Chapter 62: The Ages of Old Things

The interior of the building runs through several canals, although this thoroughfare has never been said to belong to private individuals.

It's just that once it is surrounded by a high-walled compound, no one is allowed to pass, and naturally it becomes the owner of the family. For example, part of the canal in Si Li Lou, after such a while, also belonged to Si Li Lou.

In the final analysis, this Leng Chu is an out-and-out business person, and what he is best at is smart trading.

She also made good use of the water canal in Si Li's building, and without exception, built a small attic in it.

Although it looks like it is only as big as a sesame seed, the depth inside is comparable to that of a large mansion, and it is delicately divided into four or five floors, each of which leads to the waterway.

When she saw Feng Changqi's question, she blew the bone whistle hanging from her neck to herself.

After a while, one after another, the black shadows fell lightly in the canal. With sharp blades in their hands, they shone in the moonlight, and with a flick of their fingers, they quickly ascended to the canal bank, dressed in dark blue clothes, the color of the night, and the posture looked like ghosts born with the darkness of the night.

"There are more than ten attics like this, and there are more than 20 people in each of them."

There is no doubt that these people all have some ability, if not, according to their cold temperament, they are categorically unwilling to reuse.

Feng Changqi was silent, since Leng Chu had told her all such confidential things, it would be very difficult to get involved in the filth in Si Lilou in the future.

"Let's go down." Leng Chu waved his hand, and those people jumped into the canal one by one as they came. After a while, the water surface calmed down, and the scene just now seemed to only appear in a dream.

"If the princess wants to know about the past, just ask the old calligrapher in Baohuafang," Leng Chu sighed loudly, "My sister is sometimes good and sometimes bad, and she also remembers the past very vaguely. But the bookmaker knew everything perfectly, and the princess should go and ask. ”

Feng Changqi listened, frowning slightly.

The old bookmaker of Bowfield Place?

It's Bauhua Place again!

She has a headache, and now it seems that everyone is pulling Baohuafang and refuses to let go.

In the end, he still didn't see Leng Youruo, thinking of the first time he saw Leng Youruo's appearance, Feng Changqi was also quite a little unbearable to bother again. followed Yu Hopeless all the way out of Si Li Tower.

The night market in Yaojing City has just begun, and it is very bustling and lively.

They chose a private room in a wine shop, and the two of them sat opposite each other.

After a day of running, Feng Changqi's eyes are still blazing, reflecting the high candle behind him, and a pair of eyes are sparkling and aura.

Yu was hopeless to retract her gaze, and poured herself two cups of flower wine.

"Eat less, and wait for a while to go back to Jingyun Division to get some sleep."

There is a special place for Feng Changqi to sleep in the Amazing Cloud Division, although it is not as spacious and extravagant as the Yunning Palace, it is also passable in the end.

After all, she has suffered a lot in the cold palace, and she doesn't care much about these.

"Master, when are we going to find the old bookmaker?"

Seeing that Feng Changqi didn't feel tired at all, Yu Wuwang smiled.

"Three days later."

"Why?" Feng Changqi tilted his little head, looking puzzled, "What if Prince Tourong makes another move in the past three days and harms an innocent woman?" ”

"In a few days, it will be the Queen Mother's birthday, and no matter how bold Prince Rong is, he must always consider the powerful relationship between them. This is the 70th birthday of the Queen Mother, you also have to prepare for a good life, just take a good rest for your life, these days for the Jingyun Division, I have suffered a lot. ”

Seventy years old?

She hadn't returned to the palace for a few days, and she didn't even know anything about it.

The Yukun Palace has always been carefully prepared.

Feng Changqi puffed out his mouth, his eyebrows lowered.

"The Queen Mother doesn't want to see us in the Yunning Palace, even if she is well prepared, it is very vain." A wry smile crossed her lips.

Escaping from the cold palace is hard enough. After leaving the cold palace, it was even more difficult. If it weren't for his own mother, Feng Changqi would not have thought of enduring the trials and tribulations in this deep palace compound.

"Even if it's a superficial effort, you have to get by. According to the custom, the nobles have to sacrifice their skills to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday. ”

Dedication?

Feng Changqi tugged at the corners of his mouth, looking at Yu Wuhope's face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and his heart was depressed for a while.

"Why didn't Master say it earlier?"

"The apprentice is talented, and he may not have special skills, which is also difficult for the apprentice."

This is clearly a joke.

Feng Changqi was surging with qi and blood, and drank two or three bowls of flower wine in a row.

"And."

"Huh?" Feng Changqi looked up at Dingyu hopelessly, "What else is going on?" ”

"Since it is the case of Prince Cha Rong, you must be cautious, and it is best to investigate it in the dark. If that person notices in the slightest, it won't do you or Shocking Cloud the slightest benefit. ”

Now that he is maneuvering in the middle, everyone in the world knows that the Yu clan pursues the golden mean, and will never take sides. If that person knows, he has no hope of helping Feng Changqi, and he doesn't know what kind of moth will come out in the future.

It is a matter of life and death at every turn, and Yu has no hope and does not dare to let Feng Changqi gamble.

Feng Changqi saw that he was not serious, his heart softened, and he nodded.

"I know what I know."

Two days before the birthday of the Queen Mother, there was another major event in the DPRK.

At the end of the year's fortune city, bandits were rampant, killing the officials of the court, entrenched in one side, and almost claimed the king and hegemony in it.

Over the years, the imperial court has been busy with the war of Changping, and for those small border towns, they are basically indulgent and do not often ask. The city lord is the biggest official there, and over time, this place has become a place outside the law that cannot be governed by the laws of the Wind Country.

Now the old city lord of Suiyun City was killed by bandits, and they occupied the city, becoming more and more arrogant, and they were about to use Suiyun City as the base to attack the hinterland.

Fortunately, over the years, everything in the southwest border has been stable, and Yun Wang Xi is brave and resourceful, and he is a man who can be dispatched and reused.

For the sake of the peace of the Wind Country, the Wind Emperor had to pass on the order to let Xi Zhongyi lead 10,000 horses and set foot in the Lunar City.

came and went, and Xi Wei's status rose.

Hua Long was originally a holy favor, but this time he was completely neglected.

Yunning Palace.

Mama Nai Ying took a few palace maids and removed the untouched meals one by one.

Seeing that it was Feng Changqi coming, there was a little smile on Nai's face.

"The princess is back."

"A-Niang hasn't eaten?" Feng Changqi's eyes were scorching, staring closely at the food in the hands of those palace people.

It's Hua Long's favorite in ordinary times, but this time it didn't move at all.

"Isn't A-Niang Mo sick?"

Mama Nai Ying smiled bitterly, lowered her voice, and replied: "The emperor has not been here recently, but he used to come every day. ”

When Feng Changqi heard this, he laughed.

Hualong is not a newcomer, she has been in the palace for so many years, can't she see through the grace? She shrugged her shoulders and said to Mama Nai, "Heat it up, and I'll serve it later." ”

"Yes." Mama Nai Ying answered, and took those palace maids all the way out of the middle gate.

The inner hall was quiet, and only the incense of agarwood in the beast's brain slowly overflowed.

Feng Changqi lightly lifted the curtain and walked in.

Hua Long seemed to have lost a little weight, her face was not good, and she was pretending to sleep.

Listening to the movement, he slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing that it was Feng Changqi coming, he smiled a little bitterly.

"How did this happen?"

"Grandmother's birthday is just a few days away."

Hua Long nodded and held Feng Changqi's little hand tightly, "If you meet Princess Zhao now, you have to be more cautious than before." ”

Feng Changqi was silent, and silently took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms.

"Auntie, these are for you to take care of."

"How did you get this?" Hua Long's eyes were wide open, she had never seen such silver tickets in her lifetime, even if the Hua family had not declined, she had never seen so many.

Feng Changqi chuckled lowly.

"Didn't you forget? At the beginning, Uncle Yuan found me a good piece of land, and now the money is making money every day, and these are nothing. ”

Hua Long's smile grew, this little girl knows how to be flexible.

Up and down the palace, if there is no money to pay for, even if those people don't say anything on their faces, they won't do their best to help with things.

Money can make ghosts grind, that's the truth.

"Ah Niang, just take it, now the people of Yukun Palace are proud. A-Niang is pregnant, so she should be more cautious than usual. King Yun went to Suiyun City to quell the chaos, and his father comforted Concubine Xi, which is also a common thing, why did A-Niang gamble with her body? What is the reason for not eating or drinking? ”

Hua Long is sincere to Emperor Feng, and she is a person with a true temperament, she can't stand it, and she is sad.

"If you want to bring down Concubine Xi, you have a long way to go." Feng Changqi looked at Hua Long's haggard face, "My aunt was also victimized by Xi Yu at the beginning, I will definitely not let her go." ”

Feng Changqi rarely mentions his biological life in such a blatant manner, thinking about what troubles he has to worry about in the near future.

"When the meal comes, why don't you eat some? I'm with my mother, huh? ”

Coaxed like this by a female doll, Hua Long only felt that she was very faceless for a while, and the faces of other countries held back the tears in her eyes.

"According to your meaning," Hua Long took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from Feng Changqi's forehead, "What is it a daughter's family, running around outside every day, tired of it?" ”

"It's much better than being in the palace." Feng Changqi lowered his little head, and after a while, Feng Changqi thought of something again, suddenly raised his head, and said to Hua Long: "A-Niang, even if my father is here in the future, I have to find a reason to let my father go elsewhere." ”
