Chapter 25
"My daughter went to set up a lotus lantern." Hua Zuili couldn't figure out the meaning of his words, so she continued, "I set up a bright red lotus lantern on the bank of the Mirror River."

"He Deng, do you... like it?"

Lotus lantern?Hua Zuili was a little confused by the question, she looked suspiciously, and saw that Mei Zhuoxue's face was calm and breezy, but the fingers that were playing with the teacup were slightly curled up, fingernails moved the wall of the cup, as if...a little nervous?
"Fortunately."

"As long as you like it." He smiled slightly, and his usually cool voice was a little softer.

Hua Zuili listened and watched, but for some reason, her heart suddenly tightened, she felt as if she had fallen into some trap unknowingly, she took a sip of tea, suppressed the irritability in her heart and asked: "Your Highness is looking for a courtier?" Come on, what's the matter?"

Mei Zhuoxue paused for a moment with her fingertips, stood up, and took a guqin from the shelf of the rosewood long table.

The Qingtong Guqin is simple and elegant. The seven crystal clear ice silkworm strings are straight and tight. On the left and right sides, gorgeous plum blossoms blooming like blood are carved on it, lifelike, like branches growing out of the Guqin.

He lightly stroked the guqin, "This is a thank you gift from Gu to the Hua family."

"The orphan is weak and sick. Although he is a prince, everyone in the court looks up to the third brother. He feels that he will not live alone for long, and that seat will belong to the third brother sooner or later. Not for nothing."

The secrets in the court were casually told by him like gossip, and Hua Zuili felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. If it had been before, she would have changed the topic with the idea that one thing more is worse than one thing less. But after rebirth, she realized that as a The prime minister's daughter, these things are inextricably related to her, it's not that she can avoid them if she wants to.

She not only listens, but listens carefully.

"Your Highness is courageous and resourceful. He is knowledgeable about the past and the present. How can you not be blessed by the Holy Grace? You are too worried."

"You don't have to try to comfort me, saying that good and bad are up to them, and I don't care."

He raised his finger and plucked the strings, "Prince's Accompanying Reading sounds nice in name, but the ones who come every time are similar to those who sow discord like Chen Zhisheng. If it wasn't for the help of 'Lingdi' this time, I would be lonely and fierce." More than good."

Hua Zuili: "..."

She suddenly had a feeling of being stabbed in the heart.

"So this piano is just a thank you gift."

Guqin was pushed forward by him, Hua Zuili looked at it, and suddenly remembered that when he first met him, he was sculpting this guqin, saying that he was ashamed of someone, and wanted to please that person's heart.

Thinking about it now, he must have anticipated the consequences at that time, and was afraid of offending the prime minister's mansion, so he wanted to slap a sweet date, heh, old fox.

"Your Highness is too famous." Hua Zuili pushed the guqin back expressionlessly, "Since ancient times, the ruler is the most important, and the minister is the least. Cheng Yun should protect His Highness, how can he accept His Highness's gift for this, and..."

Before she finished speaking, there was a hasty knock on the door of the private room in vain.

Mei Zhuoxue came in, and the boy who had led her just now opened the door and stepped into the room.

"Your Highness, someone is making trouble in Golden Mifang."

"Just throw them both out, there's no need to make a fuss."

"But..." The little boy glanced up at the drunken flower in the purple skirt under the candlelight, but was swept away by his master coldly, and then quickly lowered his head, "The son of the prime minister is also among the troublemakers, it's not good... ..."

"Chengyun?!" Hua Zuili was shocked, and hurriedly stood up, "What's going on?!"

She was led out of the private room, and along the way, the young man briefly explained the cause and effect.

Hua Chengyun came to Jinmifang for fun, just ordered an excerpt of Wu Song's Fighting the Tiger, listened to the music on the second floor, and ran into the eldest son of Peng's family who also came to Happy and Happy Yushi.

These two people are extremely interesting, one claims to be an incomparable little overlord in the capital, and the other claims to be a local snake at the foot of the imperial city that no one dares to mess with.He is also a dude, and he also has no brains.

The so-called two bandit chieftains can't walk out of one mountain, they can be regarded as the sharp point of the needle, in short, they will fight when they meet.

No, we made an appointment in a game, with a hundred taels of pressure as the bet, Hua Chengyun lost terribly, it's actually nothing to do with this, the key is that Hua Chengyun said that Peng You was cheating, about this, the two of them agreed Unable to argue, almost smashed the Accord.

Hua Zuili's head hurts from hearing this, gambling is strictly prohibited in their house, not to mention breaking the rules, and making such a big commotion, it's really...

But then again, she understands Cheng Yun, he is not the kind of person who will find excuses to play tricks when he loses, so there must be something here.

Walking to No. [-] Feiyun Accord, before Hua Zuili opened the door, she heard a lively 'crackling' inside.

She opened the door expressionlessly and looked. There was a piece of wood residue on the ground. A young man in a fine robes was glaring, his sleeves were being held tightly by a little maid beside him. Opposite him was a fat, fat man with a big belly. , was also luxuriously dressed, but the young man kept raising his hand to cover his left eye, standing in the middle of a group of servants with arrogance and yelling.

"Hua Chengyun! How dare you hit me! If I don't teach you a lesson today, you don't even know how powerful your ancestor Peng is!"

"Ancestor? Young master, I am admonishing you, an unworthy descendant, on behalf of your ancestor! Playing dirty tricks, playing tricks, and beating you will be light!"

……

The two sides quarreled.

Helplessly and somewhat embarrassed, the young man asked Hua Zuili for instructions, Hua Zuili looked indifferent, picked up the broken table leg, weighed it in his hand, raised his head, lifted it, and threw it violently.

The wooden stick passed through the gap where they faced each other like a slinging arrow, and then nailed it straight to the wall with a "ding".

For a moment, it seemed that the whole world stood still.

Facing more than a dozen pairs of astonished eyes, Hua Zuili patted the sawdust on her hands very calmly, "Is the quarrel over?"

"Sister..." Hua Chengyun immediately found the backbone, frowned, and was about to run over to complain, but was firmly fixed in place by Hua Zuili's light and light eyes.

"Zhiqiu." Hua Zuili ignored him and asked Zhiqiu, "What's going on?"

She needs to know more details.

Zhiqiu immediately came to Hua Zuili's side, and without hiding anyone, he directly and openly explained the cause.

"Drawing the dominoes, you can always draw the boards you need, right?"

"so what!"

Peng You was terrified by Hua Zuili's slowly looking inquiring eyes, he stared back, and unconsciously raised his voice: "I can touch the cards, that's my ability! If you say I'm cheating, then You have to produce evidence, otherwise, it will be slander! Be careful, I will report to the court to sue you!"

"Correct!"

"that is!"……

The little minions accompanying him also shouted along.

Hua Zuili walked over with a chuckle, reaching out to pick up the dominoes on the table, but Peng You held it in his hand first, and he stared straight at Hua Zuili without blinking his eyes.

"Miss Hua, although you are a beauty, you can't mess with my things. If you really want to see...come and kiss me."
