Chapter 646 Careful Calculation

Xia Huanyu finally agreed to Luo Qingyan's request, and ordered the Seventh Prince Xia Houjing to go to Liucang, Nanyang, and Siyang for disaster relief as a crime.

After reading the content of the secret report, Yunshang handed the secret report to Ning Qian, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, "When Xia Huanyu heard His Highness asked Xia Houjing to help the disaster, the surprise in his eyes might not be because of His Highness It was a surprise to propose to let Xia Houjing go."

Ning Qian scanned the content at a glance, and then took the opportunity to answer: "No matter who the officials propose to go, Xia Huanyu will find a way to persuade the officials to let Xia Houjing go. He was surprised because what His Highness said was right in the heart. .”

After Ning Qian finished speaking, she frowned and turned her head to look at Yun Shang, "I still can't understand His Majesty's attitude towards the Seventh Prince. I don't know why the Seventh Prince was able to be rescued by His Majesty several times."

Yun Chang squinted, and a coldness flashed in his eyes: "I don't understand, but one day, all the truth will come to light, and I am more and more curious. Before that, I also sent secret guards to investigate secretly I searched, but found nothing."

Ning Qian nodded lightly, and stared at the secret message in his hand for a while: "Your Highness is thoughtful, knowing what Xia Huanyu's thoughts are, so he simply raised this matter on his own initiative, took the initiative, and settled the matter. Added a name of crime and meritorious service. He emphasized again and again that the Seventh Prince had no choice but to go all out to send relief supplies to the disaster area in order to save his own life. In this way, if the matter goes wrong If it is done, the Seventh Prince will not be able to make meritorious service, and he will not be able to pardon the death penalty, if it is done well, it will only be as it should be, and it will be thankless."

Yun Shang also laughed, nodded lightly and said: "Yes, Your Highness is very thoughtful, but whether it is Xia Huanyu or Xia Houjing, this pit has to be jumped."

While the two were talking, Qin Yi walked in, holding a piece of paper in her hand, "Look, Crown Princess, Your Highness invites rich businessmen from the city to the mansion for dinner today, how about preparing these dishes?"

Yun Shang took it and looked down, "Almond tofu, Yulong hot pot, sweet and sour lotus root, Luohan prawns, five grains..."

Yunshang frowned slightly, and raised her eyes to look at Yunshang, "Your dishes are comparable to palace banquets in the palace."

"Didn't His Highness say yesterday that he wanted to prepare a special banquet? The servants prepared according to the highest banquet in our mansion. By the way, princess, do you want to invite the troupe?" Qin Yi asked softly.

Yun Chang shook her head and fell silent, "I always feel that what His Highness wants is definitely not such a menu. Today is not a banquet for guests, but for those businessmen, today is just a feast. Hongmen Banquet. If you want to take silver taels from them, you must not do so..."

Yun Shang pondered for a long time, but Ning Qian said with a smile: "There is a good harvest, I think the name of this dish is a good sign."

When Yun Shang heard this, her eyes lit up, and she also laughed: "It is indeed a good sign."

Not long after noon, Yun Shang was about to take a nap, Luo Qingyan had already returned, Yun Shang was a little surprised: "Why did you come back so early today?"

Luo Qingyan smiled and said: "There is still a dinner tonight, and His Majesty has recruited Xia Houjing into the palace to discuss disaster relief, so I will go back to the residence first, can the evening be arranged?"

Yun Chang nodded lightly and said: "Everything is in order, so you can rest assured."

"Madam is doing business, I am very relieved. Are you going to take a nap?" Luo Qingyan saw that there were no pearls on Yunshang's head, and the outer robe had also been removed, leaving only a homely coat, Then asked softly.

Yun Chang nodded slightly, "I was a little sleepy after lunch, so I wanted to rest for a while."

Luo Qingyan took off the court clothes on his body, and looked at Yunshang with a smile, "I'm also a little sleepy, let's take a rest together."

Seeing Yunshang raised her eyebrows, Luo Qingyan laughed too, "Don't worry, I'm really sleepy today, what about Chengye? Don't you always take a nap with you on weekdays?"

Yun Chang smiled and said: "Doctor Chen took her downstairs to rest. Although Doctor Chen just entered the mansion, Bao'er liked her a little bit, so she didn't want to let go of her."

"Alright." Luo smiled lightly, then walked to the side of the couch and lay down, and said softly, "Then let's rest too."

Luo Qingyan was really as he said, maybe he was very tired, but he behaved well, he just hugged Yunshang and fell asleep. Yun Chang also closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep.

After sleeping for an hour, the two woke up, and stayed in bed for a while before getting up.

The dinner post was posted yesterday, and Yunshang and Luo Qingyan read a book in the room for a while, and then heard someone report: "Your Highness, Crown Princess, a guest has come to the door."

Luo Qingyan nodded lightly, put down the book in his hand, turned around and looked at Yunshang with a smile and said, "Since you are begging for help, you should have the attitude of begging for help. Let's go, let's go to meet the guests."

Yun Chang nodded, and asked Qin Yi to comb her hair in an extremely simple bun, wearing only a sarong and a wooden hairpin, and stood up. Seeing Yun Shang's different attire, Luo Qingyan raised his eyebrows, and a flash of admiration flashed in his eyes.

"Your Highness, you should change your clothes too." Yun Chang said softly.

Seeing Qin Yi, Luo Qingyan took out a set of common clothes. Luo Qingyan stretched out his hand to touch it. Although it is common clothes, no matter the style of workmanship, the hand feel is not bad.

Qin Yi also changed clothes for Luo Qingyan, and the two left Nanyuan together for Linshuiju.

Linshuiju is a viewing platform built on the lake. Even in the hottest summer when the lotus is in full bloom, Yunshang doesn't like to go to Linshuiju. Now that it is getting colder, and there are no lotus leaves on the lake to enjoy, Linshuiju is not a very good place. I am afraid that the scenery of any small courtyard in the mansion is better than Linshuiju, but Yunshang is still the same. The banquet was arranged in Linshuiju.

Four or five people have already arrived, perhaps because the prince invited them, all of them are proud and dressed in extraordinary clothes. Jade is all good jade. Clothes are made of the most fashionable and expensive fabrics. Many of them are still embroidered with gold thread. They look extremely rich. Phase, from extraordinary products.

When Yun Chang glanced over, it was as if she saw moving golden dolls, and the corner of her mouth grinned, and her smile became even brighter.

"The prince is here, the princess is here." Qin Yi also imitated the voice of the servants in the palace and sang.

When the people sitting in the room heard the words, they got up in a panic, not daring to raise their eyes, and hastily saluted: "Cao Min pays homage to His Royal Highness and Princess Concubine."

Luo Qingyan was rare and gentle, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Since you are the honored guests invited by this palace, you don't need to be so polite. Get up and just sit down. I don't like people who kneel at every turn. .”

Several people quickly agreed, stood up and sat back in their seats.

Luo Yan smiled lightly, and his eyes lightly swept over several people, "I don't know who you are, why don't you introduce yourself, so that Bengong can get to know each other better."

Yun Shang picked up the teapot on the side and poured a cup of tea for Luo Qingyan, and also poured a cup for herself, then sat quietly and watched the show.

The few people looked flattered, looked at each other, and introduced themselves from right to left: "Caomin Qianlai is the shopkeeper of Longfenglou. Besides Longfenglou, there are several restaurants."

Yun Chang raised her eyes and looked at the fat middle-aged man. She had been to Longfenglou before, but the shopkeeper she saw was not the one in front of her. I'm afraid this is the real boss.

"Qian Lai, this name is very good." Luo Qingyan also raised the corners of his mouth, "I have been to Longfenglou Bengong several times, and the food in the store tastes very good."

"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it, Your Highness is absurd." That Qian Lai smiled so much that his eyes narrowed, he was probably extremely happy in his heart, but he still pretended to be humble.

The man next to Qian Lai took up the conversation, "I've met Your Highness, the grassman's name is Gusu Jingyang, and his family is an escort agency. If Your Highness wants to bet on any escorts in the future, just come to our escort agency, and you will definitely not get any money."

Yun Chang's eyes fell on Gusu Jingyang. The man was in his thirties, but he was tall and strong. Because he was a martial arts practitioner, he had a bit of pride on his body. This Gusu family Yunshang has heard of it. Generally speaking, there is always only one place for escort bureaus. It's just that the Gusu family opened escort bureaus to every city in the Xia Kingdom, only accepting escorts worth no less than five thousand taels of silver, and never missed a escort. It's rare for Yunshang to become rich by being a dart guard, but the Gusu family is capable.

Luo Qingyan cupped his hands towards the man: "Thank you very much."

For the next businessmen, Luo Qingyan also asked them to introduce themselves one by one. Luo Qingyan has a good memory, and after introducing them like this, he wrote down everyone's names, and all the businessmen knelt down separately Sitting on both sides of the room, there is a low table in front of them.

Yun Chang scanned and found that there were twenty-seven people who came, and there were only three women. The person representing Xiao Ji came with a strange face. He was a young man in his twenties with a handsome face.

Xiao Ji's rise is very fast, and Xiao Ji's owner is also very mysterious, which often attracts people's attention. The man said that his name is Xiao Yun.

Yun Chang squinted her eyes, she was very familiar with this name, and she introduced herself like this when she was wearing men's clothes before. After the man finished speaking, he blinked lightly at Yunshang, Yunshang froze for a moment, then laughed, it turned out that it was Ning Qian who came here.

"Everyone is here today, let's start." Luo whispered softly, turned around and glanced at Yunshang, Yunshang nodded slightly, clapped her hands, and Qin Yi let the woman who was already there The maid waiting outside the door came in with plates, and put down five plates in front of everyone, all of which were covered.

Luo Qingyan opened the plates first, his eyes fell on the five plates, a smile flashed in his eyes quickly, and he raised his head, "You are welcome, please."

When everyone heard the words, they quickly opened the plates one after another, but when they saw the things on the plate, their expressions became very exciting. <
