After my rebirth, my whole family read my mind, and my father decided to usurp the throne.

"Hopefully, I hope everything goes well."

Song Le'an glanced at his sister who was sleeping in her mother's arms and whispered.

The family members were worried that their daughter (sister) was still sleeping, so they didn't speak any more. They rode the carriage in silence all the way to the entrance of the palace.

The palace was also decorated with lanterns and was very festive. King Kang's family successfully entered the palace and took a seat.

Ye Peizhu held his daughter and looked around calmly.

This year, several princes and their families who were far away from the capital did not return to the capital. This New Year's Eve banquet felt like many people from the royal family were missing.

Perhaps because the old emperor was afraid of being deserted, he invited many ministers and their families to attend this year.

With so many people, if Prince Gong's plan succeeds, it will be a heavy blow to Prince Kang's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Fortunately, their daughter’s voice reminded them!

Before the banquet started, the old emperor said some formal words as usual and let everyone eat and drink to their heart's content.

Ye Peizhu and Kang Wang both remembered the wine their daughter said and tried to drink only the wine in the small pot in front of them.

It happened that the Prime Minister and his wife were sitting opposite King Kang and his wife.

King Kang and the Prime Minister exchanged glances and looked away.

After three rounds of drinking, the wine jug in front of King Kang was empty.

A palace maid came over carrying a small jug filled with wine, pretending to pour wine for King Kang.

King Kang had already arranged for someone to change the wine in advance. He thought the pot of wine was fine, so he waited for the palace maid to pour it for him.

At this moment, Song Jiujiu, who was still sleeping soundly in Ye Peizhu's arms, suddenly woke up, cursing in baby language that adults couldn't understand, and stretching her little arms in the direction of King Kang.

[Daddy, don’t drink this glass of wine! There's something wrong with this drink! 】

Ye Peizhu listened to her daughter's thoughts, deliberately relaxed her arms holding her little body, and leaned in the direction where her daughter stretched out her little arms.

So Song Jiujiu's chubby hand slapped the small wine bottle in the hand of the palace maid who was pouring wine and knocked it to the ground.

【Success! Now it's time for this baby to cry. 】

Song Jiujiu's big black eyes lit up a little, and then she burst into tears.

Ye Peizhu quickly coaxed her daughter, "Jiu'er, don't cry. Does your little hand hurt? Mom, take a look."

Prince Gong, who was watching this scene not far away, clenched his back teeth.

Damn little brat!

My hands are so owed for no reason!

The jug of wine was just knocked over, and it seemed that we could only get another jug ​​of wine.

"This wine was spilled, please bring another one."

King Kang gave instructions to the maid.

Song Jiujiu didn't cry loudly on purpose, so their movements here didn't alarm too many people.

Song Jiujiu howled twice and fell asleep again because she was too tired.

Seeing this, the prime minister's wife Lu Jianan, who was sitting opposite Kang Wang's family, also remembered what the prime minister said to her before entering the palace.

So after another palace maid poured her wine, she deliberately poured the wine in the small glass down her arm into her sleeve robe while raising her head to drink, giving the impression that she had drunk.

Prince Gong, who was also distracted and paying attention here, was finally satisfied when he saw the Prime Minister's wife drinking.

Now I can only ask someone to make another pot of wine for King Kang to drink.

After a while, another palace maid came to pour wine for King Kang. This time King Kang pretended to drink.

After witnessing this scene, Prince Gong was relieved. Because his attention was on Prince Kang, Prince Gong did not notice anything unusual about the maid who poured him wine, so he just drank the wine that the maid poured for him.

Ye Peizhu only planned to let Prince Gong bring trouble to himself, and did not intend to implicate other women. She was relieved when she saw that Prince Gong drank the problematic wine.

Just when she raised her eyes, she saw Mrs. Zheng Guogong leaving the banquet in a low-key manner with the support of her maid. She whispered to Prince Kang, got up and went out with her daughter in her arms.

On New Year's Eve, the night breeze was still a bit cool.

Ye Peizhu wrapped her daughter's quilt tightly, and when she saw Mrs. Zheng Guogong sitting down in the pavilion in the imperial garden, she followed her.

"Madam, what a coincidence."

Mrs. Zheng Guogong looked at Ye Peizhu and smiled politely at her, "Princess Kang, it's unfortunate that you came to see me."

Mrs. Zheng Guogong is in her forties, but she was hit hard by the loss of her legitimate daughter. She looks much older than her peers, and her black hair is mixed with a lot of white hair.

Ye Peizhu smiled sheepishly, "You saw it."

"Sit down, what do you want to say to me?"

Ye Peizhu sat down with her daughter in her arms, and Mrs. Zheng Guogong's eyes unconsciously fell on Song Jiujiu's cute little face.

"Mrs. Duke, I know that your mansion has been looking for the lost legitimate daughter, but there are no clues."

Ye Peizhu's words made Mrs. Zheng Guogong narrow her eyes slightly.

"What does Princess Kang mean?"

"Mrs. Duke, I saw a woman whose facial features are somewhat similar to yours. I suspect that she may be the lost legitimate daughter of your mansion.

Because that woman is an orphan, she is twenty-five years old, and she is in the same situation as your daughter.

The reason why I talked to the Duke's wife about this matter was for no other reason.

I also have a daughter, and I know how hard it is for a mother and a family to lose a child for many years.

I just want to tell the Duke's wife this clue. Whether that woman is your beloved depends on your mansion's investigation. "

Ye Peizhu's performance was very indifferent, without any intention of currying favor with the Duke's wife.

When the Duke's wife heard this, her heart beat faster.

"Who is that woman? Princess Kang, if according to what you said, our Duke's Mansion really finds our daughter because of this, we will thank you."

"She is Prince Gong's concubine. Her name is Jiang Yingying. Some time ago, Prince Gong was assassinated. She blocked an arrow for Prince Gong. She has been favored recently.

But Prince Gong...that's all, wait until your mansion confirms whether Jiang Yingying is your daughter-in-law. "

Ye Peizhu kept half of what he said, successfully arousing the curiosity of the Duke's wife.

Although the Duke's wife was curious, she didn't show it.

"Okay, I will go back and tell the Duke and ask him to send someone to investigate clearly. Thank you for telling me this."

"You're welcome." Ye Peizhu smiled and was about to say something more when he heard a burst of noise coming from the palace banquet not far away.

She guessed that Prince Gong had already brought it upon himself, and her eyes burst with joy, but she quickly calmed down.

"I don't know what happened over there. Madam, can we go over and take a look?"

"Okay, let's go take a look."

The two of them took the maid back to the palace banquet, only to find that most of the people in the palace banquet were missing. Even the old emperor, the queen and several harem ladies were missing.

Ye Peizhu called a palace maid to ask.

"What happened? Where are the people at the banquet? Where did the emperor and his ladies go?"
