13, return

There have been two major events in the capital recently. Of course, one was the death of the sixth prince. The emperor ordered the ban on all entertainment activities within three days, which made those brothels and restaurants lose a lot, and also made the latter big event more expected.

The Hongxiu Building and Tianxiang Pavilion were bought by a mysterious figure more than a month ago. The renovation of the backyard has been completed, and a beautiful courtyard has been built, named Hongxiu Tianxiangxuan. A news came from the empress on both sides. When Hongxiu Tianxiangxuan opened, a peerless beauty would appear in this building and play a song for the guests who came to congratulate. This beauty is good at playing guzheng and has excellent skills, but she has a rule that she only receives one guest into her embroidery building every day to listen to her play. In addition to allowing everyone to enjoy a song on the opening day, she will never play in public again. The pupang also said in particular that this beautiful woman only exchanged poems, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting with the guests, and would never receive guests or receive any gifts. The guests who can talk to her every day can only be designated by her. If there is no person she like, she will not receive them. If the guests want to talk to her, they must first show her a talent before she can choose the guests among the guests.

This style is simply a little better than the most popular flower leader, especially that she still only communicates with each other and doesn't sell herself at all. She can become her guest of the curtain, except to show that she is really talented. However, this false reputation makes those sons and brothers who are self-respectingly talented in the capital crazy about it, and they have to show off at this kind of event.

Because of the death of the sixth prince, the opening date of Hongxiu Tianxiangxuan was delayed for half a month and was set for the Laba Festival.

Gaopeng Restaurant opposite Tianxiang Pavilion is also one of the best places in the capital. At this moment, in a small elegant seat on the second floor, Zhong Zicheng is drinking a little wine, with his feet up, looking comfortable.

As soon as the curtain was picked up, a beautiful woman came in and said to Zhong Zicheng, "I was ordered to come here and have seen General Zhong."

"The girl is polite." Although the other party was just a maidservant, Zhong Zicheng did not dare to neglect him. He quickly hugged his fist and said, "Your Highness, what can I ask?"

"My young lady just asked me to come and ask the general how the bet with my cousin is going." The pendant stood up straight, neither humble nor arrogant.

Zhong Zicheng nodded and said, "My cousin has made a bet with me, and my father will testify. If he participates in the scientific examination next fall, even if he loses, he will work with me for the seventh prince. If I lose, I will find three hundred-year-old wine for him.

"It's the best. My young lady said that the general doesn't have to worry about losing. If the general loses, no matter what you want to lose in your bet, she will double compensate you." The pendant always stood by the door and replied.

Zhong Zicheng said with a wry smile, "In this way, I can't wait for my cousin to lose, so that I can earn three jars of good wine."

"Since the bet has been made, it's not up to you or your cousin to win or lose." There was an indescribable self-confidence in her tone, saying, "My young lady has never failed in what she wants to do."

Zhong Zicheng couldn't help but accept this powerful county magist, as if she could have whatever she wanted. Even the emperor wanted to depose the prince, but there was no reason not enough determination. Under her secret promotion, she also successfully made the prince an idle man and reflected on the wall every day.

The pendant did not stay in the restaurant for much. After giving a salute to Zhong Zicheng, she left.

Zhong Zicheng was alone in the elegant seat, looking at Hongxiu Tianxiangxuan, who could not be seen at all through Tianxiang Pavilion. He whispered to himself, "Junjun is really a big deal. You must have bought this Hongxiu Building and Tianxiang Pavilion. That Hongxiu Tianxiangxuan must also be your handwriting, but I don't know what game you have set up. , attracted my cousin to the hook, the so-called peerless beauty, can't it be you.

At the same time, there was a big earthquake in Prince Qian's mansion. Prince Qian moved hundreds of catties of Bai Ling rice from Cheng Yuanjia, so the children and grandchildren who smelled the fragrance lay at the table of Prince Qian and his wife with their eyes. As a last resort, the old couple could only bear the pain and give the cooked rice to their children and grandchildren. Although Cheng Yuanjia did not limit how many meters they took, it was absolutely not good to ask for rice into the pot. They originally wanted to eat by themselves. This hundred catties was enough for them to eat for two months. Unfortunately, the rice was too fragrant. They didn't have the means for Cheng Yuanjia to put the fragrance around and not to spread it out, which resulted in this thousand. The rare situation of children and grandchildren collectively begging for food from the two elders.

The two elders kept their promise to Cheng Yuanjia. Although their children and grandchildren wanted to know the origin of this meter, the old couple just clenched their teeth and didn't say anything. However, it is also the blessing of this rice that the whole family will eat together during the Spring Festival. It is staged one after another, so that the old couple who were originally eating alone really enjoyed the fun of their children and grandchildren.

The same situation happened in the Cheng family, but the situation was not exaggerated. Cheng Yuhang was originally alone in the capital, and his only daughter also lived in Prince Qian's Mansion and did not live with him. The Cheng family also had two people who served in the court, all of whom were lower than his official positions and usually did not have much contact. Therefore, in the whole Cheng family, he was alone. Except for the loneliness of just arriving in the capital and holding a concubine, he didn't even have a person to talk to. After Cheng Yuanjia sent someone to send some white rice to his father, Cheng Yuhang fell in love with it as soon as he ate it. The two ethnic groups also smelled the fragrance. Unfortunately, their relationship was not good enough to ask Cheng Yuhang for it, so they could only go away.

Cheng Yuhang didn't know where his daughter got this strange rice, but his daughter has always been very mysterious, and he is used to it. And his daughter has good things and wants to be filial to himself, and he is already very satisfied.

After the seventh prince fainted in the mourning hall, after the treatment of the royal doctor and a full rest, he woke up that night. The king of Qi scolded his impulse fiercely, but he also knew that his younger brother was too affectionate and not too strict with him.

After the first seven of the sixth princes, he put it into the ancestral temple of Zongzheng Temple according to the ancestral system. This was the matter of the king of Qi. There was nothing wrong with the seventh prince. When the seventh prince saw that his body was almost recovered, he said goodbye to his father and brother back to Minzhou.

The last time the seventh prince went out, he took more than 400 people with him. This time, he was very worried about the king of Qi, but most of the masters around him were left in Minzhou by the seventh prince, and he really couldn't send anyone around him. Prince Qian was also very worried, especially knowing that King Wu was murderous to the seventh prince, and he was even more worried that he would go back to Minzhou alone. When he came, it was a temporary decision, and he ran 5,000 miles in three days and nights, and no matter how fast the killer was, he couldn't catch up. That's all. Now he is leaving. With so many eyes in the capital, how many killers will be sent?

However, Prince Qian quickly received rumors from Cheng Yuanjia, which reassured him that she would secretly return to Minzhou with the seventh prince. With her, a fairy-like person, no matter how many killers are protected, they can only be captured, and maybe they can bring them a lot of new evidence.

Therefore, Prince Qian finally persuaded the king of Qi and agreed to let the seventh prince go back to Minzhou alone. The king of Qi heard that he would send another peerless master to guard him secretly, so he didn't say anything more. Although he didn't know where Prince Qian's so-called peerless master was, when he saw his confident appearance, he knew that he would never hurt his brother, so he didn't insist on it.

Three days later, the seventh prince still rode the last night lion he changed when he entered Beijing and set out for Minzhou. The moment he stepped out of the gate, in the gate on the other side, a team of more than a dozen people also went out of the city and marched south.

After sending a thousand-person team to intercept and kill the seven princes, the king of Wu immediately went to northern Xinjiang, where only the five princes were still left. After learning the specific departure time of the seventh prince, he couldn't wait to find the confidant of the king of Wu who stayed in the capital and arranged another group of killers. The previous thousand-person team sent by King Wu mysteriously disappeared, which was very difficult for him to understand, but the only surviving scout sent to inquire. When he returned to the report, he found that all the people had disappeared. The scout carefully checked the horseshoe seal and followed the horseshoe seal forward, but under normal circumstances, all the people seemed to stop, and then all the people and horses disappeared. There is no suspicious environment around. The vision is wide, the ground is flat, and there is not even a trace of blood on the ground. It can be said that it is completely missing. The fifth prince who heard the news shouted ghosts, and he really couldn't explain the disappearance of these people.
