Zhou Mujiao frowned: "Leaving the Tribute Courtyard early in the morning?" Even if the emperor took him back to Beijing with him, he should send someone to send a letter home. ”

"Are you so sure that Zhao Yunjing was brought back to Beijing by the emperor, not taken away?" Chen Gongzi was puzzled.

"The emperor originally came for the two of you, as for why he took him away first and left you behind - I heard that Miss Chen recently went back to her parents' house to live, and it was rumored that Miss Chen was not in good health, presumably Chen Gongzi used this as an excuse to reject the emperor's proposal."

"You're really smart. But it's not a good thing to be too smart. Gillian, in addition to the next and the sixteenth prince, more and more people have noticed you. Chen Gongzi lowered his voice, "I hope I misheard, the sixteenth prince intends to let the emperor marry Zhao Yunjing, and at the same time point you to him." ”

Zhou Mujiao's face sank, and she turned her head and was about to leave the city, but Chen Gongzi stopped her again and persuaded her to calm down and not be impulsive.

"Miss Zhou, if the sixteenth prince has a tough attitude, with the emperor's attention to him, I am afraid that the will has already come down. Don't say that you and Zhao Yunjing are not engaged, that is, you have become relatives, the sixteenth prince wants it, and you and Zhao Yunjing have no ability to resist, only obediently. ”

"What about the sixteenth prince?"

"A quarter of an hour ahead of us, if he hadn't stayed, I'm afraid he would have been out of town."

Zhou Mujiao turned around and ran, and the two bodyguards followed suit, and just after they ran to the city gate, someone led the horse: "Girl, the sixteenth prince left the city half an hour ago, and if you hurry up, you will soon be able to catch up." ”

There is a very delicate mountain ten miles away from Yuzhou City, which means that the mountain is small.

A pavilion was built on the top of the mountain, standing on the top of the mountain, you can see far and far along the official road, if there are carriages and horses coming, you can also see it for the first time on this mountain, so this mountain has become the best place for the people of Yuzhou to send off their relatives and friends.

Zhou Mujiao rode her horse and raised her whip, and saw the octagonal pavilion from a distance, and when she got closer, she saw the large group of people and horses under the mountain.

Someone came up to stop the horse, saying that the sixteenth prince invited her to the pavilion, and did not let the accompanying bodyguards follow, the bodyguards naturally disagreed, the sixteenth prince Sima Zhao's heart is well known, and they are not allowed to accompany him, if the sixteenth prince suddenly has a wild temperament and lightens Miss Zhou, what should it be?

"Girl, let's go back to the city, Zhao Gongzi didn't come back with a message, it must be fine."

The bodyguard still has a hidden word that he hasn't said.

In the past two years, Zhou Mujiao's intelligence network has been covered by the joint efforts of Jiang Wuyu and Du Zhusheng, not to mention the entire beam, from Yuzhou Mansion to the capital, a few mosquitoes flew through the checkpoint a quarter of an hour ago, and they are all clear.

And the emperor returned to Beijing for such a big battle, the intelligence station naturally paid attention to it, and the few people who accompanied him, who were in it, what were the whereabouts of those people, what their weaknesses were, and what kind of people they were, they had long been clear.

Therefore, if Chen Gongzi did not lie, and Zhao Yunjing was also in the team to return to Beijing, and something had happened, then the intelligence station should have a letter back at this time.

Zhou Mujiao also thinks so.

She looked around, fixed her gaze on the little guy leading the horse not far away for half a second, moved away, and said, "Since the prince is waiting here, the folk girl naturally can't help but know how to lift." Lead the way! ”

It was the middle of August, the weather was still a little hot, and it was noon, Zhou Mujiao was already sweating when she went to the pavilion, but the sixteenth prince was refreshing and unaffected, and in a blink of an eye, Zhou Mujiao saw a familiar basin at the left and right feet of the sixteenth prince - ice basin.

Before, she handed Boss Tang a secret recipe for making ice, and after Boss Tang's repeated trials, she developed an ice basin with heat preservation function, and on summer nights, only one ice basin was needed to sleep peacefully, so since the ice basin came out, it quickly became popular throughout the beam.

However, although the price of the ice basin is not large, it is a fast-moving consumer goods, unless it is a particularly hot night, ordinary people are willing to use it, and the royal family of the Sixteen Princes is naturally prepared wherever they go.

Turning her eyes away, Zhou Mujiao sat down at the table and said directly: "I heard that the prince wants to carry me into the mansion?" Can the people's daughter ask what position the prince gave to the people's daughter? ”

The sixteenth prince was drinking tea, his posture was quite chic, and he was choked by Zhou Mujiao's straight ball question, and coughed.

"A princess, a side concubine, a noble concubine, a concubine, or a concubine?" Zhou Mujiao said again.

The sixteenth prince originally wanted to get her into the mansion as a concubine, because in his eyes, Zhou Mujiao was just a village woman, although she was quite knowledgeable, but she was infected with the smell of copper in business, and she showed up outside every day, not to mention, but also dealt with different men, if it wasn't for her good looks and quite attractive temperament, he didn't want to touch it.

Now he was stared at and asked, he couldn't be rectified at the time, and he stammered and asked her what position she wanted.

"Everyone has a phoenix dream, and the folk girl is a vulgar person, and naturally it is no exception." Zhou Mujiao smiled confidently, "Lord, I want to be the sixteenth princess." ”

The sixteenth prince looked at her like a fool: "Did you say something wrong or did this king hear it wrong, what did you say you were going to do?" ”

"Sixteen princesses. The main concubine, not the side concubine. ”

"How dare you think about it?"

"The folk girl has always dared to think and do, but I don't know if the sixteen princes have the determination and courage to challenge the ancestral system."

"A businesswoman also wants to be a concubine, you are really crazy."

"So the prince refuses?"

"The ancestral system cannot be violated, the main concubine of this king must be Miss Gaomen, Miss Zhou is still provincial."

"So the prince just wants to play with the people's daughters? Then I won't agree. Zhou Mujiao smiled at the corner of her mouth, "The prince brought the folk girl back, and after two days, he turned his head and threw me in the backyard, the prince only said that this is the supreme glory for me, but I don't know how hard I want to live in your backyard." ”

"The Sixteen Wangfu is not the Longtan Tiger's Den, there are no concubines and side concubines in the mansion, only two concubines, with your cleverness and wisdom, are you afraid that you won't be able to suppress those two concubines?"

"What if you can't hold it down?"

The sixteenth prince sank his face: "This king said that the palace is not a tiger's den in Longtan-"

"Of course, because the palace is—hell."

"Presumptuous!"

The sixteenth prince slapped the table: "Zhou Mujiao, don't think that this king likes you now, you can be no big or small!" Provoke me, I cut off your head! ”

"It turns out that the prince likes me to cut off my head, so the prince should cut off my head now, lest I lose my fun fighting in the backyard house in the future, and find an opportunity to kill the prince."

I want the life of the prince......

The people waiting on the side were so frightened that they hissed in their hearts, thinking that this girl is really timid, not to mention that she is just a small village woman, she is the young lady of the Gaomen family, and the prince wants her life, it is just a matter of one sentence, and at most she can give her a little benefit to the family behind her.

And Zhou Mujiao is just a village woman, the prince just killed her and threw her everywhere, and no one dared to collect her body within three months.

"I only have respect and fear for the prince, there is no personal relationship between men and women, if the prince has to bring the people back to the house, then bring it, anyway, the people have already said ugly things in front, if the prince is not afraid, then the people will go back to the house with the prince now."
