Qin Chu's words and deeds were measured in advance and retreat, and sometimes he listened quietly, and the conversation between the three of them was extraordinarily harmonious.

Lin Xueyi held her cheeks and asked Qiao Mei: "A few days ago, my father said that you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely get married," she raised her eyebrows, a little unable to hold herself, "So is this true?" ”

Qiao Mei was suddenly a little confused, it stands to reason that Emperor Zhaoren would never reveal his tone to the outside world in order to prevent the two of them from failing to achieve good things in the end, which embarrassed Xie Huaijin, but ...... How could this General Dingyuan say that?

"Your father...... How so? Qiao Mei picked at the delicate jade cup and asked absentmindedly.

Lin Xueyi subconsciously wanted to wave her hand, but somehow took it back, put it on her sideburns and helped the butterfly love flower hairpin, and said seriously: "My father can tell me, you and the prince are in love, and the two are happy!" ”

"Besides, now that we're friends, you can't hide it from me."

"Ayuki." Qin Chu drank lightly, and he bowed his head apologetically with Qiao Mei.

Qiao Mei shook her head, looking at Lin Xueyi's demeanor, she wanted to laugh a little, she seemed to understand something.

She said, "I really don't have anything to do with Your Highness......

Before she could finish speaking, the door was knocked lightly and heavily a few times, Qin Chu got up and said apologetically: "I still have some retirement in advance, Miss Qiao, please look at Ah Xue, don't let her run around." ”

Lin Xueyi didn't want to, she also got up, and said a little hurriedly, "What are you going to do?" I'm going too. ”

Qiao Mei looked at Qin Chu in embarrassment.

"Don't say anything obedient! I don't listen, I don't listen—I don't listen! Lin Xueyi tugged at his sleeve and splashed it.

Qin Chu Ruyu's face showed helplessness, so he had to take the two of them upstairs.

The third floor is a huge single floor, white jade pavement, the carpet is woven with fine Tibetan wool, the texture is soft and delicate. The three jade pillars supporting the beam inside are coiled with a peacock with its tail spreading.

As soon as I entered, I saw a pot of hot tea drying on the small table, and a cloud chessboard was placed next to it. Further in, the entrance is a double screen, the center of the screen is only embroidered with some dark lines, it looks very elegant and chic, and the screen below is a world of difference.

The tea seemed to have just been brewed, and for a while the tea fragrance was overflowing, Qiao Mei smelled it and only felt that it was a big red robe, and it was still known as the "champion of tea" Wuyi rock tea.

After this tea is brewed, the color is green and brown, the aroma is quiet, and it is slightly like the fragrance of osmanthus flowers. After tasting, the taste is mellow and sweet, and the rock rhyme is fully displayed, which is the best in tea.

In Qiao Mei's memory, there is only one person who loves to drink it very much.

Sure enough, the next moment, there was a sound of neat steps, and a person walked out from behind the screen. He stood with his hands in his hands, wearing a jade crown on his head, sword eyebrows and sideburns, he was born handsome and unparalleled, but the beauty of the face was like cold frost, and he was a little scared when he saw it.

Lin Xueyi was slightly stunned, and was about to salute, "I've seen-"

"No need to be polite." Xie Huaijin swept over Qiao Mei lightly, and also stopped her from bending her knees.

For a moment, the air seemed to freeze slightly.

Lin Xueyi stared at Qin Chu with apricot eyes, and secretly regretted that she shouldn't have pestered him.

Qin Chu shook his head, smiling innocently.

Over there, Xie Huaijin only stood stunned, and after saying those four words, he didn't say a word with an expressionless face.

After being silent for a few moments, Qin Chu still spoke, "I see that your girl's family has nothing to talk to us, so why don't Ah Xue take Miss Qiao down to play." ”

"Also—"Good...... Lin Xueyi's half of the words were still stuck in her throat and were interrupted by the man's cold voice.

"No."

Xie Huaijin had a cold face and said, "It's getting late, it's time for Miss Qiao Si to go home." ”

-

It was getting late, and the guards of the tall horses sat in front of the carriage and drove unhurriedly with solemn faces.

The carriage was richly furnished, and the horizontal decorations inside were all carved with birch gold, and there was no incense burned in it, but there was a refreshing smell. Qiao Mei leaned on the cushion behind her, and secretly sighed softly, worthy of the prince's carriage.

She thought about it, and lifted the curtain to look outside, Xie Huaijin still had that cold and handsome face, riding on a tall and sturdy black horse, his eyes were staring ahead, without half a wave, and he never gave Qiao Mei half a line of sight.

Outside, the dark curtain is approaching, and the sky is full of stars. Many people smoke from their homes, and the glutinous aroma of food is heard.

The moon shadow shines brightly on the next side, shining on the two people in front of and behind, Lin Xueyi tugged at the ribbon on the side of her skirt, and she muttered: "Qin Chu, you say, will Qiao Mei and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ...... Look at them today—" She turned her head and met the man's misty eyes, her voice passing.

Qin Chu chuckled, his index finger slightly bent and tapped her smooth forehead, and said, "I'm older than you, call me brother." ”

"Looking at His Highness's words and deeds today, I am afraid that I have already liked Miss Qiao Si." He pursed his lips and smiled, "It's just that the person concerned doesn't know it yet." When he smiled, the whole person seemed to be coated with light.

Straight teacher Lin Xueyi couldn't take his eyes off.

"What's wrong? Am I right? ”

Lin Xueyi abruptly turned her head away and muffled her voice, "No, no, you're right, I think so too." ”

……

The carriage wheeled slowly, and gradually stopped.

When Qiao Mei lifted the curtain and went down, Bai Qing and Bai Yue were already waiting under the car, and the paper red lanterns under the eaves of the gate of Jingguo Mansion were swaying happily in the wind.

Xie Huaijin turned over and dismounted neatly.

He walked to Qiao Mei's three inches away and said bluntly, "Lonely will go back." He paused again, his voice slightly unnatural, "You're not well, rest early." ”

He sent Qiao Mei back this time, and he didn't alarm anyone. So when you leave, you won't go to Jingguo Mansion to bother.

Qiao Mei bent his knees, watching him straddle his horse and whip again, and walk away.
