"Silly Qing'er, it's hard for you to be with such a master as Ben Gong." Jing Rong gently stroked Qing'er's head, with a wry smile on his lips.

"The hard times are coming to an end now, isn't it? Even Princess Ninth, who is not afraid of everything, dare not easily offend Prince Xiang's Mansion. The princess will have a better life in the future." Qing'er shook her head, looking at Jing with longing eyes. Rong, is happy that she can find a good home.

Jing Rong heard the words but smiled and said nothing, can Prince Xiang Mansion really protect her forever?Suddenly, Luo Zifeng I met that day came back to my mind, the dazzling smile turned into unspeakable sadness in an instant, it must be trouble, entering the court is trouble, becoming her son-in-law is also trouble...

Turning her head to see that the flowers she had just placed on the bluestone slab showed signs of withering, Jing Rong just sighed slightly, took Qing'er and said softly: "Qing'er, follow me to the room Just take the medicine."

Qing'er pulled her hand away from Jing Rong's with a look of panic, and shook her head again and again: "Qing'er is really fine, there is no need to apply medicine, the princess should continue arranging flowers."

Looking at the hand that was thrown away by Qing'er, Jing Rong was slightly startled, and then became clear: "Qing'er is afraid too? Afraid of getting hurt..."

"Princess, Qing'er didn't mean that..." Touched by the sadness in Jing Rong's eyes, Qing'er really didn't know how to deal with the situation in front of her. She might have had such a stupid idea at first because she was afraid of getting hurt. After several years of getting along with each other, she who has been staying by Jing Rong's side has seen everything clearly, and the rumors have long been shattered by getting along with each other. How can she believe such nonsense now?

"Then let's go to the princess's room and apply the medicine." It was really helpless, Qing'er could only muster up the courage to hold Jing Rong's hand, for the first time, she walked in front and led the steps of the people behind.

During Shen Shi, Luo Zifeng, who works in the Ministry of Rites, tidied up the various memorials on his desk before going back to Prince Xiang's Mansion, but Li Yanqing blocked his way as soon as he stood up.

Luo Zifeng looked at the shy Li Yanqing with a puzzled look on his face: "Master Shangshu, what is this?"

"Well, His Highness the Fourth Prince said that today is Lord Luo's first day to work in the Ministry of Rites. We, seniors, need to do our best to help you, and we will have to help you later. At this moment, His Highness has already gone to Juxianju to take care of everything. Please also Master Luo to accompany me." Li Yanqing carefully considered the words he used, he could not use the humble official, but he did not dare to use the official in this kind of private matter, after thinking about it, only I can use it as a self-proclaimed one.

Luo Zifeng frowned, but the words of refusal changed into: "Please Lord Shangshu to lead the way."

"Okay, okay." Li Yanqing nodded in agreement, and then took Luo Zifeng out of the office where the Ministry of Rites works. Two official sedan chairs outside the office have been waiting for a long time.

"Master Luo, please come." Li Yanqing pointed to the more luxurious official sedan chair and said.

"Master Shang Shu, please." Luo Zifeng reluctantly showed a satisfied smile on his face, but in fact he was very disgusted by it in his heart. He never thought that he would put on a hypocritical welcoming face on the first day of work. I don't know how grandpa and grandpa survived the decades of official career, did they also prepare a hypocritical face just like her to deal with all this?

Juxianju is not far from the government office of the Ministry of Rites, so every time there is a banquet, everyone chooses to hold it here, and today is no exception.After getting off the sedan chair, as soon as he raised his back, he saw the fourth prince Gu Xihong standing at the door with a smile on his face. After blinking, Luo Zifeng took two big strides forward, bowing respectfully in front of the other party: "Let The fourth prince has been waiting for a long time, this humble minister is really..."

"Hey, it's not office hours now, so it's better to put away this kind of official-style prince. If the prince really wants to express his apology, how about going in and taking a seat and punishing himself with three cups?" Gu Xihong said with a hearty smile. He got on Luo Zifeng's shoulder, as if he was a good brother.

Luo Zifeng avoided the restraint of Gu Xihong's arm without a trace, with an apologetic smile on his face: "Luo didn't like contact with people since he was a child, and he will punish himself with three cups later."

"Okay." Gu Xihong withdrew his hand and smiled cheerfully.Just now because of Luo Zifeng's dodge, the awkward atmosphere became lively again because of this sentence. Several people came to the private room on the second floor while laughing and talking. Looking at the table full of delicious food, Luo Zifeng was a little bit uninterested , I happened to see a young servant passing by, and hurriedly called him over, handed him a piece of silver and told him to report to Prince Xiang's Mansion, and asked the people from Prince Xiang's Mansion to come and pick her up before Xushi, the banquet hadn't even started yet He has already promised to punish himself with six cups, and he is destined not to be let go easily tonight.

"Your Majesty just came to the capital not long ago, so I must have never had the opportunity to come to Juxianju to taste the delicacies here. Let's have a good time today." Gu Xihong, who opened the speech and toasted like the head of the Ministry of Rites, Luo Zifeng subconsciously said Looking at Li Yanqing at the side, seeing that the other party looked unnatural, he sighed inwardly, but he also held the wine pot in his right hand and the wine glass in his left hand, and immediately drank the six cups of self-punishment wine. Such a refreshing way is naturally Aroused applause.

Gu Xihong obviously didn't expect that Luo Zifeng could still look calm after drinking six glasses of wine. He was slightly taken aback, and a smile appeared on his face again after a while: "I didn't expect the son to drink so well. It seems that I can't wait today." Feel free to let the prince go, don’t you think so?”

"Yes."

Hearing the booing answers from her colleagues, Luo Zifeng just smiled lightly. In her previous life, she sold strong fruit wine for a living. Although she could not drink thousands of cups without getting drunk, she was much better than ordinary people. She will accompany you tonight. After drinking for three rounds, it is still unknown who will fall first.

"How can there be wine but no songs? Xiao Er, call the girl who sings the song here." After drinking twice as much, Li Yanqing's face was stained red, and the tone of his voice also improved a lot. He just yelled at Xiao Er who was waiting beside him, and Luo Zifeng was so scared that he also looked sideways at him. This person seems to have poor wine quality?

Seeing this, Gu Xihong laughed loudly and said, "Your Majesty, don't be afraid, Mr. Li is happy."

Hearing Gu Xihong's words, Li Yanqing didn't forget to second while belching: "I'm happy, the fourth prince is right, I'm so happy."

Yeah?Luo Zifeng drank another cup silently, and glanced at Li Yanqing from the corner of his eye. Why couldn't she look happy at all with this expression?

Xiao Er, who ran to shout and sing, came back in a short while, but no one followed.

"My lords, something happened." Xiaoer's voice was obviously crying, which made Luo Zifeng a little confused, but the others present were filled with righteous indignation. What happened?

"It's Jing Zhaoyin's son who did something good again?" Gu Xihong said with restrained anger, and Luo Zifeng was a little stunned. This was the first time he saw this person get angry. Why?

Xiao Er nodded when she heard the words: "It's Mr. Zhao, she dragged Du Juan and refused to let her go, and...she even wanted to take Du Juan home to be the ninth concubine."

"There's no reason for that." Gu Xihong slapped the chopsticks in his hand on the table and stood up: "This Zhao Liang is too lawless, Xiao Er, please lead the way ahead, my prince must teach him a lesson today."

"Hey." Xiaoer replied happily when he heard the words, and ran ahead to lead the way. Seeing Gu Xihong leaving the table, Luo Zifeng and the rest of the officials of the Ministry of Rites also reluctantly followed. In Liang's private room, the big guy could faintly hear the woman's cry, Luo Zifeng also frowned, what does Mr. Jing Zhaoyin want to do?Doesn't he know that there are still four princes in this juxian residence today?

When he got outside Zhao Liang's private room, Gu Xihong kicked it away, and the wooden door, which could not withstand the force of the kick, opened in response, and at the entrance, he saw that Zhao Liang wanted to do something wrong to the cuckoo that Xiao Er said, At this moment, not only Gu Xihong was angry, but even Luo Zifeng couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to go forward to teach this troublesome Mr. Jing Zhaoyin a lesson.

"Which bastard dares to spoil my son's interest at this time?" Zhao Liang, who was about to succeed, looked at the door angrily, and unexpectedly saw a group of people in the officialdom still wearing official uniforms, just about to report himself Gu Xihong kicked him away.

After taking off his robe, Gu Xihong carefully wrapped the woman in disheveled clothes, and said in a deep voice to the back: "Master Shang Shu, what crime should we do for insulting the imperial court and the imperial relatives?"

"If it's light, you'll be punished with a staff of thirty, but if it's serious, you'll be dispatched to the army." Li Yanqing answered Gu Xihong's question with a deadpan expression.

"So, what are you waiting for?" Gu Xihong snapped.

"Who are you? Do you know who I am? Laozi's father is Jing Zhaoyin, and the entire capital city is under the control of Jing Zhaoyin. Just because you little guys who came out of nowhere want to beat me up The board? And sent to the army? It really makes people laugh." Zhao Liang, who was kicked by Gu Xihong and was a little dizzy, didn't quite understand the four words of the other party - relatives of the emperor.

Looking at Zhao Liang who was kicked to the ground and uttered wild words without knowing the situation, Luo Zifeng felt that this scene seemed familiar. He didn't even know the fact that almost everyone present was of a higher rank than Jing Zhaoyin. In the capital, a place where high-ranking officials can be seen everywhere and royal relatives walk everywhere, there is such a little Mr. Jing Zhaoyin who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth. It's really amazing. People can't help but want to laugh.

Luo Zifeng didn't seem to care too much about the little episode that happened at the banquet, and she didn't go to find out what happened to Mr. Zhao, but Gu Xihong's performance was worth thinking about... …
