The villain is far from my CP!

Being dragged back to Qianfang by Bai Xiao, Bai Qiao has not adjusted his mood yet.

It wasn't until after dinner and returning to the room that he completely calmed down.

Ganfang does not occupy a large area, just a lobby and two courtyards.

Men and women are different, in the past there were no girls in the cabinet shop, so the men naturally lived in Qianqian, now that Baiqiao has come, the whole backward area has become her territory, if counting the straight-line distance, it is really close to the Third Prince's Mansion.

Bai Qiao leaned on the couch and tossed and turned, losing sleep at the thought of the villain's mansion next door.

Tomorrow is the heroine's Jiji ceremony, and I don't know if the hero has come back in such a hurry, whether he has prepared a gift, and whether he will suppress the villain's limelight.

Well, it must be possible, as written in the original book.

But this time with his own help, he could be bolder and simply ask for a marriage, since the two are in love anyway.

It's a pity she can't go.

Tomorrow, I have to start getting familiar with the affairs of the counter shop, carry forward the cadres, and get rid of the villains next door as soon as possible, so that I can eat sweets with peace of mind.

The girl had a sweet dream and fell asleep in a daze.

On September [-]th, the autumn air was crisp and cloudless.

It's getting colder, but the autumn in Dongdu is still going slowly, and the golden leaves on the trees are still hanging lushly.

The inner city, Changle Street, is one of the most awe-inspiring streets and alleys in central Beijing because all of them are high officials of the second rank and above.

The Ye family, the prime minister of the current dynasty, lived in the house closest to the street.

This mansion was bestowed by the first emperor to Mrs. Ye, who was only a stupefied number one scholar at that time, and now it has become more solemn and solemn after decades, every few days before the start of a course, some students even secretly come to the alley to pay respects to the fragrance of books.

However, this street, which is rarely visited by ordinary people, was overcrowded early this morning.

It's just because the Ye family posted a notice a few days ago that Ye Huan and Ji, the only daughters in the family, will distribute a thousand baht and a few copper coins that day. People in Beijing are welcome to join in.

The common people shouted congratulatory speeches and were extremely busy, until the dignitaries arrived and then reluctantly dispersed.

Everyone showed off their gains in twos and threes, and soon changed the topic to today's protagonist.

Ye Huan, the only daughter of the Ye family, and also the old daughter of Prime Minister Ye, was held in the apex of her heart since she was a child. I heard that she was admitted to the palace for a period of time when she was young. The slightly raised eye ends fascinated all the princes and brothers in Beijing with their extra beauty.

But the most commendable thing is that even though she has been pampered and pampered for more than ten years, this Miss Ye is not arrogant.

Every winter, I can see her personally serving porridge under the shed at the gate of the city. She is a kind-hearted little girl.

Among the noble ladies in Beijing and China, they can afford to say "No one is better".

Now that the little girl has grown up, who doesn't have a son-in-law from all the honorable families in Dongdu, all of them have sharpened their heads to show their faces in front of the little girl.

No, it was just the right time, and all kinds of luxurious carriages blocked Changle Street.

Until, in the direction of Miyagi, a black-painted red-bottomed horse-drawn carriage slowly drove up.

There are standard carriages in Dongdu. Officials like Prime Minister Ye, who are under [-] people, can only ride a cart alone, but the carriage in front of them has two maroon court horses.

There was a moment of silence in the noisy streets, and then everyone spontaneously made way for a passage.

The mistresses who were about to move widened their eyes and retracted their steps, and grabbed their sons by the back collar by the way.

No one thought that the people in the sedan chair simply came to wish Miss Ye a happy birthday.

Maybe soon they'll have to wish Girl Yeh Najib happy.

The honor of the Ye Mansion has added more bargaining chips from now on.

Ye Huan is currently making final preparations in the backyard room.

The bronze mirror can only reflect the girl's vague face, but just like that, it is known that the rumors in the market are true.

"Brother Jing Min is here?" the little girl spoke in a mellow and melodious way like Ying'er, with unconcealable excitement.

She stood up and straightened her skirt for the last time, put her sleeves in front of her belly, and then raised her eyes, with all the expressions in her eyes, her steps were steady, and she stepped out of the threshold.

Ye Lv stood on the porch with his arms folded, watching his daughter grow up little by little, but he couldn't help being stunned when he saw her.

The current prime minister, who used to be indifferent to emotions and anger, slowly smiled, and stretched out his hand to his daughter.

"His Majesty has arrived, father will take you to the ceremony."

Qi Jing Minhou was in the front hall, enduring the anxiety in his heart.

He was let go by Ye Lu's old fox last time, and he was always worried that his visit would not go well this time.

But Prime Minister Ye's old fox was as gentle to him as ever, which made him uncertain about his attitude at all.

The only thing worth applauding is that it is almost auspicious time, and Qi Changting has not yet appeared.

He moved his fingers lightly, and a follower came up to him.

"Is everything done?" he asked softly.

The entourage laughed twice, but did not answer directly, but said: "Your Highness, the Third Prince's Mansion is heavily guarded, but the subordinates have guarded all the nearby streets. It can be confirmed that the Third Highness left about an hour ago, but until Now, I haven't seen him near Changle Street either."

When Qi Jingmin heard this, he chuckled in satisfaction.

He gave up the lucrative oil and water of the dam building, and was able to rush back to Dongdu nearly a month in advance.

Do you really think that this month is blind!

No matter how heavily guarded the Third Prince's Mansion is, if the master is not there, it will not be so secure.

Taking advantage of this period of time to buy a few grooms, move iron palms, and finally do some tricks on the axle, whether Qi Changting can save his arms and legs now is a problem, and can he seduce women with his whole body?

Even if he was lucky enough not to be injured, he must have been thrown into disgrace, so he couldn't go back to his house to re-pack his luggage?Waiting for him to go back before rushing over in a hurry, the auspicious time has passed.

Not to mention congratulatory gifts.

Even a slight bump in the carriage may damage the congratulatory gifts given on such important occasions, such as the glazed cup he brought from a private kiln in Huantang, Jiangdu.

If all the carriages were overturned, the congratulatory gifts would definitely be damaged. Even if Qi Changting came in the end, what he brought out would definitely not meet Ye Huan's wishes. What could he argue with himself?

The more Qi Jingmin thought about it, the more complacent he became, and at this moment, the sound of footsteps came from the backyard.

Ye Chengxiang, who broke the appointment before, and Qi Jingmin briefly greeted each other, and his eyes drifted uncontrollably to a touch of water red behind Ye Lu.

Dahui girls and Jiji usually wear red, and bright red belongs to brides only, and water red has become exclusive to Jiji girls.

Qi Jingmin had never seen Ye Huan wear this color. When he and Ye Huan traveled together in Jiangdu a few months ago, the other party often wore goose yellow, which was more than gentle but not charming.

But today...

He was stunned for just a moment, and immediately returned to normal.

"Huanhuan, happy birthday." When they were in the palace, they called Ye Huan that way since they were young.

But such a title now has some other meanings inexplicably.

The gentleness of the youth makes people feel like a spring breeze, and the girl seems shy, lowering her eyes and chuckling.

Qi Jingmin picked up the small wooden box on the table and handed it to Ye Huan.

"I don't know if you like the special products brought back from Jiangdu."

The wooden box is exquisitely carved, not to mention the contents, but the box is worth at least a hundred gold.

When Ye Huan saw the delicate little lamp inside, her eyes were slightly bright, and she gently knelt and gave a blessing.

"Thank you Your Majesty."

Qi Jingmin raised his eyebrows, didn't answer, just looked at her like that.

Ye Huan told him to look away, and said in a voice like a mosquito, "Thank you, brother Jingmin."

Qi Jingmin was satisfied. He glanced at the engraved hole in the corner of the room, chuckled lightly, and said seemingly unintentionally, "The military situation in the southern border is urgent, and Yun Zheng can't come to wish you a happy birthday in person, but where is Chang Ting? Has he arrived yet?"

"Ah, Brother Changting?" Ye Huan said with a familiar tone, raised his eyes and smiled, and said with his eyes bent: "He has already been here."

He has been here.

been here.

The.

Qi Jingmin: "?!"

He almost thought he was hallucinating.

He didn't even notice for a moment that Ye Huan called His Highness first when calling him, but when he mentioned Qi Changting, he directly used "Brother Changting".

"He's already here?!" Qi Jingmin almost couldn't control his tone.

There was a moment of silence in the hall, Qi Jingmin suppressed his shock, forced a smile and asked: "It turns out that Changting has already arrived, I don't know where it is now?"

I saw Ye Huan drooping his eyebrows and eyes, "He has already gone back."

"He didn't go through the main entrance. He came in from the side door, which shocked the family. He also said that today I am the birthday star. If Brother Jingmin and him both come, they will steal my limelight, so I put down the gift and ran away. .”

Ye Huan was a little annoyed when he said this, but there was no heal in the eyes, and there was even a little tenderness.

Qi Jingmin's face was uncontrollably ugly.

What a trick, this person obviously didn't dare to confront him, but he still stomped on him before he fled.

He, Qi Changting, left in a blissful manner, and even hinted that he who stayed to attend the banquet wanted to steal Ye Huan's limelight!

The young man clenched his fist with his right hand behind his back.

But didn't he let people tamper with all the horses and carts in Qi Changting's mansion?How could he come to give the gift safely!

Ye Huan was in front, leading Qi Jingmin to the banquet hall, but he didn't see the expression of the young man behind him.

No one noticed that Ye Chengxiang, who was following everyone, had dark eyes.

Prime Minister Ye knew several years ago that Qi Jingmin was not as gentle and elegant as he usually showed to everyone, but he didn't think it mattered, as a prince, this was normal, as long as Qi Jingmin could pretend to inherit the great line, it would be no big deal.

But in the past few months, he found that he might have been wrong.

Qi Jingmin didn't reveal his flaws because there was no comparison. The Third Highness suddenly showed his edge for some reason, and within a few rounds Qi Jingmin was exposed.

Especially since the two His Highnesses are here today, the different ways of handling it are even more opinionated.

In fact, he doesn't care who goes and who stays, it's better to stay or stay, Qi Jingmin can ignore Qi Changting's rhetoric and just coax Ye Huan to be happy.

He had to stop thinking about the long term.

But this great majesty only secretly resented his subordinates for not doing things well, like a poisonous snake that could get out of control at any time.

He is no match for the Third Highness.

Ye Lv clearly realized this, but...

However, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, no concubine of Dahui has ever taken that position.

Does Qi Changting really have the ability to pierce the hole in ethics and make everyone regard him as the master?

On the other side, Qi Jingmin finally regained his composure.

It suddenly occurred to him that Qi Changting thought he was smart enough to leave early, and he seemed to have stepped on him, but he also gave up the opportunity to continue to express his views. Now that he has only one mouth to speak, shouldn't he let himself dig a hole for him in front of Ye Huan?

Thinking of this, he smiled and said: "Speaking of Changting, after passing through Jiangdu, I, as an elder brother, have to admire his luck."

Speaking of this, Ye Lv also involuntarily pricked up his ears.

"I don't know what Huanhuan knows, but Brother Changting has taken in a beautiful merchant woman in Jiangdu..." Qi Jingmin was satisfied to see Ye Huan's steps paused, and then continued, "...to be a diner, it is said that he The smooth settlement of Jiangdu's affairs this time is entirely dependent on this woman."

But what can a woman do to solve Jiangdu's affairs?

He didn't believe it, he believed that Ye Huan, as a boudoir woman, would definitely not believe it either.

So he made up the last cut with a smile: "Chang Ting may have other intentions for putting such a big credit on her."

That's why he was in such a hurry to leave your Jijili and go back to coax the beauty.

Silly girl, do you understand?

In fact, to some extent, Qi Jingmin was right.

The carriage was still parked in the alley not far from Changle Street, and Qi Changting was sitting in the carriage, in a daze.

Qi Jingmin didn't use those methods, thinking that everything would be fine if he bought the groom, but he didn't know that the groom would tell the whole story as soon as he returned to the mansion.

So he arrived at the prime minister's mansion without hindrance according to the original plan.

The gift he prepared for Ye Huan was not expensive, but a small portrait he drew for her when they were young and their relationship was good.

This is an emotional card he has planned for a long time, and it is bound to make Qi Jingmin lose everything.

But the car stopped in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when he saw the excitement inside, his heart suddenly felt empty.

The prosperity of the world is for profit; the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

The noble ladies carry the expectations of the family, and they want to climb high branches and revitalize the family, and Qi Changting is also one of the not-so-good branches.

He can go in and deal with them, let them try but not give permission, let those sloppy bosses show favor to him, and thus cultivate his power in the court.

He could even get Ye Lu's blue eyes, and with Jiang Du's contribution this time, it's hard for Ye Lu not to be tempted by the emperor's temptation to Qi Jingmin.

Yes, it doesn't really matter what Ye Huan thinks, she can only listen to Ye Lv after all, and Ye Lv listens to the situation.

He is sure to hold the situation firmly in his hands, the only disadvantage is that he is a bastard.

But he couldn't sell his steps no matter what.

Maybe he would not hesitate before, but now he wants to ask himself, isn't it disgusting.

He changed the small statue into a box of pearls like a demon, then put down the things and came out.

One month ago, when Jiangdu City was first lit with bright lights, the woman, with fireflies on her fingertips, turned her head and said to him with a smile:

"Because... I don't want to regret it."

He will never forget that night.

"He Cheng, go back to the house." The young man's tone was light, but the corners of his lips raised a slight arc that could be called docile.

The low-key single-horse carriage made a detour in the alley and headed out of the city.

A small wisp of smoke billowed from the car.

The pale yellow rice paper, together with the immature brushstrokes on it, turned into a burnt yellow mass in the small stove.

Yes, stepping through that door, he would regret it.

Well, of course it's not because of Baiqiao...

Well, maybe it's because of Bai Qiao, look at how the little girl looked when she left yesterday and asked him if there was any woman he knew in Beijing.

Although he doesn't mean anything else to her, what if she gets jealous when she finds out and doesn't do him a good job?

I have to avoid suspicion.

The author has something to say:

Qi Changting: Xiaoqiao will be jealous, so burn it.

Bai Qiao: ...the heroine's miniature, the heroine's miniature, that is the heroine's miniature!
