It was also only dinner time, and Zhao Mu, who was bored in the palace, felt that it was too late because he was worried about Rong Zhao, but the excitement outside had just begun.

At this time, Rong Zhao took Zi Ji, Mei Ruo, and Sheng Qiong along the bustling street all the way, and followed the sound of the piano to a delicate three-story building.

Zi Ji is okay, she has seen a lot of markets since she was a child. Mei Ruo is different, she has been in Western Xinjiang since she was a child, this is the first time she has followed Rong Zhao to run such a long way to Shangjing, and when she arrives in this prosperous place of smoke and willows, she has been serving King Rui and Rong Zhao in Xiao Mansion, and she has never come out to go around, and today she followed Rong Zhao out to have fun, and she was very happy all the way.

"Yo, what is this, so gorgeous." Mei Ruo held a half-eaten sugar gourd in her hand and looked up at the three words "Huayue Building" engraved on the plaque at the entrance of the building, and her feet took root, and she didn't want to leave.

"The icing on the cake is drunk between the flowers, and the colorful clouds chase the moon and the moon palace." Rong Zhao read the couplets on both sides of the door of the building, and laughed, "This couplet in Fengyue Field is really interesting!" ”

"Wind Moon Field?" Mei Ruo wondered, "Is this a brothel?" ”

"Or else? What do you think it is? Zi Ji asked with a smile.

Mei Ruo shook her head helplessly, and said with a smile: "I thought it was a good restaurant, you can play this piano so well." ”

"Aunt Man Shu's piano skills in Huayue Tower, in this capital, are called second, but no one dares to say first." Rong Zhao smiled.

"So powerful?" Mei Ruo didn't believe it very much, and chuckled: "What about the violinist in the palace?" Can't she be compared to a Qinglou woman? ”

"The piano skills of the court are naturally good, but if it is about talent, how can it be compared with Miss Manshu in terms of temperament." Rong Zhao chuckled.

"This son is really insightful!" A man in a small hat in a green coat walked out of the Huayue Building, stepped forward and bowed to Rong Zhao, "As soon as I heard what you said, I knew that he was a person who knew the qin." Tonight, our Miss Manshu will come out to play a song, and if you have time, you might as well come in and sit down. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ”

Before Rong Zhao could speak, Mei Ruo took two steps forward with a sugar gourd, circled around the man, and sighed: "This capital is really good, and even the turtle man who solicits business in the brothel is so handsome." What kind of once-in-a-lifetime opportunity do you say, is it true that your Manshu girl has a good piano skill but doesn't come out to greet guests? ”

This young turtle man has great eyesight, seeing a beautiful girl like Mei Ruo come out with a handsome and merry son, and he knows that she must be a concubine without asking, so when he hears his son-in-law coveting the woman next to him, his heart is naturally pantothenic, and it is normal to sneer a few words at this time - not to mention cynicism, there are people who come to the door, and in the end, aren't they all prostitutes who lose double their money? Anyway, Huayuelou is doing business and earning silver. So he hurriedly explained: "The girl doesn't know, our Manshu girl doesn't come out to perform on weekdays, so she comes out to play a tune on the thirtieth night of every month, and today happens to be the thirtieth day of the first month, and you are a coincidence." Besides, our Miss Manshu is the top person in Gongsun Gongzi's heart, and this song is also a song that our mother in Huayuelou has soaked, with the heart of Gongsun Gongzi, don't hide our Manshu girl so that no one can see it? ”

"Gongsun Gongzi? Mo is not the son of Gongsun Quan? Mei Ruo said, turning her head to look at Rong Zhao.

"When the prime minister of the dynasty, Gongsun was forty in his sixties, and his son was a four-grade feudal official, so I was afraid that he would not be so Yaxing to pack an oiran. It should be his grandson, right? Rong Zhao smiled.

"Yo, Childe's accent sounds like you're a foreigner, and you're clear about our going to the capital! Alas, if you don't come, this seat will be full in a while! Gui Gong said with a smile.

Rong Zhao smiled and said: "Naturally, how can Miss Manshu's piano sound be disappointed?" Let's go, today I am generous, please listen to this peerless piano. ”

Mei Ruo flattened her mouth, stuffed the half-eaten sugar gourd in her hand to Gui Gong, and followed Rong Zhao upstairs.

Whether it is the prostitutes in the earthen caves in the western Xinjiang or the oiran in the luxurious mahogany buildings in the capital, as long as the silver is given, they will be treated as if they were guests.

Rong Zhao is rich and good-looking, as soon as he entered the door, he was warmly welcomed by the girls, and the girls he met upstairs all threw flattering eyes at him, and even more generous people came forward to talk.

"I want the best private room, and then find two beautiful girls to pour wine." Rong Zhao raised his hand and slapped a silver ticket of two hundred taels on the old bustard's chest.

The old bustard immediately laughed and trembled, and promised in a loud voice: "No problem, son, don't worry, we have the best wine and the best girl in Huayue Building, you can choose." ”

"That's a good thing, then call your Manshu girl to sing a song." Rong Zhao said with a smile.

"Oh, you're really embarrassed." The old bustard smiled and blessed his body, "Miss Manshu is the sweetheart of the eldest prince of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she just sent 20,000 yuan of silver a while ago, saying that Manshu is not allowed to see guests, let alone show up. You said that we are the ones who open the door to do business, and this girl has become everyone's girlfriend one by one, so we must not drink the northwest wind! Therefore, the slave family begged for a lot, and after a few big cars of nice words, the eldest son of Gongsun was relieved, and only Miss Manshu was allowed to come out and play a song for everyone on the thirtieth night of every month. The old bustard walked to the staircase, stretched out his orchid finger and tapped it up and down, and said with a smile: "Childe, look, the hall on this floor, the private room on the second and third floors, this person is full!" Your private room was originally set by the prince of Pingnan, but just now the people in the Ping'an palace were the prince who couldn't come because of something, so this private room slave dared to give it to you! ”

"Ho!" Rong Zhao stood at the door of this gorgeous private room on the third floor, looking at the extremely tyrant furnishings inside, shaking his head and smacking his tongue, "So this son is still stained with the light of the eldest son of Gongsun?" ”

The old bustard laughed twice, and then asked, "What is your surname?" Where is the house, the slave family looks at you very much, you should be the first time to come to our Huayue Building, right? ”

Rong Zhao smiled and said, "That's right! If it's the first time you visit, shouldn't there be a discount? If this boy is satisfied with this play, he will come again. In fact, my son heard that Lan Gui Lou is excellent, and it was Ruo'er from my family who heard the sound of the piano here and came here. ”

The old bustard smiled all over his face, stretched out his finger and said: "The slave family looks at the son is really handsome, a talent, this girl is raised by the son of the family at a glance, very cultivated, and beautiful and penetrating a lovely child, several upstarts came to our Huayue Building, the slave family really likes it in their hearts, so tonight the child's expenses here, the slave family will give you a 20% discount, how about it?" ”

"Good! Mom, you're happy, we can't buckle the rope and be unhappy. I'll put your best wine in the jar first, and find two girls who can tell jokes. Rong Zhao said, and slapped a ticket on the old bustard's fat chest.

The old bustard took the silver ticket and looked at the denomination on it, and immediately agreed with a smile, and ran to arrange it like a gust of wind around Fu Yifu.

"See the money!" Mei Ruo took a sip of dissatisfaction.

"Ruo'er, you're wrong. People make money. Zi Ji laughed.

Mei Ruo flattened her mouth and snorted: "I don't know how much black money that old bustard has made." ”

"That's not something we can worry about." Zi Ji walked to the couch and looked around, and after finding nothing suspicious, Fang pinched an orange and threw it around in his hand, and walked to the front railing and glanced at the people on the opposite side and the private rooms on both sides, as well as the hall downstairs.

Rong Zhao sat down on the comfortable couch, and Mei Ruo hurriedly took a pillow and put it behind him.

Sheng Qiong stood beside him with a tense face, and the muscles of his whole body were tense as if he was about to fight at any time. Rong Zhao was amused by him, and beckoned and said, "Come, Brother Sheng, sit." ”

"The subordinates should stand." Sheng Qiong said in a muffled voice.

Rong Zhao scolded with a smile: "If you are told to sit, you can sit, where is there so much fucking nonsense?" Today, the master brought you here to have fun, and he didn't ask you to fight, you see that your whole body is as tense as an iron tower, and when the girl comes in later, she will be scared away by you! ”

Zi Ji turned around and came back and sat on the other side of Rong Zhao, one on the other side of Mei Ruo, one pouring tea and one peeling fruit, very thoughtful. Sheng Qiong glanced at the ** scene here, and muttered in a low voice, "Is there still any need to call the girl in?" He sat down across from Rong Zhao.

With a burst of cheerful laughter, the old bustard led two good-looking girls into the private room.

"Quick, say hello to Childe." The old bustard pushed the two girls, and then stepped forward and introduced with a smile: "This is Hunan language, this is Yunyue, these two girls have just come from the teacher, and they haven't served the guests much. As he spoke, he glared at the two girls again, and admonished: "This son is our nobleman, you two must serve well, if the son is not satisfied and does not come to our Huayue Tower next time, see if I don't peel your skin!" ”

The two girls hurriedly agreed, and they came forward to serve Rong Zhao together.

Rong Zhao waved his hand at the old bustard and said You go out, there is nothing to do with you here, just ask someone to bring good wine later. The old bustard smiled and said that he would not disturb the son, and the good wine was sent in immediately, and then he went out with his slender waist and buttocks.

The two girls, Xiangyu and Yunyue, came forward with the corners of their skirts and wanted to sit on Rong Zhao's left and right, but Mei Ruo and Zi Ji were guarding their place and no one gave them a place.

Xiangyu is a straight person, so he stepped forward and blessed his body and called Mei Ruo a sister. That means please get out of the way and let us serve Childe.

Mei Ruodang smiled, leaned on Rong Zhao's shoulder on one side, turned her head and asked Xiangyu, "Do you think you are more handsome than me?" Or do you think you know our son's temperament better than I do, and you know how to serve better than me? ”

"But isn't the son who came to our Huayue Building to spend money to find a girl, just because he was dissatisfied with his sister?" Xiang asked Mei Ruo rhetorically.

"If Childe is willing to be with his sister every day, why spend a lot of money to come to us?" Wan Yue also added.

Mei Ruo became anxious when she heard this, and she wanted to stand up and teach these two girls who didn't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the sky, but she was pulled by Rong Zhao: "Hey, we are here today to spend money and have fun, you can't fight." Well, I'm not just a man here, so what...... What's your name? Hunan language, right? Your name is good, and it has the same name as the ancient hero Xiang Yu, so you sit next to that brother and pour him a bar. Rong Zhao pointed at Sheng Qiong and smiled.

"Childe, I'm ......" Sheng Qiong immediately became uncomfortable.

"Sit well, just let the two little sisters pour you wine and tell jokes, and don't pull you to bed, look at your little bit of talent!" Rong Zhao scolded with a smile.

Sheng Qiong closed his mouth and didn't dare to say more. And the two girls glanced at Sheng Qiong, although they said that the man was very heroic, and he looked like a practitioner, but compared to the little boy who was pink and jade, even if he was a prostitute, he also had a love for beauty. So both of them were a little unhappy.

Seeing this, Rong Zhao couldn't help but smile and asked, "Why don't you want to accompany my friend?" That son doesn't force it, Ruo'er, go and call the old bustard, the master wants to change people. ”

"No, no, Childe forgives his sins, Childe should not be angry." Wan Yue hurriedly explained, "It's not that the slave family is unwilling, it's that this master looks very fierce, and the slave family is a little afraid." ”

"Don't be afraid, he won't eat you again." Rong Zhao said with a smile.

Zi Ji snorted coldly: "You are also well-informed, what kind of man has not seen it?" Still afraid of him like this? Don't pretend, either sit down or go out and change. Where is so much nonsense? Our grandfather is so excited that you two will be defeated! ”

"Can you do it? No, hurry up and replace! Mei Ruo said, already standing up and walking towards the door.

"Sister, sister, don't call, we listen to you!" Xiang Yu hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Mei Ruo's arm.

Mei Ruo slapped Xiangyu's hand away with her backhand, frowned, and said, "Who told you to touch me?!" ”

"Okay Ruo'er, don't bully others. It's not easy for everyone, wouldn't it be nice to be considerate of each other? Rong Zhao stood up and pretended to be a good person at this time, got up and grabbed Mei Ruo's shoulder, winked at Xiangyu again, and took the person back to the couch and sat down.

Xiang Yu and Wan Yue glanced at each other, and no longer dared to pick and choose, and the two of them sat obediently on both sides of Sheng Qiong.

"Come, drink." Rong Zhao raised his wine glass and threw winks at the two girls.

Xiang Yu and Yun Yue were flattered, and hurriedly picked up the wine glass and accompanied Rong Zhao to drain the wine in the glass.

"Well, happy! Unexpectedly, the two beauties are not very good-tempered, but the amount of alcohol is high. Come on, let's drink three glasses in a row! Rong Zhao said, and asked Mei Ruo to pour wine.

"The son should not drink too much, this cup is from the slave family." Mei Ruo said sourly: "The two girls are well-informed people, and the amount of wine must be excellent, this small cup of drinking is really not enjoyable enough, it is better to change to a big glass." ”

"Okay, here you go!" Rong Zhao pinched Mei Ruo's cheek dotingly, and said to Xiang Yu and Wan Yue: "Change the big cup, change the big cup!" ”

Xiangyu and Yunyue looked at each other and smiled bitterly, thinking that they had never seen anyone running with a concubine, and this son's style was really the first in Shangjing. However, what people give is money, and the two of them sell their bodies, no matter whether they prostitute or not, as long as they give money, they don't have a word, so the two of them accompanied Mei Ruo to drink three glasses in a row.

Next is Zi Ji, then Sheng Qiong, Xiang Yu and Wan Yue accompanied these people to drink three cups each, and they were a little drunk.

Inside was talking and laughing, and a clear piano sound suddenly sounded outside, like a cracked silk, and like a phoenix. This is followed by a ding-dong melody, slow and smooth, with deep childlike affection. Rong Zhao pinched the wine glass and couldn't help but shout: "Good song!" ”

"This isn't the song that Miss Manshu plays." Xiang Yu chuckled.

"Oh? Isn't this Miss Manshu playing the piano? Rong Zhao was really surprised.

"This is Miss Manshu's personal maid playing the opening song." Yun Yue poured wine for Sheng Qiong and explained to Rong Zhao.

"Can a personal maid play so well? It can be seen how superb this Manshu girl's piano skills are. Rong Zhao smacked his tongue and praised.

"When it's time to arrive, Sister Manshu will come as promised." Wan Yue said, and gave Sheng Qiong vegetables again.

Rong Zhao asked Xiangyu with a gossipy face: "As soon as my son arrived in the capital, he heard the name of Miss Manshu in his ears, and the name of this Miss Manshu crushed the Lanxiang girl in the opposite Languilou to death, I heard that for this matter, then the Lanxiang girl is going to leave Beijing and go to Jiangnan?" ”

"Yo, the son knows about this?" Yunyue smiled smugly and glanced at Xiangyu.

Xiang Yu said with a smile: "That Xiangwu girl has taken root in the capital with a good voice, but now she has been compared to our Manshu girl, I heard that Zhao Hai, the prince of Pingnan, who has always been spoiled by her, has not been to Languilou for more than ten days." The fragrant girl was hoarse when she cried. ”

Rong Zhao blinked a pair of peach blossom eyes and pinched his pointed chin, and sighed with a gossip of twelve minutes: "The prince of Pingnan was also hooked to Huayue Tower by this Manshu girl?" By the way, this son has heard that Zhao Hai is as good as Longyang, why is he also ...... to you Miss Manshu Haha, then you Huayuelou is really making a fortune. ”

"Son, you probably heard what you said, the prince of Pingnan is not as good as Longyang, but the prince of Xiangnan is Zhao Mo...... I always like handsome little guys.。 Xiangyu chuckled and shook his head.

Yun Yue saw that Rong Zhao listened carefully, and said flatteringly: "I heard that the prince of Pingnan invited the eldest prince of Gongsun and several powerful sons and sons to gather in the palace at the palace a few days ago, and wanted to invite our Miss Manshu to come over to have a show, but Miss Manshu was not feeling well, so she didn't go. "Yun Yue said that there was a bit of a sour back--the prince of Pingnan didn't invite him to go, what a big shelf this must be!

"Oh, then you Manshu girls are bold enough. To put it bluntly, she is just a Qinglou woman, and her fame is also because of those powerful people. If you don't know what to do, aren't you afraid of offending the Pingnan Palace? Rong Zhao asked with a smile.

Xiang Yu shook his head with a smile: "Childe only knows one but doesn't know the other!" This Pingnan Mansion naturally can't afford to offend, but Miss Manshu has the support of the Gongsun family behind her! No matter how big the prince of Pingnan is, he can't help but give face to Concubine Xian and King Su, right? ”

Rong Zhao nodded and said with a smile: "This makes sense, or the Hunan girl understands." Here, let's have another drink. ”

In this way, Rong Zhao coaxed, Mei Ruo and Zi Ji were scared, the three of them sang me and Cong Xiang Yu and Yun Yue's mouths set a lot of gossip, useful and useless, chatted about gossip all night, and waited for Miss Manshu to play three tunes and close the stall, Rong Zhao was drunk and lay on Zi Ji's shoulder and walked out of Huayue Tower. Before leaving, he pinched the little faces of the two girls, and one of them gave a red gold eight-treasure hairpin.

The two girls were very happy in their hearts, originally only accompanied by wine, it was only a few taels of silver for the appearance fee, and the silver was not received by the bustard, and they could not get any benefit, but now they have gold without effort, so they are naturally very happy.

The old bustard of Huayuelou is also very happy, such a handsome and extraordinary son, as soon as he looks at the dress, he knows that he is either rich or expensive, and he also takes two maids when he goes out, and asks a table of flowers and wine to give a few hundred taels of silver, and obediently sits in the private room to drink and listen to music and never make trouble.

Everyone was quite satisfied this night, and the only one who was dissatisfied was Ruiwang Zhao Mu.

Zhao Mu began to ask Rong Zhao from dinner, and waited until the time when Huo Yun came in and said that Rong Shizi was back, immediately Zhao Mu looked at the hourglass, and then listened to the sound of the waiter outside, sighed long, and asked, "Do you know where he went?" ”

"It seems that I went to Huayue Tower, drank wine, and Miss Mei and Miss Ziji also drank, and when I came back, a few people were still talking and laughing, it should be a lot of fun." Huo Yun cautiously glanced at Zhao Mu's face, and didn't find anything wrong, so he said everything he saw and heard.

"Good." Zhao Mu responded lightly, then lay back on the pillow and closed his eyes.

Huo Yun stood for a while without seeing the prince's orders, and was quietly bowing down and preparing to retreat, when the prince suddenly spoke again: "How are you doing to keep an eye on Lan Gui Lou?" ”

"Oh, my subordinates found out that the girl named Lanxiang had a falling out with Zhao Mo in the past few days, and she was very lonely, and she intended to pack up her things and go back to Jiangnan."

"Falling out? Back to Jiangnan? Zhao Mu slowly opened his eyes and looked at the top of the tent, and said after a long time: "Keep an eye on her, don't allow her to leave the capital for half a step." ”

"Yes." Huo Yun hurriedly agreed.

"Tomorrow morning, when you go to tell the prince of Rong Shizi, you will say that the king is not feeling well, and ask him to come over at breakfast." Zhao Mu said again.

"Yes, my subordinates remember." Huo Yun agreed, and seeing that the prince closed his eyes again and didn't speak for a long time, Fang quietly retreated.

Early in the morning of the second day, before Rong Zhao got up, Huo Yun came over to invite him, saying that the prince was a little uncomfortable last night, and asked the prince to come over and take a look.

Rong Zhao yawned and said dissatisfiedly: "If you are uncomfortable, call a doctor to diagnose the pulse, I am not Langzhong." ”

Huo Yun, who was outside the screen, bowed down with a smile and replied: "Lord Shizi, don't your subordinates dare to tell the prince about this, you should be a poor subordinate, so let's go over quickly." ”

Rong Zhao wiped his face with a hot hand towel, took the mouthwash from Mei Ruo's hand, rinsed his mouth, and walked out.

"Childe, it's cold outside, put on a cloak." Mei Ruo hurriedly took the cloak and chased after Rong Zhao to drape it on her shoulders, and asked, "Can you come back for breakfast?" ”

"You don't have to wait for me, when I will come back and when I will eat. You eat yours first, and then it is important to finish your meal and do your business. Rong Zhao walked out as he spoke, in fact, when he heard Huo Yun say that Zhao Mu was uncomfortable, he was still quite anxious.

Zhao Mu actually got up, and as if he was waiting for Rong Zhao, he also changed into a cotton robe with a new royal blue silver thread embroidered with crane lingzhi pattern, and he was even more pale with bright satin and white silver fox fur, but his eyes were blazing, and his spirit looked very good.

"The prince is unwell?" Rong Zhao asked hesitantly, thinking that it looked so good like this, where was the slightest discomfort?

"I felt a little depressed last night, I didn't sleep well at night, and I woke up two or three times. The king wondered if there was something wrong to eat or drink, and he was very frightened, so he specially invited Rong Shizi to come over and take a look. Zhao Mu said, pointed to the other side of the small kang table, coughed twice, and said, "Shizi, please sit down first." ”

Rong Zhao sat down on the couch, stretched out his hand to cut Zhao Mu's pulse, and carefully diagnosed it for a long time, and said: "The prince is weak, and he must rest in peace." If you think too much, you can't sleep well, it's not good for your body. ”

"I also want to sleep well, there are so many messy things, I can't sleep when I think about it." Zhao Mu sighed helplessly.

Rong Zhao couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "The prince is an understanding person, and there are some things that should not be persuaded by others." As the saying goes, the body is the foundation of all things. If the body is not well maintained, all ideals and ambitions are empty talk. Therefore, at this time, no matter how many things the prince has in his heart, he must let go of it first, and then take care of his body first. ”

Zhao Mu shook his head lightly and smiled helplessly: "That's what I said, I also understand the reason." It's one thing to just understand, it's another to be able to do it. As he spoke, Zhao Mu raised his hand and pointed to his head and sighed: "Sometimes I think very clearly here, but I always sing the opposite tone in my heart, what do you say about this?" ”

Rong Zhao spread his hands with a smile and said, "I can't help it." Maybe you should ask the Buddha or the Taishang Laojun, maybe they can help you. ”

"Well, I'm afraid no one has an answer to such a question, since I don't have any problems with my body and just need to recuperate, let's recuperate. I hurriedly invited you over, I must not have had breakfast yet, right? I'm alone anyway, do you mind being together? Zhao Mu asked with a smile.

Rong Zhao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Originally, I was a guest in the mansion, and the food was naturally the prince's." There is no difference between eating here and going back. ”

"It's no different for you, it's not the same for me." Zhao Mu said, turned his head and instructed Mama Song: "Tell them to bring breakfast up." ”

Mama Song promised to go out, and Rong Zhaofang asked, "What's the difference?" ”

"You sit across from me and eat, I'm more at ease." Zhao Mu said, and shook his head with a smile, "At least don't worry about the poison in the food, don't worry about eating it." ”

Rong Zhao smiled and said, "It turns out that I am a drug tester." ”

Zhao Mu also laughed, and the two sat opposite each other, and the atmosphere was excellent. Huo Yun, who was standing next to him, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, originally he thought that the prince would quarrel when he called Rong Shizi early in the morning, but he didn't expect the prince to say nothing about last night's incident, but this made Huo Yun very puzzled, why did the prince think about it?

Mama Song came in with four maids carrying warm food boxes, opened them and put four cover cups on the small kang table, the cover cup was opened, and there were four hot dishes stewed rotten, including stewed lotus root with pork ribs, stewed mutton meatballs with shredded radish, and a steamed shrimp egg custard and a vegetarian fried yam slices. In addition, there are two boxes of crystal buns with vegetarian filling, and two bowls of black rice porridge. Rong Zhao had tasted every meal, and Fang said to Zhao Mu, "You can eat it." Zhao Mu picked up the chopsticks and began to eat.

"I'm still competent as a drug tester, right?" Rong Zhao asked with a smile.

Zhao Mu ate a piece of yam, nodded and said, "Yes, it's better than a silver needle." ”

"Then you'll have to pay for it! You can't call people in vain. Rong Zhao said seriously.

"Yes," Zhao Mu said, raised his head and thought about it seriously, and smiled again: "I care about your food, your accommodation, and your spending, how about it?" ”

"It's okay to eat and live, you have a house in the palace, do you eat, I can't eat you with such a big belly, do you care about spending money...... Are you sure you can handle me? Rong Zhao asked thoughtfully.

"With food and shelter, what else can you spend?" Zhao Mu said, took another crystal bun and took a bite, "Well, this cabbage vermicelli stuffing tastes good." ”

"That's a lot...... Rong Zhao also reached out and took a bite of a crystal bun and put it in his mouth, chewed it hard and swallowed it twice, but he wanted to say something but was choked, Zhao Mu smiled and handed over half a bowl of soup.

After drinking two mouthfuls of soup and washing the buns down, Rong Zhao put down the soup bowl and broke his fingers and said: "Tour the mountains, play in the water, soak in beauties, enjoy flowers, drink tea, and visit Qinglou...... Which one doesn't cost money? ”

"Bubble ...... Beauty? Zhao Mu asked suspiciously.

Rong Zhao was stunned for a moment, and explained casually: "Ah, it's just to find a beauty to chat for a day, drink tea, play chess, talk about love or something, collectively referred to as 'bubble beauty', this is the village dialect I learned from Qiangrong in the northwest, you are a noble emperor, and it is normal to not understand." ”

Zhao Mu felt a pang in his heart when he heard this, but asked quietly: "Do you have a favorite beauty?" Which girl is it, do you want me to find the official media to come to your door to say goodbye? ”

Rong Zhao stared at Zhao Mu seriously and was stunned for a while before he snorted and laughed: "Don't be funny!" Lord, do you think any lady in this imperial capital city would like a man like me? ”

Hearing Rong Zhao ridicule himself like this, Zhao Mu didn't like it from the bottom of his heart, so he immediately shook his head and objected: "What's wrong with you?" You have to have an identity, you have to have a good look, you are a serious young talent in the eyes of those girls, as long as they see you, I am afraid they will secretly go back to the old moon to incense, praying to marry a wishful man like you. ”

"Poof......" Rong Zhao turned his head and squirted half of the porridge in his mouth into the spittoon.

Zhao Mu sighed helplessly and handed over the handkerchief in his hand, Rong Zhao took it and wiped his mouth indiscriminately, Fang smiled: "Lord Wang, are you making fun of me?" A prodigal like me who can't resist his shoulders and can't lift his hands, but he doesn't learn and has no skills, it's too late for a good girl to hide! Those who go home and secretly incense Yue Lao and are willing to marry me, if they are not some ugly girls who can't get married, they are all people with ulterior motives. ”

"Well, people with ulterior motives...... There is some truth to it. It's hard to think so. Zhao Mu fortunately put down the porridge bowl, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief from Rong Zhao's hand, and said: "I was originally worried that you would be blinded by the prosperity of the capital, but now it seems that you can keep calm, which is really commendable." ”

"No, wait! Lord, are you praising me or belittling me? Why do I feel so uncomfortable? Rong Zhao glared at Zhao Mu and asked.

Zhao Mu looked at Rong Zhao's appearance with satisfaction and smiled without saying a word, only picked up the porridge bowl to eat, but secretly sighed in his heart, thinking that he was also crazy, how could he tell him such nonsense words. Didn't you plan to call him over to bang and knock? It's good now...... What nonsense is this.

Mama Song, who served next to her, was even more depressed, the prince was taught by Concubine De Niangniang to "eat without saying anything", this is good, eating breakfast and even telling jokes, not only talking and laughing but also spraying rice, what is this like! It's all this Rong Zhao who brought the prince badly!

However, Rong Zhao lost his appetite after being sneered by Zhao Mu for a few words, and pushed the rice bowl and said that he was full and asked for tea to rinse his mouth.

The maid next to her hurriedly handed over the mouthwash tea and offered the spittoon.

Watching Rong Zhao rinse his mouth, Zhao Mu also felt full, and then calculated that he seemed to have eaten two buns and a bowl of porridge for breakfast, as well as two pork ribs and lotus roots, so he gently rubbed his stomach and sighed: "It seems that I have eaten too much this morning!" ”

Rong Zhao looked back at Zhao Mu's lazy appearance, and suddenly remembered how hateful this guy looked when he was in Xiliang City, but now he is much better, soft and cute like a child, so he smiled: "Don't be afraid of eating too much, you will almost digest it after a hundred and ten circles in the house for a while." ”

"I don't want to go, I don't have any strength on my body, I don't want to stand." Zhao Mu leaned on the pillow, watched Mama Song take the maid to move the small kang table in front of her and replace it with another one, and put the refreshments and fruits on the table, Fang sighed again: "Rong Zhao, you say, when should this king's disease get better?" ”

"Huh?" Rong Zhao was puzzled for a while, and looked at Zhao Mu hesitantly.

Zhao Mu looked back at him with a slight smile, pursed his lips and did not speak.

Rong Zhao suddenly realized, Zhao Mu was thinking of taking this opportunity to lure the snake out of the hole, right? But if you think about it carefully, he has already moved back to the palace from the Xiao Mansion with great fanfare, can he still pretend that he is sick and not poisonous? The other party is not so mentally retarded, right?

Zhao Mu saw through Rong Zhao's mind at a glance, and sighed softly: "I think that the limelight was too strong in the first two years. The so-called tree is a big wind, from now on, it is better to take this opportunity to keep the light and slowly figure it out. Anyway, my father is still in his prime, if we are too powerful as princes, we will also be tabooed by his old man, what do you say? ”

When Rong Zhao heard this, he couldn't help but secretly stir up, thinking that this is the wise king who is full of wealth and talent, right? It's ridiculous that I just thought he was as soft and cute as a child, and it turned out that he was pretending to be a qiē!

"Rong Zhao?" Zhao Mu saw that Rong Zhao didn't speak, so he raised his voice to call him.

"Hmm...... Well? Rong Zhao came back to his senses, smiled and said, "The prince said that Taoguang is obscure, which is very good." Since it is Taoguang to recuperate, there is no need to say that the illness is not yet cured, only to say to the outside world that the body has injured its vitality at the beginning of the serious illness and needs to be recuperated quietly, and many things, especially the government and government, should not be asked. ”

Zhao Mu nodded lightly and said, "That's what I mean, we want to go together." ”

"That's it! You can rest assured at home, I still have important things to go out, see you back! Rong Zhao said, got up and walked out.

"You wait." Zhao Mu said slowly.

"Lord, what else do you command?" Rong Zhao looked at the door and asked a little impatiently.

"When you come back, I still have important things to tell you." Zhao Mu frowned slightly, and said with a straight face.

Rong Zhao didn't look like he was joking, so he turned around and sat opposite him, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea, and said, "Lord Wang, if you have something to say, I'll listen to you." ”

"Before, Yunxin's nurse Liao confessed, saying that the poison that their mother and son gave me was given to her by the people of the Zhou family, and then said that she had never seen the person who gave her the poison, but just passed in what she needed to eat, and let Qingya put it into my meals or soups, and succeeded again and again. also said that Zhou Yueting and Zhao Mo are very good, and Zhao Mo is Zhao Hai's person, from this series of confessions, what do you think is the most critical condition for finding out the mastermind behind the scenes? ”

Liao's confession, Rong Zhao thought about it almost every night, so he had already figured out the key to it. It's just that when Zhao Mu asked at this time, his mind turned back and forth, and he thought of some things that he hadn't thought about before, so he pinched the teacup and pondered carefully for a long time, and asked Zhao Mu: "There are no outsiders today, Rong Zhao dares to ask the prince something." I wonder if the prince can meet with sincerity? ”

Zhao Mu nodded lightly and said, "Please speak." ”

"I heard that the prince has been trying to persuade the emperor to take the road of imperial examinations before, but I don't know if the prince just wants to give the world's poor scholars a way out? Or is it so that I can sit in that position and be in charge of the world in the future? Rong Zhao's words were very light, but the words were like a thousand catties, smashing on Zhao Mu's heart.

Since he was a child, Zhao Mu has taken the world as his own responsibility, and when he was enlightened, his mother sued him, saying that he was the emperor's son, and he had the blood of the Xiao family in his body, so he must do something for the common people in the world. In this way, Zhao Mu thought it was true since he was a child, and when he grew up, he saw that one of his two brothers was brave and good at fighting but only stared at the power of the nobility, and the other was addicted to antique calligraphy and painting, and was not interested in political affairs at all, so he thought that this world and that dragon chair should belong to him.

However, if you think so, you will do it towards this goal. But no one has ever said it so clearly, and he has never had such thoughts about anyone else. After all, the emperor is in the prime of life, and anyone who talks about such a thing is guilty of taboo and is suspected of rebellion.
