By the time the singing and piano had stopped, the sun had already gone down outside. The sky gradually darkened, and the boatman lightly lit the glass lamp on the ship.

For a while, the painting boats on the river were lit up one after another, looking even more beautiful, and Chen Wenhui really found the feeling of doing a painting boat on the Qinhuai River in his previous life. It's just that the painting boat I am sitting on now is more exquisite than the one chartered by the company in my previous life. Also, the feeling of the glass lamp is still not as bright as the light of the electric lamps on the painting boat in the previous life, but it is more quiet and swaying.

Mingzhu said: "Wen Hui will still enjoy it, so it is really nice to ask the pianist and the singer to sing on the bow of the boat." With the sound of water, it seemed farther away, and the sound became clearer. This reminds me of Wen Hui's birthday back then, when a few of us had dinner in the Qinghe Building of the Chen family, the lotus song, the lotus dance, and the singer's beautiful clothes and beautiful lotus crown, I still remember it vividly. Although this song is good today, I don't think it is as good as that year. Wen Hui, you have been busy in the past few years, have you ever composed new songs? ”

Zhao Chongyi and Liu Jingyuan's eyes lit up and asked, "It turns out that you can also compose?" ”

Chen Wenhui felt that Zhao Chongyi's fiery eyes flashed on her face, making her face a little feverish. Chen Wenhui said: "Where can I compose any music, I am not born to be that elegant person. However, in the past few years in Nanyang, the Hei family has helped me train a group of very talented singers, dancers, and musicians, and I think they are better than today's singers and pianists. Another day, I'll bring it with me when we come out again. Let you enjoy it too. ”

Mingzhu said helplessly: "You are a girl, why do you need this?" I only heard that the son's brother raises singers and dancers, why do you raise them too? ”

Chen Wenhui pursed her lips and smiled, diverting the topic and asking, "Where is the food that I said I said?" ”

Zhao Chongyi hurriedly said: "The boatmen are ready, I'll let them serve the food now." ”

Chen Wenhui nodded.

Zhao Chongyi was about to run outside, but Caixia, who was waiting, had already smiled and said, "Son, leave this matter to the slave maid." ”

Liu Jingyuan smiled and said, "Okay, Chongyi, you don't want to run around like a headless fly, let's let them do it." ”

Zhao Chongyi smiled embarrassedly. Busy sit down.

Soon. The boatman had already come in to clean up the table, put on the dishes and chopsticks, and set up the meal. Most of them are aquatic products, fish and shrimp. The taste is light. Chen Wenhui couldn't help but eat more.

In the middle of the meal. The four of them talked about it, sometimes talking about the division of the South Seas, and sometimes talking about the war in the northwest. Sometimes it is about the scene of four people working together in Jiangnan for disaster relief. Everyone had a great time eating this meal. Chen Wenhui not only ate more, but also drank a little plum wine made by the boat's family. The cheeks were flushed, like a piece of rouge on top of the white jade, which was extraordinarily gorgeous.

Zhao Chongyi was stupid.

Chen Wenhui was embarrassed to be seen, and said to the water lotus who was waiting: "We have all finished eating, and you all go down to eat a little." You don't have to wait here, you can just serve tea with Miss Caixia here. By the way, don't forget to give jì to the cook, the pianist, and the singer on the ship. ”

Shuilian hurriedly agreed. I went down to eat with the maid who was waiting for Mingzhu.

Chen Wenhui and the others took advantage of the night breeze to play for a long time on the boat after eating, and later, Mingzhu saw that it was too late, and urged them to go back, so everyone let the boatman drive back to the dock and take their own carriage back. When leaving, Chen Wenhui specially instructed Shuilian to give Caixia, who was waiting, a first-class seal.

Because he was riding Chen Wenhui's carriage when he came, Chen Wenhui had to send Mingzhu home first, and then returned to his home under the escort of Zhao Chongyi.

Originally, Zhao Chongyi was going to go in to ask Chen Yuanheng and the Bai family to say goodbye, but it was too late, so he had to give up, and watched Chen Wenhui enter the door, so he reluctantly went to Liu Jingyuan's house. He basically lives in Liu Jingyuan's house now, and as for the Zhongyi Mansion, he hasn't been back for a long time.

When these guests were gone, the owner of the boat watched everyone pack up their things and asked Caixia: "These guests are set by the Zhongyi Mansion, do you know who they are from the Zhongyi Mansion?" It looks like the face is very raw. ”

Caixia hurriedly said: "It's the second son of the Zhongyi Mansion, and the other uncle is the current celebrity in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, Lord Liu." That lady was none other than Mrs. Liu. ”

The shipowner took a breath of cold air and said, "So, that girl must be the county lord of Wenhui, the head of Nanyang?" ”

Caixia said: "No, it is worthy of being the richest girl in the world praised by the emperor himself." This is a good reward. At the beginning, the reward was a small purse, and inside was a silver nude weighing half a tael of silver, which was average, but the workmanship of this purse and the style of the silver nude were really beautiful. Later, when he left, the lord of the county ordered that a high-quality seal be rewarded. The girl who followed gave me a pink purse, this pink purse is even more exquisite, and the pattern on it is very beautiful, but I don't recognize what kind of flower it is, I think it is a rare flower from the South Seas, but this is nothing, what surprised me the most is the things inside. Do you know what it is? ”

The owner of the ship was surprised and asked, "What is it?" ”

Caixia still wanted to sell it, but the singer on the side had already smiled and said, "It's this." ”

After speaking, he took out a pair of pearls with a shiny and round luster and the size of a little thumb. The shipowner gasped and said, "You have made a lot of money today, and I am afraid that such a good pearl is more than I have earned all night." ”

The singer said proudly: "Usually the main customers are rewarded with money and jewelry, but they have to accompany the wine and laugh for a long time, but today this is so light that I didn't even see the face of the customer, I just sang a song quietly on the bow of the boat, and I earned such a beautiful pearl, which is really cost-effective." ”

The owner of the ship couldn't help but sigh and said, "She really deserves to be the richest girl in Da Chu." This shot is generous. ”

Chen Wenhui didn't know about the discussion of the boatman here, she was going to Bai's upper room at the moment, and it was the first time that she came back so late, and she hoped that her parents would not blame her.

When he arrived at Bai's upper room, he found that his parents' faces were not very good, Chen Wenhui couldn't help but say a little weakly: "Father, mother, I came back a little late, the scenery on the Qujiang River is too good, and I came back late unconsciously." ”

When Bai Shi heard this, he smiled and said: "Don't worry, we all know that you are measured, not to mention that Mingzhu has already sent someone to say that you will come back late, because you are going to visit Qujiang." The scenery of the Qujiang River is famous all over the world, and I have also been there, and the more beautiful it is at night. Your father and I were uncomfortable because of something else. ”

Chen Wenhui hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”

Bai said: "Hey, there is nothing to do in our family, it is the prince's East Palace that has an incident today." ”

Chen Wenhui hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Bai said: "Today, it was found that someone had poisoned the emperor's eldest grandson, and the prince was furious, and the emperor was shocked, and he personally issued a decree to investigate the matter thoroughly. Now the prince's east palace has been blocked, and the palace is to be searched. ”

This is really a big deal, the eldest grandson of the emperor is the son of Chen Wenfeng, the crown prince of the Chen family's hopes, he was poisoned, not only the royal family was shaken, but even the Chen family was very concerned. That's why my father has such a gloomy face.

Chen Wenhui hurriedly asked, "How is the emperor's eldest grandson now?" ”

Bai said: "Fortunately, the eldest grandson of the Emperor is not in any serious trouble, and the rescue is very timely, but a serious illness is inevitable." The crown princess was very sad when she heard it, saying that she had affected her son because some people saw that she was now in a good relationship with His Royal Highness the crown prince, and she was jealous. The prince seemed to believe this, and began to doubt both Ma Liangdi and Bai Liangdi. Bai Liangdi was angry and wanted to commit suicide to prove her innocence, of course she was stopped by the palace people, but because of this, the East Palace was also in chaos. ”

Chen Wenhui was a little speechless, the East Palace should be very lively now.

Chen Wenhui suddenly thought that Zhao Chongyi and Liu Jingyuan were Liu Yan's hardcore hair, so this matter would definitely trouble Liu Jingyuan and Zhao Chongyi. Thinking about it this way, although a few of them went to Qujiang and came back very late, but thinking that a few of them couldn't sleep well, Liu Yan might have summoned them over. Maybe Mingzhu was summoned too. After all, because of her identity and the relationship between Liu Jingyuan and the prince, Mingzhu often goes in and out of the palace, poor sister Mingzhu.

Chen Wenhui asked: "This thing is very strange, the poisoning did not poison people, but exposed himself, is it really so stupid?" ”

Bai glanced at Chen Yuanheng, and Chen Yuanheng also calmed down and said, "Yes, this matter is very strange. However, it is believed that it will soon come to light. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Whatever, I'm going to go back and rest first." Father, mother, if you want to be busy tomorrow, hurry up and rest. I think it's not a good thing to tell us that this matter is too close to the royal family, at least I'm tired a lot. ”

Chen Yuanheng and the Bai family both smiled bitterly, is this matter what they say? It's easy to get on a thief ship, it's hard to get off a thief ship. Now in the royal family of Da Chu, the queen mother is Chen Yuanheng's sister, the crown princess is Chen Yuanheng's niece, and the crown prince is supported by Chen Yuanheng all the way. How can this stay out of the way?

Bai said: "What Hui'er said is that let's rest first." I will be called to the palace by the queen tomorrow. You can rest too, tomorrow I don't know what the ministers of the court will say about this? ”

Yes, this matter is so big, it can't be hidden. It is a big deal to shake the country, not to mention that the prince is angry, and the emperor is shocked during his illness, and it is not that the earth is shaking.

Chen Wenhui had a hunch that the five major forces of the East Palace might have to lose one. (To be continued......)
