The next day, Concubine Shen Shu sent her personal palace maid Xiao Tao to call Zhao Hongrun to Ningxiang Palace.

Because a few days ago, Zhao Hongrun deliberately offended the concubines in the palace in order to force the emperor of Great Wei to allow him to leave the cabinet, so that today, Concubine Shen Shu had to take this stubborn eldest son to the concubines' bedrooms one by one to apologize.

Fortunately, Concubine Shen Shu has been living a life without quarrel with the world in the past, and she has never had a grudge with the concubines in the palace, not to mention that those concubines are not stupid, as soon as they heard that the emperor of Great Wei reluctantly gave the token that passed through the palace to Zhao Hongrun, the eighth prince, they immediately understood, and there was no resentment.

After all, except for Chen Shuyan, none of them had any actual losses, and now that Shen Shufei personally led Zhao Hongrun to apologize, the resentment in their hearts dissipated.

After the resentment dissipated, the more these concubines looked at Zhao Hongrun, the more pleasing they became, after all, Chen Shuyan used to be powerful and blessed on their heads, but now because of Zhao Hongrun's relationship, Chen Shuyan was more and more snubbed by the emperor of Great Wei, which made them feel happy in their hearts.

Based on this incident, even Liu Shuyi, who was angry with Zhao Hongrun, couldn't stop praising Zhao Hongrun after Shen Shufei came to apologize in person.

"Where does my sister say, Hongrun, this kid is very good to look at in this palace."

Speaking of which, Liu Shuyi is the mother of the third son of the emperor, "King Xiang" Zhao Hongjing. It is hard to imagine that as the biological mother of the third prince who has been crowned the king of the cabinet, Liu Shuyi could not suppress Chen Shuyan, but it is conceivable that Chen Shuyan was in the heart of the emperor of Great Wei at that time.

It was not until near noon that Concubine Shen Shufei and Zhao Hongrun returned to Ningxiang Palace.

"Run'er, it seems that you are in a good mood today? …… Or is it what the hell are you thinking? ”

Returning to her Ningxiang Palace, Concubine Shen Shu couldn't help but ask, because she felt that Zhao Hongrun seemed to be a little unbelievable today, even if she asked him to apologize to those concubines, he didn't have any words.

"Mother's eyes are sharp-eyed, how dare the child fight any kind of ghost idea?" Zhao Hongrun grinned.

"You...... It's hard to say. Concubine Shen Shufei beckoned Zhao Hongrun to sit down beside her, and said curiously, "Where did you go out of the palace yesterday?" Tell me about my mother. ”

"Well, I didn't go anywhere." How dare Zhao Hongrun tell the truth, and said half-truthfully: "The child just took a look at Chaoyang Street and walked around." …… It's so lively there, it's more interesting than in the palace. ”

Hearing this, Concubine Shen Shufei kindly admonished: "After all, the outside of the palace is no better than the inside of the palace, you have to be careful in everything." Also, you are a prince, and you must not do anything that violates your duty. ”

"Got it." Zhao Hongrun replied helplessly, and then said goodbye: "Mother, that child retired first." ”

"Huh? Don't you stay in your mother's palace to eat? ”

"No, I'll go to the attic of the Six Emperor Brothers first." Dropping a sentence, Zhao Hongrun ran away like a gust of wind.

"This kid. …… That is, the outside of the border palace is very interesting, so there is no need to be so anxious, right? ”

Concubine Shen shook her head helplessly.

She misunderstood, she thought that Zhao Hongrun was in a hurry to leave the palace, but in fact, Zhao Hongrun was just in a hurry to get to the Yafeng Pavilion of the sixth prince Zhao Hongzhao.

After all, in a few moments, his Sixth Emperor Brother might return from the palace school.

With a group of Zongwei hurriedly came to Yafeng Pavilion, sure enough, Zhao Hongzhao had not yet returned from the palace, and there was only a group of little eunuchs in the bedroom who were routinely cleaning.

"Your Highness." Seeing Zhao Hongrun, those little eunuchs hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Excuse me, what about the Sixth Emperor Brother?" Zhao Hongrun asked knowingly.

Those little eunuchs did not doubt him, and replied respectfully: "Return to the Eighth Highness, the Sixth Highness has not yet returned." ”

"Oh...... Feel free to do so, I'll stay for a while and see if the Sixth Emperor Brother returns early. ”

Zhao Hongrun seemed to be wandering around the hall casually, but in fact, he was looking for the next target, to see which painting he secretly walked along to not attract the attention of his six emperor brothers.

After a while, the target was selected, and Zhao Hongrun took advantage of the fact that those little eunuchs were not paying attention, secretly took down a painting, quickly rolled it up, and hid it in his clothes.

"That's it, it seems that the Sixth Emperor Brother may not come back, I will go out of the palace and come back tomorrow."

"Your Highness, go slowly."

Under the congratulations of a group of little eunuchs, Zhao Hongrun left happily.

And not long after he left, the sixth prince Zhao Hongzhao came back with his cadre of sect guards.

"Your Highness, it's only been the Eighth Highness."

As soon as Zhao Hongzhao stepped into the hall, a little eunuch who reported the matter reported.

"Hongrun?" Zhao Hongzhao was slightly stunned, and asked suspiciously, "What about others?" ”

"Seeing that I couldn't wait for His Highness, His Royal Highness went back."

"Oh......" Zhao Hongzhao frowned slightly, feeling a little puzzled.

After all, this is the second time, and his eighth brother Zhao Hongrun has been looking for him for two days in a row, but both of them missed it.

"It seems that I'll go to Wenzhao Pavilion when I go back."

Zhao Hongzhao muttered, after all, out of consideration of etiquette, Zhao Hongrun has already come to visit twice, even if the two miss it, Zhao Hongzhao needs to pay a return visit.

After thinking about it, he raised his feet and walked to the apse, but he had not taken a few steps before he suddenly stopped, and took a few steps back in a strange manner, looking around with a puzzled face.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?" His Zongwei Fei Wei asked suspiciously.

Zhao Hongzhao also felt quite puzzled, looked around for a while, and shook his head in confusion.

"Is it a delusion? I always feel like something is a little different......

Shaking his head, Zhao Hongzhao walked inside by himself.

The guards looked at each other, all a little puzzled.

At the same time, Zhao Hongrun, who had changed his clothes in the palace, led a group of guards out of the palace, and by the way, he exchanged another work of his sixth emperor brother Zhao Hongzhao for silver.

The old technique was repeated and walked around the city for most of the circle, until he felt that he almost threw his tail behind him, Zhao Hongrun led Shen Yu, Mu Qing, and Lu Mu to go straight to a water pavilion, and asked the remaining seven sect guards to continue to walk in the city to prevent people from watching behind them.

is the so-called once born and twice matured, this time I want to see that Miss Su again, Zhao Hongrun doesn't have to guess what kind of mystery it is.

He directly reported his name to a turtle slave, and after a while, the little girl Huan Lu'er from Cuixiaoxuan upstairs ran down to greet Zhao Hongrun.

It may be that the four hundred taels of silver yesterday played a role, and Lu'er's attitude towards Zhao Hongrun has obviously improved a lot, this little girl who is a fan of wealth welcomes Zhao Hongrun to the third floor, and at the same time looks at the backpack on Lu Mu's shoulder, and when she sees the backpack bulging, she is full of joy.

In this regard, Zhao Hongrun shook his head and said that he was speechless.

"Miss, Jiang Gongzi is here."

Lu'er made an announcement, and then Miss Su's invitation came from inside the house.

Entering the house, Shen Yu, Mu Qing, and Lu Mu were still sitting in their positions yesterday, cross-legged and chest-clasped, and closed their eyes to recuperate.

Zhao Hongrun looked at the walls of the house in surprise, because he found that all the crane pictures that were originally full of them in the house had been removed.

"What about the paintings?" Zhao Hongrun asked curiously.

Miss Su glanced at him helplessly when she heard this, and said quietly: "It's a shame that Jiang Gongzi still asked the slave family...... There is this crane painted by Jiang Gongzi, and those cranes in the slave family's clumsy paintings, how dare they come out to laugh and be generous, and they don't know where to hide for a long time. ”

"Hey." Zhao Hongrun smiled, looked down at the small case not far in front of him, but was surprised to find that this case they used to drink yesterday did not prepare a wine jug or wine glass on it today.

Zhao Hongrun was slightly stunned, and was about to speak, but suddenly heard the Su girl whisper: "Jiang Gongzi doesn't let go of the slave family, the slave family has prepared wine." ”

Zhao Hongrun looked up when he heard this, and sure enough, he found that Miss Su had prepared drinks on the table in her inner room.

In addition, there is a chessboard on the desk.

"Unconvinced by yesterday's defeat?" Zhao Hongrun sat down in front of her and asked with some amusement.

Miss Su glanced at him with some complaint when she heard this, and said with a little melancholy: "The slave family boasts that they are good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but yesterday they first lost their piano skills, and then their painting skills, and even calligraphy...... The slave family thinks that it is difficult to compare with the son. So today, I can only move out of chess, hoping to get back. ”

"I'm confident." Zhao Hongrun looked at Miss Su, and suddenly said with bad intentions: "If I tell you that what I am best at is chess, are you still so confident?" ”

"Huh?"

Miss Su's eyes widened in disbelief.

"The slave family doesn't believe it." Miss Su thought about it for a long time, but she still couldn't believe that a fourteen-year-old child was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

"Don't believe me? Then give it a try! …… But first, what if you lose? ”

Looking at Zhao Hongrun's still eager eyes, Miss Su couldn't help blushing a little, lowered her head and said faintly: "That...... Jiang Gongzi, what do you say? ”

"I want you to drink with me...... It's a real drink, but it's not just a dip in the lips. ”

"That's it?" Miss Su breathed a sigh of relief.

"......" Zhao Hongrun stared at her in amazement for a long time: "What do you think?" ”

"The slave family also thought it was drinking." Miss Su's white neck was flushed crimson with shame, and she said in a panic: "Since Jiang Gongzi is so confident, then the slave family can take the lead." ”

"Whatever you want. …… lest you lose and disagree, and then let you have three sons. Zhao Hongrun poured himself a drink.

『……』

Miss Su glanced at Zhao Hongrun in surprise, her eyes rolled, and the stars in the four corners of the chessboard fell.

"You're cheating." Zhao Hongrun couldn't laugh or cry a little, then shook his head and said with a smile: "It's a pity that it's useless, you will lose eventually." ”

Listening to these arrogant words, Miss Su held her breath in her heart, and made up her mind to let this boy who didn't know what humility meant taste defeat.

So she racked her brains and paid full attention, thinking about it for a long time before she lost a child. And Zhao Hongrun, who she faced, seemed to only care about admiring her beauty while drinking, and frequently landed on the chessboard almost without consideration.

But what is unreasonable is that in the end, it was Zhao Hongrun who won, and he won by a huge margin.

"How so?"

Miss Su was simply stunned.

"Drink." Zhao Hongrun poured a glass for her and brought it to her.

glanced at the chess game, and then at Zhao Hongrun, Miss Su had no choice but to hold the wine glass, and under Zhao Hongrun's intently gaze, she held the wine glass and drank the wine in the cup little by little.

Maybe she is really not good at drinking, so that even though it is just a glass of light wine, a layer of red wine halo appeared on her cheeks, and her beautiful eyes have become more tender and charming.

Looking at this scene, Zhao Hongrun sincerely sighed, the beauty is drunk, this is really a rare beauty in the world.
