As soon as a few little maids brought up the hot dishes, they saw An Qingchen who turned around and left, and Yong Wangye, who had a cold face. Could it be that An Qingchen told his master about chewing the root of their tongues? Several people hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "The prince forgives the sin, the slaves and maids know that they are wrong!" "You know, in the Yongwang Mansion, chewing the root of the tongue behind the master's back is to be killed with a cane.

Zhou Xiao glanced at them coldly and said, "Send these dishes to Lanyuan, if Miss doesn't eat them, be careful of your heads!" ”

When the three little maids heard this, they went to the Orchid Garden tremblingly.

Who knew that when I came to the Orchid Garden, the door of the main house was closed, and only the lights were still on in the next room, and there was a faint sound of talking inside. A few little maids had to carry the food box, walked over, and saw Qingchen, Liu Er and Huang Xianzu were there, and there was an old man in tattered clothes, and several people didn't care about anything else, so they quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Please Miss eat!" ”

Qingchen was checking on Old Man Han's condition, and since Xianzu carried him back to the palace, he had fallen into a coma with no sign of waking up. Hearing that someone invited her to eat, she waved her hand and said, "Take it down first, and then use it later." ”

When a few maids heard this, they kowtowed in fright: "Miss, you have a lot, spare the slaves and maids, the slaves and maids don't dare anymore, please eat with the miss!" ”

Qingchen heard it inexplicably, "What have you done that you need my forgiveness, Your Excellency." ”

The little maids still knelt on the ground: "If the young lady doesn't need to eat, the prince, the prince will break our legs!" Miss, you should save the slaves! ”

Qingchen was very helpless, so he had to take the food box, ate a few bites randomly, and said, "Okay, go back and restore your life!" Zhou Xiao actually threatened the maid's life, Qingchen shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Just as a few maids were about to go back to their lives with great gratitude, Zhou Xiao's voice suddenly came: "Just eat so many bites?" Don't be afraid of wasting the skills of the imperial chef! Then I saw the handsome and unparalleled Nine Emperor Princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty, holding a baby in his hand, and appeared at the door.

As soon as a few little maids stood up, they immediately knelt on the ground again and said, "The prince spares his life, the prince spares his life!" ”

Zhou Xiao ignored a few people on the ground, and said to Qingchen: "You didn't come back all day, you finally came back, and I don't know if you came to see Xu'er, Xu'er misses you so much!" ”

Qingchen was stunned, which one did he sing? The baby who is only two months old, how can he know how to miss?

However, seeing Xu'er's fleshy little face, his mood was half better, and he was about to reach out to take Xu'er, when he saw that there was still a large group kneeling on the ground, he suddenly felt that he couldn't go, and said to Zhou Xiao: "What's the big deal, don't you just don't want to eat, do you need to embarrass these subordinates?" ”

Zhou Xiao waved his hand to let them stand down, and then handed Xu'er to Qingchen and asked, "Where is the robe from Tianfu?" ”

Qingchen glanced at the black brocade robe with his eyes and said, "This is it." ”

Zhou Xiao took the brocade robe and threw it to Huang Xianzu: "Xianzu, this robe has been given to you by this king." ”

This is her robe, what right does he have Zhou Xiao to reward people casually: "Why do you dispose of my things at will!" ”

Huang Xianzu was stunned there, looking at the black robe in his hand, he didn't take it, he didn't take it, he didn't take it, and he looked embarrassed.

Qingchen said to Huang Xianzu: "Xianzu, you take this robe, but it is not rewarded by King Yong, but by Miss Ben." ”

Huang Xianzu said: "Thank you, Miss." Calmly accept the brocade robe.

Zhou Xiao asked Xiao Anzi to bring a few brocade boxes, and said: "This is a new cut made by this king, both men's and women's clothes, don't go to other people's houses to get clothes to wear in the future, save me the face of Yongwangfu!" ”

Looking at the layers of boxes in Xiao Anzi's hands, Qingchen couldn't cry or laugh, did she go to Tianfu for a dress? Besides, if she wants to lose the face of An Qingchen, what does it have to do with his Yongwang Mansion?

"He Tianlei soiled my brocade robe, I want him as compensation, where is the shame?" Besides, this brocade robe is still a relic of Mo Xuanran, and if he knew this, he should not refuse the ten taels of gold that are free.

Zhou Xiao ordered Xiao Anzi to put the brocade box in the dust room, no longer entangled with her on the question of whether it was embarrassing, and said directly: "The king of Ming Japan is going to inspect the jade mines, do you want to go with you?" ”

"Of course, go along!" Qingchen blurted out, and then asked a little embarrassedly, "Is Xu'er going too?" ”

"Xu'er stays in the palace, the cold on the mountain is too heavy." It's rare to have a time when you don't take Xu'er with you.

"Since you're going, I'm going to eat all these meals." Otherwise, how can you have the strength to climb the mountain tomorrow?

Qingchen had no choice but to hand Xu'er back into Zhou Xiao's hands, picked up the rice bowl depressedly, and began to pick up the rice......

Before she finished her meal, Zhou Xiao's accompanying imperial doctor came and began to diagnose Old Man Han's pulse.

Tianfu.

As soon as Tianlei woke up from drunkenness, a little guy hurriedly came to report: Old man Han disappeared inexplicably! The two cell bosses had just woken up from a coma.

Tianlei was furious and hurriedly sent someone to notify Xiaofu to discuss countermeasures.

Early in the morning of the second day, Qingchen changed into men's clothes and brought Huang Xianzu, who today changed into the black brocade robe that Qingchen appreciated yesterday. The two followed the royal inspection team to the mine. He was accompanied by Nanyang Prefecture Yin and several officials.

Qingchen rode a jujube red pony and walked beside Zhou Xiao, Zhou Xiao actually began to introduce her to several jade mines in Nanyang, and the prince of Da Zhou gave her a commentator, Qingchen was really flattered.

There are two major private mines in Nanyang, one is in the hands of Xiaojia, known as the first mine in Nanyang; There is also a heavenly family. In addition, it is the official mine operated by the government, which has been declining in recent years due to the run on private mines. The rest also have some small and fragmented mines. What Zhou Xiao is going to today is these three jade mines, which produce nearly eighty percent of the jade in Nanyang.

The royal honor guard opened the road all the way, walked through the bustling street market, went out of the city, and went west, not far away, the mountains and mountains are stacked, it is the famous Nanshan Mountain Range in Nanyang, the jade mine of Xiaojia is in the east of this Nanshan, the jade mine of Tianjia is in the west of Nanshan, and the north is the official mine. After traveling west for nearly an hour, they finally arrived at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, the mountain road was rugged, and the group of people dismounted and walked one after another. The first to arrive is the jade mine of Xiaojia in the east, Zhou Xiao also means to look outside the mine, and see that Zhou Xiao has no intention of entering the mine, Nanyang Mansion Yin also had to stand at the mouth of the mine, Qingchen because he stood relatively backward, only by standing on tiptoe can he see the situation in the mine, but it is such a cursory look, Qingchen's heart has already been clear, Xiaojia's jade mine personnel are sufficient, the division of labor is clear, and it is orderly.

Xiaoyao had already received the news that King Yong was going to inspect the jade mine today, so as soon as he received the report, he hurriedly ran out of the mine to greet him, and when he saw Zhou Xiao at the door, he knelt down respectfully and said: "Xiaomin Xiaoyao, take King Yong!" ”

"Get up, this king will just take a look at it today, you don't need to be polite." Since Xiaoyao had known that he was coming today, there was nothing to see about this jade mine.

"Thank you, King Yong." Xiaoyao got up, and saluted Lord Fu Yin again: "Lord Fu Yin is reasonable. As far as the eye could see, he found that the clothes Huang Xianzu was wearing were exactly the ones that Qingchen had chosen in Tianfu that day, and he was surprised for a while, until he saw An Qingchen not far away, and his heart finally understood. He nodded to Qingchen, who smiled back.

Xiaoyao has always had suspicions in his heart, the only person who entered Tianfu that day was the young man next to King Yong, but listening to the description of the person imprisoned in the secret prison, it seems that it was a woman who rescued the old man Han. Now that I know that this person is the person of King Yong, things have become a little tricky, after all, the people do not fight with the officials, and if the court really wants to destroy him and the two families, there is a means.

Just as he was pondering, Zhou Xiao said to Yin of Nanyang Mansion: "Lord Liu, after the inspection of this first mine is completed, where will we go next?" ”

"Back to the prince, let's go to the jade mine of the Heavenly Family in the west of Nanshan." It's just that for some reason, the voice trembles faintly.
