"Sister Xiao, don't get me wrong. I, I just sprained my foot when I walked through here, and that's why I accidentally ......" Lin Yushi said as her voice gradually lowered, and her snow-white face was also dyed with an inexplicable crimson.

"Oh, Miss Lin isn't too 'careful' either." The corners of Xiao Xi's lips lifted a mocking sneer.

"Xiao, Sister Xiao...... I...... I ......" Lin Yushi had red eyes, biting her lower lip tightly, and her wet eyes looked at Xiao Xiwei timidly, full of grievances and sadness.

Looking at Lin Yushi's weak and pitiful appearance, Xiao Xiyang frowned slightly, and couldn't help but speak, "Sister, it's just a misunderstanding." ”

Xiao Xi snorted coldly, and swept towards Xiao Xiyang with a sharp gaze, "Since my brother said so, then I'll be nosy." After that, he glanced back at Chu Xi, then ignored Xiao Xiyang, raised his feet and left.

"Sister. Younger sister. Xiao Xiyang hurriedly turned around and shouted twice at Xiao Xiwei's back, but Xiao Xiwei didn't stop for a while and disappeared. Xiao Xiyang sighed, only to find that Chu Xizhi was still standing behind him, and couldn't help frowning, looking at Chu Xizhi, "What do you say is wrong with Wei'er?" I didn't say anything wrong, did I? ”

The corners of Chu Xizhi's lips hooked, "You don't know if you said the wrong thing." With that, he raised his eyes and looked at Lin Yushi with a smile on his face.

Touching Chu Xizhi's gaze, Lin Yushi lowered her eyes timidly, the hand hidden in her sleeve tightened unconsciously, and hurriedly said, "Courtier, courtier, courtier will retire first." With that, he hurried away with the support of the girl.

"I always thought that Brother Xiao was a person who didn't understand amorous feelings, when did he know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade?" As soon as Lin Yushi left, Chu Xizhi looked at Xiao Xiyang and said jokingly.

"What nonsense?" Xiao Xiyang wrinkled his eyebrows and glared at Chu Xi, "You and I are just like you!" Speaking of this, Xiao Xiyang's eyes rolled, "Could it be that you annoyed my sister, and she didn't want to attack you and poured all her anger on me?" ”

"It's true to annoy you, your sister, I really don't dare to mess with you." Chu Xizhi said, a sweet smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.

Xiao Xiyang glanced at Chu Xi suspiciously, "What kind of trick did you use, I didn't see how my sister took care of you on the way here!" ”

Chu Xizhi glanced at Xiao Xiyang, "You better stay away from that woman!" ”

"Woman? Which woman? Xiao Xiyang was stunned.

"What other woman? Naturally, it's the one who doesn't 'care' throw himself into your arms. Chu Xizhi glanced at Xiao Xiyang and said.

Xiao Xiyang wrinkled his brows, thought for a long time, and then said, "Could it be that what are you talking about just now, what Miss Lin?" When he saw the contempt in Chu Xi's eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, "What kind of eyes are you!" I won't say it, it's just a misunderstanding! ”

"It's a 'misunderstanding' that's even better. For the sake of you being my future brother-in-law, I have to remind you that what is delivered to the door is not a good thing. ”

"I said it was just a misunderstanding!" Xiao Xiyang was a little angry.

Chu Xizhi sighed, walked to Xiao Xiyang's side, raised his hand and stretched out towards the hem of his clothes, and after a while, a ruby earring fell in the palm of his hand.

"This ...... What is it? Where did you get it from? Seeing the ruby earrings in Chu Xizhi's palm, Xiao Xiyang was a little stunned, "Could it be that this earring is the one just now...... What Miss Lin accidentally dropped on me? ”

"Isn't it 'accidental', 'accidentally' fell into your arms, and 'accidentally' lost the earrings on you? Do you think she'll be your bride 'accidentally' next time? Chu Xizhi raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Xiao Xiyang's face darkened, "Nonsense, how can there be so many careless ......" As soon as he finished speaking, a thought suddenly crossed his mind, "What do you mean, who deliberately dropped this earring on me?" It can't be, if that's the case, how could I not find out? ”

"Xiao Dagongzi is a beautiful woman in his arms, and his heart is stirring, how can he notice this little earring, maybe you may not be able to notice if your family stabs you in the chest." Chu Xizhi said with a playful smile.

Xiao Xiyang's face became more and more heavy, but he did not say anything to refute Chu Xizhi's words.

He really didn't guard against Lin Yu. Lin Yushi looked soft and weak, and he didn't think about anything else.

"Why, you still don't believe it?" Chu Xizhi raised his eyebrows, "I always thought that the two of them were talking about those pedantic nerds who didn't hear what was going on outside the window, but I didn't expect that Xiao Dagongzi also had this habit." You don't know, who is Miss Lin's father, right? Chu Xizhi sighed, and continued, "Her father is the Ministry of Works, but this is not important, the important thing is that her cousin Xiao Dagongzi also knows, it is His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince today." ”

"What do they want to do?"

Chu Xizhi smiled, "Do you remember what happened at the old lady's birthday banquet?" ”

Old Lady's Birthday Banquet......

The weather was surprisingly good on the second day, with the bright sun shining overhead, and everyone gathered in the hunting ground. As the emperor shot the first arrow, it pierced through the silent sky, followed by countless arrows flying out in unison. On the high platform, there are priests singing praises to the harvest year, when his voice falls, the eight big drums next to him beat in unison, followed by dozens of birds of prey were released from the cage, the prince took the lead in riding his horse towards those birds of prey, followed by several princes, and then the young princes of each province, a group of people quickly rushed into the dense forest.

The attendant took the bow and arrow in the emperor's hand, and the emperor sat down with a smile, and a trace of envy inadvertently crossed the bottom of his dark eyes.

He is now old and his body is getting worse, and he has always felt a little powerless lately, if only he could be ten years younger.

"Your Majesty, let's have some tea." At this moment, a soft voice rang out.

The emperor lowered his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him who served tea to himself, dressed in a cyan palace dress, her eyebrows and eyes were as delicate as ink paintings, and a pair of phoenix eyes were floating with a faint water, so she looked at herself quietly.

How many years have passed, and she is still the same as when he first saw her, and the years do not seem to have left any traces on her, but he is already old......

If that person were still alive, I don't know what it would be like now......

For a long time, the person on the dragon chair did not move.

Concubine Yan still smiled lightly, holding the cup of tea and looking at the emperor quietly.

A sneer rose on Concubine Shen's lips.

"I'm tired." The emperor smiled, reached out and gently shook Concubine Yan's hand, and took the tea in her hand, but he didn't drink it and put it directly on the table in front of him.

Xiao Xi frowned slightly, and twisted slightly.

It is said that the emperor favored Yan Guifei to the extreme, regardless of the fact that she was the concubine of the former emperor, he took her back from the Taimiao strongly, and also made her the imperial concubine, and she has been favored for more than ten years. Some concubines often discuss in private, saying that if it weren't for Shen Guifei and the descendants to block it, they were afraid that Yan Guifei would have already been sealed.

In the past, she thought so, but looking at this scene today, a strange feeling suddenly floated in her heart, as if there was a ruthless thread beating in her heart, but she couldn't hold it.

"Father, mother, let's wait here and be bored, why don't you guess who will hunt the most today?" The crown princess suddenly smiled and stepped forward.

The corners of the emperor's mouth twitched, "Then you can guess!" ”

"Since my father agreed, it's better to write down all the names and put them in the tray, how about everyone give something at will as a lottery?" The crown princess said with a smile.

"The dignified princess, why are you messing around." Concubine Shen glared at the crown princess, then turned her face to look at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, look ......"

"It's up to her." The emperor waved his hand slightly, and there was no trace of ups and downs in his deep eyes.

Concubine Shen glanced at the emperor for a long time, and finally withdrew her gaze, "Then don't make too much trouble." ”

The emperor and Concubine Shen both spoke, and naturally someone quickly prepared the things to be served.

"Guys, I'll start by saying that you can only choose one. So, think carefully about who you want to vote for! The crown princess blinked and smiled.

The ladies in the stands couldn't hide their excitement on their faces, and they all took off their jewelry and ran forward to show their heads.

"I'll bet on the Seventh Prince." In the crowd, a crisp voice suddenly sounded.

Xiao Xi raised her eyes slightly, but the person turned his head and glanced at her defiantly, it was Zhu Rubi, the youngest daughter of Ping An Bo. Xiao Xiwei looked at her and couldn't help but smile. It seems that this Miss Zhu really loves Chu very much! Everyone knows that she is Chu Xizhi's fiancé, although she likes it in her heart, but when she bets on the lottery, she quietly puts it up, only this Miss Zhu is so blatant that she came to her to provoke.

"Sister Xiao won't be angry, right?" Zhu Rubi raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiao Xi and said slightly.

Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled faintly, and said, "Angry? What are you angry about? Could it be that Miss Zhu thought that I would be angry for Miss Zhu betting on the lottery of His Royal Highness the Seventh? ”

"I'm just scared of ......"

"What is Miss Zhu afraid of? There are not a few young ladies who voted for His Royal Highness Seven, and no one else is afraid that I will be angry, why is Miss Zhu afraid? ”

Xiao Xiwei's words were almost clear, saying that Zhu Rubi had unsightly thoughts about the Seventh Prince.

Zhu Rubi's chest froze, and her pretty face turned red.

"If you are like a blue, you must not be rude." Mrs. Ping'an Bo hurriedly pulled Zhu Rubi back.

"Miss Xiao Er, it's your turn. Remember, you can only choose one. At this time, the crown princess interjected at the right time.

Xiao Xi smiled.

She knew that the crown princess would not open her mouth so abruptly to ask the emperor to play something, it turned out that she was waiting for her here. Among the people who went to hunt were her fiancé and her brother-in-law. If Chu is chosen, others will definitely say that she turned her arms out before she passed the door, and it would be frivolous and unstable to spread out. If you choose your brother, then they will say that she is obviously the daughter-in-law of the royal family, but she only thinks about her mother's family. In fact, there are many brothers here today who are hunting, but they don't vote for their brothers to have their own mothers to do the work for them, and others don't know what to say, but she Xiao Xiwei has no mother, and she is alone...... However, except for the two of them, no one else could vote.

"Miss Xiao Er, have you thought about it?" The crown princess looked at Xiao Xiwei, and the smile on the corner of her lips became a little more enchanting.

Last night she caused her to lose face in front of everyone, and today, let's see how she can get it back!

Xiao Xi smiled, took off a jade pendant from the placket and calmly walked to the row of color plates held by the eunuch, then closed his eyes, and finally raised his hand casually and threw the jade pendant up.
