Xiao Xi looked at the person who came, a trace of undercurrent crossed his eyes, and his hands clenched unconsciously between his sleeves.

When did he come? How much did he hear those words just now?

Chu Xizhi didn't seem to see the different looks of the ladies at the banquet, he held the wine jug in one hand, slowly stepped over, and finally stopped in front of the Qi clan and bowed his head and smiled, "I remember, slandering the innocence of others, according to the laws of Dayue, should be heavily punished for the twenty boards?" After that, he rolled his eyes, looked at Xiao Xiwei, and laughed loudly, "Miss Xiao Er, I'm not mistaken, right?" ”

The corners of Xiao Xiwei's mouth moved slightly, and he unnaturally looked away and didn't dare to look at Chu Xizhi.

Seeing that Xiao Xi didn't answer, Chu Xizhi smiled again, "I remember that Uncle Mu's youngest son once robbed the people's daughter, and later Uncle Mu Huang found out about it, and personally kidnapped him and sent him to Dali Temple for trial. As the saying goes, the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, I think...... Miss Xiao Er should not cover up Ling...... Auntie, right? ”

The corners of his lips unconsciously overflowed with a smile, Xiao Xi blessed his body slightly, "The courtiers don't dare." ”

"That's good." Chu Xizhi smiled and nodded, seeing that the few mothers-in-law standing next to the Qi clan had not moved, he raised his eyebrows, "Why are you still stunned?" ”

Several mothers-in-law immediately reacted, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull the Qi family and dragged them out of the door.

"Don't ...... Let me go! Let me go! Let me go! Qi finally reacted, shouting all the way, punching and kicking, but he was still pulled out by several mothers-in-law.

Li Lin hurriedly got up and looked at Li Shi pleadingly, hoping that she could plead for her mother again, but Li Shi unnaturally avoided her gaze, she felt a cold in her heart, and heard Qi's heart-rending shout, and shouted sadly, "Mother." Then he hurried out.

Soon, Qi's voice gradually became inaudible.

The old lady's tightly wrinkled brows gradually stretched a little, but when she thought of the farce at today's birthday banquet, she couldn't help but feel very congested.

"Your Highness, why are you here? Lord Xiao is looking for you everywhere. At this time, Chu Xizhi's close guards ran in.

Chu Xizhi smiled, "It's okay, I just watched a good show." After that, he raised his legs and walked towards the door, but after walking a few steps, he turned back to look at the old lady and said, "Old lady, the ancients had Yunning to demolish ten temples and not destroy a marriage, since Miss Xiao San and the young master of the Li Mansion are in love, the old lady does not guard against the beauty of adults." With that, he smiled leisurely and walked away.

Xiao Xiwei suddenly heard Chu Xizhi's words, and almost laughed out loud.

Originally, the Qi family was dragged to Dali Temple, although there are still doubts about this handkerchief, but in front of the old lady and the Li family, everyone tacitly revealed the past, but Chu regretted mentioning it, but it confirmed that Xiao Xile and Li Po have a relationship, no matter how capable the next Li family is, I am afraid that this matter will not be revealed.

As soon as Chu Xi stepped out of the door of the flower hall before, Xiao Xile grabbed Li's sleeve and cried bitterly, "Mother, someone must have framed me!" You must help me! You must help me! ”

Li Shi looked at Xiao Xile, who was crying bitterly, and his heart hurt as if he had been cut by a knife, if someone else said this, she would always have a way to remove it, but the person who said this was the Seventh Prince!

"It's you! You must have framed me! I lost that veil a long time ago, you must have deliberately framed me with that veil! Xiao Xile suddenly pushed Li away, stretched out his hand and pointed at the tip of Xiao Xiwei's nose, his eyes almost bursting with fire.

Xiao Xiwei's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Sister, why do you think like this?" The handkerchief was taken out by Mrs. Li......"

When the lady present heard this, her heart suddenly became clear. It was clear that she had a relationship with the son of the Li family first, and left the veil as a token of love, but the Qi family thought that the owner of the veil was Miss Xiao Er, so she forced the marriage on the old lady's birthday, and she didn't want to, but in the end it was confirmed that the veil was Miss Xiao San's, and she saw that the scandal was exposed, and she even poured this dirty water on her sister's head.

"That's you! It's me you framed......"

"Evil Barrier!" Seeing that Xiao Xile was getting more and more unseemly, the old lady snapped Xiao Xile's words loudly, and slapped him with a backhand, "Don't you think you lost enough face today?" Get lost! Get out of here now! ”

Xiao Xile's tears poured out, she glared at Xiao Xiwei hatefully, and then covered her face and ran out crying.

"Le'er!" Li shouted in distress, and then hurriedly chased out.

A good birthday banquet was made like this, the old lady covered her chest and gasped, Xiao Xi hurriedly stepped forward to support the old lady and said, "Grandmother, my father specially invited the auspicious class from the capital to sing in the hall for your birthday, why don't grandmothers and the ladies move to the backyard to listen to the play?" ”

The ladies below are all such clever people, as soon as they heard Xiao Xiwei say it, they all echoed it.

The old lady nodded reluctantly and smiled, which was considered to be the answer.

The stage and pergola had already been set up in the backyard, and several long couches had already been set up in the pergola, and all kinds of snacks and fruits were placed on the mahogany table in front of the couch, and everyone sat down one by one according to their position, while the ladies sat around the lady and whispered and laughed.

Listening to the sound of gongs and drums, the play on the stage began, and the babbling and singing voices were together, and the ladies and ladies who were still laughing just now moved their attention to the stage.

As soon as the play was sung for a while, Biyun suddenly whispered a few words in Xiao Xiwei's ear, Xiao Xiwei frowned slightly, and then smiled and said in the old lady's ear, "Grandmother, I'll go change my clothes." ”

The old lady nodded.

Xiao Xiwei walked out with Biyun, and before she went far, she saw a girl waiting there anxiously.

"Miss, the fourth prince...... The four princes are gone. As soon as the girl saw Xiao Xiwei, it was like seeing a savior.

Hearing Chu Yanzhi's name from the girl's mouth, Xiao Xi's eyes quickly flashed a trace of displeasure.

"What's going on?" She forced down the strange emotion in her chest and said coldly.

"At the banquet in the front hall, the four princes accidentally wet their clothes, and the slave maid took the four princes to change their clothes, but the four princes disappeared as they walked......" The little girl looked at Xiao Xiwei and was so frightened that she was about to cry.

Xiao Xi frowned slightly, "I know." You take a few people to the garden to look for it first, it's only a while, presumably he hasn't gone far. ”

"Yes." The little girl hurriedly responded.

Looking at the little girl's hurried back, Xiao Xiwei's brows tightened more and more.

"Miss Xiao Er?" At this moment, a deep voice sounded behind him, and a young man walked out from the flowers next to him. A crescent-colored robe is embroidered with gold thread with ink and flowers, the black hair is tied up with a jade crown, and the face is extremely handsome and elegant, it is the fourth prince Chu Yanzhi who disappeared from the mouth of the little girl.

"Your Highness." Xiao Xi lowered his eyes slightly and slowly gave a salute. The long eyelashes hide the undulating undercurrents in the eyes.

Chu Yan smiled, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, "Xu I just drank too much wine, which will make me a little dizzy." ”

Xiao Xiwei still lowered her eyes, and her voice was cold and she couldn't hear any joy or anger, "Then the courtier asked the maid to send you back?" After that, she glanced sideways at the girl beside her, "Biyun ......"

"Second Miss seems to be very disgusted with me?" Chu Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xiwei.

Xiao Xi slowly raised his eyes to meet Chu Yanzhi's gaze, and there was no emotion on his clear face, "Your Highness should have misunderstood something?" The courtiers and His Royal Highness are just general, how can they talk about disgust? ”

There was indifference in those pupils like autumn water, and this kind of Xiao Xiwei made Chu Yanzhi's eyebrows gradually twist.

He couldn't see through what those eyes contained.

He can't see through her!

This feeling of elusiveness made him very uncomfortable!

"If Your Highness has no other orders, the courtiers will retire first." Xiao Xi retracted his gaze slightly, lightly blessed his body, and then prepared to leave.

"Miss Xiao Er." Chu Yanzhi hurriedly called Xiao Xiwei.

Xiao Xi stopped slightly, raised his eyes to look at him, and raised his eyebrows.

Chu Yanzhi took out half of the jade pendant from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Xiwei, "This jade pendant was originally my mother's, she said, if he finds someone who is willing to stay with him for the rest of his life, he will give half of it to that woman......" After that, he raised his eyes and stared at Xiao Xiwei, and the corners of his lips slowly rippled with a gentle and doting smile.

Sharp nails pierced the skin, and there was a piercing pain.

Stay together for a lifetime......

He actually dared to say these four words to her.

It was as if she was once again in the scorching flames, the flames devouring her skin inch by inch, and the tearing pain and despair swept over her again. How many times did she dream of struggling in pain in the sea of fire at midnight, and when she was about to climb out of the sea of fire with all her might, those cold and desperate eyes like hell always stared at her......

But now, in her eyes, this man who destroyed all her hopes and dreams like the devil of Shura, and pushed her into the abyss of darkness and despair, actually told her......

Staying together for a lifetime?

This is really the funniest joke she's ever heard!

Xiao Xi took a deep breath slightly, forced down the hatred that was tumbling in her chest, and she raised her eyebrows, "Fourth Highness, do you know what you're talking about?" ”

The corners of Chu Yanzhi's mouth curled into a light smile, "I naturally know what I'm doing." Acquaintance with Qing Chu is like returning to an old friend. ”

The corners of Xiao Xi's lips raised slightly, and he also smiled, but his voice was unusually cold, "Does the Fourth Highness know if the courtiers are willing to listen to these words?" ”

The smile on the corner of Chu Yanzhi's lips suddenly disappeared, and he stared at Xiao Xiwei's cold and waveless pupils, and his eyebrows gradually twisted.

Seeing Chu Yanzhi smiling, his eyebrows seemed to be displeased, Bi Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Xiao Xi with some concern. But he didn't want to, but Xiao Xiwei had a calm face.

"It's not too early, and it's time for my grandmother to look for me, so the courtiers will retire first." Xiao Xi faintly blessed Chu Yanzhi, and after saying that, he crossed Chu Yanzhi without looking back.

"Are you sure you won't regret it?" Behind him, Chu Yanzhi's voice sounded again, faintly mixed with a trace of forbearance.

Xiao Xiwei didn't even pause, and disappeared on the path next to the rockery in a blink of an eye.

Behind him, Chu Yanzhi's always gentle and elegant face instantly became gloomy.

She actually rejected him! And, without a hint of hesitation!

Xiao Xiwei!

He silently shouted these three words in his heart, and then with a flick of his long sleeves, he quickly disappeared into the garden.

Just after Chu Yanzhi left, behind the rockery, a long figure flashed out, and the man casually picked a rose flower and put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, and a dizzying smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
