Hearing this voice, he was overjoyed, and turned his head in surprise, and sure enough, he saw Jin Chen standing behind them with a smile.

After not seeing her for many days, Jin Chen has become more and more beautiful, her exquisite makeup and clothes set off her country-like posture, and her eyebrows and eyes have added a bit of tenderness and charm than before. She looked at them tenderly, a bright smile lining the corners of her cherry petal-like lips.

"Ask for tea!" With a smile of surprise and delight, he couldn't wait to walk over and hold her hand, "Why are you here?" ”

Jin Chen smiled: "This is the capital, and the palace is also here, so I am naturally here." ”

Yan Shu also walked over with a smile and quipped: "Why is it so coincidental, we just arrived at the city gate, and you came." Didn't you come to greet us? ”

When Jin Chen heard this, he also echoed: "Yes, the seniors and the fairy aunt are here, how can I not greet them in person?" ”

"But how did you know we were coming?" ”

"The two of you are rushing all the way north from Yaohe Town, and you must be passing through the capital. A few days ago, I waited for you for time, but I didn't expect you to come and see you until today. Jin Chen explained with a smile, and said curiously, "I guess, you must have been held back by something, right?" Otherwise, how could he have come to the capital today? ”

Qian Xu was about to explain, when suddenly a thin little girl came over from the side and said to Jin Chen timidly: "Princess, do you want to go back to the house first?" ”

Jin Chen nodded, and said to Qian Xu and Yanyan: "When you come to the capital, you must rest for a few days, right?" Come to live in our palace, let you eat all the food in the capital, and take you to play in the capital, how about it? ”

Qian Xu also wanted to talk to Jin Chen more, and was about to say, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate", but Yan Shu preemptively said: "Really fake? Can you really eat all over the capital? ”

Jin Chen smiled with crooked eyebrows, and said affirmatively: "That's nature." ”

Yan Shu smiled: "Then we will follow you." ”

Tilt Xu couldn't cry or laugh, and suddenly found that the thin girl had been hiding behind Jin Chen and looked at them curiously, her bright eyes were dripping, and she quickly retracted behind Jin Chen after finding that Tilt Xu was looking at her.

Jin Chen saw that he was looking at it, so he stretched out his hand and gently pulled the little girl in front of him, and introduced: "This is Xue Xu, my little maid, is a mouse demon I took in not long ago, I am a little timid, don't mind." Xue Xu, don't be afraid in front of these two nobles, this one," Jin Chen raised his hand and gestured to Yan Shu, "This one you have to call your seniors, you are the same kind of person as us, you are very kind, don't be afraid." ”

Yan Shu's eyes widened in confusion.

"And this one," Jin Chen pointed to the smiling face, "this is the way of magic...... Strange people, very gentle, you can call her Sister Fairy. ”

Xue Su nodded ignorantly and shouted next to each other. Yan Shu touched her head "very kindly".

The men brought the carriage and drove them back to the palace. Along the way, he told Jin Chen the story of Hua Xi and Liu Xin, and Jin Chen sighed when he heard it.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Yan Shu began to ask Jin Chen about everything, mentioning King Jin, Jin Chen's mood was obviously much better, and he talked endlessly.

When everyone got out of the Jinwang Mansion, one person walked out of the mansion, with that delicate face, and seemed to say reluctantly: "Long time no see." ”

Yan Shu said loudly in surprise: "Hey, leap strict! ”

Yan Yan took a cautious step back and nodded his head in greeting.

Qian Xu also smiled, walked over in a few steps, quietly pulled Yan Shu away from the somewhat stiff Yan Yan, and asked, "Is the prince in the mansion?" Let's go pay a visit. ”

Yan Yan said: "The prince is in the palace and has not come back yet." ”

Jin Chen took Xue Kun's hand and walked over, "When my husband left this morning, he said that something seemed to have happened in the palace recently, and he might have come back late. ”

Yan Yan let out a "hmm", reached out and took the burden in his hand, turned around and walked towards the house.

Yan Shu chased after him and teased: "Hey, why don't you help me get it?" ”

Yan Yan rolled his eyes, ignoring him at all.

Everyone talked and laughed and walked into the palace together.

The Jinwang Mansion is very magnificent, not only covering a wide area, but also the decoration and repair inside are very luxurious. Yan Shu and Qian Xu watched while walking, full of praise.

Yan Shu looked around, and sighed: "Sure enough, the prince is the emperor's favorite brother, look at this mansion, tsk." ”

Yan Yan didn't reply and sarcastically said: "What, are you envious? ”

It was rare for Yan Yan to take the initiative to talk to him, and said happily: "Of course I envy it!" Hey, if I had such a brother......" The latter words suddenly stopped talking.

Jin Chen said curiously: "Why didn't the seniors say it?" ”

"He's imagining." ”

Xue Xuan burst out laughing, and timidly covered her mouth, pretending not to laugh.

Yan Yan turned his head and looked at Xue Yan, who blushed and quickly lowered his head.

When he arrived, Yan Yan put down his burden and said to him, "This is your room." He stretched out his hand and pointed to the next room, and said to him, "That's your room over there." ”

Yan Shu said "oh", and went over to put down the burden.

Jin Chen said: "How? Are you satisfied? ”

"I've never had such a nice room. ”

When Yan Shu finished letting go of his baggage, Jin Chen proposed to take them out for a stroll and have lunch outside by the way. Yan Shu naturally agreed with both hands, Xue Su tugged at the corner of Jin Chen's clothes expectantly, Yan Yan hesitated, but still said to go together.

The capital is really different from small towns, and the prosperity and liveliness here cannot be compared with any other place.

Everywhere you look, there are gorgeous green tiles and red walls, the stone-paved streets stretch into the distance and there is no end in sight, and the delicate and straight eaves are slightly upturned, tied with countless high-hanging and fluttering signboard flags swaggering in the wind. On both sides of the street are all kinds of shops, elegant tea houses, crowded workshops, merry taverns, and spacious pawnshops.

The streets were full of pedestrians, walking around pleasantly and merrily, and the occasional heroic young man galloped past on a horse, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Looking at the endless scene of prosperity, some expectations and novelties gradually rose in his heart. She turned her head to look at Yan Shu and found that although the latter looked very happy, she didn't seem to be very surprised.

"Words are sparse." Tilt Xu asked in a low voice, "You have lived for so many years, you should have also come to the capital to play, right?" ”

Yan Shu replied, "I've been here." But when I came before, it wasn't so lively. It seems that it started with this emperor, and the capital has become what it is now. ”

"What was the former capital like?" ”

Yan Shu suddenly fell silent.

Seeing this, did something happen to the heart of the capital in the past that made Yan Shu unable to speak?

Qian Xu was thinking about whether he had said the wrong thing, but he let out a long sigh and said regretfully: "Alas, I really can't remember." After all, it's been 500 years, and I can't remember, I can't remember. ”

Tilt: "......"

Jin Chen entertained them, and naturally took them to the most luxurious restaurant in the capital, Qingfu Restaurant.

As soon as he entered the restaurant, a well-dressed man with a spring breeze on his face walked over and said to Jin Chen with a smile: "Yo, it's really a blessing to be able to see Princess Jin come here today." ”

Jin Chen smiled, and said with a bit of businesslikeness: "I have a distinguished guest today, Shopkeeper Lou, you can look at the arrangement." ”

Shopkeeper Lou bowed down and said "yes", and called a guy to lead everyone upstairs.

He always felt a little strange in his heart, and asked Jin Chen in a low voice: "Why did this Lou shopkeeper come over as soon as we arrived, as if he knew that we were coming?" ”

Jin Chen smiled and didn't answer.

When he went upstairs, Yan Shu also felt weird, and when he looked back, he happened to meet the eyes of the shopkeeper Lou, and his eyes followed them all the way.

When they arrived in the box, everyone tacitly didn't say a word, until after Xiao Er finished serving all the dishes and retreated, Yan Shu stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and made an enchantment near the box before he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Jin Chen said: "From the first time I came to this Qingfu Restaurant, the shopkeeper Lou looked at me a little strangely. Later, several times when my husband brought me to dinner, Shopkeeper Lou would come forward to greet me in advance, as if he had known that I would come here. I suspect he's sending someone to follow me. ”

Yan Yan said coldly while holding the dishes: "There were indeed people sneaking around the palace before, but I ran away. There haven't been any weird people around the palace lately. ”

Jin Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "Really? Then why does Shopkeeper Lou seem to know that we are coming this time? ”

Yan Yan snorted, and stopped talking about eating food.

Xue Wei also lowered his head to eat, but his bright eyes were fixed on them, listening to them very carefully.

"But," said Qian Xu with a frown, "why does Shopkeeper Lou follow you?" ”

Jin Chen said lightly: "I guess it was instructed from above." Qingfu Restaurant is the best restaurant in Beijing after all, and the owner behind it ...... Hum. ”

"Huh?" Tilted slightly stunned.

Yan Yan suddenly said solemnly: "Don't say this kind of thing in front of the prince." ”

Jin Chen looked a little disappreciative, but he didn't speak anymore, and reached out and put a chopstick rabbit meat into Xue Xu's bowl.

He didn't understand it a little, but when he saw that everyone didn't say anything, he had to stop asking.

Yan Shu saw that he was still a little confused, and couldn't help but smile: "It's all my own people here, what's so bad to say?" Oh, what are you doing so seriously? ”

Yan Yan lowered his head and said while eating meat: "Who is with you is your own person." ”

Yan Shu raised his eyebrows and gestured to stand up. Yan Yan's delicate face turned white, and he raised his voice: "What are you doing?" Eat your meal and go! ”

Jin Chen gently explained to Qian Xu: "Immortal Gu, I mean, Qingfu Restaurant can be the first in the capital, and it is likely to be the industry in the palace. Shopkeeper Lou may also be a person in the palace. As the princess of Jin, ordinary people will not come to oppose me, and in this palace, the only one who is likely to send Lou to monitor me is the emperor. ”

Yan Shu said: "The logic is this logic, but why does the emperor spy on you?" ”

Jin Chen speculated: "Maybe it's because of my previous treason charge?" Maybe the emperor doesn't worry about me. ”

Qian Xu understood, and was about to say something, Yan Shu suddenly smiled and said, "Eh, Xiao Jin, since you know that there is a problem with this Lou shopkeeper, you still brought us over for dinner?" ”

Jin Chen said helplessly: "Then what should I do, I promised my predecessors to take you all over the capital, the food here is indeed one of the best in the capital, I can't break my word." Besides, with your predecessors here, what else is there to worry about? ”

Yan Shu grinned and said, "That's a good point. ”

Yan Yan held back and didn't speak, and put a small longbao into Xue's bowl.

Tilting thought about whether to also give Xue Xuan some food as a gesture of friendship, when suddenly a green thing flashed in front of the window, and Tilt was startled, and quickly ran to the window to look down.

Yan Shu had a piece of tofu in his mouth, and asked vaguely: "What's the matter, what is it?" ”

"Chunqi!"
