After the tragic death of the daughter of the emperor, she returned to her former marriage and refus

However, apart from the East Palace secret guards who secretly escorted Mo Nianci back to the Hansha Palace, no one else at the scene knew him.

Only that other person felt that the distinguished guest from afar brought by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today seemed a little familiar, as if he had seen him in a small alley in Tianze.

But no matter what, no one connected this person with the Crown Prince of Hansha Kingdom.

Even the important officials of the imperial court who came one after another, and the generals who had fought on the border for many years, were not recognized by anyone.

In front of the mansion gate, Lord He came to greet the two men and welcomed them to the main seat.

He did not dare to ask Xu Jinghuai without permission who this distinguished guest from afar was.

Xu Jinghuai also did not make any comments regarding Mo Nianci's identity.

He just looked at everyone politely and coldly, and responded to everyone's greetings politely but distantly.

Finally, Princess Fengling's father, Prince Anguo, couldn't help but express his curiosity. He came forward and asked Xu Jinghuai directly.

"I wonder where this distinguished guest beside Your Highness comes from, and what his name is?"

Xu Jinghuai put down the teacup he had just picked up, and a smile of unknown meaning appeared on the corner of his mouth, "A distinguished guest from afar who came to see an old friend."

Duke Anguo was stunned.

How could he not know that it was a distinguished guest from afar? Just yesterday, when General He's father, Lord He from the Ministry of Works, invited everyone, his high-profile appearance and tone were so high-profile that he wanted to let the whole city know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would bring the distinguished guests from afar to the He Mansion for a celebration banquet today.

Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, and distinguished guests from afar have also arrived.

But his identity was not clear at all, and his clothes seemed to have the characteristics of Hansha Country.

Looking at the uniquely shaped jade on the forehead of the "distinguished guest", Duke Anguo made a bold guess.

However, he did not dare to express this guess publicly and could only ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Xu Jinghuai was vague in his words.

This made him a little confused, and he didn't know what Xu Jinghuai was thinking.

He wanted to ask further, but he was worried that Xu Jinghuai would become impatient and take his anger out on him.

He could only return to his seat in disappointment.

The He Mansion was festive and lively.

All the influential and powerful people from all walks of life in Tianze, as well as important officials in the court, came.

Everyone brought gifts.

Among all the people present, only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not bring any gifts, but instead brought a mysterious person called a "distant guest".

Naturally, this news quickly reached the ears of He Zhixiao and his biological mother Zhang, who had already finished dressing up and were ready to attend the banquet.

He Zhixiao did not pay much attention to the distinguished guest from afar, but when he heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince attached so much importance to this person that even Fengling County Princess's father, Duke Anguo, could not get the reason, his curiosity was aroused.

He then ordered Taozhi to go around the banquet hall and ask around.

He was stopped by Zhang.

"What's there to inquire about? His Highness actually brought an honored guest with him. Even if it means he values Xiao'er, why would we need to verify it?"

As he spoke, he happily took He Zhixiao's hand and said with a smile, "I think something big is going to happen today."

"event?"

He Zhixiao looked at Zhang, feeling somewhat uneasy.

She knew very well that something big was going to happen today. Her mother, Zhang, had always been thoughtful and meticulous. Yesterday, Zhang stayed up all night planning the good things for her and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. With such dedication, everything would surely be flawless and go smoothly.

However, this matter is still too important, and it is also her only chance before His Highness's wedding.

I was still nervous.

"Is mother ready for everything?"

Zhang was stunned and then laughed.

"Don't worry, Xiao'er, mother has arranged everything." After saying this, her eyes rolled and her brows lit up with joy, "Xiao'er, the big thing mother is talking about is not actually the big thing of fulfilling your relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It's..."

She lowered her voice and whispered in He Zhixiao's ear, "Today's banquet, all the guests came with gifts, but His Royal Highness, who is of such noble status and represents the high and mighty face of the royal family, did not bring any gifts, only the so-called distinguished guests from afar. This is so abnormal. Xiao'er, do you know why?"

He Zhixiao frowned slightly and thought about it carefully.

Suddenly, as if he had suddenly realized something, the tension and anxiety on his face disappeared in an instant.

"Mother, do you think that His Highness must have brought a more valuable gift and wants to give it to Xiao'er in public?"

"Hmm!" When Zhang said this, her eyes were full of greed.

"What do you think the gift is, mother?"

"Since it's so solemn, it can only be a priceless gift that can't be used directly as a present..."

"Imperial edict? Marriage certificate?!"

He Zhixiao suddenly jumped up from his chair and looked at Zhang in surprise.

His usual composure and calmness were gone.

She asked Zhang over and over again.

"Is this what Xiao'er thinks?"

Zhang looked at her with annoyance, "That's right. After all, my Tianze has always been the most respectful of etiquette. It has never been the case that a marriage is not celebrated with gifts. Moreover, there is no precedent for a principal and a concubine to enter the Eastern Palace at the same time. But Your Highness, for my Xiao'er, it is not a bad idea to break this rule."

"Mother, do you think that His Highness asked the Emperor for a marriage certificate for Xiao'er?" He Zhixiao's eyes lit up as she murmured with joy, "If that's the case, then today's plan is unnecessary."

"No, even so, the plan will proceed as usual!"

"Why?!"

"Xiao'er..." Zhang looked at He Zhixiao solemnly, "You must first conceive a royal heir!"

He Zhixiao suddenly realized again.

"Mother is still thoughtful."

……

After a stick of incense.

Zhang accompanied He Zhixiao, who was dressed in a bright red dress, to the main guest table. Her eyes fell on the handsome and unparalleled Crown Prince with unparalleled temperament.

The entire plan she had prepared flashed through her mind one by one.

First, Taozhi was asked to prepare a yin-yang wine pot. When the banquet reached its climax, the pot was used to fill the wine mixed with medicinal powder for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Once His Royal Highness the Crown Prince drinks the wine, the medicine will take effect.

Then let the servants on standby help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the side room.

Then, good things are about to happen.

She had made careful preparations for everything, even instructing the guards who were responsible for guarding the surroundings of the wing rooms and preventing outsiders from entering.

Everything will just happen naturally when the time is right.

Thinking of this, she looked confidently at He Zhixiao, who had attracted the attention of everyone in the room, and then looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again.

There is pride on his face, and even more ambition to win.

Upon seeing this, Lord He hurried over to the two of them and accompanied them in kneeling and paying homage to Xu Jinghuai.

After the ceremony, everyone looked at this scandalous couple living among the public, their eyes full of curiosity as if they were watching a fun event.

He Zhixiao's eyes were ambiguous, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very frank.

This also made everyone feel particularly emotional. There are some things that they dare not think but dare not say. Since ancient times, women have been more sentimental, while men...

I understand...
