After listening to the edict and receiving the gift list of rewards, Bai Sheng warmly invited the chief manager of Fuda to stay for a banquet. Manager Fu refused with a smile: "It's inconvenient for our family to stay for a long time, and the emperor is still waiting for our family to go back to restore his life." Another day, I will ask His Highness for wine and food. ”

Bai Sheng listened to it and didn't hold it anymore. took the brocade box handed over by Helian Yanran, opened the lid and showed it to Manager Fu, closed it again, put it in his hand, and said with a smile: "This is what Miss Helian and I gave to Manager Fu to relieve boredom, and please don't dislike Manager Fu." ”

At that glance, Manager Fu had already seen that the box contained the best Tian Huangshi, which was priceless in the market, and no matter how much gold and silver it spent, it might not be able to buy it. He knew in his heart what it meant to accept this thing, but this was his favorite, so how could he not be tempted? He clenched the brocade box in his hand, and the smile on his face became more and more kind: "Our family is disrespectful, thank you Your Highness and Miss Helian for your concern." "Manager Fu has won the trust of the emperor for many years, and the most important reason is that he knows how to measure. He loves stones, especially obsessed with Tian Huang, maybe it is the physical incompleteness of these people, which leads to the obsession with the things he loves, but he hides it well, and there are so many people who flatter him, and there is no way to know if he racks his brains to find out his preferences, even his godson who has been with him for many years does not know. He couldn't help but take a deep look at Helian Yanran, who was obedient and dignified beside Bai Sheng, this gift was sent to his heart at once, he didn't believe that there was such a coincidence. The twelve princes are so blessed.

After sending off the general manager of Fuda, the banquet became lively again. The delicacies made of rare treasures and the fine wine aged for a hundred years were served on the table one after another, and the well-informed officials and gentlemen who were well-informed on weekdays once again refreshed their cognition at this moment.

It should have been a good thing for the guests and hosts, if there was no next thing.

Bai Sheng sat down with several princes on the main seat, and was dragged by the officials at various tables to drink. The staggered plans, pushed the cups and changed the lamps, and the officials took turns to toast enthusiastically, until the twelve princes were a little drunk.

Bai Sheng, who was talking happily with Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, seemed to hear a faint cry coming from outside the gate, and a shrill female voice came intermittently, interrupting the lively atmosphere of the banquet. Bai Sheng ordered someone to call in charge, and he was a little displeased: "What's the noise outside?"

The steward who came in a hurry saluted and leaned over to Bai Sheng and whispered. Bai Sheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said, "Nonsense, just drive it away." ”

"When I went back to Her Highness, I drove over, but she refused to go, and the guards cried loudly before they got close, as if they were going to do something to her. She also threatened that if she didn't see His Highness today, she would die at the gate of the mansion. The housekeeper was also very helpless, "I have already provoked a lot of officials and old men's horsemen to follow the sound to probe their brains, and the slaves are afraid of extraneous branches, so they can say that they have appeased people, who would have thought that she would stop after a while, and she made a fuss again." Do you want to shut it up and throw it into the firewood room, and then dispose of it after the feast?"

Bai Sheng drank some of the decanting soup prepared by Helian Yanran in advance, his mind cleared up a lot, he rubbed the corners of his forehead, and said, "It's not appropriate." "Those who dare to make trouble today are either crazy or instructed by others. It should be the latter, so you must beware of the other party's back-moves. If you do it according to the method of managing things, and you can't be discovered, what you didn't have in the first place will become a thief.

Bai Sheng had a headache and realized that the other party might be in trouble at any time. He instructed the steward, "Go to the lady yourself and invite Miss Helian over." Remember to report everything you know and go. ”

The steward did not dare to delay, and hurried to the inner courtyard. Bai Sheng was about to instruct the little servant to take care of the people first, and several princes had already heard the movement and came over.

"Twelfth brother, but what happened?" the Seventh Prince asked gently.

"Yes, Brother Twelve, it sounds like a woman crying. What's going on?" the fifth prince listened carefully and frowned.

"It disturbed a few royal brothers, but it was not the younger brother. Bai Sheng apologized with a smile and said, "The younger brother doesn't know what's going on, and he has already sent someone to check." Presumably it's not a big deal, a few royal brothers might as well go back to their seats first, and the younger brother will punish himself with three cups to make amends. ”

"There are people who have come to the house to make trouble, and the twelfth brother still has the heart to drink. The sixth prince said with some yin and yang weirdness.

"What kind of person dares to come to the Twelfth Brother's Mansion to make trouble like this? The eldest prince said majestically.

"It's a pleasure for the younger brother to hold a banquet today, and there is no need to spoil the interest of a few royal brothers and everyone present for irrelevant people. ”

"The twelfth brother has always been soft-hearted, and he treats women with special pity and cherishment. The fourth prince smiled elegantly and said.

"The twelfth brother doesn't have to be embarrassed, there are a few royal brothers who are in charge of you today. The eldest prince waved his hand and gave the order: "Bring the troublemakers up!"

Bai Sheng was about to stop him, but he heard a beautiful female voice behind him: "The people have seen several highnesses. Helian Yanran leaned over and saluted, and said.

Here she comes. The corners of Bai Sheng's mouth unconsciously raised slightly, and his heart settled slightly. He turned around, walked over to lift her up, and took her hand. Helian Yanran patted the back of his hand twice, and Bai Sheng completely calmed down: "Since there are several imperial brothers who are in charge of the younger brother, the younger brother is relieved." Someone, bring that bold maniac with you!"

After a while, several guards came up with a young woman in their arms.

But seeing this woman's beautiful appearance and graceful posture, but her hair is slightly messy, and there are still undried tears on her pretty face, I feel pity. A red skirt was tied to the chest, covered with a light brown shirt as thin as cicada wings, the skin on the two jade arms and the back was looming, and the chest was a large piece of white flowers. It seems that she is not a woman from a good family.

The woman knelt down in front of Bai Sheng and saluted, "The slave family has seen the Twelve Highnesses. The voice was tactful, with a hint of shyness.

"Who are you?" Bai Sheng looked at the woman kneeling in front of him, unimpressed.

"Your Highness, don't you remember the slave family?" the woman raised her head when she heard this, with a look of disbelief, "The slave family is the spirit jade that leans on the Red Mansion." ”

"Leaning on the Red Mansion, isn't that the famous Qinglou in Beijing?" someone on the seat shouted, "Lingyu, Lingyu...... This seems to be the name of the Oiran. ”

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

"Does the Twelfth Brother know this woman?" the Sixth Prince asked.

The sixth emperor brother laughed, and the younger brother didn't recognize her. Bai Sheng thought it was very funny, "The younger brother has a marriage contract, so he is so good at cleaning." How could you get acquainted with a woman in that kind of place?" he said, not forgetting to pretend to be nervous and looked at Helian Yanran beside him, as if he was worried that she would be unhappy because of this.

The six princes were disdainful in their hearts, it seems that the rumors are true, the women of the Helian family are jealous and can't tolerate it, but now there is a good show to watch.

"Your Highness, the slave family has obviously served His Highness, and His Highness also promised to redeem his life for the slave family. How can you say that you don't recognize the slave family now?" Lingyu cried anxiously.
