Traveling through books to ancient times, I provoke the love of villains and powerful ministers

Although Li Wenkang's birthday banquet cannot be organized in a grand manner, Guo has prepared everything that should be included in the birthday banquet.

Several in-laws, the Zhang family, the Bai family, and Yunming's future in-law family, the Xie family, all received extremely formal invitations to the banquet.

Speaking of the Xie family, the marriage of Xie Yingyue and Yunming, the youngest daughter of the Xie family, was originally scheduled for the end of last year. However, at that time, there was chaos in the court and war at the border. Neither family wanted to get into trouble at this time, so they sat together to discuss the future. Postpone the wedding for a while.

It's not just Yunming's wedding. Nowadays, all the families in the capital not only dare not hold weddings, but even the inevitable funerals dare to do it quietly and as low-key as possible at home.

After all, not long ago, a minister invited several more colleagues to the family's child's full-moon banquet. When Li Qiming found out, he became furious, dismissed his official position and asked him to return home directly.

The superiors are incompetent, but they have to shoulder the responsibility of their subordinates.

Qi Qingxi's dislike for Li Qiming deepened because of this.

On the day of Li Wenhui's birthday banquet, Qi Qingxi took her two children to the Li Mansion next door after finishing her business at home.

Several members of the Li family arrived before her. They all sat together and chatted for a while. Her sister-in-law, Bai Shi, quietly walked up behind her.

Bai Shurong seemed to have made a lot of determination and patted Qi Qingxi's shoulder gently.

"Sister, I recently got a piece of fine fabric. I wanted to make some clothes, so I tried to draw some patterns myself. I heard that you helped draw many of the clothes in your embroidery shop. I I want you to come to my courtyard to help me look at the patterns I draw, and give me some ideas."

Qi Qingxi was startled when she heard this. Although her relationship with her sister-in-law Bai was not very bad, this was the first time her sister-in-law invited her to sit in her courtyard.

Naturally, Qi Qingxi would not brush off other people's kindness: "Okay, sister-in-law."

She turned to look at Mrs. Guo next to her: "Aunt, the two children..."

Mrs. Guo immediately answered: "You go quickly, we will take care of the two children, just don't worry."

Mrs. Guo had been paying attention to the situation between her eldest daughter-in-law and her nephew as early as when she was walking toward them.

Ever since her unfilial son secretly left home to join the army, she had always felt that she owed something to her daughter-in-law.

Fortunately, my daughter-in-law here has always been well-behaved and sensible, and is fine everywhere, except that she doesn't like to socialize with others.

It was rare that her daughter-in-law actually took the initiative to ask her sister to help her look at clothing patterns today. Mrs. Guo was happy for her to spend more time with her sisters.

Seeing that the two children were taken care of, Qi Qingxi followed Bai Shurong and left with peace of mind.

Along the way, Qi Qingxi was looking for topics to chat with Bai Shurong, but Bai Shurong seemed absent-minded.

Fortunately, he arrived at the courtyard where Bai Shurong lived quickly, otherwise Qi Qingxi really didn't know what else to say.

Bai Shurong walked to the desk on the left side of the bedroom and took out the flower pattern and handed it to Qi Qingxi's hand: "That's it. Sister, please help me check it out."

"Sister-in-law is a heretic." Qi Qingxi took the pattern and looked at it carefully.

"Ah." Bai Shurong suddenly shouted, "I was still thinking of taking out the piece of cloth from the warehouse for you to use, but I left the key in my mother-in-law's courtyard. Please wait for a while, and I will get the key. Come."

After saying that, without waiting for Qi Qingxi's response, Bai Shurong turned around and walked away quickly.

Qi Qingxi looked at her sister-in-law's leaving figure and was very puzzled. She could just leave the key and let her subordinates run over. Why should she go and get it herself? It would be awkward for her to stay alone in someone else's bedroom.

Forget it.

It was rare that her sister-in-law took the initiative to find her, so she sat obediently and didn't move around at will.

Qi Qingxi lowered his head and looked at the drawings carefully, when suddenly there was a slight cough behind him.

"Cough cough."

Qi Qingxi turned around and was stunned when she saw the person coming.

The visitor spoke before her: "I have something to do with Shu Rong, is she not here?"

Qi Qingxi came back to her senses and said, "It's unfortunate that Mr. Bai is here. My sister-in-law has gone to get something elsewhere."

Bai Qingxiao took two steps forward and pulled the chair next to Qi Qingxi, sat down slowly and straightened the hem of her clothes: "Miss Qi shouldn't mind if I sit here waiting for her, right?"

Hearing Bai Qingxiao call herself Miss Qi, Qi Qingxi frowned and said, "Young Master Bai is free."

After that, she ignored Bai Qingxiao, lowered her head and continued to look at the flowers on her hands seriously.

However, Qi Qingxi always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at her. When she looked up, she saw Bai Qingxiao looking at her intently. Even when she looked up, she could not see Bai Qingxiao dodge at all.

Qi Qingxi felt a hint of displeasure in her heart, and she asked with a half-smile, "Master Bai is looking at me like this, is there something dirty on my face?"

"No." Bai Qingxiao still looked at Qi Qingxi without blinking, "Miss Qi's appearance is the same as before."

Hearing Bai Qingxiao call her "Miss Qi" again, Qi Qingxi finally couldn't help but correct her: "I am now married and have a child. Mr. Bai should call me Mrs. Gu."

Originally, she didn't want to worry about calling her Qi Qingxi, but when everyone around her called her Mrs. Qi, only the young master of the Bai family called her Miss Qi every time he saw her, which made her feel very weird and uncomfortable.

Unexpectedly, Bai Qingxiao smiled nonchalantly and said, "You are Mrs. Gu in the eyes of others, but not in my eyes."

Qi Qingxi felt even more uncomfortable when she heard this, and couldn't help but refute him: "No matter whether I am Mrs. Gu in the eyes of others or not, it cannot change the fact that I am Mrs. Gu Zicong."

"Who says it can't be changed." Bai Qingxiao smiled nonchalantly, "You make peace with him, or he gives you a letter of divorce, and you divorce him. After that, you will no longer be Mrs. Gu."

Qi Qingxi stood up with an angry look on his face: "Master Bai, be careful what you say."

This Bai Qingxiao always liked to say some incomprehensible things to her in the past. Since working with Li Qiming, his words have become more and more excessive.

Bai Qingxiao also stood up and looked at Qi Qingxi seriously: "I always speak carefully. If you marry me with Gu Zicong and Li, I will take care of you and your two children for the rest of your life. I will also treat them as my own." .”

Qi Qingxi was immediately furious. She wanted to scold Bai Qingxiao, but she suddenly thought that the person who could say such crazy words might not be a lunatic himself. It was a waste of time for her to argue with a lunatic.

Qi Qingxi didn't say anything more, packed up the drawings on the table and turned around to leave.

Suddenly, her hand was grabbed by someone.

Bai Qingxiao's voice came from behind: "I'm not kidding you."

"Madman." Qi Qingxi turned around and glared at Bai Qingxiao, trying to shake off his hand that was holding her.

Unexpectedly, Bai Qingxiao held her hand tighter.
