Fortune tellers give eggs, the stepmother is a Taoist boss

"One day we are far from the south and the next day we are moving to the north-west. We are also prosperous when we meet each other. Don't worry about defeating the evil. When we see Gui'an camp, everything will be auspicious..."

The Taoist attendant recited the good and bad luck of the nine stars in Hetuluo's book, his eyes were fixed on the sundial, and when the shadow of the pointer was in place, he quickly announced: "Your Highness, it is Ding Wei's hour."

Today is the day when Chi Xinsu is granted the title of King Xin and opens a new mansion. The auspicious day of the zodiac is personally determined by Master Gu Qing. All invitations are distributed early, waiting for the auspicious time to arrive to open the mansion and welcome guests.

Chi Xinsu, who was leaning on the couch, sighed lazily, stood up unhurriedly, and was helped by the Taoist attendants to change his clothes.

There were butlers and servants coming and going to welcome guests at the door. The prince's status was noble, so he didn't have to go in person, he could just entertain them in the main hall.

But he always hopes to see the person he misses for the first time.

Everyone knew that the Ninth Prince had been conferred and opened a new palace, and the guests who came to congratulate him were all dignified and dignified. They were surrounded by groups of servants, and there were an endless stream of female relatives wearing pearls and gorgeous garb.

There were so many congratulators and carriages that the Ke family coachman couldn't squeeze through, so he had to stop on the roadside dozens of meters away.

When Jiang Fuyuan got out of the car, he saw two familiar faces standing at the door from a distance, Su Menglong and Bai Muxing.

Su Menglong was looking up at the majestic door plaque, with an excited expression, and couldn't help but praise: "It is indeed a prince's residence, Xing'er, look at the words on it, it was written by His Majesty himself. It seems that the Ninth Prince is very favored by the Holy Family. "

Although he is a son of an aristocratic family, his father Su Hu knew that his son was not someone who could survive in the treacherous court, and never thought of giving him any official position in the court. Therefore, Su Menglong knew everything about Jiuxiao. It only comes from hearing.

He didn't even recognize that Chi Xinsu, who was holding an ivory whisk at the door, was the current Ninth Prince and the current King Xin.

Chi Xinsu's lazy eyes glanced across the crowd, until the moment he saw Jiang Fuyuan, a smile finally appeared on his expressionless face, and he couldn't help but stride towards her.

He said in surprise: "Cizhan, I thought you weren't coming."

Jiang Fuyuan stretched out her hand from her cloak, handed over the gift box, and said with a crooked eyebrow: "There's no reason why I can't come to your happy event."

Chi Xinsu took it with a smile: "It's cold outside. Follow me in quickly. I'll ask the cook to prepare the pastries and fruit tea you like."

"Okay, I happened to get up late in the morning and I didn't have any appetite at noon."

"Then you can eat more cushion later."

The two of them chatted as if no one else was around. From the beginning to the end, Chi Xinsu didn't even look at anyone else. Su Menglong frowned and said, "Aren't these Mu Cizhan and the Taoist priest from Bozhou? Have they also received an invitation from King Xin?"

After Bai Muxing came back from Bozhou, she learned about Chi Xinsu's identity from Gu Qing. However, the weak and helpless persona she established in front of Su Menglong made it impossible for her to tell Su Menglong that Chi Xinsu was the Ninth Prince, so she could only apologize and talk about it. Respond.

When Jiang Fuyuan and Chi Xinsu both walked past them without even looking at each other, Su Menglong said sourly: "Even if we promise each other for a while, we are still passers-by."

Hearing this, Chi Xinsu paused. He heard that he was alluding to Jiang Fuyuan's hypocrisy and indifference. He immediately clenched the gift box in his hand and turned his head to lock Su Menglong with cold eyes.

Su Menglong shuddered inexplicably. The sinister look in the eyes of the man in front of him was like a cold and slippery poisonous snake, slowly crawling up his back.

This made his skin stand on end.

Chi Xinsu stopped and Jiang Fuyuan also turned to look.

"Tsk, I thought it was something barking, but it turned out to be you."

Su Menglong forced himself to retort: ​​"Who are you calling a thing?"

Jiang Fuyuan immediately apologized sincerely: "I'm sorry, I made a mistake. You are not a thing."

Su Menglong shot himself in the foot and said anxiously and angrily: "Why am I not a thing anymore!"

Jiang Fuyuan followed the good advice: "Then what are you?"

Su Menglong: "..."

In terms of chatting, Jiang Fuyuan simply beat Su Menglong.

The two people's voices were loud, especially Su Menglong's. At this moment, many people looked over and some even started to whisper.

"That's the son of Yun Yahou Su Hu, right?" "Yes, his name seems to be Su Menglong. What is he yelling about?"

"It seems to be saying that I am nothing."

"Are you so self-aware?"

……

Bai Muxing, who couldn't stand it anymore, gently tugged at the corner of Su Menglong's clothes and whispered: "Brother Long, let's stop arguing in front of Prince Xin's Mansion."

Su Menglong didn't want to continue being beaten unilaterally, so he quickly took advantage of this step to come down. He snorted: "I came to congratulate King Xin on behalf of my father today, and I don't have time to waste time with you here."

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and walked towards the gate of Prince Xin's Mansion.

In front of King Xin, he pretended that he was here to congratulate King Xin. Even the thoughtful Bai Muxing was so embarrassed that his scalp went numb.

Jiang Fuyuan said speechlessly: "He is such an idiot, does his father know?"

"Why don't you suggest that his father give birth to another child while he is still alive? After all, his poor brain will affect the next generation."

Chi Xinsu nodded: "Good advice, I will pass it on to Yun Yahou."

Bai Muxing: "..."

Neither of them took Su Menglong seriously. After chatting for a while, they walked towards the palace. Bai Muxing could only follow behind them.

Just after stepping into the door and taking a few steps, I heard the ceremony officer behind me singing in a long tune.

"His Royal Highness is here—"

The loud voice suddenly drowned out everyone's greetings and discussions. Chi Xinsu and Jiang Fuyuan stopped and turned to look at the door.

The leader is Chi Dongchuan. He has a fair face and elegant manner. He has a tiger's back, wasp's waist and mantis legs wrapped in a golden nine-python robe. A kind of mixed temperament of a scholar and a military commander coexists in him, which is hard to find. Sideways glance.

But Jiang Fuyuan's eyes only glanced at him, and then fell on Zhong Liefeng, who was one step behind Chi Dongchuan.

The two people's eyes met, and their smiles made Chi Xinsu frown.

He had specifically told the housekeeper not to send invitations to General Zhongwu's mansion, just so that he and Jiang Fuyuan could be alone today. Unexpectedly, he had not expected that his second brother would bring Zhong Liefeng with him.

Chi Xinsu stood still for a long time, and the situation instantly became awkward.

Everyone knows that His Majesty currently has only two princes, King Duan and King Xin. There are also many rumors in private that the two princes are incompatible with each other and that the king cannot see the king. However, rumors are just rumors after all, and no one dares to bring this to light. explain.

I originally expected that the two princes would always pretend to be brothers and sisters, but today's look...

The rumors may not be unbelievable.

Chi Dongchuan was the first to smile and break the deadlock.

"Second brother, are you getting angry because your father didn't come in person? You also know that my father is busy with state affairs and can't always take care of everything. You can't get angry like a child."

When he said this, all the guests breathed a sigh of relief.

At least now the two tigers will not fight directly. You must know that a fire at the city gate will affect Chiyu. They are here to congratulate them and don't want to go back covered in blood.

Chi Xinsu knew that now was not the time to have an attack, so he returned a faint salute and said calmly: "Xinsu doesn't dare. Brother Huang, please take a seat."

After saying that, he made a gesture of invitation and let Chi Dongchuan and his party into the inner hall.

The tense atmosphere dissipated, the guests on both sides raised their smiles again, exchanged greetings and saluted each other again, and the atmosphere became warm again.
