Chapter 25: Acquiescence

At this moment, Chu Hanye was wearing an ochre-colored dark pattern brocade suit, sitting on the red sandalwood chair in the main hall, majestic and handsome, and had a completely different temperament from when he was in Mojiazhuang.

Seeing Yue Qingning sitting below, he was a little uncomfortable, and asked, "What?" Not happy with the house? ”

"Also...... Not bad. Yue Qingning replied absentmindedly.

"If you are not satisfied, tell your subordinates, and they will arrange it for you."

"Hmm." Yue Qing was sullen, she always felt that getting along with Chu Hanye now was not as comfortable as before.

Chu Hanye also noticed her awkwardness and frowned in displeasure; "What's wrong with you?"

Yue Qingning looked up at Chu Hanye, and opened her mouth a few times but didn't dare to say it.

"Don't grind and chirp." Chu Hanye ran out of patience.

"Night...... Yewang, I didn't understand the rules and offended a lot before, and I hope you don't remember the villain, don't worry about me, a little person who has never seen the world. ”

Chu Hanye saw that her smile was more ugly than crying, and he knew in his heart, he must have inquired about his identity with his subordinates, and he was afraid that he would settle old accounts, so he came to beg for mercy.

He suddenly had the idea of teasing her, deliberately kept a straight face, and stared at her with straight eyes: "Oh? This king still has a few needle holes on his body that you mistakenly pierced, so forget it? ”

Yue Qing wanted to cry without tears, he knew that he would be careful.

"That'...... So what do you want to do? ”

"Anyway, you have to put dozens of boards." Chu Hanye pretended to ask Qin Zhi beside him, and Qin Zhi nodded cooperatively.

"Dozens of boards! I'm going to die! Yue Qingning was frightened, it seemed that this thigh was not so easy to hold.

"Humph!" Chu Hanye snorted coldly: "Yes, if this king wants your life, it is as easy as pinching an ant to death." ”

Yue Qingning buried her head in frustration, she especially believed this.

"But this king won't do this to you, you just need to heal this king's eyes and legs, and I will try my best to meet your other requirements."

Yue Qingning thought that she had misheard, and when she raised her head, her gaze crashed into Chu Hanye's eyes.

Calm as water, shining.

"So you don't have to be afraid of me, what you were like when you were in Mojiazhuang, what you are now."

Yue Qingning breathed a sigh of relief, Chu Hanye has always done what he said, since he said that he didn't care, then he would pass this level.

She was happy again: "Then when are we going to see the shop?" ”

Yue Qingning remembered that Chu Hanye promised to give herself a shop in the capital to earn money, which was a top priority for her.

He's really a money junkie.

Chu Hanye was helpless, "Don't worry, it's already arranged, I'll take you to see it now." ”

The two of them sat in a carriage and walked for about half an hour.

Along the way, Yue Qingning lifted the curtains, wanting to see the bustling street scene of the capital. There are many shops on both sides of the street, the crowd is bustling and lively, and there are vendors and artists wandering around, and the shouting is covered by a while.

Although it is lively, it is not cluttered, and it is much cleaner than the rural towns in the past.

The carriage finally stopped, and Yue Qingning couldn't wait to get out of the car.

When she saw the building in front of her, she couldn't help but exclaim: "This is too big!" ”

In front of it is a three-storey shop, the second and third floors have open balconies, and the eaves railings are carved with a uniform magpie pattern, and the craftsmanship is exquisite and beautiful.

Steward Chen opened the three doors of the shop, and the whole room instantly lit up.

The lobby on the first floor is spacious, the floor tiles are fine bluestone slab tiles, and facing the door is a tall medicine cabinet, with two steps on the left and right, leading to the second floor.

"This shop was originally owned by Mr. Liang He, a famous doctor in the previous dynasty, after Mr. Liang He died, I bought it because I saw that this shop was good, and now it is just right for you to use."

Chu Hanye saw Yue Qingning's happy appearance, and his mood was also a lot happier.

Qin Zhi was a little worried on the side, and said in a deep voice in Chu Hanye's ear: "Master, as soon as we come back, we will be so high-profile, I'm afraid it will attract the attention of those over there." ”

Chu Hanye's smile gradually narrowed, and his eyes sank: "If you don't pay attention to it if you don't keep a high profile, won't you pay attention to it?" I'm afraid that from the moment we left, someone was watching. ”

Outside the shop, a horse-drawn carriage stopped quietly ten meters away.

"I didn't expect Chu Hanye to have such a big pomp as soon as he came back." Nangong Ming's slender fingers lifted the curtain slightly, and looked directly at the figures of the group in the shop, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Maybe he didn't want to hide it at all. It's been five years, and now the capital is lively again. Let's go, the emperor probably doesn't know about this yet, I have to send him a letter. ”

He lowered the curtain and seemed to think of something, his eyes were full of excitement and his face was full of interest.

Inside the Phoenix.

"What? Is the night back? The queen looked at Mama Liu, who inquired about the news for herself, with a look of surprise, and her hand holding the handkerchief tightened.

The crown prince is now in prison for embezzlement, and the courtiers who were originally attached to him are either implicated in prison or are simply avoided, and there is no one who can help the prince clear his name.

Her son has always been obedient and simple, although he is outstanding in Wen Taowu, but he is too righteous and benevolent, and will never do anything corrupt, but it is difficult to prevent the framing of sinister people.

Before Chu Hanye went to the fiefdom, he had a strong relationship with the prince and was like a brother, and the queen could only ask him for help now.

Mama Liu was a little worried: "Niangniang, Your Majesty has already been suspicious of you because of the prince's affairs, and if you go to the wild king now, I am afraid that it will make Your Majesty unhappy." ”

The queen frowned, and there was nothing she could do now.

On the day the crown prince was imprisoned, the emperor accused her of teaching and told her to reflect on it in Fengzao Palace, which was house arrest in disguise.

"I can't take care of it so much, Mama Liu, bring the venison soup stewed at noon in the palace and go to the Qinzheng Palace."

When the queen stepped into the Qinzheng Palace, Nangong Ming was reporting to the emperor about Chu Hanye's entry into Beijing.

"Father, the son saw the wild king on Jingjie today."

The emperor's pen froze, and after being stunned for a while, his expression remained as usual, and he said with a smile: "I think it has been five years since he left Beijing, I don't know how the past five years have been?" ”

The queen pretended to be surprised: "Oh? Your Majesty, did you summon the wild king back? ”

"Of course not, it's a long way from the fiefdom to the capital, and he can't move, how can I be willing to let him work hard and bump." The emperor was not in the mood to write it down, so he waved his hand and asked Gonggong Zhao on the side to remove the paper.

The queen took advantage of the situation and put a bowl of venison soup in front of the emperor, and took advantage of the emperor's taste and said: "It happens that tomorrow is the beginning of the autumn banquet, Your Majesty might as well summon the wild king into the palace, let's see how he has been doing in the past few years?" ”

The emperor raised his head and glanced at the empress meaningfully, noncommittal.

The queen was embarrassed, and she couldn't figure out the emperor's thoughts at the moment.

"Huang Eniang is right, presumably the news of Yewang's return to Beijing has spread at this time, if he doesn't pay attention to it and falls into the eyes of others, he thinks we have snubbed him."

Nangong Ming is very positive, he really wants to "greet" this wild king in person.

The emperor didn't put down his pen until he finished writing the pair of words in his hand, and said with a slight smile: "The emperor is reasonable, so call it." ”

Chu Hanye led Yue Qingning to finish the shop, and then took her to taste the famous dim sum in Beijing, listen to Jingqu'er, and watch juggling, until Yue Qingning was exhausted and it was completely dark, and then he went home.

"Oops, I'm so tired today, but I had a great time!" Yue Qingning touched her round little belly, slumped on the chair tiredly, as if she was about to fall asleep in the next second.

Bihuan led the maids over and saw the food boxes of various dim sum shops on the ground.

"Take it back to your girl, and give it to her tomorrow."

She didn't expect that the rumored ruthless wild king would accompany a woman to walk the street all afternoon, and he was so gentle and considerate, and there was doting in his eyes when he said that just now.

I was surprised, but I didn't slack off on the work in my hands, and I went down with my things.

Qin Zhi's eyebrows were faintly worried, and he said in a deep voice beside Chu Hanye: "Master, we have almost visited half of the capital in the afternoon, will it be ......?"

Chu Hanye was unhurried, picked up the teacup and took a sip with an indifferent expression.

"If I don't move much, those people in the palace will pretend not to know that I am returning to Beijing, and secretly do something. But now that the whole capital probably knows, they can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb. ”

As soon as the words fell, Steward Chen walked in with an envelope in his hand, and said after saluting: "Lord, the palace supervisor handed over an invitation, saying that the emperor and queen are very happy to hear that you have returned to Beijing, and tomorrow it happens that there will be a small banquet in the beginning of autumn, please enter the palace." ”

The corners of Chu Hanye's mouth were slightly hooked, but there was a layer of coldness in his eyes: "This is not coming?" ”

As soon as Yue Qingning heard the words "enter the palace", a clever person sat up and came to his senses.

"Yewang, you want to enter the palace?"

"What? Are you interested? Chu Hanye raised his eyebrows.

"Of course! Isn't the palace particularly magnificent? I've never seen what the palace looks like! She looked excited.

A "merely" wild king's mansion is already so magnificent, how luxurious is the gathering place of power and wealth in the world!

Chu Hanye couldn't help but chuckle, and really thought about it seriously: "The palace is naturally magnificent, if you want to go, go with me tomorrow." ”

Before Yue Qingning could be happy, Qin Zhixian on the side was anxious: "Master, how can she let her go, she doesn't understand any rules, besides, it's dangerous inside......"

Chu Hanye glanced at Qin Zhi, Qin Zhi stopped talking, but there was unwillingness in his eyes.

"I know what you're worried about, that's why I'm carrying her with me. She understands medicine and is good at pharmacology, and if I have any way, she can treat me in time. ”

What Chu Hanye said made sense, and Qin Zhi acquiesced.

Yue Qingning looked at the two of them with a confused expression: "Is the atmosphere wrong with the two of you?" Doesn't it sound like entering the palace, but like going to Hongmen for a banquet? ”

"Hongmen Banquet? That's right. ”

Yue Qingning couldn't see Chu Hanye's mood at the moment, but he could faintly feel that it must not be easy to enter the palace this time.

On the second day, Yue Qingning was woken up early by Bihuan.

Yesterday I was tired from a lot of exercise, and I couldn't sleep enough today, Yue Qingning looked a little out of energy.

Bihuan and a few little maids carried a piece of clothing in their hands to change for Yue Qingning, but after she sobered up a little, she looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and it turned out to be the same peach-colored short-cardigan top and goose yellow embroidered pleated skirt as Bihuan.

"Why am I dressed like this?"

Seeing that his hair was also combed into two round little chirps by the Golden Finch, similar to Nezha, Yue Qingning was a little disappointed.

She thought that it was rare to enter the palace, and she could wear beautiful clothes.
