Keep complaining, I'm a snail tail. Pen % fun % pavilion www.biquge.info.
Bai Qiyu and the others left in their own carriages, and the man who rescued people approached his master and said, "Prince, that's it...... Uh, the prince is still upstairs......"
"It's really a pair of pretty women. The prince looked at the direction where the carriage had left and whispered with a smile, "Let's go, the wine hasn't been drunk yet." ”
The market has been restored to normal under the inspection of the servants of the Shunping Royal Mansion and the later Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.
At the same time, in the raider's workshop, Ruan Qing listened to Xia Bing's description with palpitations, and a hanging heart slowly let go, if something really happened to Miss Seven, maybe the second master would do something!
"But how could the prince be around here?
Xia Bing nodded and said, "Yes, that subordinate said that his master happened to see it in the restaurant next to him, so he ordered them to rescue people...... I guess I saw the sign of the carriage. ”
Dong Cicada said suspiciously, "The prince has rarely appeared like this, how can he ......?"
Xia Bing said, "I've already ordered people to keep an eye on the restaurant, and it won't be long before I know the reason." ”
"Fortunately, Miss Seven is fine...... Qiu Xing suddenly guessed, "Could it be that the prince knows that Miss Seven and the second master are acquainted, so he ......?"
"No," Ruan Qing said affirmatively, "The second master has been outside the palace for more than three years, and he has been going deep into Jianchu, and it is difficult for anyone to find out his whereabouts, the prince, I'm afraid I don't have that ability, not to mention that the seventh lady has always lived in the boudoir...... As for us, apart from the people around the second master, who will know that we are also the second master's people? rest assured, no matter what the prince thinks, he will not succeed easily, Dong Cicada, just go tell the second master, I think he has already arranged it......"
Because of the expansion of the scope of business, some maids were recruited, and Dong Cicada went to report the news, Ruan Qing and the others naturally began to be busy with business, and the raider shop was as usual.
Half an hour later, the person who was sent to keep an eye on her returned, and Ruan Qing quietly took her to the backyard, only then did she ask what she had found.
The young man who looked like a small servant said cautiously, "The people who enter and leave the restaurant are ordinary, and there is nothing unusual, but later, when the prince came out, he was accompanied by the prince of Shunping Palace, and the two left by carriage together, and finally entered the Shunping Palace." ”
Ruan Qing felt strange, "The prince and the prince came out of the restaurant together?" In other words, the prince should have been with the prince all the time...... The prince saw the frightened carriage and horses from the restaurant and came to the rescue with the logo of the Shunping Palace, so the prince naturally saw it, but then the prince did not show up......"
The little servant thought for a while and said, "The subordinates followed the entourage who pretended to enter the restaurant not far behind a prince, and when they passed by the prince, they heard what he and the prince said...... It's time to get to know ...... and something, and the subordinates feel that they seem to be discussing the two young ladies of the Bai family......"
So it turned out, Ruan Qing suddenly thought of a possibility when he heard this--the crown prince, who is greedy for beauty and a humble gentleman, is thinking about the two young ladies of the Bai family, and as for the prince, I am afraid that he is the helper who contributed to this incident. Thinking of this, Ruan Qing realized that the carriage was frightened and happened to be rescued, or it was simply a good show arranged by the prince and the prince, so today's Shunping Palace......
Ruan Qing was a little anxious in an instant, and directly called "Xia Bing", Xia Bing hurried to the backyard, "What does my aunt command?"
Ruan Qing waved the little guy back, "You go down, don't say anything, just act as if it didn't happen." ”
The little guy hurriedly retired, and Ruan Qing said, "Presumably the second master already knows about this at this time, the winter cicada hasn't come back yet, you go to the Xishan Courtyard, you tell the second master, just say that the seventh and sixth young ladies were taken to the Shunping Palace, and the prince and the prince also entered the mansion together, I am worried that there will be other conspiracies......"
Ruan Qing's worries are not unfounded, when the prince just lived in the East Palace, he married Hu Jing'er of the queen's mother family as the crown princess, but not long after, it suddenly spread the news that the eldest daughter of Liu Ge Lao and the second daughter of the Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of War were both side concubines, and these two young ladies were often invited by the crown princess to accompany them to the other courtyard......

In the backyard of Shunping Palace, the princess and the three sisters chatted for a while and left, and the three sisters wandered together in the back garden...... There is an atmosphere of luxury and wealth everywhere, and these are all accumulated with power and wealth, which is naturally extraordinary.
The entire back garden is surrounded by the meandering water of the lake, which is shaded by lush exotic flowers and plants, and shimmers with silver points of light in the sun, which is quiet and elegant. Bai Liuyun saw that there were many flowers of various colors growing on the lake, and she was not only curious, "This flower is beautiful, it didn't bloom when I came last time, does the fourth sister know what kind of flower this is?"
The white seven feathers also looked over, there were iris, calamus, and water lilies, or purple or yellow or white and blue, dotted on the surface of the lake is very beautiful.
Bai Shihua said, "The gardener in the house said that this was brought back from overseas when the sea trade was passed, and it was suitable for growing on the lakeside or in the water, I don't remember what the name was, has the seventh sister seen it in the book?"
"I've seen purple and blue flowers and yellow flowers in books before...... I don't know if it's right...... The one is called irise, and the yellow one seems to be calamus...... I don't quite remember either. ”
"It's just a name," Bai Shihua said with a smile, "No one calls it, it's just a good look." ”
Bai Liuyun smiled, "Why don't you go boating, such good weather." ”
Bai Shihua called her mother-in-law to prepare a boat, and the three of them shared a boat, and a mother-in-law who was familiar with water would row a penny to the lake.
A few people were chatting and laughing on the lake, but it was also rare to be harmonious, Bai Qiyu also approached those flowers, looked carefully, sure enough, it was iris and calamus and the like, but I thought that it would be good to have the opportunity to plant some by myself.
Time flows with the water, and I don't know when, on a hillside not far from the lake, the prince and the prince stand in the pavilion and look at the lake through the branches and leaves, and the three women playing in the water and laughing are as lovely as the moon.
The prince raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm curious, how did the Bai family raise these daughters with such a color?"
Shizi smiled, "It's not that I'm talkative, it's said that my seventh aunt has already promised someone, I'm afraid you want to sigh!"
"Oh, someone did it so early, what about the sixth lady?" the prince said curiously, "What kind of family is Xu?
"That's not it, I've also heard, it is rumored that there is an oral marriage contract with the third concubine of the Chen family in Nanping County, many people know that Baifu is also acquiescing, but there is no formal exchange of Geng stickers. ”
