chapter Five

In Yuxiu Palace, Princess Dunsu looked at Qi Xiao with a smile and said softly: "Why did you suddenly make up your mind? Princess Roujia... Forget it, no matter what, it is a legitimate birth and can't insult you. Although Princess Kangtai is good, her mother's status is low and she can't stand the marriage."

Qi Xiao smiled faintly: "What my aunt said is."

"Hey..." Princess Dunsu looked around, "Why didn't you see Jiang Deqing?"

Qi Xiao lowered his head and said, "My nephew sent him to do something."

"Oh... I don't care what he does, just send someone, so why bother him out? There are many servants around you, but I see that Jiang Deqing still has to use it. Wouldn't you be wronged if he doesn't follow you? Well, I just ask, you stand straight here as if I punish you, why don't you sit here quickly." Princess Dunsu loves him in her heart, and always can't help but mutter a few more words, pulling someone to kiss and sitting in one place, caressing the slightly loose green phoenix hairpin on her temples and smiled: "When it comes to serious business, you should give someone a speech to Lingnan first, see what they mean, and when it's relieved, we'll have to spend Minglu's proposal."

Qi Xiao nodded and asked inadvertently: "When will the King of Lingnan come to this whisper?"

"I heard that your father would send Tang Jing'an to escort food and grass to Lingnan for a few days. I took this moment to hand them a message. This time... it will take at least a month and a half." Princess Dunsu quipped, "What? Are you anxious? I don't know how Princess Roujia was born... I met the Princess Lingnan a few years ago. She looks very good, and I think her daughter will not be distorted."

Qi Xiao smiled faintly: "Just looking at the appearance of the Prince of Lingnan... his sister shouldn't be wrong."

Qi Xiao was a little dazed, and thought of the forbearing face of Bai Ren under the bamboo forest that day and night. He was only fifteen years old, but he was still a half-green child, and he could not hold on... Suddenly, he remembered Cen Chaoge's situation of coaxing and persuading him around him. Qi Xiao smiled cruelly in his heart. He really regarded Cen Chaoge as his support? Is he reliable?

The hint of marriage will be brought to Lingnan with the 200,000 stones of grain and grass. The news will be at least one month, one month, and there will be plenty of time.

Qi Xiao sorted out his plans, and after everything was fine, he felt relieved after confirming that he had already arranged it. Princess Dunsu saw him not talking for a long time and said, "What's wrong? Are you thinking of your concubine in a daze?"

Qi Xiao paused and smiled gently without answering. He took the tea offered by the palace servant and took a sip, and his face was still calm.

Xiaohou Qi Xiao, who had spent half a day in front of Princess Dunsu, left the palace and returned to the palace. Now he is not young now. He only lives in the palace because it is too late. He usually lives in the mansion outside the palace. Qi Xiao is different from other princes. He built the mansion at the age of sixteen. At that time, the emperor built a large-scale construction, spent thousands of dollars, and built a prince's mansion for Qi Xiao for several miles. He carved galleries, painted buildings, pavilions, towers, and extravagant things. At that time, countless censors were involved in the court, but the emperor only said that Qi Xiao was raised since childhood and could not bear a trace of grievance. He should spend as much money. He won a good reputation of lovingness, but people in the world thought Qi Xiao was arrogant.

Qi Xiao got out of the sedan chair, looked at the four words "Zhong Lingyuxiu" mentioned by the emperor in Yimen and laughed sarcastically, and took everyone into the inner courtyard.

Jiang De was waiting in the mansion early in the morning. When he saw Qi Xiao coming back, he hurriedly came out. Qi Xiao took off the jade pendant on his waist and handed it to him. While walking towards the inner room, he asked, "Have you explained it clearly?"

Jiang Deqing bowed and followed Qi Xiao, and quickly agreed: "Yes, don't worry, Your Highness."

Jiang Deqing put the jade pendant in the box and put it away, turned around and untied Qi Xiao's robe, and whispered: "I also asked Cen Chaoge about him. He is the eldest son of Cen Hailu, the literary minister of Lingnan. Cen Hailu's first wife is the cousin of the Princess of Lingnan. Because of this relationship, the two got close to each other since childhood. This time the prince came to the imperial city and Cen Chaoge ordered Cen Chaoge to escort them all the way. After he came, he claimed to be the prince's companion and did not go back with the people from Lingnan."

Qi Xiaofeng narrowed his eyes slightly and repeated: "Cen Hailu ordered Cen Chaoge to escort all the way..."

Jiang Deqing paused, handed Qi Xiao's outer robe to the palace servant beside him, and hesitated: "Your Highness... is there anything wrong with it?"

Qi Xiao smiled faintly and shook his head and said, "No, if it is really the same as I thought...then things will be much easier."

Jiang Deqing smiled bitterly: "Your Highness has a world in his heart, and I can't understand it...but Your Highness..."

Jiang Deqing waved his hand and asked the palace people to go down, and stepped forward and whispered: "I only advised Your Highness: Although the prince is just a host, he has a special status and even the emperor treats him very well. He is afraid that he will have a good reputation. In the past two years, it has been a little peaceful in the southern Xinjiang. It is really not suitable to cause trouble. The prince... has a good appearance, but if your highness wants a child with good looks, what kind of thing can I find? Why do I need such great effort to mess with him? I have served him in the palace for a lifetime and have seen several generations of Lingnan Kings. I know that the people of the Dongling clan are all strong-minded. Although the prince is still young, according to my opinion, he is also a rigid person. If he just refuses to follow, he will do something to burn his jades..."

Qi Xiao raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Then let him burn one for me."

Jiang Deqing didn't expect that Qi Xiao would still be like this after he had been persuading for half a day. He became more and more anxious. He served Qi Xiao since he was a child and knew Qi Xiao's temper very well, but this time he could not understand it. It was true that Qi Xiao was not a kind person, and he was not ruthless in his actions, but he had always been indifferent to the words of love and desire, but this time he didn't know what kind of demon he was possessed. He just saw the Dongling Baibian and said a few words that he could count, and he had to use this person.

Jiang Deqing wiped the sweat beads on his forehead. If it were someone else, he would threaten a few words and give out a lot of rewards to comfort him, it would be almost done. But this is the eldest son of the King of Lingnan, so it is not so easy to take over. Qi Xiao has put in a lot of effort this time and is determined to win. Jiang Deqing became more and more worried as he thought about it. He couldn't help but ask: "What does Your Highness like him? It's cold and cold, and it's hard to put it down at first glance. Even if he gets the hand, what's the fun of it? Where can the concubines serve people?"

Qi Xiao straightened his cuffs and said for a while: "Who do you think he looks like when you look at Bai Ren...?"

Jiang Deqing paused, and thought for a long time but couldn't figure out who Bai Ren looked like. He was puzzled and tentatively said, "But who is your noble person whom he used to be interested in?"

If this were the case, it would be better if he were, it would not be more difficult than Bai Jian to get rid of that person directly, so Qi Xiao was so obsessed with him.

Qi Xiao shook his head and chuckled, "Like me."

Jiang Deqing laughed in silence: "Where...whether is like Your Highness..."

"He looks like me... but he is much more lifelike than me. He has his mother, his elder sister, and there is such a little mandarin duck around him, haha..." Qi Xiao couldn't help but think of the scene in Ye Zhulin again, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Just this... can't I betray him?"

Jiang Deqing didn't know what to say. Qi Xiao was so by nature. He didn't dare to say anything. He just couldn't figure out the difference between the two. How could they be like? Although they were both the same handsome, Yan Shou Huan was not similar at all.

Qi Xiao seemed to see Jiang Deqing's doubts and explained with a smile: "I was also puzzled before, why do I always think of him after seeing him a few times? At first, I thought I was fascinated by his appearance, and I always felt good-looking and wanted to get close to him. Later, I understood that I looked at him as if I had seen me before."

"I just became sensible and learned about my father and mother. I didn't want to say a word for several years. I was so confused every day that I wanted to take a dagger to kill the emperor, and then I wanted to use that dagger to kill me myself... I also thought of setting a big fire to burn the entire palace..." Qi Xiao smiled suddenly, "But later I felt that it was not enough... I would burn the entire imperial city..."

Jiang Deqing was very embarrassed when he thought of Emperor Wu and Empress Xiaoxian. He was about to persuade him. When Qi Xiao was about to persuade him, he said again: "Later I figured it out. I was only ten years old. Not to mention the entire imperial city, I couldn't even burn my own Haiyan Palace. The nannies looked at me all the time. If they were a little moved, they would go to inform the emperor. I accepted my fate and told myself to endure it. When I grew up, I could burn whoever I wanted..."

Qi Xiao's handsome face was a little distorted, and he instantly returned to its original state, still as gentle as usual, and smiled faintly: "Later, I finally understood it, no longer had a cocoon, and knew what I wanted... But the impression I had in those years was too deep, and I could still remember it from time to time."

"Of course, Bai Ren was different from me at that time. I was a madman at that time. I was like me at the age of twelve or thirteen. At that time, after I realized that I was going to fight and rob, but it was useless to just know that it was useless. As the prince, I didn't have any power in my hand." Qi Xiao thought of Bai Ren's unwilling eyes and smiled, "Just like Bai Ren now, he wanted to fight, but he was suffering from lack of help."

Jiang Deqing suddenly understood and paused, "So your highness is sure that the prince will get a trap?"

"He will." Qi Xiao nodded and smiled gently, "If someone told me that there was a way to return my mother's life, let alone this body, what's wrong with giving him his life?"
