before getting into the carriage,

"The Eighth Prince is like this, but is there something wrong?" Chu Xi was the first to speak.

Zhao Xuanyi snorted coldly, looked at the green sandalwood who left, and leaned to the side coldly without speaking.

Seeing this, Chu Ji frowned slightly, but she couldn't guess what he was doing in her heart.

The carriage traveled for about half an hour before it stopped, and the voice of the attendant came from outside: "Master, it's here." ”

Zhao Xuanyi got up and got out of the carriage, Chu Xi gritted his teeth slightly, got up to follow, and came out to find that this was actually the back door of the Eighth Prince's Mansion.

Chu Xi stood still: "Eighth prince, there is something we can say outside." ”

Zhao Xuanyi ignored her, stepped inside, and the attendant on the side stepped forward: "Miss Chu, please." ”

Chu Xi was in a panic, he 'invited' himself here for no reason, he didn't get angry, but he had a bigger temper.

Chu Xi held back her anger, looked back at the nervous green shoots, signaled her not to make noise, and followed in.

All the decorations in the Eight Princes' Mansion are the same as others, serious and cold, without the slightest softness to speak of.

After walking for a while, he stopped in front of a small courtyard, and Zhao Xuanyi had disappeared. Chu Xi took another breath and walked in, only to see a woman in a lake blue shirt coming out.

Chu Xi recognized her, the only side concubine of the Eighth Prince, and she never came out again after giving birth to a daughter for the Eighth Prince.

"You are the eldest lady of the Chu family." The woman stepped forward and smiled, her eyes were soft and her lips were smiling, and she felt gentle and comfortable when she looked at it.

"I've seen Concubine Jiang." Chu Ji saluted.

The woman was obviously surprised, and then smiled and helped her up: "Let's talk inside." ”

Chu Xi was confused, but she hated this feeling, so she stepped forward with low eyebrows and let Concubine Jiang pull her into the room.

The interior is very elegant, but the red gold incense burner and the luxurious ornaments that can be seen everywhere are a little out of place with this simplicity.

Concubine Jiang didn't seem to notice Chu Xi's displeasure, and pulled her to sit on the warm couch: "The Eighth Prince invited you over so abruptly, you must be frightened." ”

Chu Xi bowed slightly, but she was surprised in her heart that Concubine Jiang actually knew that she was suddenly 'invited' by the Eighth Prince: "I don't know why the Eighth Prince is doing this?" ”

"Why?" Concubine Jiang covered her lips lightly with her hand and laughed: "Silly girl, the eighth prince naturally likes you." ”

If you like it, you can bring her to the house with such a threatening attitude, regardless of the reputation? Chu Xi felt sarcastic in her heart, but she didn't say it: "Chu Xi's status is humble, her biological mother died early, and her grandfather's family has no support, so I'm afraid she is not worthy of the eighth prince." ”

Concubine Jiang glanced out of the door in surprise, but she didn't expect this Miss Chu to refuse directly, which was different from those women who tried every means to enter the Eighth Prince's Mansion.

The people outside the house were already so angry that their faces turned pale, Concubine Jiang took Chu Xi's hand and said softly: "You have someone in your heart?" ”

Chu Xi looked at Concubine Jiang's eyes with a faint expression: "No, the courtiers are in the boudoir all the year round, and they rarely have contact with foreign men, and the marriage is naturally decided by the grandmother and mother." ”

Concubine Jiang looked at her, didn't know what to think, and stepped forward quietly: "If you are asked to marry the Eighth Prince, are you willing?" ”

Chu Xi knew that no matter whether she said yes or no, the person outside would rush in and choke her neck, and smiled faintly: "The courtiers don't dare to make their own decisions." ”

Zhao Xuanyi listened loudly. With such a temperament, she doesn't dare to make her own decisions about anything, and she is obviously unhappy to say this.

Sure enough, the door was kicked open, and Concubine Jiang stepped forward and saluted: "Master." ”

"Get out." Zhao Xuanyi said coldly.

Concubine Jiang had tears in her eyes, and only then did she carefully lead someone to turn her head and retreat, and closed the door.

Chu Xi sat on the warm couch and looked directly at the eighth prince who was looking at her angrily: "The eighth prince arrested me today, not just to ask if the courtiers are willing." ”

Zhao Xuanyi saw that her attitude was still so cold, and quickly stepped forward and pinched her chin: "Do you know, I can ask for you here now, and then throw you out of the house." ”

Chu Xi's eyes were cold, and she lowered her eyes to hide her killing intent: "The Eighth Prince is not afraid of being caught by the Great Prince again?" ”

"You threaten me?"

"Don't dare." Chu Xi's hands clenched tightly: "It's just that the eighth prince has a good name, if he does such a thing, he will not only directly be the enemy of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but also directly give the handle to the eldest prince, the eighth prince really thinks that this is just a trivial matter?" ”

"You're not afraid of death?" Zhao Xuanyi looked angrily at Chu Xi, who only negotiated with him for half a point and did not beg for mercy, he clearly liked her very much and wanted to give her all the good things. But now he was so angry that he just wanted to pinch her neck.

Chu Ji raised her eyes angrily: "Of course I'm afraid of death, but does the eighth prince give his courtiers room to choose!" "She died in her previous life, she died aggrieved, and she was threatened like this for no reason in this life, she only had anger.

Seeing the slight wetness in Chu Xi's eyes, Zhao Xuanyi's heart softened, and she let go and was about to kiss it, Chu Xuan suddenly turned sideways and wanted to dodge, but was directly pressed on the door frame by Zhao Xuanyi, who was annoyed and angry, and Chu Xuanyi's head hit it hard, and her face suddenly turned pale. Zhao Xuanyi was frightened and hurriedly let go, and Chu Xuan gasped proudly and sat on the ground.

Seeing this, Zhao Xuanyi gritted his teeth and looked at her: "What are you hiding!" ”

"Chu Xi has a life left and right, if the Eighth Prince really wants it, he will take it." Chu Xi's tone became unwavering again, and Zhao Xuanyi was so angry that the green tendons on his fists burst out: "Don't you have what you want?" Glory and wealth, power and fame? ”

The corners of Chu Xi's mouth hooked up a bloody smile, what she wanted was the lives of those people, but she had to let her take them one by one!

"The eighth prince gave Chu Xi peace, and Chu Xi was satisfied."

"You!" Zhao Xuanyi's face was so angry that his face was pale, but he didn't know what to do with her, and was about to bend down to pull her up, but the voice of Concubine Jiang came from outside: "Lin Shizi, how are you?"

Before Concubine Jiang finished speaking, the door was pushed open, Lin Qingyu wore a silver mask on his face, looked at the people on the ground lightly, and raised his chin slightly: "The eighth master's methods are getting more and more clever, and he has begun to use women." ”

Faced with Lin Qingyu's sarcasm, Zhao Xuanyi only glanced at him coldly: "Your guest that night was really the eldest lady of the Chu family." ”

Lin Qingyu's thin lips under the mask raised slightly: "Let the Eighth Prince find out." Lin Qingyu didn't make any more arguments, and slowly walked in front of Chu Ji and bent down and stretched out his hand: "Miss Chu, I'm sorry for causing you." ”

Chu Xi looked at the snow-white clothes in front of her, raised her hand and slapped it away.

Lin Qingyu saw her little temperament, laughed helplessly, raised his hand and called Lu Tan in: "Send your young lady back to the house." ”

"Without my orders, I'll see who can take her away." Zhao Xuanyi was ruthless. This time, either leave Lin Qingyu by your side, or kill Chu Ji and force Lin Qingyu to leave the capital!

Lin Qing's eyes were cold: "She doesn't have such a weight in my heart, but if the Eighth Prince is willing to sit down with me and have a good talk, maybe I can agree to your conditions." ”

"If you want you to be used by me, I can go and ask my father to marry you and Miss Chu." Zhao Xuanyi said with a cold face.

Lin Qingyu put one hand behind him, and walked to the side of the chair and sat down: "No need, my father has already taken a good look at my family, and the eldest lady of the Chu family is unintentionally involved by me, you let her go, otherwise I will go and ask the eldest prince for help." ”

"You know what you're talking about?" Zhao Xuanyi looked at Lin Qingyu, who was light and breezy, and there was murderous aura in his eyes.

Lin Qingyu chuckled: "If you don't know, you won't come here today." The eldest prince and the king of Xiaoyao and their henchmen are about to cover the sky with one hand, and if the eighth prince makes another mistake at this time, I am afraid that he will not be able to talk to the minister so majestically. Lin Qingyu threatened lightly, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Chu Xi on the side, and smiled helplessly, she must be very angry now that she was involved for no reason and became a pawn in the hands of the Eighth Prince.

"Green sandalwood girl. Still stunned for what to do. Lin Qingyu said lightly.

Lu Tan didn't dare to delay: "Miss, let's go." ”

Chu Ji glanced at Lin Qingyu with complicated eyes, he was already about to get married?

"Miss Chu, please come here." Concubine Jiang stepped forward.

Chu Xi raised her eyes and looked at her as if she was relieved, her face was pale, and she left with a step, it was she who underestimated the Eighth Prince, and it was she who misbelieved in the name of the Eighth Prince. The royal battle has always been ferocious, deceitful, intrigued, who will be truly virtuous as a gentleman, but it is just the product of the competition for the throne.

After confirming that Chu Xi was leaving, Lin Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief, suppressed the discomfort in his body, looked at the Eighth Prince, and said with a smile: "I can help you, but the Eighth Prince will not move her any more in the future." He was reluctant to touch a single hair of her hair, and forced her to half a point, and now he made her suffer such a big crime because of himself, it seems that the right is really a good thing.

From the moment Chu Xi left, Zhao Xuanyi felt as if something had been lost forever, but now it was more important not to think about these children's private affairs: "How can I trust you?" ”

Lin Qingyu took off the mask on his face, and the well-informed Zhao Xuanyi also widened his eyes in shock: "This is"

"The eldest prince's poison is too ruthless, and I am not a generous person, this revenge is always to be begged, so let's go with the eighth prince." Lin Qingyu smiled.

Zhao Xuanyi had a calm face, raised his hand to let people in, and the man was holding a small box in his hand: "For so many years, I have never trusted anyone." ”

Lin Qingyu looked at the small box and smelled the smell coming from inside: "Death Pill? ”

Zhao Xuanyi frowned slightly: "You and I have known each other since childhood, I didn't plan to give you the Desperate Pill, but Qing Fool, you actually made the decision now for the sake of a woman, you disappointed me." ”

Lin Qingyu smiled indifferently, took the pill and ate it.

"I'm also tired, so I won't spend more time with the eighth master." Lin Qingyu left lightly.

Concubine Jiang came back from outside, looked at Lin Qingyu, stepped forward and said softly, "Eighth Master, Miss Chu has left." ”

Zhao Xuanyi didn't speak with a calm face, and when Concubine Jiang saw this, she knew that he was sincere, and the handkerchief in her hand was also tightened: "If the master likes it, you can marry and go back to the house." ”

Zhao Xuanyi glanced at her coldly: "Tomorrow when I enter the palace and tell my mother, the marriage of the eldest lady of the Chu family has made her temporarily suppressed, and whoever wants to marry will be suppressed first." ”

Concubine Jiang lowered her head, and when Zhao Xuanyi left, she was about to loosen the handkerchief in her hand, not knowing what to think.

When Chu Xi returned to the Li Mansion, it was almost afternoon, and Jiang's mother came to ask as usual, but Chu Xi only said that she was not feeling well and avoided it. Her chin and neck are full of bruises now, and if Mother Jiang sees it, it will inevitably be misunderstood, but when she remembers that she was forcibly taken away by the Eighth Prince today to be a chess piece, she gritted her teeth in anger.

"Lu Tan, go to Qingfeng Tower to shout the value of the drunken moon girl, and secretly reveal that it is the eighth prince who wants to redeem it." Chu Ji said.

Lu Tan hurriedly retreated, and the green buds had red eyes: "We will go out in the future until the slave maid goes out first, and then you go out." ”

Chu Xi shook her head slightly and rubbed her eyebrows: "There won't be any more such things in the future." "Looking at the consensus reached between the Eighth Prince and Lin Qingyu today, he should not be in danger for the time being, but Lin Qingyu

Chu Ji shook his head, no longer thinking about such miscellaneous matters, only sent Lu Ya to greet the old lady, and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion overnight, and he was relieved when he arrived at the Zhujin Pavilion.

Not long after returning to the Jin Pavilion, Aunt Yanxue came over, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were full of joy.

"What's wrong?" Chu Xi sat on the warm couch and asked with a smile.

Green Sprout beckoned Brother Chunzhi to play, and only Chu Xi and Yanxue were left in the house.

Yanxue looked at Chu Xi suspiciously: "Your neck"

"It's okay, I had a nightmare during my lunch break, and I accidentally got it." Chu Xi brought it briefly, Yan Xue smiled, and said, "I came here this time to tell you that the few girls you said before that I was wary of are really problematic." ”

"Yes." Chu Xi said with a smile.

Yanxue nodded: "That Mrs. Ning really took money from others and wanted to poison my brother Hong'er, fortunately, I let people stare at her early, and I was arrested, and I handed it over to the master." The old man directly beat the board, and went to half a life to let the tooth woman sell it. Yan Xue was still afraid when she thought about it, if it wasn't for Chu Xi's reminder in advance, Brother Hong might have been killed by her, and as soon as Brother Hong died, she would be finished.

Chu Xi took a sip of hot tea and felt a little soothed: "But who bought it?" ”

Yan Xue bowed: "I asked, she answered very quickly, saying that it was Qin Xue's order, and the master didn't call anyone to confront him, so he directly banned Qin Xue's feet, and ordered the old lady to take care of the matter in the future, and I assisted." Yanxue was quite happy to say it.

Chu Xi had some doubts: "You send someone to find out where that woman was sold by Ya Po." After that, he paused and said: "When Ming'er's grandmother returns, you will take Brother Hong'er to ask for peace, and say that you want to take care of Brother Hong'er, and you don't have time to help feed you." ”

"Why is that?" Yan Xue was puzzled: "Aren't we just taking the right to give Qin Xue a good look." Yanxue was angry.

Chu Xi shook her head slightly and raised her eyes to look at her; "Don't you think it's going too well? Before she could torture her confession, the mother-in-law recruited Qin Xue, and ordinary mother-in-law should not be hoping to be saved. Or will you recruit when you have to say something? ”

Yan Xue frowned and put down the teacup in her hand: "I'm so happy, but I didn't expect this layer, could it be that Qin Xue did it on purpose?" ”

Chu Xi shook her head slightly: "When you find that woman back, you will have a good interrogation." ”

Yanxue gritted her teeth: "But the assistant feed"

"The old lady's favorite is not who is the most prominent, she likes checks and balances from all sides, you press me, I press you, so it is convenient for her to master, now that you have Brother Hong, and you get the right to be an assistant so quickly, what do you think the old lady will think?" Chu Xi said, Yanxue's brain is hot now, she wants to break this truth for her and feed it to her.

Yanxue raised her eyes and looked at Chu Xi: "You mean the old lady will be unhappy?" ”

"It's not just that I'm unhappy, even Brother Hong may come and bring it herself." The old lady likes Brother Hong'er for all to see.

Yan Xue was shocked into a cold sweat: "If I don't have Brother Hong, what is the difference between me and the subordinates who were bullied by them before." ”

Chu Xi saw that she had figured it out, so she asked her about the strange behavior of Yinye and Pear Blossom in the courtyard, these two were not a big problem, they were just unstable, Yanxue directly asked Ya Po to send them to Qinglou. That's it.

After sending away the smoke and snow, Lu Tan also came back, things went very smoothly at night, Yun Kang, the little son of the Yun family, and Jiao Simiao, who was in the same stream, shouted in Qingfeng Building, Chu Qitai was also there, the two fought for a red face, but they all knew the rules, and the bustard would not let go on the first day, so they didn't fight more.

Chu Xi smiled: "Can the gambling house be arranged?" ”

Lu Tan nodded: "Don't worry, I'm a hundred safe." Lu Tan patted his chest: "Originally, it was a little bit impossible, but it happened that Lin Shizi was here at that time, so it was solved very smoothly." ”

Hearing this, Chu Xi exhaled softly, what did Lin Qingyu want to do? Or do you want to get something out of your hands?

Chu Qitai returned home with a group of small servants, and when he thought of that Yunkang, he was so angry that he gave the little guy next to him a slap.

"Childe"

Chu Qitai snorted: "I dare to fight with my lord for anything, his Yun family has long since declined, and his father is also a bastard, he can't be liked by the emperor, where can he compare to my father." Follow the King of Escape, and it won't be long before you can."

"Childe, don't talk nonsense." The little guy on the side hurriedly reminded.

Chu Qitai was interrupted, and kicked him angrily: "I want you to talk nonsense." ”

The little guy grinned in pain, but he didn't dare to scream: "Master, the money in front of you is the gambling house, do you want to go and play happily?" ”

Chu Qitai was a good gambler, and he had just been angry in Qingfeng Building, so he naturally wanted to find a place to get back to his original, so he walked towards the gambling house.

When the people at the door of the gambling hall saw that he was coming, they made a look, and one of them hurriedly turned around and went in.

Early the next morning, Chu Ji heard the news from Xiao Fu'er, saying that Chu Qitai played in the Qianlai Gambling House last night, and won almost 10,000 taels of silver before returning home.

Chu Xi smiled and had breakfast: "When will grandmother arrive?" ”

"It's going to be half an hour." Xiao Fu'er said.

Chu Ji bowed her head and ate breakfast absentmindedly, so she wrote a letter and asked her to take it to Lin Qingyu.

In the bamboo forest, Lin Qingyu lightly supported his head with his hands, reclining on the bench, his hair scattered behind him at will, only holding it with a hosta, several delicate-looking girls sat behind him in light yarn and played the guqin.

There was a woman dressed in plain yarn kneeling beside Lin Qingyu, feeding grapes to his mouth one by one, the fruits on the long table here were all transported from afar, and the natural hot springs were steaming, making the temperature here seem to be four or five degrees higher.

"Master, Mei Niang is here."

Lin Qingyu looked at the girl in front of him coldly, and smiled: "Let her come over." ”

The girl answered, and after a while, a bewitching woman in a rose-red dress came over, looking at the lazy Lin Qingyu, his idle and lazy daily life only appeared when the person left, and now because of this Miss Chu. I actually trapped myself in my own game again.

"Miss Chu has a letter." Mei Niang said.

Lin Qing's foolish eyes moved: "Let it go." ”

"Won't you take a look?" Mei Niang said.

"Nope." Lin Qingyu refused, and looked at Su Su: "Su Su, come here, my shoulders are sore." ”

Su Su smiled lightly, his toes were light, and he landed on his side like a fairy, and a pair of soft little hands were placed on his shoulders and slowly pinched: "Master, is this strength good?" ”

Lin Qingyu let out a 'hmm' sound, then closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Mei Niang raised her eyebrows slightly: "Miss Chu is now turning everyone away, she was left on the mountain and bullied before, it is hard to believe that people are right, Ye Mo is too careful." ”

Lin Qing was so angry that he was about to get up, but when he turned his head and saw Mei Niang's smug smile, he lay down sullenly.

Mei Niang sighed slightly in her heart, bowed and left.

Lin Qingyu looked at the letter with a delicate hairpin written on his side, and opened it after hesitating for a while.

There were not many words on the letter, it was nothing more than a cliché of thanks, Lin Qing knew that Chu Xi's heart knot was not over, so he snorted coldly. But he folded the letter and put it away carefully.

Chu Xi went to the door to pick up the old lady and went back to the house, the old lady seemed to be extremely happy and radiant, Chu Xi looked behind her, and saw Li Xiao and a big box.

As soon as Li Xiao came in, his eyes fell on Chu Xi: "Big sister." ”

The old lady also smiled: "Your cousin will stay here for a few days, study with your father, so as to prepare for this year's spring exam. ”

Chu Xi lowered her head and smiled: "That's a good thing, no wonder my grandmother is full of red face." "If Li Xiao enters this smoky Chu Mansion, it is a good thing not to be crooked.

"That's right." The old lady looked at Chu Zhenzhen, who was waiting on the side: "What about your mother, let her arrange a yard for Xiao'er and his father." ”

"They're all moving in?" Chu Zhenzhen looked at the old lady puzzled, one Li Xiao is enough, why do you have to move in as a family.

"It's just a few days." Seeing her like this, the old lady turned cold: "Mrs. Li is your aunt and my daughter, so she can't live there." ”

Chu Zhenzhen naturally knew that the old lady was angry, and hurriedly said: "Zhenzhen didn't mean that, but her mother was deprived of the right to take charge of the family by her father, and her feet were forbidden. Grandmother still let Aunt Yanxue, who is now the assistant feeder, arrange it. ”

The old lady's face was even darker, and Yan Xue hurriedly took Brother Hong forward and said tremblingly: "Old lady, Yan Xue is trying to tell you about this, I am now dedicated to taking care of Brother Hong, I'm afraid I don't have time to assist in feeding, you see"

The old lady's gaze softened a little when she looked at Yan Xue, not to mention that Brother Hong was so well-behaved: "Since you don't have time, I'll find someone else to take care of this matter, and it's the right thing for you to take good care of Brother Hong." ”

"Yes." Yanxue quietly pushed Brother Hong, and Brother Hong also stepped forward and shouted crisply: "Thank you, grandmother." ”

The old lady laughed, glanced at Chu Zhenzhen, who was not good-looking, and said, "What about your eldest brother?" ”

Chu Zhenzhen gritted her teeth: "Big brother is unwell"

"I heard that the big brother won a lot of money last night, and Brother Hong wants to be like the big brother in the future." Brother Hong said innocently, Yan Xue hurriedly grabbed him, "Brother Hong, don't talk nonsense." ”

But the old lady already knew what was going on in her heart, and said coldly: "Mother Jiang, go to the Tai'er Courtyard to spread a message, let him wake up and then come to my hospital." After that, he took Li Xiao back to Ronghua Courtyard.

Chu Dai'er stepped forward to salute Chu Zhenzhen and Chu Xi, while Chu Xiuxiu followed behind Chu Dai'er step by step.

Chu Zhenzhen didn't notice this, and said coldly to Chu Xiuxiu: "Xiuxiu, Dai'er, go and sit in my courtyard." ”

Chu Xiuxiu was silent, Chu Dai'er glanced at Chu Xi in embarrassment, and saw that Chu Xi had no intention of speaking, so she had to nod: "Yes." ”

Chu Zhenzhen looked at it, thinking that Chu Xi was instructing the two of them, so she was so angry that she pretended to be well-behaved on weekdays, and snorted and turned her head to go to her yard.

Chu Xi was happy to be idle, turned his head and went back to the Zhujin Pavilion, and soon Xiao Fu'er inquired about the news, saying that Li Chu's family came over with Lord Li, and they brought two boxes of silver, Chu Bingsong got the old lady's order, and naturally asked the gentleman in the house to start teaching Li Xiao, as for himself, he would also bring Lord Li when he had a party.

Chu Qitai went to the old lady's yard and was scolded, but Chu Qitai won the money, and he was happy, but he also carefully accepted the punishment. I took two thousand taels of silver and put it in the feed, and this matter was settled.

In the evening, after Chu Qitai went to Qingfeng Lou to fight for a pass, he plunged into the money to the gambling hall, but tonight was different from yesterday, he kept losing from the first one, and he still owed the gambling hall five thousand taels of silver after losing one night.

The person who bet with him was Qiao Ba, the little ruffian who forced his mother to death before, Qiao Ba won a lot of money and didn't forget to taunt him: "Today, the luck of the eldest prince of Chu has run out?" ”

Chu Qitai glared at him fiercely: "Qiao Ba, have you forgotten how your leg was broken, and how did your old lady die?" ”

The little guy who followed behind Chu Qitai laughed, and Qiao Ba had a dark face: "Don't think that you can do whatever you want with a little power, let me tell you, the way of heaven is good for reincarnation, you just wait!" ”

Chu Qitai was not happy when he lost the money, so he directly asked people to go up and beat Qiao Ba again, but the housekeeper of the Chu Mansion came early to invite him back, so he only took a sip: "Dog, you wait for the master, and look back to see how the master cleans you up." Regardless of what the people behind him thought of him, he flicked his robe and went out directly.

"I heard that the Eighth Prince is also fighting for the drunken moon girl. Tonight, the drunken moon girl must have followed the Eighth Prince. Several people on the side of the road gathered together and muttered.

"But isn't it, the poor boy of the Chu family still wants to eat swan meat with a toad, where is his step-born and the royal blood of the family is noble." Another humane.

"That's it, the Chu family heard that they were about to be unable to open the pot, so they were waiting to sell the best-looking second lady in the house to a rich and noble family for money." Someone smiled lewdly: "I don't know if I can spend a few hundred taels to kiss Fangze." ”

"Hahaha, you are willing to spend money on the woman who was played by the cannibal in Yunfu, even if it is sent to my mansion, I don't want it." Headed by the way.

Chu Qitai's face was so black that he was about to drip water when he heard this, and he turned his head and shouted: "Where did you come from, dogs, talk nonsense, I'll throw you all into prison!" ”

When those people saw that it was Chu Qitai, they hurriedly ran away, but the words they just said spread quickly, along with Chu Qitai's loss of money in the gambling hall and scolding and threatening people.

Chu Qitai turned his head and went to Qingfeng Tower, but he was not convinced, what happened to the Eighth Prince, now that this drunken moon has to be bought with money, he doesn't believe that the Eighth Prince is willing to spend a lot of money to buy a prostitute/girl in Qinglou to go back!

"Eldest son, the master told you to go back to study, Mr. and the son of the Li family are already waiting for you." The old butler was busy.

Chu Qitai snorted: "You go back and tell your father, I will go back later." With that, he got into his carriage. Go to Qingfeng Tower.

When Zhao Xuanyi heard the rumors outside, he directly stopped the ink pen in his hand: "The master behind Qingfeng Tower is the eldest prince?" ”

The attendant nodded: "Qingfeng Building is the main source of income for the Great Prince, and the matter of painting the boat, I am afraid that those assassins are hiding on the painting boat." ”

Zhao Xuanyi's face was dark: "Go and stare at that kid from the Chu family, don't make anything happen to me." ”

"Do you want to help him?"

Zhao Xuanyi looked at the person who came coldly: "As long as he doesn't implicate the Eighth Prince's Mansion, whether he lives or dies is the matter of the eldest prince." ”

The squire's eyes lit up and he walked away.

In Qingfeng Building, there are a lot of guests today, Chu Qitai is also a frequent visitor here, and the fact that he won 10,000 taels yesterday naturally spread loudly, and when he came in, the bustard arranged the best position for him in the lobby on the second floor: "Master, do you want to call the two girls to come and serve first?" ”

Chu Qitai waved his hand: "No need, I'm here for the drunken moon girl today." ”

The old bustard looked Chu Qitai, who was wearing a silver-gray robe and a gray squirrel skin cape, and responded with a smile, then twisted his waist and said to the others: "Serve me carefully." ”

Chu Qitai felt that he was being held, and only then did he show a smile on his face, and it was inevitable for Drunken Yue.

Not long after, the figure of the old bustard appeared on the stage of the lobby on the first floor, half a floor high. As soon as the old bustard said politely, he heard a beautiful piece of music, and then a graceful red figure appeared in the center of the stage surrounded by lotus candles. The red gauze half-covered the face, and the exotic costumes and dances dazzled everyone's eyes, especially the beautiful body wrapped under the tight red dance dress, the exposed white forearms and the soft waist like a water snake, which made the men below look bloody and applaud.

Chu Qitai naturally couldn't take his eyes off it, and after a dance, the old bustard walked out, pulled the drunken moon who was still holding the pipa and half-covered her face to the middle, and said directly: "This is the first time that the drunken moon girl has officially come out to welcome guests, and today I will look for a person who will bud for her among the masters." ”

"Okay, Mom, let's make a bid!" Someone at the bottom couldn't help but shout.

The old bustard was overjoyed and said busily: "The reserve price is two thousand taels, start!" ”

Two thousand taels is a high price, and two thousand taels can buy a house in the capital, but there are many rich people underneath.

"I'll sell two thousand five!"

"Three thousand!"

"I'll give you five thousand taels!" Yun Kang got up and shouted, he was determined to win the drunken moon on the stage.

Chu Qitai snorted coldly, and then raised his hand: "Five thousand five hundred taels!" ”

Yun Kang looked up and saw that it was Chu Qitai, and smiled disdainfully: "Seven thousand taels!" ”

Seeing that Yunkang directly raised so much, Chu Qitai gritted his teeth: "Eight thousand taels!" ”

"Nine thousand!"

"Ten thousand taels!" Yunkang also lost his temper, the kid of the Chu family obviously had no money, but now he is raising the price with himself here, obviously deliberately finding fault.

Chu Qitai was about to shout, and the little guy on the side hurriedly said: "Master, we don't have so much silver on us, forget it." ”

Chu Qitai is not in a hurry, doesn't it mean that the Eighth Prince is also fighting for the Drunken Moon, it's really not good, after he won Yunkang, he played a game and then sold the Drunken Moon to the Eighth Prince, he didn't suffer a loss.

"Fifteen thousand taels!" Chu Qitai stood up and said to Yun Kang, who was sitting in the lobby.

Yun Kang's face was gloomy with anger, and Jiao Simiao on the side pulled him: "Brother Yun, it's just a woman in a green building, you can't be so angry, and the old bustard doesn't know how many good things are hidden in his hands." ”

When Yun Kang heard this, he endured it and smiled: "The Chu Mansion is so poor that it is almost impossible to open the pot, I am just waiting here today to see how he comes up with this fifteen thousand taels." ”

"Fifteen thousand taels is not a small amount." Jiao Simiao smiled sarcastically, and the two of them waited peacefully to see Chu Qitai's joke.

Chu Qitai saw that Yunkang really didn't fight, but he was a little panicked in his heart, but when he saw the adoring eyes cast by Zui Yue, he was stiff again, and he hugged the beauty today, and Ming'er sold it to the Eighth Prince, which was worth it.

Seeing that no one raised the price again, Chu Qitai had no intention of repenting, so he made a final decision: "The budding opener of the drunken moon girl is Chu Gongzi!" ”

There was laughter below, some were pity, and some began to play their own games, and the old bustard led the drunken moon to Chu Qitai's side on the second floor: "Young Master Chu, tonight's drunken moon girl is yours." ”

Chu Qitai smiled, looked down, and quietly asked the old bustard: "Where is the eighth prince?" ”

"The Eighth Prince?" The old bustard smiled and said, "The Eighth Prince never comes to this kind of fireworks Willow Lane. ”

Chu Qitai was stunned: "Didn't you say that the Eighth Prince came to ask the price a few days ago?" ”

"yes." The old bustard responded, and as soon as Chu Qitai was relieved, he heard the old bustard say again: "It's just that the eighth prince said that he was coming today after asking the price, but he didn't even see a figure today, what, didn't Chu Gongzi want to say, you took this person for the eighth prince?" ”

"Not really." Chu Qitai smiled reluctantly and waved his hand, glanced at the little guy on the side, and was about to turn around and run, but was pulled by Zuiyue: "Young Master Chu, don't you like Zuiyue?" ”

Chu Qitai faced the beauty, his heart was itching, but he had no money in his hand: "No, I'm going back to get the money." ”

"Yo, Master Chu didn't have enough money in his hand." The bustard's voice was not small, and Yunkang at the bottom laughed directly: "I don't have money to learn what kind of uncle I am." ”

Chu Qitai's face turned slightly pale: "Who said I don't have any money, I'll go and get it for you now." After saying that, he was about to leave, but the old bustard had a black face, and directly beckoned someone to stop him, and looked at Chu Qitai with a smile: "Master Chu is playing us like monkeys and making fun of us, you don't want to think about who is in charge of this Qingfeng Building." ”

"Mom, I didn't mean that." Chu Qitai looked at the dozen or so sturdy men who came up and softened his attitude.

The old bustard smiled: "We didn't mean to embarrass you, since you said that you want to go back to get the money, do you think we should go back with you to get it, or let our people send a letter to the Chu Mansion?" ”

"This" Chu Qitai naturally didn't want to, if Chu Bingsong knew about it, he wouldn't break his legs.

"I'll ask my little guy to go back and get it, and I'll get it for you right away." After that, he hurriedly said to the two little guys: "Don't hurry up and go back to get the money!" ”

The two little guys looked embarrassed: "Master, where is there still 15,000 taels in the house?"

"Fart!" Chu Qitai scolded, and the people below sighed for a while, saying that Chu Qitai went to the Chu family to study hard for three years, and became able to write and martial arts, and was a young man.

Chu Qitai listened to the discussion below, knew that he was looking at this, gritted his teeth, and took out the jade pendant he carried with him: "This jade pendant is what I have carried since I was a child, and it is worth two thousand taels to say the least." I gave it to the drunken moon girl as a meeting gift. Chu Qitai endured the heartache and said: "Mom is convenient, let's go to the room and say how about it?" ”

The old bustard took the jade pendant, looked at it, put it away, glanced to the side, and let Chu Qitai enter the room.

Chu Qitai often comes to this room, so he is naturally familiar with the door, looking at the open window not far away, relying on his own kung fu, he jumped down directly.

The old bustard was shocked: "Dare to run, come here, catch me back!" ”

Chu Qitai is now bent on going back to his mother Qin Xue to get the silver and hurry up this scene, jumped down from the second floor, and just arrived at the dark back street, there are not many people on the back street, Chu Qitai argued the direction and ran towards the Chu Mansion, halfway through the run, he saw someone blocking the road ahead, and when he looked up, it was no one else, it was the little ruffian Qiao Ba.

Qiao Ba limped. With three or five people who were also holding wooden sticks behind him, he looked at Chu Qitai gloomily: "Young Master Chu, are you going there in such a panic?" ”

When Chu Qitai saw that it was him, he patted his shirt and stood still: "Qiao Ba, what do you want to do?" Just the people, do you still want to provoke the Prime Minister's Mansion? ”

Qiao Ba smacked at him: "It's still the Prime Minister's Mansion, but it's just a poor young master, it's not much better than a Diao people like me, what kind of shelf do you put on me?" After that, he stepped forward and stabbed him with the stick in his hand: "Didn't I just tell you that the way of heaven is good for reincarnation, and now is the time for you to repay your debts!" ”

"Qiao Ba, what do you want to do, I warn you"

"Brothers, break his leg for me!" Qiao Ba shouted, thinking of the old lady he forced to death by him and the leg that was broken by him, he was indignant in his heart, and raised his hand and slammed a stick on Chu Qitai's face.

Chu Qitai was still scolding and threatening, but no one paid attention to him at all, until the people from Qingfeng Building chased after him, and Qiao Ba hurriedly ran away with the people.

Chu Xi heard Lu Tan's wonderful description, and smiled faintly: "You said that there are other people following, but who is it?" ”

Seeing that Chu Xi was not happy at all, Lu Tan pouted: "I followed all the way and saw him go to the Eighth Prince's Mansion." ”

Chu Xi smiled faintly, put the freshly cut plum blossom in his hand and said, "That person didn't find you?" ”

Lu Tan smiled: "Lin Shizi taught me a trick" Lu Tan hurriedly covered his mouth halfway through his words: "Ahem, I just didn't find it." ”

Chu Xi didn't ask any more, since the people of the Eighth Prince could be discovered by Lu Tan, they could naturally be discovered by the people of the Great Prince, this time Chu Qitai was broken leg, no matter what, Chu Bingsong and the Great Prince formed a relationship, and the Great Prince would naturally suspect that the Eighth Prince was the obstruction. If there is a conflict between the eldest prince and the eighth prince, King Xiaoyao will definitely take himself out first, and then it will be time for Chu Bingsong to choose. Let's see if he takes himself out to offend the eldest prince like the King of Carefree, or simply follows the prince and doesn't want the King of Ease. In any case, the three of them have suffered losses this time.

Chu Xi looked at the teacup and was distracted, and the green sandalwood dangled in front of her eyes for a long time before she came back to her senses, and raised her eyes to look at her: "Where is Qiao Ba?" ”

"Don't worry, someone has been arranged to send you out of the city. You gave him so much silver, and he will never come back for the rest of his life. Lu Tan smiled, touched the remaining half in his arms, and happily thought about what sugar cakes to go out to buy for a while.

Chu Ji raised her hand and beckoned Lu Ya over: "Find Lu Tan and put away the rest of the money." ”

"Miss, where there is any remaining money, I will give it to Qiao Ba, otherwise he will be willing to go." Midori sandalwood's eyes straightened.

Chu Xi shook his head helplessly: "Qiao Ba is not a stupid person, he naturally knows that life is important or silver is important, but he is not allowed to do such things in the future." ”

Green Sandalwood was demolished, pouted, and unwillingly handed over the remaining one hundred taels of silver tickets to Green Sprouts. The girl was reluctant to buy two pieces of cloth herself, and she was willing to give so much silver to these gamblers, what a strange person.

Chu Xi didn't care what Lu Tan thought in her heart, looked out of the dark window, and got up: "It's already mid-January." Chu Xi sighed with emotion.

Lu Ya hurriedly took the cloak and covered her: "Miss, it's not too early, let's rest early." ”

Chu Ji bowed slightly and went back to the room.

In the middle of the night, Chu Mansion was in a commotion, Chu Bingsong was reluctant to take out the 15,000 taels, and he really couldn't take out 15,000 taels, and was blocked at the door by the people of Qingfeng Building, and he didn't dare to alarm others, so he only sent someone to find the King of Freedom.

When King Xiaoyao heard this, he immediately told the eldest prince the news, and the eldest prince naturally would not have a grudge with Chu Bingsong at this time, after all, Chu Bingsong was also the most powerful one on his side, so he naturally would not really have a dislike with Prime Minister Chu Cheng for that bit of silver, so he hurriedly sent someone to send Chu Qitai back, but Chu Qitai, who returned to Chu Mansion, was already half-dead with a broken leg.

After Chu Qitai was beaten, Qin Xue almost fainted from crying, she was just this one son, who didn't hold him in the palm of his hand in the whole house before, but now he was broken by someone, and his future will be ruined in the future.

Seeing Qin Xue crying here, Chu Bingsong was also very annoyed: "Okay, don't cry, you can cry his legs?" ”

Qin Xue looked at him with red and swollen eyes: "Master, this is your only sister-in-law, now that his leg has been broken, isn't this slapping the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion, master, you can bear this breath?" ”

"What else can I do!" Chu Bingsong said angrily: "The master behind Qingfeng Tower is the eldest prince, you let me go to the trouble of the eldest prince?" ”

Qin Xue was stunned, turned her head and threw herself on Chu Qitai, who had fainted, and cried again.

Chu Zhenzhen stood on the side and wiped her tears: "In two months, it will be spring, with the talent of the eldest brother, he will definitely be able to get a Tanhualang, but now"

Chu Bingsong heard another burst of anger in his heart, he pinned all his hopes on this son, but how did he know that he was so uncompetitive.

"Okay, you know crying." Chu Bingsong walked out impatiently: "I'll go and ask King Xiaoyao to ask Tai'er for the imperial doctor." ”

Chu Zhenzhen's eyes lit up: "Father, I'll go with you." ”

Chu Bingsong paused, looked at Chu Chu's poor Chu Zhenzhen, and bowed slightly.

Chu Bingsong was full of fire here, and the eldest prince also felt aggrieved, looked at the old bustard in front of him who was trembling like chaff, and said, "You said that Chu Qitai was still asking where the eighth prince was at the end?" ”

The old bustard nodded like pounding garlic: "Two days ago, someone from the Eighth Prince came to ask about the value of the drunken moon girl, and it was doubled and doubled, so yesterday there was a result of the drunken moon girl's first sale at a sky-high price." ”

The walnut in the eldest prince's hand stopped, squinted his eyes and connected the things before and after, there was the shadow of the eighth prince before and after, and he was afraid that this matter was also led by him. Otherwise, who else wants to separate him from Prime Minister Chu?

Thinking like this, the eldest prince hurriedly called a carriage and went to the Xiaoyao Palace.

Zhao Xuanyi is also rushing to the Xiaoyao Mansion at the moment, and now he has been inexplicably calculated into the Qingfeng Building, it seems that the eldest prince has a dislike for Prime Minister Chu, and it is he who benefits, but he will not be able to maintain the apparent peace with the eldest prince, and the biggest beneficiary is besides the Xiaoyao King who has been operating secretly.

The three parties hurried to the Xiaoyao Palace, and when Zhao Xunyan, the king of Xiaoyao, saw the three of them, he knew that the four of them had been calculated.
