marry the princess

Chapter 23 Ling Feng
In recent days, the Fourteenth Prince's Mansion has become busy.

Ever since she came back from the General's Mansion, Su Leyan was a little worried. Qingyue brought her some herbal tea to relieve the heat, "Is Miss nervous about entering the palace?"

Su Leyan was a little absent-minded, but still looked out of the window with her chin in her hands, "Will you be...wait a minute?" Su Leyan fell from her hands, with a surprised expression on her face, "What did you just say?... Come on, Entering the palace?!"

Qingyue put away the tea set, and replied: "The mansion has been a little busy these days, and I also heard from other servants that the reunion festival is approaching, and the Empress Dowager Chengyuan held a banquet in the palace, and invited all the princes to taste wine together Enjoying the moon. I also heard that because the fourteenth prince married a new concubine, the Empress Dowager Chengyuan has always wanted to see her, but was delayed because of some accidents a while ago, and has never summoned the prince and lady to the palace to pay a visit. You have to take a good look at the new concubine of the Fourteenth Prince."

Su Leyan's worry just now turned into nervousness.

In Mo Yixuan of the Wangfu, Wei Lie was presenting the secret letter to Murong Huayi. After Murong Huayi opened it and glanced at it, he immediately got up, "Prepare the horse."

The horse neighed, and with the clatter of the horse's hooves, Murong Huayi rode Juechen to the Fengyu Tower by the edge of Ranmo Lake on the outskirts of the city.

"Besides me, Ling Feng, the fourteenth prince of Moxuan who can come here in such a hurry, I don't know if there is a second choice?"

On the roof of the Fengyu Building, a young man in white clothes like snow stands facing the wind, graceful and dusty, holding a brown rough clay wine jug in his left hand, looking at Murong Hua who has rolled over and got off his horse with a pair of peach blossom eyes, he joked with a smile: .

The entire Wind and Rain Building has been taken down by Ling Feng, and there is no one else except the shopkeeper and a few servants in the running hall. Murong Huayi handed the reins to the servant who came up from Xiao Pao, and climbed up the second floor directly along the wooden ladder. On the first floor, Ling Feng also jumped onto the open-air platform on the second floor with the jug in hand, half leaning on the railing, raised his hand, raised his head and drank the wine in the jug, dropped the jug heartily, and then looked at Murong Huayi who appeared at the wooden stairs said, "You are late, the good wine is gone."

There was a faint scent of wine in the air, but not everyone was an alcoholic like Ling Feng. Just by smelling it, one would know that the wine was made from tea fruit, which is a rare and fine wine. He Ling Feng There is no other pursuit in life, but to drink all the best wine in the world, and I have no complaints or regrets in my dreams.It just so happens that he has nothing else to ask for in his life, he likes wine, and it is very easy for Murong Huayi to deal with him. With his power, it is not difficult to collect the world's best wine, and he is close to the water as a prince. There are also many good wines in the palace, and Ling Feng is cheaper by the way.

"Good wine will never be gone." Murong Huayi stepped forward, "As long as you want it, this king will definitely offer it with both hands."

Ling Feng squinted her slender peach eyes, and smiled narrowly, "Is this son worthy of the prince?"

"The information in your hands is worth it." Murong Huayi didn't talk nonsense with him, "How is the matter you are asked to do?"

Ling Feng shrugged, "You have asked me to do too many things recently, and you just came back from the western region and you threw me such a hot potato. If it weren't for the sake of the half jar of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, it would be you Please, I don't want to go to such a trouble to inquire about the matter of the Seventh Prince."

"If it's not a difficult matter, I don't need to invite you."

This sentence was very useful to Ling Feng, he nodded in satisfaction, and just after the tea, his lips with translucent luster were raised with a smile, "I have already figured out what you asked me to inquire about. "

"On the day the prince and concubine were attacked, the Seventh Prince and His Highness the Ninth Prince booked the entire Fengqing Opera Garden to watch a play. They performed several new plays and also performed a few old-fashioned plays. It’s not long in the queue, and no one has ever watched it. It’s naturally novel and exciting, and I don’t know how many times the old-fashioned show has been staged.

"...The king wants to hear the key points."

Ling Feng was slightly dissatisfied with Murong Huayi's interruption, "When did I, Ling Feng, talk nonsense?"

……all the time.

Murong Huayi was silent, and Ling Feng continued, "The problem is between the arrangement of this new play and the old play. After watching a new play, an old play was staged in the theater, and His Highness the Nine During the process of watching the play, I felt tired."

Murong Huayi frowned slightly.

"During this boring old drama, His Highness the Ninth Prince took a nap, and when he woke up, the two quarter hour long boring old drama had just ended." Ling Feng shook her head helplessly, "I said This Ninth Highness is also true, if he keeps his eyes open all the time, the Seventh Prince will naturally not go all the way to Xianzi Tower to watch the excitement."

"Two quarters of an hour is not enough time to go back and forth between Fengqing Opera Garden and Xianzi Tower." Murong Huayi reminded him.

"That's why we need to add something else to His Highness Ninth Prince's tea." Ling Feng disagreed.

Murong Huayi smiled calmly, he already understood what he said so far, so he didn't need to explain further, he believed in Ling Feng's methods and results.

"By the way, I have a piece of information for you this time." Ling Feng raised his eyes and continued slowly, "The salt merchant who invited Mo Niang by name that day was a member of the Seventh Prince, and Mo Niang will appear in Xianzilou Here, it is also the masterpiece of the Seventh Prince."

Murong Huayi raised his hand, "Lingfeng never gives extra gifts when doing things, half a jar of sweet-scented osmanthus wine is worth so much..."

"If the lord is sorry, I also heard that there is a kind of good wine called sea coconut wine in the East China Sea..." Ling Feng licked her lips greedily, as if the good wine was right in front of her eyes, "If the lord gives you a generous gift, Ling Feng deserves it of."

"If that's the case, a jar of sea coconut wine will be exchanged for you to keep Mo Niang safe."

Ling Feng stopped smacking her lips, "My lord was joking, how could Ling Feng accept the task of protecting women."

"If I'm not wrong, this assassination was arranged by the Seventh Prince. He led everything to Mo Niang, and naturally he wanted to lead it to me. If Mo Niang was implicated in the eyes of the Ministry of Punishment, the result would be nothing more than Two, one is that Mo Niang is loyal to me, so she cut off the clues, and the matter is over; the other is to use Mo Niang's mouth to confess to the king. Naturally, the first of these two results is beneficial to the king, but no matter which one As a result, Mo Niang will definitely die."

Ling Feng still looked indifferent, jumped on the railing and sat, shaking his long legs leisurely, "Then why doesn't the prince want the third ending, bringing this matter back to the seventh prince?"

Murong Huayi stood with his hands behind his back and stood motionless, "The third ending is best to save Mo Niang's life and classify this matter as an unsolved case, there is absolutely no way to fight back."

Ling Feng was thoughtful, "Therefore, the crux of the problem is Mo Niang alone. You want her to be safe and sound, you don't want to implicate her, and you don't want to abandon her as a bait." Ling Feng admired Murong Huayi's human touch, While regretting, "If you are willing to let Mo Niang be an abandoned son, I have a way to make Seventh Prince lose a fortune."

"Would you like to protect Mo Niang?"

Ling Feng jumped up and stood on the railing that was only as thick as the mouth of a bowl, smiling brightly, "My lord, you'd better leave the good thing of being a hero to protect the beauty to others, even if you bring ten jars of fine wine, I won't go Provoke women. Women, women can't be messed with, it's troublesome."

After sighing, Ling Feng's figure flashed past the railing like a ray of light, going faster than the wind.

The only one who dared to blatantly reject Murong Huayi's request and put him down first, was Ling Feng, an alcoholic who was addicted to alcohol.

Hurrying back to the palace, Murong Huayi had just stepped into the gate of the palace when Wei Lie rushed to the front.

"What happened?" Murong Huayi was thinking about how to solve Mo Niang's matter, and Wei Lie came here in such a hurry that he felt a little bit overwhelmed, there are always so many messes waiting for him.

"Wangfei's side..."

During the period when Murong Huayi was out of the house, Su Leyan became anxious because she learned that she would attend the palace banquet with Murong Huayi in the near future. Zuo squeezed his little hands and walked back and forth, making Qingyue and Xiaoyou dazzled.

"Princess, sit down and have a rest first. You've been walking around for a long time, and Xiaoyou feels tired." Xiaoyou persuaded her, but Su Leyan stood up again in less than a blink of an eye. Started walking up and down again.

"Miss, I brought you soothing soup, would you like some?"

Qingyue was standing on the side holding a white porcelain bowl, but Su Leyan couldn't stop herself, it was hopeless for her to take a bowl of calming soup.

"Is this really true? Did the prince say it himself?" Su Leyan asked this question several times. If Qingyue had known that she would be so worried, she would never have said that much. There is still some time before entering the palace. If Su Leyan Being so anxious every day is a pain in the ass.

"Miss, don't worry, it's just a palace banquet, everything is arranged by the prince, so you don't have to worry about it." Qingyue finally had to put down the soothing soup, "Miss just needs to be by the prince's side, but the palace is really no better than the general's mansion." With the prince's mansion, every action is extremely disciplined, as long as the lady listens to the prince's arrangements, nothing will go wrong..."

Qingyue's reassurance finally calmed Su Leyan down a bit. In order to prevent her from becoming quiet and worrying about her wild thoughts, Xiaoyou proposed to go for a walk.Just after they walked out of the Shuixin Pavilion, a white puppy barked from nowhere. Fortunately, the puppy was small and not threatening. After walking around for a while, a seven or eight-year-old dog appeared. The children on the left and right came running in a hurry, screaming while running, "Mice, mice..."

"Where did the child come from, why are you so unruly!" Xiaoyou put on a straight face and reprimanded, "Do you know the consequences for disturbing the princess?!"

The little boy was so frightened by the severe reprimand that he couldn't move his feet, so he stopped at a place five steps away from them, timidly tugging at the hem of his clothes, quietly raising his small eyes to look this way, neither daring to step forward nor step back.On the contrary, the dog named "Mouse" happily ran away from them after hearing his call, and ran up to the little boy's footsteps, purring and rubbing affectionately.

"Xiaoyou, don't get in the way." Su Leyan saw the child was petrified, walked to the front, looked at the little boy and asked softly, "Which family are you from?"

The little boy still stood there shyly and motionless, but Su Leyan was extremely gentle. He was not as scared as before. He raised his eyes and looked at Su Leyan, "My grandfather is the steward Li of the palace. I came here to look for mice. Mice eat Running around in excitement."

At this moment, the dog that had eaten too much and ran around was happily arching the little boy's legs.

"This puppy is called a mouse?"

"Because the mouse was very thin when it was born, like a little mouse." The little boy explained seriously.

Su Leyan has been a Shushu teacher in Caoluotang for many years, and she has a different kind of intimacy when dealing with children. At first, Xiaoyou was anxious to let the little boy and the dog leave, but Qingyue made a stop Move, "Miss's mood is much more stable now, isn't it that we let Miss come out for a walk so that Miss will no longer worry about entering the palace?"

So, with this little boy and this puppy called Mouse, Su Leyan's anxiety symptoms disappeared.This child reminded Su Leyan of the children in the school, and then she couldn't help being a little sad when she thought that those innocent children were in danger at any time because of herself.
