Chapter 45 The Palace Banquet ([-])

Although Hua Yihan was standing below, she listened to the movements in the pavilion with pointed ears.

She has amazing hearing, and it is not difficult at all to hear clearly what is going on in the pavilion.

Although the good thing about getting along with the beautiful woman was interrupted, Bai Chengxun still expressed enough enthusiasm for Zhan Tianxing.

Although Zhan Tianxing is not used to greeting people, it doesn't mean he doesn't know how to greet people. He actually knows what to say in those scenes, but he doesn't want to say it on weekdays.

Hua Yihan listened outside for a while, but felt bored, so she was not interested in listening any more, but her mind was thinking about Hua Jinxiu's collision with the emperor just now.

Ordinarily, this is not the first time Hua Jinxiu has entered the palace. As a woman who wants to become a queen, she is very attentive to understand everything about the palace. How could she offend the emperor?

If it wasn't for herself, then there was only one possibility, she was framed.

Tonight's palace banquet, her eldest sister is a big show, and you can tell from Concubine Jing's words like that. Even the concubines in the harem are jealous of her, let alone the other female relatives in the hall, especially those who are suitable. At the age of marriage, ladies who want to take advantage of the palace banquet to find a good husband, but Hua Jinxiu steals the limelight, can you not be jealous?
A jealous woman is always scary, she can do anything, just like her in the previous life, Hua Jinxiu in the previous life.

I don't know how the emperor punished her?

Thinking about it, Hua Yihan sighed in her heart. In the last palace banquet, Hua Jinxiu was also in the limelight, but there was no incident of offending the emperor later...

It turns out that many things are different in this life and the last one.

When she was thinking wildly, she suddenly heard the voice of Zhan Tianxing getting up to say goodbye from the pavilion, and soon, Zhan Tianxing and Zhan Tianzhu came out.

Bai Chengxun didn't come out, but sat in the pavilion all the time, showing no intention of leaving.

Hua Yihan is actually very curious about the Fourth Prince.

This prince is the crown prince's biggest rival, and his mother is the imperial concubine who is most loved by the emperor in the palace. Although her status is only a little bit lower than that of the queen, because of being favored, she lives longer in the harem than the queen, the main palace. be bright.

And the fourth prince is safe in doing things, has both civil and military skills, and can speak well, which is also very pleasing to the emperor.

The queen has been forbearance and humility all these years, not daring to make a single mistake, for fear of being captured and threatening her son's crown prince.

The prince is the son of the eldest son. When he was three years old, he made a good statement, passed it on as a good story, and was established as the prince.

However, as he got older, his original intelligence gradually became mediocre, but no matter how mediocre he was, he was still a prince, and the emperor would not abolish him if he didn't make any serious mistakes.

Coupled with the prominent status of the queen's natal family, the prince is surrounded by a group of wise and wise men, and his performance is remarkable. In addition, his appearance is gentle and pure, and his gentle appearance is very deceptive.

However, facing the threat of the fourth prince, the prince became more and more nervous, and tried every means to consolidate his position.

In the previous life, the reason why the prince was able to rise to the throne was due to the help of her, Lu Cheng, and a group of people under him.

And in this life, without her, would he still be able to climb to the supreme position?

Thinking of this, Hua Yihan couldn't help but look up at the hazy figure in the pavilion.

"Is it cold?" After leaving the pavilion for a while, Zhan Tianxing turned around and asked Hua Yihan, who looked like a maid behind him.

"It's not cold." Hua Yihan said with a smile, turning her head to look at Zhan Tianzhu, "Second Miss and His Highness the Fourth Prince seem very familiar?"

"When I was in Northern Xinjiang, I worked with the fourth prince for a while." Zhan Tianzhu said with a smile.

Hua Yihan thought for a while, and then remembered that the year before last, the fourth prince, as an imperial envoy, patrolled the border and checked the situation of the border defense.

It seems that adultery developed at that time.

By the time they returned to Hongying Hall, the news that Hua Jinxiu had collided with the emperor had already spread.

Hua Chengxiu had a worried look on his face, but he still sat calmly. He is the prince and the prince's tutor, so to speak, he belongs to the prince's school.

Although his daughter had offended the emperor, she was not severely punished, which meant that the matter should not be serious. As long as the emperor's anger dissipated, and then begged for mercy, there should be no serious problems.

Hua Yihan followed Zhan Tianzhu, and returned to the appearance of a maid again.

However, soon, she discovered that her grandfather Lu Guogong gave her a wink.

That was her and grandpa's secret, a secret that only the two of them knew.

After telling Zhan Tianxing and Zhan Tianzhu, she quietly left Hongying Hall.

After going out, the little eunuch who had been waiting there for a long time came up suddenly, bowed to Hua Yihan, then without saying anything, led Hua Yihan to the back of the Hongying Hall, and then walked into a small room .

After waiting for a while, she heard a knock on the door with a familiar rhythm.

Opening the door happily, looking at Duke Lu standing outside, Hua Yihan rushed over without thinking.

Lu Guogong hugged her with a smile, entered the house and closed the door.

"Grandpa!" Hua Yihan rubbed affectionately in Lu Guogong's arms, "Xiaohan misses you so much."

"You ghost girl, why don't you come to see grandpa when you're back?" Lu Guogong let her go, pretending to be angry.

"Hey, isn't that the crown prince is watching closely, so I dare not go." Hua Yihan shook Lu Guogong's arm, pretending to be coquettish,
Speaking of the crown prince, Duke Lu became angry, "Hmph, grandpa is still afraid of that kid!"

"Of course I know that grandpa is not afraid of the prince, but let's not make trouble."

"You're about to reach Jiji, you'll have to come back anyway, and you'll still have to be watched by him." Lu Guogong said angrily.

"Okay, Grandpa, I don't necessarily want to go back even if it's time. Anyway, after so many years, there is no place for me in that family. They wish I didn't go back." Speaking of which, Hua Chengxiu still saw her today. , but did not recognize her at all.

Duke Lu snorted coldly, and then showed a puzzled look, "Why did you go to the Zhan family? How can my granddaughter of Duke Lu be a maid for the second girl of the Zhan family!" Duke Lu was quite dissatisfied with this point.

"Well, in the middle, I can't say a sentence or two clearly. When I have time, I will definitely talk to grandpa."

"No, you have to go back with grandpa tonight." Grandpa really couldn't bear his beloved granddaughter to wait on others, "Tell me, if you come with grandpa today, how can Hua Jinxiu get the limelight?"

Speaking of this, Hua Yihan hurriedly asked: "Grandpa, Hua Jinxiu bumped into His Majesty, what happened?"

"Hmph, what else can happen, that little girl wants to climb the dragon and attach herself to the phoenix, but His Majesty left the Hongying Hall and didn't return to the harem right away. That girl somehow found out about His Majesty's whereabouts, and followed her privately, and finally broke into the forbidden area."

"Forbidden place?"

"Well, there is a place in the south of the Hongying Hall, which was the favorite place for the emperor and Concubine Liang to stay at the beginning. Later, Concubine Liang was gone, and that place became a restricted area. No one dared to go outside of His Majesty. Hmph, that girl is getting carried away today. Do you really think you look like a good concubine?"

Listening to her grandfather's words, Hua Yihan said firmly: "She was obviously framed today." Her goal has always been the prince, how could she go to seduce the emperor!
"Ah?" Duke Lu is a general after all, obviously not as proficient in the intrigue among these women as his granddaughter.

"Okay, Grandpa, I have something else to do, so I won't go back with you for now." Hua Yihan said, clinging to Lu Guogong's side, acting coquettishly for a while.

"Then tell grandpa, what do you want to do?" Lu Guogong wanted to bring his granddaughter home as soon as possible to enjoy the family happiness.

"Well, can I not say it?" Hua Yihan is not sure what her grandfather's attitude towards the Zhan family is. In the last life, the Zhan family was not involved in the battle for the succession because of their neutral attitude. Grandpa got involved, and finally...

"If you don't say anything, then go back with grandpa." Lu Guogong held his granddaughter's hand and said, lowering his head in a gesture of wiping his tears, "I'm really old now, useless, I don't even want my granddaughter... ..."

Seeing Grandpa like this, Hua Yihan's head was full of black lines, "Grandpa..."

"Oh, I'm so pitiful. When I'm old, I don't even have a caring person around me..."

"I am now the third child of the Zhan family, the righteous sister of Zhan Tianxing, and I live in the Weiwuhou Mansion." Hua Yihan compromised.

Duke Lu nodded, "The righteous sister of the third son of the Zhan family, um." Unexpectedly, after nodding his head twice, he suddenly widened his eyes, "The righteous sister of the third son of the Zhan family?"

Seeing the startled look of her grandfather, Hua Yihan's heart skipped a beat suddenly, with a bad feeling in her heart, "What's wrong?"

"Girl, don't tell me, you are the love sister of the legendary third son of the Zhan family?"

Hearing her grandfather talk about this identity, Hua Yihan felt uncomfortable, "Grandpa, those are just rumors. Although I live in Weiwuhou's mansion, Weiwuhou and I are just brother and sister, very innocent."

"No, you have to go back with me later." Lu Guogong's face changed suddenly.

"Grandpa..."

"Being coquettish doesn't work, you girl is simply too messy, although our Da Viet folk customs are open, but the name of the girl's family is still very important, the third son of the Zhan family opened the mansion alone, is there any female family in charge in the mansion, you What does it look like for a girl to live with him!" Duke Lu said sternly.

"Grandpa, of course there is a reason why I live there! I will never marry in this life, so I will just accompany grandpa and never go anywhere!" Hua Yihan spoke from her heart. Ruined, in this life, she no longer has any hope for love.

Besides, her mother had such a noble status back then, so what if she married her father and became the main wife, she didn't enjoy any blessings, so she passed away early, and her life was not as good as that of a girl from a humble background.

Anyway, she can live well without a man, so why should she force herself to adapt to another man?
"You girl, what nonsense are you talking about? There is no girl who doesn't want to marry." Lu Guogong looked at Hua Yihan lovingly, "Grandpa will definitely find you a good man in the future."

"Grandpa..." Hua Yihan said something else.

At this time, the guard outside suddenly knocked on the door, "Master, the third son of the Zhan family is looking for Miss Sun."

When she heard that Zhan Tianxing was looking for her, Hua Yihan felt anxious, "Grandpa, I promise you, I will find time to tell you everything tomorrow, but I really can't go back with you today." The Duke's arms tilted for a moment, then he opened the window, and his body flashed out like a civet cat.

Watching the little body disappear into the night, Lu Guogong's old face was tense, "The third boy of the Zhan family."
