Mai Jiu's cat waist shuttled through the crowd, everyone ate and toasted, and Mai Jiu picked the rich lady who ate elegantly and wiped her mouth.

"Ma'am, remember me?" Mai Jiu pounced on one by one, and a woman who was holding a handkerchief to cover her mouth and looked at her father-in-law with a faint smile.

The woman was startled, took off her handkerchief and looked up at her hand, her eyes moved up to Mai Jiu, who was smiling with her teeth bared.

She hurriedly got up and wanted to salute, but was stopped by Mai Jiu: "It's okay, it's okay, you know who I am, right?" ”

The woman who asked this question was stunned for a moment, and Mu Ne replied, "You are Princess Jin.."

Mai Jiu's tone was pleasant: "That's easy, I just came to talk about the old days when I saw that you were familiar with your face, Madam." ”

The woman frowned: "You catch up with me... But the courtiers have only met you once, and when you were young. ”

"It's just that I am in this vast sea of people today, at first glance, I feel that you are the most elegant and dignified, you are looking at your dark blue robe to set off your complexion, which is particularly fair, and a plum blossom white hosta on your head, looking simple but invisibly adding a cloud-like aura."

Madame blushed at praise, and one of her hands was grasped while the other was already covering her mouth and snickering.

"But—" Mai Jiu shook his head.

When the woman heard this, she quickly turned back and asked, "But what is it?" ”

"Although you are well maintained, the years have left a lot of marks on your face." Mai Jiu shook his head as he spoke, regretfully.

The woman hurriedly touched her face, touched the corner of her eye and replied, "Yes, yes, there is no way to reach the age." After speaking, he lowered his head and sighed.

Mai Jiu let go of the woman's hand and took out a small box from her waist, and said while unscrewing it, "This thing, but I inquired from the Queen Mother, you see that the Queen Mother's charm is still there, and she is graceful and luxurious, so she uses this." ”

When she heard that the Queen Mother was interested, she pulled her neck and looked at it.

After Mai Jiu opened the porcelain box, she showed the woman the white paste inside, she gently took a little bit of the cat's waist and put it in the woman's ear and said, "These, I still specially found them, I won't give them more, if it weren't for your good face today, I would have hidden it myself." ”

The woman nodded as she listened, Mai Jiu straightened up and evenly smeared the paste on her hand on the corners of the woman's eyes, and for a moment the frown in the corners of the woman's eyes disappeared.

Mai Jiu took out a small bronze mirror from his sleeve and handed it to the woman, the woman looked left and right, and touched the corner of her eyes in surprise: "Oh my God, is it really so amazing?" ”

Mai Jiu was proud: "That's nature." ”

The woman put down the bronze mirror and looked at the porcelain box in Mai Jiu's hand and asked, "Where can I find such a good thing, can you sell this one to me?" ”

Mai Jiu heard this and hurriedly closed the lid: "These are all good things, how can I sell them if I finally found them." ”

Mai Jiu looked at the woman's dim gaze and continued: "But, ah, I know the channel of this thing, you can try it and see if you can ask for it." ”

The woman's eyes were suddenly filled with light, and she hurriedly asked, "Princess, please tell the courtiers." ”

Mai Jiu opened the lid again, dipped a little paste, smeared the other corner of the woman's eye, and said while wiping, "This thing was found in Yudaiqiao Street, the beauty shop, the boss is the end of the Hui Skeleton Pie, the craftsmanship is unique, you go and say that I recommended it, and you will definitely be able to find one." ”

After Mai Jiu finished wiping, he straightened up and continued, "But I have to say it quietly, it won't be good if I let others know, I'm afraid the gate of our palace will be broken." ”

The woman nodded vigorously: "The courtiers will definitely go." ”

Seeing that the business was successful, Mai Jiu screwed the lid of the porcelain and planned to find the next target.

"Then I'll take my leave." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

The woman hurriedly said, "Princess, go slowly." ”

Lord Wang, who had been observing the two of them, saw the princess leave and hurriedly asked his wife: "When did you become so familiar with the princess?" ”

The woman smiled: "Maybe I'm too eye-catching." ”

Mai Jiu ran away, afraid that the woman just now would see her and give it to others again.

A pair of women not far away came into Mai Jiu's sight, a middle-aged man dressed in silk and satin, drinking wine with people while continuing to play with the cat's eye kodama in his hand.

The woman next to her was also wearing gold and silver, with an emerald around her neck, a jade bracelet on her wrist, and a gold hairpin inlaid with agate on her head.

It's still the same set of rhetoric just now, if you don't know, you have to pretend to know, Mai Jiu praised the woman and was about to go to heaven.

I don't know when Sang Huai'an stood behind Mai Jiu and looked at her silently.

Lord Yang, who had been listening carefully to the side, first saw the prince and stood up, and then his wife.

The two saluted and said, "Lord." ”

Mai Jiu just stood straight and didn't dare to look back, she felt a chill behind her, and she turned around and wanted to escape.

Before he left, he was pulled back by the collar by his neck.

Sang Huai'an let go of his neck, grabbed Mai Jiu's hand, and imprisoned her beside him.

He looked at the person in front of him and said, "Lord Yang, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

Lord Yang hurriedly clenched his fists and replied, "Lord Wang, you are still so heroic and sassy, and your spirit is magnificent. ”

Mai Jiu twisted his hand to break free, but he was held tighter.

"Did Lord Yang submit his resignation in recent days?"

"Yes, the lower officials are too old to work for the court anymore, so they will go home to spend their old age in peace."

Sang Huaian hummed softly, his expression still cold.

"The king took his leave." After speaking, he turned around and took Mai Jiu's hand and walked forward.

Mai Jiu hurriedly said to the woman, "Yudaiqiao Street, beauty shop, you must go." ”

Lord Yang and the two saluted together.

Sang Huaian pulled Mai Jiu straight to the backyard and threw Mai Jiu onto the stone table.

Mai Jiu was hurt and clutched his stomach, snorting.

Sang Huai'an said in a stern tone: "Open a shop? Open a shop! ”

Mai Jiu straightened up, turned his head and replied, "Didn't you agree to open a shop for me?" ”

"I..."

Thinking about it like this, Sang Huai'an did agree, he was speechless for a while, he thought that the person in front of him must rely on him to open a shop, but he didn't think that this person had finished everything by himself and didn't ask him for help.

Mai Jiu dusted off his clothes and said angrily, "What kind of crazy are you smoking?" ”

Sang Huai'an calmed down, he pressed his head, the day and night of rushing made him feel a little bad, and the case that had been investigated for almost half a month did not find any clues, and now he is a little irritable.

Mai Jiu saw the expressions of the people in front of her, and her tone softened, and she said softly, "You really hurt me just now." ”

"The king didn't mean to."

He knew that he had sprinkled his anger on the person in front of him, and now he felt a little guilty.

Mai Jiu took a few steps forward and walked in front of Sang Huai'an, patted him on the shoulder, and Mai Jiu sensed that something was wrong when he first saw Sang Huai'an.

"What's wrong? Is it because the case is not going well? ”

Sang Huai'an nodded.

Mai Jiu got into Sang Huai'an's chest, hugged Sang Huai'an gently, and put his ear to his chest, and said softly: "I know that you must be under a lot of pressure now, it doesn't matter, the truth will eventually come out, and the bad guys will get the retribution they deserve." ”

Sang Hua'an put down the hand covering his head and hugged Mai Jiu, and he rested his chin on the head of the person in his arms: "If you can, this king doesn't want to be the prince, this king would rather be a country man, and live that life with you at sunrise and sunset." ”

Mai Jiuyi smiled: "There is no wild man in the countryside who is as handsome as you and has such a good temperament." ”

Sang Huai'an also laughed when he heard this, and he touched Mai Jiu's head dotingly: "The birthday banquet should be almost over, this king is a little tired and wants to go home." ”

Mai Jiu nodded.

The two chatted with Gu Jiazhuang and Gu Cheng for a while, and Mai Jiu also had a fight with the Gu family brothers and sisters, and then planned to leave.

When I walked to the door, I happened to meet Lord Yang and his wife again, and the woman greeted Mai Jiu warmly, thinking that she had a relationship with the princess and princess, and was eager to consolidate it.

Mai Jiugang raised his smile and was about to say hello, but was stopped by Sang Huai'an beside him.

Sang Huai'an pulled Mai Jiu forward and said, "Lord Yang, the birthday banquet is not completely over, you should leave first." ”

Lord Yang saluted: "Aren't you, Lord Wang?" ”

"This king is a little tired and wants to go home as soon as possible."

"Then the prince, you go slowly."

Sang Huai'an didn't pay attention, he pulled Mai Jiu towards the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Lord Yang and the two followed behind him and walked towards the gate together.

The carriage outside the door was already ready, Sang Huai'an stepped into the carriage with his feet raised, and Mai Jiu followed closely.

only heard a "whoosh" sound, something flew from Sang Huai'an and the two and rushed straight behind him, Sang Huai'an noticed the abnormality, he quickly jumped out of the carriage and pulled Mai Jiu to hide behind the carriage.

Mai Jiu looked up, and a silver needle was inserted into Lord Yang's forehead, leaving blood outside, and Mrs. Yang next to her hurriedly checked it.

Lord Yang didn't dare to move his eyes to look up, and there was another "whoosh", and a silver needle was inserted straight into Mrs. Yang's neck.

Mrs. Yang touched her neck, and when she touched a cool silver needle, she screamed in fright.

Sang Huai'an shouted loudly: "There is an ambush! ”

Mai Jiuleng looked at Lord Yang and the two, at this time, Lord Yang slowly sat on the ground with seven orifices bleeding, convulsions, and Mrs. Yang spurted out a mouthful of blood, took a few steps back, leaned on the threshold and slipped down.

This scene was really miserable, Sang Huai'an took Mai Jiu into his arms and covered her eyes, Mai Jiu was so frightened that his body stiffened.

A secret guard came to report: "Lord Wang, I have already sent someone to chase after me when I noticed the abnormality, but I couldn't find anyone when I ran into Suzaku Street." ”

Sang Huai'an hugged Mai Jiu very tightly, he turned around and said, "Send the princesses back to the palace." After speaking, he pushed Mai Jiu and let her get into the carriage.

Mai Jiu turned his head to look, but was stopped by Sang Huai'an: "Don't look back." After speaking, he vigorously pushed Mai Jiu into the carriage.

"Quick, go back to the palace, if anything happens on the road, don't pay attention, someone will protect you." Sang Huai'an instructed the coachman.

Sang Huai'an looked back, and Lord Yang and his wife were wide-eyed, not blinding.
