When Chu Xizhi came in with a snack, there was only Xiao Xiwei in the room.

"Why, your cousin is gone."

Xiao Xiwei sat in front of the couch, holding a white jade chess piece in his hand, looking at the game of chess played by Chu Xizhi and Chen Mubai just now. Hearing Chu Xizhi's voice, she glanced up at him from the chessboard, and then lowered her head to look at the chessboard.

"Angry?" Chu Xizhi smiled and walked to sit down opposite Xiao Xiwei, leaned over and said with a smile.

Xiao Xiwei threw the white jade chess pieces in his hand onto the chessboard, "Why don't you agree?" ”

"Promise what?" Chu Xizhi casually pinched a piece of dim sum and took a bite.

Xiao Xi raised his eyes slightly and looked at Chu Xizhi, "Do you think it's redundant?" ”

"Wei'er, I didn't marry you for this." Chu Xizhi paused, "I'm different from him. ”

Although Chen Mubai told him the reason, but hearing it from Chu Xizhi's mouth with his own ears, Xiao Xiwei still felt as if he had been filled with honey in his heart.

"Besides, I don't want you to owe the Chen family a favor." Chu Xizhi said again.

Xiao Xi's eyebrows moved slightly, "That's my uncle." Moreover, it is also an opportunity for them. ”

Chu Xizhi hooked the corners of his lips and stopped answering.

"Chu Xizhi, this is not like you." Xiao Xi frowned suspiciously, "You don't know what it means to have the help of the Chen family!" ”

As the saying goes, there is money and there is a devil.

One million taels of silver, how much can be done, even a fool will not push out the silver sent to the door, let alone the shrewd Chu Xizhi. What is the reason?

Chu Xizhi pursed the corners of his lips, swept the chess pieces on the chessboard casually, raised his eyes to stare at Xiao Xiweidao, raised his eyebrows and said, "I heard that your uncle once intended to hire you for your cousin." ”

Xiao Xiwei was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly thought of something, "You won't refuse for this reason, right?" ”

"No way!" Chu Xizhi raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically.

Xiao Xiwei couldn't help laughing, "I don't know where you heard these words. However, the eldest cousin had married two years ago, and now he has a son and a daughter under his knees. ”

"What!" Chu Xizhi's eyebrows twisted, and his face suddenly became very ugly, "Damn Chu Muzhi." ”

"You're right, though. Uncle is a couple, so it's better not to involve him. Xiao Xi couldn't help but smile, "It's not too early, I should go back." With that, she stood up.

"Wei'er ......"

"Your Highness, let's go back to the palace early." Xiao Xi interrupted Chu Xizhi's words with a smile, then raised his voice and shouted purple smoke, opened the door with a smile and walked out.

The streets are still bustling with activity.

Biyun was full of snacks and looked forward, "Miss, let's go and have a look, I heard that this year's Lantern Festival will dance dragon lanterns." ”

"You haven't made enough trouble." Xiao Xi glanced at Biyun faintly, and then instructed a mother-in-law next to him, "Go and inform the coachman, drive the carriage to East Street and wait, and I'll pass it in a while." ”

"Yes." When the woman had answered, she turned and went to inform the coachman.

"Miss, let's go, what should Miss Fourth do? Don't you wait for her? Biyun said a little unwillingly.

Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his eyes to look at Biyun again, and said with a smile, "Fourth Miss will have someone to send her back, but if you are willing to wait for her, you can do it." ”

Biyun pinched her handkerchief and shuddered, and hurriedly shook her head and said, "Then I'd better go back to the house with Miss." ”

The streets are filled with all kinds of colorful lights.

"Sister, buy a lamp." A sweet voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Xiao Xi turned his face slightly, and saw a little girl about twelve or thirteen years old looking at her with a small rabbit lamp in her hand. She was wearing a thin dress, her little face was red from the wind, her body was shivering in the cold wind, and her eyes were clear and vaguely a little scared, probably afraid of being rejected and driven away. She smiled, pulled her hand out of her sleeve, and reached out to take the rabbit lamp in her hand, "It's so beautiful, did you make it yourself?" ”

"Yes, I did it. Sister, you either. The girl said happily.

Xiao Xi smiled, handed the little rabbit lamp to Ziyan to hold, and said to Biyun, "Give her a silver ingot." ”

"Okay." Biyun smiled and took out a piece of silver and handed it to the little girl.

The little girl hesitated and pinched the few lamps left in her hand, "Sister, you, do you have a copper plate, I'...... I can't find ......."

Xiao Xi glanced at the lamp in her hand and smiled, "I don't have my copper plate, it's better to do this, you give me all your lamps." ”

The little girl was happy at first, and then said with some hesitation, "Sister, do you use so many lamps alone?" ”

"Oh, you little girl. My young lady can't use so many lights, don't you still have us! Biyun said, while stuffing the silver into the little girl's hand, and shouted to a few girls behind, "What are you still doing in a daze, let's divide it one by one!" ”

The girl behind her suddenly smiled.

Seeing that the lamps in her hand were all sold out, the girl smiled with relief, "Sister, thank you, my name is Min'er." ”

"My surname is Xiao."

"Sister Xiao, thank you, if I have silver, I can buy paper and pens for Brother Xiang." The little girl raised the silver in her hand, then turned around with a smile and ran away.

Xiao Xi smiled, turned around and was about to leave, but he didn't want to bump into a pair of cold eyes.

In the endless flow of people, the man's whole body was wrapped in a large black coat, and the fox fur at the collar completely covered his chin, revealing only the sneer of unknown meaning at the corner of his mouth.

Chu Yanzhi.

The hand caged in the sleeve clenched unconsciously.

The purple smoke behind him couldn't help but feel that he was a few steps closer to Xiao Xiwei, the smile on his face disappeared without a trace, and his eyes stared at Chu Yanzhi vigilantly.

For a long time, no one moved.

Suddenly, a small snowflake fell in the air, and then two, three, and countless snowflakes followed.

Chu Yanzhi finally moved.

He walked in front of Xiao Xiwei, stood still, and then stretched out his hand. Xiao Xi subconsciously took two steps back. But he saw Chu Yanzhi spread out his palms and quietly watched several snowflakes fall on his palms, "It's snowing again, I don't know if it's cold in Shuiyue Nunnery?" ”

Suigetsu-an.

Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, "If Your Highness wants to know, you can go to Shuiyue Nunnery to have a look." ”

The corners of Chu Yanzhi's lips overflowed with a sneer, and he raised his eyes to look at Xiao Xiwei, "When others see that Miss Xiao Er can lend a helping hand to a girl she doesn't know, they probably won't believe how much Miss Xiao Er hates and ruthlesss her own sister." ”

"Isn't that the result of His Royal Highness King Shen?" Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly and fearlessly met Chu Yanzhi's gaze and said coldly.

Chu Yan's eyes sank, his lips pursed into a straight line, and his eyes stared at Xiao Xiwei coldly, "Do you think he has a victory?" ”

Xiao Xiwei looked at Chu Yanzhi and didn't answer.

Chu Yanzhi smiled suddenly, took a step closer to Xiao Xiwei, raised his hand to put on her hood carefully, and his deep voice sounded low, "Xiwei, you still have a chance." ”

Xiao Xiwei looked at Chu Yanzhi, and after a moment, she smiled, "The courtiers don't understand what His Highness is saying." ”

"You know." Chu Yanzhi stubbornly stared at Xiao Xiwei.

"The hour is not early, and the courtiers will not disturb His Highness." Xiao Xi stepped back slightly, and the two of them walked towards Chu Yan's blessing, and then turned around and prepared to leave.

"Xiao Xiwei. I'll just give you this chance, next time ......"

Chu Yanzhi didn't finish the rest of the words, but anyone could hear the threat in his words.

The man in front of him stopped as he wished.

Xiao Xi turned around slightly, revealing a snow-white and delicate face in the hood, "How about next time?" Who is Your Highness going to ask to prepare another glass of wine for your courtiers? ”

Chu Yanzhi tightened his lips and did not speak.

Xiao Xi smiled and lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes moved, "It's really His Highness Lao's trouble." However, the courtiers thought that the courtiers did not need this opportunity for His Highness. After speaking, ignoring the coldness in Chu Yan's eyes, he turned around and led the girl away.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier.

Vendors on both sides of the street have put away their stalls and are preparing to return home, and there are constantly figures shuttling through the streets.

Chu Yanzhi stood in the snow, his cold eyes staring at the direction where Xiao Xiwei left.

Once again, he was rejected by her.

Somewhere in the chest, it looked like a needle had been pierced, and it was sore and painful.

"There are so many women in the world, why should Your Highness be obsessed with the one in front of you." In the wind and snow, a figure quietly walked to Chu Yanzhi and stood still.

Persistent?

Chu Yanzhi retracted his gaze, "You just said that this king is persistent?" ”

Lu Haiyang looked at Chu Xizhi's eyes and did not answer.

The corners of Chu Yanzhi's lips hooked up a self-deprecating smile, "Maybe." ”

Even Lu Shui Yang said that he was obsessed with Xiao Xiwei, perhaps, he was really obsessed with her......

"Your Highness." Lu Haiyang frowned.

He couldn't understand Chu Yanzhi's actions at this moment.

"Haiyang, do you believe it? From the first time I saw her, I thought she should belong to me, but unfortunately, ......"

It's a pity that she chose Chu Xizhi.

"Your Highness, it's just a woman. The most important thing at the moment is the northwest side......" Lu Haiyang twisted his eyebrows and lowered his voice.

Chu Yanzhi's eyes finally moved, "Haiyang, you say, if she knows that she chose the wrong one, will she regret what she said to this king today?" ”

"Your Highness." Lu Haiyang shouted with a cold face.

Chu Yanzhi smiled and finally stopped the topic, "Let's go." With that, he walked past Lu Haiyang towards the snowstorm.

He didn't tell Lu Haiyang, nor did he tell anyone, he dreamed more than once that in the new room lit with red candles, he picked up the wedding stick and picked up the bride's Xipa sitting on the bed, and under the Xipa was Xiao Xi's slightly shy and timid snow-white face.

If the dream represents his heart, then he will definitely not have to snatch her back! He will let her know that only himself is her final choice.

Behind Chu Yanzhi, Lu Haiyang's eyes gradually became solemn.

It would be great if she could win over the Zhongyong Houfu, but now it seems that it can't be done, and now His Royal Highness King Shen has such thoughts about Xiao Xiwei, if this is the case, then she can't stay anymore!
