At this time, Fang Zhiling seemed to be helping Qingxi ask Fang Tianqi for gifts, but in fact, she wished that Fang Qingxi would make a fool of herself in front of everyone.
"Xi'er, big brother didn't give you a gift."
Fang Tianqi heard the meaning of Fang Zhiling's words, he had never taken the thoughts of such a little family to heart, but he was telling the truth, he really did not prepare a gift for Qingxi.
Looking sideways at Qing Xi, Fang Tianqi noticed a trace of loneliness in Qing Xi's eyes.
Is she sad? He had never seen such a young woman, he thought she was strong, he thought she would be a different woman. Perhaps, he was overthinking, and that person didn't necessarily mean that. Even if that person has that meaning, he is afraid that his sister will not be blessed.
"Young Master, are you joking with Miss? When I brought the gift box, I clearly felt that there was something in the gift box. ”
Wanxin on the side noticed the loneliness in the eyes of the young lady next to her, and she wanted to figure out what was going on.
"Big brother, don't look for Qingxi's happiness, our three brothers and sisters are from the same mother, how can you not prepare gifts for your sister as a brother?"
Fang Zhiling half-hid the smile on her face, and there was no intention of helping in her heart, in her opinion, Qingxi was a twelve-year-old girl, and it was not easy to tease a girl?
"Big Brother ......"
At this time, Qingxi knew that if she didn't come forward to say something, she might not be able to save face, but unexpectedly, Fang Tianqi interrupted what she was going to say later.
"This gift was handed over to you by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
“……”
Qingxi never thought that Fang Tianqi would say such a sentence, she thought that her brother had forgotten to prepare a gift for her, she was an inconsequential person, and it was nothing if she didn't give a gift, but her brother's words made her puzzled, she had never had any friendship with the prince. Holding back the doubts in his heart, Qingxi looked clear.
Facing the gaze cast by Zhiling above, it seemed to be doubtful, disdainful, envious, and sarcastic.
Fang Zhiling looks like this, Qingxi can't say it.
She hadn't even seen the face of the prince, so why did she come here?
"Qingxi, do you know His Royal Highness the Prince?"
"I ......"
"Xi'er, quickly open it and see if it suits your heart, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still waiting for a reply tomorrow."
Qingxi wanted to explain to Fang Zhiling, but Fang Tianqi interrupted her again.
Fang Tianqi would not let Qingxi say something that should not be said, what the prince wanted was a plausible result.
"But ......"
"Xi'er, it's nothing, the prince appreciates your tea art and specially gave this thing to you, you should be grateful, don't lose the rules."
Fang Tianqi's words undoubtedly reminded Qingxi, this gift has to be accepted, and if you don't accept it, you have to accept it, she is the prince, is it possible that she can still return the things? She is a person who cherishes her life, so she naturally will not do such a thing.
In desperation, Qingxi had no choice but to open the gift box.
It is a set of green bamboo and rain-loving tea sets, the smooth jade surface is engraved with exquisite patterns, there is no abrupt feeling between the tentacles, and you can see that it is a good tea set at a glance.
This tea set suited her appetite, how could the prince know her preferences?
Was it unintentional or intentional? What exactly is the prince going to do? Could it be that he is like a king? If that's the case, things seem to be a lot more troublesome.
"This tea set is inlaid with jadeite, Qingxi, what a good gift from His Royal Highness the Prince."
"If my sister likes my sister, I can give it to my sister, and I should do my sister's part."
"I don't dare to accept this gift, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows about the blame one day, I can't afford to bear it."
Getting such an answer, Qing Xi just smiled, and smiled quite helplessly, today she got this gift from the prince, she is afraid that the relationship with the prince is not ordinary, and she is afraid that her life in Fangfu will not be easy in the future, she dare not guarantee that her eldest sister will not deal with herself, this woman has always been difficult to mess with.
Qingxi chatted with Fang Zhiling and Fang Tianqi in Cuiweiju for a while, and returned to Rong Pavilion in advance under the pretext that it was too late.
As soon as he entered the inner and outer rooms, Qingxi found a place to sit down, Wanxin put the gift from the prince on the small machine, and watched her young lady sit on the soft couch in a daze, Wanxin had nothing but sigh.
A while ago, he became a king, and this time he is the prince, and his own young lady has nothing to do with these royal relatives on weekdays, so how can he talk about gift-giving?
Miss this time...... I don't know if the master will *** again.
Since the last time the old man had a long talk with the young lady, she noticed that the people in the outer courtyard were much more polite to her young lady, where would the young lady in the past have such treatment, which had to make her think more, so that she could plan for the young lady.
Who will Wei Zong give Miss to? What about Miss? Although the young lady is only twelve years old this year, and there are still three years before the year of Jilu, none of the young ladies from the big families in the capital city have taken care of everything for themselves in advance, and only their own young ladies have no one to help.
"Miss, how do you place this tea set?"
"Just find a place to settle it casually."
"I'm afraid this is not appropriate, I'm afraid it will cause criticism if it spreads."
"Then place a similar place and take care of it carefully, so as not to fall into the hands of others."
Wan Xin's words reminded Qing Xi that she was still thinking about the prince's intentions and ignored the trouble caused by this thing being placed here.
If you want to come to the prince to give gifts, it will spread in the capital in a few days.
How will she deal with herself?
What is the prince doing this for?
If he has the heart to seize the power of the army, he shouldn't be entangled with her, isn't the eldest sister more sure?
Or is it that the prince is fighting for something with King Cheng, and he has just become the object of the dispute?
No matter what it was, Qingxi knew that he was being targeted, and he was being targeted like a prey.
But there seemed to be nothing she could do, at least for now.
"Miss, what happened today ......"
"Don't talk about today's matter for the time being, no matter what the people in the inner court say, no matter whether anyone asks you, you don't know."
Up to now, Qingxi can only manage the people in his own house, and the others can only take one step at a time.
"Miss, you ...... with the prince"
"I don't know him well!"
Faced with Wanxin's successive problems, Qingxi was very helpless, this girl stayed with her all day, what else did she not know?

Lin'an Courtyard is one of the annexes of Wei Zongxing's Palace, and it is also the courtyard where Xiao Jinguo's Li sisters temporarily live. The scenery here can be called the most beautiful one in the annex of Wei Zongxing's palace. Wei Zong arranged the Li sisters here, and the grace of the two sisters can be imagined.
If you want to say that the most beautiful scenery in Lin'an Courtyard, that is the forest behind the West Chamber, the trees in the forest are not as gorgeous as the flowers in the garden, but also look fresh and chic, the most important thing is that there are few people in this forest, and it is also the secret discussion of the Li sisters.
"You did a great job at yesterday's dinner."
The man under the willow tree looked at the two beautiful women in front of him, and said in his heart that the two sisters had not disappointed him.
"Our sisters just did what they had to do, as long as the prince remembered what he said."
Li Qinhan's humble and unpretentious voice came into the man's ears, the man's eyebrows wrinkled inadvertently, no one knew what he was thinking, and Li Qinhan didn't mean to look at him more.
"This king naturally remembers, and your two sisters have not forgotten what they said."
The man deliberately looked at the Li sisters, as if he wanted to see through the two of them.
Seeing that people were staring at him, Li Qinhan was obviously a little flustered, and his jade hand dragged Li Qinlin's shirt from behind, hoping that his sister would bring him some warmth. Now she is even more fragile than she was back then, and she can't afford any torture.
"Lord Wang, please rest assured."
Li Qinlin clenched Li Qinhan's hand, hoping to bring strength to his sister, the man in front of him was not necessarily so scary, but his sister couldn't resist him.
The man naturally noticed the strange behavior of the two sisters, in his opinion, Li Qinhan has been formed, and he must be guarded against, Li Qinlin is a malleable talent, and he will be used by him in the future.
His chess pieces must be fine and divided.
"The day of the draft is approaching, you two are here to prepare for your life, don't let this king down."
"I don't know what the prince is going to do?"
The meaning of Li Qinhan's words was clear, she was worried that she would be sent to the palace, so she changed her original plan. It's just that she didn't know that her dance that day had already changed all her plans.
"For the time being, we will continue to do what we planned."
"Yes."
"Yes."
After the man left, the two sisters stood in place and were stunned for a long time, and after a while, Li Qinlin spoke:
"Sister, do you say that the prince will ......?"
Li Qinlin was very worried that the prince would not abide by the agreement with Xiao Jinguo, no matter how many years he stayed in Xiao Jinguo, he would always be the prince of the Eagle's country, and his heart would still be towards the Eagle's country.
"Don't worry, we are the princess of Xiao Jinguo, even if it is used by him now, he will be a little scrupulous."
"But will my father take care of us?"
As soon as Li Qinlin thought of the father who sent them as hostages, his heart ached. My father had many children, and she was not inferior to her sisters. It's just that they are the most outstanding in Xiao Jinguo, and they shouldn't be the best candidates for this, and their father can do this, and Bacheng is inseparable from King Cheng.
Li Qinhan saw her sister's worried face, and she could guess what Li Qinlin was thinking. She hadn't thought about this matter for a long time, but she hadn't figured it out all along. In her opinion, what her father did was nothing more than for her own interests, using Xiao Jinguo's safety as a shield. As for him, not to mention how much he participated in his father's decision-making, it can be seen from his alliance with his father that the fate of her two sisters is in whose hands.
"Lin'er, don't think so much about it yet, preparing for the election with peace of mind is the most important thing now."
"I know what to do now, don't worry, I won't do things with emotions."
Li Qinlin smiled at Li Qinhan reluctantly, there was only so much she could do now.

The He's brothers live in a modest courtyard at the westernmost end of Yanhefang, which is remote in terms of location, but in terms of scenery, this is a special place, and behind the courtyard is the dense forest in the west of the city.
The dense forests in the west of the city are lush with vegetation all year round, and the scenery is very charming, but few people can enter it, and few people can come out of it after entering. There was even talk of a haunted forest in the capital, which once caused panic among people. Many people around the jungle have also moved out, and the He brothers have never believed in ghosts and gods, and they have never thought of moving out.
In the small courtyard at this time, He Wuji sat on a stone bench and stroked the piano.
The sound of the piano is domineering and resolute, and the strings are lined with a pair of smart hands. A vast picture scroll slowly unfolds with musical rhythm. Emotions and rhythms are intertwined, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, sometimes happy and sometimes worried.
The smoke and dust were billowing out, and he couldn't forget whose back it was.
Galloping on the field, who wins the return of the beauties?
The blood-stained sect, to whom does his love and hatred send?
How many people can do it?
There is nowhere to send the hatred of the family and the country,
Don't ask for one person to depend on each other.
It is difficult to underestimate the enemy on the battlefield,
How can you forget the rivers and lakes?
Maybe he was wrong, but he couldn't choose, maybe it was his only way out.
The hidden wooden door was slowly pushed open, and the sound of the piano froze, He Wuji looked towards the gate of the courtyard, and when he saw that the person who came was his younger brother, he chuckled.
"Is it done?"
He Wuji's words seemed careless, but the deep meaning of them was very clear to Helian Chen.
"It's almost done, how dare I disobey my eldest brother's orders?"
Helian Chen walked straight to He Wuji, stopped beside him, looked down at Fengqin on the stone table, and turned his eyes elsewhere.
"How did it look like I forced you?"
The man's smile bloomed, and he looked particularly bright in the daylight, and if you didn't know who he was, you would be deceived by his appearance.
Helian Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes for a while, did he think he would be deceived by him? Joke! If you want to say that people all over the world will be deceived by him, you won't be easily fooled, but there seem to be a lot of people he deceived, but I don't know if Qingxi is counted?
"Big brother, you'd better take back your gentle mask, I'm not one of those ignorant ......"
"Lian Chen, has there been any movement of the Fang family recently?"
Before Helian Chen could finish speaking, Hewuji interrupted him.
He Wuji's serious expression made Helian Chen realize that he had just said the wrong thing, and he couldn't understand his eldest brother's temperament any better, so he restrained his smile and said with a straight face.
"Fang hasn't had any major incidents recently, it's just ......"
"But what?"
"At Fang Weizhong's birthday banquet, King Cheng went to Rong Pavilion."
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly changed, the air seemed to condense, and He Wouji's face sank significantly.
"What's going on?"
King Cheng was attracted by Qingxi's flute, and chatted with Qingxi in Rongge for a long time, and then left Fangfu in a good mood.
Helian Chen emphasized the words 'in a good mood', as if to give He Wuji some hints, but also to make him unhappy.
"And after that?"
"There's nothing after that, big brother, you don't need to be in such a hurry, Qingxi is a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, can King Cheng eat her?"
Helian Chen didn't think that King Cheng was his eldest brother's opponent, anyway, Qingxi's heart was in his eldest brother, which was more important than anything else. As the saying goes, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, as long as the green heart is still there, he can't do anything to measure him.
At this time, the look in Hewouji's eyes was extremely complicated, as if he was making a great decision, his heart was constantly struggling, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Big brother, are you okay?"
Helian Chen noticed that something was wrong with Hewuji, but he couldn't tell what was wrong with his eldest brother.
"I'm fine, Lian Chen, don't tell me about the second miss of the Fang family in the future."
He Wuji stood up from the stone bench without the slightest emotion on his face, this was the first time he had seen Helian Chen. He Wou-Ki has always brought warmth to the people around him, and he never makes a dull appearance, at least in front of outsiders.
"Big brother, Qingxi, she ......"
"She's my student."
After saying this, He Wuji ignored Helian Chen's momentary stunned and went straight back to the house.
Looking at his eldest brother like this, Helian Chen was quite helpless, what should he do to make his eldest brother see what he wanted from the depths of his heart.
He's the same as the green, I'm afraid......
I only hope that at that time, Qingxi will treat him as always.

It was night, and it was drizzling in the capital, and the dust-stained streets suddenly became fresh, and the quiet arrival of a rain made the capital more artistic conception and taste.
The air in the courtyard was mixed with the aroma of earth, and at the end of the verandah, Fang Weizhong stood with Fang Tianqi. I haven't seen him for many months, and Fang Weizhong inevitably wants to ask Fang Tianqi something.
"Tianqi, this time the envoy has a very good impression of you, these moments have been more restrained."
"The child understands."
