Chapter 18 - The Plot

Seeing that Fu Ning came back so quickly, the Qinyuan students were curious and relaxed.Wang Yuansi said: "We said just now that you might not come back. I didn't expect you to come here before it's time for a cup of tea."

Fu Ning laughed: "His Royal Highness is not a scourge, so naturally he will not tell me to go and never return."

Wang Yuansi shook his head: "Anyway, I'm a little afraid of him, he can't understand."

Lin Ping laughed: "That's because you are not handsome enough, if you also look like Ziyu, whoever sees you will not be pleasant."

Although the tone of his speech sounded like a joke, the meaning in the words made people feel a little uncomfortable. Feng Yu walked beside him, and his face sank on the spot: "What are you talking about? You act like everyone is as obsessed with sex as you are." ?”

Lin Ping was taken aback for a moment, and his complexion became ugly: "I just praised that Yusheng is good-looking, what are you doing with such a tone all of a sudden!"

Feng Yu did not give an inch, and Lin Ping did not show any weakness. The two looked at each other full of gunpowder, as if they were about to fight immediately.

The students didn't expect such a development, so they hurriedly pulled one at a time, at least they were persuaded, and they didn't really make a move.

Fu Ning held Feng Yu back and signaled him not to make trouble with his eyes. When Lin Ping also stopped, he said with a smile: "I just finished the exam today, and the last time it was so lively, I put away the bad luck of not being able to write the questions." , It’s so good, so good!”

This time the math test questions were very complicated, Fu Ning's words immediately resonated with everyone, and several students immediately laughed: "Exactly!"

After the atmosphere eased, the group returned to the state they had just left after class, and headed towards Fengbao Building with their shoulders crossed and their backs crossed.

Wang Yuansi is a frequent visitor to Fengbao Building these few days, and the building knew that he came to eat crispy rice, so naturally they prepared a lot early on, and when the students arrived, they brought them up immediately.

Fu Ning took a sip and raised his eyebrows: "This taste is much better than last time."

Wang Yuansi looked at him with a smile: "How does it compare to Jiangnan?"

Fu Ning blinked: "Each has its own merits."

Wang Yuansi let out a long sigh: "When I have a chance in the future, I will definitely go to the south of the Yangtze River and eat the authentic Sushan."

Fu Ning laughed: "Then when you arrive in Jiangnan, you probably won't be able to get out of bed."

Wang Yuansi was puzzled: "Why?"

Fu Ningdao: "Su Shan is very common in the south of the Yangtze River. They are sold on the streets and alleys, and the price is cheap, but they are better than the sweet and sour; if they are made in restaurants, in order to attract more customers in summer, each family has a unique recipe; in our Yuezhou , and there are even stores that specialize in summer desserts like Sushan, with so many flavors, if you eat them for a few days, you won’t be able to get out of bed.”

Wang Yuansi shook his head: "You don't understand, for the sake of delicious food, it doesn't matter if I lie down!"

Everyone imagined such a scene, and all laughed. Only Lin Ping nodded sharply, agreeing: "The same is true for beauties. If it is for beauties, even if the body is uncomfortable, it doesn't matter if you support it!"

Everyone was chatting, and the dishes ordered earlier finally came.The dexterous young servants came in one after another carrying delicate dishes, quickly arranged the food, and then retreated silently.

Lin Ping looked at the figures of the young servants, and sighed: "Fengbaolou's food is delicious, but the way it is served is still not as warm and fragrant as Linglong Pavilion."

He mentioned the beauty just now, and now he talked about it again, and some students asked: "Is the way of serving food in Linglong Pavilion different from that in Fengbao Pavilion?"

Lin Ping looked up, looking like he was remembering: "If you talk about the method, it's no different, it's just the maid in charge of serving the dishes in Linglong Pavilion, and her appearance-tsk, they are all first-class good-looking, even if they are just for a few The eyes are also very pleasing to the eye."

The students became more and more curious when they heard what he said, and one of them suddenly sighed: "Linglong Pavilion and Fengbao Building are only two streets away, if the maids of Linglong Pavilion can come to Fengbao Building for us Serve tea and pour water."

"Of course it's possible." Lin Ping smiled against everyone's surprised gazes: "When I came to Fengbaolou for dinner, I called the maid from Linglong Pavilion to serve the food. If you want it, I'll just ask someone to come. .”

As soon as this remark came out, several students echoed: "That's very good!"

Fu Ning frowned: "It's not good if someone sees you like this."

Lin Ping said with a smile: "Ziyu, don't worry about that. Linglong Pavilion and Fengbaolou are both open for business. Keep this little thing a secret. As long as you give orders, they will naturally do it."

Fu Ning still felt something was wrong in his heart, but seeing the curious and excited faces of the students around him, he suppressed his thoughts and said with a smile, "Then I won't spoil everyone's interest."

At worst, wait a while for those girls to come, and just go outside for a while.

Seeing his consent, Lin Ping stood up and walked out: "Everyone, don't worry, you're safe."

Because of such a new incident, the students had no intention of eating, chatting and looking outside, eagerly waiting for the arrival of the maid from Linglong Pavilion.

About a quarter of an hour later, there was a sudden clink of ring pendants in the corridor, and Lin Ping lifted his spirits: "Here we come!"

As soon as the words fell, the door of the private room was gently pushed open, and a group of women wrapped in light smoke walked in, all of them were good-looking, like gods and concubines, and a few students who only focused on studying hard on weekdays Seeing such beauty, his eyes froze at that time.

Lin Ping was very natural, and waved these maids to come to the side of the crowd: "These are all good friends in my school, you are very good at serving."

The maids responded in unison, then looked at each other, and then walked behind different students, serving tea and water attentively.Many students had never seen this kind of battle, and when they suddenly got along with such a stunning woman, their faces were a little bewildered, and their hands and feet were tied up for a while—except for Funing.

His mind was full of the upside-down instructions from his parents before parting, and he really couldn't get excited, so he sat down on the chair and said to the maid behind him: "Thank you for your kindness, but I'm not used to being served by others, so please ask me Find someone else."

The woman standing behind him was taken aback for a moment, and leaned forward aggrieved, almost sticking to his body: "My lord—" A burst of sweet fragrance came, and Fu Ning stood up in time to hide before she approached him. After firing the woman's "attack", he said to Lin Ping, who was the only one who remained awake, "Brother Lin, I don't feel well in my stomach, I'll go out first."

Seeing his serious expression, Lin Ping thought he was shy, so he smiled and said, "Hey, once you understand the beauty of this, you won't want to refuse."

Fu Ning didn't say anything more, he bowed his hands to him, and opened the door to leave.

Not knowing what kind of spice the woman used, Funing walked all the way to the end of the corridor, only to feel that the smell was all in his nose, so sweet and greasy that it was uncomfortable.

Fu Ning kept pinching his nose while walking, trying his best to get rid of the feeling left by the strange smell, so that when he passed by the door of a private room, he almost bumped into the person who came out of it.

Dodging the opponent in time, Funing took a step back, saw the person he almost bumped into, and was a little surprised: "His Royal Highness?"

Xun Yi nodded slightly, his eyes fell on the tip of his red nose: "What's wrong with you?"

Fu Ning smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that someone accidentally smashed the incense pills on his body just now, and was stung by the smell, trying to get out for a breather."

It is not a glorious thing for a student from Qinyuan to call the maid of Linglong Pavilion to serve in Fengbao Building, and he does not intend to tell everyone about it.

Xun Yi smelled the slight sweet smell on his body, and frowned immediately: "Who dropped this incense?"

Listening to him, Fu Ning felt a little irritable for some reason, so he said perfunctorily, "I don't remember. It's hot in the corridor, His Royal Highness, you should go back to your room to cool off."

"Hot?"

Xun Yi frowned tightly, pointed to the ice basin placed at the door, and said slowly: "Look at this basin of ice, and say it again."

There are several large pieces of crystal clear ice in the ice basin at the door, and at the moment it is blowing cold air.But Fu Ning was standing next to this basin of ice, but he didn't feel any coolness on his body. Instead, he felt dryness and heat rising from his heart.

Xun Yi looked at the blush that was quickly dyed on his face, sighed, pulled him into his room, and said to the third prince who was leaning on the soft bed: "Your refreshing incense, take it Come and borrow it from me."

Seeing Xun Yi pulling Fu Ning in, the third prince raised his brows and was about to tease him. When he heard Xun Yi's words and saw the blush on Fu Ning's face, how could he not understand that he was following someone else's way? , quickly got up and took out a small box from his pocket and handed it over: "Give it!"

Xun Yi opened the small box, put it in front of Funing's face, and said in a deep voice, "Breathe in."

Fu Ning was a little dizzy at this time, but his mind was still clear. Knowing that Xun Yi was helping him, he sniffed hard——

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The pungent coolness mixed with the pungent smell of herbs rushed straight into the nostrils. Fu Ning was choked by the smell and coughed again and again. Xun Yi gently supported him with one hand, and covered the small box with the other: "Are you awake?"

"Cough, I'm awake." Fu Ning wiped away the choked tears, and found that the groggy feeling just now gradually disappeared, so he immediately bowed to Xun Yi: "Thank you, my lord, for saving me."

The sweet and greasy scent just now had already made him irritable; if he hadn't met Xun Yi just now, although he didn't know what would happen, the ending would be unimaginable.

Xun Yi helped him up: "It's nothing more than a little effort." He looked at Fu Ning and asked, "Who brought this incense you smelled?" .

Fu Ning said: "Not a student from Qinyuan, but a maid from Linglong Pavilion—too bad!" Since the incense on the woman's body can plot against him, it can also plot against others. He has been out for a while, so the others- —

The third prince smiled and said: "It's okay, after you came in just now, I have already asked someone to go over and look at it, everyone else is fine, you don't have to worry."

Fu Ning breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you—" The words came to his lips, but he didn't know how to address this person.

Xun Yi said: "This is the third prince."

Fu Ning's heart was shaken, but he didn't show it on his face, and said as usual: "Thank you, Third Prince."

The third prince smiled lightly: "I'm just pushing the boat along with the flow, the people around you are the ones who really care about you the most."

What he said was ambiguous, and Funing couldn't answer, so he just smiled and didn't respond.

Seeing this, the third prince said with a smile: "I'm not in Guozi School, and I don't understand the interests and interests of your school, so I won't be an eyesore here." He said, stood up from the couch, and walked towards the door, "I'll go Let's see if the maid from the Linglong Pavilion is caught, you two calm down, and analyze carefully, carefully, and slowly, to see who would make such a move."

Xun Yi didn't change his face, pretending not to understand the meaning of the third prince's words, he said to Fu Ning seriously: "What's the matter with the maid of Linglong Pavilion?"

Fu Ning felt that what the third prince said sounded a little strange, but after all, the priority at the moment was not to study the strange third prince, so he temporarily put this thought aside, and told Xun Yi in detail what happened today. things.

Although he still doesn't know what Xun Yi is like, he just took the initiative to help him and asked the third prince to help him investigate. That is the most reliable person he can find so far.

Xun Yi listened carefully to what he said, and thought, "From this point of view, Lin Ping is the most likely to strike."

Fu Ning shook his head: "It's unlikely. He should have been someone else's chess piece, or he knew something and contributed to the situation. It shouldn't be him who really wants to attack me."

Xun Yi was a little displeased: "You trust him so much?"

"I don't believe it." Fu Ning got out of the medicine, and his thinking became clear again: "So many people are here today, and they all saw that he encouraged the maid of Linglong Pavilion, in case something happens to me, He must not be able to escape the relationship, and even his grandfather's Zhongshuling official position may be affected."

Xun Yi said: "What if he has a complete countermeasure?"

Fu Ning chuckled: "His Royal Highness is older than me, so he naturally knows how powerful the Dali Temple is at the foot of the Son of Heaven."

"When I was in Yuezhou, I heard that as long as there are clues and evidence that the people of Dali Temple want to find, there is not a single one. I really can't find it. I don't think Lin Ping will take such a risk. Seeking excitement and actively doing things against me."

Xun Yi wondered: "Seeking excitement? Where did you draw this conclusion from?"

Fu Ning shook his finger: "Because I'm just a child of the local magistrate, no matter where I think about it, I can't get anything done by his Zhongshu Ling's family. This is one of them; I heard many people say it before, and myself I also observed Lin Ping, and found that because of his poor health, he often does some exciting things, which is the second. So I guess, he contributed to this incident mainly for excitement."

Xun Yi raised his eyebrows: "What else?"

"Also, I heard that the eldest daughter of Zhongshu Ling's family, Lin Ping's elder sister, married a fourth-rank doctor Zuo Jianyi two years ago, and that doctor was from the natal family of Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. A cousin."

Xun Yi listened to him gossip about a lot of relationships between the characters, fell silent for a moment, and asked, "How do you know the twists and turns in the capital so clearly?"

Dr. Zuo Jianyi married to the eldest daughter of Zhongshu Ling's family is a cousin of Mrs. Shangshu's natal family. It took him a while to figure out what he was talking about with this string of names.

Fu Ning coughed lightly: "I also heard everyone mention it occasionally before, but after thinking about it today, I have colluded with the train of thought."

Xun Yi didn't really believe his foolish words, but he didn't ask again, he just said, "So, you want to say, this matter is related to the second son of the Minister of Rites?"

Fu Ning smiled and nodded: "It's easy to talk to smart people." He has only been in the capital for more than half a month, and almost every day he maintains the two-point and one-line life of Guozixue-Shilang's Mansion, offending people on the road In Guozixue, the only person who really had an unpleasant relationship with him was the cynical Li Er, so it is not difficult to guess if it is sorted out like this.

Looking at his confident appearance, Xun Yi suddenly realized that this person was completely different from the one he remembered.

When he was a child, he was innocent and lively, running around energetically, laughing when he was happy, crying when he fell down, always with a clear appearance; but now Fu Ning has learned to hide his emotions, learn to Seeing what someone said, he was thoughtful and intelligent, and even though he had just been tricked by someone, he could still sit in front of him without changing his face, talking about his conjectures.

It seems to have become another person, but it can also affect his whole mind.

He had to admit that this kind of Funing made him fall in love even more.

Suppressing the throbbing in his heart, Xun Yi said: "No matter what the truth is, I can do two things for you."

Fu Ning froze for a moment: "What's the matter?"

Xun Yi said solemnly: "Help you report this matter to Dali Temple in a fair manner, or start with these people themselves, and let them taste the feeling of being plotted against."

Fu Ning thought for a moment, then smiled lightly and said, "Can I have both?"

Xun Yi frowned, and was about to speak, when Fu Ning looked at his expression, suddenly blissful in his heart, and added: "Brother Sheng?"?
