The daughter-in-law of the cold father and the hot concubine

Chapter 25
Chu Yuliang stopped undressing and turned to look at her, "Really?"

Xiaoqin nodded, "Back to the eldest lady, the people in the third lady's courtyard said so. I don't know if the eldest lady will go, if you want to go to the temple fair, this servant will go and prepare incense for you."

Chu Yuliang became silent.In this era, temple fairs are held in various places in August and September, mainly to thank the gods for blessing this year's harvest and to pray for a good weather next year. People in this era are a bit ignorant in her opinion, but their beliefs cannot be denied. How well do ordinary people live? Well, it really depends on God's arrangement.When the weather is good and the weather is good, the common people can live and work in peace and contentment. When the people are well, the national power will naturally become stronger.Therefore, many high-ranking officials and nobles and even the royal family will pay attention to the folk custom of temple fairs.

She wasn't very interested in these things, but Chu Lingxiang took the initiative to ask her out about the things she was interested in.

You know, the third young lady of the Chu family never paid attention to her. Although she didn't think of ways to deal with her like Han Jiao, she never regarded her as her sister, and now she took the initiative to invite her to play. Surprise.

It is said that 'if there is a vision in the sky, there will be a demon', does this count?
Their tricks of framing people have repeatedly failed, and they have no chance to poison and poison. I don't know what 'tricks' they have this time?There are only a few tricks she can think of to harm people, and framing and poisoning won't work, so should she go straight to assassination?
Seeing that she suddenly stopped talking, Xiaoqin called out in a low voice, "Miss?"

Chu Yuliang came back to her senses, and suddenly raised her lips to her, "Anyway, I'm fine, since the third lady invited me, I'm definitely going. Xiaoqin, you can go and answer the third lady in a while."

"Yes." Xiaoqin replied respectfully, "The servant girl will go and prepare the things that the eldest lady needs tomorrow."

"Yes." Chu Yuliang didn't refuse either.The purpose of going to the temple fair is mainly to thank the gods, and the second is to have fun. It is essential to prepare melon and fruit snacks. Those things are used when worshiping the gods. She is not worried about being poisoned.

After bathing, according to her habit, the two servant girls left after tidying up the room.

Chu Yuliang extinguished the candle and lay on the bed. Two quarters of an hour later, she got up in the dark, took off the night clothes hidden on the beam and changed them, opened the window, jumped lightly, and disappeared into the night——

Regardless of whether Xiao Qin belonged to Han Jiao or not, she couldn't eat anything she cooked.If you go to the temple fair tomorrow, if the journey is a little longer, you have to bring enough dry food. Tonight, you have to go to Xian Wang's mansion to see if there are any pastries and the like. All her money is in the hands of that man, so she has no pocket money. Don't steal it from him. Who can steal things from the house?
In the study of Prince Xian's mansion, Yan Hongxuan was reading in the study as usual.He has not been in the capital all year round, and after returning to Beijing, he does not have many affairs. There are princes and king Zhao in the court, and Yan Futian has not arranged for him to do anything. He seems to enjoy the leisurely life. The time is spent in the study.

Compared with his quietness and leisure, Cheng Wei, who was standing by, obviously couldn't bear this boring atmosphere.Seeing that Xu Shi was about to pass, and the master who was leaning against the oil lamp had no intention of going back to the room at all, Cheng Wei finally couldn't help it.

"My lord, the mansion has been attacked by thieves for several days. Why don't you let people catch the thieves?" He really didn't understand, obviously the lord already knew that the foreign thieves had entered the mansion to steal things, but it's a pity that he didn't want anyone to catch them. It is to fuel the arrogance of the thief.That thief is also really strange. He steals food every day when he comes to the mansion, and doesn't steal anything else.Although their palace of the virtuous king does not lack these things, they make trouble again and again under their noses, which makes him, as a personal bodyguard, feel very frustrated, as if he is useless.

Beside the lamplight, the man was quietly reading a book, his eyebrows were like black ink, his eyes were like deep pools, his nose was straight and his lips were thin, his carved facial features looked more deep and three-dimensional under the light, and the faint firelight covered his handsome face. It seems to be a little warmer than usual.The gold thread on the crimson blue brocade robe exudes a glass-like luster, which sets off his slender and straight body even more noble and charming.

Hearing the noise beside him, Yan Hongxuan cast a squinting glance at him impatiently, "It's just a nameless thief, nothing to be afraid of, his thief can come to my palace often because he thinks highly of me."

"..." Cheng Wei was a little messy, and started scratching the back of his head again.What kind of fallacy is this, my lord?When others catch thieves, they beat them to death, but the prince is lucky, and even opens the door to welcome them.

And at this moment, Manager Zhao came to report, "Sign up to the lord, the thief is here again, he didn't steal any food tonight, and he's venting his anger in the kitchen."

Hearing this, Cheng Wei immediately clenched his fists and rushed out, "This hateful thief, let alone stealing food, dares to play tricks in the palace of the virtuous king!" He had never seen such a bold thief before. Then he had to give him a good beating!
"Wait." Seeing the subordinate who was about to rush out of the study, Yan Hongxuan stopped him suddenly.

"My lord?" Cheng Wei stopped and turned around, frowning, "My lord, this thief is too hateful, how can you let him do what he wants?" I have seen people who raise cats, dogs and women, but I have never seen one like the lord. Thief, what happened to this?

"Stand back, I will meet him personally tonight." Putting down the book, Yan Hongxuan got up from the chair, and when his tall and straight body passed by the two, he suddenly paused, "No one is allowed to approach him without the order of the king." .”

Seeing him just disappear into the night, Manager Zhao and Cheng Wei looked at each other, shaking their heads and sighing in puzzlement.Your lord's life is too leisurely...

The big kitchen was dark, and a thief in night clothes searched the corners several times, but he still couldn't find anything to eat.

"Damn it!" After being hungry for a long time and waiting to come here for a big meal, but there was nothing, the certain thief couldn't help cursing in anger, "Damn man, stinky man, why don't you leave me something to eat! How stingy! Don’t let me see you in the future, or I will beat you every time I see you!”

It's a waste of time to come here, just scolding a few words is definitely not enough to relieve the anger.Before leaving, the certain thief groped in the big kitchen again unwillingly. This time, she found something and smashed it, dustpan, spatula, vegetable basket... After a while, she threw and kicked all the things. He didn't even let go of the heavy iron pot, not to mention falling to the ground, kicking it several times in spite of his anger.

"Ouch!" Chu Yuliang stood on one foot, hugging her sore foot, and cried out in surprise as she kicked something.

The food was not stolen, and the kitchen was destroyed, so she had no choice but to go back home.The bruised toe has not been relieved of the pain, and I am worried about being discovered, so I can only fly and jump a few steps, just like a kangaroo jumping.
