On the day of the funeral of the three princes, every household in the capital city hung white silk, thousands of people mourned for it, the emperor had a decree, and the people of the Yan Dynasty were not allowed to do happy events during the mourning period, and they were not allowed to enjoy themselves and make a lot of noise, for a period of seven days.

In order to avoid mistakes, all the major restaurants and teahouses in the capital have closed their doors, and the green buildings have also closed down, which can suffocate the people of the capital in these seven days.

For example, Chen Yue'an.

Just after the mourning period, Chen Yuean ran to Shen Mansion to ask Shen Sitang to go out to eat meat, Shen Sitang saw that his face was full of anticipation and couldn't bear to refuse, and followed him to Huamanlou.

Chen Yue'an took her to sit at the square table by the window on the second floor, downstairs is the crowded Changhua Street, the shouting of the vendors is endless, it is a good place to enjoy the customs of the capital.

Red bean crisp and crystal elbow are a must, and there are plenty of other things to eat, and a large table is filled.

"Qianning, do you taste this red bean crisp, is it much better than Yichun Courtyard?"

Shen Sitang took a bite and nodded in his expectant eyes.

Chen Yue'an put the crystal elbow in front of her again: "If you taste this elbow again, the capital is a must!" ”

Shen Sitang tasted it as he said and affirmed: "It's delicious." ”

"Right!" Chen Yue'an was comfortable, picked up the chopsticks and ate: "Last time, I said I wanted to invite you to eat, and I have been thinking about it." ”

Shen Sitang nodded and affirmed Chen Yue'an's character: "Brother Chen really does what he says. ”

"That's it!" Chen Yue'an looked proud, and said with a smile: "Today can be regarded as happy." ”

Shen Sitang casually continued: "What? Brother Chen has been unhappy for a few days? ”

Chen Yue'an sighed and complained to Shen Sitang: "You don't know, I'm unlucky, do you remember the day we went to Yichun Courtyard to investigate the case?" ”

Shen Sitang nodded: "Remember, what's wrong?" ”

Chen Yue'an gritted his teeth: "I don't know who sued in front of the governor, saying that I was derelict in my duties and took a girl of your house to visit the Qinglou, and the governor was so angry that he punished me for half a year." ”

"Huh? Didn't you explain the reason to the Governor? ”

"I said, the Governor doesn't care about this, what the Governor means is that if I want to investigate the case secretly, I have to avoid people's eyes, and if I can't do it, I have to admit it."

Shen Sitang comforted: "Brother Chen has been punished, why don't I invite you this time." ”

Chen Yue'an waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just half a year's money, it's just my day's expenses, brother, what I have is silver, you don't have to worry about eating openly." ”

Shen Sitang understood, she said that Chen Yue'an had the taste of a rich second generation, and she was familiar with this temperament.

"Huh..."Chen Yue'an suddenly stretched his neck and looked downstairs: "Is that the carriage of His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince?" ”

Shen Sitang heard the words of the six princes, subconsciously looked downstairs, and sure enough, he saw the familiar luxury carriage, as well as Zhou Zifu and Tang Yihui riding on both sides.

It was self-evident who was sitting in the carriage.

Chen Yue'an shook his head incomprehensibly: "The sixth prince is going to play chess with the Duke again?" Anyway, I can't get off the governor, what's the point? ”

This direction is indeed where the Inspectorate is located.

"The six princes often play chess with the Duke?"

Chen Yue'an nodded: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince spends at least half of his days every year playing chess with the Governor in the Inspectorate, rain or shine." ”

Shen Sitang asked curiously, "Your Majesty doesn't say anything?" ”

Generally, emperors are suspicious, and the prince is so close to the important ministers of the court that it is inevitable that he will be criticized.

Chen Yue'an stuffed a crystal elbow into his mouth, and said inarticulately: "If you are another prince, you may say it, but Your Majesty loves the Six Princes the most, no matter what he does, he is conniving, even if the Six Princes are about to move out of the palace before they are crowned kings, Your Majesty is also obedient, and he has given such a big mansion." ”

Shen Sitang propped his chin, his eyes fell on the luxurious carriage, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Suddenly, Zhou Zifu looked up, and happened to meet Shen Sitang's gaze, he was slightly stunned and then saluted Shen Sitang, and Shen Sitang smiled politely back.

As the carriage drifted away, Chen Yue'an beckoned Shen Sitang to eat and chatted with her.

——

Jun Tingyan sat in the luxurious carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate, and suddenly heard Zhou Zifu's voice: "Your Highness, my subordinates saw Miss Shen just now." ”

As soon as Zhou Zifu finished speaking, Tang Yihui picked up on the other side: "I also saw it, eating in Huamanlou, and sitting opposite seems to be the Zuo Yushi of the Inspectorate?" ”

"That's right, it's Lord Zuo Yu Shi Chen."

Tang Yihui muttered: "How could Miss Shen dine with Lord Chen, she is not from the Inspectorate." ”

Zhou Zifu glanced at him, glanced at the carriage and said, "Lord Chen has worked with Miss Shen, and it is normal to have a meal together. ”

Tang Yihui responded with a dry smile: "Yes, yes, yes, it's normal!" ”

The Jun Ting Banquet in the carriage did not speak from beginning to end, and Zhou Zifu and Tang Yihui did not dare to speak again.

——

Lakeside, inside the octagonal pavilion.

The Governor of the Inspectorate, Yu Shi Fu Yun, is playing against the Six Princes at the Banquet, and the two of them have already played two games.

"Your Highness's chess skills are becoming more and more sophisticated." Fu Yun was dressed plainly as usual, always with a gentle and elegant smile on his face.

Jun Tingyan held the sunspot in his hand and placed it on the chessboard, and said indifferently: "It's a pity that I can't win the governor." ”

"Chess is not about winning or losing, but about the big picture."

"But if you lose, you lose, and if you win, you win."

"Your Highness is still too persistent."

The Junting banquet fell again, and suddenly changed the topic: "Why didn't you see the right imperial history when you came today?" Are there any recent cases in the Inspectorate? ”

Fu Yun raised his eyes and glanced at him, and smiled: "Huaichuan? He is not on duty today. ”

"Oh?" Jun Tingyan said lightly: "When the main hall passed through the Huamanlou, I saw Zuo Yushi eating there, and I thought that he was resting today. ”

Fu Yun raised his eyebrows quietly: "Xu is the lunch of the Inspectorate is not to his liking, Yue An is rich and noble, and his mouth is a little picky." ”

"The food in the Inspectorate still needs to be improved, and the only son of the Chen family, the richest man in the Yan Dynasty, is passionate about serving the imperial court, and he can't be wronged."

Fu Yun nodded: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Chen Yue'an and Shen Sitang had lunch and drank tea for a while, and came back satisfied, he sneezed several times along the way, and was stopped by an official as soon as he entered the inspector's courtyard, saying that the governor was looking for him, he didn't think much about it and went to the elegant courtyard where Fu Yun was, and saw the banquet of the six princes outside the courtyard.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince." Chen Yue'an saluted respectfully.

Jun Tingyan stared at him indifferently for a moment, and then snorted inaudibly before he said lightly: "No courtesy." ”

Chen Yue'an was a little stunned, and after seeing Jun Tingyan walk away, he scratched his head with question marks on his head.

How do you feel that His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness doesn't like him? Has he offended the Sixth Highness? When?
