20. The enemy meets
When there were only two people left in the room, Orchid helped her hang her cloak on the shelf.
Taking advantage of the gap, Wen Qian glanced at the furnishings of the room, there was no gorgeous configuration, but a table, a chair, a grass and a tree were elegant and comfortable. took a sip of green tea, the tea was fragrant and mellow, and there was a feeling of hometown.
The status of Hu Ji in the mansion is much higher than Wen Qian, but her attitude is quite thoughtful and considerate, neither humble nor arrogant, and her gestures are full of atmosphere, no wonder Yu Wenxu likes her.
"The princess came here on purpose, she won't just have a sip of tea, right?"
Smart people don't need to beat around the bush, Wen Qian put down the teacup, took out a string of pearl necklaces from her sleeve, and pushed it in front of Orchid.
The pearls on the necklace are smooth in color and round enough to be the size of a thumbnail, which is worth a lot of money at first glance.
"What are you?"
Hu Ji glanced at the pearl necklace and then at Wen Qian.
Wen Qian looked her in the eyes and didn't say much, only said,
"Thank you so much yesterday."
"The princess is serious, such a valuable thing should be more than a thank you gift."
Orchid smiled.
Wen Qian also smiled and said bluntly, "There is something I want to ask you." ”
Orchid raised his eyebrows.
Wen Qian continued, "Help me enter the palace." ”

It was night, the Anxia Palace was decorated with lights, singing and dancing, and the sound of feasting and music hovered in the glorious zenith.
King Anxia sat on the main seat of the main hall, his round face full of red smiles. The princes, nobles, and allied envoys at the bottom smiled one by one, celebrating that the great revenge of Anxia Kingdom for many years had finally been avenged.
Xiao Liang, the second prince of Ganling, was arranged as the chief guest, second only to Wang's eldest son, Yu Wenxu.
During the banquet, King Anxia raised his glass several times and invited Xiao Liang to drink together, admiring his terrifying future life, and his words were full of the care and love of his elders. The officials also toasted Ganling one after another, and the atmosphere in the hall was quite harmonious for a while.
Yu Wenxu drank all the liquor in his hand, quickly filled the goblet again, and held Xiao Liang's shoulder and gave a grand toast. His eyes were full of smiles, and his attitude was kind, which made Xiao Liang's originally tense face not insist too much.
After three rounds of drinking, Xiao Liang's face turned a lot red.
Yu Wenxu laughed and patted him on the back, "Second prince Wang Han, I'll toast you again." ”
Xiao Liang quietly pushed him away, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"What is the ability of a hero at the wine table, let's compete in private. Also, you'd better tell me sooner, where is she? Otherwise, I'm not kind to you. ”
The two were close to each other, and there was a smile on their faces, which seemed very close to outsiders.
"She? In my prison, do you dare to come and take it? ”
"Bastard, I'll kill you." Xiao Liang gritted his teeth.
Yu Wenxu smiled and took two steps away from him, and then loudly told everyone at the banquet about his relationship with Xiao Liang in the Daqing Palace when he was a child.
"I said goodbye at that time, and I don't want to have a chance to meet again now."
King Anxia understood his intentions as soon as he heard it, and smiled and asked them to leave the scene first to reminisce, and told him to entertain the second prince well. Yu Wenxu naturally obeyed.
The two princes retired, and as soon as they left the door of the banquet hall, the smiles on their faces disappeared at the same time.
There was no more conversation between the two along the way.
Yu Wenxu walked in front, Xiao Liang walked behind, and the two passed through the winding palace corridor and heavy palace gates, and came to a quiet palace in the southwest.
The main hall of the garden was lit up, and the dim candlelight was shining outward. The two of them waved off their attendants and stepped into the room one after the other.
As soon as the door closed behind Yu Wenxu, Xiao Liang turned around violently and swung his fist at Yu Wenxu's front door.
