[Rebirth] After Ten Years of Marriage, Fall in Love Again

.

The two assassins haven't opened their mouths to identify who is behind the scenes, probably because this is Dacheng, and the third prince is not easy to act now.

After listening to Yuan Lingxiu's detailed description of that day, combined with what he had heard all along, the third prince, Shangguan Qingyun, was also a man with all-hands and eyes, so it was difficult for Shen Jieran to guess why the hidden guards around him didn't follow on the day of Qiu Lie.

Perhaps it was Shangguan Qingmu who was acting as a hindrance, and somehow used some means to transfer Shangguan Qingyun's hidden guard away.

Perhaps it was Shangguan Qingyun who discovered the trickiness and wanted to take advantage of it, and it is unknown if he deliberately transferred the hidden guard away.

But no matter what, he can be sure that Shangguan Qingyun's trip was worthwhile, and I am afraid that the two assassins have been secretly transported back to Ling country at this moment.

"By the way, you can bring all your things here this afternoon, Axiu." Shen Jieran lazily stretched his waist.

Yuan Lingxiu thought for a while, then hesitated and said, "There's no need to move here, anyway, it's not far away, I can go back and get what I need..."

"Ah Xiu?" Shen Jieran looked at him in surprise, "You don't want to live with me?"

Yuan Lingxiu was silent.In his heart, he really didn't want to completely move here to live with Shen Jieran.

Looking at Yuan Lingxiu who bowed his head and was silent, Shen Jieran felt that he was like Shujiu Hantian being poured with a bucket of cold water, and he didn't know whether it was loss or disappointment.The relationship between him and Yuan Lingxiu has improved by leaps and bounds, and he wants to hug and kiss him all the time, wishing to integrate this person into his body, but Yuan Lingxiu doesn't seem to think of him that way.

He is still bored by himself and won't tell himself what's going on, and the situation is even worse now.

Originally, I thought that the two of them were inseparable day and night, but they were already living together. Yuan Lingxiu would never refuse to move in this time.

...Thinking about it carefully, he has expressed his love to Yuan Lingxiu countless times, but he has never received a response.

Shen Jieran found that his old habit of blind optimism was repeated.In fact, he never knew what Yuan Lingxiu was thinking.

He stared at him for a long time, suddenly a little angry and a little sad.In the end, he just said "forget it" and raised his legs and strode out of the yard.

22. Chapter 21 Discovery

Shen Jieran didn't go home at night.

Today is the day when Chang Ji Zerong was promoted to the Minister of War to treat guests to dinner.

Originally, Chang Jize didn't care much about this official position, and it's not good to show off and publicize this matter too much, but which one of the children in Beijing is not delicious and fun, and there is always a rule among them that anyone who becomes an official should treat them regardless of their size The unwritten rules of eating.

So Chang Jize had no choice but to handle this situation.

But his third-rank official position is too special, and it is quite different from the previous situation.

After all, the higher he climbed, the more painful the fall would be. If he won a small official of around the seventh rank, no matter how much he celebrated, no boring people would stand up and challenge him.

But if the current situation is too publicized, I am afraid that it will come true.You must know that every move of a senior official above the third rank is watched by someone, and he, the Minister of the Ministry of War who appeared out of nowhere, naturally became the best target for those admonishing officials.

Because of this, Chang Jize was really worried for two days.He is also too upright and usually has no heart. When he took the official position and went to the palace to meet the emperor, he accidentally revealed this matter.

Emperor Xuanwen was a very fun-loving person in essence, and judging from the fact that he only favored the third prince, he probably liked such a person very much.

In short, for some reason, Chang Jize was inexplicably favored by the emperor, and he was allowed to hold a grand celebration banquet this time.

With the support of the emperor, Chang Jize had the guts to let go, and simply booked the second floor of the Tibetan Fragrance Pavilion on this day.As for the unreliable suggestion that everyone go to the Zixiang Pavilion next door, Chang Jize dared not.

Although Zixiang Pavilion is only one word away from Zangxiang Pavilion, and the distance is not far away, it is an out-and-out brothel.Although Dacheng could not help opening a brothel due to the enlightened folk customs, none of the officials or the children of Beijing and China had dared to enter it blatantly.

The Chang family's family education is extremely strict, and Chang Jize has never gone in to see it.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that my good friend Shen Jieran never gave a damn about that kind of place.

Today's Zangxiang Pavilion is much more lively than in the past, and many officials and eunuchs from central Beijing have come regardless of whether they are familiar with each other.

Chang Jize was extremely busy, just dealing with those people who came to toast made him exhausted, but Shen Jieran was in a bad mood today, hiding in a corner alone drinking, and didn't say anything to help him out.

Shen Jieran has been the king of children among this group of people since he was a child, he is quite easy-going and doesn't have so many rules.But because of his good family background and his outstanding ability, he always has such an aura of calmness and prestige. He is obviously too lazy to talk to everyone at the moment, so no one goes to touch his bad luck.

Compared with him, Chang Jize was more "close to the people". Now that he was a little drunk, everyone was even more unscrupulous.

On the contrary, Zheng Bin stepped forward to block a lot of drinking for Chang Jize. Some people thought that Zheng Bin was too flattering, but now that he dared to stand up to block drinking for Chang Jize, the voices of dissatisfaction became even louder. .

After all, although Zheng Bin had more contact with Shen Jieran and Chang Jize than the others, in the eyes of others, he was just trying to please. How could he be qualified to drink for Chang Jize at this moment?

But Chang Jize didn't think about it that way, he even patted Zheng Bin gratefully, and said: "Good brother!"

There was noise and shouting on the second floor, it seemed that the first floor was much deserted, but there was still the sound of silk and bamboo.

In the corner of the main hall on the first floor, two men in fine clothes were sitting there drinking.

Their location is very unique, behind a screen, others will not notice that there is another table there until they get close.But the screen will not block the people at the table from watching the singing and dancing on the stage or seeing the situation upstairs.

"This Chang Jize is really interesting, no wonder Father likes him." said the handsome nobleman in navy blue dress with thick eyebrows and big eyes.This person is the third prince Fu Huaidao.

The one sitting next to him, dressed in a dark blue dress, with delicate features, and a pair of peach blossom eyes that make this person too handsome is the Fourth Prince Fu Huaiyuan.

Fu Huaiyuan took a sip of his wine, just looked upstairs and didn't speak.

"This place is really not interesting, only you like it, fourth brother." Fu Huaidao yawned and stood up, and said, "I still decided to go shopping next door." The next door he was talking about was naturally the Zixiang Pavilion next door.

"Third Brother, please walk slowly." Fu Huaiyuan only glanced at him, and then turned his eyes from the second floor to the side performing folk art on the stage, regardless of whether Fu Huaidao left or not.

Fu Huaidao muttered something in a low voice, and walked out directly.

After Fu Huaidao left, Fu Huaiyuan suddenly turned his gaze back to the second floor and continued to pour himself wine.

Here, Shen Jieran poured himself a drink, he was a little drunk, and the noise around him made him feel a little annoyed, so he simply stood up and went downstairs to go out, wanting to be quiet and quiet.

After going out, I was hit by the cold wind, and immediately woke up.

He originally had a physique of never getting drunk for a thousand cups, other than pretending to be drunk, it was quite difficult to really want to be drunk.

However, if one is not intoxicated with wine, everyone is intoxicated, so he is still a little confused at the moment.

Standing at the gate for a long time, Shen Jieran was a little dazed.

Fortunately, it was already late at this time, no one came in and out at the gate, only occasionally one or two people passed by, and they were not surprised to see him. No one knew that the most drunks on this street at night.

"Master Shen, why are you in a daze here alone?"

A warm and special voice came from behind, Shen Jieran heard it familiar, but he couldn't think of whose voice it was.

At this moment, this person also came to his side, Shen Jieran raised his eyes, this is not the fourth prince but who is it?

"Caomin pays homage to the fourth prince."

Before he could salute, he was stopped by the other party, "There is no need to be polite in this kind of place."

The fourth prince, Fu Huaiyuan, was only one or two years younger than them. Everyone lived in the same capital. Although their identities were very different, they could meet any important events, so they were not unfamiliar.What's more, they also participated in the hunting competition together in the first two days.

Although Shen Jieran was not drunk at the moment, his mind was not sharp, so he ignored the red tape and asked directly: "The fourth prince is also coming to Chang Jize's celebration banquet?"

Chang Jize hadn't specially invited anyone before, but today almost all the children from Beijing who were similar in age and had some status came.

But if this matter were put on the prince, it would be a little unreasonable.First of all, Shen Jieran is very sure that Chang Jize did not invite the fourth prince, and secondly, even if he did, it would be very inappropriate for him to come to this kind of occasion as a prince--everyone is not related, so rashly coming here is likely to be punished. It is said that he secretly colluded with his courtiers.

Fu Huaiyuan smiled, with a somewhat refined look: "I was just out for activities with my third brother, I didn't know it was so lively here today." When he spoke, he didn't look at Shen Jieran, but kept staring inside through the gate look in one direction.

"In this case, the grass people will not bother His Highness." Shen Jieran clenched his fists at him and wanted to leave, but he couldn't figure out what the four princes were doing now.

What he was thinking in his not so clear mind was, since the fourth prince came out to play secretly and was not found, why did he show up, just to say a few words to himself?

At this time, Fu Huaiyuan turned his gaze back to Shen Jieran, "It's still early, is the young master going home?"

When Shen Jieran heard him talking about family, he felt
