Xiao Yuehuai stared at the little eunuch boy and could see it, the curvature of the corners of his mouth slowly rose, but gradually pressed down, as if he was happy for a while and fell into sadness.

In the previous life, Lin Buyao had the grace to protect her, and in this life, he is a noble person who helps her.

Xiao Yuehuai felt both gratitude and guilt in her heart.

Guiltily, she finally chose to start her chess game with such a childish feeling. She knew that as long as she kept Lin Buyao, even if Lin Bujing was unwilling to be with her in the future, she would not harm Haoyue Palace for her own interests.

Xiao Yuehuai took a deep breath, shook his hand, and the sweat in his heart calmed down, and his eyes became darker and darker.

The chess game has begun, and if she wants to be the chess player, she must move forward without distractions, so no matter who she uses, she must not be soft-hearted.

Seeing that the princess did not answer, but fell into deep thought, Ah Lu poked his head over and asked, "Princess...?" What are you thinking? ”

Xiao Yuehuai came back to her senses, quickly put away her thoughts, slowly glanced at Ah Lu, and said casually: "It's nothing... I named him Jiayi because I hope that he will be gentle and gentle, and his life will be smooth. The name Mu Yao endured all the hardships he suffered before he was seven years old, and let him grow up happily in Haoyue Palace in the future. ”

She naturally has her thoughts, in addition to wanting Mu Yao to get rid of the grief and pain of the past, but also to better hide his identity.

In his previous life, he almost caused a storm because of the Mu family, and he was almost discovered by Lu Pingsheng about his life experience. After careful consideration, Xiao Yuehuai made this decision. The Mu family is the surname of Lin Buyao's adoptive father, no matter how it is called this name, it is too risky, once it is caught by someone with a heart, it may be exposed.

Ah Lu was surprised, she didn't understand the reason, and she only felt strange when she listened to the princess's explanation.

She really couldn't figure out why the princess cared so much about an obscure little eunuch? Why did he suddenly meet with the criminal slaves of the Jing Court?

"The princess has always been kind-hearted, so very good." Ah Lu couldn't guess the princess's thoughts, so he could only respond to the peace.

Xiao Yuehuai lowered her head and fiddled with the tassel of the fan handle and asked, "Han Qi's account book... Did you send it as I commanded? ”

Alu: "I've sent it over." The princess is like a god, Liu Du got such a treasure, and sure enough, he secretly told Chonghua Palace, and in a few days, the government will have a decision, and Han Qi can't hide this time. ”

Xiao Yuehuai was silent.

Ah Lu said indignantly: "Han Qi is full of evil, I don't know how many lives are stained in his hands, and he is still swaggering and deceiving under the banner of Concubine Xiang in private, and has collected countless treasures, which has long been regarded as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, but he still doesn't know how to restrain himself..."

"I really deserve to end up like this! Thanks to the princess's clever plan, she borrowed Liu Du's hand to get rid of this scourge, otherwise I don't know how many people in this inner palace will die at his hands. ”

"But the princess helped Liu Du this time, aren't you afraid that he will tell Concubine Xiang about this?"

Xiao Yuehuai: "He hates Han Qi to the core, and he is worried about the favor of Chonghua Palace, he will definitely take this credit for himself, where will he expose me?" ”

Besides, people like Han Qi are vicious and ruthless, and they will never be willing to be used all the time, and when he tried to manipulate Lu Qiaoyu, he had already written the ending for himself with his own hands. Even without me, the people of Chonghua Palace would have dealt with him sooner or later. So even if they know what I've done, they only have to admit it, where will they dig into it? ”

Only then did Alu understand why the princess was so uneasy.

After a pause, Ah Lu said again: "That's right! Aunt Wen Rong just sent someone to ask, will the princess return to the palace on the sixth day of October? ”

"Originally, according to the practice of previous years, the annual Quqi banquet was held in Changqing Palace, but this time it was invited by Concubine Xiang to be organized, and the venue of the banquet was also moved to the palace of Changjing Mountain."

"The queen said that if you don't want to attend the banquet, she will find an excuse to fool you around, and it will save you a lot of embarrassment when you meet with the people of the Lu family."

Xiao Yuehuai shook the fan, put her left hand on her right arm and wrist, the thin onion and jade-like knuckles buckled into the flesh, and pinched out a piece of white, she half-squinted and sneered: "Xiang Guifei's banquet, why am I absent?" And after returning to my mother, I will leave one on the sixth day of October. ”

Her answer was unexpected, and Ah Lu's eyes widened in shock: "When did you change sex?" ”

"In the past, in order to avoid Lu Sanlang, you never participated in the banquet of Chonghua Palace. Now that he knows Concubine Xiang's character, why is he willing to go? ”

Xiao Yuehuai said calmly: "I have never been absent from the Qu Yu banquet held every year, and if I don't go this time, I will be blatantly making enemies of Concubine Xiang." Besides, now that I'm married, I'm hiding from the Lu family... It's not like words. Although she is sinister and cunning, I don't want to tear my face with her for the time being, so I naturally have to do some superficial work. ”

Ah Lu nodded thoughtfully: "The slave and maid know, so I will go back." ”

Xiao Yuehuai leaned against the window, staring at the busy palace people going back and forth under the corridor, her eyes getting darker and darker.

On the sixth day of October...

The Qu Yu Banquet is a traditional wine feast for the royal family and the powerful of the Great Zhou Dynasty to drink and intersect and conclude an alliance and contract, which was created when Taizu founded the country, and continues to this day with grand glory.

Every time in this period, regardless of the height of the gate lord clan, they can come to the banquet with the hibiscus jade cards sent by each family when Taizu first built the Great Zhou, and the dignitaries and eunuchs and famous princes gather together, which can be described as a gathering of heroes.

This day is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Xiao Yuehuai.

Even though Concubine Xiang was punished for her poor control of the palace people, she was still qualified to organize the Qu Yu banquet, and she was looking forward to passing this matter as in her previous life to bring the Lu family to a higher level.

Everything developed as Xiao Yuehuai remembered...

On the day of the Qu Yu banquet, she and Su Ying attended in full costume. When climbing the mountain, enjoy the autumn scenery along the road, the frost forest of Changjing Mountain is a wonder, the yellow fallen leaves all over the ground are not interesting, but because of the wild chrysanthemums that thrive under the big tree, there is more of a trace of style.

Before the feast began, many ladies and ladies in Jinling City gathered here to enjoy chrysanthemums and autumn, and chatted freely, and Xiao Yuehuai was no exception.

Because she was pregnant as a princess, as soon as she stepped into the frost forest with one foot, she was surrounded by men and women, each pulling and talking to her. Su Ying was dragged by the generals to the school to compete.

Xiao Yuehuai was stopped by the men and girls, and it was difficult to walk an inch in the frost forest, and she couldn't help but cover her faintly aching brain.

Just as he was thinking about how to escape, he heard a ridicule from under the ancient tree not far away: "My sister is so blessed, she is already married, and she can still make the gentlemen revolve around you." In this Jinling City... There's really no one like you. I wonder how your battle-ridden general would feel when he saw this? ”
