Seeing her gaffe, Xiao Chen laughed loudly and threw down an extra two taels of silver, "Give my ugly girl a hairpin to block her ghost-like face."
After saying that, Xiao Chen hugged Concubine Shu and walked towards the restaurant, unable to hide his sarcasm while laughing.
"Xiao! Chen!" Ji Hongluan clenched her fists tightly.
Concubine Shu pinched Xiao Chen angrily, dumbfounded, "Don't tease her all the time. I know you're just having fun, but that girl is not easy to mess with."
Xiao Chen smiled leisurely and became even more generous, "If you are easy to mess with, I won't play with you."
"Come on, madam, we won't come home until we get drunk tonight."
Concubine Shu shook her head, there was really nothing she could do against Xiao Chen.
The three of them came to Zuixian Tower, and Xiao Chen spent a lot of money on the largest private room, the best kabuki, and the best wine and food.
It was always like walking on thin ice in the palace, and it was rare to be so happy. Here Xiao Chen let go of eating and drinking, holding Concubine Shu in his left hand, and Mei Ji serving the drinks with his right hand, it was so comfortable.
Seeing that Xiao Chen actually let Jiuji sit on an equal footing with her, Concubine Shu wanted to get angry several times, but seeing Xiao Chen looking so carefree and happy, she suppressed it in the end by some strange mistake.
She found more and more that her tolerance for Xiao Chen was extraordinary, and even... seemed to be stronger than her tolerance for His Majesty and those of the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard.
Concubine Shu couldn't explain clearly what this feeling was. She had been really depressed all the way out of the cold palace. She felt depressed for a while and couldn't help but drink herself up.
Outside the door, Ji Hongluan, who was dressed like a maid, was also holding a wine pot, wishing to dig out all the eighteen generations of Xiao Chen's ancestors and scold them.
"This damn eunuch actually dares to let me guard the door? He is really bullying!"
"It's unbearable!"
With that said, Ji Hongluan drank another sip of wine for herself.
Xiang Yichun and others had been protecting him secretly. Now they came over to ask for permission. When they came to the private room, they saw that in the room full of people, almost no one was awake except Xiao Chen.
Seeing Xiang Yichun, Xiao Chen put down the wine glass in his hand. The look in his eyes was as clear as before he drank. He even frowned slightly, showing a hint of vigilance, "What's wrong, Brother Xiang?"
Xiang Yichun looked around, very cautiously.
Xiao Chen waved his hand, pretending to be drunk, and said vaguely: "Get out, get out for me! If anyone refuses to leave, I will chop off your heads!"
As he spoke, he pulled out the sword from Xiang Yichun's waist and drunkenly slashed around.
Suddenly, the singers and dancers in the private room were so frightened that they screamed loudly. Mixed with the drunkenness, they were even more panicked. They all ran away in a hurry, shouting as if they were running for their lives.
Concubine Shu was so drunk that she lay on the table. After being frightened by this, her body trembled and she let out a slight cry.
Xiao Chen glanced at her, and he was very calm. He picked up Concubine Shu and put her on the bed. He then told Xiang Yichun, "The man outside the door is probably drunk and unconscious. Please put her on the bed." She also carried her in."
After tucking the two women into bed and settling down, Xiao Chen asked, "What's the matter?"
"Oh, that's it." Xiang Yichun approached Xiao Chen and lowered his voice, "The student who was guiding the Governor at Jingnan Academy suddenly came over and said that he had something important and wanted to tell the Governor in person."
"Lord Governor, look..."
Xiang Yichun couldn't help but worry in his eyes, suspecting that there was fraud.
Xiao Chen just thought about it for a moment, then sneered leisurely, "It doesn't matter. In this case, you ask him to wait for me at the nearby Shengping Inn, and I will go there later."
"yes."
Xiang Yichun responded solemnly, his eyes filled with respect.
Even he thought that Xiao Chen was completely dissolute and just enjoying himself this time, but he didn't expect that the governor was as clear-headed and calm as ever, with such self-control and strategizing mind, which he had never seen before even if he had been in the world for many years.
Although he is said to be a dragon or a phoenix among men, I am afraid that he is not worthy of Xiao Chen's palace and magnanimity.
How could Xiao Chen know these sighs of his? After the room was quiet, he just walked to the bedside and looked at the two beauties who were sleeping drunkenly. Each of them had rosy complexions and skin as good as snow, but even when they closed their eyes, they could still I feel the complete difference between the two of them.
Concubine Shu is like a snow lotus on an iceberg, noble and pure, fascinating; Ji Hongluan is like a cluster of flaming roses in the valley, fiery and wanton, giving people a burning pleasure.
"Red roses and white roses, wonderful..."
Xiao Chen sighed secretly, smiled slightly drunkenly, and quietly slipped out of the back window of the private room.
This private room is on the second floor. Although Xiao Chen does not know Qinggong now, he is still at the fourth level after all. It is very easy to travel to such a height using only internal strength.
Shengping Inn is located in the southeast of Zuixian Tower. Xiao Chen had noticed this place when he was wandering around.
The place is crowded, with countless tourists coming and going every day, so the more chaotic it is, the easier it is to hide.
Xiang Yichun was waiting for Xiao Chen at the back door of the inn, and said with cupped hands: "Master, we have settled in, but my subordinates asked several times, but he refused to tell me and insisted on seeing the governor in person. Will you go in with me?" "
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded, but he didn't take it to heart. He was just a student, so there was nothing to worry about.
Arriving at Room No. 1, the door opened automatically from the inside.
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, walked into the room with his hands behind his back and looked coldly on the thin and alert student.
"Oh, I remember you. You were the one who led the way to Jingxian Pavilion that day."
Xiao Chen spoke lightly, and a gaze that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts fell inadvertently but sharply on this person. He saw that this person was dusty, his crown and hair were messy, as if he was running for his life.
Suddenly, the corner of Xiao Chen's mouth curled up, and he felt a bit more clear in his heart, "Why, those bastards in Jingnan Academy can't tolerate you?"
As soon as these words came out, Duan Haichao's eyes immediately turned red. He choked and knelt heavily on the ground, kowtowing and said: "Student Duan Haichao, please take me in."
"Students are willing to follow the Governor with their lives, even if they die!"
Xiao Chen's handsome eyebrows were raised slightly, and there was an imperceptible coldness between his eyebrows. Then his expression remained as usual, and he just sat down on the chair beside the table noncommittally, and said slightly, "Oh, you are here to seek refuge with me."
Duan Haichao's voice was choked with sobs, and he suppressed the male tears in his eyes, but he could not hide his grievance, "Since the student led the way for the governor, I can no longer survive in Jingnan Academy. Everyone ostracizes me. The student has no background and is neither outstanding" His knowledge is incomparable to theirs.”
"But the student has a loyal heart to you, the Governor! Lord, you are the student's reborn parent..."
As he spoke, he gritted his teeth hard, and a look of desperate determination filled his eyes. He expressed his determination to Xiao Chen, and also seemed to say to himself, "If you don't show up, you'd rather die!"
"Master, the student is willing to give everything!"
