The concubine's concubine smiled charmingly, and the villain king would not hesitate to tease h

The sky is getting brighter, the faint light enters the house, and the New Year's firecrackers outside are like thunder.

Wen Xun'er grabbed the clothes on Xiao Jiwei's shoulders: "There are guests today, don't make me shameful!"

Xiao Jiwei lowered his eyes, glanced at the red mark on her neck, and moved away.

Wen Xun'er frowned.

One night is not enough for the medicine old man Ji gave her to wear off.

In addition to being clear-headed, his hands and feet gradually became disorganized, and this undoubtedly encouraged the man.

At the end of the matter, Xiao Jiwei raised his eyes and asked her: "Are you willing?"

Wen Xun'er turned her face away from the bed, looking at the hazy sky outside the window: "If I say I don't want to, can you stop?"

Xiao Jiwei didn't speak.

Wen Xun'er looked away, met his gaze, and stretched out her hand after a moment of silence: "I only have one request, I can't give birth to you, at least not now!"

Xiao Jiwei tightened his brows, and suddenly his whole body relaxed.

He had accumulated too much to refute Wen Xun'er's refusal, but when she agreed, all his strength seemed to be exhausted in an instant.

The astonished emotion hovered in his eyes, and the same astonished people who were close at hand.

Looking at each other, Xiao Jiwei was a little defeated.

Wen Xun'er stared at him for a moment, seeing his face turned suspiciously red, and immediately coughed lightly: "I want to take a bath!"

"Okay, I'll have someone bring hot water in."

Xiao Ji got up, grabbed his clothes and put them on, then left the scene as if fleeing.

Wen Xun'er stared at the top of the bed, and let out a helpless sigh of relief.

The servants brought hot water in, and Qiuyue was going to help her get up.

"I will do it myself!"

Wen Xun'er quickly refused: "Put your clothes by the tub, wash me well, and I'll call you!"

While waiting for her to change clothes, the two nuns looked at the looming marks on her neck and said one by one how happy they were.

They chose the most appropriate clothes for Wen Xun'er according to today's occasion, and combed her a bun that best suited her identity. After finishing all this, the sky was bright.

After Wen Xun'er recruited the butler, double-checked the schedule of today's banquet, and went to the kitchen to check it out, Hongying suddenly came to the kitchen in a hurry: "Prince Princess, something happened!"

Wen Xun'er was checking the ingredients for today. Hearing this, she looked at her strangely: "What happened? Are you so flustered?"

Hongying had never seen such an expression.

"come here!"

She pulled Wen Xun'er aside, then lowered her voice and said, "Mr. Li from Dayan disappeared last night!"

"Li Yunni... Li Yun?" Wen Xun'er shook his hands.

Hongying nodded: "Didn't the prince ask General Shen to play chess last night? After General Shen returned home in the morning, he was so sleepy that he didn't notice the abnormality for a while. It wasn't until the sky was bright that the servants entered the room and didn't see Mr. Li, so they informed him. General Shen confirmed that Mr. Li had an accident!"

"Have you checked around? Do you have any clues?"

"No!" Hongying replied, "There is no sign of any struggle in the room, and Mr. Zhang's people have not noticed any traces of assassins. It is suspected that it was done by the inner ghost of our Prince's Mansion!"

"Does Your Highness know about this?"

Hongying nodded: "Master Zhang has already gone to inform him!"

Wen Xun'er hurried out of the kitchen and went straight to the front hall.

At this moment, guests have come to the Prince's Mansion one after another, Xiao Jiwei should welcome them in the front hall.

On the way to the front hall, she bumped into Xiao Jiwei who was going to the study, and behind Xiao Jiwei was Shen Wei.

Shen Wei looked annoyed: "Blame me, if I went to my mother in time when I came back yesterday... I would have taken a look in his room, and I wouldn't have missed it!"

"Any clues?"

"Today the mansion is organizing a banquet, and there are a large number of servants coming in and out of the mansion. I'm afraid they have already moved out of the mansion!" Xiao Ji said dangerously.

Everyone's faces became serious.

Wen Xun'er listened to the lively voices in the front hall, and her heart was suspended: "What should we do now? Will the banquet continue?"

"You continue the banquet in the mansion first, let's investigate!"

Xiao Jiwei looked at Shen Wei: "Don't worry, General Shen, I know the seriousness of the situation, and I will do my best!"

Li Yunni is not just a simple son of Yan Xiangguo, but her real identity is the concubine of Emperor Yan!If something unexpected happens to her this time, not to mention that the negotiations between Dayan and Beihan will be futile, the peace between the two countries may also be threatened.

Wen Xun'er's heart tightened, and he looked at Qiuyue behind him: "Go and get the butler!"

Ask the butler to check on everyone who entered and exited the Prince's Mansion today. On the other side, the banquet is still going on, but in the face of the swarms of guests, there must be someone to welcome them. Xiao Jiwei must not be free now. She went to identify herself alone. It was inappropriate, and when Wen Xun'er was at a loss, Hongying suddenly suggested: "Why don't I invite King Gaoyang? If he is here, maybe I can handle it for a while!"

Wen Xun'er's eyes lit up, and he was no longer polite, and grabbed Hongying's hand: "Then there will be sister Lao Hongying!"

"You're welcome!"

Hongying asked people to prepare a fast horse and left the mansion quickly. Wen Xun'er came to the front hall, and the guests immediately greeted them, most of them were officials with lower ranks and their family members.

"Greetings to the Crown Princess! The Crown Princess has auspicious new year!"

Those people saluted her.

Wen Xun'er tried his best to put on a smile: "Everyone also has auspicious new year!"

Among the officials, those with children, Wen Xun'er immediately asked Qiuyue to seal a red envelope: "Come, New Year's money."

The small red purse that was ordered in advance looks festive and auspicious. The first day of the new year is nothing more than a lucky draw, and no one cares about how much money is in it. Seeing that she is so good at wooing people, the officials look at her with admiration , especially the accompanying girls.

But they received news that the Crown Princess intended to take a concubine for the Crown Prince this time!

Ordinary people take concubines, they are naturally not happy, but the concubines in the Prince's Mansion are different!Although she is a concubine, she will be an imperial concubine in the future!As long as they can become the imperial concubine, the future children will be eligible to compete for the throne, especially in Beihan, it is not based on the status of the eldest son, but on strength, so the son of the imperial concubine will be more qualified!

Moreover, the Crown Princess, the mistress and future mother of the world, seems easy to get along with, so marrying into the royal family is even more desirable!

Wen Xun'er naturally knew what these people were thinking about her.

She originally wanted to take advantage of today to make a good selection of people, but Li Yunni's disappearance had left her with no energy to do this. After greeting everyone, she went to the door to pick up the guests for a while, hoping that Hongying would come back soon!

Unexpectedly, Hongying came unexpectedly fast, and she had already picked him up in only half an hour!

Wen Xun'er saw Xiao Sheng who was wrapped in a thick cloak on the back of the red-tasseled horse, his eyes lit up, and he immediately went forward: "Brother, you are here!"

Xiao Sheng glanced at her, but said nothing, Hongying got off the horse first, then stretched out her hand to help him off the horse.

Facing Hongying, Xiao Sheng really changed his face, his eyes looked much warmer.

"Crown princess, leave the prince's side to me, you can go to the back kitchen without worry!"

What she meant, the two of them tacitly agreed.

Wen Xun'er heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at Xiao Sheng: "Then please trouble King Gao Yang!"

She made a slight salute before taking Qiuyue away.

After she left, Hongying looked at Xiao Sheng: "My lord, I owe you a favor today, but I also know that my lord is weak, if you are receiving guests, just tell me if you have any discomfort!"

Xiao Sheng looked at her: "You have to follow me!"

Hongying responded, "Okay!"

With Hongying by her side, Xiao Sheng cooperated a lot, seeing the rare guests nodding in response, which made the boulder on Hongying's heart a little loose.

I just don't know what's going on with the princess!

Wen Xun'er is listening to the butler's report.

"The people who came in and out today are all here. According to Wang Hao's order, the circled ones are those who haven't come back yet!"

When a banquet is held in the Fuchu, there will naturally be purchases of ingredients, but not everyone will deliver things according to the original time, and in this era without telephones, it is inevitable that people will be urged to confirm, and when the banquet is actually operated, it must be difficult There will be some unexpected situations that I didn't think of before, so there will be some temporary purchases, which will increase some people who go out of the house.

Moreover, when the Prince's Mansion is in operation, it is customary to go out of the mansion to transport garbage, discard unnecessary things, or some other workers.

Wen Xun'er counted the list, the number is not small, it is difficult to sort out in a short time.

"Do you know all these people?"

The butler nodded: "They are all servants of the mansion, and there are no irrelevant people!"

Wen Xun'er focused on finding a few people who delivered the supplies out of the house: "Check the whereabouts of these people, and ask people who are close to them, is there any difference in their behavior in the past two days?"

The butler agreed, and immediately took the list to check.

But when he came back half an hour later, he found nothing.

Wen Xun'er had a headache.

Li Yunni is not like her, she is a serious boudoir lady, weak, weak, and beautiful, if a murderer finds out her identity as a woman, I don't know if she will be safe.

What's more, if news of a country's imperial concubine was taken away overnight by gangsters, if such news reaches Dayan, with Dayan's strictness towards women, I am afraid that her reputation will be damaged, and she will miss her in the past!

It's just that Li Yunni is worse than her in that she is just a daughter of a general and can't go to any elegant hall, so the rumors and rumors of outsiders can't hurt her, but Li Yunni is different. The imperial concubine values ​​her reputation more than she does. If such a detrimental matter is spread, she may not be able to bear it!

The top priority is to find her as soon as possible!

As time went by, the number of guests finally increased. After several uncles arrived, the emperor also brought Concubine Li to the Prince's Mansion. Wen Xun'er had no time to stay in the backyard, so he could only go to the front hall to greet her.

Xiao Jiwei also came out.

But judging from his appearance, he knew that things hadn't made much progress.

"Good job!"

The banquet was arranged by Wen Xun'er in the garden of the Prince's Mansion, and the place to eat was in the octagonal gazebo.

Some of those gazebos were built temporarily, while others already existed, and it really took a lot of effort to toss them up.

But such a design is quite ingenious for a banquet, first of all is the design of the main seat!

Wen Xun'er arranged the entire pavilion in a circle with dots in the middle, that is to say, the center of the circle is the main seat, and then there are other seats arranged in a circle. Except for the main seat, the rest of the seats are all blurred. For those who are fighting for the position and the seat all day long, I don’t know how much less disputes. After all, the circular arrangement of the seats, where and where They are all superiors, everything depends on where the emperor sits!

However, according to the etiquette of seating, the emperor will only be the last to enter, so whether he can sit in the top position just depends on luck!

This move, I don't know how many people feel proud.

Obviously, the emperor also liked this arrangement very much, and even the concubine Li who was standing beside him praised him again and again: "The princess has a heart!"

Wen Xun'er smiled and invited them to sit down.

Behind the two, Xiao Muke looked left and right, and said strangely: "Where are the two envoys of Dayan? Why don't you see them?"

Xiao Ji gave a dangerous look, and Wen Xun'er hastened to explain: "They said they want to live alone in their courtyard, so they won't come out!"

Xiao Muke nodded: "Okay, then I'll go find them after eating!"

Wen Xun'er looked at Xiao Jiwei, Xiao Jiwei shook his head and signaled her to take the table.

There are too many enemies among the guests present today, especially the Northwest Qin King. If they are caught by them, it will definitely disrupt the situation. I have brought people to search secretly!

Wen Xun'er nodded, and could only follow him to the table.

It has to be said that Xiao Jiwei is indeed the kind of person who is good at disguising. During the whole banquet, he answered the questions fluently and dealt with them calmly, unlike her, he was somewhat distracted.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

She was sitting next to Concubine Li, Concubine Li probably sensed something was wrong with her and asked her.

Wen Xun'er shook her head quickly: "No, it's just that I didn't sleep well last night!"

Concubine Li's eyes glanced at her skirt, with a hint of understanding: "Although you are the princess, it is fine to have the prince here, but if you feel uncomfortable at the banquet later, you can go to rest first, and you don't have to attend the later party." matter!"

Since the banquet is held for one day, there will be various performances after lunch, but as Li Fei said, she can indeed leave early.

Wen Xun'er nodded.

If Xiao Ji is too dangerous, she will go and watch, and if there is any news, she can tell him as soon as possible!

Seeing that the banquet was about to end, Wen Xun'er also planned to evacuate as soon as possible, but at this moment, Xiao Yuanjie, the son of King Beiqin, suddenly got up from his seat and asked the emperor for instructions: "Your Majesty, today's banquet at the Prince's Mansion It's quite satisfactory, but my nephew heard that the two envoys of Dayan are also in the Prince's residence, why don't you see them come out to attend the banquet?"

Xiao Jiwei responded with a smile from the side: "Yuan Jie doesn't know something, they don't understand the language, and they don't like crowds, so they didn't come!"

"Really?" Xiao Yuanjie smiled, "But why did I receive the news that the two envoys of Dayan didn't like to come, but because one of them was kidnapped and his whereabouts are unknown? "

"Abducted? Whereabouts unknown?" Xiao Muke who was eating suddenly put down his chopsticks, "Xiao Yuanjie, please speak clearly, who was taken captive?"

Xiao Yuanjie was missing a person to set off the atmosphere, unexpectedly Xiao Muke stood up, he immediately smiled: "It seems to be that Li's?"

"Mr. Li?" Xiao Muke was shocked, and looked at Xiao Jiwei, "Brother Prince, is it true? Mr. Li was captured?"

Xiao Ji glanced at her, and then looked at Xiao Yuanjie: "How did you know the news that I don't even know?"

"Don't worry about how I know!" Xiao Yuanjie stared at him, "Since the envoys of Great Yan came to our Beihan, you have been receiving them all the time. If something happens to them in your Prince's Mansion, Prince, you will Give Beihan an explanation!"

There was a "snap", the sound of chopsticks falling heavily on the table, the emperor looked at Xiao Yuanjie, "Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year, what do you want to do?"

"Your Majesty, it's not that the dog wants to make trouble, but that this matter is of great importance. If the envoy of Dayan really has an accident in our Beihan, the consequences will be disastrous!" King Beiqin stood up.

Seeing what King Beiqin said, King Xiqin on the side also echoed, "It's not that simple. This is the Prince's Mansion, and the two envoys live in the Prince's Mansion. If they are safe and sound, wouldn't it be nice to come out for a walk?"

The emperor remained silent.

King Xiqin then turned his attention to Xiao Jiwei: "Prince, this request should not be considered a challenge, right?"

Xiao Jiwei responded with a smile: "Naturally it doesn't count, it's just a coincidence, because it's the first day of the new year, early in the morning, the two envoys wanted to take a look at our Beihan's customs, so they went out for a while. I'm afraid I won't be able to find it."

"It's okay, it's a big deal, let's wait!" Xiao Yuanjie said.

The emperor immediately looked at him: "What are you waiting for? If something really happened to someone, the crown prince will give everyone an explanation, but if there is nothing wrong with him, Yuan Jie, if you act like this, you must ask carefully, what is your intention?"

Xiao Yuanjie paused, and King Beiqin at the side immediately pulled him to sit down: "Okay, I don't know where I heard the rumors. Your Majesty, don't ask him for advice. Anyway, there will be lantern viewing tomorrow. If the two of you The envoys are safe and sound, as long as His Royal Highness brings them here, there is no rush!"

Xiao Jiwei slightly nodded: "King Beiqin, don't worry, definitely!"

With the influence of this incident, the emperor seemed not very happy, and left after sitting for a long time.

Others did not dare to touch the bad luck of the Crown Prince's mansion. As soon as the emperor left, they also left one after another. When everyone dispersed, someone chased after Xiao Jiwei: "Brother Prince, tell the truth, is Young Master Li in the mansion?"

"Not here." Xiao Ji said calmly.

"Then where did he go?"

Xiao Jiwei glanced at her: "It's getting late, you hurry back to the palace, as for your question, tomorrow will have the answer."

Xiao Mu should not answer: "If you don't want to tell, I will ask myself!"

She took a step forward, but Chunsheng stopped her: "Princess, you should go back to the palace first!"

"Step aside!"

Seeing that he refused to admit it, Xiao Mu immediately stretched out his hand to hit him, while Xiao Jiwei grabbed her wrist: "I told you to go back to the palace, can't you hear me?"

Xiao Muke pouted aggrievedly: "I just want to know if he is safe, is there something wrong?"

Wen Xun'er took a step forward: "Princess, Your Highness suffered from the wind and cold yesterday, and has been very uncomfortable for the whole morning. Can we talk about something tomorrow?"

Xiao Muke looked at her: "I just want to know if Mr. Li is safe, is it so difficult? Or is something really wrong with him?"

Xiao Muke suddenly opened his eyes wide.

"No!" Wen Xun'er denied, "She went out with General Shen, don't worry, we will definitely take her to see the lantern tomorrow!"

"Really?" Xiao Muke was skeptical, "Alright, it's only tomorrow anyway, so I'll wait for you! You must definitely bring him!"
