After the news that Si Moli was leaving for Beijing was sent to Si Mingxuan, he was really worried.

In his original plan, the emperor's health should get worse and worse, and he would eventually be bedridden, or even unable to survive. Then he would take control of the situation as soon as possible and ascend to the throne in one fell swoop.

Even if the emperor wanted to pass the throne to Prince Li, Prince Li was sent away by him and was far away on the border. He had many ways to prevent this.

But the emperor is an old man. I don't know what happened, but he has been dragging his sick body to deal with government affairs. After passing the imperial examination, he became more and more energetic.

Therefore, even if he, the Sixth Prince, became increasingly powerful, he still could not reach the last and most critical step.

And once Si Moli returns to the capital, if he joins forces with the emperor again, Si Mingxuan really doesn't have complete confidence that he can be the one who succeeds in the end.

At this time, he thought of another person, Shen Qingyun.

However, based on his understanding of Si Moli, it would be very difficult to directly find someone to take Shen Qingyun away by force. After thinking for a long time, he could only find Lin Xueying to find a way.

Although Lin Xueying did not know the whole matter, she quickly gave a solution: "Your Highness, I can hold a small banquet and invite women who are familiar with me in the past to gather together."

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you." Si Mingxuan smiled and discussed some details with her, then rewarded her with some gold, silver and jade articles, and stayed in her room.

Not long after, Shen Qingyun received a post from Lin Xueying.

She just glanced at it briefly, and then said calmly to Yi Cui: "Reject the post, I will say that I am physically handicapped, and go to the warehouse to get a decent gift to send over to express my apology."

Why bother with such a Hongmen Banquet?

Yicui nodded, seeming to be in a dilemma: "Miss, you made an appointment with Miss Ji to enjoy peach blossoms tomorrow. Now that you are sick, do you still want to go?"

Shen Qingyun frowned slightly and looked out the window.

It is now the end of March, and counting the days, even if it has to be postponed for a few days, it should still be possible in time.

Then she said: "Then let's send a message to the Taifu's Mansion and tell me that I am not feeling well. I will enjoy the peach blossoms again in a few days."

Yi Cui nodded and stepped back to finish the work.

After Lin Xueying received the reply, she could not suppress the look of resentment on her face. How could she explain this to the Sixth Prince?

Obviously they had known each other once, but Shen Qingyun didn't give her any face!

But unexpectedly, Si Mingxuan was not particularly angry when he learned about this. He just sighed. It was really the woman that Si Moli fell in love with. She was not so easy to take the bait. There still had to be a more sophisticated plan. Just fine.

Lin Xueying naturally invited not only Shen Qingyun, but also other ladies from other families. Seeing that the Sixth Prince was not angry, she could only organize this small banquet with her heart.

Princess Zhenyang was also invited. Now Lin Xueying is the sixth prince's concubine. Once the sixth prince succeeds to the throne, she may be the future queen, so she will naturally go to the appointment to maintain the relationship.

Early that morning, she got up to wash up. The maid next to her was choosing a hair accessory for her. She suddenly said, "I don't want this, I want that flower-shaped gold hairpin inlaid with turquoise."

"Yes, ma'am." The maid quickly changed her clothes without hesitation.

She looked in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction. This hairpin was bought by Huang Ming'an as a gift to her the day before yesterday, and now it goes perfectly with her skirt.

After everything was packed, she left the house soon.

During the banquet, a lady stared at her hairpin for a long time and suddenly said: "The princess is so lucky. Your husband bought this hairpin for you, right?"

Princess Zhenyang was stunned when she heard this, and asked in surprise: "How do you know this, madam?"

Other ladies on the side also came over curiously, wanting to hear the excitement: "Yes, how can you see this?"

The lady blinked and said playfully: "I went to the jewelry pavilion a few days ago and fell in love with this set at first sight. The turquoise on it is gorgeous and the workmanship is very unique. I didn't expect it before I opened my mouth.

This song was bought by your husband Mr. Huang. At that time, I was not sure whether that person was Mr. Huang, but now that I saw the hairpin on the princess’s head, I guessed it right.”

As she said this, she covered her mouth and said with a smile: "It has been three years since we got married, and my wife has long since stopped thinking about it. On weekdays, she only wants to give me the money to buy things by myself. Seeing how loving you are as newlyweds makes me so envious.

.”

After hearing this, the lady on the side also cheered and said: "Then it is because the princess's husband truly loves her that he would personally choose a gift for the princess."

Princess Zhenyang smiled wantonly, carelessly held up the hairpin in her bun and said, "We have just gotten married, but he is really considerate and considerate towards me."

Seeing the envious looks of all the ladies, Princess Zhenyang raised her chin unconsciously.

First, the lady asked curiously: "Didn't Mr. Huang buy a whole set? Why doesn't the princess also wear earrings?"

Princess Zhenyang froze, and before she could react, she excused herself: "Recently, I saw that these jade earrings matched my clothes, so I wore them."

Others didn't notice anything unusual and continued to laugh and discuss the trivial matters after marriage.

Lin Xueying happened to come over: "Everyone is chatting so happily. What are you talking about? Let me tell you."

"Sixth Princess, we are talking about..." When everyone saw Lin Xueying, they all eagerly came up to her, chatting with each other, it was very lively.

But Princess Zhenyang seemed unable to hear a word at this moment. Her mind seemed to be filled with mush and she couldn't think clearly at all.

Huang Ming'an bought a set of jewelry, why did he only give himself a hairpin? Could it be that he lost the earrings, or did he want to hide them and give them to himself next time?

Princess Zhenyang had a vague suspicion in her heart, but she didn't want to admit it.

She was in a daze and was completely out of state. She only wanted to find out about the earrings and was not in the mood to gather and chat at all.

In the end, she did not stay for lunch, but made an excuse to say that she was feeling unwell and wanted to leave first.

Lin Xueying saw that her complexion was indeed a little bad. After a few words of concern, she asked her to go back and rest early.

Princess Zhenyang nodded. On the way back, she was filled with sadness, so she opened a crack in the window and looked out the window, not knowing what she was thinking.

Passing by Xiangman Building, she suddenly spotted a familiar figure walking in. It seemed to be Huang Mingan!

"Stop!" Princess Zhenyang shouted suddenly.

The maid asked curiously: "Princess, what's wrong? Do you want to eat the delicious snacks in the house again?"

The carriage stopped, and Princess Zhenyang was stunned. The figure just passed by in a flash. She was a little unsure whether it was Huang Mingsheng she saw, so she could only say: "Well, follow me down and buy a copy."

The maid nodded, and while helping Princess Zhenyang out of the carriage, she said: "These delicious snacks are so fragrant that every time the princess wants to eat them, I will buy them back the next day. It's really considerate."
