That night, a middle-aged man came to the outside of Yunhai Mansion, looked up and stared at the plaque on the door with an excited look for a long time, then took a deep breath and walked in with an expectant face.

In the side hall of Bibo Palace, Xia Ao was enjoying Liu Zhiyun's massage on Shangguan Xuan, while squinting at the middle-aged man kneeling on the ground below.

This man is short in stature, with a round face, and a pair of small eyes that are shrewd and cunning, and at first glance he is the kind of cunning person who works hard.

His name is Lai Yongqing, and he is a member of the Ministry of Officials.

Two years ago, the six princes came forward to rescue Lai Yongqing once because they were hostile to the five princes.

Since then, Lai Yongqing has been showing loyalty to the Six Princes in a different way, obviously wanting to climb up the pole and regard the Six Princes as his backer.

But the sixth prince was cautious, considering Lai Yongqing's treacherous and greedy temperament, he was worried that he would cause trouble for himself, so he kept away from it and refused to accept it.

Of course, this is also related to Lai Yongqing's identity in general, after all, a small outsider can't be put in his eyes.

But Xia Ao is different, he doesn't care about these things.

The reason why he asked people to pass on Lai Yongqing today was to give full play to Lai Yongqing's advantages and do one thing for him.

"you......"

Hearing Xia Ao's title, Lai Yongqing suddenly became excited, and his face showed excitement.

Lai, what a kind name!

Could it be that His Royal Highness has changed his mind and is ready to use himself?

"Yes, Your Highness, the lower officials are here!"

Seeing that Lai Yongqing was so excited, and even his face was red with excitement, Xia Ao couldn't help but be speechless.

Isn't there something wrong with this guy? As for this?

"Well, how have you been?"

Seeing Xia Ao and Yan Yue shushing him and asking for warmth, Lai Yongqing's eyes couldn't help but be excited, and he didn't know if he was really excited or pretended.

"Woo, Your Highness, Your Majesty... Hello official, thank you Your Highness for your concern......"

The corners of Xia Ao's eyes twitched, and Liu Zhiyun and Shangguan Xuan behind him also looked strange.

This person is too capable of pretending, right? The key is that it is still acting like the real thing, so that people can't see the flaws.

"That's fine. Lai, Lone wants you to do one thing for Lone. ”

Lai Yongqing's eyes suddenly widened, his eyes were full of surprise, and there was a bit of unreal dreaminess.

"What? You don't want to? ”

Seeing Lai Yongqing stunned in place, Xia Ao pretended to be displeased and frowned.

"Oh no, yes! The lower officials are willing! ”

Lai Yongqing came back to his senses and hurriedly waved his hand excitedly.

"Your Highness, the greatest wish of the lower official in this life is to be able to saddle the horse for you, and now that you have the opportunity, how can you not want to?"

"Your Highness, what you didn't say, from now on, Xia Guan will be one of your dogs! You just let the lower official run to the pit to eat, and the lower official is not ambiguous! ”

Shangguan Xuan frowned, and a look of displeasure and disdain flashed in her eyes.

This person is too vulgar and disgusting......

Xia Ao didn't care, and clapped his hands with satisfaction.

"Well, Lone appreciates your energy. This incident can be regarded as a test for you, if you do it well, you will be alone in the future. ”

"When the time comes, if anyone dares to bully you, just report the name of Lone and fight back!"

"Of course, if it doesn't work well......"

Lai Yongqing was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly patted his chest to reassure.

"Your Highness, don't worry, if it doesn't do well, the lower official will come to see you!"

Lai Yongqing knows very well that this is definitely the best opportunity for him to turn over, if he can grasp it, he can't say that the prospects are infinitely good!

If he is out of the basket, then he can only accept his fate.

People live a lifetime, and they always have to take risks, right?

"Okay."

Xia Ao bowed his head in satisfaction, and leaned forward.

"Listen up......"

……

The next day, Yunde Building.

In the Accord on the third floor, Xia Ao sat by the window facing the street, sipping hot tea while looking at the building gate diagonally opposite.

It was a gate-like building controlled by hundreds of soldiers, with high walls on either side, and arrow towers at intervals within the walls.

Look at the plaque above the doorway of the gate, there are three big characters on it: "Show Girl Garden".

Obviously, behind the high wall was the Xiunu Garden, which was now inhabited by three hundred and sixty Xiunu selected from all over Great Xia.

Those who can pass the first four rounds of selection and stand out from tens of thousands of people must at least meet the basic conditions such as poetry, writing, etiquette, etc.

At a certain moment, when a civil official and a military general walked out of the gate together, Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but show a strange look.

"It seems that this Lai Yongqing really has some ability......

Xia Ao smiled and didn't speak.

On the street, Lai Yongqing immediately greeted the two of them with a smile on his face.

Seeing Lai Yongqing, the faces of the two of them were a little unpleasant, and even faintly showed a little anger, they were a little bit gritted their teeth, and they didn't know how Lai Yongqing provoked them.

"Interesting, looking at it this way, Lai Yongqing probably used some kind of indiscriminate means to force them to comply."

Hearing Shangguan Wan'er's analysis, Xia Ao smiled slightly.

"It doesn't matter if the means are done, as long as he can do things for General Lone, he is a threat to the family of those two guys, and Lone doesn't care."

Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Xia Ao and then at Lai Yongqing, and a touch of sympathy flashed in her eyes.

She knew that Lai Yongqing was just a marionette specially found by His Royal Highness to do dishonorable things.

It's okay if nothing happens, but once something happens, and don't talk about others, First of all, His Highness will definitely not be soft-hearted......

Perhaps, Lai Yongqing is also aware of this, so he will work harder, strive to do his best, and leave no hidden dangers, so as to continue for a long time......

After a short time, there was a knock on the door, and then the door opened, Zhou Ying got out of the way, and when the three figures walked in, the door was closed again.

"Meet the Sixth Highness!"

Lai Yongqing and the other three saluted respectfully, among which Lai Yongqing looked excited, and the other two looked complicated.

Xia Ao didn't care about the expressions of the three of them, just hummed lightly.

Lai Yongqing was very discerning, and seeing that Xia Ao had no intention of saying anything, he hurriedly stabbed the arm of the civil official from the Ministry of Rites.

The civil official gritted his teeth and hesitantly pulled out a booklet from his arms.

Lai Yongqing was a little impatient, and after snatching it, he handed it to Xia Ao with respectful hands.

"Your Highness, this is a roster of three hundred and sixty show girls, with brief information and portraits on it."

Shangguan Wan'er took it and waved her hand, and Lai Yongqing hurriedly bowed his head and retreated.

Subsequently, Shangguan Wan'er opened the album of famous paintings, turning page by page for Xia Ao to see.

Regarding Xia Ao's preference for beauties, Shangguan Wan'er didn't have any ideas, she was also very clear about her identity, and she never said anything.

In this way, as Shangguan Wan'er gently flipped it, there was only the sound of squirming paper in the Accord for a while.

During this period, Xia Ao would bow his head slightly from time to time, and every time at this time, Shangguan Wan'er would draw a circle on the corresponding person's name with great interest.

When the roster was turned over for most of the time, Xia Ao's eyes froze, and Shangguan Wan'er's eyes flashed slightly, and her eyes showed surprise......
