Chapter 687: The Show Begins

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Xiao Hanzheng wanted to get the Sixth Prince and Miss Yan together, but he knew that he could not do it himself.

If he had personally sent someone to set it up, there would definitely be traces left behind. The Emperor would definitely be able to find out.

Regardless of whether he liked the Sixth Prince or not, his own son was schemed against by his officials. Even if the Emperor was an open-minded person, he would definitely feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, Xiao Hanzheng had someone tell the First Prince and the Second Prince that the Sixth Prince and Miss Yan were plotting against his sister and that the Sixth Prince wanted his fiancée to die in an accident.

These two were the people who did not want to see his sister marry the Sixth Prince the most, so they would definitely think of ways to ruin the news.

He had even asked someone to inadvertently mention it to the trusted aides of the two princes. If the Sixth Prince and Miss Yan got together, the matter would be easily solved.

At that time, not only would the Sixth Prince not be able to marry Xiao Baili as he wished, but he would also not be able to get the help of his fiancée’s family, which was the assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

As expected, the First Prince and Second Prince both took action when they received the news.

The two of them had always been competing in the dark, and it was rare for them to work together on this matter.

The First Prince’s wife’s sister-in-law was going to hold a banquet and invited the madams and young ladies of various aristocratic families.

The First Prince would be there as well, so the First Prince consort’s younger brother invited male guests.

Not only Shi Qingluo and Xiao Baili, but Xiao Hanzheng also received the invitation.

They all agreed to participate.

Shi Qingluo played with the invitation. “Is the First Prince going to make a move?”

Xiao Hanzheng smiled and said, “The Second Prince is also involved. He will

ask someone to lead the Sixth Prince and Miss Yan to the same place.”

“It’s rare for the First Prince and the Second Prince to work together, so it’ll definitely work. ”

Everything was under control.

Shi Qingluo curled her lips. “Then we have to watch a good show.”

Xiao Hanzheng smiled knowingly. “Of course we can’t miss this.”

Xi Rui had also received the invitation and was ready to go with his Second Brother.

The Sixth Prince and Miss Yan both received invitations.

Miss Yan didn’t want to attend at first because she was afraid that people would talk about how Xi Rui had mocked her.

However, when she heard that Xi Rui and Xiao Baili were going to attend the banquet, she changed her mind and had another private meeting with the Sixth Prince.

And this time, King Yi had coincidentally led the Emperor out of the palace to meet him.

Xiao Hanzheng had told King Yi about the Sixth Prince and Miss Yan scheming against Xiao Baili.

Naturally, King Yi was very angry and cooperated with Xiao Hanzheng to settle the matter.

He knew that Miss Yan had an appointment with the Sixth Prince, so he encouraged the Emperor to leave the palace.

The two of them sat in a private room of a teahouse. It happened to be facing the street and opposite was a restaurant.

Then, he saw the Sixth Prince and Miss Yan enter the restaurant together.

Liang Yulin said in surprise, “It seems that Sixth Brother and his cousin have a good relationship in private.”

The Emperor frowned slightly. “Sixth Brother wouldn’t have an affair with his cousin, right? He’s about to get married.”

His sixth son had been jumping around quite happily recently, and one of them was the Yan Family’s instigation.

The Yan Family was even secretly helping the sixth son form a clique for personal gain, teaching the sixth son how to snatch credit from the Crown Prince.

This also made him very unhappy with the Yan Family. Liang Yulin looked nonchalant. “I don’t know. It shouldn’t be that bad.” “Didn’t the Yan Family want their daughter to marry Xi Rui?”

“I heard that Sixth Brother even went up to Baili and wanted to marry her as a concubine.”

Then, he said unhappily, “Royal Brother, although Sixth Brother is your son, I won’t agree to this. My Baili will never be someone’s concubine.”

If the First Prince and the Second Prince wanted to plot against the Sixth Prince, they definitely wouldn’t be able to escape from his Imperial Brother’s eyes.

Therefore, he deliberately put this matter on the surface.

During the banquet, it would be the Sixth Prince and Miss Yan who wanted to scheme against his eldest daughter , but they would be schemed against by the Eldest Prince and the Second Prince.

This way, even if his Imperial Brother was angry, he would think that the Sixth Prince and the Second Prince had asked for it.

There would be compensation for Baili and Xi Rui.

Moreover, the Sixth Prince and his mother had been having a good time recently. His royal brother must hate their schemes.

As expected, the Emperor’s eyes revealed some disgust. “They only know how to play tricks all day long. They’re simply not presentable.”

Was the Xi Public House and the Xiao Family that easy to rope in?

“Isn’t Xiao Baili engaged to Xi Rui?” he asked. “So you don’t have to worry, Sixth

Brother won’t get what he wants.”

“That’s good,” Liang Yulin said with a smile. “Compared to Sixth Brother, I prefer Xi Rui as my son-in-law.”

The Emperor didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “You haven’t even become a father yet, and you’re already so worried.”

He could understand his brother’s thoughts. Xi Rui was a kind and likable person, and he really liked Xiao Baili. Of course, he was more suitable.

“It won’t be long before I become a father. Of course I have to worry,” said Liang Yulin with a smile.

The Emperor thought for a moment and said, “Xiao Hanzheng has helped you recover. You can have a child with Madam Kong.”

He really didn’t know that his brother liked children so much. It would be even better if he had a biological child.

Liang Yulin smiled nonchalantly. “I’ve recovered. Whether or not I can have my own child depends on fate.”

He added, “Although Hanzheng and his siblings are not my biological children,

I treat them as my own.”

“Even if I can have my own children in the future, my importance to them will not change. ”

The Emperor did not expect his brother to think so highly of Xiao Hanzheng and his siblings. “It seems that you are destined to be with Xiao Hanzheng’s family.”

Since his younger brother valued him so much, he would take care of him more in the future.

The two of them drank tea and wandered around the capital before the Emperor returned to the palace.

Three days later, on the day of the banquet, Xiao Hanzheng took Xiao Hanyi and Shi Qingluo took Xiao Baili to the banquet.

The First Prince’s sister-in-law had invited an opera troupe to perform.

While they were sitting and listening to the performance, a servant girl accidentally spilled tea on Xiao Baili’s skirt.

The servant girl was so frightened that she immediately apologized and said that she wanted to bring her to change her clothes.

Xiao Baili had already learned about the Sixth Prince’s plan from her sister-in-law. Such an ‘accident’ must have been arranged long ago.

She looked at her sister-in-law and saw her nod slightly. She got up and followed the servant girl to change her clothes.

A moment later, Miss Yan accidentally spilled tea on herself, so she asked the servant girl to bring her to change her clothes.

On the other side, Xi Rui, who was drinking and reciting poems, was also accidentally spilled on his clothes by a servant.

He had no choice but to follow the servant to change his clothes.

The Sixth Prince quickly pretended to be drunk and said that he wanted to go to the garden to get some fresh air. Then, he also slipped away.

The First Prince immediately shot a glance at his personal attendant, and that person quietly retreated.

The Second Prince did not come, but he had made arrangements.

He had someone lead the Sixth Prince to the place where Miss Yan was changing her clothes.

Incense was burning in the room. Miss Yan changed her clothes and waited for someone to bring Xi Rui in.

Smelling the refreshing fragrance, she suddenly felt a little sleepy, and her mind was a little groggy.

Seeing that there was a bed in the room, she walked over instinctively, took off her clothes, and got under the blanket..
