172 Princess Kaya(1/2)
When Xiao Di saw the woman in orange escaping, he quickly looked around in front and behind him, but did not see the shadow of the "Master Wen". He knew in his heart that someone had tricked him, and he became angry and looked at Zhang Jushi.
At a glance, the two of them followed the source of the sound and directed their sharp eyes towards the elegant room on the left.
These elegant rooms are extremely concealable. Even if the doors are hollow, they are carved with clever patterns. Such patterns allow people to see clearly from the inside to the outside, but they cannot see any clues about the inside from the outside.
Shen Zui had been in the West Building for two years, so he naturally knew about these crafts. At this time, he thought that Xiao Di didn't know it was them, so he looked at Huai Mo, trying to see what he meant. Whether to stay here and be discovered by Xiao Di, or to run away.
Huai Mo was still drinking tea, and his face was as pale as if everything had nothing to do with him. It was impossible to see his emotions, and it was completely impossible to tell that not long ago, he still disliked the tea as being unpalatable.
Shen Zui was anxious. Xiao Di had a nasty and domineering personality. He might just kick the door in and come straight in. Shen Zui stood up and was about to pull Huai Mo away when he heard Zhang Jushi's mature voice outside the door, "Master Huai, too."
Here?"[
Shen Zui took Huai Mo's hand and froze it on his arm.
What a... old fox!
Huai Mo looked at Shen Zui, with a clear smile in his eyes, and smiled at Shen Zui, "Look, they all know, what are you still worried about? Ye"
"..."
Huai Mo then looked out the door and said slightly louder, still calm, "It's me."
The door was opened immediately, and Xiao Di and Zhang Ju came in one after another. Xiao Di glanced at the broken teacup at Shen Zui's feet, and narrowed his eyes coldly. He turned to look at Shen Zui, "It is indeed Mrs. Huai. Listening to the voice, she sounded like
pole."
Shen Zui turned toward Xiao Di and whispered, "Greetings to His Highness the Crown Prince."
After saying that, without waiting for Xiao Di's reaction, he slowly retreated behind Huai Mo.
Xiao Di raised his eyebrows. Upon seeing this, Zhang Jushi pointed out, "I heard that Lord Huai doted on his wife. I thought it was just a rumor. But now I saw that my wife didn't take the prince seriously, so I realized that the rumors were not true. Come to think of it,
Master Huai must be extremely doting on his wife."
There was always a faint smile on Huaimo's lips. Hearing this, he slowly stood up from his seat and bowed slightly to Xiao Di and Zhang Jushi, "Your Highness, Your Majesty the Prime Minister, my wife is naughty, so you two don't have to fight with me."
She cares about being a prostitute. It's better to meet by chance than to invite her. If you two don't dislike it, then Huai Mo will be the host. Please take a seat."
Zhang Jushi has always been at odds with Huaimo, especially because Huaimo climbed on top of him at such a young age. He had been jealous for many years, and it was not easy for Huaimo to fall from his position. After he was promoted, he inevitably wanted to seize the opportunity to suppress Huaimo.
. At present, he was on good terms with the prince, but the woman in Huaimo had just ruined the prince's good deeds. From this situation, it seemed that he and the prince were in the same boat.
With this calculation in his mind, Zhang Jushi wanted to sow discord between Xiao Di and Huai Mo. Just when he was about to ridicule Huai Mo, Xiao Di sat down calmly and looked at Zhang Jushi again, "Why, stand up?"
Really? Although Huai Mo is no longer the Prime Minister, I guess I can afford a meal from him. Prime Minister, please feel free to eat as I won't let you pay for it."
Xiao Di had already spoken, Zhang Jushi had no choice but to nod his head and take a seat. Huaimo also sat down leisurely.
Shen Zui frowned. She originally hated Xiao Di so much and wished she would never see this man again, but now she had to sit at the same table with him. She couldn't help but feel angry.
Zhang Jushi was sharp-eyed and seized the opportunity to sneer, "What does Mrs. Huai mean by frowning? Are you unhappy that I disturbed you and Mr. Huai?"
Shen Zui secretly scolded Zhang Ju for being a villain, Huaimo gently held her hand, his palm was warm and strong, and pulled her to sit down beside him.
Xiao Di curled his lips and looked at the two people's clasped hands.
At this moment, the waiter brought the dishes ordered by Huaimo, and the scene was interrupted. When the waiter left, Huaimo just ignored Zhang Jushi's words.
Xiao Di glanced at the table full of delicacies, all of which were Xilou's signature dishes. After such a meal, even a piece of gold would not be able to leave.[
Zhang Jushi said sourly, "Master Huai is really rich, two people eat so much food. Is it possible that he is no longer the prime minister, but his salary is still the same?" After a pause, he glanced at Shen Zui again, and said sarcastically, "I
Look, it’s better to save money, my wife is so beautiful, it’s hard to support her with little money.”
Shen Zui secretly wanted to kick him, yes, in the face!
Zhang Jushi is already acting as the prime minister, and he still speaks so harshly. He is mocking Huaimo for being demoted, and also hinting at her flirtatious nature. How much did he hate Huaimo before?
So "exposed"? People in the court, even if they hate it, shouldn't they smile?
Xiao Di glanced at Zui Zui, who was bowing his head and keeping silent, and chuckled, "What the Prime Minister said is unreasonable, but... Gu and Huai Mo have been friends for many years. If there is any difficulty, no matter what it is, Gu will help."
Zhang Jushi chuckled lightly, with evil intentions in his eyes, "The prince has good intentions, but... not everything the prince can help with."
Zhang Ju was tactful in his words and even blatantly winked at Shen Zui.
Before, Zui Zui was framed by Xiao Di in public. Although she distanced herself at that time and no one dared to say anything, people's hearts are sometimes dirty, and everyone can be dirty. It is inevitable that no one will think of her and the prince in their hearts.
It was unbearable. And it was obvious that Zhang Juzheng was this kind of person, with no concealment of frivolity in his tone.
Shen Zui was angry. She hated Xiao Di for plotting against her, and she couldn't tolerate anyone slandering her innocence. She was about to say something coldly, but before she could speak, Huai Mo said calmly, "The prince and the prime minister have good intentions, and Huai Mo understands them.
But right now, you two might as well think about how to save yourself first."
When Xiao Di heard this, his expression changed slightly. As far as he knew, Huai Mo was not a bluff. If he said this, he must have caught something.
Zhang Jushi didn't think so. He just thought that Huai Mo was irritated by him and couldn't sit still. He couldn't help but sneered, "Self-rescue? Shouldn't these two words be used for Master Huai?"
Huai Mo shook his head gently and smiled lightly, "Me? There is no need for it in front of me. At least... I was not the one who teased Princess Nanzhao just now."
Xiao Di and Zhang Jushi's expressions changed drastically.
Xiao Di asked in a deep voice, "What did you say?"
Huai Mo didn't rush, he tapped the table with his fingers, and said slowly, "The two women who were teasing just now are Princess Jia Ling of Nanzhao."
"You're lying!" Zhang Jushi's palms suddenly broke out in cold sweat, and his heartbeat couldn't help but panic.
Rumor has it that in addition to her beauty, Princess Jia Ling is the apple of the Nanzhao Emperor's eye. A year ago, the Huns prince came to propose marriage to Jia Ling and offended the princess with his words. The Nanzhao Emperor refused to give any face to the Huns.
They directly sent troops to capture the Hun prince and castrated him...
At this time, although Xuanyang County is still the territory of Tianyuan, if it really angers Emperor Nanzhao, even Emperor Wen will compromise. At that time, the prince may not do anything. He, Zhang Ju, is a minister, and he will be out to do it at some point.
A scapegoat.
Xiao Di looked at Huai Mo coldly. He did not speak, just waiting for Huai Mo to give him an explanation.
Shen Zui also looked at Huai Mo. She was just confused. How did he know?
Huai Mo said slowly, "Haven't the Crown Prince and the Prime Minister heard that there is a folk legend in Nanzhao that Princess Jia Ling is the reincarnation of the second princess in heaven?"
Zhang Jushi scoffed coldly, "I know the people are just spreading lies!"
"This is a rumor, but it is not groundless. The reason for this legend is that Princess Jia Ling has preferred orange since she was a child. Whenever she appears, she always wears orange clothes to show off. And because of her beauty, she has
Literati praised her as the second princess in heaven, and Princess Jia Ling even got a nickname, Cheng'er."[
Xiao Di and Zhang Ju thought of the woman in orange just now, their expressions stiffened slightly.
Huai Mo continued, "Also, the prince caught her just now, and she cursed two words in desperation."
"Untouchable... untouchable?" Zhang Jushi's heart felt cold and he began to stutter when speaking.
Huai Mo smiled lightly and nodded, "Yes, besides people from the royal family, who else would curse people like this?"
…
Shen Zui stood outside and looked down from the second floor. He saw Xiao Di angrily getting on the carriage in front of the west building door. Zhang Jushi seemed to be in a hurry and blocked Xiao Di, and was kicked hard by Xiao Di.
Kai. Zhang Jushi, who was chubby, rolled twice on the ground, got up in disgrace, and followed the car with a sneer.
Shenzui looked at it and couldn't help but chuckle.
Huai Mo slowly came up behind her, hugged her from behind, kissed her face tenderly, followed her gaze and saw Xiao Di's carriage driving away.
He kissed her tenderly. Shenzui thought he was going to say something to her, so she leaned in his arms and waited. Unexpectedly, she waited for a long time, and when Huaimo had kissed her enough, she just said, "Change to a private room."
Intoxicated, "..."
Shen Zui turned around, and Huai Mo just happened to hug her into his arms. Shen Zui looked over his shoulder and saw the table full of delicacies, without moving. Even the four pairs of chopsticks on the table were still neatly arranged and had not been touched by anyone.
Shen Zui frowned, "What about these?"
Huai Mo said, "I don't like to eat things stained with other people's saliva."
"..." Shen Zui knew for the first time that he had this "dislike". They had never seen him have this taboo before when the two of them had dinner. He also explained, "These things have never been touched, how could they be stained by other people's saliva?"
Huai Mo looked down at her, raised his eyebrows, and then let her go, "Then go and eat."
Shen Zui hummed softly, walked to the table, sat down, picked up the chopsticks, and was about to pick up the fish when he heard Huai Mo say, "I just saw Zhang Jushi's saliva spraying on it.
"
Shen Zui frowned, feeling nauseous just thinking about it. He moved the chopsticks away and moved them to the other end...
"I also saw Xiao Di's saliva spraying on it."
Hearing this, Shen Zui was so disgusted that he dropped his chopsticks with a "snap" sound.
Huai Mo looked at her leisurely and chuckled.
Shen Zui turned around, glanced at him, stood up, and said angrily, "Change places!"
The waiter immediately took Huai Mo to the private room at the other end and changed places. Shenzui took a look at the surrounding private rooms and saw that all the private rooms were empty. He finally felt relieved and said with a smile, "Now I can eat in peace."
Huai Mo led her to sit down and said calmly, "Don't mind your own business. We can eat in peace just now."
Shen Zui thought of Huai Mo's cold-blooded behavior before. It turned out that he had already known the consequences. If she had listened to him and stayed out of her own business, she would not have been discovered by Xiao Di. If she had not been discovered by Xiao Di, she would not have been discovered by those two people in the future.
Ridiculed. Xiao Di and Zhang Jushi, one is nasty and the other is dirty, but Huai Mo has offended the emperor now and has no official position, so he has to be bullied by these two people.
Shen Zui felt guilty when he thought of this.
