Chapter 289 Enmity? (1)

"The steward said that a batch of fresh side dishes has been delivered from the Zhuangzi." Banhua walked into the room and found that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the room. The prince's subordinates looked displeased but did not dare to attack. The prince's expression was a little lonely and forced The smell of laughter, only Rong Xia looked as usual, sitting beside her gracefully drinking tea.

She walked up to Rong Xia and sat down, pretending not to notice the conflicts between Rong Xia and these people, "Brother Prince, we haven't sat down and talked for a long time, so you stay and have dinner together today, is this lord?" ..."

"The next official is Zhan Shifu..."

"Oh, so it's the master of Zhan Shifu," Ban Hua interrupted the displeased official, covered his mouth and chuckled, and touched the Fengfei hairpin on his temple with the other hand, and said casually, " Seeing your lord's expression now, I always think of some well-behaved nuns in the palace. Back then, there was a nunnery who was close to my favorite concubine who was picky about me. I was stubborn, young and ignorant, so I went with this empress After a few arguments, I haven't seen this empress all these years, and I don't know how she is doing now."

The crown prince's subordinates looked a little unhappy, he suppressed his dissatisfaction: "I wonder who this empress is?"

"It seems to be Song Guipin or Song Zhaoyi," Ban Hua put his hands on the hand warmer, raised his eyebrows, "It's been a while, I almost forgot her name."

Song Zhaoyi...

The face of the crown prince's subordinates changed. He remembered very clearly that Song Zhaoyi, who was quite favored five years ago, was rejected by His Majesty because he offended a certain nobleman. Since then, there has been no such person in the palace. Princess Fuller mentioned this lady because he thought his complexion was not good-looking, which affected her mood?

Could it be that the nobleman that Song Zhaoyi offended was Princess Fule, who was still the Lord of the Township back then?

On a very cold day, the Crown Prince's servant felt as if a piece of ice had slipped into his throat, and his teeth were so cold that they couldn't help chattering. He turned his head to look at the prince, and saw that the prince was not dissatisfied with Princess Fuller, so he restrained his expression. This Princess Fuller could not afford to offend him, and when he was whipped a few times, it would probably be white suffered.

The dinner is well prepared, and every dish is exquisite in color, fragrance and taste. The Rong family is a big family that has been passed down for two or three dynasties. The Ban family has been craving food for generations, so the ancestors of the two families have accumulated a lot of recipes. Now that the descendants of the two families are married, there are even more dishes that can be placed on the dinner table .

The crown prince and Rong Xia had eaten at the same table several times. When he came here before, the Rong family's meals were elegant and healthy, but today it is different from the past.

He glanced at Ban Hua who was sitting next to Rong Xia, and his heart was like a mirror.

The crown prince's subordinates sat at the bottom, looking at the dishes on the table, they just felt distressed, the Princess Fule was too extravagant, to use such exquisite meals. It's a pity that Rong Xia, who is as elegant as a moon, let her be so particular because she is addicted to female sex.

Sigh.

But the taste of these dishes is really good, he couldn't help but eat a lot more than usual.

After dinner, after washing his hands and rinsing his mouth, the prince said to Rong Xia: "Gu knows that what happened today is a bit difficult for others, but I hope Lord Hou can understand Gu's embarrassment."

"Your Highness, loyalty and righteousness have been a dilemma since ancient times," Rong Xia said with a serious face, "I think you understand this truth."

The prince sighed in silence, "Although I understand, I can't bear it after all."

Rong Xia chuckled, which seemed a little sarcastic.

"Since the prince has already said so, there is nothing I can do."

The prince only felt the burning pain on his face. He turned to look at Banhua. She was lowering her head and playing with the jade bracelet on her wrist, as if she was not interested in their chat at all. The prince's subordinates couldn't bear the prince's embarrassment, and said, "Your Highness, it's getting late, you should go back to the palace."

The prince suddenly came back to his senses, and said to Rong Xia and Ban Hua: "Cousin, cousin-in-law, I should go back, take my leave."

Rong Xia and Ban Hua sent the prince to the gate of Rong's house, and they didn't turn back to the main courtyard until the prince got into the carriage.

"What is the prince looking for you for?"

"He wants me to return to court."

Banhua frowned: "Now the government is in chaos, and there are many factions. Last time you were blamed by His Majesty for no reason. Who wants to touch this kind of mess? Not to mention..." She paused, "Not to mention Prince Ning No matter how you look at it, it’s not material to be an emperor, you just let them make trouble, don’t worry about it.”

"I thought Huahua would ask me to help the prince," Rong Xia looked at Banhua in surprise, "So you think so."

"What do I think is useless," Ban Hua shook his head. "Grandpa and grandmother once told me that everything in the world must decline when it is prosperous, and it will survive when it declines. Now that the court has become like this, even if you go, you can't change it." Too much stuff, I hope you're okay."

A few years later, the new emperor succeeded to the throne, so he would not be involved in the storm of ransacking his home.

"Grandpa and grandma are right," Rong Xia smiled, "There will always be a turning point in this world."

Early the next morning, Ban Hua received an invitation from the Eastern Palace. The Crown Princess invited the noble women to drink tea in the Eastern Palace. Ban Hua's status was noble, so he was naturally among those invited.

She took the invitation card and read it several times. The more she looked at it, the more she felt that the invitation card was written by the princess herself. Although she didn't have any calligraphy skills, she still knew the private seal of the princess on the bottom of the invitation.

"Princess, the relationship between the princess and us has not been very good, why don't we go," Ruyi looked at the invitation in Banhua's hand worriedly, "I am worried that she will make things difficult for you on purpose."

"Why don't you go?" Banhua threw the invitation back on the table, "This is the first invitation I received after I got married. I not only want to go, but I also want to go there in a beautiful way. As for the princess , she dare not do anything to me."

With Shi's current situation, unless she is out of her mind, she will never do anything that makes her unhappy.

What's more, she already knew that Shi Feixian was not the murderer behind the assassination of her father, so she was willing to give the princess this face, or give the prince a face, anyway, she has a character that can't be idle.

Up to now, she still doesn't know who the real murderer is, but this matter involves a court battle, so it's not something she can easily investigate. But she was not reconciled, and always felt that if this matter was not investigated clearly, her heart would not be at ease. Who knows where this man behind the scenes is hiding, and will he plot against the Ban family again?
