People are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong. That's true.

On the second day of the birthday banquet, rumors began to spread in the streets and alleys that a mysterious woman lived in King Xuan's mansion.

The legend is like a god, and there are all kinds of versions. The court also began to guess which lady the queen was to get the queen's mother's affection, and even more so began to discuss the proposal with the queen.

"Sister, now everyone on the street is guessing your identity, and everything you say! Do you know? ”

"Yes."

Qin Si's face was indifferent, the biggest interest of the people after tea and dinner is gossip, from ancient times to the present, they have nothing to do, they can only say some miscellaneous things to pass the time.

"Girl, I thought about it, I still think it's better to move out and live by myself, it's not a way to always be here."

"Sister, where are you going," the girl was a little anxious, "I'll go too, sister, don't leave the girl!" ”

"I won't leave you, don't worry." Qin Si smiled and touched her head, having said that, she was not very familiar with this place, and it was not easy to find a similar place to live, she was still a little worried in her heart, it seemed that she still needed to ask the prince for a favor.

In the palace, Cui Zidu rushed to the queen's hall with an angry face, and it happened that Cui Zirui and Yan'er were chatting with the queen. Seeing him appear here, all three of them were a little surprised.

"Yo, why are you free today?" Cui Zirui greeted him, "Why didn't Miss Sisi come?" The queen mother also said that she would send someone to pick her up! ”

"Yan'er greets the prince...

"Queen Mother, there is something I want to ask." Cui Zi was in no mood to pay attention to Yan'er, and his anger was all focused on the queen.

"Oh? Let's hear it. The queen drank tea leisurely, thinking that the good show she directed was finally about to begin.

"I don't know what the queen mother wanted to do when she took Sisi with her the day before yesterday?"

"It's nothing, the mourning family likes her, so they take him with them. What, you're not happy? The queen raised her eyebrows, and a light smile flowed from the corner of her mouth.

"Now the whole court is talking about a mysterious woman in my house, what do you think about Sisi? Did the queen mother think about the consequences? ”

"Yo, why does our prince care so much about others now? Didn't you never ask these things before? ”

The queen's face smiled, and sure enough, just like An Ge said, her stupid son finally opened up!

"By the way, the mourning family is still about to discuss with you," the queen pretended to be serious, "In the past two days, several families have come to the mourning family, and they want to propose marriage to Miss Sisi, I am still discussing with Rui'er and them, is it better to tell you first, or take Sisi directly and let him choose it personally." ”

"Nonsense!"

As soon as Cui Zidu heard the anger coming up again, he turned around and left angrily.

Cui Zirui watched his always steady second brother become like this, and couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart. "Queen Mother, your use of this trick is really powerful, but the second brother seems to be really angry! How can this be? ”

"Don't get in the way," said the queen lightly, "if he doesn't do this, he won't understand his heart, and sometimes it's not a good thing to be too close." Moderate distance in order to understand the truest thoughts in your heart. Are you right, Yeon'er? ”

"Mother?" Yan'er looked at her confused, she didn't understand why the queen would suddenly ask him this.

Only Cui Zirui understood the queen's words, but he couldn't do anything, just sighed silently.

"Rui'er, you and Yan'er are fine, go and see Sisi, things have become like this, and the mourning family also feels that she can't live with other girls, you go and persuade her."

"Yes, Queen Mother."

The two of them came out of the palace and went directly to the palace, and Qin Si was still a little surprised by their arrival.

"Lord Wang, Miss Yan'er? How did you guys get here? You may be seated. Qin Si brought them fruits and pastries, Cui Zirui sat at the table, his heart was beating the drum, he hadn't thought of any reason for such a rash visit, and he didn't know how to ask about it.

"Sister Sisi, I pestered Brother Rui to ask him to bring me here today," Yan'er saw Cui Zirui's entanglement, and quickly thought of a reason, "I didn't have a chance to talk to my sister at the last banquet, so I came to visit my sister today." ”

"Don't be so polite, Miss Yan'er, if you want to come and play, you are welcome at any time!"

"Really, Sister Sisi, that's great, it just so happens that there is a new juggling team on the street today, let's go together, Brother Rui, are you okay!" Yan'er gave him a look, Cui Zirui suddenly understood, and hurriedly accosted,

"Yes, yes, let's go together."

"That... All right. Qin Si nodded, it's okay to go out for a walk, it's a bit boring to be bored here all day. A few people simply packed up and set off.

I haven't been shopping for a long time, Qin Si is in a very good mood all the way, talking and laughing with Yan'er, the friendship between girls is established very quickly, maybe they will become good friends after chatting or shopping once.

Qin Si and Yan'er are like this, at first they thought that Yan'er might be the kind of delicate rich lady who is difficult to get along with, but to his surprise, Yan'er was generous, behaved decently, and spoke humorously and cutely, and did not have the frame of the eldest lady, so she began to gradually like this little girl.

"Sister, look, this sachet is so cute, isn't it?"

"Oh, the girl has good eyesight," the vendor hurriedly ran to talk when he saw the business, "Don't hide it from the girl, this is the most popular style now, this is the same style of luggage as the woman next to the queen's mother, and it is selling very well now... Do you want to buy one, girl? . . . ”

"Strange, how do you know that woman is carrying? Have you ever been in the palace? ”

Yan'er tugged at Qin Si's sleeve because she found that Qin Si's face was starting to turn bad.

"This girl doesn't know anything, just ask and know, now even a three-year-old child knows... The peddler proudly wanted to continue gossiping about him.

"Forget it, don't buy it, Sister Sisi, let's go." Yan'er took her hand and left, glaring at the vendor before leaving.

"Sister Sisi, you don't have to care about this, everyone is just talking about it, but in fact, there is nothing bad to say...

"I know, Yan'er, you don't have to worry about me." Qin Si smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I didn't handle this matter properly. ”

"Then sister, what are you going to do in the future?"

"I've figured out that it's better to move out, right?"

"Miss Sisi," Cui Zirui was a little surprised when he heard it, "Did you tell the second brother about this?" ”

"Not yet, I'd like to talk to him when the time is right." Qin Si had already thought about it very clearly, but he hadn't figured out how to tell Cui Zidu yet.

Yan'er and Cui Zirui looked at each other, it seemed that he had already decided, so there was no need for the two of them to persuade him anything. Cui Zirui secretly believed what the queen mother said, it seems that everything is under the control of the queen mother!

On the early summer night, with a cool breeze and the tireless chirping of cicadas on the trees, Qin Si leaned on the deck chair by the pool, staring intently at the sparkling pond, thoughtful.

"What are you thinking?"

The sudden appearance of Cui Zidu disrupted her thoughts, she turned her head, Cui Zidu was standing beside her with his hands behind his back, his eyes were still so firm, but his brows were slightly furrowed, revealing a faint worry.

"Are you back, have you eaten?" I don't know when this sentence became the most common conversation between the two people.

Now the streets are all talking about her, even if Qin Sizheng doesn't go out of the door, but he will know a little bit about it, Cui Zi is very worried, she will be upset because of this.

"Don't care about those boring things, it's just the gossip of a bunch of boring people."

"I know. Come and sit, what are you doing standing? ”

Qin Si pulled him to his side, Cui Zi was a little nervous, and sat straight next to Qin Si, motionless, not daring to look at him.

"I've heard that a lot of people are proposing to marry me? I didn't expect my popularity to be so high! It's a bit flattering. ”

Although Qin Si was talking with a hippie smile, Cui Zidu could also see the upset in his eyes.

"That's all a misunderstanding, I'll show the queen mother and drive those people away, this is just nonsense, you don't have to worry about it."

"Lord Wang, I may want to ask you something." Qin thought about it for a long time, but still felt that he should talk to her first.

"What?"

"I thought about it, it's better to move out...

"Not allowed!"

Cui Zidu blurted out, which surprised Qin Si.

"Well, why move out? Is it because my house is not well taken care of? Or those gossip? ”

Cui Zi was a little excited, and his eyes became sharp.

"Don't worry, listen to me." Qin Si handed him a cup of tea, "Actually, what they said is also right, I am not here for a long time after all, not to mention that I don't want to be bored in this courtyard all day, I also want to do what I like, and be free all day long!" ”

"Then you mean that the king has restricted your freedom?" Cui Zidu's eyes began to faintly burst into flames.

"No, no, no. Lord Wang, you misunderstood. ”

Qin Si was a little anxious, she didn't want to cause a misunderstanding because of this, but the more anxious she was, the easier it was for her to make a mistake.

"Do you know how dangerous it is out there! You're not afraid? ”

Cui Zi didn't understand, this woman was really crazy, what was she thinking about all day long?

"I believe that the prince will protect me, won't he!" Qin Si had a harmless expression on his face, and Cui Zi, who was choked, couldn't speak for a long time.

After a while, he asked silently, "Have you already decided?" ”

"Well, please also ask the prince to help me find a house."

"Well, this king respects your opinion."

After a moment of silence, Qin Si felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, and wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere. "Lord Wang, you can come and play with me at any time! With An Ge, and Yan'er, they 。。。。。 ”

"You don't plan to go back to the palace in the future?" Cui Zidu looked at Qin Si with an expressionless face.

"That... Do you want me back? The two men looked at each other, but neither said a word.

"It's too late, let's go back." Cui Zidu silently stood up and walked towards the inner courtyard.

"Cui Zidu...

“。。。。”

He stopped, but didn't turn around.

"You... Qin Siwei said something, but he only opened his mouth, and his throat seemed to be blocked with something weighing a thousand catties, and he couldn't say anything. In this way, Qin Si watched his back disappear at the end of the corridor, without looking back or pausing.

Qin Si silently looked at the dark corridor, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes,

"Cui Zidu... Thank you for this time. ”
