I am a thief in the Tang Dynasty

That involuntary sweetness, no matter how suppressed it was, made her tone and eyes change a little.

If it were someone else, they might not notice it at all.

But who is Zhao Xuemin?

A remarkable woman who came from an ordinary family, relied on her beauty, and finally became the concubine of Prince Yan with her talent and scheming.

Just like Du Guiru, she is Fang Yiyi's secret woman.

It accurately captured the subtle sweetness revealed by Du Guiru.

Zhao Xuemin's guess has almost been confirmed.

She suppressed the shock in her heart and said with a smile:

"Thank you Guiru then."

"I'll go over there and say hello to my mother, then I'll come look for you."

"Princess Yan, please!" Du Guiru bowed respectfully with her arms crossed and watched Zhao Xuemin leave.

As Zhao Xuemin took a step, the most stunning beauty in the world, whose feet were invisible when she looked down, trembled, just like the turbulent waves in her heart.

"If my guess is true, then I am no longer alone. I have a companion!"

"If I can talk to Du Guiru and become a kind of sister in the future, we can protect each other when we meet Sanlang!"

Time flies by.

With Chai Xueying's help, Zuo Huirong's Fanghua Pavilion received a large number of orders.

At the same time, Chai Xueying skillfully took Zuo Huirong's hand and lied to the ladies around her without changing her expression:

"Mrs. Zuo has always helped the poor and needy, and has also helped Xueying support the widows of her comrades. Xueying admires and is grateful to her."

"You all do good deeds on a daily basis, but you are often cheated of your donations by some bad people."

"Madam Zuo is familiar with this, you can call Madam Zuo to join us next time."

"My Lord, you are too kind. I just rely on my humble background to understand more!" As smart as Zuo Huirong was, she immediately understood and humbly replied, "When it comes to doing good deeds, I am still not as good as you ladies and young ladies."

When the ladies heard this, they looked at Zuo Huirong with a strange light in their eyes.

It was possible for Chai Xueying, the female warrior goddess of the Tang Dynasty and the commander of the women's army, to take the position of a third-rank general of the Right Guard.

Even if Zuo Huirong was a lowly servant, she was still worthy of their getting close to her and making friends with her.

What's more, Chai Xueying is the wife of Fang Yiyi, who is at the peak of his career.

Moreover, Zuo Huirong was the richest woman in Chang'an and was also engaged in the gold, silver and jade jewelry business, so they were already familiar with her.

It’s just that in the past he was only regarded as a lowly merchant, but now, of course, it is completely different.

The princes and their wives no longer had the power to pressure others in Fanghua Pavilion as they did in the past, and they forced Zuo Huirong to a discount.

In order to compete with each other and show goodwill, they paid high prices and ordered jewelry.

Fang Yiyi made a lot of money.

Zuo Huirong, whose status rose rapidly, was sought after and praised by the noble ladies who used to be arrogant towards her.

While she was excited and happy, she glanced with gratitude at the handsome face not far away who was chatting and laughing with the princes and nobles.

Everything she had ever dreamed of was given to her easily by her master.

Half past noon.

Hundreds of eunuchs appeared at the venue of the Qujiang Banquet.

A sharp but not annoying voice sounded.

"Qujiang Banquet is about to begin. Please take your seats!"

Hundreds of people, in groups of three or five, led by eunuchs, headed towards their seats.

As soon as Fang Yiyi sat down, he saw Li Shimin sitting in the main seat, chatting and laughing with Cheng Yaojin with a very pleased look on his face.

Chapter 288 What's going on? Why are they all here again?

Fang Yiyi frowned and said secretly:

"Shouldn't you be anxious about the bet?"

"Why are you joking with His Majesty?"

The next moment, a thought came to Fang Yiyi's mind, and he thought to himself, "Could it be that he wants His Majesty to step in and delay the payment?"

As soon as the idea came out, Fang Yiyi couldn't sit still anymore.

The Fang family and other families bet a total of 1.24 million strings of cash.

Such a large amount of compensation is enough to cause great damage to the Qinghe Cui family.

Worse still, it could make the Qinghe Cui family unable to recover.

Let the five surnames and seven families become six families.

But if Your Majesty comes forward to mediate, as long as the conditions offered are generous, the Fang family and others will not be able to demand the debt.

Then the Qinghe Cui family will definitely be able to survive this crisis.

Maybe he could use this opportunity to surrender to Your Majesty. After all, the world will belong to Li Tang in the future.

The Qinghe Cui family thus strengthened itself and continued the family's glory.

This is the result that Fang Yiyi does not want to see.

The next moment, Madam Cui walked up to His Majesty and respectfully handed him a letter.

After Li Shimin opened it and took a look at it, he narrowed his eyes and said something with a smile.

Fang Yiyi, who knew some lip reading, saw clearly that Li Shimin was saying, "Master Cui sincerely invites me, so I will be there!"

Look, this is the strength of the Five Surnames and Seven Families.

When asking someone to do something for you, you should visit them in person rather than asking them to come to your home.

Even if Qinghe Cui begged Li Shimin to do things and sent him invitations to banquets, Li Shimin was very happy and did not feel embarrassed or that there was anything wrong.

Fang Yiyi retracted his gaze, his eyes flickering as he said, "Don't do anything weird or it will ruin everything."

"It's so hard to bring down a family, but if they take advantage of the opportunity to get close to your Majesty, all this will be in vain."

“I’m not that happy with the money I earn!”

"The Five Surnames and Seven Families really can't be underestimated. It hasn't been long since they figured out a way to break the impasse."

If Fang Yiyi knew, he would know that this scheme was suggested by his mistress Du Guiru.

We must give the other party a good beating and make Du Guiru beg for mercy!

At the beginning of the banquet, Li Shimin made some frank remarks, and the officials echoed him in a peaceful atmosphere. Then, dishes were served like a stream.

After eating for a while, everyone started to circle and toast.

However, as he drank, Fang Yiyi felt something was wrong.

Du Guiru came up to Chai Xueying with a glass of wine in hand:

"Princess, you guard the border for the Tang Dynasty and are also the commander of the women's army. You are as brave as men. Guiru admires you very much."

"I just heard that you always help the poor. Guiru admires you even more. If you do good deeds in the future, please bring Guiru with you."

Chai Xueying glanced at the Cheng couple not far away and saw them smiling kindly, looking over here, and even raising their glasses to her.

She lowered her guard against Du Guiru, smiled and raised her glass to the Cheng couple, then clinked her glass with Du Guiru and said:

"Mrs. Du, you are too kind. This princess only knows how to wield swords and guns, so I can only join the army to serve my country."

"No, no, my cousin is amazing. She is more heroic than many men. I don't know how many people admire her!"

Li Lizhi also came over and squeezed between the two women.

Then, the three girls started chattering.

After a while, Zhao Xuemin came over and said politely to Fang Yiyi:

"Greetings, Mr. Fang. Could you please move aside? I want to talk to the princess about something."

Fang Yiyi looked at the large empty seat next to his wife, but when he was met with the seductive eyes of Teacher Mingli, what else could he say? He just moved quickly.

"Princess Yan, please take a seat."

But not long after Zhao Xuemin sat down, Fang Yiyi suddenly straightened his back with a strange expression!

Chapter 289 Du ​​Guiru's Interception in the Dense Forest

Fang Yiyi glanced under the table and saw the slight bulge under his robe, then looked at the back of the beauty beside him who was facing away from him.

He endured the mischievous jade feet and said with deep emotion:

"No way? How flexible is this?"

"She sat with her back to the table, her legs stretched out, and her body not bent at all."

"It seems that we haven't explored enough before!"

Fang Yiyi thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to move at all, for fear that people around him would notice something unusual.

Tongfang Yiai, who remained calm, was drinking with Wei Shuyu and others.

As we drank and chatted, time passed by unknowingly.

The sky darkened and the lamps came on.

After drinking for an entire afternoon, even if Fang Yiyi tried to drink less, he couldn't avoid being drunk.

I don't know when, the naughty little thing under the skirt disappeared.

Fang Yiyi stood up shakily, refused his wife's help, and went to the toilet to sprinkle water with staggering steps.

As soon as we entered the quiet and elegant dense forest, the makeshift hut was only ten feet away.

Suddenly, the drunken look in Fang Yiyi's eyes disappeared instantly.

His right hand suddenly stretched out and grasped a slender hand like a pair of pliers.

She cried out, "Oh, you, you hurt me!"

The familiar voice made Fang Yiyi quickly let go of his hand and looked at the beautiful woman who was frowning in pain with concern.

"Gui Ru, are you okay?"

Du Guiru pouted her cherry lips, her face flushed from drinking, looking extremely charming under the moonlight, her eyes were blurred and filled with anger.

"Humph, I was sitting next to you this afternoon, and you didn't even look at me."

Fang Yiyi's face was full of embarrassment, and he didn't look at her for long. His attention was focused on Zhao Xuemin's mischievous jade feet.

He apologized quietly, "I'm sorry, I was so focused on drinking that I ignored you!"

"I......"

Before Fang Yiyi could finish his words, he hurried forward, covered Du Guiru's cherry lips with one hand, and pulled her into the dense forest.

The sound of discussions and footsteps came closer and closer.

Fang Yiyi and Du Guiru didn't even dare to breathe.

Bang bang!

Two violently beating hearts pressed tightly together.

Suddenly, Fang Yiyi felt something moving in his palm and glared at Du Guiru who winked at him playfully.

After waiting for a while, the sound disappeared and Fang Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief. He put down his hand without saying anything.

The cherry lips with a slight smell of alcohol pressed against his, causing his eyes to widen a little, and then he responded enthusiastically.

For a long time, the lips are divided.

Contented Du Guiru wiped her mouth, looked satisfied as if she had finished the meal, patted her lover's shoulder tenderly, and left happily.

Fang Yiyi, who was standing alone in the messy place, watched the beautiful figure leave and said in a daze:
