After the rebirth, I was picked up by the prince

In the end, Qi Zizhen couldn't think of anything anymore, Song Yaoxu was worried about his body and didn't let him continue to think, and told him to take a good rest and prepare to go back to the palace soon.

Qi Zizhen didn't want to delay his rest, so he nodded in response, and temporarily put aside today's fainting incident, and waited until the guard came back to thank him sincerely, and then went to rest with peace of mind.

In the next few days, Qi Zizhen didn't think about what happened that night any more, and continued wandering around the capital every day according to his previous plan.

Sometimes he was invited to play chess with Yu Feiang in the Lingke Building, and sometimes he went to other places to "encounter" some officials and communicate with them for a long or short time.

Qi Zizhen had already studied the behavior styles of most officials in the court in recent years. After "meeting" an official, he brought out the skills of talking to people and talking nonsense to the fullest, but basically he didn't He will deliberately create a persona as he did when facing Yu Feiang.

After all, too many people are prone to schizophrenia, and it is easy to overturn.

Or maybe it's because of the frequent activities of the National Teacher recently, besides Qi Zizhen's chance encounters, there are often officials who take the initiative to entertain him.

When Qi Zizhen received the invitation, he would deliberately filter the status of the inviter, and combine some of his experiences in the previous life, regardless of which side they belonged to, as long as they were of value, he would accept all invitations, and ignore those who did not. deal with.

All of a sudden, the court's evaluation of him was cut apart.Some people think he is cold and aloof, some people think he is cold and restrained, and some people think he is hypocritical.

But it is undeniable that his reputation among officials suddenly became much higher than before.

Qi Zizhen pretended not to hear their comments, and continued walking according to his own plan.

However, during this period, Yu Feiang was the one he had the most contacts with, and some officials were still connected by Yu Feiang.

In Yu Feiang's view, the most important thing in the officialdom is the relationship between people. If you just do your own thing aloofly, you will easily fall into the situation of being attacked by enemies, and you don't know how you will die when the time comes.

And after he returned from the National Teacher Tower that day, he thought carefully about the rationality of Song Yaoxu's appearance at the National Teacher Tower at night, and roughly guessed that their relationship might not stop at ordinary friends.

In addition, in the recent communication, Yu Feiang and the officials he is familiar with have known that Qi Zizhen often appears in a cold and measured manner, alienated but not indifferent, it seems that he has a certain degree of vigilance.

So he naturally thought that Song Yaoxu had taught Qi Zizhen to do the recent communication, and his impression of Qi Zizhen's simple mind was strengthened, and he couldn't help but out of love, match Qi Zizhen with officials who had a better relationship with him.

Qi Zizhen felt Yu Feiang's kindness, and his conscience hurt again.

He pretended to be so innocent and just wanted to see if he could win Yu Feiang under their influence, but he didn't expect Yu Feiang to be so sincere, so he couldn't bear to continue pretending. .

But at this time, the relationship between him and Yu Feiang can't be considered very deep. Once exposed, it will easily cause greater backlash.

I can only wait for a chance to tell him clearly in the future, and apologize by the way.

When Qi Zizhen left Yu Feiang's mansion one time, holding a bosom full of health-preserving herbs, he could only make such a decision first, and only hoped that it would not hurt Yu Feiang's heart too much.

For the first time, Qi Zizhen, who often has no conscience, regrets his carelessness.

But no matter whether his conscience comes back or not, he still has to play with his scheming, after all, the most important thing for him right now is to help Song Yaoxu stabilize his country.

Therefore, Qi Zizhen did not forget to pay attention to the movements of Song Ping, Lu Yuanbai and that woman during this period of time.

Several times when he went to the Lingke Building alone, he deliberately chose a place on the first floor of the lobby that was more secluded, but he could clearly see the entrance. He noticed that the three of them would often go to the Lingke Building in the afternoon when there were least people. Come, stay for one or two hours each time.

The sound insulation effect of the tea room in the Ling Guest House is relatively mediocre. The only advantage is that the location of the tea room is high enough and the number of people is small enough. Generally, no one would think of coming here to plot something.

Qi Zizhen also considered going over to eavesdrop, but for the sake of safety and because of the lingering uneasiness in his heart, he finally gave up this idea, and just asked the guards to help check the identity of the foreign woman in private .

In February, the ice and snow melted and everything recovered, and it was another early spring of the year.

After the coldest winter, Qi Zizhen's physical and mental conditions are obviously much better than before, not to mention the resurrection with full blood, it is also much better than the state of residual blood waiting to be injured.

My body is much better, and my heart is more turbulent than before.

Before that, Qi Zizhen, who was thinking that his body would only go out once or twice a day, now often goes out for a whole day as soon as he goes out. Several times when Song Yaoxu came to the National Master Tower to look for him, he was in vain.

So on the [-]th day of February, Qi Zizhen, who was having a rough time, was blocked by Song Yaoxu at the entrance of the National Teacher Tower when he wanted to go out again.

Song Yaoxu stood at the door with his arms folded, looking at him with a half-smile: "I heard that Master Guoshi is very busy recently."

Qi Zizhen felt guilty for a while when he saw him, touched his nose and replied in a low voice with no confidence: "It's still, it's okay."

Song Yaoxu's expression remained unchanged, and he asked again slowly: "I don't know if Master Guoshi is going to see Yu Shilang, Bachelor of Letters or Li Jinshi when he is going out today?"

He could vaguely hear something was wrong in his tone, Qi Zizhen thought about it and said bravely: "Zhu, Zhu Shangshu..."

The smile in Song Yaoxu's eyes deepened, but it also brought out a bit of gnashing of teeth.

Qi Zizhen immediately added a sentence: "Emperor Shunhe next door!"

Zhu Fengyu's mansion is a bit close to the imperial palace, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he lives next door to the imperial palace.

Listening to the second half of his remedial sentence, Song Yaoxu snorted lightly with a smile, held his wrist and led him back to the direction of the National Teacher Tower.

Qi Zizhen glanced at the harmonious and peaceful early spring scene outside, felt a little regretful, but obediently followed him into the house.

After all, although early spring is not as cold as winter, the coolness has not dissipated. Most of the inns and restaurants have already turned off the heaters. It is the coldest period of time indoors.

It is easy for him to catch a cold and get sick by accident when he frequents various inns and restaurants so frequently.

Qi Zizhen was dragged by Song Yaoxu all the way back to the top of the National Teacher Tower, he behaved like a quail, fortunately Xu Xiaoqi had already gone to the palace to study with Song Shi, otherwise there would be no majesty of the National Teacher left.

After he returned to his room, Song Yaoxu pushed him to the side and sat down. Then he saw Song Yaoxu test the temperature of the tea on the table, and when he found that everything was cold and cold, he squinted at him, sighed, and picked it up as if resigned to his fate. The teapot went downstairs again.

Qi Zizhen always felt that from Song Yaoxu's gaze just now, he saw three points of worry, three points of blame, four points of gnashing of teeth and ninety points of helplessness.

To be honest, because he always went out for a whole day these days, and he drank tea and water outside every time, he hadn't drank water in the National Master Tower for quite a while.

He was so guilty that he didn't speak, and sat on the chair peacefully, even when Song Yaoxu came back, his movements didn't change.

Song Yaoxu glanced at him again, also did not speak, poured him a cup of tea that had been air-dried to a perfect temperature, put it on the table for him to take by himself, then turned to look for a book in front of the bookshelf, as if he didn't intend to pay attention to it. he.

Sure enough, he was still angry.

Qi Zizhen moved slowly to the table, took a few sips from the teacup, and thought about how to coax people at this time.

In the past, when Song Yaoxu was angry, he always listened to him with a smirk, and it was the first time he ignored him.

Qi Zizhen, who was not very good at coaxing people, had a headache, and unconsciously drank the tea without thinking of what to do.

Is it still too late to admit your mistake obediently at this time?

Qi Zizhen slowly put the teacup back on the table, and was about to take action to try if it was too late, when his stomach growled suddenly.

Song Yaoxu, who was rummaging through the scrolls, stopped, turned around and frowned: "Didn't you have breakfast earlier?"

Qi Zizhen lowered his head halfway, and replied in a low voice: "I got up late, I didn't have time..."

Hearing his light voice, Song Yaoxu sighed again, closed the scroll in his hand and went downstairs.

This time Qi Zizhen didn't sit still in the chair, and followed Song Yaoxu to the small dining room downstairs without saying a word.

Song Yaoxu didn't care about him, and when he got to the dining room, he took out some ingredients and started preparing for breakfast.

Qi Zizhen moved a small bench and sat aside, quietly watching Song Yaoxu's movements.

But it was also at this point that he realized something was wrong.

Compared with the skillful and comfortable past, this time Song Yaoxu stumbled and stumbled during the breakfast, several times he paused for a long time before remembering what to do next.

From this point of view, he didn't seem to be angry, but something that was enough to make him uneasy weighed on him, and he was so indifferent today.

When Song Yaoxu almost touched the edge of the pot with his bare hands again, Qi Zizhen got up in time and walked to his side, gently holding his wrist.

The porridge in the pot was boiling now. After stopping Song Yaoxu, Qi Zizhen went to the side and scooped up half a spoonful of water to put out the stove fire. Then he looked at Song Yaoxu again, raised his right hand and gently grabbed his sleeve A corner: "His Royal Highness... Are you unhappy?"

He deliberately softened his voice, sounding very obedient, as if he was worried that he was making him unhappy.

Seeing his aggrieved and pitiful appearance, Song Yaoxu couldn't help but soften his heart. He stretched out his hand to pull him into his arms, wrapped one hand around his shoulder, and stroked the back of his head with the other hand, but remained silent and never spoke.

Qi Zizhen always felt that his mood was not right, so he raised his arms to hug him back, and asked softly, "What happened? Although I may not be able to take care of myself, I can still take care of His Highness's emotions. "

I don't know if he heard the cautious temptation in his words, Song Yaoxu sighed, and said softly: "Zizhen, sometimes I really want to lock you in the palace of the palace, and you are not allowed to go anywhere."

His tone was neither salty nor weak, and it was hard to tell whether it was the truth or a joke.

Qi Zizhen's body froze for a moment, and then he relaxed his expression and tone as much as possible and said, "But I believe His Highness will not do this, right?"

Song Yaoxu didn't answer, but the hand that was caressing the back of his head moved down a little bit, gently stroking the back of his fragile neck.

——This is a very dangerous action.

Qi Zizhen felt a tremor like electric current spreading from the back of his neck, his hair stood on end, and the smile that was not deep on his face froze for a moment: "...Your Highness wouldn't do this, right?"

His tone became visibly uncertain.

"Maybe." Song Yaoxu only gave an ambiguous answer, and the drooping eyelashes covered the dark thoughts flowing in his eyes.

In that life, after Qi Zizhen fainted in the guest house in Lingling, his body was already on the verge of getting worse, but he didn't know where he learned to use rouge and gouache to cover up his complexion, which made him and Ning Qingwei mistakenly think that he was just getting along with him. A minor illness as usual.

Later, Qi Zizhen frequented various parts of the capital, socializing with various officials.

And it was still winter in that life, his body would take a turn for the worse when he was imprisoned unjustly, probably because of the busy running around during that time.

He remembered what Ning Qingwei said to persuade Qi Zizhen when he was in prison in this life, but he couldn't help but have some dark thoughts, trying to lock people firmly in front of him.

Countless rebirths and countless disappointments and even despair, he really didn't want to go through it again.
