22. The first confidant
"Ha ha!"
Chen Lang laughed loudly.
Yu Mufei! It turns out that Xiaoyu's name is Yu Mufei! She is willing to be a scholar and a girl from Tongfang on the surface, but in fact, her beliefs in her heart are always burning.
Her favorite thing is to see the red fish that jumped out of the water and flew into the air. Isn’t that fish Mufei herself?
Chen Lang used his arms to hold Yu Mufei tighter.
The two looked forward silently, and the red fish flew here and there under the sun.
"Why did you give me two pills today?" Chen Lang asked in a low voice.
"Your Highness asked me to take it?" Yu Mufei asked in surprise.
"Have you ever seen the prince in the palace before?" Chen Lang continued to ask.
"I've seen it. I was probably only five years old at that time. Your Highness, you should be five or six years old. I remember that Your Highness was sitting on the ground crying, feeling worried about the eunuchs and palace maids next to you." Yu Mufei recalled the past.
this……
Listening to Yu Mufei's tone, she completely regarded me as the true prince of Liang Guo! Chen Lang pressed Yu Mufei's jade legs: "You first saw the prince when you were five years old, and the second time you saw the prince was on the bed of the East Palace."
"Yes, I can remember clearly only these two times. Why did Your Highness ask these?" Yu Mufei was very confused.
"Do you know who I am?" Chen Lang murmured in Yu Mufei's ears.
Hearing this, Yu Mufei bounced up his body suddenly, and in an instant, he actually escaped from Chen Lang's arm. She turned her body and said in a trembling voice: "Why is Your Highness saying this? Is it..."
Chen Lang covered the scar on his left forehead with one hand, and made a gesture to cut his hair short with the other hand: "At one night, you met in the corridor of Wanhe Palace..."
He deliberately did not say all of this sentence.
Yu Mufei was confused!
It took a long time to say in a terror: "No wonder some things I always feel are inexplicable. It turns out that you are not the real Prince of Liang."
"Shh!"
Chen Lang hurriedly made a gesture of silence. He stood up and took Yu Mufei's hand: "Eunuch Liu told me that if the truth is revealed, there will only be two consequences: I die, or the person who knows the truth will die. So I can only talk about this. Don't mention the guess just now to anyone in the future."
Yu Mufei nodded vigorously, tears flowing down her cheeks. She took the initiative to hold Chen Lang's hand tightly: "If my guess was right just now, that would be great!"
Chen Lang suddenly felt sore in his nose: "I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to listen to first?"
"Good news!" Yu Mufei said without hesitation.
Chen Lang was full of affection: "Actually, I also have a guess in my heart, and you proved that my guess was not wrong. For us, it is undoubtedly good news!"
The guess he mentioned was that Yu Mufei was not on the list of nine people. It is confirmed now, of course it is good.
Although Yu Mufei didn't understand what Chen Lang said specifically, she still nodded slightly. Anyway, she vaguely knew that Chen Lang must have suspected something, and after the previous test, Chen Lang's suspicion was dispelled.
"So do you still have to listen to bad news?" Chen Lang was funny.
"I learn from Your Highness, only listen to good news but not bad news." Yu Mufei raised his eyebrows.
"Then I will learn from you. Although others don't want to listen, they still have to say it." Chen Lang continued to be funny.
"Tell me." Yu Mufei raised his chin. The tears that had not dried were so beautiful.
"The bad news is that you have guessed something, so I definitely can't let you go. Since we met in the corridor of Wanhe Hall late that night, we were destined to be bound. I quietly told you that I will fly out of the water and into the air like that red fish! I don't believe in any bullshit fate. I want to counterattack, but this counterattack..."
Chen Lang paused: "You should guess that my counterattack is a crime for Liang Guo."
Yu Mufei was stunned after hearing this, then gently wiped the tears that had just flowed out of the corners of his eyes and said with a smile: "As Your Highness said, then I am accomplice. If this happens, is it considered to be a pull me into the gang?"
Chen Lang snapped his fingers towards the sky and looked at the beauty's eyes. Chen Lang said with a sonorous word: "Yu Mufei, you are my first confidant."
...
King Jing set the game time at 3:00 pm. In this gap between, Chen Lang decided to go shopping with Yu Mufei and go to Qianbaiwei Restaurant run by Ding Xu's house for a tooth sacrifice.
Since Mu Fei joins the group, it is really necessary to have a meal.
Chen Lang knew that Zhong Ping hid the silver in a place he thought was safe, took it out quietly, and then walked out of the door with Yu Mufei, and told the servants who were guarding the door that they would not come back for lunch.
Two taels of silver.
It sounds less, but this is enough for an ordinary family to spend a month on living expenses. The salary of those small officials in Xu State who do not earn the ninth rank is about two taels per month, and at most some subsidies for food and cloth are added.
In this other world, one tael of silver equals ten coins equals one thousand ci. Calculated by one cigarette of vegetarian dishes, one tael of silver can buy one thousand vegetarian dishes.
Qianbaiwei's food was pretty good, and the service was also considerate. After eating, there was still one or six coins left. The money was enough to buy Yu Mufei's beautiful clothes, but Chen Lang did not buy it, and Yu Mufei didn't have that idea either.
Chen Lang did this because he was worried that if Zhong Ping pursued the loss of silver, he would have to pursue Chen Lang. But if Yu Mufei suddenly had a new piece of clothing, she might have suffered as well.
...
“Ye~Ye~”
There was already a carriage waiting in front of the prince's mansion. Chen Lang walked into the mansion, picked up the sachet given by Ding Xu, and then left the mansion at the same time as Yin Baichuan and Chao Qing.
As usual, Yin Baichuan drove a spacious carriage, Chao Qing followed him, and Chen Lang was swaying in the carriage.
After arriving at King Jing's Mansion, Yin Baichuan escorted Chen Lang to the venue of today's game. Then he entered the room and actually drank tea leisurely in the shaded room and kneaded melon seeds.
This bastard!
Last time, if you say that you will go to King Jing’s Mansion again, then Chen Lang will play with Chen Lang and he will play with him. Unexpectedly, the foolish man Yin Baichuan did what he said!
Can I really only wake up after being killed by Zhaofenger Kanshen?
asshole!
Chen Lang was so angry that he didn't even get angry that something was wrong on his face.
"What?" the third princess came over and asked. Her tone was relatively gentle today, not as fierce as before.
"Nothing." Chen Lang said as he pulled into his pocket, "It's good that you are here. This sachet was asked by a friend of mine to give it to you."
After finishing his talk, Chen Lang handed the exquisite sachet to the third princess.
"Which friend are you?" The third princess took the sachet and asked in surprise.
"I am a friend who doesn't want to be named." Chen Lang scratched his head awkwardly.
Cut ~
You are a native of Liang and have just arrived in Huaining, the capital of Xu. Where did you get any friends? If you want to give me something, just give it to me. Why do you still use the name of a friend?
The third princess raised her eyebrows and smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take this gift."
Chapter completed!
