Marry a traitor

Chapter 38 Entering the Palace for a Banquet
  "Don't be arrogant and get dressed. I have something to tell you."

Then Shen Yu told Huang Yingying that she was going to perform in the palace. After saying that, Shen Yu didn't stop for a moment, dragging his torn clothes and went to deal with his own affairs.

Huang Yingying has been restless since yesterday. Although Shen Xiang was indeed kind to her and chose to forgive her even if she made a mistake, this time she went off the rails and was afraid of being driven away by Shen Yu.

I wonder if she will be kicked out of the palace after performing in the palace this time.

The three people in the carriage were in different moods. Wang Wan was sitting in the carriage, just hoping that he could enter the palace quickly. Maybe he would be in a better mood after seeing his sister and father.

The palace gate soon arrived. Shen Yu's carriage was very visible from a distance. The guard guarding the palace gate opened the door and let him in.

As soon as Huang Yingying entered the palace, Shen Yu arranged for her to go to the Bell and Drum Department to prepare the music for the dinner.

The Empress plans to hold it in one day, from morning to evening. The evening is also the highlight, with dance performances all in the evening.

Wang Wan had already felt bored in the palace all day. After she and Shen Yu arrived, Shen Yu went to accompany the emperor. She greeted the queen and searched for her sister in the yard.

The last time she entered the palace, she stung someone with a bee in order to prevent her sister from seeing the fifth prince. This time, before she could figure out how to avoid these two people, she saw that her sister was already standing with the fifth prince, not far away. There is also Li Jiahui with a sweet smile on her face.

Wang Wan knew at a glance that it was Li Jiahui who was deliberately bringing her sister and the fifth prince together again.

Just as she was about to step forward, Li Jiahui, with quick eyes and quick hands, jumped out of nowhere, took Wang Wan's hand and walked aside.

"When did sister Wan'er come? You are the brightest star today. All of this was carefully prepared by E Niang for you. You are satisfied with it."

Wang Wan naturally saw the queen's intentions, but Li Jiahui also had ulterior motives. She was afraid that she would disturb the relationship between her sister and the fifth prince.

"Your Highness, Wan'er has something to do with my sister. Let me go. I'm going to find my sister."

Li Jiahui held Wang Wan's hand tighter and tighter, ignoring what Wang Wan said and minding her own business.

"You came here with Shen Yu? I heard that an actor also came with you? Is this true?"

Wang Wan nodded: "It's true. Princess, if you are curious, you can go see it in person. Please let me go."

Li Jiahui said with a smile on her face: "Sister Wan'er, Sister Susu and Fifth Brother are talking about something, so it's not convenient to interrupt. If you have anything, you have to talk on a first-come, first-served basis."

She knew that Wang Wan did it on purpose, so she deliberately reminded her not to ruin her good deeds.

Wang Wan is not an ordinary person, no one has been able to trap her.

"Sister."

Wang Wan yelled, and sure enough, Wang Susu looked over. Every time Wang Wan called her loudly, no matter what he did, as long as she heard it, she would run to Wang Wan and ask what was wrong.

This time was no exception. Wang Susu quickly abandoned the fifth prince and ran to Wang Wan's side, eagerly asking what was wrong. An angry Li Jiahui blew his beard and stared at him.

"What's wrong?" Wang Susu asked.

Wang Wan smiled and shook his head: "I'm afraid that bees will sting me again, sister, so I brought you an anthelmintic medicine specially. If you wear this by your side, nothing will happen to you."

Li Jiahui looked at Wang Wan with disdain, thinking that she was just talking and deliberately disturbing Lao Wu and Su Su. Unexpectedly, as she was talking, she actually took a sachet from her pocket and handed it to Wang Susu.

"Sister, put it away."

Wang Susu took the sachet and hung it on her waist. The fifth prince on the side walked over with a smile.

The look in his eyes made Wang Wan feel uncomfortable all over, as if in the eyes of such a man, he was just a toy stripped naked for others to appreciate. "Lao Wu? Jiahui? Are you there too?"

The second prince suddenly appeared from behind the fifth prince. There were many rockeries here, and someone suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Wang Wan had just disgusted the fifth prince, and another second prince showed up. Wang Wan didn't want to stay for a moment longer.

"I've met the two princes."

No need for gifts, the second prince was having nothing to do. When he walked to the rockery, he suddenly saw Wang Wan's figure and ran over immediately without thinking.

At this time, he wanted to reach out and help Wang Wan stand up personally, but he just moved his body and Wang Wan stood up straight, twice as fast as his sister beside him.

The second prince Li Yiping was particularly happy to see Wang Wan again.

"Wan'er was injured. Is the injury healed?"

The look of concern on his face didn't look fake at all, but it made Li Jiahui next to him puzzled.

When did the second brother care about Wang Wan so much? If she remembered correctly, they should not be familiar with each other.

But Li Yiping's eyes didn't lie, and his eyes were full of admiration for Wang Wan.

A trace of suspicion flashed in Li Jiahui's eyes, and soon disappeared.

The second brother may just appreciate it. Wang Wan really stole the show this time and single-handedly saved the entire aristocratic female family. Her self-sacrifice spirit is indeed worthy of the Queen Mother's special banquet for her.

"At noon, the Queen Mother arranged for everyone to have a meal together in the garden. In the evening, there will be singing and dancing. I heard that a servant from the Prime Minister's Mansion who is a skilled dancer is also here?"

The second prince asked Wang Wan, and saw the woman opposite nodding and smiling: "There are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Prime Minister Shen's mansion, everyone is so amazing."

Others didn't dare to refute what he said. The small Prime Minister's Mansion was no match for the Imperial Palace, but Shen Yu was not someone who brought everything into the Mansion.

No matter what the second prince said, Wang Wan would always smile and nod or shake his head, trying not to say too many words.

After the prince had finished asking questions, she found a reason to take her sister to the side to chat, so as not to be upset when she saw these people.

Not long after, the second prince noticed something was wrong. No one spoke much, but he was the only one who kept talking endlessly. He instantly lost the desire to talk.

"Second brother, it seems that my father wants to practice calligraphy with you. Go and ask your father."

Li Jiahui finally couldn't bear it anymore and wanted Li Yiping to leave here.

"Father is practicing calligraphy again? Do you want to show your skills in front of everyone today?"

Li Yiping knew that his father's favorite thing to do was to practice calligraphy. Every time he finished practicing, he would find someone to ask how he was doing. Everyone would not dare to say anything bad and would praise him with all his strength.

The more he praised the emperor, the more he liked to write, and the more he wrote, the happier he became. Over time, he became a calligrapher in disguise.

The second prince had been very attentive in front of the emperor recently. In order to leave a good impression on his father, he chose to go to the emperor.

Wang Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief after watching the people leave.

"The fifth prince and the princess, I want to go to the garden with my sister and visit the garden decorated by the queen. Do you want to go together?
