When the Jiang family began to prepare for the peach blossom banquet in full swing, the second princess Chai Huizhen, who was studying in the Yujing Palace, finally waited for the eldest prince Chai Wenze.

Yujing Palace is a library set up by Emperor Jinghe for his children. All princes and princesses can come here to study and learn calligraphy. However, after being approved by Emperor Jinghe, only the eldest prince Chai Wenze, the eldest princess Chai Huiqiong and the second princess Chai Huizhen.

After the eldest princess got married, the eldest prince either followed Emperor Jinghe to study and handle the government during the day, or followed the two young masters to study and practice martial arts. He rarely came to Yujing Palace. The only one who often came to Yujing Palace to study was Chai Huizhen. After her mother's concubine Qin Xuejuan was kicked out of Lijing Palace, Chai Huizhen and her younger brother Chai Wenzhuo moved to Ningfei public, she spent most of the day here.

But recently, she had no intention of studying. When she heard the arrival of the eldest prince, she took a deep breath, waited for about a cup of tea before she got up and entered the library in the palace, walked slowly to the eldest prince, saluting respectfully and carefully, "Brother of the Great Emperor."

The eldest prince Chai Wenze looked back, and his clear and noble eyes showed a hint of undetectable coldness, "Second Prince."

The court officials all said that the eldest prince was calm, introverted, gentle and generous, but Chai Huizhen, who grew up in the palace, knew that this was just his appearance. The person who was really gentle and generous in the palace was his father. Under the guidance of his mother, Chai Wenze was cold and wise, and was a difficult person to deal with.

For example, now, Chai Huizhen took the initiative to speak, obviously looking for him for something, but Chai Wenze only responded lightly, without any intention of talking to her.

Chai Huizhen mustered up her courage, raised her eyes and said with a smile, "What book is the eldest brother looking for?"

Chai Wenze said gently, "Today, the Gao Shaofu talked about the "Shangshu", and mentioned the ultimate theory of punishment, reward, loyalty and kindness. I remember that a great scholar in the previous dynasty once discussed this matter in a book, so he came to search and read it."

Chai Huizhen's narrow eyes lit up, and she turned around and left quickly. After a while, she waited for a book with a dark blue cover and handed it to Chai Wenze with both hands, "Is this one the elder brother looking for?"

Chai Wenze reached out to take it, looked through a few pages, and praised, "It's this book. As expected, what the father of the book said, the second emperor's sister has read all the books in Yujing Palace."

So what if I read all the books? She is a daughter, and reading is just a pastime! Chai Huizhen lowered her eyes and said shyly, "My little sister just happened to find this book a few days ago."

Unable to hear Chai Wenze reply, Chai Huizhen raised her eyes and found that he had started to read books. Chai Huizhen said, "Brother, the younger sister is also looking for books."

"Okay." Chai Wenze responded, and his attention seemed to be all in the book in his hand.

Chai Huizhen turned around the bookshelf a few times, her eyes kept paying attention to Chai Wenze who was leaning against the window to flirt with books. When she saw that he was almost finished reading the book, she took out the landscape and peach blossom pictures of famous scholars from the previous dynasty from the scroll and unfolded them, and "savored" them at the place where they were necessary to go out of the book pavilion.

Seeing her pretending to be so hypocritical, Chai Wenze still ignored her and said, "The Second Emperor Girl continues reading, I have something to do, so let's take the lead."

"Brother of the Great Emperor." Chai Huizhen couldn't help but keep someone, and took the painting to ask, "Brother of the Great Emperor thinks how is this peach blossom painting? My little sister is going to go to Le'an Marquis' Mansion in a few days to attend the peach blossom banquet, and she is about to bring some gifts to her."

Chai Wenze raised his eyes and looked at the painting in her hand, "Second Sister wants to bring this painting over?"

Chai Huizhen explained, "I dare not. I want to copy a work by a famous artist. I heard that the three girls of the Jiang family are good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. At every banquet, they will use their own poems, songs and essays as rituals."

Chai Wenze nodded, "If the second emperor sister can copy the character and charm of the painting, it will be excellent."

How could Chai Huizhen not hear Chai Wenze's implicit meaning? She bit her lip in embarrassment, with a voice showing weakness and begging, "The little sister went to Le'an Hou Mansion because she really liked Miss Jiang San's talent and Miss Jiang Liu's frankness. Isn't that the eldest brother... that's the same."

Chai Wenze's face was sunk, and his nobleness and oppression were pouring out without hesitation, "Do you know what you are talking about in the second emperor?"

"My little sister knows." Chai Huizhen raised her eyes with crazy eyes and was 80% similar to her biological mother Qin Xuejuan. "Everyone loves beauty has it. Brother Xiao Huang, I can help you get what you want."

Help me? Chai Wenze asked lightly, "What do you want?"

Chai Huizhen tried hard and she grabbed the famous painting worth ten thousand gold. "My little sister wants to stay in Kang'an, but she doesn't want to be sent to marry her."

It's true.

"Your marriage should be decided by your father and mother, I don't care..." Chai Wenze said this, his voice cold, "I don't want to care."

After saying that, he stepped forward and walked out. Chai Huizhen was anxious, raised her hand and held Chai Wenze's sleeve, knelt on the ground with a thud, and choked, "Brother, please help me, now you can only help me. Didn't the eldest brother love the younger sister the most when he was a child..."

Chai Wenze had not retracted his sleeves, looked down at Chai Huizhen who was crying and said calmly, "Seven years ago, the cold winter, I was ordered by my father to go to the imperial tomb. It was here before I set out. The father told me about the time and walking routes after leaving the palace."

When Chai Wenze mentioned this, Chai Huizhen's body trembled and her body became extremely stiff.

"Then, I was in a hiding halfway, and most of the guards were injured, and I was seriously injured. If General Bai had not sacrificed his life to break out of the siege and bring in the rescue, I would have died outside the palace. Afterwards, I found out that Qin Tianye was the one who killed me that day. Who told the Qin family that I had left the palace?" Chai Wenze's voice was not anxious, but Chai Huizhen couldn't breathe. "That day, my favorite second emperor girl hid in the inner room to read books. You were only six years old at that time. Not only did you remember well, but your ears were also very useful."

Chai Huizhen raised her eyes and defended her with rain, "The eldest brother also said that I was only six years old at that time, what did I know at that time?"

Chai Wenze didn't think she could admit it, but said, "The Second Emperor Girl didn't understand it back then, but now she doesn't understand it. If you let me get what I want, do you know what I want? I wish my father and mother good health, I wish the world peace and the people living and working in peace. You can't help me, I can't help you. Who would you come to for anyone who gave you this bad idea? Because you are also in the royal bloodline, I will give you a last word: If you don't want to completely disappoint your father and mother, please put away your ridiculous methods."

After saying that, Chai Wenze shook his sleeves and walked out of the library with calm steps.

Before he left the library, the eunuch who was sent to Xuande Hall quickly came up and bowed to him, "Long live your life to go to Xuande Hall."

The eldest prince nodded calmly and followed the little eunuch to his father's palace. Not long after walking, the eldest prince's confidant Yuanhuai quickly stepped behind the eldest prince. The eldest prince inadvertently looked back at the gesture made by Yuanhuai, and then he knew that the Taifu Yin and Du Hai'an had just left Xuande Hall, and at this time, there was only the father in the hall.

What was the reason why my father saw him at this time?
