Imperial Palace, Yongle Hall.

The breeze blew up the silk tent embroidered with elegant patterns, like a sea of falling clouds, and the silk tent flew in the wind, alarming the maid who was asleep on the edge of the agarwood couch.

A maid woke up first, stretched out her hand and rubbed her hazy eyes, remembering the eldest princess who was still taking a nap on the couch, and couldn't help but open her eyes and look at the couch.

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is rare not to make trouble today, it's a good day like this......

When the maid's eyes fell on the couch, her heart chuckled, and the person immediately sobered up.

When I opened the silk tent, I saw that the agarwood couch was empty, and the complex and gorgeous Yunluo silk jacket on the couch was deliberately placed in a human shape, where is the shadow of His Royal Highness!

"Wake up, wake up, wake up......" The maid quickly turned around and woke up another maid who was leaning against the corner of the wooden couch, so anxious that she was about to cry.

The maid leaning on the corner of the soft couch bed gradually woke up and said in a daze: "What's the matter? Your Highness is still sleeping, don't wake up Your Highness......"

"What sleep, Your Highness...... Your Highness, Your Highness is gone!" the maid cried out in a hurry, wiping her tears as she spoke.

"If it's gone, it's gone...... What!" When she came back to her senses, the maid immediately stood up suddenly, and looked at the maid who couldn't help crying with wide eyes.

"Sister Hongling, what should I do......" the maid said with a bewildered expression.

"Don't cry, hurry, go and tell Your Majesty!" The maid named Hongling has been by Ziruo's side for many years, and after so many emergencies when Ziruo left the palace, she has already gained some experience, and Hongling immediately turned around and walked outside the hall.

Another maid hurriedly followed, thinking that she had just arrived at the Yongle Hall to take up her duties, and her tears instantly fell down desperately like pearls with broken threads.

"Your Highness, you must not have any trouble, otherwise...... Woowoo woo ......"

At the corner of the corridor came a maid dressed in palace clothes, her eyes lowered, and when she reached the palace gate, the maid stopped and cautiously turned her head to look around.

Seeing that no one was catching up, the maid couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, looked up at several soldiers in armor guarding the palace gate, tightened her hand holding the golden token, lowered her head and continued to walk forward.

When the palace gate was near, the two soldiers raised their weapons and blocked the way of the maid.

"Who?"

The maid said calmly: "Brothers, I am the personal maid of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, Hongling, Your Highness ordered me to go to the General's Mansion to explain to Miss Yan about the Moon Festival in two days, this is the token of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and please let the eldest brothers go as soon as possible." ”

"Your Royal Highness the Eldest Princess?" a soldier looked at the soldier beside him with a slight hesitation.

The other soldier was also a little confused, and after a while, he suddenly remembered, and immediately spoke: "It seems that there is indeed such a thing, I heard that on the day of the end of the martial arts competition, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess did mention to Her Majesty that she wanted to go out of the palace with Miss Yan on the Moon Worship Festival, Your Majesty originally did not agree, but the eldest princess ...... I heard that the eldest princess lay down directly on the ground at that time, and said that as long as His Majesty did not agree for a day, he would stay in the Zhengde Hall for a day......"

Hearing this, the reaction of several soldiers was indescribable.

I had heard that the eldest princess was different from ordinary women, but I didn't think about it......

It seemed that they felt that the maid was slightly angry, and only a few people realized that the master in front of them was the person in front of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, so a soldier immediately asked with acquaintance: "Then did Your Majesty answer or not?"

“...... Your Majesty...... Yes, indeed. The soldier said slowly, can you not agree?

At this time, the maid, who had been waiting silently, coughed lightly twice, instantly attracting the attention of the soldiers.

Seeing that they had been waiting for a long time, the soldiers were embarrassed to delay any longer, for fear that they would really offend Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, so they hurriedly put down the weapon they were holding in their hands and said to the maid, "You can go." ”

The maid nodded and slowly walked out of the palace gate.

Ni Dress House.

A woman was dressed in a smoky purple skirt, with a red jade hairpin on her hair and a purple soft whip pinned to her waist.

Seeing the lively scene on the street, the woman's cherry red lips couldn't help but raise happily, and the woman strode out of the store.

"It's finally out!"

Ziruo grabbed the tossed token and was about to walk to the street, but saw a crowd of people somewhere and was surrounded by water.

Zi Ruo looked over curiously, but there were too many people in that place, and it was densely encircled, Zi Ruo stretched her neck and still couldn't see it, so she couldn't help but reach out and drag one person next to her and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Girl...... You ......" The man who happened to walk out of the Ni Clothes House was walking, but was grabbed by Zi Ruo with one hand, his face turned red in an instant, and he reached out to pull his sleeve out of Zi Ruo's hand.

Ziruo felt that this voice was somewhat familiar, so she looked back, and after seeing who that person was, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, and suddenly blurted out: "It's you!"

At this time, the man also saw clearly that it was Ziruo who was holding him, and only felt that he seemed to have seen Ziruo somewhere, pointing at Ziruo and thinking for a long time, his eyes fell on the purple whip pinned to Ziruo's waist, and he immediately remembered it.

"It's you!"

The two stared at each other for a long time, and then turned their faces away.

It's really a narrow road!

Ziruo thought of the day of the finals of the martial arts competition, and felt that it was necessary to make a clear break with this nerd, so she took the lead in turning around, deliberately stood in front of the man, and said, "Idiot, this girl was in a hurry last time, didn't you have time to ask, what is your name?"

"I ...... This girl is not called a nerd below, she has a name below, and her name is Chu Yunjue below. Chu Yunjue corrected Zi Ruodao with a serious face.

Unexpectedly, Zi Ruo had already been impatient with his three words of "under the bottom", and seeing that he had finally finished speaking, he couldn't help but look at Chu Yunjue with a mockery and said, "What a fool, under what, aren't you tired of talking?"

"Girl, this is politeness and respect for the girl. In ancient times, if a person is rude, he will not be born, if he is rude, he will not succeed, and if the country is rude, he will ......"

As Chu Yunjue was talking, there was another commotion in the crowded place, which suddenly diverted Ziruo's attention.

Zi Ruo tiptoed, still couldn't see what was going on there, Zi Ruo's curiosity couldn't help but become stronger, and seeing more and more people surrounding her, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and immediately left Chu Yunjue and turned around and walked over there.

Ziruo squeezed into the crowd with great difficulty, and when she stood firm, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked ahead, only to realize that everyone was watching a shop, and couldn't help but ask a middle-aged man next to her in confusion: "This big brother, what's going on?"

The middle-aged man was dressed in a coarse cloth shirt, burly and fierce, but extremely talkative, and when he heard Ziruo ask himself, he immediately pointed to the plaque of the shop and said, "Do you know Jipinxuan?"

"Is Jiupin Xuan selling wine?" Zi Ruo rarely goes out of the palace, and even if she goes out of the palace, she has never paid attention to these shops, she has always only looked at the name when she enters the shop, this Jiupin Xuan's name is too elegant, she is a person who only loves martial arts and has no interest in literature.

"Girl, this Jiupin Xuan is a famous gambling house in the capital, and it is also the only gambling house in the capital that is recognized by the government, and the shopkeeper of Jiupin Xuan, Yan Lianzhan, is the cousin and nephew of Lord Xiangguo......

It turned out to be a gambling house, Ziruo's eyes couldn't help but light up, but she still didn't understand what was going on: "What happened to this gambling house? Why are so many people gathered here?"

The middle-aged man said: "That's a long story, the girl should know about the recent martial arts competition held by the imperial court, before the finals, the prestige of Wei Xiaogongzi and Miss Yan of the General's Mansion spread all over the capital, and everyone had different opinions on who could become the leader of the competition, and Jiupinxuan took advantage of the competition between Wei Xiaogongzi and Miss Yan of the General's Mansion to deliberately set up a gamble. ”

Originally, Miss Yan's bet was far less than that of Wei Xiaogongzi, but during this time, someone bet with a thousand gold to pressure Miss Yan to win, so that the bets of the two were comparable. ”

"Now Miss Yan has become the leader of the big competition, the person who presses Miss Yan to win can be said to be very profitable, today is the opening day, all the participants in the betting will come to Jiupin Xuan, everyone is a little curious about this strong man who spends a lot of money for the red face, so they stay outside this Jiupin Xuan and hope to see the dignity ......"

Zi Ruo's widening eyes showed a bit of consternation when she heard this: "A thousand gold?"

"Yes, it is a thousand gold, even if it is a royal family and nobles, it is rare to have such a big deal. The middle-aged man was full of emotion for a while.

"Who said ......" Ziruo wanted to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there seemed to be some truth, his father had always advocated thrift in governing the country and set an example for his subjects when he was in power, and now His Majesty is still advocating thrift in governing the country in accordance with his father's teachings, not to mention a thousand gold, even a hundred gold may not necessarily agree.

Ziruo opened her mouth, but she didn't say a word.

Everyone was waiting, and suddenly a person walked out of Jiupin Xuan, who was wearing a green cloth shirt and dressed as a small servant, and the man waved his hand and said, "Scattered, scattered......"

Someone asked, "I've been waiting here for a long time, how can that person still come?"

Who knew that the little guy said: "That master has been here, just left." ”

Xiao Xiao's words suddenly set off a wave in the crowd, and everyone looked at each other with incredible expressions on their faces.

"What? I waited for so many people because I was blind, and if that person really came, how would I not know!"

"You're really clumsy with this trick, isn't it......?"

Seeing that he was questioned by so many people, the little guy couldn't argue for a while, he wanted to cry without tears, held back for a long time, and finally said "Do you believe it or not" and turned back.

There were people in the crowd who speculated about everything, some said that Jiupin Xuan was deceiving, some said that the master must be strong in martial arts, and even worse, they guessed that the master was extremely ugly and did not dare to show his face.

After listening to everyone's words, Zi Ruo was also very curious about the one who was willing to spend a lot of money on ice and snow, but thinking of the purpose of his departure from the palace this time, he couldn't help but stomp his feet, bit his cherry red lip, and turned to leave.
