"Qin Gongzi stays!" Just as Zhongqing was leaving, the third prince stopped her.

Zhongqing turned around and asked, "What else is the matter with the Third Highness?" ”

The third prince smiled humbly, looked at the surrounding environment, and said as if invited: "There are many people here, I wonder if the palace can invite the prince to live in a guest house?" ”

When Zhongqing heard this, she raised her eyebrows, bowed slightly, and said, "Your Royal Highness is polite!" ”

"Haha, Childe, please!" The third prince stretched out his hand and invited her to get into his carriage and go to the first guest restaurant in Chujing.

The carriage soon drove to the first restaurant in Chujing, Yuan Keju.

Zhongqing followed the three princes to step in, habitually, she subconsciously observed the surrounding environment, there are not as many guests here as she imagined, only a few individual guests can be seen sitting in this hall, most of the guests will be led to the private room on the second and third floors by Xiao Er.

"Is it the Third Highness that has come down, is it the old rule?" The second child of the guest house saw the third prince enter the door and saluted respectfully.

The third prince nodded, Xiao Er understood, and took the two of them to the "Tingsong Pavilion" meeting room on the highest floor of the Yuan Guest House, this private room is a perennial private room for the third prince, so Xiao Er brought them here as soon as he said the old rules.

The two entered the Tingsong Pavilion, the layout inside was particularly consistent with the name of the private room, as soon as they entered the door, they could see a small pine tree, Xiao Er first gave them a pot of bibliogram bamboo, and then retreated after preparing a few pots of hot wine and good food.

"Qin Gongzi, please, the tea in this guest house is a pot of gold in Da Chu." The third prince personally poured her a cup of tea, the tea was moist with a little bamboo color, and she could feel the fragrance of bamboo leaves when she smelled it.

Zhong Qing took it: "Your Royal Highness Xie San!" ”

She took a sip of it, the entrance was mellow and pleasant, and the tea would return a faint bamboo fragrance when it reached her throat, it was indeed good tea!

Just tasted it and gave up, Zhong Qing immediately cupped the cup and watched the third prince go straight in: "I don't know what happened to the invitation of the third highness?" ”

The third prince took a sip of tea, and when he heard her so direct, he didn't hurry and said, "Prince Qin just said in Qionglin Pavilion that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is discussing the exchange of planting with Prince Duan?" ”

When Zhongqing heard this, she knew in her heart that she guessed that the third prince was here for this matter, so there was no surprise on her face.

She smiled lightly: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also sent a lot of treasures, so that I can feel the hospitality of Dachu." ”

When the third prince heard her words, he was surprised but his face did not show it, he poured himself a glass of wine, and said casually: "Then I don't know, what does Prince Duan mean?" ”

What does Duan Wang Ye mean? Of course, I accepted those treasures shamelessly!

Of course, thinking like this in her heart, Zhong Qing would definitely not really say this, and dealing with a superior person like the third prince, she has to be 120,000 spirited.

"I don't know what the prince means, where can subordinates like us spy on the psychology of their masters?" She asked a rhetorical question as if she was self-deprecating, and the expression on her face seemed to be hateful, as if she was not being wary of herself.

The third prince looked at it, the corners of his mouth when he drank tea rose slightly, and said: "But the identity of the prince in the palace at the banquet in the palace is extraordinary, I still remember that the palace wanted to inquire about the identity of the prince at that time, but was unexpectedly refuted by Lord Duan." ”

"How can Prince Duan, who can tolerate such a maintenance, be an ordinary subordinate?" After the third prince finished speaking, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he looked at the person opposite without blinking, not letting go of any of her expressions.

Zhongqing was suffocated by the third prince's question, and then pretended to be relaxed and said: "Your Highness laughed, where is the maintenance, but the prince's personality is like this, it is not a secret, there are no two skills in the lower body, how can the prince value it?" ”

She said half-truths in a self-deprecating tone, and after finishing speaking, she took a sip of wine, the hot wine was full of momentum, she didn't hold back and poured it in, and her spicy throat was uncomfortable.

"Gongzi Qin is fine, the strength of this hot wine is really punching, like Gongzi is stuffy, this hall is the first time to see it." The third prince teased her, picked up a small glass of hot wine and drank it slowly.

After taking a sip of wine, the third prince paused in his tone, and said tentatively: "If Gongzi Qin can use small means to sabotage the results of the discussion, and then introduce the main hall, then the main palace can find a good way out for the prince, it is not like the prince has always stayed by King Duan's side and his ambition is difficult to reward." ”

Hearing this, Zhongqing lowered his head and pretended to think about it, but he was thinking about the competition between the three princes and the crown prince, on the surface, this transaction was handed over to the crown prince by the Great Chu Emperor, and it stands to reason that there is no room for the three princes to interfere.

But listening to what the third prince said just now, it seems that he doesn't want to give up, and wants to make a stumbling block from it, thinking that it is just to compete with the prince, in the Great Chu Dynasty, only the prince and the third prince have the highest voice, and the battle between the two secretly must be extremely fierce!

If she could muddy the waters, it would be easier for her to do whatever she wanted to do afterwards.

After figuring out the stakes between them, Zhong Qing frowned slightly, so he said with a difficult look: "I understand what His Highness means, but I am a light man, and it is ...... whether it will be successful or not."

Before she finished speaking, the third prince immediately interrupted her: "Whether it is successful or not, this palace will not say anything, but will give Gongzi Qin an extra honorarium, I just hope that Gongzi Qin will do his best!" ”

Hearing him say this, Zhongqing was finally relieved, and at that moment, she picked up a glass of wine and touched him, patted her chest and said: "Your Royal Highness, don't worry, you are going all out, but I hope you don't let the third person know about this matter." ”

The three princes raised their wines together and promised: "Naturally! ”

After the two of them had three rounds of wine in the Yuanke Residence, the sky outside was completely dark, and finally Qing saw this, raised the last glass of wine and drank it all.

"Third Highness, it's getting late, I'll leave first!" After the last glass of wine, he bowed his hand to the third prince with a red face, and after finishing speaking, he staggered away from the Yuan guest house.

After stepping out of the guest house, Zhong Qing, who was still drunk, immediately became extremely sober, and there was still a trace of drunkenness in his eyes, and he was sober and normal as a normal person.

Touching her face, it was still a little hot, it was getting late now, she had to hurry up and return the token to Wanyuan.

The night breeze was slightly cool, and she walked back quickly, and the breeze on the road had already blown away her drunkenness.

At the entrance of Yiwan Garden, Zhongqing opened a crack in the door and peeked, and only after finding that there was no one did he quietly stand on tiptoe and walk in.

It's good, it's so quiet, it doesn't seem like anyone has noticed her sneaking out!

Zhongqing was happy in her heart, and secretly came to Qingfeng's room with a fluke mentality, there was no candlelight inside, indicating that the person had fallen asleep, and she secretly opened the door and slipped in.

With excellent eyesight, she soon saw the breezy clothes on the wooden truss, and God helped her!

She walked over quietly like a mouse, secretly put the token hanging on her waist back into Qingfeng's clothes, and when the object was returned to its original owner, she finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart!

This place is not suitable for a long time, and just as she was about to leave, a familiar voice suddenly sounded!

"Little guy, is this king's token any good?"

The sudden sound immediately made Zhong Qing stunned in place, her mind suddenly went blank, and she widened her eyes and looked carefully in the direction of the sound......

"Ah, it turned out to be the prince, what a coincidence, did you also come to see Qingfeng? Ha ha! When she looked at it, Duan Yi was sitting on the bed, looking at her with a pair of phoenix eyes that seemed to be shining.

"yes, that's a coincidence." Four words, the man only said four words and looked at her with deep meaning.

Zhongqing didn't dare to move, she was caught doing something bad for the first time, and she couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in her heart.

She didn't say anything after hearing Duan Yi only say four words, and she didn't know whether to answer his words or not, she was stunned for a long time.

After half a cup of tea passed, Zhong Qing couldn't hold it back, she cautiously said: "What, if you're okay, then I'll go down first?" ”

After she finished speaking, she waited for the man to respond, but after a long time she didn't hear him say a word, could he be asleep?

Thinking like this, Zhong Qing boldly took a step in the direction of the door, and after a while, he found that Duan Yi had no reaction, and he was sure that he should be asleep!

Since Duan Yi is asleep, it is inconvenient for her to be here, just like when she came in, she was ready to leave quietly.

Just as Zhong Qing's hand was about to touch the door, the man's unique voice suddenly sounded again.

"Little guy, do you want to leave before you can answer the king's question?"

Zhongqing's footsteps paused, and the outstretched hand was immediately withdrawn, and he stiffened and looked back at the man on the bed, at a loss for a moment, like a child stealing candy being caught by an adult.

Duan Yi, who was sitting on the bed, had his eyes half-closed, looked at the stiff Zhongqing with a faint look, and said, "Backgammon, make an appointment with the third prince, you have done a lot of things in this day." ”

I forgot, he knew it, it turned out that what he did couldn't escape his eyes!

"Now that the prince knows, Zhongqing has to let the prince dispose of it." Zhong Qing had a remorseful expression on her face, like a folk girl who was bullied by a bully.

Duan Yi was so amused by her expression that the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised lightly, stood up and walked over slowly: "What's the panic, this king is just asking you if that token is good or not." ”

Well???

Zhong Qing put a big question mark in her heart, she didn't understand why Duan Yi said this, did she want to test whether she harbored evil intentions?

"What, that token doesn't work?" Seeing that she didn't answer, Duan Yi asked again.

Zhongqing came back to his senses, blinked his eyes, and hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, I was wrong, just say what punishment you have!" ”

"Wrong? What's wrong? Duan Yi was amused in his heart, but there was no expression on his face.

Zhong Qing was pitiful: "The mistake is that you shouldn't have stolen the prince's token!" ”

"Since you have taken the token of this king, then you will represent the identity of this king when you go out in the future." Duan Yi said inexplicably, neither to blame her, nor to punish her.

Zhong Qing listened, puzzled: "What does the prince mean ......?" "Is this to punish her or is it over, why can't she understand a word?

"The king's meaning is obvious, it's getting late, go back and rest." After Duan Yi dropped the last sentence, he left Qingfeng's room.

So she's okay? The prince didn't blame her either?

Zhong Qing thought in doubt, hesitated in place for a while before confirming that he was really fine, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and went back to his room to sleep with a big grin.
