Chapter 80 Habayashi Qi's Conspiracy
Therefore, the emperor decided to combine this year's Qujiang Banquet with the Confucian Mansion Banquet.

Congratulations to the new Patriarch of the Confucian Mansion, and congratulations to the son who won the first place on the list.

The emperor ordered Lin Youyi to perform a dance at the palace banquet. During this half month, she needs to enter the palace to choreograph the dance with the musician and dancer.

Lin Youyi accepted the oracle anxiously.

The eunuch who delivered the order was busy congratulating the old lady.

You know, the Qujiang Banquet and the Confucian Mansion Banquet are the most powerful banquets among the ancient palace banquets.All the banquet guests must be hand-picked by the emperor one by one.

The emperor respected literati, and valued the lineage of the Confucian family even more. There has never been a precedent for the emperor to appoint noble ladies to perform dances at such a grand banquet.

"This servant congratulates you, Mrs. Xian! There is a daughter in the Hou's mansion, who is favored by the emperor. It is such an important palace banquet, and I am honored to perform dances. It is truly an honor!"

"Grandpa Cheng said auspicious words! It's just that my daughter is still young, so I'm afraid she can't afford such a big imperial mission. If my daughter makes a mistake during a palace banquet, I'm afraid..."

"How could it be, old madam, you are worrying too much! The fourth young lady in the house was strongly recommended by Concubine Xiao. Concubine Xiao's dance skills are superb, and she can be recommended by the concubine. Thinking about it, the fourth young lady must have something special."

The old lady hesitated in her heart, and inadvertently glanced at Lin Youyi.

Lin Youyi naturally knew the old lady's doubts, so she hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down.

"The granddaughter is not talented, and she is praised by the emperor. She dare not betray the grace of the emperor. She will do her best. Although she dare not say that she will win the glory of the sun and the moon, she will never bring shame to the Hou family. Please be at ease, old lady."

After all, she is not her own granddaughter, and the old lady still has a lot of worries about Lin Youyi.

However, the imperial edict had been issued, and the old lady knew that there was nothing to change, so she could only nod her head in agreement.

"Then it would be great, Miss Lao Fourth will clean up as soon as possible, and return to the palace with the servant."

"Yes, please wait a moment, father-in-law."

When Lin Youyi turned around and stepped back, she saw Xiao Qinyao and Xiao Muxue's eyes almost glaring blood!
After returning to the yard, Xing'er happily started to tidy up for Lin Youyi, but Lin Youyi looked anxious, and quickly stepped forward to hold her.

"Xing'er, I'll pack the things myself, you go out the back door now and go find Prince Rui! Tell him..."

Lin Youyi leaned close to Xing'er, and then whispered a few words in her ear.

Xing'er looked at Lin Youyi with a puzzled face, and was in a daze, not knowing what to do.

Lin Youyi couldn't wait to urge Xing'er, "What are you doing standing there? Hurry up! If you don't go, it will be too late!"

"Oh, okay, servant girl, let's go now!"

Lin Youyi simply tidied up with a lot of preoccupations, then said goodbye to Mother Lin and the old lady, and returned to the palace with the inner eunuch.

Mother Lin was worried about Lin Youyi, so she held her and refused to let go.

"Mother, don't worry, my daughter will take good care of herself. It's only half a month. Time flies."

"My dear, why didn't my mother know that you could dance? Last time, my mother only thought that you were just lucky and narrowly escaped. But this time, the emperor appointed you..."

"Mother, my daughter still has a lot of abilities that you don't know about! Don't worry, my daughter doesn't want to be famous, but there will be no accidents that will hurt my mother."

"Mother is not afraid of being troubled by you, mother is worried about you! People in the palace are not easy to get along with, you are a little girl, you don't know the world, even if you offend others, you don't even know!"

The more Mother Lin talked, the more frightened she became, her eyes turned red.

Lin's mother's phrase "not familiar with world affairs" made Lin Youyi chuckle.

She might have used this word in her previous life.

However, in this life, she has been reborn from the moment she opened her eyes, and has nothing to do with that word anymore.

"Mother, it's getting late, my daughter is about to enter the palace, you just wait for her good news."

When she stepped into the side door of the palace, Lin Youyi was still worried in her heart, wondering if that girl Xing'er would have time to relay her words to Mu Zheng.

"The servant has met Prince Rui, and the prince is blessed and safe."

Lin Youyi kept her head down, and cautiously followed behind the messenger.

Lin Youyi suddenly raised her head when she heard the inner eunuch's voice asking for peace.

"My lord, why are you here?"

As soon as this remark came out, Lin Youyi sensed something was wrong, and hurriedly lowered her head angrily.

The inner eunuch at the side also noticed something strange, but he was very clever, so he hurriedly pretended that he didn't hear anything, and took a few steps aside.

Mu Zheng stepped forward with a cold face, "Little girl, what is your expression?"

In fact, Mu Zheng also just learned that Lin Youyi was ordered to rehearse in the palace.

Therefore, before he had time to think about it, he waited on the only way to enter the palace, just to take a look at the little girl Lin Youyi.

Unexpectedly, when Lin Youyi saw him, her eyes looked like she had seen a ghost, which immediately made Mu Zheng's heart full of anger.

"My lord, hurry up to Suidong Lane in Beicheng to rescue a woman in her sixties and a child of four or five years old! Hurry up, or it will be too late!"

"Okay, I'm going now!"

Mu Zheng didn't even ask any more questions, he just answered straight away, and immediately after that, he got ready to leave.

Seeing this, Lin Youyi couldn't help being startled, and immediately, in desperation, she stretched out her hand to grab Mu Zheng.

"What else?"

"You...be careful yourself!"

Mu Zheng didn't speak, just nodded lightly, and then quickly disappeared at the end of the long corridor.

Lin Youyi didn't know if it was still too late for Mu Zheng to rush over.

However, even if there is only a one in ten thousand possibility, she still has to try her best.

The pair of grandparents and grandchildren that Lin Youyi asked Mu Zheng to rescue were the mother and youngest son of General Lei.

In the previous life, before the imperial examinations were released, in the generation of Wengcheng, who was eight hundred miles away from the capital of the gods, bandits made trouble and caused disasters.

The emperor wanted to send troops to suppress the bandits, and the two most competitive people were General Lei and Xiao Yu'an.

This time the banditry is a minor matter, in fact, the victorious person is very likely to take over the "Habayashi Rider".

The so-called "Habayashi riding" is taken from the meaning of "serving the wings of the country, like the prosperity of the forest".

In addition, the emperor also selected a group of children of fallen soldiers in the army, who were brought up by Habayashi Qi, and formed a team of "Habayashi Orphans", named "Qimen Qi".

This is an army that is ready to be dispatched by the emperor at any time. Its significance and strength are self-evident!

Xiao Yu'an didn't want the duck to fly away, so he planned a robbery and murder, targeting General Lei's mother and young son.

It was today in the previous life that Xiao Yu'an "coincidentally" passed by and "ran into" this robbery.
