Tang Yuyao didn't know Lu Zhongkai, but when she saw the middle-aged man standing next to Zhao Jue, she felt that this man might be at least his age.
He is not tall and thin. He looks elegant and looks like a typical scholar.
Could this be the Lu Zhongkai her mother talked about last time?
Tang Yuyao turned back and thought to herself.
Although it only took a short moment, both Zhao Jue and Lu Zhongkai saw Tang Yuyao's appearance clearly.
very beautiful! Even Zhao Jue lost his mind for a moment. After reacting, although I felt surprised, I felt it was reasonable. Unlike others, he really felt that Zhao Ting had a hidden illness when he saw that he was still unmarried at such an age. This kind of thing happens very rarely. How could it be such a coincidence that it happened to Zhao Ting. In Zhao Jue's view, Zhao Ting, who has never been granted a marriage, seems more like someone who has someone in his heart, so he has never had anything to do with a man and a woman.
When he saw Tang Yuyao's appearance today, he felt that he had guessed correctly. The person in Zhao Ting's heart was probably this woman!
Fortunately, a woman can be considered Zhao Ting's weakness.
Lu Zhongkai was in a daze. Watching Tang Yuyao turn her head in the dark made his heart beat faster. He remembered the first time he met Jiang a few years ago. However, there were two princes in front of him. He quickly came back to his senses and saw clearly that Tang Yuyao's face was clearly unfamiliar, but there seemed to be a bit of familiarity in the unfamiliarity.
When Tang Yuyao turned back, he also spoke: "The prince is joking, how can a subordinate have such ability to know such a big thing before the prince?"
Zhao Jue glanced at Lu Zhongkai with a smile and said to Zhao Ting: "Seventh brother misunderstood. I heard this news from another brother."
Other brothers?
Zhao Ting immediately thought of Zhao Yu, and only Zhao Yu could possibly know the news from his mother and concubine.
Zhao Ting was not surprised. Concubine Li had always only loved Zhao Yu, so it was normal to tell him. But if the news comes from Zhao Yu, then if he wants to know, he can just ask, and there is no need to argue with Zhao Juexu. So he nodded and said: "Brothers, they care about me. Fourth brother, I have something to do, so I'll take the first step."
After speaking, he turned around and pulled Tang Yuyao away quickly.
Lu Zhongkai was stunned. Before he could get far, he was already surprised and said: "Your Majesty, Prince An actually..."
Zhao Jue waved his hand to interrupt him: "Let's go, Jinjiang Tower is just ahead, let's go there first."
Lu Zhongkai didn't dare to say anything anymore and hurriedly nodded and followed. But in my heart, I was thinking that no one wanted to pay attention to this King An, who had never married a wife and had no serious job, but he still had such a shabby temperament that could not be supported by mud. It should be noted that His Highness King Cheng is the younger brother of the current crown prince, the second son of the current queen, and he is also a victorious general. Such a person extended an olive branch to him, but he did not appreciate it or accept it!
What a fool!
On the surface, Jinjiang Tower is an ordinary teahouse run by a wealthy man in Beijing. This teahouse is extremely famous in Beijing, not because of how luxurious the decoration is and how high-end the tea is, but because I don’t know when this place inexplicably became a prestigious place in Beijing. A place where only talented people can enter. As more and more distinguished people come to visit, this small Jinjiang Tower has become a hundred times more valuable. Nowadays, most people will be kicked out just waiting to enter the building to drink tea or just wandering outside the door.
But very few people know that the real boss behind Jinjiang Tower is actually King Cheng Zhao Jue.
Zhao Jue took Lu Zhongkai in through the back door and went straight up the stairs at the back to the fourth floor, which was not open to the public. When they arrived at the wing in the middle of the fourth floor, eight people were already waiting in the room. As soon as they saw Zhao Jue, the eight people stood up and came forward one after another, bending their knees, clasping their fists to apologize, and saluting respectfully.
Zhao Jue waved his hand and interrupted: "No need to be polite." He sat down at the main seat first, and then said: "Everyone, sit down!"
Among these eight people, there are old men who are over sixty years old, and young girls in their prime; one is a lady who looks like a serious family, and there is also a fireworks woman who can't hide the aura of prostitution on her body; there are colleagues who are officials that Lu Zhongkai knows, There was also a street gangster who looked extremely wretched... Eight people with such different styles unexpectedly gathered together and listened to the same person.
Lu Zhongkai couldn't help but tremble in his heart. Zhao Jue asked him to come with him. After meeting these people, he would never be able to get away from him again.
These eight people are the eight spies under Zhao Jue, and there are eight people under each of them. On this day of every month, these eight people will come to Jinjiang Tower to report to Zhao Jue the useful information they have found within a month. tactic. However, today was different from the past. Zhao Jue asked a question before asking them to report.
"Prince An, Zhao Ting, has a woman by his side. Does anyone of you know what is going on with this woman?"
Among the eight people, except for the woman who was full of profane aura, the other seven people all looked at each other, and in the end almost all shook their heads.
Zhao Jue's eyes fell on the fireworks woman: "Xiu Qin, tell me."
The woman named Xiu Qin was probably born romantic, so even though she was facing Zhao Jue, she still leaned back lazily on the chair as if she was boneless: "Reply to the master, it's none other than the woman next to King An. Ah, it’s the maid who used to serve him!”
"Oh?" Zhao Jue sounded surprised.
Xiu Qin smiled: "My name is Yuyao! It's strange. She has been with King An for many years. She has not been able to climb into King An's bed for so many years. Unexpectedly, she climbed up when King An was about to be married. ”
Zhao Jue didn't say anything. He narrowed his eyes and thought about Tang Yuyao whom he saw earlier. Then he put the matter aside and asked about business.
~
There was also silence between Tang Yuyao and Zhao Ting. Although no one spoke, they both had the same idea and lost interest in continuing their shopping, and went all the way back to the entrance of Defu Restaurant.
As the carriage swayed, Tang Yuyao turned to look out through the curtains, but Zhao Ting knew that she was in a daze rather than looking. He looked over several times and saw that she looked dazed, with no expression on her face for a long time.
She said nothing.
However, precisely because she didn't say anything, Zhao Ting felt sour and bitter.
He couldn't explain, not because he was afraid that she wouldn't understand, but because he was afraid that she would be scared and that she would be worried about him.
She was just a simple little woman with thin shoulders, unable to bear what he wanted to say.
It was better to let her think that he was going to marry the princess, even then he didn't feel much better.
In fact, Tang Yuyao was not jealous or sad. Her eyes were distracted, but she was thinking about Lu Zhongkai, whom she had just met. She had already experienced Zhao Ting's matter in her previous life. Even though some small things had changed in this life because of her rebirth, these were not important to her.
"Yu Yao." Zhao Ting called her, and at the same time reached out and held her hand.
Tang Yuyao put down the car curtains, turned around and said with a smile: "Master, is the Mr. Lu we met just now the husband of Mrs. Lu we met last time?"
Zhao Ting originally had something to say, but Tang Yuyao changed the topic and he was happy: "Yes, he is Lu Zhongkai."
It's true!
Tang Yuyao's face remained calm as usual, but she felt a little complicated in her heart. Even though she was her father's daughter, she had to say that Mr. Lu Zhongkailu, he and his father were the same in heaven and earth. No wonder my mother would leave her husband and daughter to follow him. Even if this person is not a top pick or an adult, just looking at his appearance and demeanor, he is not comparable to my father.
The carriage slowly stopped, and Prince An's Mansion arrived.
Tang Yuyao smiled and thought it was just a casual question: "Master, shall we go back?"
Zhao Ting said, "You go back first. I have other things to do, so there's no need to wait. Let's rest early."
"Then you come back early." Tang Yuyao said, looking up at the jade hairpin on Zhao Ting's head, and reaching out to touch it, "This jade hairpin really matches the master, it looks good!"
There was a slight smile on her face, but her eyes were as bright as stars. Zhao Ting's heart felt sour and hot for a moment, so he grabbed her waist and hugged her into his arms.
"Yuyao!" He called her name loudly, but for some reason, his heart felt empty as if something was missing.
I can only hold her tightly, as if this will never be empty.
Tang Yuyao didn't know what was wrong with him, so she patted his back gently and said, "Where are you going? If not, can I go with you?"
"No, you go back to the house and wait for me." Zhao Ting said, finally letting go of Tang Yuyao.
