As soon as Huayan said this, An Shuli was taken aback for a moment, obviously he didn't expect this trouble, and he looked at Zhao Zaifu again, the expression on his face just now had disappeared without a trace, replaced by a bluish-white look Composite look.
He didn't expect that yesterday he asked someone to inquire about the news from Xiao Zhongzi. He thought he could make good use of it, but he didn't expect that Huayan would expose him face to face today.
Huayan's words were meant to inquire about her, but both she and he knew in their hearts that what he inquired about was about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Inquiring about the news about the Crown Princess is nothing, but inquiring about the news about His Royal Highness, and being known to make public, it has a lot to do with it.
Although many people have tried to inquire about the news of His Highness the Crown Prince over the years, the Eastern Palace is monolithic and no one can kick it away.
The news he received yesterday was too shocking. He didn't have time to think about why Xiao Zhongzi opened his mouth this time. He thought it was the jade pot skillfully carved by Yu Huasheng in the previous dynasty and the words of the long follower that moved his mind. After such a crop.
Since Xiaozhongzi pleaded guilty to Huayan, His Royal Highness naturally knew about it.
Zhao Zaifu looked at Huayan and was speechless for a while, regretting for a while that he should have spoken impulsively just now.
He has lived for most of his life, and he has never seen Huayan like this. If anyone makes her unhappy, she will kill him in person, and he will be embarrassing. Obviously, he just provoked her, and now, this is stabbing his heart with a knife.
Both Huayan and An Shuli are smart people, it would be futile for him to explain at this time.
Huayan admired Zhao Zaifu's expression of nothing to say, smiled lightly, and invited, "Is Zaifu alone? Coincidentally, Mr. Shuli and I have just arrived, and His Royal Highness will come later, why don't we have dinner together?"
After all, Zhao Zaifu was a person who spent most of his life in the court and the public, so he quickly recovered his expression, "I am not alone, I invited a few adults to go with me, and I happened to meet the Crown Princess and Young Master Shuli." Xiangyunfang next to Luxiangzhai, "It's not Luxiangzhai, it's Xiangyunfang. I'm afraid we can't be with His Royal Highness, Crown Princess, and Mr. Shuli."
Huayan smiled, and regretfully said, "It's a coincidence, and it's not a coincidence. It's not the same place. I wanted to have a few drinks with Zaifu. It seems that I can only choose another day."
Zhao Zaifu nodded with a smile, "Another day, another day."
Hua Yan turned around, smiled and said to An Shuli, "Let's go in."
An Shuli nodded with a smile, stopped looking at Zhao Zaifu, and the two entered Luxiangzhai together.
Watching the figures of the two disappear at the gate of Luxiangzhai, the forced smile on Zhao Zaifu's face disappeared without a trace. Xiangyunfang next to Luxiangzhai.
In a private room in Xiangyunfang, a young man wearing a hat was waiting for Zhao Zaifu. This young man was about twenty years old. Seeing Zhao Zaifu come in with a sullen face, he raised his eyebrows, and said in a charming voice, "Who offended Mr. Zaifu made Mr. Zaifu look like this?"
Zhao Zaifu didn't answer, sat down and reached out to him, "Bring me something."
Without further ado, the young man handed him a package of things, and said with a coquettish smile, "This thing is very strong, Mr. Zaifu, use it with caution, you are old, if you don't use it well, be careful. "
Zhao Zaifu took the things, "I don't need you to worry about it."
The young man looked at him with a smile, "Master Zaifu seems to be using it for himself. You are old, and it is time to cherish your life. You dare not use such a life-threatening thing."
Zhao Zaifu collected the things, "You can go"
The young man smiled and shook his head, "It's my first time in the capital, and I don't want to leave. It is said that the venison in Luxiangzhai is very delicious. I am tired of eating in Xiangyunfang, and I am planning to go to Luxiangzhai. Mr. Zaifu thought that how"
Zhao Zaifu said with an ugly face, "You'd better not go now, His Royal Highness will go to Luxiangzhai later."
The young man said "Oh", "The floods in the Chuanhe Valley are severe. It is said that His Royal Highness has been devastated to control the floods, and now he still has leisure time to go to Luxiangzhai to eat, drink and have fun."
Zhao Zaifu didn't answer, "Anyway, you can't go."
"What if I want to go?" The young man looked at Zhao Zaifu.
Zhao Zaifu stared at him closely, "As you are, it's better not to meet him face to face. Once he finds your trace, be careful that you won't be able to eat and walk around."
The young man laughed, "Lord Zaifu, I am a good citizen. I will not break the law, and I will not commit crimes. This capital city is not a place where I am not allowed to set foot. Even if His Royal Highness knows that I am coming, how can I not be able to bear it?" It’s because you’re afraid of leaving. You took the charm from me, and you’re afraid that once I’m targeted, your calculations behind this will fail. Isn’t it?”
Zhao Zaifu looked at him sullenly, "Anyway, you can't go to Luxiangzhai now, you can go anywhere."
The young man looked at him, "Apart from His Royal Highness, is there anyone else in Luxiangzhai?" After finishing the words, he raised his eyebrows through the hat, "Let me guess, it's the person you want to use charming to deal with. Are you afraid?" It's not His Royal Highness, but that person found out, right?"
Zhao Zaifu was annoyed, and warned by name and surname, "Cheng Zixiao"
"Zaifu is angry. It seems that I have talked about your heart." Cheng Zixiao stood up, approached Zhao Zaifu, and patted him on the shoulder. My relationship will not be destroyed, so I naturally don't care what you plan to do."
Zhao Zaifu looked pale, "You can stay in the capital for a few more days, but you are not allowed to go to Luxiangzhai today. If you want to eat the venison from Luxiangzhai, you can go tomorrow."
Cheng Zi looked at him with a smile, "Give me 10% of the Huaihe Salt Road, and I won't go today. You know, apart from money, I only love food. If there is no food, money will make up for it."
Zhao Zaifu gritted his teeth, "Okay."
Cheng Zixiao withdrew his hand from Zhao Zaifu's shoulder, and said coquettishly with a smile, "As expected of Mr. Zaifu, I am happy." After saying that, he straightened his hat and stepped out of the threshold, "If you don't go to Luxiangzhai, then I will go to get drunk It's ready to eat."
Zhao Zaifu frowned, "Ziqingzhai is Su Zizhan's territory."
Cheng Zixiao looked back at him, "Isn't Su Zizhan missing? I don't know if he's dead or alive."
Zhao Zaifu stopped talking.
Cheng Zi laughed out of Xiangyunfang.
After Cheng Zixiao left, Zhao Zaifu frowned and shouted, "Qing Fu"
"Zaifu" came out alone.
Zhao Zaifu ordered, "Go and find out immediately why An Shuli is so close to the princess, and tell me as soon as possible."
"Yes." Qing Fu responded, as if appearing, retreated quietly.
Zhao Zaifu took out the bag of things that Cheng Zixiao handed him, thought about it for a moment, and put it away again.
After An Shuli and Hua Yan entered Luxiangzhai, An Shuli had already booked a wing room, a window-side room on the second floor. Huayan took off her poncho and sat down in front of the window.
Xiao Er then followed in, took the menu, secretly looked at Huayan, didn't know, and asked An Shuli with a smile on his face, "Master, it's rare to come here, what do you want to order?"
An Shuli didn't look at the menu, and said in a gentle voice, "The best ones, just come up."
Xiaoer should be, go immediately.
Not long after, Xiao Er brought a pot of tea, An Shuli filled it up for Hua Yan himself, and sat down.
Huayan was holding a teacup, sipping tea slowly, chatting with An Shuli occasionally, looking out of the window from time to time, she knew that since An Shuli had sent someone to deliver the message, Yun Chi would definitely come .
She was watching, but she didn't see the carriage in the East Palace, but instead saw a familiar figure. The man was wearing a poncho and a hat, and his whole body was tightly covered, but there was only one back, Hua Yan still recognized it, and couldn't help Showing surprise.
An Shuli was talking to Huayan, and seeing her expression changed, he also turned his head to look out the window, and saw the figure in the rain, he took a closer look, but he didn't recognize him, so he asked, "Prince Princess knows that figure?" people"
Huayan nodded, looked out the window and said, "He is Cheng Zixiao, a son of a concubine from the Cheng family in the north."
An Shuli was surprised, "To make you show such an expression, this son of a concubine from the Cheng family in the north is extraordinary."
Huayan nodded, "He is good at business, and he has almost taken over all the business in the Northland, from Yandao River transportation to basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation, but wherever he is involved, there is no disadvantage."
An Shuli pondered and said, "I only know that the Cheng family's younger brother in the north is the younger brother, but the second son of the Cheng family, Cheng Guzhi, is quite talented, but I don't know that Cheng Zixiao is extraordinary."
Huayan smiled and said, "He is a son of a concubine in the Cheng family, and he is not taken seriously. Even the Cheng family may not know that Cheng Zixiao has such a great ability, and secretly controls the property all over the Northland. It is normal that you have never heard of him. He never shows his face easily." After saying that, she thought, "It seems that he just came out of Xiangyun Square next door, Zhao Zaifu went in, he came out, this is interesting, it can't be another coincidence."
