Chapter Twenty-Three: An Urgent Summoning in the Palace

I wonder what he will write on the note this time? He took off the note, pulled the rope, got up and put on his clothes, packed up and sat down at the table, waiting for Ning Ze to come in through the window.

The note read: "Ning Ze, can you enter?" ”

Although the handwriting is beautiful, such a note should not be left around, so he lit a candle and threw it into the remaining tea cup on the table in front of him.

Qi Shu poured two cups of tea, one for Ning Ze and one for herself.

Ning Ze saw such a scene when she turned in through the window, seeing that she ignited the note she wrote, and then threw it into the tea cup cleanly, her expressionless appearance looked a little cold under the shaking of the candle flame.

When he fell to the ground, Qi Shu raised his face and smiled softly: "The prince is coming, Qi Shu has lost his welcome and is neglected." This look was almost the same as that of her just now, and the change made him feel shocked.

"No need, I'm here today for ......" I smelled that the smell of medicine in the room was a little pungent, but there was no dirty smell, Qi Shu's room was simple and tidy, and he didn't like ornaments.

"Huh?" Why did you stop halfway through?

Ning Ze stared at her, wanting to speak and stopped. In fact, he wanted to tell her that he was here to return the things, the green jade pendant in his arms and the big jade that Qi Shu temporarily lent him that day, but why, he couldn't say anything when the words came to his mouth.

He had an inexplicable premonition, as if after returning all these to her, the only remaining relationship between Qi Shu and him would be cut off, thinking of her cold and unfamiliar expression just now, Ning Ze shuddered a little.

"It's nothing, the matter has been done, and now the trend of public opinion in Shaoliang City is no longer biased towards the Fang family." Ning Ze calmly sat down in front of Qi Shu, said unhurriedly, picked up the quilt on the table and took a sip lightly, it was warm, and the entrance was just right.

"So, thank you Lord Wang, you have helped me out of the siege again and again, Qi Shu is grateful."

If you feel grateful, don't be so defensive of me, I'm not a bad person, and I secretly slander in my heart.

"Your roof?" He was embarrassed to say that he had tiled her roof and made a hole, and that it was a little sinful to be windy and rainy.

Qi Shu was obviously stunned, he didn't expect him to say this suddenly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl, yes, last time Ning Ze suddenly ran over and "threw tiles to ask for directions", her roof is still leaking, fortunately, there has been no rain or snow in the past two days.

"I'll make it up." Nodding his head to signal his reassurance.

Half an hour later.

Ning Ze breathed a sigh of relief, and looked up at Qi Shu slightly, his angular face was clearly suspicious, as if he was saying why didn't he speak? The gaze that came was quite oppressive, since the words have been finished, let's leave quickly, what are you doing looking at her like this, the atmosphere is suddenly a little deadlocked.

"You ......"

"You ......"

"I ......"

"I ......"

Both men spoke at the same time, but they also stopped at the same time.

"Lord Wang, please speak." Qi Shu smiled slightly.

"Looks like he's almost better." The spirit and spirit are much better, much better than the last time he came to see her face as white as paper, and she fell down when she blew it, but in fact, what he wanted to ask was that he heard that you vomited? Or did you vomit because you heard the name of Kanfang Jie?

"Well, thank you for your concern, it's almost fine."

"Fox Qiu to you, rumors to help you, there are two words of thanks on the left and right, does it seem that the sincerity is insufficient, Miss Qi?" The fingers pinching the tea cup were slightly forced, the drooping eyelids and stiff gaze fell on the tea soup, and the two words of worry almost broke out of the chest.

This seems to be a ridiculous but offensive word,

But Qi Shu didn't realize it at all, he was stunned when he heard Ning Ze's words, tilted his head and thought for a while, pursed his lips and plucked up his courage and said: "The Midyear Festival is coming, why don't I invite the prince to eat at that time?" ”

During the Midyear Festival, His Majesty granted a ban for three days, and the women of the boudoir who are usually not allowed to show their heads indiscriminately can also go out to celebrate the Midyear Festival like men, which is one of the favorite festivals of women.

Qi Shu is naturally the same, of course it is impossible to let go of this opportunity, and he has been sick for so long, it is time to go out and let off the wind or something.

So, is this her taking the initiative to ask him out?

Ning Ze's heart suddenly fluttered, and he wanted to nod when he was busy, but he still had to be calm and serious on his face, pretending not to care. Although he didn't know why he was holding it.

I'm afraid she knows, I'm afraid she doesn't know, I'm afraid she will refuse, I'm afraid she won't refuse.

Ning Ze felt like meat on the chopping board, and Qi Shu was the one who did the knife.

"It just so happens that I have nothing to do that day, so let's call Anan along." Ning Ze couldn't help but applaud his performance, none of the scenes on the stage he could play, his face was calm and waveless, and his heart was magnificent.

If the world knew that the elegant, handsome, noble and alienated King Guanghan was actually like this, I don't know if my jaw would fall in shock.

Qi Shu nodded noncommittally in agreement.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, some of the two of them didn't say a few words, and in the end there was really no way, Ning Zecai was a little unwilling but didn't dare to show it, stood up and straightened out his clothes, ready to leave calmly.

Obviously, it was really obvious, he clearly saw Qi Shu's relieved appearance, it seemed that he wished he would leave quickly, this Ning Ze was not happy, was she so wary of him? Can you still eat her?

She wanted to drive him away, but he wouldn't let her agree.

"Refill!" A confident tone.

Seeing that Ning Ze stood up and was about to leave through the window, Qi Shu was ready to send off the guests, but he didn't expect to come with a sentence of "refill the cup" when he came??? Qi Shu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Ning Ze.

What does it feel like to be in seconds, Ning Ze was a little flustered in his heart, coughed twice and said that he still had something to do, so he didn't bother much.

Slipped away.

Staying in the boudoir woman's room for so long is indeed more than just a nuisance, it is very excessive.

Ning Er and Ning Si, who were squatting outside, were still muttering, it seemed that the prince and the eldest lady of the Qi family should be quite able to talk this time. ,

When Ning Ze came out, he saw this picture, two big men squatting on the ground muttering and not knowing what they were talking about.

He wandered in front of the two of them, hiding his slightly flustered thoughts, and then went back as if nothing happened, leaving his two men there.

The people in the Qi Mansion were all asleep, and naturally they didn't know anything about what was happening in Qi Shu's room, and if they knew, they would probably have to set off a bloody storm.

Qi Shangshu's dream is in full swing, and it is when he is being promoted to become wealthy, and he wakes up from his dream.

There are still two days left in the rest period, and I didn't get up in a panic, but I didn't expect that someone would come to the palace early in the morning. Qi Shangshu was in a panic, he jumped down from the couch when he received the news from his subordinates, hurriedly dressed, dragged his shoes and ran out.

For Qi Qin, it was a great sin to make the people from the palace wait for a moment longer.

When passing by the corridor, the attendant had already broken the basin of water and held a handkerchief to wipe Shangshu's face, and the maids took the opportunity to tidy up and down his clothes.

The bronze mirror shone up and down in front of him several times, and after confirming that there were no mistakes or omissions, Qi Shangshu rushed towards the foot of the main hall.

The person who came was the eunuch who was often sent by His Majesty's side, Gonggong Li. said that he served His Majesty when he was a child, and he was one of the few people who spoke to him in front of him, Qi Qin really did not work in vain, and the "faΓ§ade" was responsible for the rules and regulations of the station, and greeted the distinguished guests with great enthusiasm.

"Oh, Grandpa Li! There is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome! I was dealing with affairs at the time, and I didn't think that the guests couldn't come in time, so please don't mind. "The upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, no wonder the maids and servants below are fluttering when they speak, and they dare to be affectionate.

Gonggong Li glanced at Qi Qin with disdain, the smell of mouthwash was clearly just washed up, and he was lying, people didn't run fast, this fart was quite fast, and when he was at the gate of the mansion just now, the little dozen or so people were neatly crowded there and smiled at you, panicking.

"It's not a big deal, Qi Shangshu shouldn't be nervous." Gonggong Li deliberately said half of his words to whet his appetite.

Qi Shangshu was really like a frightened rabbit, and hurriedly approached Gonggong Li carefully, then took out the things in his sleeves, and handed them to Gonggong Li with his wide sleeves.

Gonggong Li looked like "you know very well", and the evil smiled evilly, exuding the charm of neither men nor women, which made the people around him "panic".

"It's nothing special, Your Majesty asked me to bring a message and ask you if the eldest lady of the Qi family has recovered? If you are cured, you will go to face the saint, and if not, the imperial doctor in the palace can help diagnose and treat it. ”

"This ......" Qi Shangshu wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead, he didn't go to Qi Shu's room yesterday, saying that he vomited, but he said that his illness was almost better, so he didn't know if it was good or bad.

But one thing Qi Shangshu knew in his heart was that it was impossible for His Majesty to ask to see Qi Shu for no reason, this evasion was not, nor was it a promise, and he was a little embarrassed in an instant.

What His Majesty can ask about this matter at the moment is nothing more than the recent rumors in Shaoliang City, but this matter is a matchmaker made by His Majesty from beginning to end, and there is no way to withdraw from the marriage, so it can only be said that this party betrayed first.

Of course, he only dared to say these things in private, and he definitely didn't dare to say them on the table.

Gritting his teeth, Qi Qinxin chopped his feet sideways and chopped down, saying that Qi Shu would arrive later. In any case, even if it is at the expense of a daughter, he cannot lose his favor in front of His Majesty. After fighting in the court all these years, Qi Qin thought that he was still more or less a confidant minister in His Majesty's heart.

Gonggong Li watched Qi Shangshu's face change faster than turning a book, and finally promised to send Qi Shu to the palace as if he had made some major decision. This is exactly the same thing that His Majesty said when he told him before.

His Majesty said: "He will definitely agree, and you will bring that eldest lady of the Qi family into the palace in a little while." ”

Although I have heard a little about the name of Qi Shangshu of the Qi family, I didn't expect that when I saw it today, it was like, no, and there were even some rumors of catching up.

Shaoliang City pats the horses and welcomes them, even if the Qi family recognizes the top three, they have to recognize it if they don't recognize it.

This Qi Shangshu is really willing to give up for the sake of holy favor, and he doesn't ask anything, he directly sends his daughter to the palace, and he is not afraid of folding it inside, is this biological?

Think about the cause and effect of this, if Your Majesty is angry, it will be a corpse bleeding, such a famous lady in Shaoliang City, if she gave her life in vain for this unwarranted disaster, it would be a pity, fortunately, His Majesty's face is not to be punished.

"In that case, then the Sprinkle family will wait a minute, and wait for the eldest lady of the Qi family to pack up and go with me, Qi Shangshu, please?" It means urging Qi Qin to hurry up and call someone.

Now it's Qi Qin's turn to be dumbfounded, this, isn't it, so anxious?

He still has a lot of experience that he has not taught to Qi Shu, and he has not explained what to pay attention to etiquette, and more importantly, he has not said hello to Qi Shu when Qi Shu got married without permission, and let Qi Shu take the initiative to clear up the relationship, she ran away by herself, it was all her own trip, and it had nothing to do with the Qi family.

He didn't say anything, Qi Qin was categorically unwilling to let Qi Shu leave in a daze.

"Or, father-in-law, have you had breakfast? I will now send for a feast. ”

Qi Shangshu wants to stall for time? Hmph, it's not that easy, Gonggong Li sneered in his heart.

"No, the Sprinkle family is not hungry, Qi Shangshu is better faster, don't delay the time, make Your Majesty unhappy, you and I will suffer!" The smell of threat is already very obvious.
