After breaking off the engagement, the daughter-in-law of the Hou family drove the boss in the capit

In Qingyang City, everything is flourishing.

Secretly, things were raging.

In the East Palace, which was heavily guarded, Yang Shian held a banquet, but there was only one guest, Duan Xu, the eighth prince of Western Shu.

Duan Xu was sitting in the guest seat, with his clothes slightly open, revealing his strong chest. Beside Duan Xu, two pretty and enchanting dancers were kneeling to serve him.

"If I can succeed this time, I will definitely be very grateful to the Eighth Prince! Come, I will respect the Eighth Prince!" Yang Shi'an picked up the wine cup.

In these days, Yang Shi'an saw more and more clearly his father's neglect of him, especially the fact that some of the courtiers close to him were suppressed by his father, which made Yang Shi'an more and more uneasy.

Yang Shi'an was afraid that one day he would be abandoned by his father. Since his father was unkind, don't blame him for being unjust.

Duan Xu held the wine cup with one hand and drank it all in one gulp. "As a prince, you should ascend to the throne as soon as possible! However, the prince must not forget the agreement between you and me!"

With a wild smile on his face, Duan Xu casually picked up a dancer next to him and started playing with her without any hesitation.

Yang Shi'an smiled along with him and nodded, "Of course this Gu understands, but Gu doesn't understand. Although Princess Jian Yue was born into a beautiful country, she is only a woman after all. Why does the Eighth Prince have to be her?"

Yang Shi'an felt a little uncomfortable. He originally thought that when he got to that position, he would trap Lin Jianyue next to him and humiliate him severely.

Unexpectedly, Duan Xu also wanted Lin Jianyue by name. Although he was a little reluctant to give up, compared to his own throne, which was just a woman, Yang Shian was naturally willing to give up.

"This prince likes such a cold beauty!" Duan Xu laughed, seeming to be very pleased with Lin Jianyue's beauty.

But in fact, Duan Xu was interested in Lin Jianyue's wealth after his death, and he naturally wanted to get it back after these embarrassing appearances.

Yang Shi'an may not be unaware of Duan Xu's plan, and he also understands what a loss it will be to Dongshan Kingdom if Duan Xu takes Lin Jianyue back to Xishu. But even if Yang Shi'an understood the seriousness of the matter, he would not hesitate to fight for the throne.

"Then I wish the Eighth Prince will get his wish!" Yang Shi'an laughed.

Duan Xu also laughed, and both of them were Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts.

Duan Xu, in particular, didn't show it on his face, but in his heart he despised Yang Shi'an. In Duan Xu's view, if a pig-brained person like Yang Shi'an ascends to the throne, then sooner or later, the Dongshan Kingdom will be in the possession of the Western Shu Kingdom.

What the two of them didn't know at this time was that the dancer waiting on the side looked gentle, delicate, and pitiful, but she heard the words of the two people clearly and remembered them clearly.

In order to welcome the envoys from Western Shu, Emperor Dongshan specially prepared a bonfire dinner the day after tomorrow to entertain the envoys from Western Shu.

The closer the dinner date was, the busier Shen Weixun became. Lin Jianyue had not seen Shen Weixun for several days, and even the secret guards such as Ting Zhou were nowhere to be seen.

But every day, secret guards returned to explain all the arrangements, which made Lin Jianyue not anxious. Instead, because the bonfire dinner was approaching, her heart became more and more calm.

Lin Jianyue is now fine. She and a group of courtiers entertained the envoys from Xishu as usual, while she entertained Princess Taihe alone.

Today, Lin Jianyue took Princess Taihe on a lake trip. The two of them sat on the boat, with cakes placed on the table, and looked at the sparkling waves on the lake comfortably.

Compared with the chattering Taihe in the past, Taihe today is very quiet, and he is not even interested in the pastries on the food table. "Where has Prince Shen been these past few days? Why haven't you seen anyone?" Taihe asked.

Lin Jianyue explained, "The prince is busy with official duties, so it is common for him to disappear!"

Taihe didn't doubt it, but suddenly took Lin Jianyue's arm and said with a smile, "Don't you Dongshan Emperor be holding some bonfire dinner soon? I think it's quite boring, why don't we just stop going that day?" Can you take me somewhere else to play, okay?"

If it were for other things, Lin Jianyue might have agreed, but at this time Lin Jianyue couldn't. After all, a lot of things would happen that night, and she had to go.

"Your Majesty is kind enough to let me enter the palace. How can I not go to the banquet? But if you don't want to go, you can tell the palace people or complain about illness and you can refuse!" Lin Jianyue looked at Taihe beside her.

When Taihe heard this, there was a bit of disappointment on his face.

"Then I'd better go. It's quite boring to be alone in the palace, but I don't know anyone at the dinner. Can you sit next to me? Don't worry, I will tell the palace people about this!" Taihe prayed. , a pair of eyes looked at Lin Jianyue aggrievedly.

Lin Jianyue knew that there might be many dangers in the palace banquet. Taihe, a girl's family, was a little worried even if she was protected by guards. If she were with Taihe, it would be easier to take care of her.

"Okay, let's just sit together!" Lin Jianyue agreed.

When Taihe heard this, he smiled and started chatting side by side with Lin Jianyue. Although they were all talking about his daughter's family, it was not boring.

While chatting, Taihe suddenly sighed, which made Lin Jianyue a little confused.

"What's going on? You suddenly start sighing?" Lin Jianyue asked.

"Unknowingly, I have been staying in Dongshan for half a month. My father wrote a letter saying that we will go back in a few days. As you know, I came here for the purpose of marriage, but the prince was nowhere to be seen the whole day. , Who should I marry?" Taihe couldn't help complaining.

She also wanted to go to the eldest princess's mansion to find Shen Weixun, but she felt a little scared whenever she thought of the eldest princess and Shen Qingmiao's perfunctory methods.

"It turns out that time flies so fast!" Lin Jianyue sighed with emotion. She looked at the carefree Taihe and said earnestly, "What's the good of marriage? A woman leaves her parents and family and comes to a completely unfamiliar place. If this It’s okay if a man treats you well. If he treats you badly, you won’t even have a way out! The princess has a distinguished status and is loved by her family, so there is no need to marry far away!”

Taihe listened in confusion, feeling that Lin Jianyue's words seemed to make some sense.

"Are you persuading me like this because you don't want me to compete with you for Shen Shizi?" Taihe asked.

"Do you think I still need to fight with you?" Lin Jianyue couldn't help but click Taihe's cheek.

"That's right, Shen Shizi's heart is all about you, and you don't need to fight for it!" Taihe lay on the dining table and said feebly, and then looked at Lin Jianyue, "Hey, why don't I marry you? Now! This way I can be with the prince and get married at the same time!"

After Lin Jianyue heard this, she smiled from ear to ear, feeling that it was too gentle and too childish.

"Look at you, what are you talking nonsense about? You and I are both women, how can we get married!" Lin Jianyue glared at Taihe, turned his eyes and continued to enjoy the scenery.

But she had never seen Taihe look at her with such care and concern.
