"What's so happy? You know the results. Cheng Cheng said angrily.

"Nothing. Your man got lucky to beat me today. The monk said helplessly, "Oh, I've seen Her Royal Highness." He stood up and bowed to the princess.

"Uncle Bi." The princess nodded to the monk and sat down on the stone bench.

"Cut, nonsense, look at you sweating profusely, and don't go to wash." Cheng Cheng also sat on the empty stone bench with a big grin, but he still didn't know why, so he took out a handkerchief casually, and naturally wiped the sweat on Qi Feng's forehead. It made the prince very excited.

Xiao Cui stood behind the princess and looked left and right. "The chief guard has gone to arrange breakfast, and it will be there in a moment." The monk looked at Xiao Cui's looking left and right and said with a smile. In the past few days, the three of them have been fighting with the palace hotly, especially Xiaocui and Li Mu's living treasure.

"Well, what kind of fruit is this? It's kind of like an orange. Why is the skin so thick. Cheng Cheng casually picked up a beautiful fruit with a luster orange color on the table and asked. Is it an orange? ”

"It's an orange, it's a rarity. I haven't seen it. Li Mu led the servants and brought breakfast.

"Hmph." Cheng Cheng glared at him.

"It's something from America, and people who sail the seas don't need it." Li Mu said.

"And how do you eat this thing?" Xiao Cui asked curiously.

"Just gnaw on it, and that's how our sailors eat." Li Mu said with a wicked smile.

"Look at you like that, you know you're lying to us again." Cheng Cheng said dissatisfied.

"Oh, the captain of the guard is not lying nonsense, this is how the voyagers eat." The monk held back a smile and pretended to be calm.

"It's better than what the Earl said." The princess sneered.

"Look at your expressions, it's weird, it's not a partnership to lie to me." Cheng Cheng glanced at Qi Feng in disbelief, and saw that guy, picked up an orange and opened his mouth to bite it, and the juice full of sweet and sour fragrance squirted out, looking at the guy's expression of enjoyment, well, that's right. Without hesitation, she opened her mouth and took a bite of the orange in her hand, and the astringent juice immediately choked her and spit out the flesh in her mouth. "You ...... You have colluded with me. ”

"Hahaha......" Except for Xiao Cui, those unscrupulous guys all laughed back and forth. Xiao Cui pinched Li Mu's ears and said angrily: "I'm hurting people again." ”

"Don't, don't, it hurts...... ...... pain," Li Mu exclaimed exaggeratedly.

Cheng Cheng also pinched Qi Feng's ears here, "Tell you to harm me, I won't come tomorrow." ”

"Ah...... Yes...... I didn't lie to you, they only said that seafarers eat like this, but they didn't say how ordinary people eat. Qi Feng shouted.

"This ordinary person eats only meat when it is cut, and it is eaten in the same way as oranges. Hehe......" the princess laughed.

"Really, my sister also partnered with them to bully me." Cheng Cheng puffed out his mouth.

"Did you not hear clearly?" The bhikshu took out a silver knife, cut an orange into four pieces, and distributed them to the people.

"Hmph. You're the worst. Looking at the cut orange, Cheng Cheng didn't dare to taste it immediately. I saw the princess elegantly pull open a corner of the orange peel, gently tear off the orange peel, and then eat the orange flesh. She just learned to eat the orange flesh.

"Well, it's delicious, it's much better than the oranges in Shonan." Cheng Cheng exclaimed.

"What? My cousin also has a business in America now? The princess asked with a smile.

"Oh yes." Qi Feng said with a smile.

"Is that it?" The princess asked, holding the orange peel.

"No, it's tobacco and opium." Qi Feng cut another orange and gave it to Cheng Cheng and the princess.

"Hehe......" The princess took the orange and smiled at Qi Feng.

"I know tobacco, but what is opium?" Cheng Cheng asked curiously.

"It is a powerful medicine for pain relief and sedation, and it is very useful on the battlefield." The princess explained.

"Your Highness is really knowledgeable." An imperceptible smirk appeared at the corner of the monk's mouth.

"What? How dare they do that? "Lao Xiangguo said angrily when he saw the list of tomorrow's Zhang Bang who passed the literary test." This second Zhao Liang, even if they give it to the kid of Sima Ang's family, how can they have to rank the top five for others, how can they be considered to be on the list! ”

"I guess they took bribes from too many people, and there were no vacancies. Ay...... Look at the sons of Wang Shuai, who don't know any big characters, all of them are in the top ten. Alas......" Hu Wenzheng sighed.

"Have you ever recovered Zhao Liang's person?" Lao Xiangguo asked.

Hu Wenzheng shook his head and sighed again, "I went to the official post house in the morning, but Zhao Liang heard out of nowhere that he had fallen off the list, and he had left Beijing by boat a day ago to return to Lingnan. ”

"Hey...... If this person has a grudge against the empire, it will become a catastrophe for the empire in the future. Alas......" the old Xiangguo sighed regretfully, "these thieves who have misled the country! ”

It's night, somewhere in the capital.

"Well, that's good, except for Otohime's business, everything else is going according to the pre-arrangement, hum......" The man dropped another piece on the chessboard.

"However, according to Master Li's secret report, that Hu Tianshi's whereabouts are still unknown, and the black dragon array seems to have been broken by someone. According to Lord Li, King Liao's convoy happened to pass there that day. The kneeling man said.

"It's a pity that this black dragon array has been prepared for ten years, and it has taken a lot of twists and turns to find the girl in that year! Qi Feng, King of Liao, how many secrets do you have? I don't believe that you robbed the caravan, slaughtered the Black Wind Cliff, and worshiped Jinju, which is useless. The man muttered to himself with hatred. However, since you have come to the capital by throwing yourself into the net, you are just the meat on my board, and it is impossible for you to return to your Liaodong alive. ”

"Now I'm keeping an eye on the Liao Wangfu." The man said to the man on his knees.

"Yes, sir." The kneeling man replied.

A day ago, standing on the boat about to leave the shore, Zhao Liang, the captain of the Lingnan Naval Division, grudged the pole on the bow of the ship, looked at the outline of the majestic imperial city in the distance, and said hatefully: "When I return to the capital one day, the city will definitely be full of golden armor!" ”

This is a figure who stirred up the empire as soon as the empress ascended the throne in the future and almost brought down the Great Xia Dynasty, but in fact, he was also an aspiring young man full of sky-high ambitions at first.

I don't know if it was the retribution of the prince's family who killed him in the early palace battle, although Emperor Xia Shangguan has worked hard in the harem for decades, many concubines, beauties and even palace maids, but except for Queen Qi who gave birth to a girl to him eighteen years ago, no prince and princess have ever been born. As the years continued to grow old, the question of the prince of the empire was now the biggest problem before him.
