With such cautious words, Yang Qiqi asked lightly.

Murong Zhao, who was anxious to explain, immediately stopped.

After struggling for a moment, his eyes obviously became heavy, and his expression was extremely sincere, and he said solemnly: "I like you." As soon as the words came out, my heart became extremely worried. Because, for the first time, the direction of things was out of his control.

Yang Qiqi heard such a sincere and affirmative liking, and his heart pounded.

This is the first time that she has lived two lifetimes, and it is the first time that someone has said that she likes her so bluntly. Yang Qiqi's heart was surging, and he wanted to thank Murong Zhao. But the reason is desperately thinking about Wen Yaojia, Wen Yaojia, Wen Yaojia......

Yes, Wen Yaojia is a hurdle that Yang Qiqi can't get over in his heart. Also, her heart was very confused, and she couldn't even figure out what kind of feelings she had for Murong Zhao.

The smile froze on the corners of Yang Qiqi's eyebrows and eyes, and Murong Zhao could see her shock and helplessness at the moment.

"What about Xiao Qi? Does His Highness also like Xiao Qi? ”

Murong Zhao has told the truth, "Yes, I also like Xiao Qi." You are Xiao Qi. ”

"What if, I'm not Xiaoqi? So who do you like. The smile on Yang Qiqi's face gradually faded, and even the atmosphere around him became cold. Murong Zhao didn't reply immediately, and Yang Qiqi said with a little persecution: "What if, I let you forget Xiao Qi?" ”

Murong Zhao couldn't help frowning, and his good-looking eyes stared at Yang Qiqi without turning around. I wanted to find something in those foggy eyes. "Why ......"

"It's not just Xiao Qi, I may be too picky and bossy, if you want to like it, you can only like me. If His Highness can't even tell who he likes, then he likes it, and he doesn't like it. Yang Qiqi opened his mouth in a heavy voice.

Murong Zhao's mood was very complicated, he knew that Yang Qiqi didn't mean to embarrass him when he said this.

What's so difficult about taking only one scoop of weak water for 3,000? It's also very easy to live like the Liang Guogong Mansion.

What saddened him in his heart was Yang Qiqi's detached and unfamiliar attitude. She made him forget Xiao Qi, which was to let him erase the relationship in his heart that had been sympathetic to each other and depended on each other. She seemed to admit it, but she clearly erected a high barrier in front of him.

It's so close, but it's like it's thousands of miles away.

Seeing that he couldn't say a word, Yang Qiqi gently raised his hand and slowly pushed Murong Zhao's hand away from her. She lowered her head slightly, her long eyelashes drooped lightly, and said slowly: "Your Highness, your road is long, long, and the woman who will be with you in the future is not me." If I could, I would prefer to be your friend, your confidant, and such a relationship would be long-lasting and stable. Nothing will change easily. And like this kind of feeling, perhaps, say no, there is no more. ”

Murong Zhao was very sad by what she said, but he was speechless.

Yang Qiqi is like a hedgehog, desperately wrapping himself tightly. Murong Zhao approached step by step, and she retreated step by step. When he retreated to nowhere to retreat, he helplessly erected a stab on his back. Murong Zhao thought, if he stood farther away, slowly, and slowly approached her, would she let go of that layer after layer of mental defense?

He suddenly smiled at Yang Qiqi with relief and said, "If you prefer to get along like this, I don't have any opinion." ”

Yang Qiqi was originally a little nervous, but after hearing this, he was slightly relieved. But somewhere in my heart, there is a little loss.

She thought, fortunately, Murong Zhao's liking was not so serious. She knew that in his heart, no one could compare to Wen Yaojia, right?

Yang Qiqi tilted his head slightly, looked at his expression sideways, and saw that Fang Cai's low and solemn expression dissipated from his face. There was a clear smile on his face again.

Murong Zhao pondered Yang Qiqi's words about his friend, and slowly spoke as he walked, "In two days, I will leave Luoyang again." ”

"Is it still an errand in the five counties of Jiangnan?" Yang Qiqi was a little absent-minded, guessing that he should probably say goodbye and leave.

Murong Zhao smiled, "The errand of the five counties in Jiangnan was handed over to the thirteenth brother by my father. ”

Yang Qiqi suddenly realized, no wonder he hadn't seen the Thirteen Princes for several days, it turned out that he was left in Yuhang by Emperor Yonghui.

"This time, I went to the Xinwang Mansion in Wuling to be a marriage envoy." Murong Zhao said, suddenly thought of something, smiled at Yang Qiqi, and asked her, "Who do you guess I gave the marriage to?" ”

Yang Qiqi looked at his smile with high interest, stunned, and couldn't help but feel a little confused in his mind.

She seemed to remember that they had not had a very pleasant conversation just now. She seems to have just rejected him, according to Murong Zhao's personality, even if she is not annoyed and angry, she should walk away, right? But why is he still talking to himself so happily now? Did he really understand her?

Yang Qiqi blinked, although he knew that this time he was called a marriage envoy and gave marriage to Yuan Xian, but in fact, it was to test the king of letters. She smiled reluctantly and asked in agreement, "Is it someone I know?" ”

Murong Zhao smiled and said, "It's for Yuan Ziao's marriage." ”

Yang Qiqi sighed lightly, a little perfunctory in surprise. But before Murong Zhao could see anything, she changed her expression again and asked him, "Your Majesty asked you to give you a marriage, but is it because King Xin and the commander of the Qinling garrison have had a very secret matter?" ”

Murong Zhao felt that he had nothing to hide from her, and nodded.

Yang Qiqi remembered the tragic death of King Xin's family in his previous life, and couldn't help asking: "After the decree is announced, will you come back from Wuling?" ”

"Yes, but I'm afraid it's been more than a month back and forth."

Yang Qiqi was silent, not knowing whether to remind Murong Zhao or not. But what do you want to say? She can't tell Murong Zhao that King Xin is about to come into disaster, right? Thinking about it, her heart moved slightly, coughed, and said, "If King Xin and the commander of the Qinling garrison are responsible for others, will the whole family be killed and destroyed?" After Yang Qiqi said this, he felt that he seemed to believe in Murong Zhao too much. Maybe the Xinwang family was really destroyed by him?

Murong Zhao looked at her in surprise and asked, "Have you heard anything?" ”

Yang Qiqi shook his head, "No, I'm just, just thinking nonsense." In short, if you want people to know, you can't do it unless you do. If you go to Wuling this time, if you still can't find anything. Perhaps, think elsewhere. When Yang Qiqi said this, she felt that she had done her best to help King Xin.

At this time, the dawn is dawning. Suddenly, a loud and expansive bell rang.

Both of them stopped talking, and looked thoughtfully at the light in the sky.

After returning from the White Horse Temple, on the second day, Emperor Yonghui issued an edict to give marriage. Within a few days, Murong Zhao set off for Wuling.

Let's say that Yang Qiqi borrowed 15,000 taels of silver to Yang Jingjian before and after, and Mrs. Li obviously couldn't sit still.

Early this morning, as soon as Yang Qiqi finished breakfast, Yang Yuyan came to Shuying Building. After a few words of greeting with Yang Qiqi, she couldn't help but ask: "Seventh sister, the third brother said that you borrowed 15,000 taels of silver from him, is this true or false?" ”

Yang Qiqi smiled: "Naturally, it's true. ”

Yang Yuyan was extremely shocked and said, "Where did you get so much silver?" Don't take all your private property seriously! ”

Yang Qiqi shook his head again and again, and explained to her very patiently: "Then where do I dare, I only occasionally give the silver to my second senior brother." You know, their family is in business, and he's the best at it. I'll give him some small books, forget it if I lose it, and give me some if I earn it. ”

The He family is the leading rich man in Dayan, with a good business and a wealth that rivals the country. When Yang Yuyan heard that Yang Qiqi had entrusted the senior brother of the He family to take care of it, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help blurting out: "With such a small capital, you can have fifteen thousand taels of flowers, what kind of business is it?" ”

Yang Qiqi replied casually: "My senior brother's business, that's a lot, I never ask about this, I don't know much." She said, changed her words, and reminded Yang Yuyan: "The third brother is not doing jade ore trading? I also asked him to help me get into a job, the third sister is not as good as ......"

Without waiting for Yang Qiqi to finish speaking, Yang Yuyan chuckled disdainfully and said, "He, you let her go chicken and dog, he is good at it, and when it comes to business, forget it." I don't think it's as good as me! I'll warn you, you have to be careful. If all these fifteen thousand taels are folded into it, you will cry! Yang Yuyan's words were somewhat gloating.

Yang Qiqi smiled disapprovingly: "What's the big deal, I'm not short of silver, even if the third brother doesn't pay me back, it doesn't matter." Left and right is to do serious things. ”

Yang Yuyan couldn't listen to Yang Qiqi's words, said a few words casually, got up and said goodbye, and hurriedly went to Mrs. Li's main courtyard to talk to Mrs. Li about it.

At that time, Li Kangping's family was talking to Mrs. Li in the house.

"It's been these days, and the five girls are getting more and more energetic. In January, someone from Yaxing was found, and in February, the Changyi County Prince's Mansion sent five or six capable stewards and servants. This is to move to the ancestral house and build a kitchenette. After such a toss, the big house will be completely supported again. You say......"

Mrs. Li's face was gloomy, and she really couldn't figure out what went wrong with the cold food. Why is Yang Qinghuan still alive and kicking around, and he is like a child?

"Keeping her is like keeping a thorn, it's too dangerous. If she can't keep her wings stiff in the future, she won't make trouble with me again because of this incident. You keep an eye on the big house, and we'll find another chance. ”

Yang Yuyan entered the house from the outside at this time, and raised her voice: "Mother, mother! ”

Mrs. Li didn't want Yang Yuyan to know too much about Yang Qinghuan, so she hurriedly stopped talking.

Yang Yuyan walked into the house quickly, saluted Mrs. Li, approached her, and told Mrs. Li how Yang Qiqi had so much private money.
