Chapter 42 The five princes who have a problem with their brains
The people who come to this birthday banquet are all nobles, so be extra careful when eating and drinking.
When Situ Feng, who was with him, asked three questions, he said that he was sleepy, and after a sleep, there was a corpse next to him. No one would believe this rhetoric, Mrs. Han cried, and people in the villa were panicked.
Zhou Heshuo was furious, waved someone to suppress it beforehand, and sent the Han family away from the birthday banquet.
Originally, how could the banquet prepared for the Fifth Prince be stopped because of this sudden accident?
But the Han family doesn’t think so. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a rift with the eldest princess, and the Han family members who were closest to the eldest princess suddenly died by the side of the prince’s servants, which is clearly intentional murder .
So, within an hour of the Han family leaving, the villa was surrounded by the imperial army.
Hua Yue hid in the backyard with them, surrounded by anxious ladies.
“What’s the trouble with this?” Chao Feng frowned, “You dare to surround the place set up by the Crown Prince.
Ming Shujiu had already woken up, and stood on tiptoe to watch the movement outside, and said in a low voice: “If others come to surround you, it will be fatal, but this time, who is looking for trouble is not necessarily .”
Hua Yue stood between them with an innocent face, holding half a handful of melon seeds in her hands.
Chaofeng asked her in confusion, “Aren’t you nervous?”
She gave a blank “ah” and asked her: “What happened?”
Chaofeng and Mingshu looked at each other, shook their heads in unison, protected her behind him, and said, “You eat slowly, let’s guard it, even if the Imperial Forest Army comes here, it won’t bother you. You eat melon seeds.”
It’s really gentle, Huayue squatted on the sunflower seeds and thought, she was so kind to them, if Xu Changyi and Liu Chenghe went to Qifenglou again in the future, she would also send them a message.
In the distance, there was a heart-wrenching cry for no reason. It sounded a little intimidating, she shrank towards Feng Se, and Ming Shu protected her behind her, and said softly: “Don’t be afraid, they should come over later.”
Although the men usually don’t live in the local area, they are also people who protect their shortcoming. The villa is not very peaceful. It is comprehensive.
Sure enough, not long after Chaofeng said these words, Xu Changyi and Liu Chenghe hurried over, and the two of them took the three of them out from the crowd with a sigh of relief.
“You go by car first.” Xu Changyi said, “You can go out through the back door.”
Liu Chenghe gave him a disapproving look, and before he could refute, Ming Shu spoke first: “This is the fifth prince’s birthday banquet, and quitting without resignation is for the fifth prince and the prince. Disrespectful, even if it is safe for a while, it will inevitably fall into the wrong hands in the future.”
Xu Changyi was slightly annoyed: “You have so many ideas, why did you tremble with fear?”
Ming Shu smiled lightly: “That’s because I haven’t seen you. When I see you, I won’t be afraid. We can discuss it in the long run.”
Seeing her heart full of trust, Xu Changyi coughed and pressed his fist to the corner of his mouth: “You can go if you don’t want to go, just follow me, the boss is there, there will always be no one Dare to offend.”
Liu Chenghe nodded: “That’s what I mean, you bring Mingshu, I bring Chaofeng, let’s go to the vicinity of the main court and borrow a handful of the prince’s dragon shadow, this mess will be easy. It won’t fall on our heads.”
The four reached an agreement, then turned their heads in unison to look at Yin Huayue.
Hua Yue pinched a melon seed, slightly embarrassed.
Li Jingyun didn’t come over. With his status in Zhou Heshuo, he would definitely not care about her for a while.
Chaofeng also realized this problem, opened his mouth and said: “Hua Yue, why don’t you just follow…”
“Follow me.” A clear voice interjected next to her, and she just caught it.
Several people turned around curiously, and saw a young man wearing a moon-white brocade robe coming over, smiling and standing beside Huayue: “You are all free, I can take care of her when I am free. ”
Zhou Hemin was very sad, his sword eyebrows drooped down, and he said sadly: “I don’t blame you for betraying me and letting me be taken back to sit in silence for an hour, why don’t you like me?”
“It’s not that I don’t want to see you.” She looked at him strangely, “It’s just that they meet by chance and don’t know each other. Your Excellency is so diligent, either a traitor or a thief.”
Zhou Hemin was dumbfounded: “I… thief?”
He seemed to have been hit by a big blow, turned his head and asked Xu Changyi in disbelief: “I look like a bad guy?”
Xu Changyi’s face was a little blue, he stared at the two in front of him for a long time, hesitantly said: “That can’t be, Your Royal Highness is a man of destiny, how can he be related to bad words .”
”
Hua Yue looked at them and thought to herself that these two dandy sons, it is rare for them to be so panicked, it seems that the person beside her has a lot of background.
Then she reacted for a while, and her eyes filled with confusion: “What did you just say about the fifth prince?”
Chaofeng was amused by her dull appearance, pinched her arm and reminded in a low voice, “This is the fifth prince of the dynasty, and today is his fifteenth birthday.”
Hua Yue’s face was two points greener than Xu Changyi’s after hearing this.
How can this be the fifth prince? Shouldn’t the protagonist of the birthday banquet be by the prince’s side, or sit in the main court? Why is he still running around and talking to someone like her?
Zhou Hemin’s suffocating heart finally found the slightest solace in her panicked expression: “So you don’t know me.”
How will she know the fifth prince of Daliang? Hua Yue smiled and gritted her teeth. This person didn’t have a plaque on his forehead, and he didn’t wear dragon-patterned clothes. Did she really want her to greet him with the “dragon spirit” around him?
Damn it.
“The little girl is offended.” She bowed her knees with sincerity, “Please forgive me, Your Highness.”
However, Zhou and Min were different, he laughed again, stroked his palms and said, “You must be scolding me in your stomach.”
Yin Huayue: “…”
Xu Liu et al: “…”
So happy to be scolded?
Hua Yue is very emotional, God is fair after all, give a person a rich background and Zhou Zheng’s face, he will definitely give him an abnormal brain.
Zhou Hemin is so wealthy and upright that his mind is extraordinarily abnormal: “Whose concubine are you? Losing his temper?”
Xu Changyi didn’t look right, and came up to answer for Huayue: “This is the concubine of the third son of the Li family, gentle and considerate, and will definitely not cause trouble for the third master at this time. Your Highness does not need to worry, Here are a few of us watching.”
Zhou Hemin waved his hand: “I’m not worried, but I just walked around because of the quarrel ahead.”
He said, turned his head and whispered to her: “Have you ever seen the prince and the eldest princess quarrel?”
Hua Yue nodded: “I was fortunate to see it once on Guanshan.”
“Hey, as you can see, it’s not a real quarrel.” Zhou Hemin said meaningfully, “The two of them really quarrel, and even a palace servant will not stay within ten feet.”
I have never seen anyone so keen to gossip about their siblings. Hua Yue despised this brotherly act, and then asked curiously, “Then how do you know what they really quarreled like?”
Looking around, Zhou Hemin waved to them, and all five heads came together in an instant.
“I’ve eavesdropped outside the door.” He whispered, “They are stupid, they don’t even leave a palace servant within ten feet, and if someone eavesdrops outside, no one is there. can be found.”
Liu Chenghe bowed his hands to him in admiration: “You are not afraid that the prince will trouble you.”
“So, dare to ask Your Highness to know what’s going on ahead?” Xu Changyi couldn’t help but said, “It’s a good birthday banquet.
“What else can I do? Today is the banquet held by the prince’s brother, and even the elder sister was not invited. The elder sister was very unhappy. Two.” Zhou Hemin said cheerfully, “The Imperial Forest Army might fight with the Prince’s brother’s Imperial Army.”
…Why is such a terrible thing said in such a cheerful tone?
Hua Yue glanced in the direction of the main court and frowned slightly.
“Are you worried about the third son of Li?” Zhou Hemin said honestly, “He is a person, and as long as the prince’s brother is safe, no one can touch him. If you have time to spare, why don’t you go and see me? lively.”
It was funny to hear, Huayue looked back at him: “Your Highness’s birthday banquet is like this, do you still have the heart to watch the fun?”
“It’s more fun than a birthday banquet.” Zhou Hemin hummed softly, “To bring such a large group of people to give me some flattery, it would be better to lock the eldest elder sister and elder brother of the prince together and let them Fight for me.”
“Sorry for the offense, you are really not in line with the rules.” Hua Yue persuaded righteously.
Then asked him in a low voice, “Where to look?”
Xu Changyi wiped his face, tugged at Liu Chenghe’s sleeve next to him, and gave him a look: think about it.
Liu Chenghe is inexplicable: You dare to manage the people of the third master, are you tired of living?
What if the man was kidnapped by the Fifth Prince? Xu Changyi was very worried. Although the fifth prince was young, he seemed to be very playful, and he might not have any intentions. However, when these two were mixed together, it was inappropriate, right?
“Hey…” He stretched out his hand.
Ming Shu pulled his hand back and whispered, “The Han family will not deal with Huayue. Now that the third master is not here, it is safest for her to follow the fifth prince.”
“Yeah, why are you panicking.” Chao Feng said, “That’s a sensible girl who won’t cause trouble.”
It’s not that trouble is not troublesome, Xu Changyi looked at Liu Chenghe desperately: “If the third master asks, you can answer.”
“Me? I have something to do.” Liu Chenghe pulled Chaofeng and turned his head away, “See you later.”
Xu Changyi cursed lowly.
Below the wall outside the main courtyard lobby.
Then she understood why the fifth prince said that what they could see was not a real quarrel.
Previously, on Guanshan Mountain, the prince and the eldest princess quarreled about something like water, and they just pointed at Sang and scolded Huai in a strange way.
My people, if you move, if you move one, I will move you ten! Didn’t I fancy that the little girl from the Zhao family wanted to be a good Yuan, I tell you, there is no way, I will chop her up and feed it to the dog tomorrow!”
“I just received the reward from my father, I’m in a good mood, and my voice is not as good as you, the wicked woman who was scolded by the middle palace.” Zhou Heshuo stood not far away and shot back coldly, “Yes It’s better to go back and guard the wild men in your palace, get women outside the palace, and don’t be afraid to go back with a disease of flowers and willows.”
Tell you, do you really think that the people around you are eager to help you, don’t you? To please the Fifth Emperor, to please Li Jingyun, and to please the ministers in the court, you think you can impeach the court in this way, you are dreaming! Today is Han Tianyong who died , Li Jingyun will die tomorrow, you can’t protect him, and you can’t protect yourself!”
My heart tightened, Huayue held her breath.
A wicked woman who can’t get married really has a vicious heart. But unfortunately, Jing Yun is different from a waste like Han Tianyong, don’t underestimate him.”
“I dare not underestimate him.” The eldest princess sneered, “After all, he is the one who can rescue Han Shuang from your wolf’s den. Eyes, where is the fuel-efficient lamp?”
The room was quiet for a moment.
Huayue didn’t dare to move at all, leaning against the wall, her back was shivering with chills.
She knew that Li Jingyun was always on the cusp of the storm, but she didn’t know that his situation was so terrible, life and death were all between the two of them.
She is not worried about him, but he is also a member of the general’s mansion, and both prosperity and loss will be lost. If something happens to Li Jingyun, his wife will not be better.
The two people in the room continued to quarrel before being quiet for a while, what a slut, what a cheap bastard, two people of noble birth, they are really not inferior to the folks when they swear battle.
Zhou Hemin listened with relish, and when they couldn’t scold her any new tricks, they dragged her away.
“Listen and listen, don’t take it to heart.” Seeing that the mood of the people around him was not right, Zhou Hemin smiled at her, “When they quarrel, they say everything, and it may not be true. Can do.”
“Thank you, Your Highness.” Hua Yue bowed her head and saluted, and continued to wander.
“Will I go to your house to play with you tomorrow?” he asked.
Hua Yue thought it was absurd, and she retrieved two strands of thoughts and said helplessly: “Your Highness, the little girl is already a concubine, no matter how noble you are, you are still a male, how can a male go to the house to find someone to play with a concubine? reason?”
Sighing regretfully, Zhou Hemin asked, “Isn’t it okay to play with the third son?”
“The little girl doesn’t care about this…”
Ready.
Before the last two words were finished, Huayue realized something, her pupils shrank, and she quickly turned to look at him.
He didn’t seem to know anything, and he seemed to know everything in his chest. He smiled and lowered his eyebrows and asked her, “Can you do it?”
“You—” looked back at the main court that had been left behind, then raised his eyes to look at this man, his eyes darkened a few times, he finally swallowed the words and bowed his knees respectfully to him : “Of course it works.”
“That’s it.” Zhou Hemin fluttered his sleeves, the corners of his lips raised, “That’s it.”
She was still worried about whether Li Jingyun would really have an accident tomorrow, and now that he said this, Huayue felt that there was nothing to worry about. He wouldn’t kill someone so blatantly.
Curiosity began to surge.
She knows some news about the Daliang royal family, that the middle palace and the eldest princess, the crown prince and Yao Guifei are fighting for power for the party, and that the sixth princess and the seventh prince have no competition in the world and are not involved in the government. But she seldom heard any news from the fifth prince. The prince, who had his back on the prime minister’s uncle, seemed to have no ambition, but he was by no means an idle person.
“Do you have something to ask me?” Zhou Hemin raised his eyebrows.
Subconsciously covering her heart, Huayue asked horribly, “You can read minds?”
“That’s not it.” He looked at her and smiled playfully, “You are too interesting, and your thoughts are written in your eyes. It’s hard for ordinary people to see, but if you look carefully, you can see I know what you’re thinking.”
Flower Moon immediately covered her eyes.
“Hahaha.” Zhou Hemin laughed, leaning on the vermilion pillar by the corridor and staring at her, “It’s useless to block now, let’s get straight to the point, I won’t blame you.”
Hesitantly put down her hand, Hua Yue frowned slightly, looked at him and said, “Five princes are among the dragons and phoenixes, why are you entangled with the servants like the little girl?”
“Subordinate?” Zhou Hemin was very puzzled, “Why do you look like a subordinate?”
Inexplicably, she tugged at her concubine-colored dress, then pointed at her plain dress, Huayue asked: “I don’t look like a servant? Compared to her, she is a wild girl.”
“What does dressing mean?” He waved his hand in disapproval, “A palace maid wearing a phoenix robe is also a palace maid, and a noble person wearing linen is also a noble person.”
“…” Would you like to stop being a prince and set up a stall to show people?
That’s what she thought in her heart, Huayue didn’t dare to say it. At first she felt that there was something wrong with the fifth prince’s head, but now she looked at him and felt that this person seemed very interesting.
“The little girl changed the question.” She looked away and asked in a low voice, “You don’t go to enjoy the birthday banquet, and you stand here with the little girl, what are you planning?”
Zhou Hemin glanced at her up and down, smiled and said: “I am a prince, I have endless money, and endless beauty. You are Li Jingyun’s side room, a married woman, what can I imagine ?”
After a pause, he explained kindly: “I really think you are interesting, so I want to play with you. People who are wary have strange experiences, and most of them won’t be easily tempted, but You are different, you are wary, but your heart is soft, you vomit after eating a piece of peanut cake, but you are reluctant to throw it away, like a child who is afraid of being beaten, wants to reach out for candy, but has scruples.”
The most interesting thing in the world is contradiction.
Hua Yue is eighteen years old this year, three years older than the fifth prince, so even if her status is low, being aware of everything by a child still makes her a little embarrassed. She folded her hands, put on her coldest arrogance, and said calmly, “Your Highness should not be too one-sided when looking at people.”
Zhou Hemin said with a smile: “I think I see it right, just like now, you don’t want to reveal too much to strangers, so you want to leave.”
He said, turned his body to trap her by the vermilion pillar, lowered his eyes and looked at her deeply: “Don’t worry, I will not betray you.”
Why is a fifteen-year-old so much taller than her? Hua Yue wanted to stare at him, but her short stature seemed unimpressive. She pursed her lips and said angrily, “Thank you, Your Highness, but if there is another time, the little girl will still betray His Highness.”
Remembering the miserable appearance of being chased and intercepted by palace servants, Zhou Hemin finally showed the shame that a young man should have, he let go and hummed: “Then I won’t protect you. My sweetheart, let him fend for himself tomorrow.”
Speaking, turn around and leave.
Let’s go, who can scare such a childish threat, Huayue disdainful, thinking about her sweetheart.
However, her hand stretched out out of nowhere and grabbed the person.
Zhou Hemin paused, looked back and raised his eyebrows, and was about to tease her when he saw several people approaching the corner of the corridor.
“It’s not a big deal, please also ask the third son to say something nice for us.”
“Yeah, they’re all a family, it’s probably a misunderstanding.”
