The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

Chapter 200

Excitement and excitement were like a dam bursting. Xuanyuan Yuchuan suddenly grabbed Le Yao's arm and asked, "Where is my mother!"

Le Yao gasped repeatedly, "It hurts, it hurts... it hurts!"

Xuanyuan Yuchuan suddenly realized that his behavior was inappropriate, so he let go of his hand and took a step back. Le Yao frowned and glared at Xuanyuan Yuchuan angrily.

Hu Luanfei was calmer and spoke for Le Yao: "My mother is not doing well right now. The Queen Mother issued an imperial decree to hunt her down on the grounds that the national seal was stolen."

"The Imperial Seal has always been in the hands of my father. The Queen Mother wants to get rid of my mother."

"I won't allow this to happen." Hu Luanfei opened the invitation in his hand.

The neat and beautiful black characters on the invitation card make the meaning clear.

The day after tomorrow at 3 p.m., Princess Zhan will be invited to a banquet at Cining Palace.

In that case, I have no choice but to accept it.

Xuanyuan Yuchuan wanted to see A Niang so much that his longing and yearning could not be expressed in simple words. He wished he could know A Niang's location as soon as possible so that he could grow a pair of wings and fly to her side.

But the current situation has held him back and won't allow him to relax for even a moment.

Hu Luanfei was ruthless and was determined to return to Beiqiu's harem to investigate the matter. Thanks to Xuanyuan Yuchuan, he felt much more comfortable on the way back to Beiqiu.

At the time of Shen on the next day, the Cining Palace was packed with guests and was extremely lively.

Hu Luanfei sat down with Xuanyuan Yuchuan and Xuanyuan Yuqing. When he raised his eyes slightly, he found that there were many familiar faces at the table.

The banquet was nominally held to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday, but in reality it had nothing to do with it.

The Queen was previously under house arrest, and she had to ask the King for leniency only after the Crown Prince's triumphant return coincided with the Queen Mother's birthday. Now the Queen sits on the side, her spirit is not as good as before, and she seems to be more worried.

When Hu Luanfei heard the palace servant calling him, he hurriedly stood up and kowtowed to the empress dowager, presenting her with the spiritual ginseng he had dug out from the space.

The Queen Mother only said, "I heard that Princess Zhan looks like an old friend. Raise your head and let me take a look."

Hu Luanfei nodded slightly, his eyes fixed on the empress dowager who was sitting in the main seat, taking in all her micro-expressions.

In just a moment, the Queen Mother returned to normal.

"Indeed." The Queen Mother suddenly asked seriously, "What is Princess Zhan's name and where does she live?"

Xuanyuan Yuchuan was about to answer, but the sharp-eyed Xuanyuan Yuqing quickly suppressed his little thoughts and said, "Don't act rashly."

Hu Luanfei said softly, "My surname is Hu and my name is Luanfei. I live in a remote village in Daqian Menghu Mountain. The scenery there is very beautiful. If the Queen Mother is free, you can come to my house as a guest."

"Hu?" The Queen Mother lowered her eyes and stared at Hu Luanfei, "What is your relationship with Hu Cuiwei?"

After these words were spoken, the whole place fell into silence. The older concubines and female relatives all stared at Hu Luanfei intently, while the younger ones or those who had just entered the palace did not understand why.

Hu Luanfei was famous for her calmness and was not affected by this at all. She asked the empress dowager, "I heard that Hu Cuiwei was your majesty's concubine and drowned in the imperial garden. It has been more than 20 years since this happened. How can I answer this question without being rude, empress dowager?"

Having said that, without giving the empress dowager a chance to say anything, Hu Luanfei stood up by herself, held her waist and straightened her belly, announcing that she was pregnant.

Everyone present was frightened and didn't know what it meant.

Hu Luanfei ignored everyone's expressions and walked back to his seat. Before the Queen Mother could speak, she took the initiative and said, "I heard that the Crown Prince and his soldiers returned from a victorious battle, and the whole country is celebrating. Many people sincerely thanked the soldiers for keeping them safe. As the Crown Prince's grandmother, the Queen Mother must have prepared a lot of good gifts for you."

The Queen Mother was dissatisfied with Hu Luanfei's standing up without permission, and she also implied that she had made a mistake in another aspect. Her tone was full of anger when she spoke, "Princess Zhan, I haven't asked you to stand up yet, how dare you ignore the power of heaven?"

"I was invited to your birthday banquet and am sitting here as a guest. But the Queen Mother came to do a questionnaire survey. People who know her think that the Queen Mother wants to know about my past and is very sorry for me. People who don't know her think that the Queen Mother thinks I am Hu Cuiwei and is trying to stand up for the Queen Mother."

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but feel nervous. They all put down their chopsticks and held their breath.

For a moment, the whole place was dead silent.

Hu Luanfei pretended not to notice the worried looks on everyone's faces. The Queen Mother lost her temper and slammed the table in anger, causing the bowls and cups to clink.

"Princess Zhan, you are so rude." The Queen Mother reprimanded for no apparent reason.

People really couldn't understand how Hu Luanfei had offended the Queen Mother, causing her to be so angry.

Yesterday, the Imperial Guards returned to Beiqiu from Menghu Mountain and met with the Queen Mother, reporting every detail of how Hu Luanfei had obstructed them in the process of chasing the thieves.

The Queen Mother's attack today may be due to some grudge she holds.

The atmosphere was extremely tense at this time.

Xuanyuan Yuchuan stood up during the banquet and poured a glass of wine to congratulate the empress dowager: "Grandson wishes the Empress Dowager a life as long as the East Sea and as long as the South Mountain."

"No thanks." The Queen Mother didn't even bother to pretend. She really disliked Xuanyuan Yuchuan and directly called Xuanyuan Yuqing to go over.

Among the grandsons, Crown Prince Xuanyuan Yuchuan is rather sinister, the third prince is weak, and only Xuanyuan Yuqing is loved by the Queen Mother.

Xuanyuan Yuchuan drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. During this time, his sleeves fell to his elbows, and the maple leaf bracelet on his wrist suddenly caught everyone's sight.

Concubine Shu suddenly opened her mouth and teased, "Maybe the prince has someone he likes. This maple leaf bracelet is as red as blood, and it is a toy of mine. It seems a bit awkward to wear it on the prince's wrist now."

A few words caused a stir.

The Queen was the first to be unable to sit still. Her delicate face turned pale instantly, as if she had seen something horrible. The Queen Mother was the same. She swallowed a fly and completely forgot that she was the protagonist today.

The prince's sharp eyes swept over everyone present, and he raised his hand to show the maple leaf bracelet, "It was indeed given by a woman. Your Majesty Shufei has good eyesight."

Concubine Shu smiled with a loving motherly expression, "The Crown Prince is already in his twenties. In previous years, His Majesty would have had many wives and concubines at his age. Princess Zhan is also pregnant at a similar age. I secretly think that we should worry about the Crown Prince's marriage."

"After your Majesty has chosen a noble lady, I will make plans."

Turning her gaze back to the upper side, the queen was uneasy at the moment and her eyes never left the maple leaf bracelet.

"Chuan'er, tell mother, which noble lady gave this bracelet to you?"

Xuanyuan Yuchuan and Hu Luanfei looked at each other, and after getting Hu Luanfei's permission, he replied to the Queen, "It was sent by someone who looked very similar to Princess Zhan."

"Bang--"

The cups fell to the ground.

The queen was obviously panicking.

The Queen Mother rebuked her: "You are wearing something given by a lowly person, and you are not afraid of losing face. Take it off and throw it away!"

Xuanyuan Yuchuan raised his eyelids slightly, and his sharp eyes quickly swept over the empress dowager, "Are you going to give up even the slightest thought, Madam?"
