Chapter 15: The disguised guards accompany them all the way

Li Song had just returned home from the palace in the early morning, and someone came to report that Mrs. Rou had composed a new piano song and wanted to invite the prince to give some guidance, Li Song smiled meaningfully, turned his head and walked towards Mrs. Rou's courtyard.

Mrs. Rou was dressed in red, sitting at the desk, her slender jade hand gently plucked the piano Xuan, the sound of the piano was gentle and long, and when you listen carefully, this song is also mixed with a lingering sense of compassion.

Li Song stopped outside the door and listened for a while, Mrs. Rou's piano skills were also famous in Kyoto City, but since she entered King Mu's mansion, she has played the piano a lot less.

Li Song raised his feet and entered the room, and when he saw Mrs. Rou's bright and dazzling red clothes, his brows frowned slightly, this red dress reminded him of the scene when he first saw Ning Qingyue.

At that time, Ning Qingyue had just married into King Mu's mansion, but Li Song did not have a good life with her, let alone a cave room, but that night Li Song pretended to be an assassin and entered the inner room, and what he saw was a woman in a red wedding dress sitting at the table, gobbling up snacks.

Now, Li Song saw that Mrs. Rou was wearing a red dress and a very delicate makeup, Li Song felt that if he hadn't seen Ning Qingyue's various delicate makeup, as well as her unpowdered appearance, Mrs. Rou would indeed be a beauty, but this beauty was compared to his little princess...... No, this beauty is not worthy of comparing with his little princess at all.

While playing the piano, Mrs. Rou looked at Li Song, who had just come in at the door, and suddenly a gentle smile crossed her face and stopped.

Li Song walked to the side, found a stool, and sat down casually: "Rou'er's piano skills have grown a lot. ”

Mrs. Rou got up and walked to him, blessed her body softly, and said, "Lord Wan'an." ”

Li Song stretched out his hand and grabbed Mrs. Rou's wrist, and dragged her into his arms with a force: "I haven't seen Rou'er for a few days, but when I see this king today, I suddenly feel like I have seen the fairy who came out of the painting." ”

Mrs. Rou lowered her head and blushed and said softly: "The concubine remembers that half a year ago, the concubine also wore a red dress and sat upstairs playing the piano. ”

A smile crossed Li Song's eyebrows, but his heart sank slightly: "Yes, I didn't expect that it would be half a year since Rou'er entered the mansion." ”

Mrs. Rou couldn't figure out the meaning of Li Song's words, but she was very confident in what she was dressed today, and she buried her face in Li Song's chest and said: "Lord Wang, you also know that Rou'er has been in the house for half a year, and Rou'er's body has not been very good in the past half a year, and she has not served the prince well. ”

In the face of Mrs. Rou's gesture of embracing and soft-eared words, Li Song's heart crossed a sense of disgust, and suddenly his eyes noticed the corners of Mrs. Rou's eyes, although Mrs. Rou's makeup today is very exquisite, but no matter how delicate the makeup is, it can't hide her true age.

Suddenly, Li Song pretended to be surprised and said, "What is on the corner of Rou'er's eyes?" ”

Mrs. Rou's expression paused slightly, she hurriedly reached out and touched the corners of her eyes, but she was puzzled: "Lord Wang, there is nothing in the corners of the concubine's eyes?" ”

Li Song stared at the corners of her eyes tightly for a long time, and suddenly Li Song said, "Rou'er, how old are you this year, why do you have small lines on the corners of your eyes?" ”

Mrs. Rou's face turned pale, "Concubine...... The concubine is twenty-two years old this year. Mrs. Rou never thought that she was dressed so delicately today, but Li Song only noticed the lines at the corners of her eyes.

Suddenly, Li Song let go of her, stood up on his own, looked at Mrs. Rou and said, "It turns out that Rou'er is twenty-two years old this year, no wonder she has eye wrinkles." ”

Li Song's words poked Mrs. Rou's heart solidly, and Li Song once again mentioned the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and Mrs. Rou was about to bite her tongue and commit suicide.

However, Li Song continued: "You are twenty-three years old, you can't compare with those little girls in the backyard, it's normal to have eye wrinkles, it's just that when you first saw you in red, the king thought you looked good, but now you feel out of place, and the bright color is more suitable for young women to wear, for example, the princess is only fifteen this year, she wore it just right, Rou'er don't wear it like this in the future, this king doesn't like it." ”

Mrs. Rou, who was stimulated by Li Song's words, almost vomited blood and died, but she could only swallow this breath alive, and she had to smile kindly: "What the prince said is that since the prince doesn't like concubines to wear red clothes, concubines will not wear red clothes in the future." ”

Li Song nodded and smiled: "Well, Rou'er has always been the most well-behaved, and this king is very pleased." ”

It's just that at this moment, Mrs. Rou simply broke her teeth and swallowed it in her stomach, but she didn't dare to say anything about her grievances.

"This king still has official business to go back to deal with, so this king will leave first." Li Song said lightly, and Fang raised his feet and walked out of the door.

Mrs. Rou looked at Li Song's departing back, she gritted her teeth and said resentfully: "Ning Qingyue, you little slut, Mrs. Ben will definitely not make you feel better!" ”

Speaking of Ning Qingyue's departure from the house, she sent Lan Wei to the account to get the silver again.

When Lan Wei went to the tent to get the silver, the tent gentleman Xu Shun politely took out another two hundred taels of silver: "Is two hundred taels enough?" ”

Lan Wei was a little embarrassed and said, "Enough is enough, thank you sir." Lan Wei has come to the account room to pay hundreds of taels of silver in the past month, and even she thinks that the princess's expenses are too extravagant.

When she received the money and left, Lan Wei warmly thanked Xu Shun several times, and when she was gone, Xu Shun raised his wrist and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and then he went through the account book and continued to be busy.

The guy who followed Xu Shun on the side was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he had heard a lot of gossip about Ning Qingyue in the past, and immediately the young man asked puzzledly: "Sir, the princess has asked her maid to come over and receive more than six hundred taels of silver this month, and the cost is too great, and the princess is not very favored, even Mrs. Rou, who spends up spending at most a hundred or ten taels of silver a month, if the prince sends someone to check the accounts one day, I am afraid that he will blame Mr." ”

Xu Shun's brows frowned slightly, and he reached out to pick up the abacus and knocked it towards the young man's head: "What is your identity as a princess?" Xu Shun said again, "She is the master mother of our Mu Wangfu, not to mention that she received more than 600 taels of silver a month, even if it is thousands of taels, it is not something we can put on our beak." ”

The young man lowered his head stupidly and let Xu Shun teach him a lesson, but he didn't want Xu Shun to sigh helplessly: "But the princess's courtyard has received too much silver this month, or what you said, I should go to the prince to report it." ”

After Lan Wei took the silver and went back, she went out of the house with Ning Qingyue, Xu Shun took the account book and went to Li Song's study, just as Li Song had just returned from Mrs. Rou, Xu Shun presented the account book and told Ning Qingyue all the money that had been spent in the past few days.

Li Song slowly and leisurely flipped through the account books, and then said coldly: "Didn't this king send someone to tell you before, the princess wants to pay as much silver as she wants, why do you want to report to this king?" ”

Xu Shun stood below with his head bowed, and said respectfully in a humble manner: "The villain has always obeyed the orders of the prince, and the princess sent someone to receive the silver, and the villain also gave the silver, but in the past month, the princess sent someone to receive the silver, and has received more than six hundred taels, this amount is really not small, the villain is worried that if it goes on like this, the cash in the account will soon be emptied by the princess, and the villain is also worried that the prince will blame it, so he came to report to the prince." ”

"Did you receive more than six hundred taels of silver a month?" Li Song asked rhetorically, and Fang said coldly, "How did you become a bookkeeper?" The silver is gone, isn't there still a silver ticket? ”

Xu Shun secretly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, he shouldn't have been wordy with that young man today, otherwise he wouldn't be reprimanded by the prince here in vain now.

Suddenly, Li Song remembered something again, and said: "Silver tickets are not as convenient as cash, you take the silver tickets to the money bank to exchange more cash for preparation, if the princess is short of silver again, you can give her more silver." "Speaking of which, are you Mr. Ledger, or is this king Mr. Ledger?" If you can't do such a thing, what's the use of this king keeping you in this mansion! ”

Xu Shun hurriedly knelt down and said tremblingly: "The villain knows that he is wrong, the princess is the master mother of the palace, and the princess should receive as much silver as she wants!" ”

Li Song smiled coldly, "Your brain is bright now, go back, be smart in the future, don't bother this king with these stupid questions!" ”

Xu Shun stood up tremblingly and was just about to leave, when Li Song suddenly said again: "Slow." Xu Shun's body stiffened, and he listened to Li Song again, "The princess just sent someone to receive silver?" Did her maidservant say she was going to buy something? ”

Xu Shun said: "Back to the prince's words, Miss Lan Wei said that the princess felt a little bored staying in the palace, so she wanted to go out of the palace to go around, so she came to the account room to receive the silver." ”

Suddenly, hearing that Ning Qingyue was going to go out of the mansion, Li Song's gaze froze slightly, and suddenly the corners of his lips hooked, and he said happily: "This king knows, you go back first." ”

After Xu Shun shook his body and left, Li Song glanced at Zhou Dadao and said, "Go out of the house with this king." ”

At the side door of King Mu's mansion, Ning Qingyue led Lan Wei out of the door when she saw two men.

Suddenly, Ning Qingyue's footsteps froze, "Okay...... Good ......"

The word "hero" has not been said completely, but Zhou Daxian hugged his sword and said respectfully: "The prince heard that the princess was going to go out of the mansion, so he specially ordered his subordinates and Li guards to come and protect the princess and accompany him all the way." ”

Ning Qingyue had seen Zhou Da in Li Song's study, and she naturally recognized Zhou Da as King Mu's bodyguard, so the assassin now appeared with Zhou Da, it seemed that he was not lying, he was really the guard of King Mu's mansion.
