End of Chapter Seventy-Eight

Dad personally gave the order, Li Xuan turned into a guest of the Qin Mansion, and he could enter and leave the Qin Mansion freely, without special notice, and the whole family knew that he might be the future uncle, and they were all polite and respectful to him. Dad wished I could marry Li Xuan earlier, but I didn't expect it.

On this day, Li Xuan often came to Qin Mansion to sit with me, I was hiding in the pavilion to watch the maid 'girl' little girl kick the shuttlecock and have fun, into the early summer day is becoming more and more poisonous, I do not go out of the house so often, only ordered someone to prepare seasonal melons and fruits for me to eat when I take a nap in the pavilion.

When I was about to sleep, Li Xuan sat down in the seat next to me, took out a box from his sleeve and gave it to me, strange that every time he came back to Qinfu, he brought me something, either jewelry or snacks, and none of them were empty-handed. I took it and looked at him suspiciously: "What is it this time for?" ”

"Don't you know when you open it?"

He smiled so beautifully, it seemed that he didn't plan to tell me, I carefully opened the lid of the box, lying in the box was a pair of teardrop-shaped earrings, the 'jade' stone 'color' was excellent and the texture was smooth, in fact, he gave me whatever I was happy from the bottom of my heart.

I pretended to be calm and casually put the box on the table: "You came early, it is not yet noon, and there are a few more teas, and it will be time for lunch." ”

He is not as lazy as me, after pinching the meal and finishing the meal, he always invites me to go to the back 'flower' garden of the Qin Mansion to take a short walk, maybe I am too familiar with the scenery in this house, I can't see the novelty, he walks over and over again interesting.

He really doesn't care about how I dispose of the objects he sent out, I slandered in my heart, he was a businessman, although he was doing a 'jade' stone business, but he often picked good things to send me, and in the long run, the business should not be done. I have to guess that he is very savvy in business, and he earns more than enough silver to give me these things.

He saw through my mind at a glance, and his 'color' was normal: "The jewelry I gave you was made by me, and I only went to the warehouse to select a few good materials, and it will not let the shop close, you can rest assured." ”

I always had the feeling that I couldn't hide anything in front of him. Some people can know what you're thinking just by looking at you.

He has been very good here, and I have been thinking about the question in my head for a few days, and I must ask it clearly.

"I didn't know what you wanted for me, and I thought that we wouldn't have a marriage contract one day, but since you liked me and told my father that you wanted to marry me, there are some things I want to make clear to you."

He looked at me with a smile: "You say." ”

"You didn't tell me about doing business in Qinzhou, you didn't tell me that the 'jade' pendant was Emperor Qi's thing, and you didn't tell me that when you went back to Daqi, you saw the old man and Emperor Qi." Li Xuan's unintentional concealment really makes me uncomfortable, especially since he is related to Emperor Qi, and I have an unexplained relationship between Qinzhou and the two Emperor Qi, I don't doubt him, but if he chooses to be with me, he needs to be honest with me.

He looked at my eyes calmly, and I couldn't see any traces of dodging in his dark eyes: "I have brought some cold from my mother's womb, and I have been particularly afraid of cold in recent years, and the climate in Qinzhou is mild, which is very good for my health." Silver is the foundation of life, and it happened that a friend had a shop on hand and was eager to change hands, so I took it down. ”

"As for Emperor Qi, it was even more of a coincidence. When I traveled in Daqi, I was once invited by a friend to go to a court official's house as a guest, most of the people who came were 'friendly' and 'private' secret, I was young and vigorous at that time, and I was in front of everyone to talk about the way of government, and I didn't want to be written to Emperor Qi, Emperor Qi appreciated me, ordered someone to take me into the palace, and chatted with me about the way to govern the country a few times. ”

"Because the body is becoming more and more depleted, I decided to come to Qinzhou to live for a few years, before the departure Emperor Qi rewarded me with this thing, not to accept it is to resist the will and disrespect, mutton fat 'jade' is a good thing, but I am disrespectful. He has the grace of knowing me, and when I return to heaven, I will go to Daqi to mourn and see him off for the last time. ”

"Originally, I wanted to wait for me to come back to Qinzhou to find you to find out my intentions, but I never wanted to reunite with you, you are full of searching for Long Xiao's hiding place, which will inevitably make you suspicious of me and alienate me, so I will avoid mentioning this connection."

He said more than I thought.

"Well, I believe you. I have only asked you these words once in my life, and since you have answered me sincerely, I will not mention them again. "I don't like to turn over old accounts, I have a mustard in my heart that will be solved immediately, he treats me with sincerity, and I treat him with sincerity.

Li Xuan's appearance is amazing, his bearing is noble, as soon as he appears, where can those maids and 'girls' still be able to kick the shuttlecock like water, from time to time a few eyes secretly aim at this side, I looked at him for a long time, but I saw that he didn't care about the attention of others at all. It's not that I don't care about it on purpose, but I don't care about it at all.

I secretly applauded in my heart, my father asked me why I just refused to marry Dugu Hao, if I really agreed to marry him, even if I had the halo of a wife on my head, I would inevitably provoke some irrelevant peach 'flowers' to annoy me. Li Xuan is very good, dedicated and self-clean.

"You can ask me anything you want, and I don't expect you to know what I'm doing and thinking about one day, and I'll have to ask from other people."

"What's more, I like to talk to you, even if it's not a tight small talk, I'm willing to do it."

He looks like a 'very' gentleman, but he can always say a sweet love word or two inadvertently, subverting his breezy skin and making my face even hotter.

The feeling with Li Xuan is very subtle, I don't have to deliberately guess what he thinks, and I don't need to hide my true self, when he first saw me, I was drunk and messing around, not pretending to be a lady, I had been so ugly in front of him, but I didn't disdain to pretend to be reserved, just follow the 'sex' at ease.

"I calculated yesterday, and in three days, it will be your sixteenth birthday, and I asked your maid 'girl', in previous years, you used to visit the lantern festival first and then visit the lake, but this year is still the same?"

"If you don't say it, I didn't think about it." At this time, the 'door' was focused on searching for the Assassins, and he had little time to think about anything else.

"I forgot." He smiled and said, "With me with you this year, it is naturally different from previous years." ”

I was stunned, how did I feel that he had dug a pit for me to jump? Dare he plan to accompany me all the time on my birthday to do what I want to do?

I felt sweet in my heart, and I couldn't help but complain to him: "The lantern festival in Qinzhou is the most boring, I go every year, and there are no new 'flowers' every year." ”

"Oh—tell me what you want the lamp to become?"

I thought about it, tilted my head and said casually: "The so-called lantern festival, in addition to the strange shape of the 'flower' lantern, it is better to add a little more fun, if you can create some special 'waves' for the men and women who come to enjoy the lanterns, it is simply a great merit." ”

"One thing I think is very good, is to hang some quite interesting anagrams under each lamp, limited to one hour, guess the most will be rewarded with some silver, or go to Shanhailou to eat a few free meals, set up a few affordable rewards, there must be a lot of participants. Just thinking about such a scene makes me feel very lively. ”

At that time, I just mentioned it casually and shared the idea of fun with Li Xuan, but I didn't really want to realize it. Two years later, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, in the imperial capital of Daqi, Li Xuan took me to the ten-mile causeway with me who had just recovered from a serious illness, and prepared a lively 'flower' lantern festival for me. It was originally a sweet heart, but when I thought about it in the future, it was like a poisonous 'medicine', burning my heart and bones.

"You have a lot of ghost ideas, I've always wondered how someone as graceful as the Qin City Lord gave birth to such a ghostly 'girl' as you? There should be a lot of misfortune that you have caused since you were a child. ”

"I heard Dugu Shibo say that when my father was young, he was a good man with a hearty atmosphere, and after my mother's death, he was silent so far, not only did he talk less, but he gradually rarely laughed anymore. He felt ashamed of me, and he was reluctant to be harsh, and you can see it, he just let me go. ”

He pursed his lips but not his desires, but his smile spread to every inch of the corner of his eyes.

When he mentioned my birthday, I wanted to tell him something else.

"You may not know that every year of my birthday in the past, Emperor Qi would order someone to send congratulatory gifts, Qinzhou is far away from Daqi, and all of them are rare, but they are very well preserved. I didn't care, but my father valued it very much, and ordered someone to put it in the warehouse and guard it properly. ”

"You said that my father has never seen any treasures, and the things given by Emperor Qi are like treasures, I asked him, and he said that I may be able to use them in the future, and I laughed and said Could it be that I sold these treasures for the rest of my life?"

Li Xuan took a sip of tea and put down the teacup elegantly: "It's your guess that there is an ulterior secret between your father and Emperor Qi." Emperor Qi's overtures to you are to consolidate the alliance of interests with your father, and naturally Long Xiao plans to get rid of the threat of your father after he ascends the throne, so he has a follow-up move. ”

He is very transparent and can understand a little.

"I'll tell you a secret. A while ago, I got a booklet, and by chance I found that it recorded a lot of secret things about Daqi, so I had a plan, so I asked the old storyteller to play a play. "It can be seen that you must use high moves to deal with not so high moves, otherwise it will be self-defeating and almost lose your life.

Li Xuan may have thought of the thrilling scene of saving me in the narrow alley that day, his face changed slightly, and he told me: "Put away that booklet, let Long Xiao come to Qinzhou in person, and your father's interests must be very great." ”

"He is not as good as an ordinary prince, he was very high-spirited when he was the crown prince, and he is an emperor with great means."

Speaking of Long Xiao, his whole person's aura became sharp, and I couldn't help but flash Long Xiao's handsome and extraordinary face and his arrogant and uninhibited tone in front of my eyes. This is a formidable opponent.

After lunch on this day, my father excused me and went into the study with Li Xuan to discuss the details of our wedding. I will be seventeen years old in a few days, it's time to get married, I want to marry Li Xuan, who I have in mind, and this is really good.

But I couldn't get married after all, my father couldn't wait for me to get married, and my life was completely over on the day of my seventeenth birthday. For Li Xuan, I can't love or hate, I am cocooning myself.
