His Majesty Meow Raises Fish [Rebirth]

Although there are two people in the mansion who want to take the martial arts exam, the Seventh Prince doesn't have to worry about it.

Deng Song said to try first, but Qi Jing knew his hidden guards, so he was not sure, and Liu Song would not speak for the young apprentice in front of him.

As for the beauty of His Highness the Seventh Prince, there is no need to worry.

Qi Jing spends a quarter of an hour every day, bringing Shi Yi over to watch him practice martial arts. He calls it "flying man" for Shi Shi, but it's actually because he doesn't want to drink.

What Qi Jing cares about recently is about Meng Xiyan.

Since returning from Lingxing Temple, they have started to follow the clues "provided" by Meng Xiyan and searched for it.

The Buddha top beads and the jade curtain silver thread are both varieties of the Jing Kingdom. Although the North-South Canal is completed, there is no need to go far and wide to travel by sea, but such treasures cannot be bought with gold and silver alone, and there must be some way.

In this way, the scope is greatly narrowed, and we only need to focus on a few old gardens with backgrounds in central Beijing.

Qi Jing was afraid of scaring the snake away, so she was extremely careful in the investigation. She would rather the process be a little more tortuous and concealed than let people find out that she was doing the investigation.

After a few days like this, he really found two gardens.

"Fan Garden in the south of the city, Fuyuan in the east of the city..." Qi Jing held the letter in his hand, thinking.

Autumn is approaching, and even Meng Xiyan is staying behind closed doors at this moment. The nobleman behind him may not go again, and he will definitely find a way to hide his identity. Even if he sends someone to wait there, it will be futile.

But if after the provincial examination, Meng Xiyan won the top case, her net worth would double, but she would definitely restrain herself a bit—after all, she was the top case under Tianjing, so there must be many people watching her.

Meng Xiyan cherishes the feathers, if they continue to show up, it will be even more difficult to find any clues.

Thinking of this, Qi Jing felt a little troubled.

The Seventh Prince at this time is not like the person who can use An Guogong's mansion with peace of mind in his previous life. He doesn't have many people at his disposal, and it will take time to cultivate capable confidants. Some things are not entrusted to proper people to do, I am afraid it will be difficult to do good.

At this time, Xiao Shiyi's voice came from outside the house: "Brother, brother!" There was a wave of excitement in the little guy's tone, and Qi Jing could hear it as soon as he heard it.

The little prince can walk and run now, and when he crossed the threshold, he hurriedly ran to Qi Jing, held up the doll in his hand, and showed it to Qi Jing.

The Seventh Prince looked down, and it turned out that it was a rabbit and a tortoise. Although it was made of fabric, it was very delicately made. It was guessed that it was made by Ruoli's skillful hands.

Sure enough, the little prince praised his female officer when he opened his mouth: "Ruoli did it!"

Seeing Xiao Shi's naive and romantic appearance, Qi Jing couldn't stop worrying about it for the time being, and nodded with pretended satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad, with Ruo Li's skill, it's no problem to embroider a wedding dress for myself."

Qi Jing had made plans for them when she asked Mistress Xue and Ruo Li to come to her side.

Miss Xue's distant relatives in Huanghai Coast have been found, but unfortunately there are no elders in the family, only the two relatives of the same generation are left, living under the same roof.

At first the other party shirked the blame, saying that the family was difficult and the yard was small, and that they might not be able to live with relatives, but later when they heard that Ms. Xue was a female official from the palace, they quickly expressed their willingness to accept her.

Miss Xue is so smart, just looking at the letter, I can understand: what the other party values ​​is probably that she has served the nobles in the palace, and it is expected that she must have saved a lot of friends, so she is so considerate.

If Ms. Xue is unwilling to use this connection to benefit them in the future, or if she keeps a firm grip on her own money, this may not be the case.

Xue Qin has been by Qi Jing's side for a year, and she has seen everything she needs to see. She used to live in the palace all the time, and she was considered to be under the fence. She went all the way to the Yellow Coast, and she also had to be under the fence.

Rather than entrusting her fate to someone she has never met, it would be better to stay with His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, so she stayed here with peace of mind.

As for Ruo Li, her cousin Rong Guan is not young anymore, and Qi Jing originally planned to marry the two emperor brothers after their wedding.

He probed the woman first, Ruo Li didn't speak, but it seemed that she agreed, but Qi Jing has been outside these days, so she didn't mention it again.

Ruoli and the nanny just followed the eleventh prince in, and when Qi Jing talked about embroidering the dowry, they stood aside.

The girl's pretty face flushed immediately, but she didn't dare to blame her highness for teasing her.

And Juan Niang was dumb at first, and obviously couldn't help at the moment, so she could only smile while holding her arm.

Qiu Xi came in with a tea tray, and immediately echoed the words: "Your Highness said that Lord Rong probably has more than a dozen bamboo purses in his hands, not even enough for a scorpion, so we have to change the pattern."

But before Ruoli looked at Qiuxi with reproach, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince continued, "That's right, when Ruoli gets ready for herself, she just frees up her hands to help Qiuxi, you sisters are deeply affectionate, so don't look outside. "

Qiu Xi was here to watch the excitement, but she didn't expect to include herself in one sentence.

Although she is not like Ruoli who already has a crush, but she is still in her boudoir, being teased by her highness, she is so ashamed that she rushes to pour tea for the seventh prince.

She prepared longan tea for His Highness, and children can drink it too.

Xiao Shiyi drank a few sips from his brother's cup, pouted his mouth, waited for Ruoli to wipe his mouth with a handkerchief, and then sat on Qi Jing's lap to play with his new puppet.

"The little tortoise and the little rabbit are good brothers, the rabbit is the older brother, and the tortoise is the younger brother."

Qi Jing almost couldn't laugh out loud when he heard the relationship the little guy had set for them.

He was very clear about what Little Eleven was thinking—it was just that rabbits were bigger and tortoises were smaller, so it didn't matter whether they were the same species or not, they had sequence teeth.

Feeling his brother's body shaking, Xiao Shiyi immediately raised his head, and glanced suspiciously at Qi Jing, who was trying to keep his face expressionless. He didn't find anything special, so he continued to play with his head down.

Qi Jing picked up Xiao Shishi and said, "Let's go, watch your brother Shaoxuan go to practice martial arts, and get a taste of it."

Juanniang is older than them, and has married and had children. In some ways, she is more sensitive than the two little girls.

Earlier, she had guessed the reason why His Highness left Young Master Shaoxuan, but now that she saw all the signs, she became more clear.

Qiuxi and Ruoli have been by Qi Jing's side all the time, even if they don't know much about human affairs, after these few months, they have gradually seen some clues, but they still dare not reveal anything.

Qi Jing didn't intend to hide it from the people around her, but planned to take the subtle route—although she didn't say anything clearly, she kept her attitude and did what she had done, and waited for them to slowly discover the truth with sharp eyes and heart.

As time goes by, seeing the Seventh Prince and Shaoxuan together will become a habit for everyone.

Humans are very habitual creatures, and when the time comes, they will no longer be surprised.

……

Shaoxuan was practicing martial arts in the nearby yard, Qi Jing asked someone to set up chairs and put them on the porch, and asked Qiuxi to fetch tea and pastries, intending to watch Shaoxuan boxing in comfort.

But because they wanted to hear the news from the hidden guards, they came here a bit late today. By the time Qi Jing and the others were ready to sit down, Shaoxuan's fist and kick training had come to an end.

Xiao Shiyi followed his brother to watch many times, and when he saw him doing the closing gesture, he knew that Brother Shaoxuan had finished training.

Just now he showed his new doll to his brother, and the little guy who was eager to share the joy hurried over and introduced Brother Tu and Brother Gui to Shaoxuan.

Before Qi Jing could laugh out loud, Qiu Xi brought a pastry plate with four pieces.

Probably because of the occasion, the chef of the Prince's Mansion prepared four kinds of cakes filled with sweet-scented osmanthus, and when the lid was opened, there was a strong aroma.

This made Qi Jing suddenly think of the wild osmanthus tree in the mountains, the poetry fair, and the precious flowers mentioned by Meng Xiyan...

——It is easy for him to forget his troubles when he is around Shiyi and Shaoxuan... I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

Shaoxuan just said hello to the "brother" in Xiao Shiyi's hands at this time, because the little guy has a doll in both hands, so he can't lead him for a walk, and he got dusty when he practiced martial arts, and it's not easy to hold a child , can only look at Qi Jing, motioning for him to take his brother back.

Just as Qi Jing understood Xiao Shiyi's thoughts, Shaoxuan knew why Qi Jing must be troubled when he saw his expression, so he thought of what he encountered in Lingxing Temple.

Fortunately, Xiao Shiyi is walking steadily now, and he can go up the steps by himself, so there is no need for anyone to hold or lead him, so he walks back by himself, and then obediently lies on the chair to play with the doll.

When Shaoxuan asked, Qi Jing didn't hide it from him, and told him the news he just got.

But he had no way to say that he was sure that Meng Xiyan would be the top case, so he was sure that he would not come out to meet any dignitaries after Qiu Wei. He could only say that he thought Meng Xiyan was talented and might get a good ranking, and then I closed the door and prepared to try it out.

"Do you want to know who is behind Meng Xiyan, or do you want to know who is in contact with the person who may be successful?"

Qi Jing was stunned for a moment, but at first he didn't notice the difference between the two—isn't the person behind Meng Xiyan the one who came into contact with these new scholars?

But soon, he grasped the meaning of Shaoxuan's words, and Mao Sai suddenly realized: "Yes, yes... I think it's complicated, I don't need to keep staring at Meng Xiyan..."

The reason why he was able to discover something special about Meng Xiyan, and then sent someone to keep an eye on Meng Xiyan, was because he still remembered that in his previous life, he had won the case.

This gave Qi Jing a certain advantage, and further fell into a dead end.

As Shaoxuan said, it is almost hopeless to go down the road of Meng Xiyan, but there are still many moves that are not so conspicuous.

Since the other party will deliberately contact these talents, after they are elected, this person will also do the same.

They certainly would not have thought that someone through Meng Xiyan had already noticed their actions.

Qi Jing followed the vines to find the two gardens, and sent people to guard them as soon as the autumn was over, most likely waiting for the people behind the scenes to appear.

Can't wait to kiss Shaoxuan who hugged him, Qi Jing has completely forgotten that there is Qiuxi beside him who is blushing to see her Highness pull down the sleeve of Young Master Shaoxuan.

Shaoxuan looked at him, and suddenly said: "You should tell us more about this."

He didn't mean "I", but "we", referring to everyone around Qi Jing who he trusted and relied on.

When Qi Jing heard this, the smile on his face gradually faded—he really likes to show his happy side to Eleven and the others, and keeps all his troubles in his heart, waiting for him to sort out and solve them slowly.

After a moment of silence, Qi Jing laughed again and nodded solemnly.

……

After Qiu Wei, Meng Xiyan really continued to stay behind closed doors, and the people sent by Qi Jing also waited for the answer that the Seventh Prince wanted.

"It turns out that the sixth son came out in person... No wonder even Meng Xiyan bowed down."

The uncle of the sixth prince Qi Zhuo is a Ph.D. of Guozixue, so he naturally has a deeper understanding of the students than they do. Even if he doesn't know the things of his previous life like Qi Jing, he will pay more attention to Meng Xiyan. .

At this time, Meng Xiyan hadn't passed the test of the top case, but he was just a scholar. Facing Qi Zhuo, the adopted son of a noble concubine, and a prince who has awakened to martial arts, he was naturally not as tough as Meng Hanlin in front of Qi Jing.

After a few months of spring, he may treat Qi Zhuo equally on the surface, but it is not so easy to break the relationship that has been formed in private.

——I just don’t know whether Qi Laoliu is running around like this for Fifth Brother or for himself...
