Man Xilan

Liu Lan.

Su Qizhi walked up to Liu Lan, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you? You seem to be in a bad mood."

"It's nothing. It's just that I drank and slept late yesterday."

"Really?" Su Qizhi didn't quite believe it, and made sure again.

"It's really like that." Liu Lan said with a smile: "Could it be that the fourth prince cares too much about me and can't rest assured?"

Hearing this, Su Qizhi couldn't help but glared at Liu Lan, then turned around and joined Qiao Kang in looking at antiques.

Liu Lan sat alone on the chair, staring at Su Qizhi blankly, her eyes were extremely blank.

When Returning Man Xilan Volume 18 Shocking Changes Chapter [-] The So-Called Gamble

Qiao Kang walked around in Liu Lan's room, looking at the dazzling array of decorations, as if seeing some incredible miracle, he exclaimed from time to time.

"Rare glazed cup ~~ God, it is really the 300-year-old glazed cup recorded in the "Rare Treasure Map"~~~"

"The authentic work of 'Sage of Books'~~ I can actually see it here~~ Qiaomou really died without regrets`~~"

"This Fang Baoyan is the one used by the painting saint back then??~ Rumors say that the whereabouts of this treasure inkstone are unknown, and it turned out to be hidden by the Liu family~"

After seeing those rare decorations, especially the calligraphy and paintings collected by Liu Lan, Qiao Kang, who has always been elegant and gentle, couldn't help shouting.

Qiao Kang was very excited, and Liu Lan's reaction was also abnormal.

At the beginning, he smiled reluctantly, explained the origin of those items with Qiao Kang, and chatted for a few words. In the end, there were only a few casual hums and promises, and the smile on his face disappeared. The look of being absent-minded.

The master's attitude is simply rude.

Fortunately, Qiao Kang focused on those antiques and didn't care.Even if Liu Lan ignored him, he continued to yell excitedly on his own.

But Su Qizhi next to him frowned when he saw it.

From the day I met Liu Lan, at what moment did Liu Lan not look like a well-mannered noble son?Even after being beaten that time, lying on the hospital bed, she looked more relaxed than embarrassed. People who didn't know thought Liu Lan was doing it on purpose.

Such a loss of soul is simply a spectacle in the world.

Su Qizhi looked at Qiao Kang who was beaming with joy, and then at Liu Lan who was depressed. After some comparison in his heart, he still chose to stand beside Qiao Kang and accompany Qiao Kang to look at antiques.

From Su Qizhi's point of view, Qiao Kang is a guest after all, and Liu Lan has known him much longer than Qiao Kang, and now that he is such a so-called "good neighbor", since Liu Lan can't cheer up To entertain guests, then I have to come forward so that the scene will not be too deserted.

Although he did not specifically study these antique calligraphy and paintings, Su Qizhi had been educated by the prince for more than ten years after all. What he had seen, heard, and absorbed by his ears was enough for him to talk eloquently in the face of Qiao Kang's inquiries.

With wonderful collections and wonderful explanations, Qiao Kang's eyes lit up.

Su Qizhi never thought that such a gentle person would be so fanatical when meeting his beloved.

Compared with the usual Qiao Kang, there are simply two people.

After reading those collections over and over for three times, and when Su Qizhi's voice was about to become hoarse, Qiao Kang finally reluctantly put down the things in his hand, and said with some embarrassment: "I'm so groggy, let the fourth prince and Liu Master Lan laughed."

"It's okay, Brother Qiao likes these antiques very much?"

"Well, I have liked these antique calligraphy and paintings since I was a child. Unfortunately, my family has no money, so I can only read them in books and have no chance to touch the real objects. These days, I have been in the Fourth Prince's Mansion and Liu's Mansion, which really opened my eyes. .”

Whether it's his undisguised obsession with antiques, or his description of his predicament when he was a child, Qiao Kang seems to be frank.

The seemingly weak Qiao Kang has the demeanor of a real gentleman.

"Brother Qiao, if you like it, you can come to my mansion often in the future." After Su Qizhi finished speaking, he stared at Liu Lan. Welcome."

Qiao Kang smiled and nodded: "Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient."

Su Qizhi also smiled, as a return gift.

Liu Lan next to him was still wandering in the void without showing any emotion.

So, Su Qizhi could only smile again and make up for Liu Lan's share.

Liu Lan's abnormal state lasted for several days at once.

These days, Liu Lan never appeared in front of Su Qizhi once.

This is really the first time in history.

Ever since Liu Lan came home, didn't she spend most of her time in the Fourth Prince's Mansion?Even at night, they will find all kinds of excuses to stay here.

With Liu Lan's skill, eight out of ten days he was able to succeed.In this way, the Fourth Prince's Mansion is more like Liu Lan's home than the serious Liu Mansion.

At the beginning, Caifu just nagged a few words about why Master Liu Lan didn't come while eating.

Later, Caifu simply lay on the stone table in the yard every day, staring at the wall eagerly, waiting for a moment when Liu Lan could climb over the wall and enter.

Not to mention only thinking about Master Liu Lan's colorful charm, even Su Qizhi felt a little uncomfortable.

If a person is always wandering around you, and disappears all of a sudden, you will always feel empty.

Qiao Kang also felt a little abnormal, and asked Su Qizhi in private: "What happened to Master Liu Lan? Why haven't we seen you for so many days?"

"Maybe his family is busy with business." Apart from this reason, Su Qizhi couldn't think of why Liu Lan didn't come. After all, Liu Lan used to come to report every day regardless of the weather.

"The time I went to Liu's mansion, Master Liu Lan was in poor spirits. Could he be sick?"

Hearing what Qiao Kang said, Su Qizhi couldn't help feeling worried, because Liu Lan was so abnormal last time.

If Liu Lan is really ill, I will go to see him out of emotion and reason.

Yu Li, the two people's courtyards are separated by a wall.The same brook flows in front of the door.

Yu Qing, although Su Qizhi really didn't want to admit it, but when she was with Liu Lan, she was indeed more happy.Liu Lan also takes good care of herself.

"If we want to know if Liu Lan is sick, let's go and see." Su Qizhi said.

After breakfast the next day, Su Qizhi and Qiao Kang climbed over the wall again and came to Liu's Mansion.

As soon as Su Qizhi's feet landed, he saw Liu Lan sitting in the small pavilion, looking at a certain place motionlessly, the direction of his eyes was the wall that he had just jumped off.

That pious gesture was comparable to a colorful talisman.

Qiao Kang laughed when he saw it: "Why does this wall look so obstructive now, as if blocking the Milky Way of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl? If you want me to say, it will be demolished someday."

Qiao Kang's words were meant to tease Liu Lan and Caifu, but Su Qizhi felt that Qiao Kang was teasing Liu Lan and herself after hearing it.

Some strange emotions rose in his heart, before he had time to think about it, Su Qizhi quickened his pace and came to Liu Lan.

Seeing Su Qizhi's figure approaching, Liu Lan's eyes lit up, and a big smile curled up at the corner of her mouth.

Su Qi's heart skipped a beat when he saw such eager eyes and such a warm smile.

The strange emotion just now also expanded inadvertently, and finally rippled in Su Qi's heart.

Coughing lightly, Su Qizhi smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, brother Qiao and I came over today to have a look."

"Master Liu Lan hasn't been to the Fourth Prince's Mansion for a long time, what are you up to recently?" Qiao Kang asked.

"I'm not busy with anything." I just waited for someone to come and find me.

That day, Su Qizhi's drunken words completely confused Liu Lan.

No matter how many calculations are made, it is impossible to calculate that there will be such obstacles on the road of love between himself and the fourth prince.

Soul~~Reincarnation~~Of course there is the most shocking thing, the love for His Majesty Xuandi.

He couldn't remember how he sent the fourth prince back to the bedroom and how he came back over the wall.

When the consciousness returned to the cage, it was already bright outside.

Lying on the bed, I just feel that I have no strength in my whole body, and I don't want to move.

The body is exhausted, but the brain is running at a high speed, and the scenes about the fourth prince are strung together into a picture scroll, flying before his eyes.

Why did the fourth prince exude such strong loneliness since he was a child, why did the fourth prince often look very disturbed, why he insisted that he would not inherit the throne, why the word "Father Emperor" was written all over the snow, and why did the fourth prince and his wife in front of His Majesty... The ordinary fourth prince is like two different people.

There are many reasonable explanations for many things.

As for the truth behind those things, Liu Lan would rather have never heard of them.

Later, Qiao Kang and Su Qizhi's visit only made Liu Lan's mood more complicated.

It's not disgust, it's just that the incident happened suddenly, and I don't know how to face the fourth prince.

Locking herself in the room, after thinking over and over for several days, Liu Lan finally sorted out her thoughts.

When I saw the fourth prince for the first time, what attracted me was his aloof and alienated temperament, and the temperament of a person obviously came from the soul.Therefore, it doesn't matter which soul is on the fourth prince's body, what matters is which soul he saw at that time.

As for the relationship with His Majesty Xuandi~~ Liu Lan is even less worried about this.

Who doesn't know the touching love legend between Emperor Xuan and Concubine Liu?Therefore, His Majesty must not want the feelings of the Fourth Prince.

Since His Majesty doesn't want it, isn't it just a good thing to accept it?

Having figured it out, Liu Lan became optimistic again, and even felt that the 'Fourth Prince' would come into the body of the current Fourth Prince just to meet her.

In order to prove this point, Liu Lan made a bet with herself.

If within five days, the fourth prince took the initiative to come to him, then this point of view is absolutely true.

The next day, Liu Lan happily sat in the small pavilion and waited.

It's a pity that five days have passed, and the fourth prince did not show up.

Frustration is inevitable, but on the sixth day, Liu Lan was still sitting in the small pavilion, looking at the wall she often climbed.

Because Liu Lan felt that although the time for the "gamble" had passed, as long as she persisted in waiting, one day it would come.

Time to Return Man Xilan Volume 19 Shocking Changes Chapter [-] A Walk in the Capital

After a while, after the doctor's diagnosis, Qiao Kang's body recovered completely.

Qiao Kang felt sorry for being bothered for so long in the Fourth Prince's Mansion, eating and drinking for nothing.Now that he knew the news of his recovery, Qiao Kang immediately resigned and wanted to go back to his home.

Although the Fourth Prince's Mansion and Liu's Mansion are gorgeous, they are not my home after all.In a remote corner of the capital, the area of ​​that clean little house is less than one-tenth of this place, but every plant and tree in it is planted by himself, and that is the place that he should guard.

Before leaving, Qiao Kang tried his best to invite Su Qizhi and Liu Lan to a restaurant in the capital to express his gratitude.

Su Qizhi and Liu Lan naturally didn't care about the precious food and medicinal materials that Qiao Kang saw, but they both understood the inherent persistence and high self-esteem of scholars, so they all readily agreed.

With Qiao Kang's financial resources, it is impossible to go to some extravagant places.Finally, I chose a clean small restaurant, a few home-cooked dishes, a few pots of wine brewed by the owner, a simple meal, but the three of them drank very much.

Regardless of status or wealth, true friendship between gentlemen should be frank and frank.

At the dinner table, everyone chatted casually, and discovered that none of the three present had visited the capital properly.

Su Qizhi grew up in the deep palace since childhood, and also stayed in the Prince's Mansion after leaving the palace, rarely coming out.Liu Lan grew up in Bicheng, and left for eight years shortly after arriving in the capital.Qiao Kang came to the capital mainly to prepare for the scientific examination, and he didn't have time to hang out.

So after the meal, the three of them decided to go for a walk in the capital city together in high spirits.

The picture of three young and handsome teenagers walking together is pleasing enough.What's more, these three people have different temperaments. Su Qizhi's temperament is cold. People who are not familiar with his temperament often find this person difficult to approach. After a long time, they will realize that the fourth prince is really cold on the outside and hot on the inside. people.Liu Lan's temperament is just the opposite. There is always a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she is so gentle to everyone. It will make people feel good at the first sight, but after getting along for a long time, you will find that Liu Lan's gentleness is always with a touch of alienation.Although Qiao Kang seems to be a scholar who has no power to restrain a chicken, his elegant and gentle temperament is also the culprit of many young girls in Huaichun.

The three of them were walking on the bustling street, causing the girls passing by to blush.

"Ah, he's looking at me~~ He's actually looking at me~~~ I'm so shy~-" This is a reserved lady.

"If my future husband and son-in-law can be half as gentle as that son-in-law, I will have nothing else to ask for in this life~~" This is the woman who saw Liu Lan raising her sleeve to wipe Su Qizhi's sweat.

"My lord, can you pick up my Ropa?" This is one of the few bold action groups.

Liu Lan touched Su Qizhi lightly, and said with a smile: "Four girls gave me handkerchiefs just now, and only one girl gave it to you, Fourth Prince, it seems that I am more popular with girls than you. "

"Who cares about their welcome?" Su Qizhi said coldly, no matter where he went, people kept looking at him, and the actions of these girls had already made him faintly angry.

"I'm wondering why I'm more popular... Could it be that I look better?" Liu Lan put her face in front of Su Qizhi, and asked with a smile: "Does the fourth prince think this is the reason?...The fourth prince thinks Is it good to grow up?"

"Boring!" The two words were crisp and crisp, without a trace of procrastination.

Liu Lan touched her nose in embarrassment, but Qiao Kang next to her couldn't help laughing.

Ignoring the interference of those girls, it is a very comfortable thing to hang out in Qingguodu.

Shouts from small vendors along the street came one after another, and children ran and played in the street in groups of three and four, occasionally bursting into bursts of cheers. Breathing fire and swallowing swords won thunderous applause from the onlookers.

The bustling capital is full of a strong atmosphere of life, which makes people feel that it is a happy thing to be in it.

The three chatted and walked around, and finally stopped in front of an antique shop.

The antique three-story building looks elegant and luxurious. On the plaque hanging high at the door, it says "Liu Family Antiques", which is the property of Liu Lan's family.

Qiao Kang stood at the door, looking at the shelves full of antiques inside, itching in his heart, he asked, "Can we go in and have a look?" The question was asked very cautiously, but before Liu Lan and Su Qizhi could answer, Qiao Kang Kang himself took the lead in entering the store.The remaining two people looked at each other and smiled, naturally they had to follow closely.

The shopkeeper with a gray beard saw Liu Lan and the others coming in, his expression changed immediately, he came to Liu Lan respectfully, bent down and called out: "Master."

Liu Lan was very curious: "You know me?" She had never been to this store, and the shopkeeper had no impression of it.

"A few days ago, I went to the house to pay the account, and I saw the young master from a distance. I don't know what orders the young master has come today?" I worked hard to manage the shop for the Liu family, and the date of handing in the account books every month would not be wrong. What else could go wrong?He actually asked the young master to come forward in person.

Seeing the restraint of the shopkeeper, Liu Lan said with a smile: "Today, I will take a casual look with my two friends. There is nothing else to do." Pointing to Qiao Kang who lingered next to the antique shelf, his eyes were shining, " That friend likes antiques, please say hello."

The shopkeeper heaved a sigh of relief, and ran aside to accompany Qiao Kang.Su Qizhi and Liu Lan were left to rest beside the counter.After walking for a long time, the two of them were indeed a little tired. After sitting in silence for a while, Liu Lan suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Su Qizhi glanced at Liu Lan.

"Thinking of what the shopkeeper said just now." Liu Lan propped her chin and looked at Su Qizhi eagerly: "If you take a look at me from a distance, you will recognize me today. Fourth prince, tell me, does this mean that I am It's so handsome and unusually beautiful, making it unforgettable?"

Su Qizhi turned his head away and didn't answer.

Liu Lan chased after him: "Actually, it doesn't matter if the fourth prince admits it~~~ Several times I saw the fourth prince look at me in a daze~~"

"Liu Lan!" Su Qizhi's voice became a little angrily: "As long as you are the young master of the Liu family, even if you look like a toad, the shopkeeper will remember you! And I promise you will never forget it!"

Liu Lan said in a low voice: "Because of embarrassment..." Then, taking advantage of Su Qizhi's eruption, she immediately raised her voice and shouted: "Brother Qiao, what's wrong with you? Let the shopkeeper wrap it up, and I'll treat you today!"

Su Qizhi stared at Liu Lan, and also shouted: "Brother Qiao, you're welcome, take whatever you want!

Liu Lan tugged at the corner of Su Qizhi's clothes: "What happened to the four princes? Wrap them up too."

"I don't need it!"

"You can't say that. How could the fourth prince come back empty-handed after entering my Liu family's door?" Liu Lan laughed.

After finishing speaking, Liu Lan called another clerk, whispered in his ear, and gave such and such instructions.

"What the hell are you doing?" Su Qizhi asked worriedly.Liu Lan's behavior was so weird, she didn't want to be a victim.

"The fourth prince will know in a while."

After a while, the clerk came back with a bunch of boxes.Putting the boxes in front of the two of them, and opening them one by one, Su Qizhi found that there were ink stones, jade pendants, and rings...the materials were also different. One-on-one.

"This is..." Su Qizhi looked at Liu Lan and asked.

"I gave the gift to the fourth prince. You are welcome to pick whatever you want." Liu Lan said with a smile, "It would be great if I could take them all away."

Su Qizhi casually glanced at those things, and suddenly fell in love with a pair of inkstones.

The shape is simple, the texture is round, and it looks like a handed down boutique.

Anyway, Liu Lan has already said so, so there is no need to be polite.Su Qizhi pointed to the box containing the inkstone and said, "I want that."

"Wrap up this pair of inkstones." Liu Lan instructed the clerk next to him.

The little clerk was young, but he was very agile in his work. He quickly took out two small boxes from the counter and packed the pair of inkstones separately.

"Why are you packing them separately?" Aren't these two inkstones a pair?

"Pack them separately, of course it's you and me." Liu Lan took a box and put it in Su Qizhi's arms.

"Didn't you give this to me?" I've never seen half of a gift given.

"Of course it's for you. Didn't you mean the inkstone in your arms just now? Or did I misunderstand, you mean this inkstone of mine?"

I was just referring to the box, okay?Looking at Liu Lan's innocent eyes, Su Qizhi knew that he couldn't argue with Liu Lan.Liu Lan will always be the winner in this kind of quarrel.

Su Qizhi sighed, and took the inkstone firmly in his hand.Fortunately, I really like the inkstone in my hand.

Accompanied by the shopkeeper, Qiao Kang took a good look at all the antiques in the store, and finally, without any hesitation, chose a vase to take away.

"This is porcelain from 300 years ago..." Qiao Kang held the vase happily and said, "There are five pieces of this vase that have been handed down to the world... I am lucky to see it. I didn't expect to have one... What a lucky three lives..."

The more Qiao Kang said, the more beautiful he became. Looking at that posture, he wished he could hold the vase in his arms every day and never let go.When he was talking vigorously, a young boy hurriedly ran from the opposite side, bumping into Qiao Kang without thinking.

With a loud crash, one of the five extant vases fell to the ground and shattered.

Time to Return Man Xilan Volume 20 Shocking Changes Chapter [-] The Only Expectation

What was broken was not a vase, but Qiao Kang's heart.

300 years~~ There are only five pieces handed down from generation to generation~~ Master Liu Lan wants it with the cheek~~

Just smashed into pieces?

Qiao Kang was stunned for a moment, then grabbed the boy who was also stunned, and shouted: "Why don't you look at me when you walk~~~ You just smashed my vase like that??"

"I...I can pay you back." The boy who got into trouble had an extremely handsome face, fair skin, and looked like a girl. At this time, the boy's big eyes were staring at the girl. Qiao Kang.

The people around all focused their attention on Qiao Kang and the young man, no one saw the flash of astonishment on Su Qizhi's face when he saw the young man's face.

"Losing money? Can you buy this vase if you have money?" Qiao Kang completely abandoned his usual gentleness, grabbed the boy by the collar and reprimanded loudly: "This vase is a treasure I just got. How much do you pay?" I can't even buy it!"

"Isn't it just a vase, the young master will give you a hundred!" The young master curled his lips and said nonchalantly.

"One hundred! What a nouveau riche with no taste! There are only five of this vase handed down!"

"Upstart! How dare you call me an upstart!" The word "upstart" obviously hurt the young man, and he yelled back at Qiao Kang without showing any weakness.

"A person like you who has no taste is an upstart~~-"

"Say one more word, believe it or not, I will beat you~~~"

"You smashed the vase and wanted to beat someone up?"

"You have angered the young master!"

Seeing more and more people watching the excitement around, and the quarrel between the two becoming more and more childish, Su Qizhi finally couldn't stand it anymore, coughed lightly, and called out: "Brother Qiao."

Hearing Su Qizhi's yell, Qiao Kang suddenly realized that he had lost his composure. It was a bit outrageous to have quarreled with someone younger than him on the street.Qiao Kang immediately stopped talking, and stood with Su Qizhi and Liu Lan.

The strange thing is that upon hearing Su Qizhi's voice, the boy automatically fell silent, his big eyes stared around, but he didn't dare to meet Su Qizhi's eyes.

"I also have one in my house for this vase, and I will send someone to deliver it to Brother Qiao." Su Qizhi said.

"No need... no need..." Qiao Kang quickly waved his hand, it was a blessing to get a vase, and it should be God's will if someone smashed it, how could he have the nerve to let the fourth prince spend more money?

"Good things are only valuable to those who appreciate them. Brother Qiao, don't refuse." Su Qizhi looked at the young man who bowed his head, and said lightly: "This person also accidentally bumped into Brother Qiao, as long as he said something Sorry, Brother Qiao, don't pursue it, okay?"

In this situation, besides nodding, what else can Qiao Kang do?

"I'm sorry, I ran too fast just now." The arrogant person just now admitted his mistake honestly like a cat, and took out a bank note from his sleeve and handed it to Qiao Kang. I can accept it."

Qiao Kang saw the number on the bank note, 3000 taels.I thought to myself that this is another son of a rich family, with such a generous shot.Pushing the banknote back, Qiao Kang said with a smile, "I was also in a bad temper just now, so don't be surprised, little brother. I accept your apology, but this banknote must never be accepted."

Seeing Qiao Kang's refusal, the boy hurriedly stuffed the banknote into Qiao Kang's arms. During the back and forth, the two of them had a lot of physical contact.

Qiao Kang didn't think much of it, but the young man's face was getting redder and redder, and his shy look was a little charming.

When Qiao Kang pushed the bank note over for the fourth time, Su Qizhi said: "Since brother Qiao insists on not accepting it, I think this little brother will let it go."

The red-faced boy put away the banknote and asked in a low voice: "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

"Well, let's go." It was still Su Qizhi who answered instead of Qiao Kang.

The young man turned around and walked through the crowd. Unexpectedly, after walking a few steps, he turned his head again and ran back to Qiao Kang who hadn't left yet. He raised his head and asked, "What's your name?"

"Under Qiao Kang."

"Qiao Kang~~Qiao Kang~~-" After whispering the name twice, the boy turned around and ran away.

Qiao Kang looked at the boy's back in astonishment, and sighed that he was really a reckless boy.

Panting and pushing open the door of the private room in the teahouse, the boy shouted: "Brother Sanhuang, I'm back!"

Su Ruizhi, who was sipping tea, raised his head and smiled at the boy, "I just went to the corner to buy some pastries, why are you so slow."

Without answering Su Ruizhi's words, the boy couldn't wait to say: "Brother Sanhuang, guess who I met just now?"

"Who did you get so excited to meet?"

"It's Brother Sihuang! Since Brother Sihuang left the palace, I haven't seen him for a long time!" The young man didn't care about his appearance, and poured a large cup of tea into his mouth before telling what happened on the street corner. After telling the whole story, the young man sighed: "When I looked up and saw it was Brother Sihuang, my heart almost stopped in shock. Brother Sihuang is usually so cold and doesn't care much about people." , I bumped into him this time, and I thought I must be dead, but he actually helped me out~~ What a surprise~~ Brother Sanhuang, tell me, Brother Sihuang is not as bad as you imagined, Yes or no?"

Without waiting for Su Ruizhi's answer, the young man said to himself: "That's right, if Brother Four is so bad, how can Brother Three be so nice to him~"

"Where did you see them just now?" Su Ruizhi didn't care about the vase. Su Ruizhi only cared about the "third person" mentioned by the young man besides the fourth brother and the person holding the vase. If he didn't guess wrong, then It must be my cousin.

"It's just over there at the corner of the street." Walking to the window, the young man pointed his finger: "It's right there, hey, Brother Sanhuang, look, they haven't gone far yet."

Hearing the sound, Su Ruizhi also went to the window and leaned over to look down.

Sure enough, I saw my cousin standing next to a small stall downstairs, watching the stall owner making handicrafts.

There were people coming and going on the street, but in Su Ruizhi's eyes, only Liu Lan could be seen.

Su Ruizhi pointed in Liu Lan's direction, and said with a smile, "The one who looks the best is my cousin Liu Lan."

"It turns out that he is the cousin that Brother San Huang always talks about. When I saw him today, he really deserves his reputation."

"Of course." Su Rui was more than happy to hear that Biren praised him, and said with a smile: "Of course my cousin is the best."

"However, since he is the third brother's cousin, why did he get so close to the fourth brother?" The young man asked curiously.

An unintentional sentence touched Su Ruizhi's back.

His face changed, Su Ruizhi said coldly: "How do I know!"

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Su Ruizhi's mood was disturbed by the question just now, not to mention that this was the first time that Brother Sanhuang looked so ugly. The young man sat down carefully, took out the package of pastries bought at the corner shop just now, and handed In front of Su Ruizhi, he said, "Brother Sanhuang, do you want to try it?"

Putting a piece into your mouth, the delicious pastry melted in your mouth, and the faint scent of roses immediately filled your mouth, just like the pastry that my cousin brought to the cold palace when I was a child.

Closing his eyes, savoring the long-lost taste carefully, Su Ruizhi thought of those days in the cold palace again.

With no one to visit, no one to take care of, the huge imperial palace, the cold palace is completely a dead end.

There are only a few fixed places that I can go to every day, and the only ones I see every day are Mufei and Xiaotao. During those long days, my cousin's arrival is the only thing I look forward to.

An interesting book, a pack of pastries, some interesting little toys ~ others will never know, every time my cousin comes, he opens a door for himself, a door to the outside world.

There is a kind of loneliness and anxiety that can go deep into the bone marrow and will not change with the passage of time, so even though Su Ruizhi's status is not what it used to be, chasing the warmth brought by his cousin has become Su Ruizhi's instinct, and he can't quit even if he wants to. Lose.

"Brother Sanhuang~~" The young man bit the pastry and whispered, "I have something to tell you."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"You have to promise not to tell others, so I will say it."

"Brother Huang will definitely not tell others."

"Even my mother and concubine can't tell."

"Which time did you fail to do what the emperor promised?"

"Brother Sanhuang~~I seem to like someone-~-"

"What?" Originally thought that the person across from him was interested in something and wanted to buy it for him, but unexpectedly it was such an explosive news, Su Ruizhi asked in disbelief, "You fell in love with someone? Who is it?"

"It's the person who was hit by me holding the vase just now."

Time to Return Man Xilan Volume 21 Shocking Changes Chapter [-] So-Called Love at First Sight

"You said that little boy who couldn't carry his shoulders or his hands?" When Su Ruizhi met Qiao Kang for the first time, Qiao Kang was regarded as a suspect, and his whole body was beaten to a bloody mess. Looking upstairs and downstairs just now, Su Ruizhi thought it was the first time he saw Qiao Kang.

"Yes, yes," the young man kept nodding, "What do you think of him, Brother Sanhuang? Is he very good?"

"You just saw him once!"

"So it's romantic love at first sight."

"You don't know him!"

"It looks like a weak scholar. All the scholars in the world are like that. I don't need to know more!"

"Your identities are too different, your mother and concubine will not agree!"

"That's why I want Brother Sanhuang to intercede for me~~" The young man grabbed Su Ruizhi's arm and swayed back and forth: "It would be better for Brother Sanhuang to go directly to Father Huang and tell Father. The one who loves you the most now is you. As soon as you mention it, he will definitely agree."

Su Ruizhi smiled and said: "Father now loves Su Huai the most, why don't you talk to him?"

"Who's looking for him!" The young man immediately exploded when he heard Su Huai's name, "A little brat who came out of nowhere, relying on his father's favor, is lawless and doesn't care about anyone. Here, every time I see him, I really want to go up and beat him~~-"

"Su Huai is still young and ignorant, we have to take care of him more." When it comes to the current little overlord in the palace, Su Ruizhi does not have much prejudice, and still has the same gentle expression as he does to other siblings.

"That's Brother Sanhuang. He's so kind. In the entire palace, apart from my mother and concubine, I like Brother Sanhuang the most!" A child who grew up in the palace has been speaking falsely since he was a child, true and false, If you say this kind of praise to others, you can basically conclude that it is perfunctory flattery, but if you say it to Brother Sanhuang, it is sincere and from the bottom of your heart.

Hearing such enthusiastic praise, Su Ruizhi just smiled and didn't speak.

Su Ruizhi pretended to be an old pedant on purpose, and said in a hoarse voice: "First of all, this story tells us that relationships with very different family backgrounds usually have no good results. Secondly, it tells us not to believe in the so-called love at first sight. One point is to warn us, don't trust scholars~~ You count, the person you fancy
