Duanyang Day did not enforce a curfew for three consecutive nights, and the imperial court did not restrict the people of Daliang from having fun all night.

But even so, the late night is much more deserted than the day.

So around midnight that night, Zhao Hongrun took Princess Yulong, who was already tired of playing, back to the palace, and after changing back her original clothes in Wenzhao Pavilion, Princess Yulong secretly returned to her Yuqiong Pavilion under the escort of Zhao Hongrun and several guards.

It is undeniable that Princess Yulong's status in the court is not very good, and there is only a middle-aged palace maid and a few young palace maids around her.

These palace maids have been looking for the whereabouts of their princess since the beginning of their lives, and they are going crazy.

"Your Royal Highness, you are back. …… Where have you been? ”

A young palace maid had been waiting for Princess Yulong outside the palace of Yuqiong Pavilion, and after seeing her return safely, she asked impatiently, and whispered to her princess: "Princess, be careful, Xu Gongshi is angry." ”

"Xu Gong Shi ......" Princess Yulong, who returned from full pleasure, showed a little uneasiness on her face.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but ask: "Sister Huang, who is the history of Xu Palace?" ”

Before Princess Yulong could speak, the palace maid saw Zhao Hongrun and the others, and she was happy that the princess, who had been missing for two hours, came back unharmed, but she didn't notice Zhao Hongrun and the others behind the princess.

Now that she saw Zhao Hongrun at a glance, she immediately asked in an unceremonious tone: "Who are you?" How dare you be so close to my princess? …… Did you kidnap my princess? ”

"Cui'er." Princess Yulong was afraid that Zhao Hongrun would be angry, so she hurriedly reprimanded: "This is my brother, the eighth prince Hongrun." ”

"Eight, the eighth prince?" The palace maid who changed to Cui'er's face suddenly turned pale, and hurriedly bowed to the ground and said, "The slave and maid are clumsy and don't know His Royal Highness, please forgive His Royal Highness." ”

Zhao Hongrun glanced at Princess Yulong, and saw that she was looking at the palace maid Cui'er with worry and embarrassment, and then turned his head to look at him, he suddenly understood: This palace maid must be the personal palace maid of this imperial sister, and she has a good relationship.

Even so, how could Zhao Hongrun blame, waved his hand and said: "Those who don't know are not guilty, get up." …… You haven't answered me yet, so who is Xu Gongshi? ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for not blaming." The palace maid Cui'er stood up with palpitations and secretly looked at Zhao Hongrun in front of her.

You must know that the love between brothers and sisters in the court has always been weak, she has served by Princess Yulong's side for so many years, and it is the first time she has seen a prince walking with their princess.

"That Xu Gong Shi ......" Cui'er's eyes rolled slightly, and she said in a low voice: "It is a female official sent by the 'Shangyi Bureau' in the palace to serve the princess, and she has always been very bad to the princess......

"Cui'er is not allowed to talk nonsense." Princess Yulong seemed to notice something, and turned her head to Zhao Hongrun and explained: "Hongrun, don't listen to her nonsense, Xu Gongshi is just a little harsh on me, and everyone in the palace is like this......"

Although I don't know what happened, Princess Yulong already felt a little: the royal brother in front of her, for some reason, loved her extraordinarily, or maybe she believed the words of the palace maid Cui'er and went to find trouble with the palace maid Cui'er.

"That's right...... Won't the royal sister invite me to a cup of tea? Zhao Hongrun said to himself, and walked towards the Yuqiong Pavilion.

Princess Yulong felt bad when she heard this, glared fiercely at the mouthy palace maid Cui'er, grabbed Zhao Hongrun's sleeve and whispered: "Hongrun, it's not too early, you go back first." …… You still stay in the imperial sister's bedroom late at night, this is not a good word. ”

At this moment, a palace maid of some age walked out of the Yuqiong Pavilion, saw Princess Yulong, frowned and walked over, walked up to Princess Yulong and scolded her: "Princess, do you still know how to come back?" What time has it been? I'll report this to the Shangyi Bureau. ”

After that, the elderly palace maid noticed Zhao Hongrun, who was pulled by Princess Yulong's sleeves, and her eyebrows furrowed tightly: "Who are you?" ”

Zhao Hongrun's eyes swept the palace maid lightly, and he had already guessed the identity of the other party in his heart, and said in a cold tone: "Zhao Hongrun! ”

Zhao ...... Great...... Run......"

The palace maid's face suddenly changed when she heard this, and she hurriedly knelt on the ground, looking at her panicked appearance, the palace maid Cui'er laughed a little gloating beside her.

"You are Xu Gongshi?"

If Zhao Hongrun was polite when he spoke to the palace maid Cui'er just now, then at this time he was in full posture as a prince.

Combined with the palace maid Cui'er's small report and Princess Yulong's worried expression, Zhao Hongrun could guess what was going on with a casual guess.

It's nothing more than the female official in the palace sent by the Shangyi Bureau in front of her who saw that Princess Yulong had no one to help her in the palace, so she treated her badly.

Of course, these are just Zhao Hongrun's guesses, and he still has to confirm it.

Suddenly, his gaze swept to Cui'er, the palace maid who was secretly sneering at Xu Gongshi on the side, and his heart moved slightly.

He could see that this palace maid named Cui'er had a very active brain, and when he saw that he had a good relationship with Princess Yulong, he tried to borrow his hand to punish that Xu Gongshi, although he was young, he was indeed very smart.

Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and asked, "Cui'er, if His Royal Highness is not here this time, will the imperial sister be punished?" ”

Cui'er glanced up at Zhao Hongrun, as if she had understood something from his eyes, and said without hesitation: "Xu Gongshi will say bad things about the princess to the Shangyi Bureau, unless ......"

"Unless what?"

"Unless Her Royal Highness the Princess gives her some silver."

As soon as the words fell, I saw Xu Gongshi, who was kneeling on the ground, hurriedly got up, pointed at the palace maid Cui'er and scolded angrily with a flushed face: ", you don't want to spew blood!" ”

Zhao Hongrun's eyes were cold when he saw this: "Has His Highness allowed you to get up?!" ”

Listening to the cold voice, Xu Gongshi trembled.

Although she is a female official in the princess's boudoir, she has not had the opportunity to meet Zhao Hongrun, a prince whose bad reputation has spread all over the court, but at least she has heard of this prince's "great achievements": this is a prince who dares to destroy the imperial garden of the Son of Heaven and the Youzhi Palace who dares to smash Chen Shuxi.

With a pop, Xu Gongshi fell to his knees again.

"Hongrun." Princess Yulong shook her head gently at Zhao Hongrun, and said in a low voice, "Don't make trouble." ”

Zhao Hongrun glanced at Princess Yulong, smiled and asked, "Is what Cui'er said the truth?" ”

Princess Yulong opened her mouth, speechless, and her expression was a little embarrassed for a while.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun still has something he doesn't understand.

He couldn't help but be a little angry, you must know that the princess's monthly salary is not as generous as the prince, but Princess Yulong sometimes has to bribe female officials because of her occasional misdeeds, so as not to report the "bad deeds" to the Shangyi Bureau.

However, for the sake of this imperial sister frequently shaking her head at her, Zhao Hongrun still endured it, thought about it, and said, "Lu Mu, bring the silver." ”

Lu Mu understood, took out two silver ingots from his arms, and threw them in front of Xu Gongshi with an indifferent face.

Seeing the two ingots of silver rolling in front of him, Xu Gongshi's heart went up and down, and he didn't tremble.

She dares to take it?

No, she didn't dare to take it at all!

"The slave and the maid are guilty, the slave and the maid are guilty......" Xu Gongshi kowtowed again and again.

At this time, Zhao Hongrun squatted down, placed the two ingots of silver neatly in front of Xu Gongshi, and said in a low voice: "In the past, since my imperial sister doesn't want to worry about you, His Royal Highness will not be to blame in the past, but in the future, if Xu Gongshi is short of silver, you might as well find this Royal Highness to ask for it...... Got it? ”

He said very slowly, word by word, and said it clearly, although there was no threatening tone, but the deep meaning in his heart made Xu Gongshi's forehead break out in cold sweat.

"Don't dare, the slave doesn't dare anymore......"

"Very well, put the money away!"

Zhao Hongrun nodded with satisfaction, slowly stood up, arched his hand towards Princess Yulong, and said with a smile: "Imperial sister, then Hongrun has taken his leave first, so you should rest early." ”

"Oh......" Princess Yulong's expression was a little weird, after all, it was the first time she found that once this kind imperial brother became serious, the momentum was really scary.

Suddenly, she thought of Xu Gongshi, who was still kneeling on the ground, and hurriedly bent down to help him up: "Xu Gongshi, get up quickly." ”

"Princess Bulao, Princess Bulao ......" At this time, where did Xu Gongshi still have the majesty of scolding the princess, bowing his head and holding the two ingots of silver as if holding coals, making people feel uncomfortable when they look at it.

"Ah, the princess hasn't bathed yet, so the slave maid will go and prepare the water for the princess to bathe......"

Not daring to make eye contact with Princess Yulong's gaze at all, Xu Gongshi ran to the Yuqiong Pavilion in a panic.

"Hoo ......"

Princess Yulong let out a long breath, and her expression couldn't help but be a little weird.

Turning her head to look, she found that the palace maid Cui'er was still looking at the direction of her eighth brother Zhao Hongrun's departure stupidly, she was angry and funny in her heart, and stepped forward and gently knocked Cui'er's head: "I've returned to my soul!" ”

I saw Cui'er rubbing her head, and said with a wistful face: "His Royal Highness is really powerful......

Princess Yulong was slightly stunned, but she echoed Cui'er's words in her heart.

She originally thought that her Eighth Emperor Brother, who had always been reckless in words and deeds, would teach that Xu Gongshi a hard lesson in order to be angry with her, but she didn't expect that Zhao Hongrun used the means of a superior person, not like a fourteen-year-old child at all.

"Sichun?" Princess Yulong smiled and teased her personal palace maid: "Do you want me to pull the string for you?" ”

Cui'er pursed her lips and said regretfully: "That's His Royal Highness the Prince......"

Yulong smiled bitterly in her heart when she heard this, in fact, she also understood that whether it was a princess or a prince, there was no freedom in marriage between the two.

"It's good to know, let's go back."

"Hmm. …… With the help of His Royal Highness, no one will dare to bully the princess in the future......"

"No one bullied me in the first place......"

"Who said that...... By the way, where have you been, princess? ”

"Went to ...... Don't tell you! ”

Leaving Cui'er, who had wide-eyed eyes and a look of grievance, Princess Yulong ran to the Yuqiong Pavilion with a smile.

Perhaps, putting aside that layer of melancholy, she is actually just an ordinary fifteen-year-old girl.

"Again, note that Princess Yulong is not the heroine, and she won't be together, so don't be entangled anymore." focuses on this woman, just because she is an important supporting role in driving the events of the plot and the fuse of the fourth father-son war, nothing more. …… Is this a spoiler? Well, it doesn't count.'"
