Early Spring in Jiangnan (XIII) (Part II)

What has Tang Sangongzi done in the past few days? The crowd was in an uproar. Let the dignified princess ask like this, could it be that the third prince of Tang deceived the princess's dark room?

Xinjie's expression suddenly became indifferent, no longer polite, no longer humble, stood up straight, looked at the female officer in front of him indifferently, and the female official couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart. The guests dining in the lobby were very quiet for a while. All kinds of speculation, anticipation and mockery are focused. Xinjie didn't speak for a while, but the smile on his face grew bigger and bigger, is this Princess Jingchen really stupid and willing to be a gunman for others, or does she want to show her sincerity to some people? Or is he stupid, and even thinks he will be stupid to be caught by her? Or does she just want to pick up the grass and beat the rabbit, pretending to be crazy and stupid? Either way, he was disdainful, and snorted lightly and said, "This lady, are you saying this here at the behest of the princess?" Or is it Madame's own imagination? Does Madame know what it is to talk about royalty in private? As a foreign minister, Tang has no power, let alone wants to ask the princess anything. Tang said again, the princess has something to do, and when she returns to the palace, the queen will be the master for her. As for Tang's matter, I'm afraid it's not within the jurisdiction of Mrs., and Mrs. has no right to intervene. And Tang is worthy of doing things, abiding by the law, worthy of the court and the emperor. With that, he turned and left.

I could only hear the sound of tables and chairs toppling in the private room, Then Princess Jingchen's slender figure appeared at the door, holding on to the doorrail, and her face was pale: "Brother Jie, are you really as they say,*, but you are cold-blooded and ruthless?" ”

Xinjie turned around and raised his eyebrows amusedly to look at the princess: "Princess, please respect yourself, Tang can't afford your title." ”

Jing Chen seemed to be very heartbroken, holding the doorrail with one hand and his heart with the other: "Brother Jie, what's wrong with you?" Is it Jing Chen, where is it that makes you sad? How good were we when we were in the capital? In order to see you, as long as you are in the capital, I often stay in the West Mountain Courtyard. You often come on the second watch and go on the fourth watch. Before you left the capital, you asked the palace to come to Hangzhou to meet you after praying for blessings. When the palace arrived near Jinfeng Temple, two nights before entering the temple to fast, we also met for two nights in the Jinye Courtyard at the foot of Jinfeng Temple. I sent someone to invite you when I got out of the customs and arrived at the post station, but you didn't see anyone, and in desperation, the palace knew that this was your property, and I heard that you had booked a boat to return to Beijing tomorrow, so I had to come here to find you. Could it be that what they said is true, that you completely abandoned this princess when you had a new love? ”

Tang Sangongzi is romantic, well-known. But the royal princess also dares to play like this? One has to admire. However, after eating this, the royal princess still dares to let go, and there are few people in the world.

Just when everyone sighed at Tang Gongzi's boldness, they heard Tang Gongzi's sarcastic tone: "Did the princess recognize the wrong person?" Although Tang has stayed in the capital, but has never been to the princess's Xishan Courtyard, the princess came to Jiangnan Tang knows nothing, if you don't appear here today, Tang doesn't know that the princess has arrived in Hangzhou, how can you talk about meeting with the princess? ”

"Brother Jie, how can you do this?!" Jing Chen took out a piece of jade pendant from his sleeve, which looked of high quality from a distance, and took out a man's handkerchief, made of high-grade fine cotton: "This Tongxin Pei was left for me to think about the night before you left Beijing, when you and I regretted parting, and this handkerchief was also left by you after you wiped it for me in the Jinye Courtyard." ”

There were a lot of people in this hall, and when they heard it, they all understood the meaning of wiping, and they couldn't help but gasp. Not to mention Tang Sanshao, this princess is not ashamed, and she dares to take out this kind of thing.

"Princess? Are you sure you didn't leave these things behind by any of your male pets? Did the princess's memory go wrong? Xinjie said disdainfully.

"Brother Jie, how can you hurt me so much, these are what you left behind twice. These objects have your smell on them, and this palace can only be at ease when you fall asleep with them in your arms. ”

"Since Her Royal Highness the princess has said all these kinds of words, Tang just wants to ask, is it the same male pet who the princess has been sleeping with her in her arms these nights? Everyone in the capital knows that there are many male pets around the princess, and there are several people who bring Jiangnan with her. Do you hug the same one every night and leave everyone else out in the cold, or do they all stay with you? ”

The guests in the hall were again reggiot. The royal princess may have a rotten life, but at the same time with a few male pets by her side, she is still a princess who has not been out of the cabinet, this... ....

"Tang Xinjie!" Princess Jingchen was very angry: "You bastard, in order to achieve your goal of abandoning the chaos from the beginning, you actually slandered this princess. How dare you say you didn't go to me? Where did all the clothes in my house that smelled of you come from? You didn't come to me for those nights? Can you tell where you went? Who did you meet? Who is there to bear witness? Seeing that Xinjie didn't speak, Jing Chen said proudly: "Do you say that it was night, you were sleeping in your own room, and there were no witnesses?" Or do you mean, let me name the mark on your body, that you took off your clothes in front of this public to prove your innocence? After speaking, a casual smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Xinjie didn't speak, just looked at Jing Chen with interest, Jing Chen felt extremely pressure from his deep eyes, but she didn't care, and looked back at him with her head held high. has survived in the palace for many years, if she had been repelled by the eyes, she would not have been able to live to this day. What's more, she likes this man, but this man doesn't have her in his eyes, and since someone is now giving her benefits to ruin him, she feels very happy, and she can't get it anyway. She picked up the handkerchief and sniffed it on the tip of her nose, took a deep breath, and smiled wickedly: "Brother Jie, your figure is arrogant and attractive, why don't you expose the knife wound on your back for everyone to see, and see how manly you are?" ”

Xinjie also raised his eyebrows and smiled evilly: "The women who have slept with me know that I have a scar on my back, and even a flower thief deliberately pasted a scar on my back in order to imitate me." I didn't expect princesses to be interested in men with scars, did you let your male pets get fake scars behind their backs to make you happy? ”

Everyone thought about it, yes, Tang San Gongzi*, there are countless women who have been on it, just find one and ask it, this princess is really shameless to talk about this.

But Tang was very moved, I didn't expect the princess to miss Tang so much. Not only did people imitate me, but your chief guard went to Kansai to assassinate my lady who didn't pass through the door. Today, I came to Hangzhou to ruin my reputation. I don't know why the princess wants to kill Tang and my lady? ”

Referring to his lady who had not passed through the door, the anger in Jing Chen's heart really rose, and she gritted her teeth fiercely and said, "If you want to marry you, she should die." After saying that, she suddenly realized that she had lost her words. She likes him, she really likes him for so many years, although many times she approaches him for other purposes, but she can't hide her sincere love for him. Why can't she get it, the so-called Miss Bai can get it, and a nameless orphan girl is also worthy?! Although she has regarded direct interaction with him as a play, as a transaction with the people behind the scenes, her dislike for those women who are close to him is from the heart.

Everyone was immediately frightened, this princess was heard by them today, no matter which of these two people said the truth, it was too terrifying, if you want to kill it?

"Princess, please be cautious, the emperor attaches great importance to etiquette and virtue, and the guests here today are all innocent people, Tang doesn't want them to be harmed."

"Look at what you said, is this the princess who kills innocents without conscience? How could I let people go to these guests for trouble?! ”

That being said, many people slandered her, if it weren't for Tang Gongzi to point it out, this demon princess would have to do this kind of thing.

"Childe," I saw a guard from the Aoki Society hurriedly enter, "A quarter of an hour ago, someone attacked Miss Biao's car near the nursery of the West Garden of Baihuatang. ”

"How's Miss Cousin?" Eagerness and concern are palpable.

"Miss Cousin is not in the car. Today, Deacon Zhao of Baihuatang Xiyuan took in a pregnant woman who was bitten by a poisonous snake, and the pregnant woman was in labor, Miss Biao happened to go to Xiyuan to inspect today, and encountered this incident, in order to save the fetus in the womb of the pregnant woman, Deacon Zhao was sent to Baicaotang in the city to get medicine, and Deacon Zhao did not have another set of cars, and used Miss Table's car. The three masters sent by the other party besieged the carriage, and when we arrived, both the coachman and Deacon Zhao were seriously wounded. If it weren't for Deacon Zhao's strong martial arts, I'm afraid that his life would have been lost. ”

Just now the princess said that she wanted the cousin to die, and now that this has happened, it is difficult for people not to say that the princess did it.

Jing Chen was also surprised, the time was so good, could it be that the people behind the scenes also sold her? Before she could figure it out for a while, she heard Xinjie say: "The princess is really a good method, she is messing around here and dragging Tang, but she is poisoning my lady over there." ”

In Yumen, Yu Zhenxiang also got a tip that someone had attacked Miss Bai Jiabiao's car. Since his grandson came to Hangzhou, they have met several times, and every time the grandfather and grandson mention this topic, they will either bypass it, or they will break up unhappily, although he instinctively rejects the woman chosen by his grandson, but it is another matter for outsiders to attack her.

"Who did it?"

"Looks like Princess Jingchen?" Jade Handle replied. Yu Shan, who was in charge of news collection in Yumen, followed Yu Zhenxiang for more than 20 years.

"When did you learn to perfunctory me and use words that look like that?" Yu Zhenxiang said dissatisfiedly.

"It's because the subordinates found the three black-clothed men who did it in Shanghefang, all of them died, and they were all shattered by heavy hands, and that courtyard belonged to the Dahe Gang. Miss Biao is assassinated, and the little master will definitely investigate it, This practice naturally wants to lead the troubles to the Big River Gang. The little master and the Big River Gang have had festivals since they were children, and it is too easy to frame them. At the time of the accident, Princess Jingchen was pestering the young master in Yuehuaxuan, which made it easy for people to have the illusion that the princess did it and blamed the Dahe Gang. Jade Shank didn't panic and explained slowly.

"What's the point of blaming Princess Jingchen?"

"This subordinate doesn't know, I want to have something to do with the affairs of the palace. The little master is now the prince's staff, and if the princess offends him, it will indirectly push the concubine family to the opposite side of the prince. ”

Yu Zhenxiang was very irritable, this is all to blame on the Chen sisters, let Xinjie do things for the prince, on the surface he is a staff member, but in essence, he is not asking his grandson to be a bodyguard for his grandson. If people want to deal with the crown prince, they must deal with his grandson first. He's just one blood relative.

"Can you find out who it is?" Now that this is the case, of course he has to find a way to protect Xinjie.

"It took some time, but at that time, I only found that these men in black were equipped with knives and daggers commonly used by Jianghu people. There was no sign of status, just that everyone was tall and had a thick calloon on their index fingers, which was not a sword, but like a rope or a bridle. There is a big difference between the skin that is exposed to the outside and the skin color that is not exposed to the sun, unlike the sun in Jiangnan. According to the news from Baihuatang, the number of paths they used to do was a little weird, but there were no shows, but it was a bit unlike the number of paths in the Central Plains martial arts. At the beginning, I always wanted to carry Deacon Zhao away, but later found that Deacon Zhao was strong in martial arts before he started fighting. ”

"That is, their purpose is not to assassinate, but to kidnap."

"It should be. And they didn't know Miss Bai. Although Deacon Zhao has been a deacon in Baihuatang for many years, she is not very old, only about twenty years old, and it is possible that the other party mistook her for Miss Bai. ”

Kidnapping that woman is to negotiate terms with his grandson?! In a place where Yumen and the Chen family in Jiangnan are strong, dare you?! But after thinking about it, he was angry again, and asked him to choose a woman who was either outstanding in martial arts and could protect himself, or his mother's family was strong and others did not dare to move at will. This Chen Biyan is too, if you want to take care of your niece for your daughter, there are people in the Tang Sect, why bother Xinjie.

"It's important to find out who is behind it. In addition, this kid is going back to Beijing tomorrow, and now when you go out, tell Yuqiang by the way, let him bring this kid to see me. ”

But Yuqiang didn't find Tang Gongzi in Yuehuaxuan and the Aoki Tea House in Hangzhou, and it turned out that Tang Gongzi went to Xiyuan Nursery to pick up the white girl.

Although Xinjie was confident that the information he controlled was enough to know the other party's movements, and the guards of Baihuatang and the secret protection of Aoki Society could also protect Lian'er, but at this moment, he wanted to see her very much, so he left what he was doing and went straight to Xiyuan Nursery. It wasn't until I saw her appear in front of me that my heart felt ground. As for Princess Jingchen in the city and the people behind the scenes, he naturally won't let it go later. I personally took her to beat the horse through the city, and the heat wave about the princess's love for Tang Sangongzi set off by Princess Jingchen in the morning was heated up again. He didn't care so much, he kept hugging her tightly, lest he lose it, took her hand, and returned to the hilltop courtyard where Aoki Villa was well-protected on the Huanglong Slope, so he let go of her hand with confidence, and Wen Cun was reluctant to go out alone for a long time, and Lian'er began to be busy with various affairs of Baihuatang and Baicaotang again.

In the evening, He Liangwei borrowed the Feihua Pavilion in Xinjie's Aoki Courtyard to see them off, and the Jiangnan minor tunes staged here are soft, euphemistic, sweet and delicate, which is very different from the style of the north. Everyone was waiting for Xinjie to come back from running errands, Xinyue was worried that her brother and Lian'er were about to leave, the sons of the Chen family and Gong Zhiyun were coming, and Lian'er was exhausted after a sleepless and busy day, and she was drowsy listening to Xiaoqu, and she didn't notice the worry in Xinjie's eyes when she entered the door. The low mood makes everyone unhappy and ends early. At dawn, Xinjie took Lian'er on a boat and headed north to the capital.
