"Do you know what the eldest lady summoned me for?" Halfway through the journey, Tang Xiao asked anxiously. He has not even seen the eldest lady a few times. It is impossible for the eldest lady to know whether it is a blessing or a curse. .
"You will know when you get there, but it shouldn't be a bad thing." The maid smiled and said to Tang Xiao.
Not a bad thing
Tang Xiao felt slightly relieved, but thinking about the fact that he had spent a medium-grade spiritual stone to buy a pound of rice, his heart started to rise again. With uneasiness in his heart, he had already walked to the princess's house without knowing it.
"Princess, Tang is laughing."
As the door of the room was opened, Tang Xiao finally saw Yang Zhiyun sitting in the room. She was not wearing makeup, but she still looked like a fairy who did not eat the fireworks of the world, which made him feel ashamed.
"Princess." Tang Xiao bowed his head and saluted Yang Zhiyun.
"I heard that you bought a bag of rice at a high price two days ago. Is this true?" Yang Zhiyun asked in a calm tone without raising her head.
Tang Xiao's heart convulsed and a wry smile appeared on his face. Originally, this was just a trivial matter and there was no way it would reach the ears of the princess. It seems that the news has been too loud recently, so the princess noticed it. Most likely, he came to settle accounts with me. .
"That's right." Tang Xiao gritted his teeth and continued, "Although the villain bought it at a high price, after I came back, I consciously paid the difference to the county prince's palace. I definitely didn't take the money for myself."
"Then why did you buy that kind of rice at a high price?" Yang Zhiyun asked curiously.
"This rice is sold by my brother. I saw that his business was deserted, so I decided to help." Tang Xiao explained.
"Your brother?" Yang Zhiyun raised her eyes slightly. Since he is his brother, maybe Tang Xiao can know the origin of the rice.
"Yes, he turned out to be a handyman in the county prince's palace, but he just left a few days ago."
"Are you talking about Su Yu?" Yang Zhiyun asked with a raised brow.
A bitter smile appeared on Tang Xiao's face and he nodded helplessly. Unexpectedly, Yang Zhiyun still remembered Su Yu. How could a county princess remember the name of a handyman? Could it be that it was the county princess who wanted to chase Su Yu away as the rumors said? Going out of the house
"Then do you know the origin of this rice?"
"I don't know, but Su Yu is an upright man and there will definitely be no problem with the rice."
"Okay, please step back. I will go to the market with you tomorrow." Yang Zhiyun's words made Tang Xiao's body stiffen, and he raised his head in surprise, and then said in a sincere voice: "Princess, everyone loves beauty. In fact, although Su Yu's previous behavior was a bit unrestrained, the princess had already kicked him out of the house and asked the princess to be lenient and let him live. "
Tang Xiao looked anxious, fearing that Yang Zhiyun was going to cause trouble for Su Yu.
Yang Zhiyun waved her hand, "You are really affectionate and righteous to him. Don't worry. I'm not going to embarrass him this time. Please step back."
Tang Xiao felt uneasy, but he did not dare to disobey the order and could only retreat worriedly.
After Tang Xiao left, Yang Zhiyun once again cast her eyes on the table. In front of her was a piece of white paper with a message:
"Phoenix Seeking Phoenix"
There is a beautiful woman. I will never forget her when I see her. Not seeing you for a day makes me miss you like crazy.
The phoenix is soaring, and the phoenix is begging for it from all over the world. Unfortunately, the beauty is not on the east wall.
Use the qin to express your words, and write your heartfelt chats. When will I see Xu Xi, I will comfort my hesitation.
Wish to match virtue, hand in hand. If I can't fly, I will perish.
Her eyes were a little blurry, and she murmured: "This Su Yu is a strange man, with extraordinary literary talent, and he has that kind of rice. No wonder he wants to leave the county prince's palace."
…
The next day, early morning.
Bai Xiaoya finished dressing up, put on her veil and went out with Bai Xiaolong. Bai Mansion is located in the urban area of Dongzhou County. When you go out, you can see the lively streets with busy traffic and people.
She knows what kind of sensation her appearance can bring, so she always covers her face with a veil when going out to avoid unnecessary trouble.
It was early in the morning, and the two of them were walking in the market. Both sides of the market were filled with vendors selling breakfast. Various aromas were mixed and wafted in the air. However, the two of them walked straight through the block without even looking at it. , turned several corners and walked towards the market.
"Sister, we're here. The man who set up his stall was here yesterday." Bai Xiaolong said, but his voice was disappointed. You could see that the place was still empty, and it was obvious that Su Yu hadn't come over yet.
"Let's wait." Bai Xiaoya said with a hollow voice and a calm tone. But soon, she frowned and looked to the other side of the market. There were people there, and it was very exciting, as if something big had happened. , and the center of the sensation is approaching here.
Soon, Yang Zhiyun's stunning face appeared in front of Bai Xiaoya. She was surrounded by countless admirers, including the young masters of Dongzhou County. Although she only had Tang Xiao as a guard, there was no one around her. He dared to get even half a foot closer to her, with an arrogant look on his face, as if everyone was holding the moon in their arms.
As the princess of the county prince's palace, Yang Zhiyun's background goes without saying. She doesn't need to wear a veil like Bai Xiaoya, and her behavior is much more high-profile, so she doesn't need to worry too much.
"Eh? Isn't this the arty Mr. Bai? Why do you have time to come here today instead of going to the Wenqing Academy to recite poems?"
The voice was so frivolous that Bai Xiaolong's face darkened and he looked over.
Dressed in a green outfit, with a face like a jade, a rare short cut of hair, a blue ribbon tied around his waist, and sharp eyes, his appearance alone gives people an extremely fierce feeling, and he is obviously dressed as a warrior.
Dongzhou County, Wu Changkong, a direct descendant of the Wu family, one of the three major families in Dongzhou. Unlike Bai Xiaolong, Wu Changkong's reputation is extremely famous in Dongzhou County. His martial arts talent is second to none in Dongzhou County, and his reputation is far behind that of Bai Xiaolong. superior.
Moreover, even though he always looks like a martial artist, his intelligence cannot be underestimated.
The so-called Wenqingyuan is the only academy in Dongzhou County. It is also a place where the so-called celebrities in Dongzhou County can show off their talents. These so-called "rich men" often use spiritual stones as bets to recite poems and write poems in the Wenqingyuan. , at the same time, the Youth Academy also has an arena, which is an excellent place to make friends through literature and martial arts.
Bai Xiaolong's incompetence in literature and martial arts was considered a joke in the Youth Academy, and the empty words of the martial arts commander were full of irony.
"Wu Changkong, your control is too lenient." Bai Xiaolong's voice was low.
"Oh, no wonder, it turns out that Mr. Bai actually brought a beauty out..." Wu Changkong looked at Bai Xiaoya frivolously, but his expression soon became condensed and his pupils quickly expanded.
"Miss Bai." He clasped his hands and said, "I did not intend to offend Miss Bai just now. Please forgive me."
He never expected that Bai Xiaoya, who had always lived in seclusion and rarely went out, would come to the market, and it seemed that she had the same purpose as the princess. He couldn't help but look back at Yang Zhiyun. These two people were unexpectedly here. And for what purpose...
