The dark sword came whistling, Chang Nian's ears twitched, and he subconsciously looked back. The silver light was suddenly approaching, and the man in black behind the long sword had a fierce look in his eyes.

Seeing the sharp sword blade approaching, his body moved faster than his brain. He crouched down and slashed the air with his sword. Seeing this, the man in black turned around and chopped down, determined to break the flesh and draw blood.

"Ouch me!"

Chang Nian screamed and rolled to the side in panic, falling onto a pile of debris at the side of the alley, and the basket of debris fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

In the confusion, his elbow accidentally hit the edge of a hard wooden block. Chang Nian gasped in pain. He quickly waved his hand, "Hey, hey, hey, I don't want to play with you anymore."

"Stop talking nonsense!" The man in black raised the sword in his hand and rushed towards Chang Nian.

Suddenly, a gust of white mist came, and two wisps of bitter fragrance rushed into the nose of the man in black. The sword he raised high fell to the ground with a clang, and before he could react, his body went limp.

"What...what did you do to me!?"

He glared and shouted,

The handsome young man who had just fled away with his head in his hands, now sat on the pile of junk with a leisurely posture, "I told you I don't want to play with you anymore."

He stood up and jumped down lightly, walked to the front of the crowd, folded his arms and looked down,

"Tell me, who sent you."

The man in black said nothing.

"Did not say?"

Chang Nian raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Forget it then."

"The lady said that those who don't speak are dead men and can be killed."

He pulled out the dagger from his sleeve. The sound of the sharp blade coming out of the sheath made the man in black tremble. His eyes suddenly opened, and a crack appeared in his resolute eyes, revealing a bit of fear.

“Don’t…don’t…!!”

"Zhou Family"

"Yes, Miss, that's what the man said. I stabbed him three times, but he didn't change his words."

Chu Yizhao sat at the table, holding a yellow dog in his arms, and stroked the dog's head casually. "The Chen family is surrounded by people, so it's normal to ask for help from in-laws."

When aristocratic families marry, they must marry someone of equal social status, and their goal is to prosper together and suffer together.

The Zhou family intervened to stop the rumors, and soon the Duke of Lu's Mansion would also have to step in to protect Chen Chuwei.

Fortunately, Song Qichuan has entered the palace and received a reward.

Just keep him, Chen Chuwei is still useful.

"Remember to ask for more compensation. The Pingxi Palace is wealthy and we can open more mouths to feed. The dowry for marrying a wife is also provided." Chu Yizhao said to Chang Nian.

Working for the King of Pingxi, you will definitely get rich, even if you don't get promoted.

Chang Nian glanced at the person next to Chu Yizhao and said shyly, "Marrying a wife... I am still young."

Qiaoyu felt a chill, "You are one year older than the young lady, so stop pretending."

Chang Nian retorted unconvincedly, "You are one year older than the young lady, so what qualifications do you have to criticize me?"

"Hmph," Qiaoyu rolled her eyes, "Why do you care how old I am? I'm not planning on getting married."

"?!"

"How can you not get married?" Chang Nian asked anxiously, "What are you going to do if you don't get married?"

"Of course I will accompany you for the rest of my life." Qiaoyu said as a matter of course, "I am a maid now, and I will be an aunt in the future. I will be honored and respectable. Why should I marry a man and be trapped in the house and suffer?"

Qiaoyu thought clearly that even princesses and noble ladies could be deceived by men and suffer injustice, let alone a lowly maid like her.

Rather than marrying a common man and living a life of poverty, she would rather follow the sweet and gentle lady and serve her all the time.

"Why should I suffer? There are still good men in this world," Chang Nian argued, "Miss, tell me, are there still good men in this world?"

He was as anxious as a jumping monkey. Chu Yizhao suddenly realized something and blinked twice, "Of course, Qiaoyu, you can't kill her with one blow."

"There are many good men in the world"

"For example, Chang Nian, Lu Feng, and Lu Lin, the people around them are not bad at all."

She stroked the dog's head to set up a connection with Chang Nian, and added two people to avoid embarrassment. She was so smart.

Chu Yizhao secretly praised himself.

She smiled brightly, but she didn't know that this addition turned the road to heaven into a carrot pit.

Chang Nian lowered her head in embarrassment. Qiao Yu felt empty inside and didn't feel anything about Chu Yizhao's words. "There are good men, but there are also good women. It's never my turn."

Chang Nian was stunned, and his face suddenly turned red.

This mallet!

Forget it, just say it directly!

Just as he was about to open his mouth to speak, two deafening knocks sounded behind him.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Lu Lin holding his sword against the door frame with an expressionless face.

"What's the matter"

Seeing Chu Yizhao asking, Lu Lin put down his sword and walked through the door without anyone noticing. After the hilt of the sword was removed, two more grooves appeared on the plain wooden frame.

Lu Lin held a large treasure box in one hand, passed by the red-faced boy without leaving a trace, and placed the box on the table.

"Miss, you are polite."

Chu Yizhao's eyes fell on the gift, and after observing it for a moment, he almost laughed out loud in anger.

Pearwood,

The magpie overwhelms the crabapple.

Huaichun was surprised, "Isn't this the box that Princess Qianyang sent that day? Why is it sent again today?"

She went forward and touched it. "It's much bigger than that one."

"Miss, is this the medical fee sent by the princess?"

It’s worthless.

Chu Yizhao gritted his teeth, what a liar.

No wonder.

She had always wondered why Wei Xingli appeared outside the Quyang Marquis's mansion for no reason. It turned out that he had delivered something and then came to inspect...

"Where's Wei Xingli?"

When Lu Lin heard this name, his ears felt numb. "Your Highness is at the door."

"He is quite self-aware."

Chu Yizhao felt complicated when he thought about the kiss last night.

Seeing that Chu Yizhao had no intention of opening the box, Lu Lin said a few more words out of consideration for the friendship between him and his old master.

"His Highness said that he would wait outside the door until the young lady calmed down and forgave him, and then he would come in to apologize, so as not to upset the young lady."

Chu Yizhao snorted coldly, "What if you don't understand?"

Lu Lin paused, his expression difficult to describe, "His Highness said... if he doesn't understand in the morning, he will come in the afternoon. If he doesn't understand in the afternoon, he will come in the evening..."

"Three meals a day... I can always get the lady to give me something to eat..."

After he finished speaking, the room fell silent, and everyone looked at Chu Yizhao in a strange way.

Chu Yizhao's eyebrows twitched fiercely, the veins on his forehead bulged, and there was a hint of shame and embarrassment in his eyes.

"What nonsense is he talking about? Can I force a prince to beg for food?"

"Let him go!"

Lu Lin answered obediently, and just as he turned around, he turned back and asked, "What if Your Highness comes again in the afternoon..."

Still rolling?

He didn't dare ask this question out loud.

Chu Yizhao closed his eyes, exhaled heavily, and was silent for a moment, "Let him roll in..."

"Yes!"

After Lu Lin left, Huaichun saw what Chu Yizhao was thinking, and out of curiosity, she opened the treasure box beyond the rules.

Chu Yizhao didn't stop him.

The box of the magpie pressing the crabapple tree was divided into two layers. Huaichun just opened the first layer and exclaimed in amazement, "Miss, look!"

Chu Yizhao glanced at it and suddenly stopped.

A complete set of gorgeous and elegant summer lotus jumping beads headwear, piled up and filled the box.

The main stone is a green turquoise as big as a fist, and the beads are made of Nanshan crescent jade. They are wrapped with gold and silver threads and inlaid with gold filigree and enamel.

Looking closely, the centerpiece, the hairpins covering the temples, and the grass-insect hairpins are all finely crafted from bluestone, and the flower-shaped hairpins are intricately carved into round lotus flowers, accompanied by pearls and colored jade, with crescent-shaped white stone beads hanging below.

Light and exquisite, full of grandeur.

Yaocheng green turquoise is top-grade with the colors of green mountains and lake water. The whole surface is covered with a patchwork of green, elegant and noble, refreshing, as if lotus flowers are soaked in spring rain...

"My God, such workmanship must have taken so much thought..." Huaichun smacked his lips.

She followed Chu Yizhao in and out of the palace and encountered many tribute treasures. This delicate and exquisite headpiece, even the lotus leaf pattern was carved in detail, was rarely seen in the world...

Chu Yizhao had a little indigestion. The carving was exquisite and the idea was ingenious. The lotus stand given by the Queen Mother was also exquisite.

What shocked Chu Yizhao was this set of gems.

Green turquoise is rare. Wei Xingli had already given a large piece of excellent quality raw stone last time. This time he polished a whole set of head ornaments, which seemed to have hollowed out the Pingxi Palace.

The Nanshan crescent jade, Nanhu white pearls and Qu'an enamel used as embellishments are also rare treasures.

The value of it is incomparable to gold.

Chu Yizhao was scared. If she took this headgear out, she might be in trouble by the thieves from the south and north of the Yangtze River.

She loves money and cherishes her life.

I am considering whether to accept it or not.

Huaichun pointed to the bottom of the box and said, "Miss, there is a note."

Chu Yizhao looked over.

A piece of paper, two lines of cursive script,

The poem says:

This flower and this leaf always complement each other,

The green is less and the red is less, the sorrow is more and more deadly.

Jiaojiao, forgive me—

The last sentence is written in a charming and ambiguous way.

What a bullshit nickname.

Chu Yizhao blushed and stretched out his index finger to press the four words.

The remaining two sentences,

The trace is like a soaring dragon, and the momentum is like the Milky Way.

It was clearly written to admit one's mistakes, but it also carried a bit of a murderous aura...

The corners of the mouth are raised,

And he said it was not an evil spirit.

Huaichun looked at his young lady's curved eyes and realized that his depressed mood was like floating clouds, turning into a breeze and flying away.

She smiled and said, "Your Highness is thoughtful. You have the order of flowers for the four seasons. I know you only love summer flowers."

Chu Yizhao said stubbornly, "Sending lotus flowers in the cold winter, it's amazing that he can do that."

"If Ah Ming doesn't like it, I'll just send it to him again."
