The porch was covered with a layer of snow. The prince took Ning Shuo to pace under the corridor, although there was wind and snow, but he couldn't hide the heat in his heart.

He really didn't think that he could ask Buyuchuan to re-investigate the case so quickly. He's been excited ever since he found out, and he's been bold today.

He invited Ning Shuo to speak alone in full view of everyone. The idea was discussed with him by the crown princess.

Both of them felt that Ning Shuo could be wooed. Even if he can't be wooed, then inviting him to speak alone at the night banquet in the East Palace can be regarded as a clear indication of the attitude of the East Palace, if he wants to take refuge in King Jin, he has to think about the East Palace.

The prince started talking, and first said that this year's weather is good, Ruixue is a good year, and next year should be smooth and rainy.

Ning Shuo answered softly. He has always been strict in following the rules, falling behind the crown prince and not daring to follow him.

has been with the prince for more than ten years, and he knows too well some of the small details he cares about.

For example, if he were to be in parallel with the prince, the prince would wonder if he was despising him.

Timid and sensitive.

The crown prince once complained: "Although there is no clear rule to walk behind me, is there no clear rule for them to walk behind their father?" ”

He always felt that he was not majestic enough as a prince, and over time, everyone stopped taking him seriously.

That's why he attaches great importance to those.

Sure enough, when the prince saw his rules, he was very happy, and for the first time he looked at him seriously, and said, "Ah Shuo, you will definitely be an important minister of the country in the future." ”

Ning Shuo always felt that this sentence was familiar. He smiled and said, "Being able to share the worries of the king and the people is already God's love." ”

The prince also laughed, and did not continue, but only found a few words to praise him, Ning Shuo played Tai Chi, but he didn't accept it. The prince knew that this person didn't get in oil and salt, and he couldn't slip in autumn, so who said that Ning Shuo was a stuffy gourd and an honest man?

If people change, it's too big.

He didn't expect him to be able to directly persuade Ning Shuo to do things for himself today, he found him in public, first, he didn't want him to be co-opted by King Jin, and secondly, he wanted to tell him how much he valued him and attached importance to the Suijia case.

The two of them stood under the porch, and the snow was getting heavier and heavier outside.

The prince pointed to a wall opposite and said, "Lan Shi was once bored, and he buried a few jars of wine under the tree by the wall, and two days ago, Gu dug up a jar of them. ”

He looked at Ning Shuo, "Gu wants to give you this jar of wine, Gu knows that it was you who found out the flaw in the Muzhou Suijia case, Ah Shuo, you are very good." ”

Ning Shuo bowed, "It is the duty of the minister, not anything else." ”

The prince didn't say much when he heard this, only patted him on the shoulder and said, "No matter what, I thank you for the Sui family." ”

Ning Shuo still only had one sentence: "This is the duty of the minister, and the matter has not been clarified yet." ”

The prince smiled and stopped talking, but said, "Let's go back, it's not good to be away for a long time." ”

So he returned to the banquet again, and this time there were more people secretly watching Ning Shuo.

King Jin patted him on the shoulder before leaving—in this respect, the two brothers were similar.

The prince noticed this, looked at King Jin contemptuously, and then paused, as if remembering something, and looked at the female relatives opposite.

In fact, you don't need to look too much, just one glance, the prince can find the place where the feast bell sits.

She studied under Lan Shi, and in his gaze, she sat very similarly to Lan Shi.

Like an orchid.

He summoned the little eunuch and said something to him, and the little eunuch left.

On the other side, the feast bell was talking to the fifth girl about Mo Yunyan, and was saying, "What she meant, she actually has the posture of not marrying, then my brother's matter is probably hopeless", and then he felt that his body was wet, and his skirt was burned by a cup of warm tea.

It was the first time that the feast bell had encountered such a situation, and with an exclamation, the little palace maid who poured the tea knelt on the ground in panic and begged for mercy.

It's a good day, not to mention that the feast bell is not angry, even if it is, it is not easy to send out. So he quickly helped the person up and said, "It's okay, it's not much wet." ”

The fifth girl was afraid that she would catch a cold, and said: "On such a snowy day, wind and cold are a common thing, but you can't be sloppy, we brought clothes in the carriage, I asked people to pick them up, and borrowed the room used by the guests of the East Palace, and it is only serious for you to change your clothes." ”

The little palace maid nodded in fright, "The slave maid will take the girl there, and Miss Wanwang will forgive me." ”

Feast Bell felt a little troublesome. But the fifth sister insisted on changing her, so she agreed.

The fifth girl was worried that she was alone, and wanted to follow, but unfortunately, she was about to leave when she saw someone come to invite her.

It was the girl from the Liang Guogong Mansion who invited her to come over and speak. is also a girl from the Guogong Mansion, so it is difficult for her to refuse.

Seeing this, Feast Ling said, "Fifth sister, I can do it myself, don't worry." ”

It wasn't meant to be a big deal. The fifth girl told her many things like a worried old mother, such as remembering the road when she went later, such as letting Guan Gui follow her later, and not being alone.

The feast bell nodded and nodded again, and then took Guan Gui to follow the little palace maid to change clothes.

For example, at this kind of banquet, a place will be prepared for the ladies to change their clothes. Naturally, there is also the East Palace, and it is not far from the inner hall where the banquet is located.

The feast bell and Guan Gui both remembered the way, and they arrived in a while. The two of them went into the house to change their clothes, and were about to leave, when they saw a group of people outside approaching with a woman dressed in simple clothes and a big belly.

Feast Bell glanced at her, and found that she was not necessarily older than herself, she should be fifteen or sixteen years old, and her face was so good that she should not forget it just by looking at her.

She's so good-looking.

Feast Ling took a step back slightly, and saw that the people following her were either eunuchs or palace maids, and she could probably guess that she was Zhaomeiren.

Only this one in the East Palace was pregnant.

There are many rumors about this person, but without exception, they all say that she is domineering, arrogant, willful, and hypocritical...... But all the bad virtues of a woman are placed on her.

But when she saw it today, she found that Zhao Meiren was plain, with a gentle face and a gentle expression, which was inconsistent with the rumors.

The feast bell took Guan Gui and bowed.

Zhao Meiren was also quite surprised to meet someone. She glanced at the feast bell and thought that this girl had been born well.

Although the face is a little charming, there is no flattery between the eyebrows and eyes, but with a clear feeling, which is rare.

She smiled at the feast bell and said, "I passed by the garden and got dirty clothes, and I came close to this place, so I came to change my clothes." ”

After the feast bell was bowed, the two said two words together, and then hurriedly parted.

I didn't notice anything unusual.

The only one who noticed something unusual was the crown princess.

When Mama whispered in her ear that the prince instructed the little maid to pour tea on the skirt of the feast bell, the doubts in her heart became bigger and bigger.

Shouke ...... It seems to be hiding something from her.
