The king was wrong

"Oh, I have nothing to see you." Wei Yanxi was awakened by his voice, covered her mouth and coughed twice, and answered casually.

Qi Yaoqing nodded without any doubt.He threw the book on the soft couch, got up and went to Wei Yanxi to salute, and said: "Thank you, my lord, for your compassion. My lord, please sit down. Rong Chen will pour you a cup of tea."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Wei Yanxi's reaction, he walked to the table and sat down on his own, picked up the teapot and poured Wei Yanxi a cup, and then poured himself a cup.

"You are casual." Wei Yanxi chuckled, followed him to the table and sat down, took a sip of tea from his hand, and said, "This tea is not bad."

"It's just old tea from previous years, it's not good." Qi Yaoqing took a sip himself, and replied neither salty nor weak.

"But this king just likes it so much, what should I do?"

Hearing his question, Qi Yaoqing paused, glanced at Wei Yanxi, and said calmly: "If the prince likes it, I can send some to your yard some other day. It's not expensive."

Wei Yanxi raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, thinking that you don't even have enough to drink here, yet you are willing to give it to yourself?I don't know if it's true generosity or fake generosity.

Seemingly seeing what Wei Yanxi was thinking, Qi Yaoqing casually said while sipping tea calmly, "Don't worry, my lord, although I'm incompetent, I can still afford a little tea."

"Hehe, I really underestimated the concubine." Wei Yanxi laughed awkwardly after being punched by him, and nodded, but her eyes drifted to the book that Qi Yaoqing had placed beside the soft couch without warning.

"Wangfei has research on "Six Secret Secrets"?"

Qi Yaoqing also looked towards the couch when he heard the words, "The prince was joking, but it's just a pastime for casual reading in his spare time, and it's really not considered research."

"Why is the princess humbled?" Wei Yanxi walked over to pick up the book while talking, and flipped through two pages casually.I saw that the entire "Six Secret Teachings" was filled with clear and neat small script between the lines. The color of the ink was not the same, but the handwriting was similar. It could be seen that the annotations were written by the same person at different times.

Wei Yanxi's expression was a little relieved, she opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she swallowed her words back and returned to silence.

Since he was young, he had determined that one day he would be able to lead troops on the battlefield, so he had read countless military books since he was a child.Looking at all the military books he has read, "Six Secret Teachings" is one of the few books that he has always highly respected, and even when he grows up, he still reads it from time to time.

It's just that even though she often reads this book, compared to Qi Yaoqing, Wei Yanxi still feels inferior.He vaguely remembered that he heard Qi Yaoqing's maid outside the door saying that his young master either read "Zuo Zhuan" or "Sun Tzu's Art of War" every day. Compared with them, this "Six Secret Teachings" should be read less. .

"Princess, let the king come to test you, how about the honor in the grand ceremony?" Wei Yanxi asked suddenly.

Qi Yaoqing replied without even thinking about it: "Be peaceful and quiet, and be gentle and determined first; be kind and not fight, be open-minded and calm, and treat things with justice."

"How does the Lord hear?"

"Looking up at a high mountain, you can't go to the extreme; if you go through the abyss, you can't measure it. The virtue of the gods is to be extremely quiet."

"Among the national policies, if you want to make the Lord respect the people, what can you do?"

"Just love the people."

"What's wrong with Aimin?"

"Be beneficial and not harm, be successful and not lose, be born and not kill, give and not take, be happy and not suffer, be happy and not be angry."

Qi Yaoqing did not hesitate to answer every question, and answered every word without thinking, which was exactly what was said in the book.

So much so that after asking, Wei Yanxi couldn't bear to ask any more.This kind of Qi Yaoqing was an appearance he had never seen before, pointing Jiangshan, slamming Fang Qiu, answering with high spirits, calm and unhurried, as if he had the world in his chest, and the sea of ​​books in his eyes.He was originally such an amazing and talented person, but because of his identity as Concubine Yong, he broke his wings and fell to the bottom.

The answer fell, but the person who asked the question was silent for a long time.Qi Yaoqing blinked, only to realize that he had lost his composure just now.He subconsciously looked at Wei Yanxi, only to see that he was holding up a book and looking at himself with complicated eyes.

"Ahem, it's the minister...showing off, I hope the prince will not take the blame. The prince is visiting late at night, but he has something to ask the minister?"

Finally, Qi Yaoqing was the first to break the peace.He took a step back a little bit, and asked with downcast eyes respectfully.

Wei Yanxi turned her head a little annoyed.For some reason, after seeing Qi Yaoqing's stunning, talented and gorgeous side, he suddenly didn't want to see this person's respectful and reserved appearance when facing him.This kind of Qi Yaoqing has alienation and indifference exuding from his bones, as if deliberately erecting a wall between the two of them, making himself feel very uncomfortable.

He put down the book and sat back at the table again, raised his teacup and took a shallow sip in disguise.The tea that I thought was sweet before now only had a bitter taste.

"How did the princess see it?"

Seeing this, Qi Yaoqing sighed softly, followed him to the table and sat down, and said with a helpless smile: "Last night, the prince had not left half a stick of incense in this room, but tonight he was willing to let Xinna's side wife ignore the minister. Here. If it's not because I have something to do with you, I really can't think of any other reason."

"Well, you are very smart. Then, can the princess guess what this king wants from you?"

Hearing this, a trace of sadness flashed across Qi Yaoqing's eyes, and he subconsciously reached out to touch his cheek.

"If my guess is right, the purpose of the prince's coming here is for my face."

Wei Yanxi didn't answer for a while after listening, and after a while, she suddenly raised her head and laughed unscrupulously: "Haha, princess, you are really smart, and this king really saw the right person! You are right, this king is doing it for you. You came with this face!"

Qi Yaoqing was not surprised at all by this, as early as this morning when he saw Wei Yanxi losing his composure, he guessed that he would come to find him.It's just that I didn't expect it to be so soon.

"So, what does the lord want me to do?" Qi Yaoqing asked.

Wei Yanxi suddenly put away all her smiles, stared at his face, and said with a serious expression: "You look so similar to her, she must have a great connection with you. This king wants you to help me find her. "

"If this is what the prince wants, then I will try my best."

Qi Yaoqing nodded and agreed without thinking too much.Even if he wanted to refuse, he had no other choice. After all, now that he was in Prince Yong's mansion and was wearing the identity of Princess Yong, King Yong should be the most important in everything.Besides, if he can really help King Yong achieve his wish, then he will be able to retire by then, right?

With such a purpose, Qi Yaoqing said again: "I am willing to do my best to help the prince find the person he likes. It's just that the prince, I hope you can agree to one condition at the same time."

"What is it?"

Hearing the conditions, Wei Yanxi frowned slightly, and her voice became much colder.Unexpectedly, before the matter was completed, this person actually talked to himself about the conditions first.But in order to find sister Xiao Qi... well, as long as what he wants is not too much, he will agree.

But Qi Yaoqing is such a delicate and transparent person, how can he not hear the coldness in his words?It's a pity that the colder his voice was, the more determined he was to say this condition.

Without hesitation, Qi Yaoqing lowered his eyes slowly, and said: "I hope the prince can promise me that on the day I find your little sister, I will give me a divorce letter and give me a free body. "

The voice fell, but no one responded for a long time.Qi Yaoqing raised his eyes suspiciously, only to see that Wei Yanxi was still looking at him in the previous posture, never changing.It's just that the coldness in his eyes disappeared completely, leaving only astonishment and bewilderment.

"why?"

Wei Yanxi's expression was a little dazed, and she couldn't help asking.He originally thought that Qi Yaoqing would ask for gold, silver or power, and even let himself help him enter the court as an official to show off his grand plans.Who would have thought that he would put such a bright future ahead of him and not want the position of princess, but only the thin paper of divorce.

"I thought the prince would not ask why." Qi Yaoqing shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "As long as the minister is divorced, the prince will be able to marry the person he likes in a legitimate way, right? The prince will not marry a wife for 20 years for her." , aren’t you looking forward to this day?”

"You...know?" Wei Yanxi was taken aback, completely surprised by this.Qi Yaoqing was not wrong at all. He insisted on not getting married for 20 years. He had never even touched the court ladies sent by his father, queen and concubine to teach others. It was because he pretended to be a little sister in his heart. He had such an obsession and hoped for his life. The first woman in is her.

"Yes, I know." Qi Yaoqing nodded, and suddenly laughed softly, "I'm not a fool, and the prince's behavior when he saw the appearance of the minister this morning, how could he not be able to guess it?"

At this moment, Qi Yao's clear eyes were filled with sparkles, shining brightly against the backdrop of bright candles.His brows and eyes are smiling, the corners of his lips are slightly raised, coupled with his already beautiful and handsome face, he is truly unparalleled.

"Sometimes this king feels that you really... are like her."

Wei Yanxi stared at Qi Yaoqing's face infatuatedly for a long time, until the corners of his eyes became astringent, then he could barely look back and sighed.

"Well, maybe." Qi Yaoqing rubbed the pattern on the porcelain cup with his fingertips, and said casually: "There are always some people who look similar. I think Li Yu's eyes resembled Emperor Yao back then, and after the Great Zhou Dynasty, he was even more famous. Huan Ehuang, since ancient times, how many people have said that Li Yu is the reincarnation of Yao, how do you know that after the first life, the country will be ruined and the family will be destroyed. It is like, but it is not after all."

Wei Yanxi didn't know why Qi Yaoqing would suddenly use the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty as an issue.Could it be that he was comparing himself to Li Yu and Xiaoqi sister to Emperor Yao, feeling that even though the world has the face of Yao's emperor in the eyes of the world, he will eventually end up with the ruin of the country and family?

It's really a... apt metaphor.

Wei Yanxi suddenly felt that maybe this princess was far less calm and cowardly than she looked on the outside.

"Won't the prince go to the wife's courtyard tonight?"

At the moment of flashing, Qi Yao's clear and clear voice suddenly echoed in his ears.

"Hmm... um? What?" Wei Yanxi didn't realize what he was asking for a while.

"The minister said, isn't the lord planning to spend the night at the wife's place tonight? Or, is the lord planning to visit the other two concubines?"

Now Wei Yanxi finally understood what he was talking about.With a raised eyebrow and a smile, he jokingly asked, "Wangfei is issuing an order to evict guests?"

"I don't dare." Qi Yaoqing still looked quiet and respectful, lowering his eyes and said: "It's just that the long night is long, and I'm worried that the prince will find it boring if he stays here for a long time."

An excuse, it sounds like an excuse.But Wei Yanxi didn't intend to expose him, she just stood up with a smile and walked towards the door.

"If the princess doesn't welcome you, then the king will leave. But I would like to say one more thing, it's really not boring to be here with the princess."

Qi Yaoqing calmly watched him go away, and was about to get up and go back to the back room, but he stopped without warning.

"Oh, and," Wei Yanxi turned around suddenly, with a playful smile, "Before you find Miss Seventh, you are my concubine, and I will give you the courtesy and power that a concubine should have. So next time When you meet Xue Hanxue, there's no need to let her go."

After speaking, Wei Yanxi completely disappeared at the other end of the door.

Only Qi Yaoqing was left sitting alone at the table, staring blankly at the front, and after a long while, he murmured: "Wang... concubine?"

There is only bitterness between the smiles.
