Chapter 207: Boiling Tea
"Dongxun over there...... I'll have to think about what to say. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info you help me pay more attention, and if there are any paintings like this, help me put them away. By the way, can you find out who drew it?"
"There is a payment in the painting, the prodigal son Xiao. I've asked.,It's quite famous.,The biggest hobby is to visit the Qinglou to see the beauty.,Because there's no money.,I often paint portraits for those Qinglou women.,It's said to be quite popular.。 But a few years ago he suddenly disappeared, and no one knows where he went. What, you're looking for him?"
Xue Ying shook her head: "No need, it's all missing anyway." ”
Putting the scroll aside, she said pitifully, "I'm thirsty." ”
"Pour your own water!" "Xi Xi was not angry, "Don't lie in bed all day, the more you lie down, the more you lose your energy." ”
Xue Ying had to reluctantly get up, staggered over and poured herself a glass of water, dizzy for a while before recovering from her senses. "How's your cooperation with the Lan family?"
"Didn't your eldest sister tell you?"
"I haven't been back to Anjing for two years, and so many things have happened since I came back this time, and I haven't seen her yet. ”
Xi Xi shrugged: "It's okay." If you can tell me all the secrets about the Lan family, maybe I can make the Lan family completely break with Murong Jing. ”
"Then you better take your time. "A secret is a secret, how can you say it casually? But speaking of Murong Jing, King Ping, Xue Ying remembered one thing: "King Sui had a partner outside before, and he lost so quickly this time because of this partner. It stands to reason that the power that King Sui is secretly operating is not small, and it shouldn't be easy to devour it quietly, right?"
Xi Xi sneered: "What can I know about things that even the emperor can't inquire about? However, my suspicions are the same as yours." ”
The two glanced at each other, and their hearts were self-explanatory. Xue Ying said: "But why is this? No matter how you think about it, it is impossible for King Sui to find such a partner." ”
"I don't understand it either. Although Murong Jing's biological mother is a relative of the former Empress Dowager, she is only an unfavored concubine daughter of a distant relative of the side branch, and she is extremely stupid, and King Sui will never look down on someone from such a background. ”
"If you don't fancy his background, then you fancy him as a person?"
Xi Xi frowned deeply and did not speak.
As the emperor's son, he was favored by the traitor King Sui as a partner, but he also betrayed King Sui, and quietly took the forces that others had been operating for many years under his command, and what is even more exaggerated is that this matter was also hidden from his emperor's father, what kind of person is this Murong Jing, and what he did was too rebellious, right?
"Where is King Sui now?" Xue Ying asked.
"I don't know, it's said to be in the prison, but no one is sure. If you want to know, you can ask that daddy. ”
Speaking of Xue Qi, Xue Ying could only pout helplessly: "Forget it, it's not good to see him every time." ”
"Then you still tried your best to save him? Every time you say how much you hate him, don't you risk your life to protect him at a critical moment?
"......" Xue Ying had a feeling of being dumb and eating Coptis chinensis. After thinking about it, he said to himself: "Should I find a chance to meet Princess Sui? After all, she is still my mother in name?"
"Everyone else avoids it, what are you going to make a fuss?!" Xi Xi couldn't wait to pour a basin of ice water on her head to see if she could make her head clearer. "Besides, King Sui and Princess Sui have been a husband and wife in name only from the beginning, and even if you go to see her, you won't find any news. ”
"I'm not here to inquire about the news, but I think the princess is quite pitiful...... Okay, okay, let's not talk about that. Oh yes, what's the situation with the hidden king next to the Suiwang Mansion, have you inquired?"
"I guess I know a little bit. Xi Xi took a deep breath and looked at her thin and deformed face, "But looking at the way you look now, I think it's better to tell you later." ”
"Do you need such a mystery? I just want to know what's going on with that fat carving. Is there anyone more taboo than King Sui?"
Xi Xi clasped his hands around his chest: "Anyway, I don't want to say it now, what can you do with me?"
Xue Yingxin had no choice but to give up reluctantly.
………………
Under the stimulation of the past, Xue Ying finally lost that half-dead appearance, and took advantage of the sunny and windless weather to move a recliner and put it under the corridor to bask in the sun and breathe.
After reading the book for a while, she was a little tired, put the book on her eyes and squinted in a daze, and faintly heard footsteps approaching, she said vaguely: "The fried chestnuts sold in the alley outside are so fragrant, buy a few bags and share them for everyone to eat." ”
"Where's the silver?" the man asked.
"Find Dong Xun to get ......" Xue Ying finally reacted halfway through her answer, so frightened that she rolled over and rolled off the reclining chair, staring at the person with wide eyes.
Xue Qi looked at her embarrassment coldly, and said, "It's quite energetic, it seems that you are pretending to be pitiful in front of someone, right?"
Someone is of course referring to the third lady Liao Yunxi.
Xue Ying came to her senses as if someone had poured cold water on her, threw the book aside, and greeted lazily: "Why is the third master here?"
Xue Qi glanced at the book she threw away, "The Lewd God Steals the Rivers and Lakes", and raised her eyebrows slightly. I didn't expect that there would be such a book in his jurisdiction.
Xue Ying coughed uncomfortably, and quickly turned the book on the back to cover up the incriminating evidence, but she didn't expect a comment to be written on the back: The obscene god stole the rivers and lakes and traveled all over the world's beautiful boudoirs.
The more the depiction became darker, Xue Ying's wooden face was broken, and she was too lazy to struggle again: "The third master hasn't said anything yet?"
Xue Qi didn't pursue anything, and said, "I have something to tell you, go in." ”
"Okay. Xue Ying made a gesture to invite him in, and then called: "Dong Xun." ”
"What's wrong, Miss?" Dong Xun came out of the teahouse and saw Xue Qi, he was startled, hurriedly saluted, and then secretly looked at Xue Ying to inquire.
Xue Ying smiled slightly: "Make tea and entertain the third master." ”
As smart as Xue Qi, he naturally heard that something was wrong in her tone, but after the boiled tea was served, he couldn't help but taste it curiously when he saw Xue Ying taking one bite after another as if nothing happened, and then changed color instantly.
His upbringing made it impossible for him to spit out the contents of his mouth, but the taste of the tea was so terrible that it was beyond imagination. He looked at Xue Ying, who squinted at him, and then calmly took another sip.
"I'm sorry, I don't have any good tea here, I've wronged the third master. ”
"Is this your taste? It's quite special. He put down the bowl and decided never to try a second bite again. Dong Xun thoughtfully sent light tea, Xue Qi poured two cups in a row, and finally washed away the disgusting taste in his mouth.
Xue Ying smiled peacefully, and she didn't see the slightest malice at all: "If the third master likes it, I'll give you two packs later, I hope you don't dislike it." ”
He's disgusted!
Xue Qi finally decided to skip these red tapes, and said to Dong Xun: "I have something to say to your young lady, you keep it and don't let people in." ”
