It was rainy in late spring. It was sunny when Tang Yue and the others left the house. Now it has turned cloudy, with a drizzle falling, and the streets and alleys have become blurry. The atmosphere in a private room in the largest restaurant in the capital was strange, "Ahem, I don't have that one."
In other words, if Prince Duan thinks this gift is not good, then Sister Hong and I will each receive half of the jade pendant."
Tang Yue handed the box to Hong Yu, "Do you prefer the dragon-shaped jade pendant or the wind-shaped jade pendant?"
Hong Yu pouted unhappily, but after spending the past two days with Tang Yue, she had a good impression of her and was unwilling to embarrass her again.
"I want the phoenix pendant, I like the phoenix." Hong Yu still hoped that she would get the phoenix pendant, and Duan Wang would take the dragon pendant.
Tang Yue didn't care which one he wanted, "Okay, then I'll wear the dragon pendant, so that everyone can see that we are a pair of good sisters."
King Duan was puzzled. How could a woman wear a dragon and phoenix jade pendant to express her feelings?
He also thought about what he had heard from the housekeeper in the past month. Not only did Jin Fu not embarrass Hong Yu, but she was affectionate with her, eating and living with her.
Looking at the way Jin Fu indulges Hong Yu, he can even give her a dragon and phoenix jade pendant just to make her happy. Could it be that Jin Fu has special thoughts about Hong Yu?
So his wife and concubine cuckolded him?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a possibility. Jin Fu had been practicing martial arts since she was a child and had a somewhat boyish personality. She might not like men but prefer women.
Hong'er looks so charming, pure and charming at the same time, and I can't resist her good looks. If Jin Fu likes women, then it is normal for her to fall in love with Hong'er.
There were clouds on his face, which was much worse than the weather outside the building.
Tang Yue looked at this master, who knew where he was thinking? It was like a needle under the sea, it was hard to guess.
I had to change the subject, "We have been shopping for a long time. Do you want to have something to eat and go to the temple fair in the evening?"
King Duan didn't want to speak. The butler felt that the atmosphere was so tense and said to everyone, "We have ordered food and now let them deliver it."
Everyone ate with their own thoughts. Prince Duan excused himself to go out to change clothes. In fact, he told the housekeeper, "These two women must be separated as soon as possible. It is best not to let them meet in the future. Prepare to place Hongyu outside."
courtyard."
The butler was confused, but he just had to follow the instructions.
Tang Yue took this opportunity to emphasize to Hong Yu, "You must not go to the Qingyang Palace for a while. Their palace owner Zong Yingkong is not an ordinary Taoist priest."
Hong Yu didn't pay much attention, "Isn't he just an ordinary mortal? How could he possibly know my identity?"
Tang Yue couldn't tell him that this person was an evil cultivator from another world. If he did, he would have to explain how he knew it to arouse her suspicion.
He could only continue to persuade, "If he can win the emperor's heart, his ability must be extraordinary. He may have special means to detect evil spirits. Don't underestimate ordinary people."
Hong Yu thought it would be better to be careful, but sister Jin Fu was careful, "Okay, I'll remember it."
She asked Jinfu again, "Do you really not like Prince Duan, but like Prince Ying?"
Tang Yue had no choice but to continue to repeat the previous rhetoric, "I am interested in King Ying, but I have no interest in King Duan at all. I don't like this kind of man at all."
Hongyu was even more unhappy when she heard others saying that King Duan was not good, "What's wrong with King Duan?"
Tang Yue used his big move, "Well, he is not as good-looking as King Ying. I like good-looking men."
Kureyu was silent for a moment, "How can you only look at appearance and not a person's character? King Duan has such a good character."
Tang Yue was speechless. This is a good character and good conduct that only you can see. She really can't see that Prince Duan has noble moral character.
Just as Prince Duan was about to enter the box, he heard his wife say that she was interested in Prince Ying. Veins popped up on her forehead. Unexpectedly, she didn't like women, but Prince Ying.
Thinking about it like this, I suddenly understood why she didn't care about Hong Yu and wanted to promote good things between herself and Hong Yu.
It turned out that he had the idea not to marry himself, but to marry King Ying.
It is absolutely impossible. The Minister of the Ministry of War must marry him and marry his daughter to him, so that he can hold the military power in his hands.
Don't take advantage of the eldest brother, especially since he is the eldest son and holds the title. As long as there is a slight possibility of seizing the throne, the old diehards and those who are in high positions in the court will support him.
He wanted to send extra manpower to keep an eye on Jin Fu and not let her do anything inappropriate and ruin his plan.
Tang Yue was arranging the itinerary for a while at this time, but she didn't expect that King Duan had already arranged a script for her to beat the mandarin ducks.
The key is that the other protagonist in this script has not thought of this direction at all.
Ji Chongguang also came to the temple fair. After the princes attended the festival during the day, they would also go shopping in the evening and watch the Qingyang Palace rituals.
He was in another box in the restaurant, listening to his subordinates report back to Tang Yue and his friends about their box.
"Jin Fu is indeed a very clever woman. Today she even took the initiative to bring that woman to see Prince Duan. She probably wanted her to recognize her identity."
King Duan stroked his chin with his fingers, "This way we can indeed avoid disputes and solve the problem directly. Maybe the woman can't stand the humiliation and status gap, so she will leave on her own."
But he always felt something was wrong. He had just observed two women getting along with each other on the street. They were very affectionate and Jin Fu didn't seem to want to do such a thing at all.
The people in Duanwang's box didn't want to stay in the room any longer. They felt chest tight and short of breath. Tang Yue suggested going out for a walk.
There was a parade performance spontaneously organized by the masses on the street. The content was about mythological content such as the Eight Immortals crossing the sea. It was very lively, but there were too many people.
Unknowingly, Tang Yue got separated from Prince Duan and Hong Yu. She was a little worried about Hong Yu and started looking for him in the crowd.
Kureha didn't reply to her message. She probably wanted to be alone with Prince Duan, so her efforts this month might have been in vain.
After searching and searching, the rain that had stopped for a while started to fall again. This time the rain became heavier and heavier, and it had the tendency to turn into a heavy rain.
Tang Yue had no choice but to find a shop selling oil-paper umbrellas to escape the heavy rain.
She had nothing to do while hiding from the rain, so she admired the paintings on the oil-paper umbrellas.
Practical umbrellas for shelter from the rain are placed outside. They are all simple and single-color. Painted oil paper umbrellas are placed inside, and many people buy them as collectibles.
She was looking at an umbrella with green mountains and misty rain. Suddenly the umbrella was lifted up, revealing the person behind it.
It turned out to be Ji Chongguang, who was dressed in green clothes and wearing a white jade crown. Under the umbrella, he had black hair scattered on his shoulders, and his face was cold and charming.
She was stunned for a moment. After coming back to her senses, she said hello: "Hello, Your Highness, Prince Ying."
"Miss Jin came here to take shelter from the rain too?" He came here to take shelter from the rain by chance and did not follow King Duan and the others.
"Yes, the rain has become too heavy for walking on the street."
The shopkeeper saw that the two men were dressed in extraordinary clothes, so he specially found a secluded place for them to rest, with tables and chairs, and made tea for them.
Ji Zhong gave him some money and thanked him for the hospitality. The shopkeeper went away with a smile on his face, leaving the two of them talking and drinking tea.
Ji Chongguang took the initiative and said, "Miss Jin came out with her second brother, right?"
Tang Yue tasted the tea prepared by the store. It had a unique floral aroma, "That's right, he invited me."
"Why doesn't he stay with you and leave you alone in the shop to take shelter from the rain?"
"Well, there were just too many people and we got separated. I have a servant with me, so it's okay."
"The second brother is too shameless to be so careless. I heard that he also brought another woman with him and behaved very intimately."
Tang Yue raised his eyebrows. He knew that Senior Brother Ji was not someone who cared so much about rumors. If he mentioned it specifically, he must have other motives.
She took a closer look at Senior Brother Ji. He was dressed in low-key and gorgeous clothes, showing his royal style. He had a wrench engraved with dragon patterns on his hand.
She suddenly realized that Senior Brother Ji was seriously engaged in the struggle for the right to inherit the throne here!
