The Taiping Building is built outside the Xihua Gate, and the box on the top floor can overlook the Taiye Pool. In the capital, the place close to the palace is generally where the princes and nobles and various imperial institutions are located, and this Taiping Tower is not far from the palace, and there are often dignitaries and dignitaries gathering here.

As soon as everyone arrived at the door, a young man greeted him and asked, "Distinguished guests, can you make an appointment in advance?" ”

Guo Caiping hurriedly said: "I haven't made an appointment, is there a private room on the fourth floor?" ”

"Usually there is no such thing at this time, but this time it seems that I am waiting for all the guest officers, and there is still one now, all the guest officers, please come up with me." The little guy led the way in front with a smile, everyone followed, Liu Pingle and An Ge walked last, Liu Pingle glanced at An Ge strangely, and said, "Are you really going to the fourth floor?" ”

An Ge nodded, puzzled: "Go upstairs and be quiet, what, isn't it good?" ”

"No, the higher the view of this Taiping Building, the better, the fourth floor is the best, but the corresponding dishes are also expensive, and I have only been to the fourth floor once." Liu Pingle said with concern, "Why don't you talk to Lord Liu and change it to eat?" ”

Liu Pingle was originally a big grinning character, but when it came to An Ge, he thought so much about her, An Ge was really moved in his heart, but he still shook his head: "It's okay, since I plan to treat you to a good meal, I won't care about this money." ”

An Ge actually wanted to eat something no matter how expensive it was, but when he got upstairs, he began to regret it...... The little servant carried a wooden plate in his hand, and there were more than forty palm-sized wooden boards on the plate, and the name and price of each dish were written on the wooden board, which was the cheapest jujube paste cake, which cost one or two silver per plate, which could be bought on the corner of the street...... Not to mention the squirrel mandarin fish, cordyceps Fuli duck, snail shrimp, etc., it seems that my wallet will suffer today.

"Let's not order anything too expensive, just eat as much as you want." Liu Yongxu spoke, pointing to the jujube paste and pulling cakes, "This is a plate, and this copper wallet is also a copy." ”

"Why does Lord Liu order all plain points? I have the opportunity to come to the Taiping Building once today, thanks to An Ge's blessing, and I have to eat it once. Guo Caiping tapped his finger on the plate and said, "This copper coin duck must be ordered, it is a feature here, and there is also a copy of the Eight Immortals, and this and this ......."

"We've ordered too much, haven't we? Emperor Taizu once said that officials in the court can only treat four dishes and one soup, even if Dali is much richer than when the country was founded, but diligence and thrift and simplicity are also the virtues of my Dali......" Even Liang Zifeng couldn't stand the fatty dishes, and said.

"Hey, I'm here for you, I want you to eat more, why is it mine?" Guo Caiping was a little aggrieved, and said, "Isn't An Ge's table so insulting?" An Ge is a big celebrity in front of the prince and queen, maybe she can be a princess in the future, this money is not a problem at all in An Ge's eyes, is An Ge? ”

An Ge naturally couldn't sweep everyone's interest, she couldn't say anything, Liu Pingle could see that she was deliberately making things difficult, and stood up and replied for An Ge: "You like to think about us so much, next time you spend money to invite us, this time it's An Ge's treat, it's not good for you to do this kind of thing of borrowing flowers and offering Buddha?" ”

Liu Pingle raised his sleeves to hide his face and said: "I'm not as good as your An Ge, An Ge got a soft hand with a reward, and now the whole capital knows about the Seventh Prince's request to marry An Ge, how can I be virtuous, and what qualifications do I have to invite you to dinner?" ”

"Why are you not qualified? If you invite me, I will definitely not dislike it, and An Ge and I are both newcomers, shouldn't you take care of our juniors as seniors? Liu Pingle sneered, "Let's talk about rewards, a few good articles in the Di Bao last month were basically An Ge and me, how many did you write?" Haven't you still been stained with the two of us and shared a lot of rewards? There are also the Seven Princes, the Seventh Princes are not worthy of An Ge at all, and you will think that the Seventh Princes are a good thing, since you like the Seventh Princes so much, then you should marry yourself! ”

Ange pulled Liu Pingle and motioned for her to stop talking. She was more and more grateful to Liu Pingle for standing up for herself at this time, but she was also a little worried about her...... She scolded people and didn't care about anything, the sentence she just said, "I shared a lot of rewards for the two of us" was not Guo Caiping alone......

"Pingle, didn't you say you were going to eat squirrel mandarin fish a long time ago? I happen to have it here, would you like to order one? An Ge hurriedly diverted the topic, and at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the door: "Who is this king worthy?" ”

Yin Shi Shiran walked in, still carrying the colorful starling in his hand, looked at everyone with a smile, and finally fixed his gaze on An Ge's body.

An Ge was standing behind, but at this moment he noticed that he was looking at himself, and hurriedly subconsciously hid behind Liu Yongsu, Liu Yongxu hurriedly bowed and saluted: "It turned out to be the Seventh Prince, what a coincidence." ”

"Well, it's a coincidence, I don't know if I can add a pair of chopsticks? The king was also a little hungry. ”

Guo Caiping noticed that his gaze never left An Ge, and he was annoyed, and without waiting for Liu Yongxu to answer, he smiled and said: "This Seventh Prince is going to ask An Ge, today is An Ge's treat." ”

Realizing that this was Guo Caiping deliberately throwing the pot to himself, An Ge naturally wouldn't offend him, and it was better to be bold than twisting and pinching, so he raised his head and smiled at Yin Yi: "Naturally, what does the prince say, the palace will still need your care in the future." ”

These words are standard polite words, Yin Cheng felt a little uncomfortable when he heard it, but he still sat down with a smile, called the little servant to hang his bird aside, and began to beckon others: "You can sit down too." ”

Liu Yongxu naturally sat next to him, Liang Zifeng also knew his personality very well, and he didn't worry about the ladies in the mansion sitting with him, so he also sat next to him on the other side without saying a word.

After everyone sat down, the little guy also began to serve, Yin Che saw that everyone was not moving, and knew that he was waiting for him, so he took the initiative to pick up the chopsticks.

Guo Caiping, who was sitting next to Liu Yongxu, saw that Yin Cheng seemed to have forgotten what Liu Pingle blurted out to insult him before, so he reminded him through Liu Yongxu: "Don't blame us for the matter of Fang Cai, the prince will laugh at An Ge with Pingle, saying that you have a deep love for An Ge, and persuade An Ge to answer the prince as soon as possible, Pingle jokingly said that the prince is not worthy of An Ge." ”

"Oh?" When Yin Cheng heard this, he turned his head and looked at Liu Pingle with a smile, "Pingle is you, right?" This king has seen you. Tell me, why is this king not worthy of An Ge? ”

Liu Pingle just wants to say that you don't have a little count in your heart...... But An Ge pulled her hand under the table in time, and his eyes motioned for her not to speak. Yin Cheng can find out her identity clearly, and he can also find out Liu Pingle's identity, in case he is a grudge, in the future, he will say that Liu Pingle's father is not in front of the emperor, and the emperor loves this younger brother so much, and there is no guarantee that the emperor with a bad personality will not target the Liu family.

"I don't know, in fact, the seven princes we just talked about don't mean you, but the characters in the book we are going to write next, the prince is the most beautiful man in Dali, how can there be someone who the prince is not worthy?" An Ge picked up the teacup and said, "An Ge toasts the prince with tea instead of wine, thank the prince for his appreciation." ”

"Oh, it's not the king." Yin Cheng seemed to really no longer doubt it, smiled and picked up the teacup to take An Ge's explanation, and after drinking the tea, he said smugly, "This king also thinks that there is no way that a woman doesn't like this king, after all, there is no more handsome man than this king in the whole Dali." ”

An Ge lowered his head and smiled, and said, "Lord Wang, eat quickly, the food is about to be cold." ”

Seeing that this matter was gently put down by An Ge, Guo Caiping was not convinced, and wanted to instigate her, Liu Yongxu coughed violently, and looked at her without moving.

Guo Caiping swallowed the words that came to her mouth, snorted lightly, knowing that if she continued to provoke trouble, Liu Yongsu would not spare her, but after all, she still couldn't swallow this breath, pursed her lips, and suddenly smiled: "An Ge, since you respect the prince, you simply toast, drinking tea is too disrespectful to the prince, right?" ”

Yin Cheng put down the teacup and glanced at her with deep meaning in his eyes, and now he could see that this person was at odds with An Ge.

Yin Cheng ignored her, turned to look at An Ge, and said affectionately: "You don't have to drink, it's best that you don't drink in the future, otherwise you will drink too much, and this king will have to worry about you." ”

"......" Everyone present could see An Ge's embarrassment, and Liu Yongxu hurriedly said: "Lord, eat the food, the food is almost cold." ”

"Okay, you eat too."

finally diverted Yin Cheng's attention, and An Ge breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, An Ge lowered his head and whispered to Liu Pingle, "Pingle, I'll go out for a while." ”

Liu Pingle nodded. Because there were men and women present, it was inconvenient for An Ge to excuse himself to go out to the toilet, so he simply went out without saying anything, and after she left, Liu Pingle explained for her that it was an internal emergency.

In fact, An Ge went to the first floor in advance to find the shopkeeper to calculate how much the meal would cost, many of them were expensive dishes, and if it wasn't enough, it would be a shame.

As a result, when I asked, I actually ate thirty-five taels of silver, which far exceeded An Ge's expectations, and not only that, but I didn't have so much silver with me......

Liu Pingle saw that An Ge hadn't come up for a long time upstairs, so he also found an excuse to slip down, and when he saw An Ge standing at the door, he hurriedly went over and asked, "An Ge, what are you doing standing here?" ”

An Ge showed a look of joy, and hurriedly said: "It's really good that you came down, I just asked the shopkeeper to calculate, I actually ate thirty-five taels of silver for this meal, but I only had twenty-five taels on me, and there was still a difference of ten taels, and I was hesitating to go back to my residence to get the money, so you came." Have you brought any silver? ”

"I have exactly ten taels here, for you." Liu Pingle took out a silver ingot from the purse on his waist and handed it to An Ge, then furrowed his brows and said, "Although I know you can afford this meal, I still can't swallow this breath in my heart-look at that Guo Caiping, it is obvious that he deliberately wants to slaughter you!" And she deliberately mentioned in front of the Seventh Lord that he had forgotten about it, she deliberately embarrassed the two of us! ”

"Yes, I can't swallow this breath either......" And An Ge also knew that Guo Caiping just looked down on her at the beginning, but she still stammered Liu Pingle, and she is treating Pingle like this now, in the final analysis, because of herself.
