"Miss, it's not good, it's not good!"

A young girl in the prime of her life rushed into the yard, shouting eagerly with a look of urgency, so that Xiao Qingqing, who was practicing embroidery, pricked her fingers.

Xiao Qingqing was in pain, and then held his jade hand in his mouth, and blamed: "What's the hurry, it's hard to make a hole in God!" Hairy hands and feet..."

The maiden girl gasped and said, "Miss, His Royal Highness King Xian has arrived." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Qingqing sat up suddenly, panic immediately appeared on his calm face, he couldn't stand, he couldn't sit, he felt that his heart was like a deer colliding on all sides.

"What is he doing here?" Xiao Qingqing's tone was a little resentful, after all, the two of them had been separated for a few days last time, and he was shy and wanted to see but didn't dare to meet, he was a man, so he should have taken the initiative, but he didn't see his figure.

The maid shook her head and said, "I said that I came to visit the master, but I said that the prince was not at home and I don't know when I will come back." ”

"And he's gone?" Xiao Qingqing was even more lost.

The maid smiled narrowly: "Of course not! How can I let His Highness go, he is coming here, I will run over to the young lady first. ”

As soon as Xiao Qingqing heard that Xiao Rui was coming immediately, she was even more restless, and couldn't help but complain about the personal maid: "You should invite His Royal Highness King Xian to the main hall, what kind of system is it to bring here, there are many ears and eyes, how bad!" ”

"Oh, Cui'er knows it's wrong, so Cui'er will do it?" The maid looked at Xiao Qingqing and said so, but her body had no intention of moving.

Xiao Qingqing saw the reaction of the personal maid, and immediately understood that she was being teased by her, so angry that she tickled her flesh, and the maid begged for mercy again and again.

Xiao Rui entered the courtyard through the archway, and saw Chang Wei calling Fu... Ahem... The two women frolicked together, and the picture was so pleasant.

"Ahem!"

Xiao Rui moistened his throat, which reminded Xiao Qingqing.

Xiao Qingqing turned his head and saw Xiao Rui, I don't know when he came to the courtyard, his pretty face turned red, and he glared at the maid fiercely.

"Miss, I'll go prepare refreshments." Cui'er hurriedly ran away.

Xiao Rui took two steps forward and arched his hand: "Cousin Qingqing!" ”

Xiao Qingqing's cheeks turned even redder, and said, "Just call me Qingqing, it sounds so weird to call my cousin." ”

Xiao Rui smiled, how could he have seen Xiao Qingqing's posture as a little woman, sure enough, a woman becomes stupid when she falls in love, Xiao Rui believes that as long as he says that he is short of money, Xiao Qingqing will sell the royal treasure for money, and I don't know how King Ruyang will feel when the time comes.

Hey, don't say it, Xiao Rui has found a good way to get rich.

"Why are you here?" Xiao Qingqing was a little kneading, and it took a while to calm down.

Xiao Rui said: "It's almost the New Year, come to visit the prince, and I want to come to see you, a few days, such as every three autumns." How's your body recovering? ”

Physical recovery? Xiao Qingqing was stunned for a moment, she wasn't sick, and then she reflected, her cheeks were even redder, and her voice was muffled: "It's been good a long time ago, I don't blame you!" ”

Xiao Rui laughed dryly, he was already very fierce, coupled with good medicine, how could Xiao Qingqing be an opponent?

It's not my intention to exert force, I just wish the sea to be flat.

It's just that this can't be said like this, so Xiao Rui changed the topic, happened to look at the embroidery on her table, and asked, "Are you embroidering?" ”

Xiao Qingqing hurriedly took away the embroidery and put it behind him, nodded, and said, "Well, practice, I haven't touched it for a long time, and my technique is rusty." ”

"Really? Let me take a look and admire it. Xiao Rui said.

Xiao Qingqing hesitated for a moment, where was he unfamiliar, he just wouldn't know at all. But when she saw Xiao Rui's bright eyes and the smile raised at the corner of her mouth, she felt like she had been drugged and unconsciously took out the embroidery.

He laughs so handsomely.

Xiao Rui took the embroidery, looked at the pattern on it, and couldn't help but praise: "These two geese are so beautiful." ”

"That's a mandarin duck!" Xiao Qingqing died of shame, her voice was extremely low, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui really wanted to give himself a slap, how could there be a goose embroidery, he hurriedly said: "I'll just say, how can the goose be so slim, look at the use of needlework, this mandarin duck embroidery is really good, I like plump mandarin ducks, just like the taste of a goose stewed." I wonder if you can give it to me after the embroidery? ”

Xiao Qingqing smiled like a flower, and nodded again and again: "Okay!" ”

She was very happy in her heart, she originally wanted to give it to him, she thought he would dislike it, but she didn't expect to like it so much.

It would be even more perfect if you didn't mention the word goose.

At this time, a group of maids brought tea, snacks, and fruits.

"Is this to your liking? If you don't like it, I'll let someone else prepare. Xiao Qingqing asked.

Xiao Rui looked at the table of dim sum fruits, there were even grapes, it seemed that they were refrigerated in the freezer, and there were only a few people in the entire capital who could enjoy these out-of-season fruits in winter.

Xiao Rui smiled: "Don't be so polite, this grape is to my liking, but I like to peel it when I eat it, but it's a pity that I'm clumsy." ”

Xiao Qingqing had already dismissed the maid, and when she heard Xiao Rui's words, she gave him a blank look, and then took it personally, picked the grapes with her slender jade hands, gently lifted her coat, and then peeked around, making sure that there was no one else, and hurriedly hugged the grapes into Xiao Rui's mouth.

Xiao Rui suddenly felt moist, and he didn't know if it was the moisture and deliciousness of the grapes, or something else.

Peeled four grapes for Xiao Rui in a row, Xiao Rui was afraid that King Ruyang would suddenly kill him, and it would be sad, not to mention that the cabbage was arched by the pig, and it was almost swallowed in his stomach.

So Xiao Rui reluctantly stopped this behavior.

"Where has the prince gone? Do you know? Xiao Rui asked.

Xiao Qingqing said: "I'm going to find King Zhou for tea, I've been going for a long time, I'll be back in a while, you can wait a little longer." By the way, what are you looking for my father? Can I help you? ”

Xiao Rui shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's not about the New Year, so come and visit." By the way, Qingqing, I just entered the mansion and browsed the Ruyang Palace, which is not smaller than my Xianwang Mansion, if you want to maintain such a big family business, how many people are in the mansion? ”

"I don't know very well, there are more than 100 people, most of them are subordinates and guards, maintaining the operation of the entire palace, and some of them are still my father's henchmen and staff, but I don't even know them." Xiao Qingqing said.

Xiao Rui quipped: "Staff? Could it be that in order to play chess, the prince has to recruit his staff to give advice? ”

"How is that possible! Certainly not for the sake of playing chess. Although my father is not on duty in the imperial court, he still holds the title of generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and I think it is because of this that he recruited staff. Xiao Qingqing explained.

Xiao Rui nodded, according to the rank of the military generals of the Great Xia Kingdom, the governors of the five major metropolitan governors are second-rank and third-grade officials, and they manage all the military guards of the Great Xia, while the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses of the first rank is a fictitious position, and only in special circumstances can he have the right to command the soldiers and horses of the world by the decree of His Majesty. The king of Ruyang was highly respected and trusted by Emperor Xia, so he led the title of generalissimo and no one refuted it.

The person who colluded with Cao Hanbing can enter and leave the Ruyang Palace, there are only two possibilities, one is that this person is familiar with the Ruyang Palace, and the other is that this person lives in the Ruyang Palace.

If he is just familiar with the Ruyang Palace, then the origin of this person has fallen into a dead end, but this does not make Xiao Rui regret, there are many enemies on the road to the prince's dispute, and there is no need to find out the origin of the enemy, who is in the way and who is doing whom.

However, if this person lived in the Ruyang Palace, it would make Xiao Rui hesitate. After all, if you can live in the palace, you are the person of the king of Ruyang, so colluding with the Cao family to assassinate you will be involved in the king of Ruyang.

Do you doubt the King of Ruyang?

Jia Xu has investigated, King Ruyang is not close to any prince, and even in order to avoid being implicated in the dispute between the crown prince, he has repeatedly made suggestions to His Majesty, hoping to return to his hometown in Lanling and live in peace. But every time he was retained by Emperor Xia, he was quite valued by Emperor Xia.

And what kind of relationship between himself and Xiao Qingqing now, will King Ruyang harm himself?

In addition, there is another possibility, that is, although the hidden person is a person from the Ruyang Palace, he is also someone else's secret chess, hiding in the Ruyang Palace.

Xiao Rui sighed, based on Cao Hanbing's words alone, it was too difficult and difficult to find out the secret of the hidden person, and Xiao Rui had no hope.

Xiao Qingqing kept looking at Xiao Rui, and his thoughtful expression fell on Xiao Qingqing's eyes, making her can't help but ask, "You must have something, can I help you?" ”

Xiao Rui came back to his senses, looked at Xiao Qingqing's gentle gaze, raised his hand and gently stroked the green silk on her forehead, and said, "I suddenly thought of some trivial matters, which are irrelevant." ”

Although Xiao Qingqing is free and easy, but since she has put her heart on Xiao Rui, she has matured in an instant, since Xiao Rui doesn't say it, it must be hidden from herself, she secretly remembers it in her heart, and is ready to secretly investigate to see if she can help him!

Subsequently, Xiao Qingqing embroidered, Xiao Rui sat beside her and accompanied her, the two were still chatting, under the warm winter sun, this picture was so warm.

It's just that what Xiao Rui didn't expect was that King Ruyang didn't wait, and waited for an unexpected person.

"Yikes! Husband, why are you here? ”

A woman appeared in the courtyard, and when she saw Xiao Rui, she couldn't help but exclaim.

Xiao Rui shuddered, almost spilled the tea on the crotch of his pants, and when he looked up, he saw Li Ruoxue, who had once had a relationship, standing there, greeting himself with a smile.

Xiao Qingqing saw Li Ruoxue coming, hurriedly put down the embroidery, and said, "Ruoxue, why are you here?" ”

Li Ruoxue approached and said, "It's sunny today, so I want to go out to play with you, how did you two meet?" ”

After speaking, Li Ruoxue looked at Xiao Rui and said with a smile: "Husband, I didn't expect to see you here last time." ”

Xiao Rui smiled embarrassedly, he knew that there would be an exposed stuffing today, he shouldn't have deceived Li Ruoxue in the first place, fortunately, her husband does not exist in this world, only he understands.

"Miss Li, I'm glad to be there!" Xiao Rui returned the salute.

Xiao Qingqing was surprised: "Husband? King Xian, when did you change your name? Oh, I remember, Qu Death Pool! In the Qu Funeral Pool that night, is it in the pavilion of your and Ruoxue's sister's private parts? ”

After speaking, Xiao Qingqing was immediately taken aback, and immediately glared at Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui smiled back with an embarrassed smile.

Li Ruoxue looked surprised and said, "King Xian? Are you Xiao Rui, Your Highness the Seventh? ”

Xiao Rui hurriedly apologized and said, "This king Xiao Rui, apologized to Miss Li, there were many people at that time, so I gave a pseudonym, a pseudonym!" I didn't mean to deceive the girl. ”

Li Ruoxue didn't answer, Xiao Qingqing snorted jealously: "Pseudonym? At that time, Qu Yanchi was originally used for the marriage of the Nine Emperor Princes, could he use a pseudonym? I see, some people do it on purpose, just to see that my Ruoxue sister is simple and easy to bully! ”

"Then what are you doing in Qu Death Pool? Is it also to choose the person you like? "How can Xiao Rui be ridiculed by Xiao Qingqing, in front of other women, men must stand up.

So Xiao Rui glared, Xiao Qingqing was deflated, and couldn't help muttering red lips.

Li Ruoxue took Xiao Qingqing's hand and said with a smile: "Sister Qingqing, you don't have to blame His Royal Highness the Seventh for me, His Royal Highness is gentle and elegant, and he also arrived in the pavilion first, so I'll go and disturb later." I just didn't expect the old man to be the Seventh Highness, which was beyond my expectations. ”

Saying that, Li Ruoxue looked at Xiao Rui, her eyebrows and eyes were as elegant and elegant as when she first met, and she continued to smile: "Your Highness Seven, I am fortunate to meet." ”

Xiao Rui nodded, when he saw Li Ruoxue for the first time, he had a heart-warming feeling, and he liked her temperament, but now in front of Xiao Qingqing, this feeling has not decreased at all, and it is even more exciting.

Men are really big pigs' trotters.

"Has the Snow Maiden ever gone out for a walk?" Xiao Rui responded.

Li Ruoxue showed a reverie and muttered: "Go to the deep sea to watch the whales fall in the east, dye the afterglow in the desert in the west, the coconut trees in the Nansha Islands, the ice sky in the north and the snow bears, the scenery in the east, west, north and south is beautiful, but it is a pity that the heart is fascinated, but it is difficult to move an inch." ”

Xiao Rui nodded, as the granddaughter of Li Mingyang, the first assistant to the cabinet, it was indeed difficult for her to leave the capital freely and feel the scenery of the world.

"The years are long, remember the original intention, the world is so big, there will be a day to go out and see." Xiao Rui comforted.

Li Ruoxue looked at Xiao Rui and smiled softly.

Seeing Xiao Rui again, Li Ruoxue didn't feel strange at all except for his identity, and he was still as independent in the world as he saw in the pavilion that night, as if he was a fellow traveler in the red dust.

It's a pity that he already has a marriage contract, and he is still the fiancé of his good sister Zhuge Liuying.

Xiao Qingqing on the side couldn't bear it, her eyes were aimed at the two of them, and she always felt that if she continued, she would be ranked third!

No way!

"The weather is really nice today, if it snows, where do you want to play? Let's go now. Xiao Qingqing asked.

Li Ruoxue said: "Let's go to Jingyuan, it just so happens that my cousin is also there." Your Highness, do you want to go with us? ”

"He's not going! He's coming to see my dad, and there's something big. Xiao Qingqing said first.

Xiao Rui saw Xiao Qingqing's taste, and couldn't help laughing in his heart, sure enough, an excellent man will make a woman feel in crisis, and even her best friend has to guard against it.

I'm damn good.

"I won't go, and it's not appropriate for me to go. But I don't wait for the prince, and I don't know when he will come back. Lord Lanling, when you come back to say hello to the prince on my behalf, I will come back in a few days. Xiao Rui said.

Xiao Qingqing snorted lightly: "Okay." ”

In this way, the three of them left the palace together, Xiao Rui saw the two of them get into the carriage, and he also turned around and got into the carriage.

"Your Highness, shall we go home?" It was Li Yuanfang who was driving today, his injuries were almost good, and he officially began to protect Xiao Rui closely.

Xiao Rui thought for a moment and said, "Go to the Reading Academy!" ”
