During the banquet, Li Bingting finally showed up.

Mrs. Li grabbed her and asked whispered: "Where have you gone? You can't find me if I send someone everywhere. I heard that the eldest prince has come, why didn't I see anyone else?"

"He should have left!" Li Bingting was in a low mood.

Mrs. Li browsed, a little dissatisfied, and complained in a low voice: "The etiquette is too bad. I don't know if I come to the door to ask for the gift."

"My father has seen him. He also gave him a generous gift." Li Bingting couldn't help but speak for the eldest prince Xiao Chengye.

Mrs. Li snorted coldly, "The girl is outgoing, it turns out. She started to speak for him before she got married."

Li Bingting opened her mouth, "I, mother, I feel a little uncomfortable and want to go back to my room to rest."

Mrs. Li glared, "Today's banquet, all the prominent people in the capital have come. What kind of morality is it for you to leave at this time? Haven't you even said where you went before? Could it be that you secretly went to see His Highness the Great Prince?"

Li Bingting did not deny it.

Mrs. Li secretly pinched her, "Hello, please treat the guests well, be polite."

Li Bingting nodded and responded.

She cheered up and greeted the ladies from all over the world.

When she toasted Yan Yunqi, she lost the hostility she had when she first met, and instead felt a little embarrassed.

Yan Yunqi didn't understand at all. The other party changed quickly and told her not to be able to come back to her senses.

When someone walked away, she quietly muttered to Yan Yunge, "Fourth Sister, have you noticed that Miss Li is a little strange?"

Yan Yunge looked at Li Bingting's back. It would be strange if she was very happy.

The fiancé almost killed her, saying how happy she was and how she could laugh.

As expected, Li Bingting was hesitating and struggling in her heart, whether to marry His Highness the eldest prince.

"Sister Four, do you know something?"

When Yan Yunqi saw Yan Yunge's eyes, she knew that things were not simple and something must have happened.

Yan Yunge gestured for a moment, ‘Let’s talk about it when you go back!’

Yan Yunqi nodded, "You must tell me when you go back, I'm so curious."

...

After having a banquet and listening to two scenes, we met a group of wealthy ladies and ladies.

Before dark, I set off and returned home.

Xiao had been socializing for a day and was tired. He wanted to go back to the room to rest, but when he learned that Yan Yunge had gossip to say, he immediately became energetic.

Yan Yunqi urged: "Fourth sister, tell me quickly, what's going on with Li Bingting?"

Yan Yunge didn't keep it in a silence, she picked up the pen and wrote: "The eldest prince did not want to marry Li Bingting. He said that the Li family was dragging him down and asked Li Bingting to find a way to break the engagement. When the two quarreled, the eldest prince wanted to strangle Li Bingting to death. He probably thought that Li Bingting would be able to get rid of the marriage if he died."

"What then?" Yan Yunqi was very excited. It was such a big melon, but unfortunately I forgot to prepare melon seeds and peanuts.

To eat melons, you have to use melon seeds and peanuts, or a hot pot meal.

That is the correct way to eat melons.

Yan Yunge continued to write: "Then I knocked the two people out, and Li Bingting's maid took the man away. As for how His Highness the eldest prince was going on later, I don't know."

"What? Fourth Sister, you actually knocked both of you out of here?"

Yan Yunqi beat her chest and stamped her feet. She was knocked out, so how could she eat the melon?

It’s a pity that such a big melon has no follow-up.

It is actually OK to knock one out.

Xiao was not as excited as Yan Yunqi. She asked calmly: "Yunge, you see clearly. The eldest prince really wants to strangle Li Bingting to death?"

Yan Yunge focuses on the key points.

This matter is absolutely true, she can see it clearly.

Xiao asked again: "You didn't tell me about this?"

Yan Yunge shook his head.

She had a tight mouth, so of course she wouldn't say it out.

Xiao said, "Fortunately, you took action in time to stop His Highness the Great Prince. It is right for you to knock the two out. Anyone who saw you clearly at that time would be unfavorable for you."

After a pause, she said again: "I just think that the eldest prince lacks responsibility. I didn't expect that he still had the courage to kill people, but he was his fiancée. The eldest prince is a cowardly but cruel person. He wants to retire the Li family's marriage, but he has no courage to come forward, so he has to let Li Bingting pretend to be sick and die to escape. But he has never considered how harmful it would be to a girl's family.

In the future, you will meet His Highness the Great Prince and stay away from him. Especially Yun Qi, you will marry into the royal family next year. If you look up and see him, don’t provoke him, but don’t be afraid of him. If he dares to be unfavorable to you, just fight back. If others are cowardly, they will be beaten. If he makes any small moves behind his back, let the second prince come forward to deal with him."

Yan Yunqi asked, "Can the Second Prince deal with His Highness the Great Prince?"

Xiao smiled and said, "Don't underestimate the Second Prince. The Second Prince has the ability to convince Empress Tao and ask His Majesty to marry you. It can be seen that he is a capable person. You must know that few people can change Empress Tao's decision. Even His Highness, the Third Prince, does not have the ability. The Second Prince has done what others can't do. This is his strength. Let him deal with His Highness the Great Prince, a small matter.

In addition, don’t disclose the matter of His Highness the Great Prince trying to kill Li Bingting. We don’t fight against the Tao family, but we don’t have to increase the bargaining chips for Empress Tao. However, Yun Qi will have the chance to meet His Highness the Second Prince next time, she can reveal this to him. Remember, you can only disclose it to His Highness the Second Prince.”

"Why is this?" Yan Yunqi was very confused.

Xiao said carefully: "If I read it right, the Second Prince and Empress Tao may not be the same as each other."

Mother and son centrifugation!

This is a big deal!

Yan Yunqi peeked at Yan Yunge.

Yan Yunge nodded at her with her eyes encouraging.

Yan Yunqi then said boldly: "Mother, today, my daughter met His Highness the Second Prince in the Li family."

Xiao was surprised, "I didn't expect that the Second Prince would attend the banquet of the Li family."

Yan Yunqi was a little hesitant, "The Second Prince seems to have the idea of ​​competing for the position of crown prince."

Xiao's expression was stunned, "He wants to compete for the position of crown prince?"

Yan Yunqi focused heavily, "Although he didn't say it clearly, what he said revealed such an idea."

Xiao suddenly laughed, "No wonder I saw that he and Empress Tao were not on the same side. I was curious about why. So that's it! So that's it! Everything makes sense."

"Do Empress Tao know that the Second Prince has the idea of ​​competing for the crown prince?" Yan Yunqi suddenly asked.

Xiao thought for a moment, "Empress Tao probably doesn't know. As the saying goes, "The light is dark. His Highness, the Second Prince, has been too low-key in recent years. He has almost no sense of existence except your marriage. Such a sick prince who does not participate in political affairs, does not form cliques for personal gain, does not interact with court officials, and does not go out. Who can believe that he has the intention to seize the throne? In other words, we have just come to the capital, and the so-called bystanders are clear, and they have no fixed impression of him, but can see through him."

Yan Yunqi joked: "The fourth sister also asked me to work hard to be the Empress Dowager."

When Xiao heard this, he was stunned at first, and then laughed.

After laughing, she said, "This is a good idea."

Yan Yunge looked proud.

Even my mother agreed with her idea, which shows that this matter is possible.

Xiao continued: "Since the second prince has the idea of ​​seizing the crown prince, we might as well help him get angry. There is no need to wait for the future when the eldest prince tries to kill Li Bingting. I will send someone to tell the second prince tonight whether to use this matter and how to use this matter. He will make his own decisions, and we will only provide information."

...

There are many talented people in Xiao's hands.

Send someone to secretly go to the Second Prince's Mansion to convey the message, a trivial matter.

The second prince asked the person who was passing the message to bring a word "Thank you"!

Xiao asked the guard who passed the message, "Did Your Highness say something else?"

"Report to Your Highness, the second prince said that you should not act rashly before the New Year, and wait for everything after the New Year."

"So, the court will make big moves after the New Year?"

"I don't know."

Xiao said, "From now on, you will be responsible for contacting the Second Prince's Mansion and be confidential."

"Subordinate to obey the order!"

...

late at night!

Xingqing Palace!

Emperor Yongtai has not yet rested.

The eunuch Sun Bangnian personally served Emperor Yongtai.

He saw the opportunity and said carefully: "Report to Your Majesty, I heard a message about His Highness today. I don't know whether to say it or not."

"Old thief, you have spoken, what else can you say?" Emperor Yongtai teased.

Sun Bangnian said carefully: "I heard that the eldest prince tried to kill Li Bingting to break the engagement. He was knocked out of the way and failed."

Emperor Yongtai's face darkened, "Is this serious?"

"Eighty-mostly true."
