Seeing Ziyuan like this, Zi Yan almost couldn't help but exclaim and was swallowed alive, and originally wanted to ask with her eyes, but saw Ziyuan glaring at her from an angle that others couldn't see.

The three of them grew up together since childhood, although they are masters and servants, they are more familiar with each other than sisters, and Ziyuan's meaning is very clear, which makes Zi Yan's heart tighten, and she bows her head cooperatively.

At this time, Ziyuan had already filled the wine cup in front of Xiao Xu, and walked in front of Chu Junlan again.

Chu Junlan pursed his lips slightly and lowered his eyes, taking advantage of the fact that Ziyuan bent down to pour wine, and others were unprepared to meet Ziyuan's eyes.

In just a moment, both of them saw the surprise in each other's eyes, but they also tacitly restrained their emotions.

The second prince had been staring at Chu Junlan's direction all the time, and when he saw Ziyuan stopping in front of Chu Junlan when he was pouring wine, he couldn't help but chuckle: "It seems that beauties also love to look at beauties." ”

This sentence is extremely frivolous and rude, and it would have been humiliating to compare a Kabuki with Prince Gong's future daughter-in-law.

Chu Junlan himself didn't look down on Ziyuan, so he didn't move, but Xiao Xu frowned and said, "Second Highness invites you today, I don't know what you have to do?" I have the rest of my business to do. ”

If it weren't for the fact that everyone present was all from the rivers and lakes, Xiao Xu didn't want to reveal the royal affairs, he would have to ask the second prince in person what he meant.

The emperor is seriously ill, but the second prince has the intention to eat and drink with a group of Taoist brothers here, which is really against filial piety.

The second prince didn't seem to hear Xiao Xu's voice, and only said with a smile: "I came here today mainly to celebrate the achievement of our common goal. ”

"Of course!"

"What kind of bullshit boy is that, helping to abuse, how many Second Highnesses' transactions have been suppressed these days!"

"That is, if it weren't for the Second Highness to stop us, we would have gone in with white knives and out with red knives!"

……

The room was full of gossip.

The second prince looked at Xiao Xu with a smile and said, "These brothers have spent a lot of effort in order to help me protect the property in recent days, and besides, the relatives of Miss Chu's family have also been disturbed by this Xiao Yunchang. Now that the accomplice of the sixth child is gone, and he wants to have a celebration banquet, it is naturally indispensable to invite the two of them to have fun together. ”

Chu Junlan lowered her eyes and was silent, she was now full of joy to see Ziyuan, and she had been thinking about how to save Ziyuan out, and she didn't care about what the second prince said at all.

Xiao Xu said: "Second Highness is too polite. We have no grievances and no hatred with His Royal Highness the Sixth and Xiao Yunchang, if we talk about having fun together, it is really impossible to talk about it. However, it is our honor to be invited by His Royal Highness. ”

The second prince's eyes narrowed, and he couldn't get used to Xiao Xu's tone of voice, as if Chu Junlan had now passed the door and become his concubine. It's really disgusting.

But the second prince still maintained a smile on his face, looked at Chu Junlan and said: "You can't say that, you don't feel it, but Miss Chu may not be unfeeling, you must know that Xiao Yunchang has always been disturbed by the Chu family." Why, shouldn't you, as a fiancé, be happy for Miss Chu and angry for her anger?

Is this accusing Xiao Xu of not caring enough about Chu Junlan?

Chu Junlan said: "Your Royal Highness is too worried, we are never separated from each other as an unmarried couple, and it is normal to share joys and sorrows, do we have to publicize it everywhere to prove that we have this tacit understanding?" ”

The second prince choked on Chu Junlan's words and rolled his eyes, and his disappointment and resentment towards Chu Junlan had reached the top.

Even if she refuses to agree to his pursuit, he has paid sincerely, why is she standing on Xiao Xu's side against him several times now?

Now is the most important time to compete for the throne, Xiao Xu is just a prince's son, is it possible that with her cleverness, she doesn't know that she is tied to Xiao Xu to stand in line in advance?

But Chu Junlan refused to stand in line, and he had to verbally humiliate and contradict.

"Miss Chu, it's just a matter of talking to us rough people, but everyone forgive me," the second prince picked up his wine glass, looked around and said, "Miss Chu is a heroine, she has always been quick to talk, there is one thing to say, I also appreciate her straightforward temperament, everyone is a fellow person, and I don't think about it." ”

"Naturally not, Your Royal Highness is right, we are all bloody men who have been on the rivers and lakes for many years, where will we worry about a little girl?" It looks like the girl isn't as old as their nieces and nieces.

Everyone was talking about it, and in the blink of an eye, Chu Junlan was held by them in the sky and on the earth, and he seemed to have become the core figure under the second prince.

Chu Junlan rarely spoke, thinking about Ziyuan while listening to the nonsense of the crowd. Xiao Xu nodded his head at first, but later he completely took the words of the second prince as a deaf ear, and until the banquet dispersed, they didn't make a clear question, why did the second prince invite them here today?

Seeing that it was getting late, Xiao Xu and Chu Junlan planned to say goodbye, but the second prince reversed the secret hostility and contempt when the two of them entered the door, and behaved extremely warm and friendly.

got into the carriage, and it wasn't until the carriage turned the corner that Chu Junlan said in a low voice: "Find a place to talk, I have something to say." ”

Xiao Xu immediately nodded and knocked on the wall of the carriage.

Someone outside answered, and soon drove the carriage to a desolate place, surrounded by barren fields in winter, and the guards who followed the carriage in the prince's mansion and a few of Xiao Xu's henchmen consciously stood much farther away.

Chu Junlan said at this time: "The second prince is not good, and he behaves like this, obviously trying to pull us into his faction." ”

Indeed, although in essence he couldn't win over, the intimacy he showed seemed to have been wooed. I think that's what he wants to do today. Xiao Xu also said.

Chu Junlan laughed mockingly: "He is too impatient, self-serving, and domineering, so when he saw us at the beginning, he didn't restrain his emotions at all, and he didn't react until later and rounded the topic back." ”

Xiao Xu bowed, "Don't worry, I will investigate this matter." ”

"I know I have something more important to say. Do you remember the asters I asked you to help you find? ”

Xiao Xu nodded: "I have already ordered someone to investigate along the way." ”

"There's no need to inquire, I've already seen Aster just now."

"What?" Xiao Xu was shocked and recalled the situation just now, and said, "Is it the kite who poured wine?" ”

"Yes." Chu Junlan said, "I can't imagine that she is now in the second prince's Yunlou, I plan to find her in the dead of night, as long as she wants to come back, I must find a way to let her regain her freedom!" ”
