Chapter 21
When the palace servants from Yuxiu Palace came to Haiyan Palace, Qi Xiao was playing chess with Bai Ren.
Qi Xiao refused to let anyone go, so it was not easy for Bai Ren to sit down every day. After that, Qi Xiao went back to his palace.
Princess Dunsu's confidant palace maid bowed and said with a smile: "Please pay tribute to the prince, Prince, Prince. The princess got some new items from the previous dynasty this morning and said that the prince might like it, so he asked me to bring some and put it in the front hall. Is the prince going to see it?"
Qi Xiao put down one son and paused: "What did your aunt ask you to say? Just say it, the prince is not an outsider."
The palace maid was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and told all the things in Yuxiu's palace just now, and said, "The princess said that the person has been sent away, but I don't know what ideas his highness has?"
"Tell me, thank you for your hard work, just leave the following matters to the orphan." Qi Xiao did not marry, and all the things that the Crown Princess should have come forward to socialize can only be entrusted to Princess Dunsu. Qi Xiao left another son and said, "I'm afraid there are other concubines who will go and chat with my aunt in the past two days. I'll tell my aunt that I don't have to pay attention to it."
Queen Feng still has the need to deal with it, and as for the concubines in the harem, there is no need to worry about it.
The confidant uterus nodded and bowed.
Bai Ren looked at the chess scale quietly, but after a while, Qi Xiao looked at Bai Ren with a smile: "What's wrong?"
"Prince..." Bairen's slender fingers slightly clenched, "The prince promised me, Roujia's marriage..."
"I'm going to cook," Qi Xiao interrupted Bai Ren and smiled, "What are you afraid of? You heard it just now. The eldest princess has rejected this matter. Besides, even if Empress Feng really wants to marry Lingnan, she will not choose your sister. Everyone knows that you have become enemies with Qi Hua. If you take your sister to make a tribute, it would be like burying a spy next to her. Can she be crazy? Even if you really get married, Empress Feng will choose Kangtai. What are you worried about?"
Bairen smiled bitterly: "The prince doesn't understand... that's my real sister. Even if there is a possibility, I will be worried."
Qi Xiao smiled faintly: "Yes... It's a pity that I don't have brothers and sisters, so I don't understand."
Bai Ren hurriedly said, "I have lost my words..."
Qi Xiao knew that Bai Ren must know his life experience, and was not really angry. He smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just a normal person. Don't worry. I said that I can handle Roujia's marriage. I'm not lying to you, you just have peace of mind."
Bai Ren secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, hesitated and put down a piece. Qi Xiao grabbed the chess piece in the chess box and made a sound, and paused: "What do you think of Queen Feng's move?"
Bai Ren shook his head: "It's so anxious. The second prince just got the lesson from the emperor. It's time to keep a low profile. Even if he really wants to make a marriage for him, he should wait for the storm to pass. And... Empress Feng didn't ask the emperor to ask the emperor for marriage, but went to find the eldest princess. In this way, the emperor probably didn't know about this matter, and Empress Feng also understood that the emperor would not agree after knowing it, so she wanted the eldest princess to come and touched such a nail."
Qi Xiao nodded and smiled: "It's true that it's not that stupid. Then I'll ask you again. Even you can see that this matter is too rush. Is Queen Feng stupid? She doesn't know? Why do you still have to go?"
Bai Ren was stunned for a moment, and Qi Xiao sneered and said slowly: "Because Queen Feng knew that if there was no action, the emperor might have to give up Qi Hua's pawn."
Qi Xiao lost another piece, and the winner was decided. Bai Ren put the chess piece in his hand back into the chess box, thinking about it, Qi Xiao suddenly smiled: "Okay, don't waste this brain, don't you want to go home? I'll send someone to take you back tomorrow."
Bai Ren didn't understand why Qi Xiao suddenly said this, but it was always good to be able to return home. Bai Ren nodded: "Okay, I just don't dare to bother the prince... I just ordered someone to send a letter to the mansion and ask them to pick me up."
Qi Xiao shook his head and smiled: "That won't work, I'm not at ease."
Without waiting for Bai Ren to refuse, Qi Xiao stood up and sat next to Bai Ren and chuckled softly: "I finally don't have to be with me all the time. I'm very happy, right?"
Bai Ren was speechless, what did he say? If he was honest, he was of course happy, but he really said that... Bai Ren looked at Qi Xiao and shook his head in his heart. He really couldn't say Qi Xiao's temperament. If something wrong might make Qi Xiao furious. Although he was a little unwilling, Bai Ren understood that he was still a little afraid of Qi Xiao.
Qi Xiao laughed at Bai Ren without saying a word: "What's wrong with this... Bai Ren, let me agree first. You promised me. When I ask someone to pick you up, you must come over obediently. Don't make me angry, huh?"
Bai Ren resisted the humiliation and nodded. Qi Xiao held the person in his arms and kissed him in a low voice: "Don't feel wronged. In a few days, it's better to get used to it. I have a bad temper, but as long as you follow me in everything, I will definitely not bully you. Be more obedient, I will take your sister and you to heart."
Bai Ren closed his eyes and said nothing. Qi Xiao smiled faintly: "Okay, don't talk about this, what do you want to eat for lunch? I'll ask them to prepare in advance..."
The next day, Jiang Deqing sent Bai Ren to the carriage with great success. The carriage passed several inspections along the way and finally left the inner city. Bai Ren slightly lifted the curtains and looked outside and sighed. In the palace, it seemed that a few years had passed.
The more this happens, Bai Ren feels that his sacrifice is worth it. He can't stand it, and Roujia can't live the life in the palace.
Roujia's affairs were considered a matter of time, but I don't know if Empress Feng wanted to marry Lingnan to accomplish anything. She was the mother of a country. If Empress Feng asked her family to ask about marriage with the emperor, the emperor would probably not be able to refuse it at once. She should still ask for some news often and just marry Kang Tai. Don't fall in love with his sister again...
Bai Ren was thinking a little sleepy while thinking about it. The carriage was Qi Xiao, and it was lit with a smoked cage and covered with a thick blanket. It was very comfortable. The carriage was shaking and shaking, Bai Ren was dizzy and sleepy. I don’t know how many streets the driver had bypassed. When he was about to wake up, he felt that the carriage stopped. Someone laughed: "Silly things, I don’t know if I sell them, and I can fall asleep in the car."
Bai Ren opened his eyes in a daze and saw Qi Xiao wearing a regular dress, sitting on the shaft of the car, lifting up the curtain and looking at him with a smile. Bai Ren frowned slightly, "Aren't he left the palace?"
"Come on the lonely cloak. The prince fell asleep. It would be easy to catch a cold when he came out like this." Qi Xiao turned his head and ordered the servants. Soon after, the servants took it. Qi Xiao took it, leaned over and wrapped Bai Ren with the cloak, and hugged Bai Ren directly. Only then did Bai Ren wake up and frowned and said, "Prince! This is..."
Qi Xiao smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll change your carriage."
Qi Xiao carried the man to a carriage next to him, and Bai Ren looked around. He saw that it was very secluded around him. Qi Xiao ordered the people in the car there to say a few more words, and turned around and got on Bai Ren's car. The drivers of the two cars shouted, turned their heads, and walked south and north.
Bai Ren looked at Qi Xiao but couldn't come back, frowned and said, "The prince... didn't he agree to let me go back home?"
Qi Xiao smiled and said, "After waiting, I will let you go back. I will follow me back to the prince's mansion first, and you will understand later."
Bai Ren was confused on the carriage over there for a while, and now he was still sleepy with some sleepy water in his eyes. Qi Xiao sat closer and hugged the person in his arms, and laughed softly, "If you want to be sleepy, just lean on me to sleep for a while."
Bairen was so upset by Qi Xiao's words that Bairen felt so heartbroken, and said coldly: "I'm afraid I'll let down the prince's good wishes. If I live with the prince in this way, I will never be able to sleep no matter how sleepy I have."
Half an hour later, Qi Xiao looked at Bai Ren who was sleeping in his arms and sighed in his heart, and whispered: "Let's go around the mansion."
The coachman agreed, the smoke cage in the carriage was burning, Bai Ren's face turned slightly red. When he fell asleep like this, he looked a few years younger than usual. For a moment, Qi Xiao was almost a little distressed. After all, he was still a child.
Qi Xiao lowered his head and kissed Bai Ren gently on the face. He couldn't blame him. If he wanted to blame, he would blame Bai Ren for his bad life. Why did he meet him?
Bai Ren felt someone touching him in his dream, so he shrank to the side. Qi Xiao couldn't help but smile as Bai Ren rubbed inside his arms, and he couldn't help but smile. It would be great if he was so well-behaved.
It took almost half an hour before Bai Ren woke up slowly. Qi Xiao smiled softly: "The Lone King's arm is so numb that he is unconscious. I wonder if His Royal Highness is sleeping well?"
Bai Ren woke up and was embarrassed when he was dozing off, coughing and whispered: "It's only October, so I shouldn't have just ordered a smoked cage now. It's too warm, easy to fall asleep."
"What the prince taught is." Qi Xiao still smiled, "It's because the Lone King is too extravagant."
Bai Ren begged for mercy and looked at Qi Xiao. There were servants around him, so he could at least leave some face for himself. Qi Xiao was so happy that he smiled and said, "Okay, go into the house and talk."
As soon as the two of them entered the Yimen Gate, a servant rushed over before turning around the Chuhua Gate, bowed and whispered: "Prince, that car... bumped into the entrance of the Shuyuan Hutong."
Qi Xiao sneered: "Is there any casualties?"
"Shunzi is an old hand-held one. He had known for a long time that he turned over and jumped to the side when the car came. It was fine. But the prince's car... was so bad that it was hit, and the horse died." The man paused and said, "There was a preparation there. The car was full of stone inkstones. The horse could not stop even if the horse stopped. It almost crashed the wall. The coachman was slightly injured. He was not serious. He was drunk and could not speak clearly. He had already sent him to Dali Temple."
