In the extravagant red gauze pavilion, the lights are feasting, the light as light smoke of incense rises, the melodious sound of pipa echoes in it, and the sound of warblers and swallows is full of spring.
Mr. Lu and the man surnamed Huang walked into the Hongxiao Pavilion while chatting and laughing.
A middle-aged woman with heavy makeup twisted her waist and greeted them, waving a silk handkerchief in her hand to greet the two: "Hey, isn't this Jiu Gongzi and Master Huang? I said why the magpie was screaming on the branch early this morning. It kept going, so it turned out that two distinguished guests came."
"Buddhist, you're still so good at talking!" Mr. Huang couldn't stop laughing, and pinched the old bustard's waist and hips, which made the old bustard giggle, and immediately called two alluring women to come up to meet the guests.
Then Lu Jiu hurriedly asked the old bustard: "Buddhist, can you keep my jade pendant for me? I specially brought silver to redeem the jade pendant today." Then, he took out an embroidered jade pendant from his pocket. The purse with the pattern of dragonfly dotted lotus, the purse was bulging, causing a greedy light to flash in the old bustard's eyes.
Master Huang laughed at the side and said: "Buddhist, that jade pendant was a gift from brother Lu's sweetheart, he treats it like his life, did you take it away?"
"Ninth Young Master, Master Huang, don't worry. Although my Chunniang is a daughter, how can I break my promise when I open the door to do business! I took that jade pendant well for Jiu Gongzi." The old bustard patted The plump chest said, and then told a little girl in pink beside her to go to her room to get the jade pendant.
At this time, a rough male voice came from the front and shouted to Master Huang and Lu Jiu: "Brother Huang, brother Lu, come here, come and sit here! We brothers haven't had a drink together for a long time... Brother Lu, hurry up!" Tell my brother which beauty cave you've been to these days!"
"Haha, brother Zhang, you're asking the right question." Master Huang affectionately embraced Lu Jiu and walked towards the place where the voice came from, "Our brother Lu is really a young talent with a lot of luck! Come on, come on." , Brother Lu, quickly tell me about your sweetheart!"
"This..." Lu Jiu seemed a bit scrupulous.
Immediately afterwards, the master Zhang affectionately embraced him and sat down, poured him a glass of wine, and drummed to the side: "Brother Lu, hurry up and talk to the old buddies!"
After two cups of yellow soup, Lu Jiu felt a little flustered. Jun's face turned red, and he said with a smile, "It's nothing...that is, one day a few months ago, my younger brother went to a temple to worship Buddha. Glory to the lintel! The younger brother was strolling in the temple after worshiping the Buddha, and came across a stunning woman with both talent and beauty. At that time, the woman and the maid were being entangled by two hooligans... The two elder brothers also knew that the younger brother was always on the road. Seeing the injustice, he drew his sword to help, and went forward to teach those two ruffians a lesson... "
"Haha, I see, there is no repayment for saving your life, so the woman will promise you with her body, right?" Master Zhang interrupted Lu Jiu with a big laugh, and the tables beside him were also booing, creating a lively commotion.
Master Huang patted Master Zhang hard, "Brother Zhang, don't interrupt, let Brother Lu speak for himself!"
Lu Jiu drank half a glass of wine again, and continued: "My younger brother and that woman hit it off right away. We chatted for two full hours in the temple. It’s so late to meet each other! That day, before we parted ways, she gave him a jade pendant as a token of love between the two of us. Since then, my younger brother has had private meetings with her every few days... "
"What private meeting! Isn't it just that the mandarin ducks are turned into red waves?"
I don't know who said something, and the whole room burst into laughter.
Unknowingly, Lu Jiu became the center of everyone's attention, everyone's attention...
Almost no one noticed that in a private room on the second floor, a window facing the lobby was opened a crack from the inside, and a handsome young man in a blue brocade robe was looking down at Lu Jiu, who was glowing red below, A look of contentment appeared on his face.
"San Gong... son." A sissy boy looked around anxiously, "how about..."
The young man in brocade raised his hand to stop the boy from continuing, with a look of sternness flashing in his eyes, he said coldly: "I have spent so much effort in arranging this good show, and the most exciting part has not yet been staged. How can the palace leave?!"
This person was disguised by the three princesses!
One day two months ago, the third princess was bored and went to several jewelry shops in the city, one of which was Huiyutang. That day, when she was choosing jade ornaments in the VIP room, the maid who accompanied her suddenly came to report that she saw a little maid from Zhennan Palace engraving the words "Xiao Fei". The maid knew very well about the old grievances between the third princess and Xiao Fei, so she came here to tell the third princess.
The third princess immediately felt that something was wrong, and which noble lady would be so stupid as to directly engrave her name on her jade pendant... So the third princess quietly ordered someone to follow the little maid, and finally found out who she was. The little maid is Ruixiang, the eldest maid next to Miss Xiao Er of Zhennan Palace.
The deep palace is full of intrigues and intrigues, and the three princesses immediately understood that this is a scene of sisters living on the wall.
Even if the third princess doesn't do anything, she can still wait for Xiao Fei's bad luck!
But that Xiao Rongxuan was mostly just making trouble, Xiao Fei would only suffer a small loss at most, and would not be able to hurt the Zhennan Palace at all.
Thinking of Wen Yu's admiration for Xiao Fei in the past, and thinking of the humiliation of the Zhennan Palace, the third princess is really unwilling, she knows this is a great opportunity!
After hesitating again and again, the third princess decided to take action in person, making this matter a big deal!
While Ruixiang was on the way back to Huiyutang to pick up the jade pendant, the third princess asked someone to steal the jade pendant quietly, and she also expected that the second girl Xiao would not dare to say anything. Afterwards, she found a rascal in the city, promised to benefit him, and dressed him up like a human being, and asked him to take this jade pendant to the Hongxiao Pavilion, and deliberately left the jade pendant...
This game of chess has been played for two months, and now it's time for a good harvest!
Thinking about it, the corners of the three princesses' mouths were raised high, and there was a look of anticipation in their eyes.
After this incident, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion will be disgraced in southern Xinjiang. Let's see how Nangong Yue will be arrogant in front of her in the future, and Xiao Fei. She wants to see how Xiao Fei will marry in the future! Or marrying the rascal seems fine too!
And myself, just sit here and wait to watch the good show!
While thinking, the lobby on the first floor became more lively. A seductive brothel woman squeezed her throat and pretended to cry: "With such a stunning beauty, it's no wonder Mr. Lu hasn't come to our Hongxiao Pavilion recently!"
Then, a skinny man said sourly: "Lu Jiu, I think you are bragging! You know everything from classics and history collections to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. This is a famous lady in Luoyue City who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, calligraphy and painting." Quite a few, so how can you master a subset of classics and history?!"
When he said this, many people felt that it was not unreasonable, and echoed him repeatedly.
Naturally, Lu Jiu was not willing to be humiliated, so he looked at the skinny man contemptuously, and said, "How many famous ladies does this brother know? Naturally, there are such talented women in Luoyue City, no, one in a thousand!"
"Then I will listen to brother Lu's advice!" The other party provocatively said.
Hearing this, the third princess upstairs became even more excited, and stared downstairs without blinking.
According to the playbook she had written, the next thing was that Lu Jiu was not willing to be questioned, and said Xiao Fei's name...
At this moment, a little girl in pink came running out of breath and shouted: "Mom, I found Mr. Lu's jade pendant!"
One sentence caused many eyes to focus on this little girl. In her tender little hand, she was holding a white jade ring pendant with a wishful knot. It is natural to see at a glance that this jade pendant is a high-quality sheep fat jade, and the engravings and pendants are plain and elegant.
From this point of view, the original owner of this jade pendant may really have extraordinary taste and a noble background.
The third princess had played with this jade pendant for many days, how could she not recognize it! The corner of her mouth curled into a strange arc, and her eyes were even more brilliant.
The little maid in disguise felt terrified at the side, feeling like the third princess was possessed by a demon.
"My jade pendant!" Lu Jiu below eagerly snatched the jade pendant from the little girl's hand, looked at it for a while, seemed relieved, and said triumphantly to everyone, "How is it?! Look You know this jade pendant, right? The status of my sweetheart is not low, and this jade is engraved with her boudoir name... "
"My boudoir name?! Let me have a look!" The old man beside Lu Jiu leaned over to look curiously.
In an instant, the pupils of the three princesses narrowed sharply, and they followed silently: Xiao, Fei.
"Han, Ji, Yu."
At the same time, Master Huang read the words word by word.
What? ! The third princess was dumbfounded, her mind exploded with a bang, and her ears rang.
how so? ! Xiao Fei's name should be clearly engraved on the jade pendant, how could it become her name? ! How could this be... The third princess's mind was in a mess.
"Han Jiyu?!" The skinny man downstairs raised his eyebrows suspiciously, "I've never heard of any lady named Han in Luoyue City! Lu Jiu, you really are bragging."
"Wait! Old Ma, there is indeed a person surnamed Han in Luoyue City..." A black-faced man thought of something, and his voice changed with excitement, "Old Ma, have you forgotten? At the end of last year, we A big man surnamed Han came to Luoyue City..."
He meaningfully increased the volume of the three words "big man".
"Third Princess?!" Among the crowd, someone blurted out, "Could it be His Royal Highness Third Princess?!"
"What do you think?!" Lu Jiu blinked, evoked a frivolous smile triumphantly, and put the jade pendant into her arms.
There was a sudden commotion in the lobby, and the guests were all whispering and sighing. Almost every guest present and those girls from the brothel had eyes shining brightly, they most liked to hear about the erotic affairs of the nobles!
Seeing that he actually admitted it, the third princess in the private seat on the second floor suddenly came back to her senses and stood up immediately.
The anger in her heart was burning hotter and hotter, her eyes were fixed on Lu Jiu, and she wanted to kill him!
What courage, this Lu Jiu is really courageous!
She wanted to make a case, and wanted to teach these bold and foul-mouthed people below a lesson, but she did this matter extremely secretly, so she only brought two close confidants with her when she went out this time. The guards outside, if they really make trouble, they may suffer a loss because they are weak on their own side!
Moreover, she must not reveal her identity. Once others know that she is a majestic princess in the Red Silk Pavilion, she will not be able to clean up if she really jumped into the Yellow River! Her name will be stained forever...
The third princess was ashamed and angry, her whole face was flushed red up to her ears, after a while, she calmed down a bit, gritted her teeth and said to the maid, "Let's go!"
The master and the servant hurried out of the private seat and went downstairs. The first floor was as bustling as a vegetable market. Lu Jiuzheng was talking endlessly about the love history between him and the third princess: "...Little brother, I have experienced flowers for many years, and I realized a truth." Son, this yellow girl is dull and boring, but those women can let go! This widow has no worries and cares, and she is the best among them!"
"Brother Lu, do you mean that His Highness is free-spirited on the couch?" Master Zhang smiled ambiguously, winking at Lu Jiu.
"Old Zhang, you haven't seen Brother Lu's reminiscing eyes, you must be! Besides, I heard that the third princess is a new widow, so I must be thinking of a man..." Immediately afterwards, someone let out a wretched laugh, and continued Others around laughed too.
Those obscene words caused a certain thread in the third princess's mind to break instantly, and her heart went straight to the sky, and she almost lost her mind under the mixture of shame and anger.
"Shut up!" The third princess finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily with her face flushed, "You are so brave, dare to criticize members of the royal family here, aren't you afraid that the government will punish you for a crime of disrespect?!"
In an instant, almost everyone on the first floor followed the sound and looked at the furious third princess. Most people only thought that this sissy young man was out of his mind...
That old master Huang said with a smile: "Little brother, when did we criticize members of the royal family? We are talking about a playbook!"
"Yes, yes! Brother, haven't you watched "The Story of Liuyang Palace"?" Someone immediately followed his words.
This "Liuyang Palace" tells the story of a princess who married for the third time in the previous dynasty. Bai Ling...
Taking this play as an example, these people are clearly satirizing themselves for their licentiousness! The third princess trembled with embarrassment and clenched her fists tightly. If eyes could kill, these people would have been cut to pieces by her long ago!
Although she admired her cousin Wen Yu, not her son-in-law Kui Lang, but she has always kept herself clean, but now she is stained by these troublesome people!
"My lord, let's go back quickly and ask Lord Hou to come forward..." The palace maid hastily whispered in the ear of the third princess.
Anger surged in the chest of the third princess, she took a deep breath, and almost vomited blood, but she could only continue to endure. She gritted her teeth and trembled, "Let's go!"
"Wait, young master, stay here!"
Suddenly someone called out to stop the third princess, and the old bustard twisted her waist and walked up to the third princess, and stretched out her hand with a smile, "My lord, you have ordered wine and food, but you haven't paid the money yet!"
boom-
In an instant, the third princess flushed with embarrassment, and her eyes almost burst into flames. She wrote down this account!
The maid hurriedly took out her purse and stuffed ten taels of silver into the old bustard.
The master and servant hurried away amidst the laughter of the whole hall.
The third princess gritted her back molars fiercely, with shame, anger and anger in her eyes.
Now, how could she not know that she was scheming, praying mantises catching cicadas, and the oriole was behind, she was so careless!
The third princess was so flustered that she had no idea in her heart. After fleeing from the Hongxiao Pavilion, she hurried back to the other courtyard of the Wangfu in the north of the city.
At this time, the gongs and drums outside rang twice in succession, "Boom!"
It's already the second watch.
The third princess didn't care that Pingyanghou was already asleep, so she ordered her servants to call him over, and wanted him to help make up her mind. Although she was extremely embarrassed, the third princess still told the ins and outs of the jade pendant in detail.
Marquis Pingyang's face turned blue and white, and he was annoyed and angry. He knew in his heart that the third princess must have been plotted against.
And in this southern border, who dares and who has the ability to plot against the three princesses? The answer can be imagined!
Who let the three princesses commit crimes against others? Xiao Yi is not a person who will repay grievances with virtue. The three princesses dared to use their brains on Xiao Yi's younger sister. Xiao Yi didn't kill her, maybe it was because of the emperor's face... After all, Kui Lang's tragic death is still in sight!
The third princess didn't notice the subtle expression of Marquis Pingyang, walked around in a irritated manner, and said angrily, "Master Hou, someone must be trying to frame me!"
What a stupid woman! It's okay to cause trouble for yourself! Marquis Pingyang cursed secretly in his heart, but on the surface he could only calmly say: "Your Highness, Third Princess, don't be impatient, I will leave this matter to Benhou."
Marquis Pingyang frowned slightly, now he is on Xiao Yi's territory, if Xiao Yi really wanted to deal with the three princesses, and if he came forward by himself, wouldn't he be offending Xiao Yi? Furthermore, does Xiao Yi think that he has something to do with this matter
Thinking about it, Marquis Pingyang felt a little uneasy again, so he comforted the third princess with a few words, and said, "It's late at night, Your Highness should go to bed early, and I will take my leave first."
The third princess relaxed a little, looked at Pingyang Hou expectantly and said: "Master Hou, then the palace will rely on Master Hou."
After Pingyanghou left the room of the third princess, he hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly left the other courtyard and went to Bixiaotang, riding his horse galloping on the empty street.
It was getting late now, and Marquis Pingyang also guessed that Xiao Yi would probably not see him, but he still wanted to find out, so that he would know what to do next...
By the time Pingyanghou delivered the message into Bixiao Hall, little Xiao Yu had already fallen asleep, Xiao Yi was reading the letter from Feige sent by Yao Lianghang from Xijiang in the inner room, while Nangong Yue was combing her hair by herself.
After Baihui finished reporting, she looked at Xiao Yi and asked for instructions: "Master, do you want to see..." Marquis of Pingyang
Xiao Yi waved his hands casually without raising his head, and said, "You just say that this son is busy with the children and has no time."
The corner of Nangong Yue's mouth twitched. Usually Xiao Yi always disliked Brother Yu, but when he wanted to use Brother Yu as an excuse, he didn't feel embarrassed at all.
Even if Nangong Yue didn't come to Hongxiao Pavilion tonight, she roughly guessed it... Pingyang Marquis came to Bixiao Hall at this time, could it be that the third princess wanted to ask Pingyang Marquis to come forward to resolve the matter? Thinking about it, Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows, her eyes sparkled with interest.
"Yes, my son." Baihui replied, and then quietly retreated.
Xiao Yi continued to look at the Flying Pigeon Biography in his hand, with a smile of interest on his lips.
According to Fei Ge's biography, Gongjun Wang Han Lingfu threatened Han Huaijun and Yao Lianghang to negotiate peace with Xiye on August 30th. Although unable to resist the edict, he was also unwilling to negotiate peace with Xiye, so he could only temporarily slow down the offensive against Xiye's army... In just three days, the morale of the Xijiang army was greatly reduced, and it was finally aroused by a few victories. His bloodiness faded again, and for a while, there were constant voices of peace talks among the Western Frontier Army, and Han Lingfu, King of Gongjun, became everyone's favorite!
Xiao Yi quickly finished reading Fei Ge's letter, and raised his head with a smile that was not a smile. Seeing Nangong Yue's curious gaze, he handed the letter to her casually, feeling really good.
Although there were some unexpected changes in the capital, the situation in Xijiang went very smoothly. Han Lingfu lived up to the trust of him and Xiaobai, and his reaction was within their expectations...
Xiao Yi's eyes were shining brightly under the light, and he murmured to himself with a smile: "Then it's up to Xiaobai!"
