The useless second daughter of the Hua family

It is magnificent, with bright lights, melodious music and dancing figures.

The fall of Prime Minister Liu was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the royalist faction. The emperor held a grand banquet in an attempt to rally the low morale.

During the banquet, there were those who were ambitious and wanted to replace Prime Minister Liu, there were also those who had just entered the court and were constantly humble and courteous to the officials around them, and some who did not want to join in the dispute sat quietly at the table to protect themselves.

The regent sat in a loft separated by a beaded curtain on the left side of the venue, watching everything with a cold eye. It was not that he did not know the emperor's intention, but he did not take it to heart.

He glanced at everyone sarcastically, and finally stopped his gaze on Hua Miaomiao.

Hua Miaomiao was sitting next to Miao Yizhu at the moment. She was not affected by the surrounding environment at all, and her eyes were only focused on the food on the table in front of her, eating happily.

How lovely! He couldn't help but smile lovingly.

In a flash, he fell into deep thought again. Hua Miaomiao still refused to call him father, and had no intention of revealing Wu's whereabouts. What should he do to reunite their family as soon as possible?

Fortunately, the Regent was usually domineering and at this moment in a high position, so no one noticed his ever-changing expression, except Lin Wei who was standing next to him.

Since the incident at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Princess Linglan asked to be confined to the Princess' Mansion, and she has been living with Qingdeng ever since. She didn't want to see the old man again, so she sent Lin Wei back to the Regent's Mansion.

"Lin Wei, pay attention to Miaomiao's preferences and see what she eats. When you go back, ask the chef in the mansion to make more arrangements."

"..."

Lin Wei took the order and tried to remember Hua Miaomiao's likes and dislikes. Fortunately, this young lady was not picky about food and would eat almost anything except the flowers used for decoration.

Hua Miaomiao had already noticed the gazes resting on her, and she knew that the person behind the bead curtain was observing her.

These days, the Regent has been very kind to her, and she can feel that he really wants to repair this father-daughter relationship. Unfortunately, she is not Hua Niaoniao, and cannot forgive or accept anything for her.

Besides, my aunt and father have suffered for so many years and finally achieved their goal. How can we allow someone to destroy it?

"What are you thinking about?"

After Miao Yizhui finished entertaining the officials who came to toast him, he turned around and saw Hua Miaomiao frowning, and the fish on the plate was almost broken into pieces by her.

Hua Miaomiao came back to her senses. She looked at the meat scraps on the plate and her face flushed slightly.

Miao Yizhui looked up at the bead curtain as if she sensed something and shook her head helplessly. She ordered someone to change Hua Miaomiao's plate and serve her some refreshing side dishes.

"Enjoy your meal without worrying about anything. I'll take care of everything."

Hua Miaomiao felt warm in her heart. She knew that Miao Yizhuo's power was no match for the Regent, but she was still moved by her promise.

She put away her frustration and patted Miao Yizhuo's shoulder seriously for once.

"Don't worry. I'm your elder sister after all. I can't let my younger sister worry about everything."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he raised his head, he met a sharp gaze.

The emperor, who had a fair complexion and was dressed in bright yellow clothes, had a pair of cold eyes like sharp arrows, shooting straight at Hua Miaomiao's hand on Miao Yizhuo's shoulder.

Tsk tsk! Such terrible possessiveness!

Hua Miaomiao curled her lips and withdrew her hand awkwardly.

Miao Yizhu turned around suddenly, and the emperor had no time to retract his sharp gaze, and was caught red-handed. He did not hide it, and just looked at her from afar across the crowd.

There were beauties all around him in the palace, some were as gentle and delicate as lotus flowers emerging from water, some were as proud and dazzling as blooming peonies, but what he wanted was a Gesang flower on the grassland.

When he was young, he had imagined countless times the beauty of being in harmony with her, but he also knew how much she loved freedom and how proud and decisive she was.

He tilted his head, shrugged his shoulders, and curled his lips, revealing a faint bitter smile. Falling in love with such a person was asking for trouble.

Miao Yizhui was surprised by the despair that flashed across his face for a moment, although it was only fleeting.

Actually, tonight was a farewell party for her. Except for the emperor, no one knew she was leaving. After the dinner, she was going to leave. Because she wanted to take Hua Miaomiao with her, and was afraid that the regent would not let her go, they discussed and decided to separate from the main group and leave quietly before dawn.

Take care! Miao Yizhu moved his mouth and said the two words silently.

The emperor nodded at her.

Then the two of them looked away in tacit agreement. Miao Yizhu continued to eat, but there was a hint of loneliness in his eyes.

Seeing this, Hua Miaomiao could only look at her with regret, then lowered her head silently and ate the "mountain of vegetables" that Miao Yizhui had added for her.

By the time the regent received the news, Hua Miaomiao and her group had been out of the city for a long time. He was a little annoyed that his daughter was unfamiliar with him, but he didn't know how to keep her. He had countless ways to make his opponents tremble, but facing Hua Miaomiao, he really felt powerless. Because he was afraid that history would repeat itself again.

"My Lord, do you want to chase me?"

"No. Lin Wei, you go and follow her. You must protect her well. If...if there is any news about Miaomiao's mother, send a message back immediately."

"Yes!"

Lin Wei took the order and left, riding away in a cloud of dust.

Along the way, there are green grass, birds singing, flowers blooming, and even the air is so fresh that it makes people feel happy.

Hua Miaomiao was originally in a relaxed and happy mood.

but……

"Have you two changed your profession to highway robbery?"

Hua Miaomiao looked at Lin Wei and Mr. Zhu waiting on the roadside, and her originally relaxed mood suddenly became gloomy.

Lin Wei said nothing, but bowed. Needless to say, he must have been sent by the Regent.

But what is Mr. Zhu here for?

Feeling Hua Miaomiao's inquiring gaze, Mr. Zhu walked up to her calmly and shook the bright yellow scroll in his hand.

"Your Majesty ordered me to follow the army. I am here to follow General Miao."

Well, that made sense. Unless he had known about it long ago, how could a weak scholar like him get ahead of them?

"Didn't the emperor regard you as a love rival before? He even sent out the Imperial Guards to watch over you. Is he relieved now?"

"Cousin!" Miao Yizhui looked embarrassed and gave Mr. Zhu an apologetic smile.

Mr. Zhu waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Your Majesty is wise, and he must have his own considerations. Besides, I already have someone I like, so Your Majesty can rest assured."

Hua Miaomiao became curious when she heard the words. She had half a foot on the carriage, but she abruptly took it back.

Miao Yizhu held her forehead and decided not to let her continue to make trouble. She quietly winked at Xiaoyu, and the two of them carried her back to the carriage, one on each side.

The team grew bigger and everyone got ready to set off again.

Back in the carriage, Hua Miaomiao no longer had the playful look she had just had.

"What's wrong with you?" Miao Yizhui saw her expression change and thought she was unwell, and a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes.

Hua Miaomiao shook her head at her, then raised her hand to cast a barrier, and then said, "Be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall."

Miao Yizhui understood and was surprised at Hua Miaomiao's progress in cultivation.

"Don't be envious. If you want to learn, I can teach you. I will teach you everything I know."

Miao Yizhui was speechless. He could never be serious for more than three seconds.

Seeing that the two people in the car had serious faces and had no intention of responding, Hua Miaomiao also put her thoughts aside, and the three of them began to seriously analyze the current situation.

The two people outside the carriage obviously came with a purpose.

It is true that the Regent King sent Lin Wei to protect Hua Miaomiao, but he also had the intention of monitoring her. He did not give up and wanted to find out the whereabouts of Wu. In order not to bring trouble to the Hua family, Hua Miaomiao had to temporarily give up the idea of ​​returning to Wanzhou. She decided to follow Miao Yizhu first and go wherever they go.

On the contrary, she was a little unpredictable about the other person. The position of Mr. Zhu and the person behind him was unclear. Thinking of the white figure she saw in the Regent's Mansion that night, and how the Regent seemed to trust him very much, she almost thought that the Imperial Master was the Regent's man. But if that was true, with the emperor's attention to Yizhu, would he send someone he couldn't trust to follow Miao Yizhu?

After listening to Hua Miaomiao's analysis, Miao Yizhui shook his head in disapproval.

"I think you've got yourself into a trap. Why do you think he wouldn't do that? Wouldn't it be a good idea to put an uncertain person next to me and monitor him closely?"

"Will he?"

Hua Miaomiao looked at Miao Yizhu uncertainly. She admitted that she had never had such an idea.

Seeing that she seemed to be quite shocked, Miao Yizhui gently embraced her and rested his head on her shoulder.

"Sometimes, liking someone isn't necessarily that pure."

Not everyone is like Ge Qinglan, you are really lucky. Miao Yizhu added silently in his heart.
