The car drove down the long and bustling street. Xiao Yuehuai stared at the various people in the carved window, frowning.

Ah Lu accompanied him outside the car, caught a glimpse of the princess's expression, and comforted: "Your Highness doesn't have to worry about Qin Niangzi, her talent has always been the first among the nobles in the capital, and she will definitely win the first place in today's literary exam." ”

Xiao Yuehuai was thinking about how to mention the matter of the Su family to Lin Bujing, and when she heard Ah Lu's patient persuasion, she couldn't help laughing: "How can you think I'm worried?" With her pen power, participating in the literary examination of the Inner Court Mansion is overkill. I'm not worried at all. ”

Ah Lu blinked his eyes and wondered, "Then why is the princess so preoccupied?" Is it because of Lord Qi? ”

A cold sneer came from the car window: "For him? I'm not that idle. ”

Xiao Yuehuai put down the curtain, and then said, "Ah Lu, you get in the car." I have three things for you to do. ”

The car stopped, and Ah Lu obediently got into the car.

Xiao Yuehuai pointed to a few pawnshops on the street, and said seriously: "You take my name card to the palace in the evening and bring out the three jewelry boxes on my dressing table." I'm going to sell it. ”

There was a lot of shouting on the street, and in the noisy environment, Ah Lu felt that he didn't hear it very clearly, and asked stumblingly: "Princess, princess, why do you suddenly want to sell jewelry?" Those three boxes will always be something you'll cherish. ”

Xiao Yuehuai shook his head: "It's just some jewelry, it's useless." It's better to change the money. ”

Ah Lu was dumbfounded, he couldn't believe that these words came from the mouth of the princess, in the past, if anyone tried to touch the contents of those three boxes, the princess would be furious, but now she wants to sell them?

Did this turn turn too suddenly?

Xiao Yuehuai saw her concerns, patted the back of her hand gently, and said, "I'm not kidding. The disaster relief silver was stolen, and in order to relieve her cousin's predicament, the princess's mansion lost a lot of money and silver, and there is not much left at the moment. Although there is a good fortune, it cannot save the emergency. ”

"The second thing I want to explain to you is to take the money from the sale and go to Qianchun Building to find Yan Siniang."

"Tell her that if you can find a way for me to make a meeting with all the rice merchants in the capital, in addition to my grandfather's house, the princess's mansion and the Xuanwang mansion will also be her backers in the future."

Ah Lu couldn't understand it anymore, and asked in a daze, "Why does the princess want to see the rice merchant in the city?" ”

Xiao Yuehuai rubbed her head with a smile and said dotingly: "Don't worry, after you do this, I will tell you the reason." ”

She took a deep breath and ordered the coachman to turn around and go to the city gate.

"This third thing - come with me to pick up someone from outside the city and take them home."

The car drove into a secluded path, bypassing the bustling downtown area, all the way to Chengping Gate. After two incense sticks, it stopped on the official road along the moat.

With Ah Lu's support, Xiao Yuehuai got out of the car.

In the distance, the winding loess road is covered with a thick layer of gravel, and the dust rolled up by pedestrians gradually filled the air.

The dust and sand were a little choking, Ah Lu covered his mouth and nose, frowned and asked, "Princess, who are we here to pick up?" ”

Xiao Yuehuai stared at the mountains at the end, smiling without saying a word.

After a while, the crisp sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the valley, and the ground shook with it.

A black-maned horse appeared in view, galloping on the official road.

Lang Jun on horseback wore a blue coat inside, a tiger head armor outside, and a curved head inlaid with gold and jade, covering most of his face with a scarf veil, leaving only a pair of bright eyes exposed.

Looking at his outfit, Xiao Yuehuai was a little surprised, his father actually valued him so much, and made him a thousand households of Xuanlinwei so quickly?

In the distance, Lin Bujing also saw the princess standing at the entrance of the official road, so he grabbed the reins and stopped urgently.

The fierce horse raised its front hooves, neighed and fell, and stopped steadily next to the carriage in the princess's mansion. Lang Jun got off the horse, strode towards Xiao Yuehuai, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists with both hands and said, "Subordinate Nanzhu see the princess." ”

Xiao Yuehuai looked at him with her head down, and sighed in her heart. She helped him up and whispered, "You don't have to salute when you see me in the future." ”

Lin Bujing got up, with an unknown emotion in his eyes: "Why did the princess come here in person?" ”

The place where the two of them stood was the place where the crowd came and went the most, and it was inevitable that people would look sideways.

Xiao Yuehuai looked around, frowned, and said softly, "Get in my car first." ”

Ah Lu followed closely behind them, put down the stool, helped the princess into the car, and then consciously retreated and waited outside the car.

After Lang Jun sat down, Xiao Yuehuai got straight to the point and said: "I helped Lin Lang leave the Jing Court, I don't know what I wanted that day, how did you think about it?" ”

Lin Bujing pondered for a moment and said: "If it weren't for the princess, the subordinates would still be slaves of sin, and they wouldn't be able to have this free body." On kindness... The subordinates have nothing to repay. The subordinates are willing to do what they can for the princess, and they are willing to protect the princess with their lives, but everyone in the listening building has entered the rivers and lakes, and I am afraid that they will not listen to the deployment of their subordinates. The court is in turmoil, and the subordinates can't help..."

He shirked his rhetoric and refused to form an alliance. Xiao Yuehuai also expected it, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said calmly: "I guess you have this attitude." Don't worry, the coming day is long, and this princess can afford to wait. ”

"You are now the guard of the princess's mansion, and you just said that you are willing to do things for me, why don't you go to investigate an old case for me first?"

Seeing that Lin Bujing was silent, Xiao Yuehuai added: "Don't worry, you don't want to listen to the sound building for my use, I won't force it." Moreover, they did not need to intervene in this case. Among the shadow servants of Xuanlinwei, you are promoted quickly, presumably you must have made a great contribution to the days when you went to Zitong Mountain, since you have been promoted to a thousand households, there must be some manpower under your hands, and it is enough to use them. ”

Lin Bujing agreed: "But according to the princess's orders." ”

The car slowly moved towards the city. Xiao Yuehuai lowered her voice and said, "My uncle, Su Shaoyuan, the former waiter of the Ministry of Rites, do you know? ”

Hearing this, Lin Bujing couldn't help but be surprised: "The princess wants to investigate the case of Su Shaoyuan's murder?" ”

The girl bowed: "Yes, I want to know the details of this case." Although this is an old case, but back then, my father sent Xuanlinwei's shadow attendant to follow the Lang official of the Criminal Department to the border to investigate, so there must be a file in the Tibetan Pavilion to record that there is a Xuanlinwei important place, and only a thousand households can enter, so it is just right for you to go. ”

Lin Bujing asked: "The princess investigates this case... Is it for General Su? ”

The bells at the four corners of the car were shaken by the stone road. Xiao Yuehuai bent his eyes and nodded: "Yes, it's for him, but also for myself." ”

Lang Jun thought about it carefully, and then responded to the matter: "The subordinates will definitely live up to the princess's trust." ”

Seeing that he promised so quickly, Xiao Yuehuai was slightly surprised. Lin Bujing seems to care about Su Ying? Did they know each other before?
