At midnight, the lights were brightly lit in the Heqing Pavilion of the King's Mansion in Lingnan.

Because Dong Boru came one step late, he asked Cen Chaoge to say what he had just said. Cen Chaoge repeated it carefully and whispered: "Although Xixiang has not said it clearly, it seems... the emperor is not very concerned about this matter. It is all Princess Dunsu who is in charge of it. Unfortunately, there are no female family members in our mansion who can pay homage to the princess, so... they can only go to explore the prince's palace."

Dong Boru also felt that there was some change as he heard it. He glanced at Bai Ren and whispered: "That's fine... Princess, don't be upset. I said something unpleasant. Princess Roujia just took the title of legitimate birth. If he said he was favored by the prince, Princess Kangtai would be more. His Royal Highness might also hesitate. There is still ten days to walk around again, and there may be a chance..."

Bairen pursed his thin lips slightly and whispered: "I'm blaming me... I didn't want to get involved in right and wrong before, so the prince ignored me when he got close to me. Forget it, I heard that the prince also likes our tea. I'll prepare some good things for me. I'll go to the prince's mansion tomorrow."

Dong Boru nodded: "Yes, but... I heard that the prince is not very good-natured. Your Highness ignored him before. This time... Your Highness will suffer some grievances when he goes there. Your Highness should be more tolerant."

"It's okay." Bai Ren laughed at himself, "Am I still afraid of being wronged?"

Dong Boru shook his head: "Heaven is just giving great responsibilities, the prince doesn't have to be careless. Chaoge, will you... Chaoge tomorrow?"

"Ah?" Cen Chaoge suddenly came back to his senses and said in a daze, "Sir, call me?"

Bai Ren frowned slightly, and without taking care of Dong Boru, he couldn't help but whisper in a low voice: "But you're tired?"

"No." Cen Chaoge laughed dryly, rubbed his eyebrows and smiled, "I'm just a little sleepy. What's the point of giving me?"

Dong Boru smiled and said, "No, I just told you, didn't you say that Xixiang is staying outside today? Then I have time to walk around tomorrow. I have spent a lot of money to take advantage of the path of the chief executive, but don't break it."

Cen Chaoge was just worried about what to do if he had no reason to go to Xixiang tomorrow. Dong Boru's words hit him, and he quickly agreed: "Yes, sir, don't worry, I'll go tomorrow."

Dong Boru smiled and said, "Don't be so anxious. You're restless all day, but you're tired all day long? Let's take a break first."

Cen Chaoge forced a smile, turned to look at Bai Ren, Bai Ren couldn't say anything in front of Dong Boru, but just whispered: "Go."

He had nothing to say all night, and the next morning Bai Ren ordered someone to send a message to the Prince's Mansion. At that time, he took someone to the Prince's Mansion.

In the main hall of the Prince's Mansion, Jiang Deqing politely presented tea to Bai Ren, and said with a diligence: "I'm sorry, the Prince left the court today and did not see the prayer post. I don't know that the prince is coming. The prince has not come back now... I'm afraid that something happened in the court will cause trouble."

Bai Ren was anxious and had a bad look on his face. He smiled and asked, "I wonder when the Prince Palace will come back?"

Jiang Deqing frowned slightly and shook his head: "This slave is not good. Now, Princess Dunsu is in the palace, and it is common for him to ask the prince to go over and have dinner together at noon. If the princess invites him, then... I don't know what time you will get."

Bai Ren heard Princess Dunsu's heart and became more anxious. This matter was mentioned by Princess Dunsu. If Qi Xiao was always with Princess Dunsu and decided to die of the marriage, then it would be useless to think of any method. Bai Ren felt more and more regretful. On that day, Qi Xiao greeted him, why could not be patient and say a few words? Now that people no longer pay attention to him, it would be too late to say anything. He said that he had left early in the morning and didn't see the greetings. In fact, he was unwilling to pay attention to himself. Bai Ren felt more and more anxious when he thought about the ten-day deadline Cen Chaoge said.

Jiang Deqing looked at Bai Ren's face and smiled gently, "What's the matter with the prince? It's okay, I'll let someone go to the palace to find the prince, even if the prince is in Princess Dunsu, if the prince has something to do, the prince will come back."

Jiang Deqing blew the doubts in Bai Ren's heart completely, Bai Ren thought that as long as it was not intentional, Jiang Deqing asked again when he saw Bai Ren without saying anything, "Crown Prince, move to the study? I will send someone to the palace now."

"No need." Bai Ren quickly refused. He was very sensible. What kind of identity he had, how could he really make people go to the palace to find Qi Xiao. He paused and whispered, "It's nothing. It's just that I heard that the prince liked the tea that he paid this time. It happened that there was something good in the mansion. There was nothing wrong today, so I just sent it myself. Since the prince was not here, I won't bother you anymore."

Jiang Deqing nodded repeatedly: "Okay, wait until the prince comes back, the servant will tell the prince immediately."

Bai Ren turned his head and the servant behind him came forward and handed a carved red lacquer box. Jiang Deqing hurriedly bowed and took it. Bai Ren paused and turned his head and said unhappy to the servant: "Why did you bring this only? I didn't tell you that this tea must be brewed with a Qianquan jade carving teapot to taste. I specially asked you to bring it with you, why didn't you see it?"

The servant was stunned for a moment and knelt down and accused him: "Criminal, please spare me. That tea set has been sealed in Curry since we came here. I have never moved it. The young man couldn't take it out. When he went to tell the supervisor last night, he was already asleep. The young man originally thought of getting up early this morning to get the sign to get things, but... the young man deserves to die. He was confused when he got up early and even forgot to clean up."

Bai Ren frowned: "Can't even do this little thing?"

Jiang Deqing smiled in his heart and quickly smoothed out the situation: "Don't get angry, please take care of yourself."

"I laughed at you..." Bai Ren smiled bitterly, "It's just a pity. This tea is different from other people. It's just ordinary to brew it with porcelain. It's necessary to use jade to make the color. It's best to use Qianquan jade from Lingnan. Just... I'll send it to the West. I'll come again tomorrow."

Jiang Deqing repeatedly agreed: "It's the best, but I'm so troubled by your highness."

Bai Ren smiled faintly: "It's okay."

Bai Ren left with his people, Jiang Deqing asked someone to pack up the tea and snacks, etc., and he turned the screen with the box and bowed: "Your Highness, the prince is gone."

Qi Xiao looked at the box in Jiang Deqing's hand and smiled playfully: "He is smart and has made up this set of rhetoric."

"The person you love is naturally not that stupid." Jiang Deqing opened the box and let Qi Xiao look at it and flattered her, "The prince is determined to see Your Highness, and he will probably come early tomorrow."

There were four small bottles of tea in the box, all of which were tightly sealed with red silk. Qi Xiao took a bottle casually and smelled it: "He comes again tomorrow, but I will still not see you."

Jiang Deqing laughed: "What do you mean by this? Your Highness..."

Qi Xiao put the tea leaves back into the box and said lightly: "One is to grind his patience, and two... Let's talk about it when there is news from Xixiang."

Xixiang did not let Qi Xiao wait for a long time, and the news came very quickly. Two days later, the list of accompanying the grain escort officer back to Lingnan came out. Qi Xiao made some moves from it and took the distribution of documents to his own side. Qi Xiao had a share in the distribution of food and grass this time, and no one else suspected that he was there. He just distributed documents, either from the Ministry of Personnel or from the Prince's Mansion.

Jiang Deqing looked at the documents on Qi Xiao's desk and smiled flatteringly: "Your Highness can rest assured now. By the way, Xixiang asked me to give this to Your Highness..." Jiang Deqing pulled out a stack of silver notes from his sleeve and handed them to Qi Xiao: "These are all sent to Xixiang by Cen Chaoge these days. Xixiang said that this is for Your Highness. Although he knew that Your Highness would not take this amount of money into consideration, he did not dare to keep it privately. He asked the slave to send it to Your Highness. Please accept it."

Qi Xiao chuckled: "He is very respectful... There is a total of this..."

"Ten thousand taels." Jiang Deqing paused and added another sentence, "Three thousand taels were given before to inquire about the marriage, and the other ten thousand taels were given later to be able to return to Lingnan with the escort army."

Qi Xiao laughed sarcastically: "How much money can Bairen have to make him squander like this."

Jiang Deqing shook his head: "The prince probably doesn't know it yet. He just thought it was just to do a marriage. Hi..."

As the two were talking, the maid outside came in and said, "Crown Prince, the prince of Lingnan is here."

Jiang Deqing looked at Qi Xiao. Including the Bairen had been here three times this time, Qi Xiao asked him to block it politely every time. Jiang Deqing looked at Qi Xiao's face: "Your Highness, this time..."

"I'll see you this time." Qi Xiao looked at the distributor on the desk and smiled faintly, "Your Highness the Prince has given you a lot of things to the King of Gu these days, and Gu always wants to give him a reply..."
