Madam Ye took the white paper flowers off her temples. Xue Yaohua who was inside the coffin had a head full of black hair, but a person with white sideburns like her wanted to personally send away the black haired man she raised up.
Xue Liuhua choked with sobs: ”I went to beg father for Xue Ronghua's life, but father listened to that slut's slanderous words and let her go.”
Seeing Xue Liuhua's indignant look, Madam Ye was so angry that she threw a flower paper at the mirror, ”Aiya, didn't I already say it? Don't be rash yet, with you begging like this, not only was the master unable to punish you, the b * tch even took advantage of you.”
”But my sister had died innocently, I can't take it anymore.”
Madam Ye clenched her fists and said with deep hatred: ”Don't worry, I will make Xue Ronghua pay with her blood for the revenge of killing a girl.”
Xue Liuhua wiped away her tears, ”Mother, what should we do now?”
Madam Ye said: ”She is currently protected by her quasi-Princess Duan identity, even your father has to be wary of her, so we have no way of attacking. We might as well wait for a while.”
”But, if they choose to get married soon, and Xue Ronghua becomes the legitimate Princess Duan, wouldn't that be even more troublesome?”
Madam Ye sneered: ”Being a quasi wangfei is her luck, but whether or not she can be a Princess Duan is up to her.”
”What does Mother mean?”
The Madam Ye looked out the window at the peach trees that were densely covered with flower buds, and chuckled. ”The year's plan is in spring, and when spring arrives, I believe the Empress's Hundred Blossom Banquet will soon begin as well.”
Xue Liuhua said: ”Do we want Xue Ronghua to enter the palace as well?”
”I don't know how the empress arranged it, but it would naturally be best if she could enter the palace,” Madam Ye squinted her eyes dangerously. ”It's not easy to deal with the Prince Duan. It's not easy to deal with so many misses in the capital.
”Of course, the Prince Duan has an outstanding talent, how can he give it to that slut for free?”
”Liuhua, play the role of a good big sister first. Let the outside world think that Xue Ronghua is unruly and willful, and has been making things difficult for you, this kind big sister.”
Xue Liuhua nodded her head, ”Then I will be walking around with the other young misses for the next few days.”
When Madam Ye saw her blushing face, she sighed and said, ”I'm not the one who mentioned Hundred Blossom Banquet, you should be thinking of Prince Jin.”
Xue Liuhua bashfully bit her lips, ”Daughter is indeed against Prince Jin …”
”You are the only daughter I have left. Mother will help you get what you want.”
Xue Liuhua happily kneeled down, ”Thank you mother for your help.”
”But no matter how much you like it, you have to be reserved. When you go to the Hundred Blossom Banquet in the future, you have to be calm and collected, take every step you take, slowly capturing the Prince Jin, and don't be in a rush to push yourself out.
Xue Liuhua quickly nodded her head.
Chu Zongge waited by the bridge for a while before he saw a familiar looking young master walking towards him.
”Mn,” Chu Zongge looked at her jade white face, and revealed a praising expression, ”Madam is so handsome today.”
Xue Ronghua said with a stern expression: ”The word 'eight' hasn't been said yet, where did this' Madam 'come from?”
Chu Zongge laughed: ”You've invited me out to meet you, what else do you have to say?”
”That day when I went to the Tingxue Building to drink, guess who I met?”
”Who?”
Xue Liuhua stared into his eyes, ”Prince Jin Chu Yuanma.”
”He's also going to the Tingxue Building to drink?”
”Not really. He seemed to have gone to meet someone. The person he met was a very tall and sturdy man.”
Chu Zongge thought about the General Lin that the Prince Jin had told him about before, and said, ”Prince Jin and the General Lin is indeed working together.”
Xue Ronghua asked curiously: You and Prince Jin are friends?
Chu Zongge shook his head and pondered: ”Prince Jin is the child of Noble Consort Kang, I don't usually interact with him, but he actually revealed his intentions to me two days ago.”
”What did he say?”
”He knew that I was fighting for the throne with the Crown Prince. He said that he wanted to form an alliance with me to deal with the Crown Prince together.”
Xue Ronghua thought for a while: ”The Empress Chen is doted upon deeply by the Emperor, the position of Crown Prince cannot be underestimated, the Noble Consort Kang is of noble birth, and has an illustrious maternal family as support, if you can form an alliance with the Prince Jin, it would truly be a good thing.”
Chu Zongge sighed, ”On the surface, Prince Jin does not care about the imperial government, but in his heart, there is a huge gap. If by any chance he did not sincerely cooperate with me and instead borrowed me to eradicate the Crown Prince's power, by the time we fight again, I would not be able to do anything.”
”Since you also have doubts in your heart, then don't agree to Prince Jin's request first.”
Chu Zongge asked: ”Your biological sister seems to be interested in the Prince Jin?”
Xue Ronghua revealed a look of contempt, ”As long as Xue Liuhua is a good-looking man, she would have some interest.
Chu Zongge looked at her seriously, ”This must have been the first time you saw the Prince Jin at the Tingxue Building that day, as if you knew his taste.”
Xue Ronghua was startled, and then said: ”It's you, you would actually fall for a woman like Xue Liuhua?”
Chu Zongge pretended to be deep in thought, ”Although Xue Liuhua is a little arrogant and malicious, her beauty is so beautiful that it would cause the downfall of nations.”
Xue Ronghua rolled her eyes at him in displeasure, ”Your taste is vulgar, vulgar and unbearable.”
Chu Zongge smiled, ”Alright, enough. The Queen is preparing to hold her Hundred Blossom Banquet at the Imperial Garden. Are you interested?”
Xue Ronghua flung her sleeves coldly, ”I'm not going with those chirping sparrows again.”
Chu Zongge smiled, ”In any case, the empress has invited the direct daughters of the ministers, so it can be said that you have escaped death.”
