Xiao Yuqi didn't expect that Luo Qingluan would come uninvited.

Looking at the smiling woman in front of him, he was a little surprised, and was about to find some reason to see her again, but she came by herself.

"Why is Princess Chu here, please sit inside."

Immediately let people serve tea, Xiao Yuqi personally welcomed Luo Qingluan in, the two sat down in the main hall, Luo Qingluan was not polite, casually said that he had something to ask, picked up the teacup and took two sips, looking like a long talk.

"I don't know what Princess Chu wants to ask?" Xiao Yuqi smiled faintly.

"Oh, nothing, I'm just idle, curious. Prince Xiao's mansion doesn't look like a temporary place to stay. Luo Qingluan looked very casual, looked around, and looked at the various furnishings in the hall.

This is a small three-entry courtyard, and from the outside, it looks like an ordinary rich family's house. Blue bricks and tiles, according to the wall courtyard, ear room patio, left and right wings, it seems that a thousand taels of silver can be plated.

But inside, it's a different story.

Every furnishing, including a pot of flowers on the Duobao Pavilion, a stove of sandalwood, etc., and even every corner, is not only clean and dusty, but also has a famous design, elegant and chic. The small courtyard hall looks fresh and elegant, pleasant and livable.

Xiao Yuqi smiled: "Naturally, I can't hide the eyesight of Princess Chu, this mansion belongs to the three emperor uncles of the palace, before coming to Western Chu, the palace thought that it was inconvenient to live in Honglu Temple, so I went to him to ask for this mansion." It's not expensive, 100,000 taels of silver. ”

100,000 taels is not expensive? Only Xiao Yuqi's identity can say this.

If you want to change to another house in another location in the capital of Western Chu, it is equivalent to this, at most only one or two thousand. However, Luo Qingluan must also admit that Xiao Yuqi's house is really good, although the sparrows are small and have all kinds of organs, even if she likes it, it is really a penny for the price.

"No wonder Prince Xiao doesn't go to Honglu Temple, if I have such a good house in Dongwan, next time I go, I won't bother you to entertain you." Luo Qingluan smiled, looking relaxed and comfortable.

Maybe she should be glad that Xiao Yuqi lives here, otherwise, if he still lives in Honglu Temple this time, she is afraid that Yao Fangzheng, who is now panicked, will show his flaws in front of him, and he may not be able to say anything if he is detected.

"By the way, Prince Xiao came to Xichu this time, did he want to propose marriage to the third princess for the third prince?"

Luo Qingluan said lightly, his clear eyes fell on Xiao Yuqi's face, as if he wanted to see through something, "If not, why did the third prince go on the day when the third princess recruited relatives, and he was so eager to replace someone else's place?" ”

As soon as he heard Luo Qingluan talk about business, Xiao Yuqi's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "This is also a coincidence." The queen mother has been wanting her third brother to take the concubine for the past two years, but he has a stubborn personality, and his father wants him to be more calm for two more years, so as not to miss the happiness of other women. It's a coincidence......"

smiled and shook his head, a little unbearable: "The third brother followed me to Xichu, but I fell in love with the third princess at first sight, and I had to marry her." Since he has this heart, it's not easy for me to be the eldest brother, I just hope that he can be sensible from now on, don't be so out of tune. ”

"Now Your Majesty has promised the marriage of the third prince and the third princess, just wait for the Ministry of Rites to prepare and send the letter of state to His Majesty Dongwan. Prince Xiao, congratulations. Luo Qingluan smiled lightly, as if he remembered something again, "By the way, why didn't you see Prince Xiao San?" Could it be that he went to see the princess? ”

Without doubting her, Xiao Yuqi nodded: "Yes, since the name was decided, the third brother has gone to the princess's mansion for the past two days, and the palace can't persuade him." Although before getting married, there should be more and more precautions between men and women, but since the third brother is so attentive to the princess, the palace only hopes that the princess can restrain him more and control him. ”

Taking the opportunity, he finally turned the topic to Xiao Tianci: "Princess Chu, the last time the palace came to visit, there was something that I hadn't said yet. ”

"What does Prince Xiao want to say?" Luo Qingluan looked at him.

didn't speak directly, Xiao Yuqi slapped his palms, Yan Wu immediately understood, went out for a while and came in again, there was already an extra tray in his hand, and it was placed in front of Xiao Yuqi. The latter picked up the box, looked at Luo Qingluan and said: "Princess Chu, this palace earnestly asks you for one thing, if Princess Chu is willing to agree, the contents of this box will be counted as a thank you gift from this palace." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to be afraid that Luo Qingluan would misunderstand, so he immediately said: "Of course, if the princess of Chu is inconvenient, the palace will not be reluctant, this gift is considered to be given to the princess of Chu by the palace. ”

This is polite, knowing that Xiao Yuqi has been in the capital of Xichu for several days, but he has not heard where he has gone. Luo Qingluan and Nalan Ye have not had time to greet him because of the disappearance of the treasure in the past few days, where can I say the word hospitality?

But Xiao Yuqi's attitude is very good, Luo Qingluan refused last time because it was difficult to heal and didn't want to make trouble, but now, she wants to find out the secret of the theft of the treasure from Xiao Yuqi and Xiao Tianci, so she doesn't plan to shirk anymore.

"Prince Xiao is so polite, I don't know what the matter is, you might as well talk about it. If I can help, I won't refuse. Luo Qingluan smiled lightly, watching Xiao Yuqi open the box in his hand, and sure enough, it was the thousand-year-old humanoid ginseng that he brought to the Chu Wangfu last time!

Finally waiting for Luo Qingluan's words, Xiao Yuqi explained the situation again, and his face was somewhat embarrassed: "That's it." Princess Chu, the third brother of the palace is indeed a little ridiculous, it was his fault for not following the medical advice of the princess of Chu, the palace and the father and queen mother both scolded him, I wanted him to learn a lesson, and I will talk about it later, but ...... Now that he has made a marriage with the third princess, if His Majesty knows about it, I am afraid that he will misunderstand something, it will not be good. ”

Frowning slightly, Luo Qingluan seemed to be smiling, picking up the ginseng in the box and looking at it carefully, as if he said casually: "I see." But Prince Xiao, since the third prince already knew that he had a hidden illness, but he still had to recruit relatives, why didn't he worry about the matter being exposed? After all, this matter can't be hidden for a while, and it will eventually be known by the princess. ”

Laughing dryly, Xiao Yuqi became more and more embarrassed: "This ...... The third brother was not thoughtful and impulsive, and Bengong had already reprimanded him. But the matter has come to this point, I still hope that Princess Chu will help him once, if he can cure the hidden disease of the third brother, the palace is grateful......"

"Prince Xiao, don't say that, it's too polite."

Luo Qingluan smiled, looking at the ginseng in his palm and couldn't put it down: "To tell the truth, even for the sake of this thousand-year-old ginseng, I agreed." Although there is some trouble, the hidden disease of the third prince is not untreatable, and it just takes more effort. ”

Xiao Yuqi immediately stood up and arched his hand at Luo Qingluan: "Then thank you Princess Chu, the first third brother of the palace thanks you." ”

"By the way, do you want the palace to immediately send someone to find the third brother and let the princess of Chu show him? After all, this matter is still urgent, and it can be cured as soon as possible, otherwise it will really be known by His Majesty Xichu, and I am afraid that it will ...... then."

More and more felt that Xiao Yuqi took care of Xiao Tianci, quite the demeanor of an eldest brother, Luo Qingluan said lightly: "Since I have received Prince Xiao's gift, I naturally have to hurry, but since it is a hidden disease, I need some special methods." When the third prince came back, he bothered Prince Xiao to let him come to the Chu Palace. ”

"Well, there is Princess Laochu."

After sending Luo Qingluan to the door all the time, watching her get into the carriage and go away, Xiao Yuqi turned around and went back, and said as he walked: "Go and find the third prince back immediately, and let him go to the Chu Palace." ”

Yan Wu immediately let people go, and then whispered: "Prince, why didn't you keep Princess Chu just now, and talk about another matter by the way?" ”

As soon as he walked to the steps of the second entrance, Xiao Yuqi's pace slowed slightly, and he turned his head to look at his henchman: "Don't you see that Princess Chu has something on her mind?" Today is not the time to talk about this. ”

"This ......" Yan Wu thought about the situation just now, and his face was ashamed: "The subordinates are clumsy, and they don't see anything." ”

Walking on the handrail, Xiao Yuqi's eyes were clear, "Do you think, the last time the palace went to the Chu Palace, the King of Chu and the Princess of Chu were not interested in the gifts brought by the palace, and directly declined, but this time, the Princess of Chu said that even for the sake of this thousand years of ginseng, she will also treat the third prince, you don't see her change?" ”

Seeing that Yan Wu was silent, as if he couldn't figure it out, he said in a deep voice: "Princess Chu took the initiative to come to the door, but she didn't say anything, but the palace asked her to help, isn't it the other way around?" Unless she has something to say, or is deliberately tempting us...... is to have thoughts about the marriage of the three princes and the three princesses. ”

"Anyway, she has something on her mind, but she just didn't tell Hongu."

Yan Wu immediately said: "Then, His Royal Highness the Prince, do you want to go down and inquire?" ”

Xiao Yuqi shook his head: "No, she is a smart person, alert and intelligent, if you go to spy on her and be discovered, I am afraid that it will be bad." Since she has agreed to treat the third prince, then we don't have to worry about it, if she needs the help of this palace in the future, she will naturally come again. ”

Returning to the hall and sitting down, Xiao Yuqi just took a sip of tea, and remembered something again: "By the way, you go and remind the third prince, this opportunity is rare, don't mess with Princess Chu again, you ruined the last chance, don't cry in the palace when the time comes!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness the Prince, that subordinate has gone down." Yan Wu clenched his fists and turned around to leave.

On the other hand, in the princess's mansion, Xiao Tianci remembered the rejection yesterday, and his heart was somewhat hanging.

Yesterday, he brought Dongwan's specialties and some treasures to Nangong Wan'er, just asking to meet her and talk to cultivate feelings, after all, the matter between the two has been decided, and they will be husband and wife in the future. didn't expect Nangong Wan'er to see it at all, so she directly asked people to return the gift and asked him not to bother her again.

It's easy to pass the level of recruiting relatives, where will Xiao Tianci give up?
