Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 24

"One way is for Wuyan to follow me into Bai's house for a banquet. Although I don't like my father, and I don't want to be seen by the ladies in Yanjing City, but every time Mrs. Bai's post will send a copy to my mother. , but we've never been there."

Obviously, it would not be a good thing to go. Although Mrs. Bai was equally enthusiastic, the guests who attended the banquet were not, so why bother to judge people's faces by Bai.

What's more, if I really go, it is still unknown whether the banquet at Zhenbai's family can be successfully completed.

Ji Wuyan understood the unfinished meaning between the words, "What about the second method?"

"The wives hold banquets, and they like to invite some girls to the house to sing and dance to add to the excitement. Fengchenju is in full swing these days. I heard that many wives are queuing up at Aunt Chaoyun's side to invite the girls over. Among them, there should be There is Mrs. Bai. However, if this is the case, Fengchenju will not be able to refuse these invitations at will in the future, and even whoever goes to the house first, who to go to, and when to go, there will be particulars... then you can't do it alone."

Although Fengchenju is in full swing, Chaoyun has not nodded to accept the invitation of any family so far, obviously unwilling to prematurely push Fengchenju into the field of power and fame.Shen Luoxin understood this point, and it was because of this that she felt that the second method was not as good as the first one.

"If you go with me, although you may be involved and suffer some gossip because of me, but fortunately, it's just some verbal disputes, you don't have any worries, and you won't really offend the wives in those circles."

Clearly and clearly organized.

He really considered this issue from the standpoint of Ji Wuyan and Fengchenju.

"Is it difficult for you?" Ji Wuyan turned his head to look, and the other party also looked at his side, but the expression was not clear on the face behind the light.She knew that what Chen Luoxin said was right, but she couldn't ignore Shen Luoxin's own feelings. Even if it was just some verbal disputes, the words fell on her body like a knife, and it was still like a sharp pain.

"It's okay." Chen Luoxin seemed to smile, a little nonchalantly, and yawned, as if she was sleepy, "It's not just their mother who gave birth to them, it's like my mother gave birth to a dumb... Besides, I'm used to it..."

The voice gradually weakened, and the breathing gradually calmed down.

"Meow..." The cat jumped up onto the window sill, its snow-white fur dancing lightly under the moonlight.It seemed to be wary and afraid of the girl who broke into its territory tonight. It squatted at the window and looked at it for a while, and then let out another soft cry inside.

It seems to be hesitating.

Shen Luoxin turned her back to the window and didn't respond, she must have fallen asleep.

She was indeed frightened tonight, and now she suddenly relaxed, she was fast asleep, not to mention a cat, maybe even a group of cats dancing on the gongs and drums would not wake her up.

Ji Wuyan waved towards the window, "Xiaoyuan, come in."

The cat raised its paw, looked at Shen Luoxin again, and finally jumped up, passed the opponent and landed on the ground, then climbed onto Ji Wuyan's bed in two or three steps, and found a place in her arms. Son, snuggled up to sleep.

……

The world quieted down.

In the more distant streets and alleys, the bellman with a loud voice walked all the way, and fell into the dreams of an unknown number of people.

The smell of dampness in the air became stronger, and even the eyelashes seemed to be covered with water vapor after walking around.

The man wrapped in a black cloak hurried through the streets all the way, lowering his head and not looking sideways. The drunk man who brushed the skirt of the robe to the end did not stop, but the drunk man cursed and said who took him away. brocade quilt.

The man finally stopped at the door of the inconspicuous house, grabbed the copper ring on the door and knocked three times. After waiting for a while, when no one opened the door, he knocked three more times.

The door was opened a crack from the inside, and a servant-like face poked out. After looking left and right, he retracted, opened the door another crack, and welcomed the person outside the door in.

The door was quickly closed again.

Just in the gap between opening and closing, the noise and yelling came from inside, with the turbid smell of alcohol unique to the night.

The man in the black cloak was led by the servant all the way through the crowded crowd gambling at a table, without attracting any attention, all the way to the inner room.

There was no one in the inner room, only the flickering candles.

The man in black seemed to be surprised, he paused, turned around and asked the boy, "Your Highness is delayed?"

The servant slightly bent down and cupped his hands, "His Royal Highness has two sentences for you to convey..."

Startled, this means... I can't come here?Since it is conveyed, where can't it be conveyed, and I have to go here by myself to convey it?I felt a little unhappy in my heart, but I still politely cupped my hands, "Please tell me."

The young man imitated his master's tone at that time, with his hands behind his back, and even his tone of voice imitated vividly, "One, this matter has attracted the attention of the emperor, and Ning Xiuyuan is secretly contributing to the flames, don't try to use some money to cover it, you should If you admit your mistake and admit your mistake, you should apologize, and Yang Shaofei's spine is not straight."

The face under the cloak froze, and he didn't say anything, waiting for the next sentence.

"Second. I don't need to say which camp the Ye family belongs to. I don't need to say more. Yang Sima must be clear. The empress's handkerchief... Oh, I don't say, you really think that I am depressed recently, blind and deaf. Is it? Your Yang family has a good plan, but now that it can't start, you come to Bengong to deal with the aftermath?"

The other party suddenly raised his head, and was about to kneel down when his knees softened, thinking that there was a servant in front of him, even if he knelt, the prince would kneel for nothing if he couldn't see it, and he looked very embarrassed.At that moment, I just wiped the cold sweat off my forehead, and approached with a smirk, "Please, please tell your highness, this little brother, this official has never thought about it that way, this official is loyal to your highness and has no second thoughts. Love can be learned from the sun and the moon! If His Highness thinks this marriage is not good, he will let his wife go and retire tomorrow!"

"The benevolence of a woman is short-sighted and doesn't understand anything!"

The boy's expression was still a little dull, he only took a step back, avoiding the approaching body of the other party, frowned slightly, and said again, "No need."

"what?"

"His Royal Highness also said that since the Ye family somehow fell in love with your son, they took advantage of the opportunity, and it will always be useful in the future. But, don't get complacent and forget about your appearance. It's who made you come to where you are today..."

"Yes, yes, definitely, I will always keep it in my heart when I am an official."

The boy nodded, with one hand behind his back, his back was bent down naturally, he cupped his hands, with a blank face, "What Your Highness said, I will convey it, my lord, please go back."

The other party put the hood on tightly before leaving politely.
