The eyes of Miss Qian Si and Miss Qian Liu suddenly lit up, and they felt amorous when they saw the handsome prince sitting at the top.
"Mother, let's go and give it a try." Miss Qian's eyes lit up as she touched her hair.
The Second Young Master Qian was more thoughtful and did not support them: "My brother and I are now following the Marquis of Pingyang, and the Marquis of Pingyang is following His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince. If we go along with the Crown Prince, wouldn't we be fence-sitters? We would be in dire straits."
Third Young Master Qian also glared at Lu Lingjiao: "What a rotten idea you're giving! Don't you know where your brother stands?"
Lu Lingjiao shuddered subconsciously and quickly pulled Third Young Master Qian's arm, acting coquettishly: "I know I was wrong." She looked at Wei again and smiled flatteringly: "My two sisters are as beautiful as flowers and are still young. Wait two years, and then your sister-in-law will find you a good husband."
Wei's eyes moved back and forth between the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince, then she sighed and said, "Forget it, let it be."
Although her family members said so, Miss Qian was not willing to accept it. Her sister was still young, but she was old enough and had her period. She could say that they had kissed each other. So what if she hadn't reached the age of marriage yet?
They just can't stand seeing me doing well! Miss Qian Si immediately pulled Miss Qian Liu up and said, "Mother, let's go out for a walk."
"Don't run around." Wei said with a smile.
The two ran away hand in hand, smiling. At this moment, there were many people holding wine and toasting everywhere, and many girls were talking in groups of three or five. The two of them left without attracting anyone's attention.
A young eunuch secretly ran to Madam Yu, glanced at Madam Yu, and said, "The Crown Princess invites Madam Yu to come over and talk."
Madam Yu turned to look at Qin Wan. They looked at each other, nodded and smiled.
Mrs. Yu didn't think much about it and said to her daughter-in-law, "Then go."
Madam Yu stood up and said, "At the last flower viewing banquet, my daughter-in-law and the Crown Princess had a very pleasant conversation. This time, I think she will introduce her to the wife of the Crown Prince Qin."
After saying this, she bowed and left with the eunuch who delivered the message.
However, the two did not go up to the front row, but walked out through the crowd.
Madam Yu noticed she was going in the wrong direction and asked hurriedly, "Aren't you going to see the Crown Princess? Why are you going out?"
The young eunuch said, "We're not going anywhere else, just to the side hall. The Crown Princess has something to tell you about the Sixth Princess."
Sixth Princess?
Madam Yu frowned slightly. The Sixth Princess was about to marry her younger uncle. She and the Sixth Princess would be sisters-in-law in the future. Could it be that the Crown Princess really had something to tell her?
Or maybe...
Young Mistress Yu's heart tightened. Though her father-in-law was a scholar, he wasn't pedantic. He would share state affairs with her and her mother-in-law. He often said that while women in the inner chambers couldn't influence government, they could influence their husbands. Their ignorance could bring harm to their entire families if they weren't careful. Therefore, the women in the household should all be aware of what was happening at court.
I don't ask for a future for the men in my family, but I just ask not to cause trouble to the family and not let others take advantage of me for nothing.
Thinking of this, Madam Yu Shao stopped asking questions and followed the young eunuch.
Xie Qing saw Qin Wan looking towards the Yu family and asked her sideways, "Did you have a pleasant conversation with Madam Yu that day? If so, you can summon her to the palace to chat with you in the future."
Qin Wan shook her head: "Just now I saw a little eunuch talking to her, and she looked at me, a little strange."
"Oh?" Xie Qing looked at the Yu family's table thoughtfully, and happened to see Young Master Yu. Their eyes met and they both nodded.
As Master Yu looked away, a palace maid appeared beside him...
A young eunuch also came to Xie Qing's side and said, "Your Highness, Lord Yu has something to discuss with you in the side hall."
Xie Qing frowned in confusion: "Master Yu, if you have something to ask, you can come to me in person. Why did you go to the side hall?"
The young eunuch said respectfully, "I don't know either. But seeing that Lord Yu looks unhappy, it seems that there is something urgent."
Xie Qing looked over at the Yu family's table, and sure enough, there was no sign of Lord Yu, and Young Master Yu and Young Madam Yu were not there either.
He couldn't help but look at Qin Wan: "Wanwan?"
Qin Wan also felt something was wrong: "Can you go over and take a look?"
Xie Qing nodded. He had to find out what the trap was by himself.
Qin Wan looked at Xie Qing's back, then looked at the table of the Yu family, her eyes flickering: "Zi Gui."
Zigui leaned forward to listen, then turned around and left quickly.
Xie Qing followed the young eunuch out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony and smelled a strange fragrance before reaching the side hall.
He frowned: "What kind of fragrance is this?"
The young eunuch replied cautiously, "Today is the palace banquet. The Crown Princess ordered people to burn incense everywhere. These are exotic spices, selected by the Crown Princess herself."
Qin Wan chooses spices?
Xie Qing raised his eyebrows and looked at the young eunuch meaningfully, "Oh? Did the Crown Princess choose it specially?"
The young eunuch replied, "Yes."
As they were talking, they had already reached the door of the side hall. The eunuch pushed open the door, and the fragrance became even stronger. The eunuch bowed deeply and said, "Your Highness, please come in."
Xie Qing stepped through the door, and a stronger fragrance filled his nose. He looked at the figure behind the screen, step by step towards him...
"ah!"
A sharp female scream came from the side hall, piercing the night sky and shattering the peaceful palace banquet.
Concubine Min's heart skipped a beat. She stood up quickly, wanted to leave, and looked at Qin Wan again.
Qin Wan slowly stood up, held out her hand to Yi Jia, and with her support, she walked towards Concubine Min: "Madam Concubine Min, shall we go over and take a look?"
"Okay." Concubine Min took a deep breath, her face looked very bad. Who was causing trouble at the palace banquet?
She had presided over palace affairs many times over the years, but this was her first time hosting a palace banquet, and something unexpected had happened. She had already agreed with the boss that she would no longer covet the throne, but now she was dragged into this trouble...
Concubine Min was really disgusting. She couldn't help but look at the third prince's biological mother. It better not be her who did it!
The Third Prince's mother was also baffled, but subconsciously she remained motionless. When the situation was unclear, the wisest course of action was to remain silent. She hadn't done anything, so why would she join in the fun? It would only give people something to talk about. Not only did she not move, she also ordered the Third Prince and his wife to remain motionless. She also restrained everyone around her, forbidding them from joining in the fun.
When Mrs. Yu heard the scream, her heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously looked around, only to see her husband rushing towards her in the crowd.
She stepped forward and grabbed Lord Yu's hand, her voice trembling: "Why do I feel so uneasy all of a sudden? This voice..."
Lord Yu's face turned pale. "We want to keep ourselves out of trouble, but some people can't stand us getting any better. So, there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, and we have no choice but to brave them."
"But..." Mrs. Yu felt distressed. If this was really her daughter-in-law's voice, what had happened?
Everyone sees the flowers and brocades in the palace, but no one sees the raging fire and oil behind it!
