Chu Nian frowned slightly, and saw the young man take a few steps forward, bend down and pick up a piece of jade pendant on the ground and hand it to the maid beside Xi Chu Luqing, "What you just dropped, I don't want anyone to think that I stole it." ”

Xi Chu Lu Qing looked at the young man inexplicably, and saw that the young man turned around, hid behind Chu Nian again, and looked at Chu Nian with an innocent face, and at this moment Chu Nian was looking at him suspiciously, seeing a touch of cunning in his eyes, and then a trace of understanding flashed in his eyes.

Ming Xiu frowned slightly, startling the stunned Xichu Lu Qing's body suddenly trembled, and finally left in a hurry surrounded by his maids.

At this moment, the onlookers were discussing, Chu Nian looked sideways at the young man behind him, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "This is not the place to talk, let's talk in another place?" ”

The young man was full of innocent stalls, and his wrist was grabbed by Chu Nian, and the young man who was pulled away by Chu Nian had a complicated face, shook his head and said: "Sister, don't pull me, I will leave by myself, you wait for me and ...... Forget it, you don't have to. ”

Chu Nian walked in front, looking back at the young man behind him who was reluctantly led by him, as if he was smiling, until the three of them walked into the alley, completely avoiding the strange gazes of the onlookers, Chu Nian lowered his eyes and looked at his waist.

"Can you give me back my things?"

Seeing this scene, the young man was stunned, and then he laughed as if he remembered something, took out Chu Nian's short blade from his arms, and returned it to Chu Nian's hand, seeing Chu Nian carefully carry the short blade into his arms again, Ming Xiu's face looked a little better, and he saw the young man on the side innocently said: "Then can I leave now?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the unequaled county lord? ”

As he spoke, the young man bypassed Chu Nian's body, and he didn't wait for Chu Nian to speak and planned to leave on his own, but Chu Nian obviously didn't have the idea of telling him to leave, and the young man just walked to the mouth of the alley, and felt a big hand pull the back of his neck, and then, his body took off uncontrollably, and was thrown back in front of Chu Nian by Ming Xiu.

The young man looked up a little stunned, and saw Chu Nian's face with a bit of playful abuse, as well as Ming Xiu's expressionless face, his eyes rolled in his sockets, and he said: "The great favor of the unequaled county lord will naturally be repaid if it is not small, but now that the small one has nothing, it is naturally impossible to repay the favor, is it possible that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Wushuang county lord do not plan to let the little one leave?" ”

Chu Nian raised his eyebrows slightly, at this point, the young man looked like he had been wronged, "What is the county lord doing, is it possible that he is like the fat woman in Fang Cai, coveting my beauty......"

As soon as these words fell, he got a murderous look from Ming Xiu, and the young man shrank for a moment, and then saw Chu Nian smile with a smile, "You all know that I am the unequaled county lord...... Naturally, I know that I am definitely not a person with a small belly. ”

Seeing Chu Nian's smile, the young man's body shrank again, and then saw Chu Nian leaning closer and said, "Anyway, how are you going to repay the favor?" Also, the jade pendant just now was not picked up by you at all, but stolen by you......"

"County Lord, the little one knows that he is wrong." The young man's face was dejected and said: "The little one has no choice, so I have practiced this skill of stealing, and there is still a disabled person to take care of at home......"

"Disabled?" Chu Nian raised his eyebrows, and Ming Xiu's expression moved slightly, and at this time, he saw Chu Nian grinning and took out a pair of drawing paper from his arms and put it in front of the young man's eyes, "What did you say, but such a disabled person?" ”

The young man's face was stunned, and when he saw the Liang Palace Master in the painting, he showed a blank expression, "You Da Liang people, what are you looking for my master......" The young man suddenly became vigilant, glared at Chu Nian angrily and said: "No, I don't know this person......"

Looking at Shang Chu Nian's smiling eyes, the young man's voice weakened, "No, no...... How do you know ......"

"Your master?" Sure enough, his gaze shifted from the young man's somewhat stunned face to his waist, where there was a jade pendant that was very inconsistent with the coarse linen clothes worn by the young man, and a unicorn on the jade pendant was lifelike, Chu Nian bent down, and took advantage of the young man's head to hold his head and shrink, and raised the unicorn jade pendant slightly, "I've seen this thing, in ...... In a painting of a friend of mine. ”

This "friend" is naturally the Fifth Princess, the little guy doesn't know where to know such detailed information, on one of the paintings, there is such a special appearance of the unicorn jade pendant, because there are very few reddish-brown blood-like things on the unicorn jade pendant, so Chu Nian was impressed after just one glance.

The young man's face was stunned, and he saw Chu Nian's face suddenly serious, and he looked at the young man in front of him solemnly: "I have something important to ask the Liang Palace Master for help, can you introduce me for me?" ”

"This ...... I ......" seemed to understand that he couldn't hide it anymore, and the young man said: "If the master doesn't see the guest, it's useless for you to look for me." ”

Chu Nian frowned, glanced at Ming Xiu with his side eyes, and at this time, he suddenly saw the young man looking behind Chu Nian with a frightened expression, "You, why are you here!" ”

That delicate little face was a miserable white color, so Chu Nian and Ming Xiu also had to believe it, Chu Nian frowned and turned his eyes, and suddenly there was a breeze on his side, and when the two of them came back to their senses, the young man also went around the corner and disappeared.

Chu Nian sighed silently, "I actually told him to run away." ”

Ming Xiu's thin lips pursed, but he didn't speak, at this stall, Xi Chu Yueling came out from behind, "I saw you two coming out of the alley from afar, what do you see?" ”

Chu Nian said helplessly: "I just caught a young man and said that he was the apprentice of the Liang Palace Master, but now he is told to run away." ”

"Liang Palace Master's apprentice?" Xi Chu Yue Ling looked at Chu Nian with suspicious eyes, "The craftsmanship of the Liang Palace Master refuses to be passed on, how can he recruit apprentices?" ”

When these words fell, he saw Chu Nian frowning slightly, and turned his eyes to look at the direction where the young man disappeared. ”

Between the glances, Chu Nian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned his eyes to look at Xi Chu Yueling, "Have you heard, Xuan Mo Tang?" ”

"Xuanmo Hall?" Xi Chu Yue Ling glanced at Chu Nian inexplicably, shook his head lightly and said, "But what kind of shop?" In the past few years, a lot of shops have opened in the city, and I can't care about this. ”

Chu Nian thought for a while before raising his eyes to look at Xi Chu Yue Ling and said, "Run?" ”

……

"Who are they looking for, you say?" Xichu Lu Ning stood in the garden, frowning slightly and looking at the woman in black kneeling on the ground, and saw that the woman nodded lightly.

"I was wandering around the city all day, and when I saw the sugar man stall, I showed the painting of the five princesses to the stall owner of the sugar man, but in the afternoon, I happened to bump into Yuan Niang."

"Qing'er?" Hearing that the woman deliberately mentioned Xichu Luqing, Xichu Luning was a little surprised and said, "What's the matter?" ”

I saw that the guard had a sad face, and after a while, his eyes were complicated: "At that time, Yuan Niang was grabbing a young man, preparing to take people back to be male pets, but was stopped by the unequaled county lord......"

"What? She ran out again? Who gave permission? ”

"I give permission." A figure slowly walked in from outside the door, Xichu Lu Ning was about to get angry, and when he saw the person coming, his face suddenly shriveled, and he was not satisfied with the past and said arrogantly: "Princess, why are you here......"

The man was tall, dressed in a colorful brocade robe, with a slender neck, black hair draped casually over his shoulders, thick eyebrows, narrow peach blossom eyes, a tall nose bridge, snow-white skin like jade, and thin lips.

At this moment, he was condescendingly looking at Xichu Luning in front of him.

"Since the prince of Da Liang came to Beijing, the prince has locked up his concubines and Qing'er in the backyard, do you remember how many days he has locked us up? A few days ago, I heard that the prince came over and forcibly destroyed a flower field for his concubine - did the prince remember that you said in person that you would take care of the beloved flower field for your concubine? ”

A trace of discomfort flashed in Xichu Lu Ning's eyes, but he greeted him with a smile, stretched out his hand to hold the arm of the fourth princess and said, "Ah Yan is really good-looking when she is angry, don't worry, this king will ask someone to rebuild the flower field in a few days, okay?" ”

The face of the fourth princess is still not very good-looking, at this stall, he was supported by Xichu Lu Ning and sat down on the Taishi chair at the top, "You are not unclear about the current situation, although there is Gao Chen Palace Master in the palace, but at the moment, we still have to win over the prince Da Liang for Xiao Yu'er, right?" It's not like you don't know what that girl is like Qing'er......"

"Huh? What do concubines know? The fourth princess suddenly changed her face, and her handsome face was extremely ugly, "The concubine should know that the prince has been indifferent to the concubine since he married the concubine, and finally Qing'er was born, and the princess's face looked better on the concubine, and he cheated all the military power of the Gao Chen family from the concubine's hands. ”

Xichu Lu Ning's face turned a little colder, but he still coaxed patiently: "No, I'm not in charge of Lord Gao Chen?" When did I cheat the Gao Chen family's military power out of your hands? Besides, I'm not here for the good of Gao Chen's family......"

"For the good of Gao Chen's family?" The fourth princess sneered, and her thin lips raised a slightly uncomfortable arc, "I'm afraid that the prince doesn't want to ascend the throne himself, and when the time comes, he will simply bring his brother who was originally in the empress's harem back to the mansion, so that he can sit and enjoy the blessings of all people." ”

"How can you...... Ay. Xichu Lu Ning's face was helpless, "Come on, send the fourth princess back." ”

The maid on the side hesitated for a while, responded in a low voice, and then stepped forward and made a gesture of invitation to the four princesses, but the four princesses raised their eyes and looked at Xichu Luning with a smile, "I'll tell you, even if Qing'er gets into trouble today, if you dare to touch a single hair of her, I will definitely make all your ugly things to the court, and see what you have to fight with the empress!" ”

Xichu Lu Ning's face sank suddenly, and his eyes looked at the guards on the side coldly, "Don't take him down quickly!" ”

The guard didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the arms of the fourth princess, the four princesses couldn't break free, so they had to follow the guard step by step, while looking back at Xichu Luning, who turned his back, his voice was cold and hard, "Xichu Luning, you'd better be kind to our father and daughter, otherwise, I ......"
