Steward Fu got the order, invited the fifth prince and the eleventh prince to the living room, and after ordering someone to serve tea, he went to the West Garden himself.

Hua Yan has slept too much in the past two days, although she is unwell because of Kwai Shui, but she doesn't want to sleep anymore, after lunch, she is bored, and she is thinking about what to do to pass the time, and the Fu housekeeper comes.

Steward Fu said extremely skillfully, "The Queen Mother invited His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to Ninghe Palace earlier, His Royal Highness was busy with things, and he never had time to ask the Queen Mother for peace, so the Queen Mother sent the fifth prince and the eleventh prince to sit down. Now the two highnesses have just come out of the palace. ”

Hua Yan listened to this, she was not a fool and naturally understood very well, thinking that she had been in Beijing for three or four days, and the Queen Mother sent someone to invite her twice, but she returned in vain, and the old lady couldn't see her, obviously she couldn't sit still and was in a hurry.

But she couldn't pull her face down to come to the East Palace, and asked Yun Chi to explain it, so she came up with such a compromise and let the fifth prince and the eleventh prince come to listen to the news.

Based on the fact that she owed the eleventh prince a favor to buy food in the Shunfang gambling house, it stands to reason that she shouldn't turn people away, but it's only been three or four days, and it's really not enough to make the queen mother really anxious, so since Yun Chi has something to say first, she can push it if she doesn't see her, so she can push it.

She wanted to wait for the old lady to lose her temper when she couldn't stand it, and then she would make a move, making her completely dissatisfied.

I don't know if she is so angry that she hangs herself on her neck and doesn't agree to this marriage, if Yun Chi can take a step back and agree, she has to try.

So, she lazily said to Steward Fu, "I'm not feeling well and can't see guests, you went back to the fifth prince and the eleventh prince, and I will prepare wine and food another day, and thank them for their help that day." ”

Steward Fu got the words, nodded again and again, and walked quickly.

The fifth prince and the eleventh prince didn't expect to come and didn't see anyone, not only did the prince not see them, but the princess also refused. The two glanced at each other, and they didn't force it, sat and drank two teas, got up and walked out of the East Palace.

After leaving the East Palace, the eleventh prince grabbed the sleeve of the fifth prince, "Fifth brother, I don't want to go back to the palace yet, you can take me to play!" ”

The fifth prince looked at him, "The imperial grandmother is still waiting for us to reply in the palace." ”

The eleventh prince begged, "We haven't even seen anyone, we have returned in vain, and now we can't get a good face from the imperial grandmother when we go back immediately, so it's better to go back later, at that time, the imperial grandmother has been waiting for most of the day, and she is already tired of waiting, and three or two sentences will send us away." Why rush forward and be scolded at this time? ”

The fifth prince laughed, patted him on the head, and reprimanded, "You are not afraid of the imperial grandmother, aren't you afraid that the fourth brother will know that I will take you to play again and be reprimanded?" ”

The eleventh prince glanced back, the gate of the East Palace was already closed, and he immediately said, "We are helping the fourth brother, even if he knows, he will not be reprimanded for this." ”

The Fifth Prince nodded, "Okay, where do you want to go?" ”

The eleventh prince tilted his head and thought for a while and said, "Let's go to the Jingguo Mansion to find Lu Zhiling!" I heard that he and Su Zi drank wine in the middle of the night the day before yesterday, and that wine was a drunken red face that had been sealed for five years. ”

The fifth prince thought this was a good idea and readily agreed, "Good! ”

So, the two hit it off and went to the Jingguo Mansion.

Lu Zhiling was sent back to the Jingguo Mansion by the people of the Wuwei Marquis Mansion early yesterday morning, and slept for a whole day before waking up at ten o'clock in the evening. When he woke up, he found himself sleeping in the ancestral hall in the middle of the house.

The ancestral hall was dim, and he was still wearing the same clothes he had before drinking, and a deerskin fluffy blanket was spread under him.

The ancestral hall was empty, except for the tablet that enshrined the ancestors, he was the only one who gasped.

He sat up, rubbed his forehead, and smiled dumbly, he was locked up by the old man again, although he was cruelly thrown here after drinking, but he was afraid of freezing his bones, so he spread a deerskin fluffy blanket under him.

This old man can be seen to hate and love him!

Because he can't help but love, who has let the Jingguo Mansion for three generations so far, a single lineage, only he is the only seedling!

But the ancestral hall couldn't hold him, he stood up, loosened his muscles, patted his buttocks, and jumped up to the beam. After pulling away a few tiles from the roof beam, the people left the ancestral hall and sat on the roof.

He lazily took two breaths of fresh air, re-covered the tiles, and thought about the situation in the middle of the night when he drank with Su Ziqi in the Wuwei Marquis Mansion, Su Ziqi's rare expression when he mentioned the rare expression of the crown princess who broke the gambling skills of the nine great gambling gods of the Shunfang gambling house, and made up his mind to meet her.

Although it was late, it was not very proper to sneak to the East Palace, but he didn't care about that, because there was still a princess living in the East Palace who didn't seem to know what the rules and etiquette were.

Thinking of doing it, driven by curiosity, he didn't even bother to change his clothes, avoided the guards of the Jingguo Mansion, and easily stepped on the courtyard and climbed over the wall to get out of the Jingguo Mansion.

After the fifth prince and the eleventh prince left the East Palace, they happened to meet a group of jugglers who had just entered Beijing from other places along the street, and they stayed for a while before arriving at the Jingguo Mansion.

When Jing Guogong heard that the two of them were looking for Lu Zhiling, his beard curled and shook his head, "He was locked up in the ancestral hall by me, and now he is still asleep like a drunk, so the two highnesses will come back another day." ”

The two of them were stunned for a moment, and then looked at the appearance of Jingguo Gong's hatred of iron and steel, and they all felt that it was difficult to force the family to carry people out, so they could only leave Jingguo Mansion again.

The two of them turned around for half a day, except for learning that Zhao Zaifufu had invited a very interesting juggling team to celebrate his birthday this year, they had no gain, and seeing that it was getting late, they could only go back to the palace.

The Queen Mother waited for most of the day, but she didn't see the fifth prince and the eleventh prince come back, and was just about to send someone to inquire about the news, but the two entered Ninghe Palace. When she saw the two of them, she asked dissatisfiedly, "Why have you been there for so long?" ”

The fifth prince hurriedly replied, "Back to the imperial grandmother, after I went to the East Palace with my eleventh brother, I learned that the crown princess was unwell, she was sick, and it was not easy to see guests, so I thought that I couldn't just come back, so I thought of Su Ziqi, Shunfang Gambling House is his territory, and he really dealt with the crown princess, but you also know that Su Ziqi has a perverse personality, a strange temper, and is not easy to speak, even if we go, we can't ask anything, so thinking that Lu Zhiling is good friends with him, and I drank with him for most of the night that day, I must know something, so I changed my route to the Jingguo Mansion, because it was delayed so late. ”

The Queen Mother was quite satisfied with this explanation, and she didn't blame it, and immediately asked, "What did Lu Zhiling say?" ”

The fifth prince sighed, "Lu Zhiling was drunk, and after being carried back from the Wuwei Hou Mansion, he was thrown into the ancestral hall by Jing Guogong, who said that he was still drunk and not awake. ”

The Queen Mother frowned, "So it's useless?" ”

The eleventh prince hurriedly answered, "Returning to the emperor's grandmother, it is not in vain, we went from the East Palace to the Jingguo Mansion on the way, we met the juggling team from other places into Beijing, after entering from the city gate, walking along the street while acting, very novel." It is said that Miss Zhao heard that her father was going to Zhao Zaifu's Mansion this year to join in the fun, and specially ordered someone to invite her into Beijing, so she thought, will you also go to Zhao Zaifu's Mansion to sit at that time? ”

The Queen Mother sighed deeply when she heard this, "Zhao Qingxi is such a good woman, gentle and virtuous, and filial piety, but Yun Chi didn't choose her, and she flipped it casually, and she decided on Lin'an." Not to mention that the Hua family has been inactive for several generations, a corner of Lin'an, on the door, it is not as good as Zhao Zaifu's mansion on the lintel of the family, on the appearance of individual talents, even if the mourning family has not seen the flower face, they also know that she dares to go to the Shunfang gambling house, she must not understand the boudoir etiquette, does not abide by the boudoir training, and has no reputation for learning the character over the years, and Zhao Qingxi is in the sky and underground. ”

The fifth prince and the eleventh prince glanced at each other, Qi Qi didn't speak, but secretly thought that compared with Zhao Zaifu's mansion, the Lin'an Hua family was indeed poor, Huayan was compared with Zhao Qingxi, and the boudoir was indeed poor, but they didn't think it was easy to say.

Such a woman, whose gambling skills are the best in the world, is obviously an extremely smart person, and her talent will definitely not be bad. On that day, she treated people casually, not rude in words and smiles, shallow and pleasant, and not arrogant, which shows that she is not a tasteless person.

On that day, she wore a long skirt of blue silk brocade, the tail dragged the floor, the skirt was embroidered with a few winding bellflowers, and her body was delicate. Snow skin and flowers, beautiful and beautiful, beautiful and graceful.

Although Miss Zhao's appearance is good, she is the best in Kyoto, but compared to her beautiful face, they feel that she is afraid that it is slightly worse.
