The Grand Princess

Chapter 54: Trap (1)

This thought flashed for that moment, and Pei Wenxuan was a little surprised.

Behind him was the sound of Li Rong's gentle breathing, and Pei Wenxuan froze. He opened his eyes in the dark, not daring to think about it.

But his mind couldn't stop thinking. He couldn't help but imagine that Su Rongqing and Li Rong were together. Such a scene was not unfamiliar. It was something he had seen countless times in his memory.

But this fantasy is more cruel than memory is that this life is different from the previous life.

In his previous life, he knew clearly that Su Rongqing could not really steal Li Rong in his entire life. He was incomplete and his status was low. He and Li Rong had a deep vengeance separated by a sea of ​​blood. The two of them were just cuddling together in the dark for warmth. He could not really have Li Rong. Rong, Li Rong is Pei Wenxuan's wife and always will be.

But now it's different.

Su Rongqing is now a well-known son. He was born in a family of hundreds of years. He can marry Li Rong back on a big sedan chair and have children. From that moment on, Li Rong will not have any, little relationship with him.

When this idea came to mind, Pei Wenxuan had never perceived the sharp pain in his heart so clearly. This kind of pain seemed to be a reminder and a prediction.

Let him understand that the so-called letting Li Rong and Su Rongqing together is nothing but a good dragon for Ye Gong.

He actually admired everything about Li Rong, like this in his previous life, and in this life, he has not really gotten rid of it.

Knowing that he could not get Li Rong in his previous life, he kept telling himself that he didn't care, struggling with lies and occasional sobriety, until he looked back in this life, he dared to say that his greatest regret was Li Rong. .

But now he seems to be looking back on the path of his previous life. He can't get Li Rong, he knows clearly.

How could a person like Li Rong turn around so easily? She liked him only a little bit back then, let alone him now?

He hurt Li Rong, stung Li Rong's trust, and he is not a perfect person. He is stingy, indecisive, emotional, and deep-minded. There are a lot of mess at home, which is incomparable to Su Rongqing. Others might even say that he is Grand Master Pei, but Li Rong saw him really thoroughly, knowing how ordinary a dog is under his skin.

He knew that such a self couldn't make Li Rong look back, so he pretended to be himself and never looked back, but in fact, Li Rong was like spirits to him, such as poppies. After being contaminated, he simply gave up the constant addiction.

How many times, as long as two people meet, he will fall into it.

Pei Wenxuan realized this and closed his eyes, a little painful.

He didn't want to think about it anymore.

He closed his eyes, perhaps because he was too tired for a day, and finally fell asleep. It’s just that all night in his dreams were scenes from his previous life. Looking back on the day when he married Li Rong, he saw Li Rong fanning his hands. Come down, then raised his eyes, smiled at him, and called out: "Rong Qing."

He woke up from his dream, breathing heavily in the dark, people outside whispered to remind him that it was time to go up, Pei Wenxuan slowed down for a while before responding in a low voice, and was about to get up and go to the next room to wash, so as not to disturb Li Rong. Just watch Li Rong sit up and rub her eyes and said: "Are you going to the morning?"

"Yes."

Pei Wenxuan said, only to remember that since Li Rong had established the Supervision Department and had an official position, she had to go to the early court.

Li Rong went up to court the first day, struggling to get up, and looked extremely painful. This made Pei Wenxuan amused. He stretched out his hand to help her, called people in, helped her out of bed, and smiled: "Today I want to go to court, I didn't go to bed early yesterday, so I was suffering?"

"Pei Wenxuan," Li Rong closed his eyes, trying to get more sleep, and said vaguely, "How do you get up every day?"

Pei Wenxuan was asked and laughed by her, but did not answer. The maid came in and helped Li Rong to dress Li Rong.

The two changed clothes. Li Rong yawned and went out with him. At this time, it was still dark, and Li Rong got into the carriage and preached to Pei Wen: "When you call me, I have to sleep for a while."

Pei Wenxuan responded. He watched Li Rong sleep on the side of the carriage with his head on his head. He looked at it quietly for a while, feeling mixed.

He didn't know whether he should be closer to Li Rong or farther away from Li Rong. He just watched Li Rong know nothing about everything, and just bowed his head to take a nap.

After Pei Wenxuan watched for a long time, he finally held Li Rong shortly before she almost fell. Li Rong raised her eyes blankly. Pei Wenxuan sat next to her, raised his hand to press her on his shoulder, and whispered. Said: "Let on it."

Li Rong responded without noticing any difference, and leaned on Pei Wenxuan's shoulder.

When they arrived at the palace, the sky became a bit brighter, and the two got off the carriage and walked into the palace together.

The wind in the morning was a bit cool, and Li Rong's mind was sober. She came to her spirits and turned to look at Pei Wenxuan, who had been silent: "You are very strange today."

Pei Wenxuan held the wat board, his expression was calm, and he said without pain or itching, "Oh?"

"What are you thinking about today? I was about to fall before you came to rely on me? You don't usually do that."

"Huh?" Pei Wenxuan pretended to be fine, "I didn't pay attention either, maybe I didn't rest well, I didn't expect it."

"Yes," Li Rong nodded, and then she remembered something and smiled, "I haven't experienced the feeling of lack of sleep for a long time, but now I finally realize that it feels too uncomfortable. In the future, you should still be busy in moderation and don't be too tired. Up."

Pei Wenxuan replied and said calmly: "Thank your highness."

Seeing that Pei Wenxuan was in a bad mood, Li Rong glanced at him suspiciously, really not sure what Pei Wenxuan thought.

Fortunately, the two arrived at the entrance of the hall soon. Li Rong and him stood apart. Li Rong stood in the forefront because of his high status. Pei Wenxuan stood in the back row of the team. They were far apart, and there was nothing to say.

Li Rong stopped to the crowd, and everyone was spying. Yesterday, the imperial decree established by the Supervision Department was already down, and then the ministries were notified one by one. The people who were doing things were the emperor’s cronies, which shows that the emperor attached great importance to this matter.

Now that Li Rong really came to the court, everyone was curious and puzzled, peeping at Li Rong to see how Li Rong planned to go to the court.

Everyone looked at Li Rong secretly, and Li Rong knew in his heart that there was no shyness of a girl, the old **** was there, his eyes closed, and he stood to sleep.

After a while, Li Ming arrived and began to announce that all the officials entered the hall with flowing water. Li Rong and Shang Guan Xu entered side by side, forming a row. After entering the hall, she was not half embarrassed. After the crowd bowed their heads, straightened up, Li Ming saw her standing in the middle of the hall, and couldn't help laughing: "Why is Pingle standing with Lord Shangguan? Come on, come up to me."

Li Rong heard this and said with a smile: "Yes."

With that, she went on the high platform and stood on the steps under Li Ming's left hand.

This is her position.

Once they were in this position, everyone knew something about it. Knowing that Li Ming had set up a supervisory department, he was afraid that his heart had already been decided.

Li Ming arranged for Li Rong's position, turned his head and smiled, "Do you love Qing have anything to play today?"

After Li Ming asked, Su Rongqing and Pei Wenxuan stood up at the same time and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to tell!"

The two went out together, until Li Ming was stunned. After Li Ming hesitated for a moment, he pointed to Su Rongqing and said, "Su Shilang first."

"Your Majesty, the Wechat Minister wants to participate in the supervision of Yu Shi Pei Wen Xuan Pei. Master Pei trespassed into the penalty department yesterday, wounded Shu Ling Master Shi Chen, and robbed the file. Please also your Majesty to severely punish such a villain!"

After Su Rongqing said this, everyone's eyes fell on Pei Wenxuan. Li Ming laughed and looked at Pei Wenxuan: "Pei Wenxuan, what do you want to play?"

"Return to Your Majesty," Pei Wenxuan's voice is not slow and uneasy, "Weichen wants to participate in the criminal ministry's order Shi Chenping, resisting the order, deliberately embarrassing His Highness Pingle to handle the case, and even intends to murder His Highness, please make a serious investigation. At the same time, Su Rongqing is Chen If he is straight under the commander and not strictly disciplined, it should be the same crime."

"I understand," Li Ming nodded his head after hearing the words of these two people. "This matter doesn't happen to Master Pei, Pingle." Li Ming turned to look at Li Rong, "You can explain."

"Return to the emperor," Li Rong respectfully said, "Yesterday, the elder ministers went to the criminal department to mention the Qin's case file. According to your will, the criminal department should fully cooperate with the children, but the criminal department is embarrassed and desperate. , Erchen and Master Chen clashed, Master Chen hurriedly acted, and was detained by the guards of Erchen, just when Master Su arrived, he thought it was the hand of a messenger."

"So," Li Ming nodded, then turned to look at Su Rongqing, "Master Su, what is the truth?"

"Your Majesty, there is a misunderstanding," Su Rongqing said slowly, "The imperial decree was just released yesterday, and Master Chen has not yet been notified by the superiors of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The adults did not dare to let them go at will, and it was not deliberately embarrassed. And Master Chen started to say that His Highness had misunderstood. Master Chen's voice was louder, I was afraid that he would be shocked by His Highness. These ministers all know that they disturbed His Highness yesterday, and the minister was deep. Feeling guilty. Therefore, the participation of Weichen does not involve His Highness, but Master Pei."

With that said, Su Rongqing turned his head and looked at Pei Wenxuan: "The princess is the head of the Supervision Department. It is reasonable and reasonable to go to the Criminal Department to adjust the file. Who gives Master Pei the power to break into the Criminal Department like this? If Master Pei does not deal with it today, anyone can come to our Criminal Department so presumptuously, how will our Criminal Department rule people and handle cases in the future?!"

Su Rongqing asked, Li Ming also felt a little uncomfortable.

Pei Wenxuan looked up at Li Rong, and Li Rong gently shook his head at him.

It’s not impossible to break with Su Rongqing at this moment, but what Su Rongqing said is correct. After all, the Ministry of Justice is a judicial office in a country. After all, they are so hard-working that they will lose money after all. If they break, Li Ming still has to give the punishment department a bit of face in the end.

In any case, they have already got the files in their hands, and they have to give the Criminal Ministry a step up.

Pei Wenxuan understood Li Rong’s meaning and sighed. He knelt down and prodded towards Li Ming: "Your Majesty, yesterday, the Weichen trespassed into the Penal Department without permission. I was also worried about the princess. Although the Weichen is a courtier, he is also the husband of the princess. I was in a rush and forgot my identity. Although it was reasonable, but I was out of law, I hope your majesty and the adults of the Criminal Department will forgive me."

Pei Wenxuan convinced him to be soft, Li Ming waved his hand and nodded: "Okay, things are very clear. I let the Supervision Department take care of things, and Chen Ping stopped him. Not only did he stop him, but also hurt Pingle. Pingle Pei Wenxuan hardened. It’s not right to break into the Penalty Department. It’s not right for the Penalty Department to put their words on the defensive. They each hit 50 boards. Mrs. Chen deducts three months' salary, and Pingle and Pei Wenxuan also deduct three months' salary, okay?"

"Your Majesty, this..." Li Ming said directly, "Why, the criminal department is still not satisfied?"

"Your Majesty Shengming." Su Rongqing immediately said, respectfully, "Weichen has no opinion."

Su Rongqing spoke, and other people couldn't say anything.

Li Ming nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, that's it. Master Pei, get up, do other adults have other things?"

Li Ming moved the topic to the past, and everyone knew what he was interested in, so he didn't ask more, and moved to the two sides.

Li Rong secretly glanced at the expressionless Pei Wenxuan, and saw that he was still stern, and couldn't help thinking. For today's Pei Wenxuan, the three-month salary, did he dare to feel heartache?

When the two were going to the court, just after dawn, Shangguan Ya finished dressing, and went to the casino in the name of going to the poetry club to participate in the talks.

Before she came back last night, she heard about Li Rong and knew that Li Rong had agreed to her.

So she came to the casino early in the morning, and after searching all the way, she saw Su Ronghua who was pressing on the side of the gaming table.

She and Su Ronghua are not acquainted, just because they met last time, and then Su Ronghua often came to gamble, so there was a bit of overlap. She arrived behind Su Ronghua and saw that Su Ronghua was gambling excitedly, and patted Su Ronghua on the shoulder lightly: "Master Su."

"Hey don't bother..."

Before he finished speaking, Su Ronghua realized who was standing behind him. He turned his head in a little astonishment, and looked up and down Shangguanya, and said with some uncertainty, "Shangguan Xiao...little young man?"

"Is there time to take a step to speak?"

Shangguanya smiled and said, Su Ronghua suddenly laughed when he heard this: "Other people ask me, then there is no time, but the words of Master Shangguan..."

Su Ronghua looked at her up and down, her expression was full of teasing, her eyes made Shang Guanya frown, and then she saw this person gently bending over, approaching her, and laughing softly: "There is time to go down at any time."

"It seems that I didn't slap enough last time," Shangguan Ya said slowly, turning around and saying, "Let's go."

With that said, Shangguanya led Su Ronghua to the second floor, and the two entered the private room, sitting on each side at the gaming table. Shangguanya asked him to go down. Su Ronghua put a fan on his belt, got up to pour tea for Shangguanya, and said with a smile: "Is nothing to go to the Three Treasures Hall, Miss Shangguan can you use it?"

"I was going to try my luck, but I didn't expect to run into you."

Shangguanya put her arms around her chest, looked at Su Ronghua on the opposite side, and sneered: "You come to the casino early in the morning, you really can't get enough of it."

"With each other," Su Ronghua put down the teapot and shook the fan coolly, "Miss Shangguan, everyone is beautiful, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and calligraphy, and the candidate for the princess of Shangguan family. I will spend a little time here. Compared with the young lady, it is in front of Guan Gong Playing a big sword is not self-reliant. After all, the seven-rank official in the lower district is not a special official of the Yushitai. You don't need to go to the early court. It is normal to stay here and gamble."

After a conversation, Shangguanya almost knew who this was. She was too lazy to talk to him and said directly: "Talk to you about something. Your Royal Highness would like to see your brother. See if you can invite your brother out. , Your Highness sits in the village, how about a meal?"

Su Ronghua didn't speak, he took a cup and sipped his tea.

Shangguanya continued next to him: "The benefits will not be missing from you. I know that you have an appointment with the third son of the Xie family for a cockfight next month. He is the first chicken king in Huajing. You are looking for a big **** that can beat him. , I happened to have one in my hand. Fighting the chicken king from Youzhou, fighting on the battlefield, without defeat, I will send you, how?"

When Su Ronghua heard this, he almost spewed a sip of tea.

He was choked by the tea and couldn't raise his head in tears or laughter: "Miss Shangguan, exchange a chicken for my brother, did you tell me wrong?"

"Of course this is a good thing," Shangguanya said with a calm expression, "the bad thing, it's not necessary, no need to talk, talk about hurting feelings, don't you think? Anyway, it's just to meet, have a meal, I think second son Su I may also have this thought, so I may not disagree, what do you think?"

"Well," Su Ronghua thought, "He may not agree to ask him to come out to eat with the girl, but if it is your Highness, it will be different. But," Su Ronghua looked up at Shangguanya, "Why should I help him help you? Huh?"

"What does the eldest son want?" Shangguanya heard Su Ronghua's meaning, and it was about to benefit. Su Ronghua looked at the gaming table and smiled: "Would you like to bet a game?"

"What are you betting on?"

"Bet on big or small, two wins in three rounds, you win, I will help you, if I win..."

Shangguanya drank the tea and did not speak, but listened to Su Ronghua's words: "Show me the dress for the second time."

Shangguanya sneered while listening to Su Ronghua's laugh.

"Then you wait to lose. I have never lost a bet on big or small."

"Oh?" Su Ronghua raised his hand to her chest, "Then I'm too scared."

"Come here," Shangguanya called the attendant at the door, and said, "Go to the gate of the palace and wait. The princess will tell her when she is in front of her, let her be free for dinner time and dress up better. I will ask her for dinner!"

The entourage who followed Shangguanya was the one Li Rong gave to her. After listening to her instructions, he immediately responded.

Shangguan Ya took the dice and believed: "It's started?"

Su Ronghua held his chin, looked at Shangguanya obsessively, and smiled: "You shake it, I like the way you shake the dice."

"ill!"

Shangguan Ya rolled her eyes.

Then he started to shake the dice frantically, Su Ronghua closed his eyes, as if listening to wonderful music, his face was intoxicated.

After Shangguanya put down the dice, he gently tapped the fan on "Da" without opening his eyes, and said with a smile: "Da."

Shangguanya froze, and then drove the dice, which was really big.

After shaking three rounds in a row, Su Ronghua was in the middle, Shangguanya was a little anxious, and said coldly: "No, it doesn't count, it's me who is shaking the dice.

"Okay." Su Ronghua stretched out a beautiful hand, took the dice, and smiled, "I dare not disobey the beauty."

When Shangguanya and Su Ronghua were in a stalemate, Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan were coming out of the court. Seeing that Pei Wenxuan's expression was not good, Li Rong comforted him: "I will pay you your monthly salary, so don't think about it. Or do you feel angry? You are not such a person who can't think about it..."

Pei Wenxuan heard Li Rongxu's talk, and he whispered: "His Royal Highness, I am thinking about official affairs. Your Royal Highness need not worry. These are all trivial matters, and the ministers don't take it to heart."

Pei Wenxuan, Li Rong, understands him. She is willing to believe his nonsense, but she also feels that it is inappropriate to force him to speak, so she nodded and said: "Forget it, I won't go into it, but if you feel uncomfortable Yes, you must tell me."

Pei Wenxuan answered. As soon as the two of them left the palace gate, they were stopped by a person sent by Shangguanya. The person relayed what Shangguanya had said. Li Rong laughed after hearing this: "Ask me for dinner and let me Dress up better? Where is she?"

"At the casino." The visitor gave the report with a sharp glance, "I'm betting with Grandpa Su."

Hearing this, Li Rong raised her brows: "Su Ronghua?"

"Yes."

Li Rong paused for a moment, and then directly said: "Go, take me over and take a look."

With that, she turned her head to look at Pei Wenxuan: "Are you still okay?"

"If your Royal Highness is going to the gambling shop, then the minister will accompany it."

Pei Wenxuan frowned. He was worried that Li Rong would go to such a place alone. Li Rong smiled and said, "If you have something to do..."

"It was done last night." Pei Wenxuan interrupted her directly, and Li Rong felt relieved after hearing this, and said, "Let's go."

The two said, they rushed to the casino together.

The two of them were led to the box by the attendants. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Shangguanya and Su Ronghua sitting opposite each other. Shangguanya was holding a card in her hand, her eyes were red and her hair was messy, like a gambler in a hurry. Opposite Su Ronghua sipped his tea leisurely and said slowly: "Miss Shangguan, Your Highness is here. After losing so many rounds, you should give up."

"No," Shangguan Ya said immediately, "I can win, I can win immediately!"

Listening to this, Li Rong knew that Shangguanya was silly for gambling, and Pei Wenxuan whispered: "Take people away, you won't be able to gamble."

Li Rong walked behind Shangguanya and patted Shangguanya on the shoulder: "Aya."

Shangguanya was taken aback by Li Rong, and when she saw Li Rong coming, she remembered something and stuttered: "Dian Dian Dian...Your Highness!"

"What are you doing?" Li Rong laughed. She seldom saw Shangguanya look so confused. As she said, she raised her head and nodded towards Su Ronghua. Su Ronghua stood up and saluted, Pei Wenxuan saluted with him: "Master Su."

"Master Pei."

"Why did Master Su bet with Aya?" Li Rong saw Shangguanya seem to be a little embarrassed, so she turned to ask Su Ronghua, Su Ronghua smiled and looked at Shangguanya: "Miss Shangguan wants to help His Highness ask my brother for dinner, and said she is with me Take a bet. I promised her if I lost, but I'm still shameful now."

"Oh?" Li Rong was amused by the incident, "I didn't expect Master Su to be so skilled in gambling."

"Just laugh."

"His Royal Highness..." Shangguanya was a little embarrassed and whispered, "I'm not feeling lucky today."

"You bet with him to invite Su Rongqing to dinner?"

"Yes." Shangguanya whispered, "I didn't get things done..."

"Well," Li Rong thought for a while, "This matter, this palace asks you. You have done your best, so be it," Li Rong smiled and looked at Su Ronghua. "

"Should I still bet on my brother for dinner?" Su Ronghua looked at Pei Wenxuan. Pei Wenxuan stood by with no expression on his face. Li Rong smiled: "Yes, if Master Pei loses, I will let Aya accompany you to eat."

"Huh?" Shangguanya was a little dazed, Su Ronghua clapped her hands and said happily: "Wonderful! Master Pei, please."

Pei Wenxuan stood still, Li Rong personally pulled a stool for Pei Wenxuan and said, "Wenxuan, come, let Master Su see your level."

Pei Wenxuan did not speak, Li Rong raised her eyebrows: "Wenxuan?"

Pei Wenxuan raised his eyes to look at Li Rong. Seeing Li Rong's urging with a look of expectation, he took a deep breath and sat down on the chair.

Li Rong squeezed Pei Wenxuan's shoulders, covered his ears, and whispered: "Work hard, you will be rewarded if you win."

Pei Wenxuan lowered his eyes, Su Ronghua raised his hand and said, "What does Master Pei want to bet on?"

"Push the card." Li Rong made the decision for him. She knew what Pei Wenxuan was good at. Pei Wenxuan didn't move. Su Ronghua looked at him and confirmed: "Master Pei?"

"Listen to your highness."

Su Ronghua nodded slightly and took the card.

Pushing a card means taking a set of dominoes and dealing cards to two parties. Each time the two parties start bidding, they can choose to take a card, throw a card on the table, and then buckle it when the next card is thrown out. Or draw two cards at the same time, the total number of cards in the hand cannot exceed ten, or you lose immediately. Either of the two parties can call a stop at any time, and compare the size of the two parties after stopping, and the maximum win if it does not exceed ten. If no one calls a stop in the middle, then after the cards are dealt, the two sides will showdown.

Pushing not only depends on luck, but the most important thing is counting cards. Pei Wenxuan is not addicted to gambling, but playing push is rarely a rival.

The attendant cleared the table and began to issue cards to both parties. Li Rong stood behind Pei Wenxuan and watched Pei Wenxuan take the cards.

Su Ronghua held his chin in a leisurely manner, staring at his own card, choosing one or two.

Pei Wenxuan didn't like to talk when he pushed the cards, Li Rong stood behind him, nervously watching him take the cards.

Pei Wenxuan felt Li Rong's tension, his expression remained unchanged, but his heart felt a little uncomfortable.

He wanted to just leave if he lost, but knew that he couldn't.

His feelings are his feelings, he has to help Li Rong, what Li Rong wants to do, he can help.

He can't stop Li Rong from going the way she wants to go because he feels uncomfortable and he likes Li Rong.

He is her friend, she trusts herself, he shouldn't live up to this trust.

If he likes this person, he should perfect this person.

He used his strength to pinch the cards. Li Rong watched with all his attention and saw that his two cards were already at eight points. At this time, he could choose to fold a card, take a card, or choose to take two cards. Eight o'clock was already too big. Seeing him hesitate, Li Rong hurriedly said, "Fold."

Pei Wenxuan did not speak, Su Ronghua laughed: "It seems that Master Pei's cards are not small."

"Master Su's card face is not small."

Pei Wenxuan's distinct hand rubbed the cards in her hand. Li Rong saw that Pei Wenxuan was silent, and she did not dare to speak. She suddenly understood the excitement of Shangguanya's indulging in gambling. She stood beside Pei Wenxuan, waiting. Pei Wenxuan's decision.

After a while, Pei Wenxuan smiled softly, raised Qing Run's eyes to look at her, and asked: "Want to win?"

"Of course I do." Li Rong answered as expected.

Pei Wenxuan pushed the card forward and said directly: "Two cards, draw."

"Master Pei is bold enough."

Su Ronghua raised his eyebrows, but Pei Wenxuan didn't say a word. He took the tea from the side and took a sip slowly.

The attendant pushed the two cards over, turned them over, two aces, plus the cards that Pei Wenxuan already had, exactly ten.

Su Ronghua laughed and pushed the card away, which was exactly nine o'clock.

"When is Master Su going to set the time and place?"

Pei Wenxuan asked as if on official business, Su Ronghua helplessly: "Tonight, Mingyue Tower."

"Okay." Pei Wenxuan nodded, stood up, and only said: "Since the matter is settled, my Royal Highness and I will leave first.

With that, Pei Wenxuan pulled up Li Rong and walked directly out.

Li Rong gave Shangguanya a goodbye sign. Shangguanya worshipped Pei Wenxuan. Su Ronghua hesitated and said, "Master Pei, do you want to play another round?"

Pei Wenxuan ignored the two and dragged Li Rong out the door. When the two left, Shangguan Ya couldn't help but sigh, "So handsome."

Su Ronghua coughed lightly, walked behind Shangguanya, and shook the fan and said, "It's not very good to start today, but Miss Shangguan has lost so many rounds, how do you plan to compensate?"

"How do you want to pay?" Shangguanya turned her head, rather strange, Su Ronghua smiled and said, "Have a meal?"

"Forget it." Shangguanya waved her hand, "I'm leaving."

"Then go down to the Shangguan mansion and find Master Shangguan to eat?"

Su Ronghua continued to speak, Shangguanya immediately turned her head and said softly: "Where does Master Su think it is suitable?"

Li Rong was pulled out of the casino by Pei Wenxuan. As soon as he went out, Li Rong laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Pei Wenxuan pulled her, and didn't know why, so he was so reluctant to let go.

He pretended to be ignorant of everything, but forgot to hold her normally. Before Li Rong was relieved from his nervousness, the small fan gently pointed to his chest: "I finally know why Aya loves to gamble, just now. When the cards were opened, my heart beat a lot faster, and I was a little nervous."

"His Royal Highness is also nervous."

Pei Wenxuan dragged her forward slowly, Li Rong said slowly: "Yes, I didn't expect it myself. But really, Pei Wenxuan," Li Rong smiled and looked at him, "You are so handsome. very."

Pei Wenxuan chuckles: "His Royal Highness sometimes sees me pleasingly."

"I think you are pleasing to the eye most of the time?"

As Li Rong said, slowly realizing that there seemed to be some temperature in her hands, she suddenly realized that Pei Wenxuan was still pulling her, but the other party obviously didn't notice this.

She didn't know how to speak for a while. If she said it to remind her, she was afraid that Pei Wenxuan's temper would feel embarrassing and cautious again, and she was afraid that she would apologize again and again. But she didn't speak, she didn't know what was wrong, maybe it was embarrassing, and she felt her heart beating faster.

She raised her hand with a fan to drive away the heat on her face, and continued to chat and laugh: "How did you know that the last two cards are one point?"

"Calculated."

Pei Wenxuan's expression was flat. He pulled Li Rong, and there was a kind of stolen sweetness in his heart, slowly spreading. The two walked on the promenade. Li Rong listened to Pei Wenxuan's clear voice and explained calmly in the amplified heartbeat: "I remembered every card we both discarded. I probably figured out the points in his hand and also calculated the subsequent cards. This is not difficult."

"You are still smart, I can't remember so much."

Li Rong smiled and said, "No wonder you are always number one in reading."

"Because Your Highness doesn't need to remember these. Your Highness's cleverness is above the overall situation."

Pei Wenxuan talked to her and got to the side of the carriage together.

When he got to the side of the carriage, he had to let go. He lowered his eyes and helped Li Rong onto the carriage. Then he let go, and then smiled: "I didn't even notice..."

"Nothing, nothing," Li Rong hurriedly comforted him, "I didn't remind you because I was afraid you would mind so much. Are you going to the government office?"

"Where's your Royal Highness?" Pei Wenxuan looked at Li Rong, "Have you gone back?"

"I have to go back and prepare."

Li Rong said happily: "Aya is so troubled to set the game, I can't let her down. Choose clothes and put on makeup..."

Li Rong laughed, seemingly embarrassed: "It has to be girlish."

Pei Wenxuan watched Li Rong quietly, and seeing the joy, shyness, and girlish expectations in her smile, he blurted out: "Must go?"

Li Rong looked at him strangely, and Pei Wenxuan explained hurriedly: "I mean, the Qin case file..."

"I've read it all."

"Na Luojuan and other related personnel involved in the First World War in Huangping County..."

"I asked Xun Chuan to look for it." Li Rong knew what he was worried about and explained, "Don't worry, I know it well. The most important thing now is to get the list of the person in charge of the Qin Mansion and Yang Lie's letter. As long as Su Rongqing let go of this matter, everything is easy to say, I will contact him first today. What are you worried about?"

"Gone."

Pei Wenxuan looked at her, and Li Rong laughed: "Don't worry, I'll be back early today, and you should pay attention to it. I guess many people in the hall are staring at you, so don't get into trouble."

"Yes." Pei Wenxuan lowered his eyes and saluted: "His Royal Highness, don't worry, the Propaganda Committee will take good care of yourself. I wish your Highness," Pei Wenxuan felt his lips and teeth bitter, "Today's victory, everything goes well."

"Thanks, all right, you go and do things first, I'll go back."

Li Rong made a gesture and got into the carriage.

Soon after she got into the carriage, Jinglan Jingmei sat up.

On weekdays, when Pei Wenxuan was there, Jing Lan Jingmei followed in the carriage behind. Now Pei Wenxuan is sitting in the carriage behind, and Jing Lan Jingmei stepped forward to take care of Li Rong.

One of them pours tea for Li Rong and puts cakes, and the other pinches Li Rong's shoulders.

"The prince is not interested, but your Royal Highness quarreled with the prince?" Jingmei was a little curious, and Li Rong hurriedly said: "Don't wrong me, I'll treat him well."

"The husband and wife have been worrying about it for the past two days," Jing Lan said slowly, "His Royal Highness should care more. Between husband and wife, the most important thing is to hide things."

"You are young," Li Rong laughed at Jinglan's words. "There is no one in her husband's house, and she speaks like an old lady."

Jinglan smiled and said nothing, Li Rong thought about it: "But it is, you usually help me to look more, I'm not careful, the husband is a sentimental, I don't know where I provoke him."

When the two heard Li Rong's words, they couldn't help but laugh, and the three of them talked all the way back on the topic of Pei Wenxuan.

Back at the princess mansion, Li Rong confirmed that Xun Chuan had led people to find Luo Juan and the former Ministry of Huangping County who had fought. Then she pulled out the list of people from various ministries, and after thinking for a while, she gave a list and the corresponding gift list, which were sent to them.

After finishing her business, she began to bathe in incense, choose clothes and make-up, and choose hairpin jewelry.

These things seem simple, but when a woman really does it, it is extremely time-consuming. Li Rong chooses from left to right, and regrets not calling Pei Wenxuan over.

Pei Wenxuan has a very good aesthetic. The clothes and accessories he chooses are much better than those chosen by these maids. After choosing for a long time, Li Rong finally settled down. She chose a red gold thread embroidered peony long skirt, slender waist and wide sleeves. The figure is outlined to the extreme.

After Li Rong got dressed, it was dark, and news came from outside saying that Shangguanya had arrived at the door. Li Rong got up and went out. She saw Shangguanya put back aqua blue dress and lay on the carriage window waiting for her.

Li Rong knocked her lightly with a fan, and said with a smile: "It's getting more and more unruly in front of me."

"I'm completely embarrassed in front of you," Shang Guanya said, lying at the carriage window, watching the people coming and going outside, "I don't care what face she has."

"What kind of blows have you been hit by this?"

"I will send you to Mingyue Tower later," Shangguanya straightened up and sighed, "You and Su Rongqing have dinner, I have to have dinner with Su Ronghua."

"Why did you agree to have dinner with him?" Li Rong was a little strange, Shangguan Ya was helpless, "He said he wanted to sue my father for betting money."

Li Rong was amused by her, and her stomach hurts as she sits while laughing.

Shangguanya was decadent for a while, and energized: "I'm so hungry, just have a meal, I'm not afraid of her. The focus of this evening is on Your Royal Highness," Shangguanya said, raising her eyes to Li Rong, and after going up and down. Frowning, "Aren't you dressed too formal?"

"Huh?" Li Rong raised her hand, "Doesn't it look good?"

"It's not that good-looking, that is," Shangguanya thought for a while, "the momentum is too strong, and the sense of oppression is a bit heavy. But it doesn't matter," Shangguanya looked up and down, "people are good-looking, whatever. Let's come. Preview what to do tonight."

"Huh?" Li Rong was surprised, "I want to preview?"

"Of course." Shangguanya said decisively, "Everything must be planned and prepared. After all, you are
