The county owner is happy, and the scenery is remarried

Chapter 58 A Banquet at the Hongmen
Xiao Yuzhuo's palms were itchy, and he couldn't help rubbing them together, "I didn't see clearly, please write it again."

Zhu Xiang rubbed her fingertips and wrote it again, "That's what the fifteenth mother wrote on the maid's hand, and she also told the maid to tell the princess like this."

Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help frowning.

Zhuxiang wrote the word "Ji" in her hand.

Does she know anyone with the surname Ji?Or is it the low-status person surnamed Ji among the Xiao family's contacts?

"Reporting to the princess." A maid suddenly spoke outside the door.

Xiao Yuzhuo was thinking about it all over and didn't have a clue, so when he heard the sound, he asked the servant girl to come in.

"Your Majesty sent a servant to pass on the message." The servant girl saluted and said, "Your Majesty, please tell me that there is no need to prepare meals in the kitchen tonight, and your Majesty will bring his wife to the first floor for dinner."

Ok?
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback, "Is there any banquet? Or some special day?"

Mei Xiang hurriedly looked through the important schedules she had recorded, "Is there anything special?"

The little maid who delivered the message shook her head, "Lang Jun didn't explain."

Xiao Yuzhuo nodded and told her to go down.

"Lang Jun likes the food in the small kitchen more and more recently, and the big kitchen is going to be idle." Mei Xiang said with a smile, "Since I ate in the main courtyard that time, Lang Jun has even less time to socialize outside!"

Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, Jing Yannian looked majestic and domineering, he was a strong general, and he was actually a foodie in his bones!

It's not strange for men to socialize outside, Xia Chao's folk customs can be regarded as unrestrained, and it's not uncommon for women to socialize.

But the relationship between him and the princess... He has never had a meal with her outside.

A little later, Jing Yannian came back to pick her up in person.

He usually rides a horse when he goes out, and the first floor is not far away, so he sat in the carriage with her.

His shining black eyes kept falling on her.

Calling Xiao Yuzhuo feels uncomfortable.

"Where is the concubine dressed improperly?"

Jing Yannian smiled slightly, "Does it count as being too beautiful?"

Ok?Xiao Yuzhuo was so shocked that he almost choked to death with a sip of tea.

Did these words come from Jing Yannian's mouth?Does he look like someone who would say something like that?Is he having a convulsion?Or which love saint has crossed?

"I have a concubine in Xinghuafang, what's the matter?" Jing Yannian raised his eyebrows and asked.

Xiao Yuzhuo just swallowed that sip of tea, so it was after a quarrel?

She stabilized her mind and coughed lightly, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I used to be jealous, but now I have re-learned the three obediences and four virtues, and I am not the kind of person who can't tolerate others. If you have an outside room, you want to keep it outside , then continue to raise it. If you have a body, then take it home, I am not..."

"Xiao Shi!" Jing Yannian clamped Xiao Yuzhuo's neck.

The originally relaxed and joking atmosphere suddenly became rigid and stagnant.

Xiao Yuzhuo was strangled by him, almost unable to breathe, she slapped his hand hard.Is this person sick?How do you say that you turn your face when you turn your face?
Jing Yannian's handsome face was originally smiling slightly, but now it was dark and full of gloom.

"Some things, let's talk about it after thinking about it."

Jing Yannian's words seemed to be squeezed out between his teeth.

Xiao Yuzhuo's face flushed red, he was about to be strangled to death by him, now he didn't care about his integrity, he nodded and compromised repeatedly.

Only then did Jing Yannian let go of his hand, snorted coldly, and stopped looking at her.

"Isn't it just a joke?" Xiao Yuzhuo rubbed his neck and muttered softly.

Jing Yannian gave her a cold look, "It's kind of a joke, don't take it."

Xiao Yuzhuo looked at him with a frown, seeing the deep displeasure on his face, he didn't dare to provoke him any more.

The carriage stopped outside the first floor, and Jing Yannian jumped out of the carriage without even waiting for her.

When Zhuxiang helped her get off the carriage, she looked around and saw that Jing Yannian was far away, so she whispered in her ear: "I was in the barracks, and I heard someone accidentally mention that the general's appearance I don't care, in fact, I still care about my father from the bottom of my heart."

Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Zhuxiang suspiciously.

"Mrs. Jing was pregnant before marriage, and the princess graciously told her to return to the village. The general was born secretly. Originally, he was supposed to be admitted to my uncle's wife's house, but later, Mrs. Jing couldn't bear it." Zhu Xiang whispered to her. , "The general was often looked down upon when he was a child. It is said that he could walk, but because people said he was a wild child without a father, he fought with others..."

Xiao Yuzhuo looked up at the back of Gao An who was walking in front of him.

Could it be that his abilities were developed when he was bullied when he was a child?It seems that he is a tough person, but he also cares about such a dark and unfortunate childhood?
That's right, she should have thought about these things a long time ago, because she never thought about living a good life with him, so she ignored it, right?

"Mrs. Jing used to serve the eldest princess. If it hadn't been for this incident, she might still be the daughter-in-law of the princess." Mei Xiang also said while supporting Xiao Yuzhuo.

"Why don't I know?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked softly.

"Madam Jing moved to Zhuangzi before the princess was born. The eldest princess asked her who the man was, but she refused to say. The eldest princess is angry, so no one is allowed to mention this matter." Mei Xiang said, " The servant girl is a child of the family, and I also heard about it from Aniang and the others."

Only then did Xiao Yuzhuo understand, no wonder Mrs. Jing likes her and treats her well.Mostly because of her mother's kindness, although she is no longer a slave, but she was pregnant out of wedlock and did not obey women's morals. As the eldest princess, A Niang would kill her.

A Niang let her live and released her from slavery, this kindness is enough for her to remember for a lifetime.

Xiao Yuzhuo turned to think about how the eldest princess would feel when the princess wanted to marry Jing Yannian.
The eldest princess is the proud daughter of heaven, and she will only bow her head in front of her own daughter, right?
"Hush—" Jing Yannian, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped and looked back at Xiao Yuzhuo.

Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback for a moment, then looked up at him, and saw that he seemed to be listening to something.

Zhuxiang is also listening attentively.

Xiao Yuzhuo pricked up his ears, but he didn't hear anything.

She looked at Jing Yannian's face and seemed to have dissipated a lot of displeasure, so she boldly tiptoed to his side and whispered, "What are you listening to?"

Jing Yannian glanced at her, knowing that she couldn't hear her, so he put his arms around her, and took him a few steps closer.

He walked with her in his arms, but there was no sound at all.

The private room on the first floor is indeed very elegant, and the voice of Xiaoer shouting and greeting downstairs hardly disturbs the second floor. Under the shade of bead curtains and green plants, the second floor is like a castle in the air supported by green plants.

As they get closer, the voices of the people inside can be heard clearly.

"What's the point of me raising a concubine? Isn't it because my mother is too tight? Daddy, don't men have three wives and four concubines?"

This voice is so familiar, could it be Wei Qilang's?
A calm voice coughed lightly, or his father.

"Besides, does someone like General Lian Jing still have an outside room? Father, do you think so?" It was really Wei Qilang's voice, his father ignored him, but he himself said happily, "Dad, are you sure?" Look, General Jing's exterior is so beautiful, I can really see it through the car window! It's much better than the top sign of Cuiwei Building! No, it's not just beautiful, it's the temperament of the whole body that makes people look at it It's unbearable!"

"Nizi can't stop talking!" Wei Qilang's father finally couldn't help shouting angrily, "Why did you invite me to dinner when you are General Jing? How many people want to invite him to dinner, but he still refuses to go to the banquet!"

Wei Qilang chuckled, "Of course my father is amazing..."

"Bah! Do you think you deliberately spread rumors among the people, and people don't know that you did it?" Father Wei seemed to slap Wei Qilang, "This is a grand banquet!"

"Teach your son a lesson, why are you still doing it?" Madam's voice was extremely displeased.

Is this Mrs. Wei also here?
Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help but glance at Jing Yannian.

Wei Qilang spoke again, "Hongmen Banquet? Then you come again? Bring me and my mother? Is there a father like you?"

"Can I not come?" Father Wei said angrily, "If he gives me a small shoe to wear in front of the Holy One, we will be finished!"

"Then...then what should we do?" The woman's voice was flustered.

"I've inquired. General Jing is an upright man, not the one who plays tricks behind his back. If he can be calmed down today, this matter will be over..." Father Wei said.

Hearing this, Jing Yannian was probably a little embarrassed.He glanced at Xiao Yuzhuo, coughed, and walked towards the door with heavier footsteps.

When the people in the room heard the movement, they all shut up.

When Jing Yannian came to the door, he heard Wei Qilang's flattering voice.

Xiao Yuzhuo suddenly found it funny, what expression would he have when he saw that he was Jing Yannian's "outside room"?
Jing Yannian strode into the door, took a step, then turned around as if waiting for Xiao Yuzhuo.

With the help of the maid, Xiao Yuzhuo also stepped in.

Wei Qilang suddenly raised his eyes and saw her, "This...isn't this..."

He frowned and muttered, "General Jing asked father to take his wife with him, but he took the outer room himself. Isn't this intentional to embarrass my Wei family?"

Father Wei slammed his elbow into him.

Mrs. Wei was probably curious about the outer room her son was talking about, so she secretly raised her head to take a look.

When she saw this, her legs softened, "Jun, princess..."

Xiao Yuzhuo nodded at her expressionlessly.

If it wasn't for the maid supporting her, Mrs. Wei would have fallen limp to the ground. In front of her, her son said that she was a concubine... He was not strict in teaching his children, he really wanted to cheat his father to death!

Jing Yannian walked to the main seat, held Xiao Yuzhuo's hand, and sat down behind the food table together.

"Your Majesty Wei, you are welcome to sit down." Jing Yannian said slowly, his face was as usual, and there was no emotion at all on his handsome face.

Wei Qilang's family was particularly nervous, especially after Mrs. Wei recognized Xiao Yuzhuo.

Wei Qilang felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles, kneeling on his ankles, writhing uneasily.

Jing Yannian pretended not to notice, and beckoned for food.

When the food and wine were on the table, Kabuki also came forward with sanxian erhu, playing, singing and dancing in the private room.

From time to time, Jing Yannian raised his glass and said a few words to Wei's father, with a normal attitude, as if he had no other intentions at all.

But the more he behaved like this, the more uneasy Wei Qilang's family became.

At the end of the song, Wei's father finally couldn't sit still, "I'm not sensible, if I offend the general, I hope the general will be more generous..."

Jing Yannian looked at Father Wei, and burst out laughing, "What did Mr. Wei say? Mrs. Wei is strict in teaching her son, no one in Chang'an city does not hear it?"

Mrs. Wei's face was embarrassing, she lowered her head and dared not speak.

Father Wei laughed along, "General, you are joking, Zhuo Jing only has such a son from the direct line, so he must be arrogant."

Seeing that he refused to take the initiative to mention the matter of spreading rumors, Jing Yannian pursed his lips and drank, and stopped talking.

It's just that the expression on that handsome face became more and more unpredictable, which made people feel uneasy.

Wei Qilang is not as deep as his father in the city, and he endured for a long time without seeing the knife hanging from his head fall. He stretched his head and retracted his head, and he simply said: "I have admired the general's name for a long time, and I have admired the general for a long time. It's a pity that I have never dealt with the general before, and I had some misunderstandings with the general's entourage a few days ago, Wei Qi is here to apologize to you!"

Jing Yannian put down his wine glass and chuckled, "Oh? What misunderstanding did Wei Qilang and my followers have?"

Wei Qilang frowned, took a quick glance at Xiao Yuzhuo, and then quickly lowered his head, "Uh, this... I think that a gentleman's heart is judged by the heart of a villain, and I thought that the dignified general, like me, kept a foreign room outside... It really shouldn't be."

Embarrassed, Wei's father seemed to want to crawl through a crack in the ground.

Wei Qilang wasn't too embarrassed, "The general is upright, a bloody man, how can he raise a concubine outside? The princess is a virtuous and virtuous man, how can he not tolerate a concubine's room? I am really contemptuous."

Wei Qilang finished speaking with his head bowed, but he didn't hear Jing Yannian's reaction. He couldn't help but look up, only to see Jing Yannian staring at him thoughtfully.

"I heard," Jing Yannian finally said, "You still want to have tea with my wife?"

As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the private room froze like ice.

Wei Qilang lowered his head, he didn't expect him to mention this again, and he was afraid.

Father Wei came to his senses first, grabbed Wei Qilang's collar violently, and stretched out his palm, "Papa—" two big ear scrapers slammed on Wei Qilang's face.

Mrs. Wei felt distressed, but she didn't dare to say anything.

"Okay." Jing Yannian smiled, "Master Wei, don't be angry, I think it's because you and I have nothing to do with each other, so I invited Mrs. Wei and his wife here today, just to get in touch, let alone have tea , a glass of wine, a meal is enough, Mr. Wei said, right?"

Xiao Yuzhuo looked sideways at Jing Yannian, he really wasn't a man who would be unreasonable and unforgiving, and he was so quickly put under the steps of Wei's father.

Father Wei hurriedly cupped his hands in thanks, and his complexion improved a lot.

Madam Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly picked up a bowl to toast to Xiao Yuzhuo, "Your Majesty is free." She drank three bowls in a row to show her sincerity.

When Xiao Yuzhuo was about to drink a bowl of wine according to the occasion, the door of the private room was pushed open violently.

A door slams aside.

"Boom" sound.

Wei's father was shocked, thinking that Jing Yannian's politeness was just a lie, and he hid his knife and axe outside, and dropped the wine bowl on the ground.

But it was not a swordsman who came in.

"His Royal Highness?" Father Wei was surprised.

Jing Yannian also stood up from the back of the food table, his dark jewel-like eyes narrowed slightly, his emotions restrained.

"Why is King Yue here?" Jing Yannian cupped his hands in salute.

The man who came in was young, it seemed that he was not as young as a weak crown, with a smile on his face, and he was quite drunk in his steps, "I'm here to drink, and I'm about to leave. I saw General Jing's carriage outside, so I came up to take a look, sure enough. It's you!"

The king of Yue is the fourth son of the current emperor, whose name is Li Tai. His biological mother is not of high status, and he was granted the title of Zhaoyi after giving birth to him.

But his biological mother looks very beautiful, his face and eyes resemble his mother, male and female, quite coquettish.Most of the princes have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and he has no femininity, but a fortitude and heroism. In addition, he is only seventeen or eighteen years old. With such an appearance, King Yue can be called the dream lover of many noble women in Chang'an City.

"King Yue is drunk, why don't you send the prince back?" Jing Yannian asked the prince's attendants.

Li Tai waved his hand, "It's lively here, if I don't leave, I'll drink here."

He asked someone to add a food table, and sat down on Jing Yannian's left.

Jing Yannian had no choice but to step back and invite him to take the seat.After all, he is a prince!
When Li Tai moved to the upper seat, he staggered and bumped into Xiao Yuzhuo.

Xiao Yuzhuo frowned.

But he seemed to have just seen her, "Hey, isn't this Princess Shouchang? Why are you here?"

Jing Yannian raised his hand to hold her hand, "I'll take Madam out for a sit down."

"Oh—" Li Taimeng slapped his forehead, "General Jing hasn't retired yet, Princess Shouchang?"

Xiao Yuzhuo stared, can this king of Yue speak human language?Is it her fault or what?
Although she is looking forward to reconciliation, she can say this, but no one else can say it!

"King Yue is really drunk!" Jing Yannian's face darkened, his displeasure was truly frightening.

Li Tai laughed and fell drunk on the main seat, "This dance is not good, I want to see the neon clothes and feather clothes!"

When the king of Yue came, the room was filled with the smell of alcohol.Besides, Wei Qilang had already apologized and admitted his mistake, Xiao Yuzhuo felt that there was no need for him to sit down.

Entertainment, it's a man's business.

She turned her face to Jing Yannian and said, "I'll go out to catch my breath."

Maybe the music is too loud and her voice is too low.Jing Yannian leaned closer to her as if he didn't hear clearly.

Xiao Yuzhuo was afraid that he would not be able to hear him again, so she also leaned forward. Inadvertently, her lips brushed against his ears, "I'll go for a walk."

King Yue happened to look over, his eyes narrowed slightly, he didn't know if he was drunk or saw something, and smiled teasingly at them.

Jing Yannian's ears turned red suspiciously, and he nodded stiffly, "There is a garden behind the restaurant, don't go too far."

Xiao Yuzhuo got up quietly, took the two servant girls Zhuxiang and Meixiang downstairs and walked towards the garden behind.

The first floor occupies a large area. In addition to the exquisite layout of the second floor, which looks like a castle in the air, there is a real paradise in the backyard.

Surrounded by streams, passing through the artificial mangosteen forest.Under the cover of green bamboo, the spring water flows.

There are thrush parrots in the corridor, and you can see lights, figures, and birds singing.

Surrounded by corridors, there are pavilions and retro huts, which are chic and interesting.

At this moment, the backyard is very quiet except for a few huts in the distance with veils hanging and lights on, and it seems that young men are drinking and having fun.

"King Yue really can't speak." Xiao Yuzhuo snorted softly, "It's a pity that the food is so good."

Originally, I wanted to try the signature dishes on the first floor, so I asked the cook at home to learn to cook them too.

"The Princess has always been at odds with the King of Yue. I never thought that if we haven't seen each other for so long, it will still be like this when we meet?" Mei Xiang sighed.

Xiao Yuzhuo frowned upon hearing that, no wonder she felt that her aura was not in harmony?It turns out that the conflict between the two has been going on for a long time?

She stared and recalled that in the princess's memory, there were really not many things about other people.Only every bit about Jing Yannian is vivid in my memory.

"Ever since the princess drowned his cat, he has held a grudge against the princess." Mei Xiang reminded, "What kind of cat should a gentleman keep? Cats have nine lives, and who knows that his cat can't swim? "

Xiao Yuzhuo raised his eyes and looked at Mei Xiang, "These words are so familiar."

Zhu Xiang who was standing on the side also looked at Mei Xiang curiously, she was not as long as Mei Xiang followed Xiao Yuzhuo, there were some things she didn't know.

"Because the princess said it himself!" Mei Xiang giggled.

Xiao Yuzhuo frowned, how many years ago was that?The memory of the princess is very blurry, it seems that a cat scratched the skirt of the princess's new work, she wanted to wear it in front of Jing Yannian to attract his attention, but unexpectedly a cat jumped down from the willow tree by the river Come on, grab the skirt.

The princess was so angry that he had someone catch the cat and throw it into the river.

At that time, whether the princess wanted to drown the cat, she could no longer know now, she only vaguely remembered that the cat swam towards the shore for a while at first, and then sank and disappeared.

When Yue King Li Tai ran over from a distance, he couldn't even find a cat hair.

His gloomy eyes, the impression of the princess is still there.

Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help shivering, "Cats will hold grudges, don't say it!"

Mei Xiang looked around, although there were lanterns hanging in the garden, but in this dark night, the shadows cast by the old rockery trees swayed with the wind, and the shadows of the lanterns also swayed. It's really scary.

"Let's go back, they might have finished drinking." Xiao Yuzhuo was a little scared when he thought that he was a lonely ghost.

She got up from the pavilion and walked back.

As soon as I got to the corridor, I ran into a person head-on.

The man walked quickly.

She saw it but had no time to dodge, and bumped into the man with a "bang".

She only felt that her ear seemed to hit the man's shoulder or face, and it hurt sharply."Ouch" in her mouth.

Zhuxiang hurried forward and helped her away.

"What is His Royal Highness Yue running so fast for? Didn't you see anyone?" Mei Xiang was so courageous, seeing her princess being bumped, she yelled at the bumping King Yue.

King Yue leaned on the black-coloured pillar, bent over and vomited.

"Forget it, what's the fuss with a drunk?" Xiao Yuzhuo waved his hand and called Mei Xiang.

King Yue, who was holding on to the pillar, raised his head, "Who are you talking about drunk? Who is drunk? My lord never pours a thousand cups!"

Xiao Yuzhuo rolled his eyes, didn't bother to pay attention to him, and started to walk away.

I never thought that he would push forward, and even stretched out his hand in front of her, "Who am I? So it's Princess Shouchang? The princess married Mr. Ruyi, how are you doing now?"

Xiao Yuzhuo frowned, "The King of Yue is drunk!"

"Huh? No, no." Li Tai shook his head, "I'm not drunk, and I can still give you a set of big Hong fists!"

As he spoke, he really strode forward, clenched his hands into fists and put them at his sides.

He yelled, "Drink!" He punched Xiao Yuzhuo.

Zhuxiang stretched out her hand to stop her, but he swung it away.

He pounced forward - holding Xiao Yuzhuo in his arms!
The hairs all over Xiao Yuzhuo's body stood up.

But he hugged her tightly and breathed in her ear.

Zhu Xiang and Mei Xiang were even more dumbfounded.

Xiao Yuzhuo slammed into his crotch with his knee raised, Li Tai stretched out his hand to block her, and she escaped from his arms.A backhand "slap--" slapped Li Tai's face.

"It's time for King Yue to sober up!" Xiao Yuzhuo gritted his teeth.

Li Tai covered his face, looking at her with coquettish eyebrows, the lantern in the corridor was shaking, casting a dim light on his face.

At this moment of embarrassing stalemate, Li Tai's entourage came after him out of nowhere, "My lord, my lord...don't run so fast..."

Li Tai chuckled, staggered, and looked drunk again.

The entourage stepped forward to salute Xiao Yuzhuo, and he fell on the entourage, "Let's go, go back home!"

"It's the wrong direction, it's this way!" The attendant hurriedly pulled him away.

Xiao Yuzhuo was so angry that smoke rose from his seven orifices, this Li Tai!He actually took advantage of her!Just go!
"Princess..." Both Mei Xiang and Zhu Xiang were shocked, annoyed and frightened.

It seemed that she was afraid that she would really not let it go.

Once this kind of thing broke out, King Yue said that he was drunk and had no other intentions.Don't talk about punishment, but say that you can't still get a reputation for being romantic and affectionate.

But Xiao Yuzhuo's reputation is...

The two maids nervously supported Xiao Yuzhuo's hand.

She clenched her fists, watched Yue Wang staggering away, let out a long breath, "Go."

After walking a few steps, he saw Jing Yannian coming down from the second floor.

The Wei family father and son followed behind him, respectfully not knowing what to say.

He seemed to be listening, but he didn't seem to care, his gaze was cast on Xiao Yuzhuo from afar.

"Huh?" Mei Xiang paused, her tone slightly nervous, "Where's the princess's earrings?"

Xiao Yuzhuo's heart skipped a beat, and he stopped in his tracks.

On Zhuxiang's side, the scarlet emerald pendant on that ear is still there, but Meixiang's side is empty.

Xiao Yuzhuo lowered her eyebrows and thought about it, and suddenly remembered that when she collided with King Yue, her ear hurt sharply.

Did you lose your earrings at that time?Was the earring thrown down the corridor, or did it fall into the hands of King Yue?

Xiao Yuzhuo's heart sank slightly.

Only one earring is too conspicuous, but now that Jing Yannian is walking towards him, it's too late to remove the other earring.

"Princess, don't worry," Zhu Xiang said in a low voice, "The maid will take it down later when the Lord is not paying attention."

Xiao Yuzhuo hummed lightly, and took a few steps forward.

Jing Yannian stopped in front of her, raised his hand to hold her hand, and did not take into account that the father and son of the Wei family and Mrs. Wei were still present.

"Why are your hands so cold? Is it cold outside?"

The heat has just subsided, and the cold is not yet.

Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head, with a smile on his face, but nervous in his heart, "No."

Jing Yannian's dark eyes swept across her face.The piercing gaze was even more unsettling.

Wouldn't he have found out?
Xiao Yuzhuo has already prepared in his heart, if the earring is lost, it is better to say, if it really falls into the hands of King Yue, will King Yue use that earring to trick her?How would she respond?

While she was thinking about it, Jing Yannian was already holding her hand and walking outside.What's more, he has to help her into the carriage himself.

Zhu Xiang hurriedly stepped forward, "Come on, maidservant."

Jing Yannian didn't want to pay any attention to it, so Qiawei's father and son stepped forward to say goodbye and send him off respectfully.

When he turned back to return the salute, Zhu Xiang's hand quickly brushed across Xiao Yuzhuo's ear.

Xiao Yuzhuo really only felt the wind blowing past his ears, and didn't notice anything, the earrings had already disappeared.

She felt much calmer, and stepped into the carriage.

Jing Yannian also followed.

It was quiet in the carriage, he drank the wine, closed his eyes and leaned against the soft pillow.

After Xiao Yuzhuo calmed down, he realized that he hadn't done anything wrong, didn't he just lose his earring and be hugged by King Yue again?What's there to be nervous about?
King Yue hugged him, but no one else saw it, and the two servant girls were her confidantes.

The worst result is that King Yue took out the earrings and falsely accused her of throwing himself into his arms... Isn't it just that she doesn't admit it?
Seeing Jing Yannian, who was tall and had long legs, and could make the huge carriage full of his imposing aura even when he closed his eyes for a short breath, Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help shivering.

Forget it, more is worse than less.

Jing Yannian is arrogant, if such foul language is spread, why not strangle her to death?
He didn't speak a word along the way, and Xiao Yuzhuo even sat quietly by the side.

He didn't open his eyes until the carriage was approaching the house, and there seemed to be an undercurrent surging in the dark eyes.

"What is madam thinking?"

His voice was pleasant, and there was a slight smell of wine when he spoke, as if he was going to get everyone drunk.

"I didn't think about anything." Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head hastily.

The corners of Jing Yannian's mouth lightly raised, "You were not so quiet before? Now you are becoming less and less noisy."

Xiao Yuzhuo frowned slightly, why did the way Jing Yannian looked at her make her feel so uneasy?
"Because Mr. Lang doesn't like to be noisy." Answering like that, can't go wrong, right?
"Whatever I like, is that what you look like?" Jing Yannian's eyes darkened.

Ok?Xiao Yuzhuo paused, why does this sound like there is something in the words?
"General." The carriage stopped suddenly at the side door.

The porter stepped forward to report, "King Ji sent someone to explain the time of departure tomorrow."

He looked away, "Tell the housekeeper to get ready."

Xiao Yuzhuo breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly there seemed to be a ray of light flashing through his mind.

"What did the porter say?"

Jing Yannian looked up at her, "It's time to leave tomorrow."

"No, he said... Prince Ji?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked.

Jing Yannian smiled, "Why, madam is interested in Prince Ji again?"

Xiao Yuzhuo ignored his teasing, but suddenly understood in his heart!
The word Ji written by Zhuxiang in the palm of her hand is not Ji's surname!It's Ji Wang's Ji!

It was her preconceived idea that if Shiwu Niang refused to tell who that person was, it must be because the person's status was too low to be worthy of the Xiao family, so she concealed it.

How did she know that she refused to say it because the identity of that person was unattainable for the current Xiao family.

Xiao Yuzhuo frowned tightly, thinking about the possibility of Shiwu Niang and Ji Wang.

He didn't even notice that Jing Yannian condescended to help her out of the carriage, and he didn't realize that Jing Yannian was actually dragging her hand. The two walked back to the main courtyard from the vertical flower gate side by side.

When she found out, he was already sitting on the beauty couch in the main room, leisurely eating the steamed cheese she had prepared in advance.

"Lang Jun and Ji Wang are very familiar?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked tentatively.

Jing Yannian didn't raise his eyes, "Well, it's okay."

"That Prince Ji..." Xiao Yuzhuo hesitated, not knowing how to ask.

"Prince Ji has one concubine, one concubine, and one Liangdi. I don't know how to connect the house. There is still a vacancy for one concubine." Jing Yannian seemed to see through her mind at a glance, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Prince Ji He is often praised by the Holy Majesty, saying that he has excellent character."

Xiao Yuzhuo nodded quickly, looked at him full of enthusiasm, hoping that he could say more.

But Jing Yannian stopped talking, and focused on tasting the steamed cheese on the crimson jade plate.

"No more?" Xiao Yuzhuo frowned.

"I don't know how many beauties there are in the palace." Jing Yan shook his head with a young smile.

"Who asked you that?" Xiao Yuzhuo pouted, she really didn't know what to ask next.

But Jing Yannian put down the empty crimson jade plate and sat up straight, "Tomorrow I will go with King Ji to Mingjue Temple outside the city. King Ji will stay in the temple for a while. No matter how much you ask, it is better to see it with your own eyes." Look at each other."

When Xiao Yuzhuo heard this, his heart became hot, of course!
