Qi Xiao changed his clothes and asked Jiang Deqing to invite Bai Ren to the study room.

Bairen didn't have much hope this time, and he was blocked after coming several times. Jiang Deqing was always polite and thoughtful. Bairen himself was a little confused, but for Roujia's sake, he was willing to go any number of trips. This time, when Jiang Deqing said that Qi Xiao was willing to see him, Bairen's heart finally fell to the ground and paused: "The prince... is in the study now?"

Although Bai Ren has been here several times, this is the first time he has met Qi Xiao. In this case, the host usually entertains guests in the hall. Bai Ren thinks that he is not familiar with Qi Xiao and can go directly to the study. Jiang Deqing saw Bai Ren and smiled a little hesitantly and said, "The prince said that the prince is not an outsider, so there is no need to stick to the vain etiquette, it is easy to talk to the study."

Bai Ren did not doubt that he was there, nodded and followed Jiang Deqing out of the main hall, turned around the winding corridor, and entered Qi Xiao's study all the way.

Qi Xiao was sitting in front of the couch and enjoying the set of tea sets sent by Bai Ren. When he saw someone coming, he stood up and smiled: "The common people are busy, so I let the prince run away these few trips. Is it a lonely one, and the prince should not be surprised."

Bai Ren was still thinking about the coldness of Qi Xiao in the palace. Seeing that Qi Xiao was not grudged, he was much gentle and assured as before, and smiled: "The prince is so serious. I am too leisurely on weekdays. Just don't bother me."

"Where are there." Qi Xiao turned his head and smiled at Jiang Deqing, "Prepare some boiling water. The prince happened to come. He borrowed flowers to offer Buddha and used this good tea set to entertain him."

When Jiang Deqing heard this, he quickly sent a tea slap with boiling water. Bai Ren could not let Qi Xiao do it himself. He smiled and said, "I dare not, Bai Ren is a tea ceremony. If the prince does not dislike it, let Bai Ren make a cup of the prince."

Qi Xiao smiled: "It's so good."

The two sat opposite each other, Bai Ren knelt in front of the tea table, rolled up his cuffs, took the tea hanger and made the tea set in turn. His movements were skillful and elegant. Qi Xiao looked at him with a smile and chuckled, "I have heard that the prince's prince has practiced both virtue and art. It is better to see him at first sight than to hear him. As expected."

"The prince is praised." Bai Ren put the scalded Qianquan jade pot, took two spoons of tea leaves, leaned over and took the tea hanger and poured half of the teapot boiling water, shook it a little, pouring the boiling water, and was like gossiping, "To put it, these are still learned from the sister-she, not by myself, I can't bear the word "double cultivation of virtue and art". The sister-she deserves it."

Bai Ren poured the boiling water in again, put the teapot in front of the desk, and while taking the silk squid and rubbing his hands, he looked at Qi Xiao's expression carefully. Qi Xiao saw Bai Ren looking at him secretly and was amused. He wanted to tease him again, but he couldn't help but follow his intention and asked with interest: "What the prince said is, is the second daughter of the King of Lingnan, Princess Kang Tai?"

"That's right." Bai Ren was nervous, pinched his cuffs without any trace, and said slowly, "The father often said that among the girls of our generation, Kang Tai can still bear the four words "Lady of a Grandpa". Haha... the prince laughed."

Bai Ren picked up the jade pot and shook it gently. The light looked at Qi Xiao's expression without any trace. Qi Xiao's face was still moving, but he liked Bai Ren more and more. He thought Bai Ren was so anxious that he would probably mention his sister's affairs. Unexpectedly, he could bear it. He didn't mention his sister. He first praised his concubine's sister and pointed out that this concubine's sister was very favored. He seemed calm and gentle, but he was bleeding.

Qi Xiao smiled faintly: "Where, since the King of Lingnan praised it so much, I think the princess must be a wonderful person with a beautiful and wise man. I don't know if he is married to someone who is blessed in the future."

Bai Ren was three-pointed in his heart, calmed down and continued to talk and laugh: "Talk about this... Bai Ren heard by chance recently that the grain transport officer would bring a good news to Lingnan this time. I asked boldly, don't you know if it's true or false?"

Qi Xiao was funny in his heart. He was still too young, so he couldn't hold back his anger. Qi Xiao seemed to suddenly remember something and smiled and said, "Oh, by the way, I thought about it before, and I almost forgot about it after saying a few words to the prince. It was the matter of escorting food and grass that I had to discuss with the prince... Jiang Deqing."

Bai Ren thought Qi Xiao was finally going to showdown, so he couldn't help but sit up slightly. However, Jiang Deqing turned around and walked out with a stack of documents in his hand, bowed to Qi Xiao, and Qi Xiao smiled gently: "In recent years, there have been few people in the court and Lingnan who are familiar with each other. There is no way, so Gu asked them to summon a few Lingnan people, but they were not good at doing things. A few of them were actually from the mansion. After sending the documents, Gu saw it. There was no way, so he could only feel wronged. If the mansion was serving him, the prince would just tell Gu, and Gu Wang immediately let the Ministry of Internal Affairs send the most useful slaves."

Since he arrived at the imperial city, the emperor has transferred many people from him and replaced them to monitor him. He has learned more about this trick, but he doesn't care. He shook his head and smiled: "No need, there are still people in the mansion to serve him."

Qi Xiao smiled: "That's good, this is a dispatch document. Please trouble the prince to take it back..."

"Yes." Bai Ren was not at all thinking about it. After taking the document, he started to say something just now, "Crown Prince, then... Chaoge?!"

There was a hint of cruelty in Qi Xiao's eyes, for fear that Bai Ren would not be able to see it. The first copy of the document was Cen Chaoge's name.

Bai Ren suddenly looked at Qi Xiao, and Qi Xiao paused and said in confusion: "What's wrong? Oh, Cen Chaoge... Isn't this the prince's companion?"

Bai Ren nodded in a wooden manner: "Yes... Is it my companion, why is he... also on the accompanying list?"

Qi Xiao was stunned: "Isn't this what you mean? To be honest, the prince of the country, when Gu Wang first saw this person, he thought that since he was your companion, how could he send it back easily? He immediately called the person in charge of the matter to investigate. Fortunately, the man was a timid. After a few questions from Gu Wang, he asked him to collect 13,000 taels of silver notes from the prince of Lingnan, and asked him to tie Cen Chaoge to the ranks of the accompanying party. When Gu heard that it was your intention, he ignored it... By the way, the man was timid and even sent the silver notes to Gu."

Qi Xiao turned his head and Jiang Deqing immediately sent a stack of silver notes. Qi Xiao smiled gently and leaned over to put the silver notes in front of Bai Ren: "You are alone here, and you probably don't have much silver on you. Why spend it so much for a companion? Put it away yourself. If you have such a thing next time, just come to the Lord of Orphan directly. If you can do it, you will be alone and stay alone."

Bai Ren took the silver note numbly, his voice was a little hoarse: "But I don't know... the person who took the bribe was..."

Qi Xiao smiled cruelly: "The Chief Executive of the Office of the Internal Affairs, Xixiang."

Bai Ren closed his eyes and understood everything.

Cen Chaoge asked for money from him again and again, just to... In order to return to Lingnan, he was stupid. He obviously found it strange, but he just asked about some things and could use so much money, but he never thought about asking more...

Bai Ren's eyes suddenly turned red, and he turned his head and took a deep breath. His fist was clenched tightly without control, trying his best to suppress the great pain in his heart, and refused to lose his composure in front of others. Qi Xiao saw it in his eyes, and for some reason he suddenly felt a little sore in his heart. Just when he was about to say something, Bai Ren wiped the corners of his eyes without any trace. He leaned over and picked up the jade pot, burned the teacup and poured a cup for Qi Xiao, served it with both hands, and smiled reluctantly: "Where did you say it just now, oh by the way... Bai Ren was curious. Is the good news in the rumor true or false?"

Qi Xiao looked at Bai Ren in fascinated, but in a moment, he actually packed up his demeanor. Qi Xiao always thought that no one could get out of his way in forbearance, but this time he had to give in. Qi Xiao took the teacup and blew it gently, chuckling in his heart. He read that right, Bai Ren and him were the same type of people.

Qi Xiao became more and more confident that for Roujia, Bai Ren could tolerate anything.

According to Qi Xiao’s original plan, Bai Ren will explain it clearly today. Whether the marriage is true or false is all up to Bai Ren. If Bai Ren wants to keep his sister, it is okay, but he has to pay for it. If Bai Ren knows and is keen, he might be able to take advantage of it today...

But somehow, when he looked at Bai Ren like this, Qi Xiao suddenly felt soft-hearted. Bai Ren just knew about Cen Chaoge, and now he was holding on in front of him. He didn't know how stormy it was. If he made up for another knife...

Qi Xiao sighed in his heart, "That's it, it's just that I'm pushing people too tightly. If something goes wrong, will it be him who suffers?"

"I'm not hiding the prince. The prince's good news was heard by the prince, but he really didn't know it." Qi Xiao smiled calmly, "It's not that he pretended to be stupid. In the marriage matter, the prince can only listen to the orders of his parents and matchmakers. His father and mother have never mentioned this to the princess. The prince has only heard a few words or two, but it's not clear what exactly. But since the prince asked, Gu will ask tomorrow. If he knows the truth, he will naturally tell the prince."

Qi Xiao was sincere, and Bai Ren couldn't guess whether he knew it or not. Bai Ren was very confused, afraid that he would make too many mistakes, and if he annoyed Qi Xiao, it would be more than worth it. He had to agree, and then gave up a few words without any pain and said goodbye.

Qi Xiao sent Bai Ren to Yimen, and he turned back to the house until the person got into the sedan chair. Jiang Deqing followed him and couldn't help asking: "Your Highness... Why don't you leave the prince's mind today? Just let him go back like that. What if the clan's clan's tongue is so good that he can turn his mind back..."

"No." Qi Xiao was still recalling the scene just now, "Bai Ren is not stupid. The evidence in black and white is there. Is Cen Chaoge so clean? Unless he bites to death, he said that it was all me who accused me, and he tried not to go back to Lingnan to prove his innocence, but... hehe, do you think he can bear it?"

"Instead of waiting for Cen Chaoge to come up with a set of high-sounding rhetoric to explain, I might as well make clear the matter first and let them distinguish it themselves. Only when the gratitude is completely broken will I be able to start..."

Qi Xiao smiled faintly: "Why are you in a hurry? Are you afraid that he can't tame him?"
