On the way back to the palace, Xuanyuan Qingshui and Ji Bangsha, who originally planned to go back with Qu Lisheng, had a report on the way, saying that Ji Qingsha had a quarrel with someone in the Strange Pavilion because of a cricket, and the two could only go back to see it first and come back to visit another day.

Qu Lisheng naturally agreed with a smile.

When they left, he couldn't help but look at a building not far away, where there stood a person, his slender figure set off by a red brocade robe.

The man narrowed his eyes, glanced at him, and then left in the direction of Xuanyuan Qingshui.

When Qu Lisheng had just entered the palace, someone told him that Xia Guang had found him, so he didn't go back to the room to change clothes, and went directly to Xia Guang's Xixue Courtyard.

At that time, Xia Guang was exchanging soil with Cuiyu for the two crickets. In fact, Xia Guang didn't know anything about how to raise crickets, and he would change the soil, or Cuiyu told her, saying that if she wanted to raise crickets, she had to change the damp soil for them often, and she couldn't raise them together, so she had to put one in a small pottery jar, so as not to have fewer arms and legs. They should also be fed water and food frequently, such as steamed buns, rice kernels, corn kernels, etc.

Because it was really boring, Xia Guang and Cuiyu tossed these two crickets.

The scene Qu Lisheng saw when he came to Xixue Courtyard was that Xia Guangzheng picked up a handful of wet mud and pressed it to the bottom of the small jar, with a serious look, he really thought she was doing something great.

Cuiliu, who was in the distance, planned to remind the two of them, but Qu Lisheng made a silent gesture to her.

He walked softly behind Xia Guang and saw what she was doing.

After Xia Guang flattened the soil, he looked at it, and then asked Cuiyu, "Do you think this is okay?" ”

Cuiyu also found out when Qu Lisheng came, and Qu Lisheng also made a silent gesture to her, so she didn't greet Xia Guang in advance, she carefully took the clay pot in Xia Guang's hand and looked at it, then nodded, and hummed.

Seeing her nodding, Xia Guang took the clay pot back again, and then when she was about to pick up the bamboo tube that was placed on the ground to hold the big clam, she found that the bamboo tube was missing, and she thought that she might roll behind her, so she turned around sharply, only to find that there was a person squatting behind her, and at this time her lips happened to be printed on the face of that person, her eyes widened, and she was stunned. Oh my god, when will this person be here and why no one has reminded her.

Qu Lisheng was holding a bamboo tube and looking sideways, but he didn't expect Xia Guang to suddenly turn around, so when he found that his face was touched by something, he was also stunned. The soft touch made him know that something was pressing on his face, and his face turned pink a little.

In addition to the two of them who were stunned, some other people present were also stunned, and no one expected such a situation to happen.

Cuiliu's hand tightened, and she suddenly spoke: "Miss Xia, the prince has been staying behind you just now. ”

Cuiyu secretly glanced at Cuiliu.

After Cuiliu shouted, the two of them quickly separated, and the two of them turned their heads at the same time, wanting to alleviate this embarrassment.

Qu Lisheng lowered his head, covered his mouth with his hands, and coughed.

"What are you doing behind me?" When he came back to his senses, Xia Guang exclaimed and reflexively slapped him.

The sound of "popping" shocked everyone present.

Cuiliu Cuiyu, and some of the servants who stayed in other places all covered their mouths and looked at that scene in surprise, they never thought that the high-ranking prince would be slapped by someone.

"Uh" Qu Lisheng's mind was full of the kiss just now, and he was stunned by her sudden slap, he looked at Xia Guang's hand that came over, and then touched his face again, only then did he react, he seemed to have been slapped by this woman again. He wanted to be angry, but he couldn't get angry, and said helplessly, "You seem to have been used to slapping me." Looking at the slender white palm, fortunately, the strength of the hand this time is not very strong.

"Who made you crouch behind me all of a sudden?" Xia Guang hurriedly put his hand on his back, and then said, but his confidence was a little lacking. It seemed like she had pressed it herself, and he didn't do anything.

"The housekeeper said you were looking for me, so I came over, but I didn't bother you because you seemed to be busy with something." Qu Lisheng explained innocently.

Qu Lisheng is reasonable, Xia Guang is not good to punish again, no one wants this kind of thing to happen.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere at the scene became more and more awkward.

Now what? I should have to run away immediately after dumping someone, why did I stay where I was stupid and asked others why, now it's okay, it's not right to go, it's not right not to go. Xia Guang was so annoyed that she wanted to dig a hole in it now and bury her head in it, so that she would not know anything.

Qu Lisheng didn't know how to interface, and he hadn't encountered this situation, so he could only say that this kind of situation would only be brought to her by Xia Guang. Seeing that her head was getting lower and lower, and she was about to hang on the ground, Qu Lisheng could only break the silence first, "What are you looking for me today?" ”

When Qu Lisheng asked her like this, she remembered the purpose of looking for him today, she quickly raised her head again, looked at Qu Lisheng's face, and said, "Let's talk about the incident that happened before." ”

When he first heard it, Qu Lisheng frowned, a little unsure of what she was talking about, but seeing her serious face, he nodded. I didn't expect her to be really distracted.

However, Xia Guang just didn't want to let the scene be embarrassing.

Xia Guang looked around and found that the group of maids and servants were all looking at them with a look of surprise, and she knew that at this time tomorrow, she didn't know what the matter would be gossip about. A defeated look said, "Let's go to the study and talk." ”

Qu Lisheng stood up, also looked around, nodded approvingly, and then took the lead in leaving Xixue Courtyard.

Xia Guang put the clay pot in Cuiyu's hand, and then instructed her to take care of the big cricket and the second cricket, and asked Cuiliu to bring a basin of water and wash her hands, and then she went out of Xixue Courtyard.

There is a bamboo bed on the right side of the study of the Eight Princes' Mansion, and there is an extra one on the left side, and a low table is placed on the collapse, and a series of tea sets are placed on the table. Qu Lisheng was kneeling down and sitting at a low table, holding his cuffs with one hand and drenching the teapot and teacup with hot water with the other. After seeing Xia Guang coming, he slowed down the movements in his hand and said softly: "I don't sleep on a bamboo bed in winter, you can come here to taste tea." ”

Xia Guang didn't know what he meant, wasn't he just hinting at the picture she had drawn for him before. She didn't say anything, just took off her shoes and knelt down at the low table like him.

"So next time you can use this as a draw."

Xia Guang had just sat down when he heard such a sentence, and rolled his eyes in his heart, do you still want me to draw another one?

"Yegongzi hasn't made his promise yet, and now he's thinking about another painting, which is a bit too much." Xia Guang looked at Ye Shengge's technique curiously, his movements were light and casual, and he really had a bit of a bluffing posture, which looked quite pleasing to the eye.

"Miss Xia is right, is this what you are looking for me today?" Qu Lisheng said that in fact, after coming to the study, he thought of what Xia Guang said he wanted to talk about before, but just now because of that embarrassing kiss, he didn't remember it for a while.

"Naturally not, but after dealing with another matter, Yegongzi still has to say this matter again." Xia Guang kept watching his movements, and thought it was quite interesting to pour tea on the set like this, so he stretched out his hand and took hot water from the Yesheng singer.

When he saw the pair of white and tender hands that suddenly appeared in his hand, Qu Lisheng raised his eyebrows, but finally handed the hot water to her.

According to her observation just now, Xia Guang was scalding those tea sets in a good manner, and her movements seemed a little trembling, not as casual and natural as Qu Lisheng.

Watching her movements, Qu Lisheng's heart warmed, and he suddenly hoped that the future days would be as comfortable and leisurely as this time.
