Chapter Thirty-Seven: Overheard Secrets
"Such a precious object, it must not have been given to you by your wife, right?" Xuan Wuye sat down gracefully opposite Chu Ye.
Chu Ye only glanced at Xuan Wuye lightly, and was just about to pour a cup of tea, but was stopped by Xuan Wuye with a fan and said, "Drinking tea at night, you really don't want to sleep tonight?" ”
Seeing that Chu Ye's face was not very good, Xuan Wuye said again: "I heard from the guards, you had a big quarrel with Mrs. Ling this afternoon, and you grounded her?" ”
Chu Ye looked at him with a hanging brow, "As soon as she was unhappy, she said that she was leaving, what else could this king do except to ground her?" ”
"You're not going to coax her?"
Chu Ye stared at Xuan Wuye for a while, looking at his expression, he obviously didn't expect this layer.
"This king won't."
"No, you can ask Ben Gongzi! Women have to be coaxed, especially the women they like! You coax her, and when she is happy and moved, she is reluctant to leave you? Besides, in front of the woman you like, you have to change your style as a prince, don't order this and that at every turn, and be grounded! She is your woman, not your daughter, and not your servant. ”
Xuan Wuye's face hated iron and steel.
"Although this son has only met Mrs. Ling twice, he can vaguely know from the description of her by others that she is a stubborn person, soft on the surface, and stubborn in heart. You've spent a lot of time with her, don't you know that? Okay, she dares to have a showdown with you now and says she's leaving, I think you can't stay! ”
Listening to Xuan Wuye's words, Chu Ye felt a little nervous in his heart, but he was quickly suppressed by him again.
"With guards guarding outside the palace day and night, she can't escape from the palm of this king's hand."
Xuan Wuye looked at him, "Okay, your woman, whatever you want!" ”
He straightened up, "I've come to you this time because I have a big deal about you. ”
Seeing that his face became serious, Chu Ye also became serious, "Say." ”
"It turns out that the wick of the Qinglong Xuandi lamp has two strands."
"What do you mean?"
Xuan Wuye brushed his words and said: "This time, I searched all the way, searched all the way, and finally I found that ancient family, the Qin family. ”
"Qin clan?" Chu Ye's eyes flashed with surprise, "You mean...... The Qin clan that guards the daughter of the heavenly omen? ”
"That's right! I sneaked into the Qin clan and overheard a secret - there are two wicks of the Qinglong Xuandi Lamp, one is in the Yun Kingdom, and now it is being used by the Emperor of the Yun Kingdom to live as the emperor, and the other is hidden in the Qin Clan. This is the reason why the queen of Yunguo got this magic lamp to continue her life, but she couldn't wake up. ”
"Because there's one less wick...... Therefore, in order to bring the dead back to life, two wicks must be twisted into one. Chu Ye said.
Xuan Wuye nodded, "This time I came to the Imperial City, but in fact, I followed the people of the Qin clan all the way here. The kid named Qin Zhi who was rescued by Mrs. Ling on the streets of the Imperial City, as long as you send someone to keep an eye on him, you will definitely be able to follow him to find the daughter of Tianzhao. ”
After being stunned for a few seconds, a rare smile appeared in Chu Ye's eyes, "Heaven helps this king." ”
……
The next day, the entire Yinwang Mansion began to get busy, hanging colors, and building sheds.
Hao Wuxuan made a list and handed it to Jin Ling, asked Jin Ling to entrust it to the dining room to buy, and then stayed quietly in his palace and practiced calligraphy all day.
Tomorrow is a good time.
On Chu Ye's birthday, there must have been a lot of people who came to congratulate her, and according to common sense, some of the guards who patrolled outside her palace would definitely be sent to maintain order.
With fewer guards in the temple, she had a chance to slip out.
She was slightly sluggish.
However, with Chu Ye's shrewdness, he must have expected that she would find an opportunity to slip away on his birthday, and his vigilance against her might not be reduced.
But Chu Ye has a little bit of this, he can't help others to please and show weakness, for example, the last time she was chased and killed by a black-robed man, he was so angry after he saved her, didn't she let him be angry with just a few words?
So if you want to really leave the Yinwang Mansion this time, you must first please him, be soft, and make him relax his vigilance.
In the evening, Jin Ling went to the dining room and returned to the palace and said, "Miss, you have bought everything you want to buy, what should you do next?" ”
"Sleep!"
"Huh?"
……
In the early morning of the next day, Hao Wuxuan got up as soon as the fifth watch arrived, and followed by the guards, he and Jin Ling came to the dining room of the palace.
Jin Ling lit the lanterns in every corner of the dining room, and the entire dining room was brightly lit, and then began to give her a hand under Hao Wuxuan's instructions.
After a busy day until the beginning of the morning, a 18-inch x 16-inch x 14-inch three-tier birthday cake was finally completed.
Jin Ling stared at the beautiful and delicious cake greedily, and her expression was full of amazement, "Miss, the slave never knew that you would make such a novel food, what do you call it?" ”
"Birthday cake!" Hao Wuxuan scooped a small spoonful of the remaining cream into Jin Ling's mouth.
Jin Ling tasted it and was overjoyed, "Miss, it's fragrant and sweet, it melts in your mouth, it's so delicious!" ”
Hao Wu smiled extravagantly and brought a small piece of cake to her, "Well, Miss Ben made tiramisu for you!" ”
"Thank you, Miss!" Jin Ling salivated and looked at the cream and said, "Miss, if you don't want this cream, can you give it to the slave?" ”
"Take it, take it! But you have to take it easy, it's easy to gain weight if you eat too much! ”
"Slaves are not afraid!"
After speaking, Jin Ling took it aside to eat, and Hao Wuxuan continued to cut some fruit to decorate the cake.
Eventually, she circled the cake, said "Perfect" to satisfaction, and called it a day.
At the door of the dining room, a guard entered the door and saluted: "Princess Niangniang, the prince asked his subordinates to invite you to the front hall to receive guests." ”
After the guard finished speaking, he shouted "come in" to the door, and several maids walked in with a set of banquet costumes and gold and jade jewelry.
"I heard that your side concubine has been lifted?" She asked.
"At this time, the side concubine Niangniang is already waiting in the front hall to greet the guests with the prince." The guard said.
Hao Wu raised her eyebrows, "I'm a person who can't be polite, it's not suitable for this kind of occasion, since she went, just right, I don't have to go." Jin Ling, go back to the palace! ”
Jin Ling wiped her mouth and hurriedly kept up with her master's pace.
"Princess!" The guards looked embarrassed, you know, the princess avoided the prince's birthday banquet, how angry the prince should be, others will see it, they will definitely think that the princess does not care about the prince's face and does not put the prince in her eyes.
Hao Wuxuan seemed to see through his thoughts, paused and said, "Do you think I don't give face to your prince?" ”
"My subordinates don't."
"You have."
Hao Wuxuan's eyes revealed a hint of scrutiny, "Don't say that your prince won't care about other people's gossip, since my princess married into the palace, in the eyes of outsiders, she has always been untreated by your prince, and the side concubine will replace the concubine to greet guests, and it is not your prince who has no face, it is me." So your worries are unnecessary. In addition, your prince sent a banquet dress to Linxi Hall yesterday, but he only came to inform me this morning, do you think he did it on purpose or intentionally? ”
