"Huh?" Qi Qingchu looked at the slave standing in front of him to report, his face was displeased.

He's been writing the post for days, and he's already sent it out, but he hasn't waited for a reply, and he doesn't even think his post has been sent.

However, he specially wrote a post and sent it to the Four Princes' Mansion, just to ask people to bring Li Jicai over, but he didn't bring it over for a long time.

Unexpectedly, Li Jicai didn't give him face, so he didn't give him face!

"Are you sure she doesn't want to come? What about the Fourth Highness? Qi Qingchu asked a little uncontrollably, and even faintly showed his anger. It made the subordinate's body tremble.

"If you go back to your master, it's really not that Your Highness doesn't want to come.

The Fourth Highness repeated again and again that if it was the Lord who invited him, he would definitely go there gladly.

But it was Miss Li who was invited, and Miss Li was reluctant to come, and His Royal Highness also asked Miss Li if he couldn't come, so could he come? That's a bit of a playful question, but it's true.

The minions who came to report couldn't help but wipe the sweat from their foreheads.

"In that case, then forget about this matter, you go down first." Qi Qingchu didn't want to show more emotions to others.

When the servant heard this, he was also pardoned, and he exhaled lightly, hurriedly saluted, and then withdrew.

Fling up one's heels!

He is not stupid, and he can feel that his master is not in a particularly good mood, especially when he is rejected.

actually refused, that Miss Li is really a hard bone that can't be gnawed.

It seems that no one in the capital dares to refuse his invitation from the Qi family. Although he doesn't send many posts, he knows that his owner rarely writes posts for others.

However, the people of His Royal Highness's family seem to be very sincere, so that people do not doubt him.

Forget it, these things are not for him to worry about anyway, and those who are slaves must guard their duties as slaves.

He didn't know about this from beginning to end, and it didn't matter to him whether he succeeded or not anyway.

Thinking like this, the next person felt a lot more relaxed.

After the door was closed, Qi Qingchu directly slammed his fist on the table, shaking down all the books on the table.

"Strategy" was lying alone on the ground, this was Qi Qingchu's favorite book to read, and the corners were folded.

Qi Qingchu pursed her lips tightly, her good-looking face was full of anger.

It stands to reason that Li Jicai should stay in his mansion rather than in the mansion of the Fourth Highness.

She didn't know what the situation in the court Jiang Xihu was, and it was safest to stand with him at this time.

Why can't she see it?

Always fooling around like this, always messing around like this, always causing trouble for him like this.

Even though she always holds herself up, she doesn't care if he can't let go.

In this way, it is really better to die at the beginning, and living in this world is in vain to let him be tied and let him care.

Qi Qing was angry at first.

He found her out in Baoji Mountain, took care of her for so long, and sent a message to Xi Zien, asking Xi Zien to pick him up in person and take her out of the mountain, and now he has returned to the capital and personally paved the way for her, can't she see her own and take care of her? !

How could this man be so stupid?

Qi Qingchu pinched his forehead and temples, feeling a headache.

I don't want to see her being used by Jiang Xihu, I just want her to be safe, the scars brought to her by the fire, he saw it, she was really seriously injured.

I have never dealt with such a troublesome woman in my life, and looking back on the past, Qi Qingchu only felt that he should not have stepped into the shop of Suiyuanju with Xi Zien in the first place, and got acquainted with Li Jicai, so many things would not have happened in the future.

Li Jicai, Li Jicai, why are you so difficult.

Now that His Majesty has learned the news of Li Jicai's return, it is estimated that she will be summoned soon.

As the first woman to make outstanding contributions, what kind of reward Li Jicai will receive, Qi Qing couldn't imagine when she was in junior high school. His Majesty's mind is not something he can guess.

However, under Jiang Xihu's operation, Li Jicai is afraid that it can be achieved if he wants to be a minister.

Slowly leaning down, he picked up the book he had just dropped on the ground.

Gently dusting off the dust on the book, Qi Qingchu felt that he was a little reckless and a little out of control.

He shouldn't have done anything completely inconsistent with his usual life for Li Jicai, and he shouldn't have risked his life for her.

Qi Qingchu suddenly felt that he had touched something, and then froze in place, still holding the book tightly in his hand.

He...... Shouldn't it be that I like Li Jicai?

These words fell on Qi Qingchu's body like a soldering iron, which scared him a little. Then he immediately denied his own idea.

No, no, no, impossible.

How could he possibly like her? There's no reason, where is Li Jicai, where is it worth liking? He doesn't understand the private affairs of his children, he doesn't understand how these things are possible.

He just felt that Li Jicai had too much influence on him, so that he always made him make some abnormal judgments, so he came to such a conclusion.

But, but how to explain that he cares so much about Li Jicai?

The moment she saw the body suspected of her in the morgue, Qi Qingchu felt an inexplicable sadness, and that sadness lasted for a long time, and she couldn't get out.

That's why he moved out of the original house, he didn't want to see things and people, and he didn't want to see the scene where he had lived with Li Jicai.

Qi Qingchu rarely goes back to that house now, as long as he steps in, he seems to be able to hear Li Jicai's "giggle" laughter, or speak in his ear in a lazy tone, or make some messy food, or make trouble for him, coquettish and annoying.

Is this nostalgia just like? Is that what it feels like?

Qi Qingchu suddenly fell into confusion, he always seemed to be holding on to the memories of the past, always explaining his behavior of helping Li Jicai in various forms and for various reasons, but there seemed to be a voice in his heart telling him, and then reminding him not to deceive himself.

I have never cared so much about any woman, although Li Jicai is not the most beautiful, nor is she particularly talented, nor is she noble-born, nor is she superior to other women.

But it's just because I saw her, just because I saw her, so, so that's what I liked?

Qi Qingchu was very uncomfortable, crawling on his body like an ant and gnawing everywhere, making himself restless and making himself extremely tormented.

He, he didn't know what to do.

Maybe he should ask someone who understands this, but looking around him, he always feels that there are not many people around him who can see what he wants so far.

Xi Zien, who lingers in the flowers, is a big mouth, and he must not ask him, he must ask a very reliable person, and will not confuse him everywhere.

As soon as he thought of this, a figure appeared in Qi Qingchu's heart, he had already entered the officialdom, and his teacher had retired for two years, and now he was recuperating on Wusong Mountain outside the capital. In the past, I didn't have time to visit my teacher because of my busy schedule, but isn't this the best time to do it?

Bring gifts to visit the teacher, visit him, and talk to the teacher about his troubles by the way, after all, the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, maybe his teacher can give him ideas.

Qi Qingchu's teacher, Master Zhuo. used to be the prince and young master, and he was highly respected. It is quite prestigious in the literary world of Chu and has a pivotal position.

Qi Qingchu was fortunate to be taught by him, and he often felt honored.

Zhuo Taishi has been a legend all his life, and he will not be missing in the officialdom of Chu or in the literary world.

The exploits he has made have been recorded in the book one by one, and he has been praised and praised by others.

His official career is also climbing all the way, but when he is gradually getting old and mature, he still chooses to retreat bravely, and after making it clear to His Majesty, although His Majesty regrets it, he still lets Zhuo Taishi leave.

After exiting the court, Zhuo Taishi moved his family, and the place where they moved was not far away, just outside the capital, at the foot of Wusong Mountain.

But Zhuo Taishi himself likes to go back and forth to the mountains very much. There is a Taoist temple on the mountain, which is called Wusong Temple.

Later, Zhuo Taishi had close contacts with the people in the Taoist temple, and was influenced by them, and he felt quite at ease.

Qi Qingchu was also very happy about his mentor's situation in his old age. It's just that he is very busy with official duties on weekdays, and he has no time to visit Zhuo Taishi.

This year is a lot more leisurely than last year, and not long ago, I received a wood carving sent by my teacher.

It was carved by Zhuo Taishi himself, a majestic eagle. was carefully treasured by Qi Qingchu at home.

I don't care about the teacher when I want to be a student, but the teacher still remembers me as a student. I think I have no conscience.

Qi Qingchu pondered for a long time, and finally found a clear way for himself, and he couldn't help but let go of a lot in his heart, and even had some faint excitement.

He was still very excited to meet his teacher, and when the time came, he would tell his trusted teacher about his troubles, and the teacher would definitely solve his doubts.

Thinking of this, Qi Qingchu suddenly felt enlightened, and he was not so depressed, so he left this matter behind him for the time being.

Tomorrow, let's go on leave tomorrow!

Thinking that he had been asking for leave for a long time, His Majesty did not show any dissatisfaction, so Qi Qingchu also asked for leave with peace of mind.

Anyway, it is no surprise that His Majesty wants to regain the right to rectify the imperial court, so let him toss it casually, anyway, no matter how much he tosses this matter, it can't be tossed on Qi Qingchu's own body.

If it is a high achievement, it is still yourself who is troubled, and sometimes you still need to advance and retreat.

For now, the situation is stable, nothing can affect him, and Qi Qingchu doesn't have to worry too much.
