"Thank Your Highness for your kindness, it's just this gift...... Ling Zhen couldn't accept it. ”

Qin Mu looked at her delicate face and smiled gently: "Only a peerless person like the Water Girl can be worthy of this thing." You might as well open it up and take a look, and it's never too late to push it back. ”

Shui Lingzhen hesitated for a moment, and the moment she raised her hand to open the mirror box, everyone's eyes converged.

The pale cyan silk thread is strung with two jade beads into a pendant, and the white jade fan bone is cold to the touch, with a hint of coolness.

Gently hold the slender hand and unfold:

A few strokes of light ink outline the shape of plum blossoms on the brocade white fan, and four big characters of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing jump on the paper.

"The first moon of the light plum" Shui Lingzhen read out softly, and the voice was beautiful, like spring water flowing into the mountain stream.

"I heard from the fourth emperor brother that the girl was originally strong in martial arts, but now that she has lost her martial arts, she should have something to take advantage of to defend herself. I wonder if the girl still likes it? Qin Mu's gentle voice sounded.

"Naturally, I like it, His Royal Highness's wonderful pen is hard to find, and Ling Zhen is fortunate to have no regrets in this life. Just ......"

"Girl, please rest assured to accept it, because this king and the royal brother still have something to ask for."

Shui Lingzhen was willing to agree, nodded and said, "In that case, please also ask the two highnesses to move to the front hall." Housekeeper, prepare tea. ”

"The housekeeper is so young and has good skills, why don't you go out to make a living, but become a housekeeper?" Qin Yuan had noticed that Shui Shunan was unusual since he entered the door, and asked at this moment.

Qin Yuan carefully observed this person and found that his aura was restrained, his gait was light, and although his martial arts were below him, they were not much weaker.

Such a master is a housekeeper by Shui Lingzhen's side, and anyone will be suspicious.

There was another little squire as well.

This is in the Moon Pavilion...... How many secrets are there?

"Back to the prince, the villain is stupid by nature, and the family used to be in business, but in the hands of the villain, due to poor management, the family property was lost. Thanks to the young master's refusal to give up, this is how he followed. Shui Shunan was shocked, but his face was an extremely respectful answer.

"I see." Qin Yuan nodded in disbelief.

Shui Lingzhen took a sip of tea, and her voice didn't make a trace of waves: "Nanshu, I still have something to discuss with His Highness." Stand down. ”

"Yes." Shui Shunan understood that Shui Lingzhen was relieving the siege for herself, and respectfully retreated.

"Dare to ask the two highnesses what is the matter?"

Qin Yuan and Qin Mu glanced at each other, and spoke first: "The water girl was born in the rivers and lakes, and this king wants to know how much you know about the Shen family in Yancheng." ”

Yancheng Shenjia ...... Could it be ......

Shui Lingzhen thought of the weapon casting workshop that Luo Xiaohua casually mentioned before.

"Thirty years ago, Shen Ting, the head of the Shen family, and his best friend Mo Xunfeng became famous together and settled in Yancheng. But fifteen years ago, the Mo family suffered a catastrophe, and Shen remembered the friendship of the past, so he vowed to quit the rivers and lakes and start business. ”

"The Mo family?" Qin Mu became interested.

Shui Lingzhen looked at Qin Mu and explained, "I wonder if Your Highness has ever heard of 'the possession of the soul, the shadow follows the form'?" ”

Qin Mu nodded: "Shadow Sword...... I've heard of it. ”

"Senior Shen is the master of the 'Soul Sword', and the owner of the 'Shadow Sword' is Senior Mo Xunfeng Mo."

"The water girl is so familiar with the affairs of the rivers and lakes, this king admires it."

"Why did His Royal Highness King Ning suddenly ask about the Shen family?"

"The second emperor brother is about to go to Yancheng on the order of the emperor to discuss with the head of the Shen family about opening a weapon casting workshop with the royal family."

Qin Yuan raised his eyes and said in a deep voice: "You are from the rivers and lakes, if you go with the second emperor brother, this trip will be much smoother." ”

"Your Highness wants to borrow Ling Zhen's hand to collect the weapon foundry under your command?"

A dark light flashed in Qin Yuan's eyes, and his voice couldn't hear emotion: "Smart people don't live long." ”

"Your Highness Xie compliments."

Shui Lingzhen did not hide the cunning in her eyes: "The prince is not afraid...... Ling Zhen betrayed with the Weapon Foundry in the future? ”

Qin Yuan paused, looked at her, and slowly spoke: "This king, believe you." ”

At that moment, the four eyes were facing each other, and suddenly Shui Lingzhen saw a kind of profundity in Qin Yuan's eyes flashing, and when he looked at it again, it had already faded.

Shui Lingzhen breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she had already said that she and Qin Yuan were the same kind of people, and it was impossible to cooperate with emotion, she must have seen it wrong.

Shui Lingzhen smiled: "I hope that His Highness will also believe me in the future." ”

Qin Mu heard a certain meaning from Shui Lingzhen's tone, and said tentatively: "What does the girl mean by this?" ”

"There is no eternal cooperation in the world, Ling Zhen is just feeling, and has no other intentions."

"Did the water girl agree?" Qin Mu said.

"Ling Zhen is willing to go to Yancheng with His Royal Highness King Xian."

"That's very good."

"It's just that Ling Zhen has a special identity, and she rashly came forward to receive the weapon foundry, and the emperor ...... there" Shui Lingzhen thought about it while holding the teacup, and shook her head.

Qin Mu couldn't help but smile more gently when he saw her cute demeanor: "The painter Yin Hua is from the rivers and lakes, and the emperor originally intended to send him with him." But he was injured a few days ago, and now he is recuperating in the palace, and the fourth brother recommended the girl to the emperor. ”

Shui Lingzhen shook her head: "Instead of believing in a person of unknown origin, it is better for the court officials to be reliable." The emperor's move is probably testing the two. ”

"This king has his own way, so there is no need to worry about this." Qin Yuan raised his eyes to look at her and said unhurriedly.

Shui Lingzhen lowered her head and secretly rolled her eyes, muttering, "Who is worried about you, I am afraid of putting myself in it." ”

"What did you say?"

"Ling Zhen is saying that His Highness's arrangement must be reliable." Shui Lingzhen said with a smile, this demeanor is like a very clever and cute fox.

Qin Yuan raised his eyebrows: "When I first saw her, the girl was not shocked, why has her temperament changed so much now?" ”

Shui Lingzhen saw that his eyes were deep, and secretly said that it was not good! Immediately stood up and saluted: "Ling Zhen was injured before, and she was emotionally unstable, if there is any offense, now make amends to His Highness." ”

Indeed, after taking the antidote of the Ice Bone Pill, that cold feeling was indeed slowly fading. It's just that she has been closed to her emotions for many years, and now she has suddenly recovered, and she has indeed changed a lot.

"That's it, this king doesn't care about you."

Shui Lingzhen bowed his head to show his thanks, and then said, "I wonder when His Royal Highness King Xian will set off?" ”

"Three days later."

"Well, when Ling Zhen visits Marquis Wen tomorrow, he will set off with His Royal Highness."

"In that case, this king will go back to do some work, and pick up the girl in three days." Qin Mu got up and arched his hand.

"Good"

"Second Emperor Brother stay, we still have one more thing to talk about with Miss Shui."

Qin Yuan put down the cup and walked to Shui Lingzhen, holding down the back of her chair. Eyes on her right hand that reached into her sleeve: "Now you can speak." What are your conditions for cooperating with this king? ”

Regardless of the feeling of oppression from the top of her head, Shui Lingzhen casually took out two plums from her sleeve and picked one up to eat.

"Water, Ling, Zhen." Qin Yuan said word by word with a calm face.

"Your Highness, don't be angry." Shui Lingzhen smiled and stuffed another plum in his hand into his mouth.

Qin Yuan immediately looked disgusted and wanted to spit it out. But as soon as it reached his mouth, he felt a burst of sweetness and sourness, and subconsciously swallowed it.

“…… Your Highness"

Qin Yuan lowered his head and found that Shui Lingzhen had raised the empty teacup to his mouth.

"What do you do?"

"If Your Highness doesn't like it, spit it out. Ling Zhen continued. ”

Qin Yuan's face suddenly darkened: "What do you want!" What nonsense! ”

Shui Lingzhen then withdrew her smile, and said with a straight face: "What Ling Zhen wants, His Highness can't give it now." When it comes to what you can give, Ling Zhen will naturally not be polite to you. ”

"Do you know what this king wants?"

Shui Lingzhen lowered her eyes and said in a very low voice the three words that made Qin Mu and Qin Yuan's faces change.

"Brother Huang."
