Among the captives of Qi was Xiao Rui's old acquaintance, to be precise, it was not an old acquaintance, but the prisoner he had personally captured, Emperor Qi's concubine, Yuan Yuan.

Yuan Yuan did not flee with the empress and prince of Qi State, but guarded her dormitory without panicking at all. Later, the palace broke, and she was escorted back to Daxia along with other concubines. It happened that Yang Yuji knew some of the situation, so he asked people to take care of Yuan Yuan, not to be unreasonable, and sent someone to report the matter to Xiao Rui.

Fate sometimes really jokes, when Yuan Yuan left Daxia, Xiao Rui also joked with him, to protect himself, don't fall into his own hands again, until today, the joke has come true, and she has become a person who has lost the country.

Xiao Rui didn't want to see Yuan Yuan, the relationship between the two was average, once he went, he confirmed the rumors that he pitied other people's beauty, although Yuan Yuan was really charming and moving, but Xiao Rui was a decent gentleman.

But she couldn't stand her aunt Bai Suzhen, she went directly into the palace, and then pulled Xiao Rui out, the rude formation made Xiao Rui quite helpless, he is the prince of Daxia, is it good to give some face, didn't you see the eunuchs and palace maids laughing?

"What are you doing in this palace? There has to be a reason! Xiao Rui asked.

Bai Suzhen smiled and said: "Yuan Yuan entered Beijing, I am good friends with her, she is not familiar with the place when she first arrives in Kyoto, shouldn't you be the landlord as the master?" ”

"What master, pay attention to the words!" Xiao Ruiyi shouted.

Why is it that when I think of the master, I think of rabbit ear suits, maids, and cat tails...

Bai Suzhen asked, "You really don't want to meet?" ”

Xiao Rui said helplessly: "This palace is busy with official business, how can you have that free time." But you're going to drag it yourself, so the palace has to save face. ”

"Cut..."Bai Suzhen snorted coldly, preferring to believe that the sow split the legs than the man's broken mouth, he obviously wanted to go, but he always found a reason, and showed a reluctant expression, saying that women are hypocritical, and men are really not as hypocritical as women.

In this way, the two left the palace.

Xiao Rui naturally couldn't go to the place where the prisoner was held to see her, so he asked Li Yuanfang to pick up people, while Xiao Rui and Bai Suzhen waited in Jingyuan.

Today's rare winter sunshine, although it is still very cold, wrapped in a thick cloak, sitting by the river fishing is also comfortable.

Xiao Rui was fishing, chatting with Bai Suzhen at the same time, and it didn't take long for Yuan Yuan to be invited over.

Looking for prestige in the past, a woman dressed in plain clothes and without powder came over, and the person who came was Yuan Yuan, but she became quiet, and her gestures were indifferent, which was completely different from her temperament two years ago.

However, her appearance is coquettish, so she should be as passionate as a peony, but at this time she is as indifferent as a lotus. And it's not a white lotus, it's a pink lotus with a gorgeous color.

"Sinner Yuan Yuan visits His Royal Highness the Prince!" After Yuan Yuan arrived, he bowed.

Bai Suzhen grabbed her hand and said, "Don't salute him, Yuan Yuan, you haven't been wronged!" ”

Yuan Yuan glanced at Xiao Rui, he was still the same as before, but his bearing became more extraordinary, and his body was already filled with an aura of not being angry and arrogant, she didn't dare to look at it more, just one glance, so her eyes turned to Bai Suzhen, and said happily: "Suzhen, I'm fine, everything is fine!" ”

Xiao Rui didn't know what to say, he just nodded to Yuan Yuan, then took off his cloak and threw it over, continuing to catch his fish.

Bai Suzhen took the cloak and draped it directly on Yuan Yuan's body, humming: "I still know that I pity the fragrance and cherish the jade!" ”

Yuan Yuan's clothes were thin, and at this time, she put on a cloak with Xiao Rui's body temperature, and suddenly felt warm, and her pretty face was flushed, and she didn't know that it was warm, but shy.

Bai Suzhen pulled Yuan Yuan, and the two whispered, and they were very happy to meet again in Kyoto in Great Xia.

Half an hour later, Bai Suzhen asked everything that should be asked, and then his eyes rolled and he screamed: "Oh, I have a stomachache, just go back!" ”

After speaking, he waved his hand to Li Yuanfang on the side, and ran away.

Li Yuanfang glanced at Xiao Rui, and also stepped back obediently, leaving space for the two of them.

Yuan Yuan saw Bai Suzhen's intentions, and suddenly felt worried in her heart, she hesitated for a while, then got up and walked to Xiao Rui's side and stood still, did not speak, and quietly watched Xiao Rui fishing.

Both of them looked at the float in the water, quietly, as still as the float.

After a long time, Xiao Rui couldn't bear this cold scene, and asked: "It's been two and a half years since I was in a hurry last time, how are you doing after returning to Qi Kingdom?" ”

Yuan Yuan said softly: "It's okay, the palace is very quiet, hiding in the dormitory to become a unity, worry-free food and clothing, practicing calligraphy and playing chess, it is also comfortable." ”

Xiao Rui looked at her sideways, a little surprised.

In the past, Yuan Yuan was very arrogant, she had her own ambitions, she wanted to become the imperial concubine or even the queen of Qi State, but now that she heard these words, it seems that her temperament has really changed.

"Is your family okay?" Xiao Rui asked.

Yuan Yuan's eyes showed some sentimentality, and said: "My mother was sick, and after returning to Qi last time, I saw her and died." Although his brother was reckless, he did not resist the Great Xia soldiers and horses this time, and it was no big problem. ”

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "We are old acquaintances, what are your plans for the future?" I'll let you know, give you freedom, do you have a place you want to go? ”

"The world is so big, how can it be home? Your Highness, the last time I lived in the garden, I liked the scenery here very much, so I had an excessive feeling, I wanted to live in the garden, and I lived for the rest of my life. Yuan Yuan pleaded.

Xiao Rui was stunned, he didn't expect her to have this request.

The garden is very large, and Li Xiuer will only come here to live for a few days when she is bored, so it is quiet here, and it is also suitable for people with indifferent personalities to live here.

It's just the remnants of this life... The mood is very negative, she is only in her twenties, and she is in her splendor, so it is not okay to find a place to recuperate, and she has to cure her negative attitude.

"It's okay to live here, but this palace can't let you live for nothing for no reason!" Xiao Rui said.

Yuan Yuan's face turned red all of a sudden, and she lowered her head and didn't speak.

Seeing her so shy, Xiao Rui was embarrassed, would she be wrong and think of something bad. Are you that kind of person?

But this kind of thing can't be explained, and the more it is described, the darker it becomes, so Xiao Rui immediately added: "You can't live in Jingyuan for nothing, you have to do something, and if you are destroyed from the Qi Kingdom, you will not be the imperial concubine of the Qi Kingdom." From now on, you have to forget who you once were and establish a new outlook on life. ”

Yuan Yuan understood that she would be wrong this time, she was ashamed and annoyed in her heart, and at the same time she was also very curious about what Xiao Rui said, so she couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, what is the matter?" ”

Xiao Rui said with a smile: "Now the weather is getting colder and colder, and it will be the same in the future, so Daxia is promoting cotton planting, the purpose is to let the people wear cotton clothes for the winter." If cotton wants to be turned into cotton clothes and quilts, it needs to go through a process of playing cotton, rather than directly plugging. Because cotton is a new crop, farmers don't know about it, so I have asked the teachers at the college to design a tool to play cotton, but it still needs to be promoted. You can teach the peasant women the art of playing cotton, so that they can have the craft of producing and using their own cotton, which is a good thing for the benefit of the world. ”

"Huh? Can I do it? When Yuan Yuan heard this, she immediately became interested, but she was used to being pampered, and now she has no confidence in letting her do this.

Xiao Rui smiled: "It's not for you to teach in person, you are equivalent to a special teacher in a junior college, and I will match you with some subordinates." You can take them around the state and teach the women the trade, so that the women can communicate with each other. You try it, and if it doesn't work, it's okay. As long as you are willing to try, Jingyuan will live with you. ”

This can be regarded as finding something for Yuan Yuan to do, and when people are busy with things, they will not become negative.

"Good! I was intrigued and very curious about how cotton was played! Yuan Yuan smiled wistfully.

Seeing her smile like a flower, Xiao Rui also smiled and said, "It still looks good when you smile!" Smile more! ”

Yuan Yuan lifted the green silk on her forehead behind her ears and responded with a light hum, this little woman's posture is really rare.

At this moment, Xiao Rui somewhat understood Cao Cao's hobbies.

When Bai Suzhen came back, he saw Yuan Yuan with a smile on his face. Although I don't know what the two talked about, it's a good thing that she has a smile.

That's all she can do, and the future depends on marriage.

But when I think of Xiao Rui's lustful character, Bai Su really thinks that it is okay to look at the marriage, just look at the appearance.

Subsequently, Yuan Yuan lived in Jingyuan, and Xiao Rui escorted Bai Suzhen back to Yefu to see his grandfather and grandmother by the way. Who knows, just arrived at the gate of the mansion, and happened to meet King Ruyang and Ye Qingshan.

The two met, and the atmosphere was delicate.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Xiao Conghu saluted.

Xiao Rui replied: "The prince is here to play chess again, it seems that they are equal, and it is difficult to distinguish between them!" ”

Xiao Conghu nodded and said: "Guozhang's chess skills are exquisite, this king only understands a little, so naturally it is not as good as it, and it is a fiasco every time." ”

Li Qingshan has been in Beijing for some time and already knows some inside stories, so he smiled and said nothing.

Xiao Rui said: "The chessboard is like a battlefield, and the exquisite arrangement of troops, the prince is a master of leading soldiers to fight, and this chess skill will naturally not be bad." ”

"Prince Liao praised." Xiao Conghu smiled.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, after all, they all knew who the other party was, and it didn't make sense to be at odds with each other.

Xiao Conghu arched his hand and said: "Prince, there is something in this king's family, please leave first." ”

"Lord Wang, please first." Xiao Rui said with a smile.

Xiao Conghu nodded, and when he just took two steps, he suddenly stopped, then turned around and smiled: "Oh yes, I'm about to look for a Langjun for Qingqing in a few days, she is also not a small one, although she is divorced, she also has to get married, right, this is justified, you can't be like this for a lifetime!" ”

After speaking, Xiao Conghu turned around and left.

Xiao Rui clenched his fists.

This old bastard, this remark deliberately points to himself! If you can't give Qingqing a proper name, then there is no need to entangle, or don't delay each other.
