Wait a minute, heroine

After leaving the palace, Ye Jingtang had breakfast on the street and then returned to Dyefang Street.

Leading the horse into the courtyard, I looked up and saw white birds squatting on the steps. There were a bunch of small wooden boxes in front of me, which contained dried meat, dried fish, etc.

Seeing him come back, Niaoniao politely gestured for snacks with his wings:

"Ji~"

I guess it means "Would you like some?"

"Who bought it for you?"

"Chi chi chi..."

The bird spread its wings and gestured to the big-breasted sister.

With such a big incident happening yesterday, Sanniang must have heard about it, so it makes sense for her to come and visit.

There was no trace of Sanniang in the courtyard. It seemed that she was guessing that he would not be back for a short time after staying in the palace and had already returned to Tianshui Bridge.

He came to the steps, jumped up, and took out the "Singing Dragon Picture" that Niaoniao had hidden from the birdhouse under the eaves.

Luo Ning and Zhe Yunli were not at home, and it was really boring to live alone. After Ye Jingtang watered the flowers and plants planted by Luo Ning, he carried the birds and prepared to go to Tianshui Bridge to report to Sanniang that they were safe.

But what he didn't expect was that before he walked out of Dyefang Street, a fast horse came running from the street, with a black policeman sitting on it. He turned over and dismounted:

"Young Master Ye, Prince Jing would like you to come over."

Ye Jingtang had just returned from the palace, and his heart sank when he heard these words - Could it be that Prince Jing found out that Mr. Jiao who had hidden martial arts secrets was lost, and asked him to go over and question him?

Ye Jingtang was indeed justified, so he got on his horse again without any delay and returned to Mingyu Tower.

This time, he did not go through the back door of the Hei Yamen. The police led him directly to the main street of the Wangfu. There were imperial guards stationed along the street. It was even more dense outside the gate of the Wangfu. Not only were there many maids, but also Dongfang Liren, who was dressed in a silver python suit. Standing at the foot of the steps and looking up.

When Ye Jingtang saw it from a distance, he quickly got off his horse and walked to the majestic gate of the palace:

"Greetings to His Highness. Your Highness can just be greeted by someone, so why bother going out to greet him in person?"

With a smile on his face, Dongfang Liren waited for Ye Jingtang to arrive and walked side by side into the palace:

"Don't talk about these official words. Yesterday you sacrificed your life to save me. I wanted to wait for you to wake up and say thank you in person, but someone came to the court just now, so I can only let you go back first. Don't worry too much."

Ye Jingtang knew that someone had come to the palace just now, and thought that Miss Yuhu was a snitch. Without waiting for Prince Jing to ask questions, he directly confessed the crime himself:

"It's offensive to say that. I woke up just now and wandered around Mingyu Tower. I found a rosewood box on the bookshelf, which contained... eh?"

Before Ye Jingtang could finish his words, he suddenly noticed the aloof and noble Dongfang Benben. He suddenly stopped in his tracks, then turned around and grabbed his collar with his hands. His eyes were full of anger and his eyebrows were raised!

The surrounding maids quickly bowed their heads, and the birds shrank their necks!

Ye Jingtang was a little confused, raised his hands and explained:

"If you haven't lost anything, I'll throw it into the lake... eh!"

Boom——

A soft sound.

Dongfang Liren, the fat-headed dragon, was almost furious. He pressed Ye Jingtang against the dragon screen wall and gritted his teeth:

"So it was you who threw it?!"

Ye Jingtang felt that Dongfang Liren was not as angry as usual, so he raised his hand to signal:

"Yes... um... broke?"

Dongfang Liren said that he and his sister had been explaining for a long time why she looked like "How dare you lie to me". It turns out that this is the problem!

"you……"

Dongfang Liren was almost cheated to death, and he wished he could beat Ye Jingtang.

But thinking about risking his life to save her yesterday, I couldn't say harsh words. After gritting my teeth for a moment, I still let go of my hand and regained the calm demeanor that the Queen should have:

"Why did you throw it away? Was it seen?"

"There was a palace maid just now who came to pay homage to Prince Jing. I almost bumped into her. I was afraid that this thing would be discovered and cause His Highness to be misunderstood by the palace, so I lost it. Is the matter serious?"

maid...

Dongfang Liren immediately understood the meaning - her sister had already seen Ye Jingtang, so she had been asking her about her lover just now.

Judging from Ye Jingtang's appearance, she probably doesn't know her sister's identity...

Dongfang Liren breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not serious. I just found dirty things thrown into the lake when I was wandering around. It was unbecoming. Did that palace maid see you?"

Ye Jingtang knew what Prince Jing was worried about and explained:

"They are just asking who I am. I am afraid of being misunderstood by the palace. I have to explain my origin and why I appear in Mingyu Tower clearly. Your Highness does not need to worry."

Seeing this, Dongfang Liren nodded, his expression returned to its original state, and he asked with concern:

"Are you feeling better?"

"It's okay now."

"That's good……"

Dongfang Liren remembered Mrs. Wang's medical advice, thought about it for a while, and then asked casually:

"You are handsome, good at martial arts, and have a chivalrous heart. There should be many ladies pursuing you, right?"

"There are quite a lot of them. In the past, in Liangzhou, matchmakers would come to marry someone when they were thirteen or fourteen years old, and some tough young ladies from wealthy families would come to rob someone."

Dongfang Liren did not doubt this and said curiously:

"So you have many old acquaintances?"

Night Terror Hall promised Luo Nuxia and responded:

"Your Highness is joking, I only have one lover, and he is not in the capital right now."

There is only one special person...

When Dongfang Liren heard this, he did not doubt it, because Mrs. Wang said that Ye Jingtang must be clean this year and have not been in contact with women...

But he has to come into contact with women, and he has to come into contact with several women, otherwise he will be overwhelmed...

Dongfang Liren hesitated slightly and said tactfully:

"You didn't think about finding a few more?"

"grumble?!"

Not only did these words scare the night, but even the birds felt something was wrong.

Ye Jingtang blinked, feeling a little overwhelmed by the hot queen:

"Your Highness, this...um..."

Dongfang Liren realized that these words made Ye Jingtang think wrong, and he was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he explained:

"It's just a joke. I thought you were quite lustful, but I didn't expect you to be a man in love...

"hehe……"

Ye Jingtang couldn't figure out what Prince Jing meant, so it was really hard for him to answer the question randomly.

While chatting, the two walked through the corridor and came to a waterside pavilion by the Koi Lake.

The water pavilion is quite elegantly decorated, with colorful flowers outside, a beaded curtain facing the lake, and colorful dancers playing music on the stage across the lake.

There is a long table in the waterside pavilion, and various delicacies from the mountains and seas have been served, dozens of them, and several jars of old wine are also placed on the table.

The 'Ruthless Dry Rice Chicken' walking in front of the two people's eyes lit up when he saw this scene. However, in front of outsiders, he still had to restrain himself and just watched eagerly instead of flying directly over.

Dongfang Liren sits elegantly behind the long desk. His tall figure is matched with a gorgeous python robe. His posture is gorgeous and majestic. His bulging skirt can be placed on the desk as long as he leans forward slightly. His shoulders to waist and hips are drawn A flawless and seductive arc, just like a picture of a lady carefully sketched by a famous artist.

Ye Jingtang sat upright, not looking around, but his eyes were trained on the very familiar Niao Niao.

Dongfang Liren picked up the wine glass, raised his hand slightly and saluted:

"You have done a good job in escorting me this time. What reward do you want?"

Ye Jingtang raised his wine glass and responded, taking advantage of the situation and said:

"I have already learned the "Tianhe Sword", and I used it to fight against the enemy yesterday. I and Qiu Tianhe can be regarded as having learned from each other..."

Dongfang Liren understood the meaning and said cheerfully:

"I will keep my word. Your matter has been taken care of. I will not embarrass you. However, it is not possible to let him go today. Blood Bodhi has not yet been brought to justice. There is martial law inside and outside the capital. If Qiu Tianhe is rashly released from the dungeon, the people in the yamen will be easily distracted. After two days, King Tianben will make arrangements, so you don’t have to worry.”

Ye Jingtang was very calm. Seeing Prince Jing so happy, he said again:

"Then "Dragon Slaying Order"..."

Dongfang Liren blinked his eyes and put on a serious look:

"It was originally agreed that you would use a set of sword skills to exchange dragon-slaying orders with me. Have you learned the Tianhe Sword?"

Ye Jingtang was stunned and thought to himself: You are clumsy and can't learn, but you still have the nerve to question me confidently?

But this must not be said. Ye Jingtang nodded helplessly:

"I will definitely study the training method seriously and teach the Tianhe Sword to His Highness as soon as possible."

Dongfang Liren nodded slightly, and after drinking two glasses of wine, he suddenly remembered that Ye Jingtang was about to go out, but the Holy Lord had just called on Ye Jingtang to inspect the palace...

"Night Terror Hall, you said you wanted to help the family handle business, are you anxious?"

Ye Jingtang was afraid that Prince Jing would stay and ruin things at Honghua Tower, so he could only say:

"The time has been set, but it's a bit urgent... His Highness has arrangements."

Dongfang Liren sighed: "Blood Bodhi has not yet been brought to justice. If there is trouble in the palace, I will be impeached by the court officials. I originally wanted you to help me and go to the imperial city for two days. If you are in an emergency, forget it."

Going on duty in the Imperial City?

I don’t seem to be in a hurry anymore…

Ye Jingtang really didn't expect that happiness could come so suddenly. Seeing that Dongfang Liren was about to give up the arrangement, he responded:

"It is an honor for me to serve His Highness. Well... there is indeed an emergency at home, but today and tomorrow, I will be on patrol in the palace, so there is no conflict in time."

Dongfang Liren nodded slightly, thinking of Mrs. Wang's 'doctor's advice', and felt that it would be impossible not to say it, so he said tactfully:

"When you go on a pilgrimage as a daughter, there are no concubines in the harem, and there are not many taboos for men to enter. During your inspection, if you fall in love with the palace maid you like, you can openly tell me that you have done a good job in protecting her, and I will give you a gift. It’s natural for a few people around me to serve tea and water.”

Ye Jingtang thought about it for a while and felt that these words were a test for him, so he spoke righteously;

"Your Highness is joking. Even if I need someone to serve me tea and water, why would I go to the Imperial City to look for him? When will I start patrolling the Imperial City?"

Dongfang Liren drank a few glasses of wine, his cheeks were stained with a blush, and he looked at the Night Terror Hall:

"Drinking with me is boring, are you in a hurry to leave?"

"Your Highness is serious. I'm afraid that I'll miss the real deal if I drink too much."

When Dongfang Liren saw Ye Jingtang's gentlemanly appearance, who was "well-spoken and unmoved in the presence of beauties and wine," he couldn't help but sigh:

"He is indeed a gentleman, but I don't know what kind of woman his lover is..."

Dongfang Liren took out a waist card and threw it to Ye Jingtang:

"No one knows whether the rebels will disturb Miyagi. The sooner the inspection is carried out, the better. Take my king's sign and go to Shang Jianli. He will tell you what to pay attention to."

Ye Jingtang took the belt card, stood up, bowed his hands and said goodbye.

Niaoniao followed him step by step, turning back three times. Before going out, he even waved his wings:

"Ji~"

Goodbye, fat-headed dragon sister.

Dongfang Liren smiled, raised his hand and shook it, and responded:

"grumble!"

After one person and one bird walked out of the waterside pavilion, Dongfangli sighed quietly, with a complicated look on his eyebrows...
