The Regent Princess has run away again

Yuzhou country.

The palace was brightly lit. After listening to the report behind the screen, the man lying on the recliner chuckled and said, "As expected of Nangong Ye."

The man has a pair of gray-blue eyes, light brown eyelashes casting a shadow under his eyelids, a high nose bridge, beautiful thin lips, and a perfect jawline, which makes the man's handsome face look even more handsome.

The person behind the screen was silent for a while, then asked, "Do you need more people?"

"No, withdraw those people and don't alert the enemy."

"What about the Third Prince?"

"Don't bother."

The person behind the screen couldn't help but worry when he heard this, "But if it gets to His Majesty, it will be troublesome, and the blueprint..."

"I will take care of it myself, father. Since Nangong Ye wants it so much, then just give it back to him."

".....Yes," the person behind the screen opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but finally responded and retreated.

Wen Jingxuan took the grapes handed to him by the woman next to him, and his gray-blue eyes were filled with indescribable depth.

........

a few days later.

The new store has basically been renovated and the employees have been hired.

But the problem now is that she has to go and customize a special copper pot. Xue Zhiyu sat on a chair near the door, looking at the sketches she had drawn on the table, which were a two-grid hot pot and a four-grid hot pot.

"Xiao Qiu, please look after the store for me. I'm going to go out for a while."

"Miss, I will go with you."

Xue Zhiyu waved her hand and said, "I can go by myself."

After saying that, he picked up the blueprint and walked out of the shop.

After walking out of the shop, I walked straight forward. It was a famous copperware shop. There was nothing they couldn't make.

Inside the shop, a middle-aged man in brown clothes was standing by the window, holding a copper fan in his hand.

The copper fan sparkles in the sunlight, and on the fan there is an eagle with its wings spread, as if it will fly out of the fan at any time.

Xue Zhiyu couldn't help but look at the bronze fan a few more times, but quickly looked away.

"Miss, are you looking for some copperware?"

"I want to customize some copper pots. They must be made according to the drawings I gave. I need to discuss the price with your shopkeeper."

The waiter was stunned. It was the first time he heard that he had to go see the shopkeeper in person, so he naturally did not dare to neglect him.

"Miss, please wait a moment. I'll go in and tell the shopkeeper," the waiter said without delay and hurried into the inner room.

The shopkeeper was studying a small copper gadget in his hand. He caught a glimpse of the person who came in and frowned in displeasure. "What's wrong?"

The waiter could naturally see the shopkeeper's displeasure. Thinking of what the woman had just said, he said respectfully, "There's a lady outside who said she's here to order bronze ware, and she's brought drawings with her. Do you want to meet her?"

The shopkeeper was studying the things in his hand when he heard what the waiter said. He refused without thinking, "No, no, just say I'm busy. You guys can do whatever you want and don't bother me."

"Okay, I'll go out first."

"Go ahead," the shopkeeper continued to study the thing in his hand without even raising his head. After all, he had been working with bronze ware for so long and had never seen anything like this before. He was really curious.

The waiter came out of the inner room and found Xue Zhiyu standing by the window. He said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, our shopkeeper just happened to be busy. How about you show us the blueprint?"

Xue Zhiyu did not make things difficult for the waiter and handed over the blueprint. "If it can be done, send someone to find me at the Xue Mansion and say that the Third Miss asked you to come."

The waiter was stunned. The third lady of the Xue Mansion? Isn't that the newly appointed Princess Kangle by the Emperor, the miraculous woman who cured the strange disease in Stone Street? I didn't expect Princess Kangle to be so beautiful.

Without waiting for the waiter to react, Xue Zhiyu turned around and walked out of the store.

A middle-aged man holding a copper fan walked over slowly. He was quite curious about what kind of copperware the princess wanted to order.

"Show me the blueprint."

Hearing the middle-aged man's voice, the waiter handed over the blueprint without hesitation, his eyes full of admiration, "Mr. Situ, why are you here? Do you need to ask the shopkeeper to come out?"

Situ Hongru shook his head, "No need, I just came to take a look."

"Then I'll go get busy. If you see something good, call me over."

After the waiter left, Situ Hongru unfolded the drawings and began to look at them.

I originally thought it was just an ordinary bronze artifact and didn't have high expectations, until I saw the very detailed analysis inside, and my eyes suddenly lit up.

This drawing is perfect, and he has never seen this kind of copper pot anywhere else. How did the princess come up with the idea of ​​making this kind of copper pot?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He really wanted to do it himself.

He called the waiter over and explained the reason. The waiter naturally agreed. However, he was amazed at how lucky the princess was. Even if the man in front of him was invited by His Majesty, he might not agree. Moreover, Mr. Situ rarely made bronze ware, so you can imagine how precious it is.

After Situ Hongru left, the waiter hurried into the inner room and told him everything that had just happened.

"What? Why didn't Mr. Situ call me when he came?!"

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper was no longer in the mood to study the gadget in his hand. After all, he had not seen Situ Hongru for a long time, and he felt a huge psychological gap at this moment. If he had known earlier, he would have gone out. Maybe he could have chatted with Mr. Situ for a few words.

.......

"Useless! What's the point of me keeping you?"

As soon as these words came out, the Third Prince began to sweat profusely again due to the pain, his eyes fixed on the several imperial doctors kneeling below.

"Your Highness, please calm down! We are really powerless to do anything!"

After he finished speaking, the imperial doctors below could only kowtow continuously, as they didn't want their heads to be chopped off.

Wen Rui frowned, his body seemed to be churning constantly, and he almost wanted to kill himself by banging his head against the wall.

"puff!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and Wen Rui couldn't help but widen his eyes. A feeling of suffocation came from his chest. He grabbed the clothes in front of his chest and breathed in big gulps, as if trying to get some relief.

The imperial doctors kneeling below hurried over, but they were at a loss as to where to start.

But this situation came and went quickly. After a while, Wen Rui recovered again and the feeling of suffocation disappeared, as if everything just now was just an illusion.

This feeling was too uncomfortable. Wen Rui's almond-shaped eyes were full of femininity. Damn Nangong Ye, who made him suffer such a great crime, would sooner or later pay back everything he had suffered today.

"What happened to Third Brother?"

Outside the door, Wen Jingxuan walked in, supported by a group of women, with his left arm around the beauty from the Western Regions, his gray-blue eyes full of teasing.

Wen Rui frowned and waved his hand for everyone to leave.

The imperial doctors, who were originally nervous, immediately retreated as if relieved.

Wen Jingxuan also asked the women behind him to wait outside the door, and he walked over with the beauty from the Western Regions in his arms, and sat casually on a reclining chair beside him. He looked at the pale-faced Wen Rui and said slowly, "This must be the work of Nangong Ye."

Wen Rui didn't say anything, but instead looked at the Western beauty in his arms.

"Don't worry, she's deaf and can't hear it, right, Yue'er?"

The beauty from the Western Regions still had no reaction. She lay obediently in his arms, her pair of lake blue eyes as calm as water.

Wen Rui was relieved then, but think about it, given Wen Jingxuan's suspicious character, how could he tolerate a spy from another country staying in the palace intact.

"It is indeed Nangong Ye. It is because of him that I have been suffering these past few days."

Wen Jingxuan played with the hair of the person in his arms. He could hear the hatred in Wen Rui's words, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "He wants the border defense blueprint very much, right? Then just give it back to him."

"But we sent people with great effort to get that blueprint, how can we return it? Besides, I don't necessarily have to look for him in my situation. I have already sent people to find a miracle doctor," Wen Rui did not quite agree with Wen Jingxuan's words. He did not believe that Nangong Ye was the only one who could cure his strange disease.

"Third brother, you still see too superficially. Putting aside your strange disease, we can make a deal with him using the blueprints. Just say that it is information about the leader of Liuying Pavilion. I believe he will be very interested."

"Then I'll start writing a letter to him later."

After making the arrangements, Wen Rui once again turned the topic to the beauty from the Western Regions, "Second brother, is she the spy sent from the Western Regions?"

Knowing what Wen Rui was worried about, Wen Jingxuan said calmly, "Indeed, but I had someone brainwash her. For a blank piece of paper, she will be whatever you say. Of course, just in case, it's better for her to be deaf."

When saying this, Wen Jingxuan's face was calm, as if he was just discussing what to eat later, but every word revealed cruelty.

"Since they are spies from the Western Regions, they must have a contact person. Why don't you take this opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop, second brother?"

"You are too impatient, Third Brother. This is fun only if we take our time. It's just a few hiding mice."

On the other side, Nangong Ye soon received a letter.

You stood aside and read the contents of the letter. It would be a lie to say he was not surprised, but how could the Third Prince know the Master of Liuying Pavilion?

"Master, I don't think this is credible. It doesn't seem like something the Third Prince would think of."

"You're right, it's indeed not Wen Rui, but the Second Prince Wen Jingxuan," Nangong Ye tapped the table with his fingers when he said this. His impression of Wen Jingxuan still remained on that incident. After all, it was too profound.

You frowned and continued, "But isn't the Second Prince just a romantic prince? Why would he think about these things?"

"That's not an ordinary romantic prince. Wen Jingxuan is not a simple person. He can get rid of the people he hates without taking action himself. He drove the prince to the border in the name of the emperor, under the pretext of training the prince's will and consolidating the people's hearts."

"Don't be fooled by him. Wen Jingxuan is the most perverted of all perverts!"

Lu Tingxuan pushed open the study door and strode over. He didn't think there was anything wrong. He looked at the two of them mysteriously and said, "Guess what I found out?"

"what?"

"Of course it's about that pervert Wen Jingxuan. We sent a spy to the Western Regions, but he never came back. We don't know what method the pervert used, but the spy seemed to have become a different person, and he obeyed everything the pervert said."

As Lu Tingxuan spoke, he found a seat and sat down, crossing his legs like a big boss.

Nangong Ye frowned deeply, it seemed that he still used that method.

"Then master, do we need to write him a reply?" You said as he looked at Nangong Ye who was lost in thought.

"Of course I have to go back. Tell them we'll see you in Penang in seven days."

"Yes, master," You said, turned around and walked out.

Lu Tingxuan sighed, "You said that the Emperor of Yuzhou is both civil and military, how could he have such weird sons? Those who should be scheming are not scheming, while those who shouldn't be scheming are full of scheming."

........

As for Situ Hongru, since he got the blueprints, he had no intention of visiting other places and went straight back home.

He went into the tool room and didn't come out for a whole day and a whole night.

Looking at the copper pot that had already taken shape on the table, Situ Hongru nodded with satisfaction. Seeing that the sun was already high in the sky outside, he realized belatedly that he had already stayed there for a day and a night.

Mrs. Situ was outside preparing to knock on the door to bring him breakfast in, but unexpectedly the door was opened from the inside.

Seeing Situ Hongru's haggard face, Mrs. Situ couldn't help but feel distressed. "At least you should come out for breakfast. You always overwork and don't even think of coming out to find something to eat."

"No, I have something to do outside, so I won't..."

Before Situ Hongru could finish, Madam Situ put the breakfast on the stone table in the yard, walked over and pulled his sleeve, her tone full of anger, "Day by day I almost treat you like an ancestor. Situ Hongru, I tell you, if you don't eat this bowl of porridge, I won't let you leave the gate of this yard."

"but I......"

"Eat!" Mrs. Situ glared at Situ Hongru fiercely until he picked up the bowl and started eating.

"Situ Hongru, you are already an adult, but you have to be yelled at by me before you eat. Fortunately, Tian'er and Bo'er were brought up by me, so I don't have to worry so much."

Situ Hongru dared not refute a word, so he had to lower his head and finish the porridge in the bowl obediently.

"Madam, I'm done eating. I'll leave first." Situ Hongru put the empty bowl back on the table, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Go, go," Mrs. Situ waved her hand helplessly. Before she could react, Situ Hongru, who was sitting, rushed out of the courtyard gate in one step.

Unexpectedly, not long after he went out, Situ Hongru rushed back and went into the tool room to tinker with it for a while.

When he came out again, he had a sack in his hand. No one knew what was in it. He rushed out of the yard again.

Mrs. Situ was amused and speechless at the same time. "He really makes me worry, like a monkey."

Situ Hongru, who had just left the mansion, felt an itchy nose and couldn't help sneezing. He looked at the sun above his head. It wasn't cold today. Could it be that he caught a cold?

Never mind, never mind. The important thing is to find the princess as soon as possible. Thinking of this, he quickened his pace and walked towards the Xue Mansion.
