Chapter 172: A Heart-to-Heart Conversation with Qing'er
"Say, what's the matter?" Sending Liu Yiyi out, Yan Xi asked Qing'er with a serious face.
"I said sister, doesn't Mrs. Liu like me?" Qin'er touched her chin and asked Yan Xi thoughtfully and innocently.
"How do you say that, why do you think she doesn't like you?" Yan Xi asked puzzled.
"Can't you see that she was going to leave as soon as I came, doesn't she dislike me?"
Yan Xi was embarrassed and said speechlessly: "It's obvious that you have something to do, people are self-aware, and it's better for her to leave when they know that you care about her, where do you not like you!"
"Yes, did I just look suspicious of her?" Qing'er's brain was still in a state of chaos, and she couldn't figure out what was going on just now.
"Of course. Seeing that she was still half-understood, Yan Xi sat down speechlessly, poured a cup of tea and said shamefully.
"But I'm not afraid of her, I obviously respect her. ”
"Cut, anyone with brains and eyes can see that you just had something to say to me, but when you saw her there, you kept silent. It's not clear that it's avoiding her. Yan Xi said, "Okay, let's talk, what's the matter?"
"What's the matter?" Qing'er's brain was already a little chaotic, and now she was even more entangled by Yan Xi's words, and she didn't even understand this question, until Yan Xi's cup of tea was in her stomach, and her brain was considered a pathway, so she was naïve, and said, "Oh, I'm fine." ”
"It's nothing!?" Yan Xi almost choked on the last sip of tea she hadn't swallowed, she patted her chest with her hand and coughed a few times, she threw a few blank eyes at Qing'er, "It's okay, what are you doing!?
"Hehe——! Qing'er scratched her head and smirked, "Can't I come to you if it's okay?" If you want to blame it, blame Abi on that girl, she has been chasing me, I was so tired that I couldn't get rid of her, so I was clever and took her into the rockery to get rid of her. Hehe, look at how she chased me this time, there are many passages inside the rockery, and it's a problem for her to come up with it! ”
"Look at your smug appearance, does anyone boast of your cleverness like you?" Yan Xi snorted lightly and said with disdain, "Are you talking about the rockery in the center of the palace? I remember that the rockery is very big, and it was built in the middle of the lake, can Abi come out?"
"Don't worry, the rockery is big, and although there are a lot of passages inside, most of them basically have only one fork, and it's only a matter of time before she comes out." If she doesn't come out, it means that her brain is not very bright. Qing'er said.
"I guess she won't be able to spare you later. Yan Xi said with a smile.
"It's not necessarily that anyone can't spare anyone, this palace is my Qing'er's territory. Can she eat me from an outsider?" Qing'er said triumphantly, "Alas, by the way, sister, that... There are some things I don't know whether to say or not. ”
"Something to say. Yan Xi said.
"That's right... I don't think it's better for you not to get so close to Mrs. Liu, after all... After all....... She stopped talking.
"After all, what? After all, the prince and the dark guard don't like her?" Yan Xiben was attracted by Qing'er's sudden serious appearance, but as soon as she heard what she said, the originally curious expression on her face instantly fell, she didn't expect Qing'er to like someone because of other people's preferences.
"Sister... Are you angry?" Seeing that Yan Xi's face was wrong, Qing'er avoided Liu Yiyi with interest, and only cautiously tested Yan Xi's attitude.
"I'm not mad at you. Yan Xi sighed and said, "Can you tell me why you don't like Mrs. Liu?"
"Huh?" Qing'er was stunned. After a pause, she sat on the bed, put one hand on her cheek for serious thought, and then said: "Actually, I don't dislike her, I don't mind you getting close to her so much because the prince and the dark guard don't like her, if my sister knows the origin of Mrs. Liu, she will understand why the prince and the dark guard don't like her." ”
"Have you forgotten? You told me about her background before, but you can say that I don't know where she came from?" Yan Xi retorted, "So, you like her because the prince and the dark guard don't like her, right?"
"Hmm——," Qing'er seemed to be trying her best to think about the correctness of Yan Xi's conclusion, and finally came up with a clue after a while, but it was still ambiguous, "It should be." ”
"Then, leaving aside the prince and the dark guards, what do you think of Madame Liu?" she asked again.
"What do I think of her?" Qing'er scratched her head again, thought seriously for a while, and hesitated: "Actually, I don't think Mrs. Liu has a bad heart, she has been in Qingxin Pavilion since she came to the palace, and occasionally she comes out to find our prince, and when she meets us, she doesn't do anything to make things difficult for our subordinates, but she will smile at us every time." ”
"So, what do you think of her?" Yan Xi asked.
"Uh-huh, I guess so. Qing'er said with some uncertainty.
Silent......
The two were cold for a while, and Qing'er observed that Yan Xi's face was no different before she said cautiously: "Sister, don't think about it, in fact, I said that for the sake of you and the dark guard." ”
"Hmm, what do you mean by that?" Yan Xi asked puzzled.
"Actually, I can see the weirdness between these **** and the dark guards. Qing'er said, "Are you angry with him for hurting Mrs. Liu......?"
Qing'er waited for Yan Xi's answer, but there was only silence in response to her.
Yan Xi only poured tea silently, and tasted tea silently, staring at the desktop with his eyes blankly, as if he was traveling abroad.
"Sister?" After a while, Qing'er finally called her uncontrollably.
"Huh?" Yan Xi responded intentionally as if = unintentionally.
"Are you listening to what I'm saying?"
"Hmm. ”
Qing'er was very unhappy with such a perfunctory answer, pouting to express her dissatisfaction with her.
"If you don't listen, you don't listen, you have to perfunctory me!" she complained dissatisfiedly.
"I'm listening to you. "Yan Xi was no longer 'perfunctory', but there was silence after that. Under Qing'er's dissatisfied eyes as big as copper bells, she spoke again, but it was impossible to see whether she was talking to others or talking to herself, "Actually, everyone has their own good, and the person you like doesn't mean that others also like her, just like me and Mrs. Liu." The prince and the Dark Guard didn't like her because she was their enemy. What is wrong with Mrs. Liu? In the eyes of us outsiders, it is her fault that she gave birth to the wrong person, that she has an indelible relationship with an unpleasant person, and that she is wrong because she likes someone with whom she has an indelible relationship and is a hostile party. To put it bluntly, she's just an innocent person in a war, so why can't they see that......?"
Looking at Yan Xi, who was chattering and sighing because of her words, Qing'er was extremely embarrassed, and her eyes were wide and she looked at Yan Xi still with her mouth closed.
"Sister, I know it's wrong. Thinking about it, there was only one way to stop Yan Xi's mouth, so Qing'er said it unconsciously.
"What, I'm annoyed?" Yan Xi was very dissatisfied with Qing'er who interrupted him.
"No... No!" Qing'er hurriedly waved her hand to explain, "I just... I just think my sister's opinion is too different from ordinary people. ”
"Oh?
"Hehe, yes, yes. ”
"Alas. Looking out of the door, Yan Xi sighed heavily. After a long time, she asked leisurely: "Qing'er, let me ask you something, you have to tell the truth." ”
"What's the matter?" Looking at Yan Xi's solemn and serious look, Qing'er was a little nervous.
"Yesterday's secret guard was hit by the board, I guess someone in the house knows the reason. I know that there are people from the house, and Mother Hu will definitely send a group of maids to wait, and the same is true when the prince came yesterday. Don't lie, I know it, when I followed your prince to Qingxin Pavilion, there were a bunch of girls waiting behind me, and they must know the reason why the secret guards were on the board. Yan Xi said, "Although you weren't there at the time, with my understanding of you, you would definitely ask them about it, right?"
Hearing this, Qing'er was stunned.
After hesitating for a long time, she replied, "I knew I couldn't hide it from my sister, yes, I know." Actually, the dark guards didn't disrespect His Royal Highness the Prince, the reason why I said that is because Mother Hu once warned us not to chew our tongues about the things in the house, I'm just too curious why our prince ordered a subordinate to go to Qingxin Pavilion with a board, so he privately talked to a few good girls who happened to be waiting for them at the time, at first they didn't dare to say it, I was too tightly entangled, they had no way to tell me, and then I learned that the prince called the secret guard to Qingxin Pavilion and asked him if he was guilty without saying a word, and before the dark guard spoke, the prince asked him to beat him to show punishment。 ”
"Oh? I know. Yan Xi muttered to himself.
After seeing the injuries on Dark Night's body and listening to what he said, she actually had doubts about Liu Yiyi's character. However, the gaze that Liu Yiyi showed to her here just now is definitely not something that a vicious person can pretend, so she can't help but be commensurate with Liu Yiyi as a sister. And she asked Qing'er this just to confirm the conjecture in her heart. Now, after listening to Qing'er's words, she is even more sure that the reason why Dark Night was hit by the board was completely the reason for Beichen Zhenlong, and it was not like her previous momentary guess that Liu Yiyi secretly complained to Beichen Zhenlong that made Dark Night suffer from the board. This makes her feel much better.
"Sister knows?" Qing'er was surprised, "How did my sister know?"
"Not really. Yan Xi changed his tone, "So, Qing'er, I like to understand that a person should not change because of other people's ideas, you know?"
"Oh. Qing'er was dissatisfied with Yan Xi's ignoring her problem, and nodded with a pout, "Although I don't understand my sister's idea very well, I will try my best to change it." However, I still advise my sister, there is nothing wrong with you being good friends with Mrs. Liu and being called sisters, it's just that, after all, this is the Three Princes' Mansion, and I think my sister should also think about the prince and the dark guard. ”
"You're right. Yan Xi rarely agreed with Qing'er's statements and opinions on this matter, "It's just that the limit for our brothers and sisters to live in this palace has arrived, and I just want to act according to my own heart in a short period of time." ”
"What do you mean!?" Qing'er was surprised, "Did my sister say you were leaving!?"
"Hmm. Yan Xi nodded, "Tomorrow we will enter the palace according to the order, if everything goes well, we will most likely leave here the day after tomorrow." ”
"Why!?" Qing'er was shocked, walked up to Yan Xi excitedly, and asked loudly.
"Why?" Yan Xi looked at a loss this time, "Because we are not from the palace, and we have nothing to do with the prince, but we just happened to save him, and the emperor knew that the emperor wanted to announce us into the palace, and the holy will was difficult to violate, and we will live in the Three Princes' Mansion for convenience, and it is a matter of time before we leave." ”
"But... But... I heard Abi say that you were originally going to come to the Imperial City, so I came with our prince, I heard that you still have something to solve, how can you say that you can leave now!?" Qing'er sat next to Yan Xi, her face was in front of Yan Xi, she was very excited when she spoke, and the spitting stars sprayed on Yan Xi's face.
"Oops!" Yan Xi frowned, ducked back, and at the same time reached out in disgust and wiped his face, "If there is something on my face, you will be responsible!"
"Sister!" Seeing Yan Xi's indecent face, Qing'er became more and more angry in her heart.
"Alright, alright. Seeing that Qing'er was really angry, Yan Xi said solemnly, "There is a feast in the world, is it possible that our brothers and sisters can still live in the Three Kings' Mansion for a lifetime?"
"Huh?" Qing'er woke up like a dream, her body flashed back, and her face was confused. After a while, she seemed to have regained consciousness, but her face was very lonely and disappointed, "Sister is right." She lowered her head in frustration, and kept fiddling with the corners of her blouse with both hands, "However, Qing'er doesn't want her sister to go." Actually, even if you really live in the palace for a lifetime, I don't think the prince will have an opinion. ”
"Hehe, Qing'er, ....... Yan Xi held her face speechlessly, but was stunned. Because, Qing'er has two obvious tear stains on her cheeks, and there are tears rolling in her eyes. She immediately tightened her heart, "Qing'er, don't cry, even if you leave, my sister will often come back to see you." ”
"Really?" Qing'er looked at her with a wink of splashing eyes.
"Well, of course, my sister does what she says. Yan Xi nodded vigorously.
"Qing'er—get out of here——!"
Just when Yan Xi and Qing'er were lyrical to the climax, a violent roar came from outside the door, which frightened the two daughters to tremble.
"Ahh......h
