Lu Zifeng was thinking about whether he could call his young fiancée out later so that they could have some fun under the moonlight, when he heard his uncle say something.
"What are you daydreaming about, kid? The Emperor is calling you!"
Lu Zifeng came back to his senses and looked towards the emperor. Seeing the teasing smiles on the emperor and the queen's faces, he felt embarrassed and a little ashamed.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was just thinking about something."
Situ Yong said teasingly with a smile on his face.
"Oh, what are you thinking about? Tell me, what good news made you laugh unconsciously?"
As soon as the emperor said this, the whole palace burst into laughter.
Lu Zifeng smiled helplessly.
"Your Majesty, I just saw my fiancée and was thinking of some collections I could give to her."
Situ Yong said, "That's fine. I thought you were thinking of something good. So it's this! Okay, sit down and let's enjoy the singing and dancing."
Lu Zifeng then sat down, but many officials in the hall were wondering which girl was the future daughter-in-law of the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion?
Prince Zhong and his wife were speechless when they heard Lu Zifeng's shameless words. Princess Zhong was okay, as Lu Zifeng thought to himself that his daughter was fine. But Prince Zhong was a little depressed: this kid is really deceiving his daughter all the time. Look at his daughter's face now, her face is shy and full of happiness, which he finds very irritating.
After Lu Zifeng sat down, he stopped looking around. After thinking for a while, he felt that the hall was a bit stuffy, so he winked at Lu Ziyan, and the two brothers quietly left the hall.
"Oh, it's still more comfortable outside. It's too stuffy in the palace. I don't know why this palace banquet is held. It's better to stay at home!"
Lu Zifeng scolded lightly.
"Shut up. You'd better watch your mouth in the palace."
Lu Ziyan curled his lips.
"Isn't there no one here? It's okay to say a few words!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Zifeng kicked him on the butt, kicking him more than ten feet away and causing him to fall to the ground with a thud.
"Hahahaha, how did Lu Ziyan make your eldest brother angry? Is it necessary to punish you like this?"
Lu Zifeng used his mental power to see Crown Prince Situ Jin and Prince of Qin Situ Li approaching, and then he kicked Lu Ziyan directly.
Lu Ziyan was a little angry when he was kicked out by his elder brother, but when he heard that the prince and the King of Qin were coming, he knew why his elder brother kicked him.
She stood up with a blushing face and patted the dust off her body.
"Alas, I said the wrong thing, it's only right that Big Brother punish me."
Situ Jin walked up to Lu Ziyan with a smile and patted him on the shoulder. "Your elder brother was right to punish you. You are such a jerk. Don't say what you just said again. Your cousin, the King of Qin, and I heard it this time. We are all family and know who you are, so we won't take it to heart. But if outsiders hear something you shouldn't say, that would be bad, understand?"
Lu Zifeng bowed to the prince.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for not taking this boy's slip of the tongue seriously."
King Qin Situ Li laughed.
"Alright, you're just being polite. We're brothers, so there's no need to bother with that."
As they were talking, Situ Hao and Situ Yi also came out, and Lu Zifeng said with a smile.
"Why are you all out now? You're not staying in the palace with the Emperor anymore."
As he was speaking, he heard Lu Zifeng say.
“It’s snowing.”
Everyone then looked up at the sky. Because it was already the middle of the Xu hour, which is around 8:00 PM in modern times, the sky had already darkened and it was difficult to see clearly. However, everyone could feel the snowflakes falling on their faces.
"Well, it's snowing, and it's getting colder. Let's go inside! We don't want to catch a cold. That's what they call excessive joy leading to sorrow."
Everyone returned to the hall and returned to their respective seats.
The dance in the center of the hall had changed, but Lu Zifeng had no hobby in this area, so he didn't stare at it. Instead, he chose to lower his head and eat some fruit.
Lu Zifeng was looking down while picking fruits when he suddenly felt a flash of light in front of his eyes. He frowned and didn't pay attention at first, but then he felt something was wrong. He looked up in the direction where the light was reflected, but he only saw the outside of the hall, but it was pitch black outside and he couldn't see anything.
Lu Zifeng used his mental power to look outside, and then he saw clearly that no less than a few hundred people were surrounding the hall with swords in their hands.
Lu Zifeng's heart tightened. Someone was trying to rebel! They were coming to force the emperor to abdicate. He quickly glanced at the princes sitting around the emperor, but found nothing unusual. He had no choice but to stand up and walk towards Lu Ziyan.
Lu Ziyan was still enjoying the singing and dancing when Lu Zifeng patted him on the shoulder. He was a little angry at first, but when he saw his brother's serious expression, he didn't dare to say anything.
"Brother, what's the matter?"
Lu Zifeng leaned over and whispered in Lu Ziyan's ear.
"You must go to the emperor's side immediately and protect the safety of the emperor and the empress."
Lu Ziyan immediately opened his eyes wide and looked at Lu Zifeng in surprise. Seeing that his elder brother did not seem to be joking, he nodded.
"I understand. I'll go right away."
As he said this, he stood up and walked towards the position of Crown Prince Situ Jin with a glass of wine.
Lu Zifeng thought about what he had done and remembered that he had seen Nan Shaoqing tonight, so he walked up to Nan Shaoqing again and patted him on the shoulder.
Nan Shaoqing saw Lu Zifeng coming to find him and said with a smile.
"Brother Feng, you are here, please sit down."
As he said this, he gave up his seat. Lu Zifeng was not polite and joked with him for a while before leaning close to his ear and whispering.
"Something might happen soon. Don't be afraid. Just protect your family and the Emperor."
Nan Shaoqing was a descendant of an aristocratic family after all, and was much calmer than Lu Ziyan in this regard. Although he was also surprised at how Lu Zifeng knew this, he did not ask any more questions but nodded.
"Brother Feng, don't worry! I understand."
After returning to his seat, Lu Zifeng was actually a little worried that things would get out of control. The people he saw in his mental power were no less than three hundred, but he didn't know which prince wanted to rebel. Now he could only wait and see. Otherwise, if he missed this opportunity, he didn't know when he would be able to find them again.
Although Situ Jin was puzzled by Lu Ziyan's sudden arrival, he didn't think much about it. He thought Lu Ziyan wanted to come here to sit and chat with him.
But since Lu Ziyan sat here, he has been watching the dance, but has not chatted with him. At this time, he looked at Lu Zifeng again and saw him go to find Nan Shaoqing. His heart sank. He lowered his head and glanced at the brothers below him. He found that everything was normal with them. However, as a crown prince, the abnormality of Lu Zifeng and his brother made him feel something was wrong.
