Wang Zhenqing replied, "I asked the head, Lord Yin Changlong. He said that there must be a special pardon order, in order to show the benevolence and magnanimity of the Emperor. However, we do not know who to grant amnesty to. "

"Oh …" "Thank you, Brother Chenqing …" Dongfang Zhongyu's thoughts immediately turned elsewhere, trying to figure out how to get Qi Chuyan to take on this special pardon. Li Zhuangxian did not know about this. He asked in bewilderment, "Brother Dongfang, why do you ask about the amnesty?"

"Nothing …" Dongfang Zhongyue thought for a bit and said, "I won't hide it from my two bros. Han Yancui was indeed the one who helped me in the past, Miss Qi. That year, I promised to help her out of the school." "Oh …" Li Zhuangxian and Wang Zhenqing looked at each other, "That shouldn't be too hard, right?"

Wang Zhenqing hesitated for a moment, "Let me think of a way! "But, Miss Qi's identity …?" Dongfang Zhongyu was also very worried, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Wang Zhenqing saw that he was worried, as if there were endless things on his mind. His handsome face turned serious, cold, and his sharp lips were tightly pressed together. His eyes were deep and gloomy. Even if it doesn't work, there's no need to be discouraged. In the end, there will still be a way. "

"Ugh …" The more Dongfang Zhong realized he had lost his composure, he immediately put on a smile, "Thank you so much, Brother Chenqing. "I admire Ji Bu Yiran and always want to emulate her. I didn't expect that my promise back then was a bit hasty." Hehe … A promise cannot be given lightly! " Li Zhuangxian said with a smile, "Especially towards women."

"Oh …" "From Brother Zhuang's words, it seems that you have had an unusual experience?" No, No... "Don't look at me, definitely not." Li Zhuangxian's face turned red. Anyone could tell that he was lying.

Wang Zhenqing didn't join in the banter. He secretly observed Zhong Yue in the east and felt a sense of déjà vu …

When the banquet was about to begin, a commotion suddenly sounded from the front yard. As they leaned slightly, Bi Sihai led a few people into the back garden. The one in front was Jin Shazhi, behind him was Yue Jiangchuan and the rest of the group, as well as the flag officers of the Northern Fountain Division, including Yang Zhongkun and Wang Tianwei.

Dongfang Zhongyu didn't expect them to come so he quickly stood up to greet them. There were too many people, so he placed another table in the garden. Wang Zhenliang also rushed over when they were serving the dishes one after another. The few officers of the Northern Fountain Division found it strange that Dongfang Yu was living in such a large house. After hearing the introductions, they found out that those people were either princesses or princesses' sons. They couldn't figure out who he was …

Qiu Qiandai didn't seem to have calmed down yet, but he still remained silent while eating, not even sparing a glance at Princess Baoqing. Princess Baoqing took the initiative to express her goodwill and help him carry the dishes, but she was stopped by Qiu Qiandai. She was so angry that she lost her temper and threw her chopsticks on the floor, saying, "Are you even a man? Can you remember something as big as sesame seed for a day? Is there any future? "

Qiu Qiandai rolled his eyes and ignored him. Princess Baoqingyu was so angry that she stopped eating and just stared at him. The Wang brothers and Li Zhuangxian were both her nieces, so it was hard to say anything, so she had to be persuaded by Dongfang Zhongyue.

After persuading for a long time, the two of them were still struggling. Dongfang Zhongyue was also helpless. After the banquet ended, Dongfang Zhongzhong tried to ask Qiu Qiandai what was going on. Qiu Qiandai stammered, but he couldn't explain it clearly. All he said was that he hated Princess Baoqing, so he didn't bother anyone when he saw her. Dongfang Zhongyu couldn't figure out what was going on, so he had no choice but to give up …

It's hard on the road, and I don't have time to sleep. When we get home, we'll have time and conditions, and we won't be sleepy. Dongfang Zhong got up early and paid a visit to Baili Qingcang and Zhao Ziyu. He came back and taught Qiu Qiandai a few palm techniques.

Qiu Qiandai was practicing in the garden. The more Dongfang Zhong sat on the side and watched, the more uneasy he felt. He always felt that there was something he had not done. After breakfast, the feeling became more and more intense, as if his butt had been nailed down. Dongfang Zhongyu instructed Qiu Qiandai to practice by himself as he left the house on his own.

He had always been thinking about Qi Chuyan from the bottom of his heart, but he just hadn't realized it. After following the stone bridge over the river, they arrived at the Fu Temple on the other side. Unknowingly, they had arrived at the former Divine Artefact Workshop in the middle of the east.

At this time, the people had changed, and the Shen Ji Workshop had long since been changed to a salt shop sign. Today was a perfect day for this. The people on Cross Street were like the tide, and a drop of water from the sky could smash two or three people.

At the front of the building, there was a group of people standing on the first floor to the left. The more he looked at the rankings in the east, the more he realized that there were no changes to the four rankings. The gang rankings had not changed, the Martial Arts Ranking s seemed to have not changed, and the beauties' rankings had not changed … The new person called Nangong Wushuang actually took fifth place.

The top two spots on the list were still empty as usual, and below them were still Zhu Gaosui, himself, and Wang Zhenqing … He still didn't understand why the first two were still empty. Since he had nothing better to do today, he went over to ask after seeing a few people discussing the details of the ranking list.

A white faced man holding a fan laughed and said, "Young brother, you don't care about Smoke Rankings at first glance. Let me ask you, who is the biggest man in the Ming Dynasty?" Dongfang Zhongyu slightly frowned. "Of course, the emperor is the biggest! However … What does the gongzi ranking have to do with power? "

"Of course," said the pale-faced man. "We must respect the Emperor! "Otherwise, when would I have the chance to anger the Pavilion of Ascending Mist again?" Oh... "That's right," Dongfang Jingyue nodded. "Since the first one is the Emperor, who is going to keep the second one?" Crown Prince! Little brother, why isn't your brain enlightened? "

Dongfang Zhongyue chuckled, and cupped his fists and asked: "Brother, you really understand, why are there no queens or princesses on the list of beauties?" Little brother, have you ever studied? " The white-masked man smiled and said, "What do you mean by 'a gold house with a tender body'? Could the Emperor's and the Crown Prince's women be shown to others? "Originally, Zhang Xiyue was ranked first on the list of beauties, but once she became the princess consort, she would immediately be disqualified. Do you understand now?"

Dongfang Zhongyue smiled and bowed, "Listening to your words is better than ten years of study!" As she turned around, she wondered what the princess consort looked like if she was ranked higher than Han Yancui …

At that time, the production of salt was small due to the technology restriction, so the salt bureau's business was good. There was a single shaft car parked 30 steps south of the line. A woman in pink clothes walked out from the back door of the salt bureau and got into the car.

"Eh …?" Dongfang Zhongyu's eyes were sharp, even though he was dozens of steps away he recognized Han Yancui. "What is she doing here? Was Feng Zhiling still using her to buy salt? Besides, there's no need to go through the back door to buy salt! "

Han Yancui got on the carriage and the coachman immediately led the horse to the south. The more she thought about it, the more confused she felt. How was Feng Huiju going south when he was in the east city? Since he had nothing to do, he decided to investigate further.

The limousine left the Confucius Temple and headed straight for the Qinhuai River. When it reached the embankment and turned west, Zhong Yue seemed to have understood something and assumed that she was heading for the pier. Even though the horses were fast, they were only ordinary people. Dongfang Zhong took a deep breath and then steadily followed.

After walking a little more than three hundred steps, he reached the cruise ship docks. He saw that the car had stopped and Han Yancui had got off the car to pay the driver. He suddenly raised his head and beckoned to him. It was even more strange in the East because there were no windows behind the car. How did she know she was following?

While she was hesitating, Han Yancui had already boarded a pleasure boat. However, she didn't set off immediately, as if she was waiting for him. The more Middle Eastern thought about it, the more he decided to rush over to board the ship. Han Yancui stood in the cabin and looked at him with a smile, "Young Master Dongfang, what a coincidence!"

Han Yancui had always been a bit mysterious and indiscernible, which caused Zhong Yue to suppress his intimacy. He then bowed and said, "It's not a coincidence, I followed them from the Fu Temple." Is that so? Come in and have a talk. " "Han Yancui gently parted her red lips, making her face look like a peach, her eyes like the autumn waves, and her clear eyes like white teeth. It was a sight to behold.

As soon as they entered the cabin in the east, Han Yancui ordered the steamers to start the boat and the maidservants to put up their guest plates. The cabin was very spacious, and the two of them didn't feel awkward sitting together. Han Yancui asked, "Why haven't you come to Feng Rong Restaurant in such a long time? If it wasn't for the fact that it was my turn to leave the pleasure boat today, I wouldn't have seen you!"

Dongfang Zhongyue also knew that the pleasure boats were a way for the various courts to attract business and win over customers. Feeling a bit relieved, he answered, "I went on a trip to Yuan Zhou's restaurant and only came back yesterday. I originally wanted to visit you today, but didn't expect to meet you on the way. "Oh right, I see that you came out of the salt pan...?"

"Oh …" Han Yancui smiled and said, "That salt pan was opened by Boss Shen. He said that I asked him to bring some of the tea that came with Zhejiang East Rain. Since I have some free time today, I came to get it." As he said that, he pointed to the paper bag on the table, "I'm getting someone to boil some water. I'll treat you to a taste later." These words were flawless, and couldn't help but make Dongfang Zhong more and more unconvinced.

While they were talking, the young maid brought the boiling water in. Han Yancui took the cup and personally made tea, telling her not to invite them in.

Han Yancui's tea set was made of purple sand. She poured water into a teapot, heated up a cup and poured water into it. The faint aroma of tea immediately wafted out. Dongfang Zhongyu couldn't help but to praise, "Good tea!"

Han Yancui tilted her head and looked over, smiling as she asked, "You already know before you drink? "It might just be a facade!" No, "Dongfang Zhongyue shook his head:" I've been drinking tea since I was young, so I know a little about it. The fragrance is too strong, only after drinking it into your mouth will it become tasteless. Truly good tea is this kind of faint and delicate fragrance, the more you drink it, the more tasty it becomes. "

Han Yancui poured a cup of tea and gave it to him. The tea broth was indeed a top-quality tea, "Young Master Dongfang had a lot to drink! "So what does your family do?" At that time, tea was not a popular commodity, especially good quality tea.

It did not occur to Dongfang Zhongyu to ask such a question. He hesitated before replying," My family has been around for generations, and my grandfather is a country squire of Huainan. We haven't had a problem drinking tea yet. " So, Young Master Dongfang came from a Prominent Class. "Han Yancui asked casually," What kind of disaster did you encounter?

"This question was not easy to answer, and for a time, the people from the East couldn't speak." Han Yancui smiled apologetically, "If it's not convenient, then there's no need to talk about it." It's not that it's inconvenient, "Dongfang Zexuan sighed, looking out of the cabin door," My father was a straightforward person who offended the government, and his entire family was killed.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked those sad things." Han Yancui said softly, but her eyes were focused on his face. "Young Master Dongfang abandoned literature and martial arts to avenge his family, right?" Dongfang Zhongyu was suddenly shocked …
