After hearing this, Xiao Rui nodded, said with an oh, and asked: "The princess has returned to Li's residence? Then there is no need to introduce you to the side princess? Could it be that you have offended Princess Chu?"

Zhang Yizhi was so frightened that he quickly bowed and said, "The servants don't dare, the villain dare not. A few days ago, the villain played the flute for Princess Chu, and Princess Chu was very happy, but when I heard the news suddenly today, the villain didn't either." I had the opportunity to meet Princess Chu, but I don't know if I did something wrong and bumped into her accidentally."

Xiao Rui frowned. It seemed that Li Xiuer's sudden action had something to do with being slapped by Xiao Yiheng yesterday.

At this moment, Jia Xu entered the room and gestured.

Xiao Rui understood and knew that he had something to say, so he said: "Sir, Zhang Yizhi is now playing for the side concubine of the King of Chu, do you think there is anything you want to tell him?"

Jia Xu then said: "Your Highness, Du Xueqin, the side concubine of King Chu, is the beloved daughter of General Du under the White Tiger Marquis. Her grandfather was once Minister of the Ministry of War, so this Princess Du has a bright and enthusiastic personality. She will work next to Princess Du in the future. , Just be careful."

"Yes, sir." Zhang Yizhi said.

Jia Xu said again: "Zhang Yizhi, originally His Highness valued you very much and wanted to keep you in the palace, but now it seems that Chu Palace is more suitable for your development and values ​​you even more. If you can develop well there, if you can get The princess thinks highly of you, and if I introduce you to His Royal Highness King Chu, then you will be prosperous. But I need to remind you that you have been here for a long time in the capital, and I have heard that the princes have a gap, so you must not be known by the King of Chu. The relationship between His Highness King Xian, otherwise...I'm afraid he will drag you down to feed the dogs!"

Zhang Yizhi naturally knew about the dispute between the princes, so he kept his head firmly in mind, and said: "Don't worry, sir, the villain understands, the villain understands."

"It's getting late, you should go back earlier, don't disappoint Princess Du." Jia Xu said.

Zhang Yizhi immediately bid farewell to Xiao Rui and Jia Xu, and left in a hurry through the back door.

As soon as the people left, Xiao Rui asked Jia Xu, "Sir, why did you let Zhang Yizhi stay with Chu Wang's side concubine?"

Jia Xu said: "Your Highness, I heard from the spies of the Chu Palace that it was Du Xueqin who asked for Zhang Yizhi on his own initiative. The day before yesterday, Du Xueqin visited the Scenic Garden and liked Zhang Yizhi's music skills, so he proposed to ask for it. At that time, Li Xiuer didn't make it clear. Give it or not. The two of them have a main concubine and a side concubine. Naturally, they would not deal with each other on weekdays, but they suddenly agreed today."

"Sir, do you suspect that Li Xiu'er deliberately asked Zhang Yizhi to follow Du Xueqin?" Xiao Rui said.

Jia Xu said: "It's hard to judge, I can only take one step at a time, so I let Zhang Yizhi continue to follow Du Xueqin, maybe there is a surprise."

Xiao Rui nodded and said: "Okay, let's take a step and see."

.......

Near noon, Xiao Rui was preparing lunch when Zhuge Liuying came.

"Liu Ying, why are you free? Have you had lunch yet?" Xiao Rui asked.

Zhuge Liuying said: "After eating, you eat first, and go somewhere with me after eating."

"Where?" Xiao Rui asked in surprise.

"Li's Mansion, the Li's Mansion of the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet." Zhuge Liuying laughed.

Xiao Rui was puzzled: "Li Shoufu is looking for me? No, I won't let you come. Li Ruoxue is the only one who can invite you. Why is she looking for me?"

"It's because you wrote a poem that made sister Ruoxue sleepless, and she didn't dare to come to you, so she could only ask me to come." Zhuge Liuying explained.

It was only then that Xiao Rui realized that it was for the poem he recited when he visited the lake in Jingyuan, which fit Li Ruoxue's character very well.

"No problem, I'll write it down silently later and let you bring it to her, so I don't have to go." Xiao Rui smiled.

Zhuge Liuying said: "You should come with me."

"Why?" Xiao Rui asked.

Zhuge Liuying explained: "Although Hua Tuo's magical doctor cured the old lady's old cold legs, thanks to your introduction, the old lady has always wanted to thank you, but it is inconvenient to walk, so I can only ask you to move."

"How can you let the old lady come to see me? I should be the one to visit. Let's go after I have dinner..." Xiao Rui said with a smile.

After Xiao Rui had dinner, he went to Li's Mansion with Zhuge Liuying. The distance between the two mansions is not far, just a few steps away.

When he came to Li's mansion, he followed Zhuge Liuying in. Xiao Rui couldn't help but asked, "Don't you need to ask Li Shoufu to say hello?"

"We came quietly, and Li Shoufu is not in the mansion. After writing the poem and seeing someone, go back early." Zhuge Liuying was also afraid of trouble.

This was just as Xiao Rui wanted, so he followed Zhuge Liuying deep into the mansion, walked through a secluded garden, and came to a house.

Although the heavy snow hadn't melted, the sun was shining today, so the elderly lady was basking in the sun in the yard. Beside her, Li Ruoxue and Li Xiu'er chatted with her.

Seeing Li Xiu'er, Xiao Rui paused slightly, but followed in.

"Grandmother." Zhuge Liuying stepped forward and called softly.

Xiao Rui cupped his hands and said: "Junior Xiao Rui, pay homage to Mrs. Li."

The old lady got up quickly, and said: "This is His Royal Highness King Xian, he is indeed a good-looking talent, I am being rude."

Li Ruoxue and Li Xiu'er quickly helped the old lady, Xiao Rui also hurried forward, and said with a smile: "Madam Li, you sit down, you sit down, this junior comes to greet you, if the old lady is so restrained, she will treat me like an outsider. Then I have to say goodbye."

The old lady giggled, her teeth had fallen out, so her smile was extraordinarily kind, she sat down again, waved her hand quickly, took Xiao Rui's hand, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't be offended. You saluted. Thanks to Your Highness, if you hadn’t introduced the miracle doctor, I don’t know if I would have survived this winter, look at the snow, it’s so heavy.”

Xiao Rui sat down with the old lady, and said with a smile: "It should be that those who have accumulated blessings have their own blessings. The old lady has accumulated good deeds, so there is a miracle doctor who treats her. This is not the credit of the recommender, but the old lady's kindness. God."

The old lady patted Xiao Rui's hand, beaming with joy, and said: "Your Highness is not only a good-looking talent, but also has a really sweet mouth, Liuying is a lucky girl, otherwise, I would like to introduce Ruoxue and Xiu'er to you."

"Great-grandmother!" Li Ruoxue and Li Xiu'er snorted coquettishly, this old man dared to say anything.

Zhuge Liuying joked: "Grandmother, I haven't got an engagement with His Highness King Xian yet, and His Majesty hasn't conferred a marriage yet. If Mr. Chief Assistant works harder, maybe I can find a good son-in-law for Ruoxue, just like Sister Xiuer, To be a princess."

This was a joke, but Li Ruoxue also blushed.However, Li Xiuer sighed secretly, and secretly glanced at Xiao Rui, her eyes were reserved and her face was expressionless.

The old lady smiled and said: "That won't work, Liuying finally found a good son-in-law, how can he just grab it. Your Highness, Liuying is a good girl. Back then, I still wanted to introduce him to Dongsheng."

"Has Li Dongcheng come back?" Zhuge Liuying was overjoyed and asked hastily.

"I just came back yesterday, and I already sent someone to call him." Li Ruoxue laughed.

Li Xiu'er saw Xiao Rui's puzzled face. She didn't want to speak at first, but she couldn't hold back. She said softly, "Li Dongcheng is Ruoxue's elder brother. He traveled around the world with a senior. He hasn't returned home for a year or two. Liuying is good at martial arts." , Dongsheng is also, but he is not Liuying's opponent, and is often bullied by Liuying. This time he came back, and said he wanted to learn from Liuying."

Li Xiu'er spoke softly, her eyes did not look at Xiao Rui, but ethereal.

Xiao Rui looked at Li Xiu'er, and suddenly felt that she had changed, not because of the environment here, but because of her own change.

Xiao Rui nodded and replied, "Thank you."

At this time, the old lady felt tired and said: "You talk, I will go back to the house for a rest."

Li Xiuer hurriedly supported the old lady back to the house.

Li Ruoxue entertained Zhuge Liuying and Xiao Rui, and had already prepared a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Xiao Rui rolled up his sleeves, and Li Xiu'er stood up to grind for him.Zhuge Liuying stood on the other side, laying out the good hairpin paper for him.

Xiao Rui picked up his brush and ink, and began to silently write Li Taibai's "Mount Lu Ballad to Lu Shiyu Xuzhou".

Zhuge Liuying has never seen this poem before, so while Xiao Rui wrote it, she chanted:

"I am a madman from Chu, Feng Ge laughs at Kong Qiu"
