205, never break your word

Good guy, it's okay not to say it, but everyone found Huadian.

"Didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just chase Miss An here? How did he disappear since then? ”

For a while, everyone's eyes fell on An Qingge's body.

She pretended to be a little flustered and quickly waved her hand.

"No, His Highness arrived here, but then he said to wait for me in the pavilion, so he left alone."

After her words, the eldest princess nodded thoughtfully.

"Well, since the prince has not been seen for so long, it is not appropriate, the left and right palaces will take you to see the surprises in the depths of the garden, so let's go to find the prince first."

The eldest princess's proposal was naturally unopposed.

Especially those princes, they are all holding back a lively psychology in their hearts.

Besides, if the crown prince falls, then the possibility of them becoming the prince will be greatly increased, who will not be able to get along with the throne?

The eldest princess's gaze swept around, taking in everyone's reactions.

Very good, that's what she wants.

Since they had already made a decision, everyone naturally followed the eldest princess to find the crown prince, but before that, the eldest princess felt that it was still necessary for An Qingge to make some clarifications.

It is better to say that it is a clarification, but it is better to clear up the relationship.

"Qingge, since the prince is waiting for you, then you should walk with the palace, lest the prince blame you after not seeing you for a long time."

Look, the meaning of the eldest princess's words is so obvious.

made it clear that the prince deliberately wanted to pester An Qingge, and if An Qingge went late, he would be blamed by the prince.

In this way, the jealousy of other nobles towards An Qingge was reduced by more than half.

It is also very effective in maintaining An Qingge's reputation.

"Yes, Qingge thanks the eldest princess for her protection."

An Qingge bowed and cast a grateful look at the eldest princess.

How could she not know that the eldest princess was doing this for her own good.

In order to clear up the relationship with the crown prince, the eldest princess has already achieved this situation for herself, so she should cooperate with the eldest princess to continue to perform this play.

As for how to do it and how to act well, that is the most important thing next.

"Eldest princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have been waiting in the pavilion for a long time, we have to go and find him quickly, otherwise we will ......"

An Qingge didn't say the next words, but her pursed lips said it all.

Everyone recalled the prince's courtesy to An Qingge and An Qingge's lukewarmness and even dodging, and immediately had an answer in their hearts.

It seems that this is a story of the goddess unintentionally and the king of Xiang.

Then they are happy to see this situation.

For the princes present, if the power of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion behind An Qingge was taken over by the crown prince, it would pose a great threat to them.

And for these young ladies, An Qingge's family background is already above them, and she is liked by the prince, she is basically a sure princess.

Now that they can see such a scene, of course, they are extremely happy.

In an instant, everyone was ready to look for the prince with the mentality of watching a good show.

The pavilion was deep in the garden, but it wasn't too far away.

It didn't take long for the mighty group to see the prince and ...... sitting in the pavilion Another woman.

"Why is there another woman next to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Isn't he specifically waiting for Miss An? ”

There are always good people who pick things out first, and they ask questions at once.

This made everyone stunned for a moment, and then immediately rose up to watch the show.

The co-author of the prince was about An Qingge on the surface, but he secretly had a tryst with another woman behind his back.

However, everyone's thoughts did not last long before they were interrupted.

"That woman seems to be a goddess......

"What? Is it the goddess and the prince? ”

Someone stepped forward to take a look and gave a positive answer.

"That's right, the prince is in the same place as the goddess!"

Hearing everyone say this, the eldest princess and An Qingge glanced at each other tacitly, and neither spoke to each other.

But the people below began to talk.

"Isn't the crown prince always having little relationship with the goddess? Why are we still talking so happily today? ”

"I don't look like it, it's more like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is discussing something with the goddess?"

These words caused everyone to prick up their eyes and carefully look at the two people in the pavilion.

Not to mention, the prince is really discussing something with the goddess.

Looking at the prince for a while, he frowned, and then he was puzzled, but the goddess always looked flat, to the point that she was more like the one who gave advice to the prince.

"What can the prince and the goddess discuss?"

This is simply a question that everyone thinks.

Yes, one is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the future prince of the country, and the other is the goddess, and even the emperor must be respected.

These two are people who stand above power, and when they get together, what is there to talk about?

If it was ordinary small talk, it would have been, but not only had they found such a pavilion hidden in the depths of the garden, but they had also been able to talk to each other so that they had not found any of these people.

Everyone had a small calculation in their hearts, and they had some guesses and ideas.

The secret conversation between the goddess and the crown prince is definitely brewing some decisions related to the future.

The eldest princess looked at their expressions and knew that her goal had been achieved.

"Okay, you all shut up Hongu."

The eldest princess's majestic and sharp gaze was like an invisible sharp knife, slowly passing over everyone, making everyone's hearts tremble unconsciously.

"This palace warns you, there are some things to say, some things not to say, if you say the wrong thing, then you will fall to the ground, you can do it yourself."

Her words set off a lot of ripples in everyone's hearts.

"Yes."

Although everyone responded, the thoughts in their hearts seemed to take root and sprout, and they grew wildly.

At this time, Ah Cha glanced out lightly and took a sip of tea casually.

"Prince, there are a lot of people out there suddenly, you see, ......"

The prince subconsciously looked back at her words, and the whole person was startled.

"Outside...... When is it out there...... When there are so many people......? ”

Ah Cha shook his head slightly, "The deity doesn't know either. ”

"It's just the prince, don't forget the rules you promised the deity before."

Hearing her mention the rules, the prince was stunned again.

Yes, he also promised the goddess the rules to follow, and if he violated the rules, then he would be finished.

"But there are so many people out there, how can we explain it?"

How do you explain that?

Ah Cha raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes full of disdain and mockery.

The question of the prince is really ridiculous.

She is an upright goddess, and she has nothing to do with the prince, is she still afraid of being seen?

Besides, the prince's secret conversation with himself was seen by everyone, and then everyone had some guesses in their hearts, and then it reached the emperor's ears, which was the purpose and effect she wanted.

So after taking a deep look at the prince, Ah Cha moved his gaze into the distance.

"As long as the prince doesn't forget the rules of the deity, you can explain it however you want."

When the prince heard this, he almost cried on the spot.

He was originally asking the goddess what kind of explanation should he give now that they were talking in one place and everyone was watching.

But the goddess obviously didn't mean to answer him.

Although the prince is stupid, he can still distinguish some right from wrong.

For example, at this moment, he knew very clearly that if he didn't find a suitable explanation, then today's incident would be transmitted back to the palace, and the emperor would definitely not let him go.

"Goddess, I'm really out of ideas, please help ......"

It's a pity that Ah Cha interrupted him directly before he could finish speaking.

"Prince, they have approached, do you still want to stay in the pavilion?"

I have to say that this is simply a very dead question.

Everyone has already come, if the prince still insists on staying in the pavilion, coupled with the matter of his secret discussion with the goddess today, I am afraid that everyone will think that he has planned something.

But if the prince goes out, then he must give a suitable reason, a reason that everyone is convinced.

Otherwise, the purpose of his secret conversation with the goddess would be extremely impure.

But Ah Cha didn't bother to care about what the prince was thinking and how entangled he was now, she raised her feet and walked out of the pavilion directly, just right with the eldest princess and An Qingge who took a step forward.

The three of them exchanged glances quickly, each with tacit understanding.

"Goddess, why are you here?"

The eldest princess's question was extremely official, and there was a hint of questioning in it when she listened carefully.

However, Ah Cha instantly got her intention and immediately picked up the words.

"Eldest princess, the deity is resting here, and it just so happens that the prince is here, so he chatted a few words by the way."

Ah Cha's voice was not small, enough for everyone present to hear it clearly.

With her words, all the blame was put on the crown prince.

It was the prince who took the initiative to come to the goddess for a secret talk, doesn't this show that the prince is not ambitious?

After Ah Cha finished speaking, An Qingge also took the opportunity to ask the doubts in his heart.

"Goddess, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince clearly said that he was waiting for me here?"

"Then I don't know, you go and ask the prince."

Ah Cha's words fell, and the prince walked out of the pavilion.

Being stared at at at the same time by so many eyes, the prince will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable.

He was about to say something when he heard An Qingge ask with teary eyes.

"Your Highness, didn't you say that you were waiting for your courtiers here? Then why are you talking to the goddess here? ”

The prince didn't expect her to be here, and he didn't expect her to question himself like this, he was speechless for a while, and he couldn't find a suitable explanation.

"I ...... The main hall is nothing but ......"

Seeing that the prince was spitting for a long time, An Qingge deliberately bit his lip indignantly, and every word seemed to be accusing the prince of his crimes.

"Prince, the courtiers didn't expect you to be such a treacherous person, and you didn't even count what you said yourself!"

After saying that, she covered her lips and ran away.

The crowd was a little overwhelmed by the sudden situation.

But Ah Cha held back a smile and said it seriously.

"Qingge is probably sad, the deity is going to see her."

said so, but in fact, she could see that An Qingge's hidden lips were trying to hide her smile.

But don't really say it, she also wants to laugh when she sees the prince's appearance.

The current prince is like the kind of fool who has nothing on the surface, but doesn't know anything inside.

Seeing them leave, the eldest princess didn't say anything, just looked the prince up and down a few times.

"Prince, this palace specially brought everyone to look for you to see the surprise prepared by this palace, but I didn't expect you to talk to the goddess here, but this palace took the liberty to disturb it."

The prince is really speechless.

He really wanted to tell everyone the content of his conversation with the goddess, but he didn't dare.

It's just that the goddess is still far away now, and he can't explain it even if he has ten mouths.

Just looking at everyone's expressions on him, he could guess with his toes that he must have been misunderstood and talked about something unspeakable with the goddess.

But after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't even hold back a suitable statement.

The worst thing is that Zhang Ming, the only staff member he brought, was still left in place by him, and now he really has no one around him who can come up with ideas.

He really had no choice but to look at the eldest princess as if asking for help.

"Aunt Huang, the main hall is ......"

"Okay, the crown prince doesn't need to explain anything to this palace."

The eldest princess raised her hand and motioned for him to shut up, and continued.

"The surprise that this palace has prepared for you has been waiting for a long time, and it has been delayed for some time to find you, so let's go quickly."

What a joke, she's not a fool.

Of course, it is clear that if the prince is not allowed to explain now, let the prince show all his panic and helplessness in front of everyone, the more beneficial it will be to them.

Anyway, what happened to the crown prince today will reach the emperor's ears, and he can shirk his responsibility by the way.

Besides, the prince deliberately embarrassed himself as if he was so embarrassed yesterday, and he was unwilling to accept the invitation.

If she lifts the siege for the prince again today, she will really be full and supportive, and she will rush to paste the prince's cold face.

But speaking of which, the prince is also the same as his dog father, he is a thick-skinned person to a certain level.

When you don't use yourself, you really don't want to have even the least title and respect, and when you need yourself, you call an imperial aunt affectionately.

If she can be convinced like this, then there is really a problem with her brain.

Thinking of this, the eldest princess gave the prince another roll of her eyes and put disgust on her face.

"Everyone, let's go with the main palace, the surprise prepared by the main palace is already in place."

The eldest princess said so, so naturally everyone didn't want to say anything more.

It's just that the eyes that look at the prince can't be said to be very good.

It is not an exaggeration to say that there is even disgust in the scrutiny.

The prince couldn't help it, he opened his mouth to explain, but he couldn't make a sound, so he could only fall at the end of the line.

The eldest princess led them all the way to the other side of the garden.

"This is the surprise that the palace has in store for you."

Here?

As far as everyone could see, there were only some flowers and trees and some melons and fruits to eat, and there were no surprises at all.

There was no way, they didn't dare to ask the eldest princess directly, so they could only cast a puzzled look.

The eldest princess naturally saw everyone's thoughts, but she didn't say anything, just clapped her hands.

"Smack! Smackβ€”"

After two palms, a woman with a musical instrument in her hand and dancing while playing music came out of the flowers and plants.

Not only are they beautiful and charming, but they also play their instruments very well.

Let's just say that it's like listening to Xianle's ears, and that's just the case.

"This is the surprise that this palace has prepared for you, and please enjoy it."

These cabaret performances were not surprising to those who were accustomed to all kinds of banquets, but what the eldest princess said did not make them object.

Especially those princes, one by one, they looked straight, and their eyes fell on those singers, and some desires were born in their hearts.

However, there is one exception, and that is the crown prince.

He didn't have time to enjoy these inspirational performances right now, and his mind was full of thoughts about how to solve the problem at hand.

"Dingβ€”"

As the last note fell, the singers gathered together, leaving Qiuxue to stand in front of everyone, drawing a complete arc for the music with her figure.

The prince suddenly raised his head, and just met Qiu Xue's moving eyes.

His heart moved, but then he smiled self-deprecatingly, picked up the wine glass beside him, and sat down to drink the sullen wine.

None of his actions escaped the eldest princess's sight, and they were all under her control.

"These singers are carefully selected by the palace, and they will be here to enjoy themselves later, and if you want to see them perform a song, you can summon them at will."

"I'll go to see Qingge's situation first, and I won't stay here for a long time."

The eldest princess had already made her words very clear, so she almost told these princes directly that the singers here could be taken away at will.

But having said that, after she left, the princes were still very reserved and did not approach these singers.

Not for anything else, but they also want to leave a reputation for self-cleanliness.

But this was part of their plan, and the singers were well aware of the tasks they shouldered, so they did not hesitate to get to these princes separately.

What they have to do is to win the favor of these princes in the time period given by the eldest princess, and then successfully enter the princes' mansions.

And Qiuxue's target is the crown prince.

She took a clear look at the prince, who was drinking alcohol, hugged her lute, and walked towards the prince's side.

It's just that this one walks with a little bit of her personal characteristics.

Because her hand was gently plucking the strings, her eyes kept looking at the prince warmly.

The sound of the piano came from far to near, which made the prince attracted at once, and it was rare to raise his head, and without accident, he broke into Qiu Xue's eyes.

She stood still a few steps away from the prince and bent down to bow.

"Your Highness, the little lady sees that you seem to have something on her mind, so she will play a song for you, hoping to share your worries."

A sentence was said by her tactfully, like a spring in March, and the breeze in April instantly soothed the prince's irritability.

At the first glance of her, the prince was moved by her.

"What's your name?"

"The little girl's name is Qiu Xue."

Although Qiu Xue was replying, she didn't take another half step forward, keeping the distance between herself and the prince just right.

This made the prince interested.

In the past, when those singers saw him, they couldn't wait to rush directly at him, it is rare to have a wonderful person like Qiu Xue who still has such a personality.

"Come to the main hall and pour a bar for the main hall."

Listening to his words, Qiu Xue did approach, but snatched his wine glass and fell straight to the ground.

"Smack-"

The glass shattered the moment it touched the ground.

Qiu Xue's words of complaint also followed.

"How can Your Highness not cherish your body like this, drinking and hurting your body, even if Your Highness has something to do, you can't practice your body."

As she spoke, her tears rolled down in large pieces, looking pitiful and pitiful.

These words made the prince's heart warm when he heard it.

It had been a long time since he had heard anyone care so genuinely about him.

The beauty cried, still crying because she was worried about her body, which made his heart throb and he couldn't help it no matter what.

He took Qiuxue into his arms with one hand.

"Qiu Xue, it's not good for the main hall, because of the irritability in my heart, I drank a few more cups, you don't have to worry about the main hall."

"It's the little girl who is so worried, and please don't blame Your Highness." Qiu Xue said this, but turned her body around, completely facing away from the prince, showing that she was still angry.

It was a wonderful feeling for the prince to be cared for like this, especially after seeing Qiu Xue tearful for himself, he wanted to hug Qiu Xue tightly.

He thought so, and did the same.

After he deliberately tightened his embrace, he leaned into Qiu Xue's ear and said ambiguously and kindly.

"Qiuxue, how can the main hall blame you, but the main hall sees that you play the pipa very well, I don't know if you can play another song for the main hall."

Qiu Xue was a little uncomfortable, but when she thought of her task, she still held back the nausea in her heart and maintained that slightly angry appearance.

"Doesn't Your Highness like to drink to relieve boredom, so why listen to the little girl's pipa again."

"His Royal Highness doesn't want his own body anymore, and the little woman accompanies His Highness."

With that, she struggled to pick up the other glass in front of her, poured a full glass of wine, and drank it all.

Her set of actions went smoothly, and the prince was stunned.

"Autumn Snow, You ......"

In response to him, Qiu Xue wiped the wine from the corner of his lips.

"The little woman is drinking with His Highness, and after His Highness has a drink, the little woman will have a drink."

Qiuxue's face is delicate and bright, and her every move is full of style, but her movements at the moment are heroic and free, and this contrast fascinates the prince.

"Then it's better to play a game with Qiuxue with the main hall."

"Your Highness, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"If you dance a dance or play a song, then the main hall will drink one less glass of wine, and we will count from ten glasses, but only in the time of this incense."

This is the prince testing Qiu Xue, and it is the foundation he specially laid before their relationship goes further.

Who knew that the autumn snow would fall immediately.

"Well, the little woman has a request."

"As long as the little woman does it, then Your Highness will never break her word."
