hermit meets king

Seeing that the emperor didn't refute, Xu Xue was very sad, "I'm just your own brother, that's why I trust you so much." As she said that, she pulled Xu Yanzhuo's sleeve, swayed from side to side, crying and begging, " Don't be like your mother and concubine, asking me to marry the prince of the Sikou Kingdom. It's so far away and so cold, I will die."

Xu Yanzhuo patted his younger sister's head, but couldn't say any comforting words. In this power center, he couldn't help himself, "It's all like this."

"I don't care, I won't go, and I won't die!" Xu Xue shook off Xu Yanzhuo's hand, "I'm going to find Wenxiu, isn't he the smartest? He will definitely help me."

As he said that, he wanted to run outside the house.But Xu Yanzhuo stopped him, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to the outskirts of the city, and I'm going to find him in his courtyard." Xu Xue was determined to find Qi Wenxiu.

"Don't go!!" Xu Yanzhuo suddenly yelled, realizing his momentary gaffe, and then calmed down and said, "You are a dignified princess, you sneaked out of the palace, it's nothing more than coming to my Rui Palace, and you want to go to Beijing In the small courtyard of a strange man in the suburbs, do you still want to have royal face?"

"Brother Huang, why don't you go and get Wen Xiu? Doesn't he often come to the mansion to discuss things with you?"

Xu Xue said helplessly coquettishly at the same place, and then softly went to Xu Yanzhuo's side, lowered her head, "In two days, the envoys of the Sikou Kingdom will enter Beijing, and the prince and princess of the Sikou Kingdom will also be here together." , the concubine mother said, there must be a marriage, either you marry the princess, or I marry to Si Kou country. Brother!"

Xu Xue felt that the emperor's brother hadn't responded for a long time, and looked up at Xu Yanzhuo's expressionless face, without any expression, "Brother, why don't you marry back the third princess of Sikou Kingdom as the princess, anyway, you haven't established a concubine for a long time .”

"Okay." Xu Yanzhuo took a step back, "Hurry up and return to the palace now, and don't make trouble."

"Brother! Brother!!" Seeing that Xu Yanzhuo still didn't respond, Xu Xue wanted to rush out, "I don't care, I will tell Wenxiu!"

But Xu Yanzhuo pulled her back, "Wenxiu! Wenxiu! How can you just call the man by his name?" But Xu Xue in her hand was going crazy, she didn't listen at all, and was about to rush out.

Xu Yanzhuo beckoned and called a few guards, "Send the fourth princess back to the palace."

"Yes." The guards had just taken the order to forcefully take the fourth princess back to the palace, and when they dragged and walked out, a person came outside the gate of Prince Rui's mansion.

He was dressed as a scholar, with a light-colored gown, but he couldn't hide his handsome and elegant air.

When Xu Xue saw Qi Wenxiu, she quickly broke away from the guard, rushed to his side, grabbed his sleeve, with aggrieved face, "I finally saw you!"

Qi Wenxiu looked at this girl who was always eccentric in normal times, her eyes were red, her hair was a little messy, and she secretly removed her sleeves, "What's wrong?"

Seeing the person she had been looking for, Xu Xue actually moved her sleeves away. She still had that half-dead, alienated and polite look, and she decided to go all out, "I like you! I don't want to marry into Si Kou country! I..." Before he could finish speaking, he was pulled aside by someone.

Xu Yanzhuo pulled Xu Xue aside and asked Qi Wenxiu, "Why are you here today?"

Qi Wenxiu looked at the person who pulled the princess aside, and returned, "The spies have news."

Xu Yanzhuo was a little tougher this time, and said to the guards, "Send the princess back to the palace."

These four princesses have been pampered in the palace since they were young. How could they have suffered this kind of anger? They broke away from the grasped hands, "I said, I don't want to go back! Why don't you listen, Qi Wenxiu, I said I like you. I don't care about Princess Si Kou! As long as you agree, I'm willing to elope with you..."

Before he could speak, he was slapped by Xu Yanzhuo.

Xu Xue covered her face and looked at her own brother in surprise, her eyes were red, and the tears that had been holding her back finally flowed down.

For a moment, all the people were still, and the two faced each other silently, Xu Yanzhuo himself didn't understand why he got down.

Qi Wenxiu took out a handkerchief, handed it to Xu Xue, and motioned for him to wipe away his tears, "I've lost my make-up and turned into a beautiful little cat."

After hearing what he said, Xu Xue took the handkerchief and wiped away her tears.

Xu Yanzhuo looked at the two people standing together, should he be thankful that he didn't wipe her tears directly?He said coldly, "Send the princess back to the palace."

But Xu Xue turned her head and asked, "Brother Huang, will you tell the concubine mother?" Maybe she will never be able to leave the palace again, or in a few days, Si Kouguo will enter Beijing, and the marriage will be settled.

Xu Yanzhuo turned his gaze to the side, didn't look at Xu Xue, and didn't answer Xu Xue's question... "Send the princess back to the palace." Only then did the guards react and send the princess back to the palace.

Xu Yanzhuo looked at Xu Xue who was silently surrounded by guards and walked out of Prince Rui's mansion, how should he answer, what should he say to his mother and concubine?Don't let him marry Si Kou, or take good care of Xu Xue so that there will be no trouble?

Qi Wenxiu walked up to Xu Yanzhuo and said, "It's just a little girl, you can't take your words seriously."

"Young Master Qi is so charming that he coaxes my princess sister to go around for you." Xu Yanzhuo said a little angry.

Qi Wenxiu didn't expect this to happen either. During this period of time, he always regarded the fourth princess as an innocent little girl, and never realized that there was a misunderstanding, and he could avoid the weird atmosphere of being alone with Xu Yanzhuo. "Qi has absolutely no desire to climb high."

"Hmph." Xu Yanzhuo snorted coldly, "You don't have the heart, why are you playing chess and drinking tea together?"

Qi Wenxiu felt that not only the princess who was arguing just now was abnormal, but even Xu Yanzhuo was abnormal, so because of trivial matters, being fussy about every detail, and acting aggressively is not something a prince can do, but he wants to be a jealous woman.

Thinking of this, Qi Wenxiu shook his head again, how could it be possible that even he was not normal. "The princess and the prince want Qi to play chess and drink tea with him, how dare Qi refuse."

Xu Yanzhuo also calmed down, "Forget it, let's go into the back room and tell, what news does the spy have?"

The two went to the back room, Xu Yanzhuo's study.

Qi Wenxiu said slowly, "There is news from spies that the first prince and the second prince of Sikou Kingdom have already appeared in the capital."

"Huh? Didn't they come with the envoys? They should still be on the way." Xu Yanzhuo thought carefully, "Could it be that they are hiding people's eyes and ears and dividing the troops into two groups."

"It should be." Qi Wenxiu continued, "Maybe the two of them came to the capital first and have something to do."

"What could be the matter?" It stands to reason that the capital is already like an iron barrel, surrounded by two forces, and it is intricate, so it should not be possible for foreign spies to take advantage of it.

"The spies said that the eldest prince and the second prince visited brothels and theaters in the capital, and enjoyed a lot of scenery."

"Addicted to this amusement?" Xu Yanzhuo laughed back, "Let the spies continue to investigate."

After talking about the confidential matter, Xu Yanzhuo asked Qi Wenxiu to stay for dinner.Let people set up the wine and food in the back yard.

Qi Wenxiu couldn't refuse, so they went to the backyard together.

The backyard was full of beautiful flowers, red willows and greenery. The two poured wine at the pavilion, and Xu Yanzhuo asked his servants to leave.

In a huge courtyard, the spring flowers are romantic, and only two people in the pavilion drink wine facing each other.

Xu Yanzhuo drank three cups in a row before Qi Wenxiu stopped him and said, "Is there something bothering you, my lord?"

Xu Yanzhuo drank another cup, his beautiful cross-eyed eyes slanted into his temples, there was a trace of bitterness on his face, he was annoyed by him, annoyed by him, but he asked himself what was bothering him, "No worries, what is there to worry about?"

As he spoke, he put the cup on the table, poured another cup, and even got up to fill Qi Wenxiu's cup.

Qi Wenxiu quickly took the jug, how could he ask the prince to pour wine for him?

Both hands were on the flagon, fingers touching.

Xu Yanzhuo was taken aback, and he hadn't had time to feel the numbness of his fingers.

Qi Wenxiu had already withdrawn his hand.

What am I so afraid of?Don't you even want to have any contact with me?Xu Yanzhuo poured wine for Qi Wenxiu, and sat back in his seat as if nothing had happened, "I've never seen Wenxiu drinking freely."

"Qi doesn't like drinking." Qi Wenxiu declined politely.

"Then what do you love?" Xu Yanzhuo looked at Qi Wenxiu with half-raised brows and asked half-truly.

"What do you love?" It's too late to hate, where is there still time to love?Qi Wenxiu raised his wine glass and drank it in one gulp, "Only those who have a heart are worthy of love."

"Then do you have a heart?" Seeing Qi Wenxiu's sad look, Xu Yanzhuo asked in a daze.

"Qi has no intention." Qi Wenxiu raised his glass half-jokingly, and wanted to toast Xu Yanzhuo with a glass of wine.

Xu Yanzhuo also raised his wine glass, looked at Qi Wenxiu, and said silently, "Even if you don't mean it, there are still people who can't get out of it."

Qi Wenxiu was taken aback, the look on his face didn't seem like he was speaking to himself, thinking about it carefully, could it be because of the Fourth Princess?How could I ever think of marrying someone from the Ruan family? "I have no intentions with the fourth princess, the prince can rest assured."

After hearing this, Xu Yanzhuo shook his head, "Wenxiu misunderstood." But he didn't continue to say what he misunderstood.Just bowed his head and drank it.

After so many back and forth, Qi Wenxiu was still clear, only Xu Yanzhuo was drunk, his expression became more wanton and undignified, his beautiful peach eyes were stained red, and he was confused and a little bit erotic, "Wenxiu, do you know that it is the first time I see you?" look like?"

"Qi doesn't know." Qi Wenxiu avoided those half-raised eyebrows and focused on his own eyes.

"If you think about it, you won't remember." Xu Yanzhuo slowly recalled while drinking, "Actually, the first time I saw you, I no longer heard about the Taifu's mansion, but beside the capital street, you were buying pastries alone. A poorly dressed scholar, leading a donkey, actually asked for the most expensive pastries at the largest pastry shop in the capital. What was ridiculous was that when paying the bill, he spent half a day there in a leisurely manner.

At that time, I found it funny when I was next to it, and even sneered.Unexpectedly, the number one counselor in the world I saw in the Taifu's mansion was actually the one who spent half a day's money in the pastry shop.

It turns out that the person everyone is looking for, I have already met.Later, everyone wanted to win you over, but I didn't think so.But later, who would have thought that later..."
