Chapter 55: Entrusted by Qingran, the steward of the Cabinet
At this time, in the "ground" pavilion of Baixiao Pavilion, in the private room of the off-the-shelf position, there was a young man in green clothes who was boringly tapping the teacup in front of him, as if waiting for something.
Although the young man only wore a very simple green clothes, his handsome face revealed a touch of nobility, and he was obviously from an extraordinary background.
If Ye Han was here, he would be able to see that this young man in green clothes was the Nine Emperor Prince, Ye Qingran, who he had specially told him when he left that he should not go out at will if he had nothing important to do.
Ye Qingran tapped the teacup in front of him, holding his cheek with one hand, and the whole person looked listless, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Why is that guy so slow this time?"
Ye Qingran muttered softly, looking at his familiarity with the road here, it was obvious that he hadn't come once or twice.
And the maids standing on both sides could not say much, so they had to wait with their hands, hoping that the steward would come soon.
Although they didn't know the specific identity of this young man, judging from the fact that every time he came, he could easily enter the "earth" word pavilion and have a steward personally receive him, it was obvious that he was not the master they could offend.
Baixiao Pavilion is one of Qing Ran's favorite places outside the palace, here, with his status as a prince, he can easily enter the private room of the second floor of the "Earth" Pavilion.
Those who can enter the "earth" pavilion are all VIPs of Baixiao Pavilion, and Baixiao Pavilion treats them very preferentially, and generally no one will disturb him, and those brief messages on the lower levels can also be read for free, and you can check the affairs of the world without leaving home.
So for him, Baixiao Pavilion was his favorite place to go besides the Han Wang's Mansion.
It's just that this time the steward in charge of receiving him came relatively slowly, and I don't know what stumbled over him.
Just as he was thinking wildly, in front of the elegant attic, the door that seemed to be ordinary slowly opened, revealing the woman outside the door who was dressed in palace clothes but negative in a light veil.
The woman's face was covered with a light veil, making it difficult to see her face, but the voice coming from under her veil was very quiet, and it was obvious that she was not much older than Qing Ran.
"I haven't seen you for many days, I can't imagine that His Royal Highness Nine is still so temperamental, the little woman Youlian, is polite. ”
The woman bowed slightly in the direction of Ye Qingran, as if she was saluting, but the words in her mouth did not have much respect, and it was obviously not the first time she had dealt with him.
The maids on either side saluted the masked woman and walked out the door. The people of Baixiao Pavilion naturally know what they shouldn't listen to, and they will never listen to it more.
Ye Qingran saw her raise her hand and waved away the maids on both sides, coughed lightly twice, and did not beat around the bush, but said directly: "Steward, I want to know about my brother's recent affairs." ”
"Your Highness Eight?"
Although there are seven other princes on the head of Ye Qingran, the ninth prince, only the eighth prince Ye Qingyu can say the word "brother" in his mouth. Even Ye Han, who had a close relationship with them, Ye Qingran had always called him by his name.
The woman seemed to be slightly surprised when she heard this, obviously she didn't expect Ye Qingran to ask about her brother.
The Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince are the same mother, and the two can be said to be inseparable. Coupled with the fact that the two of them are almost heart-to-heart, Youlian really can't understand what is the meaning of Ye Qingran coming here to ask?
"Yes. ”
Ye Qingran picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip lightly, and said again: "My brother seems to be in trouble recently, but he refuses to tell me, with your Baixiao Pavilion's ability, you must be able to find out some clues." ”
Shortly after returning from the Cold King Mansion with his brother, Ye Qingyu's expression was slightly strange, and his speech and demeanor were slightly different from usual.
At first, Ye Qingran didn't care, he just thought that his brother was a little unwell, and he didn't dig deeper.
It's just that in the last few days, Ye Qingyu has become a little secluded. Originally, His Royal Highness the Eighth Highness, who had not fallen again and again in the court, had been saying that he was sick in recent days.
This made Ye Qingran a little strange, and then even when he went to visit, Ye Qingyu avoided it several times, which made this Nine Emperor Prince with a detached personality a little unable to sit still.
But he knows his brother's character very well, don't look at Ye Qingyu's quietness, but if it is something he doesn't want to say, even if he is forced to face it, he will never say half a word.
In the past few days, the Nine Emperor Princes were so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and after thinking about it, Ye Qingran hit the top of Baixiao Pavilion.
Here even Ye Han's injury can be found out, and he must be able to guess a thing or two about the problems encountered by his brother.
Youlian nodded slightly when she heard this, they Bai Xiaoge also knew a little bit about this Eighth Prince, so they naturally knew his character. If you really get into trouble, with the character of that prince, in order not to drag down your brother, it is indeed very likely that you will choose to bear it alone.
"Since this is the case, then I will take over this matter in Baixiao Pavilion, and His Royal Highness the Ninth should also know the rules of Baixiao Pavilion......"
Youlian sat opposite Ye Qingran, raised her hand and gently clasped the teacup in front of her, and a quiet voice faintly came out from under her veil, just like the tea in the cup.
After all, this is a single business, and their Baixiao Pavilion has always opened its doors widely, and they regard themselves as businessmen, so it is naturally impossible to do things that are not profitable.
And Ye Qingran was relieved to see that this ghost steward should respond, and at this time, he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
In fact, another reason why he was in such a hurry to find this place was the words that Ye Han mentioned to them in the Han King's Mansion when he was leaving.
At the beginning, Ye Han didn't say a word, so he directly handed them two life-protecting pills, and told them not to use them lightly until they had to. Now that Qingyu was obviously in trouble, Ye Qingran naturally remembered what Ye Han said when he left, and his heart was naturally uneasy.
Ye Qingran is also a frequent visitor here, so he naturally knows the rules here.
In the Baixiao Pavilion, the VIPs who enter the "Earth" Pavilion, if they check the brief information of the "People" Pavilion, they don't need to pay any price, but if they indicate that they want to inquire about something, they have to come up with something that is similar to the value.
Bai Xiaoge claimed that as long as he could afford the price, he could inquire about any news.
However, the price mentioned here is not the real money that flows in the ordinary, but some items that are beyond the ordinary.
Maybe it's the spirit stones used by martial artists in their cultivation, or maybe it's some rare treasures, elixirs, and only these things can enter the eyes of Baixiao Pavilion.
Although Ye Qingran is a prince, it is a pity that his status among the princes is relatively embarrassing, and his worth is not rich.
At the beginning, the "Nine Songs Dragon Pattern Pendant" given by the Empress Dowager was handed over to Bai Xiaoge when he asked Ye Han about his injury last time, and now he really doesn't have many treasures that he can get his hands on.
Ye Qingran hesitated slightly, but in the end, he remembered his brother's appearance in the past few days, he still gritted his teeth, took out a jade box with a faint cold air from the storage bag on his body, put it on the tea table in front of him, and pushed it in front of the woman opposite.
Youlian seemed to be a little surprised when she saw this thing, obviously she also knew a little bit about Ye Qingran's situation, and she really didn't expect him to have treasures.
The woman raised her hand and slowly opened the delicate jade box, and for a while, a more intense cold air leaked out of it, making a little hoarfrost appear on the tea table carved from red spirit wood.
