In the blink of an eye, it is September, that is, the beginning of the seventh month of the lunar calendar.

There are less than fifteen days before the Midyear Festival, and Yin'an has since entered Mengqiu.

Early in the morning, the Three Princes' Mansion was lit up, which was much more lively than usual, because today was the birthday of the Three Princes' Princesses Han Tang Pear, and the Three Princes specially ordered people to set up a banquet in the Mansion to celebrate the birthday of the Three Princes.

There are especially many guests who go to the Three Princes' Mansion to attend the birthday banquet, not only the royal family, but also the Xiang family.

The third prince has become more and more famous in the court, and he does not take sides with either side, although he married the Han people, but after a period of time, the people on both sides who secretly observed found that the real purpose of the three princes marrying Han Tang pear was to establish their own door, not to establish a relationship with the Xiang people through the Han people.

Since then, invisibly, the power of the Three Princes' faction has gradually emerged.

Today's birthday banquet uses the Qushui Liuzhen banquet, which is a kind of elegant event for literati and ink writers to sing poetry and wine, but it has been particularly popular in clan banquets recently.

The only difference between the two is that the literati and writers are opposed by reciting poems by meandering water, but these vassal and elegant clans are just for the sake of taste.

In order to do today's song of water, the three princes specially ordered people to pave the ground and chisel mountain stones in the garden one month in advance, and also built a liuyu pavilion.

All the guests said that the three princes were really attentive to the three princesses, and they were willing to toss so much for a birthday banquet.

In the banquet of the flowing water, the sound of gurgling water was accompanied by bursts of admiration.

Hantang pear, who sat in the middle position, was dressed in red today, with a high bun, a hairpin and a phoenix hairpin, decorated with pearls and jade, and the uniform and light fat powder on her face made her whole person more and more fresh and refined, dignified and elegant with a bit of the princess's honor.

She listened to the admiration in her ears, lowered her head slightly, covered her mouth with an embroidered handkerchief, and smiled shyly.

When the guests were almost there, the third prince was late.

Everyone got up and saluted him, and the third prince raised his hand and said with a smile: "Don't be polite, sit down." ”

The third prince walked in front of the third princess as he spoke, the couple looked at each other and smiled, looking very affectionate, what the third princess wanted to say, the third prince hurriedly leaned down and listened to her very cooperatively.

As soon as they said it, both of them had a particularly warm smile on their faces, and they could see that others exchanged glances, and their eyes were full of envy.

After a few gossips between the husband and wife, the third prince walked towards his seat above, he saw that only the top seat was still empty, the smile on his face was slightly reduced, and he asked the little man beside him: "Uncle hasn't come yet?"

The little guy shook his head.

"Stand down. ”

The little servant retreated, and the three princes continued to walk towards their seats.

At this time, the guests were already sitting on both sides of the man-made canal, which was high and low, and the river of wine flowed from top to bottom.

Two maidservants began to place wine glasses into the canal from the upper stream, and the glasses went down the river, and when they stopped in front of whomever they wanted, they took the glass from the canal and drank it.

The third prince took the wine glass that flowed in front of him, scooped a small glass of wine, and took the lead in saluting the clans who were present to participate in the banquet today: "Wan is today's birthday, you can come to the banquet specially, I and Wan Ru are honored, just some thin wine to wait, I hope you can drink to your heart's content, do it first as a respect!"

After the third prince finished speaking, he raised his head and drank the syrup in the cup, and the next moment of his seat was up, and everyone also drank into their stomachs.

Before he could put down the wine glass, a little servant hurriedly trotted over, approached the third prince, and whispered something, the third prince was overjoyed, and immediately said, "Don't invite uncle in yet!"

When everyone heard the word "uncle", they were stunned.

The birthday banquet of the three princesses is just a small banquet, and they can actually invite Xiangyu!

Everyone got up one after another, turned back to look in the direction of the door, and saw Xiangyu, dressed in a white jade-colored robe, slowly coming in their direction.

His hair was casually curled in a loose bun, and there was a jade hairpin on the bun, most of the Qin Mo hair fell on his shoulders, and his delicate and noble face was with the usual casual laziness, and the two pools of ink were bright and deep, and his eyes were in front of him.

Xiangyu's steps are idle, not in a hurry, but he does not show the neglect of the master due to being late, which is a just right pace.

The moment the white jade-colored figure appeared, everyone bowed to the ground and shouted in unison, "See Jade Gongzi".

"Get up. Xiangyu's cold voice came out casually, and he was personally led to the top seat by the third prince who got up quickly.

"Uncle, I didn't expect you to really come today. With the usual warm smile on his face, the third prince said respectfully to Xiangyu.

Xiangyu straightened her loose cuffs and replied without being soft or hard: "I can't guess if I'm coming, but I still sent the invitation to my house." ”

The three princes' faces paused slightly, and their eyes just met Han Tao, who was sitting not far away, and they quickly staggered again.

Xiangyu raised her eyebrows, and her eyes couldn't help but move to Han Tao.

Han Tao hurriedly got up, bowed to Xiangyu and said, "Childe." ”

Xiangyu seemed to snort lightly, extremely subtle, and there was the sound of water flowing in the canal, which interfered with hearing, so that the third prince and the few people under the seat could not hear it very clearly.

Han Tao was still a mother who was in charge of the house, and her face was full of invincibility, but not long after Xiangyu appeared, Han Tao's momentum instantly weakened.

He was very worried at the moment, after all, without the permission of Xiangyu and Xiangfu, he advocated a marriage with the Three Princes' Mansion, not only cut first, but also did not play later, anyone with a discerning eye can see what he is thinking, not to mention Xiangyu's delicate heart, he must have seen Han Tao's plan thoroughly.

Han Tao felt a chill from head to toe, and from the moment he made Han Tangli marry the third prince, he decided to defect and gradually break away from the Xiang faction.

The reason why he made such a decision was actually because he overheard the conversation between Han Yu and Han Zeshui, and Han Yu guessed that Xiangyu's world curse had been attacked.

As soon as the curse of the world occurs, the number of qi of the Xiang clan is not long, although the Xiang clan has a moon fence that can break the sacrifice of the curse, but he once found a master who surveyed the celestial phenomena to predict the future, and the master finally said: "The curse of the world is enlightened, and the Xiang clan will die."

He didn't believe it at first, but he looked for it again

If the Xiang clan dies, then the trees will fall and scatter.

He had to leave a way back for the Han clan in time, otherwise when the Xiang clan fell, the first to be targeted by the royal family was the Han clan.

After the matter of the third prince and Hantang pear's marriage was made public, he waited to be summoned by Xiangyu, but Xiangyu never said a word in the end.

However, the rest of the several clans that were also attached to the Xiang clan came to the door to find out, but he quietly rejected them.

He did something that shook the morale of the army, if he added fuel to the fire, Xiangyu and the Xiang clan would definitely not spare him again!

He didn't dare to make any more moves!

But......

The Han clan and the Three Princes' Mansion married and secretly formed an alliance, why did Xiangyu have no reaction for a long time?

Han Tao was particularly puzzled by this matter, and was so worried.

The more Xiangyu was not angry, the more he felt that things were not simple, so it was better to take the opportunity of today's banquet to find out.

Han Tao's body moved on the seat with some uneasiness, and the contemplation on his face deepened more and more.
