The expression on his face was as gentle and gentle as Ruoping had predicted for him.

"Well, busy." Qi Qingchu's eyes did not leave the scroll, and he was still very focused on the book in his hand.

"No matter how busy you are, don't be tired, it's more than worth the loss, you say, right?"

"Put."

There are familiar things to say, there are farts, Xi Zien is used to what he said in front of Qi Qingchu being regarded as.

"I received a letter of invitation saying that I was invited to be a guest, don't you know?" Xi Zien deliberately distanced himself from Qi Qingchu, worried that he would be injured by mistake.

"Huh? I really don't have the eyesight to see it. Qi Qingchu's thin lips spit out a few words, refusing to say anything more, and not asking who invited him.

"Indeed, the Li family sisters and brothers are troublemakers, I ran for them so much some time ago, and it is also appropriate to invite me to dinner."

Qi Qingchu understood this, Xi Zien ran to him to show off, after all, he didn't help Xi Zien under Xi Zien's instructions before. But now Li Jicai and they didn't thank themselves, but thanked Xi Zien, who had nothing to do with this matter, which also made him feel funny, plus what happened last night, Li Jicai is now not only watery Yang Hua but also ungrateful in his heart.

"Hmm." Qi Qingchu's face did not change, and he replied lightly, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

"Come with me?" Xi Zien proposed.

"I wasn't invited, so why should I go?" Qi Qingchu's face did not change and his heart did not beat, but the action of slightly clenching the corner of the book revealed his emotions.

He was not a person who cared about these little things, but he was disappointed in the relationship between the Li family and the siblings, as well as their approach.

"Alas, in fact, you can figure it out, who let you usually take care of everything, there are so many things, even if I want to invite you, I don't dare to invite you, and every time I come to Suiyuanju, I don't pull you here, or you can go with me."

Xi Zien had to admit that he was pretending to be fake and generous at this time, in fact, he saw the content of the invitation letter clearly, and the other party had clearly stated that he would only entertain him alone.

So when he says this now, he also concludes that Qi Qingchu will not go with him.

That is to say, kind words.

"Really? Hmph, in this case, I'm going to sell your face, right? Qi Qingchu couldn't help but have a sneer in his words.

Even according to Xi Zien, they know him very well, and in the same way, he knows them very well.

Looking at the flickering look in Xi Zien's eyes, he knew that he was lying at this moment.

"Qingchu, of course I'm sincere, if I don't say that, it's still important to you, if you can't be free, then there's no way to do it, and the food cooked by Li Jicai is not delicious, it's not to your taste."

How did Xi Zien feel that Qi Qingchu seemed to have changed direction all of a sudden, and it sounded like he was going to go with him.

Heck, he's just, he's just, right, admit it.

"When, Lantern Festival? I'm free these days, and it's okay to go with you, just in time to see what happened to the woman who cried and shouted all day that she had been in prison with me for more than two months. ”

"This ...... Qingchu, this is not good, you also know Li Jicai's virtue, he is not likable and can't speak, and he is angry when he goes. ”

"Oh? You know her well. Why, does the son of the dignified state mansion also associate with this inferior person? Although Xi Zien usually doesn't show his attitude towards civilians, in fact, Qi Qingchu can still see that he cherishes his feathers very much, and he is still quite careful about mixing with civilians.

Li Jicai happens to be an exception, or just the two have a similar temper, or Li Jicai really likes the food he cooks.

"Qingchu, it's not like you said that, Li Jicai, it's good for me to look at it."

"Well, that's fine as you say."

"Ah, yes."

"Noon or night."

"Of course it's at night, what's the point of going to dinner during the day? In the evening, after eating during the Lantern Festival, you can also go shopping...... Hey, no, do you really want to go with me? ”

"Didn't you just say it?"

"When? How did I not know? Xi Zien was stunned in an instant, how could he become like this when he was talking so well?

Qi Qingchu saw his expression from the gap, and laughed in his heart, this product came to him without a brain, and it was easy for him to be put in.

Although he didn't think of Li Jicai's home at first, Li Jiye's affairs had to make him take precautions.

As for Li Jiye's private meeting, it is very likely that he met the Yan people, and he has already reported it to Emperor Gao De.

Emperor Gao Dedi meant to keep a close eye on Li Jiye, and it was okay to kidnap him if necessary.

In any case, they must keep him in their hands as a capital bargaining chip, so that they can still win in the game with Yan Guo.

According to their latest news, the eldest prince and the second prince of the Yan Kingdom have fallen one after another, which means that there is no successor to the current Yan Kingdom.

Li Jiye, the third prince, is likely to become the heir to the throne of the Yan Kingdom.

It is also strange to say that the first three sons of Emperor Yan were all princes, but after this third one, all the princesses were born.

But in this battle for succession, it is the eldest prince and the second prince who are the most ferocious.

The eldest prince is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the throne has been firmly in his hands, but he can't bear the loneliness, and desperately wants to pull down the current emperor so that he can inherit the throne as soon as possible.

This practice caused the dissatisfaction of the Emperor of Yan, and before he died, his son was thinking about his throne.

So, he thought of a partial move, focusing on his second son, so that the world thought that he might abolish the crown prince and then pass on the throne to the second prince.

This approach did stabilize the prince at the beginning, and the prince was honest for a long time.

But after a long time, the second prince is not a fool, he found that his father was only using himself to contain the crown prince, and he did not really want to give him the throne at all.

So, he also got into trouble with a grudge.

This is making a fuss, and somehow it has become a competition between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Prince.

The old emperor of the Yan Kingdom was no longer afraid.

Originally, the competition between these two princes had entered an extremely fierce stage.

Li Jiye, the third prince of Yan Kingdom, escaped from the palace overnight in order not to let himself be implicated.

Who knew that he was exiled all the way to the Chu State, just escaped from the tiger's den, and entered the wolf's den again. That's for another time.

However, when the Yan Kingdom was at its most turbulent, at this time, a new minister in the court, Luo Shu, stood up.

As the so-called snipe and clam compete, the fisherman wins.

When the crown prince and the second prince were defeated, Luo Shu reorganized the court of Yan by turning the tide, and stood by the side of the old emperor of Yan with dignity.

The turmoil in the inner court also returned to calm, and life inside and outside the palace was like a strong wind passing through, and when the wind passed, everything was settled.

However, it took more than two years during this period.

Now, there is no new prince born in the Yan Kingdom.

If the old emperor of Yan State doesn't want his own just to inherit the throne, he can choose the best and the best.

Although the royal family does not care about the relationship between the lineage, the old emperor of Yan does not intend to give the throne to outsiders, even if it is a son who he doesn't like, but he still has decades to live, and those things will go with them after he dies.

But if Yan Chengli, that is, the third son of the old emperor of Yan State, is gone, then Emperor Yan Guoyan will really be dead.

This is also the reason why he asked Luo Shu to get him back as much as possible.

How difficult is it for the huge Chu State to find a person but a person who deliberately hides his heart?

In addition, someone deliberately erased his traces, so when it comes to finding it, it is even more difficult.

If it weren't for Luo Lianfang's affair, Li Jiye was actively exposed, then it is very likely that Li Jiye would not be found by them for the rest of his life.

Qi Qingchu never thought that his methods of concealing people would fail.

There are too many Blame Pig teammates.

So in the end, Qi Qingchu must have personally approached Li Jiye to see if he could make any new discoveries.

It wasn't enough for Ruomi to keep an eye on them, he had to throw some bait.

If Li Jiye is touched, it means that there must be something greasy in it, or his own weakness.

If not, then consider whether other forces are approaching him, or if they are luring something.

After all, Li Jiye's identity as the third prince of the Yan Kingdom is indeed accurate.

Xi Zien didn't expect that because of his nonsense, he really moved Qi Qingchu.

You must know that he doesn't even need to mention this in normal times, Qi Qing had already kicked him out at the beginning.

At this moment, Xi Zien regrets it, isn't this lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot!

He's really just talking about it!

Qi Qingchu can't take it seriously!

He's really wronged!

The dumb eats coptis, I don't know if Li Jicai will be angry with him when he leads people over?

Although he doesn't care if a civilian is angry with him, if he doesn't match the goofs at that time, won't it seem that he has a swollen face and is fat?

In life, who is not good at saving face?

It's really too late, Qi Qingchu looked at his playful eyes, and Xi Zien knew it.

"It's the Lantern Festival, that is, tomorrow night, you and I will go out when it gets dark, you come to my house, and you won't wait to know it, right?"

Xi Zien thought that Qi Qingchu was late at that time, so he slipped away in advance.

In this way, he went to Li Jicai's house first, Qi Qingchu couldn't catch up, and if he missed it, he missed it.

"No, if you walk in front of your house, you will take a long detour and meet directly at the door of her courtyard.

This time, don't bring any idle people, etc., so as not to cause any disputes, and pay more attention not to make a big show. ”

"Huh? ……”

"Ah what? But what are your opinions? Qi Qingchu put down the book and chatted with him for so long, but he didn't read a word, so he simply stopped reading it.

"No, no, no, no opinion." Even if there were, he didn't dare to say it.

The previous thing was indeed because of the chicken feathers he provoked, but he didn't mean it, no.

The past is over, and he coaxed him first during this time, after all, he will rely on him to take care of him in the court soon.

Sometimes, Xi Zien feels that he is inexplicably a little doglegged.

"Since it's decided, then so be it, you go back first." Qi Qingchu began to pick people up generously.

He still has a lot of things to arrange, and it will be inconvenient for Xi Zien to be here all the time.

There are some things that he can naturally participate in, but there are some things that he can't be involved in.

"Every time you run out of people, you will be driven away, if you marry a wife, then you are a merciless lord."

"Yes, if there are many beautiful girls in your family, I wonder if your body can still bear it?" Qi Qingchu said half-jokingly and half-teasingly.

As soon as he heard this, Xi Zien was really blushing, and then said sticky: "And as you said, you haven't married a wife, you don't know the beauty of women, if you marry a wife, then you will know the taste." ”

"Come on, I don't want to hear you, your beautiful lady is still waiting for you yourself, don't bother me."

A woman's taste, a woman's beauty?

Is there any woman around him who can get into his eyes?

It's either vain or pretentious.

It's either scheming or stupid and shallow.

Where did he look down on those women? It's good if you don't hate it, let alone like it.

When Xi Zien wanted to say something more, Qi Qingchu directly waved his hand twice.

This is his standard habit, and the signal is to give an ultimatum.

Therefore, Xi Zien had to obediently retreat, and then reluctantly went out of the house.

He didn't know why he did it, he came in with a letter, he was the one who was confident.

As a result, there was no piece of armor left behind, and the beating fell into flowing water, and the armor was discarded, which was very embarrassing.

Qi Qingchu is Qi Qingchu, he fights with him, if it weren't for the other party to let him, he would have no chance of winning at all.

Even if you can't talk about him, you can't talk about him. It's always longer than him if he thinks about it.

Fortunately, when he was in the court, Qi Qingchu was more or less guarding him, and Xi Zien felt that he was not a loss.

After all, among the younger generation of ministers, there are many factions, and he has made a good fortune with Qi Qingchu and occupies an invincible position.

Xi Zien's own father sometimes sighs that Qi Qingchu's vision is old and spicy, he knows people very accurately, and he walks the court like a fish in water.

Even if Xi Zien learns this every day after following Qi Qingchu, it will not be a loss to learn that.

When he walked outside, the housekeeper Ruoping had already greeted him with a smile.

That time, his son-in-law would not have more than a cup of tea, and he was almost about to send someone away.

Childe has always hated socializing, but every time Qi Qingchu forced himself to deal with some difficult ministers.

In fact, the official family's food is not so delicious, and Qi Qingchu himself has a deep understanding of it.
