"Hello, eleventh brother."

"Hello, Sister Rongyue."

Ye Lanyi has a childish face and looks like a child. However, children of the royal family have to act mature even if they are young. He is a typical example.

"The twelfth prince Ye Lanxun."

"Hello, twelfth brother."

Ye Lanxun is very likable, with a pair of smiling eyes, and looks very cute.

"Hello, Sister Rongyue. Sister Rongyue is so beautiful."

"This little mouth is sweet."

Hua Xin really couldn't help laughing this time.

This smile made people around him gasp, it was really too dazzling.

Ye Lansheng, who was not far away, wished he could hide such a shining Hua Xin.

"The Thirteenth Prince Ye Lanhao."

"Hello, Thirteenth Brother."

"Hello, Sister Rongyue."

Ye Lanhao, who was only five years old, was not stage-shy. Accompanied by his nanny, he greeted Hua Xin and smiled after he finished speaking.

The ones behind were really little brats. Hua Xin also thought they were cute, but after recognizing them all, Hua Xin felt hungry.

Finally, Ye Qingyao gave a message and said that the meal was ready.

Hua Xin started eating without saying anything.

There were her favorite shrimps, roast chicken, and mushroom soup.

Too bad, it’s a bit cold now.

However, Hua Xin also knew that this kind of palace banquet was just for the atmosphere. If one really wanted to eat well, one would have to order something special.

Soon a group of dancers in colorful feathered clothes appeared on the stage. There were five one-meter-wide drums on the huge central stage, and soon they began to dance on the drums.

There was dancing to watch and musicians playing music on the side, and the scene suddenly became lively.

Hua Xin suddenly felt a sense of peace and prosperity. It turned out that this was what it was like to attend the New Year’s Eve palace banquet for the first time.

It’s a pity about the dishes. It would be better if there was hot pot, at least we wouldn’t have to eat cold dishes.

Hua Xin came up with a plan when she thought of this. Hotpot. There was no hotpot in Daxia. She could spread the word!

At least she won’t have to eat cold dishes on New Year’s Eve next year.

Ye Lansheng, who had been paying attention to Hua Xin, saw that she was sometimes dazed, sometimes smiling, and sometimes frowning. No one had as many expressions as her.

But she doesn't know how attractive she is.

Ye Lanhui's voice was neither loud nor soft, but it was just loud enough for everyone present to hear.

"I heard that Sister Rong Yue survived a great disaster and will have good fortune in the future. I wonder if there are any programs prepared for the New Year's Eve palace banquet to entertain father! After all, you are the only princess!"

Hua Xin was eating beef, and something got stuck in her teeth. She couldn't answer the other person's question for a moment.

"Sister Rongyue looks like you're not prepared. They say a daughter is a father's warm and cozy little cotton-padded jacket. Is your cotton-padded jacket leaking air?"

Hua Xin covered her face with her sleeves and finally got the beef out of her teeth. She then put down her sleeves and said, "I didn't know my eldest brother had such a temper. Concubine Yu is a good talker, but I didn't expect my eldest brother to be no less eloquent. It looks like your house is definitely bustling."

These words made everyone present burst into laughter, except Ye Lanhui, whose face turned pale. He was trying hard to suppress his anger but couldn't get angry.

As a mother, Concubine Yu had no reason not to protect her son when he was bullied.

"Did Rong Yue mention me just now? I've been in the harem all year round, how did Rong Yue know that I'm a good talker?"

"Isn't this proof, Imperial Concubine Yu? How eloquent and good at talking! I can't wait to see you even a ten-thousandth of the time!"

Hua Xin did not forget to toast Concubine Yu after she finished speaking: "I'll use tea instead of wine to toast Concubine Yu a happy new year."

It is said that one should not hit a smiling person, so Concubine Yu could only take a sip of wine symbolically.

This little episode was soon replaced by what happened next.

Who could have thought that there would be an assassin at the palace banquet on New Year's Eve!

When the assassin's dagger was about to stab Ye Qingyao, the Blood Dragon Guard appeared, blocked the dagger with a sword, then pierced the man's arm through, and used his other hand to cut off his jaw to prevent him from committing suicide by taking poison.

Therefore, the New Year's Eve palace banquet was interrupted, and everyone went back to their homes and looked for their mothers.

However, Hua Xin and Hua Yuxing did not leave, nor did Ye Lansheng. Except for a few younger ones, the other princes also did not leave.

The assassin disguised himself as a dancer and infiltrated the group. There must be someone behind this, and what followed was a series of interrogations and investigations.

Fortunately, Ye Qingyao had Hua Xin's care, so he wasn't as weak in the past few months. But he was quite scared.

"I didn't expect that after all these peaceful years, an assassin would suddenly appear this year."

In Taiji Palace, Ye Qingyao was still in shock. This was the closest he had ever been to an assassin.

"Father, do you still feel uncomfortable?"

Hua Xin gave Ye Qingyao an acupuncture injection.

"I'm not upset anymore. Xinxin is really amazing! It's just that I'm old and I was actually scared. Alas, such a terrible thing happened at the New Year's Eve palace banquet. Will it have a bad impact on our country's destiny next year?"

Seeing that Ye Qingyao was talking about the fate of the country, Hua Xin hurriedly comforted him, "Father, you are worrying too much. Our Great Xia's fate is prosperous, how can it be bad? They deliberately chose this time to assassinate us in order to confuse us. We must not let them succeed."

"Xinxin is right. We can't let them succeed."

Ye Qingyao thought that everyone had not eaten well just now and probably were not in the mood to eat now, so he just told Li Ruhai to ask the imperial kitchen to prepare food in case of emergency.

The Blood Dragon Guards were very efficient and soon someone came to report.

When Ye Qingyao learned that the other party was from Beirong, he was not surprised at all.

"General Hua hasn't returned yet, and their people have already extended their claws into the palace. It seems that taking three cities from them was too little. We should just destroy them directly!"

When Hua Xin heard Ye Qingyao mention Hua Moxuan, she was also wondering, it was okay that he didn't come back for the New Year, but why didn't he send a letter?

"Father, has my brother sent any message back?"

Hua Xin thought so and asked.

Ye Qingyao thought for a moment and said, "Not recently. The last time he sent a message was half a month ago. He said he had discovered the person behind the scenes and wanted to take advantage of the situation to pursue him. If there is any new progress, he will send a message back."

After hearing this, Hua Xin didn't say anything more.

"It's late tonight, why don't you just stay in the Glazed Palace! Just treat it as a New Year's Eve, and let your father stay with you! There are many accommodations in the palace, so you won't be short of places to stay."

"Then I still want to stay up all night with Daddy, so why not stay in Taiji Palace? There are many side halls here, is there no place to sleep? Or I can stay up until dawn and go back to sleep tomorrow."

Ye Qingyao really wanted to say that this was against the rules, but who was Hua Xin?

He only has this adopted daughter, who else can he pamper if not her?

"Okay, I agree. Huachen, don't go back, let's stay up together!"

Ye Qingyao looked at Hua Yuxing.

Hua Yuxing nodded. How could he say anything to refuse?
