Chapter 117: Dinner

Xia'er jumped down, couldn't help but exclaim, and her hands reflexively raised up and climbed on his neck. But when she realized what she had done, her face instantly turned red - this is obviously the rhythm of throwing herself into her arms!

Xia'er glanced at her with low eyes, it was probably her embarrassed expression that pleased Mu Qiange, so Mu Qiange's face was not as cold as the cold smile at the beginning, with a rare hint of teasing.

The faint fragrance of green bamboo came to his face, Mu Qiangehuan's heart beat faster, and his face was on fire...... Xia'er pushed her chest in embarrassment, "You, why are you hugging ......"

Mu Qiange closed his eyes for a moment, then regained his composure, and then looked at Prince Su Xiaonuan and said, "Tonight is Mu Qiange's impulsive rudeness." She didn't pay attention to Xia'er's feelings.

Su Xiaonuan looked at Mu Qiange with a wicked smile and said, "The true colors of a man, this prince understands." ”

Mu Qiange turned to look at Xia'er's frightened face and said, "This son shouldn't be so rude, and I hope that Miss Xia'er won't be angry." ”

Miss Xia'er came back after she said this, and then said to Mu Qiange: "Ninth Master, Xia'er is going to dance for Ninth Master today, I didn't expect you to be so impatient." ”

At this time, Su Xiaonuan, who was on the side, suddenly said loudly to Xia'er: "Why are you talking so much? This king asked you to accompany Lord Ning, and I didn't say anything against it, what is your name? ”

Mu Qiange looked at the two of them, and couldn't help but feel a trace of guilt in his heart, and said to Prince Su Xiaonuan in a slow voice: "Why does Prince Su Xiaonuan have to be like a little woman? She said that she wanted to play the piano and listen to me, so why don't we listen to the piano while eating at night? ”

A smile rose on Prince Su Xiaonuan's displeased face when he heard this, and he said apologetically: "It's okay, it's okay, it just so happens that I haven't eaten yet, you wait a minute, I will tell the people to prepare dinner." ”

Then Prince Su Xiaonuan said to the steward of his mansion, who was also an old man: "Go and prepare a table of good wine and food, I want to have a drink with Lord Ning tonight." After hearing this, the old man in charge saluted Su Xiaonuan, and then walked out of the hall quickly.

After about half an hour, a table full of wine and food was placed on the desk in the hall, Mu Qiange couldn't help but be secretly surprised when he looked at the table full of food, this kind of food was just a meal used by Prince Su Xiaonuan to greet the guests, which was dwarfed by the one in his own Ning Mansion.

Prince Su Xiaonuan looked at Mu Qiange and seemed to be in a daze, and then smiled at Mu Qiange and said, "Lord Ning, why are you in a daze, this is the dinner I specially prepared for you, let's start eating?" When Mu Qiange heard this, he said to Prince Su Xiaonuan: "It turns out that such a sumptuous dinner was prepared for Ning. ”

Prince Su Xiaonuan nodded at him and said, "Yes, this prince can't eat so much alone, let's start eating quickly, otherwise the meal will be cold." ”

Mu Qiange picked up the cup, drank a glass of wine from Prince Su Xiaonuan, and then began to eat slowly, Prince Su Xiaonuan looked at Mu Qiange when he was eating, he was very much like a woman, and with her beautiful face, if she didn't have the famous students of the rivers and lakes of the Ninth Master and wore a man's clothes, she would definitely be a beauty in the city.

At this time, there was a very pleasant sound of the piano in the distance, Prince Su Xiaonuan and Mu Qiange couldn't help but look up at the same time during the meal, it turned out that Xia'er was playing the piano, I saw her sitting on the ground, pointing down to the Qinghua room, the sound of the piano came out tactfully, giving people the feeling that she should definitely be a master of playing the piano.

Looking at Miss Xia'er's serious appearance, Mu Qiange couldn't help it anymore, but she still forced her physical desires, and then ate a slow dinner, not to mention that the cooking skills in the prince's mansion were still quite good, which made Mu Qiange can't help but increase her food.

After Prince Su Xiaonuan ate a little bit, he listened to the sound of the piano while waiting for Mu Qiange to finish dinner.

After a while, Mu Qiange patted her stomach, it could be seen that she was very full, and at this time, Xia'er's piano sound also stopped abruptly, Mu Qiange looked at Su Xiaonuan and said calmly: "Thank you Prince Su Xiaonuan for preparing such a good dinner, I don't know if the prince needs to help with anything?" ”

Prince Su Xiaoshi looked at her and said, "It's nothing, just invite Lord Ning to come to the mansion to sit and make friends, and there is nothing to say a few more good words for me in front of my father on weekdays." ”

Mu Qiange looked at him and thought for a while, and then said: "I'm afraid it's not so simple, I'm only ranked in the second-rank official rank of the imperial court, and I don't see the emperor many times on weekdays, but I was only recently appreciated by Su Xiaohuang, if I make a friend like the prince, I am happy." ”

Prince Su Xiaoshi laughed at Mu Qiange and said: "With Lord Ning's talent and resourcefulness, I believe that you will one day soar, and you and I are good friends, which can be described as a tiger with wings." ”

Mu Qiange pondered for a moment and smiled faintly at Su Xiaoshi, and continued: "Thanks to Prince Su Xiaoshi's love, I also have the intention to be friendly with the prince, but I have not been an official for a long time, and I still need a few days to hone before I can really help the prince." ”

Prince Su Xiaoshi laughed at Mu Qiange again and said, "Lord Ning, you are really humble, but it doesn't matter, let's have a long time and a slow relationship." After a pause, he said loudly again: "Come on, bring up the prepared things." ”

Then two maids walked up in the hall, each of them dragged a plate covered with black cloth, Prince Su Xiaonuan walked quickly to them and lifted the black cloth, only to see that the plate was full of silver, as much as one or two hundred taels of silver.

Prince Su Xiaonuan looked at Mu Qiange and said, "Lord Ning, this is a little bit of the prince's heart, please accept it." Mu Qiange looked at the silver in the tray in front of her and didn't move for a moment, because her Ning Mansion was also short of money.

Mu Qiange's face couldn't help but show a touch of joy, thought for a while, and then said to Prince Su Xiaonuan: "Thank you for the prince's kindness, I will be disrespectful to this, and there is indeed a shortage of money in this mansion." ”

Prince Su Xiaonuan looked at Mu Qiange and said quickly: "Refreshing, unlike some people who accept some people's money and pretend to be, Lord Ning, I like people who are so happy with you." ”

Mu Qiange couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, this is the first time she has received other people's silver taels, or is it so much, but think about it, if you have money, take it, what's there, having more money must be a good thing for herself, it's a big deal to make money in the future and return it to him.

At that moment, Mu Qiange calmly took the silver taels that Prince Su Xiaonuan had been, and looked up at Xia'er again......

At this time, Prince Su Xiaonuan, who was on the side, also saw the meaning revealed in Mu Qiange's eyes, he was in love with Xia'er in his house!

But Xia'er was trained by herself, and she would never give it to Mu Qiange, I saw Prince Su Xiaonuan walking quickly in front of Mu Qiange to block her sight, and then coughed lightly twice and said: "Lord Ning Xia'er has already danced for you, but she is just arranged by this prince to help the fun, Lord Ning, you don't want to be strong." ”

Mu Qiange looked at Prince Su Xiaonuan, thinking that he had already invited himself to dinner and gave it away. Two hundred taels of silver, if you are asking for a woman in someone else's house, you really can't say it.

At that moment, Mu Qiange hurriedly stood up from the chair and said respectfully to Prince Su Xiaonuan: "I just looked at Miss Xia'er just now, and I didn't think about it, the prince treated Mu Qiange warmly tonight, I must keep in mind that when the prince is useful to Mu Qiange in the future, Mu Qiange will repay him." ”

Prince Su Xiaonuan put on the plain face he was wearing, nodded at Mu Qiange with satisfaction, a touch of smugness flashed in his eyes, and then said slowly to Mu Qiange: "Lord Ning, I heard, you went to the Warden Department today to investigate the case of assassinating the emperor?" ”

Mu Qiange couldn't help but have a question when he heard Prince Su Xiaonuan say this, not long after he went to the Warden Department in the afternoon, the news spread so fast, and the capital was really full of walls that were permeable on all sides.

Then Mu Qiange smiled at Prince Su Xiaonuan, and then said: "That's right, in the afternoon, Lord Ben went to the prison department to investigate the attack on the emperor, but Youxiang refused to admit it, I want to detain him for a while first, and during this time I will start from other aspects." ”

Prince Su Xiaonuan moved his body again, smiled at Mu Qiange and said: "I don't think this case is so easy to investigate, I also believe that You Xiang does not have the courage and ability to assassinate the emperor, if there is definitely a mastermind behind the scenes, this case is quite complicated, and the water is very deep." ”

Hearing this, Mu Qiange was silent for a while, and then said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "No matter how deep or shallow I am in this case, I will try my best to definitely live up to Su Xiaohuang's trust in Ning." ”

After Prince Su Xiaonuan heard Mu Qiange say this, he couldn't help but look him up and down carefully, and then said to Mu Qiange with a smile: "Very good, I appreciate you for having this responsibility, I am in Lord Jingning for a glass of wine, and I will help Lord Ning solve this case as soon as possible." After that, Wu Qi poured another glass of wine from the table and saluted Mu Qiange.

Mu Qiange also poured himself a cup and looked at Prince Su Xiaonuan, and the two drank it all at the same time.

Then Mu Qiange looked at the sky outside the house that was gradually darkening, and then said to Su Xiaonuan: "It's late today, there are still many things waiting for me to deal with in my new Ning Mansion, and Prince Su Xiaonuan can also go to my mansion another day." ”

Prince Su Xiaonuan didn't keep him, but just gestured to Mu Qiange and said, "Lord Ning is invited, come here, send off the guest for Prince Ben." ”

Mu Qiange walked quickly to Prince Su Xiaonuan's mansion, and then was sent to his carriage at the door, and the silver two were put into a red cloth bag, which was picked up by Mu Qiange and placed on the horse.

On the way, Mu Qiange asked the coachman from the room on the carriage, "This uncle, what is your name?" The coachman replied in a deep voice: "Lord Ning, the villain's surname is Zhang, and his name is De." ”
