In the bright room of the back hall of Qingwang's Mansion, there is a square table with yellow pear pattern against the wall, on which a three-foot-high Nanwu Tibetan Bodhisattva is enshrined, and the flowers and candlesticks are flourishing.

Eight ebony marble-inlaid hexagonal armchairs on both sides of the side, the chairs are spaced with lotus leaf six-legged incense tables, in addition to the hot tea cups, what can attract Shunyu's attention is the boxy eight drawers, which are divided into fresh water chestnuts, water chestnuts, tender lotus seeds, walnut grains, sugar jujubes, sweet olives and plum and apricot fruits, each drawer is a little, but looking at the sweet relish, Shen Zetang picked up a dried apricot and sent it to her lips, seeing that Shun Yu almost ate his fingers, some couldn't help laughing.

Suddenly, I heard the loud voice of the princess to celebrate, and there was a crisp sound of skirt rings, and I saw a group of maids hugging a person stepping into the threshold, although the person's appearance was not delicate, but he was upright and generous, with pearls and greens on his head, wearing colorful cloud crane makeup satin placket with large sleeves, white gauze trimmed skirt, and a pair of red-faced and gold-rimmed embroidered shoes, which would not be exposed as he walked.

Qing Wang Zhu Qian is less than twenty years old, and this Qing princess looks similar to Shen Erye's age.

In my previous life, I heard Zhu Yu occasionally mention this seventeen emperor uncle, and the imperial concubine he married was a palace maid who served beside him, and she never saw her, but she never thought that she would have fate in this life.

Quietly watching her walk to the chair and sit decently, Shen Zetang had already gotten up and stepped forward, and Shun Yu didn't dare to slack off and follow behind.

Princess Qing smiled, and spoke politely: "The magpie on the branch is chirping in the morning, which noble person is I saying, it turns out to be Shen Ge Lao, I haven't seen you for three years, but I haven't changed at all, you see that I am old?" ”

Shun Yu was secretly surprised, if such words came from the mouth of the woman next to her, it would seem a little frivolous, but she said it so naturally, but it didn't make people feel evil.

Shen Zetang said gently: "Three years is just a snap of a finger, and the princess's face is still the same. ”

Princess Qing shook her head, squinting her eyes and leaning back over his shoulder: "Who is hiding behind Shen Ge Lao, don't you bring it to me." “

Shen Zetang smiled: "Jiu'er is a little delicate, if the etiquette is not careful, please take care of the princess." ”

Princess Qing rarely saw him like this, and her tone was a little surprised: "I'm not making it difficult for anyone to see him, why are you nervous." ”

Shen Zetang didn't want to say more, turned around and grabbed Shunyu's hand, and instructed in a low voice: "Princess Qing is generous, don't be afraid, I'm here." ”

Shun Yu didn't quite understand the meaning of his words, what was she afraid of, she could say a few more words, if she didn't agree, she didn't say anything.

Is it possible that she is afraid that she will be wronged and cry her nose....... It's a little funny to think about it, and deliberately scratches his palm, and then he pulls out his hand and walks to Princess Qing, but he is also calm: "Feng Jiu has seen the princess Niangniang." Then she performed a big bow and began to worship, and she did this set of rituals in the palace very handy.

Princess Qing ordered Shun Yu to get up, saw her standing beside her with low eyebrows and lowered eyes, and looked at her carefully, and then smiled at Shen Zetang: "This is the daughter of an official family in Beijing, she is very well educated, and her appearance is also handsome, which is more painful than your previous wife." ”

She asked Shun Yu again, "What's your last name?" Are you in your teens this year? Hearing the reply, his surname is Feng, he is only seventeen this year, and then he looked at Shen Zetang and said: "It's much younger than you, I'm afraid that I will be arrogant and difficult, and I won't be empathetic, but you have to live a hard life." “

Shen Zetang smiled and didn't say anything, she didn't ask any more, they each returned to their original chairs and sat down, chatting and chatting before eating a cup of tea, a steward hurriedly came to report, seeing Shen Zetang and a few others present, his face showed hesitation, Princess Qing only said that it was okay, and he replied: "Commander Chen of the British Mansion came to ask for a meeting." “

Princess Qing sighed and agreed, and when the steward left, Shen Zetang asked in a deep voice: "But the British Gong Chen Yan's mansion?" ”

Princess Qing bowed her head: "There is a mansion of Duke Chen here, two young masters came to live here a few days ago, and the prince always provokes them, I am afraid that this time it is not good." ”

was talking, but listening to the sound of the curtain, the commander surnamed Chen was led by the steward to Princess Zhiqing to greet the salute, and he saw a lot of them, and he didn't talk much nonsense, and got straight to the point: "Today, the prince took the guards to hide outside the door of the mansion, and took advantage of the laxity of the guards in the mansion to loot the fourth young master to Jingui Alley, tear his straight jacket, take off his underwear, and want to forcibly do something wrong, fortunately the eldest young master arrived in time, although a disaster was avoided, the fourth young master was frightened and had a high fever, if this situation is presented to the lord of the capital, I am afraid that the royal face will not be protected, The princess is the most reasonable, and the eldest young master sent it down and asked Niangniang how she planned to deal with this ugly matter? ”

"Your eldest young master is the most resourceful, he must have thought of a solution, you just say it." Princess Qing's tone was very calm, and she was not surprised.

The envoy waved and said: "The eldest young master of my family wants five hundred taels of silver, so this incident has never happened." ”

Princess Qing was also very happy, and ordered the steward to take him to the account room to withdraw the silver.

However, the steward was a little reluctant and hesitant: "This is the third ...... this month." “

But seeing that the master's eyes were glazed, he didn't dare to say more, and led the people to leave in a hurry.

For a while, everyone didn't know what to say, and after a while, Princess Qing was finally a little unhappy: "General Chen prides himself on treating money like dung, but this young master is full of calculations, and the prince is being played by him." “

Shen Zetang gave the peeled water chestnut to Shunyu, took the wet cotton towel handed by the attendant to wipe his hands, thought about it and said lightly: "What can be solved with silver money is nothing." Fortunately, I didn't meet Chen Sheng, the seventh son of the British government, ...... He suddenly changed his words: "Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, Xu Bingyong controls the cabinet, the vassal kings are not peaceful, the king of Zhou was sent to Shu for the crime of 'greed and cruelty', the king of Min was demoted to the common people for 'lawlessness', the king of Xiang was falsely accused of rebellion and set himself on fire, and the king of Hao in Pingnan, the king of Qi in Shandong and the king of Qing in Luoyang, so eventful, I hope that the prince will be cautious in his words and deeds, and it is not appropriate to cause trouble." “

Princess Qing's face turned pale when she heard this, and she asked the maid who was fanning her side upset: "It's getting late outside, why hasn't the prince returned yet?" Where is he now? ”

The maid had to go out of the hall, and with a little effort, she brought in a guard with a knife, but the guard's sweat beads were too late to wipe it, and she knelt down and said urgently: "The prince has been in Jingu Lane for a whole day, but he refuses to go home." ”

"Why is that?"

The guard continued: "I heard the prince say that when I met a young master in Jingu Lane, he was more heartfelt than the fourth young master of the Chen family, and he pestered him to take him back to the house to play, so the young master said that he had to pick up the food he bought at the restaurant, and gave the prince a pack of lotus incense powder as collateral, and he said that it was too good to be scattered." The prince is the most trustworthy person, so he naturally has to wait until the young master comes back before he is willing to leave. “

Shun Yu was choked by a tender lotus seed, beat his chest twice, pulled Shen Erye's sleeve, pointed to his throat, and rolled his eyes.

Shen Zetang instantly understood, handed over a cup of tea, she didn't care about the heat, so she poured two sips in a row.

"Goodong" lotus seeds went into his stomach, and Shun Yu took a big breath and came back to life.
