Chapter 368 Go to Prince Rong's Mansion to see Liang Siqi
After staying in He Zhigao for less than two quarters of an hour, Lu Fang left, led the horse out of Ningyuan, and then rode towards Tanzhou City.
No matter how crazy he is, he has been to Tanzhou so many times that he is already familiar with the roads.
In an hour, we arrived in Tanzhou.
It’s better to go to Dengke Bookstore to find Xu Zhen.
However, Xu Zhen was not in the bookstore this time. The boy working in the bookstore said that shopkeeper Xu went to Kuizhou County on a long trip and it would take more than a month to return.
Lu Fang couldn't help but ask what Xu Zhen was doing.
The boy said that the shopkeeper planned to open a Dengke bookstore in Kuizhou County Fucheng.
Yo.
His BESTORE store has not yet opened a chain store, but Xu Zhen is expanding his Dengke Bookstore first.
Lu Fang originally wanted Xu Zhen to invite Liang Dong and Liang Siqi, but now there is no chance.
After leaving Dengke Bookstore, I could only go to Prince Rong's Mansion with a bit of guilty conscience.
On the way, I told myself that I came to discuss business with Crown Prince Liang Dong and had nothing to do with Princess Liang Siqi.
After asking for directions several times, we found the gate of Prince Rong's Mansion at the foot of the mountain. Even though Lu Fang was used to seeing high-rise buildings in his previous life, he couldn't help but be surprised by the grandeur of the civil engineering of Prince Rong's Mansion.
This is probably the best construction technology of this era.
The door was guarded by a dozen armor-clad soldiers.
Seeing Lu Fang approaching, he already showed some signs of wariness.
This made Lu Fang dare not step up the steps. He said at the bottom of the steps: "Ningyuan Lu Fang asks to see His Highness the Crown Prince. Please pass the message on my behalf."
Several soldiers standing in front of him looked surprised.
There are not many people who come to visit Prince Rong's Mansion every day, but there are always a few. And Xiang Lu Fang is absolutely unique.
What is Ningyuan Lu Fang?
Are there any big shots in Ningyuan?
Even though he is the magistrate of Ningyuan County, he is not qualified to enter the gate of Prince Rong's Mansion.
But they were not rude to Lu Fang. One of the soldiers said: "His Royal Highness is not in the palace now, please come back!"
Lu Fang was slightly stunned, "Where has your Royal Highness gone?"
Isn’t Liang Dong here too?
But the soldiers ignored him.
Lu Fang had to ask again: "What about Your Highness the Princess?"
The leading soldier frowned, "The princess usually doesn't see guests."
Why does this guy want to meet everyone?
Yet he is so ignorant of etiquette.
If you want to see the princess and the crown prince, you have to show your identity at least!
Lu Fang now had some taste for it, and said: "Brother, please tell me that Lu Fang wants to see you. If Your Highness the Princess does not see me, I will leave on my own."
This was said quite confidently, which surprised the soldiers.
After being dubious, someone still walked inside.
Nearly twenty minutes passed before the soldier came out with a look of disbelief on his face.
The other soldiers looked at him.
Being a gatekeeper in Prince Rong's Mansion is actually quite a boring job. Today, they were quite amused by the fact that Leng Touqing asked to see the princess.
And then, everyone's eyes widened.
Princess Liang Siqi appeared at the door wearing a light green dress.
She wears a simple bun with her hair parted, but wears a sparkling necklace on her chest.
That is to say, Her Royal Highness the Princess's natural beauty is able to control such an outfit.
Lu Fang couldn't help but lose consciousness.
When Liang Siqi saw him, a smile appeared on her face, "Why are you here?"
Lu Fang finally came back to his senses, looked at the soldiers next to him, and said sarcastically: "Come and talk to His Royal Highness about the wine shop."
Liang Siqi's smile grew wider, "But my younger brother went to school at Bahuang Martial Arts Academy."
Lu Fang couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
It turns out that Liang Dong is also from Bahuang Martial Arts Academy?
Is this guy actually a general?
He just heard about it.
Then he raised his hands to Liang Siqi and said, "Then may I ask, Your Highness the Princess, when will Your Highness the Crown Prince come back?"
In a polite manner.
But there was nothing he could do about it. He didn't dare to show that he was too close and familiar with Liang Siqi when outsiders were around.
This seemed to amuse Liang Siqi. She couldn't help but smile on her face. She covered her mouth and said, "It will be in the evening."
The soldiers were already dumbfounded.
It is true that Her Highness the Princess is approachable, but that is limited to the fact that when servants in the palace give her a gift, she will respond with a gentle nod. She is not cold-faced towards everyone.
But has Her Royal Highness the Princess ever been so "friendly" to people outside the palace?
Still a man!
Lu Fang bowed again and said: "Then please tell Your Highness the Crown Prince that I will host a banquet for him at Feixian Tower in the evening."
"Feixian Tower?"
Liang Siqi frowned.
Lu Fang was a little embarrassed, "I only know about Feixian Tower."
He originally wanted to ask Liang Dong if there was a suitable restaurant, but he didn't expect that Liang Dong was not in Prince Rong's Mansion. If he had known this, he would have found a reliable restaurant on the street and then came to Prince Rong's Mansion.
"Pfft."
Liang Siqi smiled again and said, "Let's go to Hongfu Tower, the food there is pretty good."
"become."
Lu Fang nodded.
Then, there was sudden silence.
Liang Siqi looked back at the palace of Prince Rong, pursed her lips again, and licked the black hair beside her ears.
This is really not the place to talk.
Lu Fang coughed twice and said awkwardly: "Your Highness, then I...will take my leave first?"
Liang Siqi nodded, "Go!"
He smiled at Lu Fang Yanran and turned around to go back home.
Lu Fang was stunned for two seconds, then turned and left.
…
Xu Zhen was not at Dengke Bookstore, only his family members were there, and Lu Fang was too embarrassed to go eat and drink. He could only wander around in Tanzhou City.
Before I knew it, I walked to the street along the river.
Even during the day, it is quite lively.
Lu Fang sat down at the stinky tofu stall where he and Liang Siqi had eaten, and said to the stall owner: "Two portions of stinky tofu."
"Okay! Just wait!"
The stall owner obviously no longer remembers Lu Fang.
Lu Fang didn't take it seriously and just tilted his head to watch the majestic waves of the Xiang River.
Passenger ships shuttled among the waves, welcoming and transporting guests from both sides of the river.
Within two minutes, a dirty little boy came up to him and said, "Good man, please give me some charity... Grandpa and I haven't eaten in two days."
Lu Fang withdrew his gaze and fell on the little boy's face.
He is as skinny as a stick, with deep-set eye sockets. The original color on his face is almost invisible.
"well……"
The stall owner opened his mouth, intending to scold the child and leave, but then he caught a glimpse of a gray-haired old man lying on the ground not far away, and finally just sighed softly.
The old man would bring different children out to beg every day. There were more than ten children in total. As time went by, they were unable to give alms.
After all, they are just running a small business and have to support their families.
Lu Fang looked in the direction of the child's finger and saw the old man lying on the ground.
chuckle.
Let alone the child, this old man is really unprofessional!
You are here to beg after all, so you should pretend to be pitiful, right?
This old man is quite nice. He is lying on the ground, but he is secretly picking at his own crotch.
