In the Wutong courtyard.

Lan Kexin looked at the invitation in her hand.

This is the invitation letter that the Queen Mother just sent out yesterday. She is going to hold a coral appreciation banquet.

She looked at the contents of the invitation and pursed her lips.

These people have nothing to do all day long but organize this banquet and that banquet.

Aren’t there enough banquets held in the palace?

But she didn't want to participate at all.

The annoying thing was that the Queen Mother specifically mentioned her name and demanded that she must attend.

Sickness cannot be the reason.

Lan Kexin stroked the invitation letter in her hand.

She felt a cold wind blowing past her from behind.

He frowned, wondering what could have happened to him that the Queen Mother could plot against him.

Chunzhu saw Lan Kexin frowning deeply.

She couldn't help laughing.

"Miss, if you really don't want to participate, you can go to the emperor and let him find a reason to dismiss you."

Lan Kexin pursed her lips. Now the Queen Mother was completely obsessed with her.

No matter where you send her.

These problems must be faced eventually.

Moreover, she cannot leave the capital.

Who knows these bad-brained people.

What tricks are they doing behind the scenes?

By then, she came back and realized that it was too late.

In order to prevent Chunzhu from worrying, she said indifferently:

"Don't worry, it's just a palace banquet. I'm not even afraid of the Hongmen Feast."

Chun Zhu joked: "Girl, maybe this is the Hongmen Banquet. That's the imperial palace, and it's in the Queen Mother's palace."

Is Lan Kexin worried about this?

However, the Sixth Prince personally brought her another piece of news.

Chunzhu saw the Sixth Prince coming.

She retreated quietly.

It was broad daylight. Why was the Sixth Prince looking for her at this time?

Lan Kexin looked at him:

"You're getting bolder and bolder now. You even dare to come to me during the day. Aren't you afraid of being seen by others?"

The Sixth Prince chuckled softly:

"You hope that I will come tonight. Don't worry, I will definitely come tonight and will not let you down."

Lan Kexin raised her foot and kicked him.

"I wish you wouldn't come. Do I still want to have a reputation?"

The Sixth Prince said indifferently, "It's okay. I don't mind if your reputation is a little worse. Besides, what reputation does your mansion have now?"

Of course Lan Kexin knew what he meant?

"Don't use her mistakes to judge me. If I were really that kind of person, my husband would be lining up to go to other countries right now."

The Sixth Prince was speechless. This girl was so bold.

"Are you sure you don't need me to come? Then I'll leave now and take the news with me."

The Sixth Prince was about to climb out of the window when Lan Kexin pulled his sleeve.

"You can leave, but leave the message behind. Since you're here, you can't come in vain!"

The Sixth Prince lowered his eyes and looked at the tender, white little hand.

"Well! You said it! Don't say that I'm shameless enough to stay."

Lan Kexin urged him, "Hurry up and tell me, don't waste time. If someone comes, I won't be able to wash myself clean even if I jump into the Yellow River."

The Sixth Prince jokingly said, "It would be better if it can't be washed clean!"

Lan Kexin only heard vaguely, and asked, "What is better?"

The Sixth Prince did not want to answer.

"No, you have to be careful at this palace banquet."

Lan Kexin was speechless. She was just worried about this matter.

I thought I was overthinking it, but the Sixth Prince actually sent me the news.

She frowned, "Is the Queen Mother going to do something?"

The Sixth Prince said calmly:

"Do you think the food in the palace is so delicious? Every banquet has a purpose, just the audience is different."

"When have I ever eaten in the palace?" Lan Kexin retorted unhappily.

"Hmm! I was wrong. The gate of the palace is not so easy to enter."

"I don't want to go in either!" Lan Kexin muttered.

The Sixth Prince shook his head regretfully:

"What can I do? You are destined to be inseparable from the palace in this life. No matter who you are, this is your fate."

The Sixth Prince looked deeply at Lan Kexin's face.

This girl didn't give him a very amazing impression at first sight.

The more I looked at her, the less she seemed good enough.

The more I look at her, the more I realize she is more beautiful than anyone else.

"You have to be careful of the Seventh Prince and the Fifth Master Ye at this palace banquet."

Lan Kexin was puzzled and looked at the Sixth Prince.

"Who is the Seventh Prince? Why have I never seen him? Or heard of him?"

"The Seventh Prince rarely goes out, so many people ignore him."

The Sixth Prince explained:

"The Seventh Prince is 17 years old this year. From the moment he was born, the imperial physician predicted that he would not live for many years.

But he barely made it to the age of 17, and his father worried every day that he wouldn't see the sun tomorrow."

Lan Kexin was even more puzzled by this.

"Why should I be on guard against him? How could a sickly person plot against me?"

The Sixth Prince said with a smile: "Well, not only does he want to plot against you, but Ye Wugongzi also wants to plot against you."

"So, the two of them are in cahoots?" Lan Kexin asked in confusion, "Do I have a grudge against the Seventh Prince?"

The Sixth Prince glanced at her speechlessly.

How come she's not smart at all at this moment?

He said bluntly:

"The Seventh Prince needs a princess who understands medicine and can take care of him."

Lan Kexin said "Oh".

"So, if he chooses me, will the Emperor agree?"

The Sixth Prince shook his head: "They are all the emperor's sons. As long as his son is willing, no matter which woman it is, the emperor will agree."

Lan Kexin: "There are many female doctors in the palace. Why did you choose me? Is it just because I have a higher status?"

The Sixth Prince still shook his head: "No, this is not the most important reason."

Lan Kexin: "What is that?"

"Your Lan family made a prophecy 15 years ago that the Phoenix Star would descend upon the Marquis' Mansion, so the Queen Mother is taking a gamble."

Lan Kexin tilted her head and looked at him.

"Do you also believe in this kind of prophecy?"

"This king doesn't believe it, but others will."

Lan Kexin understood.

The Queen Mother wanted to help the Seventh Prince rise up and assist him in becoming the emperor.

However, the Seventh Prince has a weak character.

Isn't she afraid that the Seventh Prince might do something bad one day and just kick his feet, close his eyes, and disappear completely?

Wouldn't all their efforts be in vain?

Lan Kexin asked, "How many days can the Seventh Prince live?"

The Sixth Prince laughed:

"Why are you asking so bluntly? Every year the imperial physician says the Seventh Prince won't live more than two years, yet here he is, at 17, and still doing fine. You should be careful."

Lan Kexin understood.

It turned out that he was plotting against her here.

And use those despicable means again.

Lan Kexin was very annoyed about this.

"I'm sick. Can I not attend the palace banquet?"

The Sixth Prince laughed and said:

"Unless you can recover from your illness, you will be summoned to the palace alone sooner or later. By then, you won't be able to hide even if you want to."

Lan Kexin pondered: "What's going on with Ye Fei'er? Why should I be on guard against him?"

"He will also attend the palace banquet, and there's a high possibility that he will attack you."
