Looking at the handkerchief in Xu Mao's hand, Bai Lilan's expression changed, and then she sat up slightly straight, changed her tone, and said, "Indeed, seeing someone slandering Lord Xin Xiang, I am also very angry in my heart. It's just that the son should explain the matter first, can't he save the misunderstanding later? ”

"Yes, yes, it's late life that I didn't think about it, I was born here late and made amends to the girl!" As he spoke, Xu Mao stood up and bowed to Baili Lan.

"Childe is polite. Since you're coming from afar, do you have a place to stay? ”

"This ...... I was in a hurry, and after arriving in Dadu, I went directly to the girl, and I didn't have time to find a place to live. ”

"That's right, Xia Yu, you take Xu Gongzi to the Fulai Inn on Xuancha Street. I know the shopkeeper, who can provide a good guest room for Childe, and it is quiet there, so Childe can live at ease. ”

"So, thank you girl first!"

Xia Yu walked up to Xu Mao, looked at him with both eyes, and then led the way in front, and the two left the front hall.

"County Lord, but do you think there is something strange about this person?" After seeing the two leave, Chunfeng leaned over and whispered in Baili Lan's ear. She saw the change in Bai Lilan's eyes, and the county lord of the Heart Dao must have a new calculation.

"This person is a member of the Nanzhao Imperial Family!"

"What! Can you see clearly, county lord? Chunfeng also doubted the identity of this person, but she didn't expect that she would have something to do with someone from the royal family. As long as you get involved with the royal family, you will be in trouble, and this can be verified from the time when you were in Bac Ninh.

"Did you notice the handkerchief that Xu Mao just used? On the handkerchief, embroidered is a golden auspicious dragon. Ordinary scholars of Nanzhao, do they dare to use things with such patterns? It must be a member of the royal family who is not willing to be lonely, who came here for a private visit to Weifu. Since I've found a flaw, let's play with him. ”

Hearing this, Chunfeng said with some concern, "County Lord, will this be dangerous?" After all, this is Nanzhao, if we anger the Nanzhao royal family, we are afraid that we will not be able to deal with it! ”

"You stupid girl, you know you can't be provoked, do you still have to go up to meet you?" Bai Lilan took a sip of tea with a smile and said, "Since he likes to play this kind of dress-up game, let's do what he likes and accompany him to the end." Of course, our time is so precious, we can't play with him like this in vain, and it is natural to charge a 'point' fee at that time. ”

Baili Lan's explanation was reasonable, but when Chunfeng listened, she always felt that something was wrong.

"By the way, let the third lady go and find out, what is the origin of this person, I want to know his exact information."

"Yes, slave and maid are going!"

When there was only Baili Lan left in the room, she leaned back in her chair, her face facing the sky, staring at the patterned roof, her eyes full of banter.

It didn't take long for news to come from Baixiangmen. It is said that the three princes of Liangcheng recently left the palace and disappeared. The emperor was furious about this, and had already sent people to investigate the matter in the entire Nanzhao. Through the description of the secret history of Baixiangmen, the appearance of the third prince Xun Mao is exactly the same as Xu Mao in Dadu. It seems that this Xu Mao is the third prince.

Bai Lilan ordered someone to report the matter to Xin Xiang, and at the same time, began to understand the three princes and their people.

The third prince was born to Empress Nanzhao and was loved since he was a child. Because the two elder brothers died one after another, the queen mother loved this grandson very much, and she hated to take off the stars in the sky, just to make her grandson happy. This kind of doting has led to the domineering temper of the three princes, and in the harem, it is also notoriously abusive. Occasionally flirting with a little palace maid, the queen also let him go. But one year something happened that changed the life of the three princes. Because the third prince liked a palace maid and wanted to include him in the room, after imploring the queen mother, he agreed to his request. Just as the third prince was happily preparing to marry his beloved woman, it was suddenly rumored that this little palace maid committed suicide by throwing herself into the river! Of course, this is another old-fashioned drama in the harem, because the concubine of the third prince was jealous, and when she saw that this little palace maid was from a poor family, she moved to kill her and ordered someone to secretly execute her. But there is no impermeable wall in the world, and soon, the facts were investigated clearly, and Concubine Zheng was the murderer. But what is human life in the cold palace? It's just a bargaining chip for the aristocrats to laugh and play. The queen mother and the queen scolded again, and the concubine's father personally pleaded guilty, and after the concubine herself took the initiative to ask to think about it behind closed doors, this matter was over. Soon, the little palace maid disappeared like a gust of wind, and she couldn't catch it even if she wanted to. Everyone thought that this was going to be the end of the matter. The third prince is still as usual, teasing and teasing the palace maid, and spends his days in a mess. And with the experience of that little palace maid, the other palace maids still tried their best to dress themselves, trying to take advantage of this opportunity to change their fate. Even if they end up like the little palace maids, they are not willing to stay in the palace forever, and they don't know the taste of love for the rest of their lives.

All of us are ready for a new beginning. But the third prince, as if he had suddenly changed a person, stayed in the palace all day long, silent. His appearance frightened a group of women in the palace, and they came to visit, but one after another, they were locked out by the three princes. Even his mother, even his imperial grandmother, didn't let them see him. In the end, it was the emperor who took the Imperial Forest Army to forcibly tear down the door, ran to the third prince angrily, and knocked him to the ground without saying a word. The scene was really chaotic, the young women were crying, wanting to come forward, but they were afraid of being affected by the emperor's anger. And the queen and the concubine knelt in front of the emperor one after another, begging him to be extra gracious, not to hurt the third prince, and also angry with his body. As for the Queen Mother, she beat her crutches and was almost fainted by the emperor.

In the midst of the chaos, it was Na Xun Mao himself, who opened his mouth quietly. He said that he did not want to harm the women, and scattered all the women in his temple. As soon as these words came out, the women who had just been quiet began to cry again. It seems that Na Xun Mao's approach is not to help himself, but to directly insert a knife into his heart. The emperor and queen naturally would not allow him to think like this and reprimanded him. Only the Queen Mother was quiet for a moment and decided to let this good grandson follow her first and enlighten herself.

There was no other way but to do it. Since then, that Xunmao has lived with the Queen Mother, just like when he was a child, he felt that his bedroom was empty, and he was afraid to live alone, so he came to the imperial grandmother and did not leave. Although everyone thinks that the third prince is a dissolute person, the queen mother knows that he is just a playful child who has not yet grown up. He was really moved by that little palace maid. If they are really united, this kind of relationship may not last long, but for a young man who is just beginning to fall in love, watching his beloved die, but he can't even get justice back for him, that kind of frustration is very fatal. If he can't break this level by himself, I'm afraid that in the years to come, he will form a shadow and worry about it for the rest of his life.

After the two of them returned to the palace of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother had a long talk with her, and it was very late. No one knew what the two men said, but the next day, the third prince was still closed. After a month like this, Na Xunmao walked out of the Queen Mother's hall again, stood in the sun, and waved his arms. Looking at the appearance of Xunmao who was scruffy but in good spirits, everyone knew that the third prince had returned.

But the third prince has changed a lot. He doesn't linger in the flowers all day long, and he will tease a few words when he sees the beautiful little palace maid, but focuses on state affairs, often flips through books and classics, and asks for a lot of information to solve problems for the emperor. The astonishing changes of the three princes naturally made the emperor and queen happy, and even listed them as the best candidates for the crown prince at one time. The third prince has also become a thorn in the side of his younger brothers, and he always wants to compare him and replace him himself. However, at this moment, the third prince is no longer the person who is competitive in everything, looking at the rejection of his younger brothers, he just smiled faintly, and then knelt down in front of the emperor, saying that he had no intention of the emperor's business, and asked the emperor to choose the crown prince. The emperor was naturally furious, but no matter what he said, the third prince was like eating a scale, and he was determined not to obey. In fact, the third prince was cold-hearted. He knew how indifferent the emperor was. He didn't want his life to end up in this cold palace in the future.

Seeing that no matter what he said, it was not useful, so the emperor simply left him to fend for himself and ignored it anymore. And the third prince found a good teacher for himself early, Xin Xiang. Xin Xiang was upright and knowledgeable, and when his father ascended the throne, he also did his best to clear the obstacles. The third prince already admired Xin Xiang, but because of his identity, he didn't want to get too close to him, lest others say that he was forming a gang. And this moment is different, he has no baggage on his body, so he can naturally have a long talk with Xin Xiang and talk about wine. But this hot potato, Xin Xiang didn't dare to take it at first. If he gets it, what will the emperor think? Lao Tzu was in a cold war with his son, but his son ran to his subordinates and took the initiative to show goodwill. No matter how you think about this, it's a head-off thing! Just as Xin Xiang was thinking hard about how to solve this matter perfectly, the emperor suddenly issued an order and ordered Xin Xiang to be the teacher of the three princes.

After all, the emperor is the father of the third prince, and he loves him in his heart, how can he really bear to see him return in vain? And this will also made Xin Xiang breathe a sigh of relief, so that he didn't have to be caught in the middle, and he was in a dilemma on both sides.

After coming into contact with Xin, the third prince was overwhelmed by his erudition and literary brilliance, and every time he heard him describe the outside world, he yearned for it. Later, Xin Xiang went to Bac Ninh to retrieve important things for his father. But after returning, instead of retrieving his things, Xin Xiang lost an important item. No matter how the third prince asked, Xin Xiang just refused to reveal it, and his whole person quickly lost weight. Later, when Xin Xiang solved all the problems, the truth was revealed. It turned out that when he was in Bac Ninh, he met a strange woman. This woman has hills and valleys in her heart, and she is full of talent, which makes Xin Xiang admire. In the subsequent contacts, he was always willing to bow down and could not get any benefits. In the end, in order to be able to get the baby back smoothly, he also took his own reputation and prepared to open a store and drop a plaque for it. Such a strange woman, how can the three princes not be curious? After asking where she was, he set off in a hurry.
