Chapter 47: I Don't Know What to Do (1)

After returning to the Qin Mansion that night, Qin Xi never said a word to Qi Ao again, the soft sedan chair stopped outside the mansion gate, she glanced at him fiercely with her eyes, lifted the hem of her skirt, and trotted back to Xi Garden without saying a word, clearly not wanting to deal with this person anymore

In the first few days, Qi Ao didn't feel that there was anything wrong In the past, her young lady had a temper attack It's not that they haven't had a cold war, they don't talk, they don't meet, they don't inquire about each other's news, and most of the endings end with her taking the initiative to please him, it's not that he is overconfident, but he has always known that she is softer than him

So he thought it wouldn't be any different this time

He still does what he needs to do as usual Watching and writing, practicing swords, riding and shooting, he is even more diligent than before he met that person He has been immersed in the court for many years His eyes have always been accurate in seeing people Intuition told him that Li Xuan's appearance was too coincidental In the past month, it has been difficult for the master to take care of Qin Xi and he is also alienating Qin Xi for reasons that he can't explain Preference in this gap Li Xuan successfully approached her

He couldn't say why he had an instinctive hostility towards Li Xuan Maybe because he didn't know anything about this person, so he naturally had a later question, and he didn't see the expected panic on Li Xuan's face, but he breathed a sigh of relief

Of course, he didn't forget to secretly order someone to investigate the truth of Li Xuan's words, as long as a person exists in this world, he will definitely leave traces No matter how perfect a lie is, in the continuous verification, it will also reveal flaws He wants to ensure that this person's appearance will not pose a threat to Qin Xi

Maybe even he didn't realize that his desire to protect Qin Xi was already so strong

On the tenth day, Qi Ao, who had always been confident, began to notice that something was wrong, Qin Xi didn't show any goodwill, neither did the maid send delicate and delicious novelty pastries, nor did she ask him for advice on light archery, he pretended to be careless and mentioned her current situation to the little maid, and the little maid replied that she went out of the house for a few days in a row to play, and only returned to the Xi Garden to eat and rest alone at dusk

He seemed to have been completely forgotten by her

Thinking of this, a trace of unspeakable loss actually appeared in his heart, this kind of sullen feeling, no matter how many famous books and classics he can't squeeze out

She has walked around the streets and alleys of Qinzhou How much should she feel bored What else can she do when she goes out of the house frequently Of course, it has something to do with Li Xuan

Studying under the old man of Jiuyin, traveling around the world, having a small reputation, full of talent, and being wanton and indifferent Just the quiet and far-reaching wind on his body is enough to attract Qin Xi's attention She is such a lazy and comfortable temperament If it weren't for the responsibility on her shoulders, I'm afraid I would have followed Li Xuan's love for the mountains and rivers without thinking too much

Damn it

There is a feeling that he has deliberately suppressed in his heart for many years, because the appearance of the man named Li Xuan is about to come out with a spraying force

In the Qin Mansion, their relationship has always been the most intimate She is filial and well-behaved to her master, and she is generous to her servants and maids, and she is distressed and worried, and most of them can only be said to listen to him, and over time, he knows her thoughts and thoughts better than anyone else, and when her eyes roll, he can know her little tricks without guessing, and the tacit understanding between him and her, and her trust in him has become his habit

After all these years, he had become accustomed to her, and it was impossible for him to get used to another woman

Qi Ao suddenly thought that he should have been attracted to her many years ago, otherwise how to explain his thoughts about killing Li Xuan now

He changed his face when he had been forbearance in Qinzhou for many years, and when he rarely had the full intention of killing, and now the corner of the book in his hand had been rubbed by him, and he had to admit that Qin Xi carved it very deeply in his heart

When I first met, he went from being the noble prince of the East Palace to becoming a wanted criminal everywhere, and fled all the way to Qinzhou, and suffered a lot, and was in danger several times, and death passed by, and the close guards were killed one after another, until the last person left, Ning Yuan

Ning Yuan desperately guarded him When he asked to see the city lord of Qinzhou, an iron-blooded man knelt in front of him without saying a word, and said pleading words in his mouth, while he stubbornly straightened up, trying to retain the last trace of royal dignity In fact, he knew that everything he could lose at this time was lost This body is also the end of a strong crossbow

According to Ning Yuan's statement, the city lord of Qin was the old acquaintance of the queen mother before she entered the palace At that time, he was still hesitating whether he should fight against another country for the son of the old man Qi Ao coldly thought that his friendship with the queen mother was nothing more than that, and there was still a little hope in his heart that he could take him and Ning Yuan He was the only surviving bloodline of the Qi clan He couldn't die if the revenge was not avenged

Out of the Qin Mansion, there are people everywhere who want his life, and he only has this one hope

Qin Xi is the one who has fulfilled him He saw her grimacing at him pitifully hugging the legs of the city lord of Qin She is petite and her head is not as tall as her father's waist He has two imperial sisters at her age It is too late for her to be coquettish and cute

He heard her clear voice: "Finally, a little brother came to play with me, Dad let him stay, okay?"

Qi Ao was even more surprised that the city lord of Qin did not think of complying with Qin Xi's request Just as rumors from the outside world The city lord doted on this daughter to the sky Thinking of his father's ruthlessness and cruelty, his heart was even more gloomy

Later, she happily wanted to get close to him, and pulled up the corners of his clothes like a kitten: "Qi Ao, it turns out that you are the prince of the southern kingdom."

He immediately shook off her hand What is she Condescending to remind him how humble his situation is Shaking off her hand was an instinctive reaction of the body Soon he regretted it He still sent someone to the fence Her father agreed to take him in If she turned her head and complained to her father at this time

He has seen a lot of arrogant and domineering young ladies of the family

Fortunately, she didn't take it to heart, but instead said like a little adult with her hands behind her: "What's so good about being the prince of the southern kingdom You can't leave the palace in your life Even the sky above your head is boxy It's different in Qinzhou Qinzhou has beautiful mountains and rivers Outstanding people There are countless delicious and fun things."

It's ridiculous that she hasn't even stepped out of the boundary of Qinzhou The frog at the bottom of the well has any qualifications to comment on the position of the prince

"You also saw it just now My father is willing to teach you everything he knows You don't know how powerful my father is He doesn't even want to teach me Your luck is too good "Once upon a time, I worshipped my father like she admired her father Only the emperor's order was from In order to get a word of appreciation from my father, I read it at night and never sleeped, but my father only had imperial power in his eyes How can I get my flesh and blood affection

He suddenly felt a trace of inexplicable jealousy towards her

When she was depressed, she said viciously: "As long as you are willing to study hard, you will definitely be better than Dugu Hao's villain in a few years, and you will be angry Dugu Shibo, see that he still has the confidence to pour ** soup into my father"

Dugu Hao should be someone she hates very much

With her temperament, what she thinks in her little head is written on her little face at a glance There is no need to guess That is, her fate is good If this is in the harem of the southern country, she will not live to this age at all

I looked at her: "Why do you want me to stay, you are not afraid that I will rob you of your father's love for you in the future"

A person who reads poetry and books will be reflected in the temperament between words and deeds, and it is obvious that she does not have such talents, and she cannot be called diligent, if her father is not the only child, how can he spoil her to such a point

And he is indeed much more dazzling than her, not only in terms of brilliant talent, but also in acquired hard work

Talking about her father, she is more confident than anyone else, and she is majestic and high-spirited: "Joke, I am my father's daughter, how can he not love me, besides, it is not better for him to even hurt and spoil you with me, and there is one more person to accompany me, and I will no longer be afraid of being punished by my husband for copying books alone in class in the future, because you will accompany me and be punished, haha."

Before she could finish her blind fun, Qi Ao had already walked quickly towards the courtyard that belonged to him, leaving Qin Xi far behind, he had never met such an "innocent" stupid woman When he talked to Taifu about the way to govern the family and the country, she was afraid that she would hide in her father's arms and wipe her tears, and she actually thought that he would accompany her to be punished for copying books, which was really ridiculous

His residence was next to Qin Xi's Xi Garden The Qin City Lord did not order to restrict his actions in the Qin Mansion After he was briefly familiar with the environment, he went straight to the Xi Garden, which was only separated by a wall, The reason is very simple Except for the Qin City Lord's study, the Xi Garden is the place where the Qin Mansion has the largest collection of books

He's vengeful, he can't do nothing, he just sits idle, and every moment is a waste of his time

He easily entered her boudoir There was no servant girl to stop him They all respectfully called him son when they saw him Within a short hour of the city lord's approval of his stay, the news that he was the orphan of a distant relative of the city lord had spread The Qin Mansion was under the management of the people very well He didn't hear a single subordinate chew his tongue about his origin for most of the day

Her boudoir is outrageously large and the objects are numerous and delicate, and they are not inferior to his East Palace, and they are all rare treasures when you take them at your fingertips, and it is hard to imagine that the city lord is raising her as a princess of a country It is too unexpected for him Although Qinzhou is independent of other countries, the city lord of Qin does not call himself the emperor to the outside world Qi Ao really can't think of any reason for him to do this

The huge bookshelf was placed behind her desk, and his gaze swept away at random, and at a glance it was clear that her favorite was the concise and easy-to-understand book of commentary, and the colorful booklets were placed in the places where she could easily reach them, and the ancient books and classics that were a few floors higher made his eyes shine, and those neatly displayed were all related to power and cunning, and some of them had only seen manuscripts, and he had never thought that the lone book would be hidden in the boudoir of a seven-year-old girl

A calligraphy on the table was blown up by the breeze and fell into Qi Ao's eyes The crooked and crawling words were surprisingly ugly He looked at it several times before he saw that it was the poetry "Guan Ju"

Guan Guan Ju Dove in the River Island My Fair Lady Gentleman

Jagged wattle left and right streams, my fair lady, longing for it

I can't ask for it, I can't think about it, I think about it, I think about it, I toss and turn

Jagged thorn vegetables, left and right picking, fair lady, piano and friends

Jagged wattles, left and right, fair lady, bells and drums

There are a few words that are obscure to her Her handwriting is very unsmooth and her writing is even uglier In the eyes of outsiders, Miss Qin, who has golden branches and jade leaves, is not learned and has no skills

The corners of his mouth twitched, and Qin Xi's lament came from his ears: "Why doesn't Miss Ben have anything to handle?"

She still has self-knowledge: "The piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are not fine, the female red dance is mediocre, except for the appearance of the sweet, you really don't have anything to do" This is the truth

She was ignited at once: "Who dares to say that about Miss Ben"

He pinched the notebook in his hand and raised it, and she suddenly blushed, and rushed over and snatched it, and hurriedly folded it, and pressed it under the script in the corner of the table, and her face tightened: "Who allowed you to enter Miss Ben's room and turn over Miss Ben's things?"

She also knows that her words are ugly and she can't see people

Qi Ao put on a clear expression: "No wonder your father would rather teach me than teach you With your qualifications, you can't beat me for a year You can't even write a decent word You are fortunate to be born in the Qin Mansion."

When he said this, he was mean to Miss Qin, who had lived in a honey pot since she was a child, and she immediately turned her face and cried, crying so much that Qi Ao was stunned It was the first time that a girl cried bitterly in front of him without any scruples He didn't know what to do at all

It was not so much that he was driven away by Qin Xi, but that he fled in the wilderness He was evil In the face of her, he not only had a fighting spirit like a hairy child, but also lost the self-control that he had always been proud of

The night was already deep Qi Ao was finally willing to close the book in his hand The candle flame was flickering He couldn't read any of the words on the page

After that palace change, he thought that he would no longer believe in a person It was Qin Xi who opened his closed heart, and at this time, the woman he deliberately alienated already had another person in his heart, and that person did not lose to him in terms of appearance and temperament
