After pretending to be a bird, he opened the door and let the man outside.

"Niangniang, the slave is guarding Niangniang outside."

The little eunuch said in a low voice, and did not go in.

The gentle man only nodded slightly, and then looked at His Royal Highness the Prince.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"No need to be polite."

Jun Yurun looked at the woman in front of him for a long time, some didn't know what kind of status Qi Lianmo's person played by his father's side, if he said that he was a favorite concubine, he was actually not qualified enough, but if he said that he didn't care, it didn't look like that, after all, although his father didn't love this woman, he was also responsive, or rather, this woman was his father's interpretation flower.

"Then the palace said directly, has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thought about the location of the Chongde Palace?"

What surprised him was that this person who seemed to be soft and weak on the surface, and who was simple-minded and understanding, was shocked when he opened his mouth.

"Why do you say this, His Royal Highness is already the crown prince, wouldn't it be easy to get that position, it's a certainty!"

"If Your Highness really thinks it's a sure thing, you won't come to meet with this palace."

Concubine Mei looked indifferent, but she was confident.

"You're smart."

Indeed, Jun Yurun is not sure, among these many princes, he can ignore the others, but there is also the hypocrisy of the second prince, the treacherous one of the seventh prince, and the fourth prince, although it seems that it is not leaky, but it should not be underestimated.

"His Royal Highness Xie praised, in the eyes of this palace, His Royal Highness is the wisest choice to come this time."

Concubine Mei smiled indifferently and accepted his praise.

"Oh? Why? ”

Jun Yurun was a little suspicious of how Concubine Mei had the confidence to say it with such a big tone.

"Now, please Your Highness take a quiet look to prove whether what this announcement says is true or false."

Concubine Mei did not explain directly.

"Then His Royal Highness will wait and see, in this case, what does Concubine Mei want to discuss with His Royal Highness?"

Jun Yurun saw that Concubine Mei intended to sell Guanzi, so she didn't ask anymore.

"If this palace remembers well, next month will be the crown prince's birthday."

"Yes."

"If it is arranged by the emperor, it will inevitably be held in the Minghua Palace, and at that time, the palace hopes that this production banquet will be held in His Royal Highness's Prince's Mansion."

Concubine Mei looked at the person in front of her fixedly, and for some reason the master designated him.

"Why do you have to be in the Prince's Mansion?"

"Naturally, we want to give some people some opportunities to start, if we don't take the bait, how can we close the net?"

The woman covered her mouth and chuckled, and in an instant it seemed to be bewitching and moving, Jun Yurun somewhat knew why Qi Lianmo would choose such a woman by his father's side.

"Then His Highness is waiting to watch the play!"

"Naturally, I won't disappoint Your Highness!"

Luo Ziqi, who followed Qi Lianmo quietly to the palace and came back, was looking at a book of poems in the study at this time.

When she saw the annotations written with a vermilion brush suddenly appear on the yellowed pages, her fingers seemed to move uncontrollably towards the small red characters, until her fingertips completely touched the words, but suddenly she seemed to be scalded by something, and withdrew her hand faster than she had just moved.

Who wrote this red annotation that has already been dried for a long time, why is it so familiar, but it is so unfamiliar, why is there a white shadow suddenly passing by in my impression?

She seemed to remember that the man was sitting on a red square table with a red candle lit on it, and the calm and indifferent look on which he wrote the words with a brush dipped in cinnabar, mixed with a little caution.

"Xi'er..."

Thinking of this, he only felt some pain in his mind, and his fingers unconsciously loosened, and the whole book slid down his white fingertips and gently slapped on the stone slab under his feet.

"Miss, there is a person who looks like a little guy from outside Fang Caiyuan, and he said..."

Just when she lowered her head and looked at the book of poems at her feet with some signs of curiosity, her white fingers curled up slightly, there was a sudden sound of gentle knocking outside the door of the study, followed by A-Ning's voice, and the sound of pushing the door open slightly.

As soon as he entered the door, A-Ning saw that his young lady seemed to have just come back to her senses, and there was still some kind of indescribable blankness in her eyes, she sighed helplessly, lowered her voice and picked up the book of poems, and called:

"Miss?"

"Nothing." Hearing her voice, Luo Ziqi seemed to suddenly come back to his senses, his face suddenly changed, and his expression returned to his previous lightness, and after watching A-Ning put the poetry book back on the table, he asked, "The person who looks like a little girl?" What was said? ”

Ah Ning didn't dare to slack off when he heard this, and hurriedly replied in a low voice: "Miss Hui, that little guy is in Miss Liu's yard, please go and have tea." ”

"Liu Hua'er asked me to go to tea alone?" Luo Ziqi didn't expect it to be this matter, his eyes widened a little strangely, his white fingers lightly knocked on the armrest a few times, and the smile on his lips was a little more thoughtful: "You heard it right, did he really say that?" ”

A Ning nodded, and replied with a serious expression: "Miss Hui, the slave didn't hear it wrong, it's true!" ”

That's really strange, Luo Ziqi heard A-Ning's affirmation in front of him, his fingers paused slightly, his eyes turned to the window, and he lowered his voice and said:

"This Liu Hua'er has always dealt with me, and I don't care about her, I had a bad idea with Concubine Yu a few days ago, it stands to reason that it should be in a month later, how long is it, and I can't bear it?"

Before he finished speaking, Luo Ziqi suddenly fell into a strange silence, and A-Ning couldn't help but lean over with some curiosity, lowered his voice, and asked, "Miss?"

Luo Ziqi closed his eyes, the strangeness in his words had disappeared at this time, as if he had suddenly figured out some joint, with a faint smile on his lips, he said to A-Ning who was questioning in front of him: "It's okay, you went back to her, saying that I would definitely go." ”

When Ah Ning reported the report, he thought that his young lady would not go, but when he suddenly heard Luo Ziqi's words, his face suddenly changed, and he said continuously: "Miss, you really want to go, but Miss Liu has never dealt with you, so there must be some conspiracy..."

"It's okay, since this is in Luofu, she doesn't dare to do anything to me, even if I go alone, there will be no danger, you don't have to worry."

Luo Ziqi stood up and gently tidied up the hem of his clothes, a playful smile on his lips.

"Besides, since she has sent someone to invite me, if I don't go, won't I tell him from the beginning that I have already been very close to her, and I am afraid that she will harm me by inviting me?"

A-Ning, hearing her say this, knew that her young lady was definitely going to go, and she couldn't think of any other reason to stop her from going for a while, so she had to respond in a low voice: "Yes, Miss." ”

Half an hour later, Luo Ziqi was still dressed in white, with only a jade-white hairpin tied on his head, and he slowly walked to the Liuhua courtyard with A Ning behind him, and when he was about to step into the door, the little guy who had been guarding the door suddenly walked in front of Luo Ziqi, smiled and gave Luo Ziqi a gesture, and said softly:

"Miss, our county lord is waiting for you alone in the pavilion at this time."

When Luo Ziqi heard this, the smile on his lips couldn't help but be a little sharp, knowing that this was Liu Hua'er telling himself that he was going to the appointment alone, so he was a little more vigilant in his heart, but he still turned sideways and said, "In that case, A-Ning..."

A-Ning also heard the meaning of the little guy's words, and for a while a look of worry couldn't help but appear on his face, and he hurriedly took a step forward, and then replied in a low voice: "Yes, Miss, you..."

"Since the county lord is alone in the pavilion ready to see me, I will go in alone!"

Luo Ziqi secretly glanced at her, with a thoughtful smile on his lips, and commanded word by word:

"You're just waiting outside, and at dinner, if Miss and I haven't come back yet, remember to go in and look for me, you know?"

Knowing that this was Luo Ziqi's hint to himself, Ah Ning's eyes suddenly flashed, and he lowered his voice and replied, "Follow Miss's orders!" ”

After giving instructions to A-Ning, Luo Ziqi glanced at the little guy who had just spoken, raised his feet and walked to the long corridor, and in less than half a cup of tea, he saw the green cedar in the pavilion standing quietly in the waterhole not far away.

Seeing the layers of light yarn hanging on the gazebo, and only vaguely seeing the figures inside, Luo Ziqi couldn't help but pause slightly, an indescribable dark color appeared under his eyes, his white fingers gradually clenched in his sleeves, but there was still a faint smile on his face...

Walking into the pavilion, Luo Ziqi looked at the stone table sitting in the pavilion, and when there was a purple clay pot and some side dishes in front of him, he pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "See the county lord." ”

Liu Hua'er, who had become the county lord, was dressed in a royal blue robe, and her face became more and more delicate and lovely, and even the smile on her lips was a little gentle:

"Eldest sister is here, please take a seat!"

Luo Ziqi smiled and whispered a few polite words to her, then sat down on the stone bench according to her meaning, and his eyes subconsciously fell on the incense burner placed on the edge of the light yarn, which was burning a stream of white smoke and a light pear blossom fragrance, and couldn't help lowering his eyes in a trance for a while, and asked with a chuckle:

"I don't know if the county lord came to me today, but is there something wrong?"

"Eldest sister, let's call my sister, what are you and my sister talking like this?"

Liu Hua'er listened to her question, the expression on her face did not move, but the smile on her lips deepened, and she raised her hand and picked up the purple clay pot placed in front of her and poured a cup in front of Luo Ziqi, who was sitting opposite, and said with a smile:

"It's not a big deal, it's not my sister who was named the county lord, it just so happened that the things that the emperor gave to my sister that day had been packed, and then I remembered that there was a thing that was very suitable for the eldest sister, so I immediately asked people to invite the eldest sister over."

When Luo Ziqi saw the tea she poured for herself, she placed the things in her hand on the stone table and replied in a low voice:

"My sister is polite, but my eldest sister is a little unsure of how to respond."

"The eldest sister doesn't need to be polite, it's just my sister and I invited the eldest sister to come over the yard for a light meal."
