The next day Qi Xiao took a late sleep and didn't get up until the sun was up. Yangxi Zhai was cleaner than the Chu Palace, Qi Xiao stood on the porch and stretched, the second day of arriving in Yuanjing was rather boring.

"Zong Sheng, where's Baixi Bridge?"

"Last night, my master went to Wanqin Studio without taking him. He said early in the morning that he wanted to go out to play by himself, but he didn't take us either."

Qi Xiao laughed out loud: "Childish.

Where the hell has he gone? "

Zong Sheng shook his head: "Tell me to go around."

"Let him go."

"Master, early this morning, Huaxi Bieyuan sent a post."

"where?"

"Master Tang Ling sent someone to send it."

Only then did Qi Xiao realize that the Xikua courtyard of the same guild hall used to have an elegant name called Huaxi Bieyuan, and there lived a "disaster" Tang Ling in it. Oh, is it possible that he might forget him?

"What's the matter?" Qi Xiao glanced at the post sent by Zong Sheng, but didn't answer it.

Zong Sheng had no choice but to take the post back: "I didn't say anything, the above only invited me to come over during lunch."

Qi Xiao raised his eyebrows lightly: "Bring me to dinner? No."

Qi Xiao has nothing to do in Yangxizhai. After all, they are not in the Prince Chu's Mansion. They have a school field and a horse farm. Even if they leave the Palace, they will not have nothing to do. Zong Sheng thought that Qi Xiao would be unable to hold back and want to go out, but he never came Qi Xiao opened his mouth, which made Zong Sheng bored with Qi Xiao.

"What are you doing in a daze? Pack your things."

Since entering the Yuan capital yesterday, they have been wandering around the East Market in the afternoon, and almost stayed at Wanqinzhai at night. They only returned to the same guild hall near Yinshi, and their luggage was still piled up in the side hall without having time to pack it up.

Qi Xiao said he wanted to clean up, so he did it himself.

"Grandpa, I'll do all the work."

"It's okay, it's okay to be idle."

When Qi Xiao left Yongcheng, he ordered a light car to travel, but the journey from Yongcheng to Yuanjing was a long way, and there were several big boxes for daily food and clothing. Qi Xiao was very displeased when he saw these burdens before leaving , but he is the king of Chu, and he has always been "proud and extravagant", so he had to bring the whole car to Yuanjing. After last night, Qi Xiao felt that he really brought too little, too little money and silver.

Last night, Lu Fangjin alone drank over a hundred taels of wine. If it weren't for the fact that the fifth and seventh brothers were taking advantage of him, Qi Xiao wouldn't know how Lu Fangjin was going to get home. It's so embarrassing.

The Chu Palace is not poor. Apart from the fiefdom, Qi Xiao has other industries in the past few years and is well-run. He is one of the richest households in Fuzhou. In Yuanjing City, if he pretends to be exaggerated, even Qi Xiao can't catch up with Zhao Yi's true exaggeration. If he pretends again, he will be imitating others, and he has to find another way.

Qi Xiao took out the things in the box one by one, and suddenly got a long and narrow box, Qi Xiao looked at it blankly in front of him.

"Master?" Zong Sheng seemed to have never seen Qi Xiao suddenly lose his mind in a daze, and put in the box should be the folding fan with the picture of galloping horses.

Tang Ling looked harmless to humans and animals, but in fact she had deep thoughts and knew how to "follow what one likes". A folding fan and a bag of sugar pills seemed to be able to buy people's hearts.

Now even Qi Xiao himself doesn't know why he is always helping him.

Qi Xiao didn't open the box, and suddenly laughed dryly: "If I had taken that fan pendant back then, it would have been worth a lot of money, at least I could treat Lu Fang to a good drink."

Zong Sheng didn't answer, he was originally stupid, and he didn't know how to answer such words. What Qi Xiao said was to buy wine for Lu Fang, but Zong Sheng seemed to focus on Shan Zhui'er and Tang Ling. Zong Sheng didn't dare to speculate about Qi Xiao's thoughts on his body.

Qi Xiao stuffed the box to Zong Sheng, and picked up another long box by himself. What's inside?Qi Xiao opened it casually, and there was a folding fan lying quietly inside. Just looking at the not-so-expensive and overly plain fan bones, one could tell that it was the one given by Tang Ling.

This box is a folding fan, so what was in that box just now?

Qi Xiao closed the box, replaced the one just now from Zong Sheng's hand and opened it again, a white jade hairpin fell in front of him.

He almost forgot that he had ordered such a thing from Tang Ling.

Qi Xiao took out the hairpin and played with it in his hand, then threw the box to Zong Sheng.

Jade is a good jade, and the carver is also good, but the simple and elegant white jade is very suitable for Tang Ling's gentle and elegant temperament.

Qi Xiao instantly recalled how Tang Ling was trapped in the prison car. The strong contrast between the noble son and the prisoner merged into him alone, which made people feel pity, but did not dare to blaspheme...

Qi Xiao suddenly reached out and pulled out the hairpin on his head, and replaced it with Tang Ling's white jade hairpin: "Zong Sheng, I'm hungry."

Zong Sheng quickly put the box back into the box, and followed Qi Xiao out: "Master, I'm going to order the small kitchen to cook. What do you want to eat?"

"No need, Huaxi Bieyuan is not a treat."

"Huh? Didn't Master say...not to go?"

Qi Xiao glanced back at Zong Sheng: "Oh, I changed my mind."

Zong Sheng followed Qi Xiao honestly, not daring to say more.

***

From Yangxizhai to Huaxi Bieyuan almost crossed the entire guild hall, Qi Xiao and Zong Sheng took long and fast steps, and walked for less than half an hour, just in time for lunch.

Huaxi Bieyuan is much more lively than Yangxizhai, Zhou Guo and a team of envoys are all there, and they are familiar with each other after staying for more than two months, so they are much more at ease.

Huang Zexian knew that Tang Ling had posted a message for Qi Xiao, and from what Tang Ling said, King Qi Xiao of Chu was a very scheming person. The best strategy, Huang Zexian thought that the king of Chu would not come.

Before Qi Xiao entered the Huaxi courtyard, servants came to report to Tang Ling, who was playing chess with Huang Ze at that time.

"Young master, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is here."

"understood.

Please go to the side hall, His Highness the King of Chu. "

"Yes."

Huang Zexian was quite surprised, and smiled wryly: "Sure enough, you are the master who knows things like a god."

Tang Ling smiled: "Master Huang is willing to admit defeat."

"Hey, admit defeat and admit defeat.

After that, we all listened to the young master's orders, and there was no other way. "

Last night Tang Ling insisted on going to Wanqin Studio, and innocently got into big trouble with Zhao Yi. After being sent back by Zong Sheng, she had to listen to many old officials like Huang Zexian.

Tang Ling wanted to invite Qi Xiao this morning, but was stopped by Huang Zexian, so she made a gamble on this, if Qi Xiao came, Huang Zexian would not be able to say more.

Tang Ling got up, not even taking Qing Lan and Ye Huai with her, and went to the side hall alone to meet Qi Xiao.

As soon as Qi Xiao sat down in the side hall, the appetizers and wine were put on the table one by one, and there were only two sets of bowls, chopsticks and wine cups. Qi Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his head and said to Yu Zongsheng: "It seems that Mr. Tang didn't plan to take you with me. Thank you, you can go back first, don't accompany me hungry."

"Master..." Zong Sheng stood still.

"Come back, he can fight me with his body?"

"……Yes."

As soon as Qi Xiao filled himself with wine, Tang Ling came.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the King of Chu."

When Tang Ling wore a silver and white cloud embroidered gown, Qi Xiao only glanced out of the corner of his eye, and the words Pian Ruo Jing Hong appeared in his mind, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help raising his mouth. No wonder Zhao Yi went crazy when he saw Tang Ling.

"It's rare for Ziyi to invite me to drink."

Qi Xiao also poured a glass of wine for Tang Ling, "Apricot Blossom Rain, the fragrance of the wine is not strong, but it has a long aftertaste. You knew how to find this apricot blossom rain when you first came to Yuanjing. It seems that you have gained a lot in Wanqinzhai last night. Rich."

Tang Ling sat next to Qi Xiao, smiled lightly and held up the wine cup to toast to Qi Xiao: "Thank you very much for last night."

Qi Xiao was not polite with Tang Ling, drank the wine in one gulp, raised his chopsticks and started to eat: "Thanks are not enough, even a meal of wine and food is not enough, I saved you many times, but you always use some messy gadgets to fool me, This time, I won't be so easy to dismiss."

"I don't dare to fool His Highness King Chu, those messy gadgets are all my thoughts, even if they are shameless, they won't catch His Highness' eyes, but I really don't have anything better to get out of this journey. "

Qi Xiao took another sip of wine and laughed: "I regret it a bit, the pendant was very good back then."

Tang Ling also laughed: "It's rare that you like it, I'll find it in a while and order someone to send it to Yangxi Zhai."

Qi Xiao turned his head to look at Tang Ling, he smiled like a spring breeze melting snow, like a banished fairy, talking about his good looks, he seemed to be more able to inadvertently touch people's hearts than that girl in July.

Qi Xiao was silent for a moment, then suddenly shook his head: "You, it's better to hide something, otherwise this good appearance will cause trouble.

I told you when I was in Yongcheng, and you still thought I was molesting you.

I don't know good people. "

The smile on the corner of Tang Ling's mouth stagnated, but she was not angry in her heart. What happened last night was a humiliation, but he also took revenge. Zhao Yi didn't end well. If he were in Zhou Kingdom, Zhao Yi would definitely have his hands and feet cut off. , I will be a useless person for the rest of my life, but Tang Ling has to bow her head under the eaves now.

Just let it go.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but I'm afraid it's too late now."

"Ok?"

"Didn't you hear anything this morning?"

"I heard? Heh..." Qi Xiao guessed that the rumors had already spread. I am afraid that there is no one in the entire Yuan capital who does not know what happened in Wanqinzhai last night. Zhou Guo's proton Tang Ling.

"Thanks to you saving me from the siege last night, I'll toast you again."

Qi Xiao drank his wine and asked with a smile: "When you entered Yuanjing the first day, you went to Wanqin Studio, why?"

"When you entered Yuanjing the first day, Qi Xiao, you also went to the Wanqin Studio, so why?" Tang Ling directly returned the same question to Qi Xiao.

Qi Xiao smiled and didn't answer.

Unexpectedly, Tang Ling suddenly stopped hiding, and suddenly became fierce.

In the previous game of chess, Qi Xiao was good at attacking and Tang Ling was good at planning. He seemed to be always on the defensive, but he was planning every step, trying to interfere and interrupt Qi Xiao's attack, but he never "faced the enemy" head-on. Tang Ling suddenly changed his style of chess. , is really interesting.

"Qi Xiao, whatever you want, just ask."

"Hahaha..." Qi Xiao couldn't help laughing, Tang Ling invited him to come, Tang Ling was sure that he would come to the banquet, and even figured out why he would come, "Okay, Ziyi, you are so straightforward, I Don't beat around the bush, I want you to do something for me and find out some news."

Qi Xiao left Beijing at the age of ten, and his foundation is in Fuzhou Mansion. He has no one in the court, and it is difficult for him to move an inch in Yuanjing. Last night, he helped Tang Ling and met the fifth and seventh sons face to face. Although it was not as he planned, But it's not entirely a bad thing, if there were no farce yesterday, he might have been forgotten in the guild hall, but now, his father couldn't help but hear his name.

"I try my best."

Tang Ling smiled and agreed very simply.
