Speaking of this King Yan, he is the fourth son of His Majesty today, four out of twenty. It is rumored that His Majesty despises this son, so he was entrusted to leave Beijing early and stationed in this remote place.

King Yan's Mansion is located in the city, covering a vast area. There are two majestic stone lions outside the mansion. The three big characters of King Yan's Mansion on the plaque are plated with bright gold powder, shining golden in the sun.

Although this King Yan was not favored by the emperor, the emperor did not seem to treat him harshly, and everything still followed the royal etiquette.

However, the gate of the palace is magnificent and magnificent, but it is not guarded, which seems a bit strange.

Fu Peibai stepped forward and pulled the red lacquer gold nailed copper ring, and knocked on the door. After a few times, heavy footsteps came from inside the door, and the door slowly opened with a creak.

An old man in a dark gray robe and gray hair stood hunched over inside. Although his posture was old, his eyes were shining. He glanced at the four young men and women, then stared at the thin and handsome young man and asked: "Are there any problems?"

"Old man, please inform the prince. I am Fu Peibai, a disciple of the Tianji Sect. This is the second lady of the sect. These two girls are also traveling together. I will go to the southwest for a trip to Sichuan. Spend the night at the prince's mansion."

The old man's face was calm, and his attitude seemed a little cold. After saying "wait", he closed the door, leaving Fu Peibai and the others outside.

"An old man who guards the gate is so arrogant! He doesn't care about our Tianji sect!"

Where did Lu Qingwan ever receive this kind of treatment? In the past when she traveled down the mountain, she would nod and bow when she heard the name of Tianji Sect. She was polite and thoughtful. Now, a mere old servant of the palace would not pay attention to her, and immediately became very angry , wanting to step forward and knock on the door vigorously.

Fu Peibai hurriedly pulled her back, and persuaded: "Second Miss calm down, we are away from home, it is not appropriate to cause trouble, don't worry about it."

It has to be said that Lu Qingwan's temper is stubborn, and sometimes Lu Wencheng can't persuade her when she plays with his temper, but she can still listen to Fu Peibai when he talks to her in a nice voice, except for those two women.

Lu Qingwan suppressed her anger and reluctantly withdrew her hand.

Not long after, the door opened again. This time the person who came was none other than King Yan. He was dressed in a luxurious purple robe, with a jade crown and a jade crown. He had an extraordinary bearing, but his face was pale and morbid. Stepping out of the threshold, he said with a surprised look on his face, "Mr. Fu, Second Miss Lu, why are you here in Lin City? Come, come, please come in quickly."

Fu Peibai seemed a little embarrassed by this excessive enthusiasm, and could only put on a perfunctory smile.

Several people entered the palace together, and found that the huge palace was empty. They walked through the garden courtyard, passed the long vermilion corridor, and entered a white marble arched stone gate. Guards, maids, etc.

Xu Shi saw Fu Peibai's doubts, and Yan Wang took the initiative to explain: "I don't have a wife and children, and I am alone. I don't need so many people to serve me, so I only left the old housekeeper, nanny and a few maids by my side."

Fu Peibai nodded, and followed King Yan to move on, and finally they came to several houses in the first place.

"Mr. Fu, Second Miss, you two girls, you can stay here tonight, and the king will host a banquet in the evening, and then I will treat you well."

"Thank you for your kindness, but it is not appropriate for me to wait for a group of people to disturb the prince. The prince doesn't need to spend a lot of time to entertain us with a banquet."

King Yan smiled kindly, narrowing his long and narrow eyes half-closed, "Oh, Mr. Fu, now that you are traveling in the mountains, even though you have more of a quack in your body, why are you still so shy? The sons and daughters of the quagmire want to be happy, Honesty, don't be so concerned about etiquette."

"That's right, Apei, the lord is hosting a banquet. In the future, our Tianji sect will invite you back. There will be exchanges between people. This is called human relations." Lu Qingwan also echoed.

King Yan smiled and said, "Second Miss is right."

Helpless, Fu Peibai could only agree, and then they divided the room and went into the room to rest.

Fu Peibai recuperated her inner breath in the house. After sitting in meditation for an hour, she estimated that it was still early, and wanted to go to the street to replenish some things. Just as she opened the door, the door beside her opened with a creak.

Seventeen changed into clean clothes, a white floor-length dress, and a transparent tulle light shirt over it. Fu Peibai stared at the clothes, feeling strange, after all, after saving Seventeen, the other party was penniless Wen, I bought all the clothes for her. In my impression, I don't seem to have bought such a piece of clothing that is not suitable for traveling.

She was able to stare at people for a long time, Shi Qi walked over in a few steps, stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her eyes.

"what happened?"

Fu Peibai suddenly came back to her senses, she took a step back, and replied unnaturally: "It's nothing, I just haven't seen you wearing this, do you want to go out?"

"Well, I have nothing to do, I'm going to go shopping in the city."

Thinking of Shi Qi's eye-catching face, Fu Peibai took advantage of the situation and said, "Let's go together, I just want to go to the street to buy some things."

The corners of Shi Qi's mouth curled and he answered. The two were about to leave the palace when Lu Qingwan's angry voice came from behind.

"Where are you going!"

Fu Peibai turned his head and replied: "Go to the street to buy some things, Second Miss, do you have anything you want us to bring for you?"

Lu Qingwan strode over, stood beside Fu Peibai, glanced at Shi Qi, "No, I'll go with you."

Fu Peibai thought of changing Lu Qingwan just in time, so he didn't say anything.

Immediately, the three of them left the palace and came to the main street of Lincheng. This would be a time when there were many people on the street, and the whole avenue was noisy and full of people.

Fu Peibai stood in the middle, standing on one left and one on the right were two beautiful women. The one on the right looked young, but she was born with a youthful appearance. Her face was covered with a light veil, so she couldn't see the whole picture clearly, but with her slender eyebrows and eyes as crystal clear as glass, it could be seen that this must be a stunning beauty.

The two beauties are naturally conspicuous by their side, attracting a lot of scrutiny, but occasionally a few eyes fell on Fu Peibai, and the masters of these eyes were the young women walking together, They held up round fans to cover their faces, whispering to each other, and cast a few shy glances at Fu Peibai from time to time.

Fu Peibai is a martial arts practitioner with clear five senses, so she is naturally aware of these gazes. She is a little embarrassed to be scrutinized. Just as she is about to speed up her pace and pass by these young women, the sleeve on her left side is scorned. He tugged hard.

She looked sideways at Seventeen, not knowing what it meant.

Shi Qi pointed to a tailor shop by the road, and said, "Go in and have a look, aren't you going to change Miss Lu's outfit?"

Fu Peibai was a little surprised that Shi Qi knew what he was thinking, but it was important to get out of this embarrassing situation right now, so he walked into the tailor shop.

The owner of the shop is a slightly fat woman with a kind and friendly face. When she saw the customers entering, she hurriedly said hello, "My lord, do you want to buy clothes for the two young ladies?"

Fu Peibai pointed to Lu Qingwan, "Please trouble the store to find a suitable men's clothing for this girl."

It was only then that Lu Qingwan realized that what Fu Peibai said about dressing up to cover up her true face turned out to be for her to disguise herself as a man. Of course, it is more convenient to walk around the rivers and lakes disguised as a man, and it is also convenient to hide her identity, so she didn't say anything and let the shopkeeper Lead to choose clothes.

While Lu Qingwan was picking out and changing clothes, Fu Peibai looked around at the clothes on display in the store, thinking of Shi Qi beside him, he said, "Miss Shi Qi, you can pick two more clothes, it's convenient to change and wash on the way."

Seventeen Eyes smiled, "You have bought five or six sets of clothes for me before, that's enough, but you, you always change your clothes like this, just choose two sets for yourself."

Fu Peibai scratched his head embarrassingly, "It's okay, two clothes are enough to change."

She is no longer saving money when she spends money on herself, she tends to be stingy and stingy, but never ambiguous when she spends money on others.

Along the way, although the food and clothing for these three women is not the best, it is definitely not bad, and I can make do with what I can.

Shi Qi stopped talking, she knew Fu Peibai's temperament, this person was a bit rigid and stubborn, it was useless to argue with her, it would be more effective to compare directly.

She walked towards the men's clothing hanging on one wall, looked around, and fell in love with a Sinicized Hu suit. This set of Hu suit was all in navy blue, and the hem of the skirt was embroidered with cloud embroidery with dark patterns. It was equipped with leather wristbands and leather boots. , Capable and elegant, very suitable for people who travel on the rivers and lakes.

Shi Qi called the servant to take off the clothes, then he pinched the sleeves of the jacket and walked up to Fu Peibai, gesticulating to see if it fit.

The distance between the two was a little close, and Fu Peibai could see Shiqi's fair and delicate cheeks when she lowered her eyes a little. She was a little embarrassed, but she didn't dare to move, her voice was tight, "Really... really, no need."

Shi Qi ignored her and competed for a while, then took back the clothes, and said to the boy: "This suit is just right, let's just wear it, little brother, please wrap it up."

This dress is expensive, and it has been hanging in the store for a long time, and it is finally sold, the boy is naturally happy, he quickly took it, and did not forget to compliment a few more, "Young lady has good eyesight, this dress is simply beautiful!" Tailor-made for this young man."

Fu Peibai just raised her hand to stop the servant, but the servant had already rushed to the back hall to pack the clothes, so she had no choice but to withdraw her hand embarrassingly.

After a while, the servant brought out the packed clothes, quickly went to the counter to fiddle with the abacus, and finally said a number that made Fu Peibai speechless.

"My lord, the clothes and accessories are worth 30 taels of silver."

Fu Peibai's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it: "What?! Just 30 taels of silver for a suit of clothes?"

"My lord, don't underestimate this outfit. We use fine silk from the Western Regions as a tribute. It's very cool to wear in summer. Look at the embroidered patterns on the collar and hem, but we found the largest silk fabric in the city. In the embroidery room, dozens of embroiderers spent a lot of time embroidering, not to mention the wristbands and leather boots, but they are all high-quality cowhide, 30 taels of silver, we really can't make much money."

Fu Peibai's face softened a little, but he still felt that it was too expensive, "It's really too expensive, brother, I don't want this dress anymore."

How could the young man fail the deal that was decided, he was about to speak, when he saw the beautiful woman standing by the side stretching out her hand to the young man.

Fu Peibai was stunned, staring at Shiqi Yingbai's palm, wondering what she meant.

"what happened?"

Shi Qi blinked, with a sly smile in his eyes, "Give me the money bag."

Facing the soft words, Fu Peibai couldn't say no to it. She slowly took out the money bag from her arms and put it in Shiqi's palm.

Seventeen neatly took three silver ingots from the purse and handed them to the boy, and at the same time said to Fu Peibai: "Count it as what I bought for you, and I will return it to you in the future."

The young man happily took the silver ingot, as if afraid of Fu Peibai's repentance, he hurriedly said: "If the money and the goods are settled, the transaction will be considered. Thank you, young lady, for patronizing our store. I wish you all the best and good luck."

The boy's words have reached this point, Fu Peibai can only swallow the sentence "No need".

The boy smiled, and secretly glanced at the young man and woman, thinking that the young man was handsome but stingy, but when the woman opened his mouth, he was very obedient, thinking that the two must be a couple. I wish these two a happy marriage for a hundred years and have a son soon, and maybe I can ask for a few coins.
