Haitang didn't dare to answer, but Liu sneered: "There are more people who want my life, but until now, no one has been able to take it away, with her Qi Jia Yanxue, hum, it's not qualified enough." ”

Jin Gu whispered: "Master, the slave is only afraid that those who want to target the master are far more than Yan Guiren. ”

"You mean the Niu Hulu clan?" Speaking of this name, Liu's whole face has been deformed, from childhood to adulthood, she has lived for twenty years, and she has not lost so badly.

"Yes, the slave is worried that Yan Guiren is here to be instructed by Concubine Xi, if this is the case, if the queen mother does not interfere, I am afraid that the master will be very troublesome."

"It's just trouble, I can't kill you!" Liu Shi stood up with his hands on the table, gritted his teeth and said, "I swear, I will never die until I return the shame I have suffered!" ”

The afterglow of the setting sun was constantly swallowed up by the darkness, and Xu fiddled with the lifelike eagle kite in his hand, not knowing what to think.

I don't know how long it took, there was a sound of footsteps in my ears, and when I looked up, I saw her personal palace maid Zirong walking in quickly, she said with some expectation and some fear: "How is it, have you seen the second elder brother?" ”

Zirong shook his head and said: "Back to the master, the slave and maid have been outside for a long time, and they have never seen the second elder brother, presumably he will not come." ”

Hearing this, Xu Shi was disappointed and relieved at the same time, to be honest, she was actually a little afraid of seeing Hongshi, because Hongshi's eyes were too hot, which gave her the illusion that she would be burned and exhausted.

Seeing Xu speak, Zirong said again: "Master, do you want to continue to wait?" The dinner delivered by the imperial dining room was almost cold. ”

As soon as Xu was about to speak, the little eunuch who was in charge of guarding the courtyard rushed in and said, "Master Qiqi, the second elder brother is outside to see." ”

Hearing that Hongshi was coming, Xu's heart was full of mixed tastes, and he couldn't say what it tasted like, so he said after a while: "Please invite the second elder brother to come in." ”

"Huh!" Soon after the little eunuch retreated, Hongshi's figure appeared in Xu's sight, and the moment he saw him, Xu suddenly remembered the scene when the two fingers did not touch very much yesterday, and his beautiful cheeks were slightly red.

Hongshi followed the little eunuch into the house and bowed to the Xu family, "I've seen Xu Chang here." ”

Xu Shi said a little stiffly: "Second elder brother doesn't have to be polite, I didn't expect you to come over at this time, and I thought you couldn't come because of something." ”

Hongshi glanced at Xu Shi deeply and said: "Before, the Criminal Department had some urgent matters to deal with, and it was busy until late, so Xu Chang waited for a long time, but it was really not Hongshi." ”

In fact, there is nothing wrong with the criminal department, he is struggling to know whether to come or not, he knows very well that the more he contacts with Xu, the deeper he will fall, but he can't control himself not to miss, in the confrontation between emotion and reason, he is in pain, and what is even more painful is that he finds that he can't suppress his emotions, so he ...... He appeared here.

Xu was about to hand him the kite that had been made to him, and his hand was halfway out, when he suddenly remembered the scene of his hands touching yesterday, and that feeling of palpitations, he hurriedly handed the kite to Zirong and asked her to hand it to Hongshi, "Second elder brother, can you still see this kite?" ”

Hongshi suppressed his thoughts, carefully glanced at the kite, and praised: "Whether it is workmanship or painting, it is more delicate than yesterday's one, I believe Yonglin will like it very much." It was the butterfly kite from yesterday, and he couldn't put it down after he got it. ”

"If you like it, it's fine." After saying these four words, Xu didn't know what to say, and stood there awkwardly, but Hongshi said first: "Since you have already taken the kite, don't bother Chang here too much, and say goodbye." ”

Hearing this, Xu hurriedly said: "Second elder brother go slowly, Zirong, send the second elder brother out." ”

"No need." After that, Hongshi left with an eagle kite, and when he passed by the yard, he was seen by the Xu family who just came out, strange, what is the second elder brother doing here?

With this question, she came to the house where the Xu family was and said tentatively: "What is the second elder brother doing here?" ”

Seeing her ask, Xu didn't think much about it, and said straightforwardly: "I met the second elder brother yesterday, and he asked me to make a kite for Brother Lin, and he came to take the kite away just now." ”

"I see." After Xu's answer, Xu said: "My sister slept all afternoon, and she must be hungry, so she happened to go over to eat together." ”

It was also Xu's luck, although she was demoted to an official woman, she still stayed in Yikun Palace, and Xu was a pure and kind person, thinking of a friendship in the palace, and did not treat her harshly, nor did she do the work of serving tea and water, and even allocated one of her palace people to her.

It stands to reason that Xu should be grateful to Xu, but in fact, Xu is full of jealousy, it should be said that this jealousy has existed since he entered the palace, Xu and Qi Jiashi were both named Chang Presence, only she was named a promise, and she bowed their heads, and then Qi Jia's and Xu's got the green eyes of Xi Guifei and Concubine Jin respectively, but she was not cared for, and in desperation, she could only please the queen in every possible way, in order to get the queen's support, and be able to become the emperor's pillow. As a result, before she could wait for this day, she was dragged down by the Liu family, and she changed from a promise to a more humble official woman.

Therefore, even if the Xu family did not instruct her to do anything, or even treat her like a sister, it could not eliminate her jealousy of the Xu family. Perhaps, jealousy is really human nature, especially in this house.

Xu suppressed the jealousy in his heart and said, "No need, I'm not hungry for the time being." ”

Xu Shi thought for a while and said, "Then I'll ask someone to keep a copy and send it to my sister's room later, but in this way, the food will be cold." ”

Xu Shi glanced at her and said nonchalantly: "If it's cold, just take it to the imperial dining room to heat it again, and then let them prepare a new one, unless you want me to eat cold rice and cold dishes." ”

Seeing that he was a little angry, Xu Shi hurriedly said: "Sister, don't misunderstand, I didn't mean this, since that's the case, when does my sister want to eat, tell me, I'll let the imperial dining room be made for my sister, is this good?" ”

"Whatever you want." Throwing down these words, Xu Shi turned around and left, not at all worried that such an unkind speech would displease Xu, because she had already settled on Xu.

After the Xu family left, Zirong, who saw all this in his eyes, said angrily: "Master, why are you so polite to the Xu family, she is just an official woman now, you are already extra kind if you don't let her work, and she is waiting for delicious food and drink, if people who don't know see it, they still think that she is the master of this Changyue Residence!" ”

Xu smiled indifferently: "It's already pitiful that she was demoted to an official woman, so why make it worse, and the palace I entered with her has some sisterhood, so try to help if you can." ”
