Over the years, as a prince, he has been beautiful on the surface, however, behind the scenes, he has been restrained everywhere, and in order to get rid of the shackles, he needs power.

But the road of power is not easy to walk, you must take every step, you can't be in a hurry, if you are in a hurry, you will be easy to make mistakes, and if you make a mistake, you will not be able to turn over.

On the surface, he obeyed the emperor's orders, did not fight or rob, silently did his own internal affairs, and secretly expanded his power. Later, he finally won the trust of his father and sent him to escort grain and grass to the northwest.

Then, he saw Chu Lange again.

The girl who saw the uneven road back then has grown up a lot.

If you hadn't seen her fierce skills, just looking at her slim figure would still be quite deceptive.

At that time, Xiao Shi was sitting at the window of a restaurant.

Chu Lange walked away with a young man, and finally stopped at a shop selling jade across from the restaurant.

As soon as Xiao Shi lowered his eyebrows, he could catch every move of the two.

Xiao Shi was not interested in other people's affairs, but it was impossible for Xiao Shi to ignore the man beside Chu Lange, with a long posture, an extraordinary temperament, and a mask on his face, covering most of his face......

Zhuo Yilan!

Xiao Shi silently recited the name in his heart.

Even he didn't notice that Zhuo Yilan appeared behind him, and the palm that he had originally placed on his lap and clenched into a fist was unconsciously retracted.

He watched coldly as the two walked into the jade shop.

Before Chu Lange could speak, Zhuo Yilan opened his mouth first, and then the shopkeeper took out some jade and carefully placed it on the counter.

Chu Lange was probably dissatisfied and didn't speak.

Next to him, Zhuo Yilan stretched out his hand as if casually and knocked on the counter, and the shopkeeper hurriedly entered the inner hall and took out a box.

The box opens.

Xiao Shi's angle couldn't see what was inside the box, but he could tell from Chu Lange's demeanor that she was very satisfied with the contents of the box.

Chu Lange raised his head again and talked to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper replied respectfully.

Xiao Shi guessed that they were probably bargaining.

Such a move is inappropriate in the city, on any lady's beauty, a young lady from an official eunuch can't do these things to lower her status, but she takes it for granted.

Xiao Shi saw the shopkeeper's face darkened after hearing Chu Lange's words, and he couldn't help but chuckle.

This woman was more interesting than he had imagined.

In the next moment, the smile on the corner of his mouth froze.

Because, he saw Zhuo Yilan, who had been standing silently behind Chu Lange, and secretly gestured to the shopkeeper.

What do you mean? Xiao Shi narrowed his eyes.

The previous pleasure had long since vanished, Xiao Shi sat by the window without saying a word, drank tea, watched the two of them buy things and leave the jade shop, and sat for a while, he saw Zhuo Yilan who hurried back.

When he saw Zhuo Yilan pay the shopkeeper two pieces of silver, Xiao Shi smiled again.

It's a sneer.

Really......

He took the matter to heart.

In the years to come, all confirmed his guesses.

The more Emperor Yuan valued Zhuo Yilan, the more unfavorable it was to him. Even later, Emperor Yuan suppressed him as if he was out of nowhere.

He and Zhuo Yilan seem to be born with only one.

But because of Emperor Yuan, he still had to maintain a superficial harmony with Zhuo Yilan. And the development of forces requires a lot of money, except for the money Lin Zijin earns, it is still a bit stretched.
