It's an illusion.

Li Wang was in a daze for a moment. If the Ninth Prince was standing in front of him, he would not doubt the authenticity of his perception, but the Prince was standing in front of him.

"Your Highness said, that piece of jade can be made into a pair of jade pendants, one for His Highness and one for me, it's just right."

At this time, King Li noticed that there was also a jade pendant around Jiang Ling's waist, and it was not difficult to see that it was made of the same material as the jade pendant on the crown prince's waist.

The jade pendant is exquisitely carved, it is a complete pattern when put together, and the integrity of the pattern will not be affected if it is separated. If Li Wang observes closely, he will see that the back of the jade pendant worn by Xiao Shengyun is engraved with the word "Ling", Jiang Ling The word "Yun" is engraved on the back of the jade pendant worn.

So, is the prince really showing off to him...?

Looking at the prince's face, as usual, only when facing Jiang Ling, there will be a trace of tenderness.

King Li knew that the crown prince loved Jiang Ling, the crown princess, but he didn't think that the crown prince would change his previous personality for Jiang Ling.

Shaking his head to shake off the unrealistic thoughts in his mind, Li Wang took the two of them into the auction house.

Whether in modern times or in this world, this is the first time for Jiang Ling to come to the auction house. Along the way, Jiang Ling looks around curiously.

The layout inside the auction house is similar to that of a restaurant, with a total of three floors. The first floor is the lobby, the second and third floors are private rooms, and those with status are on the second and third floors.

"Brother Jiang," the Ninth Prince squeezed out from the crowd, "What is Brother Jiang up to these days? I invited you out to play and you didn't come."

It seems oh.

Jiang Ling remembered that she had rejected the Ninth Prince's invitation several times, and couldn't help feeling a little guilty, and tightened her grip on Xiao Chengyun's arm.

"He is studying in the medical center." Xiao Shengyun answered for Jiang Ling.

"Ah?" The Ninth Prince was at a loss, "Is Brother Jiang studying medicine?"

"Probably." Jiang Ling nodded, he learned a lot of medical knowledge from Chang Shun and others in the medical center.

The Ninth Prince didn't understand: "What are you doing learning this, isn't there a Tai Hospital?"

"Xiao Shengyi." Xiao Shengyun's tone was slightly cold.

"Okay, okay, I won't say, Brother Jiang, I'm in the private room over there, you will come to play with me later, I have already found out in advance what good things are in this auction, come and see if there are any I want it." The Ninth Prince pointed to a certain direction upstairs, just as someone called him over there, and the Prince saw his cold eyes, so he left first.

"Your Highness, why don't we go to the Ninth Prince's side later?" Jiang Ling didn't deliberately ignore the Ninth Prince's invitation, but every time Qingyao told him, it was late at night. I have to continue to go to the medical center, and the time is indeed too late.

"What?" Xiao Shengyun paused.

"The Ninth Prince invited me several times, but I didn't respond even once, isn't it good?" Jiang Ling felt that if she was the Ninth Prince, she would be sad if she was rejected every time.

"He invited you just to play around. You have to be busy with the medical clinic. It's normal not to go."

Seeing the guilt on Jiang Ling's face, Xiao Chengyun held his hand: "You don't have to think too much, there are many people around the Ninth Prince, if you don't go, there are still many people playing with him, if you don't believe me, you can ask him later , see if he brings a group of people to play every time."

Jiang Ling made a note of this matter and decided to find a time to ask about it.

Xiao Shengyun led Jiang Ling to the private room on the third floor: "If there's anything you want later, just tell me, I'll buy it for you alone."

The private room is gorgeously furnished, the walls are inlaid with fist-sized luminous pearls, the floor is covered with thick velvet blankets, and there is an ice basin in the corner, which makes you feel the coolness as soon as you enter.

Wine pots, teapots, and exquisite snacks are placed on the small table, and there is a copper incense burner by the window, from which faint white smoke rises.

Fan De stepped forward, extinguished the smoke in the incense burner, and opened the window for ventilation.

"Your Highness doesn't like burning incense?" Jiang Ling thought about it, living with Xiao Shengyun for so long, it seems that he has never seen incense in the bedroom.

"In the past, someone tried to tamper with His Highness's incense. Since then, His Highness has stopped burning incense." Eunuch Fan explained.

The private room was quite large, Jiang Ling walked around in it, and finally sat down on the soft couch that looked the most comfortable.

The soft couch was covered with a thick velvet blanket, because there was enough ice in the room, so it wouldn't feel hot, Jiang Ling pressed the velvet blanket under her palm, and urged: "Your Highness, come and sit, it's so soft here."

Xiao Shengyun came over and sat down.

The soft couch is not big, and the remaining space for two seats is limited. Jiang Ling didn't care, she walked up to the prince's side, took his hand and pressed it on the blanket: "Touch it, is it very soft?"

"Very soft." Xiao Shengyun curled his fingers. Compared with the blanket, the boy's hand was softer and more comfortable.

Xiao Shengyun's hand was slightly larger than Jiang Ling's. Jiang Ling's palm was pressed on top, and the bottom was a white blanket. The skin colors of the two were in contrast, and Jiang Ling's hand was whiter.

She moved her fingers, and the knuckles were dug into the man's fingers. Under the skin-to-skin contact, the body temperature was transmitted to each other.

Xiao Shengyun turned his palms over, and wrapped Jiang Ling's hand in his palms, interlocking his fingers.

"Your Highness...?" Jiang Ling looked up at this scene in a daze.

"I just feel that Ling'er's hands are softer." Xiao Chengyun tightened his fingers, tightly wrapping the young man's hand in his palm.

"Your Highness is lying," the heat spread from the palm of Jiang Ling's heart, and for some reason, Jiang Ling felt flustered, "How could my hands be softer?"

"Ling'er doesn't believe it, feel it yourself." Xiao Chengyun held Jiang Ling's hand and moved it up in this posture.

Everything seemed to be in slow motion, the noisy voices faded away, Jiang Ling could only see and feel Xiao Shengyun alone.

There is a soft touch from the back of the hand.

—the lips of a man.

Xiao Chengyun put his lips against Jiang Ling's hand and kissed it.

"Have you felt it?"

"I, I..." Jiang Ling withdrew her hand subconsciously, but his hand had long been restrained by a man, and it was futile to use force.

The heat spread to his face, Jiang Ling didn't feel that the private room was getting cooler, he wanted to go out and enjoy the cool breeze to cool himself down.

The young man's face was dyed crimson, and his complexion became more intense, and Xiao Shengyun's eyes darkened.

"Kuukou." There was a knock on the private room door.

"Someone is here, let me go." Hearing the knock on the door, Jiang Ling seemed to be pardoned.

Xiao Shengyun slightly regretted letting go of Jiang Ling's hand.

After a while, Xie Siyao brought Yang Xu in.

"Your Highness's private room is still comfortable, and there are two more basins of ice than others." Xie Siyao unceremoniously found a place to sit down and called Yang Xu to sit with him.

"How does Gu not know, when did the Xie family cut off your ice use?" Xiao Shengyun glanced at him, no one would be happy when a good thing was interrupted.

"Your Highness's vision is also good." Xie Siyao didn't answer, he just said casually, not really complaining about the lack of ice.

While the two were talking, Jiang Ling moved to the side. The atmosphere just now made his heart beat faster, and he subconsciously wanted to escape.

Before she moved a foot, her waist tightened, and the man hugged her waist, and the distance between the two became closer.

Seeing this scene, Xie Siyao lowered his head and poured himself a glass of wine without making a sound.

He seemed to understand that it might not be the right time for him to come, no wonder the prince's tone was like that.

Yang Xu kept in mind what Xie Siyao had said to him before he came here, he kept his eyes on his nose and his heart, and didn't pay much attention to the young man sitting next to the prince.

He is very grateful to the princess who pulled him out of the quagmire, but he also knows that he is not strong enough now, and forcing him to get over will only bring trouble to the princess.

The stone appreciation banquet had not officially started, and the guests invited to the auction house gathered together in twos and threes, either chatting with friends, or taking the opportunity to build relationships with others.

Jiang Yaohua also came.

Ever since Jiang Ling became the Crown Princess, his life has become more and more unsatisfactory day by day, and he simply doubts whether he and Jiang Ling are naturally incompatible.

Because of the dowry, Mrs. Jiang was dismissed, and Jiang Zhiyuan promoted Aunt Yue as a noble concubine. Jiang Xu, who was born by Aunt Yue, fell into Jiang Zhiyuan's eyes. Compared with Jiang Yaohua, who had nothing to do, Jiang Xu, who was courageous and intelligent, won Jiang Zhiyuan's heart. .

Jiang Xu took his place, and he was able to get along with the officials' children with ease, and he was more like the son of Shangshufu than him.

In the corner, Jiang Yaohua stared at Jiang Xu who was surrounded by the crowd, and the hostility in his heart continued to expand.

After getting acquainted with Jiang Ling, the Ninth Prince saw that Jiang Yaohua was a human being and no longer trusted him. Without the help of the Ninth Prince, Jiang Yaohua was in a more difficult situation. Jiang Xu took the opportunity to get close to the Ninth Prince. The second is to tell the Ninth Prince that Jiang Yaohua's position next to the Ninth Prince can be easily banned.

"This king just met Brother Jiang, maybe he will come over later," the Ninth Prince patted Jiang Xu on the shoulder, "You are much better than Jiang Yaohua, what conflicts did you have with Brother Jiang in the past, if Brother Jiang comes later, you can Make it clear once and for all."

"Think about Your Highness." Jiang Xu smiled gently.

In the private room, Jiang Ling finally broke free from Xiao Shengyun's embrace, and sat down to eat some snacks.

Xiao Shengyun took a piece and fed it to his mouth: "This is unique to the auction house, you can't eat it outside, try it."

Jiang Ling stood in a stalemate with the dim sum that was handed to her mouth for a while, but couldn't resist the temptation of the dim sum, so she opened her mouth and took a bite.

Xie Siyao watched in amazement.

"If you have nothing to do, I can arrange something for you." Xiao Shengyun's voice was cool.

"Don't, I still want to find someone to share with me what I haven't finished." Xie Siyao lowered his head and took a sip of wine, "Jiang Shangshu seems to be planning to abandon Jiang Yaohua, his son. high."

"Jiang Xu?" Jiang Ling swallowed the pastry a few times. Isn't this the protagonist Shou in the original book? "Is he on good terms with the Third Prince?"

"Does he have friendship with the third prince? I don't know this. I only know that he has recently won the favor of the ninth prince. The ninth prince takes him with him wherever he goes."

"Drink your wine, what are you talking about so much?" Xiao Shengyun's tone was displeased.

After drinking a pot of wine, Xie Siyao took Yang Xu away under the prince's unfriendly eyes.

"Does Your Highness dislike us disturbing him?" Yang Xu was worried. He begged Xie Siyao to bring him here. Otherwise, with his current status, it would be so easy for him to meet the prince.

"He doesn't want us to disturb his relationship with the Crown Princess." Xie Siyao shook the fan in his hand, "How is the investigation of the Zheng family's affairs going?"

Should it be said that Yang Xu is really a very capable person, with his mother's grievances ahead of him, entrusting him with the investigation of the Zheng family will be more effective with less effort.

Xie Siyao sighed slightly in his heart, touched the crown prince's Nilin, the Zheng family's good life should come to an end.

"The investigation is almost complete. Their methods are not very clever, and many places are very rough in the end. It is not difficult to investigate." Yang Xu replied.

"Without that person's unconditional favor, how many days can the Zheng family be able to play?" Xie Siyao said in a cold tone, "The evil that I have done will come back to me sooner or later."

The friendship between Jiang Xu and the Ninth Prince is a plot that is not in the original book. Jiang Ling thought about it, but she was still a little concerned, and grabbed Xiao Shengyun's sleeve: "Your Highness, I want to visit the Ninth Prince's place."

"Do you want to see the Ninth Prince, or Jiang Xu?"

Feeling that the man's tone was wrong, Jiang Ling raised her head in doubt: "Your Highness doesn't want me to go? Why?"

"It's not that I don't want you to go, it's just that..." Xiao Chengyun certainly wouldn't restrict Jiang Ling from making friends. Is the prince on good terms?"

"Unfamiliar."

If not, how could Jiang Ling know something that even Xie Siyao didn't know?

Xiao Chengyun held Jiang Ling's wrist, and slowly stroked it: "Does Ling'er have a secret to hide from Gu?"

"No." Jiang Ling looked away guiltily. He had only read the original book and knew that the two were a couple in the original book. He couldn't tell the prince directly that this world is a book, right?

"Ling'er is lying."

Realizing that something was wrong, Jiang Ling wanted to stay away, but it was too late.

His wrist was held, the man lowered his head, first kissed the inside of his wrist, and then bit down lightly.

"Lying is punishable."
