Nine princes get married

From then on, the palace was really no longer lonely. One was outside and the other was inside, and the business flourished.

The two had been married for almost three months, and the servants in the palace had gradually gotten used to having an extra male concubine to serve them, and the master in the palace had already gotten used to having an extra male concubine to tease.

The mansion is much more lively than before. For example, the servant girls and guards almost always have some sideshows to watch after eating and drinking, such as now.

Compared with Qian Rong, Zhuang Jiu's kung fu is actually a little bit worse, but he often provokes Qian Rong to compete with each other.The reason is very legitimate and sufficient: "You need to practice your skills a lot so that you can defend yourself against the enemy."

Naturally, small money cannot be refused.

However, like everything else involving Zhuang Jiu, there is always a but.

After dozens of moves, both of them seemed more than relaxed.But Xiaoqian is much more tired than Zhuang Jiu──he can't hurt Jiu Wang, and can't let people take advantage of the opportunity.

One inattentively, Xiaoqian was shaken by Zhuang Jiuxu, and he got behind him, locked his waist, locked his throat and locked his hands, and then he was blown softly behind his ears.

Xiaoqian's ears turned red immediately, he shook his hands and broke free, turned around and slapped Zhuang Jiu on the shoulder.The force was a little heavier, Zhuang Jiu couldn't dodge in time, caught the palm of his hand, took a few steps back, and stopped the attack: "It hurts, it hurts..."

... Xiaoqian clenched his fists tightly, trying his best to hold back the slap in the face of that vile person.

Qin Gang looked at the sky and the earth, then at Zhao Xiaoqiang beside him, and shrugged.This scene was fresh when I first watched it, and I was worried when I watched it again, and then it was a lively scene. Now it seems that it has long been ignored by dogs.

Zhuang Jiu covered his shoulders with his hands, and secretly looked at Qian Rong, who stared at him expressionlessly, with a spark of forbearance burning in his eyes.

That's it, Zhuang Jiu likes this lively and aura look the most.But this time - taking a sneak peek again - seems to be a bit too much...

Qian Rong stared at him for a long time, then suddenly flicked his sleeves: "I suddenly feel unwell, so I won't practice with the prince anymore."

"Are you really angry?" Zhuang Jiu cautiously probed.

Qian Rong ignored him: "I'll go back to the house to rest first, my lord, please do what you want."

"Hey, Xiaoqian..." Zhuang Jiu reached out to grab his sleeve, but was ruthlessly dodged.

Seeing Qian Rong turn back to the room without hesitation, Zhuang Jiu pursed his lips and looked innocent: "Why is this..."

The two behind them resisted the urge to roll their eyes. Isn't this just three simple and easy-to-understand words—you asked for it!

Back in the house, Xiaoqian took a sip of tea.

In fact, he wasn't that angry, it was just that the resentment that had been pent up for the past few days suddenly exploded.

Everyone in the palace, without knowing it, felt that the two of them were arguing and loving each other, and those who knew also felt that the direction of Jiu Wang's feelings towards him was very subtle.It seems that you are really moved?

──Ah, what a trick!That person is just pretending, pretending to be affectionate, pretending to be a rascal, true and false, for fear that the world will see it clearly—I am afraid that even he himself will not be able to understand it, that is the best.

So Zhuang Jiu was entangled with Qian Rong a little bit, but he always knew how to measure and never crossed the line, only occasionally teasing and teasing at the sideline.

For Zhuang Jiu like this, Qian Rong was a little annoyed that he couldn't tell the reason.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, the Nine Kings, as he himself said, "love his wife", "respect his wife" and "fear his wife", that's all...

So the servants of the palace only knew that the princess was vigorous and ruthless—it didn't match her delicate appearance—she was especially strict with the prince, and the prince was very tolerant.There are not many people who know Qian Rong's real identity, they are all confidantes who have followed Zhuang Jiu for many years.

On the second day, the Nine Kings rushed home in a hurry.

"Aifei, I'm back." Zhuang Jiu entered the bedroom with a gorgeous and delicate food box in his hand.

Qian Rong was reading on the imperial concubine's couch without even moving.

"My dear concubine, today the emperor rewarded my concubine Nan with tea from the southern country. I didn't eat a bite, so I brought it back for you." Zhuang Jiu smiled purely to please her.

"Is it sweet?" Qian Rong's gaze shifted from the book.

"Neither sweet nor sweet. Nanfei's craftsmanship has always been praised by the emperor, and she rarely makes it herself. This tea is not greasy at all, it melts in the mouth, and the fragrance is pleasant..." Zhuang Jiu stopped, "Try it Try it."

"En." Qian Rong nodded, "Thank you."

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Zhuang Jiu immediately stepped forward, picked up the food box, and opened it.

Sure enough, they looked exquisite and lovely, there were only six of them, all of them were in front of Qian Rong's nose.

Looking into Zhuang Jiu's puppy-like eyes, even though Qian Rong knew his true nature, he couldn't bear to reject his kindness.He picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth, it was as delicious as Zhuang Jiu described.Qian Rong tasted it carefully, and after swallowing it all, he said, "It's really delicious. You can eat it too."

Zhuang Jiu smiled and shook his head: "No, I just brought it back for you to eat."

Qian Rong was helpless: "Then you put it down first, and I will eat slowly."

"Okay." Zhuang Jiu immediately took the order, and put the food box on the small tea table that was easily accessible beside Qian Rong.

Zhao Xiaoqiang outside saw the faces of the two passing maids full of ambiguity and envy, and muttered softly, "The prince really loves his wife so much, and the master really loves his wife so much." He reluctantly exchanged a look with Qin Gang on the opposite side. , thinking tacitly, my lord, you play like this every day, and occasionally you can change it...

There was a letter on the small coffee table, which came from Yinsong Castle. Seeing that Zhuang Jiu was reading the letter, Qian Rong picked it up and handed it to him: "It's the owner of the castle. They said they will come over in about half a month."

Zhuang Jiu took it over and took out the letterhead to read it, then nodded: "Although we are not here for business this time, we still have to do our best as landlords."

"Yes." Qian Rong replied, "Master's health is gradually improving. This time I came to see Dr. Huang for consultation, hoping to eradicate his congenital chronic diseases."

"Your master," Zhuang Jiu shook his head with a smile, "it's already so good with a weak body, if the body recovers, wouldn't the sky be turned upside down?"

Qian Rong looked at him with contempt: "Do you think everyone is like you?"

The young master's status in Silver Pine Castle is now established, and he accompanied the castle master in and out. Although his body is weak and his voice is soft, his mind is careful and calm. Although he is neither evil nor kind, it is no wonder that Zhuang Jiu said this.But he and Gongsun Ji also knew a thing or two in their hearts that the young master only had an obsession with their castle master.

"Me? What about me?" Zhuang Jiu suddenly became interested.

Qian Rong looked him up and down, and then said: "It's hard to tell the truth from the fake, treacherous, cunning, and ambitious."

Zhuang Jiu twitched the corner of his mouth.

Qian Rong smiled: "But he is extremely talented, proud, loyal, trustworthy, handsome and unrestrained."

Zhuang Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then there was a look of joy on his brows: "The truth?"

The corner of Qian Rong's mouth curved: "You guess?"

"..."

Zhuang Jiu was really bored, so he honestly tried to guess which of Qian Rong's words was the truth, and walked around Qian Rong when he had nothing to do, showing very innocent and tangled eyes.Qian Rong only wished he had lifted a rock and shot himself in the foot.

Fortunately, although Zhuang Jiu is a relative of the emperor, he has to go up and down every day, and in the rest of the time he has to fight wits and courage with several hostile forces, which is really busy.

Qian Rong really didn't know why Zhuang Jiu insisted on such a sentence, it was just a joke, so why take it seriously.As for the truth, what kind of person Zhuang Jiu is, would he not be clear?

Shaking his head, he was a little tired after working at his desk all morning. Qian Rong put down his pen, got up and sat down in the Taishi chair, and made himself a pot of tea.

He was a little angry these days, so Zhuang Jiu specially offered him high-quality green tea to clear away his heat.

Hmph, I don't even think about who provoked him all the time.

Actually, speaking of it, Qian Rong himself would be secretly annoyed.Since when did he have such a temper in front of Zhuang Jiu?When we first met, wasn't he quite steady and indifferent?

He patted his forehead lightly, and sighed that Zhuang Jiu really had the ability.

At noon, Zhuang Jiu didn't come back. He was very busy these days.Qian Rong ate his lunch in the huge dining room by himself, then went to the study to work.He is the "Nine Princesses" in name, but in fact he is still the manager of the Imperial City Branch, and because of the alliance, he has to help Zhuang Jiu with a lot of things, and he is even busier than before.

After signing several documents, he was about to pick up the letter on the other side, but accidentally knocked over the teacup, and was annoyed to clean it up, but saw Zhao Xiaoqiang barging in with a rare panic on his face.

"What's the matter?" Qian Rong frowned, with a bad premonition in his heart.

"Master Qian, my lord has been kidnapped!" Zhao Xiaoqiang counted nervously.

"Snapped"!The teacup that was knocked over just now fell to the ground and shattered after turning around a few times.

"Calm down and explain the matter clearly." Qian Rong got up and said solemnly.

"Yes," Zhao Xiaoqiang reproached himself, lowered his head, and replied, "Today, the prince is eating at Rurudong at noon. After eating, we followed him, but suddenly dozens of crazy horses rushed out and drove us away. They all dispersed, and we kept vigilance all the time, but I still saw the figure of the prince at the first glance, but disappeared at the next glance. Afterwards, the scene calmed down, and the hidden guards followed the traces to look for someone everywhere, but they couldn't find him. Now, this subordinate knows that he has neglected his duty, so he came back to plead guilty, and asked Lord Qian to find a way to find the prince!"

Qian Rong frowned: "It's not ordinary to be able to take people away under the noses of your secret guards, so don't blame yourself too much."

"Subordinates don't want to make excuses for themselves──"

"Then wait for the prince to come back, and you can plead guilty to him yourself." Qian Rong said lightly, "What has he been busy with recently, you can ask someone to make a list, and also list the places he has been to recently, mainly Who are the enemies, and who are the recent actions aimed at, and tell me in detail."

"Yes!"

After Zhao Xiaoqiang withdrew, Qian Rongcai sat back on the chair again, looked at the mess in front of him and at his feet, and frowned.Just now, for a moment, he lost the calm and self-control he was so proud of.But it's no wonder he, Zhuang Jiu is a relative of the emperor, and he is such an important person to Yinsongbao.So it's inevitable to be nervous---telling himself like this, Qian Rong forced himself to calm down, thinking about the cause and effect of the matter, deliberately ignoring the flash of panic in his heart just now.

Such a cunning person as Zhuang Jiu was taken captive in broad daylight. There are no more than three people in the imperial city who can do this.

The capital city is not big, but there are many unknown places in this bustling and lively city.

There is a villa in the outskirts, imitating the pattern of the Jiangnan water town, with rockery and flowing water, small bridges and rocks, which is unique and elegant.After entering the gate, you have to make nine bends and eighteen bends to get to the main house.

On this day, the third prince took his confidantes and turned around the nine twists and eighteen turns, but instead of going to the main house, he went to the woodshed.I don't know which skillful craftsman built the other hall, even the firewood room was built with many organs.

The subordinate patted the handle on the door, and a floor was removed from a corner of the room.Someone opened the way ahead, and the third prince followed in with his hands behind his back.

The underground is not as complicated as the ground. After walking through the long corridor, there is a stone room that is scorched by fire.There are many fancy things in the stone room, surrounded by a man with his upper body naked, his hands and feet pulled apart by iron chains.

The man's hair was messy, and his face was covered with blood, covering most of his features, but he couldn't hide the sneer and disapproval in his eyes.The sturdy body is also covered with welts, some of which are deep enough to show the bones.

"I've seen the prince!" The person who was waiting in the torture room immediately said respectfully when he saw the person coming.

"Oh, oh, Xiao Jiu, why are you doing this?" The third prince went straight to the man, stopped five steps away, and shook his head as if sighing, "This king just wants you to say a word, look at you, Make yourself like this."

Zhuang Jiu evoked a smile: "Thank you, Brother Sanhuang, for your concern."

"Xiao Jiu," the third prince shook his head, "You have always been the smartest of us brothers, you know that you have been missing for more than two days, there must be a large group of people looking for you."

"But I can't guess why Brother Sanhuang made such a direct move this time?" Zhuang Jiu looked puzzled.

"Didn't I already said it just now, I just asked you for a word."

"Xiao Jiu has already said that, Xiao Jiu doesn't know anything, especially what Brother Sanhuang wants to know, and Xiao Jiu doesn't even know." Zhuang Jiu said very sincerely.

But when the voice just fell, he was slapped and turned his head: "Dare to speak to the prince in such a tone!"

Zhuang Jiu looked at the man who beat him in confusion: "Brother, I am also a prince, how dare you greet me like this?"

"Yes, you are also a prince, but you are also a prisoner of our prince." The man raised his head and said disdainfully.

"Qin Chu, don't be rude." The Third Prince said.

"Yes, my lord." The person called Qin Chu stepped back.

"Xiao Jiu," the third prince said leisurely, "We are also brothers. Let me tell you the truth, there are many people looking for you."

"Oh."

"Can you find this problem..." the third prince said, "Recently, Turkic spies came to Beijing, and everyone's attention was drawn to that side."

"Brother Sanhuang must have done something here." Zhuang Jiu nodded.

"So, if you would rather die than obey, I can make it happen." The third prince said earnestly, "Either you tell me, or you never tell anyone, it will be beneficial to me. "

After Zhuang Jiu smiled slightly, he lowered his eyelids and frowned, as if he was thinking.

"Think about it again." The third prince nodded, "By the way, by the way, I remind you that my place is the prince's other hall, and not many people dare to trespass. It is true that you have dead men, but there is no leader among the dragons, I'm afraid they And don’t dare to mess around.”

Zhuang Jiu frowned even deeper, and even ignored him.

So the third prince shook his hands, turned around, and before going out, he seemed to think of something, and said to the people on both sides: "Don't be rough on the ninth prince, at least he is a prince, maybe he can't turn over."

"Yes." The people on both sides replied.

But after the third prince left, the people who stayed behind sneered and looked at the person who seemed to be deep in thought: "Yeah, he is a prince anyway, and it is rare to be in trouble. Usually, the younger ones are bullied by the big officials. Taste the taste of bullying the prince."

The pawn turned around behind the Nine Kings, picked up the whip that had been soaked in salt water and swung it hard.But still did not hear the man who was born with pride cry out in pain.

"Who is it?!" The person standing outside the door could only exhale, and was wiped by a hand behind his neck.

The man in black put down the silent man, and nodded to the man in black who was prostrate on the ground or hidden behind the rockery.After watching them follow, he took the lead into the woodshed.It looked the same on the surface. After searching around, the man looked inquiringly at the group of people who followed behind him.

Then two people came out and searched the room.

The noise can already be heard outside.The man walked quickly to the door, seeing the fire approaching not far away, he couldn't help but look up at the two people who were looking for the mechanism.

With every second counting, the agency has not been found yet, but the person from the other side has already arrived.

"Who dares to break into the Third Prince's villa?!"

Qin Chu shouted and glared angrily at the thirty people in front of him.

The leader of the man in black winked at the people around him, then drew his sword and stepped forward with lightning speed.

The atmosphere was on the verge of breaking out, and the two parties quickly surrounded them, only waiting for the moment between lightning and flint.

Obviously, the man in black's skill was a bit higher than Qin Chu's, and he immediately gained the upper hand.However, behind Qin Chu there was a master of hidden weapons, several flying knives flashing coldly came through the wind, and after the man in black dodged the few in front, he insisted on eating one on his shoulder.Qin Chu was about to take the opportunity to kill him with a single blow, but he was overjoyed and exposed his flaws, and he pierced his chest with a backhand sword.

"Master Qin!" Seeing that the leader was injured, the people over there roared angrily and rushed forward.

The man in black was about to meet him, but the two people who were looking for the mechanism before finally found the handle on the door, broke it open, and moved the bricks on the ground away.

The other two men in black stepped forward, helped up the companion who was injured on the left shoulder, and quickly retreated into the woodshed.

Zhuang Jiu buried his head, his eyes were covered with blood, and he couldn't see clearly ahead, but he could vaguely hear the movement, and then gradually approached.The corner of the mouth curled up in an arc, and he looked up.After a while, he saw the figure of the man in black amidst the blood red.

"My lord." The leader was Qian Rong, who called out in a low voice, which was originally a clean voice mixed with a hint of hoarseness.

Zhuang Jiu was a little puzzled and shook his head, but he still couldn't see clearly.

Others cut off the shackles on his hands and feet, and put a coat on him.Zhuang Jiu touched his wrist, stepped forward, and grabbed Qian Rong's wrist: "Thank you for saving me, my lady."

...The scene suddenly fell silent, and the sounds of fighting outside became clearer.

"Cough," someone said, "what should we do now?"

"Stunned and dragged away." Qian Rong gave an order, turned around and left while pressing his shoulders.

"My lady, please don't..."

Pain in the back of the neck, before falling into darkness, he managed to hum: "Zhao Xiaoqiang, how dare you..."

"My lord is very physically exhausted, you protect him well." Qian Rong said lightly.

"Yes." The person behind replied, the second half of the sentence "Niang Niang" was swallowed in his stomach and did not dare to say it.

So Ninth Princess Qian Rong led thirty dead men, faced heavy siege, forced a bloody way, and rescued the unconscious Zhuang Jiu from the Third Prince's villa.

Of the thirty dead, three were seriously injured and five were lightly injured.Qian Rong's left shoulder was injured by a flying knife fed with poison. After breaking out of the siege and joining the reinforcements, he couldn't hold on anymore and fell unconscious.

Blinking his eyelids lightly, he felt a little heavy.Gradually regaining consciousness, the man muttered and wanted to make a sound, but found that his voice was hoarse.

Then he felt that someone helped him up, and there was warm water near his mouth, so he opened his mouth and drank slowly.The man's movements were very gentle, as if he was afraid of choking him.

Feeling enough, he shook his head lightly, the man immediately understood, took the cup away and put it on the bedside table next to him, and then supported him to lean on.

After calming down for a while, he slowly opened his eyes and saw the concerned face in front of him.

"You finally woke up." Zhuang Jiu said in a deep voice, "How do you feel?"

Qian Rong blinked: "It's okay, except that some internal energy hasn't returned."

"That's good," Zhuang Jiu smiled, "Thank you for your hard work."

"...It should be." Qian Rong said lightly, "Are you okay?"

"It's all flesh wounds, it's not a problem." Zhuang Jiu grabbed his hair and gently ran it down, "It was you who frightened me. When I woke up, I found that you were in a coma, so I invited Doctor Huang to replace you. After seeing the disease and getting rid of the poison, I feel relieved."

"..." Qian Rong really wanted to knock his claws off, but he couldn't do what he wanted, so he could only ask, "How long have I been unconscious?"

"Three or four days." Zhuang Jiu replied, "People in the mansion are also in a hurry."

It is true that Cao Cao and Cao Cao will be there, because the door is not closed. When Zhao Xiaoqiang came to visit the princess and report to the Nine Kings, he saw this soft and affectionate scene, and immediately felt a chill behind him.He wanted to retreat, but the Nine Kings had already heard his visit, so they could only pretend that they hadn't seen anything, and said: "My subordinates see you, Master Qian."

"Come in." Jiu Wang said, let go of the man in his arms, and set up a pillow for him to lean on.Then walk to the table by yourself.

"Is Master Qian all right?" Zhao Xiaoqiang said.

"It's much better, thank you for your concern." Although his breath was still a little weak, Qian Rong replied softly.

"It should." Zhao Xiaoqiang said, "If it weren't for you, how could we have rescued the prince so smoothly."

"You have merit too, I am not much different from you." Qian Rong said.

"Where is there..." Zhao Xiaoqiang said in his heart, you are a princess, how can you be "not much different" from us?But he didn't dare to say these words - all the confidants of the Nine Kings knew that Master Qian from Yinsong Castle was married to the Nine Kings in a fake way, and what annoyed him most was the status of this "Prince Concubine".Of course, there are still people who are not afraid of death called "lady lady", and almost all of them end up dying miserably.

"Let's get down to business." Zhuang Jiu said.

"Yes." Zhao Xiaoqiang stepped forward and presented him with a small wax-sealed pill in his hand.

Zhuang Jiu took it, squeezed the wax, pulled out a note, read it, threw it into the brazier next to it and burned it.

"My lord, how is the situation?" Zhao Xiaoqiang asked.

"The booklet has been well hidden in the south. It is impossible for the third prince to find it for a while. If there is any movement from him, we will find a way to deal with it."

"Why didn't he treat you like this this time..." Zhao Xiaoqiang was puzzled.

"That booklet is a great pawn, it's not worth using it for such a trivial matter." Jiu Wang said lightly.

"Yes." Zhao Xiaoqiang nodded, "There is nothing else to report. What else does the prince want?"

"No more, go down." Zhuang Jiu said.

"Yes." Zhao Xiaoqiang said, "Please also ask Master Qian to take good care of his illness."

"Thank you for your concern." Qian Rong replied.

After Zhao Xiaoqiang withdrew, Zhuang Jiufu sat by the bed again: "I'm a little sleepy too, you squeeze in and let me go to bed and rest."

"..." Qian Rong tilted his head and looked at him for a while, "You said that you were caught this time, why didn't the third prince treat you well?"

"He wanted to cure him," Zhuang Jiu was very consistent with Qian Rong's description of him, "It's a pity that he didn't."

Qian Rong didn't have the energy to fight him, and then saw his pitiful look: "I have been taking care of you for days and nights without sleep."

Qian Rong looked at the bruises in front of his eyes, after all, he gave in a step and moved inside.The two have been together for a long time, and it is inevitable that there will be some friendship. The bright red blood on Zhuang Jiu's body at that time also slightly hurt his eyes.

Zhuang Jiu happily took off his shoes and went to bed, and pulled the quilt to cover himself.

Qian Rong no longer cared about him, and closed his eyes to rest.

After a long time, I heard the voice of the Ninth Prince so sincere that water dripped out: "Thank you, Xiaoqian."

"My concubine, the emperor asked about you today." After the court, Zhuang Jiu returned to the main house, changed into his normal clothes, and said to Qian Rong who was reading by the window.

Zhao Xiaoqiang and Qin Gang, who were accompanying them outside, were very disappointed when they saw Qian Rong just gave a faint "hmm"—remember when the princess first entered the mansion, she often ran away because of the prince's "molestation".Now the prince's "molesting" is still the same, but the princess is used to it, and her reaction is very flat.

Everyone in the palace feels that there is a little less fun...

"He asked when you could give me a little son or princess."

"...It's faster for you to carry one directly from the outside."

"It hurts me because you gave birth."

"...My lord, don't give you shame." Even this threatening tone was very indifferent.

Zhuang Jiu had already changed his clothes and walked to Qian Rong's side: "How do you feel today?"

"It's okay." Qian Rong said, "It's just that I'm still a little weak, and I can't gather Qi."

"Get well soon," Zhuang Jiu sighed, "I really miss the scenes where you used to fight with me every now and then..."

Qian Rong glanced at him, and the corner of his mouth twitched faintly.

"Brother Huang said today that I have wronged you." Zhuang Jiu brought the topic back.

"Please tell the emperor, I will not be wronged when you marry a chicken." Qian Rong said again.

Zhuang Jiu sat across from him and sighed softly: "Brother Huang knows the general idea, but the third child has always acted cautiously, and this time is no exception. He has some loyal people who carry it down for him, and the other courtyard will also carry it for him. It's not in his name. I'm the only one who speaks without proof."

"I know." Qian Rong put down the book, "The emperor is very discerning."

"But do you want to say that it's too inhumane for him to let everyone fight without knowing everything?" Zhuang Jiu asked casually.

"I didn't mean that." Qian Rong said lightly.

"But that's what I mean." Zhuang Jiu got up and shook his sleeves, "What do you think I'm doing? What's the reason why I'm trying to endure humiliation and bear the burden of the authorities?"

Qian Rong picked up the book again and didn't answer him again.

In the evening, after eating in the small hall outside the bedroom, Zhuang Jiu ordered someone to warm up two jugs of wine, and wanted to have a drink with the princess.

After all the servants had retreated, Zhuang Jiu condescended to pour wine for Qian Rong himself.Qian Rong was not polite either, and clinked glasses with him for a drink.

Ever since the ninth princess was injured and poisoned because of saving the prince, the ninth prince loved the princess even more, and always handled everything personally, and the servants talked about it behind their backs.Otherwise, the concubine would not always be tossing around until she was "weak and unable to get out of bed" every time, and she would not see her figure until noon or even half the afternoon the next day.

The truth is of course very pure, since Xiaoqian was injured, his drinking power is not as good as before.

Of course Qian Rong knew the ambiguity between the servant's brows and eyes, but he was strangely not angry this time.Or he was helpless, or he was used to it.

"Do you have something to do tomorrow?" Zhuang Jiu asked casually.

"No." Qian Rong looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"Cough," Zhuang Jiu put down his wine glass, this time in a serious manner, "Tomorrow I will attend a regular meeting, and I want you to accompany me."

Qian Rong didn't answer him, but just looked at him suspiciously.Helplessly, the man's face was upright and awe-inspiring, and he couldn't see the slightest clue.

"Okay." Qian Rong agreed with some hesitation.

Zhuang Jiu immediately smiled and opened his eyes: "I knew it, in fact, you are the best to me."

"..."

Looking at the dozens of prominent figures in the lobby, and sitting next to someone in the upper seat, Qian Rong felt like he was on a thief's boat by mistake.

The Nine Kings wore dark red robes, and their gestures were majestic and majestic. The leaders sitting below were all "acquaintances" of the Nine Kings in various walks of life.

It's not like they haven't seen this kind of battle when they were in Silver Pine Castle before, and their advisers can be regarded as a few experts in Silver Pine Castle.But it was the first time to sit in the front seat.

It's not stage fright or embarrassment, it's just that Zhuang Jiuzhi's intentions are very unpredictable by putting him by his side.

Jiu Wang cleared his throat, and the hall who had some voices immediately quieted down.Everyone looked at the lord sitting in the hall.

So Qian Rong was immediately baptized by many "peripheral vision".

Think about it, the nine kings got married, married a male concubine, and loved each other, and it is still a topic of discussion in the imperial city to this day.As for the princess who went deep and simple, most of the people here have only heard of her name, but have never met her, so they are actually very curious.Seeing you now, well, she is really handsome and handsome, and her aura is comparable to that of the Ninth Prince.What a couple of gods...

Qian Rong always felt that his eyelids were twitching and his ears were burning.

Zhuang Jiu said, "Thank you very much for coming to this regular meeting."

"Where is this, this is what we should do, and it is our honor." The leader sitting below, an old man with a white beard in a yellow robe, said immediately.

Zhuang Jiu smiled: "Everyone must have heard that my king was kidnapped by Xiao Xiao two days ago. In the past two days, I have also received a lot of concern and greetings from everyone. My king is fine now, thank you for your concern."

He paused, turned his gaze to the people beside him, and said with a gentle smile: "This time, thanks to Xiaoqian's timely rescue, I was also injured and poisoned. I am grateful. So here, I would like to thank you."

Qian Rong resisted the urge to twitch the corners of his mouth, and squeezed out a stiff smile: "My lord, you're welcome."

Jiu Wangfu smiled again, and turned to everyone: "I hope that when you see the ninth concubine in the future, it will be like meeting the king himself. I hope everyone can cooperate well with whatever he says or orders he gives."

... hold back.

"That's natural. The Ninth Prince and the Concubine have a deep affection, and we are also delighted and congratulated." Another person replied.

...What is going on in this world?Is there no one who has doubts about the fact that "the princess is a man"?Does no one care about the descendants of the royal blood?Doesn't anyone think that the Nine Kings' move is to corrupt the family style and disregard morality?

Taking a ten-thousand-step back, the current world is peaceful and can tolerate him as a male concubine.But why can the one above be so sanctimonious, and the group below can behave without a trace of inappropriateness? !Even under the coercion of this prince, isn't there a "righteous man"?

The Nine Kings and everyone in the hall are still discussing something hotly.Qian Rong was half focused on listening and the other half on madness.

Since "entering the mansion", he felt that his patience and cultivation were improving day by day.But Zhuang Jiu had the ability to push him to the brink of berserk one after another.

Be calm and rational... Remember that he is one of the counselors trusted by the Lord of Silverpine Castle.

"Little Qian? Little Qian?" Zhuang Jiu called him twice, seeing that he didn't respond for a while, he immediately looked concerned.

The corner of Qian Rong's mouth barely curled into an arc: "My lord, I'm listening."

Appellation is also an issue.People in the palace had seen him overturn the teapot because of the Nine Kings saying that he loved his concubine, so they didn't dare to call him "Niangniang".So what would he call himself? "Subordinate"? "minister"? "Concubine"?

...So I can only call myself "I" without being humble, but in the end, everyone is amazed. The Nine Kings dote on the newlywed wife very much, and even allow him to use such an equal title.

……

"What do you think of this?" Nine Kings asked earnestly.

"That person treated you like this this time, you're right to be a bit angry, it's just..." Qian Rong pondered for a while.

"how?"

"It's not cruel enough." Qian Rong said.

"Oh?"

"That man has a lot of property and involvement in the capital. The restaurants and inns that the prince just said are the big sources of his funds. However, the centipede, moving his things is just scratching the surface of his boots, so it is better to simply implicate him secretly. Brothels and gambling houses." Qian Rong said.

Zhuang Jiu looked at him, smiled without saying a word.

The people in the hall talked a lot: "But... those industries, aren't they even more insignificant?"

Zhuang Jiu thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Sure enough, he is a counselor from Yinsong Castle. I will do as you say."

The hall was surprised.Jiu Wang laughed and said: "We are heading for the bright place, as for what is involved in the dark place..."

"Oh..." Everyone understood.

Although not many people know for sure, but from the tone of the nine kings, they seem to know vaguely: the industries that the third prince secretly participated in are probably not as simple as the appearance.

After the matter was finalized, Zhuang Jiu asked Qian Rong for some suggestions.Qian Rong faintly felt that there was some conspiracy, but he still knew everything without saying anything. As a partner's staff, he really made suggestions for Zhuang Jiu.

When the meeting was over, Zhuang Jiu looked casually at those present—they looked at Qian Rong from simple curiosity to admiration and appreciation—with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

On the carriage back to the palace, Xiaoqian slapped his thigh suddenly, and realized: When the castle master gave the young master a prestige, didn't he do the same thing? !

Turning his head to stare at the man with a harmless smile on his face, Xiao Qian opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.Yeah, let him say what?

Seeing that Qian Rong seemed to have understood the development of the matter, Zhuang Jiu didn't hide the smile on his lips, and became more arrogant: "As expected, you are worthy of Xiaoqian..."

... The handsome man who didn't want to bear it anymore punched him.

The carriage shook violently, and Zhao Xiaoqiang, who was driving the carriage, sighed that the relationship between the prince and the concubine was really as usual, "intense"...

As the dead soldiers of the Nine Kings, they didn't really pay much attention to Qian Rong at first, they just thought it was just a pawn of, uh, "political marriage".However, after he led the dead to rescue Zhuang Jiu, they had a lot of respect and love for him, and with Jiu Wang's statement, they also had an extra loyal object.

──This is naturally another matter that makes Qian Rong depressed and headaches: he is just an orphan picked up by the old Yinsong Castle owner, and he is just an aide who helps Yinsong Castle make suggestions.What is he capable of? For no reason, he has dozens of dead soldiers who are devoted to him? !

The so-called top beam is not straight and the bottom beam is crooked. There are such subordinates as there are masters. The hidden guards tacitly turned a blind eye to Qian Rong's troubles and entanglements.

Zhuang Jiu, who had just retired from court, rushed back to the palace with a basket of food boxes in his hand.Qian Rong had finished his morning exercises and was twisting a veil to wipe his face in the yard.

The corner of Zhuang Jiu's mouth twitched, and he was caught off guard.
