In the huge Yuwang Mansion, it is not difficult to avoid the little prince, Qi Xiangsi went to the kitchen to decoct the medicine in the morning, and stayed there after returning to the guest room, so for two days, I didn't see each other.

The evening sun shines warmly, Qi Xiangsi stands under the eaves, and a osmanthus tree against the wall in the yard grows sparsely, and the fragrance is strong.

Lu Li came back from the kitchen, holding a bowl of bird's nest soup that had just been stewed by the chef, and when she saw her looking at the wall in a daze, she asked, "Does the girl want to make wine?" ”

Qi Xiangsi was stunned: "Winemaking? ”

"Senior brother said you asked early in the morning."

Qi Xiangsi's cheeks suddenly turned red, where did she want to make wine, she just asked Lu Qinyu if the osmanthus in the palace was the same as the one in the Eighth Prince, but when she said this, Qi Xiangsi unconsciously remembered that when he came down from the observation deck that day, Lu Qin looked at himself seriously and asked: "Miss Qi, have you drunk too much, this wine has a lot of stamina." ”

It's just that I drank too much.

Qi Xiangsi sighed slightly, looked at the branches and leaves that swayed as soon as the wind blew, and said, "Lord Lu remembered wrong. ”

"But my brother's winemaking skills are really good, and I learned them from my sister."

After taking care of Qi Xiangsi for a while, Lu Li said a little more, mentioned a few words to Qi Xiangsi about the division where they were, put down the bowl and handed Qi Xiangsi a spoon before adding: "This is specially ordered by the prince to boil up, I am worried that you will not sleep well when you first come, and I will replenish your vitality." ”

Qi Xiangsi almost coughed out after taking a bite of bird's nest soup, covering the corners of her mouth with a red face, she can sleep anywhere and never recognizes the bed, except for the past few days......

After drinking the bird's nest soup, Lu Li went out to clean up, Qi Xiangsi sat at the desk, put a few books and didn't move, and the paper was a recipe written in the morning, only two flavors of medicine were added.

The jade hand rested on the cheeks, Qi Xiangsi lowered his eyes and looked at the pen, thinking of a few days ago for a while, and then thinking of those things in the palace for a while, mixed together and noisy.

Patting her forehead, Qi Xiangsi took out a letter from the medical book on the side, which was sent by Xiao Liuzi last time, she originally planned to go out of the palace, but now it looks like it is difficult, Qi Henian originally sent someone to stare at the palace, but now he is staring at the Yuwang Mansion, I am afraid that whoever goes out will ask someone to keep an eye on it.

After reading the letter carefully, Yongzhou should be correct.

Thinking about these things, Qi Xiangsi's heart calmed down, until it was dark, she raised her head from the pile of books, gently rubbed her neck, and in front of her was the hot soup that Lu Li had just served.

Smelling the aroma and having an appetite, Qi Xiangsi drank a bowl, took the book from the shelf and put it on the table, the pen in his hand turned slightly, and then added a flavor medicine to the prescription that had been changed a few times, and then counted, nine flavor medicines, almost.

To cure a cough, it is obvious that simple medicine can be used, but Qi Xiangsi still has to get this thing is not so easy, there are too few six flavors, too many twelve flavors, so it is just right.

"Almost." Qi Xiangsi put the prescription into the book, copied the notes on the table, and looked up again It was already late at night.

In the past few days, the weather in Kyoto City has cooled down very quickly, and the wind blowing in from the window is a little cold, Qi Xiangsi is not tired, he got up and walked to the window, the sky outside is foggy, and the whole city seems to be shrouded, and it is cold.

Looking out from the guest room, after the corridor and then going around, passing through a small garden is the main courtyard, at this time the lights in the main courtyard are still on, Yan Congyu sat in the study, in front of him was a few volumes of files that had been sorted out, and Lu Qin put them one by one in the box, and then asked: "Lord Wang, are these all sent to the palace?" ”

Yan Congyu glanced at them and hummed.

These files were sorted out by Lu Qin with the help of Lu Qin, and the information in the few volumes that were not put outside the box was also very important, but the prince did not put them in together and gave them to the eighth prince.

"Lord Wang, did you invite the Eighth Prince over by the way?"

Yan Congyu held the cup for a moment, and as the bottom of the cup touched the plate, the voice came: "Wait a little longer." ”

Lu Qin was stunned for a moment, shouldn't the Eighth Prince's illness get better as soon as possible? Or the prince wants to keep the girl for a while.

Thinking of this, Lu Qin was puzzled, although he didn't know why Miss Qi was in a hurry at the observation deck two days ago, but looking at the reactions of the prince and Miss Qi in the past two days, he always felt that he had acted in a play "There are no silver three hundred taels here".

"Is the carriage ready?"

"Lord, everything is ready according to your orders."

The study was quiet again.

After the fog passed overnight, the next morning was extremely cold, and the grass in the flower bed outside the house was even covered with a thin layer of frost, Qi Xiangsi came out of the house and was about to go to the kitchen, when Lu Li, who came to deliver breakfast, stopped her: "Girl, the prince just sent someone over and said that you should go out with him today." ”

"Where?"

"The prince didn't say it."

Qi Xiangsi didn't think about him: "Then I'll change my clothes, and you go and prepare some food." ”

......

After going out of the door and getting into the carriage, there was still nothing to say, the atmosphere in the carriage was quiet and strange, Qi Xiangsi looked out the window, Yan Congyu flipped through the book, the two of them went one after the other, and no one looked at anyone.

Until the carriage entered the alley, the noise outside the window also quieted down, and the picture under Qi Xiangsi's eyes changed from the market to the old wall in the alley, and with a "bang", the carriage was covered with a gray cover, covering the original appearance of the carriage of Yuwangfu, and then Lu Qin opened the curtain and the cat body entered the carriage.

Qi Xiangsi saw that the coachman outside had changed, and he knew in his heart that he was getting rid of the people who had been following them from the beginning of leaving Yuwang's Mansion.

The alley was narrow and difficult to follow, and it was too close and easy to spot, which gave them a little time, and after the carriage turned the corner, another car drove out of the corner exactly like them, and only after leaving the alley in their original trajectory did they return to the market from the mouth of another alley, and then the tail that had followed them had changed its target and followed the carriage with the sign of the palace.

After running for a while, the coachman stopped in front of the tea stall and pretended to sell tea, and when he came back, he drove slowly towards the city gate, and reported to Lu Qin in the carriage: "Lord Lu, there are two more." ”

Lu Qin nodded: "You can go out of the city." ”

After leaving the city, there were fewer and fewer people, and the people behind them couldn't follow too closely, and the carriage began to accelerate after getting on the official road, and after throwing off a large section of the back, they changed to a carriage, and guarded down from the fork in the road, so that the original carriage continued along the official road.

After getting rid of everyone, Lu Qin followed the coachman and drove along the trail into the detour road, and the two of them were left in the carriage again, Qi Xiangsi took a deep breath and was about to break the embarrassment, Yan Congyu just put down the book and looked at her, looking at each other.

Qi Xiangsi glanced sideways slightly, put his hands on his lap and rubbed lightly unconsciously: "Are there two groups of people following us?" ”

"Hmm."

"What did you just chase?"

"King Zhao's people."

In other words, it was Qi Henian's people who were dumped in the alley before.

Qi Xiangsi pursed his lips and turned his head to look out the window, the picture gradually changed from the mountains and forests to the bushes, and the trees shaded in front of him gradually disappeared when he went downhill, the picture was clear, there were distant mountains and near lakes, Qi Xiangsi had never been to this place, but felt that it was lush everywhere, not like autumn, but like a deep spring with lush foliage.

When the carriage stopped on the slope, Qi Xiangsi couldn't help but run out of the word "stepping green" in his mind, and the scenery he saw after getting off the carriage was good, but after looking around for such a circle, there were only them.

After changing cars several times and throwing off so many people who were tracking, it was not just to see the lakes and mountains.

Soon the voice from the small forest not far away solved Qi Xiangsi's doubts, and the people who ran out of the small forest one after another were also stunned after seeing Qi Xiangsi, and one of them had a touch of surprise on his face, and happily greeted Qi Xiangsi: "Sister Qi!" Why are you here! ”

Qi Xiangsi blinked her eyes in disbelief, she turned to look at Yan Congyu, who looked back at her calmly, looking at the look on her face with surprise turned to joy, and the corners of her mouth also rose.

"Chi ...... It's you. Qi Xiangsi looked at Zhang Jing who rushed over, and touched his head with a smile, "Why are you here?" ”

"My classmates and I came to catch hares." Zhang Jing beckoned to the back, and a young man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes walked up, about the same age as Zhang Jing, and still holding a bow in his hand.

Qi Xiangsi raised his hand to brush away the two strands of sweat-soaked hair on his forehead, took out a handkerchief and wiped it for him, and smiled: "Come here to catch hares." ”

"Lu Ziqi said that this place is good, there are few people and many things, and I almost hunted a rabbit just now." Zhang Jing compared the situation of meeting the hare in the forest just now, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Qi Xiangsi wiping his sweat for him, and finally looked at her and the little prince behind her curiously, "Sister Qi, what are you doing here?" ”

Qi Xiangsi looked at the young man and asked, "Your surname is Lu?" ”

Lu Ziqi nodded, Qi Xiangsi turned his head and glanced at Lu Qin, and then replied to Zhang Jing with a smile: "Coincidentally, I also came to hunt." ”

After Qi Xiangsi finished speaking, Lu Qin glanced at his master, and then really took out a few bows from the back of the carriage, Qi Xiangsi didn't twist it, picked a handful from his hand, and patted Zhang Jing's shoulder: "Let's go." ”

......

After entering the forest, there is autumn, the fallen leaves all over the ground, the withered yellow color is covered with a thick layer, there is a cracking sound when you step on it, and a few squirrels are looking for food among the fallen leaves.

A gust of wind blew, and the slightly cool air was mixed with the smell of muddy seeds that melted the smell of rotten leaves, Zhang Jing took her to a place where there was a dead tree, and stretched out his hand to stop her: "Be careful, there are traps here." As he spoke, he pulled out an arrow from the quiver behind him, gently flicked the dead leaves covering the animal trap, confirmed that it was not damaged, and looked up and called Lu Ziqi, who was walking in front, "How are you over there?" ”

Lu Ziqi made a "no" gesture, and the two of them checked all the traps set in the forest, and they looked good.

"Sister Qi, what do you think of the trap we set." Zhang Jing pointed to a few traps in the forest, with a touch of smugness in his expression, Qi Xiangsi pursed his lips and smiled, "I heard that if a hare is found, there must be a few active nearby, there is a shrub forest here, there should be a lot." ”

Zhang Jing's eyes lit up: "Then we can catch several today!" ”

"But hares usually come out by day and night, and if you fall into a trap, you will get a bigger harvest tomorrow." Qi Xiangsi squatted down and rummaged in the pile of fallen leaves, beckoned Zhang Jing to squat, and pointed to the rabbit dung hidden in the fallen leaves and the small footprints covered by dead leaves, "The hare is alert, but it likes to repeat the fixed old road that has been walked, so it is easiest to find its traces in winter, and now this month is the farrowing period of wild rabbits, and a nest of rabbits may be found." ”

Lu Ziqi also came around, and according to what Qi Xiangsi said, he found the footprints left by wild rabbits near the bushes and in places with few fallen leaves.

"As long as they're not disturbed, they're used to going in and out of the same way, you see here." Qi Xiangsi pointed to the traces that stretched into the depths of the bushes that were shallow and dragged out, and Zhang Jing looked at it carefully, "Really." ”

The two of them searched patiently under the direction of Qi Xiangsi, and finally found a hole the size of a bowl in the root of a dead tree deep in the bushes, surrounded by dry grass, and there were traces of hares often coming and going in and out of the vicinity.

Next, they don't need Qi Xiangsi to teach them how to do it, one by one is disturbed, and soon a rabbit came out of the hole and hit Lu Ziqi's net pocket directly, and found two little rabbits in the nest, Zhang Jing took them out of the hole and was so unhappy: "There are two!" ”

The rabbit in the net pocket was still struggling, Qi Xiangsi saw his elated appearance, and patted his clothes with a smile: "There are too many thorns here, come out first." ”

Zhang Jing carefully wrapped the two rabbits in his clothes, pulled Qi Xiangsi and walked out of the bushes, his happiness was all written on his face, and he didn't forget to tell Qi Xiangsi: "Sister, be careful, there are many thorns here, you go this way." ”

Qi Xiangsi was stunned, the temperature from the palm of her hand was incredibly warm, she subconsciously clenched it a little, Zhang Jing thought that she was afraid of these annoying bush thorns after falling leaves, and asked Lu Ziqi to open the way in front, and held her hand more tightly, and did not let go firmly.

It was a picture of childhood, she squatted slightly and was led by Zhi'er, the little guy just learned to run and wanted to run, the little short legs stepped very hard, and the hand holding her was very firm, just like now.

It's just that the little guy has grown up, and the young man in front of him still has the appearance of a child, and his temperament is still as naughty as when he was a child, and when he laughs, he is very similar to his sister.

Qi Xiangxi's nose was slightly sour, he took a deep breath, and was led out of the bushes by him, and when he came back to his senses, the temperature in his hand had gradually dissipated, Zhang Jing held the rabbit in his arms, discussed the taste, and said: "Ziqi, let's put the big ones, is it okay to take these two back and raise them?" ”

Lu Ziqi put the big rabbit, estimated that he was a little tired of tossing, the hare paused on the ground for a while before jumping towards the bushes, seeing that it was about to disappear, "boom", an arrow passed in front of their eyes, and directly nailed the hare into the bushes.

Zhang Jing was stunned for a moment, turned around, and Lu Qin, who was walking towards them, still maintained the posture of drawing the bow, and slowly lowered his hand and said: "Two little boys, there is no reason to put the prey back when you come out to hunt." ”

The two teenagers looked at each other, and Lu Qin also found the little rabbit in their hands, and patted them on the shoulder with a smile: "Catching rabbits is what the girl's family does, go, I'll take you to fight roe deer." ”

The two of them followed Lu Qin to the forest with a red face, and the two hares in their hands came to Qi Xiangsi's arms, as if seeing her worry, Yan Congyu comforted her: "There is no danger here." ”

Qi Xiangsi nodded, the two of them walked out of the forest one after the other, Qi Xiangsi found a pocket on the carriage and put the rabbits down, raised his hand and gently touched their little ears, thought of something and chuckled: "I used to look at these, and my first reaction was to sell them, the big ones were sold with belt meat, and the small ones were sent to the shop, the best ones were lived, and someone would collect them." ”

There are a lot of wild rabbits in the farmland outside Yongzhou, and there are a lot of people who catch them all year round, usually they are not the turn of these little beggars, only in the winter can they have a chance, and occasionally catch a few Qi Xiangsi are reluctant to eat, and the whole one is sold for money to buy medicine for A Ying, and she also knows some tricks to catch hares in a few years.

Yan Congyu stood aside and listened quietly, his eyes fell on her hand stroking the rabbit ear, as if reflecting her emotions at the moment.

"Thank you."

Yan Congyu raised her head, her eyebrows lowered, and her voice was very soft.

As soon as the wind blew, the unique sound of the mountains and forests came from afar, as if to express her unfinished thanks, thank him for his arrangement, thank him for letting her see her brother, and there were too many.

"What happened that day...... Don't mind. ”

"Mind what?"

Qi Xiangsi rubbed his hand with rabbit ears for a moment, and the words almost blurted out: "I've drunk a little too much." ”

After rushing out, Qi Xiangsi regretted it, no matter how the cold wind blowing in his face couldn't dispel the atmosphere around him, Qi Xiangsi blushed, and his voice came from his ears, like a chuckle: "I didn't drink too much." ”

Halfway through, another sentence came: "I don't mind." ”

Qi Xiangsi's body stiffened, how good it would be to have a rabbit hole under her feet at this time.

"Acacia."

“......”

"Are you shy?"

Qi Xiangsi suddenly raised his head and glared at him, but saw him laughing.

It was the second time she had seen him smile like this, and the last time was in that dream in the cave, and the smile was stained into his eyes, as if it was about to melt everything, and it was full of hers.

This time it's true.

Qi Xiangsi realized something, the corners of her mouth were sloppy, she was so stupid.

————————————————————————————

An hour later, Lu Qin came back with two small ones carrying a deer, young and ignorant could not notice anything, but Lu Qin saw that there was some change between the prince and Miss Qi, and he happily pulled the two boys to the lake to disembowel, leaving the master and Miss Qi alone on the shore.

Qi Xiangsi was not idle, picked up some dry firewood, and when Lu Qin and them finished cleaning up, she had already set up a simple grill, Yan Congyu on the side looked cold and sharpened the tip of the stick with a dagger, Zhang Jing and Lu Ziqi saw that they were all facing Qi Xiangsi, and couldn't wait to share with her the process of their deer hunting.

There was a stream in the forest in the past, and when they passed, they happened to meet a deer drinking water, Lu Qin taught them how to outflank it, not to hit the key point with one arrow, but to block its escape first. Lu Ziqi's riding shot was better than Zhang Jing's, he shot his forelimbs when outflanking, Zhang Jing's arrow was on the hind hip of the fawn, and finally Lu Qin gave an arrow, and the three of them worked together to carry the fawn back.

After this incident, the two of them admired Lu Qin very much, and the teachers who taught riding and archery in the academy were not as good as him. Listening to Zhang Jing's unstoppable praise of Lu Qin, Qi Xiangsi smiled and handed them the branches that had been cut and taught them to wear venison on them: "If you want to eat, you can do it yourself." ”

It was already noon, and after running in the forest for a long time, they were already hungry, and after they were roasted, they sprinkled the seasoning, and before Qi Xiangsi cut them into pieces, the two of them couldn't wait to take a bite first, and they couldn't take care of the greasy mouth, Lu Qin also patted them on the shoulder and boasted: "This is decent, what kind of rabbit does a man raise." ”

Zhang Jing took the handkerchief handed by Qi Xiangsi and wiped his mouth: "Then the dog you promised to send us doesn't count." ”

"Count!" Lu Qin glanced at the prince, of course, how could the things that the prince had allowed not count.

Qi Xiangsi didn't miss the eye contact between the master and servant, and took the plate to the little prince, the plate was the venison that had been cut, and said with a smile: "Taste it, I don't know if my craftsmanship has regressed." ”

The grilled meat is still oily and golden on one side, and the heat that comes out is fragrant, for Yan Congyu, who participates in the palace hunting twice a year, the person in front of him is more attractive than the meat.

Without waiting for Yan Congyu to answer, Zhang Jing praised Qi Xiangsi's craftsmanship: "Sister Qi's baked is delicious." ”

After eating, Qi Xiangsi went to the lake to wash sour fruits, and Zhang Jing followed her over to carry the basket for her.

Lu Qin cleaned up the rest of the venison, walked to the prince's side, and looked at the figure of the girl Qi and the little son of the Zhang family by the lake, and laughter came from time to time.

Seeing the picture of Qi Xiangsi raising his hand to wipe Zhang Jing's sweat, Yan Congyu's eyes flashed slightly. Can't wait any longer.
