The bustling crowd was huge and crowded. After the palace women's polo team passed by in a slightly embarrassed and hasty manner, the lively lion dance team arrived again.
Accompanied by gongs, drums and suona, lion dance always gives people a particularly lively feeling, and it also evokes many pictures in Qin Shouan's mind.
Especially when he saw a little girl wearing a red lion-awakening wool hat, who thought she was being held in the hands of an elder in a very majestic manner, the corners of Qin Shou'an's mouth turned up unconsciously.
Looking at the vivid and lifelike big lion head, he suddenly discovered a problem. In fact, there was no lion of any kind thriving in the New Qin Continent.
However, lions can be seen everywhere in front of houses, temples and Taoist temples, on the walls and corners.
Many painters who have painted countless lions and craftsmen who have carved countless stone lions may have never seen a living lion in their lives.
For most people, there is no difference between this thing and a mythical creature.
It is said that the appearance of lions on this continent originated from the fleets of Western countries encountered on the previous Yunzhou voyage route. A man named Prince Andrei claimed to be from the distant Sakuraland Empire, where there is magical magic.
, long history, splendid culture.
The name of the empire made the Yunzhou fleet laugh out loud, and his introduction to the Sakuralan Empire was also regarded as boasting.
Even so, the military commander of the Yunzhou Dynasty still gave them some shipbuilding information for them to take back home - because Prince Andrei's flagship looked like a toy in front of the Yunzhou fleet.
Prince Andrei couldn't come up with anything that the other party would appreciate in return, so he had to offer some lions that the people of Yunzhou were very interested in.
It’s also an interesting history.
Thinking about all this, Qin Shouan hugged Huaiyu habitually.
There were too many people around, and many men were so protective of the women and children around them. Huaiyu didn't feel shy at all, and felt sweet in her heart.
She looks at him from time to time, and from time to time she notices if anyone is laughing at her.
What made her a little regretful was that when she turned slightly sideways, it was impossible for her heart to beat close to him like an ordinary woman.
There is nothing we can do about this. Normally, I dislike myself for being too plump. Fortunately, today at noon, I proved that the young prince does not dislike me, and Huaiyu no longer feels so inferior.
At the same time, she noticed that the dishes cooked in the village were also dishes that nourished Qi and nourished the kidneys, such as sea cucumber, abalone, etc. Men had many benefits from eating them.
This is probably because the villagers think that Huaiyu and the young prince did something upstairs, which consumed a lot of the young prince's kidney energy, so they need to replenish it.
A woman of her age has already developed the Qiqiao Exquisite Heart, and quietly does some things that need to be done.
A mature woman like Cunli Qiao must be right about how to nourish a man. Huaiyu kept it in mind. But just because the young prince actually has abundant kidney energy, he cannot neglect to nourish him in the future. He must continue to keep an eye on it.
That’s it.
The young prince will definitely have many women in the future. I hope they know how to save.
"Little prince, there is a medical clinic in Riyueshan in Longyin City. Do you think they sell Cantonese ginseng there?" Hei Ji described the effects of Cantonese ginseng, which Huaiyu never forgot.
"I let you go at noon, but you started to doubt me again, right?" Qin Shou'an Gu's fire surged violently, and he was so angry, if he hadn't been on the street...
"No, no!" Huaiyu shrank his shoulders in fear, but couldn't help but chuckle.
"But why does Riyue Mountain still have a medical clinic in Longyin City? Are they practicing martial arts, or are they preparing to accumulate various resources and fame to plot the world?"
Qin Shou'an is a little wary of this sect. From the situation at Dr. Xu's Medical Clinic, it can be seen that the medical clinic is really good at attracting and attracting people's hearts.
Although it seems that the people in Riyue Mountain he has contacted seem to be pretty good, and the relationship between Riyue Mountain and the palace is good, but what if they are just playing with evolution and infiltration... Then something will really happen.
Whatever happened, the royal family may not still be the royal family.
He hoped that he had thought too much and it was not his turn to investigate Riyue Mountain now, but it still felt necessary to remain vigilant.
"Aren't Heiji and Baiji also from Riyue Mountain? These two adults are quite good. Last night, when they and I were the only ones left..."
Huaiyu quickly closed his mouth and took a peek at the "ferocious" expression of the young prince, and couldn't help but want to beg for mercy, "Ugh..."
"Hey, you guys, what are you talking nonsense about again?" He just whined and was interrupted by Qin Shouan.
Huaiyu touched his head and held one of Qin Shouan's arms tightly:
"I didn't say anything, but Lady Bai Ji was already sure... No, she had already misunderstood the young prince that your kidney energy was insufficient, so she felt that when she and her sister were in the hot springs, even if they didn't wear anything, you would still use them
There is no way..."
Qin Shou'an pursed his lips and nodded. He was already certain that as long as these women believed that he had insufficient kidney energy, he could also conclude that they all had low IQs.
"Look at how I will deal with them next time they come to the hot springs. What else did they say to you?"
"Sir Bai Ji said she is a veteran of Fengyue... What can she teach me..."
"Forget it, don't learn from her. I'll teach you later." Can he let Bai Ji take over? This Bai Ji really has nothing to do. Why not come to Haitang Chunwu to play games more often? He will still welcome her. Thinking about the ignorant Huaiyu again, progressing with him, what a positive and healthy growth this is, while Bai Ji will only lead people astray.
Qin Shouan chatted with her all the way, then went to Wangxie Fengyue Tower and bought some delicious snacks on the restaurant street. As a result, he met Gui Lingpeng and a group of young and middle-aged men sitting on the first floor, with several tables spread out.
Together, there is a table filled with wine and meat, and they are eating and drinking in a lively atmosphere.
This is a bit strange. With Gui Lingpeng's family background and his status as the commander in front of Guixianren Palace, even if he doesn't occupy the second floor, he still needs at least a pavilion, right?
The other guests on the first floor consciously stayed away from them. Only those idlers who relied on the guests to make a living gathered around and asked for help. It is usually difficult to meet such generous and wealthy guests on the first floor. p>
Gui Lingpeng was in high spirits, with one foot on a stool and one hand holding a bottle of wine to drink to others. When he saw Qin Shouan and Huaiyu, he called out his identity.
When Qin Shouan walked to the Nanhuai River, she brought the group of men over to see her.
The oldest of these men is a strong middle-aged man with surging vitality, and the youngest is in his twenties, in his prime.
Gui Lingpeng gave a brief introduction. These are her six uncles and thirteen cousins, as well as a senior uncle and three senior brothers.
Qin Shouan was stunned for a moment.
This is homecoming!
This is the strength of returning home.
Old Mrs. Gui is really good at giving birth to sons... No, the whole Gui family is really good at giving birth to sons, but Gui Xianren, an outlier, gave birth to a daughter.
He didn't even need to investigate the martial arts levels of these uncles, brothers, and seniors. They were all tall, thick, and round. Even ordinary people standing together would be enough to bluff people.
"Are you the only girl returning home?" Qin Shouan lowered his voice to confirm.
Gui Lingpeng nodded proudly.
Qin Shou'an was secretly glad that fortunately Fo Bole did not provoke Guiling Gao when she was a child, otherwise she and these cousins would be able to completely wipe out Fo Bole.
She is quite happy, but Fang Zhishan... Generally speaking, if there are so many uncles and brothers in the natal family, they will also walk sideways in the husband's family, and even the prime minister will not dare to say a harsh word to her.
No wonder she was whining like a scumbag in the Prime Minister's Mansion. When she saw Qin Shou'an, she dared to whip out her whip to show off her three-legged cat skills even though she knew his identity.
At that time, Qin Shou'an only knew that she was the daughter of Gui Xianren and that Gui Jia was powerful, but he never expected that "there is strength in numbers" in the literal sense.
If he had met her backstage staff earlier, Qin Shou'an promised not to slap her chest.
"Are you all martial arts masters here?" Qin Shouan looked at them.
"Except for me, the lowest one is my third junior brother, who is just at the seventh level." Gui Lingpeng said in a tone of hatred that iron cannot be transformed into steel.
The third junior brother blushed and looked ashamed.
Qin Shouan glanced at Gui Lingpeng a few times, and Gui Lingpeng looked at him for no apparent reason.
Qin Shou'an gave up. She felt extremely good about herself. Apparently, she didn't even realize that she, a sixth-grade master, had no right to look down on a young seventh-grade master.
"With so many martial arts masters gathered together, have you reported to the Jiuzhou Prefecture?" Qin Shouan said businesslikely.
"Your Majesty, our family members are drinking together, what should we report? When we go home, do we have to report to Jiuzhou Prefecture every day how many people have returned from our family?"
Gui Lingpeng felt perplexed, because after witnessing Qin Shou'an's majesty last night, Gui Lingpeng was not angry and asked back very politely.
"Reporting to the crown prince, because our family members would probably be called pretentious by the gentlemen of Jiuzhou Mansion if we really reported it. But if we didn't report it, we felt that something had happened that was difficult to explain, so we chose to have a drink on the first floor of Wang Xie Fengyue Building.
A few drinks, after all, there are gentlemen from Jiuzhou Prefecture on duty here."
Gui Lingpeng's uncle pulled Gui Lingpeng behind him and respectfully replied to Qin Shou'an.
She is the daughter-in-law of the prime minister, so Qin Shou'an will not know her in the same way, but in addition to Gui Xianren who has become the commander in front of the palace, there are also a few people who serve in the army, and most of the rest can be regarded as people in the world.
, and he is still a force in Longyin City, so he is naturally polite to Qin Shouan.
"I just have one more question." Qin Shou'an said with a slightly self-deprecating smile. He just saw Gui Lingpeng's high arrogance and wanted to suppress her a little. Naturally, he had no intention of embarrassing the others in Gui Home. He was not Rong Qingshu.
Not that arrogant.
After chatting for a while, Qin Shou'an took Huaiyu and left. The maid had just been hiding behind Qin Shou'an, not daring to raise her head.
"What are you afraid of?"
"It's just... it just feels so weird, Nong Shi and Mr. Fang... Me and Young Master Fang... will she think it's me who didn't control Nong Shi or something like that?"
"What does it have to do with you? You are also a victim. How can you control Nong Shi? Why doesn't she reflect on whether she can control the mountain of housing? In short, Gui Ling Peng cannot blame you."
Qin Shou'an held her little hand and comforted her, saying, if Gui Lingpeng is really unreasonable and has to embarrass Huai Yu, is Qin Shou'an really afraid of returning home?
"Really?"
"Really."
"The young prince said so, then I'm not afraid anymore."
"No one needs to be afraid of my people."
"Well...hehe——"
……
……
Carrying the snacks he bought, he returned to the Three Lanes and Seven Alleys and saw a crowd of onlookers gathered in front of the palace. Tang Cheng was lecturing people aggressively:
"What do you think our palace is?"
"Is this a place where you can come in whenever you want?"
"I don't care what you want to do!"
"Go back and tell your master that I don't have time to see you!"
Tang Cheng was cursing when he saw Qin Shou'an and Huai Yu approaching. He quickly changed his face, bent down and followed Qin Shou'an.
Accompanying Xing Xing explained: "We are from Zongzheng Temple. If we dare to act carelessly, there is no need for the family to be too talkative."
Qin Shou'an should have officially inherited the throne long ago. It has been delayed until now. No one believes whether it was intentional or not. It is difficult to say the true purpose and reason, but it is a fact that he neglected the Langya Palace.
With a sneer in his heart, Qin Shouan looked back at the chief temple officials of Zongzheng Temple and ordered coldly:
"Then why are you still standing there? Just chase people away. Do you think the front door of the palace is a vegetable market? All the things stolen by chickens and dogs are wandering around here."
Upon hearing this, Tang Cheng snatched the stick from the hands of the people around him, led the guards and rushed forward to attack them.
When several chief officials of Zongzheng Temple saw Qin Shou'an's appearance, they originally looked happy and wanted to talk to him, but how did they know that they were greeted with sticks?
He ran away in panic, but still received several sticks, and even his black gauze hat and waistband fell to the ground.
He went back to pick it up and was beaten a few more times. He begged for mercy and ran away screaming in pain. His embarrassed appearance aroused laughter and made the crowd who were watching the fun very satisfied.
When Qin Shou'an walked into the palace, he understood that Tang Cheng was not so bold as to dare to make independent decisions. After all, it was most likely Tang Wanrong's decision to change the crown prince into a prince.
This is how it should be... Don't say he wasn't in the house originally, even if he was, he wouldn't see you.
Zongzheng Temple must have been under pressure, maybe even pressure from the Rong family, and reprimands from the palace, so they didn't dare to procrastinate anymore and hurry up and go through the procedures.
Rong Qingshu's Cishu Immortal Temple was split open by someone's palm, and the masters among the Jianghu people were involved in the matter. It would not be possible without the cooperation of Jiuzhou Prefecture in the investigation. As a result, Jiuzhou Prefecture has been leaderless and paralyzed because of Zongzheng Temple's drag, so the pressure cannot be reduced.
Is it all piled on Zongzhengji?
Huh... Qin Shou'an is not that active. He goes up to the pole to help people investigate the case. Unless you beat Zongzheng Temple to the ground and beg for mercy in front of the palace, let the Langya Palace take a breath of bad breath first.
He took Huaiyu back to Haitang Chunwu, only to see the three-legged toad kite rising again. What was different from the past was that there were plants and trees hanging underneath this toad kite, which means the word "rong".
