But there was one thing she was curious about. Along the way, Huang Shilang was always under her surveillance. How did she avoid the secret guards she arranged and spread the news?

Moreover, Minister Huang just avoided the surveillance of the secret guards and went to meet the master.

Is it possible---

Did Huang Shilang know from the beginning that he arranged for someone to monitor her?

No, it's impossible.

Chen Xi herself denied this speculation. If Huang Shilang really knew that he had people spying on her, he would not be so calm, as if nothing happened.

According to Huang Shilang's behavior during this period, she should not know about this matter.

So how did she avoid the secret guards' eyes, contact Yan Lingqing's people, and avoid the secret guards' surveillance?

The more I think about it, the more questions I have in my mind.

Chen Xi's hand tapping on the table became more and more urgent, almost leaving an afterimage.

"Your Highness—"

Chen Xi was thinking about something when someone outside suddenly shouted.

Chen Xi raised her eyes and asked in a deep voice: "What's the matter?"

The servant outside the door heard Chen Xi's answer. Even though he didn't see anyone, he still bowed respectfully and said: "The dinner is ready, just waiting for you to come over, Your Highness."

"knew."

After getting Chen Xi's answer, the servant left.

Chen Xi tidied up a little and went directly to the banquet.

When Chen Xi walked over, she happened to meet Huang Shilang walking towards him.

The other party was obviously startled when she saw Chen Xi, and then became slightly panicked. By the time Chen Xi came in front of her, she had put away all inappropriate expressions and said calmly.

"His Royal Highness has come here? I still plan to go find you."

As expected of someone who could drag the original owner to death on his own, he thought of an excuse in the blink of an eye, perfectly explaining why he walked back.

"Just now, a servant came to call me. It happened that there was nothing else to do and he came over. Does Mr. Huang have anything else to do? If not, let's do it together?"

Chen Xi naturally knew that this was just Huang Shilang's excuse, but she still pretended to believe what Huang Shilang said and said calmly.

"good."

Huang Shilang Tebei walked naturally behind Chen Xi and went to the banquet with her.

Mr. Jiang had been waiting for the morning sun to arrive at the banquet early in the morning. After seeing the figure of the morning sun in the distance, he immediately waved and let the dance music start.

For a time, there was a chorus of orioles singing and dancing, and the sound of falling was heard all the time. All the guests could see were enjoying themselves together, and there was no heaviness at all along the way.

It was as if the natural and man-made disasters outside this banquet had never happened at all.

"Your Highness?"

Huang Shilang looked at Chen Xi staying where he was without moving, and said in confusion.

"nothing."

Chen Xi said with an indifferent look, she seemed to already know Yan Lingqing's plan.

"go in."

After Chen Xi finished speaking, she walked over directly. Huang Shilang saw Chen Xi leaving and hurriedly followed her.

"Your Highness."

Mr. Jiang has been paying attention to Chen Xi's every move. When he saw her coming in, he quickly picked up the wine glass and greeted her.

"Master Jiang," Chen Xi avoided the wine handed over by Master Jiang and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Your Highness has come all the way, but you don't despise the humble residence of Xiaguan. You are willing to come here. I am grateful for your appreciation, Your Highness, and I would like to propose a toast to you."

"Lord Jiang, you are joking." Chen Xi raised his eyes and looked around. Everything he saw was filled with splendor and splendor. "If Lord Jiang, this place is considered a humble residence, then what does my palace count for? Is it a beggar's den?"

"

Lady Jiang is not very smart, but her intuition is much more accurate than ordinary people. Even though she still hasn't realized what Chen Xi meant, she still sensed the danger.

"Your Highness, you are joking." Mr. Jiang said hesitantly, "How could your Highness's mansion be a beggar's den?"

As an existence second only to the Queen, the Crown Prince would never be in such a miserable state no matter what. What’s more, it is known to everyone that the Queen favors the Crown Prince. How could the Crown Prince’s life be so miserable?

?

"I didn't think so at first, but now--"

Chen Xi picked up a wine glass and found it was warm and smooth to the touch. He knew it was top quality at first glance. Chen Xi took a closer look and found that it was carved from white jade.

He is just a garrison official in a small town, and his monthly salary is only a little. How can he afford such a large amount of financial resources to buy these things?

Moreover, as far as she knew, Mr. Jiang was born into a poor family and had no so-called family background.

So the question is, where does this money come from?

"Master Jiang's residence is really an eye-opener. Just take a look at this wine glass carved from white jade. It's so skillfully crafted that you can tell it's top quality at a glance. Even I don't have anything like this."

Mr. Jiang didn't know yet that he was in danger. He thought Chen Xi had taken a fancy to the wine glass carved from white jade, and he felt happy.

She originally wanted to please Chen Xi so that she could get along with Chen Xi.

If you are not afraid of morning sun, she will be greedy, but if you are afraid, she will not be greedy.

If a person is greedy, it means that she has a weakness, and she can easily break through the other party's defenses by just giving in to her.

Since the queen likes this thing, what if she gives it away?

Anyway, she has plenty of these things, and even if she doesn't have them anymore, it won't be a waste of time to make them again.

"If your Highness likes it, feel free to take it."

Afraid that Chen Xi would change his mind if he was too late, Mr. Jiang said quickly.

What she didn't notice was that when Chen Xi spoke, the surroundings had become quiet, and the surrounding ministers also stopped talking. The kabuki in the courtyard was also disturbed by the heavy atmosphere, and subconsciously held their breath and stopped.

action.

"Take it?"

Chen Xi repeated nonchalantly, "What Mr. Jiang said is really interesting. You mean to say that I have taken a fancy to your things and plan to rob them by force, right?"

"No, no, no, it's not."

Mr. Jiang knew that it was just a matter of words, but he actually caused such a misunderstanding, so he hurriedly waved his hand and explained.

"I definitely don't mean this."

"No?" Chen Xi frowned, "Are you saying that I have wronged you?"

"No, no." Mr. Jiang shook his head repeatedly, not knowing why Chen Xi lost his temper.

Sure enough, the rumor that the princess is moody is true.

One second he was smiling and saying that he liked the cup in his hand, but the next second he was looking at her with a cold expression, so scared that she didn't dare to look directly.

Mr. Jiang lowered his head and wondered in panic whether he had said something wrong just now, which made Chen Xi suddenly angry.

"What I mean is that if Your Highness does not dislike it, please accept the gift I offer."

If there was anything she said just now that was wrong, it was this sentence that she should take away.

"You are very smart."

In the morning light, he no longer had a straight face and said with a smile.

Mr. Jiang let out a long sigh, wiped the cold sweat from his face that had just been frightened, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you praise me."

"No, no, no," Chen Xi said with a smile, "I always say what I want. This is not a compliment, but a sincere appreciation."

"You are much smarter than my men. At least you know why I am angry. They will only kneel on the ground and beg me to calm down when I am angry."

"Don't this comparison show that you are very smart?"

Master Jiang looked at the smile on Chen Xi's face and thought that Chen Xi really thought she was smart, so he smiled and said to please her.

"That's because they are too stupid to understand His Highness's true thoughts. If it were me, I would definitely be able to understand His Highness's true thoughts."

"Seriously?" Chen Xi looked at her suspiciously.

"nature."

Finally, there is an opportunity to get closer to Chen Xi and climb a high branch. Master Jiang will naturally not let it go easily.

"Well, why don't you guess, what am I thinking about now?"

Chen Xi sat in the first place, looking at Mr. Jiang who had been following him casually, holding his chin with one hand, and said with a playful smile on his face.

"this?"

How could it be possible to guess this without any basis or reminder?

Mr. Jiang's face was filled with confusion. After meeting Chen Xi's eyes that were half-smiling but not smiling, his heart suddenly trembled and he lowered his head.
