Chapter 45: An Appointment with the Seventeenth Prince
Leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ah Jiu was about to get into the carriage and go back to the mansion, when Shangguan Yunshu caught up, stopped her, and asked, "Why did you boast about Haikou in front of Prime Minister Zuo just now?" ”
Ah Jiu paused, looked at him sideways, and raised his eyebrows, "How do you assert that I'm boasting about Haikou?" ”
"Don't pretend, I know who you are!" Shangguan Yunshu said.
"Oh, so what?" She is still light and light, and obviously doesn't mind revealing her identity at all. Besides, with Bai Ze by his side, anyone with a little vision and brain can guess it.
So what? Shangguan Yunshu stared at her with strange eyes. Even he can see it, let alone Prime Minister Zuo. It is said that before she was elected to the palace, Prime Minister Zuo had intended to propose marriage for his eldest son Gao Qian.
She was eager to perform in front of Prime Minister Zuo, could it be that she wanted to leave a good impression on him, could it be that she was thinking about Gao Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of War?
This woman - what a day!
With such a guess, Shangguan Yunshu had an even worse impression of her.
"What the hell are you up to?" Shangguan Yunshu asked.
Plot? Ah Jiu looked at him amusedly, "What am I trying to do, if this matter is resolved, it will only be beneficial and harmless to you." ”
"You are a woman, what can you do?" Shangguan Yunshu snorted disapprovingly. Thinking about it, she also has to go back to the ninth brother to solve it.
"Seventeenth prince, this is looking down on women?"
Shangguan Yunshu snorted, "I just don't want you to cause trouble for Brother Jiu again. Your existence has caused a gap between the emperor and the ninth brother, and the courtiers are dissatisfied with the questioning, I hope you will be at ease, don't come out to attract bees and butterflies, and attract people's attention. He spoke sharply and directly, with an indignant accusation.
"Seventeen princes." Bai Ye whispered to stop his words from hurting people.
Ah Jiu didn't feel any pain or itching, and still laughed heartlessly, "Oh, is it? I have such a big charm! ”
This seventeen princes are simple at first glance, not living in the palace for a long time, not like the emperor who always wears a gentle mask to do cruel and ruthless things, nor is he as deep and dark as Shangguan's peerless and cunning with a knife hidden in his smile.
He has a straightforward and frank personality in him, and from his dissatisfaction with himself, it can be seen that he values brotherhood very much, and he doesn't want her to make their brothers fall into the wall. However, after Ah Jiu came into contact with them, he was already keenly aware that he was just a pawn in their fight.
Although she still doesn't know what Shangguan Jue's purpose is, it is definitely not for her.
"You don't have to be too complacent, Brother Jiu is just confused by you for a while." Shangguan Yunshu hated her light and breezy appearance.
"I'm not proud, it's just that I'm a little 'flattered' when I hear the seventeenth prince say this." Ah Jiu said innocently.
"Seventeenth prince, stop making senseless wars of words. Now it's time to think about countermeasures, according to his subordinates, Hanuchi will never give up, if he sues the palace, the emperor is afraid that it will not be favoritism......"
"Didn't she say there was a way, I wanted to see what perfect plan she could come up with." There was contempt in Shangguan Yunshu's tone.
"Didn't the seventeenth prince not believe me?" Ah Jiu said that the old god was there.
"Hmph, I think I also know, who else can you find besides Brother Jiu!"
Ah Jiu smiled and said, "This little thing, why bother the Nine Princes." ”
Bai Ye looked at her full of confidence from beginning to end, and couldn't help but look at her curiously.
"Does the seventeenth prince dare to make a bet with me?"
Shangguan Yunshu looked at her suspiciously, pondering for a moment, "Bet on what?" ”
"If I can make him take the initiative to admit his mistake and pour tea and apologize to you, then the seventeenth prince owes me a favor." Ah Jiu said with a shrewd face.
Shangguan Yunshu laughed when he heard her words, turned his head to Bai Ye and said, "I think you should take her back to see the doctor, this naivety is also a disease, and it is easy to be brain-dead if not treated in time." ”
"Wow, I didn't expect the seventeenth prince to speak quite innovatively. If you stay in our modern age, you can lead the Internet trend in a minute. Ah Jiu exclaimed.
Shangguan Yunshu frowned and looked at Bai Ye, this woman spoke strangely, what is this, he doesn't understand it.
Bai Ye looked at the seventeenth prince calmly, just get used to it. Don't talk about you, even the prince will often hear her strange words.
The two men made eye contact.
Ah Jiu: You two don't have to be so bright and "eyebrows flirting", when she is transparent.
Shangguan Yunshu turned his gaze back to her in understanding, and said deliberately embarrassed: "I want to make me owe you a favor, unless you don't ask Brother Jiu for help." ”
"No problem." Ah Jiu simply agreed, and said, "But I hope that the seventeenth prince can cooperate with me." ”
Shangguan Yunshu thought for a while and nodded: "Okay." He wanted to see what tricks the woman could play.
"Deal." Ah Jiu raised his right hand with a smile.
Shangguan Yunshu was aroused by her great interest and curiosity, and it was rare to put down his prejudices and raise his hand to high-five her-the agreement officially took effect!
——
Back at the Shanglin Pavilion, where he was temporarily staying, Hanu Chi was full of anger, and as soon as he entered the door, he kicked over the chairs in the hall, and then slammed his hateful fist on the table, shaking the table legs to tears.
"What a fucking shit! This prince has never been so angry, and if this account is not returned, I will not give up! Hanu said viciously.
"Fifth Prince, please calm your anger."
After Hanuchi took the table and chair to vent some of his anger, he turned to stare at him with a calm face, rushed over, grabbed his shirt, and said with raised eyebrows: "Why didn't you help Prince Ben just now?" You're not very eloquent? Doesn't your father always praise you for being resourceful, shrewd and capable, and a general who can assist him in his great cause. But you didn't even dare to fart in front of the prime minister. ”
Yin Shi pulled his hand away with the same expression, slowly smoothed the crumpled placket of his clothes, and reminded him with a light smile: "Fifth prince, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan." Don't forget the purpose of our trip. ”
Hanu frowned wickedly, and scolded unwillingly.
"Why should the fifth prince be in a hurry, when the time comes, you can take revenge as much as you want."
Hanu clenched his teeth and said, "When the time comes, I will definitely crush those two people to ashes." ”
Yin Shi looked at him lightly and said, "Before that, according to the minister's opinion, the fifth prince should practice martial arts first. ”
Hanu glared at him fiercely.
Yin Shi was not afraid, and smiled elegantly, "Those who achieve great things must have a broad mind and be able to hear the advice of the contrary." The minister only said the facts, the seventeenth prince is just a small role, this is the real capable person of the Southern Liang Kingdom, and the fifth prince has not seen it. ”
"You're saying that Prince Ben isn't even as good as a small role."
Yin Shi just smiled and said, "The minister still has something to deal with, so the prince will go back to the room to rest first." With that, he turned and left.
Hanuchi's expression was gloomy, he dared to use such an attitude towards him!
"By the way, before entering the palace, the fifth prince had better not go out again."
Hanu glared at his back, turned suddenly, and slammed his palm at the table, and the sturdy sandalwood table, which had been hit by the double blow, suddenly collapsed, and the broken wooden pieces lay on the ground.
——
After returning to the Nine Princes' Mansion, dinner was ready, but the Nine Princes were not seen.
The housekeeper said that the ninth prince had finished dinner, was working in the study, and told Bai Ze to go to the study to see him if he came back.
Ah Jiu sat comfortably in the huge flower hall and dined.
Green pothos looked at her, thinking that the white guards had been called by the prince, how could she still be in the mood to eat? This heart ...... It's huge.
"Pothos, you can also sit down and eat a piece." Ah Jiu greeted.
Luluo hurriedly shook her head and waved her hand, "No need, Luluo will go to the back kitchen to eat in a while." "I've been with my mother for a long time, and I don't usually have so much etiquette between the two of them in private. But this is the dining room, a place where the master and guests can sit, and her ass is not yet that blessed.
Ah Jiu also knew the rules, didn't force her, and said: "Then you go and eat, you must be hungry after running all day." ”
Luluo was a little uneasy, thought about it, and said cautiously: "Niangniang, do you say that the white guards will tell the prince about today's incident." ”
Ah Jiu took a piece of Babaozhen duck meat and put it in his mouth, his eyes stared at the other dishes, and he said vaguely in words that he didn't care about: "Just say it, it's not something unsightly." ”
"But ......"
Ah Jiu raised his head slightly, glanced at her, and said angrily: "It's not that Ben Niangniang dislikes you, it's not good to be such a mother-in-law at a young age, this problem has to be changed, men don't like women who are too nagging." She smiled meaningfully.
"Niangniang-" Luthos's face flushed slightly, and she stomped her foot coquettishly, and said, "The slave doesn't care about you." ”
Ah Jiu couldn't help but laugh when she looked at her shy figure running away. She hasn't said anything yet, this little girl is really thin-skinned.
Ah Jiu shook his head and continued to eat while thinking about today's events.
There are too many things that have happened after the crossing, and there are too many mysteries behind all the changes that people can't see through and guess. She believes that the crossing is not accidental, and perhaps it is predestined. However, this predecessor did not leave her any valuable clues.
She was still very confused before, but after a trip to Suigetsu-an, she had some ideas in her heart. But to solve these mysteries, you have to take a good look at it. And the first thing to do is to lay a foundation of contacts in this dynasty.
——
In the study, Shangguan Jieshi was listening to Bai Ze's meticulous report on today's events.
He lazily supported himself with one hand, resting on the table with one hand, his bones were distinct, and his slender and good-looking fingers tapped lightly on the table.
At the end, he looked pensive.
Bai Ze looked at his master fixedly, watching the change in his expression.
After being silent for a long time, Shangguan Jue put down his hand, stretched out close to the wide chair, slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, with a very faint smile on his face, and slowly opened his lips, "I didn't expect her to think of using private resources." ”
Bai Ze was also surprised, and said: "Actually, she can ask the prince for help, after all, the best spy is in our house." ”
