Gu Mingxi was chatting with Master Ling Ji about some trivial matters while walking towards the small courtyard where he was staying temporarily. When he walked to the front of the courtyard, he found that the courtyard next door was very lively with people coming and going.
"Master, who lives here?" Mingxi asked doubtfully. There was no one living here when she came a few days ago.
"It's Prince Ye of Prince Rong's Mansion. I heard that he was very angry when he saw that his cricket basin was not as good as others when he was fighting crickets with others. I heard that the cricket basin in Gusu Lu Tomb was the most famous, so I came to look for the best one in person. of."
Master Liaoji said in a calm tone, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing. He looked up to him because he was the prince, but he did not look down on him because he was uneducated and incompetent.
After all, Master Liaoji is an eminent monk, and Gu Mingxi naturally cannot compare with him, so when Gu Mingxi heard the news, he was particularly displeased with Chu Luoye.
What the Queen Mother loved most during her lifetime was Chu Luoye, her direct grandson. Now the Queen Mother can only be buried here silently, but her grandson only thinks about how to have fun with chickens and lackeys. This makes Gu Mingxi very upset. .
Gu Mingxi couldn't help curling his lips, "It's a cricket basin in the tomb, right?" Don't worry, we will definitely give you the best.
"Master, Che has to go to the city for some things. Master, would you like Che to bring something back with you?" Gu Mingxi asked Ji Dao humbly and politely without showing any of the bad ideas in his heart.
"I don't need anything. Young Master, please feel free to attend to your own affairs."
Gu Mingxi was familiar with Liao Ji, so he was not too polite. After a few words, he walked out of the temple.
Gu Mingxi rode a horse to a beautifully decorated antique store in the city. It was the store of Xueshe Chamber of Commerce. As soon as he entered the store, he was noticed by the waiter who saw him. The waiter immediately showed a surprised expression, "Sir, how come you have Are you here?"
"I'm here in Gusu to do something, and stop by to take a look." Gu Mingxi said, still maintaining his cool image.
When Gu Mingxi returned to the temple, she first carried the top-grade Junshan Silver Needle she had brought from the teahouse to Master Ji's yard. She told the master that she would set off before dawn in order to make the journey, and asked the master to bring incense, candles, melons and fruits tomorrow morning. Go and pay homage to your ancestors on your behalf.
After that, Gu Mingxi took the cricket basin from Lu Tomb and some hidden weapons to Houshan Taoyuan.
At this time, the antique shop in Gusu welcomed a distinguished customer. As soon as Prince Rong's crown prince Chu Luoye entered the door, he asked the waiter to take out the cricket basin from the Lu Tomb. However, the waiter informed him that a pilgrim from Hanshan Temple had arrived in advance. Bought the cricket pot from Lu Tomb.
Chu Luoye shook the folding fan and showed a dandy smile, "I haven't been able to get what I want. Let's go back to Hanshan Temple."
Not long after he walked into Hanshan Temple, a hidden weapon suddenly flew past Chu Luoye's eyes. Chu Luoye just watched the hidden weapon flying in front of him without any movement. When the hidden weapon was about to hit Chu Luoye , the follower beside him caught the hidden weapon with quick eyes and hands.
Chu Luoye took the concealed weapon and handed it over to him. There was a note inserted on it. The note said, "The cricket pot in Lu Tomb is in Taoyuan. If you want to get it, go there alone. Prince, do you dare?"
Chu Luoye raised his eyebrows, "I'm going to Taoyuan alone, so don't follow me."
"Prince." Chang Sheng said worriedly, but swallowed back the words because of Chu Luoye's warning eyes.
Chu Luoye was really arrogant and arrived at Taoyuan alone. He quickly found the unnamed tombstone based on the white cloth tied to the peach branch, and the cricket basin he wanted to get was in front of the tomb. .
Chu Luoye walked forward cautiously, his intuition should be complicated, but after taking two steps, nothing happened.
When Chu Luoye landed on his third step, a hidden weapon suddenly shot at him, and he had to dodge sideways. However, dodging did not put him out of danger, but attracted more hidden weapons.
Chu Luoye dodged left and right, and in the end he was able to maintain his kneeling posture facing the tomb. At this time, there were countless tiny threads beside him. If he touched any of them, he would be shot into a sieve. There was nothing he could do but maintain this posture, and he could only wait for Chang Sheng and Wei Wu to save him tomorrow.
Gu Mingxi from a distance looked at this scene with a proud smile on his lips, "Chu Luoye, you unworthy descendant, just reflect here."
Chu Luoye knelt here all night like this, and it wasn't until Master Ji came to worship him early the next morning that he saved him.
After inquiring about the identity of the tomb owner and knowing that the person living next door was Mr. Fu Che, Chu Luoye decided that the person who plotted against him was Fu Che.
While Chu Luoye rubbed his sore knees, he said fiercely, "Fu Che, right? We have a big knot, we'll see."
Gu Mingxi, on the other hand, set out before dawn and returned to Huguo Temple in the capital at midnight.
When the scene changed, Gu Mingxi was still dressed as Fu Che Fu Che. At this time, she was in the mansion in the capital.
Wearing a robe of ice blue silk embroidered with bamboo leaf patterns, a warm white jade hairpin was inserted in his head, and he held a sandalwood fan in his hand. Although his face was expressionless, it did not affect his handsomeness at all. His face actually made him feel a little more worldly.
It is so different from the weak Liu Fufeng look when Gu Mingxi was the princess of Xingyang County that no one would think that he is the same person.
Gu Mingxi walked out of Mo Tangxuan's door calmly, but was surprised to see two carriages parked at the door.
Gu Mingxi looked over intently and saw a carriage belonging to the House of the Minister of Rites. This was easy to understand. His current identity as Young Master Fu Che was a disciple of the House of the Minister of Rites. It was normal for them to send someone to pick him up.
The other carriage was from Prince Pingnan's palace. Gu Mingxi couldn't help but wonder, why did her brother come to join in the fun
Gu Mingxi also has a biological brother who is three years older than her. His name is Gu Mingze, and he is the heir apparent of Prince Pingnan's palace.
Gu Mingxi felt helpless when she saw Gu Mingze appearing here. Although the two of them were biological siblings, the identities of Gu Mingze and Fu Che had nothing to do with each other. Why was he here? What should I do if I expose myself
Seeing Gu Mingxi come out, Gu Mingze lifted the curtain of the carriage and said with his hands.
"Young Master Fu Che, I have admired you for a long time and have never had the opportunity to meet you. I wonder if you can give me a favor and take a carriage with me to Cuiwei Lake. You can also take this opportunity to communicate. Mingze will definitely benefit. A lot."
Gu Mingxi squinted at Gu Mingze, trying to see what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, communication? When is communication inappropriate? It must be high-profile at this time.
"Prince Mingze, Master Fuche is a disciple of my Shangshu Mansion, so it is natural that he should be sent to Cuiwei Lake from Shangshu Mansion. The Crown Prince accepted his kindness. While boating on Cuiwei Lake, the Crown Prince had the opportunity to have a good conversation with Master Fuche. There’s no rush at this moment.”
Su Zhan came out of another carriage, saluted Gu Mingze and said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone, and then continued,
"Fu Che doesn't go out often so he won't recognize you. Prince Pingnan, please don't be surprised." He said and winked at Gu Mingxi.
Only then did Gu Mingxi realize that she had not saluted Gu Mingze yet. Su Zhan was reminding herself, so Gu Mingxi also bowed as usual.
