I was afraid that people would see something. Before the dinner, Qi Xiao specially asked the palace servant to comb Bai Ren's hair and change into a big sweater. Bai Ren's face was not flushed. He looked at Qi Xiao with displeasure. Qi Xiao smiled: "It's the New Year, what should His Royal Highness do with a stern face?"

Bai Ren has learned his lesson now. He can't compare with Qi Xiao in terms of verbal controversy. It's better that he doesn't speak. The more he refuted Qi Xiao, the more he has something to wait for him. Bai Ren just pretends to be mute. This trick is easy to use to match Japan, but now he can't satisfy Qi Xiao. Qi Xiao took the hand stove handed to Bai Ren by the palace servant and smiled: "Why don't you speak, are you really angry?"

The palace servant retreated silently, Bai Ren pursed his lower lips: "My hand stove..."

Qi Xiao gave his hand back and refused to let him hold it, and smiled and said, "What are you asking? Are you angry?"

Bai Ren completely lost his temper and laughed: "I'm not angry... I'm angry because of this, I don't have to do anything else every day."

"It seems like I'm bullying you every day." Qi Xiao just got a good deal. Now he was in a good mood. He handed the hand stove to Bairen and coaxed softly, "Don't always talk or laugh. You know, I'm the least courageous. I feel panicked when you stand aside with a blank face like this. I always have to think about whether he offended you somewhere and make you unhappy..."

Before Qi Xiao finished speaking, Bai Ren couldn't hold on anymore and smiled and said, "I can't afford to be it... If Your Highness is still timid, then there will be no one who is brave."

Qi Xiao smiled and put his hand on Bairen's waist and stretched his waist for him. He said softly: "I'm not brave enough, how dare I go to His Royal Highness's bed?"

Before Bai Ren got angry, Qi Xiao smiled at the outside and said, "I am ready with the prince, can I get the sedan chair ready?"

Outside, Jiang Deqing quickly agreed: "It's been prepared for a long time."

Qi Xiao nodded, took his hand stove and walked out first.

The family dinner in the middle-aged palace was still the same as it was. During the meal, Qi Xiao was very bored. Yu Guang swept over Baili from time to time. Baili's table was very regular, sitting upright without saying a word. Only when the emperor mentioned him did he nod and agreed twice, as if he was young and mature. Princess Dexin turned her head and smiled at Princess Dunsu: "I heard that the prince-consin's family is married to Lingnan?"

Princess Dunsu nodded with a smile: "Yes, I really like Princess Roujia. I thought... I won't mention that. Thanks to the favor of the emperor, she pointed Princess Roujia to my nephew. It's a good marriage."

Although Princess Dexin is older than Princess Dunsu, her status is far less than Dunsu because she is a concubine. Therefore, she always has to flatter her. He smiles and nods with a smile: "Looking at the prince of Lingnan, I can imagine how the princess is beautiful and dignified."

Qi Xiao almost laughed when he heard this, thinking that you didn't see Bai Ren begging for mercy with tears in my arms.

"Your Majesty, it's snowing heavily this year, so you don't have to worry about getting out of the water, so I ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare more fireworks." Empress Feng looked at the emperor with a smile, "There are many children in the palace this year, and they like these."

The emperor smiled with satisfaction: "It's still the queen who thinks it's thoughtful." The emperor and the empress each drank a cup, smiling happily, and looked like they were respectful to each other. No one could tell that Empress Feng was still in Chengqian Palace this morning.

There was only the queen in the hall outside, and the other concubines were in the side hall. Qi Xiao couldn't see clearly through a light gauze embroidered golden screen, but he heard from the spy that the two girls were also here today.

Sure enough, after a while, the eunuch in the empress harem brought the two beautiful flowers. The eunuch in the empress stood behind Queen Feng with her voice. Queen Feng turned her head and looked at the two girls behind her and turned to smile at the emperor: "I'm afraid that they were both bored in the house, so I let them go out and walk around. I can't do anything else, and I can still do the work of pouring wine and cloth dishes."

Empress Feng has been with the emperor for twenty years and knows his preferences clearly. Because these two girls chose the emperor's wishes, the emperor smiled and said nothing. The satisfaction in his eyes could not deceive anyone. Qi Xiao turned his head and looked at Jiang Deqing who had been guarding behind him. Jiang Deqing knew his intentions and bowed down.

The banquet was 2nd hour of Xu, and the palace servants came to spread the story of the Qinghe Palace several times. Since the emperor, everyone has put on fox furs and cloaks and moved to the Qinghe Palace.

Bai Ren followed others all the way, and Jiang Deqing, who had disappeared for a while, stopped him. Jiang Deqing walked towards Bai Ren and bowed and smiled, "Please ask the prince. Your Highness said it's boring to sit alone. I heard that Your Highness also loves to listen to operas, so I especially ask the old slave to invite Your Highness to enjoy the opera together."

A little prince beside Bai Ren couldn't help but look at Bai Ren when he heard this. He was envious in his eyes. Everyone knew that Bai Ren had kissed Qi Xiao now, and he had a lot of eyes recently.

Qi Xiao had known Bai Ren, but Bai Ren didn't say anything else. He nodded. Jiang Deqing glanced among the flowers behind him and smiled faintly in his heart. Queen Feng was about to lose her seat.

Jiang Deqing remained silent on his face, but for a short distance from Qianqing Palace to Qinghe Palace, he followed Bairen tightly, and no one could get close to him. He sent Bairen to the Qinghe Palace theater all the way.

Qinghe Palace is a place dedicated to watching operas in the palace. It is divided into two floors: the emperor and empress, several eldest princesses, and princesses in the middle of the second floor. Qi Xiao is alone in the right hall, the other princes and princesses are in the left hall, and the rest are underneath.

Bai Ren followed Jiang Deqing into Qi Xiao's right warm room. Although it was a stage for viewing, there were actually many furniture decorations in the hall. There were thick red hot-golded sheep felt blankets on the ground. There were twelve smoked cages on the four corners. The smoked cages were placed in the cages. The warm fragrance slowly took away the chills on the body. The warm room faced the stage southward, and a large eight-immortal table was blocked by carved rosewood. Three feet away from the railing, with various kinds of meat and vegetable snacks, cold dishes and fruits. A imperial concubine couch was placed to the west. There were several soft pillows on the cage, and two neatly woven cashmere blankets were stacked beside them. There were two shiny brass foot stoves under the cage. It was probably just changed to charcoal, and there was a faint red light.

Jiang Deqing stepped forward and took off Bai Ren's cloak and smiled, "I've just walked this way, the prince is frozen, right? The charcoal fire in this room will be warm after a while. If you are thirsty, chrysanthemum tea is cooking on the small smoked cage over there."

Bairen looked at the various things in the warm chalet and was secretly surprised and said softly: "Where is the prince?"

"The prince must go to the main hall to accompany the emperor and the queen first, and wait until the show starts before coming." Jiang Deqing smiled attentively, "The prince has given in advance. It's getting late and the show is boring. If the prince is sleepy, he will sniff on the couch for a while, so that the curtains here can be put down and no one can see them."

Bai Ren laughed: "How can that be? The warmer pavilion here... was prepared for the prince alone?"

Jiang Deqing smiled clearly: "Does the prince feel too extravagant? There is a reason. The warm-up pavilion here was originally prepared for the prince, princess, and future princesses. Even if there is no, you can also bring the concubine with a noble status to the place. Your Highness, the prince is not a nonsense. You are the first to come here except the prince."

Jiang Deqing was afraid that Bai Ren's face was thin and could not hear this, so he smiled and said, "Your Highness, don't be too careful. The prince is just afraid that you will be wronged below. Look below... they are all sitting in their seats with straight faces. If you want to stretch your arms, you have to be careful to see them. Where can you feel so comfortable? The show will start in a while. The prince will take his own care of him, and the old slave will guard outside the pavilion."

Bai Ren nodded, and when Jiang Deqing went out and poured a cup of hot tea alone to drink, he didn't eat a few bites at the dinner. At this moment, he was a little hungry when he was guarding the table of snacks. However, Qi Xiao had not come yet, Bai Ren didn't want to move first, so he just waited patiently.

"What is this?" When Qi Xiao came in, he saw Bai Ren staring at the snacks on the table. Qi Xiao walked up and picked up a piece of pineapple pastry and ate it, "Don't worry, this is delivered from my small kitchen in the palace."

Bai Ren shook his head and smiled: "I'm not afraid of being poisonous..."

Qi Xiao didn't eat much at the dinner just now, and he was already empty until now. The two sat down and watched the show while eating snacks. Qi Xiao's kitchen skills were better than those in the imperial kitchen. The snacks were made especially with Bairen's taste. Bairen's childlike innocence was still tasted. He tasted each of them according to the flowers and carefully reviewed them. Qi Xiao looked funny and picked up a plate and changed it to Bairen: "This roasted rabbit head is their specialty. First pickled with secret sauce, then add more than a dozen spices and medicinal materials to slowly roast them. The taste is excellent. You can try it."

Bai Ren used chopsticks to pick it up, which was very difficult. Qi Xiao sneered, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and tore the rabbit's head directly, picked out the flesh and brain flowers and pushed it into the small plate in front of Bai Ren, and chuckled: "Try it."

Bai Ren lowered his head and ate it. It tasted very good. Qi Xiao chuckled: "No one looked at this, you can just do it."

The rabbit head was just roasted, with a strong aroma, Bai Ren was hungry, so he couldn't take care of it now, so he started to do it, so he didn't even have any outsiders. The two of them had a meal of mellow wine for years and finally made up for the past meal.

"Your Highness..."

When Jiang Deqing bowed in, he was just seeing Bai Ren tremblingly about to put a complete brain flower into Qi Xiao's plate. Bai Ren's hands were oiled, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and he looked at the brain flower nervously, for fear that it would be broken by accident. He raised his head when he saw the movement, and looked at his face blushed in an instant. He quickly pulled the handkerchief to wipe his hands. Qi Xiao couldn't help but smile, turned to Jiang Deqing and smiled, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Deqing also knew that he had come in very badly, so he smiled and said with apologies: "I don't know if your highness and the prince are using it well, it's..."

Jiang Deqing glanced at Bai Ren, curled his smile and whispered: "There is some chaos outside, Princess Dunsu lets you go."

"The mess..." Qi Xiao slowly ate the complete brain that Bai Ren had finally peeled out. He took the handkerchief and wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "What mess? Can an assassin come in the inner palace?"

Jiang Deqing shook his head: "No, just now... the second prince fell into a state of wine, and Empress Feng asked the emperor for grace and asked the second prince to go to the side hall to rest first, who knew..."

Qi Xiao raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Deqing gritted his teeth: "Your Highness knows that Princess Dexin is old and can't support it until now. Empress Feng and Princess Dunsu send Princess Dexin to the side hall to rest, send Princess Feng and Princess Dunsu out. When passing through the pavilion where the second prince rested, he heard something strange inside... Princess Dunsu pushed the door and looked in... She saw the second prince and the palace maids in Queen Feng's harem, wearing disheveled clothes."

Qi Xiao smiled faintly: "Second brother is old..."

Jiang Deqing sighed: "It would be fine if this is the case, but this palace maid... This palace maid was prepared to offer to the emperor before. Everyone in the palace knew about it, this..."

Bai Ren then heard the trick and couldn't help looking at Qi Xiao. Qi Xiao slowly wiped his hand with a veil and nodded, "I understand, you go first."
