"That's just the way it is." Su Nian lowered his head and stroked the long tassel on his waist, "It's not early, Your Highness, please go back, I have to go to court tomorrow." ”

"Angry?" Seeing her like this, Xiao Yongqing smiled instead, "You never called me Your Highness before." ”

Seeing that Su Nian didn't answer the call and saluted but didn't get up, thinking that his decision to chase away the guest had been decided, Xiao Yongqing couldn't stay any longer.

Out of the courtyard gate of the Orchid Courtyard, he turned his head, his eyes full of helplessness and worry.

"Your Highness, rest assured, our family has arranged reliable manpower in Zhuyuan, and we will not let Su Niangniang be wronged." Changfeng knew the prince's temperament, and had already made arrangements.

"You go to the Zhenguo General's Mansion tomorrow and talk to your grandmother, let Sequoia come back early." Xiao Yongqing was still a little worried.

Hearing this, Changfeng hesitated: "Is Your Highness too worried?" ”

"It's not just because of Zhu Yuan." Xiao Yongqing shook his head, "It's an eventful time at this time, and with Sequoia by Nian'er's side, this palace can be more reassured." ”

A few hours ago, Guangzhengfang.

As the sun sets on the long street, smoke rises from the front of every house, forming a mist that lingers in the air for a long time.

Huai was drunk lying on his back on the roof, his arms wrapped around his head.

The setting sun always evokes sentimentality, and he sniffed, jumped off the roof, and kicked a pebble far away with his foot.

The stone flew out and smashed on Luo San, who was pouting his ass and lying on the stove.

Luo San screamed, turned his head scolding, and immediately put on a smiling face when he saw that he was drunk: Thief, what do you command? ”

"What are you busy with? I've been tossing and turning for most of the day. ”

Luo San scratched his head and said with a smile: "I thought that the horses here are also going to enter winter, so I have to let the brothers eat something hot, right?" ”

Huai Zui touched the firewood and charcoal fire stacked in the corner, and praised: "Yo, the quality is good, where do you want it?" ”

"Look at what you said, how can any official master give these to us." Luo San wiped his gray hands on his clothes, "I bought it." ”

"Where did you get the money?" Huai was drunk and suspicious.

"Don't you know?" Luo San scratched his head, "The prince's wedding, the Zhenguo General's Mansion set up a porridge shop outside the East City Gate, and at the same time, the Xiangguo Mansion also set up a shop at the West City Gate, but it was a gold leaf." ”

Huai Zui said in surprise: "Xiangguo Mansion is the face of the general's mansion, and there is no reaction from the general's mansion?" ”

"Who knows? Anyway, for us, as long as we can fill our stomachs without freezing, it doesn't matter which family sends the money and food. "It's better to have such good things every day! Luo Sanmei thought to herself.

But Huai Zui didn't think so, in his opinion, this matter was too unbelievable. The younger sister of the general of Zhenguo is the biological mother of the prince, and the eldest daughter of Xiangguo is the current queen. Besides, isn't sweeping the prince's face also embarrassing His Majesty, why is Xiangguo so reckless?

Huai Zui was thinking about it, and the little beggar Maomao waved her hands and ran over to Luo San excitedly: "Third uncle, I saw it!" I saw it! ”

"Brother Thief is good." Seeing Huai drunk, Mao Mao stood still and shouted obediently. She grabbed the corner of Luo San's clothes and asked expectantly, "Will Mao Mao be able to wear such beautiful clothes in the future?" ”

Luo San put down the wood in his hand, wiped his hands on his body, picked her up and asked dotingly, "What did Mao Mao see today?" ”

Mao Mao raised his hand and pointed not far away and said, "There's a new blue-haired big sister there, she looks good." ”

Luo San's face changed: "Maomao is not allowed to go there in the future, do you hear?" ”

"Huh? Why? ”

Yuxianglou is the first of the new line. Huai Zui looked at the two-story building and thought, he made a grimace at Mao Mao: "Mao Mao, you have to listen to your third uncle, if you are caught by the people there, you will never see us again." ”

"Do you have any nice clothes to wear?" Mao Mao raised her face and asked innocently.

"Maomao just thinks about beautiful clothes." Huai Zui pinched Mao Mao's little face, "In this case, as long as Mao Mao is obedient and doesn't get close there, I'll give you a new set of clothes, okay?" ”

"Hmm!" Mao Mao nodded seriously.

After finally coaxing Mao Mao, the little girl, Huai Zui looked at Yuxianglou and pondered for a while, Mao Mao's description of the new head made him a little concerned.

He walked along the long street to the end, and after another corner, the porch in front of him was the gate of the West Market.

When I entered the West Market, I saw an attic covered in red and hung colors, and the plaque hanging in the middle was written "Yuxiang Building" with three big characters of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing.

"Oh, my honorable guest, isn't this our Lord Thief!" Gu's mother in Yuxianglou shook the beauty fan and walked over with her no longer slender waist.

Huai Zui glanced at the graceful dancing girl who was spinning at the door, and said to Gu's mother: "Fairy Gu, you look good today." ”

Gu's mother hid her face and said with a smile: "Adults, don't make fun of the slave family, let's keep these words and talk to the girls." After speaking, she led Huai into a private room on the second floor.

"Come on, come on, look at this one, this is our skill, how delicate this little face is. Look at this one, Sango, singing that is a must. And this ......"

The women dressed in fancy clothes stood in a row waiting to be selected, and when the drunken gaze swept over them, some were shy and evasive, and some seduced and flirtatious.

Huai Zui took out a silver ingot and threw it to Gu's mother, and said, "Fairy Gu, I won't be polite to you anymore, is there a new head of the line today?" ”

"Yo, Lord Thief is really well-informed, so let's follow the old rules." Gu's mother handed Huai Zui a set of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and then turned around and waved to the row of women, "I don't have the eyesight to see it, why are you still doing here, didn't you see that the thief master is also from Chong Zhuanniang?" It's all gone. ”

"It seems that this new head of the line called Zhuan Niang is very popular." Huai drunk thought for a moment, picked up the pen and wrote a few lines of poetry, "I wonder if Huai will have the honor to be her guest today?" ”

After Gu's mother waited for the ink to dry, she folded the paper and put it on the plate and withdrew: "Then I wish Lord Thief a smooth victory." ”

Huai Zui sat on the railing with the flask in his arms and drank alone, his attention was attracted by the light and moving dance of the dancing girl in the lobby, and he did not notice that a pair of eyes were watching him.

"Wei Ran, what do you think I should do next?" In front of the owner of those eyes was a chessboard of the sub-endgame, dressed in white, but his face was hidden in the darkness.

The person known as Wei Ran stepped forward and glanced at the chessboard, and said: "At this time, Baizi seems to have the upper hand, but Heizi is not without a chance to turn the tide into victory, and the success or failure of this game will all depend on the next step." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should go to court tomorrow, right?" The man in white suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

"What do you mean?"

The man in white raised his head in the direction of Huai Zui, picked up a black spot and put it in Wei Ran's hand: "Next, it's up to you to get this down." ”
