"Second brother, there shouldn't be any threat to the fifth child, what kind of waves can a sick son set off, I think he can't even take care of his own life, how can he have the mind to compete for the position." When the fourth prince saw that the second prince actually counted the fifth child who rarely showed his face on weekdays, he felt a little funny, and secretly said that the second brother was too careful.

The second prince didn't refute, just waved his hand and said: "You can handle the affairs of the fifth child yourself, anyway, it's always right to be careful, okay, it's not too early, let's go first." ”

After that, the two of them didn't say anything more, looked around again, and after making sure that there was no one, they left together. It was always certain that the person had gone away, and Li Qiren, who was hiding behind, pulled Xia Yuhua out from behind.

Li Qiren naturally listened to the conversation just now, and it was clear and clear, although the fourth prince did not finish speaking, but the meaning of that sentence could not be clearer. With Xia Dongqing's current influence and weight, it is naturally impossible for his daughter to give the prince who already has a princess as a side room, so it is very likely that the emperor will take today's opportunity to take Xia Yuhua as a concubine.

With Xia Yuhua's intelligence, he should be able to understand it, but Li Qiren can't see the slightest abnormality in her at all. Her expression was calm, without joy or sorrow or anger, as if what she had just heard had nothing to do with her.

"Yuhua, those two just now are the second prince and the fourth prince, they ......" Li Qiren seemed to hesitate, but after a while, he still said: "They just talked about your marriage, do you know it yourself?" ”

Xia Yuhua shook his head slightly, looked at Li Qiren and said, "If there is really something, how can the emperor let the Xia family know in advance." ”

Her meaning couldn't be more obvious, the emperor did this, it was clear that he wanted to be surprised, in front of so many people, if he directly sealed the concubine on such an occasion, even if they were ten thousand unwilling, they would not be able to resist the decree in person, so they naturally had to accept it. If it is revealed in advance, no matter how difficult it is, there is a chance to find a reason and excuse to shirk it, how can the emperor be so misguided.

"Then aren't you worried......" Li Qiren couldn't help but worry about Xia Yuhua when he heard it, although marrying the emperor as a concubine sounds like a great honor, but in fact, as soon as he enters the palace, he is equivalent to locking him in that ** for the rest of his life, and the emperor is already in his fifties, how can Xia Yuhua be willing to be the emperor's woman?

Seeing Li Qiren's concern, Xia Yuhua knew that he was really concerned about himself, so he had a good impression of Li Qiren in his heart. For the public, the emperor is the king, Li Qiren is the minister, and for the private part, the emperor is his uncle, and it is reasonable for him to stand on the emperor's side. But now he made no secret of his objections to the matter, obviously on her side in his heart, worried about her.

Smiling slightly, Xia Yuhua was still calm as usual: "I'm not worried." ”

"Why? Don't...... Are you willing to enter the palace? Li Qiren asked puzzled.

Although it seems that if this is the case, it seems that Xia Yuhua is willing or not, but it is one thing to respect the will, and it is another thing to be willing or not. At the moment, they know a little bit in advance, and they can still think of a way together first.

"How is it possible, don't say it's me, I think most women in the world can't be willing, you understand the reason." Xia Yuhua said with an affirmative face: "It's just that I know in my heart that I can't be so rich and noble anyway, so I have nothing to worry about." ”

Speaking of this, a hint of secret joy flashed in her heart, if it was just her own guess before, but now it has been confirmed from the side. Whether it is a rainy day or foresight, the arrangements have been made in advance, so that no matter what the emperor wants, the hidden dangers can be eliminated in advance.

Recalling what her father said in the carriage, she couldn't help but smile, although it wasn't a special method, and even people used to use such tricks before, but so what? It is practical and convenient, and it is enough for the emperor to have to dispel ideas that should not be there.

Li Qiren didn't understand why Xia Yuhua was able to be so sure and calm at this time, saying that she was not worried that such a thing would happen. Originally, he wanted to say something more, but when he saw the confident and indifferent smile on Xia Yuhua's lips, he couldn't help but close his mouth and stopped asking.

I don't know what's going on, I can't question what she just said inexplicably, and Li Qiren is not convenient to ask the reason, I can only hope that everything is as Xia Yuhua said.

"Let's go back too, I guess the hour is almost up." He coughed lightly, he was still a little uncomfortable at the moment, and overheard the conversation between the second prince and the fourth prince, not to mention, but also involved Xia Yuhua beside him, but he couldn't help anything. Originally, it was also well-intentioned, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen.

Xia Yuhua didn't care so much, nodded in agreement, and then the two walked back, and there was no need to say anything, as if there was a tacit understanding, but no one said anything about what happened just now.

Eavesdropping on the prince's conversation itself is big or small, plus what the two said is not a good thing, if it is spread out and known, neither the emperor nor the two princes will give up easily, once it is traced, the unlucky ones are none other than Xia Yuhua and Li Qiren.

Therefore, for smart people, this kind of thing does not need to be deliberately said at all, and it will automatically choose to ignore it, and it is the best way to deal with it if you have never heard of it.

When I returned to the most lively banquet place in the Imperial Garden, the emperor and queen had not yet arrived, but the second prince and the fourth prince had already arrived. Although it was a little far away, Xia Yuhua still recognized it at a glance.

Seeing that Xia Yuhua finally came back, Xia Dongqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't see his daughter after talking to other people before, and he was worried that this girl would go too far and delay the hour.

"Yu'er, wasn't the little waiter of Princess Qingning's family who came back with you just now?" Xia Dongqing took Xia Yuhua to the seat behind him and sat down, turned around and whispered: "When did you know Xiao Houye, why has my father never heard you talk about it?" ”

When Yuhua came back with the little Hou Ye just now, the little Hou Ye seemed to take good care of Yuhua, and it shouldn't be like the one they just met. This little Hou Ye is not like an ordinary royal child, Princess Qingning's family tutor is notoriously good, in Xia Dongqing's opinion, this little Hou Ye is much stronger than that Zheng Shi'an.

"Daddy, don't get me wrong, Xiao Hou Ye and I are just ordinary friends, we met last time at the birthday dinner of the county lord of Yunyang." Xia Yuhua immediately understood his father's voice, and said with a smile: "He is in the palace and is familiar with this place, and it is strange and pitiful to see his daughter alone, so he will take me around to see." ”
