"You're back?" Xiao Xi walked towards him.

Chu Haotian frowned, "Xiao Xi, take little Taozi back to the imperial capital first."

Xiao Xi froze for a moment, "Did something happen?"

"I want to leave here immediately, it is inconvenient to take you, so you and Xiao Taozi go back first! I have already sent someone to prepare the horse, and someone will protect you along the way." Chu Antian's brows were still tightened, making it hard to see clues.

Xiao Xi stared at him, nodded after a while, and said softly, "I see, I'll go back immediately."

"My lord, it's so late now, why don't we leave tomorrow?" Looking at Xiao Xi who was stroking the horse, Tao Zi couldn't help asking, he was afraid that something bad would happen when he went back at night.

"Just go back now." Xiao Xi looked indifferent, jumped on the horse and ran, Tao Zi immediately got on the horse and followed behind.

It was indeed unsafe to travel at night, but the two were lucky to have just returned to the mansion at dawn.

"Xiao Xi."

As soon as Xiao Xi dismounted, he heard someone calling him from behind.

Looking back, it was King Huai of Chu who had returned to the Heavenly Dynasty. Just after he came back, did King Huai of Chu come back to look for him by such a coincidence?

"King Huai of Chu." Xiao Xi walked over to face him and held hands, and the guards beside him also bowed to Xiao Xi to show their respect.

Little Taozi came after he had tied up his horse.

"Did King Huai come here specially to find Xiao Xi today?" Xiao Xi asked doubtfully.

"That's right, I have been here in the imperial capital for two days, and no one has accompanied me. Today, I have come here uninvited. How about asking Princess Hao to accompany me?" King Huai of Chu said politely to Xiao Xiao. Xi is also a sincere gesture.

Xiao Xi was very tired, but with King Chuhuai's attitude, Xiao Xi couldn't refuse.

"Xiao Xi will naturally go to the invitation of King Huai of Chu." Xiao Xi said humbly.

King Huai of Chu raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly, and made a gesture of invitation.

Xiao Xi smiled faintly, stepped forward and walked with him.

Walking around and looking around, King Huai of Chu seemed to be less interested in things in the imperial capital, Xiao Xi followed behind him indifferently.Although King Huai of Chu hadn't been to Beijing for a few years, he still seemed to be very familiar with the imperial capital. He was familiar with walking and didn't need the company of others.

"Xiao Xi, what do you think of this pair of pendants?"

Xiao Xi raised his eyes, just as King Huai of Chu let go of the pendant and hung it in the air.Xiao Xi was stunned for a moment, this pair of pendants was polished exquisitely and beautifully, although it was not a high-quality item, it could catch people's eyes at a glance.

"Is this supposed to be a token of love for those who love each other?" Xiao Xi asked lightly, his eyes flashed in a daze when he saw the pair of pendants, "Well, do you think it looks good?" King Huai of Chu stared at Xiao Xi closely. Hee, with a smile on his lips.

"King Huai's gaze is naturally not bad."

"Since that's the case, how about I buy it as a gift for you? Even if it's a return gift for you to accompany me around the imperial capital."

"Inappropriate." Xiao Xi frowned slightly and directly refused, "This is not in line with your status. It is Xiao Xi's honor to be invited by King Huai."

"Well, if that's the case, then I won't force it." King Huai of Chu bought the pair of pendants and took them away.

"I'm tired of shopping too, or let's find a tavern first!" Before Xiao Xi could respond, King Huai of Chu had already stepped into the nearest tavern.

The two sat in the tavern for a while before leaving.Xiao Xi was already tired, and he drank a lot of wine with King Huai of Chu. When he returned to the mansion, he felt that his whole body was heavy, his head was heavy, and he fell asleep before taking a bath. He developed a high fever the next day .

"Yesterday, the young master was blown by the wind all night, and he was ordered to drink a lot of wine by the King Huai of Chu, so it's no wonder he didn't pour it!" Xiao Taozi's tone was full of blame, mixed with guilt and worry about Xiao Xi.

Xiao Xi didn't tell others about Xiao Xi's return, and little Taozi didn't want to tell those Yingying and Yanyan that they were coming to quarrel with the young master, and even ordered his servants to keep a close eye on his mouth.At this time, only the doctor and the old lady who were just invited were by Xiao Xi's side.

The old lady's complexion was not very good, but she didn't seem to be targeting his son.

"Xie'er, how do you feel?" The old lady stepped forward and asked worriedly when she saw Xiao Xi opened her eyes.

"Don't worry, mother-in-law, I'm fine."

"That's good, you have a good rest, and tell me if you have anything."

"Yes!"

The old lady reached out to touch his forehead again, sighed and went down.

After taking the medicine, Xiao Xi was much better the next day.

"My lord, I think it is necessary for you to practice swords with us to improve your health."

Xiao Xi glanced at him with a smile, then suppressed his smile, and sighed slightly, "I don't know what's going on with Zhao Youjing."

"Mr. Zhao is back. The Xijing Villa is basically completed. The only thing that needs to be done is the layout. Mr. Zhao will come back first."

Xiao Xi was surprised, "So fast?"

"I heard that Mr. Zhao directly asked Mr. Xuanming for a large number of people, so the progress of the project has been accelerated a lot."

Xiao Xi nodded upon hearing this, "Go and see him tomorrow."

"Well, young master, the most important thing you should do now is to take care of your health. Young master, you shouldn't have gone drinking with King Huai of Chu yesterday." Little Taozi frowned tightly, with a bitter face.

Xiao Xi remained silent, looking out of the window.

"My lord, he... feels too much. Drive the young master back halfway."

"Don't say that, he has something to do." Xiao Xi said lightly.

"But..." Little Taozi wanted to argue, but couldn't say anything, and finally drooped his head like a discouraged rubber ball.

Xiao Xi went to see Zhao Youjing after he got better again.Obviously, Zhao Youjing became thinner and darker, but he looked much tougher.

"Xiao Xi, are you here?" Zhao Youjing smiled and squeezed to Xiao Xi's side with big white teeth.

Before Xiao Xi could speak, Mrs. Cui Yin also came out, and said happily, "Xiao Xi, long time no see."

Zhao Youjing was stunned for a moment, then looked at Cui Yin, his eyes widened, "What do you call him?"

"I told her to change the address." Xiao Xi looked at Zhao Youjing with light eyes.

"Oh." Zhao Youjing said bluntly, and took a look at Cui Yin who didn't know why.

The three of them sat down and drank tea in the Xijing Court.

"Xiao Xi, we still have a lot of funds, why don't we start a brothel first! I guarantee that our brothel will be even more popular than the No. [-] brothel in the imperial capital, 'Tianzuifang'!" Zhao Youjing vowed, bluffing His momentum is stronger than anyone else.

Xiao Xi would rather be with him.

"But now there is no one." Xiao Xi said calmly, raising his hand to offer a sip of tea.

"You!"

Xiao Xi raised her eyebrows, "Is my identity inappropriate?"

Zhao Youjing patted the table, "Xiao Xi, do you know that Tianzuifang will hold the three-year Emperor's Flower Feast in five months' time, this is a feast that will shock even the Celestial Dynasty, if the brothel we run is better than their feast It’s too late, we’ll only be drowned by then! Why don’t we take advantage of this big banquet to build our reputation first!”

The imperial flower feast, Xiao Xi vaguely remembered this feast, Chu Haotian didn't seem to be in the imperial capital at that time.

"Well, let's start the brothel first."

"Okay, I've already researched the location and the building section, you can go and have a look with me tomorrow!"

Xiao Xi nodded, "I will come over tomorrow, if you can, just buy it!"

"Okay!" Zhao Youjing nodded heavily, then turned his head and thought again, "Hey, Xiao Xi, when did you become so easy to talk?"

Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows, "Do you have an opinion? Then tomorrow..."

"No opinion, no opinion!!" Zhao Youjing glanced at Xiao Xi with a smile, and muttered in a low voice, "When the time comes to choose a boy, just use Xiao Xi as the standard!"

As soon as Zhao Youjing's villainous words fell, Xiao Taozi slapped him on the head hard, "Don't talk nonsense!"

"Hey, I'm just joking, why are you so cruel." Zhao Youjing rubbed his head in pain, Xiao Taozi hit his head with the hilt of his sword, it hurt so badly.

The three talked for a while, then Xiao Xi got up and wanted to leave.

"Xiao Xi?" Zhao Youjing stopped him, and said behind him, "Remember to go to the villa again when you have time, the hot spring water has already been brought down, and I soaked in the first water, it is very comfortable, and can relieve the fatigue of the whole body!"

Xiao Xi looked back at him, smiled at him, and nodded.

After Xiao Xi left, Zhao Youjing sat back to his original seat, and Cui Yin looked at him while drinking tea, "Mr. Zhao, don't you have any unreasonable thoughts about Mr. Xiao?"

Zhao Youjing didn't look at her, picked up the snacks on the table and ate them, "Don't talk nonsense."

"Mr. Zhao, an ordinary person would never say that Mr. Xiao is the standard to find a man. Fortunately, Mr. Xiao doesn't care. Otherwise, with your insulting words, how could someone let you go?"

Mr. Zhao smiled coldly, "It's because he never keeps my words in his heart and always ignores my words, so I dare to say them. He, apart from doing business, he may never take my words seriously. .”

Cui Yin raised her eyes and glanced at him, "You can take care of yourself, after all, Mr. Xiao is also someone I respect very much." After finishing speaking, Cui Yin put down her teacup and left.

Xiao Xi started to take over the affairs of the brothel, and would find a time in a day to go out to manage the affairs of the brothel, and occasionally let Xiao Taozi do it for him when he couldn't leave the mansion.

Under Xiao Xi's management, the brothel started to operate step by step. The decoration and layout were all Xiao Xi's reference to other brothels plus his own ideas, most of which were his own ideas.

Little Taozi's heart is not stable, the young master is the princess of Prince Hao's mansion, if others find out that Princess Hao is running a brothel, what will others think of him?Thinking about it, Xiao Taozi couldn't help complaining about Zhao Youjing again, it was all this man's idea! !

Suddenly a figure flashed in front of him, and Xiao Taozi looked over subconsciously, it was Luo Yue who was walking past.

Little Taozi's heart skipped a beat, Luoyue's presence proved that the prince is back, but the young master is still outside!

"Luoyue!" Little Taozi quickly stepped forward to stop him.

Luo Yue froze for a moment, then looked at him coldly, "Tao Cheng? Why are you here?"

Little Taozi...

"Isn't it normal for me to be here?"

Luo Yue frowned, "This is Gui Lin's side concubine's courtyard."

It was only then that little Taozi came to his senses, "Um, I..., I'm not..."

Luo Yue took a look at him and left before he finished speaking. Little Taozi heaved a sigh of relief, it's a good thing he left, otherwise little Taozi wouldn't know how to answer.

Glancing at the back of Luoyue leaving, little Taozi turned around and went back to the lobby. There was a lot of commotion in the mansion along the way. It seemed that King Hao really came back, but why didn't he see anyone?Just as Xiao Taozi was thinking, he saw Chu Haotian walking towards him, followed by a woman he had never seen before.

Tao Zi frowned, could it be that the prince brought it in from outside?

"My lord." When he approached, little Taozi saluted him, glanced at the woman and lowered his head.

"Where's Xiao Xi?"

"My lord, my lord has something to leave the house^" Chu Haotian frowned, his tone impatient, "What can he do?"

Little Taozi remained silent, Chu Haotian stepped away, and the woman behind immediately followed him closely.

As soon as Chu Haotian left, Xiao Taozi immediately went out of the house to look for Xiao Xi.Xiao Xi was discussing matters with the carpenter at the moment, with his sleeves rolled up high, revealing his beautiful white hands with sporadic sawdust on his hands.

Little Taozi felt distressed suddenly, his son was from a wealthy family, when did he have to do this kind of rough work?

"Young Master." Little Taozi called out, and walked quickly to his side.

Young Master Xiao looked up at him, "Are you here?" After speaking, he lowered his head and continued to work.

"My lord, don't do it, just let the carpenters do the work."

"It's okay, I just want to try."

Little Taozi was a little discouraged, and pursed his lips slightly, "My lord, Xiao Xi was taken aback when the lord came back, he hasn't seen Chu Haotian for more than half a month.

"My lord, we have to go back to the mansion quickly, the prince has already asked about you just now."

Xiao Xi lowered his eyes and got up, "You look after this place, I'll go back first."

"Yes, son."

When Xiao Xi returned to the mansion, he didn't have time to change his clothes, so he just waved the sawdust on his clothes and went to the lobby.

When Chu Haotian saw him, he couldn't help but frowned, "What did you do?"

"I went to Muzhuang and wanted to change the door of the back door of the kitchen." It's good to leave this kind of thing to the servants, so you need to do it?By the way, this is Qianqian, I have brought her into the mansion, you go and arrange a garden for her! "

Xiao Xi was stunned for a moment, feeling a slight tingle in his heart, "Yes."

"Thank you lord, thank you wangfei." The woman named Qianqian was polite, and saluted Xiao Xi generously.

Xiao Xi smiled at her lightly, then called Nanny Cai to take him down together.

"Princess, you looked so pretty when you smiled just now." Qianqian looked at Xiao Xi and said innocently.

Looking at her, Xiao Xi suddenly thought of Zhu An, and couldn't help but smile wryly in her heart, it's not that she doesn't want it anymore, but someone will replace it at any time.

This woman named Qianqian is very similar to Fang Zhu'an back then.

"Where did Qianqian come from?"

"Wenzhou, it was I who wanted to come back with the prince. Bi Jingqian was helpless, and only the prince could take me in. I am very grateful to the prince, and even more grateful to the princess, for taking me in." Qianqian spoke sincerely. Looking at Xiao Xi with sparkling eyes, she looked like an innocent little girl.

"It's the prince's credit to be able to stay. You should thank the prince." Xiao Xi said lightly.

Qianqian was stunned for a moment, then smiled sweetly at Xiao Xi.

Xiao Xi arranged her properly, and couldn't help but went to Zhu'an's yard.
