Chapter 17: Finding the Door
The day gradually brightened, the carriage stopped on the side of the road, Hua Mian got off the car to move his muscles, Gong Zhu helped Chunfu's mother-in-law to get out of the car, and everyone didn't sleep all night, just curled up there, everyone was tired. The seventh girl carefully let go of Beiqi in her arms, told him to lie down, and got out of the car herself.
Qingshan was inspecting the carriage and feeding the horses, Qingshui went to find water, and in order to save weight, the seventh girl just brought some simple dry food. Didn't bring water.
"Xiao Qi, take a break, I've been hugging Beiqi all night, I'm tired."
Granny Chunfu gently patted the seventh girl's shoulder. The seventh girl nodded and smiled.
"My lord, it's daytime, I'll go first."
"Well, it's okay, you go first."
Hua Mian saluted Gong Zhu and quickly left. Chunfu's mother-in-law and the seventh girl were not surprised, but Qingshan was frightened, no wonder the prince said before that he couldn't do anything to the person called Huamian, just looking at the speed is not within his reach.
After a while, Qingshui returned, bringing a few pots of tea.
"There is a small teahouse in front, not big, run by a young couple, no matter how far away, it is estimated that there is no one else."
"Drink more water, don't skip it, it will be uncomfortable again for a while." Chunfu's mother-in-law poured a bowl of tea for Gong Zhu and told him to drink water.
"It's really bothering you this time, and I want you to send us all the way back."
Gong Zhu took the tea and used tea instead of wine to express his gratitude to Qingshan and Qingshui. The green mountains and green waters also raised their glasses.
"Boss Guan, don't be polite, this is what we should do."
After resting for a while, the group was on the road again. The drive during the day was slower than at night, and Gong Zhu and Chunfuku's mother-in-law also took a nap, and the old man was really tired. The seventh girl leaned to the side, looked at her son Beiqi, gently touched his head with her hand, and fell into deep thought.
The prince didn't sleep all night, for fear that something would happen, and in the morning the housekeeper came to say that Xiao Gege was crying again. Before he could take a break, he ran to 'Yangxinzhai', and when he saw that Xiao Gege was crying again, he didn't have any good way, just hugged Xiao Gege back and forth to coax her.
"Okay, okay, don't cry, Brother Beiqi has moved, Daddy will take you to Brother Beiqi in the future."
"Daddy, daddy, Northern Qi, Northern Qi brother. There is no Brother Beiqi anymore. ”
The prince had a headache at this scene, and the previous time was that Xiao Gege recovered by himself a few days later, and he didn't have any good way.
"Qixin, Qixin, don't cry anymore, Brother Beiqi will come back in the future. Wasn't that the same way that was the case before? ”
"Really, really, daddy, can Brother Beiqi really see each other again?"
"Of course, as long as you want it, Daddy will take him back."
At this time, the butler appeared again.
"Lord Wang, there are guests in the front yard, please Lord Wang."
"Let them wait, didn't you see little Gege crying like this?"
Xiao Gege just got a little better, but the housekeeper came to do bad things again, Gege was smart, and when he heard that the prince was going to leave again, his little eyebrows wrinkled again. The prince interrupted the butler's words impatiently, very impatiently. The housekeeper had a difficult look on his face, and after thinking about it, he continued.
"Lord, it's the third prince who is here."
"What? Third brother? ”
As soon as the prince heard who was coming, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled. Why did the third brother come? The previous incident has been exposed, and the third brother has nothing to say, and he doesn't even bother to explain.
"Did he come on his own? Did you say what it was? ”
"There are two more people who came with the third prince, but the porter said that there was a team of people outside. The third prince didn't say anything, just said that two friends had come from afar and wanted to come to see you. ”
Xiao Gege seemed to feel his father's unhappiness, and he didn't cry anymore, but just lay on his father's shoulder and sobbed softly. The prince patted the little doll, shook his body, and his brain was running fast.
"Change your clothes, go to meet the guests."
"Yes."
The nurse took Xiao Gege over, and the prince grabbed Xiao Gege's hand and shook it, kissed it, and left.
When the prince arrived in the front hall, the third prince had actually been waiting for a while, and he was very unhappy, drinking tea with Erlang's legs crossed, while peeking at the female next to him.
He received a letter from the Northern Qi Yanlan family, and the conditions offered by the other party were very satisfactory, so he agreed to help him, but he didn't expect the two sides to call him here for the first time they met. But he didn't expect that the person sent was actually such a beauty, and as soon as he expressed his displeasure, the other party 'persuaded him with kind words', so that he couldn't refuse. It's really true, Yanlan's family is really not simple, with this kind of beautiful woman who can ask for good dancing and understand people's feelings, it seems that the throne will definitely be in hand, he should cooperate with others.
"I don't know if the third brother came here today, I'm really sorry." As soon as the prince of Yongchang entered the front hall, he deliberately said this without looking at it, making it clear that he didn't want to give a face.
Lu Ping was a little puzzled in her heart, she had long heard that the eleventh prince of Qingguo was very intelligent and good at business, so he should be very good at doing these superficial kung fu, how could he be so indulgent in front of people? Even if I really knew that I was here this time, I wouldn't have such an attitude. Is it intentional?
Lu Ping wondered in her heart, the third prince knew that the incident a few days ago was indeed stupid and dull. He flattered himself and stood up to greet the prince of Yongchang.
"Hey, eleventh brother, since you moved here, I, as an elder brother, haven't come to see it, and this time I brought a friend to see you."
"Oh? It turns out that the third brother has never been here? The boy was really my brother who asked me about my negligence. Butler, how many years have we been here? ”
"Back to the prince, it's been four years."
Prince Yongchang sat down, took a sip of tea.
"Oh? It's been four years, and I haven't invited my third brother to sit down for four years, it's really my fault. Third brother, little brother is sorry for you. ”
The prince sat upright and bowed to the third prince. The third prince was embarrassed and just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the prince.
"The three of you came so early today, I didn't have time to prepare a banquet for you, if you have anything, just say it, I'll do it for you quickly, you're still busy, don't delay your efforts here."
"Presumably, this is the famous Qingguo Yongchang Prince."
Lu Ping felt it, this Yongchang prince was obviously wrong with the third prince, if it went on like this, it might make people blast out directly.
"Presumably these are the three guests who brought in."
"Xia Guan came from Northern Qi and came to arrest the fugitive with the queen's handprint, the matter is urgent, and I hope that the prince of Yongchang will be accommodating."
The prince of Yongchang looked at this woman from the Northern Qi Kingdom, thinking that she must be the person next to the queen.
"This girl's surname"
"It's good for the prince to call down Guan Luping."
Prince Yongchang put down the teacup and cocked Erlang's legs.
"Green screen girl, I don't know what to do, ask my brother who doesn't come to the door to bring you here, it seems that it's really urgent, please say it."
"Many years ago, a father-in-law in the Northern Qi Palace ran away after committing an accident in the palace, and we couldn't find any news before, but recently I heard that he had a connection with the prince, so I came to ask."
"Although this king is said to be the prince, he is just a businessman, and there are many guests who come and go, I don't know who Miss Luping is looking for?"
"It's the prince who made friends, Boss Guan."
Prince Yongchang was a little displeased, he actually didn't expect it to be so fast.
"Boss Guan? Is it the boss Guan? ”
Lu Ping became impatient, she was originally irritable, and now she knows that this Yongchang prince is going around in circles with her, and she has to endure this breath, which is really uncomfortable.
"It's the innkeeper on the pipeline from Qingguo to Northern Qi, Boss Guan. I heard that his wife was also invited by you to the palace to treat the emperor. ”
"Oh, that Boss Guan."
The green ping's appearance is not very obvious, but it is in full view of the prince of Yongchang.
