Xiao Yinhan took a step forward, blocking Jiang Tang's figure behind him.
"Personal maid? I've never heard of it before? Could it be that there are not enough palace maids?"
The second prince smiled and teased Xiao Yinhan, winking at Lao Liu beside him.
Xiao Yinhan's eyebrows were tired and he rarely kept a straight face: "I'm used to it, but others won't be able to use it smoothly."
Naturally, this term refers to Jiang Tang.
As soon as these words came out, people who were not so curious couldn't help but look at Jiang Tang.
I tried to see the girl's face clearly, but her head was lowered, like looking at flowers through fog, and I couldn't see clearly at all.
The second prince intended to say something more, but Xiao Yinhan had already left with others.
This old man wanted to leave, but no one dared to stop him.
Everyone could only watch the two people leave, but as soon as he left, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
Xiao Shiyi muttered: "Fourth brother is really...I can't help but feel nervous every time he is around."
The people on the side laughed: "Look at your future."
Then he added without waiting for his retort: "I'm different, I get nervous whenever I hear his voice."
The people on the side laughed together when they heard this.
The sixth prince looked at the distant figure and smiled: "It's quite interesting that fourth brother can actually bring a woman into the palace."
"Ah."
Suddenly there was a sneer in his ears, and he raised his head in confusion to face a face whose emotions were unclear.
-
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Your servant will wait here obediently."
The dinner was about to begin, but Xiao Yinhan suddenly changed his mind and took Jiang Tang to a side hall to wait, instead of taking her to the banquet.
This was exactly what Jiang Tang wanted, and he agreed without hesitation.
Xiao Yinhan quietly observed the girl's expression and found that she had a natural look and a sweet smile, without any dissatisfaction. He was inexplicably relieved.
This emotion came so quickly that he couldn't catch it for a while, but he didn't think much about it and said softly:
"When you are tired, go inside and rest. There is no need to stand around waiting. I will ask the palace servants to bring you some food."
After he finished speaking, the little girl's eyes lit up, she grabbed his hand like a baby, shook it a few times, and praised in a voice as sweet as honey: "Your Majesty, you are so kind."
The girl's passionate and sincere dependence on her admirer was very helpful to the man. He gently pinched her little face and then turned around and left.
Halfway through, Xiao Yinhan accidentally stopped and looked back, and sure enough he saw the girl standing there quietly staring at him.
At that moment, an indescribable feeling surged in his chest. He frowned slightly and left decisively.
[Xiao Yinhan was deeply moved, strategy index +20]
Jiang Tang raised his eyebrows in a warm voice, but said nothing and turned around and walked into the hall.
The banquet was held in the courtyard in front of the Qianqing Palace. There were many civil and military officials, princes and princesses, children of the clan, and concubines in the harem.
Xiao Yinhan sat in his own seat, except for occasionally responding to toasts and congratulations, but he was a little absent-minded.
For some reason, what he kept thinking about was the girl he left in the side hall.
"I would have brought him here if I had known earlier..."
"Fourth brother, what did you say?"
The eighth prince was sitting next to him. He thought Xiao Yinhan was talking to him, so he asked again.
"nothing."
Xiao Yinhan didn't want to talk. From time to time, people came over to toast. Although he was indifferent, he drank.
In the middle of the banquet, Emperor Huaiwen became very popular with poetry and thought of composing a poem. Then he ordered all officials to compose a poem with the theme of "Moon".
Xiao Yinhan was always not interested in these things, so he temporarily left the scene in the name of sobering up.
The side hall where Jiang Tang was housed was not too far away. At this time, the palace people were waiting for the dinner in Qianqing Palace, and no one was encountered along the way.
He returned to the side hall, but when he entered, he didn't see the figure who was supposed to be there. He frowned and was about to call someone, when he heard a panicked voice: "Your Majesty!"
The next moment, a soft cloud rushed into his arms, and the girl hugged his strong waist and shivered in his arms.
Xiao Yinhan's dissatisfaction turned into surprise, and the hand that was about to push her away fell back on her shoulder: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Tang raised his head, his beautiful face seemed to be filled with tears: "Your Majesty."
"You come with me."
She withdrew from the man's arms first, then took his hand and walked inside.
Xiao Yinhan was even more confused and followed in.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered, he saw a female body lying in the corner, and it looked like she was dressed as a palace maid.
"what happened?"
"It was the slave who knocked him unconscious."
Jiang Tang's whole body was shaking when he spoke, and Xiao Yinhan realized belatedly that the girl's hands were so cold.
"Just now, I wanted to go to bed and take a nap, but suddenly I heard someone talking outside."
Jiang Tang recalled what happened just now, his face still full of fear: "Someone wants to harm the prince."
Xiao Yinhan followed her gaze and looked at the palace maid on the ground: "They want to drug the palace, and then the palace maid crawls, crawls..."
"Climbing into bed."
She couldn't say that word for a long time, so Xiao Yinhan snatched it away.
His eyes were extremely cold, his expression was ruthless, and rage began to build up in his chest: "Come on..."
"Your Majesty!"
Jiang Tang raised his voice and interrupted him: "These people are obviously here well prepared. If you call them directly, I'm afraid you will alert the snake and the people behind them may take the opportunity to run away!"
The fierceness in Xiao Yinhan's brows has not disappeared, and he is still shocked when he looks at her: "What do you want to say?"
Jiang Tang slowly squeezed his hand, his eyes not evading: "Wait... wait until the mastermind behind the scenes reveals himself."
In the original work, the male protagonist was also furious and killed the palace maid when he discovered she was climbing the wall.
But this is the palace, and his violent behavior has attracted much ridicule from the clan. Instead of finding out the mastermind behind it, he has been exploited by people with intentions, implying that he is inhumane.
This is a great shame and humiliation for the arrogant male protagonist, but he still wants to protect the original heroine and is unwilling to favor others and use facts to break the rumors.
I can only be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis and suffer the consequences myself.
Because of this, his character became more twisted and perverted, and later he even killed many women in the backyard just to vent his anger, which made his reputation worse.
The reason why Jiang Tang entered the palace tonight was to reverse this situation for him.
"My lord, don't you want to know who is so bold as to frame you?"
Xiao Yinhan originally wanted to say that there were too many people in the palace who wanted to frame him.
But looking at the girl's distressed and nervous eyes, she subconsciously swallowed it back.
In this girl's heart, the prince is omnipotent.
Xiao Yinhan didn't want to break her understanding, and the dark color in his eyes changed. Finally, he chose to agree.
"Okay, I will see with my own eyes who wants to die so much!"
"Ah sneeze!"
Someone at the banquet suddenly sneezed hard. He said a few perfunctory words when the brothers next to him expressed concern. When his eyes fell on the seat opposite that had been empty for a long time, he looked away again.
