That prince's heart is too dark

As soon as Xiao Huaian left, Bai Yao stopped being lazy and played on the grass by herself with briquettes.

Bai Yao ran to the small kitchen, where Daman Xiaoman and a pair of twin sisters in plain dresses, Huazheng and Fang Chef, were learning how to mix mooncake stuffing.

Seeing Bai Yao approaching, Xiao Man said with a smile: "Young master, you are here, I am waiting for you to make sweet-scented osmanthus stuffing." After speaking, she winked at Da Man and her sister Hua.

Bai Yao couldn't resist Xiao Man's teasing all the time, she blushed and scratched her head.

Da Man gave Xiao Man a push, and took Bai Yao to the side to wash his hands.

The sister flowers are the other two of the four major maidservants besides Daman and Xiaoman, sister Xiaohan and younger sister Dahan, both of them are iceberg beauties who are serious and unsmiling. I recently saw these two sisters.

Xiaohan kneaded the dough in his hands, and gave his sister a look, ah!This is too cute!

Dahan nodded seriously, he is quite cute, and even cuter when holding coal balls.

Then, the two sisters sighed, what a pity, this is the person their black-hearted master has taken a fancy to, so they really dare not move!

Bai Yao washed her hands and came to make mooncakes together, and was warmly helped by the four maidservants of the palace. During the period, Twin Flowers, who looked very tall, provided various auxiliary tasks such as kneading dough, handing knives, pressing dough, and stuffing. Xiao Man, who was originally Bai Yao's good assistant, was squeezed to the back in a daze.

The innocent Bai Yao was very moved. The people in Yong'an Palace were not only beautiful, like angels, but also kind-hearted and helpful, which made Bai Yao, who had hidden a little secret in her heart, feel ashamed.

Xiaohan brushed a plate of five-nut mooncakes with oil, why did the little boy suddenly wilt?Is it because we didn't do well?

Dahan hurriedly lowered his head to check the plate of white sugar mooncakes she made, it was uglier than Bai Yao's own osmanthus mooncakes, his hands were so itchy that he wanted to overturn them.

Xiaoman took Dahan's hand and shook his head desperately, "Sister Dahan, it's already this hour, if we overturn it, we will have no mooncakes to eat, why do we watch the moon at night?"

Dahan hesitated and hesitated.

Daman directly turned around and handed the plate of sweet-scented osmanthus mooncakes that Bai Yao had greased up to Chef Fang, not wanting to see her sisters who were so serious on the surface that they couldn't be more serious on the surface, but were actually very nonchalant on the inside.

Out of sight out of mind.

The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was held at You hour in the evening, and Xiao Huai'an left the palace at [-]:[-] o'clock. The Nancheng palace was still a long way from the palace, and it would not be too early if the banquet started at the right time.

This is very inconsistent with Xiao Huai'an's usual style of arriving early, and it's no wonder that Yan Xu is anxious.

Palace banquets such as Mid-Autumn Festival Banquets are held in Changle Palace, which was specially built for palace banquets in the palace. Changle Palace occupies an area as large as Fengming Palace where three empresses lived. .

The main body of Changle Palace is made of gold and red, which gradually change from deep red to golden at the top. It is especially beautiful when the sun is shining on a sunny day or when the sun is setting in the evening. Of course, there will be thousands of palace lanterns at night. Unique beauty that is different by day.

If the Changle Palace during the day is a gorgeous girl in gorgeous dresses, then the Changle Palace at night is a quiet and elegant lady.

In Changle Palace, there are not only exotic plants from various countries, but also exquisite decorations such as fountains, which is why Changle Palace is known as the most beautiful palace in the world, and foreign envoys are proud to be able to participate in the palace banquet of Changle Palace.

When Xiao Huai'an came, it was almost time for the banquet, the dusk was falling, and the palace lanterns were lit in Changle Palace. In this dim light, he and Yan Xu walked into the palace slowly.

Seeing Xiao Huai'an coming, the ministers who were flattering each other hurried forward to say hello. Xiao Huai'an smiled decently and chatted with the ministers one by one, very gentlemanly.

I don't know if Xiao Huaian and Xiao Huaining have an appointment or what, Xiao Huaian just chatted with a few ministers here, but Xiao Huaining arrived late.

With sharp eyes, Xiao Huaining saw Xiao Huaian who was surrounded by the crowd. He smiled a normal smile, walked up, and said, "My younger brother has seen my elder brother."

When the minister saw that King Jianning was coming, and saw that King Jianning was about to chat with King Yongan, he hurriedly greeted him and then backed away winkingly. He also started to murmur in his heart that the relationship between the two might not be that good. , why did King Jianning behave so intimately?Weird!

Xiao Huaian nonchalantly looked up and down Xiao Huaining, who was also wearing the red prince's dress, "Second brother."

The marks on his face were gone, and he didn't seem to care about the slap at all, which is really interesting.

Yan Xu glared at An Liang who was following Xiao Huaining, An Liang looked back coldly, and almost confessed to Yan Xu, thinking of the occasion, he rolled his eyes and turned his face away.

"Brother just arrived?" Xiao Huaining asked with a smile.

Xiao Huaian also laughed, and asked knowingly, "Yes, something happened in the mansion, so I came out late. Why did the second brother come so late."

"The concubine Ji in the mansion is very pestering. I just learned a new puppet show and wanted to show it to my king. Eldest brother also knows that my younger brother likes it so little." Xiao Huaining smiled ambiguously, as if he didn't believe that Xiao Huaian was delayed by trivial matters. expression.

Xiao Huaian has a good temper, he was too lazy to leave Xiao Huaining just smiled and didn't answer.

Xiao Huaining was still talking about something when he heard a long drink.

"The emperor is here! The empress is here! The fourth princess, the fifth prince, the sixth prince and all the concubines are here!"

"Your Majesty, I wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!" All the ministers knelt down in the hall for a while.

According to the rules of the Great Chu, when the emperor appears with the harem concubines and heirs, he only needs to greet the emperor.

"Haha, all the lovers are also safe and healthy during the Mid-Autumn Festival, please sit down." Emperor Yuanhe was wearing a black dress. This banquet dress was embroidered with five-clawed flying golden dragons on the chest and cuffs, which was more gorgeous than the dragon robes used in the previous dynasty. hundred times.

Emperor Yuanhe sat at the head, and everyone dared to sit in turn after seeing Emperor Yuanhe seated.

Advocate Hou sat on the right hand of a low table separated from Yuanhe Emperor's seat. Yuanhe Emperor sat on the left hand of King Yong'an, and King Jianning sat next to the Empress Chang, diagonally opposite King Yong'an.

In fact, in terms of respect, the left hand of Emperor Yuanhe should be Xiao Huaiyu, the only Rui Wang who respects the prince at present.

But because Emperor Yuanhe favored Xiao Huai'an too much, and Xiao Huaiyu was not in Beijing all year round, even if he was, he would not compete with Xiao Huai'an for the position, this position that Xiao Huaining dreamed of became Xiao Huai'an's exclusive.

Sitting next to Xiao Huai'an was the clan prince, and the fifth and sixth princes sat beside Xiao Huaining. After that, Xiao Huai'an's row was courtiers, and Xiao Huaining's row was concubines.

If this goes on like this, Concubine Rou is actually in a very rear position.

The concubine Rou, who was wearing a pink palace dress and painted with peach blossom makeup, tore the handkerchief vigorously, she was very dissatisfied with her current position, why should she be seated in such a back position as Yuan Hedi's favorite concubine at present!

She cast a pitiful look at the superior Xiao Huai'an, hoping that Xiao Huai'an could say something nice to her. She was his aunt and his natal family.

As Xiao Huai'an's personal attendant, Yan Xu sat behind Xiao Huai'an, he had sharp eyes inside, and when he saw Concubine Rou, he shivered disgustingly.

The emcee eunuch here finished reading the mid-autumn gift given to Emperor Yuanhe by the prince and minister. Emperor Yuanhe nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand, "Let's have a banquet!"

The music sounded, and the dancers from the teaching workshop came up to perform dances in light dresses.

Yan Xu then approached Xiao Huaian's ear with music, and muttered in a low voice: "Master, did you see the way Concubine Rou looked at you just now? Is it really disgusting? Did she ask you for help? Didn't she mess up recently? There are quite a lot of messy sachets and secret medicines, and I haven't been favored yet."

Xiao Huai'an's eyes were dark, and when he thought of the soft concubine sent by Wen Lin to make those heretical things outside the palace, he became very tired.

He lowered his eyes while tasting the wine, "Why didn't you see it?! It's just that I'm too lazy to pay attention to her. I've been in the palace for more than ten years and only successfully climbed onto the dragon bed. I'm in a hurry."

"It's not that she deserves it! It's not right to be the mistress of the house. She just wanted to seduce her brother-in-law during her sister's filial piety, thinking that she could ascend to the sky and become a phoenix in one step after entering the palace. In the end, she seemed to be honored and favored forever, and she became a living target in the harem." , Now I can't help it anymore, I'm asking for help, what a big face!"

Yan Xu spat bitterly.

"At the beginning when she wanted to enter the palace, my uncle was cold-hearted. He only said that it could enter the palace, but the Huo family would not help her a little bit, and she agreed. Now it's nothing to ask the Lord for help."

Xiao Huaian's voice was cold, the song and dance in the hall changed, he didn't bother to watch, he just wanted to find a suitable opportunity to slip away.

"I did it all by myself! But having said that, this concubine is also very powerful, fighting against the group of women in the harem by herself." Yan Xu shivered when he thought of the methods of those women in the deep house, it was terrible, really terrible.

Bored, Xiao Huaian picked up a dish that was well-prepared but already cold, and put it into his mouth with disgust. In fact, he never understood who built the Changle Palace with a bad mind.

There is such a big piece of space in the middle, it’s okay in summer, but the palace banquets in spring, autumn and winter are really suffering, the food is cold, there is no heat at all, how to eat?

Xiao Huaian raised his eyes, and the circled piece of sky was deep in color like fine blue velvet, and a yellow-orange full moon hung in the center.

It's pretty, and it's just pretty.

Xiao Huaian looked back, and inadvertently met Xiao Huaining who was diagonally opposite. Xiao Huaining seemed very happy, and raised his wine glass to respect from afar.

Xiao Huaian also raised his glass and took a sip.

An Liang didn't know when he left the palace and came back again. He half-kneeled beside Xiao Huaining, and whispered: "Master, there is news from over there that he successfully entered King Yong'an's study, and a secret letter has been sent back to the mansion." superior."

"Okay, okay." Xiao Huaining nodded in a good mood, humming along with the newly opened opera.

Xiao Huai'an, Xiao Huai'an, no matter how impregnable your house is, didn't you let this article hit two nails easily?

"Master, Shuang Jiang came to report just now, confirming that the spy entered the study and stole two letters from you, master, and sent them to the people in the Jianning Palace." Wen Lin appeared at some time, half kneeling behind Xiao Huai'an, and reported in a low voice. road.

"Master, let me catch it!" Yan Xu's eyes lit up excitedly, this Lao Shizi's banquet is too boring, the food is not delicious, how can it be interesting to catch it carefully?

"What's the rush?" Xiao Huaian said nonchalantly, and raised his glass to toast Xiao Huaining who was humming a ditty.

Xiao Huaining frowned, and asked An Liang, "Who is that person behind Xiao Huaian?"

Hearing this, An Liang looked over, and his eyes also froze. He regarded Wen Lin as his mortal enemy, and he knew who this man was even if only a part of his clothes were showing.

"Master, he is the commander of the shadow guards of King Yong'an, Wen Lin."

"Well, I should have known about the theft of the study and came to report it."

Xiao Huaining didn't take it seriously, he didn't think that the nail he arranged would be discovered at this time, whether it would be discovered sooner or later, but today?How can there be such a coincidence.

"Master, the Autumn Equinox has also sent back news that the young master's life experience has been found." Wen Lin lowered his head and said in a deep voice.
