"Your Highness, it's time to return to the palace again. Your Highness should take care of yourself."

Youxia Busheng got up from the bed delicately, looked at the prince lovingly, and wanted to reach out to touch his face, but finally took it back with restraint. At the same time, there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.

She always said, "...I wish we could meet each other before we were married."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out. Qin Junze wanted to reach out to grab her in a daze, but he saw her figure had already crossed the threshold and left like a gust of wind, leaving only the faint fragrance lingering around him.

Qin Junze reached out from the bed to pick up the handkerchief she had dropped, carefully folded it and stuffed it into his chest.

Since the position of the prince is not secure, he will not sit on it!

As long as his father dies, he is the legitimate heir! He wants this country! He wants to rescue his mother from Kunning Palace! He also wants to take Youxia as his own!

As for the Yun family and King Xuan...

When he becomes the emperor and has the power of life and death, and life and death can be a matter of just a word, why bother with elaborate designs?!

Qin Junze took out the letter that he and the Queen had considered from his sleeve and tore it into pieces bit by bit, his eyes becoming fierce and firm bit by bit.

——

On the day of the crowning ceremony of the second prince, hundreds of officials congratulated him and all the people celebrated together.

His coronation ceremony was held with great fanfare, because apart from the prince, he was the only prince with sound limbs among the current emperor's heirs.

Emperor Qin Cang gave full authority over the coronation ceremony to Jingbin, quite intent on returning his favor to Jingbin.

In the emperor's own opinion, he only cared about the emperor's heir, but in the eyes of others, it was unclear what they thought.

In the evening, the emperor invited hundreds of officials to celebrate the second prince and held a grand and lively dinner.

As the princess, Yun Xihe naturally received the invitation.

At the same time, Uncle Zhong also took Yunlie's instructions and made a special trip to the princess's mansion to invite Yunxi and the family members who were the Yun family that day to go with him.

But Yun Xihe declined in the end, "Uncle Zhong, go back and tell dad that I will not attend the banquet in the name of the Yun family. Remember not to let Yun Wangshu enter the palace."

This birthday banquet is a trap dug for the prince, and he can only catch turtles in the urn.

For Yun Wangshu, who is so shallow, silly and sweet, it is safer to stay at home.

Uncle Zhong brought the words back to the Yun Mansion. Yun Wangshu nodded in front of Mrs. Yun, "Grandma, Yun Xihe has already said that I will not be allowed to enter the palace! I will not enter the palace!"

Mrs. Yun: "..."

That’s all, after all, someone else’s daughter only enters the palace to be seen by the second prince. If Wangshu doesn’t want to go, then she, an old woman, won’t join in the fun!

Yunlie sighed, if he doesn't want to go, then he won't go. It will save him a lot of trouble!

The twilight is gathering, and the glow is gradually dissipating.

Thousands of lights in the palace were lit one after another, and the majestic palace became more brilliant and gorgeous against the backdrop of the lights.

Civil and military officials gathered with their families at the gate of the palace. There were all kinds of sedans, carriages, and beautifully dressed female family members, and the fragrance of flowers overflowed.

If they met someone they knew well, they would carry them all the way to the palace, chatting and laughing.

Of course, there will be some overt and covert fighting. The beauty of your family's beautiful lady is worthy of a good son-in-law, and the beautiful lady of your family's manners will definitely find her husband.

When Yun Xihe appeared, he attracted the attention of many people.

She always looked cold and indifferent. She didn't dress up much. She only wore the court clothes that fit her status as a princess, showing her natural dignity and nobility.

Concubine Jing arranged the palace banquet in the imperial garden, where the cool summer night breeze and the fragrance of flowers came, which was very pleasant.

The male and female guests sat across from each other in separate seats, and in a large open space in the middle, there was singing and dancing.

After I sat down, there were a lot of looks from around me, but no one came forward to strike up a conversation.

In the past, when she was the eldest daughter of the Yun family, those women who liked to have fun in front of her were very annoying. Now that she has become the princess of Xihe, those women seem to be unfamiliar with her at this moment.

With so many female relatives, she felt dazzled. She looked across the way and saw the prince at the male guests' table, stroking his wine glass with a look of victory on his face.

She relaxed and waited quietly for his performance.

The second prince on the side had already stood up with a wine glass in hand, accepting the congratulatory words from the officials, smiling and laughing.

Under the heavy light and shadow, Yun Xihe saw Qin Xuanling opposite him again.

He was dressed in black clothes and seemed to blend in with the night. The corner where he sat was inconspicuous. The lights around him were not bright, so you couldn't spot him without paying attention.

The night was dark, and Yun Xihe didn't know why his eyesight was so good. Maybe he felt that his eyes were always on her.

She immediately noticed that Qin Xuanling raised his glass to him, then put it to his lips and took a sip.

The banquet became more and more lively. The emperor held Concubine Jing in his arms and kept laughing with the second prince. The fireworks that had been prepared earlier began to bloom in the sky, and the actors on the stage were still singing.

Everyone's eyes didn't know where to look.

In the commotion, someone inadvertently passed by Yun Xihe and touched her hand as if nothing. By the time she reacted, the person had disappeared into the crowd and she could only vaguely smell the familiar scent.

Ambergris.

She rubbed the extra piece of paper in her hand, which had a few sharp words written on it - come to the side hall of Cining Palace.

Needless to say, that is Qin Xuanling's handwriting.

Yun Xihe put away the note calmly.

Qin Xuanling is so brave. He actually dares to have a private conversation with her in the palace?!

Moreover, the prince planned to attack the emperor at this birthday banquet. If he, the person responsible for guarding, did not protect the safety of the emperor, he had to see her at this time?!

However, Yun Xihe still managed to slip out of the crowd quietly.

She had walked countless times on the way to the side hall of Cining Palace, and not long after, she stood at the entrance of the palace.

There was no one guarding the side hall. When she stepped into the courtyard, she saw that the door was also ajar, as if waiting for her to enter.

As if sensing her arrival, the lights in the room immediately turned on, and the familiar voice sounded, "Come in."

Yun Xihe seemed to be out of control, reaching out and pushing the door open.
