Chapter 23: Goodbye, Your Highness

Mr. Zhou had been in Xu Siming's job, and knew that the little help in his mouth must not be simple, but he thought about it, no matter how simple things were, Lao Ye did it, and he was just an introduction, so he happily agreed.

After receiving the answer, Xu Suyao and Xu Siming got up to say goodbye and went out of Tingyuxuan, and the two of them turned to the marble corridor along the corridor outside Tingyuxuan, avoiding the study room where Wuyang and the others were.

Xu Suyao asked funny, "What did you show Princess Wuyang?" ”

Xu Siming also laughed, "The bet I made when I played chess with Mr. Zhou for the first time, if he loses in my hands, he will worship me as a one-day teacher - of course, it refers to chess skills, but Mr. Zhou has a loose temperament and doesn't care about these details, so he writes a little vaguely." I deliberately found it when I went out in the morning, but I didn't expect it to come in handy. ”

Xu Suyao thought of Wuyang's angry appearance, and said with a smile, "Fortunately, you met Wuyang, if it were someone else, I wouldn't believe that you could still fish in troubled waters like this." ”

Xu Siming looked at the place in the study room and nodded, "If you meet Princess Pingyang in the Tianzi A room, it is indeed not easy to fool, but if it is someone else, I don't care about it." ”

Xu Suyao thought of Princess Pingyang, who was like a starry moon on the day of the palace banquet, and nodded, "But she won't do such a stupid thing." ”

The two of them walked out of the inscription hall together, and before they reached the carriage, they saw a woman come forward from a distance, bowed down and stopped the two people, "My master invites 'one' to read 'novels' ybdu Guijun Lord and Xu Gongzi in the Zuifeng Building for a while." ”

The person who came was Fanghua.

Xu Suyao and Xu Siming glanced at each other, suppressed the displeasure in their hearts-it was rude to stop people on the street--After thinking for a while, the two of them followed Fanghua to the drunken wind building near the inscription hall.

The drunken wind building is a must-go place for the students of the inscription hall to gather, up and down three floors, the highest floor is only one room, the most amazing, unless the prince or the son of the important minister of the dynasty is invited to the banquet, other people can't enter.

But Fanghua took two people to the third floor.

Xu Suyao secretly wondered in her heart, what does this Xiao Nanting mean? It is not difficult to get the whereabouts of her and Xu Siming, it is not difficult to send someone to wait outside the inscription hall to wait for the two of them to come out, and it is even more harmful to go to the meeting place in Zuifeng Building, but if it is set on the third floor, the intention is intriguing.

Xu Suyao smiled bitterly, he wasn't revealing his hole cards to the two of them, right?

After a lot of thoughts, Fanghua bowed down and invited two people to enter, Xu Siming in front and Xu Suyao in the back, and the two people opened the curtain and walked in.

Only Xiao Nanting sat in the center of the whole room alone, there were still a few empty tables around, the scene seemed a little deserted, Xu Suyao walked over, and glanced at a few small plates of dim sum on the table, brewing three cups of fragrant Pu'er tea.

Xu Siming sat down generously, but he didn't see the courtesy, and only said very familiarly, "Since you invite us to Zuifeng Building, what's the point of not ordering good wine and food?" ”

Xu Suyao also pursed her lips and sat next to Xu Siming without speaking.

Xiao Nanting's slightly hoarse voice came from the opposite side, "Take down the curtain and leave." ”

Xu Siming's eyes flashed with anger, he accepted the casual just now, sat upright and said in a deep voice, "Your Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, this move is inappropriate." ”

Xu Suyao was thoughtful, and after a while, she raised her hand to take down the curtain and said, "His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun respects me, and Su Yao is rude." ”

As a student in the inscription hall, you can't wear a curtain, and it is also a truth at this time, if you wear a curtain, it will be disrespectful and rude.

Xiao Nanting then answered, "Someone gave Nanting a gift this morning, and Nanting just borrowed flowers to offer Buddha as a return gift for the gift given by your county lord yesterday. ”

Xu Suyao quietly pushed back the brocade box that Xiao Nanting pushed over, "Yesterday's things were not given by Su Yao, His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson said carefully." ”

No matter who Xiao Nanting befriends with or whose name he borrowed to meet the two on the third floor of the Drunken Wind Building, it is someone else's business, and Xu Suyao doesn't dare to have anything to do with Xiao Nanting at this juncture.

It was a slightly hoarse voice again, "Your county lord and eldest son open it and take a look, and it's not too late to refuse." ”

Xu Siming stared at Xiao Nanting tightly for a long time, and saw that the other party's attitude was down, so he stretched out his hand, untied the brocade tied on the outside of the brocade box, opened the brocade box and saw that it seemed to be a painting, and then unfolded the painting, but Xu Siming put the painting away violently.

Although it was only for a moment, Xu Suyao saw clearly the woman in the paintingβ€”the woman was seven or eight points similar to Xu Suyao.

"This is the portrait of your county lord's mother, the eldest princess of Meixin, Nan Ting thinks that it is enough to match the things that your county lord has gifted."

Xu Siming's eyes at Xiao Nanting were quite complicated, and Xu Suyao also hung her head slightly, not letting the two of them know what she was thinking.

After a while, Xu Siming spoke, "Please also ask His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun to inform me of the origin of this portrait." ”

Xiao Nanting was not angry because of Xu Siming's questioning attitude, and still looked light, "Nanting doesn't know." ”

When Xu Suyao and Xu Siming returned to the carriage, they had an extra brocade box in their hands.

After entering the carriage, Xu Siming had chagrin in his eyes.

When Xu Suyao saw it, she also frowned, thinking that she had been taken captive by Xiao Nanting and taken to a dark house, at that time Xiao Nanting still thought that she was a maid, it can be seen that Xiao Nanting's so-called painting was given by someone else is not a lie, but who sent it, is it really given to Xiao Nanting this morning?

It's strange to say that Xu Suyao didn't see any portrait of the eldest princess of Meixin in the Xu Mansion, and even the information from Xu Siming and Steward Zhou did not say a word about the eldest princess of Meixin.

She pondered the sentence for a while, then took the brocade box in Xu Siming's hand, rubbed it and asked, "Da Yuan...... Who else would have a portrait of the eldest princess? ”

Xu Siming's eyes were obscure, and he seemed to be unable to speak, and after a while, he said with difficulty, "As far as I know, Da Yuan, only the Queen Mother has only one portrait of the eldest princess!" ”

Like a thunderbolt from the blue, Xu Suyao couldn't have imagined how Xiao Nanting could get this painting, if it was really as he said, it was a gift from someone......

Thinking of this, Xu Suyao hurriedly interrupted his train of thought, and said with a forced smile, "I don't know if this painting is true or not, it's too early to consider this at this time, besides, such a wise person in the Holy Heaven will never let people do things under his nose, just do what we have to do." ”

The words were pale and weak, and the two people had different thoughts.

Time passed quickly, and after a while, they arrived at Xu's Mansion, the carriage stopped at the corner gate of Xu's Mansion, Xu Siming asked Xu Suyao to go back first, and he took the carriage to Dong's Mansion, and when Xu Siming left, he was still holding the brocade box in his hand.

Xu Suyao bit her lip, and walked towards Luorui Courtyard for a while, but as soon as she walked through the second gate, she saw Bai Su and Bai Shao hurriedly greeted her, "Your county lord, Aunt Lin has invited the old patriarch to be the master, and she wants to move to the main house, Sister Bai Zhi and Bai Ying are with a few little maids to stop her, I am afraid that I can't hold it anymore at this time!" ”
