Hu Li was pressed by Xiao Qiao to lie on the bed for a few days before he was finally able to get out of bed, and the suffocated Hu Li got Xiao Qiao's nod, and immediately took Qiu Xi and the two little guys around the imperial city.

The lotus leaf chicken he wanted to eat when he drank the medicine was finally enough in Tianxianglou, and every day when he returned to Xiao's Mansion with Qiuxi, he looked satisfied, and every time Xiao Qiao laughed and scolded him for being a gluttonous cat!

Hu Li didn't care about playing with the red halberd, which had grown a lot, and thought, I'm not a gluttonous cat, I'm obviously a fox.

Xiao Qiao handed a codex and a food box to the Eighth Prince, who had a lot of ruddy complexion these days, "What Xiao Li brought to you is the dim sum that he commanded his subordinates to make, and asked the minister to bring it to you to taste." ”

Qin Yuyi took the codex and put it aside, opened the food box, which contained several plates of small snacks, all of which were delicate and cute, and a sweet fragrance came to his face.

"When can I go out to see Brother Hu Li?" Qin Yuyi looked at Xiao Qiao expectantly, Xiao Qiao smiled and said, "Your Highness, last time, it was only the minister who took advantage of the loophole to bring Xiao Li in, if you want to go out, I'm afraid you can only wait until Your Majesty agrees." ”

Qin Yuyi's expectant eyes dimmed suddenly, and he looked at the sweet snacks in the food box for a while, "Sir, go to the Hanlin Academy, it's going to be too late for a while." ”

Xiao Qiao nodded with a smile and pointed to the codex that was put aside by Qin Yuyi, "The things in this codex, Your Highness should take a good look at them." In the coming year, the minister will take the examination for His Royal Highness. ”

"Yes, sir."

Qin Yuyi looked at Xiao Qiao's back, and Xiao Xiazi, who had been silently following him, left from the other side of the garden.

Mr. said that he could fulfill the responsibility of a teacher, but he could not serve as a teacher, and in the end Qin Yuyi could only call him Mr.

The last time, Mr. took Hu Li's brother into the palace secretly, and it should be the happiest day after he became sensible.

Hu Li's brother raised a young eagle called the red halberd, although it is not yet an adult eagle, but Hu Li's brother said that it will grow very fierce in the future. And the red halberd is very smart, Hu Li's brother said that the red halberd can understand some simple words.

Since Hu Li's brother came once, he often asked his husband to bring him something he thought was delicious and fun.

Qin Yuyi pinched his face and asked Xiao Xiazi on the side, "Am I a little fatter?" ”

Xiao Xiazi nodded, her voice full of happiness, "Your Highness has indeed gained some weight these days, but it is still a little thin." The servant saw that Lord Xiao was a capable person, Your Highness, our current situation is not good, you ......"

Qin Yuyi shook his head and bit his lip, "Xiao Xiazi, I know that Mr. is very powerful, and I heard that my father and emperor appreciate Mr. very much." But my husband is afraid that I am also sympathetic, and I have to make myself a useful person in the eyes of my husband in order to get his support and help. ”

Xiao Xiazi hung his head and carefully followed behind Qin Yuyi, "Your Highness, Niangniang's health is getting worse and worse, we can't count on other people in the palace, we can only hope for Lord Xiao." Speaking of this, Xiao Xiazi sighed, "How can the slave not know that although Lord Xiao has some friendship for you, he ......"

Qin Yuyi's eyebrows were cold, but he calmed down in an instant, "Xiao Xiazi, no one can get love for no reason, this is the first thing that Mr. taught me. Sir doesn't have to take care of me as a prince who has no power, and he doesn't even have a sense of zài in the palace, I know that Mr. promised to teach me that I may have some use value, but those must be in the case of my usefulness. ”

Xiao Xiazi sighed lowly, "Your Highness, Xiao Xiazi doesn't know anything else, but she still knows about being bullied with a big fist." ”

Qin Yuyi didn't speak, but the green tendons on his hand holding the handle of the food box were bulging, maybe the only thing in this world who liked him for no reason was his mother, Xiao Xiazi and Hu Li's brother.

Xiao Qiao didn't know Qin Yuyi's thoughts, but he knew that with Qin Yuyi's intelligence, it was just a matter of time before he thought of these things.

Xiao Qiao greeted a few colleagues, sat in his seat, sorted out some of the materials he was anxious to use, and put them aside.

"Xiao edited, Ming'er will close the pen and retire from the dynasty, but do you want to go drinking together?" Master Lin, who was sitting next to him, stretched his waist and turned his head to ask Xiao Qiao, who was still struggling to write, "Hey, Xiao doesn't have to work so hard to edit, these things will only be used in the next year, and they can be sorted out after the year." ”

Xiao Qiao smiled and shook his head, "It's always something to do, I'm afraid I'll forget it when I come in the next year." ”

"Xiao Xiu, you are too serious, you don't have to be like this in this Hanlin Academy." Master Lin smiled and said, "Hey, Ming'er is going to drink?" ”

Xiao Qiao nodded, "It's okay, it's just that the amount of Qi Ao's wine is not good, if Lord Lin can't enjoy it at that time, don't say that the subordinates have disturbed your interest." ”

Lord Lin smiled heartily and waved his hand, "What's the matter, Ming'er, we adults are all going, we haven't had a good gathering since the beginning of winter." ”

Xiao Qiao kept writing, listening to Lord Lin babbling about some trivial matters of the Hanlin Academy, and the thoughts in his heart were already drifting away.

Although this Lord Lin is now only working as an idle job in the Hanlin Academy, he later invited himself to the Ministry of Industry, and later he was highly respected for his flood control.

Thinking of the great flood in the south two years later, Xiao Qiao retracted his thoughts and looked at the leisurely Lord Lin, and said with a smile: "Don't say any more, the other adults don't dare to agree to your invitation for wine tomorrow." ”

Lord Lin looked at the other adults in the same room and looked at him with a pale face, and touched his nose in a sneering manner, "It's just some things about Chen Guzi's rotten sesame seeds, and several adults are open-minded people, don't care, don't care!" ”

The other adults scoffed, not bothering to pay attention to him. Lord Lin is well-known in the Hanlin Academy, and as long as he has worked together for a long time, Lord Lin can tell everyone what they have done.

Today's weather is not good, gloomy and gloomy, and by the time Xiao Qiao and the others were ready to go home, there were already scattered snowflakes in the sky.

Xiao Qiao sighed, and the white mist blocked his vision. After saying goodbye to a few adults in front of the palace gate, he got into the hot carriage.

"Don't go back to the house yet," Xiao Qiao instructed the coachman outside through the curtain of the door, "Go to Linglong Pavilion." ”

"Hey, okay." The coachman shouted, and with a flick of his whip, the horse kicked and stomped.

The cold weather in winter can't stop people from looking forward to the upcoming New Year, and children wear thick winter coats and run over from the bluestone pavement giggling. Xiao Qiao opened the curtain and glanced at it, thinking of the chattering nonsense this morning, is it just like these children, carefree. Thinking of this, Xiao Qiao chuckled, "What about Xiao Li, are you still teaching the red halberd to speak?" ”

As soon as Shuzhu heard it, he laughed out loud with a "poof", and the little boy didn't know what was wrong, since a few days ago, he wanted to teach a young eagle to speak, and he didn't give up until now.

"No, the little boy also said today that if the red halberd can't speak during the Chinese New Year, let it be a vegetarian all year round." Shuzhu couldn't help laughing when he remembered the little boy's angry stare at the red halberd.

Xiao Qiao smiled and shook his head, "I didn't know he was so persistent. ”

Shuzhu smiled, "According to the small one, the little boy is just a novelty." If it weren't for the fact that Young Master He took a wren to the mansion a few days ago, the little boy would not have to let the red halberd learn to speak. ”

Xiao Qiao scolded helplessly, "He Zhaohua went to tease Xiaoli when he saw the sky, provoked him to do this and that all day long, and next time he asked the porter to stop him outside the house." ”

Shuzhu laughed, and after a while, the carriage stopped in front of a delicate attic, and a young man with clear eyebrows walked out of the attic, looked at Xiao Qiao who got off the car, and said with a respectful smile: "Lord Xiao, the things you ordered before have been ready." ”

Xiao Qiao nodded lightly and walked into this exquisite attic called Linglong Pavilion. Linglong Pavilion is famous in the Imperial City for its skilled craftsmen, originally it was just a small jade shop, and later because it took in a skilled craftsman, it gradually became the most popular carving shop in the Imperial City today.

As long as the guests can afford the price, no matter what kind of carving they want, the master can make it, and the style is novel, and it will never be the same as any of the carvings that exist in the world today.

Xiao Qiao sat in the cabinet of the Linglong Pavilion, and the little servant served tea, "Lord Xiao, please wait a moment, your customized carvings will be delivered soon." ”

"There's no hurry." Xiao Qiao looked at the Linglong Pavilion, at this time, the Linglong Pavilion was not as magnificent as the Seven Princes after he helped the Seven Princes to subdue it in the later period, and it still retained its elegant details everywhere.

"Does the master still live in Xishan now?" Xiao Qiao retracted his gaze and asked the little guy standing on the side.

The little guy was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Xiao Qiao to ask about the master, and nodded after a while, "Yes, the master still lives in Xishan." Thinking that Lord Xiao in front of him might also be begging the master to do something, the little man bowed, "My lord, although the master still lives in Xishan, he doesn't receive outsiders very much. ”

Xiao Qiao waved his hand, "Just ask, don't be nervous." ”

After waiting for a while, the two little guys walked in with a tray in their hands and stood in front of Xiao Qiao.

"Lord Xiao, the things you ordered have been delivered, you can take a look, if there is anything you are not satisfied with, we can repair it for you." The delicate little maid uncovered the red cloth on the tray, and Shuzhu, who followed Xiao Qiao in, looked at the things on the tray enviously, and his saliva flowed greedily.

There is a string of Buddha beads on a tray, the Buddha beads seem to be surrounded by clouds and mist from a distance, only when you walk in can you see, the small Buddha beads are carved on it, and the Buddha statues with kind eyebrows are carved. The most coincidental thing is that after the Buddha beads are connected, the Buddha statues on them are alive.

On the other tray, the contents of the tray look no different from a normal headband, except that there are a few more jewels on the crown than the normal hair tiara.

"The things made by Linglong Pavilion are really exquisite, help me put them up." After Xiao Qiao saw it, he motioned for the little maid to pack up, this was a gift he wanted to give to his grandmother and Xiaoli in the new year. As for the others, just pick some from the small storeroom.

A few days ago, Xiao Qiao came to Linglong Pavilion just to order a string of Buddhist beads for the old lady, and suddenly remembered that he had asked Hu Li's birthday before, and only then did he know that the eighth day of the Lunar New Year next year would be his fifteenth birthday.

Although I was surprised that Hu Li was 14 years old, since it was the year to tie my hair, I would like to send a headband!
