When Chai Yan heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and said immediately: "Brother, has His Highness the Crown Prince agreed?"
Zhao Cong smiled and said: "I agreed! The Crown Princess just left not long ago, and she came here specifically to tell me the good news."
Chai Yan quickly picked up the wine glass, toasted, and then drank it.
Zhao Cong said: "Come to my eldest brother in three days. The Crown Princess will send someone close to you to pick you up. Follow her and everything will be arranged!"
"I know, brother!" Chai Yan was very happy.
After receiving the good news, Chai Yan became excited, and Jiuxing also came up. He and Zhao Cong were chatting and laughing while drinking and eating food, and the atmosphere was great.
From the conversation, Chai Yan also learned something about Zhao Cong.
Zhao Cong is the brother-in-law of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the eldest son of the Zhao family. However, he did not go to school to gain fame, but chose the path of business.
Zhao Cong said that he was stupid and that he was not suitable for writing, reciting poems and writing about other things. However, Chai Yan discovered from his words and deeds that Zhao Cong was not what he said, drinking wine and eating meat, inadvertently.
One or two good sentences will pop out from time to time.
Chai Yan asked Zhao Cong what he was doing, and Zhao Cong counted them one by one for Chai Yan.
Chai Yan was shocked after hearing this. Zhao Cong's business basically covered "food, clothing, housing and transportation", but Zhao Cong himself did not participate in the operation. He was only responsible for investment. He had people to help him take care of the business, and then he lay down
Just collect the money from home.
Chai Yan was filled with envy when he heard this. This is also the life he wants!
-----------------------
Three days passed in the blink of an eye...
On the day of going to the Prince's Mansion, Chai Yan came to the Zhao Mansion early in the morning. Last time, Zhao Cong only asked him to come and wait for someone today, but did not specify the specific time. He came early because he was worried about making a mistake.
It was not until the afternoon when the sun began to set that the people sent by the Crown Princess came to the Zhao Mansion.
The person who came was a young eunuch, about fifteen or sixteen years old. His face was powdered and made-up like the other eunuchs.
"Mr. Chai, the time is just right, let's set off now." The young eunuch was very polite to Chai Yan, and he must have been warned by the princess.
Chai Yan said goodbye to Zhao Cong, and then rode a carriage to the Prince's Mansion.
This was not the first time Chai Yan came to the Prince's Mansion, but this time they did not go through the main entrance, and the carriage stopped directly outside the back door of the Prince's Mansion.
Before getting off the bus, the young eunuch handed Chai Yan a bundle and said: "Mr. Chai, please put on the clothes in the bundle. You can't go in wearing this, it will attract too much attention..."
Chai Yan guessed that this was the arrangement of the Crown Princess, and without any hesitation, he unpacked his bag and took out his clothes.
"What kind of clothes are these?" Chai Yan looked at the clothes in his hands curiously.
The young eunuch replied: "Mr. Chai, these are the clothes of the troupe. There will be a performance by the troupe at the banquet tonight. This is just right for you to wear when walking."
Chai Yan nodded, and then prepared to change clothes, but when he saw that the little eunuch was still looking at him and had no intention of getting out of the car, he smiled and said: "Father-in-law, why don't you get out of the car first, and I will change soon."
OK."
The little eunuch was a little dissatisfied, but he still got out of the car and thought to himself: You are a man, what can you not see? Huh, how pretentious!
Chai Yan hurriedly put on his troupe clothes, got off the car, and followed the little eunuch into the Prince's Mansion.
After a while, the young eunuch took Chai Yan to a side hall.
"Master Chai, please be sure to wait here quietly," the young eunuch said.
After that, the little eunuch closed the door and left.
After waiting for about a stick of incense, there were some footsteps outside the hall, which sounded like women's footsteps.
Then the door opened, and a young maid appeared at the door. Chai Yan looked familiar, and suddenly remembered that she was the maid beside the Crown Princess. He had met her once in the Zhao Mansion that day.
After the maid opened the door, she immediately stepped aside, and the face of the Crown Princess appeared.
"Sorry for keeping Mr. Chai waiting for so long!"
The Crown Princess apologized and walked in across the threshold.
"Chai Yan, I have met the Crown Princess!" Chai Yan said politely.
"Keep an eye outside." The princess turned around and ordered.
"Yes." The maid responded and immediately closed the palace door.
The Crown Princess walked to the chair and sat down, and at the same time motioned for Chai Yan to sit down as well.
After Chai Yan sat down, the Crown Princess said: "Mr. Chai, the banquet will not start for more than an hour, so I feel sorry for you to stay here for a while. The main reason why I arranged for you to come here early is because I am worried about the delay.
There are many people with mixed eyesight at this time, I hope you can understand..."
"Understood, understood!" Chai Yan said with a smile: "It's only an hour, it will pass if you take a nap, it will be quick..."
The Crown Princess also smiled and continued: "Mr. Chai, this is what I have arranged. During the banquet later, I will find an opportunity to bring Miss Jimo You here to see you. However, His Highness the Crown Prince has something to say first. In order to
In order not to make the high priest of Jimo suspicious, the time you two meet cannot exceed two quarters of an hour. Do you have any objection to this?"
"No, no! Two-quarters of an hour is enough... I'm very happy to meet Yuan. Thank you, Princess!" Chai Yan said gratefully.
The Crown Princess smiled slightly, then straightened her face: "Remember, don't run around during this period!"
Chai Yan immediately said: "No, no, I'm not going anywhere, I'm just staying here! Please rest assured, Princess..."
The Crown Princess smiled and nodded, turned around and left.
Chai Yan suddenly remembered a question and called out to the Crown Princess: "Um... Crown Princess, I have a question..."
"What's the question?" The Crown Princess looked at Chai Yan, waiting for him to ask the question so that he could answer it.
Chai Yan asked sheepishly: "Princess, what if... what if I need to urinate urgently? There doesn't seem to be a latrine here..."
While waiting for the Crown Princess to come, Chai Yan looked all over the place and found no trace of the latrine.
The Crown Princess pointed to a small door in a leisurely manner and said, "Don't worry, go out from that door and keep walking. There is a latrine behind."
Chai Yan looked back at the small door and nodded quickly: "It turns out it's at the back, haha. Then I'll be relieved, haha..."
"Do you have any other questions?" the princess asked with a gentle face.
Chai Yan quickly waved his hand: "No, no, no more, Princess, walk slowly..."
"Remember to lock the door. Don't open the door unless I'm here!" the princess warned and left.
Chai Yan hurried forward, followed the princess' instructions, closed the door and bolted it, and returned to the palace.
Looking at the empty palace, thinking that he would see the kite later, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous and excited...
PS: After the update is completed, I should not ask for leave again this month, uh... probably not...
