Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 44
"Today's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is really not in vain!"

"You saw it just now... the chess master of Chonghua County is really amazing!"

Zeng Shaoqing, who was sitting next to Lu Xiao, was beaming with joy as he was talking, but when he turned around and saw the empty dessert plate in front of Lu Xiao, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

Looking at him dumbfounded, he frowned and said:
"Aren't you a sweet tooth?"

Lu Xiao threw the last piece of pastry from his fingertips into his mouth, glanced at Li Taiwei, clapped his hands, got up and said:

"Today's pastry is really good."

After saying that, under Zeng Shaoqing's surprised gaze, he lifted his robe and went straight out of Qiwu Palace.

After leaving the door and turning around a long corridor, an inner chamber official was approaching him, and when he was about to pass by, the inner servant suddenly turned his head to look north, and then walked straight away.

Lu Xiao's eyes dimmed, and without stopping, he turned around the Hanging Flower Gate and headed north.

A side hall in the north is a place for men to change clothes and rest. At this time, Prince Chun's son Ming Yu had already run away to clean the room for two sessions, with a livid face, he kicked over the maid who was serving the clean face.

"Useless things!"

Ming Yu just got up, and felt a cramping pain in his stomach again, he couldn't help but bowed, and walked towards the clean room.

As soon as Lu Xiao stretched his long legs, he stood in front of him.

Mingyu was taken aback, covered his swollen abdomen, raised his eyes to look at Lu Xiao, the ninja said in pain:
"Is something wrong, Master Lu?"

Lu Xiao glanced coldly across his face, nodded, and said:

"Where is Ming Shizi going?"

Mingyu's expression darkened, he was suffering from severe abdominal cramps, so he naturally wanted to clean the room.But right now, he suddenly said this to Lu Xiao, and felt that the face he lost in Qiwu Palace just now was pierced face to face, so he said perfunctorily:

"There are some urgent matters to be done, please feel free, Mr. Lu."

After saying that, he glared at the motionless Lu Xiao who stood straight in front of him, and Ming Yu held his aching belly, gritted his teeth and said:
"What does Lu Shizi mean by this?"

Lu Xiao suddenly took a serious look at Mingyu, and said quietly:
"I also have something urgent to tell Shizi Ming."

Ming Yu's face turned pale from the pain. Although he had no personal friendship with Lu Xiao, this guy's reputation in the middle of the capital as a devil king was beyond the reach of the third son of Duanjun Wangfu. He didn't want to provoke Changping Houfu for no reason. A son who has no fists and feet but no eyesight.

Today he came to look for him suddenly, maybe there is something important.Mingyu gasped twice, trying to stabilize his figure, trying to make himself look less embarrassed.

"Please speak, Lu Shizi."

Lu Xiao glanced at the palace attendants beside Mingyu with a somewhat embarrassed expression, and said:
"This statement is related to the face of Prince Ming and Prince Chun's residence, so let them avoid it."

Seeing his appearance, Mingyu couldn't help but think of the embarrassment in the palace just now. Although he was a little annoyed, he was also curious about what Lu Xiao wanted to say to him about something important, so he turned his head and said to the maid serving at the side:
"Go back all!"

The palace people felt relieved and hurriedly retreated.

In just a short while, dense beads of sweat oozed from Mingyu's forehead, and he said to Lu Xiao in a tight voice:

"Lu Shizi quickly said, what is the important thing?"

Lu Xiao raised his eyebrows, pretending to be surprised and said:
"What? Ming Shizi's complexion is not looking good? Do you want to invite the imperial physician?"

Mingyu was in so much pain that he had dick bumps all over his body. Hearing that his calves were trembling, he wanted to scold his mother:

"It's okay! If Lu Shizi is fine, why not talk about it another day! I'm in a hurry..."

"Your Majesty Ming, do you know that I have a big quarrel with the Princess Chonghua?"

Lu Xiao interrupted his words, with a look of deep heart-to-heart with him between his brows.

Ming Yu was startled, and the foot that Fang was about to step out was taken back abruptly.

The conflict between Li Taiwei and Lu Xiao in Chenghemen was suppressed by the Lu and Li families.But after all, it was the disturbance at the gate of the city, so he still heard a few gossips.

Thinking of this, Mingyu's eyes lit up, and he endured the abdominal pain, with an air of listening attentively.

"Young Master Lu, you might as well just say it straight!"

As the saying goes, the enemy of your enemy is your friend!He, Lu Xiao, had lost face in front of her, Li Taiwei, and had such a temperament of a devil in the world, if he could help him teach Li Taiwei a lesson today and make her lose face in front of everyone, who would remember what happened to him today? Son!
Seeing Ming Yu's blushing face, Lu Xiao kept his face serious, and continued:
"Brother Ming doesn't know something. I accidentally got her way in the verbal dispute that day. Didn't I think that Brother Ming was just in Qiwu Palace today, and it almost caused a catastrophe!"

Mingyu's complexion changed again and again, his heart hung up, he clutched his lower abdomen tightly, and couldn't help saying:
"How do you say that?"

Lu Xiao looked at Ming Yu in surprise, with an expression of "You have caused such a big disaster, and you didn't even know it?" on his face.

Mingyu was sore and sore, he was about to scold his mother in his heart, and then he heard Lu Xiao come over, and said very seriously on his face:

"Six feet."

Ming Yu suddenly raised his head, staring at Lu Xiao's serious face with an inexplicable expression, he was completely stunned:
"What? You said six feet?"

Lu Xiao raised his eyebrows:

"You don't remember what Shizi Ming said just now?"

Mingyu's body trembled a little, but he still swallowed with difficulty, and said in a daze:
"I hope Lu Shizi can make some suggestions."

Lu Xiao let out a long sigh, and said quietly:

"Dwelling in the Wu Palace, just now, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the son bluntly said that he is a seven-foot man"

"You can tell that your son is only six feet tall."

"If these words make people more serious, this place is the imperial city before His Majesty! At the feet of the Son of Heaven, this is a crime of deceiving the emperor, and it is related to the reputation and survival of your Prince Chun's residence!"

Ming Yu almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, stared at Lu Xiao in shock, and said viciously:
"Lu Shizi just wanted to tell me this?"

Lu Xiao raised his eyes, let him stare with a half-smile, and still acted like a good person, saying:
"What? How do you think I was defeated by her Princess Chonghua? I was also severely punished by my father!"

"This woman's city is extremely deep, Ming Shizi must be careful to deal with it! If we meet in the future, I advise Shizi, don't act rashly, so as not to burn yourself."

Mingyu swayed, and finally couldn't help saying:

"Okay! Thank you Lu Shizi for your suggestion."

After saying that, instead of looking at Lu Xiao, he leaned on the wall, crossed his legs and moved forward with difficulty.

"Ming Shizi really doesn't want me to find an imperial doctor for you?"

Mrs. Li said slightly.

Mingyu bowed and walked forward, he didn't have the strength to answer, he just wanted to hurry to the clean room.

After finally going around the pillars of the corridor, when I turned to the clean room, I felt a numbness in the bend of my knees, and I fell down.
Mingyu was shocked, his body froze, a foul smell came out from under his body, he didn't know what to do now, he shouted a few words in panic, "Come on! Come on!"

But at this moment, the sound of chaotic footsteps could be heard, and His Royal Highness came over with a group of princes from aristocratic families.
