Chapter 157: A Chance Encounter

"Your Highness, why did you change the place where the banquet was held, so that they could make an extra trip." The crown princess, who was sitting beside the crown prince, asked suspiciously.

The prince patted her hands, looked at the curtain hanging in front of the car, and said nothing.

He has just recovered from a serious illness, and has just regained the trust of the emperor, if he is in the palace at this moment to feast his ministers with great fanfare, and is informed by someone who cares about the emperor, maybe his father will think that he is stubborn, pampered and arrogant, and then, the courtiers who oppose him take this opportunity to join him, and it will set off a storm.

It's better to use the excuse of going out to pray for blessings and quietly go out of the palace to avoid people's eyes.

When the crown princess saw that the prince didn't say anything, she knew that he had a certain number in her heart, so she obediently shut up and stopped asking.

At this time, the carriage suddenly braked suddenly, and the prince did not sit firmly and almost fell out.

After the car stopped, the crown princess lifted the corner of the curtain and asked the coachman, "What's the matter?" ”

The princess's tone was slightly dissatisfied, which made the coachman a little frightened, and hurriedly buckled the reins of the horse control firmly in his hand, and replied to the princess's words: "I just walked to the corner of the road, and the small one had already driven slowly, and I didn't want a carriage to gallop out, so the little one hurriedly pulled the reins." ”

The prince, who heard the whole story clearly, waved his hand and said that it was okay, and let the coachman continue to hurry, but unexpectedly, the carriage that was hurrying in front of them stopped on the road and blocked their way.

After a long time, a man walked down from the carriage and came to the prince's carriage.

"I'm sorry to stop you in your way." The man took a stand and apologized properly.

The prince lifted the curtain and met a pair of familiar eyes.

"Second brother?"

"Second Highness?"

The crown prince and the crown princess spoke in unison.

Xia Nanfeng shook the fan in his hand with a smile, and there seemed to be surprise in his eyes: "It turned out to be His Highness." ”

The prince smiled at him, and he didn't know if it was because of the poisoning last time, and a strange feeling rose in his heart.

"How could the second brother be like this again?"

At this point, if he hadn't had a banquet set up, he would definitely be in the palace, how could Xia Nanfeng still appear here.

He couldn't figure it out.

Xia Nanfeng saw his thoughts, so he said: "I went to the city to find something fresh and interesting for my little nephew, but I didn't expect it to be dark, so I rushed to the palace non-stop." ”

After speaking, he glanced at the prince inquiringly.

"Brother Huang, it's so late, where are you and your sister-in-law going?"

The crown princess coughed a few times, and the prince turned his head and gently hugged her: "Your imperial sister-in-law occasionally feels cold today, and her mind is tired, and she can't help but miss her relatives at home, so I will accompany her back to the house to chat for relief, and her illness may be better." ”

Xia Nanfeng put away the fan, his smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, and he made a gesture of please: "In this case, then it is inconvenient for me to block the road anymore and miss the time of the imperial brother." ”

After saying this, he glanced at the coachman, who immediately understood, drove his horse, and made way for the prince.

The prince nodded, and as the car moved, he lowered the door curtain, and his expression returned to his former coldness.

Xia Nanfeng looked at the carriage that the prince was driving farther and farther away, and a disdainful smile tugged at the corner of his mouth?

Visit? I'm afraid there's something you don't want him to know, right?

"Your Highness, are we going to go with us?"

Xia Nanfeng shook his hand, no need.

The prince has just recovered from a serious illness, and he is nothing more than going to find those dog legs that support him, which is not surprising.

At present, his good situation can be destroyed by those few ineffective subordinates, and if he wants to bring down the prince and the power of the Hou Mansion, I am afraid that it will be delayed for a while.

"But it's still here?" Mingyuexi yawned, boredly playing with her hair hanging down her chest.

She lifted the curtain and looked out the window, it didn't seem to be in the direction of the palace, but like... Like Hongyue Building?

"Coachman, where are we going?"

The coachman turned his head and replied to her: "The girl doesn't know, the little marquis asked us to send you to the Hongyue Building." ”

Is it really Hongyue Building? Didn't he also refuse the prince and want to take him to eat and drink?

When the carriage stopped safely at Hongyue Tower, Mingyuexi knew that the prince had relocated the banquet here.

When she arrived at the private room, she saw Lu Min'er, who had come over early in the morning, and hurriedly stepped forward.

This floor is a place where only the top wealthy dignitaries are eligible to book, and it is divided into an inner hall and an outer hall.

Lu Min'er and her were female dependents, and the two were taken to the inner hall by the maids there, and the men casually talked in the outer hall separated by a screen.

The two of them gathered around the table, and Mingyuexi leaned against Lu Min'er and asked in a low voice, "Do you know who came today?" ”

Lu Min'er nodded: "The female dependents are you and me, as well as the crown princess." ”

Mingyuexi looked at a large table of dishes with some astonishment, there were three people in total, and the dishes on this table were almost uncontrollable, and the ancient royal family was really willing to put it down.

Mingyuexi smacked her tongue secretly on the side, and the men outside were all there, and they vaguely heard some noisy sounds.

"Listening to that tone, it seems that the sacrificial wine is also coming?" Mingyuexi was attached to the screen, and it was vaguely visible that there were four or five people standing outside.

At this time, the belated princess walked in from outside, and Lu Min'er hurriedly pulled Mingyuexi to sit down.

Seeing that Mingyuexi was dressed so beautifully today, the crown princess couldn't help but praise a few words: "The girl is really gorgeous today, not as sassy as a few days ago, but has a little softness in her daughter's house." ”

Mingyuexi was praised by the crown princess, and glanced at Lu Min'er with some embarrassment.

The crown princess smiled at her reaction and took out a beautiful box.

"A little respect, as a thank you for saving the prince last time."

The crown princess sent the gift to Mingyuexi with both hands, Mingyuexi was flattered and held the gift, and then asked the Diecui next to her to put it away carefully for her.

At the beginning of the banquet, the topics between the men were nothing more than about the past, but Mingyuexi's side was more lively and comfortable.

Although there is a crown princess, her age is not as old as Mingyuexi, but she has to control her subordinates on weekdays, and her face is tight, but now she is a close person, and there is not too much restraint.

After three rounds of drinking, Mingyuexi's face was slightly red, she patted the table lightly, and said to the crown princess with some pride: "I'll teach you to play with a sieve!" ”

Diecui on the side looked at the slightly drunk Mingyue Creek with some surprise, there was still the crown princess here, and she lost her sense of proportion.

The crown princess looked at Mingyuexi with a smile, she looked so bold, just like when she was not out of the cabinet, she didn't see annoyance, and she responded happily, "Okay!" ”

Lu Min'er on the side saw Mingyuexi chatting with the crown princess, and also exchanged the most fashionable dice games in the capital at the moment, and was also a little surprised like Diecui.

Suddenly, there was a sound of cups falling from the other side of the screen.
