"The housekeeper said that a batch of fresh side dishes have been sent to Zhuangzi." Banhua walked into the room and found that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the room. The prince's subordinates looked unhappy but did not dare to break out, and the prince looked a little lonely. , some forced smiles, only Rong Xia looked as usual, sitting elegantly next to him drinking tea.

She walked to Rong Xia and sat down, pretending not to notice the conflict between Rong Xia and these people, "Brother Prince, we haven't sat together and talked for a long time. You will stay and have dinner together today. Your Excellency is..."

"The lower official is Zhan Shifu..."

"Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Zhan Shifu," Banhua interrupted the official with an unhappy expression, covered his mouth and chuckled, and touched Feng Feichai on his temples with his other hand, nonchalantly. He said, "Seeing the look on your face now, I always think of some nuns in the palace who teach you the rules. Back then, there was a nun who taught me the rules around a beloved concubine. I was stubborn, young and ignorant, so I went with him. The empress argued for a few words. I haven’t seen this empress in these years and I don’t know how she is doing now.”

The prince's subordinate officer looked a little unhappy. He suppressed his dissatisfaction: "I wonder who this empress is?"

"She seems to be called Song Guibi or Song Zhaoyi," Banhua put her hands on the hand warmer and raised her eyebrows, "It's been a long time, and I almost forgot her name."

Song Zhaoyi...

The prince's official's expression changed. He remembered clearly that Song Zhaoyi, who was quite favored five years ago, was rejected by his majesty because he offended a certain nobleman. From then on, there was no such person in the palace. Princess Fule mentioned this empress because she thought his face was not good-looking and affected her mood?

Could it be that the noble person Song Zhaoyi offended was Princess Fule, who was still the village monarch back then?

On a very cold day, the prince's official felt as if a piece of ice had slipped into his throat, and his teeth were so cold that they could not help but chatter. He turned to look at the prince. Seeing that the prince was not dissatisfied with Princess Fule at all, he calmed down his expression. He couldn't afford to offend Princess Fule. If he got whipped a few times, it would probably be in vain. Suffered.

The dinner was sumptuously prepared, and every dish was delicious, tasty and delicious. The Rong family is a big family that has been passed down for two or three dynasties. The Ban family has always had a strong appetite for food, so the ancestors of the two families have accumulated a lot of recipes. Now that the descendants of the two families are getting married, there are even more dishes on the table. .

The prince and Rong Xia have dined at the same table several times. When he came here before, the Rong family's meals were elegant and healthy, but today it is different from the past.

He glanced at Banhua, who was sitting next to Rong Xia, and his heart suddenly felt like a mirror.

The Crown Prince's subordinates were sitting at the bottom, looking at the food on the table, they just felt distressed. Princess Fule was too extravagant to eat such exquisite food. It's a pity that Rong Xia, a gentle and elegant young man like the moon, is so obsessed with women that he allows her to be so particular.

Sigh, sigh.

However, these dishes tasted really good, and he couldn't help but eat a lot more than usual.

After dinner, after washing hands and gargling, the prince said to Rong Xia: "I know that what happened today is a bit difficult, but I hope that the Marquis can understand my difficulty."

"Your Highness, since ancient times there has been a dilemma between loyalty and justice," Rong Xia said solemnly, "I thought you understood this truth."

The prince sighed silently, "Although I understand, I can't bear it after all."

Rong Xia chuckled, which seemed a bit ironic.

"Since the prince has said so, I am sorry that there is nothing I can do."

The prince felt a burning pain on his face. He turned to look at Banhua. She was playing with the jade bracelet on her wrist with her head lowered. She seemed not to be interested in the content of their chat at all. The prince's subordinates couldn't bear the prince to be in such trouble, so he said, "Your Highness, it's getting late, you should go back to the palace."

The prince suddenly came to his senses and said to Rong Xia and Banhua: "Cousin, cousin-in-law, it's time for me to go back and say goodbye."

Rong Xia and Ban Hua took the prince to the gate of the Rong family. It was not until the prince got on the carriage that the couple turned back to the main courtyard.

"Why did the prince come to you?"

"He wants me to return to the DPRK."

Ban Hua frowned: "Now the government is in chaos and there are many parties. Last time you were scolded by His Majesty for no reason. Who wants to touch this kind of mess? What's more..." She paused, "More Besides, Prince Ning is not the material to be the emperor, so just let them go and ignore it."

"I thought Huahua would ask me to help the prince," Rong Xia looked at Banhua in surprise, "So that's what you thought."

"It's useless for me to think about it," Banhua shook his head. "My grandfather and grandmother once told me that everything in the world must decline when it reaches its peak, and everything in the world will thrive when it reaches its peak. Now that the court has become like this, even if you go It won't change much, I hope you are safe."

A few years later, when the new emperor succeeds to the throne, he will not be involved in the house confiscation storm.

"Grandpa and grandma are right," Rong Xia smiled, "When things turn from bad times to good times, there will always be a turn for the better in this world."

Early on the next morning, Banhua received an invitation from the East Palace. The Crown Princess invited the noble women to come to the East Palace to taste tea. Banhua had a distinguished status, so she was naturally invited.

She took the invitation and looked over it several times. The more she looked at it, the more she felt that the invitation seemed to have been written by the Crown Princess herself. Although she had no attainments in calligraphy, she still recognized the Crown Princess's private seal at the bottom of the invitation.

"Princess, the relationship between the Crown Princess and us has not been very good, why don't we go," Ruyi looked at the invitation in Banhua's hand worriedly, "I am worried that she will deliberately embarrass you."

"How can you not go?" Banhua threw the invitation back on the table, "This is the first invitation I received after I got married. Not only do I want to go, but I also want to go in a beautiful way. As for As for the Crown Princess, she doesn’t dare to do anything to me.”

Given Shi's current situation, unless she is mentally abnormal, she will never do anything that would displease her.

What's more, she already knew that Shi Feixian was not the murderer behind the assassination of her father, so she was willing to give face to the princess, or rather to the prince. Anyway, she had a restless character.

To this day, she still doesn’t know who the real murderer is, but this matter involves a court battle, which is no longer something she can easily investigate. But she was unwilling to give in. She always felt that unless this matter was investigated clearly, she would not feel at ease. Who knows where the mastermind behind the scenes is hiding, and whether he will plot against the Ban family again?

She was vaguely aware that Emperor Yun Qing was involved in this matter, so she was so cowardly. His Majesty wanted to use the assassination of her father to suppress the Shi family. The truth was not important to him. He even wanted the Ban family to believe that it was the truth.

"Princess, Princess?"

Banhua looked back, and she saw Ruyi: "Take out the palace dress made of haze, I will wear that into the palace tomorrow."

"Would it look... a little more gorgeous?" If you have ever seen the haze-forged palace dress, it is said that the Marquis had it started before the princess even entered the house, and it was only completed in the past two days. , the whole dress is as beautiful as fairy clothes, flawless.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that a man as elegant as the Marquis would prepare such gorgeous clothes for the princess. She thought that because of his temperament, the Marquis would like what the princess wore. Be more elegant and elegant, rather than those clothes that are so gorgeous that people can't take their eyes away.

"It's good to be gorgeous," Banhua looked at her face in the mirror, "I feel great when I see how they want to scold me and want to be jealous of me, but they have to endure it."

Ruyi heard the words and laughed softly: "Do you still remember the gossip they said?"

"I'm not a saint. Of course I have to remember when others gossip about me." Banhua put lipstick on her lips and pursed her lips. "Why do women live so generously? That's forgiveness. I have wronged others and wronged myself."

Ruyi nodded and said: "The princess is right."

Everything their princess says is right.

In the palace, the residence of Prince Ning.

"Princess," the palace maid held up a mirror in front of Xie Wanyu, "do you think this is okay?"

Xie Wanyu nodded. The rouge covered her somewhat pale face just right, and the lipstick made her lips look red and shiny. Makeup is probably the most magical thing in the world, but it can bury all the tiredness and emotions of a woman, and no one can know the thoughts in her heart except herself.

"Is the time coming soon?" She blinked to make her eyes look brighter.

"Yes."

"Then let's go."

It was a bit cold in the early spring. Xie Wanyu wore a fox fur cloak. Along the way, many palace maids and eunuchs saluted her. These scenes that she had enjoyed so much before now made her unable to raise any emotions. She is just a poor person with a higher status than these palace maids and eunuchs. How can she be complacent about receiving the courtesy from these people?

As soon as she walked outside the East Palace Gate, she heard voices not far behind her, and they were very lively. She stopped and looked back behind her.

Ban Hua was surrounded by several palace maids and eunuchs who were courting her. Some praised her for her good looks and others for her beautiful clothes. She was happy and rewarded them with a handful of golden melon seeds. When she saw this person standing in front of her, she I couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Xie Wanyu?

Noticing that Xie Wanyu's face looked a little heavy with makeup, Banhua did not continue walking forward.

The two people's eyes met in the air. What shocked Banhua was that Xie Wanyu nodded to her, then turned around and entered the gate of the East Palace.

When did Xie Wanyu become so easy to get along with? Banhua felt like he was completely shocked.

Thanks to Ban Hua, the palace maids and eunuchs were more attentive last time. They welcomed Ban Hua into the East Palace, gave Ban Hua a grand ceremony, and then hurriedly left.

"Mrs. Cheng'anhou hasn't come yet?" I thought the uncle's wife looked around and said to the female family members beside her, "I'm still anxious to see this newlywed bride."

"Mrs. Cheng'an Hou," the female family member's voice was a little thin, and her laughter sounded sarcastic, "Princess Fule's title is higher than that of Cheng'an Hou, we should call Cheng'an Hou County Ma ."

As for the issue of titles, I have always been humble and respectful, but the pairing of Marquis Cheng'an and Princess Fule is a bit embarrassing.

If Marquis Cheng'an is called a county horse, his title is not low. Although he has not returned to the court yet, the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is still hanging on his head, not to mention that he may be the illegitimate son of His Majesty. . It would be inappropriate to call Princess Fule Madam Hou. In terms of rank, Princess Fule is two levels higher than Marquis Chengan.

Princess Fule married Marquis Chengan, but she married into a lowly family.

"Ladies and sisters, you can call me whatever you want," Banhua walked in with a smile, "You can call me whatever you feel comfortable with. Neither I nor the Marquis care about this."

The female family members turned around and saw Banhua, who was as gorgeous as the fairy concubine on the mural, walking in. They were first stunned by Banhua's gorgeous palace clothes, and then they realized that Princess Fule married Cheng An Aren't you afraid that Hou Cheng'an, a handsome gentleman like him, lives so extravagantly, will despise him?

They were surprised that Marquis Chengan was willing to marry Princess Fule. It was too outrageous for Princess Fule to be so disregardful of Marquis Chengan's thoughts.

If she doesn’t want to live a good life, even if Marquis Chengan is a rare gentleman, how long can he tolerate her?

"I have met the Crown Princess. I came a little late. Please forgive me." Banhua walked up to the Crown Princess and saluted her while everyone was looking at her.

"My family doesn't need to be so polite. Please sit down quickly." The princess smiled and invited Banhua to sit down. "I have nothing to do in the palace, so I just wanted to invite you to talk, drink tea and watch. Let's go to the theater." Then he handed a playbook to Banhua's hand, "Princess, let's see what you want to hear."

Banhua randomly ordered a lively play and returned the playbook to the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess felt reassured when she saw that she did not embarrass herself. She was afraid that Banhua was still thinking about the incident with her second sister and deliberately kept her from coming to power.

The opera had just been performed for a while, and the queen sent someone to bring some fruits and snacks, saying that she was not feeling well and could not join in the fun, so that everyone could have a good time.

The Queen's move gave the Crown Princess a lot of face. The female relatives all praised the Queen for feeling sorry for the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. It made the Crown Princess smile again and again, and she even spent two pieces of the snacks she didn't like.

After drinking too much tea, the female relatives got up and went to the back to change clothes. When Banhua went to the back, she found Xie Wanyu following her.

As a princess, Xie Wanyu only brought one maid with her. This maid was served by Xie Wanyu in the boudoir.

"Banhua," Xie Wanyu suddenly pushed her as she passed by, "What's wrong with you? Can you walk?"

"What are you doing?" Ruyi stretched out her hand to support Banhua and glared at Xie Wanyu, "Princess, please respect yourself."

Xie Wanyu glanced at Banhua, snorted, turned around and left.

"She...she..." Ruyi cursed angrily, "She has a brain disease!"

Banhua looked up at the direction Xie Wanyu left, turned around and looked around, and found two inconspicuous eunuchs standing beside the rockery in the distance.

"It's okay." Banhua led Ruyi into the inner hall and opened a note in his hand.

Ruyi looked at the note in Banhua's hand in shock, glanced around quickly, and then opened a window next to her as if nothing had happened, as if she just wanted to open the window to get some air, but her body happened to cover Banhua. .

King Ning intends to kill people, so be careful.

Banhua looked at the words on the note, then tore the note into pieces and put it into a sachet that he carried with him.

She does not have a good relationship with Xie Wanyu. Why would Xie Wanyu remind her? Because Jiang Luo hurt her eldest brother, or was Jiang Luo treating her badly?

Didn't Xie Wanyu think about the consequences if she presented this note to His Majesty? She walked to the bronze mirror, supported Feng Chai on her temples, and said to Ruyi, "Go back."

"Yes." Ruyi did not ask Banhua what was written on the note, but she knew in her heart that there must be something very important in the note, otherwise the princess would not tear it up carefully broken.

Back in the gathering hall, Banhua saw that Xie Wanyu had already sat back in her seat. When she came in, Xie Wanyu didn't even look at her.

On the contrary, the Crown Princess smiled at her when she saw her coming in.

Shi Shi did not like Banhua from the bottom of her heart. When Banhua led people to the Prime Minister's Mansion and forced them to take the second sister to Dali Temple, the Crown Princess always remembered this tone. What's even more ironic is that the man her sister loved was acquired by Banhua.

Banhua has been married to Rongxia for a little while, but she has a rosy complexion and a high-spirited look. It is obvious that she has lived a good life after getting married, which is why Banhua is so wanton. Also, the palace skirt she was wearing was made of the rare haze. People who didn't know it would just think it was because the Ban family was willing to dowry it. Only she knew in her heart that this skirt was not prepared by the Ban family for Ban Hua.

She remembers very clearly that there are very few Yanxia Forgings in the whole industry. Even if there are, they can only be used to make a shawl or handkerchief. Making a skirt is too extravagant, let alone such a good thing. Even if you want to be extravagant, it is difficult to buy.

It is said that the workmanship of haze forging is extremely complicated, and the color of the cloth will not be lost even if it is left for a long time. Even if it is left for a hundred years, it will still be as beautiful as clouds. However, Zhi Niang, who knew this craft, has died of illness. She has no descendants or apprentices, and the craft has been lost.

So even if anyone wants to forge a skirt from Yanxia, ​​they can't.

She heard someone say that when His Majesty ascended the throne, he specially rewarded the old Marquis Cheng'an with a piece of haze. However, because Mrs. Lin of Cheng'anhou didn't like gorgeous things, the haze never appeared in Cheng'anhou's mansion again. Pass. Unexpectedly, after more than twenty years, this haze forging would be used on Banhua.

Cheng'anhou was very willing to give up on Banhua.

While having lunch, a lady finally couldn't hold it back and said to Banhua: "Princess, the palace skirt you are wearing is so beautiful. I don't know what material it is made of and which embroiderer embroidered it by." Work?"

"I'm not sure about that," Banhua said with a helpless smile, "When I choose clothes to wear, I don't care what material it is made of or what kind of embroidery it is. I just put it on when I see it looks beautiful."

The lady laughed dryly and said: "This dress really complements your beauty, Princess."

Banhua smiled and actually accepted the compliment.

The other ladies couldn't help but take a few more glances at Banhua's palace attire. It was indeed beautiful. The person was beautiful and the clothes were beautiful. She was so beautiful that all the female relatives were embarrassed to feel jealous.

"I'm afraid the princess's extravagance is too much." A young female family member said, "Marquis Cheng'an is frugal. If you do this, how will other people view the marquis?"

Ban Hua raised her eyebrows and looked at the female family member who was speaking. Instead of being angry, she smiled and said: "This lady is really interesting. What my commander thinks about it is a matter between my husband and wife. Why do you need to worry about it? What's more, this The palace skirt was originally made for me by the Marquis. He had it made and I wore it. What does this have to do with outsiders?"

After hearing this, the lady's face flushed, and she whispered for a long time: "I misunderstood, why should the princess be so aggressive?"

"You, an irrelevant outsider, are already in charge of what I wear, and you still think I'm aggressive," Banhua sneered, "Whose female family member is this? She doesn't even understand this rule. She looks at her age. You are so young, don’t you even know not to discuss other people’s private matters?”

"Princess Fule, this is the wife of the Imperial Academy, her maiden name is Yang." A lady who wanted to please Banhua whispered, "She also has a sister."

"Yang?" Banhua thought carefully, then shook his head and said, "Not very impressed."

"To talk about it in detail, Cheng'anhou Mansion originally had some connections with her natal family." The smile on the lady's face was a little strange, "The sister of the Imperial College Jiujiu Lady was originally the wife of Cheng'anhou's brother, so After her brother died of illness, Ms. Yang had the fetus in her belly aborted and returned to her parents' home to remarry."

Banhua raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "So that's how it is."

Rong Xia's eldest brother died of illness, and Yang had an abortion and remarried. From a human perspective, it was not a huge mistake. But from a human perspective, it seems too unfeeling. The husband had just died and his body was still cold, so he eagerly aborted the child and returned to his parents' home to remarry. This is indeed chilling.

As a woman, she did not comment on this matter, but she just didn't like the fact that Mr. Yang was now dictating her personal affairs. She glanced at Xiao Yang, and saw that she was so panicked that she didn't know where to place her arms and legs, and she suddenly didn't even think about talking.

If she is so timid, she still has to worry about Rong Xia's reputation. Should she thank this lady for caring about her husband?

With this episode, Banhua stood up and said goodbye to the Crown Princess confidently. The Crown Princess knew her temperament, and she didn't know what would happen if she kept her, so she had no choice but to ask the shameless palace maid next to her to **** her out in person.

After Banhua left, the Crown Princess glanced at Little Yang with a displeased face, and then said casually: "As women, we just need to live our own lives well. If we point fingers at others, it will look bad. Just forget about being unflattering."

Everyone present knew that the Crown Princess was talking about Xiao Yang, but they all pretended not to hear it and stepped forward to agree.

Now that the Crown Prince has recovered, His Majesty’s health does not know when he will recover. Seeing that the great cause will belong to the Crown Prince, who among them dares to offend the Crown Princess?

Little Yang sat aside in embarrassment. After leaving the palace, he hid in the carriage and cried. She felt that she was extremely embarrassed today. Not only was she ridiculed by Princess Fule, but she was also disgusted by the Crown Princess. She didn't understand why the Crown Princess had to speak for Ban Hua even though she had a bad relationship with the Ban family. Shouldn't she be hoping that Ban Hua would be embarrassed?

When Banhua returned to the Hou Mansion, Rong Xia was already waiting for her in the house,

"Huahua is so beautiful today," Rong Xia stood up and held her hand, "Is today's party interesting?"

"What's the point?" Banhua sat in front of the mirror and took off the hairpin and other things. "It's nothing more than comparing husbands and children. Compared with husbands, who among them can compare with me? Compared with children, I don't have any. Children, you can’t even talk to them.”

"Am I that good?" The smile on Rong Xia's face became more obvious.

"In my eyes, you are the best husband." Banhua turned to look at Rong Xia, pulled his collar, made him bend down, and kissed him on the cheek, "Be good."

Amused by her coaxing the child, Rong Xia helped Banhua take out the hairpin from her hair, "If it's not interesting, we won't go next time."

"How can I not go," Ban Hua smiled, "If I don't go, how can I listen to all kinds of gossip."

"By the way," Ban Hua told Rong Xia about the note that Xie Wanyu gave her. She frowned and said, "Last time Jiang Luo failed to assassinate you, Your Majesty saved him. He is not dead now." Heart. How much hatred do you two have? He only wants your life?"

Ban Hua didn't understand Jiang Luo's approach very much. If he wanted to fight for power, was there no other way besides assassination?

Can't you use your brain?

"Qian?" Rong Xia's thumb slid across Banhua's cheek, her eyes calm.
