The prince is very cruel

This made Guan Ning even more embarrassed.

"Cough cough."

"Well, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's go and have dinner."

"So early?"

"Breakfast!"

"Brother Guan, I've used it. Oh, right, how about we go and have some fun tonight? I heard there's a rowing competition and a lantern festival over at West Lake, and there's also a Chrysanthemum Terrace in the city. It's going to be really lively."

"Not tonight, I have something to do."

"What's the matter, Brother Guan, how about taking me with you?"

"That won't work. You'd better stay with Jing'an Temple and do good deeds to build up your reputation. After a while, I will arrange for you to find a job at the Censorate."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Tu's eyes lit up and he was extremely excited.

"Brother Guan, the Censorate?" he exclaimed.

Guan Ning nodded: "That place is not as complicated as other places, and the Censorate is quite special. Generally, no one would mess with it. It would be a good place for you to go."

"But it's just an assistant job. If it's a position like the Censor, I don't have that ability." He laughed and teased, and it was hard to tell whether he was helping a friend or because he felt guilty towards Concubine Ya because of the accidental affair between husband and wife.

"The assistants are also from the Censorate. Many people have tried their best to squeeze in. The people in that place are so arrogant. They hold their noses high when they see everyone. If they can get in, my Chen family's ancestors' graves will be filled with smoke." Chen Tu was excited.

Then he suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "Well, Brother Guan, I really don't know how to thank you."

"Can this really work?" He asked with some anticipation.

"Of course, you have a good reputation now, so it won't be a problem for me to find someone to help you."

"Thanks, but that's not necessary." Guan Ning smiled.

Chen Tu was deeply moved when he heard this: "Brother Guan, if only my eldest sister had married you..."

boom!

Guan Ning covered his mouth with his hand, his face full of black lines: "What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Are you trying to kill me and your elder sister?"

Chen Tu then realized that he had said the wrong thing and smiled awkwardly: "Yes, yes, I have a stinky mouth, a stinky mouth."

Guan Ning smiled helplessly, thinking that according to ancient rules, he was really Chen Tu's brother-in-law.

"..."

At noon, nearly three hundred people in the family had a meal together. They slaughtered pigs and sheep without any stinginess, and each servant got a piece of meat, a pound of rice, and an ounce of salt to take home.

Even the entire Guan family's workers were given half a day off to allow them to go home and reunite with their families early.

As soon as this incident happened, many workers burst into tears and expressed their gratitude. The eight words "the Guan family is generous and the prince is kind" began to spread among the neighbors.

dusk.

Guan Ning left the house. In order not to make Qin Yao worry, he lied and said that he was going to the West Lake for boating. Qin Yao did not think much about it, but just told him not to go to those flower boats to visit prostitutes, saying that they were unclean.

At this moment, Qiankun Gate, one of the nine gates of the imperial palace, was already crowded with people. Civil and military officials, as well as prominent families, had lined up, waiting to enter the palace and attend the banquet.

In the huge open space, they were all dressed in gorgeous clothes, wearing gold and silver, and were extremely gorgeous, stretching as far as the eye could see.

The mysterious and ancient imperial palace is heavily guarded by troops, making it a daunting sight.

Soon, Guan Ning arrived!

"Prince, there are so many people here." Yu Dilong whispered. It was the first time he had seen such a scene. Anyone he picked up from the crowd was almost always a prominent figure.

Guan Ning glanced around and found Xiao Changhe, but he did not choose to go up to say hello or use his identity to enter the palace.

After all, the purpose of going in is to kill people, and he can't drag Xiao Changhe into it or let him have anything to do with these things.

"Go and have the others wait outside the palace and meet us there. You can go in with me this time."

Yu Dilong was shocked: "Prince, just two people?"

Guan Ning glanced at the heavily guarded imperial guards at the palace gate. Encased in iron armor, his eyes were almost emotionless. "It's easier to be discovered with fewer people, and we don't need that many to deal with a eunuch and a palace maid."

"If there's an accident, just let them set the fire outside and help us out."
