The maid soon came with crystal clear fruit wine and wine glasses. Xiao Qiyun picked up the wine glass and personally poured wine for Zhao Lingshu: "This is the fruit wine from the Western Regions that His Royal Highness treasures, you can taste it." ”

When the fruit wine was poured out, the aroma was overflowing, and Zhao Lingshu couldn't help but taste it when he smelled the fragrance: "The sweetness and sourness are moderate, the entrance is soft, it is indeed a good wine." ”

Seeing that Zhao Lingshu was obsessed with tasting fruit wine, Xiao Qiyun took this opportunity to sit in front of Zhao Lingshu and said, "Lingshu, in fact, you are the person I have liked since I was a child. ”

Hearing this sudden confession, Zhao Lingshu didn't hold the wine glass steadily, and fell directly to the ground, and Xiao Qiyun quickly caught it, otherwise this pair of glass cups would be missing.

"Like me? Hasn't it always been Chulanxi? What kind of moth is this Xiao Qiyun doing? Zhao Lingshu's mind was in a mess, and she quickly recalled in her mind what her grandmother had said to her last time, and thought of the recent actions of Xiao Qiming, Xiao Qisheng, and Xiao Qiyun competing for the throne, and probably knew in her heart: "This Xiao Qiyun probably wants to successfully ascend to the throne with the power of the Weiguo family behind him, right?" ”

Knowing this fact, Zhao Lingshu quickly calmed down.

"Lingshu, I really like you, you see that the two of us have so many common hobbies, and we have the same views on those piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, we must be the most compatible people." Seeing that Zhao Lingshu didn't speak, Xiao Qiyun continued to speak, wanting to impress him.

"My opinions are nothing but bad news, and Your Highness is quick to think and need not be like a corpse. Lingshu didn't think much about His Highness, and asked His Highness to take back the word like. Zhao Lingshu bluntly rejected Xiao Qiyun.

Hearing Zhao Lingshu's euphemistic but firm refusal, Xiao Qiyun became excited: "You don't accept my confession, is it because of the third brother?" Could it be that you and the third brother have really made a private decision for life? ”

"The corpse just rejected His Highness, why would His Highness insult the corpse with such words as a private life?" Zhao Lingshu stopped talking and saluted Xiao Qiyun: "Lingshu will leave first, and the Third Highness will take care." ”

After speaking, Zhao Lingshu turned around and left directly.

Xiao Qiyun, who was rejected twice, didn't stop her anymore, just stood in place. What he said just now was really in a hurry, an unmarried aristocratic lady of a family, it is really not a good thing to make a private life with others.

Xiao Qiyun looked at the back of Zhao Lingshu who was far away, and there was too much unwillingness in his heart.

"Zhao Lingshu, His Highness doesn't believe that he can't get you!"

Xiao Qiyun always thought that Zhao Lingshu's disagreement with his confession had something to do with Xiao Qiming, so he asked his henchmen to investigate the relationship between Xiao Qiming and Zhao Lingshu.

Xiao Qiyun, who returned to his house, remembered that once in the pavilion, Zhao Lingshu painted him a picture of a little girl with a red pendant.

For so many years, Xiao Qiyun has always thought that the five-year-old girl was Chu Lanxi, and he helped him when he was bullied by the palace maid, so Xiao Qiming has always had a love for Chu Lanxi since he was a child. This matter is a secret in his heart, and the queen mother only knows that he likes Chu Lanxi, but she doesn't know why.

"But how could Zhao Lingshu know?" Xiao Qiyun took out the red pendant and rubbed it carefully in the palm of his hand.

After thinking about it, the doubts in Xiao Qiyun's heart became bigger and bigger, and he didn't figure it out for a long time. So he sent someone to investigate the incident back then.

A few days later, the secret guard who investigated the red pendant returned.

"Your Highness, the little girl who met you in the Imperial Garden back then was indeed Miss Zhao Lingshu, and Miss Chu Lanxi just happened to pass by there." The Dark Guard reported.

"Then why did the maid say that I met Chu Lanxi when I went to ask the maid?" Xiao Qiyun asked with a frown.

"Xu is that maid only saw Miss Chu Lanxi at first, and then she answered that it was Miss Chu." The dark guard lowered his head and explained this oolong.

"It turns out that His Royal Highness has liked the wrong person for more than ten years." Xiao Qiyun leaned weakly on the back of the chair behind him, feeling a little happy and relieved and a little sad in his heart, "But this can also explain why His Royal Highness tried every possible way, and Chu Lanxi ignored His Highness." ”

Zhao Lingshu, who left Bainiao Lake, did not return to his house immediately, but went to Juewei Building first.

After entering the Juewei Building, he immediately greeted the second shopkeeper: "This young lady is please!" How many of you? ”

"One." Zhao Lingshu replied, if you don't count the maids beside her.

Zhao Lingshu casually found a seat in the lobby and sat down, and before it was hot, the shopkeeper came over and said, "Miss Zhao, our boss wants to see you." ”

Zhao Lingshu was surprised when he heard this: "Boss Juewei Building? It can't be some prince again, right? ”

Zhao Lingshu followed the shopkeeper upstairs with suspicion, and the shopkeeper took Zhao Lingshu to the door of the Tianzihao room and left first.

Zhao Lingshu settled down, pushed open the door of the Tianzi room, and was surprised but unsurprisingly saw that the person sitting inside was Xiao Qisheng.

"Coming? Close the door and sit down. Xiao Qisheng greeted Zhao Lingshu directly and casually.

Zhao Lingshu did all the same, and came to the table: "This Juewei Building turned out to be His Highness?" It's really strange, the Qin Xianglou opposite is the third highness, do you princes each have a restaurant? ”

"Sit across from His Highness." Xiao Qisheng did not answer Zhao Lingshu's little complaints.

After Zhao Lingshu sat down, Xiao Qisheng suddenly leaned his face over: "Miss Zhao is so obedient, aren't you afraid that Xiao will do something bad?" ”

A handsome face suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Lingshu, and those overly beautiful blue eyes were staring straight at her, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Your Highness Six, where are you talking about. We are partners, how could His Highness the Sixth abandon the overall situation and attack such a small flag as me? Zhao Lingshu drank tea unhurriedly, not worried that Xiao Qisheng would plot against him.

Hearing Zhao Lingshu's words, Xiao Qisheng smiled and returned to his original cynical appearance.

All the things that happened between Xiao Qiyun and Zhao Lingshu on the flower boat today have already been reported to Xiao Qisheng. Hearing Xiao Qiyun's confession to Zhao Lingshu, Xiao Qisheng was not happy in his heart, and he had some strange emotions. Although Zhao Lingshu rejected Xiao Qiyun, his heart was still not very comfortable.

I thought that Xiao Qisheng was going to find Zhao Lingshu, but I didn't expect Zhao Lingshu to come to Juewei Building by himself. Xiao Qisheng asked the shopkeeper to invite him up, and by the way, he revealed that he was the owner of Juewei Building.

I thought that Xiao Qisheng, who was looking for him with great fanfare, must have something important to discuss, but after waiting for a long time, Xiao Qisheng didn't see him say anything.

Zhao Lingshu, who couldn't wait, asked directly: "His Royal Highness the Sixth is looking for Lingshu to come up, but what's the matter?" ”

Where is Xiao Qisheng having anything important to discuss with Zhao Lingshu? It's just that I know that Zhao Lingshu was confessed by Xiao Qiyun, and I think that I have known Zhao Lingshu for so long, and the two haven't had a good chat. I invited Zhao Lingshu up on this day, just to chat with Zhao Lingshu.

"Nothing matters. Your Highness just wants to talk to you. Xiao Qisheng said sincerely.

Zhao Lingshu frowned and said, "Your Highness, is this boring?" There are so many girls in Hualou, why don't Your Highness go to them? After speaking, Zhao Lingshu began to drink tea by himself.

"This tea is my appetite." Zhao Lingshu, who took a sip of tea, remembered the tea he drank on the flower boat, and couldn't help but take a few more sips.

Xiao Qisheng looked at Zhao Lingshu, who had been drinking tea and ignored him, so he firmly wanted to talk to Zhao Lingshu.

"His Royal Highness is going to expand the Juewei Building a bit, what does the Lingshu think?"

"This is His Highness's property, His Highness will decide."

"Then I want to take the opportunity to buy Qin Xianglou, what does Lingshu think?"

"Qin Xiang Tower is the property of the Third Highness, if His Royal Highness wants to buy Qin Xiang Tower, it will inevitably attract the attention of the Third Highness, and at that time, the matter that His Royal Highness is the owner of Juewei Building will also be revealed."

"What is the relationship between you and Xiao Qiyun?" Xiao Qisheng asked slowly.

"It turns out that His Highness has so much foreshadowing in front of him, just to ask this one question?" Zhao Lingshu was laughed at by Xiao Qisheng.

"Answer Your Highness." Xiao Qisheng's tone couldn't help but be a little more strong.

"Lingshu has nothing to do with the Fifth Highness, he is not a friend, and he doesn't have any love between men and women." Zhao Lingshu's answer was a little angry.

Xiao Qisheng felt a lot more relieved after listening to Zhao Lingshu's words, he sat up straight and said, "Little Er, bring the best dishes up." ”

The shopkeeper quickly brought up a large table of delicacies, Zhao Lingshu thought that anyway, this Juewei Building was also Xiao Qisheng's industry, so if he didn't eat it for nothing, he would not be polite, and he picked up the chopsticks and stretched out towards the most expensive dish.

Zhao Lingshu quickly ate enough, and just wanted to leave holding the maid's hand, but was stopped by Xiao Qisheng: "Lingshu, don't have too close contact with Xiao Qiyun in the future, don't have a stiff relationship with him, try to maintain a friendly relationship." You're so smart you must know what to do. ”

"The corpse will do it." After Zhao Lingshu finished speaking, he left the Tianzi room without looking back, and went back to the house directly.

Zhao Lingshu, who returned to the Lingshu Pavilion, thought about what Xiao Qisheng said at the end, spread out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the desk, and wrote a letter to Xiao Qiyun, which roughly meant that he had already forgotten too much about what happened when he was a child, and even if he remembered, he was not very impressed. So Xiao Qiyun's sudden show of love for her today surprised her very much, and she couldn't accept it. She is only willing to be a pair of confidants with Xiao Qiyun, talking about poetry, calligraphy and painting to life philosophy. Those men and women love each other, and they don't think about it at all.

After writing it, Zhao Lingshu ordered someone to send it to Xiao Qiyun's house quickly.

Xiao Qiyun, who saw Zhao Lingshu's letter, thought that Zhao Lingshu had changed his mind, but when he opened the letter, he saw this. Although Zhao Lingshu still didn't agree to him, the depressed mood in his heart because he liked the wrong person for more than ten years was much better.

Xiao Qiyun held the letter and secretly made up his mind in his heart: "Zhao Lingshu, His Royal Highness will definitely make you fall in love with me." ”

Cui Guifei in the palace was drinking tea while listening to her henchmen report and monitoring Xiao Qiyun's movements, and when she heard the news that Xiao Qiyun fell in love with Zhao Lingshu and confessed to him but was rejected, she couldn't help but be surprised: "This kid, what kind of stimulation did he have, why did his mind suddenly shift from the goblin in Chu Lanxi to Zhao Lingshu?" ”

"Quick, call the Fifth Highness over." Cui Guifei commanded.

When Xiao Qiyun entered the palace and arrived at Cui Guifei's bedroom, Cui Guifei was already impatient.

"I heard that your confession to Zhao Lingshu was rejected today?" As soon as Xiao Qiyun sat down, Cui Guifei couldn't wait to ask.
