Chapter 22 Red Autumn
This Hanguang Pavilion is divided into three floors, the first floor is the main hall for ordinary banquets, and several guest rooms; the second floor is the regent's study and bedroom, where no outsiders are generally seen; the third floor is a hall for meeting distinguished guests, the most luxurious and splendid , The scenery is outstanding.

Zhao Shuang reckoned that since he was seeing Hongqiu, he should be on the first or third floor.

"Hongqiu... is on the second floor... in the study." Qiu Xin took the burden from Xiangxia's hand, glanced at the hall and said, "Your Highness, you can wait in the main hall on the first floor."

"Thank you." Although Zhao Shuang was a little surprised, he didn't say anything unnecessary, and led Xiangxia into the door.

As the sky was getting dark, Xiangxia got impatient waiting, and while beating her shoulders, she complained, "In the past, the prince never let the women from the back house enter Hanguang Pavilion, why did he let Hongqiu in today?"

"This Hanguang Pavilion is also the place of the palace. Naturally, the prince said that anyone can enter, and anyone can enter." Zhao Shuang held the tea and smelled the tea. "What's so strange?"

A few days ago, Xiangxia said that Miss Hongqiu was lonely and never took the initiative to find the prince, what is the reason today?
Just as she was wondering, she heard footsteps on the stairs, and then a woman in a black dress walked down the stairs slowly, and when she reached the entrance of the main hall on the first floor, she said a few words to Qiu Xin who was guarding the door words, and left.

Zhao Shuang watched the movement at the door from afar, and since the man didn't come in to salute her, she didn't take the initiative to say hello either.

I feel that this Hongqiu is a bit cold-tempered.

"His Royal Highness, the prince is in the main hall on the third floor, please come and have dinner together." Qiu Xin came in and bowed to Zhao Shuang, then led her upstairs.

Today, Yang Xuan was wearing a crimson embroidered auspicious round-neck uniform with a white jade hairpin in her hair. She was leaning casually on the soft couch in the middle of the hall and waiting for her. There was a table of delicious food on the low table in front of her.

Zhao Shuang couldn't hold back the fragrance.

"My lord." She bowed her knees and saluted, seeing the noble man nodding, she quickly sat down beside him, ready to start.

Today I drank tea all afternoon in Miaoyin Building, only had some snacks, my stomach was full of soup and water, and the hut was already empty after a few trips.

Chun Xin and Xia Xin served wine and vegetables at the side, Zhao Shuang ate with gusto, but thought Chun Xin was slow, so she just took a roasted duck leg and gnawed it on her own.

Yang Xuan only ate a few mouthfuls of rice and a mouthful of soup, then tilted her head to watch her eat, her long eyebrows gradually furrowed, "Princess, eat slowly, don't choke."

His red and gold brocade robe today is very festive, but for some reason, his whole body seems to be emitting black air.

Zhao Shuang thought it might have something to do with Hongqiu's visit just now.

"I saw Hongqiu downstairs just now." After eating the duck leg, she wiped her mouth, picked up the wine and swallowed the food in her mouth, "Is there something wrong with her?"

"Well, there is indeed something to do." Yang Xuan cast a sideways glance at her and said casually, "A few days ago, my king asked her to follow you quietly and protect you personally."

The wine glass in Zhao Shuang's hand tilted, and the wine spilled out instantly, "You have people following me?!"

Ruined!Who she met and what she did today, the regent must know!If you know it, don't say it, you are waiting for her to confess!

"This king was worried about your safety, and wanted to send you a female guard. It happened that a few days ago, I saw Hong Qiu with a maid picking lotus pods in the lake. Thinking that she was a secret guard, I asked her to protect you. "Yang Xuan saw wine dripping from the corner of her mouth, picked up a brocade handkerchief from the table, wiped the wine on her mouth and body, "Why are you nervous?"

what the hell?The lotus pods are still immature these days, what kind of lotus pods are picked in red autumn?
Zhao Shuang was concentrating for a moment. Either the regent was lying or Hong Qiu was deliberately looking for trouble.

"She... what did she say?" Zhao Shuang clenched her fists tightly, and a small flame flickered in her eyes.

"Are you thinking about how to get revenge?" Yang Xuan frowned, and tapped her forehead lightly, "Seeing that you have such a good appetite, you don't know what's wrong!"

"The concubine is just walking the dog on the street!" Zhao Shuang put down the bowl and chopsticks, and turned her head angrily.

"Would you meet Yongchang Hou when you go out for a walk with your dog? What happened to Bing Ji and that Yongchang Hou?" Yang Xuan had just heard the news and felt that there was a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and he was sulking for a long time.

"My lord, you are biased!" Zhao Shuang turned her back, put her hands in her sleeves, and said with aggrieved words, "You believe everything Hongqiu says, but you don't believe anything my concubine says!"

"...The king didn't say anything about you." Yang Xuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly hugged him and comforted him, "It's Chen Yang who is insidious and cunning, afraid that you will be taken advantage of by him."

"If you hadn't stopped me that day, General Linghu would have avenged me a long time ago, why bother? Hey..." The girl curled up into a ball, wiping her tears and snot on his brocade robe .

"Yes...it was this king who ruined your revenge plan, this king...was wrong." Yang Xuan held her small face in one hand, wiped her tears with the other hand, and comforted her, "Since this king I said that I will avenge you, you just need to feel at ease, why bother to provoke that Chen Yang by yourself?"

Seeing this scene, Chun Xin and Xia Xin were so shocked that their eyeballs almost fell out.How old is the princess?Acting like a baby is still so easy, there is no sense of disobedience.

The prince is even more...why did he admit his mistake to a woman so unprincipled?Even with the matter of Miss Hongqiu back then, the prince did not bow his head and say a word "wrong".

"You just can't bear to part with Bing Ji!" Zhao Shuang still turned his face away.

"When did I mention Bing Ji's name?" Yang Xuan cupped her face again, "You are overthinking."

"Then you can't ruin my big business anymore, Bing Ji... just lend me a few days," Zhao Shuang took his hand, tears were still on her long eyelashes, "I just asked her to drive a wedge between Chen Yang and Hong Hu, no What will really happen to her."

"You just have to be sensible." Yang Xuan rubbed her hair, put another piece of meat into her mouth, and finally coaxed her.

Zhao Shuang ate a few mouthfuls with his head down, then took another chopsticks dish and handed it to the regent's mouth.

"This..." Yang Xuan felt that this move was too ostentatious, so he waved to the two little maids behind him, and Chun Xin and Xia Xin hurriedly exited the hall with interest.

"The book says that reciprocity is good." Zhao Shuang's face was reddish, and she blinked her big eyes, "You give me a piece of meat, and I'll return you a bite of vegetables."

"Yeah." The man opened his mouth shyly to eat, the corners of his mouth twitched undetectably, and asked carefully after he finished eating the food in his mouth, "Do you mind Chen Yang and that Honghu so much? I heard that... ... Marquis Yongchang is preparing for the wedding."

"Of course I care." Zhao Shuang's face darkened upon hearing this, "They killed me, why can they still love each other so well?"

"You still have feelings for Chen Yang...?" Yang Xuan asked hesitantly.

"I've already said it, no." Zhao Shuang suddenly turned to stare at him, and said seriously, "You are not allowed to send anyone to follow me in the future."

"It's not stalking, it's protection." Yang Xuan picked up the wine cup on the table and took a sip, then patted the back of her head, "You act recklessly, I don't worry..."

 Ah, forty-eight thousand, take me to test the waters, sooner or later it will be a knife
