn't pursue the matter of Mandarin Duck Pei anymore, but now that the old matter is brought up again, if he goes to see the injury on Li Jingyun's arm, then everything will be over.
She wasn't worried about him or anything, but how to say that he was also a member of the General's Mansion, and if Li Jingyun had an accident, his wife would not be happy.
A few points of light flashed in her mind, Hua Yue squinted and pondered, silently calculating if she moved faster, whether she could save him in time.
The two people in the room didn't be quiet for a while and then continued to quarrel, what a prodigal shrew, what a cheap miscellaneous, two noble-born people, scolding nonsense is really not lost in the battle of the people.
Zhou Hemin listened to it with relish, and when they really couldn't scold her for any new tricks, they dragged her away with great satisfaction.
"Listen, don't take it to heart." Sensing that the emotions of the people around her were not right, Zhou Hemin smiled at her, "When they quarrel, they just say anything, and they may not really do it." ”
"Thank you, Your Highness." Kazuki bowed her head and saluted, and continued to wander.
"Shall I go to your house tomorrow to play with you?" He asked.
Hua Yue felt ridiculous, and regained two wisps of thought and said helplessly: "Your Highness, the little girl is already a concubine, no matter how noble your status is, you are also a foreign man, how can there be a reason for a foreign man to go to the mansion to find someone to play with a concubine?" ”
Sighing regretfully, Zhou Hemin asked, "Can't you play with the third son?" ”
"The little girl can't ...... about this"
It's on.
Before the last two words were finished, Kazuki realized something, her pupils shrank, and she quickly turned her head to look at him.
The young man in front of him was full of spirit, like the freest wind in the spring mountains, chic and chic. As if he didn't know anything, he seemed to know everything, smiled and lowered his eyebrows and asked her, "Okay?" ”
"You-" looked back at the courtyard that had been left behind, and raised his eyes to look at this person, the dark light in his eyes moved a few times, and finally swallowed the words back, and bowed his knees respectfully to him: "Naturally, it will work." ”
"That'll be fine." Zhou Hemin flicked his sleeves, and the corners of his lips were raised high, "It's settled." ”
She was still worried about whether Li Jingyun would really have an accident tomorrow, and now that he said this, Hua Yue felt that there seemed to be nothing to worry about, the five princes were present, and whoever had great ability would not kill people so blatantly.
When my heart relaxed, curiosity began to surge.
She knew some news about the Daliang royal family, knew that the middle palace and the eldest princess, the crown prince and Yao Guifei each fought for power and power for the party, and also knew that the six princesses and seven princes had no quarrel with the world and did not get involved in government affairs. But she rarely heard any news from the five princes, this prince who was backed by the prime minister's uncle seemed to have no ambitions, but he was by no means an idle person.
"Do you have something to ask me?" Zhou Hemin raised his eyebrows.
Subconsciously covering her heart, Hua Yue asked creepyly: "Do you know how to read minds?" ”
"Not really." He looked at her playfully and smiled, "It's because you're so interesting, your thoughts are written in your eyes, and ordinary people can't see it, but if you look closely, you can know what you're thinking." ”
Katsuki immediately covered her eyes.
"Hahaha." Zhou Hemin laughed, leaning on the vermilion pillar on the side of the corridor and staring at her, "It's useless to block it now, you might as well get straight to the point, I won't blame you." ”
Hesitantly put down her hand, Hua Yue's eyebrows frowned slightly, looked at him and said, "The dragon and phoenix among the five princes, why do you want to entangle with people like the little girl?" ”
"Inferior?" Zhou Hemin was very puzzled, "Where do you look like a subordinate?" ”
Puzzled, he pulled his concubine-colored dress, and pointed to his plain dress, Hua Yue asked, "I don't look like a subordinate in this dress?" Compared with that group of bejeweled ladies and misses, she is a wild girl. ”
"What does dressing up mean?" He waved his hand disapprovingly, "A palace maid wearing a phoenix robe is also a palace maid, and a noble person wearing linen cloth is also a nobleman." ”
...... "Why don't you stop being a prince and set up a stall to show people?"
Thinking so in her heart, Hua Yue didn't dare to say it, she thought that the fifth prince had a problem with his head at first, but now that she looks at it, she feels that this person seems to be very interesting.
He didn't have any malice, his eyes were clean curiosity and joy in his eyes, and he didn't say this to please or tease her, but to spit out what he knew, simple and direct.
"That little girl has a different question." She looked away and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you enjoy your great birthday banquet, what are you trying to do here with your little girl?" ”
Zhou Hemin glanced her up and down, and said with a smile: "I am the prince, I have endless silver and endless beauties." You are Li Jingyun's side room, a married woman, what can I get? ”
After a pause, he still kindly explained: "I really think you're funny, so I want to play with you." Vigilant people have peculiar experiences, most of them will not be easily tempted, but you are different, you are vigilant, but the heart is soft, a piece of peanut crisp vomited, and reluctant to throw it, like a child who is scared of being beaten, wants to reach out for candy, and has scruples. ”
The most interesting thing in the world is contradictions, and the five princes like to watch the most are contradictory people.
He didn't say this like a fifteen-year-old person at all, and his face was clearly juvenile, but between the lines, Hua Yue had a feeling of being seen through.
Hua Yue is eighteen years old this year, a full three years older than the fifth prince, so even if her status is low, being seen by a child still makes her a little embarrassed. She folded her hands, put on her most indifferent shelf, and said calmly: "Your Highness looks at people, it's better not to be too one-sided." ”
Zhou Hemin smiled and said, "I think I see it quite right, just like now, you don't want to leak too much to strangers, so you want to leave." ”
As he spoke, he turned sideways to trap her against the vermilion pillar, his eyes drooping, and he looked at her deeply: "Don't worry, I won't betray you." ”
Why is a fifteen-year-old so much taller than her? Hua Yue wanted to glare at him twice, but her short stature didn't seem imposing, she pursed her lips and said angrily: "Thank you, Your Highness, but if there is another time, the little girl will still betray Your Highness." ”
Thinking of the tragic appearance of being chased and intercepted by the palace people, Zhou Hemin's face finally showed the shame that a young man should have, he let go of his hand and snorted: "Then I won't protect your sweetheart, Ming'er will leave him to fend for himself." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and was about to leave.
Let's go, who can this childish threat scare, Huayue disdainfully, thinking about where she came from.
Somehow, however, her hand reached out and grabbed the person.
Zhou Hemin paused, looked back and raised his eyebrows, and was about to tease her, but saw a few people coming over the corner of the corridor.
"It's not a big deal, and I ask the third prince to say a few good words for us."
"Yes, it's all a family, and it's mostly a misunderstanding."
A few people walked over to this side with a smile and a smile, and the one headed by a blue-white silver-embroidered beast robe, his handsome eyebrows and eyes were raised, and he just met his sight.
