The third prince said very calmly: "Prince, do you know my scholar?"

The prince looked at Bian Xin and said in surprise: "This is your scholar? Isn't he a dumb man? I talked to him yesterday, but he didn't answer me, obviously he is a dumb man! Uncle Sanhuang, how can you find a dumb scholar to be a scholar? How inconvenient is this, let me find a decent scholar for you?"

The third prince smiled: "Thank you for the prince's kindness, it's just that my scholar is not dumb, she has just been injured in the past few days and can't speak for the time being, so please forgive the prince." ”

The prince was eccentric and very curious: "It's strange, what kind of injury can make a person dumb?"

The third prince hesitated for a moment, but still sued him: "Two days ago, I entered the palace to meet the saint, and when this scholar was waiting for me outside the Xusheng Palace, he not only blocked the way of the second royal brother, but also contradicted the second royal brother, so I punished her with a hundred palms, so she couldn't eat and speak for a few days, and couldn't respond to the prince, so I asked the prince to forgive me." ”

"That's right," the prince seemed to be sympathetic, "although this scholar has done something wrong, the punishment of the third emperor uncle is also severe...... Match"

When Bian Xin heard him say this, he subconsciously defended the third prince: "No, no, no, it was the second prince who wanted to scold three hundred, but the third prince saved me in time, and he only slapped one hundred, which was very light......"

"Xin'er!" the third prince sank his face and shouted in a low voice, "In front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what nonsense are you talking about!

What's the matter? She is repaying the third prince's life-saving grace, and she doesn't want people to misunderstand the third prince, why is she being scolded by the third prince instead? Bian Xin looked puzzled, and wanted to explain something, but as far as her eyes touched, several people were staring at her tightly, and that kind of gaze ......

She felt a pang in her heart and woke up to the fact that the crown prince, the second prince, and the third prince were competitors, and the identities of the other two people were also very delicate......

So, she hurriedly lowered her head and said, "It's all small people who don't know how to be polite, they have made heinous mistakes, and it is natural to be punished." ”

Dongfang Lingluo and Miss Nan didn't speak, but the crown prince frowned and muttered: "The cane is three hundred, and the second emperor's uncle is too heavy." It's just in the way, and it's not a big deal, besides, this scholar is the third emperor's uncle's person after all, and the second emperor's uncle should also give you a little face. ”

The third prince shook his head: "The slave doesn't know the rules, I didn't teach it well, how can I blame others for punishing too much?"

The crown prince patted him on the shoulder and said, "Uncle Sanhuang, you, you are just too good at talking, so your subordinates will be bullied like this." ”

The third prince smiled slightly: "This can't be called bullying, right? The slave is not sensible, so he should be taught a lesson, and he can be taught to understand the rules, so as to avoid making the same mistake." You say yes, His Royal Highness the Prince?"

The crown prince shrugged his shoulders and turned his head to look at Bian Xin: "Hey, I said boy, do you blame the second prince?"

This dead prince actually asked such a question in public! Bian Xin pretended to be frightened, and kept waving his hand and shaking his head, indicating that he was not surprised.

The crown prince laughed: "Everyone is afraid of the second emperor's uncle." ”

The third prince said: "The second emperor brother is highly respected, and anyone will respect him for three points." ”

The prince didn't care, and seemed to want to say something, so the third prince poured him wine and said, "Prince, it's rare for the four of us to eat at the same table, come, I'll toast you!"

With that, he glanced at Bian Xin out of the corner of his eye and motioned for her to hurry out.

Bian Xin received the warning, quickly and quietly took a few steps back, then quietly turned around and walked out quickly.

Xiu Ya followed her out and whispered in her ear: "Enough, I'll be busy next, don't get close to here, lest there be any trouble." ”

Bian Xin begged: "I know, I'll hide, don't call me if there's something - don't call me!" Then he ran into the house, closed the door, locked the window, and wanted to hide himself.

Why did all these big people notice her, one by one, two, or three? And everyone wanted to bully her a few times? Could it be that she was too beautiful and couldn't hide her natural beauty, so she became a red face and a disaster in this era?

Alas, she lay on the edge of the table and thought nonsense, and her mood was too depressed to do anything.

Tuk tuk, there was a low knock on the door outside, who would come at such a time? Could it be Xiuya again? But Xiuya is not so mysterious.

She didn't want to pay attention to it, but the people here couldn't afford to offend one by one, if she didn't open the door, wouldn't she be disrespectful again?

So, she still cheered up, opened the door, and squeezed out a smile: "May I ask which ......?"

Her voice was stuck in her throat, and her whole person froze: Dongfang Lingluo, what is he doing here?

Dongfang Lingluo flashed in, her face changed: "What are you going to do, get out quickly......"

Dongfang Lingluo closed the door and said in a low voice: "Don't make a sound, I'm just here to ask you a few words." ”

Although he was very unhappy, Bian Xin didn't want others to know that he was here, so he lowered his voice and said politely and indifferently: "Master Hou, please say something quickly, the prince and the prince are waiting for you." ”

In the darkness, Dongfang Lingluo stared at her: "Is the third prince okay to you?"

Bian Xin suddenly wanted to cry, but she would never shed a single tear in front of him! Fortunately, it was very dark in the room, and she couldn't see anything clearly.

She suppressed the fluctuations in her heart and said calmly: "Thank you Hou Ye for your concern, I am still alive and well, it can be seen that the third prince treats me well, and I will not bring any trouble to Hou Ye, please be relieved." ”

Dongfang Lingluo stretched out his hand and touched her cheek: "Really, how long have you been with the Third Prince, and you were almost made dumb and broken, and you almost lost your life, and you said it well?"

Bian Xin said lightly: "It was not anyone who almost killed me, but my own ignorance." So, I don't blame anyone, I blame only myself. ”

Dongfang Lingluo snorted coldly: "You are so grateful to the Third Prince, if the Third Prince treats you well, how can he let you dress up like this, let you stay by his side as a minion, and guide you to be tortured by the Second Prince?"

Bian Xin smiled lightly: "I'm a slave in the first place! If a slave doesn't treat himself as a slave, he won't be needed by his master, right?

Did he say these words to express that he still had some affection for her? Did he think he was more humane than the second and third princes?

Dongfang Lingluo sank his face: "I let you follow the third prince, so that you can enjoy happiness with the third prince, not for you to be a slave to the third prince!"

Bian Xin said coldly: "Master Hou, I am now a member of the Third Prince. If people find out that you are alone with me, my temperance that has fallen into the stinking ditch is not worth mentioning, but your name, do you still want it?"

"You-" Dongfang Lingluo was a little annoyed by her lack of appreciation, but thinking about the current situation, he still endured his anger for the time being, and said, "Don't mention these things for the time being." Let's get down to business. What characters did you and the three princes come into contact with for a while, and what did they do?"

Sure enough, this is his purpose! Bian Xin said as if he was studying: "The third prince is very busy during this time, and rarely stays in the mansion, I heard that he went to find the legendary famous calligraphy as a gift from the emperor. In addition, when he returned to Beijing from your house, he went to Taifu's house for a night, and chatted with Taifu very happily. ”

"Oh?" Dongfang Lingluo noticed, "What did he talk to Taifu about?"

Bian Xin said: "He and Taifu, as well as more than a dozen students of Taifu, were locked in the house to eat and drink, and I couldn't enter the house from evening until midnight, I don't know what they talked about." Anyway, with my identity, it's impossible for me to hear it. ”

Dongfang Lingluo said: "That's right." Let me ask you again, are you sure that the third prince and the master had a very happy conversation? There is nothing unpleasant about the two of them?"

Bian Xin said: "I don't know if they really get along." Anyway, I only saw them talking and laughing, and the Taifu also sent a beauty to the third prince to sleep with at night, and the third prince enjoyed it very much. ”

Dongfang Lingluo sneered: "Are you jealous?"

Bian Xin rolled his eyes: "It's just a one-night stand, what do I have to be jealous of?"

Dongfang Lingluo said again: "Can you listen to the third prince talk about the second prince and the crown prince?"

Bian Xin said: "The third prince just asked me to avoid the second prince and not offend the second prince, and I didn't say anything else." ”

Silent. Unbearable silence. It was clear that the night was very cool, but she felt very stuffy, so stuffy that she couldn't breathe smoothly.

After a short while, Dongfang Lingluo stretched out his hand and stroked the hair on her cheek: "You did a good job, listen to the words of the third prince, you will get glory and wealth." I'm leaving, I'll come back to you next time. ”

With that, he walked to the side of the door, opened a slit, looked out, and opened the door lightly.

He borrowed the famous words of Xie Hand and quietly came out to see her, he couldn't stay too long, it would be bad for them to be suspicious, and he had to go back quickly.

Bian Xin patted the place he had touched, as if he wanted to sweep away the dust: he didn't want to say that she missed him very much! she almost couldn't remember who he was! he had better not come to her for the rest of his life!

Dongfang Lingluo returned to the table and continued to drink and talk with the Third Prince, but what he thought to himself was, is Taifu inclined to the Third Prince, rather than the crown prince whom he has taught for many years? If this is the case, it will be too interesting, he will have to visit Taifu another day.

Taifu is the same as him, although he has no official position and real power, he secretly has huge connections and influence, and he is not an outdated and conservative person.

And what about the prince? He secretly aimed at the prince while drinking, and the prince knew that his teacher was secretly in contact with the third prince, and they had a good conversation?

However, this is a dangerous and complicated game, although it has been played for a long time, the chess surface is still not clear, and it is even more distant from the endgame, so he has to play slowly.
