The moment Hua Zijing stepped into the door of the main hall, the noisy voices in the hall stopped abruptly in an instant, and everyone returned to their places, watching Hua Zijing step by step onto the vacant dragon chair.

Although the enthronement ceremony will not be carried out until next month, in the case of His Majesty's early death and the ruling Huasang princess Xue Shi, Hua Zijing, the crown prince, except that he has not officially ascended the throne, everything is of no benefit to the emperor.

"Meet His Royal Highness the Prince, and hope that His Highness will be blessed and safe."

After the uniform voice, Hua Zijing stood on the Nine Curved Dragon Steps, looked down from a high place, and spoke quite calmly. "Let's get up."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The right prime minister, who came with Hua Zijing's side, was the first to get up and sit down.

Hua Zijing stood on the Nine Curved Dragon Steps, looked around the hall condescendingly, and then slowly moved to the only vacant seat in the hall, and spoke in a deep voice.

"How can the king of Zhennan still have a future?"

Hua Zi is respectful and has a distinct youthful voice, but because his face is silent at the moment, the fierceness that was originally hidden between his eyebrows is delicate at this moment, and he still has a bit of monarchical bearing.

Yun Zhen looked at Hua Zijing from afar, with mixed feelings in her heart, and she didn't know what it was like.

Hua Zijing's words were loud and sound, and they became more and more abrupt in this originally silent hall.

What is Sikong Ao's current situation, those who can enter the court as officials are a little smart, and they know in their hearts that once Hua Zijing takes the throne, he must recover the military power from Sikong Ao.

Sikong Ao originally had a shallow foundation in the court, and since Hua Zijing had already expressed his attitude of recovering military power, those officials who did not have a deep friendship with Sikong Ao broke off contact with Sikong Ao and kept their distance.

Therefore, at this moment, Hua Zijing just asked, and no one in this huge hall spoke.

Hua Zijing's eyes looked around the hall, although because of the distance, Yun Zhen couldn't see the subtle expression on Hua Zijing's face, but she faintly felt that Hua Zijing was very satisfied with this situation.

It's just that after all, Hua Zijing can't be cold, the right minister paused, deliberately left a gap, and then bowed out of the queue and replied in a deep voice.

"Back to His Royal Highness, the King of Zhennan is happy...."

"This king is late, and I hope His Royal Highness will forgive his sins."

It's just that Hua Zijing's words didn't fall, Sikong Ao hurried from outside the hall, he wore a pure black robe today, and the corners of the robe outlined a beast that could not see the race, but was very vicious, that is, he was in a hurry, and he changed his robe at will, and he couldn't hide the killing decisiveness that he always carried.

It was a momentum that had been cultivated over time from the battlefield.

Sikong Ao stood still at the foot of the steps, and then bowed to Huazi and pleaded in a low voice.

Hua Zijing lowered his eyes and looked at Sikong Ao, although Sikong Ao was hanging his head at the moment, his back was straight, and between he raised his head and Hua Zijing looked at each other, there was an undisguised trace of arrogance between his eyebrows and eyes, and the momentum made Hua Zijing feel very uncomfortable.

Hua Zijing seemed to be enraged by Sikong Ao's eyes.

Between the eyes of the two, a touch of anger gradually appeared on Hua Zijing's face.

And Sikong Ao always maintained that tepid appearance, Hua Zijing didn't call him to get up, he didn't move, his figure was still upright and motionless.

The right minister coughed lightly, Hua Zijing seemed to come back to his senses, and after lowering his eyes and intersecting with the right minister, he slowly turned around and sat down, and only then did he forcibly suppress the displeasure at the bottom of his eyes.

After all, such a banquet today is not for entertaining Sikong Ao.

Hua Zijing picked up the wine cup placed on the table, the corners of his lips pursed slightly, and said in a low voice. "The king of Zhennan is late, so he should be fined three glasses of wine."

As soon as Hua Zijing's words fell, a eunuch immediately brought a wine pot and a wine glass and sent it to Sikong Ao.

Sikong Ao looked down at the small wine cup, he looked at the wine cup for too long, so long that others thought that he would be disrespectful, but unexpectedly, Sikong Ao suddenly reached over the wine cup, reached out and directly scooped up the wine pot, raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Sikong is just a vulgar person who can only fight, since His Highness does not blame Sikong for losing his honor in front of the palace, Sikong will punish himself with a pot of wine."

Hua Zijing's face was ugly for a moment, he asked him to punish him with three glasses of wine, but Sikong Ao jumped over him directly, deliberately picked up the wine jug and drank, and said that he was self-sarcastic, if he was worried about him?

On the contrary, he has a small belly?

It's just that after seeing the look of the right minister, Hua Zijing finally forcibly suppressed the injustice in his heart, and then said lightly.

"The king of Zhennan has returned to the throne."

Hua Zijing turned the cup in his hand slightly, and lowered his eyes to remove the deep malice in his eyes.

There will be opportunities in the future.

"Yun Xiu." Yun Zhen leaned slightly and sat down slightly to the side, Hua Yunxiu, who had lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, raised his head and handed Yun Zhen a look.

Yun Hao pondered for a moment, then asked. "Later, I need to go out, you cover it up for me."

Yun Zhen's voice was extremely low, and only Hua Yunxiu, who was close to her, could hear it clearly.

Hua Yunxiu's eyes flashed slightly, and he didn't ask where she was going, but only nodded slightly under her gaze.

Between Yun Zhen and Yun Xiu's conversation, Hua Zijing had already said some grandiose greetings, and at this moment, his voice changed, and then he began to hint that the vassal kings in the banquet would definitely return to the fiefdom after the beginning of next month.

Yun Zhen was finishing explaining to Hua Yunxiu, and the corner of her eye suddenly caught a condensed gaze in her direction, and her words couldn't help but froze slightly.

I didn't look at who the owner of the sight was, but Yun Zhen also estimated it in her heart, and looked up.

But I saw Li Jingrui, who was shaking the cup in his hand, smiling and slightly raising her chin, without hiding the deep malice in his eyes.

Yun Hao's brows furrowed slightly, and then she withdrew her gaze.

It's just that she can clearly feel that Li Jingrui's gaze has been lingering on her body frequently.

Yun Zhen's heart couldn't help but sink slightly, looking at Li Jingrui's virtue, I'm afraid I need to keep an eye on myself tonight?

Hua Yunxiu was close to Yun Zhen, but he hadn't paid attention to it before, but when he saw Li Jingrui pouring himself a drink, but a pair of eyes kept staring at Yun Zhen's direction, his eyes flashed slightly unconsciously, and his body leaned towards Yun Zhen's direction, covering most of Yun Zhen's body.

"Sister Wang?"

"Do you need me to lure him away for you?"

Li Jingrui is so unscrupulous, Yun Zhen feels more and more that today is a Hongmen banquet, although Hua Zijing looks safe now, but who knows when he will break out?

Then she will move faster and faster.

Yun Zhen's chin raised slightly, nodded slightly at Hua Yunxiu, and whispered. "Be careful."

Hua Yunxiu replied and left the table.

As the night deepened, Yun Zhen stayed in the hall for a few more moments, and only after Li Jingrui's figure had left at some point did she quietly get up and leave the table.

Inside the hall, the cups were changed, and the voices were boiling, but the outside of the hall was very quiet.

After Yun Hao stepped out of the hall, the bleak night wind whistled the corners of her robe.

Refusing to be followed by the palace people, Yun Zhen dodged through the night, dodged the guards patrolling the palace little by little, and touched in the direction of the imperial study.

If it weren't for Yun Zhen, who grew up in this palace since she was a child, she was able to take advantage of the terrain and hide her figure, and she was afraid that she would be caught early.

It's just that no matter how vigilant Yun Hao is, she didn't notice that after she left the table, a tall figure also followed closely.

.....

When Li Jingrui returned to the banquet, he immediately noticed that Hua Yunzhen, who was supposed to be sitting quietly in the banquet, was gone, his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes wandered around the hall.

There are many people who don't like the noise in the hall, but not many people leave the table.

Li Jingrui's gaze wandered around the hall, and finally stopped at the vacant position opposite, his eyes narrowed slightly.

waved his hand casually, and a guard immediately stepped forward behind him.

"See?" Li Jingrui's voice was extremely soft, and it was almost covered in this noisy hall, but fortunately, the guard's ears were very good, so he could hear it clearly.

He immediately shook his head and said. "Not really."

After asking several people in a row and only getting this answer, Li Jingrui's face became more and more difficult to look at.

When Li Jingrui stood up and wanted to leave the table, he unexpectedly was stopped by a eunuch who stretched out his hand.

"The prince stays."

Li Jingrui looked down at the eunuch who was blocking him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and before he could say anything, he heard the eunuch speak again. "Your Highness, please."

Ling Guo can be called His Royal Highness, only Hua Zijing is alone.

Li Jingrui couldn't help but look up at Hua Zijing's position and found that Hua Zijing had left the table at some point and disappeared.

Li Jingrui nodded slightly silently, and then followed the eunuch to the side hall.

It's just that Li Jingrui left, Hua Yunxiu's figure immediately appeared in the main hall, he silently glanced at the direction where Li Jingrui left, and then stood in place, glancing in the direction of Liu Qingqing, with a trace of coldness in his eyes.

Turning his head to look at the maid beside him, the corners of Hua Yunxiu's lips were slightly hooked.

The maid immediately received the order.

The boudoir lady who was sitting intimately with Liu Qingqing covered her lips slightly, and when she heard what Liu Qingqing said, she couldn't help waving her hand, and a shy look appeared on her face. "Qingqing, what are you talking nonsense?"

Liu Qingqing had a faint smile between her eyebrows, and she clearly sneered at what this young lady said, seeing that Miss Li's eyes had been lingering on her brother, where would she not know what Miss Li was thinking when she came to talk to herself?

But in the end, she was deep in the city, and she didn't say anything, and continued to talk to the young lady.

"Ahh The two of them talked happily, the Miss Li was probably a little thirsty, and she was about to drink the wine cup in her hand, but she was hit by someone, and then the wine cup in her hand poured out, and in the exclamation of the two, even the wine pot placed on the table was also emptied.

Liu Qingqing couldn't dodge, and the transparent wine spilled on her body.

Miss Li was also splashed with wine, but she was very frightened and took out the handkerchief to wipe it for Liu Qingqing.

"Qingqing, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Liu Qingqing couldn't help but feel a little troubled in her heart, and the smile on her face couldn't be hung up immediately, and she reached out to push away Miss Li's hand, and there was already a layer of coldness in her voice.

"It doesn't matter."
