Chapter 188 This king is obliged to take care of the Ming concubine
Xu Anan ordered two tables of dishes, one for herself, one for Yao Zhuoyu, Mu Qing, Mu Yi, and Jia Ying.
When other diners in the store saw it, they called her "good guy, this girl can really eat." Only Yao Zhuoyu and others thought it was too normal. This was Xu Anan's normal food intake.
They were only halfway through eating when they suddenly saw everyone in the store running out.
"His Royal Highness Prince An has entered Qingping County! Go and greet him quickly."
Mu Qingmu also looked at each other. Yao Zhuoyu stopped his chopsticks and said in surprise: "His Royal Highness Prince An returned to Beijing with his army so quickly."
At this time, there are still five days until November.
Xu Anan paused with the chopsticks in his hand, "Wang An, Cheng Si."
"Have you heard? His Highness Prince An will stay in Qingping County for a few days this time."
"I heard that he arrived first. The army is still behind. He still has to wait for the army behind."
"It's great, I can have a glimpse of His Royal Highness Prince An."
"..."
Whispering chatter gradually arose around him. Xu Anan finished all the food on the table before rubbing his belly with satisfaction.
From Xu Anan's perspective, he could only see a man wearing a brown gold embroidered unicorn pattern sitting on a horse. As for his face, the man disappeared before Xu Anan could see clearly.
The people were enthusiastic, and the most numerous were the unmarried girls, who simply chased Cheng Si's horses, followed by thousands of soldiers, and the momentum was magnificent.
Yao Zhuoyu walked in: "I haven't seen you for three years, His Royal Highness An Wang is still as handsome and extraordinary as ever. Just now, I saw Zhou Zicheng personally went to greet him. There should be a banquet tonight. Miss, if you come back just in time, Zhou Zicheng will definitely come to invite you."
Yours.”
At this time, Xu Anan was thinking about a question, and she was a little solemn: "Why should I just stay at home and have a meal when I come, so why would Prince An throw a banquet when he comes? Double standard! Zhou Zi becomes his double standard!"
Yao Zhuoyu: "..."
"He is a prince, and his identity lies there after all...Mother, let's be patient..."
Xu Anan: "..."
She couldn't bear to be so arrogant. There was a banquet tonight, right? She would eat as much as she could.
What's wrong with the prince? Her backer is the current emperor!
"His Royal Highness Prince An should have entered the Zhou Mansion. Madam, do you want to go and have a look?"
Xu Anan shook his head: "I'll go back in the afternoon. I'm going to visit Qingping County now."
If Xu Anan didn't go, Yao Zhuoyu had to go and say hello. He followed Xu Anan to the Zhou Mansion, and Jia Ying followed Xu Anan like a dog.
Mu Qing took Mu Yi's arm and frowned slightly: "His Royal Highness Prince An did not go directly to Beijing but stopped in Qingping County. I have to send a message to the master about this. You go and follow the empress to protect her safety."
This is Xu Anan's third day in Qingping County. There is nothing interesting in Qingping County, but Xu Anan's appearance attracts more attention.
Under Zhou Zicheng's management, Qingping County was also in good order. She went to a roadside stall to buy fried chestnuts and chestnut cake, planning to take them back to Zhou's house to eat slowly.
It was afternoon in a blink of an eye, and Xu Anan guessed that the banquet had already been held.
She had just finished thinking when Zhou Xiaobo came to look for her: "Miss, my father has prepared a banquet. Please move to the Golden Lotus Terrace, where the banquet will be held."
"On the ship?"
Zhou Xiaobo smiled honestly: "On the flower boat."
"Is this place you're talking about serious?"
Zhou Xiaobo thought about the Yingying Yanyan on that boat and coughed lightly: "It should be serious..."
When Xu Anan returned to Zhou Mansion, there were majestic soldiers in armor standing guard outside. They were different from ordinary government officials. They were more bloody and more awe-inspiring.
The soldiers did not know Xu An'an, but after hearing what Yao Zhuoyu said, there was also a palace concubine in Qingping County. When they saw this heroic woman in front of them, they all saluted: "I will finally meet Concubine Ming."
"Generals, there is no need to be polite. Is His Royal Highness Prince An inside?" Xu Anan asked.
The leading general shook his head: "Your Highness Prince An went to the Golden Lotus Pond and was not in the palace."
Xu Anan returned to his guest room and found that someone was staying in the room next door.
Zhou Xiaobo explained: "Miss, since all the guest rooms in the mansion are full, I have placed His Highness Prince An next door to you. Don't worry, miss, there is a small corridor across the mansion and there are maids and servants guarding him."
Xu Anan didn't think it mattered: "Nothing, he is the emperor's younger brother. If possible, I can still take care of him."
Zhou Xiaobo breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll wait for you outside the house."
Jinliantai is a relatively good place to visit in Qingping County, and you can also hold banquets. There is a lake planted with water lilies, but now that winter is coming, the lake has become a bare area, with three or two boats parked on it and beautifully decorated.
The painting boat.
Because of Cheng Si's arrival, officials from nearby counties and counties came to greet him, and there were all beautiful women coming in and out of the boat.
Their faces were bright red, and they were holding trays with wine bottles in their hands. The water-red gauze outside the boat was swaying, covering the people talking and laughing inside. For a moment, it didn't look like a banquet, but rather the atmosphere of a romantic place.
Xu Anan hesitated for a moment. Before she could think about it, Yao Zhuoyu opened the small door and poked her head out of the boat: "Ming Fei, I'm waiting for you. Come quickly."
Yao Zhuoyu came to invite him, and Xu Anan straightened his back and stepped on the ladder to get on the boat.
As we got closer, we realized that the boat was very large and could accommodate hundreds of people. When the veil was lifted, there was singing and dancing inside, and there were about four or five officials wearing official robes inside.
In the middle is a dancer dancing with bare feet and wearing gauze. The man directly above is sitting in an uninhibited posture. He is holding a wine bottle in one hand, leaning on a chair, with one leg slightly bent, and shaking the bottle with his drooping hand.
He raised his head, his face was handsome and charming, with a faint smile on his lips, and his eyes passed over the dancer's body with deep interest.
Finally, he settled on Xu An'an at the door of the boat. His smile became even bigger, and finally even his narrow eyes were stained with smile, and his words were particularly cold: "Ming Fei, come in and sit down when you are here."
Xu Anan's eyes widened slightly, what the hell... the bastard that night was King An Cheng Si?
Her lost memory was about Cheng Si. Now she can't remember anything. Cheng Si was a stranger to Xu An'an, but judging from his red eyes that day, the Xu An'an was here with Cheng Si.
, there is a story between them.
Xu Anan already wanted to leave, subconsciously she didn't want to have too much contact with Cheng Si.
"Come here, please bring in Concubine Ming. I am not here. As his good brother, I have the obligation to take care of his concubine for him. What do you think?"
Cheng Si spoke carelessly and with a touch of laziness.
