There was a table of wine and food in an elegant small living room of the palace.

There are not many dishes, only seven or eight, but they are extremely exquisite, and they are all famous dishes from the imperial dining room.

The wine is fine grape wine sent as tribute from the Western Regions.

There were only three people sitting at the round table.

Ning Wang, Xiao Qiuyue, Huang Shaojie.

Prince Ning picked up the white jade wine glass and said, “Huang Baihu, I offer you three glasses of wine to thank you for saving Qiu Yue’s life twice.”

Huang Shaojie stood up and raised his glass, “Thank you, King Ning!”

After three glasses of wine.

King Ning asked: “I wonder which town and Fu department Huang Baihu serves?”

Huang Shaojie said: “Commander Ling will temporarily let me look at some cases in the general office. As for which subsidy department I will be assigned to in the future, it has not yet been decided.”

Prince Ning nodded slightly and said: “Huang Baihu has achieved the position of Jin Yiwei Baihu at such a young age. His future prospects are limitless.”

Huang Shaojie cupped his hands and said, “Prince Ning is too flattering!”

Xiao Qiuyue held the wine jar and filled Prince Ning and Huang Shaojie with wine.

After King Ning and Huang Shaojie drank a few more glasses of wine, King Ning asked, “I wonder if Huang Baihu has a house in the capital?”

Huang Shaojie said: “No, I’m staying in the inn for now.”

Prince Ning picked up the wine glass and said: “It is not suitable to live in an inn for a long time. I have several houses in the capital. If you don’t mind, choose one and consider it as my thanks for saving Qiu Yue!”

Huang Shaojie cupped his hands and said, “I accept the prince’s kindness. I also have some silver, so I can buy a small house by myself.”

If he accepted the house as a gift from Prince Ning, then his relationship with Prince Ning would be unclear.

If something happens to King Ning one day, I’m afraid he will also be implicated.

Seeing Huang Shaojie’s polite refusal, Prince Ning didn’t say anything more.

He smiled slightly and said, “Since Huang Baihu doesn’t want a house, I will give you one hundred thousand taels of silver so that you can buy a bigger house in the inner city.”

After saying that, he took out ten ten thousand taels of silver notes from his sleeve and put them on the table.

Huang Shaojie hurriedly pushed the banknote back and said, “Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I can’t bear it!”

Although sending banknotes would not be known to outsiders, Huang Shaojie still did not dare to accept Prince Ning’s benefits easily.

Even if this is a gift to thank you for saving Xiao Qiuyue, it is best not to accept it.

Now that he has just arrived in the capital, he must be more careful.

Don’t fall in line randomly.

Prince Ning was a man of great talent and intelligence, but Huang Shaojie was afraid that he would become Prince Ning’s pawn.

“Forget it!” Prince Ning put away the banknotes, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes.

A mansion in the capital and a hundred thousand taels of silver would make anyone’s heart flutter.

But in front of this young man, he was not moved at all.

This self-control alone is enough to show that this young man is not simple.

He held the cup and looked at Huang Shaojie, smiled slightly and said, “I wonder if Huang Baihu has a wife?”

Huang Shaojie said: “I haven’t married yet.”

King Ning asked again: “Is there someone you like?”

Huang Shaojie couldn’t help but look at Xiao Qiuyue, who happened to be eye-to-eye with Xiao Qiuyue. Xiao Qiuyue’s face was slightly red, and she hurriedly lowered her head and pretended to drink.

Huang Shaojie said to Prince Ning: “Can I not answer this question?”

Prince Ning laughed: “Since you don’t want to say it, I won’t force you. Come, drink.”

After drinking a few more glasses of wine and answering a few questions from Prince Ning, Huang Shaojie stood up and left.

“It’s getting late, so I won’t disturb the prince’s rest. Thank you for the banquet.”

Prince Ning nodded slightly: “Huang Baihu, go slowly. Qiuyue, send Huang Baihu out of the house.”

“Yes, Father.”

After leaving Pingxi Prince’s Mansion, Xiao Qiuyue asked: “What do you think of my adoptive father?”

Huang Shaojie said: “Prince Ning is elegant and suave, and does not stick to trivial matters. He does not give people a strong and oppressive aura like Commander Ling, but he has a calm and calm feeling as if a mountain is collapsing before his eyes. His eyes are calm and soft, but But he can easily understand people’s hearts. In short, Prince Ning gives me a more unpredictable feeling than Commander Ling.”

Xiao Qiuyue looked at him with a smile: “Your observation skills are very good. I have been my father’s daughter for almost twenty years, and I only know so much.”

Huang Shaojie stopped, touched his chin, turned around and asked Xiao Qiuyue: “Qiuyue, Prince Ning asked me if I have a crush. What does this mean?”

Xiao Qiuyue pursed her lips and smiled: “Ask me, how do I know my adoptive father’s thoughts? Maybe he wants to matchmaker for you?”

Huang Shaojie looked at her and teased: “Prince Ning doesn’t want to betroth his adopted daughter to me, does he?”

Xiao Qiuyue’s face turned red and she spat, “What a beautiful thought! Get lost, I’m going back home.”

After that, he turned around and walked back.

Huang Shaojie couldn’t help but smile as he watched her graceful back fading away in the night, and then walked towards the inn.

…….

After the third update.

One was wearing a black robe and a mask

A strange person suddenly appeared in Prince Pingxi’s palace like a ghost.

“who?”

A cold shout came, and four figures flew over and surrounded the man in black robe.

These four figures are the master guards in the mansion, all of whom are above the master level.

The man in the black robe and mask took out a token.

When the four master guards saw it, they all immediately retreated.

The man in the black robe and mask flashed again and disappeared like a ghost.

In an attic, a man in green clothes stood in front of the window with his hands behind his hands, looking at the thousands of lights of the imperial city.

The man in black robe and mask entered the attic silently like a ghost, and bowed at the back of the man in green.

The man in Tsing Yi said calmly without turning his head: “Ling Xiaotian transferred a young man from Suzhou. He is a genius. Do you know what to do?”

The black-robed mask said humanely: “I understand.”

The man in Tsing Yi said again: “Qiu Yue wants to stay in the capital, please make arrangements!”

The man in black robe and mask said respectfully: “Yes, Lord.”

The man in green didn’t speak any more, but waved slightly.

The man in black robe and mask flashed away and disappeared into the night.
