Bei Mingxun smiled lightly and sat in the inn where Nangong Baiye stayed. The sunlight came in and hit his perfect side face, even his light-colored lips were stained with luster.
He made a fist with one hand, pressed it to his lips, coughed twice slightly, and the fragrance of medicine exuded from his lips and teeth: "This is what my father meant. He hopes that you can take advantage of this opportunity to choose a concubine.
Your strengths are to find the real culprit."
"Haha..." Nangong Baiye raised his thin lips shrewdly, tears welling up in his eyes: "It turns out that choosing a concubine is a fake, and asking me to investigate the case is real. Appearing as a beautiful girl can, on the one hand, protect the ministers.
Our daughter, and the other is using me as bait to lure the murderer into taking the bait. Your Majesty is truly capable of ruling a country through military force, able to secure peace through civility, and is smart and smart. He is simply too smart."
Could it be that Bei Mingxun couldn't hear the faint mockery in those words? He softened his face and said with warmth in his eyes: "Don't worry, I will be there when the time comes and I won't let you get hurt."
Nangong Baiye was stunned for a moment: "Oh."
As if he realized that he was speaking too intimately, Bei Mingxun took a sip of tea, but the smile on his lips did not change.
Nangong Baiye raised his eyebrows: "However, I feel that I am really not suitable to participate in the concubine selection. I have been engaged and married before, and I also have a four or five-year-old child. If I enter the palace under such circumstances,
, some people will also discuss it.”
"The choice of concubine is originally decided by the royal family." Bei Mingxun put down the teacup in his hand and said with a heavy cough: "What's more, you are just going through the process. Father's words are the imperial decree, and no one dares to disobey it.
.except you."
At the end of the sentence, there was a hint of smile in the coughing sound.
Nangong Baiye also smiled, but she didn't talk to her. She tapped her fingers on the wooden table intermittently. This was the action she was most accustomed to doing before discussing business.
Nangong Xiaomiao poked her little head out from behind her and looked back and forth. Her round eyes had already turned into the symbol of silver.
"Xiao Meow." Nangong Baiye stopped knocking, took his hand back, and called his son.
Nangong Xiaomiao immediately straightened her back: "Here!"
"Tell Your Highness the rules of our Qingcheng Mountain." Nangong Baiye's eyes curved into crescent moons.
Nangong Xiaomiao nodded her head heavily, then shook her unsteady little body, and said with a serious face: "We are all about credibility when doing business, and starting well and ending well is our principle. However, we also have to take on cases.
It pays attention to the difficulty. The higher the difficulty, the higher the price. Only in this way can we maintain our enthusiasm for solving the case! As for how much enthusiasm we have, it depends on how much money His Highness can give you?"
Liu Yun, who was standing behind Bei Mingxun, twitched the corner of his mouth. To put it bluntly, he just wanted to increase the price!
This mother and son simply don’t know how high the sky is and how high it is.
The Holy Spirit asks them to do things because he thinks highly of them.
They actually want to reach out for money?
Nangong Baiye didn't need to guess, just looking at Liu Yun's slightly contemptuous face, she knew what he was thinking.
She curved her lips and smiled: "While we were discussing business, I suddenly remembered that the Third Highness had not paid the deposit last time."
"You..." Liuyun couldn't stop talking!
Bei Mingxun glanced at him lightly, the coldness in his eyes was obvious.
Liuyun immediately shut up and retreated politely.
"Go and get the wooden box from the sedan chair." Bei Mingxun ordered with a smile.
Liu Yun replied respectfully, and in the blink of an eye, he dragged a small wooden box in his hand. The box was silver-white, and the lock was exquisitely made. It looked a bit like the craftsmanship of ancient Europe. The price was certainly not high.
Low.
It seems that all the princes are rich, but the perverted senior brother is a bit too much, Nangong Baiye thought secretly.
Snap...
The lock on the box was opened, and ten silver ingots were placed in the box!
Bei Mingxun stretched out his hand and pushed the box forward: "These are your deposit."
Nangong Baiye and Nangong Xiaomiao looked at each other, and then... each took a silver ingot, hugged it and gnawed it!
"Mom, it's true!" The little man waved his little paws happily.
Nangong Baiye smiled with a pair of dimples: "Very good, since His Highness the Third Highness is so sincere, the business can continue, but I have one condition, I want to take my son to choose the concubine!"
Taking your son to choose a concubine? Do you really think your family owns the palace? Liu Yun rolled his eyes and became impatient.
Nangong Baiye continued: "He can dress up as my servant."
Such a small servant... Liuyun burst into tears. Are you trying to compete with them for jobs?!
"In short, he must stay by my side." Nangong Baiye put the silver ingot back into the wooden box: "If His Highness the Third Prince feels embarrassed, the deposit can be taken back and we can cooperate again in the future if we have the opportunity."
Nangong Xiaomiao knew that his mother loved Yinzi, and he also knew that no matter how much his mother loved Yinzi, she would always put him first.
Moreover, the reason why she values Yinzi so much is entirely because of him...
The little man seemed to have recalled some bad memories, and his two little ears drooped in frustration.
Nangong Baiye took him over and put him on his lap, looking at Bei Mingxun with a smile that never diminished.
Bei Mingxun hummed, and passed his finger across the porcelain cup: "You can take Xiaomei with you, and dress him up as a servant as you said."
"I also have a condition!" Nangong Xiaomiao said in a very low voice: "Mom, can Xiaomiao bring Hei Xiaosi over?"
Bei Mingxun laughed: "As the young master of the Hei family, Hei Si is responsible for protecting the beautiful girl this time."
"That means Hei Xiaosi and I can both enter the palace? Yeah!" The little man jumped up and ran towards the house, muttering to himself as he ran: "Xiao Meow, you need to be more prepared.
A rope. The last rope was broken by that guy Hei Xiaosi. What did he eat to grow up? It’s too difficult to tame..."
Liu Yun's face was filled with dark thoughts. This child just said that he wanted to... tame... raise... the young master of the Hei family who likes to fight?!
"Xiao Miao seems to like Hei Si very much." Bei Mingxun smiled very elegantly, with a deep meaning in the smile on his lips.
Nangong Baiye chuckled twice. She really didn't know how to answer this confusing question, so she drank two more cups of tea with Bei Mingxun before sending him off.
During this period, Beiming Liancheng had been lying in the Demon Palace, his tall and stalwart body leaning lazily on the natural black fur blanket, his slender fingers clasping a transparent glass, dressed in ascetic black clothes
The robe was half open, revealing his well-textured chest. His skin was very white but full of strength, like a fine sword, with smooth and bright lines, full of noble sex appeal.
It is a kind of crazy charm that seems to be able to seduce people's hearts easily.
But, no matter how elegant it is.
It's hard to hide the evil radiating from his eyes...
