However, speaking of the second prince, Han Xiao remembered that Lu Qingyun seemed to have mentioned him to him before.

The second prince is the adopted son of the current queen, Empress Zhang. His biological mother was unlucky and died shortly after giving birth to him.

Since her natal family had little power, she was raised by Empress Zhang, who had no children.

Originally, the relationship between mother and son was quite harmonious, and Empress Zhang was also very devoted to the Second Prince. After all, if they could support the Second Prince to ascend to the throne, their Zhang family would also be able to make further progress.

However, since Empress Zhang gave birth to a son, the status of the second prince has become awkward.

Including the ministers who secretly supported the second prince, they didn't know what to choose for a moment.

The relationship between the Second Prince and Empress Zhang was not as warm as before, and Empress Zhang even began to be wary of the Second Prince.

But the second prince has already reached adulthood and has consolidated his power, while the little prince is still in his infancy. No one can predict whether the second prince will be ruthless to the little prince.

Lu Qingyun glanced around and smiled awkwardly: "Hey, I'm just afraid that the walls have ears, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Qingyun saw the second prince in gorgeous clothes looking at him.

Lu Qingyun suddenly tensed up, and a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes.

Han Xiao also noticed the look in the Second Prince's eyes, and thought to himself, since they were so far away, could he really have heard the two of them discussing him?

Come to think of it, it's impossible. Not to mention that their voices were not very loud, the noise at the wedding banquet and the sound of musical instruments were so loud that even if they were face to face, they would have to shout loudly, otherwise no one would be able to hear them.

Unless the second prince has super hearing.

Lu Qingyun came closer and whispered slyly, "You saw it, he's looking at us."

Han Xiao rolled his eyes. The Second Prince had indeed glanced at them, but that was all. "Okay, don't worry about that. Just watch the show."

Lu Qingyun finally calmed down, but he still introduced some important figures at the wedding banquet to Han Xiao.

Han Xiao listened attentively and no longer paid attention to the Second Prince.

The Second Prince dismissed the person who came over to offer his courtesy, glanced at Han Xiao, and asked Master Zhang beside him, "Who is that? Why does he look a little unfamiliar?"

Lord Zhang followed the Second Prince's gaze and saw Han Xiao and Lu Qingyun. His expression immediately turned unhappy, but he quickly recovered and replied, "Your Highness, the man's name is Han Xiao. He's just a businessman, but his father is quite influential."

Ever since Empress Zhang gave birth to a son, the relationship between the Zhang family and the Second Prince has not been as close, so they did not tell the Second Prince about Han Xiao's affairs.

"Oh? What's his background?" The second prince became interested. Someone who even Zhang Yuanzhong was afraid of must be no ordinary person.

Zhang Yuanzhong's forehead was covered with cold sweat. For a moment he didn't know what to say to the Second Prince. To be honest, the Second Prince would be suspicious why such an important matter was not reported in advance.

If you don't tell the truth, Han Mingyuan's affairs will be exposed sooner or later.

The issue of cement concrete has now caused a lot of uproar in the court. Everyone knows that this thing was made by the third prince Chu Jinglin. The second prince wants to get involved, so he has no time to care about other things.

Therefore, I don’t know where Han Xiao and his friends are in Beijing.

Seeing Zhang Yuanzhong hesitant and unable to speak for a long time, the Second Prince's face turned cold: "Why, is there something that Your Highness cannot know?"

Hearing that the Second Prince was about to lose his temper, Zhang Yuanzhong quickly bent down and apologized: "Second Prince, please calm down. It's just that this matter is really embarrassing to talk about..."

"Hmph, I think Lord Zhang is not ashamed, but wants to hide it from me." The second prince narrowed his eyes in displeasure.

The Zhang family is becoming more and more outrageous. Empress Zhang gave birth to just a little baby, and we don’t know if the baby can grow up. Aren’t there many princes who died accidentally in the palace?

The second prince lowered his eyes, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

"I dare not." Lord Zhang said tremblingly.

"Your Highness, this Han Xiao is nothing to be afraid of. He's just his father, Han Mingyuan, the last disciple of Mr. Qinghe. Few people know about this at the moment. I only found out about this after... after I had some friction with Han Xiao and was warned by Mr. Qinghe's people."

What Zhang Yuanzhong said was half true and half false. The second prince looked at him without saying a word, and it was unknown whether he believed Zhang Yuanzhong's words or not.

"Is that why?"

Zhang Yuanzhong's expression trembled as he said, "Indeed, Your Highness, if you don't believe me, feel free to check."

Unexpectedly, the Second Prince flicked his sleeves and said coldly, "Forget it, there's no need for this. You can go down."

Zhang Yuanzhong bowed and left immediately.

After Zhang Yuanzhong left, the second prince picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and looked in the direction of Han Xiao.

He didn't believe a word of what Zhang Yuanzhong had just said, but if he checked now, the information he would find would probably be not much different from what he said.

The second prince was unwilling to lose the Zhang family, a big tree, so he could only turn a blind eye, but he still had to make preparations for both situations.

"Bai Cang, go check Han Xiao's background." The second prince said softly to the person behind him.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Han Xiao didn't know that he had been targeted by the Second Prince, but even if he knew, he would just laugh it off. It was too late for the Second Prince to investigate now.

There were more and more guests at the wedding banquet, and the same was true at the banquet for the women in the backyard.

The young master sat in his seat, holding Han's mother's arm and talking to her in a low voice.

Suddenly the banquet fell silent, and the young master looked out the door in confusion.

A woman unexpectedly came in from outside the door. She was the woman in red whom I saw on the street that day.

Red clothes and white hair. This time the young master was closer and could see very clearly. It turned out that the woman in red had white hair and eyebrows, and her pupils were also a light gold.

The young master was completely stunned by what he saw. He had never seen such a beautiful person, like a fairy.

The other people at the banquet also began to talk in low voices when they saw the woman in red.

"Who is this? Why does he look so strange? Is he a monster?"

"Don't say that. I know her. She came back with General Huo. I heard she is General Huo's daughter."

"General Huo's daughter? Isn't General Huo unmarried? Where did this daughter come from? And she looks so weird." Although he said it was strange, there was still a hint of jealousy in his eyes.

"Who knows? Besides, I heard that this girl is not simple."

As for how it was not simple, she didn't know.

The woman walked in gracefully, her figure swaying. If it weren't for her hair color, you would have thought she was the wife of the lord in the capital.
