Taifu was so angry all morning, but what could he do?

The big white dog lying on his stomach outside the door could make him block all the anger in his stomach, and he couldn't let out the slightest bit.

finally got through to the end of class, the master put the book in a volume, dropped a sentence: "You study by yourself in the afternoon" and left in a hurry, and when he went out, he had to sneak by the door, far away from the big white dog.

"Alas! You said that in these years, why is it so difficult to study diligently! Rong Zhao looked at the scattered classmates, and sighed while stacking up his textbooks.

"Brother Rong, it's not a day or two to be diligent and motivated, the body is the foundation." Xu Jian walked in front of Rong Zhao, looking at his lazy appearance, he felt funny, how can a famous general who grew up on the battlefield in Western Xinjiang be as weak as a woman after that?

"What I said is, if I have Xu Gongzi's figure, I don't have to worry about anything!" Rong Zhao stood up with the book, walked out with Xu Jian, and said with a smile: "I, I'm carrying a big knife to kill the enemy on the battlefield in Western Xinjiang!" As he spoke, he made a thoughtful gesture.

Xu Jian looked at him like that, smiled and shook his head: "Wei Gongzi is right, your bones are indeed not suitable for martial arts. ”

"You people were taught by a master, right?" Rong Zhao rolled Xu Jian's eyes, and just saw Wei Cheng standing next to the bamboo, so he picked his chin, "Oh, I just said that Wei Gongzi, isn't that?" ”

Xu Jian smiled: "I asked him to wait for the two of us." There's nothing to do in the afternoon, so let's go find a place to eat at noon? ”

Rong Zhao looked up to the sky and sighed, pretending to be deep and said, "Alas! This son is just going to be angry and diligent today, and there are fox friends and dog friends who come to hook up with dogs and horses, how do you say this is good? ”

Xu Jian was amused by him like this, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Young Master Rong, fox friends and dog friends are used to hook up, and as for the sound of dogs and horses, it is also the joy of life!" Don't be too pedantic and boring. ”

Wei Cheng turned around when he heard the two people talking, revealing a helpless expression.

"Master Wei, long time no see." When Rong Zhao saw Wei Cheng, he remembered that this guy was walking in front of the saint statue, and he immediately felt very happy, so he hugged his fist and greeted him.

"Young Master Rong, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you well?" Wei Chengmu returned the salute with a fist on his face.

"Alright, alright! In other words, if I had half of Wei Gongzi's strength, I wouldn't be so weak! Rong Zhao's peach blossom eyes swept around Wei Cheng's body, and he saw that the black-faced Wei Gongzi's ears were a little bloody before he was satisfied with it.

"Rong Gongzi, don't make trouble, let's go." Xu Jian was afraid that Wei Cheng would be unhappy, so he interrupted Rong Zhao's prank with a smile, "I'm starving, hurry up and eat." ”

The three of them walked out side by side, and their respective entourages also followed, with Huo Yun and Mei Ruo following on Rong Zhao's side, and Sheng Qiong and Qingya staying in Guozijian. Xu Jian turned around and smiled when he saw Mei Ruo: "Brother Rong, don't you come, come to study and bring a maid to warm the bed?" ”

Rong Zhao's face was not red or his heart was beating, and he smiled calmly: "No way, I have been used to being served by this girl since I was a child, and I can't even sleep well when I change people around me." In order not to make things like that happen before, I had to bring her with me - oops, the brothers don't mind, right? ”

"Don't mind, don't mind!" Xu Jian said with a smile.

"Why bother what others think." Wei Cheng glanced at Mei Ruo lightly.

"Sure enough, good brother! I'll invite you to this meal today. Rong Zhao said with a smile.

The group walked out of the gate of Guozijian and walked along Jixian Street, discussing which restaurant to go to with good food and wine, when they heard someone shouting: "Rong Zhao, you are really here." ”

Rong Zhao was taken aback, thinking to himself that he hadn't provoked anyone other than Gu Mingxuan who cried yesterday, which girl came to the door again?

"Oops." Xu Jian shouted in surprise, and hurriedly took two steps forward and bowed: "I've seen Princess Anping." ”

Seeing this, Wei Cheng also stepped forward to salute, and the entourage of the Xu family and the Wei family also knelt down in the street.

Seeing this, the people who came and went on the street either avoided one after another, or also knelt down and kowtowed to Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Only Rong Zhao was still standing upright there, pinching his chin and looking at Zhao Mei frowning-Aren't you out of the palace to take care of your maternal uncle and cousin's marriage? How can you still have the time to run around the streets? It's really ignorant.

"Rong Zhao." Zhao Mei didn't look at anyone, just walked over to Rong Zhao, and didn't care about his faux pas, only picked his chin and said, "Come here, this palace has a few words to ask you." ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess, you see so many people kneeling, what do you have to say, let everyone get up first, what should you do, let's talk, don't delay other people's business." Rong Zhao smiled.

Zhao Mei glanced at the people around him and said disdainfully, "You all get up." ”

The people next to them got up after thanking them, and the timid ones who had planned to watch the excitement saw that the situation was not right and hurriedly left. Only Wei Cheng and Xu Jian were with Rong Zhao, and there was no way to leave Rong Zhao alone, so he gave color to their respective servants and told them to retreat to the side to separate those bold onlookers.

"Rong Zhao! Let me ask you, does my cousin's death have anything to do with you? Zhao Mei asked with a small face.

Rong Zhao asked funny: "This is really strange!" How did Zhou Yueting die Jingzhao Mansion has already been recorded, what does this matter have to do with Lao Tzu? Princess, if you ask about this, I'm really sorry, please go to Jingzhao Mansion and ask. I Rong Zhao really can't care about such a big thing. After speaking, Rong Zhao turned around and left, and greeted Wei Cheng and Xu Jian: "Let's go, let's eat, my good appetite is gone." ”

Xu Jian and Wei Cheng arched their hands towards Zhao Mu, and before the sentence "Your Majesty retires" in his mouth was said, Zhao Mei turned around and ran over to block Rong Zhao's way, and asked with red eyes: "It really has nothing to do with you?" ”

Rong Zhao couldn't help but smile when he saw Zhao Mei's aggrieved appearance: "If you don't believe it, Xu Gongzi was also there when the incident happened, you can ask him." ”

Xu Jian saw that Zhao Mei was entangled, so he stepped forward to excuse Rong Zhao and said, "Princess, this matter really has nothing to do with Rong Zhao, he is a witness at most." There are records of the Jingzhao Mansion and the Criminal Department of the major events that matter to human life, and if you don't believe it, you can go and ask the Holy Decree to check it. ”

Zhao Mei didn't look at Xu Jian, only waved his hand at him and said, "It's none of your business here, let's step down." ”

Xu Jian was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look back at Wei Cheng.

Wei Cheng was already annoyed, so without saying a word, he bowed to Zhao Mu and turned around and left.

In this way, Xu Jian couldn't go on any longer, so he had to wave his hand at Rong Zhao and say, "I'll go to the restaurant in front of me to order food and wait for you." Then he followed Wei Cheng and walked away.

Rong Zhao smiled helplessly and scolded "not enough friends" and could only let them go, and then turned to Zhao Mei and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, you are not hungry, but I am hungry." It's not easy to talk to people on this street, so let's talk about something else? ”

"Then let's find a convenient place to talk." Zhao Mei said.

"This is not good, Your Royal Highness Princess, today I am going to invite Xu Gongzi and Wei Gongzi to dinner, if I slip away, they will have to scold me for defaulting on my debts. You're also very busy, so I won't delay your efforts blindly, and I'll see you back. After Rong Zhao finished speaking, he arched his hand towards Zhao Mei and turned around and left.

Zhao Mei suddenly reached out and grabbed Rong Zhao's sleeve and said, "Rong Zhao! This princess has something to say to you, do you dare to listen? ”

"Uh......h Barking! The blood spot that had been circling around next to him didn't dare to pounce on and bite this time, but he barked at Zhao Mei with his teeth bared, seeing Zhao Mei grabbing Rong Zhao's clothes, this guy was about to pounce on him, but fortunately he was held down by Mei Ruo.

Rong Zhao turned his head and scolded, seeing that there were more and more onlookers in the same place, and he also felt that it was not good to pull and pull on the street with a princess, so he nodded and said: "Okay, princess, whatever you say, you let your subordinates do what they want, okay?" Please let go, Your Highness the Princess! ”

Only then did Zhao Mei let go of her hand, looked around, and raised her hand to point to a teahouse: "Go there and say." ”

"Okay." Rong Zhao didn't have the heart to think about anything this time, and obediently followed Zhao Mei into the teahouse.

Zhao Mei was generous, and when she entered the door, she asked the grandmother who followed her to take out a silver ingot of fifty taels to drive out all the tea drinkers inside. She is a princess, and no one dares to worry about her when she shows her identity, so a very lively teahouse instantly quiets down.

The shopkeeper personally served the best tea and the best dim sum fruits, and then was driven out by Zhao Mei with a wave of his hand. Not only the people in the teahouse, but also the blood spots that Huo Yunmeiruo and Zhao Mei had always liked and the few entourages that Zhao Mei brought with him were all driven outside to serve, and there were only two of them in the hall of the teahouse.

Zhao Mei didn't drink tea or eat, stared at Rong Zhao and asked the first sentence: "Rong Zhao, do you like Gu Mingxuan?" ”

“…… Belch? Rong Zhao almost burned his tongue with hot tea.

"Do you like people like Gu Mingxuan? Where is she better than Hongu? Looks? Hongu is better looking than her in the far north! Family? This palace is the dignity of the princess, a hundred times more noble than her! Temperament? Or something else? Zhao Mei asked menacingly.

"No, no, no......" Rong Zhao waved his hand again and again, "You don't want to compare, you all have your own good ......"

As soon as Zhao Mei heard this, he immediately slapped the table: "What?!" Do you still want to hug left and right! Who are you to be in Hongu? This palace is not the lord of Linyang! ”

In the face of this, Zhao Meirong Zhao had a splitting headache, so he simply didn't say anything.

Zhao Mei roared twice and saw that Rong Zhao didn't speak, she was also deflated, sat back and sighed, and asked Rong Zhao: "What is wrong with me?" You say, can't I change it? I like you so much, why don't you like me? ”

Rong Zhao sighed solemnly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, what do you like about me?" Say, "Shall I change my career?" ”

"You ......" Zhao Mei was dazzled by this sentence, and almost smashed the tea cup in his hand on Rong Zhao's head, "Aren't you a bastard?!" ”

"Zhao Mei." Rong Zhao straightened his waist and looked at Zhao Mei coldly, "You like me, that's your business." I don't like you, it's also true. In this world, whoever you like does not necessarily like you. I like this kind of thing by feeling, and there is no reason to speak of it. You like me, I know, I don't object or respond, that's my greatest respect for you. But if you want me to like you in the name of 'liking', I'm sorry, I can't. ”

When Zhao Mei heard this, she suddenly didn't know what to do - she was taught by Concubine Jin and the queen since she was a child, the princess is the most noble daughter in the world, and she is the only princess in the emperor, and the man in this world is naturally she can marry whoever she wants, and no one wants to marry her.

But now Rong Zhao's words were different from anything she had heard before, but there was no way to refute them, which deeply shattered her inherent views and made her at a loss.

"Does Her Royal Highness have anything else to say? If not, I'll have to go to dinner. Rong Zhao said, got up and walked out.

"You can't go!" Zhao Mei blocked again.

Rong Zhao stopped and waited for her to speak, but Zhao Mei didn't know what to say, and after a long time, Fang asked, "Then who do you like?" ”

"Hehe......" Rong Zhao smiled and said, "I like myself." ”

"You like yourself?" Zhao Mei didn't react for a while, so she blocked a sentence: "You can't marry yourself if you like yourself......"

"Your Royal Highness Princess, you are not sober now, I will build yì, you better go back and sleep well and come back to talk to me." After Rong Zhao finished speaking, he smiled charmingly and turned to leave.

*

In the private room on the second floor of the restaurant, Wei Cheng and Xu Jian were worried about the dishes on the table, and Rong Zhao came in with a smile.

"Oh, are you really waiting for me? Sure enough, good brother. With that, Rong Gongzi took a seat with the corner of his robe.

"Childe, wait a minute." Mei Ruo hurriedly took a handkerchief and wet it with water to wipe Rong Zhao's hands.

"Young Master Rong, you will really enjoy it." Xu Jian glanced at Mei Ruo enviously, "Such a handsome beauty dares to take it out, not afraid of being robbed?" ”

"See?" Rong Zhao glanced towards the door, where there was his beloved blood spot, "This guy will kiss her except me, who dares to rob it, I promise, and it won't agree." ”

"Hahaha...... Yours is it! Xu Jian laughed loudly.

Even Wei Cheng, who was not good at smiling, laughed along.

Rong Zhao turned his head again and instructed Mei Ruo: "Okay, you go get something to eat with blood, don't stand here, let me have a good word with Wei Gongzi Xu Gongzi." ”

Mei Ruo hurriedly answered, turned around and went out.

Xu Jian picked up the chopsticks and put a chicken leg in his bowl, and sighed angrily: "Young Master Rong, you are so beautiful, even Princess Anping favors you, let's not count on it, it's important to eat something good to replenish your body." ”

As soon as he said this, Wei Cheng couldn't help but ask: "Rong Zhao, does Princess Anping really want to marry you?" ”

"Hey, I beg you two, can we stop talking about it?" Rong Zhao said, and clenched his fists at the two of them and begged for mercy, "It's good to leave a little bit of food for my brother." Otherwise, I won't give you any money later. ”

Xu Jian and Wei Cheng looked at each other and smiled, and the two of them shook their heads at the same time, and sure enough, they didn't mention this stubble again.

……

But it was said that Qingya really became a celebrity after following Rong Zhao back to the country, and it happened that Sheng Qiong was not good at talking and kept a cold face, as if everyone owed him eight hundred hangings, and those princes' entourage wanted to inquire about Rong Zhao, so they all came to Qingya.

Qingya is also good-tempered, and he is not annoyed by asking some boring questions many times, repeating them to those people over and over again, such as, yes, yesterday Rong Shizi and the prince went out of the city; I went to the banquet of the Gu family, I didn't go, I didn't know the truth, Rong Shizi was sick for a long time after he went back.

In the big kitchen of Guozijian, people turned on their backs, and a fierce-faced person sent it from behind and patted Qingya's shoulder: "You, shut up, you can't stop talking, it's annoying!" ”

When the people saw the man, they scattered as birds and beasts.

Qingya didn't drive away, but just glanced at the man, lowered his head, and began to gulp rice into his mouth.

"I'll go to the bamboo forest next to the latrine in the northwest corner in a moment."

"Hmm." Qingya nodded with a large mouthful of mixed noodles in his mouth.

A quarter of an hour later, Qingya had eaten his fill, washed the rice bowl and put it in the kitchen, rubbed the water on his hand from the placket of his clothes, and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he quietly went out through the back door of the kitchen. Walking cautiously along the secluded path behind the house, Qingya, did not stop until I smelled a foul smell, and looked up at the bamboo forest next to the thatched toilet in front of me.

"Hey, here." A head stretched out from the bamboo forest and shouted at Qingya.

After Qingya saw the man clearly, he silently burrowed into the bamboo forest.

The wind was blowing, the bamboo leaves were rattling, and there were people in the dense bamboo forest who could not be heard outside. In addition, the place is dirty and smelly, and it is originally a latrine for handymen, and usually no one comes, so the people who talk inside are not worried about someone eavesdropping.

"Why don't you say it? Didn't you quite talk about it when you just ate it? A hoarse voice asked.

"Those things are useless to you, and they are useless." It was Qingya's voice that answered.

"You know. Then say something useful. ”

"I haven't been able to enter the courtyard for a while, let alone get close to him, and I haven't heard anything."

"Xiao Qingya, you have to know that your mother is still crazy in the prison of the Criminal Department! Do you know who caused it? If it weren't for Rong Zhao, your mother and son would have gone away to live a good life! Your dad won't die, you know? ”

"Yes." Qingya said in a low voice.

"You know what other tricks you play?!" The hoarse voice was filled with anger, followed by a 'snap'.

"Third master, don't slap your face. Turn around, this kid will go back with this red seal, and if he is seen by Rong Zhao, that kid will definitely be suspicious. The man in charge of delivering the message to Qingya persuaded him.

"It's okay, do you think this kid won't be suspected now? Maybe Lao Tzu gave him this slap, and when he went back and was seen by Rong Zhao, he would believe that he didn't reveal anything to us - anyway, this rabbit cub didn't have any useful news! Shouldn't this be fought?! As he spoke, it was another "snap" slap, still on the face of the side that had been pumped just now.

A trace of blood slowly oozed from the corner of Qingya's mouth.

"Let me ask you, how is the woman from the rivers and lakes next to Rong Zhao now?"

Qingya raised his hand and touched the corner of his mouth, and said in a low voice: "It is said that he is recuperating in the palace, but he has never seen anyone." ”

"Didn't she go to the corpse room in Jingzhao Mansion to conduct an autopsy the night before yesterday?!"

Qingya said calmly: "This kind of thing is personally arranged by King Rui, the little one is now a spy in the eyes of Lord Rui, how can he let the little one know?" If you let the little ones know, then there must be fraud in this matter, and they deliberately let the little ones leak it to you. ”

"Third master, what this kid said makes sense!"

"Hmm."

"That'...... Tell him to go back, he doesn't know anything of value anyway. ”

"."

"Yes."

Qingya answered, slowly walked out of the small bamboo forest, stood in the aisle, looked left and right, and then walked back slowly.

But the people in the small bamboo forest did not come out, the two of them did not know what to do inside, and after a quarter of an hour's work, the one with a ruthless face came out first, looked around vigilantly and left, and then the other person.

Sheng Qiong, who had been hiding in the latrine and sticking out of the vent of the latrine with a bamboo pipe to listen to them, was the last to come out, and his expressionless face, which was already a little disfigured, became more and more cold and hard, and a murderous look flashed in his eyes, forcing the clump of green bamboos next to him to lose their vitality.

*

Rong Zhao and Xu Jian Wei Cheng were not in a hurry to return to the prison after they were full of wine and food, but went to the downtown in a leisurely manner.

March is the best time of the year. The capital is prosperous and lively, there are everything sold in the downtown area, the merchant carries the burden and drills the alley, and the lady who sells wine wears a bright spring shirt as a wine to sell wine, and talks and laughs with the guests.

Rong Zhao looked at everything fresh, playing while walking, moving this and poking that, making Wei Cheng and Xu Jian impatient.

"I'm going to listen to the book! Are you going or not?! Xu Jian watched Rong Zhao standing in front of an old farmer who sold white rabbits and couldn't pull his feet, and he was anxious to go up and kick him.

"Tsk, such a white rabbit, I really want to buy it back and raise it, and when I wait for winter, I can stew a pot of fragrant rabbit meat, and have a warm rabbit fur scarf." Rong Zhao was dragged away by Xu Jian, and he was still unfinished with emotion.

"Pull it down! Rabbit fur scarf? You can figure it out. Xu Jian pursed his lips and asked the son of a second-class marquis to use rabbit fur as a scarf, where did Da Qi Chao's face go? !

The three of them walked all the way to play, and finally arrived at the Mr. Yi teahouse that Xu Jian said, and after entering, they went directly to the private room commonly used by Xu Gongzi, called for tea and snacks, and the three of them sat down in order of age, drinking tea while listening to the most famous storyteller in the capital.

"What does this book say today?" Wei Cheng asked Xu Jian.

"It's about the story of our Great Qi pilgrimage grandfather with five hundred iron horses to set foot in the northern frontier." When Xu Jian said this, his eyes flashed with the passion of a young hero.

"Snort......," Rong Zhao couldn't hold back and laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Xu Jian glanced at Rong Zhao dissatisfied.

"No, nothing." Rong Zhao raised his hand and pointed downstairs, "I just saw a swinger who wanted to tease the girl who sold peanuts, but he was pinched in the face...... Hahaha, it's so much fun. ”

"What are you talking about?" A chuckle came from behind him.

"Oh, His Royal Highness King Pingnan actually came here to drink tea?" Xu Jian hurriedly got up and saluted, "The prince is well." ”

Rong Zhao rolled his eyes silently, thinking to himself that Lao Tzu didn't look at the yellow calendar when he went out today? Why has it been blocked repeatedly? It's good now, just sent away a small one, and an old one came! It's really not quiet.
