After the rebirth, I was picked up by the prince

Since meeting him in the market that day, Qi Zizhen could clearly feel that Song Jiqi's attitude towards him was much closer than before, and he would come to the palace to look for him almost every day.

But Song Yaoxu is just the opposite, he rarely has time to see him except when the day is late.

Qi Zizhen didn't say anything about it, he watched cats compose music a lot every day, and he was invited when Song Jiqi invited him, but other than that, everything was the same as usual.

Six days later, Song Jiqi came to Qi Zizhen's room, as if he was about to do something mysteriously.

There will be no servants in Qi Zizhen's room or near the room, but Song Jiqi still looks around to be on the safe side.

Seeing his appearance, Qi Zizhen knew that he was about to start planning something.

He poured a cup of tea, sat at the table and took a sip, silent.

After Song Jiqi was sure about the safety of the room, he was finally willing to sit opposite him, and asked in a low voice, "Hey, Zizhen, do you want...to go out of the palace?"

Qi Zizhen paused for a moment with his fingertips rubbing the wall of the cup, then raised his eyes to look at him.

Song Jiqi smiled apologetically, and explained: "My friends said they also want to meet you, and they have specially prepared a banquet outside today."

This time Qi Zizhen did not directly agree as in the past, but held the teacup and said, "I can't leave the palace at will."

Song Jiqi waved his hand indifferently: "Don't worry about that, we can secretly go out together in the name of the crown prince. Besides, I'm still here, and I will take you out of the palace, and I will definitely send you back safely. Apart from Weishi, you also If we don’t see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, as long as we come back before the time, nothing will happen.”

Qi Zizhen picked up the cool tea, took a sip, and remained silent.

The Ling Dynasty was very strict with the people living in the palace, and it was even more serious to steal the name of the crown prince to leave the palace without permission. If it was more serious, it could even be executed directly.

But Qi Zizhen knew that Song Jiqi would not be willing to let him die so soon.

He was in the East Palace, so it was not difficult to get close to the prince.Before they took action against the prince, he had always been useful.

Most of the reason for going out of the palace this time was to further damage the relationship between him and the prince, so that they could push him as a scapegoat when they murdered the prince later.

At that time, he can be executed.

Qi Zizhen pretended to think for a while, and finally put down his wine glass and replied, "Okay, then I will leave the palace with you."

Song Jiqi breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "That's really great, you go and change your clothes, while it's still early, we'll leave the palace later."

Qi Zizhen nodded, went back to the inner room and changed into a set of plain black clothes, and together with Song Jiqi easily got out of the palace in the name of the prince.

Before leaving the palace gate, Qi Zizhen glanced at the guards on duty today, and recognized that they were the people watching the king.This meant that if Song Jiqi really wanted to take him out of the palace today, there would be no problem without using the crown prince's name.

He looked back calmly, and silently followed behind Song Jiqi.

Song Jiqi led him around in a small circle, all the way to one of the most luxuriously decorated "restaurants" in the market.

Qi Zizhen looked at the three big characters of "Zhuzhen Garden" on the signboard, and remained silent.

He often came here with Song Jiqi in his previous life, so he knew very well that this place was the largest and most luxurious place for fireworks in the capital, and it was also the place he was most reluctant to go in his previous life.

He didn't show any displeasure on his face, Song Jiqi pretended that he didn't know where it was, and pulled him in with great interest.

As soon as Fang stepped in, Qi Zizhen smelled the pungent smell of rouge and gouache, and frowned imperceptibly, and when he saw the old bustard approaching, he barely suppressed it and returned to his original state.

"Yo, Master Qi is here, they have been waiting for you for a long time." The old bustard greeted Song Jiqi with a smile, then saw Qi Zizhen behind him, and asked, "Who is this behind Master Qi? Look at Bai Baijing, It doesn’t look like someone who would come to places like us.”

Song Jiqi didn't explain much, and vaguely said that he was a new friend, and then took Qi Zizhen to the private room he often visited.

In the private room, several young masters and several serving girls were already waiting, one of them got up quickly when he saw Song Jiqi, smiled flatteringly and said, "Your Majesty is here, please sit down quickly, please sit down."

The man had a fat head and big ears, and when he smiled obsequiously, his face was covered with fat, and his expression was greasy and wretched.

Qi Zizhen still remembers that this man died on the bed in the end, and was killed by a girl who was forced back to the mansion by mistake when he resisted, which was regarded as a big scandal at that time.

He didn't intend to have too many contacts with such people, so he silently went to two empty seats with Song Jiqi.

The private rooms in Zhuzhen Garden are similar to the private rooms in ordinary restaurants, except that there are more girls who are specially called to serve, and the smell of rouge and gouache is everywhere.

In his previous life, he said many times that he didn't want to come to this kind of place, but in the end he was always persuaded to accompany Song Jiqi to come here. Afterwards, he endured the pain and insisted on going through the entertainment again and again, and he had to be careful not to neglect Song Jiqi's friends too much. .

The situation is different now, Qi Zizhen doesn't have so many good intentions, he sits next to Song Jiqi and doesn't say a word, even if someone brings the topic up to him, he looks like he didn't hear it, and Song Jiqi sends him back.

Only when Song Jiqi talked to him, he would respond with a relaxed attitude.

After drinking for three rounds, the people at the table were in high spirits and asked Qi Zizhen, Song Jiqi's new friend, to toast.

"Should Zizhen have a drink too? Just treat it as a face." Song Jiqi persuaded from the side apologetically, but couldn't tell the sincerity.

Qi Zizhen didn't refuse, and after he answered, a waitress came over to pour him wine.

He already had a good capacity for alcohol, and in his previous life, he was used to socializing and making friends with Song Jiqi, so he was psychologically used to such occasions, so he just drank a glass of wine in one gulp, with a calm demeanor.

Few people present did not expect that the frail young man, who seemed to be quite noble, did not seem to drink as badly as they thought. The few people who wanted to watch the excitement paused for a while, and then someone shouted: "Brother Qi, come on! Come again!" !"

Immediately afterwards, the wine glass in Qi Zizhen's hand was filled up again.

With his attitude still indifferent, he raised his wine glass to greet the person who made the sound, and then took another gulp.Not to be outdone, the other party drank a whole glass in one gulp.

The rest of the people felt excited when they saw it, and wanted to toast with Qi Zizhen one after another, but Qi Zizhen knocked them down one by one in the end.

Song Jiqi looked at his friend who was so drunk, and then at Qi Zizhen who didn't even blush much, he was a little surprised for a while, and he held back for a long time before he could say: "Zizhen...you are really good at drinking."

Qi Zizhen seemed to say casually: "General."

Then he estimated the time and asked, "Can I go back?"

"Of course." Song Jiqi seemed to have just realized it, and got up to straighten his clothes, "I'll take you back to the palace."

Qi Zizhen nodded, stood up calmly, his expression and behavior were the same as when he came, and others would probably not believe that he drank a few jars of wine.

Then Song Jiqi took Qi Zizhen back to the palace after a small half circle, and only sent him to a place far away from the East Palace, and then left first because he suddenly remembered something.

Qi Zizhen didn't say anything, and after saying goodbye to him, he walked back to the East Palace alone.

Now it was almost time for lunch, Qi Zizhen went straight to the room after returning to the East Palace, but saw Cui Liang carrying a food box outside the room.

"Mr. Qi!" Cui Liang saw him from a distance, he seemed to be relieved, and then his expression turned pale, "Well, Mr. Qi... Your Highness, he, he has been waiting for you in your room all morning."
