Bianjing was always orderly and bustling, and Cao Bin's carriage passed through the crowded streets, and soon returned to the Zhongjing Marquis's mansion.

At this time, the blazing sun has begun to set in the west, and it is time to let go of Bianjingcheng, who has been steamed and roasted for a day.

Several of the women in the Hou Mansion were cooling off in the shade of the back garden.

Cao Bin changed out of his official uniform, put on a cool silk robe, and just sat down next to Pang Yanyan, who was already pregnant, and his daughter, who was less than two years old, struggled out of the nurse's arms, and shouted with her short legs:

"Daddy hugs ......"

Cao Bin lifted her up, and the little girl suddenly giggled.

Pang Yanyan watched him tease his daughter with a smile on her face, her jade hand gently stroked her bulging belly, her eyes were full of anticipation, and Master Li and the others were talking about the little girl's interesting story on the side.

At this moment, the little girl at the gate of the garden suddenly said:

"Master Hou, Princess Zhaoyang has arrived."

Cao Bin was a little depressed when he heard this, good guy, he avoided Li Qingzhao, he didn't hide from her, he actually found his own house, and regretted leaving her the back door.

You won't come to trouble yourself, will you?

Although he is shameless, he still has to save face in front of women, and he takes advantage of the danger of others to take her niece into the house, and his heart is always a little empty.

Cao Bin was about to hand over the little girl to Du Shi Niang, and went out to hide by himself, when the little girl in his hand suddenly released a clear water line and drenched Cao Bin.

He looked at the innocent little girl with a little depressed eyes, and said speechlessly:

"You stinky girl did it on purpose, right?"

The little girl tilted her head and looked at him for a while, her mouth curled, tears were already brewing in her eyes, and her big eyes were full of grievances.

Seeing this, Cao Bin immediately felt distressed, and was busy coaxing her, but was hugged by Du Shi Niang and stopped:

"Cao Lang don't pay attention to her, this dead girl is used to pretending to be pitiful, but she can't be too arrogant."

Seeing her mother looking at herself with a bluffing face, the little girl suddenly shrank her neck, quickly covered her eyes with both hands, and made a look of covering her ears and stealing the bell, which caused the girls to laugh for a while.

"This ghost girl, I'm afraid of her mother."

Cao Bin was not surprised to see this, this daughter was pampered by the whole house, but Du Siniang never pretended to her.

And because of Du Shi Niang's physique, since she gave birth to a girl, she has no milk, and rarely takes her for a long time, so she is quite majestic in front of her.

At this time, Princess Zhaoyang had already walked into the garden with the female officer, and when she saw the scene in front of her, a trace of imperceptible envy flashed in her eyes.

Pang Yanyan stopped laughing at this time, and hurriedly got up and said:

"Husband, go and change your clothes, Yanyan will greet the princess first."

Although she probably knew that Princess Zhaoyang and Cao Bin had a leg, the national gift could not be ambiguous, so she wanted to get up to greet her.

When Princess Zhaoyang heard this, she hurriedly stepped forward and pressed her down:

"It's all my own people, Yanyan is pregnant again, so there is no need to be polite."

After speaking, he smiled embarrassedly again, and looked at Zhao Fujin, who was standing on the side and saluting stupidly, feeling a little helpless.

"This palace came this time, one is to visit Yanyan, and the other is to visit Fujin."

As he spoke, he looked at Cao Bin and said with a playful smile:

"Marquis Zhongjing won't be unwelcome, right?"

What can Cao Bin say? Of course it's welcome.

It's just that she is secretly vigilant, if she makes a request, she must not let go, and it is a big deal to return Zhao Fujin. As for whether she can marry or not, it's none of her business.

got a satisfactory answer, Princess Zhaoyang didn't take it big, she was very affectionate to Cao Bin's wife and concubine, and there was a little girl who livened up the atmosphere at the dinner, but she was also happy.

Soon it was time for dinner, and the banquet was set up in the garden of the Hou Mansion.

At this time, Zhao Fujin looked at the brightly lit banquet and the flowers and trees, and suddenly mustered up his courage and asked expectantly:

"Master Hou, Fujin wants to draw the banquet, you ...... Can you give me some pointers? ”

Princess Zhaoyang saw that her niece was full of expectation and reverence for Cao Bin, and couldn't help but want to touch her forehead.

This niece was so stupid that she was sent to the Zhongjing Marquis Mansion by her father, not thinking about her future, but getting up like a fish in water, and all she wanted was to let Cao Bin guide her painting skills.

After the banquet, Princess Zhaoyang got the opportunity to talk to Cao Bin alone.

In the backyard study.

In addition to the female officials guarding the door, only Cao Bin and Princess Zhaoyang remained.

At this time, Princess Zhaoyang was already a little drunk, and she lay on the couch as if she had no intention of saying:

"How does Cao Lang plan to settle Fujin?"

Cao Bin was about to pretend again, but was interrupted by Princess Zhaoyang:

"Cao Lang accepts her as a concubine, right?"

Hearing this, Cao Bin was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, he heard Princess Zhaoyang continue:

"Now that I think about it, it's because the concubine is troublesome, and sometimes a high position is not necessarily a good thing."

"I like the current relationship and atmosphere of Cao Lang's family, and I can't bear to destroy it, this is also Cao Lang's idea......"

As she spoke, she sighed:

"Speaking of which, with my brother's current situation, it is impossible for Fujin to marry into a rich family."

"Besides, even if it is a rich and noble family, which family can compare to Cao Lang here?"

Then, with some sorrow, she said:

"Even the concubines envy your concubines, but it's a pity that I don't have the guts, nor do I have this blessing......"

Cao Bin understands her thoughts, how to say that she is also a royal princess, the sister of the first emperor, and she still has a lot of identity baggage in her heart.

There are many precedents in history for this kind of thing, even if someone says that she is promiscuous, it is instinctive to put her in a strong position, but she can't let go of her son when she works with other women in terms of name, and her identity is not allowed.

"How can there be such a good thing?"

Cao Bin thought that Princess Zhaoyang was here to trouble him, but he didn't expect that she was here to be a "pimp".

Just when he was secretly happy, he didn't expect Princess Zhaoyang to suddenly stretch out her slender fingers, grab his handle, and directly drag him to the couch, and wrapped her eyes like silk:

"Don't like the new and hate the old, you give me a child first, then you can go to Fujin ......"

Cao Bin was teased by her, his eyes rolled, and he feigned anger:

"You're too jealous with your niece, let's go, let's find her to comment."

As he spoke, he picked her up, lifted his feet and walked out.

When Princess Zhaoyang saw this posture, she immediately panicked and hurriedly said:

"What are you going to do, let me go, I won't ......"

Her personal female officer was listening to the movement in the house and calculating the rescue time, when she saw the door suddenly open, Cao Bin walked towards Zhao Fujin's residence with Princess Zhaoyang in her arms, and she didn't care about it, so she hurriedly chased after her robe.

In the hall of the West Cross Courtyard, Zhao Fujin was holding the "Night Banquet Map" and pondering carefully under the candle, when he saw Cao Bin breaking in with Princess Zhaoyang in his arms, he was immediately stunned, and then he was so ashamed that his face was red.

At this moment, I heard Cao Bin suddenly greet him:

"Fujin, come and help, let's fight the landlord together."

Zhao Fujin hesitated for a moment, hurriedly put away the "Night Banquet Picture", and stepped forward briskly with a red face......

Seeing that Zhao Fujin was obedient to Cao Bin's words, Princess Zhaoyang was very speechless, and she was ashamed to death, this stupid girl was too obedient and skilled? Have you practiced?

In Luoyang City at this time.

A middle-aged man dressed in cloth rode a donkey to a garden gate, and regardless of the darkness of the night, he knocked on the door:

"Go and inform your family Master Sima, just say that Wang Anshi, an old friend of Jiangnan, is visiting!"
