If King Xingping only believed in Sheng Xiuyi's words for three points at the beginning, he now believes in seven points.

The mother and son may really be in his hands.

No one dared to ask for the money of King Xingping for no reason.

Even if it is the prince of the courtier's family, he is prosperous.

It's just that how did the people who stayed in Qingyuan County and sent a few people to protect them end up in Sheng Xiuyi's hands?

King Xingping couldn't help but look at Sheng Xiuyi, and his eyes couldn't help but be warn and suspicious.

Sheng Xiuyi also looked at King Xingping, waiting for his answer to his request to seek an official position, his eyes clear. When he encountered the eyes of a falcon like King Xingping, he only frowned slightly, and he did not see any panic and confusion.

It wasn't Sheng Xiuyi who did it, otherwise he wouldn't be so honest and fearless!

King Xingping got the conclusion in his heart, and he withdrew his gaze.

Most of his businesses are shady, and to control these businesses and people, you need to be more shady and fierce than them. King Xingping has always been skilled in self-defeating people, no matter how slippery the old rivers and lakes are, he can't escape his forced gaze, let alone a son like Sheng Xiuyi who has never seen the world?

King Xingping's evaluation of Sheng Xiuyi in his heart did not change because of the victory of his trip to the northwest. He, like many people, suspected that Sheng Wenhui was secretly playing tricks, and sent capable protégés and staff members to help Sheng Xiuyi, making him famous in one fell swoop. And it is not the credit of Sheng Xiuyi.

Everyone's impression of him is still that he is so mediocre, ordinary, and even a little afraid of his father, and there is no young vitality of the Sheng family, not a hero for a while.

King Xingping's expression relaxed, poured wine for Sheng Xiuyi, and said: "Tianhe, you know that it is the person who went out of my mansion, and giving it back to me is my affection, and I will thank you!" Yin Yanzhi is a bit pedantic, not good at officialdom calculations, I have the heart to help him, but I am afraid of harming him, so I want to keep him for a few more years. Even if you don't have it, I'll give you face. ”

Sheng Xiuyi laughed and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang." Then he said, "A few days ago, I returned to Beijing and gave Fang Yantai to Brother Yan, and he invited me back to have a drink." A little drunk, I inadvertently talked about the hesitation of these years. It is also his lifelong wish to learn literature and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family. Hesitant and bitter in my heart. The prince has the heart to fulfill him, please be a little more obscure, and give him some dignity Xingping Wang smiled: "This Tianhe can rest assured." I promise you with all my mouth, and I will not lose my word. ”

After eating a meal until the end of the day, Sheng Xiuyi staggered home.

Sitting in the carriage, his slowly drunk state suddenly disappeared, his eyes were clear and bright, and he said to Laifu: "It's done!" Then he smiled knowingly.

Ever since he started looking for this woman and the child, even if he saw the child with his own eyes, Sheng Xiuyi had never raised his eyebrows and smiled like this. Until this moment, his set is not completed, and someone will naturally sing for him in the next good show.

When Laifu heard him say that it was done, he smiled happily and asked him with a smile: "Lord Shizi, I personally went to take their mother and son to send them to King Xingping, right?" ”

"No!" Sheng Xiuyi smiled, "When we were eating, I told the king of Xingping where he was. He called the steward halfway to speak, but he was afraid that now the person was already in the Xingping Palace. ”

Rifle bowed slightly.

Sheng Xiuyi took out the silver ticket and gave it to him, saying, "The old place still exists." ”

Laifu looked at the silver ticket, counted it, was slightly dumbfounded, and said with a smile: "Lord Shizi, we didn't earn anything on this trip!" We spent more than 30,000 taels. ”

Sheng Xiuyi laughed, with unprecedented pleasure and presumptuousness in his voice: "You want money as a master?" ”

Rifle eyes are confused.

"I don't want money!" Sheng Xiuyi said with a smile. But I didn't want to lose money and make money, so I got the 30,000 taels back. ”

Although Laifu was puzzled, he didn't ask again as stupidly as Lai'an.

Isn't it a loss to make money?

Laifu didn't know what the master wanted, and it took so much effort.

"If we give people to the Hou Ye or send them to the palace ourselves, we will naturally offend King Xingping." Sheng Xiuyi said with a smile, "Even if it is given to Old Marquis Xue, King Xingping will have doubts about us sooner or later." In this case, it is better to give it to him, and let him enter the palace himself to ask for a reward. ”

Rifle nodded.

Sheng Xiuyi was indeed a little drunk, so he didn't say anything more, and closed his eyes slightly.

Get along with people and focus on the heart.

Many powerful people in Kyoto do shady business, King Xingping, Yongningbo, everyone knows it. And the one who made a lot of money in secret was Sheng Xiuyi.

He himself acted in secret, and he did not dare to offend King Xingping.

Sheng Xiuyi's thoughts turned back to the singer.

That singer used to be the most outstanding in the Xingping Palace, with a tactful singing voice and three days around the beam; With a rich face and a graceful body, there are always men who fall into her smile.

King Xingping didn't give anyone it, just let this singer be famous Jinghua, and her reputation was getting dryer, just waiting for the last big fish to take the bait.

At that time, Emperor Yuanchang, who was still the crown prince, finally came to visit, fell in love with this singer, and stayed for her.

It's just that at that time, the first emperor listened to the words of Taifu Xiao, and he was harsh on the prince's words and deeds, and the concubines and two Liangdi in his house were all older than him.

When Xue Guifei and Sheng Guifei entered the prince's mansion, they were two years older than the prince.

The crown princess was three years older than him.

At first, he was young, and women older than him were very interesting, and he liked them. It's just that later, when I grew older, I also loved some young, gorgeous and charming women. But what kind of woman does he marry in the prince's mansion, he can't be the master.

If he dares to marry a singer, the Xiao family of the Prince's Mansion will dare to make a fuss, and even let Mrs. Xiao know. And if Mrs. Xiao knows, the first emperor will know, and Emperor Yuanchang will rarely be scolded.

He liked the singer, but he didn't dare to take it back, so he had to keep it in the Xingping Palace.

During those days, the crown prince and the king of Xingping were very close, although they hid from the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, Sheng Xiuyi had heard about it from the trail.

Two months later, the prince visited the Xingping Mansion every day, and it finally spread and reached the ears of Mrs. Xiao. Mrs. Xiao sternly admonished, saying that the king of Xingping was arrogant and lascivious, and would bring the prince badly, and forbade the prince to go to the palace of Xingping again.

Maybe he was afraid of annoying the first emperor, or it could be that the freshness of the singer had passed, and Emperor Yuanchang never stepped into the mansion of King Xingping.

Later, it was Yin Yanzhi's drunken gaffe, saying that the singer had the flesh and blood of the new emperor and was a fat prince. However, King Xingping was afraid that Taifu Xiao would not allow such a lowly prince to exist, and would murder the prince, and even implicate the Xingping Palace, so he hid the child and waited for him to really hold the power in his hands, and then hand over the child.

So as to curry favor with Emperor Yuanchang.

King Xingping has spent so much effort for this prince, how can he let others seize the opportunity?

Sheng Xiuyi deliberately came to the door and told King Xingping that he had been hiding from Emperor Yuanchang, but in fact, Emperor Yuanchang had long known the existence of this child in his heart. He doesn't say it, it's just that he can't be the master. If the power is finally in his hands today, how can he let the prince be left behind by the people?

Is there anything in the heart of King Xingping who is not afraid?

It's just that Baba will send the child in earlier!

When this child entered the palace, Sheng Xiuyi wanted to know what his father, Marquis Sheng Chang, would think, and what His Majesty would think!

And a shrewd person like Old Marquis Xue will naturally add fuel to the fire and crown the pearl of the sea that Emperor Yuanchang said on the head of this prince. Emperor Yuanchang does not forget his heirs, his love for his husband will be praised by the world, right?

At that time, Emperor Yuanchang was difficult to ride a tiger, so he had to recognize this child!

This is the result that Sheng Xiuyi wants most.

Of course, if it is still sent by their mansion or the Xue mansion, it may be more certain that this matter will be achieved. But he couldn't do that.

Whether it is sent by the Sheng family or the Xue family, it will offend King Xingping.

And King Xingping has always been greedy and ruthless, and he only takes advantage of it and does not suffer losses. He lost the prince and the singer, so naturally he wanted to investigate, and if Yin Yanzhi had seen Sheng Xiuyi, he would be found out.

King Xingping would rather kill by mistake than let go, Yin Yan's life is worried, and Sheng Xiuyi will also become the object of King Xingping's suspicion, and he will definitely try his best to investigate him.

If his business is found out, it will not be beneficial to him or the Shengchang Marquis Mansion.

Whether it was for his friends or for self-preservation, it was impossible for Sheng Xiuyi to take the prince to invite him now, knowing that this matter was profitable, he still gave it to King Xingping. According to King Xingping's character that things must be weighed in value, Sheng Xiuyi gave him such a good thing, and his doubts about Sheng Xiuyi's self-directed and self-acting would be reduced. And Sheng Xiuyi didn't shy away from talking about Yin Yanzhi, so King Xingping naturally wouldn't suspect Yin Yanzhi.

The more obvious it is, the more it is overlooked.

This is called the virtual is the real, and the real is the virtual.

If Sheng Xiuyi can't do this thing well, how can he talk about being ambitious?

Now, if you pick it up yourself, you won't bother your friends, and you can even get an official position for your friends; also lifted the crisis in Dongyi, Sheng Xiuyi's mood was very good.

After returning to the Shengchang Marquis's Mansion, he went straight back to the inner courtyard.

In a very good mood, he hugged Dongyu and talked for a long time, and teased the child again.

Before he washed, he lay on the bed in Dongyu, hugging her and talking.

Only the outer garment was taken off.

After drinking, he had not had sex for a long time, and he was obviously talking seriously, but his body involuntarily warmed up, and when he was holding Dongyi, the huge body of his lower body was on Dongyi's waist and abdomen through his clothes.

Dong Yu was extremely embarrassed.

There was no way he could enter her now.

Besides, Dong Ying had just given birth to a child for more than ten days, and she was too weak to serve him, no matter what other way she used.

He saw Dongyi's embarrassment, and he felt uncomfortable, so he said, "I'll go to Tao tonight." ”

Dong Yu was thinking about what to do, he suddenly said this, she paused, and said with a smile: "Let Honglian serve you to change your clothes." ”

Sheng Xiuyi got up and dressed, looked at the chiming bell on the wall, and went to Tao's room for a moment.

On the other side of the bed, there was still the residual warmth he left, and Dong Yu reached out and touched it, and somewhere in his heart was very empty.

She snuggled up to the warmth and didn't move for a long time.
