"Quick, here, the thieves who steal things are here. ”

The Prime Minister's Mansion on the third watch day was brightly lit and full of people, so it was not lively.

The housekeeper led the servants and servants from the prime minister's study to the front hall, and could only stand in the courtyard and look at the black-clothed man standing on the roof from a distance.

The prime minister is a civil servant, and the family is also used to watch the door, and he is even more vulnerable to this thief.

"Butler, what's wrong?" A man in white walked slowly from the courtyard path, his voice was clear and light.

When the housekeeper heard this, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he bent over and walked quickly to the man in white, and said, "Childe, I haven't caught that person yet." After speaking, he raised his hand and wiped his sweat with his sleeve.

The man in white glanced at the butler, his gaze moved to the man in black on the roof, and with a slight touch of his toes, he jumped onto the roof and stood opposite the man in black.

The man in black only showed a pair of eyes, and when he saw the man in white falling on the opposite side, a slight smile flowed from his eyes, and he reached out to his waist and took out a hidden weapon and shot at the man in white.

The man in white was just a moment when he received the hidden weapon, and the man in black had disappeared.

The housekeeper stood in the courtyard and watched the confrontation just now, and secretly sweated in his heart. The prime minister is fifty and four, and the son has one heir, if the son is good, he will not be able to cut off even ten heads.

The man in white jumped off the roof lightly, landed in front of the housekeeper, and asked indifferently, "What did you lose in the study today?"

The butler waved his hand to make the servants retreat one after another, and then lowered his head and replied: "Liuxia jade pendant and Qinzhi's night pearl." ”

The man in white chuckled lightly and said, "It's an unrighteous thing, but it's better to lose it." ”

At the back door of Yanfu, a little girl waited anxiously, opening the door from time to time to take a look at the market, for fear of being discovered and for fear that someone would not find out.

It wasn't until I saw a person in a night suit walking leisurely this way that I breathed a sigh of relief and waved to the man excitedly.

"You girl, what are you excited about!" The man in black tore off the black veil covering his face, smiled brightly, and threw the Liuxia Jade Pendant and the Qinhui Night Pearl in his arms into her arms, "Let Feng Suo take the underground pawnshop tomorrow." ”

Twilight looked at the Liuxia Jade Pendant and the Qinhui Night Pearl in his arms, and his eyes widened in disbelief: "Miss, you really stole it!"

The woman glanced at the twilight book and said lightly, "When did your young lady miss it?" He waved his hand again, "You put away the things, be careful Ming'er, the government has been strict recently, and I will go back to make up for sleep." ”

Twilight stood in place and looked at the back of the woman leaving in a dashing manner, looked up at the sky, shook her head, and felt that the young lady was really good at pretending.

Yan Nanwan, the only daughter of Yanfu, is the first talented woman in the capital, her appearance is like a natural one, and her talent is incomparable to that of many men, and she has a gentle and stable reputation. Anyone in the capital will praise the only daughter of Yanfu as a model of women in the world's boudoirs.

But what is the end of this Yan Nan night, only the personal maid Dushu knows that she is virtuous and virtuous during the day, and the most real appearance of her young lady at night.

On the fifth watch, Yan Nan woke up in the evening, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said reluctantly: "Dusk book, it's still early, what do you want me to do?"

"Miss, have you forgotten that Mrs. Er said yesterday that at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet tonight, all the ministers will bring the women who have not left the cabinet into the palace to celebrate her birthday?"

Yan Nan sat on the bed obliquely, thinking that yesterday's mother seemed to really say it. I raised my eyes and glanced at the sky outside, but the birthday banquet is usually at night, so why do you get up so early?

"Twilight, I'll squint a little longer. Saying that, Yan Nanwan lay down again.

Hearing this, Twilight Shu put down the gorgeous clothes in his hand, walked to the bedside, pulled Yan Nanwan's futon, and said, "Miss, you still have to dress up, isn't it night to toss like this?"

Yan Nanwan ignored her, and Twilight Shu didn't give up, and continued to pull the futon.

Yan Nan couldn't stand it anymore, so she lifted the futon violently, glared at Dusk Shu viciously, and said, "Go and deal with the things from last night, and I'll get up." ”

Twilight Shu said happily: "Miss, Feng Suo took it early, and now it should have gone to the underground pawnshop." ”

Looking at herself in the mirror, Yan Nan hooked her lips and smiled, her face was really harmless to humans and animals, dignified and virtuous. Twilight helped her comb her hair, and when she saw Yan Nanwan admiring herself in the mirror, she said bitterly, "Miss, what do you say the number one beauty in the world looks like?"

"I haven't seen it either, I don't know. ”

"Can you look better than Miss?" asked Twilight again.

Yan Nanwan glanced at Du Shu through the mirror and said, "Look at these vain names, aren't they better looking than me!" suddenly remembered that day when I heard a few sons and brothers talking about the coveted look in the eyes of the world's first beauty, I was a little secretly happy.

"Nanwan, can you dress up?"

Listening to the warm voice outside the door, Yan Nanwan showed a simple smile and answered outside: "Brother, it'll be fine soon." After saying that, he urged Twilight Book to hurry up.

Twilight Shu complained dissatisfiedly: "Miss, you didn't want to get up just now, but the young master started urging me when he came." ”

Yan Nanwan smiled and said, "Good twilight, aren't I afraid that my brother will be in a hurry?"

Wearing a cyan skirt and a jade hairpin on his head, he walked out of the door in an extremely dignified manner.

Yan Nanchen sat on a chair in the courtyard drinking tea, and when he saw Yan Nanwan coming out, he stood up with a warm smile: "Nanwan, today's outfit shows the appearance of getting rid of the dust." ”

"Brother, why did you come to me so early?" Yan Nanwan walked to Yan Nanchen and sat down opposite him, added a cup of tea to himself, and looked at him with a smile.

Yan Nanchen laughed and said, "You still have to hold this Wen Hui appearance in front of me?"

Yan Nanwan also laughed, immediately changed her appearance, and said with a smile: "Brother, are you going to take me to have fun today?"

Yan Nanchen gently tapped her forehead and said, "I'm not having fun today." ”

"Then my brother just told me about the Queen Mother's birthday banquet in the evening?"

Yan Nanchen handed her a "really smart" look and said, "I heard my father and mother say that tonight is to use the name of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet to select the concubines and concubines for the princes." Do you have a good match?"

"Don't be the prince. Yan Nanwan waved his hand indifferently, "There is no difference between other princes. ”

Yan Nanchen's brows furrowed slightly, pondered for a long time, and said: "Nanwan, my father and mother have already said that your life's major affairs are all up to you, so you don't have to think about Yan Mansion." ”

When the two were at a stalemate, Twilight ran in from outside the courtyard in a panic, shouting, "Miss, Miss......"

Yan Nanwan looked at Dusk Shu's suddenly overwhelmed appearance, frowned, and asked, "What happened?"

Only then did Dusk Shu remember that Yan Nanchen was still in the courtyard, so he eased his expression and said, "Last night, the Prime Minister's Mansion was stolen again, and the whole capital was in an uproar. ”

Yan Nanwan pursed her lips, picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip: "It's not that Yanfu was stolen, what are you doing in such a panic!"

"Recently, many large families in the capital have been attacked by thieves, and the Criminal Department has been investigating them, but there is no result. Yan Nanchen sighed, "I didn't expect this thief to become more and more rampant." ”

Yan Nanwan and Dusk Shu glanced at each other, and both of them were a little uncomfortable in their eyes.

The Queen Mother's birthday banquet was set in the Nihua Palace, and Yan Nanwan and Yan Nanchen entered the palace together, and when the two arrived at the Nihua Palace, there were already many people.

I learned that the concubines and concubines will be selected for the princes today, and the ladies of the family are all dressed up in fancy ways. Yan Nanwan stepped into the main hall of Nihua Palace and muttered to Yan Nanchen in a low voice: "Brother, am I dressed too plain tonight?"

Yan Nanchen turned his face sideways and smiled at her dotingly: "My Nanwan has its own temperament." Pointing to the left, "You go and sit at my mother's place." ”

Yan Nanwan walked towards Yan's side with a gentle and demure attitude, Yan's looked at his daughter and smiled with satisfaction, and beckoned: "Evening, come and sit here with your mother." ”

With the reputation of "the first talented woman in the world", Yan Nanwan must be the focus of attention wherever she appears, and when she came to the palace, there have already been many young ladies and sons of the family who have set their eyes on her.

For this kind of high-profile situation, Yan Nanwan has long been accustomed to it. Sitting straight in his seat, he said a few words to Yan from time to time.

Finally waiting for the arrival of the emperor, the queen mother, and the queen, everyone got up together and knelt down: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live, the queen mother, queen mother, queen mother I wish the Queen Mother happiness such as the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan. ”

"Flat!" came the emperor's loud voice from a high position.

The Queen Mother said: "Everyone take a seat quickly." The Queen Mother smiled and said, "I heard that the emperor said that there are a lot of young ladies here today, and the mourning family must take a good look." ”

The little eunuch outside the hall shouted: "The crown prince, the fifth prince, the seventh prince, the thirteenth prince, and the prince of the Prime Minister's Mansion have arrived!"

The people in the temple moved their eyes to the door of the temple, waiting for a few people to enter. Yan Nanwan lowered her head to herself, thinking about which adult's house to go to find something good after the banquet was dispersed tonight.

Several people walked into the hall together, and the whole hall suddenly fell silent. Yan Nanwan was curious, raised her eyes slightly, and happened to bump into the prince of the Prime Minister's Mansion closest to her. The prince of the Prime Minister's Mansion turned his face sideways, and the two looked at each other, and Yan Nanwan subconsciously avoided it.

When the five of them walked to the front, Yan Nanwan muttered to herself in her heart, this person turned out to be Tao Xiaobei, the only son of the prime minister. Looking at him last night, her martial arts should not be low, but fortunately she ran fast.

"The sons and daughters participated in the father, the queen and the mother. ”

"The minister participates in the emperor and the queen. ”

The five of them said in unison.

The emperor looked at these five people and smiled from ear to ear: "Flat." ”

"The grandson wishes the imperial grandmother good life and good health. ”

"I wish the Queen Mother a long life and good health. ”

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Okay, well, get up and sit down." ”

Singing and dancing are indispensable for banquets in the palace, and although Yan Nanwan is proficient, she doesn't seem to be very interested. But you have to sit upright and wait quietly for the end.

"Who is the only daughter of the Yan family?" the Queen Mother suddenly called her name.

Yan Nanwan stood up from her seat without being humble or arrogant, and Shi Shiran saluted: "The courtier Yan Nanwan wishes the Queen Mother a long life and good health." ”

The Queen Mother looked her up and down, with a satisfied look on her face: "Come forward, I'll take a closer look." ”
