Several young slaves, including Pei Yan, hid behind a stone pillar when they passed by the main entrance of the Shouxing Mansion for purchasing.

He poked his head, eagerly looking for that beautiful figure, and heard that Princess Ning'an was returning to the palace.

But the one who gave her to her was not the eldest princess of Changle, but a noble young man in a snow robe. His black hair was tied up by a small silver crown inlaid with jade. The silver crown was covered with shiny white jade, and there were silver on the collar and cuffs.

The moiré pattern flowing along the silk edge shows everywhere that his identity is by no means ordinary.

Fu Ying was pulled by Xie Zhou and left the Shouxian Mansion, complaining a little: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Xie Zhou did not reply to her, but stretched out his hands to lift the delicate girl up from her slender waist and carried her into the carriage: "Mammy said that Ah Ying has not been eating well recently, so she can't be gentle anymore.

”

The girl ran away from him dissatisfied and lazily leaned her back on the soft pillow beside her: "Where is it?"

But as for Xie Zhou, he conjured up a package of oiled paper from nowhere, pushed it in front of the girl like a treasure, and pursed his lips: "Look what brother brought you?"

Fuying didn't move, she was still angry about his absence from her birthday party ten days ago, and said calmly: "I don't care what you brought."

The smile on Xie Zhou's lips was soft, not annoyed. Instead, he pulled back the package and opened it with his long knuckles. In an instant, the fragrance of chestnuts filled the air, and the girl's eyes lit up with clear eyes.

Looking forward, the coming waves are better than the autumn water.

"I waited in line for two hours just to beg Ah Ying for forgiveness." The young man is as gentle and sincere as white jade.

"For the sake of chestnut cake, I'll forgive you for now." Fuying picked up a small piece with her fingers and tasted it like a greedy cat.

Xie Zhou's eyes were fixed on her empty waist. His eyes suddenly darkened, and he raised his eyebrows and asked her: "Where is the Guangzhi Queyue Jade Pendant I gave you?"

Fuying was slightly startled and felt guilty: "I wore it a few times and got tired of it, so I put it in the box."

A trace of disappointment flashed through Xie Zhou's eyes, and it disappeared in a fleeting moment. When he raised his eyes, he smiled as warmly as jade: "It doesn't matter if you don't like it. It's fine if you don't wear it. I will give you a better one."

The girl nodded vaguely and concentrated on enjoying the chestnut cake.

Pei Yan still stared blankly as he watched the carriage going further and further away. The intimate actions of the young girl and the young girl were engraved in his mind. The main road of Anrenfang was divided into two sides. On one side were people suffering from hunger, thirst, poverty and misery.

On the other side is the gold-selling cave where aristocratic families are arrogant, extravagant and extravagant.

He and they are not from the same world.

"Hey, the one just now is the eldest son of the current Taifu, Xie Zhou. I heard that he just came back from Northern Xinjiang a few days ago. Everyone said that he will be the wisest counselor in the Wei Dynasty in the future, a phoenix in the snow, with a bright future.

The beauty is immeasurable." The young attendant spoke plausibly.

Phoenix in the snow? Pei Yan thought about these words back and forth in his mind, and the look in his eyes was a little blurry and difficult to identify.

"Let's go. If you go any slower, you'll definitely get scolded by the steward." The little attendant urged him.

The young man nodded, ran through the main gate in a few steps, and entered through the small side door on the right. He met someone head-on. He was Ji Wulang's personal attendant. When he saw Pei Yan, he looked like he was blowing his beard and staring.

.

It must have been under Jigoro's instructions.

"The eldest prince will host a banquet in three days. There is a shortage of people in front of us. You should go and take the lead first."

He went to the front to serve the noble man, but he was a real fat man. No matter how many servants had sharpened their heads, they couldn't squeeze in. Why did he fall into this little horse slave for no reason?

Unbelievably nervous, Pei Yan asked: "I wonder which courtyard are you going to?"

Na Chang said casually and arrogantly: "A few days ago, the eldest princess specially sent people to transport some slaves from the Western Regions. They were usually kept in the Colosseum to prepare for the fighting competition, but the eldest princess made a temporary decision to start

On the day of the banquet, a fighting match will be held to select the best slave beater and give it to His Highness as a gift."

Then, he glanced at the weak body of the young man in front of him maliciously, and said deliberately: "The slaves have sparring partners, but one of them has smallpox. He really can't continue, so you can only take his place."

."

As soon as these words came out, the little attendant on the side provoked the injustice of Pei Yan: "How can this be done? He can only control a child who doesn't know martial arts. If he goes there, is he looking for death?"

They say they are sparring partners, but in fact they are just being used as straw targets. If they fail, they may be beaten to death. Isn’t this just naked bullying!

Chang Sui was a little unhappy: "What do you mean? You don't have any ability and you still want to stand up for others! Why don't you throw your little slave into the slave beating yard so that you can know what the rules are?

!"

Seeing that the two were about to have a conflict, Pei Yan pulled the little attendant beside him: "Who is your highness?"

Chang Sui was a little irritable: "What, Your Highness?"

Pei Yanxiao was kind and gentle: "Brother said just now that the eldest princess wants to select the most outstanding slave slave and give it to His Highness. I don't know which Highness it is for?"

Seeing that he was nice and talkative, he was also pretty and clever, and Chang Sui became a lot gentler: "Of course, Her Royal Highness Princess Ning'an."

There was a glimmer of light in the young man's eyes, which was astonishingly bright. He raised his eyes and it was her!

Although Chang Sui felt confused, he still persuaded him: "You can't escape this errand, so pack up and prepare well."

In fact, what he wanted to say was to pack up and get ready to hit the road.

But this young man has always been beautiful and energetic, which makes people feel a little unbearable, but it is only natural to do things for his master, and he can't say anything more.

She patted the young man on the shoulder regretfully and was about to leave when she heard him speak again: "Brother, if I can win against those slave beaters, will the eldest princess also give me to His Highness?"

When Chang Sui heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter. What nonsense is this fool talking about?

He bent over with laughter, and his voice was unstable: "Are you a fool? Those slaves are brought from the Western Regions, and they are of the highest quality. One punch can make you look like stars, and two punches will probably kill you.

Your brains are splattered. Do you want to win against them? In the next life..."

Ridiculous laughter kept coming, but Pei Yan looked unfazed. Seeing the people around him looking at them like fools, he didn't say much and just replied.

"I have remembered what my brother said, and I will go to the front yard before evening today."

Then, he turned around with an indifferent expression and went to do his own work.

Only the little attendant on the side looked at him with some worry: "Brother Yan, are you crazy? I have seen those slave beaters a few days ago. They are all fierce and evil, and they are two or three as big as you. If they beat you,

It’s easier than squeezing an ant to death!”

The young man kept working in his hands, looking like a young and mature man: "I know, it's okay."

……

A small bunch of gardenias outside Ning'an Hall shines with noble golden light under the sunlight. The glazed tiles inlaid on the cornices and brackets are colorful, and the flowers are indiscriminately eye-catching.

Fuying stretched her body and felt sincerely that today was a good day. The only regret was that her little gardenia was not in good spirits.

Auntie urged from the side: "Your Highness, if you don't dress up, I'm afraid it will be too late."

By the way, my aunt is hosting a banquet at the house today. As if she just remembered it, she straightened up her lazy little body and said, "I almost forgot."

Mammy helped the person over and couldn't help but smile: "I heard from the eldest princess that there is a banquet today and there are good things to give to His Highness."

Fu Ying smiled slightly, thinking that it must be a pearl hairpin. Her aunt's biggest hobby is to collect all kinds of hair accessories. The gadgets given to her can go around Chang'an City three times.

It’s not enough!

The Jinyu Pavilion in Ji Mansion is already very lively. Those graceful dancing singers, each with a veil on their face, flying like catkins, playing and laughing, enjoying wine, silk and bamboo, and the cool autumn breeze blows by.

Everything comes with a powdery fragrance.

The banquet has not officially started yet, but 90% of the guests have already packed the door. Outside the Shouxingfu Mansion, there are cars and BMWs of high-ranking officials and nobles everywhere, and it is a state of intoxication.

This was the first time for Pei Yan to see such a luxurious and extravagant autumn banquet. The long water show was reflected in his pupils, but there was no warmth at all.

Maybe if you are not careful, you will drown in this gentle cave of singing and dancing.

If you are extravagant and lustful, your decline will soon come.

He doesn't like this feeling.

The little attendant was still trying to persuade him earnestly: "Brother Yan, why don't you run away? If you run away, it will only cost you a month's money. It is more important than life!"

Pei Yan smiled faintly, as if nothing was enough to worry him: "Xiao Duo, thank you for taking care of me these days. I will be fine, and the Bodhisattva Empress will bless me."

Xiao Duo knew that she could not persuade him no matter what, so she sighed and watched the thin figure leave: "Why are you so stubborn!"

There is a Jinque Pavilion in the front yard. Its name is like a girl's boudoir. It is actually used to train slaves. Once they have developed their skills, they will be sent to the Colosseum to fight in bloody battles.

In the fighting competition, win honor for the noble eldest princess of Wei Dynasty.

The eldest princess of Changle, one loves to collect hair accessories, and the other loves to watch brutal fighting matches. She is really a very contradictory person.

Today, all the slaves in Jinque Pavilion are gearing up, because the winner among them will be given to the little princess of Ning'an, who is regarded as a pearl in the palm of the Wei royal family.

Becoming the slave of the little princess will be the honor of their lives.

But a thin boy walked towards him, causing all the slaves to look over curiously.

The young man is very tall, but his shoulders are very thin. He is dressed in mysterious clothes, with black hair hanging on his shoulders, flowing clouds, unique and charming phoenix eyes, pale skin, and slightly colorful facial features, as if he has

The power to confuse people.

Are you sure this is not a charming concubine from a certain escort company dressed as a man? Not to mention killing people with a knife, it seems like she could be stabbed down with one finger.

However, there was a strong sense of heroism between his brows, and there was no hint of femininity at all. He gently raised his hand in salute, and said in a hearty voice: "Hello, brothers."

There was a dark-skinned, tall and scary slave who raised his eyebrows condescendingly: "Who are you?"

The smile on Pei Yan's lips was carefree and free: "I am my brothers' sparring partner."

The slave who looked like a black pimple glanced disdainfully, and actually looked up to the sky and laughed: "Sparring partner? You?"

Everyone burst into laughter one after another, and then, the black lump slapped the young man on the thin shoulder: "Young little baby, those who know how to behave, please stay away!"

However, under this palm, the young man was not shaken at all.

Hei Qiaodao frowned slightly, with a bit of unwilling surprise in his eyes. He suddenly raised his foot and kicked Pei Yan in the waist and abdomen. Sure enough, the boy retreated sharply, was thrown a short distance away, and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

There seemed to be unbearable beads of sweat oozing out, and the young man's face instantly turned pale, looking sick and in pain.

Seeing this, Hei Qiaoda was convinced that the first slap was due to his negligence. He laughed with satisfaction: "It's just a sick kid!"
