Lai Shangrong trembled and waited on his knees. After kneeling for a pillar of incense, he heard footsteps and human voices outside the door. Lai Shangrong's knees were already sore, but the rules of this palace were very strict, and it was the first time he was pointed out to meet guests, so he naturally didn't dare to break the rules. I had to still kneel and wait for everyone to enter the door.

When the visitor entered the house, he saw Lai Shangrong kneeling on the ground waiting, and he just glanced at it. At this time, Lai Shangrong didn't dare to raise his head, but just knelt on the ground and said, "The villain greets you." ”

Everyone sat down one after another, and Lai Shangrong heard the king of Nan'an Xiaojun say to himself: "Don't kneel, get up and pour wine for you." ”

At this time, Lai Shangrong hurriedly got up from the ground, his knees were sore, but he didn't dare to show half a point on his face, and hurriedly picked up the wine jug and filled it for everyone sitting one by one. At this time, Lai Shangrong came up with the idea that it was not the king of Nan'an Xiaojun sitting on the throne today, but another one. But looking at the dress, he must be a master with more status than the little county king. Lai Shangrong secretly thought to himself, above the eight princes in this capital are the kings of the four counties, and above the kings of the four counties are the relatives of the emperor, is it possible that this person sitting on the main seat is also a prince?

The wine glass was full, and the king of Nan'an raised the cup to the person in it: "Thank you to the prince for helping me escape this time, and I invite the prince to the banquet today to express my gratitude." I also hope that the prince will not be disgusted, and I will do it first today as a respect. After speaking, he drank all the wine in the cup.

"The king of the county is polite, it's just a gesture, why worry about it." The prince smiled, "But you and I haven't talked about the old days for a long time, and today we should drink without getting drunk and not returning." ”

As soon as the wine glass was empty, Lai Shangrong hurriedly stepped forward to pour wine. Today, I really saw a prince, or a loyal prince. Lai Shangrong was a little happy in his heart. In this way, it seems that it is a good thing that this was bought by the king of Nan'an Xiaojun. In the Nanfeng Pavilion, the most powerful person I have ever seen is only a foreign official who entered Beijing to restore his life. Prince, don't even think about it, how could a prince enter that kind of place!

"Did you change your taste today?" The prince of Zhongshun glanced at Lai Shangrong, who was respectfully pouring wine, and then spoke.

The prince laughed. How could you not know my preferences? The king of Nan'an County smiled: "If it weren't for that hobby, how could you poke out such a basket." Fortunately, this time it was covered up, and if the old lady in my family knew about it, I don't know how long I would have to go. Today, the wine boy sang a good song, so it was better for the prince to listen to it. ”

"Oh? Do you sing a good song? Choose a good festive song to listen to with the king. ”

Lai Shangrong thought about it carefully, and when the prince of Zhongshun spoke, he hurriedly put down the wine jug and said: "Is it good to sing a wat round full of bed wat to the prince and the king?" Seeing the king of the county nodding, Lai Shangrong hurriedly cleared his voice and sang.

At first, the loyal prince didn't care, listened to a few words, put down the wine glass, and listened to the chopsticks, his eyes were half-narrowed, and he listened attentively.

This song is sung by Shangrong, and he is loyal to the prince. At the end of the song, the prince nodded and said, "This voice is rare and clear." ”

Hearing the prince's words, this Lai Shangrong immediately knelt down to thank him, and the loyal prince smiled: "It's quite clever." ”

The king of Nan'an County said: "I also heard that he sang well, so I found it to help the prince." It's just a song, if the prince rewards him with food, I'm afraid that his ancestral grave will be smoking. ”

Lai Shangrong has been trained for many days, so he naturally understands what the king of the county means, and hurriedly said to the prince of Zhongshun: "I also hope that the prince can enjoy the food, the villain is willing to make cattle and horses for the prince, and the villain will not forget the prince's grace and gratitude in this life." ”

"Oh, there are so many people singing in the world. If you want to test me to enjoy a bowl of rice, I'm afraid I'm going to starve to death for most of it. The prince of Zhongshun was unmoved and said, "If you raise a finch, you will raise it when you catch the rice." ”

"The villain sings the same song as the finch, relieving the prince's worries." Lai Shangrong said busily, and after speaking, he also learned how to "chirp" a few times for birds. Speaking in my heart, this time I understood the meaning of the king of Nan'an, to put it bluntly, he gave himself as a finch as a gift, and he didn't respond to the prince of Zhongshun, he secretly glanced at the face of the king of the county, and saw that he sank a little, and his heart was a little panicked. Now it's not whether he wants to or not, but he has to please the prince and let the prince accept him.

"Hahahaha." Those few bird calls caused the loyal prince to laugh loudly. "It's interesting where you found this bird. Since it is also the kindness of the county king, I am afraid that I will dismiss your will if I refuse. ”

Hearing what the prince of Zhongshun said, this Lai Shangrong was slightly relieved. Anyway, now that I am in a deep quagmire, it would be good if I could find a comfortable place to stay. It seems that it is better to live, not to mention that his family revenge has not been avenged.

"What's your name?"

"Villain Eiro." Lai Shangrong listened to the prince's question, and hurriedly replied respectfully.

"This name is not good, it is called awkward, today you should change your name to Liguan."

"Liguan, thank you for the name." Lai Shangrong knelt down and kowtowed to the prince of Zhongshun. But there is a lot of pain in my heart, that Rong Lang still occupies a word in his name, and now he has changed his name but his name is gone, where is there Lai Shangrong in the world after today, and there is only one glass official who is confined in the prince's mansion as a bird.

"Sing another song to toast." Zhongshun Wang Ye said: "Pick up the lively one." "Where did Lai Shangrong dare to be a little sluggish, and he was busy singing the song Rich Changchun.

"Lord Wang, can this year's list of tributes be released?" The county king asked.

"It's not out yet, why did you start to fight this idea of paying tribute?" Prince Zhongshun turned his wine glass, "You also know that I don't care about this matter, if you ask Nagong, you can only find my brother." ”

"The prince is too worried. I know that this tribute is under the control of the Inner Government, but this Inner Government is only making this list, but don't you have to look at the matter of co-optation? ”

"The king of the county has something to say, so there is no need to be so secretive." Zhongshun Wang Ye said: "I am also a straight man, unlike my brother Zhongjing Wang, I don't have those sons who have the patience to guess. ”

"The prince is refreshing, Xiao Wang said directly. This year, several families have come to look for this tribute, wanting to get into this Nagong to get some royal grace. They were all once officials, and they were related to each other, and Xiao Wang really couldn't get rid of it, so he had to say that he would help him ask, and when he saw the prince today, he happened to think of this matter, and he asked this question. ”

"Oh?" The prince of Zhongshun smiled, "The king of the county is also quite hard. ”

"It's not hard, it's just that the old lady is too old this year, but I fell in love with a jade grape, which is very good-looking, and I think that I will be happy to dedicate it to the old lady, but it's a pity that this house has a big business, and now Xiao Wang is also shy in his pocket." This King of Nan'an County said it implicitly.

"Alright, don't cry with me. I know what you think. Even so, you also know that there is a definite number of tributes, so tell me which ones are better than your candidates? I'll listen. ”

This little king of Nan'an took out a booklet from his sleeve, opened it and pointed it out to the prince. Prince Zhongshun nodded and said, "Except for the Fang Shu of this general's mansion, nothing else." ”

At the end of Lai Shangrong's song, he stood aside and poured wine with the waiter, but he suddenly heard the mention of this Jia Mansion, and couldn't help but prick up his ears.

"This Fang Shu has been paying tribute for three years, why can't he change it?" The king of the county was a little puzzled, "I also know that this Jiafu is quite close to the prince of Zhongjing, but it is only a tribute, why should he be so persistent?" ”

"That's right, but this is the meaning of the palace, unless there is a problem with this Fang Shu Nagong, I am afraid that it will be offered every year. Other families can do it, but other families can't. "The prince of Zhongshun is right.

The little county king of Nan'an nodded, and no longer continued to ask, and asked Liguan to add wine and said: "The remaining few families still hope that the prince will raise his noble hand." ”

Prince Zhongshun smiled, "Follow the procedure, if it is suitable, you can't go less, but if you are reluctant, there is nothing to be done." The king of Nan'an nodded knowingly.

Lai Shangrong on the side was even more angry, now this Jia Mansion is noble, and even this tribute is more expensive than the next one. If so, when will you be able to avenge your revenge! But at this time, it is useless to think about this, Lai Shangrong thinks that for today's plan, he can only make a good deal with the prince, seek self-protection first, and then think of revenge when he has the opportunity.

After the banquet, this Lai Shangrong went back to the house with the prince of Zhongshun. originally thought that he was just being raised by the prince to be a singer in the house. Unexpectedly, that night, the prince had a good time playing with it.

At this point, it's up to you whether you want to or not. This Lai Shangrong thought clearly, and simply flattered him, since he had been reduced to a plaything, it was better to take advantage of this to fight for more favor. This loyal and obedient prince was already good at this, but when he saw that this liguan deliberately flattered him, he was even more happy, and he stopped after playing hard.

Not to mention how Lai Shangrong became a liguan in the Zhongshun Palace, he hated this Jiafu Jia Yu a little more. Just said that on this day in the Rongguo Mansion, the egret came to return to Jia's mother again.

Now this restaurant has been closed, and it is just waiting to open. Egret chose a few good days and asked Jia's mother to decide.

Shi Fei'er chosen: "The fifth day of the next month will be good." The egret nodded and wrote down, and then asked, "Old lady, this date is set, and the ring will be set up before the opening." I think it will be a lively day. If the old lady is passing by, take a look. ”

The egret hopes that the old lady can come to take a look, although the rules in the house are strict, but it should be okay to pass by from a distance to take a look.

Of course Shi Fei'er wanted to go, and when she heard the egret say this, she had an idea in her heart. The egret is also a smart person, and he said it implicitly, if I didn't mean to go to the shop, but I just happened to pass by and take a few looks, even if I was seen, I couldn't say anything. Then he said: "You just do what you want, and when the day comes, if you happen to meet it, I will take a look." You remember to leave me a private room in this restaurant, and you don't need to use it next to it. ”
