Volume 1: Painting Spring Chapter 33: Evening Party with Li Han
When Xiao Yizheng walked into the upper room of the inn in front of the door, he smelled a faint fragrance of grass and trees. He frowned slightly and winked at Xin Zhao behind him. Xin Zhao understood what he meant, stopped and stayed outside the door.
.
The people in the room had already stood up to greet her. It was the girl in green whom she had just met during the day. "Li Han has met Mr. Liu."
Xiao Yizheng raised his eyes and saw that she was still wearing a green shirt, standing alone in the middle of the room, with a cold and arrogant face, and was bowing her hands. He smiled faintly, took two steps forward, sat down at the round table, and said, "You can call me Liu Ye."
It's the rules of the world, sit down."
Li Han didn't show any pretense, lifted up his skirt and sat down opposite him.
"A man came to see me and ordered Youmi incense. Do you want to chat with me alone?" Xiao Yizheng poured himself a cup of tea, put it to his nose and smelled it, then put it down.
Seeing this, Li Han quickly picked up the tea cup he had just put down, drank it all in one gulp, and said: "I only ordered Youmi Incense, and I won't tamper with the tea. Master Liu, be careful!"
Xiao Yizheng smiled helplessly: "I just think this tea is a bit bad. Tell me, what's the matter with the young master of Changfeng Escort Agency coming to Shang without telling the old man?"
"If I had the intention to hide it, why would I still be living in the Escort Bureau branch? How could I come to see Master Liu myself? Congratulations to Master Liu on his wedding. I saw the princess today. Although she was dressed in men's clothes, she was still beautiful. I didn't want to disturb Master Liu.
I’m newly married, but since I’m here in Shangdu, I still want to meet the Sixth Master.”
"So, you already knew that I was in Mei Jing Tower?"
"At that time, Mr. Liu often chatted with the old man about trivial matters at the Shuzhou Escort Bureau headquarters. He said that if it was inconvenient to go to the palace to find you, he would go to Mei Jing Tower to leave a message saying that he was looking for Heng Liu. I went today to leave a message.
I happened to see Zhui Chen in the stable, so I thought it might be a good idea for the prince to come to me himself. The lyrics I asked the choir to sing were written by you, Mr. Liu. If he sang it, you in the building would definitely notice it.
.”
Xiao Yizheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
Li Han continued: "It's just that I didn't expect that singing class to have such strange rules, and I didn't want to embarrass others, but if you make a mistake, you will make a mistake, and attracting attention will lead to the same goal. Didn't Master Liu notice this?"
"You deliberately embarrass the princess to attract my attention?"
"That's not true. When we were at Mei Jing Tower, I didn't know she was the princess. After leaving Mei Jing Tower, the princess got on the carriage. Although the carriage was decorated in a low-key manner, I still saw the driver's waist plate, Prince Heng's waist plate.
Card, an unexpected surprise. So, I want to see how many secret guards will protect the princess when she travels, and also want to see if the prince will personally take action." After Li Han finished narrating calmly, he looked at Xiao Yizheng quietly.
.
"If the palace's secret guards really took action, you wouldn't be sitting here so leisurely right now."
"I know. But it's worth the risk, because I want to prove something."
Xiao Yizheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said nothing, just looking at her.
Li Han smiled lightly: "I want to know, if I ask the princess to leave Shangdu with me, how many people will protect her? How much does the prince care about the princess's safety?"
Xiao Yizheng frowned slightly and said in a serious tone: "No matter what happens, if it is complicated and dangerous, I will try my best to keep her out of it."
Li Han lowered his head slightly, sighed softly, and said, "If I say that it is related to the investigation that Mr. Liu has been concerned about for the past few years, wouldn't you be willing?"
Xiao Yizheng's eyes narrowed, "What's new?"
"Before I came out, Uncle Qian, the head of the Beisu branch, came to Shuzhou to visit the old man. He said that he personally met an old man while walking escorts at the border last month. During the drunken chat, the other man heard about the marriage gift given to you by the Holy Spirit. He repeatedly
He kept asking a lot of relevant questions. Uncle Qian paid attention to him and walked with him for a while. One time, his sharp eyes noticed that he was wearing a jade pendant close to his body. At that time, he felt that it was very similar to the jade pendant that the old man told him to pay attention to. So, Uncle Qian
He said that one of his relatives had a jade pendant that was very similar to the one he was wearing. But the other party firmly said that it was impossible. Uncle Qian offered to buy it, but the other party said that his jade pendant would not be sold unless Princess Heng, who was about to get married in the near future, came to buy it."
Xiao Yizheng looked shocked when he heard this.
Li Han continued: "After the old man finished speaking, he laughed loudly and said that he was just dreaming. Uncle Qian also thought he was joking. The old man parted ways with the escort team the next day. This time Uncle Qian returned to Shuzhou.
After reporting the work at the headquarters, I informed the old man of the matter. The old man originally wanted to go to Beisu in person to confirm whether the jade pendant was exactly the same as the one the prince collected, and then inform you, Mr. Six. After all, there have been many mistakes in the past few years. But he didn't.
I think he got mad at me and didn't leave."
Xiao Yizheng was thinking seriously, but when he heard her last sentence, he couldn't help but chuckle. "Is it because you refused to marry again?"
Li Han nodded disdainfully, "I don't want to make him angry, but Ding Ming, who is as timid as a mouse, I really can't imagine living and dying with him."
"So you came to Shangdu secretly?"
"It's not secret, it's fair and square. I came to Shangdu to inspect the work of the branch. I also visited the newly married Mr. Liu and brought you congratulations and blessings from your old friends from the Changfeng Escort Bureau. After all, you have a noble status. This wedding
, it is not convenient for us to attend, but our thoughts are there."
"I received a congratulatory gift from the old man. But the old man never mentioned anything about you, nor what you just said."
"Old man, he wanted to confirm before telling you. He didn't want to disappoint you again. As for not mentioning me, it may be because he felt that I was interested in His Highness. As a newlywed, it is inconvenient to mention me."
Xiao Yizheng touched the tip of his nose and said softly: "Since when did the old man feel that you have more than a friendship for me?"
"From the day I told him that I have feelings for you!" Li Han said cheerfully.
"Oh?" Xiao Yizheng looked at her playfully.
"Sixth Master, you are so outstanding, a hundred times better than Ding Ming. It is only human nature that I fall in love with you."
Xiao Yizheng raised his eyebrows: "Thank you for the compliment. In fact, Brother Ding has bravery that you haven't seen yet."
"No thanks, I have feelings for Mr. Liu, but I don't have any intention." Li Han raised his eyebrows: "After I knew your identity, I didn't have any intention. You will not marry me, and I will not be a concubine for others. So, I have feelings but no intention.
"
Xiao Yizheng smiled, glanced at her with relief, and said, "Then why do you want to take the princess out of Shangdu? Want to take her to Beisu? You have to know that you absolutely can't take away a prince and princess!"
"I think the jade pendant in the man's hand is probably real, otherwise he would not have mentioned Princess Heng. If it is true, then he must have seen the princess before he could speak. Then it would not be a bad idea to let the princess follow me quietly.
One way. Of course, if the princess wants to go, she can’t go around the prince’s care. If there are many people to protect her along the way, I will feel at ease.”
Xiao Yizheng clicked on the table and said clearly: "You are not only worried about the safety of the princess, right? But also yourself! If the old man really wants you to go back, the few people you brought with you will definitely not be able to do it, but if you do it for
When I'm doing things, I'm protected by the palace's secret guards along the way, so my escape from marriage is very safe."
Li Han said calmly: "Sixth Master, wouldn't it be good if you see through it but don't say it?"
Xiao Yizheng ignored her, remained silent for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Have you ever thought that even if the jade pendant is real, what does it have to do with the princess? Why do you want her to go by name?"
"I thought about it, but I didn't understand it, so I stopped thinking about it."
Xiao Yizheng's posture of still thinking and discussing seriously was broken by her understatement. He snorted angrily: "If you and our princess are traveling together, how many troubles may occur!"
Li Han had no expression on his face and just said: "So, what do you think of my proposal?"
Xiao Yizheng said: "I said, I don't want her to be exposed to any complicated dangers. Don't bring up your proposal again." After saying that, he stood up and said seriously: "Now that I have come to Shangdu, I will also
You can stay longer. It's not convenient to come to the palace. If you need anything, you can contact Zhao Xin. You have a way to contact us. Li Han, the old man is old. If you really don't want to, communicate slowly, but don't always make him angry."
Li Han rolled his eyes, and was about to say something, but he still closed his mouth, stood up silently, bowed, and watched Xiao Yizheng open the door and walk out.
After leaving the inn in front of the door, Zhao Xin stepped forward and said: "The Youmi incense that Miss Li used this time was very large. Even if I were guarding the door, I would feel dizzy at this moment. If it hadn't been for the fact that Your Highness had taken the medicine of Mr. Bai,
The special Qing Ning Pills I received as a gift, I’ve already fallen into coma after staying in there for so long.”
Xiao Yizheng walked slowly and said with his hands behind his back: "She is still cautious. What she just said to me is related to the whereabouts of the jade pendant. The fewer people know about it, the better."
"Is there any new news from Changfeng Escort Bureau?" Zhao Xin asked anxiously.
Xiao Yizheng nodded, "I think so, but I haven't confirmed it yet. Mr. Bai has tried his best to do this for me, but it's hard for him."
"It's always much more convenient for people from the Escort Bureau to travel all over the country to inquire about information." Zhao Xin paused and then considered: "If His Highness hadn't been concerned about the Holy Emperor's mood, he could have asked the imperial court to come forward, which is always more convenient than people from the world.
There are many.”
Xiao Yizheng smiled and shook his head: "This is my personal matter, how can I use the official imperial weapon. In fact, I am not that obsessed with the whereabouts and function of that jade pendant, just let it go. Li Han is in Shangdu, please take care of her.
Yes. I will write to the old man later to reassure him."
Zhao Xindao thought about the close friendship between Miss Li and his own prince. He hesitated for a while and said, "Your Highness, the girl Yueying who is with the princess today asked me if you know Miss Li."
Xiao Yizheng looked back at him: "Who? Yueying?"
Xin Zhao pursed his lips and nodded.
"Then what if you say?"
"I don't dare to say anything without your instructions. I just say that I don't know." Zhao Xin looked embarrassed.
Xiao Yizheng thought that it was Yueying who asked, and it must be what Qingxi said. He thought about it, and it seemed that Li Han and Qingxi were whispering something at that time. "So, you deceived the princess?"
Xin Zhao's face immediately fell. How could he have deceived the princess? No matter how you say it, it's wrong. This is really not a good job. "Your Highness, I can't say that you and Miss Li not only know each other, but also have a deep friendship.
Bar!"
Xiao Yizheng hummed twice, which made Zhao Xinxin play drums.
