Outside the eldest princess's mansion, on the seemingly peaceful street, there is an undercurrent. The guards of the Eldest Princess's Mansion spies and the eyeliner of Xu De's men quietly fought each other. But since Xu De's purge of Beijing, there have been no casualties here for a long time, and both the eldest princess and Xu De already know what the other party means.

At this moment, at the back door of the eldest princess's mansion, two hawkers were guarding the road with few pedestrians. One of them was carrying two bamboo baskets, which contained some candy figures and other gadgets, and the other was holding two small gourds, in which the crickets were heard from time to time.

The two men were doing business, but they did not go to the front door with many pedestrians, but stood by the back door. Occasionally, there are passers-by, and they don't come forward to sell their things, the identities of these two people were exposed early in the eldest princess's mansion, Xu De's secret agent.

The man holding the gourd saw that it was getting late, and there was a lack of taste in his mouth, so he said to the man with the bamboo basket next to him: "Hey, old six, do you want to drink?" ”

"Not good." The sixth child sat by the wall, raised his head at this moment and looked at the man who sold crickets, although he said that it was not good, but his eyes revealed longing, and said: "Old five, you can't remember the last time we were caught secretly drinking?" Isn't it because we drank alcohol that we were exposed? ”

"What are you afraid of, it's exposed anyway." Lao Wu looked at the empty back street and said, "I'll go to drink in a while, you go to the store at the front door to buy some food, it will be less than half an hour before and after, no one will know." ”

Although the sixth child was a little hesitant, he still agreed to the fifth child.

When the fifth child saw this, the last person went out of the alley, pinned the two gourds containing crickets to his waist, and went to a wine shop in the back, while the sixth simply ignored his stall and ran straight to the restaurant in front.

Seeing the two leaving, one of them touched in from the corner of the street where the sixth child went out, and when he saw that there was no one left and right, one turned over and entered the eldest princess's mansion.

……

"Oh, master, that man is not worthy of your thoughts!" Yinping saw her master sitting in the study in a daze, thinking that she was thinking of that person again, and said loudly.

The eldest princess wore a honey-colored pipa blouse today, her hair was tied in a bun, and the word laziness was revealed all over her body. She curled up cross-legged on the soft floor of the study, wrapped in a thin blanket embroidered with peonies, and on the couch there were two unfolding playbooks.

Originally, the eldest princess didn't know what she was thinking, she was stunned, but at this moment, when she was said by the silver screen, her face suddenly turned red, and she pretended to be serious: "How can you make fun of your own master, you are just begging for a beating." ”

Yinping walked to the edge of the soft collapse, put the eldest princess's pair of embroidered shoes in place, and said, "Is it only the master who knows it in your own heart." Xu De has set up a net with us, and rats can't get in. Can he still fly in? ”

"Who can fly in." An unfamiliar man's voice rang out outside the study.

Yinping instantly became nervous, blocked in front of the eldest princess who didn't know why, and said, "Who are you and how did you get in." ”

The man pushed the door open and said, "I flew in." ”

The silver screen looked at it, this person was dressed in black, with a foggy black hat on his head, not the gentleman under the willow, who was it?

Yinping looked surprised, and the eldest princess was even more disgraced, and hurriedly sat up straight, but found that she was not wearing shoes, and bent down to get her shoes.

Yinping reacted, willow eyebrows raised, and said to the gentleman under the willow: "Don't you know how to go out and avoid it?" Just standing? ”

The gentleman of Yanagi heard the sound and walked out of the study door, and he could be seen through the paper on the door.

The eldest princess put on her shoes with the help of Yinping, and was about to get up and open the door, but after taking a few steps, she turned around and took Yinping's hand: "Ping'er, look at you and my hair is still beautiful?" ”

"Good-looking and good-looking, my master is naturally beautiful, and he looks good no matter what."

The eldest princess walked to the door, opened it, and said, "Sir, come in and speak." ”

The gentleman turned around and entered the house and said, "The eldest princess is at home these days, but she is trying to increase her knowledge. ”

Thinking of the jokes that had not yet been closed on the soft couch, the eldest princess's face turned red inadvertently, and she said to the gentleman under the willow: "Mr. said that he was laughing, but it was just some jokes." The eldest princess walked to the Taishi chair behind the bookcase and sat down, and said to the soft silver screen: "Ping'er, make a pot of tea." ”

Yinping packed up his work and nodded in response.

"I don't know why Mr. took the risk to come today."

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess knows the situation in the capital these days."

Although the eldest princess couldn't go out, she really knew the news of the capital well, and said: "Although I can't go out, I still understand the general news." ”

"Then, there is an opportunity to help the emperor take back the power of the court in one fell swoop, or at least let Xu De no longer be alone in the court, the family is dominant, is Her Royal Highness the eldest princess willing?"

Hearing this, the eldest princess almost agreed, but she was afraid that there would be deception in it, and asked, "What is the matter, can the gentleman tell me?" ”

"It's been a long time since the household department lost its cousin, and it is very suitable to have someone at the moment."

"Who?"

"The prince of Guangnan, the cousin of His Royal Highness Liu Xian."

Because they live in Tianjing City together, and unlike the emperor, they are framed by Xu De, the eldest princess and Liu Xian's cousin, the two of them come and go quite frequently, aside from others, at least, his personality, the eldest princess is at ease.

"Sir, why do you think Ah Xian can stand firm?"

"Regarding Cheng Ranxuan, the people of the Guangnan Royal Mansion will always come up with a result, a result that can be accepted by the King of Guangnan, even if there is none, they must make a hard one. Moreover, Ye Qing came to the capital, but the Guangnan Royal Mansion did not have a reaction. It shows that Liu Xian's position as the son of the world is stable. ”

"This ......"

"That's enough, Liu Xian is now qualified enough to stand at the front desk, and no one is more qualified than him." The gentleman paused and spoke again: "Except for his father." ”

The eldest princess's attention was not in the jokes of the gentlemen, but carefully pondered the feasibility of what the gentlemen said.

"Sir, if Ah Xian is the official of the household department, why should he fight with Xu De."

"If you are still in the book, you will be able to tie the treasury to your hands as a matter of course. For more than ten years before, no one dared to stretch out their hands to the treasury, for fear of Xu De's retaliation, but Liu Xian was not afraid. ”

The eldest princess fell into thought, although she was willing to do anything for the sake of her emperor brother, but forcibly involved Ah Xian, she didn't know if she should be so selfish.

Seeing the eldest princess's hesitant appearance, the gentleman looked at the sky outside through the window, estimated the time, and said: "I still have half an hour to go out, if Her Royal Highness the eldest princess can't make a decision, I will put this matter on hold." ”

The eldest princess weighed the pros and cons, gritted her teeth, and said, "I promise you, if you need anything, you can just tell me directly." ”

"Okay, I hope that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess will find an opportunity to call Liu Xian to the mansion and tell him about this matter. I'll go out this time and I'll start setting it up, waiting for your signal. After speaking, the gentleman stood up and said, "I have to go, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess don't send it, remember to take care of your body." ”

Knowing that the other party was taking a big risk in entering and leaving the eldest princess's mansion, the eldest princess did not keep him, but sent him to the door and said, "Sir, be careful." ”

"Your Highness doesn't have to send it." With that, the gentleman turned over from the door and got onto the roof, stepped on the roof tiles, and disappeared from the eldest princess's field of vision.

Yinping brought the tea over, but saw his master standing by the door stupidly, angry, and said, "Really, the tea is all made, and I don't leave a sip." ”

"It's not easy for him to come and go, and you shouldn't blame him." As she spoke, she went up and pulled the silver screen into the study.

And by the back door, the old five and six sat on the ground, with two pots of wine in front of them, as well as beef and roast chicken padded with lotus leaves.

Lao Liu tore a large piece of beef, fed it to his mouth, nodded while chewing, and said, "This beef is really delicious." ”

The fifth raised the wine jug, signaled to the sixth, and said, "The store I chose, that's not it." Come, go one. ”

The two of them tilted their heads and poured the wine into their stomachs.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flew over the two of them.

The sixth turned over, the long knife at his waist came out of the sheath, and said, "What person!" ”

Lao Wu also put down the wine jug, pulled out the long knife hidden in his clothes, and said, "Come out, we see you!" ”

"Meow-" A black cat walked out of the corner pointed by the two, probably asking about the aroma of beef and roast chicken and was attracted.

"What, a cat, all the fuss." The fifth did not put the knife back on his waist, but leaned directly against the wall, and the same was true for the sixth.

The sixth child tore a piece of beef and threw it to the black cat, who tentatively walked in, and ran away with the beef in his mouth.

"Come, let's go on." The fifth raises the flask to the sixth.

"Keep going!" The sixth also raised his glass.
