Helian Yu was excited, his eyes sparkling, hiding behind Chang Zuo, and whispered, "Follow them!"
Chang Zuo responded and followed the two of them.
Helian Mo and Ning Shuyu in front were both dressed in ordinary clothes, without any valuables on them. The most expensive thing was probably their wallets.
Probably because he didn't want to be recognized.
However, the two were obviously worrying too much.
Helian Mo's face and height are very recognizable, especially when he first returned to the capital, all the officials and people came to greet him, and no one could fail to recognize him.
"Third Prince, are you going out with Miss Ning Liu? You are such a perfect match!"
"Greetings to His Majesty the Third Prince, Hello, Miss Ning Liu!"
"Hello, Third Prince! Miss Ning Liu is a perfect match for you!"
Helian Mo's face was so dark that it was hard to tell that he was sullen. The originally planned meeting was messed up by a group of people.
Xu Ling stepped forward with a faint smile and bowed, "Third Prince, my master has prepared a private room upstairs for you. Please take a seat."
"Is your master available? I want to see him."
Helian Mo wanted to try to arrange with the owner of Shangyang Tower to light lanterns throughout the building to give his Miss Ning Liu some romance.
"Ling'er will go and ask later, please wait for a moment, Your Highness." Xu Ling called the girl from the main building and whispered, "Take Your Highness and Miss Ning Liu to Lanxin Yaju. I'll go and ask the master something."
Helian Mo took Ning Shuyu upstairs with him.
Helian Yu and Chang Zuo could no longer keep up and were just about to find a table to sit down when Miss Hong from Shangyang Tower came gracefully over.
"Miss, there is a private room for you upstairs. Would you like to take a seat?"
"Sit, sit, sit!"
Helian Yu pushed Chang Zuo's body and said, "Let's go!"
Miss Hong followed beside him and led the way: "Miss, would you like some cakes? We have invited several Jinling cake chefs to the building, who specialize in Jinling cakes."
"What a coincidence." Helian Yu leaned on the left shoulder of the master, his round black eyes gleaming with brilliance, "Make more, and prepare a food box, and bring it to Master to taste when you leave!"
The red girl nodded slightly: "I understand."
"I'm too good to Master!" Helian Yu touched his chin, "Brother Chang Zuo, why do you think Master is angry with me? Isn't he too ungrateful?"
Chang Zuo: “Maybe.”
Young master, you have such a disciple, but you don't even kick him out. You are so kind-hearted!
How could he not have such a good master? After entering the private room, Helian Yu looked out the window. Downstairs, there were clusters of flowers, singing birds and dancing swallows, and a prosperous and beautiful scene.
"Miss, do you need me to stay and serve you?" Miss Hong poured some hot goat milk soup and looked at Helian Yu and asked.
"No need for that. Just pick out a few nice-looking food boxes and a few plates of beautiful pastries and bring them up together."
Helian Yu thought that her gift showed some thoughtfulness. Although the pastries were not made by her, she was the one who chose the food box and arranged the dish. How could it not be considered a thoughtful gesture?
Miss Hong agreed and left, and soon brought the things up.
Helian Yu was concentrating on arranging the dishes, while Chang Zuo was concentrating on polishing the sword.
Inside the Lanxinya Residence.
A veil blocks the view, and beyond the veil, there are female musicians playing the zither and graceful singing girls. It is a feast for both sight and sound, accompanied by delicious food and fine wines. It is truly a joy in the world.
Helian Mo and Ning Shuyu were in the main hall of the elegant room. They were talking in low voices and laughing from time to time. The atmosphere was harmonious and joyful.
There was a knock on the door.
Helian Mo had been away from Beijing for many years and had no idea about the power in the capital, nor did he want to make friends with them. But this time, for the sake of his Miss Ning Liu, he wanted to try to negotiate it out.
"Please come in."
Helian Mo had a request to make to Han Xingzhi, so he stood up to greet him, and Ning Shuyu followed suit.
Han Xingzhi bowed and said, "I, Han Xingzhi, pay my respects to His Majesty the Third Prince."
"Mr. Han, there is no need to be so polite."
Helian Mo invited Han Xingzhi to sit down: "I returned to Beijing a few days ago and heard that the lanterns on February night were really magnificent."
"Princess Zhaoyang is returning to the capital for the first time, so we should celebrate." Han Xingzhi was polite, but he also pointed out the reason. "What's more, Princess Zhaoyang is a disciple of the Imperial Master's Mansion. Even if it's just to light lanterns for a month, Shangyang Tower can still do it."
Ning Shuyu was surprised and looked up at Han Xingzhi.
Helian Mo knew about this relationship, but he was not very clear about the relationship between Shangyang Tower and the National Master's Mansion.
Now that he understood, he had no other doubts.
"Master Han, after I asked for the imperial decree to grant her marriage a few days ago, I have always wanted to light a lantern for Miss Ning Liu, so that she would not be looked down upon by others. Is it convenient for you, Master Han?"
Han Xingzhi smiled and said, "Your Highness loves your wife sincerely, so I cannot destroy it. Your Highness, have you chosen a date? I can also ask people to prepare the lanterns."
"April third." Helian Mo stared at Ning Shuyu until she blushed.
The third day of April is Ning Shuyu's birthday, and his meaning is self-evident.
Since Helian Mo dared to point out that this was a birthday gift, there must be other birthday gifts. Although he is a military general, he is not boring.
The two were so affectionate that Han Xingzhi felt jealous. He said a few words and left the box.
As soon as he left the box, Miss Hong came over in a hurry: "Master, the young lady went downstairs to provoke the dandy young master and insisted on snatching the girl from him!"
Han Xingzhi: “…”
"Master, I have tried to persuade him but he didn't stop. What should I do?"
Han Xingzhi took a deep breath and said, "Whose dude is this? Let's see if we can just throw him out."
"He is from the family of Zheng Xuan. He has seven daughters and only has this one son. He dotes on him very much."
"No matter how much you spoil someone, you have to throw them away."
Miss Hong nodded and went downstairs. Han Xingzhi thought for a moment and followed her downstairs.
The lobby downstairs is square in shape, with a round stage in the middle where singers and dancers perform. Apart from the staircases that lead in all directions, there are tables and chairs on three sides, making it just the right amount of not too crowded.
At this time, the guests outside were sitting in their seats and leaning on the stairs, watching the fun.
"Do you know who I am? Who is my father?" Young Master Zheng was so angry that his face turned red. He threatened Helian Yu loudly, "Whose child are you? Who is your father?"
"Why don't you ask who my mother is?" Helian Yu sat on the table, swinging his legs. "Have you ever thought that my father might be a gigolo or a son-in-law?"
Han Xing was walking down the stairs and nearly slipped and fell. Fortunately, Miss Hong caught him in time.
Young Master Zheng's anger suddenly stopped. In order to regain his momentum, he shouted again: "Who is your mother? I want to see who she is!"
Helian Yu was still swinging his legs, looking relaxed. "What does it have to do with you? Did your parents agree to your debauchery? Oh my, your parents dote on their child so much?"
"You-you are talking nonsense!" Young Master Zheng didn't dare to discredit his own father, "My father didn't allow it! Besides, this young master is exchanging calligraphy with Miss Momo, you little brat have no right to interfere!"
"I also want to exchange calligraphy with Miss Momo." Helian Yu said confidently, swinging the banknotes in his hand, "I have money!"
