Time flies, and the three days are coming, and the streets of Yindu are still as lively as usual.

Ning Xiaochuan came to Zhenbaozhai by carriage, and the boss of Zhenbaozhai thought that he was coming to eat again, so he immediately greeted him with a flattery, but Ning Xiaochuan came up and told him that he wanted to see the son who held the poetry and wine conference last time.

When the boss saw Ning Xiaochuan's serious expression, he didn't dare to be sloppy, for fear of offending this plague god, so he smashed his treasure Zhai in a fit of rage, and hurriedly asked Xiao Er to contact him.

After a while, the boss ran over with an embarrassed face and said, "Ning Wushao, I really don't know where this son lives, but don't worry, I have already asked Xiao Er to inform his housekeeper, and there will be results soon." ”

"Young Master Ben won't wait, you bring me a message, Young Master Ben has prepared a surprise at the Xiangyue Inn in the south of the city, I hope he can arrive as soon as possible." After Ning Xiaochuan finished speaking, he turned around and got into the car and rushed to the south of the city.

The boss was stunned in place, and pondered: "Xiangyue Inn, is it better than my treasure house?" ”

……

In the palace.

A little eunuch hurriedly ran to the East Palace, and at this moment, Gao Yuan was drinking tea while looking at Ning Xiaochuan's file, still pondering how to win over Ning Xiaochuan.

"Your Highness, news from outside the palace." The little eunuch bowed and said, handing the letter respectfully.

The maidservant beside Gao Yuan took the letter, and the little eunuch bowed and retreated.

Gao Yuan opened the letter disappreciatively, thinking that it was an ordinary trivial matter, but when he saw Ning Xiaochuan, the whole person sat up.

"Come on, change clothes, I'm going to leave the palace." Gao Yuan shouted loudly, startling the maid next to him.

……

South of the city, Xiangyue Inn.

Ning Xiaochuan came to the door, this time he didn't see those guards who were paralyzed, only the dilapidated signboard, which seemed to tell people how old this inn was, he turned to the coachman and said, "Wait for me here in an hour." ”

"Yes, young master." After the coachman finished speaking, he drove the carriage away, and Ning Xiaochuan straightened his clothes and pushed the door in.

With the first experience, this time Ning Xiaochuan was familiar with the road, and soon came to the private room.

The man in the private room no longer stared at the chessboard and played chess with himself, nor did he have a guard around him, but read the scriptures in his hand alone.

He was reading and drinking tea at the same time, so comfortable, he looked like a student.

Seeing Ning Xiaochuan come in, the man put down the teacup, put his right hand in front of his mouth, and made a silent gesture at Ning Xiaochuan, "Young Master Ning, wait a minute, I'll finish reading it right away." ”

Ning Xiaochuan sneered inwardly, ignored the man, walked to the window, and looked around.

The location of this inn is not bad, you can see the merchants outside on the second floor, but in recent years, the west of the city has developed rapidly, compared to the west of the city, this side seems to be a lot more deserted.

After a while, the man put away the scriptures and got up to greet the guests, "I'm sorry, Young Master Ning, I've kept you waiting, I have a habit of reading books, I must finish reading this chapter, otherwise, this heart is as uncomfortable as a needle prick, and I hope to understand the slackness." ”

Ning Xiaochuan scolded in his heart, can this be done if he doesn't understand?

"It's a good thing to understand and like to read, but I can't, this book...... I was sleepy at the first reading. ”

"Young Master Ning, please take a seat." Seeing Ning Xiaochuan taking his seat, the man smiled lightly, "Young Master Ning can come here today as scheduled, which is really gratifying, and I hope that the answer given by Young Master Ning in the end is also happy." ”

Ning Xiaochuan bowed slightly: "This son, it's true that I came with the answer, but you also have to tell me who I chose to follow, otherwise I will sell myself in a daze?" You say yes. ”

The man nodded, "This makes sense, but Young Master Ning's heart is the same as Spiegel, I should have guessed a thing or two, then the prince will briefly introduce it, I am the prince of Dafeng, the current queen's concubine, Gao Ling." ”

As soon as he said this, Ning Xiaochuan understood, this was the second prince Gao Ling, and then he got up and bowed his hand: "Cao Min Ning Xiaochuan, meet His Royal Highness the Second Prince." ”

The word "two", Ning Xiaochuan said very seriously, Gao Ling's face flashed with a trace of anger, everyone in the palace knew that he Gao Ling was particularly disgusted by someone calling him the second prince.

Her mother is the current queen, according to the etiquette system, he is the eldest son, why should he let the son of a side concubine be the prince and ride on his head.

He Gaoling is no worse than the crown prince, and he is never willing to be only a second prince, and he will take back the position of the crown prince in whatever he says, because this should have belonged to him!

"Young Master Ning doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat." The anger only flashed in his eyes, and Gao Ling quickly returned to normal.

After Ning Xiaochuan sat down, he pondered carefully, so it was the crown prince or the third prince who came to the banquet that day, but judging by the appearance of that person, he should be older than Gao Ling, and it is estimated that he is the current prince.

"Second Highness, you should have explained your identity that day, so you have to guess randomly, if you knew that you were the second prince, then I would definitely arrive right away if you look for me, why bother so much......"

Ning Xiaochuan was obviously flickering again, and said while laughing.

Gao Ling endured the word "two" and tried his best to make himself look kinder.

"How can the identity of the children of the royal family be exposed casually, let alone the prince of the dynasty, let him go with what happened that day, no matter what the result of today, His Royal Highness believes that it is a thoughtful decision of Young Master Ning, and he will definitely not regret it easily."

Gao Ling said the word prince very seriously, as if reminding Ning Xiaochuan not to say the word "two" anymore.

Ning Xiaochuan deliberately pretended not to hear it, and continued to arch his hand and said: "Of course, but Second Highness, this ordinary people know mutual benefit when doing business, if I support Second Highness, what benefits will Second Highness give you?" ”

These three "second" highnesses in a row were speechless when Gao Ling said it, and even began to suspect that this Ning Xiaochuan was deliberate.

"Young Master Ning, if you support me, you will be the queen's person, behind the queen is the Gongsun family, you must know that the Jiangnan Gongsun family is a famous family.

With the Gongsun family as a backer, plus the support of the queen and the prince, Young Master Ning's future is bound to be a smooth road. Gao Ling said slowly, this technique of painting a big pie is indeed possible.

"That's ......"

Ning Xiaochuan pretended to ponder, Gao Ling above couldn't wait, and talked so much nonsense with Ning Xiaochuan, just waiting for Ning Xiaochuan to express his position, but Ning Xiaochuan asked so much, but he didn't say a word, which made him very anxious.

"What is Young Master Ning still worried about? Are you afraid that His Highness will rebel? Gao Ling said anxiously.

Ning Xiaochuan hurriedly shook his head, "It's not, but Second Highness, this refuge in the prince is not just my business, I don't have to think about it carefully, otherwise, you are waiting, I will go back and ask my old man and ask his opinion?" ”

"Ning Xiaochuan, you are playing with this prince!" Gao Ling's face was a little unhappy, and he said coldly.

You still want to go back and ask Ning Zhi, if Ning Zhi knows about this, Ning Zhi will have a straight temper, and it will be strange if this matter does not make trouble in the palace.

Ning Xiaochuan smiled again, "Don't be angry, Second Highness, it's just a joke." ”

"This prince doesn't have the time to joke with you, Ning Xiaochuan, what I said is already very clear, don't challenge my patience again."

Gao Ling's expression was extremely gloomy, although there were only the two of them in the entire room, Ning Xiaochuan knew that as long as he dared to say a word, he would definitely not be able to get out of the door of this inn.

Looking at Gao Ling's expression, Ning Xiaochuan pretended to be pondering, but in his heart he was thinking about what else could delay time.

At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open.

"When did the second brother like such a simple environment, I knew it was like this, it would be good for the elder brother to help you build one in the palace, why let the younger brother run so far."

Seeing Gao Yuan breaking in, Ning Xiaochuan's heart finally let go, fortunately, he finally came.

If this guy doesn't come again, he won't be able to survive this dangerous move......

Gao Ling looked at Gao Yuan, who suddenly visited, and his face instantly turned as black as the bottom of the pot, "The prince's affairs are his own, don't bother the eldest brother." ”

"Yo, Young Master Ning is also here, what a coincidence." Gao Yuan looked at Ning Xiaochuan, the corners of his mouth rose, but his gaze turned to Gao Ling.

"Second brother, Young Master Ning and you don't say anything about meeting you, you don't talk to me, as a brother, Young Master Ning drank a little too much that day, and it just so happens that I haven't had time to ask for some questions, since we meet here today, let's talk about it together."

Ning Xiaochuan hurriedly got up and bowed his hand, bowed his head and said: "Your Highness forgives your sins, the grass people are talking nonsense after drinking, I don't know if His Highness came in person, and I inadvertently collided with His Highness, and I hope that His Highness has a large number of them, don't worry about the grass people." ”

"Those who don't know are not guilty, get up." Gao Yuan said indifferently, Ning Xiaochuan got up and sat aside obediently, now it's up to the two brothers, the stage has been set up, and this good show should begin.

Gao Ling naturally knew that Ning Xiaochuan and Gao Yuan had met, but he didn't expect that he had been so careful, and he was still targeted by Gao Yuan, this Gao Yuan, no, should be the national teacher behind him, it was really ghostly.

"Big brother, you really have a lot of adults." Gao Ling said coldly: "This inn was chartered by me, even if you are the prince, you have no right to trespass." ”

"If I don't trespass, how will I know what you're plotting here? The prince sneaked out of the palace and secretly met with the prince of Liguo, who doesn't know what you think you are plotting......" Gao Yuan said calmly.

Seeing this, Ning Xiaochuan hurriedly got up and gave his hand again, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince misunderstood, and the second prince discussed some articles, calligraphy and paintings, and the second prince definitely didn't woo him, and he didn't intend to do anything. ”

"Ning Xiaochuan, ...... you" Gao Ling stared at Ning Xiaochuan angrily, at first he suspected that he was being manipulated by Ning Xiaochuan, and now he is even more convinced that this Ning Xiaochuan is here to set himself up.

"How dare you tease me!"

"The second prince is clear, and the grass people have no such intention." Ning Xiaochuan turned around again and saluted Gao Ling.

Originally, there was really nothing to do, but Ning Xiaochuan's rhetoric that there was no silver three hundred taels here, so that there was nothing to do, and now Gaoling really had a hard time.

"Second brother, my father is still here, if your behavior is known by my father, how disappointed he should be." Gao Yuan pretended to be sorry and said, staring at Gao Ling fiercely.

Gao Ling waved his sleeves, "Nonsense, as the crown prince, you can't hear such ridiculous words, it's ridiculous!" ”

"Ridiculous? So, aren't you talking about the writing and painting of the article? And it's a conspiracy? Gao Yuan shot the case, and a loud bang startled Ning Xiaochuan.

Ning Xiaochuan hurriedly stood up and arched his hand and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Second Prince, today's incident started because of the grass people, Ning Xiaochuan once again apologized to the two Highnesses, I hope the two of them will not be angry, so as not to hurt the feelings between the brothers." ”

"It's none of your business, you go first, I want to talk to my second brother." Gao Yuan waved his hand at Ning Xiaochuan.

Ning Xiaochuan was secretly happy in his heart, he could finally escape from this whirlpool of royal power temporarily, he hurriedly bowed and retreated, "Then I will retire below, and the two highnesses will please." ”

"Ning Xiaochuan, it's very good......" Gao Ling sneered and glared at Ning Xiaochuan, if his eyes could kill, it was estimated that he would have killed Ning Xiaochuan a hundred times.

After leaving the Xiangyue Inn, the coachman had already been waiting at the door in the carriage for a long time, and Ning Xiaochuan got into the car directly and rushed to the house.

Ning Xiaochuan in the carriage breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Gao Yuan came in time, otherwise it would be really difficult to get out, but after today, he could be regarded as offending the second prince.

That day, the poetry and wine conference was really the prince, this time it was even more troublesome, the prince helped himself out of the siege today, if he didn't say something, wouldn't he offend the prince again, and offended the prince and the second prince in Yindu one after another, I'm afraid it won't be able to gain a foothold......

Old Song Tou's plan to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf is really just an expedient measure......
