Rebirth of the Splendid Phoenix

Chapter 106 Meeting Princess Yong'an Again
Tianxiang Garden occupies a very large area. From the entrance gate to the inside, you can't see the end at a glance. The gentry and nobles come and go.

The garden is full of beautiful scenery and a hundred flowers are blooming, and the ladies are amazed and lingering.

There are only unexpected things, and there is nothing impossible to do. In the capital where every inch of land is expensive, such a building can be erected. It is indeed because there are people behind it, and it is not a small backstage.

Looking at the hustle and bustle in the garden and the way people come and go, Xie Jinhua couldn't help guessing the background behind Tianxiang Garden.

Bai Lixiu next to Xie Jinhua couldn't help but look around. She used to stay at home mostly and didn't go out often. When she went out, she just went out to burn incense. She had never seen this before.

A handsome boy came over and asked the two of them where they wanted to go.

Xie Jinhua asked Lily to give the other party a silver coin, and asked him to prepare a box for the two of them: "I think the throwing scene is very interesting, and please prepare a place for the two of us to watch."

The young man took the silver coins, smiled and led the two of them to the box on the second floor: "Although you only need a post to come to Xiangyuan today, you need to book in advance for the box. The second floor is the best place to watch the pitching pot." The seats have always been in short supply, the two ladies came by coincidence, and a guest just quit the box. Otherwise, even if the villain intends to earn the rewards from the ladies, he would have no chance, isn't this the right time."

The young man's words were not very flattering, but it made people listen comfortably, and he couldn't blame Tianxiangyuan for being so popular.

When Xie Jinhua tasted the snacks on the table, drank the prepared tea, and watched the exciting pot-throwing competition below, she didn't have much interest in exploring who was behind Tianxiangyuan.

This place is so well made that anyone who comes here will enjoy it. She hasn't been so relaxed for a long time, why not let go and enjoy it?

"Thank you sister, this pastry is really delicious. I have never eaten such a delicious pastry."

Bailixiu couldn't help admiring, and then ate another piece.

Not to mention Bailixiu's short-sightedness, the tea and snacks here are really excellent.

Xie Jinhua is the one who has been with King Qi for so many years, has been a princess, and almost ascended to the queen's position. She has experienced more than twice as much as Bailixiu, and even the tea and snacks she just ate They all thought it was done very well, not to mention Baili Embroidery.

Xie Jinhua smiled, and was about to talk to Bailixiu when a sneering voice came from outside: "Just a little bit of my son's snacks and tea makes me feel so much better, as if I haven't eaten good food in ten lifetimes. It really made me see, I don’t know which lady is inside?”

While speaking, the sound of the door being pushed sounded.

"Miss, this lady, there are really people inside."

The boy who brought Xie Jinhua and Bailixiu into the box just now was pushed in first, staggered a bit, and tried to block the door with his hands, but unfortunately he couldn't stop the really arrogant person at all.

"What are you, get out!"

With a cold reprimand, the boy was pushed aside, and he kept trying to dissuade him, but unfortunately no one paid any attention to him.

"This is the box we booked first. How dare you give the box to someone else. You are still some ignorant and despicable people."

Bai Lixiu's complexion paled instantly, and then turned red, as if wishing there was a crack in the ground to get in, and hurriedly put the pastry in her hand on the table.

Xie Jinhua's eyes turned cold, and he pressed Bailixiu's hand to stop her from putting the pastries on the table.

"Sister Xiu'er, this pastry is really good. Otherwise, why would so many people come to Tianxiang Garden to hold a banquet? It really deserves its reputation. Come, eat more."

While talking, she also picked up a piece of pastry from the side, put one hand on her chin lightly, and bit down, narrowing her eyes slightly, as if she was extremely happy.

There are so many people coming and going in Tianxiang Tower, there are many dignitaries, relatives of the emperor, and a word from the other party can overturn a whole boat of people.

The person at the door thought the voice was a bit familiar, but after pushing the boy away completely, he could see clearly the person sitting in the box.

She was a little stunned, obviously she didn't think that the person sitting inside was Xie Jinhua, let alone that she was laughing like that, Xie Jinhua's reaction was this, she stood there for a while and didn't speak for a long time.

If Xie Jinhua spoke sneeringly or angrily retorted with her directly, she would find ways to make Xie Jinhua suffer, but instead she treated her as if she didn't exist, which made her lose face.

"Princess?"

A woman chased after Princess Yong'an: "Princess, you don't need to prepare a special box for the courtiers, as long as the courtiers are below."

That was actually an acquaintance.

Xie Jinhua looked at the person who appeared next to Princess Yong'an, but it was Xu Yanran, the niece of Xuzhou Prefecture who was escorted into the capital by Zhuquewei halfway.

Obviously, Xu Yanran did not expect to see Xie Jinhua here, and was taken aback for a moment.

Princess Yong'an over there has recovered her senses. She pretended that the stiffness just now did not exist, and held her head high: "If you are uneducated, you are uneducated. Princess, don't you know how to salute now?"

Bai Lixiu was at a loss at first, but Xie Jinhua asked her to eat cakes, and she continued to eat cakes stiffly.

She just subconsciously obeyed Xie Jinhua's words.

When she heard Princess Yong'an's words at the door, she was frightened and looked at Xie Jinhua nervously.

"Princess?"

Xie Jinhua laughed, and Shi Shiran put down the pastry in his hand.

"Ms. Xie Jinhua, Bailixiu has met the princess before, but why does the princess only take one person with her when she travels? Isn't it against the rules of the palace?"

Xie Jinhua could tell at a glance that although Princess Yong'an was dressed exquisitely, she was just dressed like an ordinary lady.

Princess Yong'an has always paid attention to the ostentation of the princess, and her dress has always been extravagant. She wished that everyone would know her dignity when she saw her. How could it be the same as now, and when she saw that the other party was only accompanied by Xu Yanran who didn't know what to do? , must have concealed his identity.

There must be something to hide.

Princess Yong'an's heart skipped a beat when Xie Jin drew a half-true and half-fake tease. Thinking of what she was doing here, she calmed down the anger and jealousy in her heart, and said calmly, "Do I know more about the rules in the palace or do I know more about the rules in the palace?" How much do you know? Does the princess have to inform you when she comes out to visit the garden?"

Said this sentence in a lukewarm manner, and then drew his chin towards Xie Jin: "I booked this private room earlier, but I just left for a while because of business, but I didn't expect it to be given to you by a dog slave without authorization. Miss Xie and Is this Miss Baili giving up? I'll pay you some money and rent another room for you."

These words are like sending a servant, with aloofness.

Bailixiu blushed and stood up abruptly.

Even if the other party is a princess, she can't treat herself and Xie Jinhua like this.

One of the two is the lady of the Shangshu family, the county head appointed by the emperor himself, and the other is also the daughter of the general's family.

If they were dismissed with two words by Princess Yong'an, who was already ignorant, or such two words without the slightest respect, then not only the two of them would be ashamed, but also the Xie family and the Baili family.

Bai Lixiu is timid, but it doesn't mean she is timid, otherwise, when she first met Xie Jinhua, she would not have given her name to herself in order not to be humiliated.

Xie Jinhua took Bailixiu's hand: "Sister Xiu'er, it's exciting down here, come on, take a look at that one over there, the skill is really superb."

It was as if Princess Yong'an didn't exist, pulling Bai Lixiu to guide the pot throwing competition below.

Below is a young man, with a screen in front of him, completely blocking his sight, but the throwing pot is behind the screen.

The opponent has already hit three arrows.

Just about to cast the fourth one, the small mouth of the pot was almost filled, and there was only one gap left.

Many people watched intently, and more people began to throw money.

This is also possible to gamble, just bet on whether the last one will hit or not.

In an instant, a hundred or ten people had called for the amount, the least one was a hundred and ten taels, and the most bet a lottery of 1 taels.

Most of them are gambles.

The atmosphere at the scene became tense.

Bailixiu couldn't help but look at it intently.

Xie Jinhua turned his head and slightly hooked his lips to Princess Yong'an who didn't know how to go down there: "If your highness wants to see the pot, you can sit here. If not, I'm afraid I won't have time to entertain you."

It is clearly the attitude of the master.

Xu Yanran frowned, not understanding how Xie Jinhua dared to treat the dignified princess with such an attitude.

She turned to look at Princess Yong'an.

I thought Princess Yong'an would get angry on the spot.

Princess Yong'an clenched her fists and walked towards Xie Jinhua.

Sit down beside her.

Xie Jinhua became more and more puzzled, Princess Yong'an is not a forbearing character.

She went out of the palace quietly in disguise again, and she was so patient. It seemed that Princess Yong'an really had something important to do when she came here.

Maybe even more secretive than you think.

"Xie Jinhua, do you dare to take a gamble with me to see if that person is hit or not?"

Xie Jinhua didn't make a sound.

Princess Yong'an's eyes fell on the field below, the opponent's fourth arrow had almost entered the throwing pot, and the fifth arrow was in his hand, but the gap in the pot was barely visible.

If there was no screen, the young man would probably be able to hit the shot, but with a screen added, the opponent turned around to use a rear shot, which really wiped out all the possibilities of hitting.

"1 taels, I won't win the bet."

Princess Yong'an looked sideways at Xie Jinhua, with malicious provocation in her eyes.

All the bets were missed, and even the few who won the bet were less than 100 taels.

Bailixiu held Xie Jinhua's hand tightly, her eyes were full of worry and resistance.

I'm afraid that Xie Jin will be fooled by Princess Yong'an.

"1 taels, I won the bet."

Xie Jinhua said softly to the servant who had stood up and stood at a loss.

A triumphant smile appeared on Princess Yong'an's face.

Bai Lixiu couldn't hold back anymore and said, "Sister Xie, we actually didn't bring so much money here."

Even if you are angry, you can't be fooled by Princess Yong'an.

"I can borrow a thing or two. Miss Xie will never renege on her current status as the county lord."

Princess Yong'an smiled even more proudly.

The boy wrote down the betting chips in this box, and no one won the bet, and the arrow in the young man's hand below was thrown out.

With a whoosh sound, the wooden arrow was stabbed through the middle of the four long arrows, trembling, but hit the target.

There was an uproar at the scene, and Princess Yong'an got up angrily: "It is impossible to win, it must be a fake."

She was going to find someone to reason with, and those who lost the bet also stood up one after another to find someone to reason with, and no one believed the result.

Xie Jinhua was originally looking for a good show, but when she caught sight of a few glares of light from the crowd below out of the corner of her eye, her complexion changed: "Get away!"

Xie Jinhua grabbed Princess Yong'an violently, threw her to the ground, kicked one foot on the leg of the table fiercely, and the table stood upright, just blocking the window.

There were several aggressive sounds of sharp weapons piercing wood.

If Princess Yong'an was still standing there, she would have become a hedgehog just now.

"Get out of here!"

Xie Jinhua let go of Princess Yong'an, pulled up Bailixiu and ran outside.
