Chapter 101 As the elder brother, I have no reason to refuse
Zuixianju Meixiang Pavilion.

I saw Jiang Mu walking in with a letter in his hand, he bowed and said: "My lord, the guard outside the door received a letter, which was delivered by a man on behalf of his master. His master said , it’s for you on Eleven.”

Prince Gong, who was reading a book with his head down, raised his head and asked in doubt, "Eleventh?"

For a moment, surprise suddenly appeared on his face, and he quickly took the letter... A moment later, Fang said, "Eleventh is going back to Tianqi!"

Jiang Mu on the side asked suspiciously: "My lord, who is Eleven?"

Only Prince Gong Murong An said slowly: "He is the eleventh younger brother of this prince. According to his seniority, he should be a prince with the same title as this prince and Prince Yu, but because he left Tianqi early and went to his mother's house in the Western Zhou Dynasty On the Mohist side, over time, everyone has forgotten the existence of Eleven."

"It turned out that there were 11 brothers and sisters in the generation of the first emperor. But my lord, since the eleventh lord has been away for so long, why did he suddenly return to Tianqi?" Jiang Mu said.

"It is written in the letter that on the [-]th, I will go back to Tianqi to pay homage to my deceased mother." Prince Gong said: "It seems that the emperor should have received the letter from the Mo family."

"My lord, will you go to the palace when the eleventh lord comes back?" Jiang Mu asked.

"After the first emperor ascended the throne, this king no longer enters the palace, so naturally he won't go now either." Prince Gong said.

Immediately ordered: "Jiang Mu, you are ready to prepare. The Eleventh is estimated to be only a few days away, and the apocalypse will arrive. When that time comes, it will be good to entertain the Eleventh Prince in a small building."

"Yes, I obey." Jiang Mu bowed and replied.

At the same time, the teahouse of Prince Yu's Mansion.

I saw Prince Yu looking at the letter in his hand with surprise on his face...
On the side, Li Yue, Eunuch Li bowed and saluted: "My lord, the emperor said that you should consider it carefully and give him a reply as soon as possible."

After a while, Prince Yu replied: "Okay, this king knows. At that time, this king will enter the palace to reply to the emperor."

However, at this moment, the housekeeper of Prince Yu's Mansion came in, bowed and handed over a letter, and said, "My lord, a man outside the mansion just sent a letter, saying it was for you on November."

At this moment, both of the two people in the teahouse looked at the butler in surprise, only to see that Prince Yu took the letter quickly... After a while, Fang said: "Li Yue, when you return to the palace to report to the emperor, just say that the eleventh prince returned to the imperial capital. At that time, I wanted to temporarily live in Prince Yu's Mansion."

Li Yue, Eunuch Li, was surprised when he heard the words: "Ah, I live in Prince Yu's Mansion!"

I only heard Prince Yu continue to say: "Eleventh, I have been away from Tianqi for many years. Since I am coming back now, I want to live here temporarily. As my elder brother, I have no reason to refuse. Do you think so?" Prince Yu returned the letter from the Mo family. Li Yue.

Li Yue immediately bowed and replied: "Yes, my lord, this servant understands, and this servant immediately returns to the palace to report to the emperor."

"Go." Prince Yu waved his hand and said.

"Eunuch Li, this old slave will take you out." The butler said with a bow.

Li Yue just hurried back to the palace.

Prince Yu was left alone in the teahouse, and Prince Yu was staring at the letter in his hand with a solemn expression. After a moment, he murmured: "Eleventh, are you really just coming back to pay homage to your deceased mother?"

Marquis Wending's Mansion, Pianting Tea Room.

I saw a group of eunuchs who were eating and drinking in Du Chuanchao's tea room, bowed and said, "Dear fathers-in-law, you have worked hard today. Ms. Qiaoer came back by the way to get some personal belongings for the concubine Xian, please wait a moment, father-in-law."

Only one eunuch replied: "Director Du, it's fine, we'll just wait."

"Well, good." Du Chuan nodded and replied with a smile, and glanced at another follower by his side.

I saw that attendant walked to the other side and brought a wooden plate with several purses on it. He went forward one by one and distributed one to each of the eunuchs on the dining table, saying: "Dear eunuchs, you have worked hard." .”

"Hey...Mr. Du, you are too polite." A eunuch said.

"It should be, fathers-in-law, eat well, and Miss Qiaoer will come to find you later after she finishes picking up the things." Du Chuan said with a smile.

"Okay, no problem, Director Du, please do your work first." A eunuch replied.

Du Chuan turned around and told the maidservants behind him: "You guys carefully look at what your father-in-laws are still missing, and make sure to make up for them in time, understand?"

"Yes, servants obey." All the servants bowed and replied.

Dugu Ziyan's study room.

······
"My lord, the general situation is like this. The young lady seems to have doubts, and the servant is really worried, so I will take this opportunity to come back and talk to you." Qiao'er bowed and replied.

Dugu Ziyan nodded and replied: "Qiao'er, what you did is right. Once the young lady has a temper, sometimes she will ignore the front and back. You must be more careful around the young lady."

Qiao'er heard the words and bowed back: "Yes, I understand."

Dugu Ziyan said again: "Don't let Yan'er know what happened in Marquis of Wu'an just now, lest Yan'er get angry again."

"Yes, I understand." Qiao'er replied.

Just listen to Du Guzi's words and continue to say: "Since Yan'er has agreed to the emperor about the matter of the Honghe Pavilion, let's do it first. You tell the lady, I will investigate the matter of the Honglu Pavilion, so that Yan'er can rest assured." , as long as she does her part well, don't let the emperor catch her."

"Yes, the maidservant will tell Miss." Qiao'er bowed and replied.

After a while, Qiao'er said again: "My son, at lunch today, the emperor left the table suddenly. Miss asked the servant to inquire. When the servant went to the imperial study to look for Li Yue, he saw that it was Master Fang Zicheng, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, who came out of the imperial study. Later, the emperor sent Eunuch Li to Prince Yu's mansion, at that time Qiaoer vaguely heard that the emperor mentioned the eleventh uncle."

I saw Dugu Ziyan showing surprise instantly: "Uncle Eleven? Did you hear me right?"

Qiao'er nodded and replied: "It should be true, but the servants are not sure."

After a while, Duguzi said again: "Forget it, you go back to the palace first. Don't tell Miss about this, lest Miss get curious and turn into something bad. I will investigate again."

"Yes, that servant will leave first." Qiao'er bowed and retreated.

Side hall tea room.

Qiao'er came in and said, "Has everyone finished eating?"

All the eunuchs hurriedly got up and walked over: "Hey... Miss Qiaoer, you are here."

Qiaoer smiled slightly, and said to everyone: "Well, since everyone has finished eating, let's go back. But what happened in Wu'anhou Mansion just now, after everyone returns to the palace, don't mention it again, you know?" ? You know, if the empress is unhappy, everyone will have a bad life!"

The eunuchs were shocked when they heard the words, and bowed back, "Yes, Miss Qiaoer, the servants understand."

"Well, let's go then." Qiao'er nodded and replied, and led all the eunuchs out of Marquis Wending's mansion one by one.

Apocalypse Palace, Chengqian Palace.

Qiao'er bowed back and said: "Your Majesty, the reward has been sent to the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion with great fanfare according to your Majesty's instructions. When I arrived at the gate of the mansion, the slaves also said that this was a gift from the Empress Xianfei to Xiao Jinxuan. My Majesty, Many people are watching along the way.”

Dugu Yan smiled when he heard the words: "Oh, it's done well. How about the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion?"

"Go back to your mother, the Marquis of Wu'an has already received the reward." Qiaoer replied, then changed the subject and said, "My lady, when you just came back, Qiaoer went back to the Marquis's residence."

When Dugu Yan heard the words, he immediately asked anxiously: "Oh, brother, did you say anything?"

Qiao'er bowed and replied: "Go back to your mother, the son said that since you have taken over the affairs of the Honghe Pavilion, you will do it first, and the other sons will help you to check, so you can rest assured." Be careful not to let the emperor catch you."

Dugu Yan clenched the hands under his sleeves when he heard the words, and after a while, Fang said again: "Okay, I know. Qiaoer, you go and get ready, the day after tomorrow we will leave the palace to go to the Honglu Pavilion."

"Yes, empress." Qiao'er bowed and retreated, and when she walked out of the palace gate, she glanced suspiciously...
