Xia Dongqing didn't say how he prepared for it, but he looked extremely confident, and it was impossible to say this to his daughter so confidently without absolute certainty.

And Xia Yuhua didn't ask much, she knew her father's ability, and she didn't have to deal with thousands of troops, let alone deal with a small crisis predicted in advance. The father and daughter did not delay any longer, said goodbye to the Ruan family, and went out to get in the car and go straight to the direction of the palace.

Sitting in the carriage, Xia Yuhua couldn't help but think of some things in his previous life. It's also a little interesting to think about it, in his previous life, he didn't even enter the palace once, even Lu Wushuang, just a mere prime minister's concubine, followed his family into the palace to participate in other banquets, although he was only far away and even the emperor never saw it clearly.

And she, maybe because her reputation is too bad, maybe because her father is too stubborn and afraid that she will get into trouble, so he never took her into the palace.

However, she cared about these things at all, the palace kind of place was not the slightest attraction to her, this was the case in her previous life, and even more so in this life. If she could, she would rather never set foot there, as she had done in her previous life. But she knew in her heart that because of her father and the Xia family, in the future, she was afraid that she would inevitably compete with the so-called master in the palace. If you want to change the misfortunes of your previous life, the emperor is naturally the key to deal with the most.

And today should be regarded as the first official confrontation, of course, the emperor does not know, and the others do not know, only she knows all this in her heart. The emperor is powerful, and the power in her hands is incomparable, but she has the foresight and foreknowledge of many things in the future, and from this point of view, she is occupying the initiative.

Without revealing the slightest inner thought, Xia Yuhua has learned to use calmness as his best external expression, and his heart is stronger day by day, and calmness has become a habit, a pampered and unfazed elegance.

The speed of the carriage gradually slowed down, and after a slight glance through the gap in the curtain, he found that he had reached the gate of the palace, according to the rules, the carriage of the Wang Houjia could go all the way to the middle gate, and when they arrived at those, all the people had to get off the car and walk, and the palace people who were specially waiting to guide the way before they could continue to move forward.

As soon as she got out of the car, Xia Yuhua saw that another carriage was arriving, and she didn't need to look closely, she immediately recognized that it was someone from Prince Duan's mansion. Out of etiquette, knowing who is coming, they must not be able to leave first as if they did not see it.

Soon, Prince Duan and his wife got out of the car under the service of the palace people, and followed by Zheng Shi'an and the county lord of Yunyang. As the eldest son and eldest daughter of Prince Duan's mansion, the arrival of Zheng Shi'an and Yunyang was completely expected by Xia Yuhua.

Xia Dongqing quickly stepped forward to greet Prince Duan and his wife, and the words were all the same set of words on the scene, and there was nothing else special. And Xia Yuhua waited at the back, quiet and peaceful, and even the palace people on the side couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

It was the first time she had entered the palace, and those palace people had never seen her, so it was normal to look at her twice, but Xia Yuhua felt that there was another gaze that had been watching her, and she didn't look sideways and didn't want to pay attention to it. There is no need to guess that the owner of that gaze must be Zheng Shi'an, who has always been disgusted with her before.

"I haven't seen Yuhua go to the mansion to play for a few days, and they all say that the eighteenth change of the female university, look at the fact that I haven't seen such a demure and beautiful appearance in just a few months, no wonder even the emperor wants to specially summon her to the palace to participate in the banquet, it is really different." Prince Duan didn't know when she fell her eyes on Xia Yuhua who was behind, and she didn't know if she really felt different, or if she was polite, anyway, she drew everyone's attention to Xia Yuhua all of a sudden.

Seeing this, Xia Dongqing said with a smile: "The princess is really raising this child, this child is very ambitious, and it makes people worry a lot, but the princess is not so good." It's just that I'm finally a little more sensible these days, but it just saves me a little bit of worry as a father. ”

"Yu'er, why don't you hurry up and come over to see the princess and princess!" Xia Dongqing turned around and beckoned to Xia Yuhua as he spoke, motioning for her to come forward and say hello to Prince Duan and his wife.

Xia Yuhua obeyed his orders, stepped forward to salute Prince Duan and his wife in front of him, and behaved generously and decently, but there was nothing to be faulted with.

"Sister Yuhua has really become everyone's lady now." Yunyang on the side said playfully: "Another day, I have to ask Sister Yuhua for the secret recipe to make progress in the shortest possible time, so that my mother will always say that I don't look like a lady." ”

Yunyang has always spoken directly, in fact, she doesn't have any other thoughts, she just sincerely approves of Xia Yuhua's transformation, but when she hears other people's ears, she always feels that there is a hint of ridicule in it, who made Xia Yuhua's previous reputation too bad.

"What nonsense are you talking about, you kid!" Prince Duan and Princess Duan hurriedly glanced at Xia Dongqing and Xia Yuhua, a trace of embarrassment flashed on her face, and she immediately reprimanded Yunyang and said, "Cheng Tian is not in shape, when will I be able to let me worry more." ”

Xia Dongqing naturally knew what Prince Duan was thinking, so he hurriedly started a round, making the atmosphere even more awkward for Yunyang's unintentional words. After changing the topic, he said two more sentences, and it looked like the time was almost up, so he took the opportunity to let the palace people lead the way and continue to move forward.

Seeing this, Prince Duan and his wife naturally agreed, and the Hundred Flowers Banquet was set in the Imperial Garden, so the group quickly went to the direction of the Imperial Garden under the guidance of the palace people.

Prince Duan and Xia Dongqing walked side by side in front chatting, and Yunyang was pulled by Prince Duan and Princess Duan because of what happened just now. Xia Yuhua naturally couldn't walk in front of Prince Duan, so he had to follow behind.

Originally, it was nothing to walk behind, but Zheng Shi'an, who was partial, was not far or close, followed quickly and slowly, and almost walked side by side with her. It's nothing to walk side by side, but Zheng Shi'an keeps looking at her, which makes her very unhappy. But she didn't want to distance herself from Zheng Shi'an too deliberately, so she had to pretend that she didn't know what to do, and walked her own way without squinting.

To be honest, she really doesn't like this feeling at the moment, she would rather Zheng Shi'an hide when she sees him as usual, and she doesn't want him to keep looking at her with such complicated eyes. That look made her feel a little disgusting!

Suddenly, her arm was silently grabbed by Zheng Shi'an, and this sudden move made Xia Yuhua even more displeased.

"What do you do, let go!" She lowered her voice and glanced at Zheng Shi'an, not wanting to alarm the people in front of her.

PS: It's Zhou Wei again, I wish you all a lot of fun :)
