Chapter 128: Drinking Tea
Xue Jinyi took the note from the maid's hand, and Pu Yangzhen waited patiently.
"It's done." Xue Jinyi casually burned the note, "The person who killed Mrs. Pan should still be in Pingkangfang." ”
"Huh?" Pu Yangzhen put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked, "How can you see it?" ”
"What your brother Xuan said." Xue Jinyi said, the note was very simple, "The matter has been done, the enemy is not dead", "Specifically, let's talk about it when he comes back, now he should go out of the city directly." ”
Pu Yangzhen nodded, "If Pan Niangzi's enemy is not dead, then things may be easier." ”
Xue Jinyi smiled slightly, "Yes." ”
waited until the evening, Pu Yangzhen was already sleepy and napping on the couch, but as soon as the king of Chu came back, she immediately became energetic, took his hand and asked questions.
“…… Also, Brother Xuan, when did you make this dress, it looks so good? Right, sister-in-law? ”
Xue Jinyi handed the King of Chu a cup of tea.
King Chu nodded and took two sips, the cold tea had a somewhat nasal smell, but it felt quite cool, sweeping away a lot of daytime sleepiness.
Xue Jinyi saw him put down the teacup and asked, "Can you say it?" ”
The King of Chu looked at Xue Jinyi fixedly, and his fingertips gently stroked the rim of the cup.
Xue Jinyi raised her eyebrows, "This is the tea I asked Qinglan and them to make, and some silver pill grass is added to it, which has the effect of refreshing the mind." ”
"You're thoughtful."
"That's not it," Xue Jinyi said with a smile, "After all, Ah Zhen and I are waiting to hear what you have to say." ”
King Chu said: "The person I went to find is surnamed Shao, and he is in the fifth line of the family, as for his real name, he is the behind-the-scenes boss of more than a dozen brothels in Pingkangfang, I think ......" He looked at Pu Yangzhen, "It's one of my aunt's eyeliner, right?" ”
Pu Yangzhen nodded, "Exactly, those officials love to go to Pingkangfang for recreation, and drinking too much wine will inevitably reveal something." She frowned, "That's all I know, I just heard that Shao Wulang has a somewhat eccentric temperament." ”
"Yes," said the king of Chu, "he is not rare in money, and he needs to be given something he will like to do things." ”
"So that braised elbow?" Xue Jinyi asked, "Is it for him?" ”
The king of Chu roughly told Xue Jinyi and Puyang Zhen about the things in Pingkangfang.
Xue Jinyi said: "Sure enough, he is an eccentric person who needs to be careful. ”
"It's kind of interesting." Pu Yangzhen said with a smile: "If you can get things done by spending money, isn't it boring and too simple." ”
"What about Mrs. Pan?" Xue Jinyi recalled King Chu's words, "The ghost is still lingering in Xiaolou and has not dispersed, which means that the great revenge has not been avenged, so the enemy is not dead." ”
Pu Yang Zhen nodded in agreement.
The King of Chu took another sip of tea and asked, "What about you here?" ”
Puyang Zhen said: "Miss Yu'er is very smart, she can understand a little, and she will learn it as soon as she learns, and now I am about to cry when I listen to her singing." ”
"That being said, I want the King of Chu to listen to it again, after all, there is a difference between men and women." Xue Jinyi looked at the King of Chu with a smile.
King Chu looked at her expressionlessly.
"Huh?" Xue Jinyi pretended to be surprised, "I forgot that His Royal Highness the King of Chu is cold-hearted and cold-hearted to others, and I am afraid that I will be indifferent when I listen to that song, so that we think we are busy in vain." ”
Pu Yangzhen took the opportunity to say: "It shows that Brother Xuan is only good to those he cares about. ”
She winked at Xue Jinyi, who coughed lightly, and then wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, blocking half of her face.
King Chu said: "Let's listen to it." ”
He wanted to see how far Xue Jinyi could go.
Xue Jinyi instructed Qinglan to call Yu'er and the musicians and ask them to perform in front of the King of Chu.
After a song, the king of Chu was still expressionless.
Yu'er was a little flustered, looked at the musician wiping the corners of her eyes, and then looked at the county lord who shook her head and sighed, and hurriedly asked Xue Jinyi, "Miss Xue, am I not singing well enough?" Don't you think the emotions are genuine and touching enough? ”
"Don't panic Yu'er," Xue Jinyi comforted softly, "You already sing very well, it's just ......" She glanced at the King of Chu, "Some people are stone-hearted, or...... Looks good. ”
Yu'er peeked at King Chu a little frightened and licked her lips, but she didn't know what to say.
Xue Jinyi coughed lightly.
The King of Chu spoke, "Not bad." ”
As soon as the two words came out, Yu'er seemed to have a thousand catties of burden on her shoulders.
Xue Jinyi said: "Yu'er, it's okay, go back early to rest, take good care of your throat, and you will have to practice soon." ”
"Okay." Yu'er nodded to them and went out.
Xue Jinyi sighed: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, look at your cold appearance, everyone will be scared to death." ”
"You're an exception."
"Maybe it's because you saved my life, so the perception is different." Xue Jinyi continued three cups of tea, "I kind of want to hear what the refugees in the Land Gong Temple say about you." ”
"There is no need for Miss Xue to worry about this." King Chu took a sip of tea, in addition to the silver dancao, there should be some other things added to the tea, and there is a little sweet and silky taste after tasting it carefully, which makes the herbal tea taste refreshing and delicious.
"Okay." Xue Jinyi smiled calmly: "Anyway, it's not my reputation. ”
In the final analysis, she believes that the King of Chu can be thoughtful in the face of big and small matters, and will not be as indifferent to people as usual, so it is not easy to win the hearts of the people.
It wasn't too early, King Chu went back to rest, and Xue Jinyi also rested early.
One thing after another is about to be done, and it depends on whether the east wind can enter the game smoothly.
Three days later, the abrasions on her knees no longer affected Xue Jinyi's walking, and when the little officials in the flower hall of the eldest princess's mansion were busy again, news came that the prince would go to the Land Gong Temple early tomorrow morning.
"Who's the one who sent the message back?" Xue Jinyi asked.
Puyang Zhen said: "It was the crown prince who told the emperor about this matter, and immediately sent the news back." ”
"What did you say, do you know?"
Pu Yangzhen looked at Xue Jinyi and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Wouldn't it be that you think the prince is setting up a situation in this matter?" ”
"He went to rob the king of Chu's credit, how could he not think that the eldest princess and the king of Chu would take precautions?"
Puyang Zhen's expression was grim, "The original words are, 'Father, my son will go to Lantian County to comfort the refugees, and I dare not ask my aunt and grandmother and eldest brother to be too busy', and so on...... Subconsciously thought that 'going to go' was tomorrow, because today is too late to pass. ”
Xue Jinyi sighed, "The prince is really careful, I'm afraid that tomorrow he will just ask someone to disguise himself as him, pretend to go out, and see if there are any traps." ”
Pu Yangzhen shook his head, "I'm also afraid that he will make a false shot, I don't know where it is true and what is false." ”
There is no effective eyeliner in the East Palace, I don't know when the prince will set off, if they follow the prince's path or miss it, then their preparations in the past few days will be in vain.
