Because of the conversation with Mr. Gu, Ruotang was even more determined to leave the Baili Wenhan Mansion.

It's just that I still have to talk to Chu Qianlan about this matter first.

In the evening, Ruotang sent Shiqin down to rest, leaving only Jixiang in the house.

took the book in his hand to pass the time, Ruotang was not sure. Will Xiao Min really come to tonight's date?

When it was almost the third watch, the candle flame in the house flickered gently, and the auspicious light that was originally standing in the shadow of the corner of the wall floated silently to the door like the wind.

Ruotang put down the book in his hand and raised his eyes to see that Xiao Min, who was auspicious at the door and was dressed in black, had already made no sound.

Seeing the inseparable appearance of the two fighting, it is estimated that it will not be her turn to talk to Xiao Min for a while, so she simply picked up the book again, drank tea and ate snacks comfortably - they played too fast, and she felt dizzy when she looked at it twice.

It took a long time for Ruotang to wait for the two of them to stop and enter the house. Upper and lower co-skills.

Xiao Min was dressed in black, and her eyebrows were more and more clear, and she made a manly fist salute to Ruotang. Sincerely praised: "This girl next to you." It's really skilled. If I hadn't been kept letting me, I wouldn't have been able to hold on until now. ”

Ruotang closed the book and sat up lazily from the soft couch, "Jixiang, Miss Xiao praised you, have you ever thanked others?" ”

Ji Xiang then looked at Xiao Min. He said with a glance: "Miss Xiao...... Well, the foundation is not bad either. ”

Xiao Min at night was more casual than during the day, and she didn't wait for Ruotang to invite her, so she dragged a chair and sat down, "You don't have to get up to entertain me, it's just that I came to disturb me at night, and then you get up to entertain me, and one day it will be known by His Highness the Seventh, I'm afraid that it will trouble me." ”

Since she said so, Ruotang didn't bother to be polite to her, and pointed to the tea that Fang had made for her while she was fighting with Jixiang, "I don't know what you like to drink." If you have the opportunity, you will treat Miss Xiao well next time. ”

Xiao Min smiled at her, took the teacup and took a sip, "Xueding Maojian - the last time I was lucky enough to drink this tea, it was in the palace of Concubine Shugui." I heard that this tea is only a catty of output a year, and Miss Shen's here is even more mellow and refreshing than the one in Concubine Shu's palace. ”

"Why should Miss Xiao be tempted?" Ruotang smiled faintly: "My grandfather's family is the richest man in the south of the Great Chu River, didn't you already know this?" My brother-in-law has always refused to wronged me when it comes to food and clothing. And the snow-roofed hairy tip in Concubine Shugui's palace was also bought by the imperial merchants of Liuguo from the Zhou family and then presented to Concubine Shugui, so naturally it was not as good as what my brother-in-law specially left for me. ”

Xiao Min sighed sincerely: "Although my mother's family is not strong, but with my uncle's family as a backer, Miss Shen's blessing is also envied by others." ”

Ruotang heard this. He raised his eyebrows and looked at her in surprise: "Miss Xiao envy me?" ”

"Surprised?" Xiao Min stroked the edge of the teacup slowly, and chuckled: "What's so surprising about this, Miss Shen has a lover who is deeply affectionate to her and wants to save your life at any cost, a relative who takes care of her wholeheartedly and holds all the good things in front of you, and a confidant who has always been in love with her...... That's it, Miss Shen probably doesn't want to hear this, so I won't talk about it. ”

She stopped her mouth in amusement, and got a light smile that Ruotang didn't care about, "Then does Miss Xiao know that the lover who has a deep affection for me was eager to kill me at the beginning?" The relatives I took care of wholeheartedly have not been in contact for more than ten years because of indebtedness? As for the confidant who has always been in love with me, he also calculated and coerced me? No one's life is born perfect to be enviable, and the man who has a deep affection for me is what I have in exchange for my deep affection. The relatives who took care of me wholeheartedly were also the confidants I bought with my heart, and I had a deep affection for me. ”

These things of hers that Xiao Min envied were all earned by her sincerity and hard work, not falling from the sky and hitting her in vain! She hates ignorant others the most to look at her with the kind of "what are you good about, why can your life be so perfect". But thinking about it, she and Xiao Min are not familiar to such a point, and after saying so much, it seems that she is too serious.

Xiao Min listened, but fell silent thoughtfully.

After a moment, she raised a sincere apologetic smile and said to Ruotang, "I'm sorry, I was too arbitrary. ”

"Nothing." She apologized bluntly, which made Ruotang a little embarrassed, "It's good that Miss Xiao doesn't think I'm verbose." ”

"I did look down on you." Xiao Min said seriously, "You are not a very smart person, and you don't have amazing means, why can you make so many people willing to be good to you and pay for you?" But I'm narrow-minded, and I should apologize to you for my narrow-mindedness, so you don't have to excuse yourself. ”

Although he knew that he didn't have a few pounds and a few taels, but being said so clearly, the corners of Ruotang's mouth twitched, "Okay, I accept your sincere apologies." ”

This person came at night, could it be that he deliberately attacked her?

That's too boring, isn't it?

"Miss Shen is open-minded, and she is indeed much more comfortable than ordinary women."

Ruotang's eyelids jumped, what is this, after destroying people, will you give her a sweet date to eat? "It's my honor to make Miss Xiao feel comfortable."

The atmosphere that was originally a little weird also became harmonious because of these words.

"I came here with a leak, in addition to wanting to see what kind of person Miss Shen is, I also want to discuss something with you." Xiao Min pushed the teacup in his hand in front of Ruotang, only knocked on the rim with the lid of the cup, and motioned to Ruotang, the owner, to refill the water for her.

Her unceremonious attitude made Ruotang Wan'er, and said while refilling the tea for her: "It just so happens that I have a question that I have been curious about for a long time, I wonder if Miss Xiao is willing to solve my doubts?" ”

"It's about me and His Royal Highness, right?" Xiao Minte looked at her calmly, without any shyness and reserve of a woman.

Ruotang raised her eyebrows and looked at her, since the parties were not uncomfortable, she was naturally a lot more casual: "Is it convenient to talk about it?" ”

"I'm sure you've heard people say that His Royal Highness Eight became stupid when he was a child due to an illness, right?" Xiao Min asked lightly, and seeing Ruotang nodding, Fang Cai continued: "Actually, it's not because I'm sick, it's because I pushed him down the rockery and broke his head." He woke up after three days of stupor, and I was so nervous that I thought I was going to die, but thankfully, he had become a fool and had forgotten how he had been hurt. ”

She paused and raised her eyes to look at Ruotang.

Ruotang resisted the urge to twitch at the corners of her mouth, and concluded for her: "So you're guilty because of it?" ”

"At first, then—" Xiao Min looked away at the slightly flickering candle flame, "Later, I felt that there was nothing wrong with this, it was better to be with a fool than to fight with people who wanted to die or live." ”

Ruotang laughed, and his voice was so light that it would scatter into the air if he didn't pay attention to it: "The Eighth Prince is really a fool?" I'm afraid it may not be. ”

Xiao Min quickly turned his face, his dark pupils tightened violently, and his originally lazy eyes revealed a sharp and cold feeling, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Ruotang was originally just a temptation, and Xiao Min's nervous look made her confirm her guess, "Although the Eighth Prince can fool so many people, and even can fool Concubine Shugui, there must be his way." It's just that I've seen what a real fool looks like, so when I see the Eighth Prince, I always feel very disobedient. Of course, I used to think this casually, but now, you let me confirm that my casual thinking turned out to be true. ”

In fact, when she first saw the Eighth Prince, Ruotang didn't suspect him, but later, she tricked the Eighth Prince into playing hide and seek, telling him not to alarm others to bring Chu Qianlan over. As a result, he really brought Chu Qianlan over, and the only one who was alarmed was probably Xiao Min who appeared behind. It's just that she was busy talking to Chu Qianlan at the time, and she didn't think about it deeply. Later, she had to deal with Concubine Shugui, and the imperial doctor had to think about it all kinds of things, so naturally she didn't have time to think about it, until she saw the two of them strolling on the street, Ruotang began to re-examine and evaluate the eighth prince.

Xiao Min stared at Ruotang for a long time, Ruotang tried to put on a harmless face and let her see.

After a while, Xiao Min retracted his gaze: "I think I want to retract what I said just now - you are smart and have the means." ”

"Actually, I'm really not smart, and some of them are just a little clever." Ruotang is very modest, "In front of Miss Xiao, this little cleverness is really difficult to get into the hall of elegance." ”

"Before I came, I thought it was me who had the advantage." Now that Ruotang has caught such a fatal handle, it is impossible for Xiao Min not to be depressed.

When she said this, she directly admitted that the Eighth Prince was her weakness.

Ruotang was a little surprised, after all, how could an experienced person like Xiao Min admit his weaknesses so easily? Isn't this putting your own handle in the hands of someone else? "Miss Xiao is so ...... It's really surprising to be honest. ”

"That's because I have a lot of chips in my hand." Xiao Min smiled slightly, "And this is exactly what I want to discuss with you tonight." ”

"Miss Xiao, please speak."

"I think you've already guessed that Concubine Shu deliberately wanted to point me out to His Highness the Seventh." She paused for a moment, saw that Ruotang was not surprised on her face, only nodded lightly, and then continued, "Although this is not what I want, if he comes down with a holy decree one day, even if everyone is unwilling, I can only marry His Seventh Highness and be his Seventh Imperial Concubine." ”

"So?" Ruotang knocked on the table and asked pretending not to care.

"I think the most unwilling of them is you, Miss Shen, right?" Xiao Min's dark eyes were bright, and he looked at Ruotang with confidence.
