After the case of Wang Haoliang was settled, it didn't take long for the talk of Concubine Du Gui to be seductive and the harem to exercise power, which was forgotten by the people of Jingluo City, and instead they excitedly explored new topics.

The drought in David is still going on, and many people are desperate for the rain. Farmers with no harvest have to move around, looking for traces of water, or simply fall into the grass, relying on looting and looting to support the surviving family members .

In August, it finally started to rain in David, and the gods rained dew for several days, making the whole country boil with it.

The rain fell on the dry farmland in the country, nourishing the cracked land, and made people see hope again; the rain falling on David's majestic palace, moistened the corners of Wei Rong and his anxious mouth, so that he finally got out of it. Liberated from a two-month drought.

Wei Rongyu's dedication and August's heavy rain were connected by whom. The courtiers all said that it was the sincerity of His Highness the Second Highness who moved the heavens, so that David's people could be favored by the rain god.

Wei Wuyue naturally pushed the boat smoothly and announced the big news that the second prince would be crowned prince.

At the same time, in order to compensate Wei Huaili, or to end Wei Huaili's desire to compete for the crown prince, Wei Wuyue also announced that the third prince can be crowned King of Liang, and bestowed on the wealthy Liping provinces. You can start your journey.And the eldest princess's marriage is also on the agenda again, Wei Wuyue will personally intervene, and the marriage will be completed within this year.

Faced with all these gifts, Wei Huaili felt that this was just a charity from his father to the losers.After all, no matter how rich the two provinces of Liping are, can they be compared to the emperor who owns the entire David?What made Wei Huaili even more chilling was that his father actually asked him to leave for the feudal clan as soon as possible. Even the elder brother could stay in Jingluo until he was seventeen or eighteen years old. Why did he have to leave early?

Wei Huai couldn't eat and couldn't sleep at night.

Compared with the gloomy loser, Wei Rongyu, who is about to achieve a positive result, looks beaming.

The crown prince's canonization ceremony is imminent, and people come and go in Yongle Palace all day long.

Learning etiquette, tailoring clothes, and choosing accessories, Wei Rongyu is also very busy.

Du Xiangrong sat on a chair drinking tea, looking at his tall and straight son, he felt infinitely gratified.

Although Du Xiangrong has served Wei Wuyue for many years, he has no descendants, so he has only one child. Fortunately, Wei Rongyu is not only impeccable in appearance, but also obedient and sensible, which makes Wei Wuyue very happy.

Du Xiangrong thought up to this point, he was both satisfied and loving towards his son, he couldn't help standing up, waved his servants back, and personally helped his son to button his clothes.

Du Xiangrong looked at Wei Rongyu in the bronze mirror, and said slowly: "My Du Xiangrong's son should wear a boa robe."

Wei Rongyu turned around, smiled at his mother, and said: "Mother Concubine, do I look good in this dress?"

Du Xiangrong said with a smile: "It's beautiful, it's so beautiful! This will take a walk around the palace, and I don't know how many people will be fascinated."

Wei Rong and Zheng Zheng crowned the crown, and Du Xiangrong said in a low voice: "Rong Yu, in the future, when you wear this dress, you can do whatever you want and whoever you want. But the concubine mother only has one word to say, wear it If you are on it, don’t let your brothers get you down easily.”

Wei Rong and Trance nodded, and asked again: "You can really want anything?"

Concubine Du Gui nodded Wei Rongyu's head with a smile, and said: "Silly boy, you are the prince, under one person, what can you want?"

Wei Rongyu couldn't help thinking to himself, even if I want that person, is it okay?

The crown prince canonization ceremony is scheduled for the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, which is another mid-autumn full moon.

At this time last year, Wei Rongyu was assassinated in the Taimiao, and the sacrifice was abandoned halfway. This year, the canonization ceremony was held in the Taimiao, Wei Wuyue secretly thought that no matter what, there would be no more problems.

In order to be safe, Concubine Du Gui entrusted either her confidants like Yang Han, or courtiers like Du Qingyao and Tao Jiusi who were closely related.

Du Qingyao and Tao Jiusi were temporarily transferred from the Ministry of Officials. They were mainly responsible for reviewing the deployment of guards on the day of the sacrificial ceremony. , have some snacks.

Tao Jiusi remembered that the canonization ceremony in his previous life was smooth and smooth, and there were no bad things as big as sesame and mung bean, so he even relaxed about his current work.

On this day, Tao Jiusi and Du Qingyao finished their work early and went to Zhushuiju to drink tea together.

Zhushuiju's business has been booming recently, and there is a lot of people's voices every day. Tao Jiusi and his wife waited for a long time, and finally found a table to sit down.The shopkeeper was embarrassed to treat regular customers slowly, so he personally brought a fruit plate and teapot to serve.

Du Qingyao said with a smile: "Zushuiju's business is really good recently, our manager Zhao is doing well."

Shopkeeper Zhao is a middle-aged man with a fluttering beard and a chubby man. Hearing this, he said with a smile: "My lord, I am laughing. It's just that there are many more guests staying in the store recently, and it's not for the pot of tea from the little old man."

Tao Jiusi said: "Staying in a hotel? Could it be that you came to Jingluo to visit relatives and enjoy the moon and celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Shopkeeper Zhao shook his head, frowned and said, "These guests are either in groups of two or three, or alone, and most of them carry swords. No matter how you look at them, they look like people from the quack, not like visiting relatives."

Du Qingyao glanced around and saw that, as shopkeeper Zhao said, the people around were all dressed as swordsmen and knights. He joked: "It seems that the martial arts conference will be held in Jingluo. These people are probably fighting in the ring."

Shopkeeper Zhao laughed, and said: "My lords don't know that the martial arts conference was indeed held in Jingluo, but it ended when July bottomed out. At that time, there were not as many people living in Zhushui as there are now. However, when it comes to This year's martial arts conference is also strange. I heard that a masked boy singled out 38 people and won 38 games in a row. Just when everyone lamented that the hero was a boy and the Wudang veteran was about to give way, the boy disappeared. It has never appeared again, it is really strange, many people in Jingluo are talking about it."

Du Qingyao liked the trifles of Jianghu very much, and listened with great interest, while Tao Jiusi stared at the other guests in the hall, wondering what he was thinking.

Suddenly, Tao Jiusi asked, "How many days have these guests booked rooms?"

Shopkeeper Zhao thought about it: "Most of them are after the Mid-Autumn Festival. It's really strange to say that. It seems that they really came to Beijing for the festival."

Du Qingyao looked at Tao Jiusi rubbing his forehead again, thinking that there must be something strange, so he sent shopkeeper Zhao away, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Tao, what do you see wrong?"

Tao Jiusi said, "What do you think they all have in common?"

Du Qingyao stared at those people for a while, then whispered: "All...are men?"

Without saying a word, Tao Jiusi motioned him to watch again.

Du Qingyao secretly looked at the three people at the opposite table, and saw that they were all in their twenties, with dark skin, and their behavior could not be called weird, in short, it was very out of date.

Du Qingyao touched Tao Jiusi with his arm: "Brother Tao, don't play tricks, tell others quickly."

Tao Jiusi smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, let's go find He Xiyun again."

Since He Xiyun and Su Qingmeng got married, he has fully started his business model. He went to various shops to check the accounts every morning, and spent most of the rest of the time busy in his uncle's restaurant.

The name of the restaurant is Lililou, and it is not far from Zhushuiju. The two of them walked for a while, and saw the gilded signboard appearing in front of them.

As Tao Jiusi expected, Li Lilou was also very busy.

Seeing that someone came to the door, Xiaoer was very sorry and said: "You two are objective. The shop is full at the moment. I wonder if you two are willing to wait for a while? As soon as there is a free seat, I will greet you and take a seat immediately, and I will also serve you a dish of Lili fish." soup."

Tao Jiusi smiled and said, "My little brother, we are here to find your shopkeeper."

Xiao Er looked at them and saw that they were both handsome and well-dressed, so he said, "I don't know what to call you?"

Tao Jiusi: "Brother, please tell me that Tao is visiting."

Xiao Er nodded and went in. Not long after, He Xiyun, who was wearing an apron, came out happily: "Xiao Tao, why are you here?"

Tao Jiusi said, "Since when did the boss also become a chef?"

He Xiyun scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "I want to learn a few dishes so that I can make them for Qing Meng in the future."

Du Qingyao clicked his tongue twice, and praised: "He is really a good husband. Brother Tao, your sister will be blessed in the future."

Tao Jiusi also smiled and said, "Xiyun is sincere, I will definitely tell Qingmeng when I go back."

But He Xiyun said: "Don't, I still want to give her a surprise."

Tao Jiusi smiled, feeling very happy for the two of them.

"Little Tao, why did you come to see me? Why don't you go in and sit around?" He Xiyun asked.

Tao Jiusi said: "There are some things to think about, Xiyun, are there many guests staying in the hotel from Lilou recently?"

He Xiyun said: "There are quite a lot of them. You see, those who are sitting and eating inside have all come to stay in the store recently."

Tao Jiusi stretched his neck to look around, and asked, "Are they all men with dark skin?"

He Xiyun thought for a while, then nodded: "Don't tell me I haven't noticed yet, but now that I think about it, everyone has dark skin."

Tao Jiusi was still staring at the people in the store.

Du Qingyao said: "Brother Tao, what about dark skin?"

Tao Jiusi: "Dark skin is of course not very good, but these people sit well, eat very fast, and often hold chopsticks with one hand and press the hilt of the sword with the other. They are obviously staying in a hotel to eat wine, but they are so vigilant, as if they will be so vigilant at any time. Facing the enemy, do you think about the characteristics of these people?"

He Xiyun Nahan: "Who?"

Du Qingyao said thoughtfully, "This is a soldier."

Tao Jiusi nodded: "Yes, this is a soldier, and Zhushuiju and Lililou also have one thing in common..."

Du Qingyao understood in a blink of an eye, and said, "Okay!"

He Xiyun: "Brother Du, what charades are you playing?"

Tao Jiusi explained patiently: "Zhuishuiju is very close to Chengtianmen, and Lililou is also very close to Chengtianmen."

He Xiyun nodded: "That's right, so our family's business is very good, and adults often come to drink."

Du Qingyao frowned and said, "Could it be that... the palace has changed?"

Tao Jiusi nodded: "Nine out of ten."
