Feng Ning Yan's face slowly turned red. She shyly pushed away Shen Ling Jue's hand. "You liar …"
At this time, eight young girls dressed in red came out from the back of the hall and stood on both sides of the eagle seat.
Following that, a loud jingling sound came from the back of the hall. Immediately afterwards, a lady dressed in red came out from the back of the hall.
She walked like the wind, her dress fluttering, barely touching the ground, the soles of her red embroidered shoes as white as snow.
The woman looked to be around seventeen or eighteen years old. Her facial features were rather delicate, and she did not laugh, but there were two dimples in her cheeks. Her eyes were round and big, and she had an innocent look.
Seeing Shen Ling Jue, she giggled, "floating" in front of the seat, gently sitting down.
As soon as she spoke, she spoke in a babyish voice, causing Feng Ningyan to be shocked.
"I've been looking forward to this day and night. I finally have a chance to see His Highness King Yu!" These maids have already gathered a lot of your portraits for me, but upon seeing them, they realized that they were all drawn by a blind person! "Your beauty is not something that can be depicted with calligraphy or calligraphy …"
Only then did Feng Ningyan realize that the portrait hanging on the wall was indeed collected by this Pavilion Master for his love for Shen Lingjue.
A strange sour feeling surged into his heart.
Only now did Shen Ling Jue notice the row of his own portraits on the wall. He couldn't help but let out a light cough, and laughed: "You … Was he the Pavilion Master of the Interpretation Pavilion? This King thought... "
"Does Your Highness think that the Pavilion Master of the Interpretation Chamber is a scheming old woman?"
The Pavilion Master smiled. The dimples on his face only made her appear more charming.
As she spoke, she walked down from her seat and came to a stone table. With both hands on her cheeks, she stared at Shen Ling Jue in infatuation.
"One year ago, the Pavilion Master was indeed an old woman. Before she passed on the Pavilion of Interpretation to her most prized disciple, me. If her Master was still alive, with her character as a rooster, she definitely wouldn't have so much important news to give to His Highness. "Speaking of which, Your Highness, you look really good …"
"Puff …" Feng Ning Yan almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
She was truly a lovestruck person! I've been facing this Shen Ling Jue every day, why didn't I find him beautiful! I really don't know why so many girls like this one of his …
Shen Ling Jue rubbed the tip of his nose and took a few steps back. With a smile, he said, "The Pavilion Master likes to laugh, while the Royal Concubine is by his side. This King never dares to say that he looks good."
"Puff …" Feng Ning Yan suffered another internal injury.
She fiercely glared at Shen Ling Jue, thinking to herself: You narcissistic brat, you clearly said every day that I covet your beauty, but now you pretend to be modest in front of outsiders! How hypocritical!
At this moment, the Pavilion Master finally shifted her gaze away from Shen Ling Jue, inadvertently glancing at Feng Ning Yan.
She was stunned by what she saw. Her eyes, which were originally large and round, were now even rounder and larger than before.
"This is …" Wang … Wang … "Consort?"
Her face immediately turned red, and she grabbed Feng Ning Yan's hand. "Little sister Wangfei!" You are so beautiful! "
Feng Ning Yan was so frightened that she hastily pulled back her hand, but the Speaker Pavilion Master's grip was too tight, and she couldn't shake him off.
"That... Is that all Pavilion Master praises people for? " Her palms broke out in cold sweat. "Can we change it to something else?"
"Esteemed wangfei, you're so handsome!"
Shen Ling Jue had successfully lured the trouble to the east, and couldn't help but snicker.
The Pavilion Master was indeed a person who was infatuated with beauty, and it turned out that both men and women were able to eat the same thing.
Ever since she had taken a proper look at Feng Ningyan, she had decided to hang a portrait of Feng Ningyan on the other side of the hall.
After some idle chatter, Bai Pi and Jiang Xue brought the head of the Speaker Pavilion back to his throne. Only then did Feng Ningyan extricate herself from her evil clutches.
Upon sitting on the throne, the Pavilion Master of the Pavilion of Interpretation finally turned a little more serious, bringing up the important matter at hand.
"I was actually asking for directions when we received the news of the ambush. With the death of the old Pavilion Master, the previous customers did not believe in the little girl and thus, their business did not go as well. "This little girl thinks that I need to find a backer. Of course, the best candidate would be Your Highness King Yu …"
"So, I'll first let His Highness see my strength, then we can discuss on cooperation."
Feng Ningyan thought to herself, since the Pavilion of Explanation is well-informed, then if Shen Ling Jue can take it in for his own use, then he can predict the enemy's movements first. This is a good thing!
Shen Ling Jue laughed lightly, "The imperial court and the martial arts world have always been at odds. The martial arts sects have always been unwilling to follow the rules of the imperial government, and I presume the old pavilion master's principles are the same. Why did you break the rules on the stage?"
When the Pavilion Master heard Shen Ling Jue question her, he couldn't help feeling sorrowful.
"Ai, I don't know how expensive Chai Mi is until I become the boss. Prince only saw that I have a few martial sisters and servants here, but we have many spies outside. If we don't have the fees, who would work for us? But I have my principles. "
"What principle?" Feng Ning Yan saw how glib this Pavilion Master's tone was and found it hard to believe that she had any principles.
The Pavilion Master clapped his hands, pointed at Shen Ling Jue and said, "Of course we should choose the safest backer, it will be mutually beneficial."
Then she laughed and said, "The current crown prince is headstrong, irritable and difficult to get along with. If we work with him, we will definitely be eaten whole, and we will have to work hard, so how can we work together? "There's no need to talk about Prince Cheng. What did he go to the Henan Prefecture for? That really makes people scared …"
Shen Ling Jue's gaze turned cold as he stared at the Pavilion Master, "What did Prince Cheng do?"
Before the Pavilion Master could speak, Bai Pi hastily stood in front of the Pavilion Master, "This is a secret. If Your Highness wishes to know, five hundred liang."
Feng Ning Yan hugged her arms and sneered: "Five hundred gold? Did you know that five hundred liang is enough for ordinary people to eat for a lifetime? Your Interpretation Pavilion is a hack shop? "
The pavilion master pushed Bai Pi away and smiled, "We are all friends, it is normal to raise money. As soon as he arrived at Henan Province, he secretly searched the mansions and courtyards of the former Henan Kingdom's King Yan Zhong, and didn't let go of even his best friend Hua Kui. That night, he searched and found evidence of the crown prince's corruption, such as embezzlement of two million taels of silver, embezzlement of the Yellow River Dam construction funds, and secretly building an imperial palace in Luoyang … "
As she slowly spoke, she heard Feng Ningyan and Shen Ling Jue's bodies break out in cold sweat, angrily clenching their fists.
It was no wonder that the Crown Prince had come to help Wang Yanzhong hide the Yellow River from the flood. He had used the Henan Province as a purse and Wang Yanzhong as a drain on his money. It didn't matter how hard the people suffered, as long as they could get their hands on the silver, the sky would collapse and the earth collapse.
Feng Ning's face turned green as she slammed the stone table, "I already said that if the crown prince ascends the throne, the citizens will not live in peace! "As expected, he hasn't become the emperor yet. He's already so extravagant, but he deserves to die …"
Shen Ling Jue pulled her down and made her sit down. In a low voice, he said, "Don't worry. The Crown Prince is going to meet his end on the day we return to the capital!"
