As the time passed, the people had seen all the singing and dancing, and there was no longer any delicacies in their stomachs, and the fireworks that had lasted for a long time lost all traces in the air.

At this time, many courtiers were drunk, pointing fingers at each other regardless of manners, and His Majesty saw that the time was not too early to announce the end of the state banquet.

The people were lifted up by the servants in twos and threes and quit, but the banquet was still sitting on the table and did not move.

"Miss, aren't we leaving?"

Lu Mang was puzzled, and bent down to help her.

While Yan Xin put her hand, he whispered: "You go and follow this Lord Fei, see where he is going after leaving the table, and what no one is making friends with, and by the way, observe the situation at his house." ”

Regarding the matter of catkins, Yan Xin has been thinking about it repeatedly in his heart, and he is still determined to find out.

"What about you?" Lu Mang received the order, but it was already the middle of the night, and she was relieved not to go back by herself.

Yanxin knew her worries, after all, today was a state banquet, no one would be bold enough to set off something wrong here, and Liu Yichen would go back on duty immediately, and there would definitely be nothing on the way.

"I still have something to do in a while, my brother will wait for me at the palace gate, we'll see you at the post house later."

"I'll go." Lu Mang helped Yanxin all the way to the outside of the hall, first searched for the shadow of Lord Fei in the crowd, and then locked the target before retiring with Yanxin.

Seeing Lu Mang leaving, Yan Xin stood alone in front of the hall, and Qin Xuanlang found an opportunity to talk to her.

"Why don't I send Miss Liu back?"

In front of everyone, Qin Xuanlang's performance was quite decent, and his demeanor was also in place.

Yan Xin shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't bother the second prince, my brother will wait for me at the palace gate." ”

"That's also a drop-by."

Qin Xuanlang didn't care, and insisted on sending her to the palace gate, at this time, the palace lights on both sides of the palace road had been lit, because today's day was special, and the palace gate was specially dressed in festive colors.

happened to have something to ask him, so he didn't refuse, but just asked with a smile: "You're not afraid of falling behind?" ”

"The courtiers all know that Miss Liu and I hit it off at first sight in Lanzhou, if we deliberately distance ourselves now, wouldn't we want to cover it up?"

He was frank and thoughtful enough, so Yan Xin naturally accepted it gladly.

After staggering the eyes of many palace people, Yan Xin slowly spoke: "I really didn't expect today's situation, I don't know how the second prince persuaded that grandma?" ”

No matter how you look at that Mama Zeng, she is a close confidant of the Queen Mother, and she will definitely not easily slap the Queen Mother in the face until a certain time, and she is already this age, so there is no reason to stand on Qin Xuanlang's side.

Qin Xuanlang didn't care, as if buying someone in the palace was the easiest thing in the world.

"Back then, my father wanted to send these palace people out of the palace to settle down shortly after the queen mother left, but Mama Zeng asked for other gifts, and I sent someone to investigate to find out that she had a nephew who worked as a guard in the palace, but unfortunately she has not been able to do so."

Yan Xin guessed: "Then you gave her nephew a chance to ascend?" ”

Qin Xuanlang was noncommittal and corrected: "I just gave her a chance to tell the truth about what happened back then. ”

Yan Xin was silent, he didn't know how to answer, he just continued to walk out along the palace road, it seems that this man's scheming has been cultivated early on.

During the feast, everyone had drunk a few glasses, and now the wind passed between their shoulders, and the feast did not feel cold because they had drunk hot wine before.

Today's all kinds of things, in fact, not only Yan Xin had doubts in his heart, but Qin Xuanlang also had doubts in his heart, and he continued.

"These people in the palace care about nothing more than money, fame and fortune, and it is easy to manipulate. In fact, I want to know more, how did Xin'er convince those Qiang envoys, and why would they be willing to cooperate with us? ”

Before asking Luo Yunxi to do this, she had already guessed that Qin Xuanlang must have asked this, and now she was just relaying the prepared news to him.

"Everyone in the world knows that the Qiang people are remote and lonely, and have become the target of suppression by the surrounding tribes, in fact, what if they behave well at the state banquet, it is just some single reward, but if it makes Your Majesty feel that they owe something, it is different."

"So they promised you, determined to fight, anyway, even if they really fail, Tianyu will definitely not lose the demeanor of a great country because of scheming with the small tribe of the Qiang tribe."

He also guessed that the two of them had an extraordinary tacit understanding when they asked and answered.

Yanxin lowered his head and showed great self-reproach, "It's a pity that the queen was not convicted for this incident." ”

"It's not in the way, in fact, I don't expect this matter to shake the foundation of the queen, this is just a beginning, we have a chance in the future, and this matter has been handed over to Dali Temple for investigation, since I have done it, it will not prevent me from doing more."

He didn't take this matter to heart, if the queen was really so easy to be brought down, then it would not be that he would not have replaced the crown prince by now, but Yanxin still had an abnormal thing today, which made him ask more.

"What I don't understand is, why does Xin'er insist so much on the top of the main hall to start a war with the Ashan Ministry?"

Yan Xin quickly adjusted his state, and let him guess by himself, "Does the second prince think that I am angry because I am angry that they attacked me?" ”

"No, I understand that Xin'er is not such a reckless person."

Qin Xuanlang did not hesitate, and knew how to control the girl's temper very well.

Yan Xin didn't let him continue to guess, but quickly dispelled his concerns and bluntly said that his mind had not changed.

"In addition to the courtiers behind the queen and the crown prince, there is also the patriarchal law, after all, he is the eldest son, it is too easy to make a comeback, but if you can make a war at this time, then the will of the people will naturally have the ability to adjust the situation."

"Battle exploits?"

Qin Xuanlang's heart was moved, Tianyu reached the world with martial arts, but unfortunately there had been no war in recent decades, if there was a chance to perform, it would definitely make those old stubborn change their minds.

Seeing that his expression was subtle, Yan Xin had already guessed what he was thinking, so he added another fire: "If there is a war, my father will definitely get along with each other and ensure that you are as powerful as a bamboo, and your reputation will be boosted!" ”

Without waiting for Qin Xuanlang to react, there was suddenly a voice behind him.

"Brother Huang!"

Yan Xin and Qin Xuanlang were both taken aback and hurriedly turned back.

Qin Xuanlang quickly covered up Fang Cai's actions and asked with a smile: "Third Emperor Brother? What are you doing here? ”

"I still need to thank my second brother for today's help, otherwise I may not be able to reunite with my mother in my life."

Qin Xuanming bowed respectfully and made a big salute, as if he had completely forgotten about the previous seclusion because of today's help.

But since the third prince was able to seize this opportunity to express his emotions, Qin Xuanlang naturally wanted to take this opportunity to mention a few words.

He gave him a handful, and in front of Yan Xin, he acted like he was very close to this imperial brother, and patted Qin Xuanming on the shoulder.

"It's not enough to worry about small things, Brother Huang has always known that you don't have power in your heart, as long as you keep your heart, you will definitely be able to have a smooth future in the future."

Qin Xuanming was not stupid, after he hurriedly glanced at Yan Xin, he pretended to be meeting Yan Xin for the first time, and teased a few words casually.

"Brother Xie Huang pointed out, today it seems that Miss Liu and my imperial brother are really a pair of beautiful people, if today really let the queen mother seize the opportunity, this is the most pity. The two chatted slowly, and Xuan Ming said goodbye. ”

Looking at Qin Xuanming's rapidly departing back, Qin Xuanlang suddenly spoke, "What does Xin'er think of me, the third emperor brother, as a person?" ”

"The first taste of sweetness, I have to guard against it."

Qin Xuanlang didn't answer, and Yan Xin also knew that this was his temptation, if Yan Xin exonerated the three princes at this time, Qin Xuanlang, who was seriously suspicious, might have to think about it again.

"By the way, don't take Fei Yuan's words to heart today, I'm afraid he just forgot the occasion."

He was talking about the Fei man who said he looked like catkins.

"If there were such similar people, I would really like to see them." Yan Xin said his thoughts lightly.

Qin Xuanlang nodded slightly, and did not forget to explain the marriage, "There are too many things today, and I haven't had time to mention that matter to my father, but rest assured, I will definitely not break my word." ”

For these promises of his, he experienced a banquet when he was a fart, and he didn't put it in his head at all.

"It's okay, there will always be a more suitable occasion, but the current situation of the prince is quite improving, and I hope you will solve the trouble as soon as possible."

The prince has a bad character, he is really not a candidate to inherit the unification, and with the Liang Zi formed between them, Yanxin has no good impression of him at all, so in Yanxin's plan, the life and death of the prince is also a turning point that can restrain Qin Xuanlang.

Today, she persuaded Qin Xuanlang to do it as soon as possible, just to find the balance of the contract as soon as possible.

"Nature."

After a while, the two of them had already walked to the gate of the palace, Qin Xuanlang had already changed into his palace clothes and waited under the eaves, and after seeing the banquet with Qin Xuanlang, he leaned over slightly and took it without saying much.

"Today can frighten me, you are too faceless to give the ministers in the main hall."

Liu Yichen thought about all the remarks of Yanxin today, and Yanxin secretly sweated for her.

But Yan Xin didn't care, thinking about His Majesty's current situation, and his father's and brother's position, His Majesty didn't dare to act rashly even if he was really angry.

Besides, what is the one thing that Yan Xin did today that is not reasonable?

"Everything is planned, my brother doesn't have to worry."

Liu Yichen didn't continue to find fault with her, but just asked, "What about Lu Mang?" ”

"My senior brother is still in the princess's mansion, and it is inconvenient for me to show up now, so I can only let her go and help me talk." Yan Xin was shocked, and almost exposed Lu Mang's identity, so he could only lie.

That's right, the senior brother is still in the princess's mansion, and now Luo Yunxi's identity is embarrassing, and it is not good to come forward at will before he finishes this play, so it is better to let Gu Baixiu accompany him to Qingchuan Pavilion.

That catkins girl took great pains, if she didn't give face, how could she be worthy of these people who entered the game?
