Chapter 49: The Invitation of the Three Princes

Bi Yuntao returned to the study of the Qi Mansion with the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine took a sip of the hot tea handed over by the subordinate and asked, "Reconciled?" Bi Yuntao nodded a little embarrassed.

"You! Let the mother say what is good for you? When you fall in love with a girl, you have to bring your mother and concubine, look at the way you dare not breathe in front of the left minister, where did you go to rob the people's daughters before? ! It's a shame that you are still the fourth prince who has changed color among the people, and when you see a left-hand look like a mouse and a cat, you are timid, do you only dare to steal jade and steal incense? ! ”

Bi Yuntao's face was embarrassed, looking up to the sky and speechless, this concubine, what are you doing, this is a few falls, it is the fourth prince who robbed the people's daughter, is it okay, not me, although I am now the fourth prince, but ...... It's really not me!

When Bi Yuntao was embarrassed by the imperial concubine, someone from outside the door came to say, "Guifei Niangniang, the prince, the third prince sent someone to send an invitation, saying that the prince will be invited to a banquet in a week." ”

Bi Yuntao shouted in his heart that it was a good time, and he quickly took the invitation with a sigh of relief, looking at the content of the invitation, he was confused, and he didn't know what the third prince had in mind. After taking a closer look at the location of the banquet, it turned out to be Miaochun Pavilion, which made Bi Yuntao stunned.

"What's wrong, Tao'er? But what's the problem? The imperial concubine saw Bi Yuntao in a daze at the invitation and asked.

Bi Yuntao handed the invitation to his mother, pointed to the location written on the invitation, and said lightly: "The venue for the banquet turned out to be Miaochun Pavilion." ”

The imperial concubine frowned, looked at the three words of Miaochun Pavilion written on the invitation, and a look of displeasure rose in her heart, "If this concubine is not mistaken, it should be a famous Qinglou in the capital, and these three princes will do what they like." ”

"Huh!" Bi Yuntao laughed dryly, and hurriedly changed the topic to cover up the embarrassment caused by being exposed by his mother concubine, "The third prince actually asked me to go under the name of Yu Yao'er, I think they must not have any good ideas, it seems that this banquet is estimated to be very interesting." ”

"Oh?" The imperial concubine's eyes flashed, "How do you say this?" ”

"Wasn't it the day of the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Miaochun Pavilion last time, an Oiran came from Jinling to help the Miaochun Pavilion, Ruolang and I also went over to take a look at the excitement, and found that the three princes had a close relationship with the top brand of the Miaochun Pavilion, Yu Yao'er." After a pause, he continued: "Moreover, Ruolang and I were assassinated on the way back to the house, and the assassin was discovered by Ruolang in advance, and then he went to chase the assassin, so I went back to the house directly, but I didn't expect to be followed halfway, and the person who followed was Yu Yao'er, the top brand of Miaochun Pavilion. ”

After listening to Bi Yuntao's words, the imperial concubine frowned and thought for a long time before asking, "In this case, do you want to refuse, Tao'er?" ”

Bi Yuntao touched the corners of his mouth, and a touch of madness appeared in his eyes, "Refuse? No, doesn't the concubine also want to know what they want to do again, and besides, I also want to meet that Yu Yao'er for a while, it has made me very unhappy to be followed by her before, they have been hiding behind their backs, although they have resisted their intrigues and tricks these times, but what if I can't defend it next time?! As the old saying goes, the best defense is offense. ”

"You're right." The Imperial Concubine nodded, thinking that this would be possible, but she was not sure how sure he was going to this banquet. "And what about your safety?"

"It's okay, if you don't get into the tiger's den, it's not a way to always escape, not to mention that the kind of indiscriminate means last time didn't do anything to me, you don't have to worry about it this time, I will definitely be able to get out of it."

The imperial concubine heard the strong confidence in his words, although she didn't know where he got her confidence, but after all, she was her own son, so she was still a little worried, he didn't know martial arts, and listening to him, that Yu Yao'er seemed to know a little kung fu. "Do you want Xiaolan and Meng Ruolang to go with you?"

"No, the three princes all knew that Ruolang was already good at martial arts last time, and it would only be bad to call him along, and it might backfire, but I could let him protect me on the road, I'm afraid that if they get angry and send someone to ambush me on the way back to the house, this kind of assassination is not once or twice. As for Xiaolan...... Bi Yuntao thought for a moment, "She's better to stay in the mansion." But there's no hurry, the banquet is scheduled for next week, just in time to give us time to plan. ”

"Hey!" The imperial concubine sighed, "Whatever you want." Then he called his subordinates and asked them to tell the person who sent the post, and asked him to return to the three princes, and the king of Qi would definitely arrive on time on the day of the banquet.

After the subordinates retreated, they remembered one thing, and then said to Bi Yuntao: "The mother concubine contacted Xiaolan today, and I feel that this maid is still good, but I can't just stay by your side and be ruined by you, so the mother concubine decided to take Xiaolan back to the palace to train well." ”

"Forehead ......" Bi Yuntao's action of drinking tea froze, his face was embarrassed, and he didn't want Xiaolan to follow his mother back to the palace, so he had been serving himself for a few days, he was injured in the past few days, and Meng Ruoxi's affairs made him very upset, so he didn't have time to tease Xiaolan at all.

The imperial concubine also saw the embarrassment on his face, knowing his son Mo Ruomu, she knew at a glance what he was thinking, "Don't think about refusing, even if you refuse, it's useless, I know what you're thinking." You have just reconciled with Ruoxi now, Xiaolan has always been by your side, which will only hinder you, and you don't want the relationship you just eased to crack again. The imperial concubine picked the tea leaves in the tea with the lid of the cup, and said seriously: "You have been forced to get on the ship of the left minister, and now the main purpose is to hold on tightly and have a good relationship with Ruoxi. ”

"That'...... All right! Let Xiaolan go back to the palace with her mother! But you can't bully her, mother! ”

"Don't worry." Hearing the mother's answer, she took a sip of tea with a sigh of relief. "When will the concubine let her come back?"

The imperial concubine glanced at him, and was a little displeased to see that he was so attentive to this maid, "Without my consent, I won't let her see you." ”

"Ahem!" The mother's answer made Bi Yuntao choke. "Don't! Xiaolan is very comfortable serving, and there is no one of the opposite sex in this house, so I am bored to death. ”

"Humph! Day by day, I know how to think about it! The imperial concubine put down the teacup hard, saw the embarrassment on Bi Yuntao's face, and sighed, "Mother, this is all for your good, you will know later." Bi Yuntao still had a few rebuttals, but the imperial concubine didn't give him a chance at all, "Okay, since there is nothing to do, the mother concubine will take Xiaolan back to the palace first." ”

Seeing the unquestionable attitude of the concubine, she had to give up, and called Xiaolan in frustration and asked her to follow the concubine back to the palace.

Looking at the disappeared figures of the mother concubine and Xiaolan with a disappointed face, he sighed, yes, this time the entire Qi Wangfu has become a monk temple again.

At this time, in a room of Miaochun Pavilion, there were a few people sitting, each of them was lightly furrowed, with a calm and chic expression, several of them were dressed as scholars, and the middle one was handsome, gorgeously dressed, and there was a kind of noble air in the expressions and movements.

"Third prince, will King Qi really come over to the banquet? King Qi already knows the relationship between me and you, and my tracking last time has been discovered by him. Seeing that no one spoke, Yu Yao'er took the first step to speak.

The third prince patted the back of her hand gently, "Don't worry, King Qi is a lustful person, last time he was proud of you for ten thousand taels of silver but couldn't get it, and I saw your face on the flower boat again, in order to spend the Spring Festival with you, even if I know that this banquet is not simple, I will definitely come." ”

"The third prince is just a lustful King of Qi, do you need the third prince to come forward in person? Any one of us can come forward, and now that you have come forward to invite him personally, you may think too highly of him. ”

This time it was a fair-skinned young man who spoke, with a long body and a jade body, in such a late autumn weather, still shaking a folding fan in his hand, shaking it around without hurry, looking a little nondescript, but everyone didn't say anything, obviously this one is also very promising.

"Brother Shen, the third prince is not giving face to King Qi, what Brother Shen said just now is right, King Qi is probably just a lustful gentleman, as far as he is concerned, he has lost the right to inherit the throne, and he is really worthless, but there is a figure of Zuo Xiang behind him, and the woman of the imperial concubine can achieve today's position, obviously not a vegetarian. The third prince is to give face to Zuo Xiang and the imperial concubine again. A man who was a little older than him said slowly.

"Huh! How's that going? You are afraid of Zuo Xiang, I am not afraid, my father is against Zuo Xiang in the court, if you invite Zuo Xiang, maybe I am still afraid of three points, but just a Qi king, I don't care about it. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone frowned, this Shen Xu simply didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, relying on his Lao Tzu to be the head of the household, and he was deeply respected by the right minister, and he had done a few beautiful things for the emperor over the years, and he was promoted to the position of the head of the household book, so he didn't know who he was.

Shen Xu was originally the son of the Hubu Shangshu family, and it was pitiful to say, the Hubu Shangshu was an old man, and he was very sorry for this Shen Xu baby, as I said before, the Hubu Shangshu was the person next to the right minister, and he had been a little ambiguous with the second prince before, but the recent situation of the second prince was really a bit miserable, not to mention the emperor's military power, and the assassination of the king of Qi failed, and he was sent out by the emperor to suppress the bandits. And this Shen Xu met the wind and the rudder, and as soon as he saw that the second prince was weak, he turned around and took refuge in the third prince, as for why he didn't take refuge in the eldest prince, of course, the eldest prince didn't cut down with people like him.

This person is beautiful and white-skinned, not like a man, and his personality is an out-and-out reckless temper, but he is still proud of himself and does not take anyone in his eyes.

The reason why the third prince invited him to narrate together was because he and Bi Yuntao had the same smell. But seeing him behave like this today, I was a little worried about whether he would mess things up on the day of the banquet.

"Brother Shen!" The third prince took a drink and said unhurriedly: "King Qi has been arrogant recently, and he has destroyed the good things of this prince several times, which can be said to be a thorn in the heart of this prince, the purpose of this banquet is to deal with King Qi, and when the time comes, don't mess things up for this prince!" ”

After all, the third prince has been in a high position for a long time, although he does not serve in the court, but that kind of momentum is not something that a gentleman can bear.

Shen Xu listened to the coldness and murderous intent in the words of the three princes, and cold sweat flowed from his forehead, "Three princes, you can rest assured, the banquet in a week will definitely be successful, even if a mere King of Qi can destroy your good deeds, there must be the help of Zuo Xiang and the Imperial Concubine behind it, no matter how much Zuo Xiang and the Imperial Concubine are fingered to the sky on the day of the banquet, it is impossible to follow the King of Qi to this land of fireworks." ”

When the older man heard what Shen Xu said, he nodded in agreement, "Yes!" Third prince, what Brother Shen said also makes some sense, but for the sake of insurance, I think it's better to do some ambushes, and I'm ready for emergencies. ”

Yu Yao'er was a little unhappy when she heard this, and her face was frosty, "What, does Han Gongzi look down on Yu Yao'er?!" You don't think I can't get rid of a piece of waste that no one protects?! ”

"That's it! Yao'er, Brother Han also made this kind of suggestion for the sake of the success of the plan, and it was also for the sake of this prince, so don't blame Brother Han. "The third prince hurriedly stopped Yu Yao'er, now is not the time to quarrel.

"But! He ......, "Yu Yao'er is unwilling, she is very confident in her martial arts."

The third prince got up and took Yu Yao'er into his arms, hugged her on his lap, reached into his clothes and began to put his hands up and down, biting her earlobe, and whispering in her ear, "Okay! It's not that he doesn't trust your abilities, we all have faith in you, and we set up an ambush just in case. ”

Yu Yao'er was flushed by him, and moaned, "En! Everything is up to Your Highness. ”

Everyone looked at the two of them, looked at each other and smiled, and quietly retreated.
