Chapter 164 Dressed as a Tyrant

Although Yan Yao couldn't see Pei Liang, she gave a lot of medicinal materials to the eldest princess to send people to Hanlu Hall. The happiest one was Yulu. No matter what kind of use case was in the palace, there was a share, especially the ones that were not favored by the emperor and imperial concubines.

With her status as her highness, she can't get much good medicinal materials in Si Pharmacy.

Xiao Han wanted to stay for a long time and be so leisurely, but this palace was not a place to accommodate a corner. It was really hard to just Yu Lu.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so happy to see a few better medicinal herbs.

She could delay the illness for a long time, but she could not hide in the Hanlu Hall alone, so that Yulu would run around every day, cook medicine and get meals. With her status, she would probably be able to bully her if any third-class palace maid could bully her.

She called Xiao Han and said to His Highness, and Xiao Han had to come out to protect her in time.

In less than half a month, the whip on the back gradually healed, but it will take a long time to wait until the scar fades.

"Since your highness is ready, do you want to go and see the concubine?" Yu Lu asked while tidying up the clothes that Xiao Han had changed in Bai Ri.

Concubine Xiao, the mother of the seventh prince Pei Yan, came from a famous family. After the death of the first empress, Emperor Xuanming never established a queen. Instead, he temporarily handed over the phoenix seal in charge of the harem to Concubine Xiao, who was the highest-ranking one.

"No need." Anyway, Concubine Xiao and Emperor Xuanming were the same attitude towards him, and they were also ignored and indifferent.

Even if you go there, you won’t be more happy to Pei Liang.

The concubines who are highly qualified or favored in the palace have always followed the emperor's wishes.

Yulu was a little discouraged.

Before Xiao Han could figure out how to get rid of the current predicament, a grand event came to the palace, and the third prince Pei Xi returned with the army.

Two years ago, the Nanjing Kingdom took the initiative to tear up the contract alliance with Dayan, and the army invaded the border. The North Korea sent a war-friendly general Lin Qing to lead an army of 100,000 to the border. Pei Xi, the third prince, who was only fifteen, took the initiative to request the position of military supervision to defend the country and stabilize the border for the Great Yan and the Unified Yan.

The war has been delayed for a year or two, but it has won many good news, and Pei Xi also played a significant role.

Pei Liang's third brother is an extremely outstanding talent, and his literary talent is well-known to everyone in the court. These are also known to Pei Liang, who has lived in the cold palace for a long time.

The Nanjing Kingdom was greatly injured by this battle. Not only did it withdraw from the invaded Dayan territory, but it was also willing to bow its head and agree to surrender to Dayan as a vassal state. Emperor Xuanming was very happy when he heard this and set up a special palace banquet to praise the third prince Pei Xi and the generals. The civil and military officials of the court and the princes and daughters of the harem. Even Pei Liang, the prince who was not valued, would also attend.

Yulu was still worried about the dress for the banquet, and Xiao Han said casually, "Just pick a clean and neat one."

Yulu shook her head, "Your Highness is rare to attend such a palace banquet, and it shouldn't be too shabby."

But it is hard to cook without rice. The clothes in Hanlu Hall are mostly outdated and half old. Yulu thought to make them faster in the past few days.

But within two days, the Shangfu Bureau sent the clothes for the banquet, and the palace maids who sent them respectfully said, "It was the negligence of the palace people to delay the 12th Highness's ready-made clothes this year."

Yu Lu was stunned for a moment, and Xiao Han simply said, "Just accept it, don't ask more."

This is thanks to Pei Liang's memory.

Pei Liangnian is thirteen years old. If he is ignorant, he will never attack and seize the throne.

He had accumulated power in the palace in private very early, but his foundation was shallow and he showed weakness in others on weekdays, and he didn't even know Yu Lu who was by his side every day.

Xiao Han couldn't be too out of line either, but he was lucky to get one or two clothes. To be honest, it was really uncomfortable to be dependent on others and be restrained in this palace.

On the day of the palace banquet, Xiao Han sat in an inconspicuous corner with many princes and daughters, but he didn't get close to her. It was just that she wanted to keep a low profile, but someone didn't let her keep a low profile.

"Pei Liang, I was wrong before, and I hurt you."

Princess Danyang Yan Yao found her here at some point, but she undoubtedly attracted many attentions. She is a natural noble girl, always open and unrestrained, and famous all over the capital. Today, she has changed her previous outfit and is dressed in a quiet and elegant manner, beautiful and awe-inspiring way, which makes people look strange.

"Yao'er." The fifth prince Pei Yu, who followed him, looked obviously a little bad, and his eyes were definitely not good-willed.

Yan Yao didn't care about Pei Yu, so she hurriedly grabbed Pei Liang's sleeve, her eyes shining with Chuchu, "I apologize to you, it's good for you to forgive me."

Xiao Han frowned slightly, and inadvertently swept Yan Yao's eyes, which were cold and sharp, and she suddenly felt so cold that she couldn't help but retract her hand.

When did she see Pei Liang like this? Apart from having personally experienced Pei Liang's tyranny before her previous life, she has not paid attention to Pei Liang, an inconspicuous prince during her years of smooth sailing.

The fifth prince Pei Yu became increasingly unkind, "Yao'er has apologized to you, why did the twelve emperors refuse to even say something?"

Xiao Han said lightly, "Since the father and emperor have made a ruling in this matter, why bother to mention it again?"

...

"What's wrong?" Emperor Xuanming frowned and asked when he heard the movement below.

The eunuch lowered his head and replied, "It seems to be His Highness the Fifth Prince, Princess Danhua, and... the twelfth Prince."

Concubine De, who was sitting on the right, was the second seat after Concubine Xiao, and said softly with apology, "The fifth brother is really ignorant. Today is his third brother who returned victoriously and disturbed the banquet."

"It's just a child dispute, it's not a big deal." Emperor Xuan Ming waved his hand. One was Princess Danhua, whom he loved as his daughter, and the other was the prince whom he had always loved. How could there be any blame?

The eldest princess immediately asked the maid to take the princess back, and she could not let her do whatever she wanted on any occasion.

Yan Yao also wanted to say a few more words to Pei Liang and try her best to eliminate her hostility towards her, but she had to obey her mother's summons and went back reluctantly. Before leaving, she looked at Pei Liang with a look.

Once Yan Yao left, the fifth prince Pei Yu would not stay for too long. He always showed humility and politeness. Today, he did not perform well at this important banquet because Yan Yao's behavior made him lose his composure.

There is no need to compete with Pei Liang, a prince who is not as competitive as him everywhere.

Xiao Han returned to his previous lonely and deserted place. He occasionally thought about Yan Yao's abnormality, which was completely different from the noble girl who whipped someone a few days ago, and his eyes looked at him with a faint pleasing look.

Why should a princess of the current dynasty beloved by thousands of people please the prince who lives in the cold palace?

Unless...she knows that Pei Liang will become the emperor in the future.

Xiao Han immediately said in his heart, "9526, look at what's wrong with Yan Yao?"

Wake up in the moment of 9526 when he was napping, "Okay, host."

At the palace banquet, Xiao Han also saw the protagonist of the palace banquet. The third prince Pei Xi, with a handsome appearance and a good manners, with a bright light between his eyebrows. There was also an eunuch in the palace who read the imperial edict and named the third prince Pei Xi as King Yong.

Compared to this imperial edict, the rewarded generals behind it are nothing.

Xiao Han noticed that many people were actually relieved. This was to mention the origin of the third prince Pei Xi. He was the legitimate son of the first queen and now he has the military achievements to pacify the Nanjing Kingdom, and the power of the crown prince has been achieved.

Although he was not named the crown prince, he was also the first among the princes to be named king, which was extremely dazzling.

Why did such an outstanding person not win the throne in Pei Liang and ruin the great delay?

Because he didn't live until then.

Prince Yong Pei Xi died less than 20 years old.

Although there are many princes of Emperor Xuanming, there are only seven or eight princes who survive until adulthood. No wonder Concubine De was surprised that Pei Liang was desperate.

As the prince who was most likely to win the throne in the early stage, many people must have made a move on his death.

Xiao Han is not surprised at all. Since ancient times, princes have fought for the throne and their brothers have been killed. Isn’t her original body just killing the throne?

Now, she only needs to be an idle prince and complete the task. She really doesn't need to care about who will become the emperor in the future.

Xiao Han, who was planning to watch from the side, was summoned by Emperor Xuanming after the banquet.

There are also Concubine Xiao, Concubine De, Princess, Yan Yao, Pei Yu and others in the hall.

Emperor Xuanming said lightly, "Twelve are you resentful to my punishment?"

Although today's events only happen in the corner of the banquet, they are not aware of it. I am afraid that everyone will know it later. It is also because of the misconduct of the ceremony at the banquet. Yan Yao and Pei Yu are protected by the eldest princess and Concubine De, and are favored by Emperor Xuanming.

The twelfth prince Pei Liang, who has no background and no favor, is obviously the first scapegoat to be questioned or is about to be launched to block the verbal.

Xiao Han thought about how to answer, but he keenly realized that Emperor Xuanming's plain tone swept over his eyes, and there was a hint of disgust.

There seems to be no need to answer.

Emperor Xuanming's expression became even colder when he did not give in to Pei Liang.

"I am still young at the age of twelve, so I ask my father to be a little bit rich." Surprisingly, it was Prince Yong Pei Xi who took the initiative to speak for Pei Liang.

Seeing him, Emperor Xuanming's expression slowed down, "I know you love your brothers."

"Forget it, today is your good day. I will not punish you for your sake."

Pei Xi smiled, "Thank you, Father."

But what he didn't notice was that Concubine Xiao and Concubine De's eyes changed.

Your Majesty is really a holy favor to King Yong.

Walking out of the hall, Xiao Han saw Yu showing up under the corridor column and paced anxiously.

"Your Highness." Yu Lu was happy to see Pei Liang safe and asked again, "Your Majesty has not blamed Your Highness."
