The mistress was reborn and broke off the engagement, the regent cried and begged to marry into the

Ling Ze shrugged. He estimated that even until his death, the prince would still be stubborn.

Speaking of giving gifts, Xie Qiuguang stood up and ran out.

The butler's legs were not very agile, so he simply gave up chasing him. Ling Ze used his Qinggong skills to fly over the eaves and walls and followed closely.

Xie Qiuguang ran to the warehouse, ordered someone to open the door, and rushed in. He searched everywhere.

Night-shining pearl? Tacky, no.

Coral? Too big and attention-grabbing.

Jade pendant? The pattern is inappropriate, throw it away.

Bracelets, hairpins, step-shaking ornaments...

Xie Qiuguang selected a large number of them and had them moved out of the warehouse. He called the servant who always spoke badly when reporting back: "That person."

"Your Highness, my name is Ji Qing. You ordered me to pay special attention to Miss Shangguan's movements." The servant Ji Qing jumped out from nowhere.

Xie Qiuguang was startled, but immediately calmed down: "I'll give her one of these that I picked out every day."

Ji Qing stretched his neck to take a look: "Your Majesty, you are making things difficult for me. Miss Shangguan will definitely not accept it."

"Just send it if I ask you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Xie Qiuguang gritted his teeth. He would make this ignorant servant go away sooner or later!

"Okay. But I can't guarantee that Miss Shangguan will accept it. If you return it then, I will be so embarrassed." Ji Qing spread his hands.

Ling Ze on the roof couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Brother, it's the prince who is embarrassed. Why do you worry about it?"

The word "senior brother" reminded Xie Qiuguang of who this person was. No wonder his reply was so infuriating.

Xie Qiuguang stepped forward, held Ji Qing's shoulders and tore off the human skin mask: "It's you!"

Shaking his shoulders, Ji Qing easily got rid of the grip and took a few steps back: "Junior brother, what did you remind him of? Let me see how blind he is and how long it will take for him to recognize me. Prince, long time no see. When you were a child, I spanked you."

Xie Qiuguang took a deep breath and gritted his teeth: "Ji Shengxian! Didn't you go to the desert?"

Ji Qing, whose original name was Ji Shengxian.

Ling Ze’s senior brother and good friend of Concubine Shu.

Ji Shengxian sighed, "I came all the way here for nothing. I didn't find what I was looking for. Now I'm back in disgrace."

"Didn't find it?" Xie Qiuguang frowned, "Is the news false?"

Ling Ze jumped to the ground.

Ji Shengxian shook his head: "The news must have leaked out, and they ran away."

Xie Qiuguang looked disappointed: "Not even a trace left?"

"There are some clues. One of their tribe members seems to have entered the capital." Ji Shengxian said helplessly, "But I don't know who it is."

Ling Ze thought about it: "Since he came into the city, he must have his own purpose."

Ji Shengxian shrugged: "Who knows. The most important thing in the city is the imperial examination. He can't be here to take the imperial examination, right?"

"..."

The three of them stared at each other in amazement. No way?

Xie Qiuguang turned around and said, "Since he has entered the city, we can always find him. Send the things to Shangguan Mansion now, immediately, right away."

"Give it as a gift? You are so one-sided, do you think it's interesting?" Ji Shengxian pouted in dissatisfaction.

Ling Ze patted his senior brother on the shoulder: "Give it to her. What if Miss Shangguan accepts it?"

Ji Shengxian got excited and said, "If she accepts it, I will wash the prince's feet every day in the future."

Xie Qiuguang came over quickly, grabbed his hand and forced him to high-five: "A gentleman's word is as good as a promise."

Looking at his own hands, Ji Shengxian looked at the prince again: "You kid is trying to sneak attack. I don't care, it doesn't count."

Xie Qiuguang smiled crookedly: "Oh, you're a scoundrel? Okay, okay, I'll go tell mother."

He pretended to leave.

Ji Shengxian simply sat down on the ground: "Ran Ran, come and take a look. Your son is bullying me."

Xie Qiuguang paused: "If my mother is still alive..."

One sentence evoked memories of everyone present.

When the prince was a child, they were the most noisy in the whole palace. Every day there was chaos and laughter was loud and clear.

Ji Shengxian stood up and patted his butt: "Okay, I'll go and take it."

Xie Qiuguang shook his palm: "Don't forget our bet. I'm looking forward to you washing my feet."

"It's not like I didn't wash you when you were a kid." Ji Shengxian turned his head away and muttered.

Shangguanfu.

Shi Jifeng thought about it for a long time and finally stepped into Luowanyuan.

Shangguan Haitong greeted him with a smile: "Master Shi, what do you want to talk to me about? Huanshuang, serve the tea."

"Hey." Huanshuang brought tea and waited by the side.

Shi Jifeng thought about it again and again, then he bowed and said, "I heard that the young lady bought a lot of calligraphy. I went to the bookstore but couldn't find any, so I came here to ask for some for me. Money is not a problem, and I hope the young lady...if it is really inconvenient, I can go to a few more stores."

Shangguan Haitong smiled and said, "I thought it was something serious. Huanshuang, go get the calligraphy copybook. My fourth brother is twelve years old, and his studies have been delayed. I bought some more calligraphy copybooks for him to practice calligraphy. I didn't expect to cause trouble to him. I'm really sorry."

"Bought it for the Fourth Young Master..." Shi Jifeng then realized that he had misunderstood and felt very uncomfortable.

Huan Shuang brought out several calligraphy books: "Sir, are these enough? If not, I'll get more."

Shi Jifeng hurriedly took it with both hands and said, "That's enough. How much silver?"

Shangguan Haitong stood up and said, "Master Shi taught me, I should have thanked you. This small piece of calligraphy is not a token of respect."

"This..." Shi Jifeng didn't know whether to take it or not.

Huan Shuang smiled and said, "Sir, just keep it. It's not a very valuable thing."

Shangguan Haitong changed the subject: "My fourth brother's handwriting is as bad as a dog's. I'll have to trouble you to take care of him in the future. My second sister and fourth brother are naughty and must have caused you a lot of trouble. I'm already looking for a teacher, please help teach them for a while."

Shi Jifeng shook his head: "Miss, it's serious, it's not a big deal."

"Look how polite we are. Sir, have you had lunch? Please stay and have lunch with us." Shangguan Haitong said with a smile.

It seemed like he was trying to keep the guest, but in fact he was trying to drive him away. If a stranger had any sense of etiquette, how could he stay for dinner?

Shi Jifeng said goodbye immediately: "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Goodbye, young lady."

"Huanshuang, send the young master off." Shangguan Haitong would at most send him to the door.

"Please." Huanshuang raised her hand.

Shi Jifeng nodded and left.

As they walked into the courtyard, a servant came over to report: "Miss Huanshuang, someone from the palace has delivered something."

Huan Shuang stopped and said, "The palace? What did you send?"

Shi Jifeng didn't want to listen any more, so he nodded and walked away. Even from a distance, he could still hear it.

"It was said that the prince gave it to the young lady. I dare not accept it, so I came to ask for the young lady's permission."

Prince? Shi Jifeng couldn't help but look back, King Ling Zhao?

His heart sank and he turned and left.

The gate of the courtyard.

Huan Shuang didn't dare to make the decision: "Wait a minute, I'll go ask the girl."

"Yes." The servant waited.

Huan Shuang entered the room and said, "Miss, someone is here to report. The prince has sent something over."

"What is that?" Shangguan Haitong asked doubtfully while drinking tea.

Huanshuang shook her head.

Shangguan Haitong was helpless: "Let him in."

"Yes." Huanshuang went out immediately and asked the servant to bring the person in.

after a little while.

Ji Shengxian put on the human skin mask again and walked into the room. He bowed and said, "Hello, young lady."
