At the banquet, Li Huanting finally showed up.

Mrs. Li grabbed her and asked quietly, "Where have you been?" I sent people to look around, but you didn't find it. I heard that the eldest prince is coming, why didn't he see others? ”

"He should go!" Li Huanting was in a low mood.

Mrs. Li frowned, a little dissatisfied, and complained in a low voice: "The etiquette is too bad." I don't know if I come to the door. ”

"Father has seen him. He also gave a generous gift. Li Huanting still couldn't help but speak for the eldest prince Xiao Chengye.

Mrs. Li snorted coldly, "Girls are outgoing, as expected. Before he got married, he began to help him speak. ”

Li Huanting opened her mouth, "I, mother, I'm a little uncomfortable and want to go back to my room to rest." ”

Mrs. Li was stunned, "Today's banquet, all the people with heads and faces in the capital are here." When you leave at this time, what kind of system will you become? You haven't said where you ran before? Could it be that he secretly went to see His Royal Highness the Great Prince? ”

Li Huanting did not deny it.

Mrs. Li secretly pinched her, "Greet the guests well, and be sure to be courteous." ”

Li Huanting nodded and responded.

She cheered up and greeted the ladies of all families.

When she toasted Yan Yunqi, she lost the hostility she had when she first met, but was a little embarrassed.

Yan Yunqi didn't understand it at all, the other party changed quickly, so she couldn't come back to her senses.

Waiting for the others to walk away, she quietly muttered to Yan Yunge, "Fourth sister, have you noticed that Miss Li is a little strange." ”

Yan Yunge glanced at Li Huanting's back, it would be strange if she was elated.

Her fiancé almost killed her, telling her how happy she was, how she laughed.

It is estimated that Li Huanting is hesitating and struggling in her heart, whether to marry His Royal Highness the Great Prince.

"Fourth sister, do you know anything?"

As soon as Yan Yunqi looked at Yan Yunge's eyes, she knew that things were not simple, and something must have happened.

Yan Yunge gestured, "Let's go back and talk about it!" ’

Yan Yunqi nodded, "You must tell me when you go back, I'm curious." ”

……

ate the banquet, listened to two scenes, and got acquainted with a group of wealthy ladies.

Before dark, depart for home.

Xiao Shi had a day of socializing and was tired. I wanted to go back to the room to rest directly, but when I learned that Yan Yunge had gossip to say, I suddenly had the spirit again.

Yan Yunqi urged: "Fourth sister, tell me quickly, what's going on with Li Huanting?" ”

Yan Yunge didn't sell Guanzi, she was very simple, and wrote: "His Royal Highness the eldest prince doesn't want to marry Li Huanting, saying that the Li family is dragging its feet, and asking Li Huanting to find a way to withdraw from the marriage." The two quarreled, and the eldest prince wanted to strangle Li Huanting to death. It is estimated that he thought that Li Huanting was dead, and the marriage could be withdrawn. ”

"And then?" Yan Yunqi was excited, it was really a big melon, but it was a pity that she forgot to prepare melon seeds and peanuts.

To eat melon, you have to serve melon seeds and peanuts, or a hot pot.

That's the correct posture for eating melons.

Yan Yunge continued: "Then I knocked the two people unconscious, and Li Huanting's maid took the person away. As for what happened to His Royal Highness the Great Prince, I don't know. ”

"What? Fourth sister, you actually knocked both of them unconscious? ”

Yan Yunqi beat her chest, she was knocked unconscious, how to eat melons.

It's a pity that there is no follow-up for such a big melon.

It's actually okay to stun just one.

Xiao Shi was not as excited as Yan Yunqi, she asked calmly: "Yunge, you can see clearly, the eldest prince really wants to strangle Li Huanting?" ”

Yan Yunge nodded heavily.

It was true, and she could see it clearly.

Xiao Shi asked again, "You didn't say anything about this, did you?" ”

Yan Yunge shook his head.

Her mouth was tight, and of course she wouldn't say anything about it.

Xiao Shi said: "Fortunately, you acted in time to stop His Royal Highness the Great Prince. You were right to knock both of you unconscious, and it would be a bad thing for you to see you when you were sober. ”

After a pause, she said again: "I only lack responsibility as the eldest prince, but I didn't expect him to have the courage to kill, and it was his fiancée who was killed." The eldest prince is a cowardly but vicious person, and he wants to withdraw from the Li family's marriage, but he has no courage to come forward, so he has to let Li Huanting pretend to be sick and pretend to be dead to escape. But I never thought about how much this would hurt a girl's family.

In the future, when you meet His Royal Highness the Great Prince, stay away from him. Especially Yunqi, you will marry into the royal family next year, look up and don't look down, don't provoke him, but don't be afraid of him. If he dares to disadvantage you, just hit back. Others instigated it, and when they hit it, they beat it. If he does something behind his back, you ask the second prince to come forward to clean him up. ”

Yan Yunqi asked, "Can the second prince clean up His Royal Highness the Great Prince?" ”

Xiao Shi smiled, "Don't underestimate His Royal Highness the Second Prince. The second prince has the ability to persuade Queen Tao to let His Majesty give you to marry him, which shows that he is a capable person. You must know that very few people can change Queen Tao's decision. Even His Royal Highness the Third Prince doesn't have the ability to do this. What others can't do, the second prince has done, this is his strength. Let him clean up His Royal Highness the Great Prince, little things.

In addition, His Royal Highness the Great Prince's vain attempt to kill Li Huanting should not be revealed. We don't go against the Tao family, but we don't have to increase the chips for Queen Tao. However, the next time Yun Qi has the opportunity to meet His Royal Highness the Second Prince, he can reveal the matter to him. Remember, it can only be revealed to His Royal Highness the Second Prince. ”

"Why is that?" Yan Yunqi was puzzled.

Xiao Shi pondered and said: "If I am not mistaken, His Royal Highness the Second Prince and Queen Tao are probably not of the same mind." ”

Mother and child centrifugation!

That's a big deal!

Yan Yunqi peeked at Yan Yunge.

Yan Yunge nodded at her, his eyes encouraging.

Only then did Yan Yunqi boldly say: "Mother, today in the Li family, my daughter met His Royal Highness the Second Prince. ”

Xiao Shi was surprised, "I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Second Prince to attend the Li family's banquet." ”

Yan Yunqi hesitated a little, "His Royal Highness the Second Prince seems to have the idea of competing for the position of the prince. ”

Xiao's expression was stunned, "He wants to compete for the position of prince?" ”

Yan Yunqi nodded heavily, "Although he didn't say it explicitly, what he said revealed such a meaning." ”

Xiao Shi suddenly laughed, "No wonder I don't think he and Empress Tao are of the same mind, and I was still curious about why." I see! I see! Everything makes sense. ”

"Does Empress Tao know that His Royal Highness the Second Prince has the idea of competing for the prince?" Yan Yunqi asked suddenly.

Xiao pondered for a moment, "I'm afraid Empress Tao doesn't know. As the saying goes, the lights are dark, His Royal Highness the Second Prince has been too low-key over the years, and he has almost no sense of existence except for your marriage. Such a sick prince, who does not participate in political affairs, does not form parties for personal gain, does not associate with courtiers, and hardly goes out, you say that he has the intention of seizing the prince, who can believe it? That is, we have just come to the capital, and the so-called bystander Qing has no fixed impression of him, but can see through him. ”

Yan Yunqi joked: "The fourth sister also asked me to work hard and strive to be the queen mother." ”

When Xiao Shi heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

After laughing, she said, "That's a good idea." ”

Yan Yunge looked stunned.

Even her mother agrees with her idea, which shows that there is a possibility of this thing being realized.

Xiao continued: "Since the second prince has the idea of seizing the prince, we might as well help him add fuel to the fire. There is no need to wait for the future, the eldest prince tried to kill Li Huanting, and he will send someone to tell the second prince tonight. Whether to use this matter, how to use it, he makes his own decision, we only provide information. ”

……

The Xiao family has many people in their hands.

Sending someone to secretly go to the Second Prince's Mansion to deliver the news is a trivial matter.

The second prince asked the messenger to bring a "thank you"!

Xiao asked the guards who passed the message, "Has His Royal Highness the Second Prince said anything else?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, the second prince said that you can't act rashly before the year, and everything will wait for the future."

"So there will be a big move in the imperial court after the year?"

"My subordinates don't know."

Xiao Shi snorted, "In the future, you will be responsible for liaising with the Second Prince's Mansion, and you must be secretive." ”

"Subordinates obey!"

……

Late at night!

Xingqing Palace!

Emperor Yongtai has not yet rested.

The great eunuch Sun Bangnian personally served around Emperor Yongtai.

He saw the opportunity and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the old slave heard a piece of news about His Royal Highness the Great Prince today, and I don't know whether to say it or not. ”

"Old thief, they all spoke, what else can't be said." Emperor Yongtai teased.

Sun Bangnian's father-in-law said cautiously: "The old slave heard that His Royal Highness the eldest prince tried in vain to kill Li Huanting in order to withdraw from the marriage. was hit by someone, but it didn't succeed. ”

Emperor Yongtai's face sank, "Is this serious?" ”

"Eighty percent true."

Syllable!

Emperor Yongtai was furious and kicked over the stool.

"Rebel! When I gave birth to him, I should have drowned him directly. He didn't want to marry Li Huanting, so why didn't he just go into the palace and tell me? Fool, he tried to kill people and get married, and I wanted to kill him. ”

Emperor Yongtai was furious, pulled out the sharp sword hanging on the wall, and slashed at the bookcase.

Sun Bangnian and Sun Gonggong were startled, and they were terrified.

He hurriedly persuaded, "Your Majesty is angry! His Royal Highness the eldest prince is embarrassed, how can he have the courage to enter the palace and express his heart directly. ”

Emperor Yongtai turned his head sharply and stared at Sun Bangnian, "Are you blaming me?" ”

"The old slave doesn't dare!" Sun Bangnian's grandfather and grandfather puffed and knelt down directly, "The old slave is worried about Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Yongtai smiled coldly, "That idiot, you still speak for him." I didn't posthumously seal his birth mother, originally just to protect him. What did he do? I gave him a chance again and again, but he disappointed me again and again. Now he is trying to kill people and get married. I've never seen such a fool. What is the use of me keeping him, it is better to kill him with a knife, so as not to be embarrassed. ”

"Your Majesty think twice!"

Sun Bangnian and Sun Gonggong persuaded him.

Emperor Yongtai kicked him over.

The Son of Heaven was furious and walked up and down the dormitory, so angry that he wanted to destroy everyone.

It was not easy to suppress the anger.

He asked Sun Bangnian, "Who broke the eldest prince's murder and divorce." ”

Sun Bangnian's father-in-law hurriedly said: "The old slave is incompetent, and he hasn't found it yet." ”

Emperor Yongtai gritted his teeth, "Check, you must find out this person." No matter who this person is, there is no mercy for killing! The news of murder and divorce must not be allowed to spread, let alone reach the ears of the queen. ”

"The old slave obeys!"
