"Then since it is what the master meant, the slave and the maid said, if what is said is a little different from what the master thinks, the master must not blame the slave and the maid." Xiangyi is a delicate person, and she protects herself before speaking.

Seeing that Xigong Jue nodded, Xiang Yicai speculated with confidence: "According to the meaning of the slave maid, the person who sent something to the princess Niangniang this time must not be her family, the master also said just now, her family and Ye Zhaoyi will not send it directly at all, after all, the person this time is a person who has some special significance to the princess Niangniang, the slave maid actually wants to say, you should go and investigate whether the princess has any confidants or anything like that before she marries, so ...... There is the number, too. ”

Xiangyi's meaning is very simple, the person who gave the gift this time should be a man, and it is a man who is inextricably linked to Ye Anran, so he asked Xigong Jue to check it.

Xigong Jue was not angry or laughed after hearing this, but just nodded, and then Xiu Lei walked in: "My subordinates ask for peace." ”

"Xiu Lei, you go and find out who is the person who came to send the brocade box to the princess this morning, you must find out for this king, and ...... Before the princess married this king, she had a close relationship with someone. Xigong Jue explained meticulously.

Xiu Lei nodded and then flashed away, in the evening, still in Yiren Garden, Xiu Lei came back to reply: "Master, the subordinates have all found out, the person who gave the gift to the princess is Meng Zhaoyang, the young master of the Gusu Meng family, and he ......?" ”

Seeing that Xiu Lei wanted to speak and stopped, Xigong Jue said coldly: "Go on." ”

"He had a marriage contract with the princess before, this is something that the whole Yangzhou knows, if the emperor does not give marriage at that time, I heard that there are still a few days, and the princess will marry to Gusu." The effect of Xiu Lei's work is really not covered, and everything has been found out in such a few short hours.

Xigong Jue smiled: "Oh, it turned out to be an old lover, her previous marriage contract, this king has already heard of it, the Gusu Meng family is also a big family, and it is also human nature to marry with the Ye family, so to speak, people have been married since childhood, and this king has become a villain who is loved by others, isn't it?" ”

"The difference between the master's words, being able to marry someone like the lord is a blessing that the princess Niangniang cultivated in her previous life." Although Xiu Lei is not good at flattery, he is still very careful when it comes to Xigong Jue.

"Yes, it is her life to marry this king, and she will obey it if she doesn't accept it." With that, Nishinomiya Jue got up and left.

"Master, aren't you going to spend the night here?" Xiangyi asked with some reluctance.

"You should also go with this king, this king is going to ask the teacher for his guilt this time." After saying this, Xigong Jue pushed open the door and disappeared into the night, followed by Xiangyi and Xiu Lei.

The Spring Dawn Pavilion in the evening was unusually quiet

Because Ye Anran usually sleeps late, he is almost always painting or reading books at this time, and today he is just sewing some of his own torn clothes.

In fact, she is not a person who is extremely thrifty, but she likes to innovate very much, every time there is a bad place in the clothes, she cleverly embroiders some patterns to cover the holes, which is not only beautiful, but also can be used as a patch, very practical.

Xiao Rong fanned her on the side, because the weather would be a little stuffy in the evening, so the master and servant were idle enough, but they didn't expect bad luck to come soon.

Ye Anran, who was embroidering, suddenly lost his mind, and the embroidery needle pierced the index finger of his left hand, and suddenly a tingling pain came......

"Master princess, it doesn't matter, the slave is going to get the medicine?" Xiao Rong just wanted to turn around and get medicine to bandage his master, but he saw a group of people walking in.

After Xiao Rong saw the person coming clearly, he panicked and immediately knelt on the ground to ask for peace: "The prince is auspicious." ”

Just now his hand was pricked, Ye Anran had an ominous premonition, sure enough, Xigong Jue actually came, and brought a lot of people, it seems that something is going to happen again.

"The concubine greets the prince." Although Ye Anran did not welcome Xigong Jue very much, he still stood up and saluted in a proper manner.

"Are you in a good mood? And the leisure of embroidery? Looking at the embroidered silk on the side, Xigong Jue said with a little sarcasm.

"The concubine entrusted the prince's blessing, and she lived very comfortably in the palace, with no worries about food and clothing, so it was natural to have leisure and ease." Although Xigong Jue's words were very polite, Ye Anran still endured it, because she was not a woman who was easy to get angry, let alone a woman who was willing to make trouble.

"Hehe, King Toben's blessing? This king doesn't have that much ability to make Miss Ye feel exceptionally good, by the way, I heard that you received a brocade box this morning, what kind of gift? It won't be a rare treasure, take it out for everyone to enjoy, our Ruian Wangfu family business is quite small, naturally it can't compare to your Ye family's wealth, so you still take out things to open our eyes, right? Xigong Jue was also too lazy to go around the bend and directly explain his intentions.

Sure enough, Ye Anran knew that it was not a good thing for these people to come to Chunxiao Pavilion so late, it turned out that this matter spread so quickly, even the prince knew that he had received the brocade box, but Steward Xu didn't look like a person with so many mouths?

Inadvertently raised his head to see Xiangyi, who was a little gloating behind the prince, Ye Anran understood a little, it seems that these women really don't like themselves, and they have to tell Xigong Jue about this little thing.

"Yes, princess Niangniang, the slave has lived so much, and she hasn't seen any rare treasures, so take it out and show it to the big guy." Xiangyi picked up a handkerchief to hide her face and chuckled.

Ye Anran sighed, got up a few steps and walked to the table, and brought the brocade box over, everyone immediately couldn't stop their curiosity to look into the box, but as soon as the box was opened, everyone was immediately disappointed, only to see that there were a few uneaten osmanthus cakes inside.

"Huh? Osmanthus cake? No way? Xiangyi was suddenly a little disappointed, even Xigong Jue was a little surprised, if it was sent by someone from the Gusu Meng family, it should be worth a lot of money, how can it be this ordinary osmanthus cake that can't be in the ordinary?

"What? Are you disappointed? But it's really these pastries, the concubine ate a little, if you don't dislike it, these will be taken for everyone to taste, Yangzhou's osmanthus cake still tastes very authentic. Ye Anran said with a smile.

Xigong Jue stretched out his hand and took out an osmanthus cake, which instantly turned into powder with internal force, and then laughed mockingly: "This king still thinks that this is an osmanthus cake made of jade or beautiful jade, it turns out that it is really just some snacks, it seems that what the old lover gave is not necessarily valuable?" ”

"Lord, you don't understand what the concubine is saying, what old lover?" Ye Anran's hand holding the brocade box also trembled slightly.

"Do you want to keep pretending? Do you think the king will not be able to find out who sent it? The Gusu Meng family was originally going to marry your Ye family, right? Is your brother Meng not at ease with you, so send some pastries to test whether you are still in love? Xigong Jue actually didn't want to say this, after all, these words would lose the identity of a prince, but when he thought of these pastries sent by the Meng family, he became nameless.
