Eh, Xia Cicada took the chicken leg on the chopsticks to his eyes and looked at it carefully. It doesn't seem to be a chicken leg. There is no such less meat in the chicken thighs. But mandarin ducks. Didn't the ancients like mandarin ducks very much, as a **** thing? Why is the lady of Wenfu so perverted. actually ate mandarin duck legs. Tsk, it's really different.

Xia Chan finished reading the mandarin duck legs on the chopsticks and put them back on the plate. Although she still craves to eat. But when I think about it, I was eaten by myself. I feel quite uncomfortable in my heart.

"Caiying, do you know what the master and his wife are looking for your second young master?"

Chaeyoung looked at Xia Chan and shook her head. "I don't know. However, listening to the housekeeper, the lord's face will not be very good. ”

It's not good, it won't be because his concubine ate his beloved wife's mandarin duck legs. Tsk, if that's the case, it's really stingy.

But if you know that this mandarin duck leg is not Mrs. Wen's breakfast every morning, but only once a month, will you smile even brighter.

The other side

Wen Zhongnan returned to Wenfu all the way, and came over to have breakfast with Xia Cicada without having time to wash. This will be called to the front hall before breakfast is finished. A tired face.

As soon as he entered the hall, Old Man Wen saw Wen Zhongnan's exhaustion, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. The words that were originally reprimanded came to the lips, but the words that came out turned into concern.

"Nan'er, why don't you take a break when you come back. Look at your tired face. I'm afraid I haven't had a break these days. ”

Wen Zhongnan walked up to Old Man Wen and stood. The face was cold. looked at the old man Wen and said with a mocking face

"The boy has just come home. I had planned to finish breakfast and wash up before visiting my father. Unexpectedly, the father was more anxious than the child, and the child actually didn't want to stand in front of the father so much. But the father's order is not disobeyed. ”

Old Man Wen listened to Zhong Nan's words, and his face was red and white. The meaning of Wen Zhong Nan's words was very obvious, the reason why he appeared here with such a face was because of his indifference and impatience. Smell the old man coughing a few times. Said with a wave of his hand

"Nan'er, it's my father who didn't think it through. You can go back to dinner first. Take a good rest after washing. Come back to my dad in the afternoon. ”

Mrs. Wen sat aside, not knowing how things had become like this. What about the promise of the lord just now. Why did this rebel appear as soon as the old man refused to blame him. Angry with her. A haze flashed across Mrs. Wen's delicate face. raised his head and glared at Wen Zhong Nan fiercely. Wen Zhongnan glanced up at Mrs. Wen and chuckled. Thanking Old Man Wen, he turned around and strode out of the front hall.

After Wen Zhongnan left, Mrs. Wen was not happy, so she grabbed Old Man Wen's sleeve and began to be coquettish.

"Master, how did you just promise the concubine. The concubine hasn't had breakfast yet. Why doesn't the master care about the concubine at all? Hmph, you want me to see it. In your heart, it is still your son who matters. The four of us are not as good as him. ”

Old Man Wen turned his head, reached out and patted Mrs. Wen's hand, and said with a smile, "Look at what Mrs. said." Didn't I already tell someone to buy that mandarin duck leg for you? Before you buy it, you have to eat some pastries and pad them. Nan'er has not been easy these years. This time, I was ordered by my little sister to go out on errands. Don't think I don't know what you did to Tsuichiwon. I just don't want to break it. If you hadn't gone too far, Nan'er wouldn't have done this. ”

Mrs. Wen's heart was shocked, and her face darkened a little. Looking up at Old Man Wen with some displeasure

"Sir. What do you mean by that? Are you accusing me of abusing my concubine? Master, the concubine is wronged. The reason why the concubine did this is also a good heart. Nan'er, he often goes out to run errands for several months. There is no master in a courtyard, and the concubine is worried about the lawlessness of those subordinates, so she asks the housekeeper to watch more. How did you become a concubine when you came to the master, you have ulterior motives. Mrs. Wen said that she glared at Old Man Wen with an aggrieved face, "A few days ago, a maid in Nan'er's yard talked back to the concubine, and you didn't know about it. In the end, the concubine didn't swallow the grievances. The concubine didn't say a word in front of you, Nan'er is not good. ”

"Okay, well, I know that Madame understands the most righteous things. The most virtuous lady. Since you can graciously stop pursuing the things of the past few days. Then today's thing is that you are generous once. Don't pursue it anymore, okay. Nan'er had just returned from outside. If I reprimand him immediately, it would not be reasonable or reasonable. ”

Mrs. Wen's heart was full of anger, but she also knew that when the master said this, he had already made a decision in his heart. Whether she agrees or not, the old man will not be any better. If she persists, she is not generous enough, not virtuous enough. So today's pause, she is determined. Mrs. Wen looked unwilling, a reluctant smile appeared on her face, and she nodded at Old Man Wen.

"Okay, listen to the master. But next time, the master can't be so partial. Otherwise, even if the old man is still there. The concubine is gone. ”

"Okay, good, don't take an example. The next is not an example. ”

Palace

"Wen Zhongnan had already returned to the capital last night, but he only returned to Wenfu this morning. Last night, he stayed in Yihong Courtyard all night and didn't come out. Until this morning. Zhao Qi clasped his hands in front of his chest, looking thoughtful.

Baili Chenxi stood in front of the window and looked at the weather outside the window, and said coldly, "Have you found someone to check that Qinglou?" ”

"I've already found someone to check. No news, though. Zhao Qi's hand tapped on the table, one at a time. His face fell into contemplation, and after half a sound, Zhao Qi raised his head and continued, "Do you think he is the boss behind that Qinglou?" ”

Baili Chenxi glanced back at Zhao Qi and nodded, "There is indeed such a possibility." Although Wen Zhongnan is the concubine of the Wen family. But I heard that he was not valued less than the eldest son. The education he received since he was a child was also the treatment of a son-in-law. And he knows how to lay out and calculate better than Wen Zhongyuan. Hearing that he had a son was like a tiger. ”

Zhao Qi also nodded in agreement. "Having said that, he is a concubine after all. Even if he is carefully cultivated, he will eventually have the title of a concubine. And I'm afraid I won't be able to pick it off in this life. With his strength and status in the Wen family over the years, do you think he is willing? ”

Baili Chenxi's face crossed a touch of calculation. "It's really unwilling, but we've met him a few times before. He's not an easy person to control. I'm afraid it's hard to appease. ”

"People have weaknesses, and he has them."

"Who?" Baili Chenxi looked up at Zhao Qi. Zhao Qi looked mysterious, glanced at Baili Chenxi, and continued: "This person, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also knows. Xia girl from Xialiang Village. ”

"Cicadas?" A touch of surprise appeared on Bai Li Chenxi's face, and his heart suddenly had mixed feelings. How long has it been. He didn't listen to the spies' report anymore, and he didn't hear anything about him from Zhao Qi's mouth anymore. I thought it had been a long time. The recent busyness made him deliberately choose not to think about it. But now, it is Zhao Qi's words. He began to fall into longing and endless uneasiness

As early as when he was in Qingyang County, he had suspected Wen Zhongnan's intentions for cicadas, and today it seems that this is indeed the case. However, do people like Wen Zhongnan really have feelings? Will he really be single-minded about cicadas? In fact, compared with Wen Zhongnan. He felt that Murong Ye was more suitable for cicadas.

Baili Chenxi put away the gaffe on his face, took a deep breath, and turned to look out the window.

"Where are the cicadas now. Has she already come to the capital? "Zhao Qi told him before that Xia Chan also came to the capital shortly after they left, and now count the days. It's time to arrive. She now lives in the Murong Mansion. Listening to Zhao Qi's meaning, it seems that he is involved with Wen Zhongnan again.

Zhao Qi walked to the side of Bailichen Creek from the side, and after being silent for a while, he said, "She came to the capital half a month ago, and now she is in Wen's house." ”

"Wen family? Shouldn't she be in Murong Mansion? How did you live in the Wen family? No, the Wen family is equivalent to a wolf in the mouth of a tiger for her, and she will be in danger. I'm going to get her out now. Baili Chenxi's face was full of worry, and he turned around and was about to walk out, but Zhao Qi took the first step and stopped Baili Chenxi.

"His Royal Highness the Prince. If you want to go over, maybe Miss Xia will be more dangerous. Besides, she is now in Wenfu, which is actually not a bad thing. Hearing that Zhong Nan was there, no one could touch her. ”

Baili Chenxi opened his mouth, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth. What else could he say. Zhao Qi was right. With his current situation, she would be more dangerous in front of him.

Baili Chenxi turned to look out the window, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised a mocking smile. His face was full of loss. "In Qingyang County, I watched her being assassinated again and again, calculating. At the time, I wondered if it was because I wasn't strong enough. It can't protect her yet. So, I tried to make myself strong and try to be worthy of that position. Now, in the eyes of outsiders. I'm already an unspeakably expensive prince. But why can't I give her the stability and happiness she wants? Kai, do you say that my current choice is right or wrong. What's the point of this qiē I'm fighting for? ”

Zhao Qi was shocked, and looked up at Baili Chenxi with a worried face. "Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't be impatient. I believe that Miss Xia, she will definitely be able to understand the painstaking efforts of His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

"Painstaking." Baili Chenxi sneered and looked back at Zhao Qi. A sad face. "His husband is now going to marry another woman and spend his life together. In addition to her smile and blessing, what else do you let her do. Kai, I suddenly felt that I was so cruel. I was the one who killed her parents and brothers. Later, he killed her. I know what she minds. But I'm still rubbing salt in her wounds. You say I'm not the worst man in the world. ”

"Prince ......"

Baili Chenxi interrupted Zhao Qi's words, waved his hand, and motioned for Zhao Qi to retreat, Zhao Qi stopped talking with a face, and finally didn't say anything, turned around and strode out of the room.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs to calm down now, so let's give him some time to calm down. Today's form is imminent, it is ready to be sent on the string, and they have no choice.

Zhao Qi walked out of the room and stood under the splendid palace. There was a touch of desolation and loneliness in my heart. The corners of Zhao Qi's mouth slowly raised a smile, and he laughed secretly, It seems that I should also marry a wife and have children.

In the capital in November, the prosperity is gone, the leaves are withering, and it looks sad and lonely at a glance.

Single Moon Temple

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, it's time for lunch. Whether you are eating in the study or going to the hall. The eunuch stood at the door of the study and asked cautiously

Half a ring passed, and there was still silence in the room. The eunuch raised his hand again and knocked on the door with some confusion. There was still no response from inside. The eunuch was puzzled. The prince obviously didn't leave the study this morning, but he should be in the study now. How no one.

The eunuch reached out and pushed open the door of the study, and slowly put his head into the room. Look around.

The eunuch gasped when he saw the picture of the study. This, is this being robbed? It wasn't like that when he came in the morning. Why did their prince make the huge study like this one morning?

"Prince, it's time for lunch." The eunuch cautiously walked in front of Baili Chenxi, but he was terrified in his heart.

Baili Chenxi raised his head with a gloomy face, glanced at the eunuch, and roared coldly

"Get out. Get out. ”

The eunuch trembled with fright, nodded tremblingly, turned his head and ran outside.

Wenfu

"Erya, what are you doing here?"

After Wen Zhongnan washed up, he walked out of the room refreshed, and as soon as he went out, he saw Xia Cicada sitting on the steps counting ants.

After being busy for half a month, I finally came back. Seeing this scene, Wen Zhongnan felt a touch of warmth in his heart for some reason. It seems that he has indeed reached the age when it is time to get married. If in the future, he will come home every day there will be a girl like this sitting on the steps, willing to wait for him even if she is bored. He will feel that life is actually good.

Xia Chan heard the voice, raised his head and smiled at Wen Zhong Nan.

"You're done. Come and see, there's a stupid ant here, I've helped it get back, but it still can't find its home. Hey, how can it be so stupid. Xia Chan said with a tangled face. But in Wen Zhongnan's eyes, he felt that the summer cicada at this time was very cute.

Wen Zhongnan walked over and sat next to Xia Chan, looked down at the stupid ant in Xia Chan's mouth, and looked carefully for a long time but didn't see the home Xia Chan said. Shaking his head amusefully, he looked at Xia Chan

"Erya, where is its home. Let's send it home together. ”

Xia Chan looked up at Wen Zhongnan and shook his head. "We can't help it, it has to learn to go home."

"But it's still small, and it will grow up slowly. Let's be patient. ”

"Wen Zhongnan, where did you see that it hasn't grown up yet. Aren't all ants like this? ”

Wen Zhongnan stretched out his hand and patted Xia Chan's head, chuckled and said, "It varies from person to person." In my eyes, it just hasn't grown yet. ”|

Xia Chan pursed her lips and scolded Wen Zhongnan with a smile, "Crooked." However, this explanation also works. (To be continued.) )
