Fortunate Young Gentleman

Tang Ning pulled Zhao Man and trotted all the way to a certain street corner. She looked back and found that no official was chasing her.

The fishing rod was lost, but the fish he caught was still there. Tangning sighed and said, "Today's fishing was in vain again."

He thought about it carefully and realized that something was not right about what just happened. No one in Chu State knew him, let alone Zhao Man, and no one knew that he would sneak the princess out. There was no reason for him to do so. The assassin comes for you.

However, no matter who the targets of those assassins were, they were all beaten. It was useless to think about it. The fishing was disturbed and they had no choice but to go home.

Zhao Man was led by him, her hands clasped tightly, and she said with a flushed face: "It doesn't matter, you can do it another time."

It’s better not to go out fishing another day. The public security in Kyoto, Chu Kingdom, is extremely bad. There are actually assassinations on the street. It would be better to buy some fish and put them in the lake of Jinxiu Palace.

After their fishing failed, he and Zhao Man walked on the street, planning to go shopping before going back.

When passing by a bookstore, Tang Ning saw a sign erected at the door of the book store. The sign had a catalog of recent new books. Tang Ning just glanced at it casually and discovered a few familiar words such as "The Fairy Match" and "The Legend of the White Snake". .

Zhao Man was surprised: "Why are they sold here?"

Tangning stood at the door, looked at it, and said, "Go in and have a look."

At a certain moment, he was still guessing whether he was not the only one who walked out of that door, and there were others from the same place as him. But when he walked to the bookstore, he found that the author of these two books was also Tang Ningning.

In addition to "The Legend of the White Snake" and "The Immortal Match", books such as "The Peony Pavilion" and "The Romance of the West Chamber" are also placed in very conspicuous positions.

He picked up a book and read it. The content in the book was exactly the same as that in Tang Renzhai, and even the layout and cover were copied exactly.

It's a pity that this is not in Chen State, and there is no copyright law. Otherwise, these few books alone could make these unscrupulous pirated booksellers bankrupt.

"What kind of books do you want to buy?" A bookstore clerk came over and said, "Sir, you really have a good eye. These books in your hand are the most popular ones in our store in recent days. It is said that they are from Chen Guo. Even Her Royal Highness the Princess likes the work of the Three-Yuan Number One Scholar. If you had come a day later, everything would have been sold out..."

Tangning raised her eyebrows: "Princess Princess?"

The clerk said: "My guest doesn't know that every time a batch of his new books are sold in the store, the princess will come to buy them in person. In addition to the princess, the ladies from the princes and noble families in the city also like these very much."

Tangning was not interested in those princes and ladies and asked, "Which princess?"

The clerk looked at him, scratched his head and said: "Your Majesty, is there any other princess in Kyoto? Of course I am talking about Princess Changning. Yesterday, His Highness the Princess came here to ask if there were any new books. …”

Tang Ning frowned and asked, "Didn't Princess Changning go on a long trip?"

"Your Majesty, you are joking." The waiter smiled and said, "I just saw the princess passing by here. I don't know where your Majesty heard the rumor."

It seemed that someone in Prince Xin's Mansion really didn't want him to see Li Tianlan, so they made up a random reason to fool him.

Now things are a bit difficult to handle. If the person behind the scenes is King Xin, there is nothing that the other party can't do in Chu State. He can't even enter King Xin's palace.

Unless he was guarding the door of Prince Xin's Mansion, but he was not so free. Fortunately, he already knew that she was in Kyoto, so he didn't have to worry about not having a chance to see her.

He put down the books in his hands, looked at Zhao Man, and said, "Go back."

This matter is not urgent. They will stay in Chu State for a long time, and the future is long.

Returning to Jinxiu Palace, before reaching the door of Zhao Man's bedroom, he saw several envoys wandering in front of his door with anxious expressions on their faces.

Seeing him coming back, He Rui immediately came over and said, "Master Tang, you are back, something big has happened!"

"You go back first." Tang Ning said to Zhao Man, then looked at He Rui and asked, "Master He, what happened?"

He Rui said: "The Wanyan Ministry sent envoys to Beijing. They just arrived an hour ago, and Chu State has already sent people to receive them."

"Wanyan Department?" Tangning was startled when he heard this. Grassland and Chen and Chu have always been incompatible and have never established diplomatic relations. Why did they send envoys here?

He looked at He Rui and asked, "Do you know their purpose?"

"We don't know yet." He Rui shook his head and said, "But we just arrived yesterday, and they entered the city today. They must be evil..."

The alliance strategy between Chen and Chu directly curbed the expansion of the Wanyan tribe, and now they want to marry each other. The purpose is self-evident. It seems that even as powerful as the Wanyan tribe, under such circumstances, there are some Can't sit still.

We don't know their purpose yet, so we can't talk about countermeasures. Tangning thought for a while and said, "Let's just wait and see what happens."

Letter to the palace.

In the study, a person looked at King Xin and said, "My lord, you must put your own safety first and stop fooling around. Today I almost..."

King Xin waved his hand and said: "Okay, I will inform you if I want to go out next time."

He walked to the desk, sat down, opened a brochure, and suddenly looked to another part of the room, asking: "The day after tomorrow, the court will hold a wedding banquet for Princess Chen and the envoy. Do you want to go with her? ?”

Li Tianlan shook his head and said, "I'm not going."

King Xin shook his head and said, "That's strange. Aren't you most concerned about the news about Chen Guo?"

Without waiting for Li Tianlan to answer, he waved his hand and said, "If you don't want to go, just don't go. It's not interesting anyway. If there wasn't anyone in the royal family in the capital, I wouldn't bother to go..."

Li Tianlan walked out of the room, and soon someone hurried in, clasping his fists and saying: "Your Majesty, Prairie, the messenger from Prairie is here."

"Oh?" King Xin put down the book, his casual temperament changed, he tapped the table with his index finger and said, "Is Wanyanbu finally unable to sit still?"

Prince's Mansion.

The prince of Chu looked ugly and asked, "Are they serious about not being friends with each other?"

Prince Zhan Shi nodded and said: "Your Highness, according to the Chen State's wedding envoy, the man who beat the Prince has been sent back. This must be just an excuse for them to deal with us. This person simply does not take Your Highness seriously." inside!"

Snapped!

The prince of Chu State slapped his palm on the table and said gloomily: "They thought this was their Chen State!"

Prince Zhan Shi raised his head and asked: "Your Highness, they are envoys after all. If there is any action in the East Palace, the imperial court may not be able to pass."

"What's wrong with the envoy?" The prince of Chu clenched his fists and said angrily: "I am the prince and the future emperor. Who of those old people think that I am the prince or the heir apparent? In their eyes, I am the prince." , not as important as Chen Guo’s envoy!”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone came forward to report: "The envoy from the Wanyan Department wants to see you."

The Crown Prince of Chu frowned and asked, "Wanyan Department?"

A man came forward and said: "Your Highness, the grassland people have sent an envoy to visit, and they have arrived in the capital today."

The Prince of Chu looked outside and asked, "What are they doing in the Prince's Mansion?"

Prince Zhan Shi took a step forward and said, "Your Highness, you might as well let them in and ask them."

After a while, several figures walked into the hall. A middle-aged woman at the front cupped her hands and said, "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

The Crown Prince of Chu glanced at her and said, "There really is no one on the grassland, and they actually sent a woman out..."

The middle-aged woman looked up at him and said: "The grassland is barren. It is not as vast as Chu State. It has many talents. In addition to the benevolent Emperor, there is also the wise and powerful King Xin, who is famous even in the most remote areas on the grassland. In the corner, you can often hear his name..."

The Crown Prince of Chu seemed to have been touched, with a look of fury on his face. He stared at the woman and said, "What did you say?"
