A thousand ounces of gold is hard to come by

  Xiao Lao Houye's return and the scolding of San Huangzi's words spread like wildfire the next day, compared to Xiao Congrong being beaten, this scolding was even more enjoyable for people to talk about.

  It's still the hottest topic in the tea house after several days.

  Shuiyun Xuan has always been the favorite teahouse of high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, with its elegant environment, classic decor, and bamboo furniture arranged in the halls. The green vines adorn the entire teahouse with a rustic yet luxurious charm, giving people a fresh new feeling.

  Inside the tea house, apart from the main hall, there are also small and large private rooms. The private rooms are separated by beaded curtains, which creates a sense of seclusion. The tea house also occasionally introduces special teas from various regions, allowing customers to experience the unique tea-drinking customs of different places.

  Although Shuizhuxuan is expensive, the officials and nobles in Beijing still like to come here from time to time, not only for its face value but also to hear some palace gossip to alleviate the boredom of life.

  In the southeast corner, a group of people were enthusiastically discussing the return of Xiao Lao Houye. The son of the Jingzhao Yin, Guo Xiangyang, seemed to have witnessed it himself and was describing it in vivid detail.

  He said excitedly, spitting out saliva, standing up and rolling up his sleeves, saying loudly: "According to the old master's words, Miss Xiao San has saved the life of the Third Prince, even if she had aborted the child of the Third Princess, it would be just one life for another! The Third Prince broke her leg and almost took her life, which is really unfeeling! Do you think the old master will let it go or what?"

  "If I were the old master, I would let the third young master make the third young lady legitimate!" someone chimed in.

  "But then, will the He family be willing to let it go? Miss He is deeply favored by the Empress Dowager..." another person retorted.

  "If I were Miss Three, I wouldn't be a concubine even if I were beaten like this!" someone shook their head and sighed.

  The various rumors and discussions grew louder and louder, reaching the ears of three men sitting in a nearby room.

  The man sitting upright with a stern expression, his eyes severe and profound under his thick eyebrows. He listened to the discussions outside, seemingly indifferent as if he hadn't heard anything. It seemed that what others were saying had nothing to do with him, the Second Prince Wu Ming Zheng.

  The man on the left wore a magnificent golden crown, his skin slightly darkened, and his appearance was also very majestic. Listening to the discussions outside, he furrowed his brow, one hand involuntarily tightening around the purple sand pot, his handsome face becoming increasingly unpleasant... He was Wu Minghao, the fifth prince who had just returned from sending a relative out of the pass.

  And on the right, a man in a magnificent azure satin robe sat askew, holding a jade-handled folding fan, with a flowing silk and jade pendant hanging from his waist, listening to the discussion, seemingly smiling but not quite, as he gazed at the two princes with the corner of his eye.

  Under his handsome sword-like eyebrows, there was a pair of naturally noble phoenix eyes. His slender eyes sparkled with wise and cheerful light, accompanied by a few hints of playful smile, elegant and clean, making people feel happy at first sight. He was the owner of this tea house... Chu Qingkuang!

  As the gossip grew more intense, the fifth prince's hand tightened into a fist. Suddenly, he let out a snort of laughter and used his fan to tap the fifth prince's hand, saying: "Your Highness, spare my life! This purple sand teapot is priceless, I've been obsessed with it for two years and only got it after doing someone a huge favor... If you're angry and want to hit someone, I can let Inkfish accompany you to practice, just spare my teapot!"

  Roar roar roar, three men have appeared on the scene, all of whom have an inseparable relationship with From Rong. Let me know who you like in the comments, and collect if you like... my motivation...
