At the end of the banquet, several princes at the main banquet table said goodbye, and Jingchen got up to see each other off under the reminder of the chief manager behind him.

Yu Shu followed a group of more than a dozen people and walked to the main entrance of the vestibule, watching Jing Chen, who was not familiar with the world, saying goodbye to Ning Wang, Jiawang and the others a little rusty, and watched them get into the carriage and leave, and when they arrived at the back door, there were a few of them who knew each other.

"Uncle Shi, cousin, I'll go back to the palace first." Liu Tan looked at the moonlight, he had not yet built a mansion and lived in the palace, so it was inconvenient to stay overnight.

He said goodbye to Jingchen and Xue Rui, and then said to Shui Yun: "Little Senior Aunt, I will send someone to pick you up when the Shuangyang meeting is held." ”

Shui Yun smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I will help you." ”

Yu Shu listened to them on the side, and when he saw Shui Yun standing beside Jing Chen, he knew that she was going to live with Jing Chen in the princess's mansion in the future.

"Miss Yu, farewell." Liu Tan said goodbye, Yu Shu turned his head and saw him bowing his head towards him, and hurriedly bowed back: "Your Highness, go slowly." ”

Now that the door was quiet, Jing Chen finally found the opportunity to talk to Yu Shu, "Xiaoyu, I don't have to live in the palace now, it will be convenient to enter and exit in the future, don't you want to follow me to learn astrology, why don't I start teaching you tomorrow." ”

Yu Shu's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "That's very good, then I'll come to you tomorrow?" ”

Jingchen nodded, "Then I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow morning." ”

Seeing that they met again, Xue Rui unhurriedly reminded the two of them, "Today, Daozi has been sealed, there are a lot of eyeliner outside, and Ah Shuruo frequently goes in and out of the princess's mansion, so it is difficult to ensure that he will not be remembered by someone with a heart, and he will get into any trouble." In this way, it is better for you to make an appointment to meet in the Wangji Building, which is our own place. Ease of use. ”

Yu Shu thought about this reason, so he agreed, Jing Chen didn't think as much as Xue Rui thought in his mind, so naturally he had no opinion, and the two changed from the princess's mansion to the Wangji Building to meet.

But I don't know what Xue Rui is thinking in his heart: Ah Shu doesn't seem to be dead set on Jingchen, if he really lets the two of them get along again, he will rekindle the old relationship, since it is inconvenient to stop it. It's better to put them under your nose and look at them.

Lao Cui drove the carriage to the door, jumped down and hung up the cotton tent, Xue Rui urged Yu Shu, who was still talking to Jingchen: "It's not early, it's cold outside, if you have anything to talk about tomorrow, get in the car first." I'll send you back. ”

"Well, Jingchen, then I'll go, Ming'er, you go to the Wangji Building to find me."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

Yu Shu walked in front of Xue Rui, got into the car with a cat's waist, and only after sitting down did he open the window and look out, a row of bright lanterns hung on the high courtyard of the princess's mansion, and the faces of the people were clearly illuminated. Jing Chen and the little junior sister stood side by side under the lamp, and as the carriage ran, the two of them gradually became distant and blurred.

The faint sadness came up again, and Yu Shuting thought unpleasantly: Is she considered a successful retirement?

"Close the window, and the wind will blow in." A big hand came over and lowered the curtain, Yu Shu rubbed his nose, which was red by the cold wind outside, and turned his head to look at Xue Rui. Smiled embarrassedly. Afraid that he would see something, he hurriedly lowered his head. Pretending to fiddle with his clothes, muttering:

"It seems that there was wine on the table just now, and I have to wash it when I go back."

Xue Rui noticed Yu Shu's strange appearance, and did not debunk it, but just looked at her quietly. I remember that when I met again in Qiu Kwai Fong a few months ago, she was still setting up a roadside stall to tell people fortunes, she was dark and thin, and she was a tomboy to anyone who looked at her.

Since Zhao Hui's family moved from Yiyang, she lived with her elders, there were people Zhang Luo who ate and drank, and her thin and dry body had just grown a few catties of meat, and then Jingchen disappeared, she lost weight again, and over and over again, until the end of the Dayan test and the end of the Ji family's case, her cheeks slowly became mellow again, and it was not in vain that he secretly told her to open a small stove and tonify soup for her over there.

He is not a young man who has just fallen in love, but in addition to his mother and sister, this is the first time he is so interested in a woman, and he likes it for sure, although it has not yet reached the point where he has to be, but it is such a reckless and competitive little woman who has a heart, but it makes him feel a sense of pity and care.

On the carriage, the two of them had their own thoughts, and they were quiet for a while, and the car turned around the corner of the street, Yu Shu remembered something, cleared his throat, and asked Xue Rui with some curiosity, at tonight's banquet, several princes invited her to the Shuangyang Club with him.

Xue Rui smiled and said: "They are drunkards who don't mean to drink, not for you, but for Daozi." ”

After speaking, seeing that Yu Shu's face was still a little confused, he explained a little more clearly: "Although few people know about the fact that you were mistakenly arrested and went to Si Tianjian that night, but the case of the Ji family is so big, and the palace sent a reward afterwards, the danger on the road of Daozi is no longer a secret, he has just arrived, and there is no one close to him, and you, a candidate with no merit, can sit at the main table tonight and sit at the same table with a group of nobles, how can it not be eye-catching, naturally some people want to use you to get close to Daozi, or if they are unhappy, they can also make you angry, Fortunately, you were clever tonight, and you weren't caught in any way. ”

Yu Shu frowned, recalling that at the wine table tonight, the eleventh prince who turned his face to her if the invitation failed, seemed to be sitting next to Liu Hao, the king of Ning, that is, Ji Xingxuan's "flower messenger".

Yu Shu thought about something, so he asked, "King Ning and the eleventh prince are from the same mother?" ”

Xue Rui shook his head: "The eleventh prince was born in Yanfu Palace, but he was born by Concubine Lu Xian, because Concubine Xian was weak and sick, he was raised by Concubine Shu's side when he was young, and he was very close to King Ning. ”

Xue Rui only said this, and did not find out the key.

Since Yu Shu knew that the two princes were out of their nostrils, how could they not have imagined that Liu Yi was ordered by King Ning to think about her, but he was still confused:

"It was I who refused to go to the meeting with him tonight, and he took the opportunity to make things difficult and almost accused me of being a bully, so if I rely on them and am willing to go to the Shuangyang Club with him, what should they do? Do you really want me to give them advice? ”

A cold color flashed on Xue Rui's face, and his tone was cold, "If you agree, then your future will be ruined." ”

"Huh?" Yu Shu was stunned and said, "Is it so serious?" ”

Xue Rui didn't answer, there were some dirty things in it, and he didn't want to tell her about it, so as not to dirty her ears.

In fact, tonight was Yu Shu's refusal early, if she spoke out late at that time, he would also stand up for her, so that she could be taken to Liu Yi's mansion.

Yu Shu saw Xue Rui's face, pondered for a moment, and said with annoyance: "I don't think the eleventh prince is easy to mess with, I embarrassed him tonight, he must hold a grudge, do you think he will secretly make evil?" I don't want to be on guard, lest someone catch me again and break another finger? ”

Xue Rui noticed a trace of uneasiness on her face, her face relaxed, and her voice was calm: "Don't worry, King Ning is cautious, now that Daozi is in the limelight, he will not let the eleventh prince attack you." ”

Xue Rui said half of the lie, Liu Hao and Liu Yi would not attack Yu Shu, but there was another reason.

Yu Shu tugged at the corners of his mouth, because of Xue Rui's relief, he was relieved a lot, but he didn't let go of his guard.

On the street corner not far from the main gate of the princess's mansion, a carriage stopped in the dark, and watched from a distance as the carriage and horses walked away outside the gate, and the window was pulled down with a "swish".

Liu Yi turned his head with a cold face, put his hands into the sleeves of the golden velvet mink, and said to the man who was drinking tea in front of him:

"We really underestimated Liu Tan in the past, but when he lived in the mountains, he was pure and had few desires, and he didn't think that he was also ambitious, and it was only a long time since he returned to Beijing, so he pulled two good helpers. Who would have thought that the eldest princess's only son would be sent to Jiangxi to cultivate, so that Liu Tan could catch up early, that's fine, but Xue Chengbi, who is two-faced and three-stabbed, was in and out with Seventh Brother you a few years ago, who thought that he would go out of the devil for two years, and when he came back, he turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, hum. ”

Liu Hao was holding a cup of hot tea, his brows were slightly locked, and he seemed a little preoccupied, Liu Yi's cynicism, he didn't know how to listen to a few words.

"And that stinky girl who came from nowhere, relying on someone to support her, dared to lose my face in public, something!" The more Liu Yi spoke, the more angry he became, he slapped his thigh, and said in a cruel voice:

"It's not worth warming the bed for the master, so I'll let people tie her up tomorrow."

Liu Hao raised his eyebrows, finally reacted a little, and said in a deep voice: "Don't be impulsive." ”

Liu Yi said disappreciatively: "Seventh brother, you are too careful. ”

Liu Hao knew that his brother was crazy, and he was afraid that he wouldn't listen to what he said, so he straightened his face and said: "Shuangyang will be coming, you give me honesty, don't you want to be a big deal because of a woman, do you know the way?" ”

Liu Yi nodded reluctantly, and said depressedly: "Zhilu Dao, Zhilu Dao, I don't move her." Hey, I really don't know what you're worried about, a little girl, even if I'm really killed, can that Daozi still fight with me? ”

Liu Hao shook his head and narrowed his eyes, he was not afraid of the Daozi who had the heart of a dragon to turn his face, but it was just another person-

"Ganzhou"

Liu Hao's lips moved, and he read silently, and his eyes gradually became gloomy. What I thought in my heart was what Xue Rui mentioned at the banquet tonight, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the tragedy that happened in Ganzhou.

"Brother Seven, what's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable?" Liu Yi watched Liu Hao's face change, and asked inexplicably.

Liu Hao waved his hand, took a breath, and said softly: "I'm fine, I just have a headache after drinking too much, let's go, you live in my house tonight, don't go back to the palace." ”

Hopefully, he's thinking too much.
