One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]

As soon as Yang Yingxue finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent. Many people looked at Baili JinChuan enviously.

This Miss Yang's appearance was fresh and beautiful, and her zither arts were outstanding, making her seem like a knowledgeable person. In addition to her tear-filled and charming appearance, who knew how many people she would envy.

What's more, as a woman, if she took the initiative to ask for the services of the Second Prince, then she must have deep feelings for him and had a soft spot for him.

From the looks of it, the second prince was the true winner of life. He had military merits, a title, and even beauties. Tsk tsk, it makes people jealous!

Yang Yingxue knelt in the great hall. She could not see the expressions of others, and only felt perturbed. Baili Qingfeng merely hesitated for a moment. However, she felt that it had been a hundred years.

"Yang Yingxue, are you sure that you're only requesting to enter the Second Prince's estate to serve the Second Prince?"

"Yes, I ask for Your Majesty's permission."

After pondering for a moment, Baili Qingfeng suddenly let out a laugh. He turned his head to look at the silent Baili Jinchuan, "Jinchuan, what do you think about this matter?"

From the sound of it, they seemed to be teasing the Second Prince, causing many of the people in the surroundings to reveal knowing smiles. This was a good thing, how could the Second Prince not agree to it?

Baili JinChuan looked at Yang Yingxue, who was on the ground, and a ripple appeared in his eyes, "Miss Yang, you entered the Second Prince's Mansion voluntarily?"

Yang Yingxue lifted her head and looked at the man with the cold face, without a trace of warmth. Her entire body trembled with nervousness, and even her voice trembled as she said, "Yes, Yingxue will volunteer to serve Your Highness."

"Serving?" So you want to be a maid? "

Yang Yingxue was stunned for a moment. Then, a pained look flashed in her eyes, "Even as a maid, Yingxue is willing."

Seeing the pain in that pair of eyes, Baili Jin Chuan's heart suddenly trembled. He had the illusion that he was facing Shen Ning Hua. He suddenly raised his sword-like eyebrows as his ice-cold gaze landed on Shen Ninghua.

Shen Ninghua, on the other hand, had her eyes slightly lowered. Her thick eyelashes covered a pair of black pupils, and not a single trace of her emotions could be seen.

He stared intently at Shen Ninghua as he slowly got up and walked in front of Yang Yingxue. Lowering his head, he looked down at Shen Ninghua's somewhat similar face. A sinister light flashed across his eyes.

Yang Yingxue trembled all over, she could not suppress the trembling in her heart, "Second prince..."

The corner of Baili JinChuan's mouth suddenly moved. A trace of a smile appeared on his ice-cold face. It was as if a flower had bloomed on it. In that moment, his mind became confused, "How can I bear to have you serve me, such a beauty?"

Yang Yingxue's face paled, was he going to reject her?

Baili JinChuan raised his head and looked at Baili Qingfeng, bowing as he said, "Father, I wish to take Ying Xue as my secondary wife. I hope that you will agree." Since she was a secondary concubine, she wasn't meant to serve others.

Yang Yingxue was stunned by her words and didn't know how to react in that instant. Her background was too low and her father's position was not that high, becoming the secondary wife was already the highest position. Father Yang was also very happy and inwardly praised her daughter for her ability to judge the situation, now that Baili JinChuan was a prince, this was a huge tree, he had to properly hug it.

Baili Qing Cang laughed, "Alright, I had originally said that I would choose a first wife and two secondary wives for you. Who would've thought that I would have to decide on one during this welcoming feast."

Shen Ninghua didn't have much of an expression on his face, but his heart was extremely restless. His cousin was only secretly fond of Baili JinChuan, and could endure his neglect and neglect. If she were to become his future concubine, would she be willing to do so?

Before a person obtained something, they would be able to bear a lot of things. Once obtained, they would become greedy and always feel that if they paid the price, they would receive something in return.

He hoped that she would be able to keep her true nature. At the very least, she wouldn't lose herself.

"This son thanks royal father."

Baili JinChuan stood up and personally helped Yang Yingxue up. He gave her a gentle smile, "Yingxue, go back to your seat and take a seat. The ground is too cold."

Yang Yingxue's tears fell instantly, but the smile on her face was exceptionally beautiful. Her cheeks were blushing red, "Yes, thank you, Second Highness."

Zhao Hui Ying's expression was always ugly. The gaze he used to look at Yang Yingxue was filled with killing intent.

Lan Lingle, it seems like this was planned by Shen Ninghua and Yang Yingxue. Otherwise, how could she play such an unorthodox song like Lan Lingle, thinking that the killing intent in her eyes was getting stronger and stronger. Could it be that Shen Ninghua knew something and thus came out today to test it out?

It looked like he had to make a move as soon as possible. He couldn't let her expose what happened that year!

All the way until the end of the banquet, the atmosphere was especially good. Baili Qingyuan drank a few more cups of wine, his face slightly flushed, and was directly helped out of the Hall by Zhao Hui Ying.

The steward at the side didn't know what to do. The emperor hadn't said which imperial concubine's palace he wanted to go to, so he didn't dare to ask since the empress dowager was here. This wasn't easy.

The Fang Xue beside Zhao Hui Ying was killed by a staff. Beside her was a re-selected palace maid called Mei Xue.

At this moment, Mei Xue saw the steward's expression and stepped forward smiling, blocking his path. "Sir Steward, the emperor has drank too much today. The Empress is worried that the palace maids might not be able to take care of her properly, so she wants to stay here day and night. Her heart is truly hard to come by, isn't it?"

The steward was stunned for a moment before he nodded his head, "Yes, yes. Lady Meixue is absolutely right."

A smile flashed across Mei Xue's eyes. With a turn of her sleeve, she took out a money bag. Before the steward could react, the money bag was already in his hands.

Zhao Hui Ying brought Baili Qingfeng to Ning Kun Palace and made him lie on the bed. Then, he waved his hand to signal the palace maids to retreat, and personally used a handkerchief to wipe him clean with water.

The strength of the wine that Baili Qingfeng had drunk was greater, coupled with the cold wind that blew all the way here, his consciousness had already become blurry. Feeling the coldness on his face, he slowly opened his eyes. Ye Zichen's vision was hazy, and he suddenly saw Xia Jingyan smiling at him while wiping his face with a handkerchief.

He gripped the hand tightly, so excited that his eyes turned red, "You're here? "You're finally willing to see me?"

Zhao Hui Ying suddenly trembled. Looking at Baili Qingfeng's hazy gaze, he instantly understood something. He probed and asked: "Your majesty, do you know who I am?"

Bai Li Qing Cang was excited, and the hand he was holding Xia Jingyan with tightened: "How could I forget about you … Quiet And Steadfast... All these years, you've never entered my dreams, but you're still blaming me? "

Zhao Hui Ying's mouth was dry, his lips slightly trembled: "How could I dare to blame you? Are you the emperor?"

"Your Majesty? "Jingyan, if possible, Zhen would rather not have this emperor …" As he spoke, he held Zhao Hui Ying's hand to his face. His usually cold eyes were actually filled with tears, "Jingyan, it's been so many years. "I truly miss you …"

Zhao Hui Ying's heart seemed to have been ravaged by a myriad of sharp blades. Looking at Baili Qingfeng, the expression in his eyes constantly changed from love to hate: "Cold underground, how could you be living well? "Your majesty, it's been so many years. Do you have someone you love in your heart?"

Baili Qingfeng suddenly opened his eyes. That gaze caused Zhao Hui Ying's heart to tremble: "Three thousand weak ones and only one weak one. Other than you, why would I fall in love with anyone else?"

Zhao Hui Ying sat stiffly on the bed, the corner of his mouth constantly twitching. He suddenly let out an extremely beautiful smile, and then fiercely pulled his finger from Baili Qingfeng's hand: "You wouldn't fall in love with someone else? What about your queen? That's your wife, the one who accompanied you all the way here! "

Baili Qingfeng did not have the slightest reaction. He had already closed his eyes and fallen asleep.

Zhao Hui Ying suddenly stood up, his fingers tightly holding the silk handkerchief. After a long while, he suddenly threw the handkerchief into the basin and walked out of the dorm in large strides.

Leaning on a pillar in the hall, Zhao Huoying took a deep breath, and it took a while before he managed to suppress the trembling in his heart: "Xia Jingyan! You have been dead for so many years, and yet you still want to occupy his place in his heart, you slut! Bitch! "

"If you die, I won't be able to get even with you, but your daughter is still alive! And now that she's pregnant, I originally wanted to kill her directly, but now that I've changed my mind, I will torture her bit by bit, making her feel worse than death! "

"It makes sense, doesn't it?"

The candle flame in the hall swayed, shining brightly on one side of Zhao Hui Ying's face, while the other side was hidden in the shadows, bringing with it a strange sense of beauty.

Shen Ninghua and Chu Junyi left the Imperial Palace and returned to the Princess' Mansion, frowning and deep in thought.

"Ning Hua, what's wrong?" Chu Junyi asked with concern.

"That Orchid Fragrance might be moving, but it won't cause the emperor and empress to lose their composure."

"What did you think of?"

Shen Ninghua shook his head. "I don't have any leads either."

Chu Junyi helped her sit down and placed her palm against her stomach. "Don't think about it without a clue. I'll send someone to check if there are any secrets."

"Yes." After working so hard for so long, Shen Ninghua felt tired. He fell asleep after leaning against Chu Junyi's body for a while.

Chu Junyi turned her head slightly, ran a finger through the hair on her face, and kissed her forehead. She felt a twinge of heartache as she laid down on the bed.

Before he and Ning Hua were married, he had already secretly found out about the Xia family's matter. In addition to the competition between Shen Ning Hua and Zhao Yunxiang later on, he helped her find evidence and investigated all the way to the Imperial Palace.

Ning Hua's birth mother was extremely proficient at playing the zither. The best song she played was Lan Ling. However, after marrying Shen Dong, she never played the zither again. The last piece she played was Lan Ling music.

The emperor drank too much at the end of the banquet. It was most likely related to this piece of music, so it was time to check it out.

The next day, Shen Ninghua got up and was about to eat breakfast when Hong Ling walked in angrily.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Ninghua suddenly frowned, "Xiao Jingran?"

"Yes, he acted like a master, and even said that... Furthermore, he said that the princess wasn't polite and didn't welcome him even when he knew that his foster father had arrived... "
