Mind Reading: The villain wins after hearing the princess's inner voice

When the general's wife, Mrs. Wu, heard that Prince Yong was staying at her house for dinner, she carefully selected the menu in an orderly manner and arranged for the chef to prepare a variety of dishes.

When Tao Yuwei went to the reception room to eat, the table was already filled with delicious dishes.

The roasted lamb leg and pigeon soup that she had been craving for were emitting an enticing aroma.

Tao Zhihong warmly invited Xiao Lichen to take a seat, and Wu and Tao Yuwei sat down together.

At the dinner table, although Xiao Lichen spoke very little, he was able to make Tao Zhihong and his wife smile every time.

Tao Yuwei's mind was not on him.

She sat aside and ate the roasted lamb leg with relish.

[This lamb leg is tender and not too dry, it is my favorite! ]

【Ah, the pigeon soup is so delicious. 】

【I like all the food tonight. 】

Throughout the entire meal, all Xiao Lichen and Tao Zhihong heard was her praise for the delicious food.

Xiao Lichen secretly observed Tao Zhihong and his wife, and did not notice any reaction from them when faced with Tao Yuwei's thoughts.

It seems that he is the only one who can hear what Princess Anle is thinking.

After the banquet, Tao Yuwei returned to her yard with a full stomach.

Xiao Lichen left the general's mansion disappointedly with two guards.

At the dinner table, given Princess Anle's love for him, he thought he could get some clues about the person behind the murder of his grandfather. Unexpectedly, her whole mind was focused on eating.

He thought about interrogating the other party directly, but he was afraid of alerting the enemy and being discovered by the person behind the scenes.

Forget it, I'll go to the eldest prince's house to attend the birthday party, and I'll be able to find out who the murderer behind the scenes is.

Two days later.

Tao Yuwei and another maid Bai Shuang rushed to the eldest prince's residence to attend the birthday banquet.

Her second cousin Tao Xueqi, dressed up beautifully early in the morning, was waiting for her in the carriage outside the door.

When she got in the car, the other party kept praising her for her good dress.

Tao Yuwei responded, closed her eyes and continued to sleep.

By the time they arrived at the eldest prince's mansion, more than half an hour had passed.

The person in charge of entertaining the guests was the eldest prince's wife Fu Yuandie.

The eldest prince's biological mother, Concubine De, was born into the Fu family of the Ministry of War.

Fu Yuandie is the cousin of the eldest prince Xiao Yuanjing.

As soon as she entered the door, Tao Yuwei found a quiet place and stayed there.

She ate too much last night and couldn’t fall asleep in the middle of the night, so she wanted to have a good sleep.

Seeing that she was drowsy, Tao Xueqi didn't want to waste such a good opportunity, so she took her maid and went to meet the noble ladies in the court.

Xiao Lichen brought his men to the eldest prince's mansion, causing quite a stir.

Everyone in the imperial city knew that the extremely noble Prince Yong had been a promising young man and was the apprentice of the Great Zhou God of War. He followed the other side into battle and trained at the border for five years.

It’s just a pity that he inexplicably fell ill with a strange disease and became a disabled person.

Normally, he never attends various banquets hosted by the powerful.

His maternal grandfather, Duke Zhuguo, and his entire family were planning to rebel, and when there was irrefutable evidence, they were all killed.

Even so, no one dared to look down on him.

Since he was born, he has been loved by His Majesty and the Queen Mother.

His biological father, Prince Yong, holds real power and controls one-third of the military power of the Great Zhou.

When the eldest prince Xiao Yuanjing saw him, he personally brought people forward to entertain him.

Xiao Lichen took the opportunity to leave while the eldest prince was busy, and looked for Tao Yuwei everywhere in the prince's mansion.

Until he saw her sleeping on a stone table in an empty pavilion.

Didn’t this person say that he wanted to come to the eldest prince’s mansion to see the power of the person who murdered my grandfather?

Why are you taking your maid here to sleep?

Qingzhu pushed the wheelchair and entered the pavilion at Xiao Lichen's signal.

How could he know that before going to bed, Tao Yuwei had already forgotten about the plan of eating the melon.

"Princess Anle, it's not good to come to the banquet and sleep in seclusion!"

A clear voice sounded in my ears.

Tao Yuwei was very unhappy about being disturbed.

Sitting up, he saw the handsome face in the wheelchair and his eyes suddenly lit up.

She has long eyebrows, a face as white as jade, and charming peach blossom eyes that are deep, cold and mysterious.

The low-key dark black brocade robe with gold patterns could not hide the majestic and noble aura he exuded.

[The short-lived ghost is so good-looking that it caught my eye. ]

[The dark beauty is strong and miserable, but in the end she can’t defeat the male protagonist. 】

Tao Yuwei looked at Xiao Lichen with admiration for several times, then stood up and left the pavilion.

Who is the male lead?

Xiao Lichen looked at her departing back, thoughtful.

"Qingzhu, follow Princess Anle!" Xiao Lichen immediately followed Tao Yuwei to the Hundred Flowers Garden for entertaining guests.

At this moment, a four-corner table was set up in the Hundred Flowers Garden of the Great Emperor's Palace.

It was filled with snacks and tea.

Surrounded by flowers.

The royal family, led by Concubine Gao's daughter, the Third Princess, and the young men and women from various mansions gathered together.

Under the chairmanship of the eldest prince's wife, men and women sat together without distinction.

Everyone presented birthday gifts to the eldest prince and had lunch.

Someone suggested that everyone write a poem on the theme of flowers.

The prize for the female guest was a ruby ​​plum blossom hairpin offered by Huo Dongyao, the eldest daughter of the Minister of Works.

The prize for the male guests was a rare copy of a book from the previous dynasty provided by the fourth prince Xiao Xiaocheng.

Tao Yuwei sat at a table, just eating and drinking, and had no intention of participating in their activities.

As expected of the eldest prince’s residence, the snacks served were exquisite and pleasing to the eye, and tasted so delicious that you couldn’t stop eating them.

She doesn't know how to recite ancient poetry. She came here today just to eat delicious food and watch the fun.

"Princess Anle, everyone is writing poetry, and you are the only one eating. It's not appropriate."

Huo Xiujie, the son of the Minister of Industry, looked at her and said in a bad tone, "Princess Anle is so majestic. You are not going to hurt me on the spot just because I tell you the truth, right?"

The others who were about to write poems all looked sideways and cast their eyes on Tao Yuwei.

Tao Yuwei put down the cake in her hand, ignored Huo Xiujie, and smiled back at everyone, "You all know that I haven't read any books, so there's no need for me to write poetry."

"Princess Anle, we are here to attend the eldest prince's birthday banquet. Let's recite poems and write couplets together. It will be lively. May I ask what you can do?" Huo Dongyao stood up slowly and asked with disdainful eyes.

Good man, she saw through it and realized that he was deliberately looking for trouble.

The brother and sister of the Huo family are seeking revenge for the Seventh Princess.

After all, the Seventh Princess was raised by Concubine Huo, so in the eyes of the Huo brother and sister, she is considered one of their own.

"Princess Anle, don't act alone when you come here. Show everyone what you are capable of." The third princess spoke in person with a cold face.

The other people present looked at Tao Yuwei with eyes full of the desire to watch the fun.

Princess Anle is very arrogant, and they can't afford to offend her openly. But now the Third Princess has come out in person to embarrass her. Does she still dare to beat the Third Princess arrogantly?

"This princess is proficient in the art of recognizing people by face. Who among you would like to verify it?" Tao Yuwei asked calmly to the favored third princess.

Want to embarrass her, so that they won't cry for a while.

Xiao Lichen sat next to Tao Yuwei and looked at her curiously.

She cursed him in her heart, saying that he was a short-lived ghost. She was indeed poisoned and was predicted by the great doctor of the Great Zhou Dynasty that she would not live more than three years.

Could it be that she really possesses such magical powers?
