The King's Mansion

After the prince left, Lin Yiran and Xia Zongze returned to the inner courtyard. The two of them were half lying on the couch to rest. After raising their spirits for a while, she asked, "Did I say the wrong thing just now? Your elder brother seems unhappy?"

Xia Zongze shook his head, "It's not your business."

“That’s…”

Xia Zongze hugged Lin Yiran and put his forehead on top of her head, "Brother's life is not easy."

Lin Yiran wanted to look up at Xia Zongze, but this guy pressed against his head, making him unable to move, so he had to lie in his arms and wait for him to talk about the prince.

But this guy doesn’t seem to say anything about the prince. Well, if you don’t say it, just don’t say it. Wouldn’t it be better if you have the skill to sleep and rest assured!

Xia Zongze didn't know what he was thinking. When he wanted to speak, he found that his little wife was asleep. He shook his head in a doting way, gently moved his arm, gently put her down, and covered her with a thin blanket. Before he went out, he kissed her forehead before leaving.

Xia Zongze went to the study and was about to fight east in five days. There were too many things to prepare, so he had to get busy.

When Su Xiaolan saw Xia Zongze out of the room, she came into the room and helped Lin Yiran to clean up the thin blanket on her body again. She looked at the room and felt that there was no problem. She left the room and sat at the door, waiting for Lin Yiran to wake up while doing needlework.

Prince's Mansion

Prince Ning and his daughter entered the Princess' room together. She happened to wake up and opened her eyes. She did not find her daughter disguised as a man. "You are back!"

"Yes!" Prince Ning sat next to the princess and asked softly, "How do you feel today?"

"Old look!"

Prince Ning lowered his eyes and reached out to tuck the quilt beside her.

The princess felt that Prince Ning was in a bad mood, but she was unable to comfort him and please him, and turned her head tiredly into the bed.

Xia Baoyi kept waiting for her mother to find out that she was dressed up, but her mother never looked at her. She was so anxious that she almost stamped her feet. Seeing her mother turn her head into the bed, she shouted anxiously, "Mother, you only have a father and no daughter in your eyes!"

"..." The Crown Princess turned her head in surprise, "Baoer..."

"Mother's Mother--" Xia Baoyi walked to the bed aggrievedly, "Mother's Mother, you only have a father and no children in your eyes!"

The Crown Princess took out her arm with difficulty, reached out to her daughter, and smiled and said, "Yes, the mother's eyes are only your father!" It was meaningful, but it was not possible for Prince Ning to raise her eyelids.

"Mother..." Xia Baoyi pouted her mouth angrily.

The princess, who couldn't feel Prince Ning's mood changes, looked at her daughter's clothes with interest, "Zicheng, Baoer is..."

Prince Ning finally raised his eyelids and replied, "Baoer and I went to the Ministry of Justice with me today."

"You took her to the yamen?" The Crown Princess raised her head in shock.

Prince Ning instantly understood what his wife had thought of, shook her head, "Don't think about it, it's impossible."

"That's..." She felt relieved when she heard Prince Ning's words and asked.

Prince Ning replied: "Baoer wants to see Zitao's wife and take her over to see."

The princess asked in surprise: "Is my sister-in-law the same as Baoer?"

Prince Ning nodded, "Yes!"

Speaking of this, Xia Baoyi shouted happily, "Mother, you don't know, Aunt San does things like a man."

The princess looked at the prince, "The third brother agrees?"

Prince Ning replied, "That's how the two of them met."

"Oh..." The Crown Princess understood, "He is really a hero among women."

Xia Baoyi smiled and said, "Yes, Mother, the officials under Uncle San's men would discuss with Aunt San's regards if they have anything to do."

"How do you know?"

"When they discussed, Aunt San took me by her side and asked me to listen." Xia Baoyi replied proudly.

The princess looked at the prince again.

Prince Ning stood up from the bed and said, "You two mothers and mothers talk, I still have some things to deal with."

Xia Baoyi said, "Father, go and do your business, I will accompany my mother!"

Prince Ning's cold face eased a little because of his daughter's words. He reached out and touched her head, and smiled and said, "Then I'll bother you, Princess Baoer."

"Daughter respectfully sends you to your father!"

His Royal Highness nodded and looked at the Princess lying on the bed, and turned around and left the room.

The Crown Princess looked at his back all the way until she couldn't see it after leaving the door.

The eight-year-old Xia Baoyi didn't understand the emotions between adults. She sat next to the princess and talked about her experience of the day with a small mouth. From going out in the morning to meeting the princes of various families with the princes, and then to the Ning Prince's Mansion... As long as she sees her, she is interested in and remembers everything she can say. Finally, she sighed: "Mother, it's great to be a man. You can go out, go into the yamen, and deal with men. It's free and free, it's great!"

The Crown Princess also sighed: "Yes, the mother often thinks, it would be great if she was a man."

Xia Baoyi said: "Mother, since we are not men, we can be as free as Aunt San, dressed as a man."

The Crown Princess shook her head, "Impossible."

"Why, Mother? But Aunt Third!" Xia Baoyi asked in confusion.

The Crown Princess shook her head again: "If your father doesn't let you go out today, can you go out?"

Although she was only eight years old, Xia Baoyi still understood the words of the Princess, "I understand. The third aunt is spoiled by the third uncle, so she can be free."

"My son, it's hard for you to understand." The Crown Princess felt sad. Is it better or not to be sensible?

Xia Baoyi pouted and said, "Mother, why is it so difficult for our daughter to go out for a trip to the house?"

"Mother's mother doesn't understand why it's so difficult to be a woman." The Crown Princess sighed long, her eyes were covered in gray.

The fourth prince Xia Zongqi was always worried that the prince would make trouble for him, so he stayed in his mansion and did not dare to move. Until the grass beside the nest was chewed by him, he couldn't help but go out and went to the most prosperous Yixiang Pavilion. The one who accompanied him was Ye Shangxun's son Ye Da.

When they arrived at Yixiang Pavilion, they found that it was not as lively as before. It was really strange. They asked Xiang Madam: "Mom, what's going on? Could it be that the girls here are not good?"

The madam hurriedly denied: "Your Majesty, there is nothing to do. The girl here in my family is definitely the best in Kyoto, no, the best in Daning Country."

"Then why is it deserted?" Xia Zongqi asked in confusion.

The madam turned her head unhappily: "It's not just recruiting soldiers."

"Recruiting troops?"

The madam shouted, "Fourth Prince, you won't tell me that you don't know about the prince and the third prince recruiting soldiers, right?"

"Go to you, why didn't I know? I just don't believe it and want you to talk too much!"

Xia Zongqi, who was drunk and dreaming, really didn't know that the past few days he had been in the mansion, the world outside had changed. It's not an exaggeration to describe it as "white clouds and cage dogs". Unfortunately, he lay on a woman, like a deaf and blind man, and knew nothing.

"Yes...yes..., I spit on you, you should beat me, you should beat me..." The madam dared to offend a prince, so she quickly took the blame.

Xia Zongqi raised his legs like a grandpa: "Hurry up and choose a few cute girls for me."

"Yes, yes, I'll go right away."

The madam shook her handkerchief and made an arrangement. Xia Zongqi glared at Ye Da, "Why don't you tell me!"

"Cousin, I thought your staff told you."

Hearing this, Xia Zongqi felt guilty. He had been fooling around in the backyard these days. His aides and subordinates had come to find him, but they were blocked by him. It turned out that it was because of this. His jealousy immediately arose and he touched his smooth chin.

"Prince..." The madam saw the fourth prince in a daze and called out softly.

Xia Zongqi looked up at the prostitute, squinted her eyes, played first, and then talked about it after playing with the woman, and then immediately smiled and said, "That's it..."

The madam shook her handkerchief and smiled, "Prince, this is already the top brand here. Look at this figure, look at this little face, isn't that beautiful?"

"What's the point?" Xia Zongqi touched his chin.

The madam narrowed her eyes and immediately understood what it meant. She waved her hand and the girls and idle people around her went out. Then, she said to the fourth prince, "Prince, what you said are missing, when we leave, we will have it."

"real?"

"certainly!"

Ye Da didn't want to leave, so he sat next to Xia Zongqi without moving. He turned his head and looked at it. His eyes met Xia Zongqi's gaze and was scrambled hard. He had to get up and bow and follow the madam out of the room.

When Xia Zongqi and the prostitute were left in the room, the prostitute smiled at him with charm and began to dance. His little waist and charming eyes... could hook his soul out, and it was indeed stronger than his girls. The prostitute whose waist was swinging like a willow and began to take off his clothes after throwing his charming eyes, one by one... so that his eyes almost fell out, "Little fairy, come over quickly and let me touch..."

The prostitute did not go over immediately. After waiting naked, he swayed and jumped a few more soul-catching movements before approaching him, grinding and grinding... made the man unable to stop!

The anxious Xia Zongqi came up and overwhelmed the other party. The prostitute smiled and said, "Prince, let's have something different today."

"That's what it means..." Before Xia Zongqi finished speaking, the prostitute's head was buried in his praising room, "Ah..." The sound of the soul quickly spread throughout the room.

Prince's Study Room

The man in black stood in front of the prince's desk and replied, "The youngest son of the Ye family brought the four kings to Yixianglou, and it has been more than an hour."

Prince Ning asked, "Ye Zhenxun hasn't come back yet?"

The chief replied: "When you go back to the crown prince, Lord Ye may stay in Wu, or may be captured by the people of Wu and become a prisoner."

Prince Ning asked, "Do you think that possibility is high?"

"Back to the prince, the second possibility is high."

Prince Ning sneered: "My life and death are uncertain, but my son is still interested in visiting prostitutes. The Ye family is really very enthusiastic."

"Your Highness, those four..."
