When Han Qi walked into the private room, Jiang Nuanzhu was playing with a small blue and white jade carving.Hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned around with a big smile on his face, bowed profusely, "My lord, Jin'an."

"Nuanzhu, you're welcome. I heard that Nuanzhu was frightened that day, and I'm really sorry. My king is here to apologize." He waved to the attendant, and the attendant immediately handed him a square one from behind. Sandalwood box.

"My lord is so annoying." Jiang Nuanzhu took the box, opened it, and saw a string of snow-white giant clam bracelets with golden rings on the blue velvet cloth, although it was not something expensive or rare , but it is indeed a good stuff.Jiang Nuanzhu twitched the corners of her mouth on purpose, and then put on a smiling face, "My lord came to see Nuanzhu, Nuanzhu is already flattered, how can I accept another gift from my lord?"

Han Qi directly ignored the corner of Jiang Nuanzhu's disdainful mouth, and said with a smile: "This bracelet was consecrated by Master Yukong of Xunyin Temple. Although it is not expensive, it has the effect of calming the nerves, warding off evil spirits and ensuring peace."

"The warm bamboo has thanked the lord." Jiang Nuanzhu said, and handed the box to Jiang Shuihan who was beside him.

"By the way, Nuan Zhu, how much do you remember about that day? Because the sky was too dark, I couldn't see the person who robbed us. I wonder if Nuan Zhu still remembers?"

Jiang Nuanzhu shook his head blankly, and said to himself, "Bei Yaofei is wearing a face scarf, it's no wonder you can see what he looks like."

"Nuan Zhu doesn't remember, but I just feel very scared, and I don't know anything else." She bit her lips and lowered her head slightly, clutching the skirt of her clothes tightly, "I'm sorry, I couldn't help the prince."

"Ah, it's okay, Nuanzhu don't mind, let alone worry, the king will definitely bring the culprits to justice." Han Qi saw Jiang Nuanzhu's forbearance and fear, and didn't dare to ask any more serious questions.He looked at Jiang Nuanzhu's small jade carvings on the table. The blue-white jade was thick and moist, and the grass-blue parts of the jade were carved into a few hollowed-out green bamboos just right, which was extremely delicate. "Nuan Zhu, who made this piece of jade? It's so uniquely carved."

"Ah? Oh, this one." Jiang Nuanzhu pretended to recover, and said, "It was carved by Dongguo. My cousin came over from home and brought a piece of Hejia grass jade, and Master Dong carved this."

"He Jia grass jade? Why, Nuanzhu is interested in this kind of jade?"

"Well. After soaking this kind of jade with a special potion for a period of time, it can emit the fragrance of water chestnut, which is especially suitable for girls to wear. It's just that the output of this jade is too small, and such a small piece was bought by my cousin from a merchant. It was bought with a lot of money.”

"This is the first time I've heard of it."

"This kind of jade is rare in our Central Plains, and not many people know how to use it, so few people know about it. It was my cousin who told me, and it's the first time I know about it." With that, Jiang Nuanzhu passed the jade Handed it to Han Qi, and said: "My lord, smell it and see it, isn't it very fragrant?"

Yu Qi took it over and smelled it, and there was indeed an elegant fragrance. He smiled and handed the jade back to Jiang Nuanzhu, saying, "Nuanzhu got a treasure this time."

"Hey, I think so too. But no matter what, I can't get in touch with He Jia's businessmen. Since I fought with them two years ago, their businessmen stopped coming." Jiang Nuanzhu Seeing Han Qi, he smiled and said nothing, "Does the lord know people from that place?"

Han Qi shook his head, and said regretfully, "I don't know either."

Jiang Nuanzhu sighed softly, and said in a concession: "If the prince can help Nuan Zhu contact the businessman over there, Nuan Zhu will definitely not treat the prince badly."

"Does Nuanzhu feel that the king is short of money?" Han Qi looked at Jiang Nuanzhu with some incomprehensible meaning.

Jiang Nuanzhu frowned slightly, and said again: "My lord has such a wide network of contacts, so I'm sure he can help Nuan Zhu. If you have any requests, just ask me. My lord, don't let Nuan Zhu guess, she's very stupid." Said Well, he smiled shyly and coquettishly, rolled his ecstatic eyes, and gave him a big look.

Han Qi was really overwhelmed suddenly, but soon, he realized that Jiang Nuanzhu would never trade at a loss, and if he really agreed, he might not be able to lose anything.But if he doesn't agree, he feels that this is a rare opportunity. After weighing it up, he suddenly smiles a bit wickedly, "Nuan Zhu really agrees to everything?"

"As long as Nuanzhu can do it."

"What if I want you to spend the night with me?"

Jiang Nuanzhu looked at Han Qi dumbfounded, "Does the lord want Nuanzhu to drink and chat with you all night? It's easy."

Han Qi shook his head, "No, no, beautiful night, this king just wants to kiss Fangze. Nuan Zhu won't refuse, right?"

When Jiang Shuihan, who was standing aside, heard this, he almost smashed the sandalwood box in his hand on Han Qi's head.

Jiang Nuanzhu's face immediately turned into the snow of the twelfth lunar month, "If the lord wants a woman, why bother to find Nuanzhu? Nuanzhu is not a lady from a famous family, and secondly, she is not an oiran who is good at dancing. She is just a business woman , how to do those things?"

"Is there anything you can't do? This king will teach you slowly, and it will definitely make you ecstasy overnight."

"My lord, please respect yourself!" Jiang Nuanzhu hurriedly stood up, flicked his long sleeves, turned around and stood facing the river.

Han Qi smiled, then got up and hugged Jiang Nuanzhu from behind.Jiang Nuanzhu was startled, then struggled away.Han Qi's strength was so great that Jiang Nuanzhu couldn't break the two hands tightly around his waist.Seeing this, Jiang Shuihan hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, but unexpectedly, he was grabbed by Han Qi's attendant.Han Qi's hand dishonestly stretched out to Jiang Nuanzhu's chest, and said with an evil smile: "Couldn't Nuanzhu be a virgin? Don't be afraid, this king will love you well. As for He Jia's jade merchant, don't worry , as long as you follow me, let alone one, even ten or a hundred, I will find you too."

Jiang Nuanzhu was already in a cold sweat, cursing Han Qi inwardly, using a little force in his hands to stop Han Qi's groping claws, "My lord, Nuan Zhu already has a sweetheart, please don't blame me. As for He Jia Yu Shang , Nuanzhu is gone. So, please let me go."

Han Qi didn't seem to hear his words, she chuckled and quickly clamped a pair of jade wrists that were fluttering with her left hand, and her right hand dishonestly began to penetrate into the lapel of the beautiful woman.

With a bang, the trays and plates were scattered all over the floor.Then a scream pierced Han Qi's ear directly.He turned impatiently to the door.Just at this glance, he was stunned, forgot the beauty in his arms, and also forgot what he was doing. He just stared at the plump woman in a water-blue long dress at the door, so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Jiang Nuanzhu took the opportunity to break free from Han Qi's restraint, calmed down a little, looked up, and saw Xun Shuiyin standing at the door helplessly, he turned his face to look at Han Qi's stupid look, and immediately understood: "Although Xun Shuiyin can't compare to Ling Yanxiu's exquisite and delicate face, she is still a first-class beauty. Moreover, one of Xun Shuiyin's strongest advantages, which he is far from being able to match, is her plump figure. "Jiang Nuanzhu couldn't help laughing secretly: "As expected of my fourth brother, he is the same as the father, even the woman he likes is of the same type. Hey, I thought of this earlier and let Xun Shuiyin come here. He walked over slowly and grabbed Xun Shuyin, winked behind Han Qi's back, and said, "Cousin, why are you here to serve tea? Just let the servants do it."

"Ah, it's okay. I just came back from the street and bought your favorite magnolia cake. I wanted to send it to you for a taste, but I didn't expect you to have guests here. I, I..." Xun Shuiyin said redly Looking at the shortbread scattered on the ground, he was at a loss.

"It's okay. I'll send someone to buy it again. I still have something to do. You should go home first."

Xun Shuiyin turned to leave, but Han Qi could not let the spring scenery in front of him be easily lost, so he hurriedly said, "Nuanzhu, this is your cousin? Can you introduce me to me?"

Jiang Nuanzhu didn't look back, and said coldly: "My lord, isn't one warm bamboo enough? My cousin is a woman from a good family who doesn't leave home. Compared with a prostitute like me, she is a flawless jade. you……"

"Nuan Zhu misunderstood, I don't mean anything malicious, I just want to get to know each other."

Jiang Nuanzhu took Xun Shuyin directly behind him, frowned and turned around, glaring at him, "You are a prince with power over the world, how can I, a little pariah, misunderstand you." After finishing speaking, he tilted his head and looked at Xun Shuyin Said: "Cousin, you go down first."

Xun Shuiyin nodded, Han Qi stepped forward and directly blocked the way, and said with a dark face: "Jiang Nuanzhu, do you really want to save face?"

"My lord is serious."

"This king just wants to get to know this girl, and there is absolutely no malice. This king can swear to God, if this king has evil thoughts in his heart, he will not die well."

"Your Majesty's words are serious." As he spoke, Jiang Nuanzhu hurriedly pulled Xun Shuiyin to bow down.He thought to himself: "Unable to end well? You have said this oath ten times since you were young, and it is almost the same. You are not afraid that you will die without a place to bury yourself!"

Han Qi helped up the two beauties, and looked at Xun Shuiyin with good eyes.Jiang Nuanzhu had no choice but to say: "My lord, this is my cousin Zhao Yin'er." After speaking, he said to Xun Shuiyin: "Cousin, this is His Royal Highness King Jin, hurry up and greet."

Xun Shuiyin immediately bowed and said, "Ministers see the prince."

"Get up, you don't have to be so cautious. Nuan Zhu, let's continue talking about Yu, and Yin'er too?"

Seeing Han Qi's lustful eyes, Jiang and Xun cursed in their hearts at the same time...

"Yin'er, I heard from Nuan Zhu that you brought this piece of He Jia grass jade? Why, you like jade too?"

"Returning to the lord, Yin'er only likes He Jia grass jade, and has no interest in other jades." Xun Shuiyin replied coldly.

"That's right. But He Jia grass jade is rare in the Central Plains, and this is the first time this king has seen it. How does Yin'er know?"

"Back to the lord, Yin'er saw it in a book when she was a child. After that, she couldn't forget He Jia Caoyu. Although she treasured a few pieces, they were still very small and inferior. Yin'er didn't expect this thing to enter In the eyes of the prince and cousin."

"Ah, this is a good thing. Although I don't know the businessman from He Jia, there are people in the court who do. Go and ask them if they have any jade you like."

"Your Majesty, are you serious?"

"Is this king someone who talks nonsense? Do you know Wei Shan, the general who went to He Jia?"

Xun Shuiyin nodded, "Yin'er knows."

"This king and his grandson Wei Kaiding are good friends. Although Wei Kaiding is young, he has a lot of friends. In addition to the relationship between the Wei family and He Jia, he must be able to find something he likes for the beautiful lady."

Xun Shuiyin looked at Jiang Nuanzhu who was expressionless, but said nothing.

Jiang Nuanzhu said quietly: "I wonder if the prince can recommend this person for Nuanzhu?"

It was only then that Han Qi thought of Jiang Nuanzhu who was beside her. Seeing her uneasy expression and wanting to win the beauty's heart, she said, "Of course. I wonder when Nuanzhu will be free?"

"Nuanzhu would like to listen to the prince's arrangement."

"Then..." Han Qi only thought about how to get Xun Shuiyin in his mind, and said, "How about a trip on Xuanjing Painting Boat tomorrow? My king will come to pick you up when the time comes, okay?"

Jiang Nuanzhu looked at Xun Shuiyin helplessly, nodded, and then he began to issue orders to evict guests: "My lord, my cousin and I have some private matters to attend to. See you tomorrow, how about it?"

Looking at Jiang Nuanzhu with a frosty face, Han Qi couldn't afford to provoke her anymore, so she got up and said goodbye.

After seeing off Han Qi, Jiang Nuanzhu immediately smiled at Xun Shuiyin.

Xun Shuiyin baffled him, pulled his sleeve embarrassingly, and asked nonuo: "What are you laughing at, Your Highness?"

Jiang Nuanzhu straightened his expression, and said, "Call me cousin here." Seeing Xun Shuiyin nodding, he cleared up his complicated expression, and joked, "If I had guessed that Han Qi liked beauties like you, I would Why don’t you do this loss-making business.”

When Xun Shuiyin heard Jiang Nuanzhu boasting that she was a beauty, she couldn't help but blush, and the second half of the sentence didn't catch her ears at all: "I'm not a beauty at all. It's Dian... cousin's outfit is really called Shuiyin... er It's an eye-opener." After thinking for a long time, she finally praised Yu Xun's women's clothing.

Jiang Nuanzhu smiled mischievously, and said, "It's more convenient to do things outside this way."

"Miss, I don't think Han Qi is a good quarrel, let's make less trouble in the future. If Miss Xun hadn't arrived in time, it would have been really dangerous." Jiang Shuihan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said slowly.

Jiang Nuanzhu nodded, "Well, thank you cousin."

"Dian... Cousin, what's the matter, if you don't help us, we still don't know what to do next." She paused, and then said: "Cousin can just call me Yin'er."

"Yeah." Jiang Nuanzhu looked at Jiang Shuihan who was standing aside and Jiang Tianyi who came from the inner hall, and smiled slightly: "Today's matter, Yin'er helped a lot, and it went smoothly."

"If Han Qi dares to be presumptuous again, I will draw my sword and chop him!"

Jiang Nuanzhu smiled, "He didn't take advantage of anything, forget it." After taking a sip of tea, he said again: "Well, let's leave it at that today, I'll send Yin'er back to the palace."

Everyone looked at each other and smiled.

Jiang Nuanzhu then took Xun Shuiyin back to Prince Yi's mansion from the secret road, and told the people waiting in the mansion.
