In the end, Zhiying apologized and lost money before sending the mother and son away.

Cui Yi was almost angry, sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard grinding his teeth, Shan Jian was also honest and happy, there was no quibble or begging for mercy, waiting for Zhiying to send people away, and consciously took the initiative to say: "The silver that was lost, Mrs. will deduct it from my future money." ”

"Yes, but half and half," Zhiying walked into the courtyard door with a smile, "You will pay half yourself, and the prince will give you half of it." ”

Cui Yi suddenly jumped up like a chestnut: "Why does this king want to pay off this romantic debt for him!" ”

Zhiying said with a smile: "Lord Wang, subordinates are also people, and they also have joys, sorrows, and sorrows, seven emotions and six desires, how can they just work and not live?" A few days ago, General Cao was still saying that he had fallen in love with a girl, and I was thinking of finding someone to ask for an auspicious day for the zodiac, and arranged his family affairs, what does the prince think? ”

When Cui Yi heard this, he was not very irritable, but he saw that Shan Jian's expression was very complicated, and Shan Jian knew that he had committed something and was disgusted, so he put away his past unruliness and pride, and stood quietly aside without saying a word.

"I also asked Mr., he said that his parents set a family business for him in his hometown, and Mr. is also suffering and suffering with the prince, hard work and resentment, and we will go back to the capital in a few years, and we must let Mr. marry a wife in a beautiful manner," Zhiying saw that he listened, so he patiently continued, "This time, Mr. Shan is indeed wrong, and he has already admitted his mistake and apologized, how can the prince not be sympathetic?" ”

Cui Yi thought about it with her cheeks, and felt that what she said was indeed reasonable, so she nodded: "You are right, I don't care about the things in everyone's hearts, it is my negligence, just do what you say." ”

Shan Jian breathed a sigh of relief and arched his hand: "Lord Xie, Mrs. Xie." Cui Yi waved his hand casually, and he went down.

As soon as Shan Jian left, Cui Yi couldn't help but ask: "You already know his ......?"

Zhiying touched his head and didn't think about it: "What that?" ”

Cui Yi really couldn't speak, and said angrily: "It's him and the young man...... The ...... Did you know before? ”

Zhiying immediately shook her head: "I don't know, you don't say that I didn't think about it in that direction, but then again, it was vague before...... How do you say that? I only know that he once liked someone, but that person is dead, just now I took a closer look, and I think that the young man and Mr. Shan's sweetheart are so similar, most likely drunk, mistaken for the person he likes, and made a mistake, which is understandable. ”

Cui Yi pondered for a while and asked, "Already dead?" Do you know who that person is? He said it to you? ”

Zhiying sighed and said, "No, don't ask, okay?" The prince won't want to know, besides, people can't be resurrected after death, so why bother to reveal people's scars again? ”

Although she said this, Cui Yi was still a little relieved, and nodded reluctantly, with a thoughtful look on her face.

"It's not too early, the prince goes to change his clothes and get ready to sit down!" Zhiying knew that he would probably have to struggle for a few days, this kind of thing is really not easy to accept immediately for ordinary people, he was just a guess at the beginning, and he was still suspicious for more than half a month, but Cui Yi is a straight brain, and if he can't figure it out, he will lose it, and it won't affect it too much.

Cui Yi asked strangely: "Sitting at the table?" Whom do you want to feast? ”

Zhiying stepped forward to hold him and went back to the room together: "It's easy for everyone to come back, I ordered the kitchen to cook a few decent dishes, first, to reward everyone, it is a celebration banquet, and secondly, seeing that it is autumn, I have to do something else after harvesting the wheat, and the next task is assigned." ”

Cui Yi looked at her: "There are still three?" ”

Zhiying said "um", took the clothes brought by the maids, and personally served him to change: "Mr. asked Bo Muer and Sang Duo to follow you to stop General Yang, but he intended to subdue them, and whether they succeed or not depends on tonight." ”

Cui Yi silently stroked the cuffs, smoothed his shirt with Zhiying, fastened his belt, and then looked up at him, and said softly: "Mr. Shan also said that Bomur is a wild horse, since it is a wild horse, it is not so easy to subdue, it is really not good, it is a favor to let them go, at least when the northern expedition is in the future, the prince does not have to worry about planting and fighting on the road, right?" ”

"Bo Mu'er is indeed a talent," Cui Yi put on civilian clothes, and waited for Zhiying to change into a bright dress, and then hugged her to sit on the throne outside, while saying, "Riding skills, and proficient in assassination and poisoning, after catching up with the Beidi envoys, I tried to consume the strength of the Beidi people along the way, the idea always coincides, and the cooperation is also a tacit understanding, if it weren't for his obsession with you, I have the heart to make this friend." ”

Zhiying couldn't help but laugh, and asked jokingly: "It is said that wives are like clothes, brothers are like siblings, how can the prince regard clothes as more important than siblings?" ”

Cui Yi glanced at her and replied clearly: "My wife is like clothes, my brothers are like siblings, whoever picks my clothes, I cut off his hands and feet, what's wrong?" Zhiying smiled so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist, so she had to praise: "The prince is wise." ”

The corners of Cui Yi's mouth were slightly hooked, and his smile was warm: "If he takes a fancy to other people or other objects, this king has never been a stingy person, but it doesn't hurt to give it to him, but you can't, no one wants to take you away from me." ”

This straightforward remark was heard straight to the blushing face, but the heart was full of tenderness, and he couldn't help but lean on his arms and asked evilly: "Really? Anything but me? If he asked Lord Cheng to give the prince the Xingyuan Sword, the prince would also give it? ”

Cui Yi nodded categorically: "Here, it's just a sword, and this king will still go into battle to kill the enemy without it." ”

Zhiying smiled and asked again, "What about the golden crow?" ”

This time, Cui Yi was entangled, hesitated, struggled, and finally held back a sentence: "No, Jin Wu has been with me for nearly ten years, and he is a close friend who is inseparable from life and death, sharing honor and disgrace, and cannot be given." ”

Zhiying was just teasing him, seeing that his expression was so serious that it seemed that someone really asked him for a golden crow, so he smiled and said: "It's just a joke, a gentleman doesn't take people's favor, although Bomur is a little stubborn, he is not stupid enough to ask the prince for a golden crow, look at the corners of your mouth, you should really let Jin Wu kneel down and kowtow to you to thank you." ”

Cui Yi also laughed, the two sat in the room and talked for a while, and the maid came to report that the wine and food had been prepared, and the guests had arrived, so they went to the banquet hall together.

Whether it is in the capital, or in Yanzhou, the Wuwang Mansion has never been as lively as it is today, there is one less rat Xie Yong in the strategist's seat, and there is one more poison strategist Shan Jian, who has already made a handful, in addition to Cao Qian and Yang Qiong, there are more Xu Cheng and Bo Muer, and Sang Duo, according to the rules of the Central Plains, it is inconvenient for an unmarried girl to sit at the same table with a strange man, but she is an outsider after all, and she doesn't pay attention to these, so Zhi Ying also asked someone to set a seat for her next to Bo Muer.

Xiaoqiu is still recuperating from her injuries, and it is Langyue who accompanies Zhiying, if she is still a little wary of her when she is in the capital, she is worried that she is a concubine or the queen's spy, after such a long period of observation, she has fully trusted her, plus Xie Yuchan, who is in trouble, has also been removed, and the banquet hall is full of her own people, and she feels happy when she looks at it.

Cui Yi entered the table, except for the Bo Muer brothers and sisters, everyone got up and saluted, and he waved his hand: "You don't have to be formal, sit down." ”

"Before, the Beidi soldiers committed the tiger and ran to the pass, the enemy was outnumbered, it was extremely dangerous, but with the concerted efforts of everyone, this group of jackals finally escaped back to the grassland with their tails between them, and it is rare for everyone to arrive today, this king will have a toast first, and thank you on behalf of the 100,000 people of Yanzhou!"

After a generous speech, Cui Yi raised his head and drank the first cup, and when the others saw it, they also raised their glasses, humbly not daring, what they should have, and drank it.

Cui Yi put down the wine glass, and Zhiying took the wine jug to fill it for him, and Bo Mu'er sat in the banquet and saw this scene, and the corners of his mouth unnaturally went down.

Cui Yi said again: "Zhongxing, I heard that you looked at a girl?" ”

Cao Qian was startled at first, then blushed, and replied embarrassedly while being pushed by Xu Cheng: "Yes...... There is such a thing. ”

Cui Yi shook his wine glass with a smile: "What kind of girl, do you want this king to tell you a matchmaker?" ”

Before Cao Qian could speak, Xu Cheng slapped him on the shoulder: "You kid is not kind, why haven't you heard you mention it?" If you like it, you have to roll up your sleeves and hurry up, if it's too late, you will be married by someone else, brother, I can wait to drink your wedding wine! Cao Qian laughed hesitantly, muttering in a low voice that the eight characters had not yet been skimmed, and his face was full of the shyness and joy of the young man's first fall in love.

Bailizan and Cao Qian were also familiar with each other, so they followed and coaxed him, teasing him with words, and even Shan Jian listened with a smile.

Everyone was sincerely happy for Cao Qian, only Yang Qiong smiled reluctantly, and Xiao Suo, who couldn't linger between his eyebrows, everyone toasted and congratulated, and he also raised his glass.

"General Yang's injuries are not healed yet, so don't drink," interrupted in a warm voice, "Come on, change a cup of tea for General Yang." ”

The maid went to change the tea, and Cao Qian also said: "Gongqi, don't drink it, if this thing really happens, please drink enough wine when you go back." Yang Qiong agreed with a smile, took the teacup and clinked glasses with him, and everyone laughed and drank all the contents of the cup.

The atmosphere in the hall is very good, everyone is familiar with each other and is not familiar with each other, the military generals have a bold style, and Xu Cheng has a loud voice, good words, talking about the past things in Yanzhou Mansion, making Zhiying laugh too, Shan Jian does not speak loudly, only occasionally whispers a few words with Bailizan, and when he hears somewhere, he will also nod his head in agreement, and he is harmonious.

Sang Duo is also cheerful and enthusiastic, unlike the Han girl who always divides herself at the banquet, everyone talks and laughs, she also wants to join in very much, and several times she wants to speak, but she gives up because she caught a glimpse of her brother's gloomy face, and she can't help but feel a little pitiful when she looks at Zhiying's ears.

Zhiying naturally saw her eagerness and scruples, nodded at her soothingly, and when everyone's jokes came to an end for the time being, she lost no time in diverging into the conversation: "Everyone has worked hard in Yanzhou for more than half a year, from the beginning of the lack of food and clothing, to now although it is not enough to have enough food and clothing, but it can basically get by, and it will only get better and better, although Yanzhou is remote, it is also a happy township, and then ......"

"Life is in sorrow, and death is in peace," Bailizan has played with her so many times, and has already practiced a tacit understanding, and it is very natural to continue, "If the prince is on one side, maybe everything will be peaceful in three or five years, but after a long time, the one in the capital will inevitably make some moves, if you don't prepare in advance and sit still, Anle Township will also become a hero's mound." ”

Zhiying nodded happily: "That's right, so we can't be careless at present, with the land of Yan Yizhou, if you want to compete with the court, it is not an easy task, you must do a good job of five years, ten years, or even twenty years of planning, external defense of the enemy, internal consolidation, agriculture to raise soldiers, wide open grain roads, is the long-term way." ”

She smiled and looked around at everyone present, except for Bomur, who looked uncooperative, everyone was waiting for her next step.

"Seeing that autumn is coming, the imperial court will send someone to collect this year's tribute before that, before that, we must be ready, and as in the past, I will talk about my plan first, and everyone can say what they have and brainstorm."
