Chapter 18: Can the prince give me some silver?
The small courtyard next to the Chaolu Hall was originally regular, but there were some less flower decorations, which made it a little less interesting.
However, for most of the morning, the small courtyard has been renovated.
Although it was spring, it was not yet hot, but there was still a slight sweat in carrying heavy objects like this, and the maids were tired on their faces, only Su Zhi and Rong Rong, who had been watching from the side, were smug with a relaxed face.
After the maids cleaned up the courtyard, they retreated, and Rong Wangci stood at the door of the hall and paced a few steps, seeing Su Zhi sitting at the table in the inner hall and drinking tea leisurely, without the slightest intention of leaving the house, he felt a little at a loss.
Su Zhi put down the blue and white porcelain water-patterned cup twisted in his hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he didn't look at the expression, and only called at Fran, who was also standing at the temple gate.
"Fran, what did the princess buy yesterday?"
Fran was stunned for a moment, glanced at Rong Rongci before replying, "I only bought a piece of satin." ”
"What satin?"
"Shuyi Zhai's moon brocade."
Su Zhilang laughed, and said with a smile: "But a horse of Yuehua brocade, there is no silver?" ”
Fran glanced at Rong Rongci sadly: "It's not that I didn't have any silver when I bought it, but I couldn't even afford to buy a horse of Yuehua brocade." ”
Rong Rongci kept his head down and listened, and immediately raised his head when he heard the words, and glanced at Fran fiercely: "Good you stinky girl!" Do you eat and drink less on weekdays? Now you have to worry about me for such a little bit of silver, and you have been talking all morning......"
Fran pursed her lips, knowing that Rong Elegy was just unforgiving, and she didn't care at all, but Su Zhi hurriedly coaxed a few words softly.
"Don't worry, madam, the girls are getting bolder and bolder now, isn't it because Madame has a good heart? changed others, and dragged out early for a good fight. ”
"It's time for a good fight!"
Rong Rongci walked past Fran and said viciously, but she just said it, went straight into the hall, walked to Su Zhi's side and sat down.
Su Zhi saw Rong Rongci's earnest look, and knew what she was thinking, so he only smiled and pinched Rong Rongci's nose.
"If you have something to say, say it."
Rong Rongci smiled obediently: "Can the prince reward me with some silver?" ”
Su Zhiyan laughed more and more happily when he heard this, hugged Rong Rongci in his arms, and said loudly: "What do you say about rewarding or not?" What's mine is yours, if you want as much as you want, just ask for Meng He. ”
Rong Yongci leaned on Su Zhi's arms, and said: "I didn't have enough money yesterday, and I haven't had enough fun, can I go again today?" ”
"Pingde Street?"
Su Zhi asked, his expression unchanged.
Rong Leaned on Su Zhi's chest, he couldn't see Su Zhi's expression, he only thought that Su Zhi was suspicious again, and after thinking about it for a while, he had to take a detour.
"You don't have to go to Pingde Street, Jianxing Street, and Yuan'an Street."
Su Zhi narrowed his eyes and did not answer.
Rong Wangci only thought that he was still on guard, and left from Su Zhi's arms quietly, looking at Su Zhi with a relative face, and pursed the corners of his mouth: "Isn't Jianxing Street okay?" ”
A pair of big eyes were watery as if they were about to shed tears, Su Zhi looked at it, and hurriedly collected his thoughts and touched his black hair: "Okay, okay, anywhere, let's go to Pingde Street." ”
A ripple flashed in Rong Rong's eyes, and then he was calm as usual: "The prince is going too?" ”
"Why, you don't want to?"
Su Zhi raised his eyebrows, and there seemed to be thousands of brilliance flashing in his eyes, and the indescribable evil aura was strange, and Rong Rong's resignation was abrupt.
"How so?"
As he spoke, he avoided his gaze.
Su Zhi didn't delve into it, he only stepped back and said to Fran: "Dress up for the princess." ”
Fran and Rong Rongci were both stunned, and Rong Rongci frowned slightly: "You haven't had lunch yet?" ”
Su Zhi smiled gently: "I went to Xianglai Building to eat charcoal roast duck today." ”
Rong Rongci smiled, answered 'yes', and got up to make up.
Su sent someone to the small kitchen to inform him that there was no need to prepare lunch today, and waited for a pot of tea in the inner hall of the Chaolu Palace, and then stood up from the bronze mirror.
The two looked at each other and smiled, Su Zhi stepped forward and took Rong Rong's hand, and went out together.
It was noon, and the sunlight outside was dazzling, and Rong Rongci sat in the carriage, reclining against the side curtains, and looked out of the carriage through the small slit that was lifted when the side curtain swayed.
Seeing that Rong Rong's expression seemed to be a little dignified, Su Zhi reached out and took her in his arms.
"Don't worry, there won't be any more assassins in broad daylight."
Rong Rong's expression was still solemn, but he sighed in a soft voice: "How noble and majestic the Regent's palace is, there are people who come to assassinate without their lives, let alone on the street where the situation is complicated and people come and go?" ”
Su Zhi tightened his arms: "Don't worry, Xi Zhu and Yue Xiu are following." ”
Rong was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.
Also, after just experiencing something like that yesterday, these two guards must be blaming themselves, and if they are going out today, Xi Zhu and Yue Xiu will definitely follow their prince in the dark to protect his safety.
Come to think of it, if you fail once, there should be no second assassination in a short period of time.
Rong Wangci's mood calmed down a little, but there were some things she hadn't figured out, and she was still a little jealous in the bottom of her heart.
Because it was to go to Xianglailou to eat charcoal roast duck, the horseman who drove was afraid that the two masters would be hungry after the meal time, and the carriage drove very fast, and when it arrived at Pingde Street, it took less than two quarters of an hour.
After driving some way inside, the carriage stopped at the side of the road.
Rong Wangci got off the carriage with the support of Su Zhi, and saw the luxurious restaurant on the street at a glance, with a huge ink-black gold silk nanmu plaque hanging on the waist of the restaurant, and three big characters were written on the plaque: Xianglai Building.
"Can you still be magnificent?"
Hearing Su Zhi's question, Rong Wangci nodded, still staring at the plaque, thinking that all the building materials and decorations in this restaurant are expensive, so it can be seen that the owner must be a family.
followed Su Zhi into Xianglai Building, and immediately a man with a smile on his face and a slightly wide figure greeted him.
"Why did the prince come to the shop today?"
The man's voice was neither loud nor small, and did not attract the attention of the other guests.
As soon as he finished speaking, the man noticed Rong Wangci standing beside Su Zhi again, and reacted very quickly, and said, "This must be the princess, right?" Sure enough, it's stunning! ”
The corners of Rong Wangci's mouth hooked up a just right smile, and then Su Zhi took her hand and said to the man who smiled with a wrinkled face: "No need to say hello, stand down." ”
The man seemed to be accustomed to hearing this, and he didn't ask Su Zhi what dish he ordered, and went straight to the back kitchen.
Rong Wangci followed Su Zhi to the second floor and entered a private room, and along the way, the people in the restaurant nodded to Su Zhi, which showed that he was a frequent visitor here.
I entered the private room and sat down, and after only two sips of tea, dishes came up one after another.
