I am Yuan Niaoniao

Chapter 30: Palace Banquet (Part )

"Did you get it?" Han Haotian picked up a plate of food and placed it in front of Tan Xinhui.

"No, sister, that's strange. They said that you, Brother Haotian, should go there in person." Tan Xinhui lied without changing her expression, and reached out to calmly pick up a piece of food and put it into her mouth.

Hearing this, Han Haotian frowned without saying anything. He glanced at Tan Xinhui, then just drank quietly and looked for an opportunity to leave.

Tan Xinhui's actions just now had already reached Chen Shaoyi's ears. He moved slightly closer to Yuan Niaoniao, handed her the freshly peeled grapes, and told her what had happened.

"In that case, we have to help her, but she won't be fooled so easily." Yuan Niaoniao said softly. She really didn't expect that Tan Xinhui would still take revenge and dare to take action even in the palace.

Chen Shaoyi nodded and stood up and left the hall. Not long after, Han Haotian also quietly stood up and left the hall.

Seeing that the two of them were gone, Han Junyi wanted to get up and leave, but a look from Han Junwu forced him to sit down. Only then did the smile return to Han Junwu's face.

Thinking that she was good at using medicine, Yuan Niaoniao also stood up and planned to help Chen Shaoyi. But just as she stepped out of the hall, Jin Jingni called her from behind: "Miss Yuan. Wait a minute."

It’s Jin Jingni again, why her again: “Miss Jin? Is there anything I can help you with?” Yuan Nianiao smiled and turned around.

"I saw you were alone, and I happened to want to get some fresh air, so I thought of asking you if you would like to walk with me as a companion." Jin Jingni said slowly, "Is that okay?"

"I'm sorry, I want to walk alone." Yuan Niaoniao refused without a second thought. You are not familiar with me, why should I walk together? It's not convenient to go anywhere. She gave a polite smile, bowed and turned away.

Jin Jingni was left stunned. She was rejected so directly. She thought that even if he didn't care about her face, he wouldn't reject her. Oh, no wonder he likes you. You are really different from others. Oh, she was a little jealous of her. A wave of bitterness appeared on Jin Jingni's face.

After finally getting rid of Jin Jingni, he got lost in this huge palace. He then remembered that he didn't know all the roads in the palace. It was difficult to ask people, so he could only bite the bullet and grope his way. As he walked, he came to a bamboo forest. "Where is this?"

Just as I was wondering, a familiar voice sounded from behind: "Why is Miss Yuan here?"

Hearing this familiar voice, she knew who it was without even turning around to look. She would never forget that voice. Yuan Niao Niao got goosebumps all over her body. Although she wanted to turn around and kill him, she still turned around to suppress her nausea and said, "Greetings, Master Han."

"Why are you alone?" He was just wondering why Xu Shanshan wanted to see him alone, but as he was walking, he happened to meet Yuan Niaoniao who was alone. He forgot about this for a moment and started to care about Yuan Niaoniao instead.

"The hall was a bit stuffy, so I came out for a walk." What's it got to do with you? Do I need you to report where I'm going? Yuan Niao Niao rolled her eyes in her heart.

"I always have a sense of familiarity and intimacy with you. Do you have it?" Han Haotian couldn't help but ask. Recently, he would dream of a scene where Yuan Niaoniao was crying heartbreakingly.

"If Prince Han has nothing else to say, Niaoniao will leave first." Yuan Niaoniao was afraid that she would not be able to help but punch him, so she gave a perfunctory salute and turned to leave.

Han Haotian was upset when he saw Yuan Niao Niao didn't even answer his question. He was about to follow her when Chen Shaoyi knocked him unconscious with a palm and dragged him to a secret place.

"Luckily you showed up quickly." Yuan Niaoniao just saw Chen Shaoyi appear, so she deliberately didn't answer Han Haotian's question directly. This would definitely make him, who is so proud and complacent, unbearable. She wouldn't notice Chen Shaoyi behind her.

"He was too arrogant and didn't notice it." Chen Shaoyi took off his coat, asked Ming Xiao to put it on, and walked towards Xu Shanshan's palace.

Then she quickly carried him to Xu Shanshan's room, threw him on the bed, and left quickly.

When Ming Xiao reached the door of Xu Shanshan's room, he threw down his clothes and quietly returned to the hall.

Seeing Yuan Niaoniao and Chen Shaoyi coming back together, Jin Jingni's jealousy became even stronger. How could she be so favored by him? Her heart suddenly ached. The jealousy in her eyes swept over Yuan Niaoniao, and she drank two glasses of wine before she was able to calm down.

Han Junyi saw Jin Jingni drinking alone and seemed to be in a bad mood: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, it's just that the song and dance are boring." Jin Jingni made up an excuse.

"It's really boring." Han Junyi had wanted to leave a long time ago, but Han Junwu wouldn't let him.

At this time, a palace maid ran in in a panic and whispered something into Zhen Luoyi's ear. Zhen Luoyi looked at Han Junwu, leaned over and whispered a few words into his ear, then left the hall calmly. Han Junwu's expression did not change from beginning to end, as if he was really watching the performance seriously.

Zhen Luoyi brought a group of palace maids with her face full of joy that could not be concealed. Whether it was the young Concubine Xu or Han Haotian, it was a good thing for her that these two people were in trouble.

"Push it open for me." Seeing the scattered clothes on the ground, Zhen Luoyi's eyes flashed with a hint of ridicule. He ordered someone to open the closed door in front of him.

The two maids opened the door swiftly, only to see Xu Shanshan, naked, sleeping on the bed. There were a few men's clothes mixed among the scattered clothes on the floor.

"Tie her up, this shameless bitch who caused chaos in the imperial palace." But only Xu Shanshan was seen, and Han Haotian was nowhere to be seen. Didn't they say they were together? Zhen Luoyi looked around in confusion: "Search for me, see where the adulterer is hiding!"

"Yes," Nanny Gui and a group of palace maids rummaged through the drawers and woke up the unconscious Xu Shanshan: "What, what's going on?" When she shook her head and saw the situation clearly, her expression changed from confusion to panic: "What's going on, Your Majesty?" Seeing that she was tied up with only a quilt on her body, she felt something was wrong.

"Humph! You still have the nerve to ask, right?" Zhen Luoyi walked up to Xu Shanshan and slapped her in the face, "Bitch, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, such an important festival, and you did such a shameless thing. Tell me, are you hanging out with that guy here?"

"No, Queen, I am innocent." She hadn't figured out what was going on yet, but when she heard the charges Zhen Luoyi had put on her, she was so scared that she burst into tears and trembled all over. If she had an affair in the palace, she would be sentenced to death at the very least, or her entire family would be implicated. "I am innocent, wuwuwu..."

"Empress," Nanny Gui handed a secret letter to Zhen Luoyi.

Zhen Luoyi took it and saw that the content inside was exactly the letter that Xu Shanshan wanted to send to Han Haotian. Although it didn't specify who it was for, the content of the letter was enough to sentence Xu Shanshan to death. "Okay, you are so bold as to leak the secrets of the court. Who is this for? You won't be able to chop off your head even if you have a hundred."

"Come here, take her to jail. No matter whether you use torture or any other method, you must make her confess!" Zhen Luoyi left with the letter in his hand in a triumphant gesture.

Xu Shanshan was so frightened after hearing this that she couldn't breathe and fainted again. She was such a spoiled girl, and she was thrown into prison. It was a dark and damp place. If she was tortured again, she would definitely die.

Meanwhile, the missing Han Haotian was on the rooftop, pinching his brows and trying hard to suppress his anger. His protruding veins showed how bad his mood was at the moment. If Feng hadn't found him in time, he would have been caught by Zhen Luoyi on the spot. Although nothing happened, he was dead just because he was lying naked with the emperor's concubine. Who framed him, Yuan Niaoniao? He felt something was wrong from the very beginning. Xu Shanshan inexplicably wanted him to go to her palace, which was already full of doubts. Then he clearly met Yuan Niaoniao, but suddenly he was knocked unconscious by someone. Then he appeared in Xu Shanshan's palace. After seeing Zhen Luoyi and the others leave, Han Haotian gave Feng a look just in case, and then he quietly returned to the hall.

Seeing Han Haotian suddenly appear, Tan Xinhui was shocked. How come he was fine? What a pity. Just now, when she saw Zhen Luoyi rushing out, she thought she could catch him on the spot. What a pity. She just knocked Xu Shanshan unconscious, threw the letter in the corner, and as soon as she came out, she found a palace maid in the name of Concubine Xu and said that Concubine Xu summoned her. All the timing was just right. Even if she was not seduced, as long as she entered that room, Han Haotian would be finished.

"Brother Haotian, where have you been and why did you take so long?" Tan Xinhui asked with pretended concern.

"I just went out for some fresh air. I'm sorry to make Fei'er worry." Han Haotian was talking to Tan Xinhui, but his eyes were fixed on Yuan Niaoniao.

After waiting for a long time until the dinner was over, Han Junwu took Zhen Luoyi to the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, look." Zhen Luoyi handed over the letter, trying to suppress her smugness. As long as Han Haotian fails this time, no one will compete with me, Yi'er.

Han Junwu opened the letter and tore it up in anger: "Where is the bitch?"

"He's already been detained in the jail." Zhen Luoyi felt a little scared when he saw the furious Han Junwu.

"Bring her up here." Han Junwu roared.

"Yes." The guard immediately ran all the way to the prison.

Han Junwu was furious, and everyone lowered their heads, trying to keep their breathing low, fearing that he would make fun of them by mistake. Even Zhen Luoyi was a little scared and didn't dare to speak for a while.

"Your Majesty." The guard who had just been to the prison came running back, sweat dripping from his forehead, "Noble Lady Xu hanged herself." How come he had to run into this incident?

"Hahahaha, good, a good suicide." Han Junwu's eyes showed a fierce light, and he said softly: "Kill the nine clans." Then he snorted and left with a flick of his sleeves.

The people were left with pale faces and could not calm down for a long time.

Soon, the news that Concubine Xu's lineage was executed spread. Although Han Junwu did not vent his anger on Han Haotian, Han Haotian was not sure whether his father knew that this matter was related to him. Of course, this warning was because he felt Han Junwu's anger. During this period, he did not dare to make any moves and just stayed like a quail. The biggest beneficiary of this incident was probably Tan Xinhui. She was very happy to get rid of a thorn in her side. But she didn't know whether this success was entirely due to the help of Chen Shaoyi and others.

After many days, Qi Zhiying thought there was no hope, but suddenly an imperial decree came and she was finally summoned to the palace.

The next day, he was made a noble. This speed is the fastest ever.

When the palace's rewards were delivered to the Qi Mansion, Qi Lei still didn't dare to believe it. Song Mingzhu was so angry that she gritted her teeth: "This little bitch has been allowed to fly to the top and become a phoenix." She immediately asked Qi Lei to write a letter to Qi Zhiying, asking her to ask for a position for Qi Changfeng. However, these letters were not followed up, but she still did not give up and insisted on asking Qi Lei to write letters to the palace every day.

Qi Zhiying in the palace would laugh when she received these letters every day: "Xiaoqing, how can she be so strong-willed? Now that her status is there, how dare she be so arrogant and order me to do things."

"Isn't it? The young lady is now a distinguished person, and everyone has to kneel down to her every time they meet. You really don't know what's good for you." Xiaoqing said angrily.

After a long time, Qi Lei also got annoyed. He was proud for a while because his daughter was conferred a title of noble lady! But he couldn't resist Song Mingzhu's pestering. He wanted to do something for Feng'er out of selfishness. "It's the same with Zhiying. I wrote a lot of letters, but she didn't reply to any greetings. Does she still have me as her father?" The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He simply threw the pen on the table and stopped writing.

"I said at that time that if she was married earlier, she wouldn't have to suffer such humiliation. Look at what she has done now. She is now an empress in the palace. Master and I kneel down when we see her." Song Mingzhu said sarcastically as she touched the rewards. In her heart, she was still thinking about how to get Qi Zhiying to give more. She wanted to keep all of it for Feng'er as a betrothal gift. It would not be difficult to find a good wife then.

"Hmph." Qi Lei angrily flicked his sleeves and left.

..................

"Miss, your letter." Dongxue handed a letter to Yuan Niao Niao's desk.

Yuan Niao Niao picked it up and smiled. It was a letter from Qi Zhiying. The letter said that she was fine and she would strive for a better position to meet her again. Please give her some more time.

Yuan Niaoniao naturally understood that Qi Zhiying was just a minor noble who had just gained favor. In addition, because of the incident involving Xu Shanshan, people in the palace were in a panic. She was not in a hurry for fear of harming her. Anyway, she still had plenty of patience to wait for the truth.

Anyway, everything is moving in the right direction now.

In the evening, Chen Shaoyi came to the window as usual to chat with Yuan Niao Niao, and they talked about Qi Zhiying's life in the palace. "She is not doing well either, because she has just gained favor, and everyone is trying their best to deal with her." Chen Shaoyi said.

"She must have thought about this kind of life of being cautious. When she came to see me, I could see that she was mentally prepared. Everyone has their own destiny. This is the destiny she chose herself. I can only wish her the best." Yuan Niaoniao thought for a while, "She is really a bit like Yan Muyu."

Chen Shaoyi nodded in agreement. Indeed, both of them were people who would not bow to fate. Such people are often the ones who will succeed.
