no king

Chapter 30

With a dark face, he walked up to Tong Run and said slowly, "I heard everything!"

"Eh..." Tong Run covered his mouth with his hand, it's broken!It was too embarrassing just now, and the voice was too loud.

"Halve three meals a week." Sima Huai leaned into Tong Run's ear and said.

Tong Run's face suddenly collapsed, turning petrified, crying, "Your Highness, don't want it~ I was just joking!"

Sima Huai sneered: "Call again, and I'll let General Lu take you away." Then he turned and left.

Tong Run covered his mouth and forcibly held back the phrase "No, Your Highness".

Lin Cang pursed his lips and smiled at the side. The arrogant A Run had just finished being bullied by His Highness, so he turned around and waved his arms and legs to "hit his hands" at Lin Cang.

After breakfast, Sima Huai came to the wooden house. Most of the furniture and all the decorations in the small wooden house were made by herself. It may seem strange in this era, but in Sima Huai’s mind, the wooden house represents the treasure hidden deep in the soul. The memory and freedom everywhere, this is completely her own world.

Randomly pulled out a book from the bookcase, half-lyed on the soft couch, unfolded the book, covered his face, and fell asleep after a while.

It was noon when Tong Run came in with the news.

Sima Huai poked his head out of the book when he heard the voice, "What?"

"Your Highness, there is news that the Tuoba siblings of the Donghu tribe will return to China in a few days." Tong Run said.Although he was punished by His Highness in the morning, he was not ambiguous at all when dealing with the business.

"Well, go seal the post and invite Cong Yu and his brother to meet at the Tingyun Tower tonight."

"Yes." Tong Run replied, and hurried down to do it.

In the afternoon, Sima Huai was wearing a jade crown and brocade robe, and passed a message to Chun Yuan that he would not have dinner at home tonight, so he would take Tong Run and Lin Cang to Tingyun Tower on horseback.

Tingyun Building is named after the series of poems "Tingyun" written by Tao Gong in the former dynasty.

Stop clouding, thinking about relatives and friends.

Misty clouds stop, misty rain.

The eight watches are in the same faint, and the flat road is blocked.

Send it to Dongxuan quietly, and caress alone with spring mash.

A good friend is long, scratching his head and waiting.

Tingyunlou is one of the top three restaurants in Beijing, but the identity of the owner behind it is very mysterious. Only a few people know that the owner behind this restaurant is the present King Ning.

Relying on its huge financial resources and novel and unique dishes behind it, Tingyunlou has occupied a place in Beijing and Central China in just a few years.

This building is located on the banks of the Qinshui River. It has the largest painting boat and singing hall in central Beijing. It is one of the most important sources of information for the dark guards.

She is very principled, and there is no brothel, brothel or gambling house in her property.Basically, they are legitimate industries of some restaurants, singing halls and dance halls.

As the pillar of the industry, Tingyun Building is naturally the top existence, and is enthusiastically sought after by countless literati and young children of the family.

The three of Sima Huai rode their horses and arrived at the Tingyun Building not long after. The boys at the door saw the distinguished guest and greeted the three of them with smiles.

Madam Yan, the treasurer of Tingyun Tower, is also Sima Huai's confidant, a person left behind by the late Empress Murong Qiyue.

Mrs. Yan has just passed thirty, with a graceful figure, elegant and graceful, every move has the charm of a mature woman, and she is also a rare beauty.

As soon as you enter the Tingyun Building, the melodious and melodious Qinshui ditty comes to your ears.

The hall was full of applause.

Sima Huai was led to the front desk, but Madam Yan was not seen, the servant said respectfully: "Your Highness, wait a moment, the shopkeeper has gone upstairs, and he will come down in a while."

"No rush." ​​Sima Huai was not annoyed, and sat down in the corner seat, listening carefully to the performance on the stage.

The servant quickly served the best tea and pastries, and waited by the side.

After the song ended, the hall resumed its lively scene.The next piece of music starts after a stick of incense.

Tong Run's meals for the week have been halved, and he ate less at noon, so he can only sweep the pastries on the table now.

Sima Huai and Lin Cang only drank tea, and their love for sweets was far inferior to Tong Run's.

Another boy hurried down from upstairs, bowed his waist and saluted Sima Huai, and whispered something in her ear.

Sima Huai nodded, and the boy went back to report to Mrs. Yan.

At this moment, a high-pitched male voice came from the door.

"Brother Cui, I booked the best box in Tingyun Building, and I will get drunk with you today." Two figures, one tall and one short, appeared from the door.

Sima Huai's eyes flashed, it turned out to be him.

Lu Xianyi, the fourth son of the Lu family, patted Cui Qishan on the shoulder: "Brother Cui, come here, don't be so sad~"

Cui Qishan stood beside him, looking uninterested.

"Today, I want the best "Xuan" box." Lu Xianyi held the fan in his hand and knocked on the counter impatiently.

"Young Master Lu, Young Master Cui, there are already distinguished guests in the "Xuan" box today." The boy at the counter said shyly.

"What! Didn't I send someone to make a reservation before? When you get here, you tell me that someone has taken it?" Lu Xianyi said with a suppressed anger, he still needs to maintain his image in front of the prime minister.

"Young Master Lu, you did send someone to come, but we have already informed you that we have a distinguished guest at that time, why don't you change to the brand name "Qing"." The servant asked tentatively without panic.

Lu Xianyi raised his eyebrows and remembered that when he was at home, the servant came to report that there was such a thing, but he didn't care.VIP?Can he have the noble status of a prime minister?

"Hurry up and ask Mrs. Yan to come over, my son wants a box of the "Xuan" brand today!" Lu Xianyi refused to give in, and today he invited Brother Cui, he must ask for the best.

Cui Qishan stood aside, didn't say much, his expression was in a trance, as if the things around him had nothing to do with him.

The boy looked embarrassed, and unconsciously turned his gaze to King Ning who was sitting in the corner.

Sima Huai sat in one place without any reaction.

Lu Xianyi followed the boy's gaze, and saw a handsome young man in a brocade robe, with two people sitting beside him, who seemed to be subordinates of 'his'.

Lu Xianyi sneered, this person is also strange, he actually sat with his servants, there are such gentry in Beijing who have surrendered their status, it is really a shame to the gentry.In Beijing, Lu Xianyi has a very wide network of contacts, but he has never seen this person before, so he is probably some little-known little person.

Walking over, Arrogant reached out and knocked on the table where Sima Huai was, and said with a sneer, "That boy was looking at you just now, right? You booked the "Xuan" box?"

Cui Qishan came over and was terrified when he saw Sima Huai, his face turned ugly, and he said to Lu Xianyi: "Brother Lu...he is Ning..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Xianyi blocked him with one hand, turned his head and said: "Brother Cui, today I invite you to the Tingyun Building because I want the best box, and this young master and I are just discussing this matter, Brother Cui Don't persuade me."

Sima Huai looked at the two people in front of him. Lu Xianyi was short and thin, similar to Lu Boqian, with an unruly look on his brows.Cui Qishan is thin and slender, with a handsome appearance, and his every move carries the unique aura of a nobleman from a family. His brows are tightly furrowed, his face is haggard, and he looks preoccupied.

Lin Cang's fingers moved slightly, and he wanted to make a move, but was stopped by Sima Huai's eyes.

Sima Huai felt displeased, and said: "I made the decision, Mr. Lu has any objections." She held the teacup steadily and said casually.

Lu Xianyi snorted coldly, "Of course I have an opinion."

"Oh~ what does Mr. Lu want to do?"

"Give up the box, and I, Lu Xianyi, owe you a favor." He didn't attend the court celebration banquet, so naturally he didn't know Sima Huai's identity, and there was a sense of superiority and dignity in his eyes, which made people feel disgusted.

"Brother Lu!!!" Cui Qishan stopped Lu Xianyi from continuing.

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Lu and Mr. Cui? What are you two doing?" Mrs. Yan walked down the stairs slowly.

As soon as Mrs. Yan's words came out, everyone's eyes were on them.

"Mrs. Yan~ This young master and I are just discussing the matter of the box." Lu Xianyi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile. Although Mrs. Yan is a little older, she is not an ordinary beauty, so there is a smile on Lu Xianyi's face meaning.

"Oh~ is there a result?" Mrs. Yan walked up to them with a half-smile.

"There is no result yet, how about Madam Yan to coordinate?"

"Mr. Lu, I, the shopkeeper, can't be the master of this matter." After finishing speaking, Madam Yan saluted Sima Huai with a smile: "I have seen His Highness King Ning."

After hearing this, Lu Xianyi looked suspicious, and cast a questioning look at Cui Qishan who was beside him.

Cui Qishan took a deep breath, closed his eyes and nodded helplessly.

Lu Xianyi's face turned blue immediately. Is this King Ning who broke up with his eldest brother after the uproar before, and then made a big splash at the court banquet and took away the woman Cui brother wanted?

When everyone in the Tingyun Tower saw that it was His Highness King Ning, they all bowed down and saluted.

Cui Qishan bowed reluctantly, facing King Ning, who had real power in the court, his official position was not high, so he couldn't be less courteous, at least not to make people lose their tongues.

Sima Huai was not interested in bullying others, but he was extremely upset when he saw his former rival in love, and his body was full of evil spirits: "Mr. Cui, Mr. Lu, can you let me give up this box?"

"Don't dare." Lu Xianyi gritted his teeth in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face. No matter how reckless he was, he would never offend a prince who held a lot of power, even if his cousin had a close personal relationship with this Prince Ning.

People in the hall on the first floor of Tingyun Building started talking.

"This is His Royal Highness King Ning. He is indeed a young man with extraordinary talents."

"That's right, at the court celebration banquet, he made a bad mouth for us Great Wei."

"The dog Rong people also have the nerve to ask for peace. Our Great Wei doesn't need to use peace to maintain peace like the previous dynasty."

"It's true, thanks to the presence of His Highness and General Murong for so many years, the barbarian dog and barbarian don't
