When Li Shengyi heard the eunuch's high-pitched voice coming from outside, her eyes subconsciously moved among the guest seats.
After seeing Liu Jing sitting next to the Grand Tutor, she curled the corners of her lips. As she lowered her eyes and suppressed the emotions in her brows, she was pulled down from the chair and the late-coming Crown Prince bowed to him.
Finally, I see another important character! His Royal Highness, Crown Prince Chu Huaiyuan, may be a bit soft-tempered, but if he can successfully ascend the throne, he will surely be a good emperor who loves his country and his people.
[What a pity! Ever since Liu Hanyan entered the Eastern Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never had a good day.]
Liu Hanyan suffers from headaches and fevers every day, or coughs and wheezing. She appears to be a delicate little white flower, but in reality, she is seducing the Crown Prince specifically for the Second Prince.
By the time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had recovered, the people he had deployed in the court had already been manipulated by the Second Prince. Finally, the tyrant emperor passed away, leaving him with no power left.
[Ah, another love-brained guy who gave up his career for love. No wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has such a good relationship with my father and Meng Jiuan.]
Qin Songmo and Meng Jiuan, who were listening carefully to their little daughter's thoughts a moment ago and were secretly considering the Crown Prince's marriage.
The next moment, after hearing the little daughter's inner complaints, both of them froze.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. My father is still able to listen to advice, and Meng Jiuan has grown a little bit of his brain now.
"Will His Royal Highness listen to my advice? I'm just a small fry..."
"This is a family dinner, so there's no need to be formal."
Just as Li Shengyi was lost in thought, a smiling, spring-like voice fell into her ears.
Li Shengyi looked up in the direction of the voice and sighed again inwardly when he saw Chu Huaiyuan's extraordinary face.
[What a nice person, what a handsome guy! How could he, at such a young age, have contracted this incurable disease of love brain?]
Chu Huaiyuan couldn't hear her inner voice.
As soon as he entered the garden, he saw his good friend Qin Songmo at a glance.
If it weren't for the fact that he was surrounded by ministers, as the crown prince, he would not be able to appear too intimate with his ministers.
He must have walked up quickly and told his good friend about the suffering he had endured in the palace during this period.
Because the Second Prince was unwell, only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to attend Yun Bixian's birthday party today.
Chu Huaiyuan was dissatisfied because he was arranged to sit at the same table with Qin Songmo but sat in the main seat.
However, when he saw the soft, white and tender little ball of light red color beside Qin Songmo, the dissatisfaction between his eyebrows disappeared instantly.
"Yuan Qing, this is..."
As soon as Chu Huaiyuan sat down, Li Shengyi felt a burning gaze falling on him.
At the same time, a small dumpling appeared in front of her.
Then Chu Huaiyuan saw the little water-red ball open its mouth obediently and bite off the small ball that was handed to it, while looking up and meeting his eyes.
The moment his eyes met Li Shengyi's, Chu Huaiyuan's breathing stopped.
He tightened his grip on the chopsticks and smiled at the little ball who was staring at him, revealing what he thought was a kind smile.
"Replying to His Royal Highness, this is the adopted daughter, Li Shengyi, whom Your Highness mentioned to me. She was brought back to the mansion from the roadside during the Buddha worship that day."
"Shengyi, I'm honored to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Shengyi still had food in his mouth.
After swallowing the food whole, she stood up and saluted Chu Huaiyuan in a serious manner, "Your servant Li Shengyi greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Chu Huaiyuan took in her every move. When she raised her head, the smile between his eyebrows became even brighter. "Li Shengyi? What a nice name."
"When Little Twelve summoned you to the palace to play, I was busy. Otherwise, I would have heard Yuan Qing mention his kindness to you early in the morning and wanted to see you."
"Now that I see her, she is indeed as Yuan Qing said, well-behaved and cute."
Chu Huaiyuan looked at Li Shengyi like a pervert, causing cold sweat to run down the latter's forehead.
[I almost forgot, this Crown Prince seems to be a daughter slave? ]
Because of the fierce competition within the harem, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince swore a solemn oath early in life to marry and love only one person.
[He truly did manage to drink only a small portion of the vast expanse of water. Unfortunately, Liu Hanyan wasn't as docile as he thought. Even the daughter they had after their wedding wasn't the Crown Prince's?]
[Whose is that? Liu Hanyan is the Second Prince's, so it can't be the Second Prince's, right? The other person's... then it could be the Fifth Prince's? But the Fifth Prince is only related to Su Jinrou.]
The more I think about it, the more I feel that the author of the original book has a hole in his brain.
There are so many good men in the book, but their endings are all tragic.
What's more, the author wanted to highlight the wisdom of the male protagonist Chu Huaifeng in pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and also to show the powerful halo of the female protagonist.
Whenever a supporting character in the book encounters these two, his or her intelligence will be lowered to a certain extent.
Although Liu Hanyan has no direct relationship with Chu Huaifeng, she does have an indirect one.
Coupled with the infatuated character of Crown Prince Chu Huaiyuan, it is not unfair for him to be played around like that.
She raised her hand and gently stroked her forehead. When Li Shengyi looked up again, she saw a look of worry on her little face.
Chu Huaiyuan was immediately anxious when he saw this. "What's the matter? Did Shengyi make me unhappy?"
"Yuan Qing, why is this?"
Qin Songmo listened to everything his little daughter had to say. Now when he faced His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, not to mention the worry on his little daughter's face.
Even he wanted to let out a long sigh.
Qin Songmo poured wine for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself, shook his head and said softly, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, I have something I want to discuss with you privately someday."
Now Chu Huaiyuan was even more confused.
How come he just arrived and the daughter of his beloved friend looked at him with a sad face?
His friend also looked as if he had something to hide, and even Meng Jiuan, who was the most impulsive, shook his head at him.
No, what does this mean?!
Fortunately, Chu Huaiyuan was not the protagonist of this family dinner.
Just when Chu Huaiyuan was filled with question marks, Yun Bixin finally arrived in a fancy dress.
Today is Yun Bixin's 40th birthday, but even so, he doesn't look old.
As the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, he has made a lot of money from sitting in this position over the years.
So the Bachelor's Mansion looks ordinary on the surface, but it is actually very impressive inside.
Qin Songmo and others have turned a blind eye over the years, but now that His Majesty is in poor health, the Second Prince can no longer sit still and secretly reaches out.
As a member of the Second Prince's party, Yun Bixian would naturally not sit idly by.
It just so happened that when Meng Jiuan went to Jiangnan some time ago to investigate the Second Prince's collusion with envoys from other countries, he also mentioned that Yun Bixian was also involved. This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
