"The group of assassins in the prison disappeared overnight, and my cousin was in chaos."

"How so? Did you find out who did it? ”

"My cousin preliminarily concluded that it was the Oblique Rain Building."

"Oblique Rain Building, what is that?"

"Well, it'...... Qingxi, about the Xieyu Building, let's talk about it another day, Uncle Liu is back. ”

As soon as they heard that Uncle Liu was back, the three people in the house all returned to their previous appearance.

"What are you talking about so happily?"

"Uncle Liu's chicken borrowed?"

"Yes, when Lao Li heard that Wu Gongzi was coming, he immediately didn't say a word, and took the chicken away!"

Feeling the simplicity of Uncle Liu, several people in the room smiled, in their respective environments, where would there be such a simple old man.

"Qingxi, Granny Liu's stewed chicken soup is very delicious, you have to taste it later."

Noticing that Wu Qi looked at Fang Qingxi's expression very gently, Yelu Jana quipped.

"Brother Plague is so eccentric, just thinking about letting Qingxi taste it, I don't see you thinking about me!"

"When have I been short of your food?"

Knowing that Yelu Jiena was joking, Wu Bao simply followed suit.

"Haha."

"Huh."

The room was filled with laughter, and it was not until many years later that the third person present still remembered the scene vividly. Especially Qingxi, it is that face that appears repeatedly in her dreams.

★★★★★

On the fourth day of the first month of the tenth year of Wei, the holy decree was issued.

Li Qinhan, the princess of Xiao Jinguo, won the crown of the sixth palace, and poured her heart and soul into the country's exchanges, and I was very gratified. After the special seal, the eldest princess took charge of the harem and entered the palace on the sixth day of the first month of the tenth year of Wei.

Fang Zhiling, the eldest daughter of the national teacher, virtuous and virtuous, empathetic, I am very favored, specially named the concubine, his brother was crowned as a third-grade military general, and his sister was crowned as a third-grade princess, and entered the palace on the seventh day of the first month of the tenth year of Wei.

When the holy decree arrived at the National Teacher's Mansion, he wept for Zhongzhong's joy, and specially ordered Xu Lan to send invitations to the family banquet everywhere.

All the big families in the capital who received the invitations carefully prepared congratulatory gifts, and the Fang Mansion suddenly became the focus of the capital, and the limelight far exceeded that of the Li sisters.

This time the family banquet in the house Fang Weizhong was handed over to Fang Qingxi to take care of it, Fang Qingxi tried her best to refuse at first, but despite Fang Zhiling's repeated persuasion, she had no choice but to accept the matter.

Preparing a banquet is a very headache and tricky, and that night Xu Lan came to Rong Pavilion to discuss the relevant matters of the banquet with Fang Qingxi.

"Second Miss, a total of 312 invitations to this family banquet were given, and there are more than 800 people in addition to the female dependents of various provinces."

"Why are there so many people this time?"

"The eldest lady was named a noble concubine, and the officials of all counties and counties went to the capital to congratulate her."

"With so many people, how does Aunt Xu think they should be placed?"

When she heard that there were more than 800 people at the table, Qingxi had no clue for a while, she had never experienced this kind of scene, let alone handle it single-handedly, and it was undoubtedly the safest way to ask Xu Lan at this time.

"The inner and outer courtyards must be divided, and when the female relatives get together in Yuqiong Pavilion, it is almost the same as preparing a hundred and ten tables. As for the outer courtyard, twenty or thirty tables will be set up in the courtyard of the reception hall, and ten tables will be set up in the hall, and the eldest young master will arrange it properly. ”

"A hundred or so tables is inevitably a bit much, if there are not so many people, wouldn't it be too wasteful?"

Fang Qingxi still agrees with Xu Lan's idea, but there are really more than 100 tables.

"Everyone at this dinner table is talking, how much can they eat? At that time, we will let the kitchen be made with fifty tables first, and it will not be enough to reproduce it. Just ......"

"Just what?"

"It's just that there aren't so many people in the house, I'm afraid I'll have to invite some people to the restaurant."

"Which restaurant does Aunt Xu mean to go to to invite someone?"

As soon as Xu Lan mentioned that there was not enough manpower, Qingxi had a calculation in her heart, and she planned to go to Chen Guo's courtyard to ask some people to help, and by the way, let everyone taste Chen Guo's food. But that is only a drop in the bucket, can not solve the urgent need, to the restaurant to invite someone is the only feasible way.

"One of the best restaurants in the capital is Evian Restaurant, but the chefs there are not easy to invite."

"They don't want to give Fang Mansion's face?"

"How can this face be so easy to give? Miss, do you know whose property is the Evian restaurant? ”

"Who's?"

"His Royal Highness Chengwang."

“……”

Knowing that Evian Restaurant was Wu Zhen's property, Qingxi was a little hesitant, she believed that Wu Zhen would give her this face, but she didn't want to owe him too much.

Xu Lan saw a little hesitation in Qingxi's eyes, and she didn't want to say anything, after all, it was Fang Qingxi's own business, and she didn't want to get involved.

"Aunt Xu, can't other restaurants work? I think the Fuyuan Restaurant is good, and it is close to Fangfu. ”

"The servant went to the Fuyuan Restaurant and asked, and the shopkeeper said that he didn't have enough manpower there, so he really didn't have the spare energy to help us."

"Aunt Xu, leave this matter to me, you set the menu first, and wait for my news."

Now in this situation, Qingxi decided to go to Chengwang's Mansion to talk to Wu Zhen, even if Wu Zhen's character is not good, at least it will not embarrass her, and the family banquet will start tomorrow evening, and she must settle the matter tonight.

"Is the second lady going out?"

"Well, I'll take a trip to King Cheng's mansion, I think the prince will send someone over for my sake, Aunt Xu will go back to the outer courtyard first, and I will send someone to inform you if there is news."

"It's cold outside, Miss Mo is freezing, so the slave will go back first."

After Xu Lan left, Qingxi instructed his subordinates to prepare the car and take Wanxin to Chengwang's mansion.

Qing Xi left Fang Mansion with his front foot, and Wu Zhen got news from his back foot.

The night of the first lunar month was cold, Qin Xiao was ordered by Wu Zhen to wait at the gate of the mansion early, and when Fang Qingxi came, he was directly invited by Qin Xiao to the hall to warm his hands.

"Miss wait here for a while, and Qin will go to invite the prince."

"I'm sorry to trouble Steward Qin."

"No trouble."

After Qin Xiao left, in addition to Qingxi and Wanxin, there were a few maids in the hall, and when they saw the clothes of the maids in the house, Qingxi said in his heart that Wu Zhen was not mean to the maids on weekdays, and there were a lot of things that should be there. Such a master, anyone will follow him with all his heart.

"Miss, please have tea."

The older maid brought a cup of warm tea to Qingxi, and Qingxi took the teacup and looked at her and said:

"How long has the girl been serving in the Chengwang Mansion?"

"The slave maid is Wei Wu's side with the prince."

"Then how does the prince treat you on weekdays?"

"It is naturally good for the prince to treat everyone in the house equally."

Verify what he thinks in his heart, Qingxi lowered his head and drank tea silently, he can treat everyone in the house with his heart, and he will not be bad if he thinks about it, since this is the case, she has nothing to worry about.

Thinking about it, Wu Zhen was already standing beside her, Qing Xi came back to his senses and smiled at Wu Zhen awkwardly, got up and gave a salute.

"Qingxi has seen the prince."

"Sit down."

"Thank you, Lord Wang."

"I don't know what happened to Miss Fang Er's visit to the Chengwang Mansion at night?"

Wu Zhen sat on the main seat, showing the demeanor of the master, Fang Qingxi stabilized his mind and said:

"That's the case, tomorrow the house will hold a family banquet, and there are not enough people in the house, and the housekeeper in the house will invite people to Evian Restaurant, but he will eat behind closed doors. Qingxi heard that Evian Restaurant was the prince's property, so he came to the house to ask the prince for help. ”

"The Molin Inn is the property of His Royal Highness the Prince, and it is close to the Fang Mansion, you should go and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for help."

"The prince doesn't want to help Qingxi with this?"

How could the careful Qingxi not hear the meaning of Wu Zhenfang's words, she thought that he would give her this face, but now it seems that things are becoming more and more difficult. Could it be that she really wants to ask the prince for help? It's just that the palace door has already been locked at this hour, and this method won't work at all.

"It's not that this king doesn't want to help you, it's just that Evian Restaurant has never been responsible for the banquets of large families, and this king can't break the rules because of the second miss. Once the opening is opened, the consequences are unimaginable, the second lady is a smart person, and she will understand the difficulties of this king. ”

"What the prince said is very reasonable, but the Fang Mansion is indeed in trouble now, and I hope that the prince will be accommodating."

Wu Zhen has her own difficulties, Qingxi knows that she can't say anything more, but she still wants to try her best.

"Actually, it's not that the king can't come forward in this matter, it's just ......"

"Just what?"

"It's just that if you want this king to come forward, you have to have a reason that everyone can convince, and this king can't do things for Fang Fu for no reason."

Fang Qingxi, who was originally standing there with a calm expression, turned a little ugly, and after thinking about it, he said:

"The prince doesn't understand what he means."

"Do you really not understand or do you not understand?"

"Is the prince planning to take advantage of people's danger?"

The meaning of Wu Zhen's words was already clear in Qingxi's heart, she would never give Wu Zhen a chance to let him get what he wanted.

"What did Miss Fang Er say about this?"

"If the prince wants a legitimate identity, Qingxi is afraid that it will be difficult to obey his fate."

"Second Miss Fang doesn't seem to understand the meaning of this king's words."

"What do you mean?"

"Your Majesty has decreed that you will be named the princess of Sanpin, and you are also half a royal person, so it is not too much to help you with this king."

Knowing Wu Zhen's original meaning, Qingxi's cheeks flushed slightly, and Wu Zhen was very happy when he looked at her. He was still worried that he would not be able to deal with this girl, but looking at her appearance today, he was sure that she was interested in him, so that he was not afraid that Qingxi would run away.

"Qingxi has thanked the prince here."

"There is no need to be so polite with this king, Qin Xiao."

"Yes."

"You go to Evian Restaurant now and say something, and call ten cooks to the Fang Mansion early tomorrow morning to help."

"Yes."

After receiving the order, Qin Xiao left in a hurry, Wan Xin calculated the time and whispered in Qingxi's ear:

"Miss, it's time for us to go back."

Wanxin's reminder made Qingxi realize that it was getting late at this time, and it was not good for her to stay here.

"Lord Wang, it's getting late......"

"This king will send a few guards to escort you back to the house."

"Thank you, Lord Wang."

Qingxi did not refuse Wu Zhen's kindness, and the last assassination incident has become a lingering imprint in her heart.

After Fang Qingxi and Wanxin left, Wu Zhen retreated from all the people in the hall, and the entire hall looked particularly terrifying in the silent night.

Wu Zhen sat in his chair without saying a word, the gemstone ring on his hand turned and turned, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the hall, the breeze driven by the placket blew the faint light on the candle stand, Wu Zhen raised his eyes, looked at the man in front of him, and the smile on his face became thicker and thicker.

The blood-colored clothes were wrapped in layers, a layer of tulle on his chest covered the bronzed skin, his long hair was scattered at will, and the falling flowers were all over the ground, only the folding fan in his hand left him with the only masculine breath.

"What? I haven't seen this look in months, marks, it's not like you. ”

"It seems that you are already eight or nine points like him."

"Is it just eight or nine points? I think it's like that! You see, you see. ”

The man fiddled with his scattered long hair as he spoke, and threw Wu Zhen a wink, and Wu Zhen withdrew his gaze and reminded him by the way.

"Lonely, it's time to get down to business."

Seeing that Wu Zhen was a little angry, the man straightened his shirt and said:

"Okay, then I should talk to you about business, I have bad news and good news here, which one do you want to hear first?"

"Bad news."

"And then."

The man used his strength to throw a sachet to Wu Zhen, who caught it neatly and opened it. After carefully reading the news in the sachet, Wu Zhen fell into deep thought, but the man said unhurriedly on the side:

"I also just got this news from Leng Jueao, and I heard that Shen Hongyun also learned Fang Qingxi's true identity. Marks, Fang Qingxi is afraid that she can't move, I heard that Songtang has sent someone to protect her in secret, and the people in Xieyulou are also by her side, I am worried that those people back then will make a comeback. ”

"Without Fang Qingxi, it would be difficult for them to make a comeback, and now Fang Qingxi is just a weak woman, how can they control Disheng? No matter how much they do, it will be in vain, and when she becomes the princess of this king and has children, this king wants to see what will happen to those people! ”

"Trace, be fully prepared for everything."

"Disheng, who is in the hands now?"

"He Wuji."
