Helian Yu argued with the prince for a long time until the banquet began and Helian Yu took his seat.

Ci Dong and Ying Yue served him, while He Lian Yu focused on eating and drinking.

At the banquet, everyone had different attitudes. Some were making friendly noises in a low voice, some were observing carefully, and most people were enjoying the singing and dancing politely.

Beside the Queen Mother, Shuang'er had a mocking look on her face.

I don't understand why Helian Yu deserves the love of the emperor and the princes.

In such an important occasion, she didn't behave well, but instead ate and drank. She didn't act like a princess at all.

Helian Yu could sense Shuang'er's malicious intent. She raised her hand and motioned Chang'an to lower himself: "What is the origin of the girl beside the Queen Mother?"

"The daughter of the guilty minister, Prince Cen, was raised by the Queen Mother and was stripped of her title of Princess. Now she has no name or status and is called Miss Shuang'er." Chang An explained to her in a low voice, using the dish as a cover, and added, "Your Highness, be careful. Prince Cen's case is somewhat related to you. I wonder if she will resent Your Highness."

Helian Yu nodded, but she was not often in the palace, let alone going to the Empress Dowager's palace, so it would be extremely difficult for Shuang'er to harm her or anything.

Helian Yu didn't worry about the uncertain things, and happily instructed Chang An to serve her food.

The palace maid who was originally serving the food stepped back and was replaced by Chang An.

Chang An entered the palace at a young age, so his service skills were beyond doubt. He was also familiar with Helian Yu's taste. He would observe which dish her eyes fell on and then pick up the dish with his chopsticks, which was extremely considerate.

The prince was closest to Helian Yu, and asked her jokingly, "Chang'an is so comfortable with it, I'm afraid even if Zhaoyang was given ten thousand gold coins, he wouldn't change it, right?"

Helian Yu tilted his head and looked at the prince: "Brother Prince, do you want to exchange ten thousand gold for Chang'an?"

"Zhaoyang is willing?" The prince smiled and said, "I'm afraid Zhaoyang is willing, but Chang'an is not."

Chang An lowered his eyes, his beautiful and thick eyelashes quietly pressed down, covering everything in his eyes, until the prince mentioned him, then he replied: "Chang An listens to the master's orders, ten thousand gold, a thousand gold, a hundred gold, and it is also up to the master to decide."

The prince showed some disappointment without changing his expression and teased Helian Yu: "Everyone around Zhaoyang is loyal, not bad, not bad."

Helian Yu put his arm on the table and blinked his big eyes: "Prince brother, do you want to change? Do you want to change?"

The prince didn't understand Helian Yu's intention. Did she really want to exchange for ten thousand gold coins? But he didn't believe that she would be so stupid as to give up Chang An.

"Zhaoyang asked for a change, so I naturally agreed."

"Then Prince, please prepare ten thousand gold coins. After the banquet, Chang An will go with Prince!"

Chang An's eyelashes trembled slightly, and although his body did not move, his inner unrest was exposed. He was like a dead tree in the autumn wind, motionless, but rotten from the inside.

"But..." Helian Yuwei stretched out his little feather and scratched the tip of people's hearts, "If Chang An runs back at night, you can't catch him back."

Prince: “…”

It turns out that he is here to get a fortune from him.

Chang An's lips curled slightly, and he echoed in a low voice: "Don't worry, Your Highness, Chang An knows the way."

Not far away, Helian Chi saw the movements of several people and glanced at Zhuo Liu behind him: "Go over and ask what happened."

Zhuo Liu hesitated: "Your Highness, this is inappropriate, right?"

"What's inappropriate?" Helian Chi smiled, "Did I force them? I just asked you to find out. If they want to tell me, they will tell me."

"What if you don't want to?"

"Don't want to?" Helian Chi smiled gently and deeply, "Then I will report to the Minister of Rites tomorrow."

The Minister of Rites is on the Prince's side, so the Prince will definitely protect him.

Zhuo Liu: “…”

Zhuo Liu went over, but he didn't dare to ask the prince, nor did he dare to say what his prince had said to threaten the prince. He just moved to Helian Yu's side, knelt down, and asked pitifully: "Your Highness, my prince wants to know what you just talked about."

Helian Yu: "..."

Fourth brother seems to have some serious illness.

Helian Yu raised his foot and stepped on Chang'an's calf. The spotless shoes looked particularly exquisite and noble, and there was not a trace of dust on Chang'an's robe.

"You go with Zhuo Liu, and talk to Fourth Brother about exchanging the silver. I'll take you and Xingchun to Shangyang Tower for dinner later!"

"Chang An understands."

Zhuo Liu didn't quite understand, but when he heard about silver, he had a guess in his mind that...his Highness was going to be cheated.

However, this is not the first time, and His Highness should be quite happy about it.

Zhuo Liu brought Chang An over, and the two of them lowered their heads and walked around behind, not attracting much attention.

But to those who were keeping an eye on Helian Yu, their actions were very noticeable.

For example, falling into Shuang'er's eyes.

"Queen Mother, look at Princess Zhaoyang. The servants around her are too ignorant of etiquette. They walk around casually at the banquet without paying any attention to you. The servants are ignorant and the master is largely responsible. Princess Zhaoyang must have done it on purpose."

Queen Mother Chu's face seemed to be slapped. She said slowly: "I am ignorant, is it the master's fault?"

Shuang'er nodded: "Shuang'er thinks so."

Queen Mother Chu glanced at Shuang'er from the corner of her eye and said, "You are questioning Princess Zhaoyang. In the end, it is also my fault, right?"

Shuang'er's face turned pale, and she knelt down hurriedly: "Shuang'er is ignorant, Shuang'er is overstepping his authority, and this has nothing to do with the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother of Chu didn't intend to do anything to her, but she wasn't too concerned about her either. As long as she could live a decent life, that was enough.

Queen Mother Chu asked Lu Wu to take Shuang'er away and not to cause any more trouble.

The banquet was halfway through, and Helian Yu was full and sleepy.

"Brother Prince, can I leave because of a stomachache?"

Prince: “…Okay.”

Now that he had an excuse, wouldn't it be easy to leave? Helian Yu left the table, and with a very lame excuse.

Princess Zhaoyang's departure did not have much impact, but Queen Mother Chu always felt something was wrong and sent someone to follow her.

When he came back to report, the man held a small and exquisite purse and said, "Queen Mother, this is the gift Princess Zhaoyang gave you when you returned to the palace. She said it was to honor you."

Queen Mother Chu: “…”

Use her money to honor her? When they arrived at the Imperial Master's Mansion, it was the Wushuang Garden where Chang Zuo carried Helian Yu back.

When passing by the main courtyard, Xie Rangchen happened to pass by, happened to notice Helian Yu, and then happened to hand her a small blanket and put it on her.

He said, “I just happened to be passing by.”

Then, he left lightly.

Chang Zuo said nothing. He sent Helian Yu to Wushuang Garden and then went to the main courtyard to look for Xie Rangchen.

"Sir, the list has been handed over to His Majesty."

"Yes. Ask the kitchen to cook a bowl of peach blossom soup and bring it to her when she wakes up."

"clear."

The night is dark and the crescent moon is bright.

Helian Yu woke up after a good sleep. It was already late, so he picked up his pen and wrote.

[Now I have more than 80,000 points, I can exchange for many things, but what should I exchange for?] [The price of cannons has dropped! 500 points each!] [I will buy another one and send it to the third brother later. The third brother is a general, so of course he needs a cannon. In the future, the third brother and the fourth brother can fight each other and fire cannons at each other, biubiubiu~] [What should I buy for the master? The master likes to wash clothes so much, buy him a nice washboard! I am very good to the master~]
