Nine princes get married

It was almost autumn, and the wind in the imperial city began to become cold.In the evening, except for some places full of brilliance, every house is closed early, and the street looks a little deserted.

In a narrow alley, only the lanterns hanging from the small buildings on both sides gave some light.On the smooth stone road, there are occasionally a few pedestrians in a hurry.

A man wearing a blue and white cloak stopped in front of a black door, and the door opened without raising his hand to knock on it.An old man in his fifties stood inside and called out, "Master Qian, you're here."

The man nodded, and said in a cold voice, "Uncle Wu, don't come here without any problems."

"Hehe, it's alright, alright, Lord Qian, come in quickly." Uncle Wu laughed.

The man also pursed his lips, raised a slight arc, and walked sideways into the door.

Unlike the coldness outside, the courtyard is brightly lit and lively.The man walked towards the hall while unbuttoning his cloak.There are a few people inside, drinking tea, chatting and eating melon seeds.

"Yo, Lord Qian is here!" A person sitting next to him saw him with sharp eyes, and immediately burst into a smile, "I miss us so much!"

The man smiled at the corner of his mouth, handed the cloak to the servant beside him, and walked into the hall with a smile: "How are you all?"

"What a woolen yarn!" A burly man on the inside swears, "Master Qian, you don't know, we've been screwed!"

"Of course I know, otherwise I wouldn't have come here." The man sighed, walked up to the main seat in the hall and sat down, took a teacup to drink, and then said, "Do you have any clues about what happened so far?"

The people below looked at each other and shook their heads sincerely.

"Master Qian, what does the Castle Master say?" Another person asked.

"The castle master asked me to take a look." The man put down his teacup and said.

Yinsong Castle, the number one castle in the world, occupies the north, and its power is astonishing, even the royal family is afraid of it.The so-called big tree attracts the wind, so there are not a few people who trip up overtly or secretly.

Normally, friends and foes are clearly distinguished, but this time, I don't know which one it is, and they have made many small tricks secretly.The loss was not great, but the itching feeling through the clothes made the people in the Imperial City Sub-office miserable.

Cang Mo, the owner of Silver Pine Castle, after several discussions with several confidants, confirmed that this matter was unusual.At the same time, one of Cang Mo's right-hand men, Qian Rong, also known as "Master Qian", is also the head of the Imperial City branch, so he was sent to the Imperial City to find out.

Qian Rong, who has a different name, um, Dazhong, is actually handsome and tall. Although he doesn't look strong, everyone who knows him well knows that he is a rare beauty under his blue and white clothes. skill.Not only that, but he is also a so-called Wen Tao Wu Lue, otherwise how could he be one of Cang Mo's trustworthy lieutenants at such a young age.

Qian Rong's temperament is just like his appearance, he treats people politely, but he is aloof and indifferent.At the beginning, many people who judge people by their appearance stumbled quite a bit on this point. They thought it was a lump of clay, but they turned out to be solid marble.

"Master Qian, this is our situation recently." Zhang Lishan presented a folder.

Qian Rong took it and glanced roughly at it.This folding page is not thin──It is not difficult to find small troubles in Silver Pine Castle if there is nothing to do, but the difficulty is to keep looking for small troubles in Silver Pine Castle.

It's nothing more than fake banknotes circulated by some banks, casinos being picked on, pawnshops damaged after receiving goods for no reason, goods transported by escorts were confirmed to be safe but contraband was found by officers and soldiers on the road, and so on.Holding his forehead with one hand, Qian Rong flipped through the book again.

"Have you traced the source?" Qian Rong asked.

"I've searched for it, but I can't find it." Zhang Lishan shook his head.

"You can't even find out, the background is not small." Qian Rong frowned, "Since the background is not small, why do you just do things like children's pranks?"

The people below looked at each other a few times: "We are also puzzled, but we don't dare to speculate."

Qian Rong thought for a while: "Brother Zhang, make a list of things to be done by the sub-office in the near future."

"Yes." Zhang Lishan replied, presenting another foldout, "It's already listed."

Qian Rong glanced at him, took the folded leaf, looked at it carefully, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "As expected, it is Brother Zhang."

"I've been with you for so long." Zhang Lishan replied with a smile.

Qian Rong looked at the list carefully, and found that land, clothing, military, and commerce were full of things to do, except that grain merchants had nothing to do.It is really not easy to filter out where "that person" will attack.

Qian Rong raised his eyebrows, picked up a pen, dipped it in cinnabar ink, added a few items to the list, and handed it to Zhang Lishan.

Zhang Lishan took a closer look, and found that it was all about the grain merchants, so he raised his head, a little puzzled, and said, "Master Qian thinks that 'that person' will do something about it next."

"He's tried all the other things, hasn't he?" Qian Rong raised his eyebrows, "It's just that the Grain Merchant Office hasn't taken any action recently, so he can't find a chance."

"Master Qian is so sure?" Zhang Lishan asked with a smile.

Qian Rong also smiled: "Guess."

In the next few days, Qian Rong was in charge of the Imperial City Grain Merchant Branch, of course it was done in secret, and not many people even knew about his arrival in the Imperial City.

A few days ago, Zhang Lishan was ordered to release the news that a batch of top-notch candied fruit worth thousands of dollars had been dispatched from Jiangnan to the capital in order to find buyers.Sure enough, someone came the next day to order the goods.The people who came said they were doing things for others, so Qian Rong didn't show up, and asked Zhang Lishan to sign a letter of agreement, and he watched from behind the scenes.

The goods traveled by water, and it took about ten days. Qian Rong personally inspected the goods. They were all carefully selected by farmers in the south of the Yangtze River.Qian Rong personally watched the packaging and sealing of the boxes, and then waited behind the scenes for the buyer to pick them up.

The buyer had also seen it a few times before, a short, fat middle-aged man, surnamed Huang, a little-known small businessman who said that he spent all his net worth to make a fortune with this batch of candied fruit for the last time.

Qian Rong watched him and Zhang Lishan pay the money and deliver the goods, and the process went smoothly.Qian Rong rested his chin in his hands, waiting for the good show to come.

After Shopkeeper Huang left, Zhang Lishan went behind the scenes and gave all the bank notes he had collected to Qian Rong.Qian Rong picked them up one by one and looked at them. The face value of each note was thousands of taels of silver. There were not many in the imperial city who could issue such large sums of money.

Qian Rong picked up one and poured tea on it. There was no change, so he patiently wet the silver bills. After they were completely soaked, something faintly appeared in a corner of one of the bills.

He took it to the fire and roasted it for a while, and the pattern soaked in tea stains became clear, it was a unicorn.Qian Rong raised his eyebrows slightly, he was a little skeptical before, but if it is true││

"Master Qian?" Zhang Lishan also saw the pattern and asked tentatively.

"If it's really the Zhuang family, we still have to analyze the actions of the elders." Qian Rong got up, "Wait for another two days, and they will attack us."

Qian Rong tested all the banknotes he received earlier, and sure enough, whenever there was a money transaction, one or two of the banknotes would have unicorns printed on them.On the silver or gold ingot, if one layer is melted away, the Qilin Sacred Seal will also be found.

In today's world, only the Zhuang family of the royal family specially prints sacred objects symbolizing status on money transactions in order to prevent cheaters.However, the Zhuang family has eleven brothers in this generation, except for the current one who uses the dragon seal, there are ten others who use the unicorn seal.It's really possible for anyone.

On the second day, the shopkeeper Huang came to the door, very angry.

Zhang Lishan and others saw that dozens of boxes of sealed candied fruit were pulled back intact, and several boxes were opened, all of which were moldy candied fruit.The rest were intact, Zhang Lishan ordered someone to open them, and they were all moldy, obviously they had been repackaged, but the one who could imitate the seal of Yinsong Castle so perfectly is really capable.

Zhang Lishan had already been instructed to pay the indemnity without hesitation, and let shopkeeper Huang go.

Qian Rong picked up the seal and examined it carefully. The seal was made by a master counterfeiter. Anyone who could make dozens of copies in a short period of time must be within the imperial city.He took the list with the names of several people, put it in his arms, and set off to visit one by one.

In the autumn season, the sky is high and the air is crisp, and a few breezes are blowing the red leaves outside the gazebo, rustling.

Sitting inside the pavilion was a man with a handsome face and fine clothes, but he was leaning on the grand master's chair without any rules, holding a purple sand teapot in one hand and drinking from the spout, and in the other hand he kept removing the exquisite plates placed on the stone table. Send the candied fruit in your mouth to your mouth.

"Well, it's delicious, it's really good..." He rubbed it into his mouth while admiring, "As expected, it's worth a thousand dollars, it's really sweet but not greasy, and it leaves a fragrance on your teeth..."

The two personal servants behind him were very disdainful. I have seen people who eat free food, but I have never seen someone who eats so calmly and without shame.

Beautiful scenery and delicious food, the man after a full belly slumped on the chair, thinking about taking a nap like this.But a voice came from behind: "My lord, Mr. Qian from Yinsongbao is visiting."

The man narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Mr. Qian?"

You are very fast, this Mr. Qian.

"Invite him to come in." The man waved his hand, "Go and get some candied fruit, and give it to Mr. Qian in Silver Pine Castle."

"Yes."

As soon as he stepped into the mansion, although Qian Rong's face was calm and his eyes were fixed, he raised his eyebrows slightly.The house is really quiet and simple. If you use the human appearance as a metaphor, it would be "powerful without anger"││Although there are not many gorgeous decorations, it is solemn and noble underneath.It is said that the house follows the owner. I don't know if the person who lives here is also as old and stable as the rumors say?

The Ninth Prince, Zhuang Yiliu, is the younger brother of the current emperor.Qian Rong had heard of him, but had never seen him.

The layout of the house is not fancy, only a few roundabouts, and there is an open world, Qian Rong has excellent eyesight, squinting slightly, he saw the man sitting in the gazebo in the withered lotus pond.

When Qian Rong walked in, Zhuang Jiu had already asked someone to change the teapot and was making tea.

"Grassman Qian Rong, I have met the Ninth Prince." Qian Rong saluted.

Hearing this clear and cold voice, Zhuang Jiu raised his eyes and smiled and said, "Mr. Qian, please sit down. I have heard about Mr. Qian's name for a long time. When I saw him today, he is really extraordinary."

Qian Rong also made a faint smile: "The Ninth Prince is too famous." After sitting down, he suddenly saw the changed candied fruit in front of him. Qian Rong kept his expression on the table and took the tea poured by Zhuang Jiu.

"The best bamboo leaf green, Mr. Qian, try it, does it suit your taste?" Zhuang Jiu said with a smile.

"Thank you, my lord, for the tea."

"Mr. Qian, you don't have to be polite."

Qian Rong sniffed it first, then drank it in three sips, raised his head and said with a smile: "It's really good tea."

"I'm so glad that Mr. Qian also likes it." Zhuang Jiu drank his own tea in one gulp, and filled it up for the two of them, "I don't know what kind of tea Mr. Qian likes, but Zhuang Jiu also has some tribute tea here, so I can give it to Mr. Qian , as a meeting gift."

"Qian Rong is terrified." Qian Rong said with a smile, and took out a two-inch box from his sleeve pocket, "This is a gift from Qian Rong to the Ninth Prince, please don't dislike him."

Zhuang Jiu showed curiosity, took it over and opened it, and found that it was wrapped with several layers of cloth that was [-]% dry. When it was uncovered, it was a piece of moist and soft tea cake. Zhuang Jiu raised his head and said with a smile: "Mr. gone."

"It's good that Ninth Prince likes it." Qian Rong said.

"I like it!" Zhuang Jiu laughed loudly, "Pu'er health care, it just so happens that I have been troubled by something in recent days, Mr. Qian's gift is really wonderful."

"It is Qian Rong's honor to be able to relieve the Ninth Prince's worries." Qian Rong replied.

"Oh," Zhuang Jiu put away the Pu-erh tea on his right hand to show that he really liked it, but he smiled again and sighed softly, "If Mr. Qian can relieve Zhuang Jiu's worries, Zhuang Jiu should be grateful Not to mention. To tell you the truth, Mr. Qian, I have grown a lot of gray hair recently."

Qian Rong glanced at him, with black and glossy hair all over his head, smiled lightly and said, "If you pluck out the white hair on the [-]th, you will never be born again."

"Oh, that's just right. Today is the nineteenth day of the eighth month. I just don't know if Mr. Qian is willing to be the one who pulls the whites out?" Zhuang Jiu asked with a smile.

"What Qian Rong can do, we must do it with all our strength." Qian Rong clasped his fists and said.

"That's really great." Zhuang Jiufu laughed again.

The people around watched the two men's hypocrisy and tai chi, and they all twitched secretly in their hearts.Originally, looking at the handsome and young Mr. Qian, he thought that he would suffer some losses from their ninth master, but unexpectedly, it was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Thinking of this, I still have some expectations││The two personal servants looked at each other and exchanged a look.

Playing with the Pu'er tea in his hand, Zhuang Jiu smiled playfully.

"Zhao Xiaoqiang," Zhuang Jiu said, "What do you think of Mr. Qian?"

"Well, gentle and polite, neither humble nor overbearing." Zhao Xiaoqiang replied after recalling the valet who was accompanying him today and also the head of the secret guard.

"Nonsense," Zhuang Jiu was still smiling, "It's obviously cold and distant, with needles hidden in the cotton."

"...Yes." Zhao Xiaoqiang curled his lips secretly, you always know what you are asking me for.

"Today he answered me fluently, but they were all in his name, and he didn't mention Yinsong Castle at all." Zhuang Jiu curled his lips and squinted his eyes, "Mu Xiu, Gongsun Ji, Qian Rong, the three major members of Yinsong Castle Counselor. I have been thinking about who they will let me fight this time..."

"Who do you want to compete with?" Zhao Xiaoqiang asked.

"Mu Xiu is cunning, and Gongsun Ji is tactful." Zhuang Jiu looked at the tea leaves, took out a tea knife and began to chop them up. "Qian Rong is low-key, like the bamboo leaf green we drink today."

Hearing these plausible words, Zhao Xiaoqiang twitched his lips secretly: "Then you next││"

"Mr. Qian wants to play Tai Chi with me." Zhuang Jiu took out a piece of tea, put it into a white jade pot, and poured boiling water. "Of course I want to have fun with him."

"Master, I can't fall asleep after drinking tea at this time." Zhao Xiaoqiang reminded.

"It's okay, if you can't sleep, go out and watch the moon. The moon is still very bright just after the Mid-Autumn Festival." Zhuang Jiu said with a smile.

"Master Qian?" Zhang Lishan found Qian Rong in the back garden, and was drinking osmanthus wine alone facing the moon.

"You're here, just right, sit down." Qian Rong waved his hand, "Come and drink with me."

"No," Zhang Lishan waved his hands again and again, "My lord knows my wife is a tiger, so asking me to drink will push me into the fire pit..."

There was a faint smile on the corner of Qian Rong's mouth: "The relationship between Li Shan and his sister-in-law is still as good as ever."

Zhang Lishan finally understood: "Master, you did it on purpose."

Qian Rong blinked: "Li Shan's words are wrong, what did I do on purpose?"

Zhang Lishan sat down and smiled: "Lishan came here to ask how your meeting with the Nine Kings went during the day."

"Oh," Qian Rong poured another glass of wine for himself, and stroked the rim with one finger, "Jiu Wang, he is really young, handsome and unrestrained."

"..." Zhang Lishan resisted the urge to roll his eyes, "I mean, have you found out his intentions?"

A relative of the emperor, who made trouble for Yinsong Castle for no reason, had a reason.

"He's been worrying a lot lately, and he wants to find someone to pull out his gray hair." Qian Rong replied lightly.

"What does that have to do with us?" Zhang Lishan asked.

"He wants to ally with Yinsongbao." Qian Rong simply threw out the answer.

"Then what he did was the opposite?" Zhang Lishan was puzzled.

Qian Rong smiled and drank the wine in his glass: "If he really wants to touch us, he won't just scratch the itch. He probably did these things just to get our attention."

"Then why didn't you say it clearly?" Zhang Lishan frowned.

"I don't want others to know." Qian Rong replied.

Zhang Lishan didn't ask anymore, because he knew that if he continued to ask, he probably wouldn't be able to get an answer, so he thought about it, and then asked, "What is Master Qian going to do?"

"I gave him a hundred-year-old Pu'er today, and now I just wait to see how he repays me." Qian Rong said with a smile.

After all, Zhang Lishan still twitched the corners of his mouth. This Lord Qian was not as popular as the other two Castle Lord's assistants, and he looked young and handsome, but in fact, he was very bright in his heart.

On the second day, the Nine Kings sent a post, inviting Qian Rong to go to the No. [-] Restaurant in the Imperial City to have a banquet together.

Qian Rong raised his eyebrows, accepted the greeting card, and told the sender that he would arrive on time, and thanked Jiu Wang in advance.

If you don't move, it is taken from the Buddha's verse, and the vegetables sold are naturally vegetarian.But his vegetarian dishes are extremely delicious, and the shopkeeper and the chef are gentlemen. There is a long queue outside the shop, and only those who are destined to come in to eat.

Thanks to the blessing of the Nine Kings, this time he can also be a predestined person.

At noon, when Qian Rong arrived at the door of the store, a waiter greeted him and asked with a smile, "Mr. Qian? Please."

It appears to have been taken care of.Qian Rong nodded politely, followed Xiao Er into the shop and upstairs.

The interior of the store is quite simple, with old tables, old benches and old screens.Zhuang Jiu had already sat down in a private room. When he saw Qian Ronglai, he invited him to sit down and ordered the food to be served.

"Mr. Qian, do you like this place?" Zhuang Jiu smiled very friendly.

"Ninth Prince's taste is of course extraordinary. It is Qian Rong's honor to come here to eat." Qian Rong said with a smile.

While chatting and laughing, the dishes arrived on the table one by one, and finally, the shopkeeper personally carried a wine jar weighing about three catties.Qian Rong raised his eyebrows slightly.

Zhuang Jiu said with a smile: "Buddha has a benevolent heart and does not kill, so here we eat vegetarian dishes, but the wine is made from whole grains, so the shopkeeper is full of fine wine here."

The chubby shopkeeper smiled very kindly: "I have admired Mr. Qian's demeanor for a long time. It is fate to meet you today. I have hidden this bamboo leaf green for many years. I would like to invite the Ninth Prince to taste it with Mr. Qian."

"Thank you shopkeeper." Qian Rong quickly returned a gift.

Together with the shopkeeper, Zhangfeng patted off the sealing mud and red silk on the jar, and the aroma of the wine wafted away immediately.Zhuang Jiu laughed and took the jar, filling three bowls for Qian Rong and himself.

"Mr. Qian, please!" Zhuang Jiu picked up a bowl and smiled at Qian Rong.

With a smile on the corner of Qian Rong's mouth, he picked up the bowl in front of him without any hesitation: "Thank you, Lord Ninth, for your hospitality."

The two clinked bowls, raised their heads and drank it all in one gulp. When the bowl was put down, Qian Rong turned his own bowl upside down and showed it to Zhuang Jiu to show that he didn't have a drop left.

Zhuang Jiu laughed loudly: "I can't see that Mr. Qian is so big."

Qian Rong smiled, and picked up the second bowl: "This bowl is for Qian Rong to respect the Ninth Prince, so do it first."

After finishing speaking, he drank it without stopping, and Zhuang Jiu also drank it with him.

Then came the third bowl.

Standing behind Zhuang Jiu was Zhao Xiaoqiang, who was a little inferior to his lord. He couldn't hide his eyes like that. He had already shown surprise when Qian Rong drank the first bowl.

When the Nine Kings came out, they originally intended to be a bit difficult, but the man seemed to be full of manners, and he did not frown when he drank three bowls of Zhuyeqing in one go.

Zhuang Jiu no longer concealed the admiration in his eyes, and he wanted to fill up for the two of them, but was blocked by Qian Rong.

Qian Rong reached out to take the wine jar, bowed slightly, and took over Zhuang Jiu's action: "In terms of status, it's Qian Rong who pours wine for the prince."

"I appreciate your talent," Zhuang Jiu said, "so don't worry about Lao Shizi's status."

Qian Rong paused and put down the wine jar: "Thank you, my lord, for your appreciation."

Zhuang Jiu picked up the bowl: "I respect you like this wine."

Qian Rong bumped into him: "Your Highness is too famous."

"Where is the reputation? There are many capable people in Yinsong Castle, and you are one of the top three counselors at a young age." After drinking the wine, Zhuang Jiu picked up his chopsticks and began to pick up vegetables. "You have a noble temperament and can plan strategies."

Qian Rong replied unhurriedly: "Compared to Wang Ye's natural aura, Qian Rong is still far behind."

Zhuang Jiu shook his head with a smile, and even though he was eating, he smiled and listened to the nonsense, thinking that your aura sitting here may not be worse than that of my prince.

The cold person in front of him was smiling all the time, but that smile never seemed to see him.There is no fawning and fawning, no prudence of sincerity, the soldiers come to cover up the water and the earth, and it is a joy to fight against him one by one.

The cunning and smoothness of the counselor of Silverpine Castle, it seems that this one is not far behind the others.It's just that there seems to be something missing between the words and deeds.Zhuang Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking carefully, what exactly is it?

Qian Rong is such a careful person, how can he be unaware of being scrutinized and judged secretly, but he is still calm, full of laughter, without any extra emotion.

After drinking for three rounds, Qian Rong's face was still fair, without any redness or smell of alcohol.Zhuang Jiu seemed a little more drunk than him.

Zhao Xiaoqiang looked at the two, why did he suddenly feel that his lord had lost a little bit this round?

After eating the food and drinking the wine, Zhuang Jiu ordered people to remove the remnant seats and serve green tea.

It's good to have a conversation again, nothing more than weather, people's livelihood, food, beautiful scenery and so on.After a while, someone came to Zhuang Jiu's side and whispered something in his ear. Then Zhuang Jiu turned to Qian Rong and said, "I wanted to have a good chat with Mr. Qian today, but just now my subordinate reported some things that I need to deal with..."

"My lord is going to attend to your affairs." Qian Rong replied.

The two talked and laughed again and got up.

The stamina of the wine was getting stronger, but the two of them kept steady, and their faces remained unchanged, but when they reached the stairs, Qian Rong still staggered a little, and Zhuang Jiuyanji quickly supported his arm.But Qian Rong frowned slightly, and there was a hint of dark anger in his eyes.

││This is it!

Zhuang Jiu's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and he finally knew what the missing feeling was││

Qian Rong had already returned to normal, withdrew his arm without a trace, and saluted Zhuang Jiu: "Thank you, my lord."

"Brother Qian, you are being polite." Zhuang Jiu said.

Qian Rong paused for a moment, then smiled and waved his hands and said, "Please, my lord."

Inside the Nine Kings Mansion.

Seeing the corners of his mouth curled up, his eyes squinted, and the body of the purple sand pot carefully rubbing, which was soaking in the piece of Pu'er tea that Qian Rong had given him, Zhao Xiaoqiang and Qin Gang looked at each other and asked, "My lord? "

"Huh?" Zhuang Jiu moved slightly.

"I want to remind you that it's been a quarter of an hour, and the tea should be too old." Zhao Xiaoqiang said.

"Oh." Zhuang Jiu took a few sips from the spout.

"..." Zhao Xiaoqiang pulled the corner of his mouth.

After a while, Zhuang Jiu said lazily, "You want to ask me what I think of Qian Rong?"

"……Yes."

"What did I say earlier about him, hiding a needle in the cotton?" Zhuang Jiu asked himself and answered, drinking tea again, remembering the fleeting look of impatience he saw today, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Perhaps, isn't that the case? "

"My lord, will you admit that you were blind?" Zhao Xiaoqiang shrugged quietly.

Zhuang Jiu just smiled and drank tea again: "It means that he hides deep enough, how many people in the world may have been deceived..."

"Then, are you saying that your own sharp eyes are superior to others?" Zhao Xiaoqiang tried his best to talk to him unremittingly.

Zhuang Jiu glanced at him, and he immediately put away his laughing expression and stood upright with his head held high.

"It's impossible to be superior," Zhuang Jiu narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, as if he was recalling, "It's just that he has a cold demeanor. I'm afraid there are not many people in the world who can face him and calm down to look at him."

Either despise or be suppressed, that person's eyes are very deep.

"...So you still want to say, sir..." The corners of Zhao Xiaoqiang's mouth twitched.

"I just want to say that I happen to be very concerned about this matter, so I am very careful with him." Zhuang Jiu said lightly, "I finally let me see something that others have not seen."

"Then what are you going to do next?" Zhao Xiaoqiang asked simply.

"I plan to..." A faint smile appeared on the corner of Zhuang Jiu's mouth, "Get to know Mr. Qian better and more deeply. Speaking of which, he has made me more interested in Yinsong Castle."

Seeing that he seemed to be playing tricks, the two guards shrugged their shoulders. Their aptitudes were dull and they couldn't figure out what the prince was thinking, but that smile was common││It seems that someone is going to be unlucky?

"Master Qian," Zhang Lishan said after entering the study, "The Nine Kings are here."

Qian Rong raised his eyebrows, stood up and said, "You came without saying hello? What are you doing here?"

Zhang Lishan really wanted to hold him back and said, he is a prince, so of course he came whenever he wanted.

Zhuang Jiu has been invited to sit in the hall.As soon as he saw Qian Rong appearing, he smiled and got up to greet him: "Brother Qian!"

Qian Rong was secretly taken aback, what is this going to do?

Zhuang Jiu turned a blind eye to the suspicion deep in Qian Rong's eyes, and warmly took his hand: "Come and sit!"

"... Please, my lord." Qian Rong smiled.

After sitting down, Zhuang Jiu didn't let go, snapped his fingers with the other hand, and Zhao Xiaoqiang, who had been standing behind, stepped forward, holding a brocade box in both hands.

"Brother Qian, this is the thank you gift for giving me Pu'er tea last time. Please don't hold it against me." Zhuang Jiu took the box and handed it to Qian Rong.

Qian Rong smiled politely, took it and opened it. It was a tea set made of white jade, delicate and clear.

After closing the lid of the box, Qian Rong said, "Thank you, my lord."

"You're welcome, you're welcome, brother Qian, why are you being polite to me?" Zhuang Jiu patted Qian Rong's shoulder affectionately, "Actually, compared to the piece of tea you gave me, I can't be called sincere at all. , so I was very apprehensive before, I hope Brother Qian, you will not dislike him."

Zhang Lishan was dumbfounded, when did his Master Qian and the Nine Kings get so close?

Zhao Xiaoqiang also tugged at the corner of his mouth, it turned out that it was Mr. Qian who was "followed" by the Nine Kings.

Qian Rong put down the box, maintaining a smile on his face: "Excuse me, my lord, why are you here this time?"

"Give a gift." Zhuang Jiu sat upright, took a sip of the tea that was served just now.

"You are so generous, Qian is terrified." Qian Rong lowered his head slightly and said.

"No, it's just an excuse." Zhuang Jiu put down his teacup, "Actually, I missed you, so I came here uninvited. I hope I didn't bother you."

"Cough cough cough..." Zhang Lishan was really choking on his own saliva and couldn't control it, so he could only salute to the two people in the hall, and then went out beating his chest.

And Qian Rong, who had already raised his eyes, looked at Zhuang Jiu's eyes that suddenly became deep, and narrowed his eyes slightly││

"I, I actually fell in love with you, Brother Qian, at first sight... When I was alone in the palace these days, your figure and your smile always appeared in my mind... It made me never forget, and it was always you in my dreams." ..." Zhuang Jiu said seriously, "I can't bear the pain of lovesickness, so I just found something and came to see you, I hope you, I hope you, don't dislike me."

"..."

Not to mention Qian Rong, even Zhao Xiaoqiang was overwhelmed by these sincere words.

Beautiful man, this trick has never been used before...

It's just that Qian Rong is worthy of being Qian Rong. After a moment of stunned, he realized: "My lord, don't make fun of me..."

Hearing this, Zhuang Jiu was taken aback for a moment, and slowly let go of Qian Rong's hand: "Do you think I'm joking..."

Qian Rong finally withdrew his hand, still smiling faintly: "My lord must be driving..."

"I'll make you believe me." Zhuang Jiufu smiled again, his eyes were shining, and he stared straight at Qian Rong.

"Qian Rong is terrified. Qian Rong is a grass-roots person. I'm afraid he won't be able to receive such great love." Qian Rong stood up and saluted.

"Of course you can." Zhuang Jiu also stood up and said with a smile, "Unless, you are saying that the king has bad eyesight?"

Qian Rong looked at him and said nothing.

Zhuang Jiu accepted it when he saw it: "The gift has been delivered, and I have expressed my heart, so I won't bother you any more."

"...Walk slowly, my lord." Qian Rong waved his hand without leaving him.

"Don't send it away," Zhuang Jiu took his hand again, "I don't expect you to respond immediately to what I said, but I hope you can take it seriously."

After Zhuang Jiu turned around and went out with his guards, Qian Rong brushed the sleeve that Zhuang Jiu touched just now.

"Master Qian?" Zhang Lishan asked tentatively.

Qian Rong didn't answer, just glanced at him with his eyes expressionless, he couldn't tell what he was thinking.Zhang Lishan didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, he always felt that Qian Rong was so unpredictable, so there must be some kind of countermeasure.
