After eating, Xia Luotong was anxious to return to the palace. She had to finalize the design of the restaurant and hire craftsmen to start construction as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be a New Year's Eve if she didn't delay any longer.
She originally had other plans today, but that matter was not urgent. In addition, the cold-faced prince beside her was stuck with her all the way and had no intention of leaving, so she might as well wait until the next time she went out to do that thing.
He went straight back to the palace. As soon as he stepped into Shaoguang Pavilion, before Xia Luotong could go back to his room, he was stopped by Manager Zhang who had been guarding him for a long time.
"The concubine side just sent a message about the banquet."
Xia Luotong and Wu Zechen looked at each other, and both saw the understanding in each other's eyes. It seemed that the concubine on this side couldn't wait any longer. There was just news yesterday, and the time and details of the banquet were decided today. They anxiously posted the post Sent over.
"Come to my room." Wu Zechen looked at Xia Luotong and said, seeing her nodding without saying anything, he walked straight to the main room.
In the main room, Xia Luotong played with the beautifully crafted invitation in his hand, with an unknown smile flashing in his eyes.
Wu Zechen has always known that she is a smart and alert person, and naturally he also knows that she has guessed that the purpose of this banquet must be impure.
He paused and said: "The main purpose of this banquet should be to find out your details. People from all forces will come to secretly observe your situation. You show up too few times, so they should have some dissatisfaction with you." Little curiosity.”
Xia Luotong nodded. She knew that she had disappeared for such a long time after assuming the identity of Princess An, and yet she made such a big fuss when she appeared again. In addition to what happened in the hall, there must be something wrong. Many people are curious about themselves.
"The main purpose is this, the secondary purpose... it's hard to say, haha." A slight smile escaped Xia Luotong's lips, which seemed to be sarcastic and interesting.
This interesting game was finally about to begin, and she believed that many people would look for opportunities to trip her up in the future.
However, she didn't have the slightest worry in her heart. Instead, she felt a little excited. I wonder how many guinea pigs rushed up to contribute to her?
Wu Zechen looked at the coquettish smile with a hint of evil on her face, and felt that it was extremely charming, as if countless little hooks were touching his heart, making it difficult for him to look away.
Every time she wanted to do something bad, her smile always had infinite attraction, attracting him like a bottomless vortex.
Kankan gathered his mind and found that he was becoming more and more attracted to her, but the feeling was not bad at all, and even made him willing to continue to immerse himself in it.
He knew her ability and believed in her ability, but the fact that she didn't know martial arts really worried him.
Somewhat worried that she would refuse, he pondered for a moment and asked in a consultative tone: "Will I give Lindong to you? She is quite skilled and can protect you by your side."
Xia Luotong looked at him with some surprise, knowing what he meant, that he wanted to give Lindong to her, but it was not easy to train such a subordinate, so he gave it away just as he said?
She knew in her heart that he was right. Lindong had good skills and could come in handy many times. It would indeed be of great help to her. Now that the cooperative relationship between the two has become closer and more harmonious, then whoever uses him will It's nothing.
Moreover, although she had only met this maid in Lindong once, Wu Zechen had arranged to protect her when she went to Xia Mansion for a wedding banquet. At that time, she had a very good impression of this maid. She was calm and careful, and was not embarrassed by her. Because of her status as a princess, she had an attitude of looking down upon her, and she did not hesitate to give her orders and carried them out in full compliance with her requirements.
With this in mind, she did not refuse, but nodded and said: "Let her follow me. It is not easy to train such a subordinate. I will return it to you when the time comes."
Wu Zechen knew what she meant. When she left in the future, she would return Lindong to him.
Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he also knew that the relationship between the two had just improved, and she would definitely still have thoughts of leaving, and he still needed to continue to work hard.
However, the fact that she can accept the manpower arranged by him so simply is already a big improvement.
After deciding what to do in the coming winter, Xia Luotong returned the focus to the banquet: "The banquet is scheduled to be held on the first day of the twelfth lunar month. It will be held in the west courtyard then. Is there anything we should pay attention to?"
"In addition to Zhuxuan, I will bring Lindong with me. She is familiar with the situation there. Zhuxuan has never been to the West Courtyard, so it is not comprehensive enough to take her alone. It will be safer to have the two of them accompany you. There is nothing else. I think those people can't threaten you, just act according to your own thoughts." Wu Zechen hesitated for a moment, then immediately said, "There is no need to let yourself be wronged, your princess' position is higher than that of the concubine, not to mention she is just a concubine. Just a concubine."
"Don't worry, I will definitely not let myself be wronged. But with your words, I don't have to bother with them. I'm just afraid that you will have a headache when the time comes. It is rumored all over the capital that you have a fierce concubine." Xia Luotong blinked and couldn't help laughing.
She could already imagine that if she really acted according to her own temper, the rumors against her in the capital would be even worse.
But so what? She doesn't care at all! She is who she is, and there is no need to pay attention to the comments made by people who don't know her at all!
Looking at her charming appearance, Wu Zechen felt that he finally understood what it meant to be charming. Every expression of hers was infinitely attractive to him!
Now that their relationship has warmed up, she has become more real when in front of him. She is no longer indifferent, but makes him sink more and more.
Escaping from her seductive little eyes, a faint smile appeared on his lips: "Do I care what others think? I happen to like a fierce concubine."
As soon as these words came out, Xia Luotong was stunned. She always felt that something was wrong with what he said, but she couldn't explain it. A faint strange feeling surged in her heart, which she couldn't figure out.
He must be joking.
Ignoring the strange feeling in her heart, she raised her smile again and joked: "Forget it, when you really have a fierce concubine, you won't think so."
For some reason, she just wanted to skip this topic quickly, so without waiting for Wu Zechen to answer, she immediately continued: "Tell me about the concubine in the west courtyard. I don't understand the situation there at all."
After Wu Zechen said those words, he paid special attention to her reaction, and was keenly aware of her strangeness and her momentary daze. Although it was not obvious, it could not escape his eyes.
At that moment, I couldn't help but smile and feel a little joyful. No matter how subtle her reaction was, it was better than no reaction at all!
