Chapter 129: Birthday Invitation
Nan Xiang and He Chengze came outside, looking at the window and seeing that it was empty, Nan Xiang was very surprised, how could he run so fast.
"Someone ...... coming"
Before Nan Xiang could call someone to search the palace, he was interrupted by He Chengze on the side.
"It should be some kind of night cat and mouse, otherwise how could it be gone, I don't think there is any need to be so excited." He Chengze's eyes surrounded him and he spoke lightly.
"Brother Ze, didn't you see a black shadow just now, just outside the window, and that figure always feels very familiar to me, and it feels like I know each other." Although Jian Xi was alive in a flash just now, Nan Xiang still caught her shadow at that moment.
"Yes, I didn't see anything, let alone people, I think it should be an animal like a wild cat, are you making too much fuss, a little wind and grass thinks it's a big deal."
There was a bit of irony in He Chengze's words, but Nan Xiang was still worried, after all, if someone was really eavesdropping, it must be coming at him, if what he said to He Chengze just now was overheard, then ...... The consequences are unimaginable.
"You don't have to worry, you don't have real power in this palace, if you let others move the crowd to find a non-existent person so late now, and then it will be passed out, your identity will not only have no possibility of ascending to the throne, but will lose people's hearts."
Nan Xiang turned her head and looked at He Chengze with a look of surprise, she knew that He Chengze couldn't have no feelings for her at all, it turned out to protect herself.
Nan Xiang looked at him with a look of gratitude and adoration, and He Chengze's eyes flashed with disgust, but he still said lightly, "It's not early, you can go back." ”
Nan Xiang immediately nodded obediently and went back happily, since Jian Xi appeared, He Chengze's attitude towards himself has become even colder, does this mean that he still has a chance.
Nan Xiang went back happily in his heart, not noticing He Chengze's expression at all.
Seeing her leave, He Chengze raised his right foot and picked up a piece of candy paper under his leather boots, the expression on his face was unpredictable, but soon, he regained his indifference, took a long step, and set off towards the Imperial Era.
Jian Xi returned to the hotel, and sure enough, He Chengze hadn't come back yet, she immediately changed her clothes and lay down on the bed thinking about everything that had just happened.
Since He Chengze can be with Nan Xiang, it means that the purpose of his coming here must be related to the Y royal family, but what is he going to do?
Jian Xi tossed and turned, restless, although He Chengze was usually very good to himself, but for himself, he was just a passerby he met after being reborn, and he didn't expect anything to happen to him, and the intersection was also because of the task, but today he was with Nan Xiang, and his heart was inexplicably sour.
At this time, Jian Xi heard the sound of opening the door, it seemed that he was back, Jian Xi closed his eyes, covered his head in the quilt, and turned off the light.
He Chengze returned to the room, walked straight to Jian Xi's room, pushed open the door, but he didn't expect it to be pitch black, but he could see an arc on the bed by the moonlight, and fell asleep?
Jian Xi sat up angrily when she heard the sound of the door closing, and was about to turn on the light, but she didn't expect the door to be opened all of a sudden, He Chengze hugged his arms to his chest, leaned against the door, and looked at her with the corners of his mouth hooked.
"You ......" Jian Xi knew that he did it on purpose just now, it seemed that he knew that he hadn't slept, "What do you want to do, this is my room, I'm going to sleep, please go out." ”
Jian Xi said that he would get off the bed if he wanted to, and then pushed He Chengze, wanting to lock the door.
Who knew that he was grabbed by He Chengze's wrist when he shot, "Since they are all pretending to be asleep, don't continue to act in front of me." ”
Jian Xi's wrist was grabbed by him, and he wanted to break free but couldn't, so he gave up directly because he had no choice.
"Don't you have anything you want to ask me?" He Chengze let go of her wrist and asked lightly, his eyes kept staring at her expression, wanting to see something.
"No, what can I ask you, we do our own thing and don't interfere with each other." Jian Xi walked to the side of the bed and sat down directly, his face also tilted to the side.
"Really?" He Chengze played with the wrench in his hand, "But I have something to ask you, you haven't told me the purpose of coming to Country Y this time?" And why do you want to play in the palace so late, or do you have this sneaky habit? ”
"What palace, I don't know, my purpose is very simple, but I don't seem to tell you the reason, and you don't have a secret to come here yourself, or is it an excuse to come with me, you really want to see a woman here, right?"
Jian Xi originally just wanted to reply to He Chengze, but he didn't expect that he would say such a sentence that took away the vinegar, and he regretted it as soon as he said it.
He Chengze smiled, and then spread his right hand in front of Jian Xi, and there was a very familiar candy paper in his slender hand, "It's not the first time I've seen this!" ”
Jian Xi knew that he was exposed: "So what, even if it's me, it doesn't represent what I want to do, the palace is so big, I haven't been here, can't I want to visit?"
"Then why don't you ...... during the day"
"I don't have a pass during the day, I'm not you, I can go in if I want to, I don't have a pass as I, I can only visit at night."
Jian Xi directly interrupted He Chengze's question: "How is it, are you still satisfied with this explanation?"
"Satisfied? Do you think I'm pushing you? He Chengze sat next to Jian Xi and took out something similar to a ticket from his pocket.
"Well, would you be interested in going with me?"
Jian Xi was about to refuse, but when she read the words on the ticket clearly, she was taken aback, this is an invitation, the king of country Y is the day after tomorrow is his sixtieth birthday, and he will hold a ceremony in the palace.
"Why did your power develop here, does the king know you, or did you get this ticket by some means?"
Jian Xi was very surprised, it was Nanxiang's mother who cooperated with He Chengze, what does it have to do with the king?
"You're underestimating me, Jianxi." He Chengze stood up directly and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and said lightly, "Our He family is not only business, and we don't need so much military and political ability in Yongcheng, but it is extremely important here, I am just talking about cooperation with the king and developing military enterprises here." ”
Country Y is actually not as prosperous as Yongcheng, but the economy has developed rapidly in recent years, in fact, there are a large number of foreign-funded enterprises here, and the He family must have a huge force here.
Jian Xi looked at the invitation in his hand, this was a good opportunity for him to go in and complete the task, but He Chengze knew that what he said just now was false, why did he give himself this.
"You should have something important here, not just to participate in this so-called birthday ceremony, after all, you are a businessman, and the interests are great."
Jian Xi actually wanted to ask Nan Xiang and him about it.
"The most important thing is not to talk about cooperation, nothing else is important." He Chengze suddenly turned around, just blocking the moonlight outside the window, and his whole person was plated with a layer of silver edges by the light, looking like a demon from below.
"Of course, I still have to accompany you, but I have always remembered Aunt Lian's words."
"You ......"
Jian Xi saw that he was thinking about joking again, and his heart was panicked, did he really not know what he wanted to ask?
"Okay, then that's it, you inform me when the time comes, and I'll go with you."
He Chengze had long known that he would agree, so he didn't ask more, and was just about to step out of the door, but turned his head.
"By the way, because this banquet is a formal occasion, and it requires a female companion, I only took two tickets, then, I wronged you to dress up as a woman that day."
After He Chengze finished speaking, he closed the door without waiting for Jian Xi's answer and went out, he did it on purpose, that time the plan to verify whether Jian Xi was a woman failed in the end, so let him pretend to be a woman and try it.
And inside the door, Jian Xi heard that, and her face twitched slightly, a man dressed as a woman? This is clearly just fixing her, she is a woman and wants to do such a strange thing.
But in order to be able to get the bracelet smoothly and complete the task, it's up to her.
On the second day, Jian Xi woke up quite late, because he had already understood the terrain of the palace, and with He Chengze's ticket, there was no need for him to go again, just wait for the banquet a day later.
It's just that Jian Xi was just about to catch up on sleep, but was woken up by a "bang-bang" knock on the door, Jian Xi tried to calm the anger in his heart, got out of bed and opened the door.
"He Chengze, do you have a problem? Why wake me up early in the morning! Jian Xi rubbed her sleepy eyes and scolded.
"I don't have the heart to joke, are you going to wear it like this at tomorrow's banquet?" He Chengze showed a disgusted expression, "The clothes you bring are all men's clothes, this is not good, the people brought by our He family can't be laughed at." ”
Jian Xi looked at herself, sighed, and then stretched out her hand: "Give me the money, I'll buy a set myself."
He Chengze looked at the hand stretched out in front of him and looked at her speechlessly: "You really know how to plan the plate, and you don't want to spend a penny."
"Of course, I'm going for you, not because of myself, and it's your face that I will lose when the time comes." Jian Xi smiled slyly.
Seeing He Chengze's hand taken out of his pocket, his eyes gradually sparkled, but before he could see it clearly, he grabbed his hand: "I have to strictly control your clothes, I'll take you to buy them, so as not to be too low-end."
Jian Xi pulled out his hand: "Wait for me to clean up!"
Anyway, it's his money that is spent, and it's the same for him to go by himself.
Jian Xi went out with He Chengze after washing, but when he came out, He Chengze's jaw dropped in shock.
"What are you going to do with this outfit?"
Looking at the tightly wrapped Jian Xi in front of him, He Chengze twitched the corners of his mouth.
Jian Xi couldn't see his appearance at all, wearing a peaked cap, sunglasses, and a mask on his whole face, which he didn't know and thought he was a spy.
