Chapter 94: Revisiting the Old Place
Listening to Baili Qingbao's words, Jin Xia was secretly pleasantly surprised in her heart, because she was in the palace, living in the inner mansion, and Tang Huanqin's guest room was very different, which also indirectly showed that she was the person close to the prince, and this Tang Huanqin was just an outsider.
However, Tang Huanqin did not have any unpleasant reaction, still maintained a faint smile, and after saluting Baili Qingbao, he obediently followed behind the housekeeper and went to his resting place.
Finding that Jin Xia beside her secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Baili Qingbao patted her shoulder and said with a smile: "What, are you nervous?" ”
Looking up at Baili Qingbao, Jin Xia weakly hooked her lips and said, "People are everyone's ladies, and I'm just ...... Hey, the difference between cloud and mud will definitely make people feel inferior and dare not talk nonsense. Why, isn't it my performance just now that disappointed you too much? ”
"How could it be ......" Gently pinning Jinxia's windswept hair behind her ears, Baili Qingbao smiled gently, "Others are as good as others, but you have a charm that no one else can match." ”
Looking straight at Baili Qingbao, Jin Xia found that his figure was cast in his eyes, small, but very clear, as if in his world, there was only his own existence. Jin Xia suddenly found that it couldn't be easier to fall in love with a man like Baili Qingbao......

Jin Xia wanted to prepare some exquisite breakfast for Baili Qingbao by herself, so she got up early to cook porridge and make snacks, and she was very busy. When Jin Xia had prepared all the breakfast, she went to Baili Qingbao's bedroom with the steaming delicacy full of anticipation.
But halfway through, Jin Xia saw Tang Huanqin, who was also holding breakfast, and couldn't help but "chuckle" in her heart.
"Miss Jinxia, it's early." Tang Huanqin did not shy away from it, and took the initiative to say hello when he saw Jinxia, without the slightest hint of twisting.
"It's Miss Tang, what a coincidence." The corners of her mouth were stiffly hooked, and Jin Xia's gaze fell on the tray in the other party's hand, which was a little unpleasant.
Finding Jin Xia's gaze, Tang Huanqin shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "I just went to deliver breakfast to the prince, but I was turned away. It seems that the prince hates me very much, I don't know if Miss Jinxia will be treated like this when she goes in. After speaking, Tang Huanqin left with his things.
After listening to the other party's words, Jin Xia's heart also became nervous, and she didn't know why the prince wanted to refuse Tang Huanqin.
Walking to the door, Jin Xia reached out and knocked on the door, and after hearing Baili Qingbao's voice, he pushed the door in. With a smile on his face, Jin Xia cautiously walked in front of Baili Qingbao, put all the things in his hand on his table, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, I have prepared breakfast for you, I don't know if you have an appetite......"
"Did you eat it early?" As soon as Baili Qingbao heard this, he immediately sat down at the table, looked at these delicate snacks, couldn't help rubbing his palms, and said with a smile, "Great, I'm hungry." As he spoke, Baili Qingbao ate it regardless of his image.
Seeing Baili Qingbao's reaction, Jin Xia was relieved. Sitting beside him, Jin Xia asked tentatively, "I just saw Miss Tang outside, and she seems to have come to bring breakfast to the prince." ”
"That woman......" Baili Qingbao said nonchalantly after hearing this, "I don't know what he thinks, where does anyone give people hooves to eat in the morning?" It's strange to have an appetite to eat it. I think, that Tang Huanqin must be playing tricks on me, hum......"
"How could it be...... Jin Xia smiled softly on the surface, and said, "I saw that when Miss Huanqin left, she was still a little lost, she should really want to please you, but she lacks life experience and doesn't know how to think about others." The prince should not always reject people thousands of miles away, she is the daughter of the Duke of Jin, and it is not good to offend. ”
Baili Qingbao kept eating, and said casually: "I don't care whose daughter she is, don't you let people say it?" Besides, don't think that everyone is as understanding as you, I think that Tang Huanqin is deliberately playing tricks on me......"
After listening to Baili Qingbao's complaints, Jin Xia finally put her mind at ease. In any case, the prince didn't have the slightest affection for that woman, so she didn't pose much threat to himself. Next, it's time to explore Tang Huanqin's tone.
Immediately from Baili Qingbao, Jin Xia inquired about Tang Huanqin's place of residence, deliberately lingered outside it, and finally "encountered" Tang Huanqin when she passed by her door for the third time.
"Miss Jinxia? Coincidentally, we met again. ”
Stopping, Jin Xia pretended to be surprised and said, "Yes." I'm just walking around here, I didn't expect to meet Miss Huanqin again, I don't know where Miss Huanqin is going? ”
"I'm also idle, I want to walk around, so let's go together."
Tang Huanqin's words were just as Jinxia meant, and the two of them paced slowly under the shade trees.
Tugging at her handkerchief, Jin Xia didn't know how to speak, and Tang Huanqin had already smiled and said: "I heard that Miss Jinxia lived in Jiangnan before, and others said that there are many beautiful women in Jiangnan, but I don't believe it, but now that I see Miss Jinxia, I believe this sentence, it's really a beauty." ”
"Heh, in front of Miss Huanqin, how can I be embarrassed to call me a beauty?" Jin Xia hurriedly said humbly, "It's Miss Huanqin, although it is the first time we have met, but I found that you don't have the arrogance of other young ladies in you, and you are very easy-going." Men must like a gentle and beautiful woman like you. ”
Hearing this, Tang Huanqin sighed heavily and said, "Hey, what's the use of others liking?" The prince doesn't like me at all. The breakfast I sent just now, the prince didn't even look at it, and let people send me out, it's really sad. ”
Although he had known such an ending for a long time, now that he heard it with his own ears, it still made Jin Xia feel overjoyed. Stirring the handkerchief in her hand, Jin Xia asked hesitantly, "Could it be that Miss Huanqin, do you also like the prince?" ”
"The prince is handsome and extraordinary, who doesn't like the girls in the capital?" Tang Huanqin was not embarrassed, and said frankly in his heart. "It's a pity that the prince doesn't think about me as much as he does, I see everything as just my empty joy. Hey, people are self-aware, and when I finish dealing with the things that my mother explained to me, I will leave. ”
Looking at Tang Huanqin's lonely appearance, Jin Xia was overjoyed in her heart. But on the surface, he still pretended to be sympathetic and comforted. Now Jinxia no longer takes Tang Huanqin in his eyes, this defeated general will not be his opponent in the end!

After running all the way, Qiu Ziyao and Xu Ziang finally came to the capital. Looking at the bustling capital, Xu Ziang was a little cramped. He watched the excitement left and right, followed Qiu Ziyao closely, and muttered: "There are so many people here, Ziyao, we must not be separated, or we can't find it." ”
Listening to Xu Ziang's words, Qiu Ziyao couldn't help but purse her lips and smile, and said, "That's good, let's agree on a place, if we really get separated, how about going to the largest restaurant in the city to gather?" ”
"The biggest restaurant?" Xu Ziang was a little confused and asked, "How do I know which restaurant is the largest?" ”
"Have you ever heard of Xiangkelai? There's it. ”
Xiangkelai ......
Muttering the name carefully, Xu Ziang looked at Qiu Ziyao, frowned and asked, "Ziyao, how do you know about this restaurant?" ”
Qiu Ziyao froze, and after thinking about it carefully, she shook her head and said, "I don't know why I said this name, it's like I had it in my head, and I said it inadvertently." ”
Hearing this, Xu Ziang slapped his palm and said with a smile: "Look, I said that you must have an inextricable relationship with this capital, otherwise why would you be so familiar with the situation here?" I just watched you walk naturally on the streets in the back, not at all like me, dumbfounded. Anyway, we're sure we'll be able to find out the mystery of your origins in the capital......"
After listening to Xu Ziang's analysis, Qiu Ziyao's heart also ignited hope. Just, where do you start?
Taking out his jade pendant, Qiu Ziyao let out a long sigh of relief.
"The girl's jade pendant is really good, and at first glance, you can see that it is not extraordinary. Don't know where to buy? ”
Just as Qiu Ziyao was pondering, a voice suddenly came from beside her, which made her wake up suddenly, and looked at the person with a little wariness.
Standing opposite Qiu Ziyao was an old man with white beard, but he was in good spirits and his eyes were bright. For some reason, when Qiu Ziyao saw this old man, she unconsciously gave birth to a sense of solemnity, did not dare to speak falsely, and was full of reverence. Come to think of it, this is overwhelming.
Looking at the old man and then at the jade pendant in his hand, Qiu Ziyao said honestly: "I don't know where this thing came from, but I'm sure it's very important to me......"
Xu Ziang was not as easy to trust others as Qiu Ziyao, he was busy standing in front of Qiu Ziyao, looking at the old man vigilantly, and asked, "Ziyao, we don't know him either, why do you want to say so much?" Let's go......"
"The girl's name is Ziyao?" The old man stroked his beard, and there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes, and asked, "Where do you think the old man has heard this name?" ”
"You...... Know me? Qiu Ziyao's eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe it.
"The old man is very familiar with this name, but all of a sudden, I can't remember where I heard it." The old man tried to think about it, and finally said, "Otherwise, the girl will tell the old man the address where you live, and when the old man thinks of it, go and tell the girl, how about it?" ”
"But we don't know where we're going to live right now." Qiu Ziyao sighed and said, "The inn in the capital is really expensive, and we can't stay for a few nights with the money in our hands. I'm afraid we'll have changed addresses before you can remember. ”
