Chapter 259: Watching a Drama
"You're too polite to Lord Xiang." Xiao Cuo smiled heartily, he is not the kind of person who can hold a shelf, and he has developed the habit of advancing and retreating with soldiers in the army, and he still has a little admiration and optimism about Xiang Huaiyi. The person pulled up: "Come to your mansion to eat and drink, it should be the king who is polite to you." ”
A joke was said in everyone's hearts. Xiang Huaiyi hurriedly said: "The prince's words are serious, and he is really humiliated. Lord and Princess, please come in. ”
When Xiang Huaiyi spoke, he didn't dare to raise his head and look directly at Xiao Cuo.
When the two of them entered the mansion, Xiang Taijun, Mrs. Xiang and the second lady dared to come forward to greet Fu Ying.
"Princess Jin An."
Fu Ying returned the salute, because following Xiao Cuo out must protect his dignity, it is to show that he is neither too close, nor cold and estranged.
Respectfully accompanied Fu Ying into the door.
A while ago, when Miss Pang was raised, they had actually secretly classified Fu Ying as a bewitching princess who charmed the prince, after all, the prestige and status of the prince were there, and the identity of her and her relatives was also here, so it was hard to guarantee that Dongsheng would not use the princess to do anything. I heard that Xiang Huaiyi was going to have a banquet for Prince Xiang and his wife, and it was also a little difficult for Xiang to do it. is too close to the prince and princess of Xiang, and I am afraid that it will have something to do with Dongsheng's people. Too far away and afraid of Xiang Huaiyi's affairs, others don't know, but Mrs. Xiang knows that now her son's lifeblood is in the hands of Prince Xiang.
The old lady personally led Fu Ying inside, and when she arrived at the front hall of the inner house, she had already prepared refreshments and fruits.
"Princess, please take a seat." Smile at the old lady.
Fu Ying smiled and said, "The old lady doesn't have to be polite. You are invited to take a seat. ”
The two excused themselves, and then sat down separately according to their identities. Xiang Xiang introduced the old lady to the ladies present one by one.
At the same time, the flower hall of the outer courtyard. Xiang Huaiyi and Xiao Cuo also sat down according to their identities in the Ming Hall with a large lattice fan.
The subordinates brought the black lacquer luodian tea tray, and Xiang Huaiyi did not lend anyone's hands, and hurriedly got up to pour tea for Xiao Cuo personally.
"Lord Wang, please use it, this is this year's Longjing, and the tea here is naturally not comparable to that of the palace, but it can also be imported."
Xiao Cuo smiled: "Lord Xiang doesn't have to be so polite. This king is used to staying in the army, but he has developed a big and rough temperament, and he likes to talk straight to the point. ”
Xiang Huaiyi flattered: "The prince has a bold temperament, and he has outstanding talents in martial arts, and he is a model for my generation to learn." ”
"Lord Xiang, you don't have to put on a high hat and pour soup into this king. I hope that you will tell you the truth. Where did the former Assassin come from? ”
Xiang Huaiyi originally planned to set it up. Because he knew that Xiao Cuo was a fun-loving person before joining the army, and he was known for his talent, he thought he was a Confucian general, and he thought about moving to the garden to listen to the play later. It's never too late to talk about these things when you're relaxed. I didn't expect this prince to be so direct. However, it is very different from the deep image of the city that everyone thought in the past.
The current Prince of Xiang. It's a lot more reassuring to go straight like this.
"Back to the prince, the assassin matter has some eyebrows. It's just that this time is not clear, please allow the humble good student to find out before replying. ”
Xiang Huaiyi put down the tray, dismissed the people who were waiting around him, knelt down and saluted: "Thank you for your humble position, if it weren't for the prince's willingness to understand this time, Xu Huizi's humble head would have already moved, and even the whole family would have no peace." You can rest assured that you will do your best to find out the real culprit! ”
"Get up quickly, and let people see what this king is." Xiao Cuo smiled and raised his hand, and gave him a false support.
Xiang Huaiyi stood up and lowered his head: "Thank you, Lord Xie." ”
Xiao said wrongly: "That's it, the defense of the capital is the responsibility of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, if you don't check this matter yourself, you will definitely refuse to give up if you want to come to the adult's heart, this king will follow you, and the trip will be postponed for the time being, remember, what this king wants is the real murderer, not to deal with it." ”
"Yes, the humble duty understands, and the humble duty will live up to the expectations of the prince."
"Hmm." Xiao Cuo smiled and said, "Then the king will believe you once." ”
Xiang Huaiyi secretly wiped his sweat. I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. In the past two days, he has barely eaten or slept or been in a hurry, and he is only anxious to track down the real culprit, otherwise it is not a pity for him to die alone, but how can the people of the Nine Clans be innocent?
Fortunately, Prince Xiang accepted his petition and was willing to give him this dignity and give him time.
After talking about serious matters, Xiang Huaiyi invited Xiao Cuo to the garden stage.
When Xiao Cuo arrived, the ladies had already arranged upstairs. On the stage, they were babbling and singing a lively peach club.
Fu Ying was sitting upstairs next to the old lady at this time, and saw Xiao Cuo, Xiang Huaiyi and the servants approaching from a distance.
Because they were far away and in the attic, the ladies dared to stretch their necks to see what Xiao Cuo was like.
There are too many rumors about Xiao Cuo, but in every version, Xiao Cuo is a beautiful man who looks better than Pan An. The female dependents did not dare to take a closer look in front of the door because of the great defense of men and women, and because of the disparity in status, they now saw the people in Yushu approaching, and the facial contours became clearer and clearer as the distance narrowed, and no one could help but feel emotional.
Old lady Xiang smiled and said, "The princess and the prince are really a match made in heaven. Look at what a right. ”
The eldest lady hurriedly followed the flattery: "That's right." If it weren't for the princess, there would be no one in Kyoto City who is as compatible as the prince. ”
The eldest lady was well-intentioned, and she just wanted to make Fu Ying happy. However, some of the ladies of the Xiang family disagreed, snorted lightly, and muttered: "I see that Miss Pang is also the best among women, and the emperor has promised her to Prince Xiang before." ”
The stage was still lively, but the atmosphere in the attic became tense.
The eldest lady turned her head and glared fiercely at her beloved daughter.
I shouldn't have let her come today! She and the girl of the Pang family are just a few faces, why do you think of speaking for her today!
The emperor's order to Xiang Huaiyi was not publicized at home, because the younger generations did not know the real purpose of this banquet, and if they were not allowed to come, it would seem that the family banquet would be too deserted, and it would also make people talk.
"Princess, you ......"
The eldest lady's face turned pale, but before the words were spoken, Fu Ying had already smiled and said: "Today's play is lively, and I have a heart for the old lady." ”
The pun is more powerful than any explanation or argument.
The old lady was nervous, and took a deep breath before saying: "The princess likes it, today's troupe is a famous Shanyue class in the capital." ”
"It turned out to be a play of the Shanyue class, I have heard of it for a long time, and I have never had a chance to see it." Fu Ying gave the old lady a step.
Mrs. Xiang and Fu Ying brought the topic to watching the play.
The eldest lady took this opportunity to tell the driver, got up and ordered someone to take the second girl all the way. (To be continued......)
