Chapter 1908 Stop and fight 66
"The Crown Prince of the Marquis of Zhongyong." Xining bowed slightly, and then saluted the Crown Prince of the Marquis of Jin Xiang.
Mu Hanqing casually gave him a fist in return, and saw the maid named Taohong on the side opening her palm to his follower Liang Cheng, and pinching her fingers inward twice.
Liang Cheng understood immediately and took out his wallet and placed it in her palm.
Taohong opened her purse and poured the silver into her hand. When she saw that it was twenty taels of silver ingot, she returned the purse to Liang Cheng with satisfaction and stuffed the silver ingot into a specially prepared small cloth bag.
One pays and the other takes the money, the cooperation is tacit and the movements are natural.
Mu Hanqing rolled his eyes and saw Taohong extending her "devil's claw" towards the entourage of Crown Prince Jinxiang, with her palm facing up and her fingers beckoning, give her money!
Uh...
Mu Hanqing and Zhao Yanqing, plus two followers, four people...
Zhao Yanqing found it funny: "My calamity is also being punished?"
Taohong said impatiently: "You have a chance to see me, so hurry up."
The attendants around him were not happy and stared. They all said that the capital city was at the feet of the emperor. Now that they were inside the palace gate, it should mean that the emperor dared to rob someone under his nose. If I hadn't heard that the head of Yong'an County was very popular with the Queen Mother and the officials, he would have gone crazy.
Xining didn't think much about it: "Will Prince Zhao give it to him or not?" If not, she would have to leave. The Queen Mother and Emperor's gifts were already in the car. She hadn't returned home for seven days and was in a hurry to go back.
Zhao Yanqing smiled and motioned to his entourage to give him money.
Generally speaking, honorable nobles don't carry any money with them. This money makes a "ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding." There was a large amount of credit, and the entourage brought money to pay for some pocket money.
The master said he wanted to give it, so the attendant had no choice but to take out his purse and take out the money. Seeing the twenty taels of gold ingot just now, it seemed that I had to give him twenty taels too.
As soon as I opened my purse, I was snatched away.
"You~" The entourage dared not say anything in anger.
If you rob them all, this is called robbery! After Taohong poured out all the silver in her purse, she patted the purse back into the hands of the attendant. There are about seven or eight taels of broken silver and a piece of gold leaf. I made a fortune today. He happily poured the money into the cloth bag.
"Master..." The attendant looked at his master. He could beat ten of them with just this girl. As long as the crown prince said a word, he would be taken directly to the palace to file a complaint.
"Thank you, Mr. Mu, and thank you, Mr. Zhao." Xining saluted with a smile. After all, with so much money, a salute is still necessary. It is not surprising that there are many gifts.
"Hehe, I am lucky to meet the Lord of Yong'an County by chance." Zhao Yanqing's words made Mu Hanqing feel that this person is very shameless, and he has already met him twice.
Zhao Yanqing seemed happy to be robbed: "I heard that Canglan Pavilion's whole fish feast is unique. The smoked fish, drunken fish, and fish paste and corn soup are all outstanding. The butter abalone, ice cheese, and snowflake cakes in the fruit are very delicious. Jia, why don’t we go try it out tomorrow at noon? I’ll be the host.”
Mu Hanqing looked at Zhao Yanqing with strange eyes. Could it be that this boy really fell in love with the female bandit?
Xining almost drooled after hearing this: "Okay! But I'll be the host."
"Then I'm being disrespectful." After Zhao Yanqing saluted, he turned to Mu Hanqing and asked: "Brother Hanqing, what do you think? Let's go together?"
I originally wanted to refuse, but once I refused, I would inevitably be beaten by my own father when I returned home: "I'll try it too."
"It's settled, Canglan Pavilion tomorrow at noon." Xining asked Taohong to book a private room, then said goodbye, got in the car and left.
Mu Hanqing and Zhao Yanqing continued to walk to the palace to visit the third prince. Mu Hanqing was puzzled: "Why did you also give me money?"
Zhao Yanqing, on the other hand, kept his usual careless attitude: "When Brother Hanqing was assassinated, he met the Yong'an County Lord; when the third prince was assassinated, he met the Yong'an County Lord again. Someone will plot against me one day. Don't say this, even if it's ten thousand taels of gold. No one may be willing to help me. People who don’t have long-term concerns will have immediate worries.”
Well, this reason is hard to argue with. But this Yong'an County Lord is really powerful. Whenever there is an assassination, she can appear in time... Is she the God of Misfortune or their God of Good Luck?
The third prince's injury was basically healed and he was practicing calligraphy. When he saw the two of them, he put down his pen and asked them to sit aside.
"Your Highness is so elegant," Zhao Yanqing sat down.
The maid immediately served tea. Because the third prince was still recovering from his injuries, she served ginseng tea.
"I have been lying there for several days. I was afraid that I would be rusty in my studies and make you two laugh." The third prince picked up the ginseng tea and took a sip.
"How can it be abandoned? I heard that the Lord of Yong'an County was speaking "Han Shu" in the palace, and all the academicians from the Hanlin Academy came to listen." Zhao Yanqing asked curiously: "How good is it?"
Zhao Yanqing, like Mu Hanqing, is not a prince. Even if he is a member of the royal family, he has no official position. You can't just come to this palace. This time you can come only after you submit a post to enter.
Well, it's just like listening to a book. It's many times more interesting than what those great bachelors said. Those great bachelors all listened with great interest. The third prince thought for a while before replying: "You can't be too tired to recuperate, and you don't want to waste your studies. It's just to kill time."
Talking about the "Book of Han" means talking about the history of the Han Dynasty. As a prince and future prince, he must learn about the past and discuss the present to help his political career.
I didn't say it was bad, and I didn't say it was good. It sounded like it should be good. Zhao Yanqing couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that the Lord of Yong'an County could not only rob but also talk about "Han Shu". Brother Hanqing, you'd better get married as soon as possible." What a good girl, but Mu Hanqing didn't like her.
Mu Hanqing frowned: "I told you a long time ago that it was just an emergency at that time. I will make it clear to dad later."
The third prince was a little unhappy. After all, he was his cousin. In addition, he treated him as a brother these days and did more than his sister: "Can I withdraw from this marriage at will? I also think Yong'an is quite good. Okay.”
"Not to mention saving you." Zhao Yanqing added.
"You have to pledge yourself to save your life?" Mu Hanqing looked at the third prince: "Then she saved more than just me."
"What are you talking about!" After the third prince scolded him, he remembered that the identity of County Lord Yong'an has not been made public, and even his own mother and concubine did not know. When he came here yesterday, he asked about County Lord Yong'an, and he seemed to be insinuating it. I thought about it.
The third prince said sincerely: "Now that we are engaged, how can we regret it? Otherwise, why would the girl from this family meet the world?" In fact, it was so sad. If it weren't for blood relatives, he really wanted to marry her as a concubine during the marriage proposal.
"Just her?" Mu Hanqing even laughed out loud. He saw someone who robbed someone every time. He was three feet thick and heartless: "Even if she breaks off the engagement ten times, she will still see her as she wants."
"Why do you treat your unmarried wife like this?" The third prince knew that Mu Hanqing didn't like her, but he didn't expect to treat her with such contempt. How would he live his life after marrying his ice-snow, smart and interesting cousin.
Mu Hanqing became impatient when he mentioned Zhao Fuling: "It's useless to talk more." Why did he talk about her when he came here this time? It was so annoying.
Zhao Yanqing was itching: "Brother Hanqing, since you don't like it, you should make a decision as soon as possible. Then I can also come to propose marriage."
Don't take this kid seriously. Mu Hanqing and the third prince both stared at Zhao Yanqing. The third prince, in particular, was very surprised. After all, he had just found out that Zhao Yanqing had fallen in love with Zhao Fuling.
