Liu Qiqi had never seen such a special look, and it seemed that he could see through the layers of gauze brocade on her body and her flesh and skin at a glance. Hurriedly lowered his head, and his voice was choked: "My lord forgives me, just because my father never let me play the piano at home, saying that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, so I asked my cousin and asked her to take advantage of the absence of the prince of Yuyang in the mansion to secretly take me into the back garden, use the prince's piano, and practice the tune I learned secretly." ”

Liu Qiqi used such words to disguise herself as the daughter of a squire outside Yijing, she knew that with her own attire, if she lied and said that she was the daughter of a poor family, the people in front of her would definitely not believe it.

Jiang Yuan heard that she was crying, and she was a little distressed for no reason, so he stopped teasing her: "I see, if you say so, the girl is obsessed with practicing the piano, and it is understandable, I think the king of Yuyang will not blame you if he knows." ”

Liu Qiqi glanced at Jiang Yuan in a panic, and burst into tears: "Please don't mention this matter to the prince of Yuyang, if it is even if Cousin Qingfu is blamed by the prince, what face do I have to go home to see my father?" ”

Jiang Yuan knew that King Yuyang was not a harsh critic of his subordinates, so he comforted Qiqi and said: "The girl doesn't need to worry, it's just a temporary borrowing of the piano, even if the prince knows, he won't blame your cousin, if the prince knows that you play the piano so well, maybe he will be happy to learn the piano with you." ”

Jiang Yuan said this, but thought in his heart: I don't know if this little girl has met King Yuyang.

When Liu Qiqi heard this, he burst into tears instantly, like a pear flower with rain: "Adults must not let the prince know that I entered the back garden to play the piano, if my father knows that I broke into the palace without permission, he will be unhappy......"

When Jiang Yuan heard this, the scene of his childhood came to his mind, once upon a time, he was also trembling, secretly playing with the abacus given to him by his uncle, reading the travelogues of the countries in his cousin's study, and not daring to let his father find out, and later, when he found that he couldn't meet his father's expectations no matter what, he began to do the opposite unscrupulously.

Jiang Yuan was so distressed by a woman crying for the first time except for his mother, he only felt that although this cry was subtle, it shattered his internal organs, and hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to pat her back, through the silk satin, he faintly saw the snow on his shoulders but he was stunned, worried that his rough hands would break through such delicate skin, one hand stopped in mid-air without embarrassment, and hesitated: "Okay, okay, I won't tell the prince, don't cry." ”

Jiang Yuan secretly rejoiced as he spoke, it seemed that King Yuyang had never seen this little girl.

Liu Qiqi stopped crying, and raised a pair of big tearful eyes to look at Jiang Yuan: "Really? ”

"The eldest husband has made a word, and the horse is difficult to chase, how can I lie to you?" Jiang Yuan glanced at Xia Boyong, who was not far away, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he looked at himself and snickered.

"Thank you, sir." Liu Qiqi burst into tears and laughed.

Jiang Yuan looked at her, as if he had returned to his childhood, sitting in the courtyard for a long time, and finally waiting for the moonlight to penetrate the dark clouds. In my heart, I was helpless and joyful, thinking that this little girl, crying and laughing, was really like a little flower cat.

Jiang Yuan thought back to what she had just said, and suddenly noticed something, and asked, "You just said that the prince is not in the mansion?" ”

Liu Qiqi nodded: "Otherwise, Cousin Qingfu wouldn't dare to bring me in." ”

Jiang Yuan was puzzled, and said to himself: "Then why did Lord Xue say that the prince was in the back garden study and brought me in?" ”

Liu Qiqi was also strange: "Uncle Xu doesn't know or forgot." ”

"It's possible." Jiang Yuan nodded.

Liu Qiqi was afraid that not leaving in time would cause more right and wrong, so he wiped his tears with his sleeve and said: "I think the prince will come back soon, I still left quickly, thank you for keeping it a secret for me." ”

Jiang Yuan saw that Liu Qiqi turned around and wanted to leave, and hurriedly asked, "Having said that, how are you going to thank me?" ”

Liu Qiqi bit his lip and pretended to be helpless: "It's not that I'm not grateful to adults, just because I'm going to leave Beijing tomorrow and go home, and I ask my lords to forgive me." ”

Liu Qiqi turned around as he spoke, Jiang Yuan was unwilling, and asked in a loud voice, "Then tell me what your name is?" When I meet you in the future, I will thank you again......"

Liu Qiqi pretended not to hear, turned around and disappeared into the flowers and trees.

Xia Boyong took a step forward, and when he saw Jiang Yuan's stunned appearance, he couldn't help laughing: "Everyone says that the young master is an extremely smart person, and no one can subdue him, and now, the young master can be regarded as having met an opponent." ”

"There is no dignity in the eyes, you can be careful of your skin when you return home." Jiang Yuan glanced at Xia Boyong, his face was unhappy, but he was unreasonably happy in his heart, Liu Qiqi's smile appeared in his mind very clearly.

"Young master......" Xia Boyong called Jiang Yuan lightly.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Yuan's imagination was disturbed, and he was displeased.

Xia Boyong pursed his lips and smiled: "Young master, forgive me, I want to say, since the master is not at home, why don't we come back another day?" ”

"It's fine." Jiang Yuan sighed absentmindedly, and followed Xia Boyong out of the palace.

Jiang Yuan was worried about Liu Qiqi, and after lunch, he hurriedly came to the Yuyang Palace, and the King of Yuyang invited him to come and say that he had something important to discuss, but in fact it was just a disguise, so he took out a few calligraphy and paintings at random and asked him to appreciate them, Jiang Yuan was absent-minded. When King Yuyang saw it, he knew that the plan had succeeded, and Liu Qiqi, who was born beautiful and carefully nurtured by him, really fell in love with Jiang Yuan, who had been a businessman for many years and had read countless people. But in the heart of King Yuyang, while rejoicing, how can it not be sad?

Jiang Yuan left in less than an hour under the pretext of having something to do, and the king of Yuyang did not stop him. Sure enough, Jiang Yuan arrived at the gate of the palace, and when Xue Sheng led the horse over, he pretended to ask casually: "Lord Xue, I saw a young lady dressed in water blue enter your mansion this morning. ”

Even Xia Boyong, who grew up together since childhood, Jiang Yuan didn't want him to know his weakness, so he left Xia Boyong alone in the afternoon, just to be able to ask this sentence.

King Yuyang had already expected that after Liu Qiqi was bumped into by Jiang Yuan, he would deduce that he was a relative of his subordinates in a hurry, either Ruan Niang or Xue Sheng. Xue Sheng had already been instructed by King Yuyang on how to deal with it, first pondered for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Hou Ye is talking about Qiqi, she is the daughter of my cousin in Beijing, and she has been living in Beijing for the past two days." My cousin sent someone to pick her up before lunch, it stands to reason that Qiqi should never have left the house, why, Hou Ye has seen her? ”

Jiang Yuan was turning over on his horse, and when he heard the words, he inadvertently tightened the reins, the horse was restless and neighing, and was stabilized by Jiang Yuan's shouting a few times, and remembered to promise Qiqi to let others know that she had stolen into the palace, so he said: "I only saw a figure in the back street from afar, I don't know if it is from the adult's house, and the adult doesn't need to worry." ”
