"Miss, Miss, the prince is back." In the late autumn pavilion, the magpie ran in happily.

"Really." Yin Qiumeng excitedly put down the fragrant tea in his hand, stood up and quickly sorted out his clothes, "Magpie, quickly bring the chicken soup, we will send it to the prince immediately." ”

Greeting Xiahou Yichen out of the carriage, the housekeeper Zhang Yingfu said respectfully: "Lord Wang, lunch is ready." ”

"Got it, pass it to the Stargazing Pavilion!" Xiahou Yichen dropped his words lightly, turned around and walked in the direction of the Star Pavilion, Dongfan Beiming was by his side.

Zhang Yingfu glanced up, hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Back to the prince, the princess went out early in the morning, and she is not in the mansion now." Madame Hai Bing had already had lunch brought to the hall. ”

Xiahou Yichen's figure walked forward for a moment, and asked sideways, "Went out?" ”

"Yes, I received a post from the Lin Mansion this morning, so the princess went out early in the morning. I heard that Miss Lan said that it was Miss Lin's post, asking the princess to go to Biluoju for a get-together. Zhang Yingfu's original report.

Lin Mansion? Xiahou Yichen twisted his eyebrows.

"Lord, the princess is protected by secret guards, so she should be fine." Dongfan, who was following behind, reminded loudly.

After thinking about it, Xiahou Yichen nodded, "That's right!" Then he turned back to the hall.

In the hall, a table full of exquisite and delicious food and wine is full. Waiting for him was Gu Ruoyao, who was already eating and drinking at the table.

"Do you really regard this king's palace as your palace?"

The dissatisfied voice sounded in her ears, Gu Ruoyao raised her head with a greasy mouth, and said with a smile: "Why don't you eat a little food, don't be so stingy." I've been waiting for you for a long time, so let's sit down and eat quickly! "Except for Bei Ming and Dong Fan, who followed the followers, guarding the door, there were no other maids in the house, so Gu Ruoyao naturally had no need to hide her behavior. Seeing Xiahou Yichen at this moment, he greeted him with a guest, and his casual demeanor completely didn't realize who was the real master of the palace.

"Meals? You're going to let the king eat your leftovers? Xiahou Yichen sat down on the main seat, glanced at the unrecognizable table, and suddenly lost his appetite.

"If you don't want to eat, the county lord won't be reluctant. Anyway, Xiaoyou is not here, and the main county is watching you for her at all times, in case those uninteresting foxes hook the soul of the prince. At the moment of food, Gu Ruoyao rarely paid attention to her appearance, even in front of Xiahou Yichen, the speed of the wind and clouds in her hands did not stop.

Looking at the person who wanted to eat or not, and who wanted to sit or not, Xiahou Yichen's narrow Danfeng eyes flashed with an imperceptible smile, "She asked you to do this?" ”

"Not really!" Shaking her head, Gu Ruoyao had a mouth full of food and vaguely denied his words.

knows that the woman always wants to push him to others, who cares who hooks him up. Xiahou Yichen's mood that had just been secretly happy suddenly darkened.

"Lord Wang, Miss Yin is here." Halfway through the meal, Beiming looked at the figure of Yingying coming outside.

It's really unappetizing, Gu Ruoyao stopped what she was doing, picked up the Jinpa prepared on the table and wiped the corners of her mouth, raised her head and glanced at Xiahou Yichen meaningfully, without waiting for him to make a statement, she turned her head sideways and said loudly: "Let her come in." ”

Although it was not the prince who spoke personally, but knowing Gu Ruoyao's true identity, Beiming naturally complied.

This is the chicken soup sent by himself, the prince will definitely like it! Yin Qiumeng confidently entered the house, and was just about to salute, when his eyes suddenly swept to a very obnoxious person. Sea ice? How could she be here, still sitting at the table and eating with the prince. Yin Qiumeng was stunned, his affectionate gaze turned to Xiahou Yichen, and he bowed down with a gentle smile and said, "Meng'er has seen the prince." ”

"Hmm!" Xiahou Yichen responded lightly in a magnetic voice, his concentrating thoughts didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't even give Yin Qiumeng a look.

Gu Ruoyao smiled disdainfully, raised her head and said to Yin Qiumeng with a smug face: "Miss Yin is a step late, the prince and I have already had lunch." ”

The expression that fell in Yin Qiumeng's eyes was Chiguoguo's provocation, Yin Qiumeng gritted his teeth quietly, and chuckled: "Meng'er thought that the prince was busy with official business, so he specially boiled chicken soup to make up for the prince's body." The slightly humble voice was soft and good, hoping to attract Xiahou Yichen's attention. As he spoke, he turned around and picked up the chicken soup on the magpie tray, wanting to deliver it to Xiahou Yichen.

"Miss Yin has worked hard." Xiahou Yichen finally came back to his senses, and it was rare to praise him.

"Chicken soup, I'll do it!" Gu Ruoyao quickly got up and stopped in front of Yin Qiumeng, not letting her get close to Xiahou Yichen.

Yin Qiumeng carefully avoided Gu Ruoyao's hand, "Sister Haibing, be careful of burning you, let's do it with me!" "This is the chicken soup that I specially prepared for the prince, how could she be courteous to snatch it.

"So, well!" Gu Ruoyao smiled and generously got out of the way.

Yin Qiumeng raised her lips, her eyes fell on Xiahou Yichen and she didn't notice her feet, and she was just about to step forward, when she suddenly tripped over something, and the chicken soup in her hand smashed straight in the direction of Xiahou Yichen with her slender body.

"Ahh The piercing and sharp voice made the two people present frown unconsciously. Gu Ruoyao smiled and retreated with interest. In the current situation, as long as Xiahou Yichen is willing to get up and leave his position, he will be fine. But he looked at the figure that smashed over, not only did he not avoid it, but pushed the table silently, and Yin Qiumeng suddenly hit the table without any image.

"Bang bang, bang la!" There was a loud noise, and all the leftover soup on the table stained her, and the chicken soup in her hand was poured on her mercilessly, "Ah! My hands, my hands......" a miserable cry resounded through the hall.

"Miss, miss, are you alright?" The magpie was frightened, and he didn't care about the rules, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her up.

At this time, Yin Qiumeng was covered in oil stains from soup and water, and there were still a few green vegetable leaves on his hair, and his appearance was very funny.

Gu Ruoyao resisted the urge to laugh and said, "Miss Yin, that ...... Don't worry about delivering chicken soup! You've almost just ...... It's a big disaster. It's a small thing to hurt yourself...... Don't hurt the prince. Because the smile was so uncomfortable, her beautiful face was already wrinkled, and a sentence was said incoherently by her.

Hai Bing, it's her, just now she must have deliberately tripped herself so that she could make a fool of herself in front of the prince. Yin Qiumeng glared at her angrily, ignoring the pain in her hands, she looked at Xiahou Yichen with tears in her eyes and said, "Lord forgive me, Meng'er didn't mean it." ”

"Help Miss Yin go back." Ignoring Yin Qiumeng's pitiful eyes, Xiahou Yichen got up happily and walked away quickly.

"Lord Wang......" looked at Xiahou Yichen's departing figure, and Yin Qiu stomped his feet angrily. I wanted to take the opportunity of sending chicken soup to show myself in front of the prince, and by the way, I provoked Lin Xiaoyu, but I didn't expect Hai Bing, a fox spirit, to interfere with her plan. didn't say anything about it when it didn't work out, and it made her make a fool of herself in front of the prince.

Receiving Yin Qiumeng's fire-breathing eyes, Gu Ruoyao shrugged gloatingly, "Miss Yin, don't worry, you are already very lucky not to hurt the prince, presumably the prince does not care a lot." With that, he laughed and left.

"Childe, don't say it, the food here is really delicious!" Biluo was inside, and Lin Xiaoyou, who was full of wine and food, was ready to go home with incense.

Pick up a delicious lunch for nothing, don't eat it for nothing, and don't have to pay for it anyway. Besides, there is no obstructive Lin Qingyue here, and everything is fragrant. "If you like, I'll bring you all next time." Lin Xiaoyou said with a smile. As they spoke, the two of them had reached the top of the stairs.

"What a coincidence, I met an acquaintance here." A familiar male voice sounded, and I saw Xu Haowen coming from the other side with his subordinates, and it seemed that he was also preparing to go downstairs.

Although there was only one side, Lin Xiaoyou still recognized the person at a glance. Isn't it Concubine Rong's younger brother - Xu Haowen. Speaking of which, Concubine Rong was beaten into the cold palace, and there are some reasons for her. When we meet at this time, it is a bit of a narrow road. Lin Xiaoyou smiled back, "Gongzi Li, it's indeed a coincidence. ”

The two sides each stood at one end of the staircase, compared to Lin Xiaoyu's noble status, Xu Haowen should have backed down, but thinking of the murderer in front of him who caused his sister to be beaten into the cold palace, the anger in his heart gradually spread, "Actually, it's not a coincidence, speaking of which, this son has been waiting for a long time." ”

Waiting a long time? Lin Xiaoyou quickly grabbed the sensitive words of his words, "You follow me?" ”

In response to her questioning, Xu Haowen smiled deeply, and his confused expression swirled back and forth on her: "Don't think about it, this son has the heart and the courage." When I first came, I happened to meet Miss Lin, who was leaving angrily, and I accidentally learned the news. ”

Looking at Xu Haowen with a flirtatious expression in front of him, staring at his princess facelessly, Xiangqing frowned behind him, and just about to have a seizure, Lin Xiaoyou had already turned around and pulled her, "Really?" If it's okay, this princess will go first. For this kind of idle gentleman, she is tired of looking at it more.

A strange look flashed in Xu Haowen's eyes, and he made a gesture of invitation, politely letting her go first.

Lin Xiaoyou glanced at him coldly, passed him, and went downstairs with incense one after the other. Looking at the departing figure, Xu Haowen put away the smile on his face, and quickly stepped forward to reach out to push the two. The two of them who were unsuspecting were about to be pushed down the stairs, and suddenly, an unknown object flew out of the No. 1 room of the golden word, and the arrow of Lixuan, like an eye, instantly penetrated the door of the room and hit Xu Haowen's leg silently.

Xu Haowen only felt a pain in his leg, and before he could react, he stumbled and fell, and rolled down the stairs from Lin Xiaoyou and the others, screaming and falling to the ground. The whole process was just a blink of an eye, and even the people who followed Xu Haowen's side didn't know what was going on.

The guests who sat on the second floor were also considered powerful people with status, and for this sudden scene, everyone was very sharp-eyed to recognize who that person was. The Xu family, which does not have Concubine Rong, is naturally less prestige than before. The spectators were talking about it in twos and threes, and all kinds of mocking and disdainful eyes looked at Xu Haowen unabashedly.

Xu Haowen's bones were like falling apart, lying on the ground and struggling for a while without getting up, and suffering from everyone's unwarranted criticism, which can be described as a wolf. couldn't help but yell hysterically at the subordinates who were still in a daze: "You are all dead, why don't you hurry up and help my son up." ”

"Childe, are you alright?" On the stairs, Xiangqing nervously stretched out her hand to help Lin Xiaoyou, and was relieved to confirm that she was fine. I couldn't help but secretly rejoice: Fortunately, the stairs are relatively spacious, otherwise it would not be just Xu Haowen who fell down today.

"Don't worry" comforted her softly, looking at the chaotic scene, a trace of vigilance rose in Lin Xiaoyou's heart. The only ones who were about to go downstairs at the same time just now were her and Xu Haowen, and he wasn't drunk, how could he fall down inexplicably? The moment he lowered his head and thought about it, he inadvertently saw a piece of broken silver lying quietly at his feet. Could it be that Xu Haowen just wanted to calculate her, and someone secretly took action to relieve her?

Damn Lin Xiaoyou, if it weren't for her, my sister wouldn't have been beaten into the cold palace, how could she be embarrassed in front of the public today. Thinking of this, he looked at Lin Xiaoyou's gaze, and he was about to erupt in anger. "Slut, how dare you calculate me."

"Presumptuous, you fall downstairs by yourself, don't spew blood." Hearing him insult the princess, the incense protector was heartfelt, and immediately retorted angrily.

"Xu Gongzi." Lin Xiaoyou smiled indifferently, walked down the stairs slowly step by step, looked directly at him and asked, "Just now we were in front, you are behind, if you want to talk about calculations, it seems that Xu Gongzi is more handy!" "If she can't do it, she will bite back, and she is really a vile scoundrel.

In an instant, all eyes focused on Xu Haowen again, the dignified son of the general's mansion, who had no grace at all, accidentally fell down the stairs and slandered others. Everyone's disdainful gaze, angry Xu Haowen gritted his teeth. The person who is obviously embarrassed should be Lin Xiaoyou, who can't calculate her by herself, but is calculated by her. In front of everyone's eyes, no matter what he said now, he couldn't reverse his bad image in the hearts of everyone.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the field was deadlocked, the shopkeeper hurriedly came out to play the round, "The two sons are all misunderstandings, misunderstandings." As he spoke, he turned around and nodded and said to Xu Haowen: "Young Master Xu, what happened just now was purely accidental. Seeing that your injury is so strict, it is better for you to go back to the house for diagnosis and treatment first, today's expenses are all counted on Bi Luoju's head, and it can be regarded as a small compensation for you. "Those who come here to eat are people with status, and he doesn't dare to offend them no matter which side they are. As the so-called harmony makes money, only by letting them take a step back can Bi Luoju restore the previous peace and continue to do business.

"Count you ruthless." A group of things that are not enough to achieve and more to lose, if my sister is here, who would dare to do this to him. Xu Haowen was in the predicament of riding a tiger, and the shopkeeper came forward to give him a reasonable step in a timely manner, and he was unwilling to return home with the support of his subordinates.

After sending Xu Haowen away, the shopkeeper turned around and respectfully saluted Lin Xiaoyou, "Childe, you are frightened." ”

"It's fine." Lin Xiaoyou agreed lightly, and glanced upstairs and downstairs, it seems that she owes Xiahou Yichen a favor again! Otherwise, who else would protect her like this.

"Coming back?" As soon as he stepped into the Stargazing Pavilion, a familiar voice sounded softly. Following the prestige, not far away, I saw Xiahou Yichen lying idly on the rattan chair she loved to sit on on weekdays, sipping her favorite morning mist snow dew fragrant tea, and looking at her with a lazy expression, so comfortable.

"Why are you here?" Lin Xiaoyou looked at him with a slightly stunned expression. Since returning to Dragon Studios, Xiahou Yichen has been busy with government affairs all day long, and it is rare to see him as idle as he is at this moment.

"Xiaoyou, you're back!" Hearing the sound of talking, Gu Ruoyao took a plate of snacks and walked out of the house quickly while eating.

Holding back the incense, Lin Xiaoyou stepped forward and greeted, "Sister Ruoyao, you are also here." ”

Gu Ruoyao said very seriously: "You go out, I can't help you guard your prince, those women don't take the opportunity to get involved with him." ”

"I can't see it, it turns out that the princess cares so much about this king." Xiahou Yichen casually picked up the teacup and took a sip, the corners of his mouth bloomed with a faint bewitching smile.

Care? If she wants to say that she cares, then she just cares why someone didn't choke to death when she drank tea just now, Lin Xiaoyou secretly said in her heart. smiled: "Sister Ruoyao, where did you think of it?" You sit down first, and I'll change my clothes and come back to accompany you. As he spoke, he turned around and went back to the house, ignoring Xiahou Yichen.

"There's nothing to say about going out for so long?" As soon as he took two steps, Xiahou Yichen's magnetic voice sounded behind him, and his leisurely tone made people unable to hear the emotion.

Gu Ruoyao nodded submissively and asked, "That's it, Xiaoyu, I've been worried about it at home for a long time!" Tell me, what is Miss Lin, has she embarrassed you? ”

To say? Lin Xiaoyu paused, and a trace of vigilance rose in his heart at Xiahou Yichen's vague words. What can she say? said that he put Lin Qingyue together, and then sold his husband to seek glory, and used Xiahou Yichen as a bait to negotiate terms with Lin Qingyue? She bet that if Xiahou Yichen really knew about this matter, she would definitely have no good fruit to eat. The question is, did he already know what she had done when he asked now, or did he deliberately test her? didn't have time to think about it, Lin Xiaoyou raised a good-looking smile, turned around and said, "It's not embarrassing, but speaking of which, there is really something I have forgotten." Xiao You hasn't thanked the prince yet, if it weren't for the prince's secret help, maybe I wouldn't be standing here now. Thinking of the tragic situation of Xu Haowen rolling down the stairs, he thanked Xiahou Yichen with a little more sincerity.

"What's wrong? Xiao Yu. As soon as she heard her say this, Gu Ruoyao's playful expression suddenly became nervous. Even the casual Xiahou Yichen raised his eyes and looked at her suspiciously, "Thank you?" Did this king do anything? ”

"You really don't know?" Lin Xiaoyou smiled and asked tentatively.

The two glanced at each other suspiciously, and Gu Ruoyao asked blankly: "What's going on, you can say it quickly." The prince will be with me when he returns home, why do we ask you if we are clear? ”

Seeing that their expressions were serious and not joking, Lin Xiaoyou was stunned for a moment: It's not Xiahou Yichen, it's not Xiahou Yichen who helped her today, but who will it be if it's not Xiahou Yichen? His thoughts flipped quickly, and suddenly a light flashed through his mind. No, no, if there is anyone in this world who cares about her, then it must be him----。

He's coming! He's coming! Thinking of the figure that had been sealed for a long time, Lin Xiaoyou felt a trace of indescribable affection in his heart, and he didn't have time to think too much, so he turned around and ran out quickly like crazy.

"Hey, Xiaoyu, where are you going?" Gu Ruoyao screamed worriedly and chased after her.

I've never seen the princess look so panicked, could something have happened? Looking at the figures of the two Dao leaving in a hurry, Dong Fan and Bei Ming had a bad premonition in their hearts.

Xiahou Yichen frowned, "Someone." ”

As the words fell, a black-clothed secret guard appeared in the courtyard, knelt down on one knee and said, "My subordinates see the prince." "He is the secret guard who was arranged to protect Lin Xiaoyu in secret.

"Say it!" Xiahou Yichen pouted with an indifferent smile on his face, opened his mouth elegantly, and his charming voice could not hear the slightest emotion.

"Lord Wang, after the princess went to Biluoju, she first ordered all the dishes in it and distributed them to other diners. And then...... Then ......" The dark guard wiped the cold sweat from his head, thinking about what was going on, and he didn't know how to speak.

There are more than 100 dishes in Biluo Curie, to say the least, this woman is smart, she seized the opportunity to take Lin Qingyue and bleed Lin Mansion. Xiahou Yichen's phoenix eyes closed slightly, and he leaned back on the rattan chair, "Say." He wanted to see what tricks she could play with him behind her back.

The secret guard broke out in a cold sweat, "During this period, Miss Lin has been currying favor with the princess and wants to take the opportunity to enter the mansion, but the princess said that the palace belongs to the prince, and she does not have the right to call the shots." However, it is not without opportunities, the princess said that she wants to make a deal with Miss Lin. ”

Even though she's a little self-aware. "What deal?"

"The princess said that it was impossible to let Miss Lin enter the mansion directly, but it was still okay to give her a privilege to enter the mansion. During this period, if Miss Lin won the favor of the prince, then she would be justified. The corners of the dark guard's mouth twitched, and he admired his own princess very much, even the prince dared to sell her, and she was too bold. raised his head and cautiously glanced at Xiahou Yichen's still calm face, and continued: "Miss Lin was very moved at the time, and later the princess asked her, what is it like to know that her husband has been divided by others half and half?" The princess said that as long as she thought that in the near future, there would be another Miss Lin in the palace, and her heart would hurt like a knife. I heard that doing business can divert attention, so her condition is to compensate for the Hongfutang Tea House and Jin Xiangrui Inn under the name of the Lin Mansion, in exchange for the privilege of a Miss Lin to enter the Mansion. ”

The words fell, and the surrounding was as quiet as death.

What is the situation, selling a husband for glory? Dongfan Beiming's stunned expression, you look at me, I look at you, with an incredible face. Growing up so big, the princess let them grow up for the first time in her life. All right! Sell your husband, sell your husband, the question is that his prince is worth a tea house and an inn? Dongfan gritted his teeth, and finally resisted the urge to laugh out loud. Even Beiming, who had always been as cold as an ice cube, turned his head to the side, but the faintly shrugged shoulders betrayed his affection. The mood of the two at the moment was very complicated, and they suddenly felt that the prince of his family was so pitiful, not to mention being sold by the princess, but also sold a cheap.

What a Lin Xiaoyou, I really didn't disappoint him! Dare to sell him as bait for the sake of two properties, he Xiahou Yichen is worth this weight in her heart? Xiahou Yichen smiled wantonly, with a slight sense of danger: "What happened later? Noticing the unusual smile on his face, Dongfan took a step back quietly.

The princess's move made Miss Lin quite angry, and she left angrily without eating. When I went out, I happened to meet Xu Haowen, the son of the Xu family, and during the greetings between the two, Miss Lin deliberately revealed the whereabouts of the princess to him. Xu Haowen waited for the princess to finish her meal, and deliberately created a chance encounter at the staircase, taking advantage of the opportunity to go downstairs to the princess's disadvantage. ”

Xu family, what a boldness! Xiahou Yichen closed his eyes and listened to the secret guard's report, his smiling expression didn't know what he was thinking.

Beiming had a cold face and ruthlessly threw out four words: "I don't know whether to live or die." "Concubine Rong has fallen, and she doesn't know how to rein. Fortunately, the princess is fine, otherwise, Xu Mansion may disappear from the world.

"The subordinates were about to make a move, but they didn't expect to be saved by someone who took the lead to save the princess. He shot so fast that no one noticed it in full view. The Dark Guard reported the truth.

"What?" Xiahou Yichen's tightly closed phoenix eyes suddenly opened, and he quickly got up and looked coldly at the person kneeling on the ground, "Someone made a move before you?" ”

"Yes!"

It's over, such an important matter was not reported before the princess returned home, and Dongfan Beiming, who knew the relationship, also understood what had happened, and immediately glared at him fiercely.

"Go down and get thirty lashes." The indifferent voice was inexplicably suppressed, and after dropping the words, Xiahou Yichen got up and walked out quickly.
