Chapter 64: Let the Storm Strike More Violently
The folk customs of Nancheng are still somewhat different from Xiaocheng, and on the streets of Nancheng, there are silk and satin jade crowns and gold pendants everywhere, and the shops on the street are more dense.
Tao Yaoyao's eyes were almost looking for handsome guys, and she found that the men here were more weak, different from most of the tall and strong in Beigao, and the varieties here would even wear some satin robes with cinnamon and lotus, which had a more feminine taste.
"What are Zhao'er looking for?" Gu Zhiqi saw that Tao Yaoyao's eyes were on the man all the way, and he couldn't help but ask with some surprise.
"I'm wondering, isn't there a lot of sissies here?" Tao Yaoyao blurted out without thinking.
"Cissy?" Gu Qi was stunned.
Tao Yaoyao suddenly stopped, looked at him steadily, and then exhaled before saying, "It's okay, it's okay." ”
"Huh?" It's a little inexplicable.
"It's the kind of man who is not male or female, did you see it, the one just now was still drawing eyebrows! Good thing you're not! Tao Yaoyao pouted and said.
Zhao'er said and laughed, the literary style of Nansu prevailed, and the aggressive poetry and Yawen music were opposed. The people also encourage business, regardless of men and women, so the people are open......" Gu Zhiqi smiled, but was interrupted by Tao Yaoyao before he finished speaking.
"It's here!" Tao Yaoyao stopped in front of a three-open gate.
"Take a look inside the two of you? Our new arrival in the Linglong Pavilion is crystal clear and round, and there is no better one in the whole city! As soon as he arrived at the door, he was greeted warmly by the little guy.
Tao Xiaoyao is also very excited, the shops in this imperial city are different, this luxury energy, she likes it! The steps on his feet did not stop, and he raised his legs and walked in.
"Girl, this is the new pearl of our Linglong Pavilion, they are all beads from the South China Sea, and they are all carefully selected after many processes." When the little guy saw that the two of them were with their servants and their clothes were luxurious, they naturally smiled.
Gu Zhiqi took out a thin card, and the little guy laughed even more, and hurriedly beckoned the two upstairs, because what he saw was the jade-level membership card of Linglong Pavilion.
"Girl, there is one of the pearls in our Linglong Pavilion that is one in a million pearls, and the princess girl is upstairs, please-" The little guy beckoned the two up, but he still stayed on the first floor.
The rules of Linglong Pavilion treat different levels of VIPs, with different waiters, aiming to provide better service. But after a few people went upstairs, no one immediately greeted them, which made Tao Yaoyao's brows frown slightly.
"Isn't this the Second Highness, such a good Yaxing today - quick, don't go and show the Second Highness something!" There was an annoying voice in his ears, and Tao Yaoyao pursed his lips, and he knew that this product was definitely not a good stubble when he saw anyone.
"Your Highness forgives your sins." The waiters quickly knelt down.
"Get up." Gu Zhiqi said lightly, but his eyes looked directly at the man who was talking opposite.
The man didn't pay any respects to Gu Zhiqi at all, and the disrespect on his face was still disdainful, and it was obvious that it was about to overflow.
"Your Highness, is this the emperor?" Tao Yao said unabashedly, and his voice was quite loud, and several people on the ground were obviously startled, and even Gu Zhiqi turned his head to look at him in surprise.
"Prince Zhao'er has seen it, His Royal Highness seems to have only this brother, even if it is the emperor's brother or something, he will not be so rude to his brother, then it is only today, but the emperor is so young! Your Royal Highness, Zhao'er is just an ordinary woman among the people, do you want to make a big gift of three kneels and nine bows? Tao Yaoyao looked at Gu Zhiqi with a confused expression.
The expression of the man on the other side was first disdainful, then shocked, and then to hold back his anger, and then he opened his mouth: "I have seen His Royal Highness King An." ”
"No courtesy." Gu Zhiqi still said lightly, but he had a trace of admiration for Tao Xiaoyao's boldness.
"It turns out that it's not the emperor, and this person is too rude-" Tao Xiaoxiao obviously set a trap on people, and wanted to deduct two sugars.
"You—bold! My son-in-law is the son-in-law of the father-in-law! The man next to him obviously couldn't get by, and shouted at the top of his throat.
"Oh-the folk girl is an ignorant girl, and she also invites Gongzi Haihan. It's just that the prince is bigger than the emperor? Tao Yaoyao continued to pretend that she didn't understand anything, and asked directly at the man.
"You damn ......," the man still shouted.
"Shut up!" The man interrupted his subordinate.
"Drag it out - girl, it's the people below who are not sensible, please don't mind." The man looked at Tao Yao for a moment before speaking softly.
"Childe spare his life, Childe spare his life-" The subordinate who was dragged away was instantly frightened.
Tao Xiaoyao doesn't have a good impression of this person anymore, looking at the appearance of this person, you know that this man should usually be very ruthless to the people below, and he is a ruthless character.
"Childe is laughing, it's the people's daughter who is rude." After Tao Yao bowed, he stopped looking at him, and pulled Gu Zhiqi to see the pearl king.
"The girl has a good eye, this is the new pearl king of Linglong Pavilion, his whole body is white, and there is no pearl in Quannansu that can compare with it." The man appeared behind Tao Yaoyao and said.
"Oh, why are you again?" Tao Xiaoyao doesn't like this kind of person, and there is a feeling of haunting.
"Min Gongzi, this is the king's honored guest, I'm afraid that the prince is so unruly." Gu Zhiqi said with some dissatisfaction.
"Your Royal Highness was too worried, thinking that the queen's birthday was approaching, and used this pearl as a birthday gift. Today, I recklessly bumped the girl, and I saw that the girl liked it, so I cut my love under it. The man looked straight at Tao Yao and said.
"The gentleman is not loved by many people, since the prince takes a fancy to it first, how can the daughter of the people have the heart to win the love of others?" Tao Yaoyao quietly pushed the pearl brocade box in his hand to the side.
"This—" The man didn't seem to expect Momo to say that.
"Your Highness, Zhao'er is a little unwell, let's go back to the house first." Tao Yaoyao turned to Gu Zhiqi and said.
"Okay." Gu Zhiqi still responded with a warm smile.
After the two of them left, the attendants recovered from the tension they had just had. They're used to seeing big people, but today's tension is rare.
"Childe, this Pearl King ......" The person from Linglong Pavilion asked softly at the man, for fear of offending the other party.
"Wrap it up." The man was still looking in the direction in which Momo had left.
"Gongzi Xie." The waiter happily replied that this business was not small.
"Zhao'er-" That is the girl Gu Zhiqi brought back?
It is said to be the only daughter of a carpenter, and now that her parents are dead and she has taken refuge in Gu Zhiqi, she thought she was just an ordinary girl, but today it seems that it is indeed a little extraordinary, no wonder her aunt told him that this woman is not simple. At that time, he thought that his aunt was a little hasty to draw conclusions about the next time with a plaything like a mahjong, but now he seems to be interested in this woman, and the man squinted and thought.
"Master, what should Ade do?" Another subordinate asked him, Ade was the one who had just been dragged away, and was often taken by his master because he could talk.
"Chop and feed the dogs." The man said in a non-fluctuating tone.
"Yes." The people on the side didn't seem to be surprised.
Yes, although this little guy has some eyesight and can speak on weekdays, but today he said something that shouldn't be said. The woman obviously saw that he didn't give Gu Zhiqi a salute and deliberately said that, if he continued to publicize it, then maybe someone with a heart would spread this matter to the palace, if it was really so, it would be a big disrespect. In this world, it stands to reason that except for the two men, the emperor and the crown prince, it seems that everyone else needs to bow to the second prince. Since this little guy said something he shouldn't have said, there is no need to stay in the world anymore. It's good to exchange his rotten life for the pacification of this matter.
"Who is that man? So arrogant! Tao Yaoyao asked dissatisfiedly as she followed Gu Zhiqi to the place.
"Min Wenhao, the queen's nephew, Min Gong's sister-in-law. Min Gong is the prince of the country, and when the court has a lot of power, he is naturally arrogant, and it is also reasonable. Gu Zhiqi's answer was very simple, and it was easy to guess those relationships with Tao's brain.
"Damn, royal relatives! Isn't that the prince's cousin, no wonder it's so unreasonable! Tao Xiaoyao understood.
"Naturally, I'm just a prince who is not completely powerful, and I am not treated well by the emperor, so it is not surprising that he is not polite like that." Gu Zhiqi said with a smile, as if he didn't take this matter to heart.
"But, don't you have a token to command the three armies?" Tao asked puzzled.
"That token isn't mine, isn't it in Zhao'er's hand now? What's more, the three armies are all forbidden armies guarding the border, and they are not allowed to approach the imperial city without a will. Gu Zhiqi turned his head to her and said.
"What? No wonder you gave it to me - that is, the emperor intends to transfer you to the border? Tao Xiaoxiao was wondering, and suddenly reacted.
This token is said to be given to the second prince, that is, His Royal Highness King An, but in fact, it is just a useless pretense for appeasement. Moreover, the deep meaning behind this is probably designed a long time ago.
"Zhao'er is smart." Gu Zhiqi smiled bitterly, it seems that he has already understood.
"Well, take your time, there's always time." Tao Yaoyao won't be able to laugh anymore, it seems that she can't be so casual anymore, things are more complicated than she expected, she still wants that book!
"Half a moon later is the queen's birthday, maybe it will be a foregone conclusion then." Gu Zhiqi heard Tao Yaoyao say this, and responded without any emotion.
"What? Half a month?! Why didn't you say it earlier? Tao Yaoyao was shocked, saying that it was only half a month to prepare, if he didn't let Gu Zhixian get out, he had to get out?
"I don't want Zhao'er to be so stressed. No matter where you are, Zhao'er will be with you, right? Gu Zhiqi stopped at this time, and looked at Tao Yao's eyes carefully, his eyes were full of unknown hope.
"This ...... Rest assured, our agreement is a good one, and I won't let that happen! Momo dodged his gaze, then patted him on the shoulder.
"Okay." Gu Zhiqi's eyes darkened, and then he smiled, "Zhao'er, Miao Gao is inside." ”
"Hmm." Tao Yaoyao was a little absent-minded, and today's events made her shake her mind.
But at this moment, the surname Miao has been solved first, since the storm can't be stopped, let's let the storm come more violently!
