Qi Qing'er walked a few steps along the hand-copying verandah, stopped, and looked at Zhu Wan, who came with the hand stove, for a long time, before taking the hand stove. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xu Xu said: "It's not early, you go down and rest!" ”

Zhu Wan paused for a moment and curtled her knees and said, "Yes." ”

Looking at Zhu Wan's retreating back, Qi Qing'er felt a fear in her heart, fear of King Qi.

With King Qi's cleverness, he must be cautious in his layout, and will never leave any flaws for people to follow.

But he didn't seem to care at all that she knew about it.

Could it be that she is also a pawn in this game? Qi Qing'er sighed and returned to her warm pavilion along the verandah.

He sat by the fire for a long time, until his old illness improved slightly.

Fang paused.

……

For the next few days, the pure princess was almost every day. They all entered the palace to meet Emperor Gao, and went to greet her mother and concubine.

I don't know what King Ling said to the princess when he came to the rain that day, the relationship between the princess and King Ling has been getting worse and worse these days, and the brother-sister friendship in the past is gone.

The princess was busy entering the palace all day.

Qi Qing'er happened to be idle in the house alone.

Since returning to Beijing, things have happened one after another, and Qi Qing'er's already delicate body is in desperate need of recuperation.

These few days have just happened to be obscure.

The footprints that fell on Jingling City in winter were getting deeper and deeper, and wherever there was water in the princess's mansion, a layer of ice was lightly formed.

Qi Qing'er held this volume of classics, accompanied by charcoal fire, wrapped in a fine satin fur cloak specially given by the princess, and sat in the courtyard in front of her warm pavilion, reflecting the blue and cool sky, and carefully reading this classic book called Mr. Linchuan's Wenlu.

Zhu Wan next to her touched the hand stove in Qi Qing'er's hand, "The hand stove is already cold, it's time to change the charcoal fire." ”

Since Zhuwan was pointed out to serve as a stand-in beside Qi Qing'er, it can also be said that she is doing her best.

is meticulous in his work, but there are no thorns to be found.

The only thing is whether Zhu Wan only plays the role of a personal maid here in Qi Qing'er, or is it ......

Qi Qing'er raised her face from the scroll, because of the leisure of the past few days, the sides of her cheeks were flushed with peach-like pink, and her lips were peach-like. He gently closed the scroll with his hand, looked at the branches and forks that had fallen all the leaves in the distance, and said, "Well, it's time to change it." How long have I been sitting here? ”

"It's been almost two hours since I got back to the girl." Zhu Wan replied while taking the hand stove from Qi Qing'er's hand to add carbon.

"It's been two hours......" Qi Qing'er read silently, then closed the classic, moved her apricot eyes to Zhu Wan, and said after thinking for a while: "Regarding Li Xuan, the servant of the Criminal Department, have you found out his background?" ”

Apricot eyes hide temptation.

Zhu Wan put the charcoal stove back into Qi Qing'er's hand, and Fang said in a low voice: "Li Xuan's qualification to serve as the waiter of the Criminal Department was in the twenty-second year of Xuanyuan, and he has been in power for four years so far, as for what he did before, the maid really didn't find out. ”

Qi Qing'er closed her eyes slightly.

didn't find out, one possibility is that Zhu Wan deliberately concealed it, and the other is that he Li Xuan hid it too well. But court officials, like Li Xuan, will have a record of their life experience.

If you really want to check, you may not be able to find out.

Unless......

Qi Qing'er slowly opened her eyes and looked at Zhu Wan, "I asked you to investigate Li Xuan's matter, did you tell King Qi?" ”

Zhu Wan looked at Qi Qing'er's gaze, her face was not red, her heart was not beating, and she said slowly: "Yes." ”

"That's what King Qi made you unable to find!" Qi Qing'er tightened the hand stove in her hand, stood up and walked to the side.

Zhu Wan, "Yes." ”

Qi Qing'er, "You are really loyal to your master!" ”

Zhu Wan, "His Royal Highness King Qi said that the girl will know one day." ”

Qi Qing'er, "Someday?" When? ”

Zhu Wan, "The slave doesn't know for the time being. ”

Qi Qing'er stopped her gaze on Zhu Wan for half a while, she couldn't guess what King Qi meant.

He said: "There is a Shangshu position in the Criminal Department, and there are two other waiters. One of them is Li Xuan, and you can always tell me the origin of the other one! ”

Zhu Wan thought for a moment and wanted to answer truthfully.

But a man's voice sounded in the courtyard.

"Another squire of the Criminal Department is named Cao Ke."

There are no men in the Pure Princess Mansion yet, how can there be men talking here.

Qi Qing'er was just about to turn around when she heard Zhu Wan say, "I've seen His Royal Highness King Xuan." ”

King Xuan! When the princess entered the palace, he should know that when he came to the door at this time, could it be that he came to find her specially?!

Qi Qing'er hurriedly blessed and said, "His Royal Highness King Xuan, the princess is not in the house today, and His Royal Highness is afraid that she will have to change the day. Again. ”

King Xuan stepped on the soft shoes with red embroidered edges, wore a black cloud silk crimson robe, and shook a silk folding fan in his hand in the cold winter, pacing two steps in the courtyard with a relaxed attitude.

Hearing Qi Qing'er's words, he didn't reply in time.

Instead, he raised his hand and let Zhu Wan retreat.

Thin lips slanted slightly, "There is no one else here, Miss Huanyu doesn't need to be so polite, sit down!" As soon as the words fell, King Xuan sat down on his own.

Qi Qing'er's body shook slightly, it seems that he is today. Not here for the princess.

Bypassing the desk, Qi Qing'er sat down opposite King Xuan.

"I don't know, what happened to His Royal Highness King Xuan today?" Qi Qing'er asked politely.

"I heard Jingwen say that she recognized you as her sister, and I was also curious, so I came to take a look." As he spoke, King Xuan's eyes narrowed into a slit and landed directly on Qi Qing'er.

Qi Qing'er lowered her face slightly and didn't look at King Xuan, after all, there was a huge disparity in identity.

After half a salary, he said: "The princess is still young, and sometimes she only relies on her feelings to speak. The princess calls me sister, but only in the boudoir, how can I be arrogant and be the sister of the pure princess of the Great Yu Dynasty! ”

King Xuan listened smoothly.

He came over today to deliberately pick a princess to come and see Qi Qing'er when she was not in the house.

I didn't know what to say for a while, so I opened my mouth about Gao Jingwen recognizing Qi Qing'er as a sister, but I didn't expect Qi Qing'er to value it, and she said so much politely.

King Xuan put his two arms on the table, and the two of them moved the silk folding fan.

Pouted, he said, "Why can't Jingwen recognize you as a sister, after all, you have the grace of reinvention with her, and I think it's quite suitable." ”

Qi Qing'er smiled, still not looking at King Xuan, "Your Highness has spoken." ”

As soon as these words fell, the courtyard was quiet for a while.

Before King Xuan came, Ben had done his homework, and after he came, he wanted to say something to Qi Qing'er, or to show off his majesty, but he couldn't say it when he met.

King Xuan has not been shy and shy for so many years, today. In front of Qi Qing'er, he was inexplicably overwhelmed.

He twisted his head, saw Qi Qing'er bowed his head and was silent, and rolled his eyes and said, "I heard Miss Huanyu mention the waiter of the Criminal Department, I don't know what the girl mentioned about him?" ”

Qi Qing'er naturally felt the subtlety of the atmosphere.

At this time, when I heard King Xuan talk about the squire of the Criminal Department, Fang raised his eyes slightly, and said: "Presumably, Your Highness should have heard about the incident where the **** and the princess met the squire of the Criminal Department chasing the common people on the street, and I was also curious, so I asked." ”

King Xuan nodded, frowning slightly, "Well, it's really strange for the squire of the Criminal Department to chase civilians on the street. ”

Qi Qing'er took advantage of King Xuan's low eyebrows to think, and her apricot eyes quickly glanced over King Xuan's face, "Your Highness said that another servant of the Criminal Department is named Cao Ke?" ”

"Well, he and Li Xuan are also servants of the Criminal Department, but Cao Xian, the secretary of the Criminal Department, focuses on Cao Ke in everything." King Xuan was thoughtful.

Qi Qing'er's tone was flat, and she said: "That's natural, they are all surnamed Cao, and when they are a family, they will be a little selfish." ”

King Xuan suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes lit up, this time he finally found a topic, even if it is better to introduce the criminal department than to have nothing to say. blinked, and said: "This is what Miss Huanyu doesn't know, that Shangshu Cao Xian, and the waiter Cao Ke, although they are both surnamed Cao, are not a family, and they are not even related by blood." ”
