From the time he came out of the Taishi Mansion until he got into the carriage and left Beichen Avenue, Mu Qiuhuang was still confused. I thought I was really participating in the poetry meeting, but I didn't expect that I was the only one from beginning to end, and after meeting Situ Luqi later, Mu Qiuhuang thought that Situ Buqi borrowed his daughter's name in order to hide people's eyes, but this time he didn't even see Situ Buqi's face...... "Could it be that he killed Peach Blossom?" That's why the beauty has an appointment? Mu Qiuhuang muttered, and then he smiled embarrassedly, and said in his heart that he was really a little narcissistic?

Where will he know? His guess is actually the closest to the truth.

Ever since Situ Buqi and Situ Luqi mentioned that they wanted to marry him to Mu Qiuhuang, Situ Luqi became more curious about Mu Qiuhuang, so he couldn't help but inquire about Mu Qiuhuang, but the news he got was all negative. But Miss Situ, who had already had a one-sided relationship with Mu Qiuhuang, naturally had doubts about this, but last time it was only a one-sided relationship, and Situ Luqi was not easy to make a decision, so she invited Mu Qiuhuang to the appointment again...... As for what men and women do not kiss, young ladies who have not left the cabinet should not meet strange men...... These red tapes are only favored by those medium-sized families who can't go up or down, because they want to use these "rules" to show their family status. A top family like Taishifu, who is really a top family like the Taishi Mansion, will not deliberately pay attention to these so-called "inheritance rules", because they are already standing at the top of the pyramid, and naturally there is no need to show off to others. What's more, the old lady Situ Changqing is not an ordinary person, and Situ Buqi is the same...... How can the children of such different parents be the same as ordinary women?

……

After Mu Qiuhuang left, Situ Luqi, who had just been talking and laughing with Mu Qiuhuang and not changing his face, seemed to have changed his appearance at this time, and his delicate melon seed face became red at this time. Situ Luqi took a heavy breath, patted his chest, and said to himself: "Am I really stupid and bold? If it spreads, it will be a loss of face for my father......"

Situ Luqi thought so, but she didn't know that Situ Buqi had been standing in the attic in the distance and looking here, taking in all the scenes of the two of them just meeting, and at this time, she was muttering with a smile on her face: "I don't want to say I want to, but in my heart it seems that I am quite willing?" ”

Ram Tian has been a little melancholy in the past few days, especially after the Beiyu Marquis Mansion returned his worship sticker, his melancholy has increased a point.

I thought that the last time I met the eldest lady of the Xiliehou Mansion was a good fate, but before he could enjoy this joy, the prince of the Xiliehou Mansion led the army to come to the door to ask the master of the crime that he had lost the eldest lady of their family. And through the attitude of the Xilie Marquis Mansion, the ram Tian Zhu can be regarded as clear, and the prince Ji Yan has no intention of reasoning when he comes to him. Don't say that you can't explain it by pretending to stutter now, even if you are sharp, you will definitely not be able to explain it clearly. So, Ram Tian reluctantly assigned another batch from the few subordinates he already had left, and went to help the Xiliehou Mansion find their eldest lady. Even so, when the prince Ji Yan still set up a banquet in Tianxiangju to invite the children of the princes, he did not give him an invitation...... Ram Tian smiled bitterly, and said to himself: "Originally, I wanted to climb the line of Miss Xiliehou's Mansion, but I never offended the prince of Xiliehou's Mansion because of this, this transaction is a little worthless?" ”

……

The ram sighed, and ordered the bewitching woman among them: "Go and help me back up the gifts, I will go to Tianxiangju for a banquet then." ”

"Yes." One of the seductive women answered and turned away.

Ram Tian glanced at the remaining bewitching women and smiled: "Do you think it's a shame that I didn't invite you?" ”

The bewitching woman said in a charming voice: "The son acts, and the slave does not dare to speculate. ”

"Don't dare? Does that mean you've thought about it? The ram whispered.

When the bewitching woman heard this, she was so frightened that her face turned pale and she knelt directly on the ground, and she didn't even dare to come out.

Ram Tian looked at the bewitching woman kneeling on the ground and smiled, and then said softly: "I have raised you two sisters for so many years, so that you serve me, not to make you afraid of me...... Come here, sit on my lap. ”

Hearing this, the bewitching woman hurriedly stood up, twisted her bewitching figure and walked over, and sat on the ram's lap, her arms around the ram's neck.

"Smile." The ram whispered, reaching into the bewitching woman's bust and grabbing it hard.

The bewitching woman suddenly took a pain, and her brows wrinkled subconsciously, but immediately forced a smile on her face, but that smile looked even more ugly than crying.

Ram Tian laughed when he saw the appearance of the bewitching woman, retracted his palm and lightly picked it on her chin, and said to himself: "It seems that I have been pretending to be a fool for too long?" Everyone but you two started treating me like a real fool......"

"The one who treats Childe as a fool is a real fool...... "The bewitching woman said flatteringly.

"You're getting better at talking." The ram said with a smirk.

The bewitching woman explained carelessly: "Slaves and maids are all heartfelt words. ”

"Good words from the bottom of my heart...... I just like to hear from the bottom of my heart. The ram spoke.

But he suddenly reached out and tore the clothes on the bewitching woman's chest and buried her head in it......

After a while, Ram Tian raised his head and said leisurely: "It doesn't matter if the prince of Xilie doesn't invite me, it is the prince of Beiyu who invites me, and I am also going to the banquet of the prince of Beiyu, at most I am borrowing his venue...... Do you still think I'm going uninvited? ”

"Slaves don't dare." The voluptuous woman explained in a whisper.

Ram Tian looked at the bewitching woman sitting in his arms, and suddenly a trace of disgust arose in his heart, pushed the enchanting woman away, and said angrily: "Only promise, you really look like a dog." ”

Ji Yan was sitting upright in the room at this time, and there was a chessboard in front of him, on which the black and white pieces were placed in a staggered manner at the intersection of lines. The seat opposite him was vacant, and he was staring at the chessboard with a frown, and a white piece was still between his slender fingers.

Seeing this scene, it is easy to mistake him for a game against someone else.

Finally, Ji Yan's brows soothed and the white piece fell.

However, immediately after he dropped the white piece, he picked up a black piece, stared at the chessboard and continued to frown.

It turned out that he was not playing against others, but against himself.

……

After a long time, Ji Yan stopped falling, looked at the chessboard and smiled slightly: "It's a draw again." ”

After laughing, Ji Yan carefully gathered every chess piece on the chessboard into the chess basket.

When he had done that, he clapped his hands gently.

A subordinate then pushed the door open.

"Miss, still no news?" Ji Yan asked.

"No, there is no new news coming back from Mr. Jianlu for the time being, and the people from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion are still looking outside." The subordinate replied respectfully.

Ji Yan sighed, and said helplessly: "Xue'er, this girl has been eccentric since she was a child, if she really wants to hide, it is really difficult to find, after all, she once spent a lot of effort to learn the art of disguise when she practiced in the Sword Casting Mansion...... That's it! Let's just let her play outside for a while while she's training......"

Ji Yan thought for a while and asked, "Have you ever sent out the invitation?" ”

The subordinate continued to reply: "Except for the ram Tian Zhu of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, the other princes' children have been delivered, and they have all replied that they will definitely be there at that time. ”

"Hmm." Ji Yan nodded and said, "The post for the ram Tian will be sent over an hour before the banquet starts." ”

"Wouldn't that be too rushed?" The subordinate was puzzled.

"No, it won't."

A smile appeared on the corner of Ji Yan's lips, and he said to himself: "If he is really not ready to go to the banquet because the post has not arrived, then he is not worthy of my attention...... What's more, the disappearance of the young lady has a lot to do with him, if you don't beat him at this time, I'm afraid that it will be even more difficult to control after he seizes power? Since he wants to ask for my help this time, he has to put himself in his own position in advance...... The Xiliehou Mansion can be traded, but it cannot be bought and sold at a loss. ”

"My subordinates understood." The subordinate answered, but then spoke again: "By the way, he also sent a greeting post to the prince of Beiyu." ”

"Oh?"

Ji Yan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked, "Then what is Mu Qiuhuang's reaction?" ”

"I heard that it was rejected." The subordinate replied truthfully.

Ji Yan smiled when he heard this, and said leisurely: "It's expected, but I can't complain about Mu Qiuhuang, if you want to complain, you can only complain that this ram Tian was too successful in dressing up in the past...... If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes and he had deliberately revealed it in front of me, I am afraid that I would not have taken him to heart. ”

Ji Yan thought for a moment and continued: "But the matter of the ram Tianzhu also reminded me, since he can pretend to be a fool for so many years, I am afraid that the incompetent image of the children of other princes may not be true...... You go and show me the itinerary of the children of the other princes after they came to the imperial capital this time, except for Ram Tianzhu and Mu Qiuhuang. ”

As soon as Ji Yan finished speaking, he suddenly remembered Mu Qiuhuang's dealings with the Haihun Marquis Mansion, so he added: "Except for Liu Yiyong of the Haihun Marquis Mansion. ”

"Yes."

……

"By the way, the Xiahou family still doesn't want me to go to pay respects?" Ji Yan asked suddenly.

"Well, Xiahou's family still refuses all visits behind closed doors, and the reply is still the same as usual, saying that it will not open until the end of the last day festival." The subordinate replied.

"How so?" Ji Yan muttered, with a puzzled look on her face.

"Alright, you can go down and do something!"

"Yes, the subordinates retired."

……

After the subordinate left, Ji Yan took out a few blank pieces of paper from the wooden box on the carriage before, and began to scribble and draw on them with a pen.
