Chapter 290: This palace is very popular!
Five days later.
Dafeng, Huailing Prefecture.
The administrative area of Daning was divided into "states", while that of Dafeng was divided into "prefectures".
There is actually not much difference between the two, they are just called differently. Whether it is "zhou" or "fu", it is equivalent to a province in the previous life.
It has been nearly ten days since they left Yuanzhou. Wei Changtian and his party have finally crossed the sparsely populated Gobi Desert, and the population is gradually becoming denser as they pass through.
"One against six."
"One against ten."
"A pair of inner guards."
"don't want."
"Three fives with one eight"
The sounds of fighting between demons could be heard one after another in the carriage. The cards were bought when they passed through a county town two days ago, and the people playing cards were of course Wei Changtian, Chu Xianping and You Jia.
As for Li Wutong, who was sitting in the corner with her eyes closed, ever since Wei Changtian's "outrageous words" that night, she had ignored the three of them, especially Wei Changtian, and could be said to be very indifferent.
Wei Changtian was too lazy to explore the reason and was even more happy with the quietness. He hadn't spoken a word to Li Wutong for two or three days.
"Shunzi, Master, I win again."
Placing a stack of cards on the small table, Chu Xianping, the "devil", had empty hands.
In the past few days of playing cards, Chu Xianping always won more than he lost. Just now he even won five games in a row, not giving his "master" Wei Changtian any face at all.
"No more fighting!"
After putting down the cards, Wei Changtian curled his lips and "admonished": "Brother Chu, playing cards is the same as being a person. You have to pay attention to personal relationships and social etiquette."
"Leave some space for us so that we can meet again in the future. You are so ruthless. Isn't that embarrassing for Miss You?"
"ah?"
You Jia was stunned for a moment, then she covered her mouth and laughed, "Sir, I clearly won two games just now."
"Well, that's what I mean."
Wei Changtian rubbed his nose and coughed awkwardly.
But Chu Xianping replied seriously at this time: "Sir, you and I are enemies in the card game."
"Since we are enemies, how can we be sociable?"
“.”
Why are you taking it so seriously?! Wei Changtian complained in his heart, but he couldn't refute Chu Xianping, so he just kept silent.
His eyes casually looked away and just happened to notice that Li Wutong couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of his mouth.
Well, it seems that Princess Wuping is finally feeling comfortable now.
An hour later.
"Da da, da da."
The sound of horse hooves gradually faded, and the hustle and bustle of the city outside the car became distant.
Several carriages slowly stopped in front of a large courtyard. Several men and women dressed in brocade and silk were already waiting in front of the door with their hands hanging down.
"Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Seeing Li Wutong getting off the carriage, a group of people immediately knelt on the ground.
"Master Zhang, Madam, please stand up quickly."
Li Wutong said "Please stand up quickly", but her expression was very calm. The majesty of the royal daughter was finally fully displayed at this moment.
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, everyone stood up. The man and woman in the lead turned their eyes to Wei Changtian, who got off the car right after Li Wutong, with some surprise in their eyes.
They knew that Li Wutong would bring a young man from a noble family in Da Ning back to Beijing from the front line, and they even went out of their way to learn about Wei Changtian's "glorious deeds".
But I didn't expect that this young master Wei would actually ride in the same carriage with the princess.
"Your Highness."
Seeing that Li Wutong had no intention of saying anything, the two did not dare to ask more questions and immediately bowed to make way for him: "This humble house is indeed shabby, I hope you and Master Wei will not despise it."
Humble house? Shabby? Looking at the main house with red railings and colorful doors, painted eaves and flying eaves in the middle of the gate, Wei Changtian thought it was too modest. At the same time, he followed Li Wutong, who suddenly became dignified, and walked into the courtyard.
"Sir Wang, this is Young Master Wei from the Wei family of Daning."
As they walked, Li Wutong, who had not spoken to Wei Changtian for several days, suddenly turned around and introduced: "Mr. Wei, this is the prefect of Huailing Prefecture, Wang Qixing, Lord Wang."
"Lord Wang."
Since Li Wutong had introduced him, Wei Changtian couldn't remain silent, so he smiled and said politely, "Sorry for bothering me this time."
"Master Wei, what are you talking about!"
Wang Qixing immediately responded with a cupped hand: "I have heard of your great name for a long time, and it is my great honor to meet you today!"
The prefect of Dafeng was equivalent to the governor of Daning, in charge of the government affairs of the prefecture and held the fourth rank.
Strictly speaking, such a high-ranking official has no need to call himself a "villain" in front of a young man from another country.
But Wang Qixing still said so.
On the one hand, this is definitely out of consideration for Li Wutong's face, and on the other hand it also shows that he should be that kind of old-fashioned official who is particularly good at "getting along with everyone".
As for whether Wei Changtian’s personal charm was involved, if Wang Qixing was a woman, then it would be possible.
"You are too polite, Lord Wang."
After another polite remark, Wei Changtian smiled and stepped over the threshold, then sat down in the main hall with everyone else.
Li Wutong naturally sat in the first seat, while Wei Changtian sat on the side facing east.
Although it is already dinner time, Wang Qixing must have already prepared dinner.
However, it would be too hasty to eat right after entering the door, so we should sit down and talk for a while and take a break.
Of course, there are many topics that cannot be discussed in this kind of situation, so most of the chatter is just nonsense.
Fortunately, Wang Qixing's experience was more than enough to handle such a situation, and the atmosphere was not dull at all.
Until Li Wutong suddenly seemed to remember something and asked with a smile: "By the way, Lord Wang, I wonder if Master Shen is still in Huailing now?"
“.”
The smile on his face suddenly froze for a moment, Wang Qixing lowered his head subconsciously, and then replied with a somewhat awkward look: "Princess, I'm here."
"Is he married now?"
“No, no.”
"Um."
Li Wutong looked at the bewildered Wei Changtian with a half-smile and said, "Sir Wang, since we happen to be in Huailing together, I would like to meet Master Shen."
“.”
Wang Qixing suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with surprise.
He was silent for a while, and then he confirmed in a low voice: "Princess, you mean..."
"Master Wang, you heard it right."
Li Wutong still had a smile on his face: "Just send someone to the Shen family and tell them what I said."
“Yes, yes.”
No matter how surprised he was, Wang Qixing could not disobey Li Wutong's orders.
He took a deep breath and said a few words to the housekeeper, who quickly left, and the atmosphere in the room became strange from that moment on.
Li Wutong who was quite complacent, Wang Qixing who looked embarrassed, and Wei Changtian who was completely confused.
By the way, who is this Mr. Shen?
Why did Wang Qixing react so strangely? Why did Li Wutong ask whether Mr. Shen was married? Also, what was with her smug expression? ? ?
Hiss! Could it be that there is only one chapter today? Don't wait any longer (End of this chapter)
