    The eleventh was the seventh prince's birthday, and the birthday banquet was held in the evening. Xue Rui left a moment early and took the gifts prepared by the butler to the prince's residence in a sedan chair.  On the day of the Crowning Ceremony, there were many visitors. There were carriages and horses in front of the prince's palace like a dragon. The palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, and the night was as bright as day. The birthday banquet was placed in the west courtyard, a banquet hall with a hundred seats inside and outside.  Xue Rui, the prince of Xiang, Liu Jiong, and the young master Feng Zhaomiao of General Feng's family were sitting on the Eight Immortals table. Not far away, the seventh prince Liu Hao was sitting alone.  The snow goose wipes the neck, which makes the person stand out more and more, the face is as bright as the face, toasting to everyone, not rejecting the cup, and laughing brightly.  "It's true that people are in high spirits during happy events," Liu Jiong said with envy as he played with the silver cup in his hand, "I wonder if there will be more good things in the prince's house today." Feng Zhaomiao asked in a good mood: "  What else is good?" Liu Jiong smiled, his voice low, just loud enough for their table to hear, "There is nothing missing in the seventh prince's house, except for a good marriage. There has been no news in the palace before.  , isn¡¯t it just to catch up on this good day?¡±  The fact that he came today was enough to surprise a few people. That time at the Dingbo Pavilion, Xue Rui had a falling out with Liu Hao and ended their old friendship over a glass of wine. No one had the eyes to see it.  After three rounds of drinking, the sound of gongs and drums rang outside the West Courtyard, indicating that a decree came from the palace.  As soon as the team announcing the decree arrived, everyone at the table stood up one after another and bowed to listen. The eunuch read loudly, followed the imperial edict, and conferred the title of "Prince Ning" on the seventh prince Liu Hao. He changed the Prince's Palace to Prince Ning's Palace and ordered the Ministry of Works.  Immediately, he was rewarded with twelve regular clothes, a red gold ribbon, a purple cloud mink, three hundred taels of gold, and an official sedan with a white jade ceiling.  Liu Hao received the order with a happy face. He must have known that there was another one, so he didn't get up to reward the eunuch. He still knelt on the ground. Sure enough, the old eunuch held up the yellow silk in his hand, shook it open, and continued to read: "  Ning Wang Liu Hao, both good-looking, eager to learn and intellectual, Cui Shi, the youngest daughter of the Yingwu Palace University Scholar, is gentle and courteous, with a beautiful heart and a beautiful heart. The two of them are a match made in heaven, and I love them. I hereby bestow Cui¡¯s spiritual heart in marriage to Princess Ning.  The ceremony was arranged by the Ministry of Etiquette and it was given by the emperor. "This decree of marriage was expected by some and unexpected by others. Apart from the excitement, a few people's expressions changed during the banquet. The newly promoted Prince Ning.  The spring breeze was blowing just now. After hearing the decree, his face froze obviously. He looked in one direction. A little far away from the main seat, there were a group of female guests sitting. One of them had a blue flower covering her face.  Tuan Fan was surrounded by lights, but his expression could not be seen clearly.  "Prince Ning, please accept the order." "I accept the order. Thank you Lord for your kindness." "Weird, why is it not her?" Liu Jiong muttered, but no one heard him. He looked around and accepted the toasts from all sides with a smile.  Liu Hao shook the cup in his hand and said to the people on both sides: "Let's go and toast too." Feng Zhaomiao turned to Xue Rui and said: "Brother Rui?" Xue Rui nodded, stood up, took the wine, and went with them  Okay, it's better to toast now while there are many people than to attract attention later when there are fewer people.  There were several layers of people surrounding King Ning. When they saw Liu Jiong coming forward, they consciously gave up their place.  "Prince Ning, I would like to give you a drink. Congratulations on your double happiness. When Prince Ning's mansion is repaired, don't forget to serve wine." Liu Jiong must have seen that Liu Hao was not satisfied with the marriage and was not like the others.  I would like to congratulate him on this wedding, but avoid the important and take the easy.  "Okay!" Liu Hao responded boldly and drank a glass, his face already showing his drunken look.  When Xue Rui was toasting, someone bumped into him from the side. The wine spilled out and the whole glass poured onto him, causing chaos in the scene.  Liu Hao happened to see this scene, frowned and said: "Come here, take Mr. Xue to change clothes." "No problem," Xue Rui brushed off the wine stains on his body, took the opportunity to say goodbye, and said to Liu Hao, "Congratulations.  King Ning crowned me. Thank you for today's hospitality. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, so I'll take my leave now." But Liu Hao refused to let him go: "Why haven't you toasted me with wine yet? Where are you going? I'm very happy today, and you don't even have the dignity to do so.  "Give it to me?" It sounded like he was drunk. Liu Jiong secretly touched Xue Rui with his elbow.  Not long after he left, Liu Hao also left the table unsteadily.  The prince's residence was very large, and because it had been rebuilt last year, Xue Rui didn't know the way around, so he followed the maid to a guest room, and took out a spare coat specially reserved for drunken guests to change into.  "You go out and wait outside." "Yes."    , said softly: "Fortunately, the marriage ended quickly, otherwise it would have happened again" "Mr.  The maid was still leading the way with her head lowered. Xue Rui walked forward for a while and vaguely heard the bustle of the banquet hall in the distance. He was exposed at night and his breath turned into mist. His eyes fell on the maid in front of him inadvertently.  , his eyes paused, and he frowned secretly. He remembered that the maid who led him was taller, so this one seemed to be short.  Be careful. When you saw this strange situation, you immediately became alert and looked around quietly. You found that this was not the path he took when he came. "Wait, I have a headache. Sit here for a while."  "  If you want to sit down, go to the front and sit down.  " As soon as Xue Rui heard this, he was even more unwilling to leave. He probably knew that this man was up to no good in leading him to the front, so he closed his eyes and leaned against the pillar. " Mr. Xue, Mr. Xue?  "The maid called a few times, but when she saw that he ignored her and showed anxiety, she couldn't force him to hold him back. After looking around, she whispered: "Then, this slave will go and get you a cup of hot tea.  "No, I don't know the way to the Prince's Mansion. What should I do if I get lost if you leave?"  "Who is so brave? Dare to set up a trap for him in the prince's mansion. After sitting like this for a while, someone came looking for him. "Brother Rui, what are you doing sitting here? Why don't you go back to the banquet?  "  " The two of them walked forward together and walked down the corridor. There was a road on the left and right. Xue Rui was recalling where to go when he heard a faint scolding not far away: "Please respect yourself!  "  "    "Um.  " Feng Zhaomiao probed his head, "Go over and take a look?  "  "The maid couldn't stop her. The two of them strode down the corridor, passed through a bush, and saw a man hugging a struggling woman in the small pavilion in front of them. It was dark at night and the moon was blocking them, so they couldn't see carefully.  Who is it? Seeing this situation, no bloody man would stand idly by. Their expressions changed and they hurried forward. Feng Zhaomiao shouted: "Don't be rude!  "  You are the only one, why don¡¯t you believe it!  " "Your Highness, please stop talking nonsense. Xingxuan and you have never had any personal feelings. It is your wishful thinking that may lead to misunderstanding."  " Upon hearing this, how could Xue Rui not know who the man and woman in the pavilion were. " Let go, you two!  "Liu Hao was drunk and angry in his heart. He shouted loudly, waved Feng Zhaomiao away with one arm, and hit Xue Rui on his side with a fist. Xue Rui was caught off guard. He took half a step back and turned his head to avoid it.  With this punch, Liu Hao turned and kicked Feng Zhaomiao sideways. Feng Zhaomiao was the grandson of General Feng. How could he not have some martial arts skills? He immediately started fighting with Liu Hao. In this little place.  People were walking around in the pavilion, showing no signs of weakness to each other. Xue Rui took advantage of the chaos and looked back at the woman hiding behind him. He recognized that it was indeed Ji Xingxuan and frowned secretly. He was about to let her leave first when he saw her from the corner of his eye.  I saw a few lanterns swaying over and heard people¡¯s voices: ¡°What¡¯s going on over there?  " "It seems like a fight?"  " "Go over quickly!  " "What are you doing? Stop it!"  " Among the few people who came, some were known to Xue Rui and some were unknown. They worked together to separate Feng Zhaomiao and Liu Hao. As soon as the lantern was lit, it became clear who was who in the pavilion. Ji Xingxuan's expression  Suddenly, he lowered his head and hid behind the slender Xue Rui. Xue Rui noticed it and stood still, so no one noticed that there was a woman in the pavilion.??Hao vented a bit and was already sober. Seeing so many people, he looked bad. He snorted coldly, then rolled up his sleeves and left, leaving a few people looking at each other. Liu Jiong was among them, waving his hand: "Okay.  , the prince drank too much, and everyone dispersed. No one saw this tonight. Liu Jiong sent everyone away, turned to look at Feng Zhaomiao and Xue Rui, and saw Xue Rui hiding behind him.  One person exposed his skirt and asked suspiciously: "How did this happen?  " Feng Zhaomiao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and curled his lips without saying a word. This is related to the honor of the woman's family. No matter how much he talks, he will not talk nonsense. "Thank you two young masters. I will take my leave.  "When Ji Xingxuan saw that everyone had left, he lowered his head and bowed to Xue Rui and Feng Zhaomiao respectively, and left in a hurry. Xue Rui looked at her back, her expression was unchanged, but she felt lucky in her heart. This happened tonight.  , If he hadn't taken this careful step, and if Feng Zhaomiao hadn't followed him, if he had fought with Liu Hao and been caught by these people, and Ji Xingxuan would have been present, there would have been a hundred mouths that couldn't explain it clearly.  What happened when they went out? The eldest young master of the Xue family and the seventh prince were jealous and fought over a woman. Thinking about the consequences of spreading this word, Xue Rui's eyes darkened and he turned around to find the maid who was leading the way, but she was gone.  The figure is gone.
