Qingping Palace

A slender woman stepped into the study with smart steps, and through the bright yellow translucent gauze tent, she bowed slightly to Zhu Luofeng, who was sitting in front of the bookcase, "I've seen the prince." ”

Zhu Luofeng put down the scroll in his hand, got up and opened the gauze tent, and looked at the woman carefully, this woman is double ten years old, with her hair in a bun, jade and gold hairpins, white and tender cheeks with a little powder, eyebrows and eyes, indescribably soft and delicate, and an emerald green skirt, which is even more smart and light.

Zhu Luofeng nodded with satisfaction, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "Yes, dressed up like this, I have a little bit of coquettishness of our Central Plains women." ”

It turns out that this woman is the exotic singer brought back by Zhu Luofeng, the king of Qingping, from the light smoke building in the city, the former princess of Hengjiang Chi Kingdom, Mo Yishan, now known as Aina, Aina has been living in the Qingping palace since she was brought out of the light smoke building by Zhu Luofeng, and there is a special aunt to train, because she is a princess, so it is very easy to train. On weekdays, the door does not go out of the door, and only comes out when Zhu Luofeng needs it most.

Aina's cherry-colored mouth rose slightly, and her body kept in a saluting posture, "It's all up to the prince to train." "The sound is delicate and beautiful, like a spring flowing through a rock.

"Look up. ”

Aina slowly raised her head, the cat-eye earrings hanging from her earlobes swaying slightly as she raised her head. Zhu Luofeng smiled with satisfaction again, "It would be better if there was a little less stubbornness in your eyes." ”

Aina lightly pursed her lips, "What does the prince need me to do?"

Zhu Luofeng looked at Aina deeply, and an imperceptible smile appeared on his face, "I want you to participate in the beauty pageant in three days, and find a way to make Zhou Yixuan take a fancy to you." ”

Aina raised her eyes and looked at Zhu Luofeng inexplicably......

The hour flies very quickly, the sun rises and sets, the sky gradually turns inky, the lanterns are hung in front of the store, the curfew in Wei'an City is late, so there are still a few shops on the street that do not close the stalls, taking advantage of the dark to sell lanterns, candlesticks, incense burners and other objects, although there are fewer pedestrians on the street than in the daytime, it still does not reduce the interest of the merchants.

Li Zifeng was dressed in regular clothes, covered with black plush edging cotton coat, and walked out of the Hengxiang Inn generously, and did not forget to greet Xiao Er before leaving, Xiao Er also happily told him to come back early, and the store should come to the door at the end of the day.

There are far fewer pedestrians on the streets, and small vendors who want to make more money have formed their own night markets, shouting and selling in low voices, and enthusiastically promoting their interesting items to passers-by.

Li Zifeng shuttled through the street between the stalls on both sides, and sure enough, he didn't go far, and once again noticed the footsteps following him, although the footsteps were cleverly hidden in the night market, but he still couldn't escape Li Zifeng's ears, but what he couldn't tell was whether the person who was following was from the Prime Minister's Mansion, or Lingye Palace, or Li Shijie!

Li Zifeng sighed, stopped in front of a stall selling lanterns, and selected all kinds of lanterns with great interest.

"For night walking, you can choose one for me! The light should not be too bright, it should be soft, and you can distinguish the way." ”

"Okay, then choose this parchment ......."

While speaking, the stall owner chose the lantern, and after obtaining Li Zifeng's consent, he lit the candle inside and covered it with a lampshade, Li Zifeng accepted it with satisfaction, paid the money and left.

Li Zifeng carried the lantern all the way forward, the footsteps behind him appeared again, Li Zifeng took three steps and two steps into a dead end, and the people behind him saw this and did not dare to step forward again, but after a while, Li Zifeng came out, still carrying the lantern in his hand, but his head was pressed very low, and the person behind him followed again.

There was silence all around, and there was no abnormality in it, a black shadow crossed the pitch-black sky, and hurried towards the Zhou Mansion, and after a while, the figure skillfully avoided the light and dark guards who were patrolling, and quietly landed on the roof of the study, leaning down slightly, hiding the sound of breathing, and uncovering a piece of tiles......

At this time, Zhou Yixuan, the head of the Zhou family, was entertaining distinguished guests in the study, and the distinguished guests were Li Shijie and Su Kexin, and the black-clothed masked man on the roof looked deeper and deeper.

After Li Zifeng walked around the street a few times, he returned to the Hengxiang Inn and extinguished the lantern before entering the door. The sound of tracking behind him also disappeared, because he clearly felt that the person behind him had no malicious intent, and ignored him, and went directly to the second floor back to the room.

The person who was following behind him appeared, a total of two people, all of whom were secret guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion, disguised as ordinary people and secretly followed Li Zifeng, the two of them saw that Li Zifeng returned to his residence safely, and they were immediately relieved, but the next moment, they seemed to feel that something was wrong, Li Zifeng went out to buy a lantern and came back, nothing else was done, it seemed a little unreasonable, and he was about to go in to check the situation, but he was stopped by the shopkeeper, "The two guest officers live in the hotel?"

The two of them were not good at words, and opened their mouths and said, "Let's find a friend......"

Behind the mahogany column at the corner of the stairs on the second floor, a person dressed in a cotton coat was watching silently, this person was not Li Zifeng, but the shadow guard Shen Yu beside Li Zifeng, it turned out that Li Zifeng was in the depths of the alley, and quickly took off the cotton coat to put on the long-awaited Shen Yu, Shen Yu carried a lantern, pretending to be Li Zifeng and wandering around the street for a few laps, returned to the Hengxiang Inn, and Li Zifeng hid his body in the night and quietly went to the Zhou Mansion.

At this time, the man in black who was secretly observing on the roof of Zhou Yixuan's study was Li Zifeng, and the conversation in the study continued......

Li Shijie and Su Kexin sat on the delicate mahogany chairs, and in the blue and white porcelain tea cup on the small table next to them, soaking in the West Lake Longjing, which was newly paid tribute this year, exuded bursts of fragrance with the heat.

Zhou Yixuan sat on the main seat, his attitude was not as arrogant as the last time he met Li Shijie, although there was still a calculating light in his eyes, but he was only calculating how much benefit he could get from cooperating with Hongyuan Villa.

Li Shijie touched the blue and white porcelain teacup, "Master Zhou, half of our income in Xiangyun Inn in Beiyu Town has gone to your Hongtai Qianzhuang, do you still doubt our sincerity?"

Zhou Yixuan's hand holding the teacup stiffened slightly, "It's not, we all do things for the same master, what we are talking about is working together, there is no doubt or no doubt, less owner is more hearted." ”

"That's fine. Li Shijie smiled slightly, "The younger generation will also have an explanation with my father when I go back." ”

It is too early for the young owner to say this, and after two days, everything will be finished, and he will be at ease. ”

"Two days later?" Li Shijie raised his eyebrows, "Is there a beauty contest in two days?"

Zhou Yixuan smiled deeply, "The young owner is smart, we need too much, and the beauty contest in two days is a good opportunity, as long as we control the Hengxiang Inn that day, we don't have to worry." When the time comes, the benefits of your Hongyuan Villa will be indispensable. ”

"If you can trust the juniors, the juniors will also contribute when the time comes. Li Shijie took a sip of the teacup, and sighed silently in his heart, he didn't understand when he became such a filthy person, unscrupulous for the sake of so-called interests.

"That's good, of course. In this case, I would be more respectful than obey. ”

Su Kexin sat silently and listened, without saying a word, Zhou Yixuan seemed to pay attention and looked at Su Kexin deeply, "Hehe, we have been talking about such a serious matter, so Miss Su is impatient!"

Li Shijie also glanced at Su Kexin, and sighed slightly, "The little sister has a big heart, so she has to come with her, thanks to the fact that the head of the Zhou family does not dislike it." ”

Su Kexin seemed to have just come back from his contemplation, "It's okay, I can continue to wait, you continue." ”

"Hehehehehe......"

A cold wind blew outside, and Li Zifeng, who was dormant on the roof, flew away silently.
