Except for the sound of footsteps hurrying near them, the tree seemed very quiet, in fact, such a large tree could not cover them at all, and those who passed by could find it by looking closely, but it was dark, and the people who passed by were in a hurry, and did not notice them.

Qi Xiangsi felt that something was wrong, and only after waiting for someone to pass by did he suddenly lower his head and let go of his hand like lightning.

It was also a subconscious action, after being nervous, his palms were sweaty, Qi Xiangsi rubbed lightly on his clothes, and only after rubbing did he react to what was wrong, when he raised his head, he met his dark gaze, and then looked at his posture that he had not moved since just now, Qi Xiangsi had an urge to disappear on the spot.

The wind blew the leaves and snarled, Yan Congyu's palm was slightly gripped, the palm was the damp heat after she shook it, and the two of them were very close, so close that they could smell the faint fragrance of orchids on her body.

Halfway, a handkerchief was handed over under her eyes, followed by her soft voice: "Do you want to wipe it?" ”

Yan Congyu glanced at Sipa, turned his head and rejected her directly.

Qi Xiangsi pursed his mouth, sweated and wiped what was wrong, what kind of eyes did he have.

The people who passed by stopped not far from them, and looked around, Qi Xiangsi was afraid that he would see this, so he leaned towards Yan Congyu, and only after realizing it did he quickly move away, with the appearance of another person over there, Qi Xiangsi's attention was attracted by them, and his body naturally approached him.

Yan Congyu saw her "rubbing" and avoiding her like a rabbit, and finally became impatient and scolded in a deep voice: "What are you doing." ”

As if they were trading something, Qi Xiangsi saw the two people sneakily passing things, and looked up at him after hearing his voice, very innocent: "Don't you like others to touch you." ”

Yan Congyu's face sank even more, he picked up the stone on the ground and threw it in the direction of that side, maybe he was a thief, such a movement scared them a lot, and the two of them left in a hurry.

A gust of wind blew by, Qi Xiangsi saw him get up and walked out, his steps were not fast but his steps were very big, Qi Xiangsi followed and got up and walked from behind the tree to the path, suddenly found something, ran to the place where the two people were standing just now, and picked up a palm-sized brand.

The wooden sign was engraved with words, and after Qi Xiangsi saw it clearly, he quickly put the wooden card in his pocket and turned his head to look at him: "I'll go back to the Spring Imperial Garden." ”

Yan Congyu glanced at her, didn't say anything, turned around and walked towards the door in the direction where Qi Xiangsi came, and Qi Xiangsi behind followed from a distance, until he walked near the Spring Imperial Garden.

The palace corridor at night is quieter than during the day, only the faint yellow lamp is lit, and the clearest thing to hear is his own footsteps, Qi Xiangsi saw that he had passed the door of the Spring Imperial Garden at the corner in front, raised his hand and touched the wooden sign hidden in his arms, turned around and went directly into the garden.

After only two steps, I heard Qi Min's voice: "Where have you been!" ”

Qi Minhua and Qi Minshi rushed towards her, followed by the palace maid who had guided Qi Xiangsi before, several people had worries on their faces, especially the palace maid, the person she led suddenly disappeared, and if something happened, she would have to lose her head.

"I got lost when I came out, and I didn't know it when I got out of the Spring Imperial Garden after I went through the fork." Qi Xiangsi smiled very embarrassed, "When I walked through the palace corridor, I felt the same as where I went, and when I entered a garden, I thought I was back, but I didn't expect to go wrong, and I asked the right one." ”

Qi Minhua saw that she was fine, and was relieved: "It's okay, the third aunt asked about you just now, I thought to myself that if you go out of the Spring Imperial Garden, you should come back from here, and it can be regarded as not wrong." ”

Qi Xiangsi smiled, and Qi Minyan also breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, it's okay, if we can't wait for you any longer, we should go out to find you." ”

"Worries you." Qi Xiangsi followed them back to the banquet living room, it was already over, the Wang family and the Gu family were chatting, seeing them coming, they said goodbye to several ladies with a smile, "It's getting late, we're far away, let's go first." ”

The carriage went out of the palace, and arrived at the Qi Mansion after half an hour, at this time the mansion was very quiet, and the jade greeted Qi Xiangsi at the door, and after returning to Yirong Xuan, he quickly asked Lilac to bring the freshly cooked supper: "The girl is hungry." ”

Qi Xiangsi nodded, she didn't eat much at the dinner, not because the dishes were not good, but because the people around her didn't move, as if those delicacies were just decorations, and she was full when she looked at them.

After eating supper, the jade went down to prepare water, Qi Xiangsi took out the wooden sign in his arms, under the candle flame, the palm-sized brand was engraved in the middle of the two words, the word in the middle was poured with melted silver, before it was dimly seen in the garden, now look carefully, the brand is still engraved with shallow lines, there is a small circular mark burned out with fire paint behind it, the seal is uneven, Qi Xiangsi can't see what it is.

"Medicine." Qi Xiangsi pondered silently, "It's related to medicine, isn't it too a hospital?" ”

When she hid it in her pocket, the little prince should have seen it, but he didn't react at all, Qi Xiangsi touched the words on it and muttered: "Is this useless." ”

Got up and put the wooden sign away, Qi Xiangsi made up his mind to inquire about this hospital first, it was late at night, and after washing, Qi Xiangsi quickly fell asleep.

That night, she had a dream, dreaming that she was implicated by the little prince, and went down the mountain again, but this time it was not a hillside, but fell off the cliff, surrounded by rattans on the cliff, half-hung on the cliff, the wind blew two people, and it was very cold.

Qi Xiangsi shouted and asked him to hurry up and grab the tree on the cliff, so as not to fall down while dangling the end of the rattan, but the little prince refused, and looked at the tree in Qi Xiangsi's hand with disgust, and even more disgusted with the rattan that surrounded him, and then she saw him untie the rattan and fall.

He was still smiling at her as he fell.

Qi Xiangsi was immediately frightened awake, holding her chest and gasping for a few breaths, it was so weird, how could she have such a dream, and she dreamed of the little prince, the little prince actually smiled at her!

It's just horrible.

At this time, it was already bright outside, Jade opened the tent to help her up, Qi Xiangsi rubbed her slightly pantothenic neck, and she really felt like she had experienced a dream: "What time is it?" ”

"It's still early." Jade pushed open the window, the morning breeze outside the house, and the sound of birdsong came in, Lilac came in with a food box, and Lianxin still held an ice basin in her hand, which contained the ice cubes that had just been chiseled in the outer yard.

"Put it there." Jade motioned to Lianxin to put the ice basin in the corner of the sun, Qi Xiangsi sat down after washing, and the breakfast he took this morning also included bean soup to reduce the fire and clear the heat.

Not long after, a maid okra came to the second room, and sent a small box to Qi Xiangsi, and opened it to put three medical books inside, Qi Xiangsi was stunned, it was brought up at the last Qi family banquet, and after so long, Qi Henian really sent it to her.

The book is new, and the words in it seem to have just been written for not many days, Qi Xiangsi looked up at okra with a smile: "Thank you Sister okra for this trip." ”

"The second master instructed, this is written by himself for the five girls, if there is anything you don't understand, the five girls just go and ask him."

The jade sent okra out, Qi Xiangsi looked at the good words on the paper, and couldn't help but want to laugh, her grandfather often told her that seeing the words showed her person, but it was not the case when it was used on Qi Henian. But Qi Xiangsi has to admit that these books are written very carefully.

She likes to follow her grandfather and father when she babbles, the Qi family does not pass on the saying that men do not pass on women, and her sister Citron also began to contact these when she was a child, and her grandfather also taught her these happily, and the grandfather and grandson often nested in the medicine field behind the house.

It's a pity that she didn't have time to learn more before the Qi family had an accident, and she only saw her grandfather's acupuncture and moxibustion skills.

There was the sound of the paper being crumpled under his hands, Qi Xiangsi came back to his senses, and gently smoothed the paper that was pinched up by himself, he was willing to teach, then she was willing to learn.

――――――――――――――――――――――

The hot summer days passed quickly, and June passed, and several major events took place in the hottest July and August in Kyoto City.

It's like the scorching sun falling suddenly, and the people who are shocked are dizzy, which is the most appropriate way to describe the Qi family who received the holy decree at this time.

In the front hall kneeling the Qi family, the front is not the old lady Qi but Qi Minhua, who came to announce the decree is the emperor's father-in-law He Xiu, and the unique sharp voice is particularly clear in the courtyard where the voice is known.

The holy decree is very long, Qi Xiangsi, who was kneeling behind, remembered the last few sentences, and after He Xiu read the holy decree, he looked at Qi Minhua who was kneeling at the front: "Miss Qi San, take the decree." ”

Qi Minhua was stunned and didn't react, but the old lady Qi, who was still kneeling behind, gently called her granddaughter before Qi Minhua reached out to receive the will, this holy decree for marriage was even hotter than the bluestone slab kneeling under her knees.

"Get up, guys, and don't kneel anymore." He Xiu looked at the Qi family with a smile, and the reactions after receiving the holy decree were thousands, and the Qi family was very common like this.

The maid helped Qi Min to paint, and the people behind him also got up, Qi Min took a step back with the holy decree in his hand, looked up at He Xiu, and was still puzzled, what does this marriage decree mean: "Father-in-law He, this"

"Miss Qi San, congratulations." He Xiu congratulated him, and then said to the old lady Qi behind Qi Min, "Old lady, congratulations." ”

Old Madam Qi hurriedly asked Mother Lin to hand He Xiu a big red envelope, and invited him to sit inside with a smile: "Father-in-law He, it's better to go in and have a cup of herbal tea to heat it up." ”

Seeing that the Qi family didn't know why just now, he knew that they had something to ask, He Xiu put the red envelope into his sleeve, smiled and nodded: "Then there is labor." ”

Old Madam Qi invited Gonggong He into the front hall, Wang reminded Fang to put away the holy decree, Qi Xiangsi looked up, Qi Minhua who had been pulled under the eaves obviously had not eased his mind.

"The third sister still remembers the ten princes she saw at the rockery when she entered the palace in June." Qi Xiangsi walked up to her and grabbed her, Qi Minhua nodded and looked at her, "That's just once." ”

Isn't that time, Qi Xiangsi felt that the eyes of the ten princes looking at the third sister were not right, but no one expected that after two months, they would make a decree to give marriage and let the third sister be the prince's side concubine.

The eldest brother Qi Yanlin has not yet taken the exam, in other words, there is no official in the Qi family's big house, so it is not the turn of such an identity to choose Qi Minhua to be the prince's concubine, unless someone asks for it.

Except for the Ten Princes who have met once, who else can it be.
