Xia Li saw that Chu Ye meant that he was waiting for her deliberately, so he glanced at Qingyi and Chu Han and said, "You go there and wait for me."

Chu Han had seen Chu Ye a few times, and he didn't say anything obediently, but Qingyi said softly in his mouth, "Huh! ”

Xia Li's steps retracted, looked at Qingyi and said, "Do you know him?" ”

Qingyi smiled: "Who doesn't know the famous second prince of Dachang?" It's just that I haven't seen this person in a long time."

Xia Li thought about it for a while, and said: "You can also see the second prince in the palace."

Qingyi nodded, "When the second prince was six or seven years old, he was very intelligent, won the sacred heart, and often went to the emperor's imperial study to play."

"Oh!" Xia Li asked Qingyi a few words out of curiosity, but seeing that Chu Ye had been looking at her there, she knew that this person must have something to say.

"I'll go back when I go, you and Chu Han don't walk there and wait for me for a while"

"Good" lightly dressed obediently went to the side with the early cold.

Xia Li walked over on his own and said, "Are you looking for me?" ”

Chu Ye nodded.

"How do you know I'm going to come out"

"Just by chance"

"Coincidentally? I don't believe it," Xia Li looked at the person, and said indifferently.

"What if you don't believe it?" Chu Ye is naturally authentic.

"It can't be anything, it's just that people are very suspicious of your character" Xia Li can only take advantage of it verbally, and there is really no way to deal with this person.

Chu Ye didn't care, "My character doesn't need to be questioned by others, and it has nothing to do with others"

This is said to be extremely domineering, but Xia Li doesn't feel annoying, because sometimes she is like this, and she doesn't care about other people's opinions and opinions, she glanced at this person and said:

"Say it! Find me something."

Chu Ye looked around and said, "It's not convenient to talk here, let's talk about it tonight."

"Tonight, where?" Xia Li saw that this person was talking inexplicably, as if she often talked to him late.

"My house, where else can I go?" Chu Ye didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he said, and his tone was taken for granted.

Xia Li wanted to laugh, let her go to his house at night, this person really dared to say, although he was not afraid of people and didn't care about reputation, but as for going to this person's house at night?

She said a little angrily there, "Your family? Did you say I'll go? I'm sorry, the family is strict during this time, and I can't get out. ”

Chu Ye snorted lightly and said, "Are you telling me this?" Still kidding"

"Not with you and with whom? You're just kidding" Xia Li is a little anxious, is this person talking nonsense?

Chu Ye looked at her, then at the people on the street and said, "I don't like to listen to this kind of perfunctory words, I told you plainly, you will regret not coming tonight."

Xia Li said contemptuously: "If I want to go, I will go, if I don't want to go, I won't go, what do you regret or not, besides, even if I regret it, I admit it, what can you do?" ”

She suddenly felt very unhappy with this person's attitude, that someone spoke like this, if someone else had spoken like this, she would have thrown her hand away a long time ago.

After saying so much, she thought that this person would leave angrily, but the person in front of her didn't leave, and looked at her and said:

"Aren't you here because it concerns your father and your brother? Are you sure"

"What?" Xia Li heard the alarm bell in his heart, and hurriedly said, "What's wrong with them?" ”

Chu Ye didn't say anything when he saw that the fish was hooked, and said: "I'll tell you when you come tonight."

"You're ...... Bastard" Xia Li thought for a long time before she came up with these two words, she was so anxious to die, but this person was leisurely and comfortable, and he used the words to frame her, which was really hateful.

Chu Ye somehow felt funny when he heard this, the corners of his mouth turned up, and a neat row of white teeth in his mouth unconsciously showed and said, "I know you have this ability, so don't pretend in front of me!" See you in the evening, farewell"

After this person finished saying what he wanted to say, he raised his feet and left, leaving Xia Li alone and gritting his teeth when he looked at this person's back, she hadn't finished speaking, it was really hateful.

Xia Li was disturbed by this person, and she lost the interest of continuing to shop, she was worried about her father and brother, what the second prince was going to say to her, it was really incomprehensible.

"Miss...... The man is gone," I saw at first glance that the young lady was standing there alone, and ran over with light clothes.

Qingyi said with a smile: "This second prince didn't have this temperament before, he is very gentle, and he is also polite to people, no matter how he sees that palace maid, he will smile and call sister"

When Xia Li heard this, he suddenly became a little curious, what kind of thing was it because the second prince Chu Ye was kicked out of the palace and became what he is now.

As he walked, he asked Qingyi, "What is it that makes the second prince like this, you and I have a good talk"

Qingyi looked at the people on the street: "Okay, but let's find a quiet place to say, I'm afraid that others will hear me talking about the secrets of the palace, then I don't have to live, it's not good to say here."

Xia Li thought about it too, so he led the light clothes and the early cold to a quiet teahouse.

After a few people sat down and ordered tea and snacks, they listened to Qingyi:

"Originally, the mother concubine of the second prince was met by the emperor when he went out of the palace by chance, and I heard that he was the only daughter of a nine-grade petty official, and because the emperor fell in love with him at first sight, he took him back to the palace and sealed the concubine."

At that time, the emperor already had a queen, and the queen entered the palace to see more but had no children, and it was not until the second prince's mother was pregnant with the second prince that everyone heard that the queen was also pregnant. The eldest prince conceived by the queen was born a few months earlier than the second prince, but at that time the queen was very pampered by the eldest prince, and usually did not let outsiders see it at all.

Xia Li said secretly: If the eldest prince is raised like that, the co-author is in captivity!

Qingyi continued: "The slave maid entered the palace at the age of twelve, when the eldest prince and the second prince were still young, but the slave maid never saw the eldest prince when he was a child, and only occasionally saw the second prince running around in the palace one by one, at that time, the second prince looked very cute and pleasing, and he could talk when he saw people's mouths, and the people in the palace liked him."

"Later, when the second prince grew up to be nine years old, the mother of the second prince had an accident somehow, and I heard that the emperor saw her and the guards with his own eyes, and the emperor was angry and beat the mother of the second prince into the cold palace, and the second prince heard about this and openly argued with the emperor, and scolded the emperor for being a faint monarch, and the emperor was angry and drove him out of the palace and no longer cared about it."

Xia Li heard these things and said: "It turns out that Chu Ye was kicked out of the palace at the age of nine, how did he live at that time, did the emperor really not ask him about his life or death again?" ”

Qingyi shook her head, she didn't know this, but I heard that it was true.

As soon as the second prince left the palace, there was only one prince left, and at that time, every palace maid was afraid of seeing the eldest prince, and when she saw this one who was hiding far away, she was afraid that she would accidentally provoke the prince and be punished by the queen's mother.

At that time, everyone missed the second prince very much, but they all thought about it in their hearts and no one dared to say it.

Xia Li said there: "The second prince has not been back after leaving the palace for so many years?" ”

Qingyi said there: "Yes, as far as the slave knows, I haven't been back once."

"Didn't the emperor mention him?"

Qingyi shook his head, "No one said it before"

"Is the second prince out of the palace alone? Don't have anyone with you? ”

Qingyi said there: "When the second prince left, he didn't even bring a person, and the palace maids secretly went to send it at that time, and they did see that this person was leaving alone."

Xia Li felt strange when she heard this, because when she went to Chu Ye that time, she found that there were a lot of people there, and there should be no less than a dozen people inside and outside, could it be that this person found them himself.

At the age of nine, he was still a child, and he lived alone, and now he looks at this child.

A few people sat in the house and drank tea for a while, feeling that the time was almost up, so they got up to check out and left, and the three of them walked all the way back to Xiafu.

After entering the mansion, Xia Li said to the little man at the door: "Can the eldest master and the second master go back?" ”

The little guy shook his head, "Not yet"

"I haven't come back yet!" Xia Li looked at his light clothes and said, "Can you go back to the house by yourself?" ”

Qingyi played outside for a day, and felt that everything had been figured out, and said there: "It's okay, don't worry about Miss!" ”

Xia Li also felt that it would be fine, after all, with the cleverness of the eldest lady Li Honglian, she would not ask for the life of the eldest lady when he came back, so she could rest assured.

Qingyi entered the second gate and the two said goodbye and left.

Chu Han said there: "Miss, is it true that you said that Qingyi said the words of the second prince?" ”

Xia Li felt that there was no need for this person to lie, and said there: "It should be true!" ”

"Those two princes are really pitiful"

"Pathetic?" Xia Li didn't think it, she felt that the person was living a good life, without the constraints of the palace, and I don't know how good it was to be free outside.

She said there: "If you stay fine, pay more attention to the movement outside the door, and see when my father and brother will come back, I have something I want to ask."

"Okay," Hatsuhan replied.

In the evening, when the night flowers were first released, Xia Li saw his father and brother come back from outside.

As soon as she entered the second gate, she ran out and said, "Father, brother, what do you do all day out?" ”

She wanted to ask if there was something wrong first, so that she could have a bottom when she went to see Chu Ye later.

The second old man, Xia Zhi'an, shook his head there and said, "It's okay, what is it that girls can't walk well?"

Xia Ye's eyebrows flashed, as if he had something to say, but when he heard his father return like this, he hurriedly retracted it.

Xia Li asked his father if he couldn't ask anything, and when he saw his father enter the front study, he secretly followed his brother and said:

"Brother, what's wrong with you telling the truth?"

Xia Ye also sighed and said, "Yes...... It's my father who might go far away."
