Su He sat in his seat, and there was only a plate of lotus leaf cake and a plate of fruits on the table in front of him, plus a pot of water brewed with old tea, the contrast was obvious, and Su Nian's table opposite her was full.

Soho naturally didn't care about that, anyway, she was here to go through the motions.

The old lady said, "Okay, since everyone has arrived, I will also say a few words, we haven't had a meal together for a long time, this opportunity is rare, Qing'er is already married, and Nian'er is about to have a home, but I'm afraid that there will be fewer such opportunities in the future." ”

After everyone raised their glasses, the second lady frowned sadly and deliberately said, "Mother, I'm afraid that Nian'er's lifelong event will be ruined by the villain, and it can't be done." ”

The old lady's face was pulled down, and she looked straight at Soho, and everyone followed her gaze.

Soho really thought it was ridiculous, she knew that she was asked to come to humiliate her! Soho ignored everyone's gaze and still sat upright, she was not afraid of the shadow, just look.

"Three girls, you said it yourself, did you deliberately approach the prince?" The old lady asked.

Soho smiled, "No! If you don't believe me, you can ask the prince, why bother me? ”

"Not? Then tell me, why did the prince ask you to help? What can you, a little concubine, do for the prince? Isn't it because you have different intentions, is this your excuse to deliberately seduce the prince? Su Nian also said loudly.

Soho glanced at her, "Why is Second Miss so excited?" You have a deep love affair with the prince, what are you afraid of? Soho was deliberately sarcastic.

When Su Nian heard the words "deep love and longevity", she suddenly felt empty, of course she knew that she had no intersection with the prince, and it was precisely because of this that she would suffer from gains and losses.

The old lady said loudly, "Nian'er and the prince are a couple, three girls, I advise you, don't be ignorant and make others laugh!" ”

Soho replied lightly, "Yes!" ”

On top of the feast, other tables were staggered, and Soho was deserted here.

Finally waiting for the end, Soho got up and left, and as soon as she left the hall, she heard someone call her, "He'er." ”

Soho turned his head, it was Liang Rong.

"He'er, I've wronged you recently."

Soho smiled, "What's wronged, isn't this the norm?" ”

Liang Rong patted her hand, "However, if you really have a relationship with the prince...... That's okay, you can be regarded as getting out of the way, look at the second room, it's really a big scene. ”

Soho withdrew his hand without a trace, "The eldest lady said with a smile, I am innocent with the prince, and I have no side meaning." ”

Liang Rong listened, a little lost, to be honest, instead of letting Su Nian and the prince be together, it was better to be Soho!

"Okay, I'm thinking too much, but you have to be careful, now the second room sees you as a thorn in the flesh, and I can't wait to get rid of you immediately." Liang Rong instructed.

Soho nodded, "I know this, thank you for your concern." ”

As soon as I went back and sat down, Yingxue came to report that Su Kun was here.

Soho raised her eyebrows, "What is he here for?" ”

"I'm here to see the third sister, and I brought you something good by the way!" Su Kun's voice came.

Soho stood up, "The fourth prince is polite. ”

Su Kun put down the things in his arms and said, "This is the pen and inkstone of Fat Hongzhai, they are all good things, you can use them." ”

Soho shirked, "The fourth prince is polite, I don't need these, you can keep them for yourself." ”

"Is the third sister still polite to me? It's not right that it's the second sister at today's banquet, don't you mind, but ...... The matter between her and the prince is now being rumored, but I don't believe it as her own brother, but the third sister, I am more optimistic about you and the prince! Su Kun said.

Soho was perfunctory on her face, sneering in her heart, tempting her to test her to this point!

"The fourth prince has a big misunderstanding, I and the prince just met by chance, the prince is kind-hearted, pity me as a concubine, treat me better, as for the rest, I dare not have it, the fourth prince should not say it, otherwise people will misunderstand, I will also be in trouble."

Su Kun nodded, as if he believed it, he still wanted to continue to ask something, Su He yawned again and again, "Fourth son, it's not early today, you better go back and rest." ”

Seeing this, Su Kun couldn't stay long, so he could only leave.

Su Ho, who was still yawning just now, suddenly sobered up, and she called Yeyue and instructed, "You go to check the movements of this fourth son, I'm curious, okay, can he care about me?" ”

Yeyue took the order to go, Su Ho rummaged through the medicinal herbs in her hand, fell into deep thought, every time Su Kun came to her, she would feel unhappy, and there was always a faint uneasiness in her heart, this was a feeling, she couldn't tell the reason.

In the middle of the moon, Soho felt sleepy, and Yeyue also rushed back at this time, and reported that "Su Kun and the second prince have been moving around frequently recently, and they met privately last night, but they were heavily guarded, and they couldn't find out what they were discussing." ”

"It's this second prince again, it seems that Su Kun has taken refuge under him, otherwise he is a nerd who lives in a simple place, how could he frequently go out to meet with the second prince secretly? Su Kun tested me, to put it bluntly, it was also the instruction of the second prince behind him, and he and the prince were opponents, so ...... It makes sense! Soho said slowly.

Yeyue said, "Then we have to guard against Su Kun and stay away from him." ”

Soho shook his head, "No, the more this is the case, the closer you have to be to him, so that you can have a chance to investigate, isn't it the same for me?" ”

At the same time, a horse-drawn carriage was heading to the palace at night.

Zhou Jinghan suddenly received a secret order from the emperor to let him enter the palace immediately, it was already late at night, if it was not for an urgent matter, the emperor could not have done so. Zhou Jinghan didn't dare to slack off, so he put on his clothes and came.

In the imperial study, the emperor sat in front of the desk in his clothes, his brows were furrowed, the Son of Heaven was happy and angry, but at this moment, he could still feel his anger, he looked at the secret fold in his hand, and the more he looked at it, the darker his eyes became.

"Your Majesty, the regent is here." The chamberlain Liu Gonggong said softly.

Only then did the emperor raise his head and say in a deep voice, "Xuan! ”

Zhou Jinghan came in with a steady pace, "The emperor came late at night, I don't know what happened?" ”

The emperor waved his hand, "Don't be polite, sit!" ”

At this moment, there were just the two of them in the room, and Zhou Jinghan was sitting on the side, quietly waiting for the emperor to follow.

The emperor handed the fold to Zhou Jinghan, "Take a look." ”

Zhou Jinghan opened the fold, and the more he looked at it, the tighter his brows wrinkled.

After a long time, he closed the fold, "Iron ore is an official-owned business, and private mining is not allowed, who is so bold to mine iron ore privately!" ”

The emperor nodded, "Yes, the spies found out this iron mine in Anqing, these people are very hidden, and the spies didn't find out who they were, and they didn't dare to delay, so they hurriedly came to report." ”

"The amount of iron ore determines the strength of a country's army to a certain extent, and now all countries are stepping up the casting of weapons, and strictly controlling the export of iron, and our dynasty has expressly banned it, this group of people ...... It's really not easy. Zhou Jinghan said.

The Emperor rubbed his forehead, "Yes, this matter is not a trivial matter, and it is extremely shameful to treat the law as nothing, which is why I called you." ”

Zhou Jinghan stood up, "But listen to the emperor's orders." ”

The emperor smiled and waved his hand, "You sit down, you don't have to be so formal, I'm a little unaccustomed to your appearance." "The emperor values Zhou Jinghan and speaks to him calmly, but it is like ordinary brothers talking together, not like a monarch and a minister.

"You, fortunately, you didn't agree to deal with the water diversion today, otherwise I wouldn't have found the right person at this time." The emperor said with a smile.

Zhou Jinghan also smiled, "I am self-aware and know what I can and can't do." ”

The emperor nodded, very pleased, "Okay, then this matter will be handed over to you, be sure to find out, who dares to be so bold in mining iron ore privately, must be hidden." ”

Zhou Jinghan arched his hand, "Yes!" We will live up to our mission! ”

The emperor patted Zhou Jinghan on the shoulder, "Okay, go ahead, remember, your safety is the most important!" ”

Soho had already fallen asleep, in her sleep, she only felt a familiar aroma, and felt a little cold, she felt in a daze that someone was approaching her, but she was too sleepy, she turned over and continued to sleep.

As soon as Soho turned over, she heard a chuckle, Soho suddenly opened her eyes, she slowly turned her head, and almost screamed. Su He barely stabilized her mood, and her sleepiness disappeared all of a sudden, she sat up and looked at the man in front of her helplessly, "Lord Wang, don't you want to see what time it is?" ”

Zhou Jinghan smiled at the corner of his eyes, he sat in front of Soho's bed, "I didn't want to disturb you, but I woke you up." ”

Su Ho wanted to cry without tears, she held her forehead, "Lord Wang, it's not a question of disturbing or not, it's the middle of the night, and you a man broke in without saying hello, it's really ...... It hurts! ”

Zhou Jinghan smiled, "We are innocent, what are you afraid of?" ”

"Of course the two of us know that we are innocent, but others don't think so, you don't know, because of this, how much trouble I have caused!" Soho thought of the vicious eyes of the people in the second room looking at her, and she felt chills all over.

"Someone is bothering you? I'll go settle accounts with her! ”

Su He smiled bitterly and shook his head, forget it, I'm afraid that this man will be excessive, if she accidentally misses and loses her life, then won't she also have to bear the debt of life?

"It's just a trivial matter, don't bother the prince to worry, by the way, how about the prince's handkerchief?" Soho didn't forget to tease him.

Zhou Jinghan's face was light, "Take it and give it to the scary shoeshine." ”

Soho looked at him, speechless, "Shoe shine? "That's what Su Nian put his heart and soul into and embroidered at night.

"I didn't plan to use it myself, but I will bring it to you as long as I need it."

Soho hurriedly shook his head, "Forget it, you better keep it for yourself." "She has enough trouble here, if Su Nian finds out that the handkerchief she has embroidered with great difficulty is here, then she must not overturn her yard?

"Lord Wang, why did you come to me so late?"

Zhou Jinghan looked at Soho, "I'm going to leave the capital for a while, and I'm a little worried about you, so I want to come and see you." ”

Soho's heart throbbed slightly, although she felt a little inappropriate, but she was happy after all, who could not like the feeling of being remembered? It's been a long time.

Soho only felt a warm current slip through her heart, and she was no longer angry at Zhou Jinghan's invasion of her room at night.

Soho's heart throbbed, but her face didn't change much, and she asked, "Where is the prince going?" ”

"I can't say this yet, I'll tell you when I have a chance in the future, but it's you, I can't rest assured."

Su He suddenly didn't dare to look at Zhou Jinghan's eyes, she turned her head to the side a little unnaturally, and her tone pretended to be brisk, "If the prince has something to do, just go and get busy, what am I worried about here?" You see, every day I eat and drink well, there are still people waiting, I read books when I have nothing to do, pass the time, I don't have to worry about anything else, is there anyone more comfortable than me? ”
