Chapter 56 So You Lost It!

After leaving the palace, Ye Jingtang ate breakfast on the street and then returned to Ranfang Street.

He led the horse into the courtyard, and when he looked up, he saw white birds squatting on the steps, and there was a pile of small wooden boxes in front of them, which contained dried meat, dried fish, etc.

Seeing him come back, Niao Niao politely gestured for snacks with her wings:

"Gee~"

It probably means "Would you like some?"

"Who bought it for you?"

"jijiji..."

Niao Niao spread her wings and gestured for Big Tits.

Such a big incident happened yesterday, Sanniang must have heard the news, and it is reasonable to come to visit.

There was no sign of Sanniang in the yard. It seemed that he was guessing that he would not come back after staying in the palace for a short time, and that he had already returned to Tianshui Bridge.

He came to the steps, jumped up, and took out the "Singing Dragon Picture" that the bird had hidden from the birdhouse under the eaves.

Luo Ning and Zhe Yunli were not at home, and living alone was really boring. After Ye Jingtang watered the flowers and plants planted by Luo Ning, he carried the birds on his shoulders and prepared to go to Tianshui Bridge to ask Sanniang to report his safety.

But what he didn't expect was that before he walked out of Ranfang Street, a fast horse came running from the street, and a black Yamen catcher sat on it, and Yaoyao got off the horse:
"Young Master Ye, Prince Jing invites you to come over."

Ye Jingtang had just returned from the palace, and his heart sank when he heard these words—could it be that Prince Jing found that Mr. Jiao, who had hidden martial arts secret books, was missing, and asked him to go over and question him?
Ye Jingtang was indeed wronged, without any delay, he got on his horse again and returned to Mingyu Tower.

This time he didn't go through the back door of the black yamen, and the police quickly led him to the main street of the Wangfu. There were forbidden soldiers standing guard along the street, and it was even thicker outside the gate of the Wangfu. Stand under the steps and look up.

Seeing it from a distance, Ye Jingtang quickly got off his horse and walked to the majestic gate of the palace:

"Meet Your Highness. Your Highness can be greeted by someone, why go out to greet him in person?"

Dongfang Liren smiled, and when Ye Jingtang came to him, he walked into the palace side by side:

"Don't say these official words. Yesterday you risked your life to save me. I wanted to wait for you to wake up and thank you face to face, but just now someone came from the court, so I can only let you go back first. Don't worry too much."

Knowing that someone had come to the palace just now, Ye Jingtang thought Miss Yuhu was telling the truth, so he confessed his crime without waiting for Prince Jing to ask questions:

"It's offensive to say it. I woke up just now, and I was wandering in Mingyu Building, and found a red sandalwood box on the bookshelf, which contained... eh?"

Before Ye Jingtang could finish his sentence, he suddenly noticed the aloof and dignified Dongfang Benben, stopped abruptly, then turned around, grabbed his collar with his hands, his eyes were full of anger, and his brows were erect!

The surrounding maids hurriedly bowed their heads, and Niao Niao shrank her neck!

Ye Jingtang was a little confused, and raised his hands to explain:
"I didn't lose anything, I threw it into the lake... eh!"

thump—

A soft sound.

Dongfang Liren's fat-headed dragon was about to explode in anger. He pressed Ye Jingtang against the screen wall of Panlong, gnashing his teeth:
"So you threw it?!"

Ye Jingtang felt that Dongfang Liren was very angry, so he raised his hand to signal:

"Yeah... um... broke?"

Dongfang Liren said that he explained to his sister for a long time just now why she acted like 'you dare to lie to me', so the problem lies here!
"you……"

Dongfang Liren was almost cheated to death, and he wished he could beat Ye Jingtang up.

But remembering what happened yesterday when she sacrificed her life to save her, she couldn't say anything harsh. After gritting her teeth for a moment, she let go of her hand and regained the calm demeanor that a queen should have:

"Why did you throw it? Was it seen?"

"Just now there was a court lady who came to pay a visit to Prince Jing, and almost bumped into her. I was afraid that it would be discovered and His Highness would be misunderstood by the palace, so I lost it. Is it a big deal?"

maid of honor...

Dongfang Liren immediately understood the meaning—my sister had already seen Ye Jingtang, so she kept asking her about her lover just now.

Judging by Ye Jingtang's appearance, she probably doesn't know the identity of her sister...

Dongfang Liren breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not a big deal, it's just that when we were wandering around, we found dirty things thrown into the lake, which is out of style. That maid, did you see you?"

Ye Jingtang knew what King Jing was worried about, and explained:
"I just asked who I am. I'm afraid of being misunderstood by the palace. I explained clearly my origin and why I appeared in Mingyu Tower. Don't worry, Your Highness."

Seeing this, Dongfang Liren nodded, his expression returned to normal, and he asked with concern:
"Are you feeling better?"

"It's all right now."

"That's good……"

Dongfang Liren remembered Mrs. Wang's doctor's order, thought for a while, and asked casually:
"You are handsome, good at martial arts, and have a chivalrous heart. There should be many ladies who pursue you, right?"

"It's quite a lot. In Liangzhou, matchmakers came to promise marriage at the age of thirteen or fourteen. Some of the tough and powerful ladies wanted to snatch people."

Dongfang Liren didn't doubt this, and said curiously:
"So you have a lot of old acquaintances?"

Ye Jingtang promised Luo Nvxia, and responded:
"Your Highness is joking, I only have one person I like, and he is not in the capital now."

There is only one lover...

When Dongfang Liren heard this, he didn't doubt it, because Mrs. Wang said that Ye Jingtang must be clean this year and has never been in contact with women...

But he has to get in touch with female sex, and he has to get in touch with several, otherwise he will be overwhelmed...

Dongfang Liren hesitated a little, and said very tactfully:
"You didn't think about finding a few more?"

"grumble?!"

This remark not only shocked Ye, but even the birds felt that something was wrong.

Ye Jingtang blinked his eyes, he really couldn't bear the fiery queen:
"Your Highness, this... um..."

Dongfang Liren realized that this made Ye Jingtang misunderstand, fearing that he might misunderstand, he explained:
"Just kidding. I thought you were quite lecherous, but I didn't expect you to be a man in love...

"Ha ha……"

Ye Jingtang couldn't figure out what Prince Jing meant, so it was really hard to answer randomly.

While chatting, the two walked through corridors and buildings, and came to a water pavilion by the Koi Lake.

The waterside pavilion is quite elegantly decorated, with colorful flowers outside, bead curtains hanging near the lake, and dancers in colorful clothes dancing and playing music on the stage opposite the lake.

There is a long table in the water pavilion, all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas have been served, there are dozens of them, and there are several jars of old wine on the table.

The 'ruthless dry rice chicken' who was walking in front of the two, saw this scene and his eyes lit up, but in front of outsiders, he still had to restrain himself, he just watched eagerly and didn't fly over directly.

Dongfang Liren sits gracefully sideways behind the long table. His tall figure is matched with a gorgeous boa robe, and his posture is gorgeous and magnificent. The bulging skirt can be placed on the table with a slight forward tilt. A flawless and seductive arc is like a painting of a lady carefully drawn by a famous artist.

Ye Jing sat upright, didn't look around, but looked at the very familiar bird with his eyes.

Dongfang Liren held up his wine glass and slightly raised his hand in respect:
"You have made meritorious service this time, what reward do you want?"

Ye Jingtang picked up his wine glass in return, and took advantage of the situation and said:
"I have already learned the "Tianhe Sword", and I used it to fight against the enemy yesterday, and I have a mentor with Qiu Tianhe..."

Dongfang Liren understood the meaning and said cheerfully:
"I will keep what I say. You've already done your business, so I won't make things difficult for you. But you can't let people go today. Xue Bodhi has not yet been brought to justice. Martial law is in place inside and outside the capital. If Qiu Tianhe is released from the dungeon rashly, the people in the yamen are easily distracted. After two days King Tianben will arrange it, so you don't have to worry about it."

Ye Jingtang was determined, seeing Prince Jing so forthright, he said again:

"Then "Dragon Slaying Order"..."

Dongfang Liren blinked his eyes and put on a serious look:
"It was agreed at the beginning that you would use a set of saber techniques to exchange dragon slaying orders with me; have you learned Tianhe sword yet?"

Ye Jingtang was taken aback, and thought to himself: You can't learn it with your clumsy hands, so you still have the nerve to question me confidently?

But this must not be said, Ye Jingtang nodded helplessly:

"I will definitely study the training method seriously, and teach the Tianhe Dao to His Highness as soon as possible."

Dongfang Liren nodded slightly, and after drinking two glasses of wine, he suddenly remembered that Ye Jingtang was going out, but the Holy Majesty just called his name and let Ye Jingtang enter the palace for inspection...

"Yejingtang, you said you want to help the family with business, are you in a hurry?"

Ye Jingtang was afraid of being left behind by Prince Jing and ruining the matter of Honghualou, so he could only say:
"The time has been set, but I'm in a hurry... Your Highness has arrangements."

Dongfang Liren sighed: "Xue Bodhi has not been brought to justice. If there is trouble in the palace, the king will be impeached by the courtiers. I wanted you to help me and go to the imperial city for two days. If you are in a hurry, forget it."

Go to the imperial city on duty?

I don't seem to be in a hurry anymore...

Ye Jingtang really didn't expect that happiness would come so suddenly. Seeing that Dongfang Liren was about to cancel the arrangement, he responded:
"It's an honor to be able to serve His Highness. Hmm... There is indeed an urgent matter at home, but today and tomorrow, I will be patrolling the palace, so there is no conflict in time."

Dongfang Liren nodded slightly, thinking of Mrs. Wang's 'doctor's order', he felt that it would be impossible not to say anything, and said tactfully:

"When you are a daughter on a pilgrimage, there are no concubines in the harem, and there are not many taboos for men to go in. During your inspection, if you see a maid you like, you can openly tell the king that you have meritorious escort, and I will give you a reward." It's only natural for a few people around me to serve tea and pour water."

Ye Jingtang pondered for a while, felt that this was a test for him, and said righteously;
"Your Highness is joking, even if I need people around me to serve tea and water, why would I go to the imperial city to look for them. When will I start patrolling the imperial city?"

Dongfang Liren drank a few glasses of wine, his cheeks were also stained with a blush, and he aimed at Ye Jingtang:
"It's boring to drink with the king, and you're in a hurry to leave?"

"Your Highness speaks seriously. I am afraid that I will drink too much and miss the business."

Dongfang Li saw Ye Jingtang's gentleman's appearance "polite in speech, unmoved by beautiful women and wine", and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
"If you really have the style of a gentleman, I don't know what kind of woman his favorite is..."

Dongfang Liren took out a waist card and threw it to Ye Jingtang:
"No one knows if the rebels will disturb Miyagi. The sooner the inspection is over, the better. You take this king's sign and go to Shang Jianli, and he will explain the precautions to you."

Ye Jingtang took the waist badge, got up and bowed his hands and said goodbye.

Niao Niao followed each step and turned her head three times. Before going out, she even waved her wings:

"Gee~"

Fat head dragon sister goodbye.

Dongfang Liren smiled, raised his hand and shook, and responded:
"grumble!"

After one person and one bird walked out of the water pavilion, Dongfang Li sighed faintly, with a complex look on his brows...
