royal husband

As the name suggests, the Longevity Banquet is Ying Zhengjing's birthday banquet, so no one dared to mention anything that would make Ying Zhengjing unhappy at the banquet, and it was a happy and harmonious scene.

Ying Ziheng, who managed to temporarily lift the confinement order through the Wanshou Banquet, suddenly stood up and said flatteringly, "Father, my son respects you."

"Ah."

After all, Ying Ziheng is still the prince, no matter how angry Ying Zhengjing is, he should save face for him and agree.

Ying Ziheng accepted it as soon as he saw it, sat down with the opportunity, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

That's great, my uncle said that if my father is willing to drink the wine I toasted, it means there is still room for turning around. As long as I act more carefully in the future, my father will definitely not blame me.

His Royal Highness...

From the beginning of the Wanshou Banquet to now, Li Ruoyan's gaze has never left Ying Ziheng, a gaze that wants to imprint Ying Ziheng's appearance deeply in her heart.

"Cough cough."

Wei Shiwan pretended to cough, which instantly brought Li Ruoyan back to her senses.

"mother?"

"Yan'er, pay attention to your words and deeds."

"But……"

Seeing that Li Ruoyan still wanted to defend herself, Wei Shiwan simply motioned to Li Ruoyan and said, "Look at the ladies around you."

"They? Uh..."

Li Ruoyan followed Wei Shiwan's line of sight, only to realize that she is not the only one who wants to be a princess, but other noble ladies are also eyeing her.

"Yan'er, you are looking at Concubine Chungui."

I saw that at this moment, Concubine Chun was also secretly observing the noble ladies from various families, shaking her head in disappointment from time to time.

Li Ruoyan was startled and said, "Mother, Concubine Chun, this is..."

"Of course she is helping the prince to find a candidate for the princess." Wei Shiwan lowered her voice and analyzed, "The prince is not young and has never been married. Concubine Chun seems to be in a hurry, and wants to take advantage of this longevity banquet to make an appointment for the prince. Crown Princess, Yan'er, you must seize this opportunity."

"Ah."

Li Ruoyan nodded solemnly, and immediately sat upright.

Li Ruoyan's goal is to become the crown princess?

After hearing the conversation between Wei Shiwan and Li Ruoyan just now, Li Siyuan couldn't help gasping.

Because before this, Li Siyuan didn't even know the existence of this matter.

As for the reason why Wei Shiwan didn't avoid Li Siyuan this time, it's very simple, because Wei Shiwan and the others' calculation was only one step away, and Wei Shiwan didn't think that Li Siyuan could pose a threat at all.

Well, this girl is not bad either...

Shen Qianxue observed the noble ladies around her from time to time, trying to find a suitable candidate among these noble ladies.

Come on.

Shen Qianxue was interested in Shen Ningyu at first, but later she saw that Ying Ziheng also liked Shen Ningyu, so she secretly mentioned it to Ying Zhengjing without telling Ying Ziheng. Candidates.

the other side.

Ying Xichen, who was veiled, motioned Shen Ningyu to look at Li Jin, and said shyly, "Ningyu, that's him."

"Fifth princess, you said... you said you liked... the person you liked... Li Shizi?" Shen Ningyu opened her eyes in disbelief, unable to believe what she was hearing now.

"Well, speaking of it, I met Li Shizi at Yunling Temple, it's really fate."

Ying Xichen lowered his head shyly.

"Fifth princess, didn't you tell me before that you have always had someone you like in your heart, how could...how could..."

"The person I've always liked is Li Shizi..." Ying Xichen interrupted Shen Ningyu, and took advantage of the opportunity to tell Shen Ningyu his love for Li Jin over the years.

"..."

Shen Ningyu was silent, with the same expression as if he had eaten a fly.

Shen Ningyu has always known that Ying Xichen has someone in his heart that he has liked for a long time, but he never thought that the person Ying Xichen likes is the same as himself.

Ying Xishen noticed that Shen Ningyu's complexion was different, and asked worriedly, "Ningyu, what's wrong with you?"

"No...it's nothing... Fifth Princess, I just remembered something else, excuse me first." Shen Ningyu bowed hurriedly and left without waiting for Ying Xichen to respond.

Ning Yu, what happened?

Seeing Shen Ningyu's background gradually disappearing, Ying Xichen was at a loss.

……

Li Jin looked around the banquet, suddenly put down the teacup in his hand, and said invitingly, "Seventh prince, the emperor has already left, and the longevity banquet is almost over, why don't we go for a walk?"

"it is good."

Ying Yuan didn't like this kind of false banquet at all, now that Li Jin proposed to go for a walk, Ying Yuan would naturally not refuse.

Not a moment.

The two walked and came to the imperial garden.

"Seventh Prince, have you read the book sent by His Highness the Queen these days?"

"I've been watching it all the time."

"Really?" Li Jin raised his eyebrows, and suddenly met Shang Yingyuan's gaze, and asked, "Does the Seventh Prince regret agreeing to the emperor to go to Zhuzhou with me?"

Ying Yuan shook his head without thinking, "Never, but you, Li Jin, why are you asking such a question all of a sudden?"

"It's nothing, I suddenly thought of it and asked."

Li Jin smiled, but did not answer directly.

"I don't believe it, you're not the type to ask such questions for no reason."

"You'll find out later."

"Can't you tell me now?"

"No."

"Li..."

"Third Brother, I have something I want to talk to you alone, is that okay?" Just when Ying Yuan wanted to ask why, Li Siyuan suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, abruptly interrupting Ying Yuan's unfinished words.

"Yes." Li Jin seemed to have noticed that Li Siyuan was following secretly, and immediately said to Yingyuan to go and return, and walked to the other side with Li Siyuan.

"Li Jin, I...I want you to help me once." Li Siyuan straightforwardly stated his purpose for coming to Li Jin this time.

"help you?"

Li Jin raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Although Li Jin changed some things, which led to changes in the established future, Li Jin still never imagined that one day Li Siyuan would ask him to help.

"Mother will help Li Ruoyan become the princess tonight, and I want to replace her."

"..."

Li Jin fell silent.

Li Jin knew from the beginning that it was not easy for Li Siyuan to ask her for help, but she did not expect that Wei Shiwan's plan would be involved.

boom.

Li Siyuan suddenly knelt heavily on the ground, "Li Jin, please help me just this once, just once, if this happens, I, Li Siyuan, owe you a favor."

"The queen concubine and the others are not your relatives? Why are you so decisive?"

"They don't deserve it."

Li Siyuan's four short words contained long-standing resentment towards Wei Shiwan and the others.

"I'm sorry, but if that's the reason, I can't help you."

Li Jin thought for a while, but still refused to help Li Siyuan.

Li Jin has memories of his previous life, and knows that Li Siyuan is not as pitiful as he appears on the surface, so he doesn't want to lie in this muddy water.

"Li Jin, if you agree to help me, I will not only owe you a favor, but I will also tell who killed the former princess. What do you think of this deal?" Li Siyuan moved out of Gu Rulan directly.

mother?

Li Jin was stunned in surprise, but soon came back to his senses, "So, you have evidence that the step-by-step concubine harmed my mother?"

"Yes."

Li Siyuan nodded.

However, compared to Li Jin's stunned, Li Siyuan was more shocked when Li Jin knew that Gu Rulan's accident was related to Wei Shiwan.

"Okay, I promise you."

Although Li Jin still didn't believe Li Siyuan, but when it came to Gu Rulan, Li Jin didn't want to just miss it.

With Li Jin's consent, Li Siyuan finally had a chance to catch his breath.Immediately afterwards, Li Siyuan told Li Jin what he had just heard at the longevity banquet.

"Are they going to act tonight?"

"Yes."

"You and I go to find the Seventh Prince. You still need the Seventh Prince's assistance in the matter you mentioned."

After finishing speaking, Li Jin walked forward.

Li Siyuan hurriedly followed, "Third brother, thank you."

"You don't have to thank me, we just get what we need." After leaving these words, Li Jin stopped talking to Li Siyuan and returned back the same way without saying a word.

Mo Yue passed for a while.

Li Jin and Li Siyuan finally came back when Ying Yuan could not wait any longer.

"Li Jin, you're back."

Seeing Li Jin's figure, Ying Yuan hurried over.

"Yeah." Li Jin nodded, and said in a timely manner, "But something important happened, and I need your help from the Seventh Prince. I wonder if the Seventh Prince is willing?"

"Okay." Ying Yuan nodded and agreed without thinking too much.

Of course, this kind of treatment is only available to Li Jin, if it were someone else, Ying Yuan's temper would not bother him at all.

"that is……"

While Li Jin was speaking, he was sorting out Li Siyuan's words, which made Li Siyuan stunned.Because Li Siyuan didn't expect that since Li Jin noticed such small details, some even he didn't care.

……

"The prince is really inside?"

Li Ruoyan worriedly asked the maids beside her repeatedly.

Perhaps Wei Shiwan had longed for the position of crown princess, so after learning that Ying Ziheng became the crown prince, Wei Shiwan used her relationship with Lan Yingying to secretly arrange a lot of eyeliners for future contingencies.

This court lady is one of Wei Shiwan's eyeliners.

The maid blessed Li Ruoyan, "Yes, the crown prince is already in the room, Miss Li can just go in."

"Okay." Li Ruoyan was still afraid of missing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, pulled the tulle shirt she had specially put on, and walked cautiously to the room.

Wei Shiwan was still chatting with other noble ladies, and did not act together.Wei Shiwan's move was not because she didn't pay attention to Li Ruoyan, but because she took herself into account, and waited until the hour was about to start before starting the next step.

"Well……"

"There are thorns... um..."

It's too late, it's too soon.

Before Li Ruoyan and the maid could react, they were knocked out from behind, and it was none other than the guard assigned to Ying Yuan by Gu Rushuang.

These guards were trained by the Gu family to secretly protect Gu Rushuang's safety, even Ying Zhengjing didn't notice their existence.

"Did you hear that too? The prince is inside. It's up to you whether you want to go in or leave."

After Li Jin finished speaking, she left with Ying Yuan.

"Li Jin, I will remember your kindness."

Li Siyuan muttered something in a low voice, then walked into Ying Ziheng's room step by step with a cold face.
