At dinner, I was unusually quiet, just eating with my head bored, my father and mother were both dignitaries in the court, and any disturbance in the palace could not hide from their eyes, but none of them asked me, I think it must be because they trusted me and knew that I was capable of resolving this crisis. However, my brother's actions are a bit unpredictable to me, and in his capacity, it should not be difficult to find out why His Majesty summoned me today, he is a straight man, and it is impossible to be full of questions and not say it.

After dinner, we each walked out of the living room. On the way, I grabbed my brother and looked coquettish, "Brother, aren't you curious why you chose Sinanbo's daughter?" ”

My brother's eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of his mouth rose, revealing a resolute smile, "It doesn't matter who the candidate is, as long as it's not you." ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Brother, are you sure to redeem the holy will?" ”

The elder brother sighed deeply, looked at the begonia tree in the distance, and looked at it for a long time, as if he wanted to see through there, "I may not be enough myself, but with the king of Dingbei, it is enough." ”

"King Dingbei? He also knows about this? ”

"Any secret in the palace is actually not called real secret, there will be many sources of information." The elder brother's tone became solemn, "Your Majesty has been suspicious in recent years, but in fact, these doorways are nothing more than a means of self-preservation. ”

"Then Yuan Hao is willing to invite me a card?"

"He is obligated to do both public and private." The elder brother breathed a sigh of relief, "Yu Gong, you are the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenguo, the only sister of my General Weiyuan, whoever marries you is the relative of this side; Yu Zhi, you are the sister of his good brother, and he also has some personal relations with you, so with Yuan Hao's temperament, he will never sit idly by. ”

I squeezed my eyebrows, pursed my lips, and smiled, "My identity is so important!" Suddenly, I remembered that I was going to go south with Shang Jinming tomorrow to handle the case, and I forgot to ask my parents for leave, so I hurriedly greeted my brother, "Brother, I have to go to the door tomorrow, official." ”

My brother nodded, he knew that some of my errands in front of His Majesty were secret, so he didn't ask more.

We also enjoyed the newly planted jade sea flowers in the garden, which was a rare variety of tribute from the East China Sea last year, His Majesty specially rewarded his mother, and the mother ordered the gardener to plant them in the small garden.

The next morning, when I had finished washing, I was still dressed in men's clothes, a purple robe embroidered with green stripes, and a cream white placket with a shiny silk surface. The robe was turned upside down and tucked into the white jade belt around his waist, and white deerskin boots were worn on his feet to facilitate horseback riding. The jet-black hair is combed in a neat bun on the top of the head, set in a delicate white jade crown, and the pale green silk crown band hangs from both sides of the jade crown, and a hundred flowing knots are tied on the lower forehead, like a handsome man, which makes people shine.

The little slave in the backyard has already helped me lead the horse and wait outside the front yard. I hurried two steps, and just out of the front yard, I saw that Shang Jinming had been waiting for a long time. a smooth and fair face, revealing an angular cold hand; dark and deep eyes, glowing with a charming color; The thick eyebrows, the tall nose, and the beautiful shape of the lips all exude nobility and elegance, and I quickly retracted my eyes, walked forward slowly, and bowed to salute, as if a little teasing.

His eyes were still cold and piercing, knowing that I was deliberately teasing, he ignored it, frowned, and glanced to the other side, "Why is it so late, I'm afraid I won't be able to rest in time for the inn tonight." ”

Without saying a word, I got on my horse, waved my whip with my right hand, and rushed out of the street without looking back.

Shang Jinming had won the first place in the martial arts test twice before, and he was very skilled, and he quickly caught up in a moment.

"All the way south, there may be eyeliner all over the place, you and I need to disguise ourselves and change our identities so as not to expose our whereabouts." He hurried up and said disdainfully at me.

After a while, we passed by an inn called "Yufeng Lou", and he motioned for me to go in and have a bite to eat.

As soon as he arrived at the store, a shopkeeper dressed in coarse linen stepped forward, took the horse bolt diligently, and walked to the backyard.

Shang Jinming did not rush into the store, but stopped, stood outside the door and looked around before slowly entering.

As soon as we entered the store, a fat-headed and big-eared little boy greeted us with a smile on his face as if he was about to squeeze out water, and beckoned us to sit at a square table in the inner corner of the west side of the store. Then, another junior brought a plate of melon seeds, a plate of candied fruit and a pot of tea. "Two guest officers, what to eat? The most famous simmered silver carp in our shop, would you like to try it? The skin is crispy and the meat is tender, and most importantly, there are no thorns! ”

"No thorns? You don't have to bother! I asked, wide-eyed.

"Yo, the guest officer doesn't know, our Xinxia Town is located at the mouth of the river, every spring there are flocks of silver carp to spawn here, just come to watch the scenery of countless people, our small shop is also quite famous, many dignitaries and nobles come here to taste the most famous simmered silver carp in the store, we are troublesome, where is worthy of those dignitaries, isn't it?" The fat-headed and big-eared Xiao Er replied with a smile on his face.

Jin Ming's face was full of disdain, he glanced at me, and waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, come one, serve two more dishes, quickly." ”

I pretended to be a little girl, and pulled his sleeve coquettishly, "Are you still in such a hurry to eat?" ”

I saw him glaring at me vigorously, "I really don't know why His Majesty assigned you to work with me to handle the case?" Although his eyes were like sharp swords, his tone softened slightly.

After a while, the shopkeeper came upstairs with a plate of simmered silver carp, a plate of braised pork, a plate of green vegetables and two bowls of rice, just put it on the table, I took a pair of bamboo chopsticks from the chopsticks tube, wiped it twice on the sleeve, took the rice bowl and pulled it into the mouth, occasionally carrying the chopsticks like the wind, and took several mouthfuls of dishes in a row, and ate it wolf, and couldn't raise its head for a while, but did not forget to give a thumbs up, and praised vaguely: "This fish is delicious!" ”

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, I'm afraid that such a famous store has never seen such a rude nobleman. After all, he has seen some of the world, the little second hurriedly came back to his senses and said with a smile, "That's it, the chef in this store is not an ordinary person, that is the imperial chef in the palace in the early years!" ”

Jin Ming didn't make a sound for a long time, and when I looked up again, his cheeks were already turning red at the moment, and his cheeks were bulging with anger, which added a bit of cuteness.

"Eat, if you don't eat it again, I'll eat it all, it's delicious." I deliberately him off.

"Do you eat like this in the Hou Mansion on weekdays?"

"Naturally not, the house has to be detained, but I grew up in Wuyuan Mountain since I was a child, and my brothers have always eaten by grabbing, and if it is slow, there is no food, and I have to wash the dishes."

He was stunned, there seemed to be a flash in his eyes, he slowly took out the pair of chopsticks from the chopstick holder, took the teapot and went down the top of the chopsticks, scalded the chopsticks, and then also picked up a piece of simmered fish and put it in his mouth. "You eat so fast, go to the street to buy a daughter's outfit after eating, you and I disguise ourselves as husband and wife."
