Wei Xi smiled and asked her to pick up something, "It's so late, why don't you have a light meal at my house and then go back?" ”

Xianghua smiled: "Thank you Shizi for your kindness, it's just that my friend has asked someone to pick me up, so it's inconvenient to stay for a long time." ”

Wei Xi glanced at Ah Fu and said with a smile: "Okay, where do you live now?" I'll visit again another day. ”

Xianghua smiled politely: "Don't bother. If the prince has something to look for me, he can come to the incense building. ”

Both were polite and thoughtful.

When he returned to Xiangmanlou that night, Qian Xiaoman had been waiting for Xianghua for a long time.

"Why have you been there for so long, but what happened to you on the way?"

Ah Fu said: "I didn't encounter anything on the road, but I ...... after entering."

As he spoke, he glanced at the fragrant flowers.

Xianghua said: "Sister Xiaoman, can tonight's supper be delivered to my room?" We ate and talked. ”

Qian Xiaoman rarely saw her so preoccupied, so he hurriedly agreed.

In the evening, Ah Fu sent some delicate and small snacks, and only Xianghua and Qian Xiaoman were left in the room.

Qian Xiaoman asked cautiously: "What's the matter?" ”

Xianghua didn't answer, but just asked, "Do you know what kind of illness the prince of Zhongshun was born to?" ”

"Zhongshun Wang Shizi......" Qian Xiaoman thought for a while, "I just heard that he has not been in good health since he was a child, but he has never heard of what kind of disease it is, I think I am afraid that someone will use this to make a fuss." ”

Xianghua was silent again when she heard this.

Qian Xiaoman thought for a while and said: "But there was an incident for this before, and after that incident, everyone rarely talked about Shizi's illness, and they were not very close to him." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Originally, there was a rare bird hall in the capital, which was built by the lord of Changning County, and many princes and nobles liked to go there to enjoy it. The prince of Chungshun also went. At that time, there was a very beautiful white peacock in the rare bird hall, and ordinary people didn't care about it when they went to see it, only that time when they were loyal to Wang Shizi, the white peacock suddenly flew down from the tree, causing Zhongshun Wang Shizi to get sick. ”

Xianghua remembered today's events and asked, "What happened next?" ”

Qian Xiaoman shook his head and said: "Then it was naturally the King of Zhongshun who was furious, even if the county lord of Changning pleaded in every possible way, saying that the white peacock was happy to see the prince, and it would be useless to fly down to open the screen." In the end, it was King Chungshun who ordered the beautiful white peacock to be shot, and it was said that the blood had stained all the feathers red. There was a lot of uproar about it at the time, but now no one dares to mention it anymore. ”

Xianghua couldn't help but be frightened. If the King of Zhongshun had learned of today's events, she would have ended up like the white peacock.

"Xianghua, what's wrong with you?" Qian Xiaoman saw that she was absent-minded and a little worried.

Xianghua smiled reluctantly and told her what happened today.

Qian Xiaoman has traveled north and south since he was a child, and he has also encountered many cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, but he couldn't help but change his face after hearing this.

"Shizi didn't have anything to do later, right?"

Xianghua nodded: "Fortunately, I fed the medicine in time, otherwise it would be difficult to say." ”

Qian Xiaoman hurriedly asked, "Did he say anything later?" ”

Xianghua shook her head.

"He looked very bad at the time, but he just told me to go."

Qian Xiaoman exhaled when he heard this, and reluctantly said with peace of mind: "That's good." Listening to his tone, it is clear that he wants to cover up this matter for you, and you must not mention it in front of outsiders. ”

Xianghua lowered her eyes and thought for a while: "I know that he has the heart to cover it up for me, but why he is so angry, he really hasn't figured it out." When I see him again in the future, I am afraid that something like this will happen again. ”

Qian Xiaoman thought about it and felt that it was reasonable, so he said: "You carefully talk about the before and after meeting today, and I will think about it with you." ”

Xianghua said it carefully, and also said that time because of the unhappiness caused by Wang Chaoyi, and finally said: "Long Wu said that what I said is not right, so in the eyes of the prince, what am I?" ”

Qian Xiaoman hugged his hands and said: "Xianghua, the prince is different from me, there is one thing you need to keep in mind - the prince can condescend to talk to you, but we must not think that we can be equal to them, no matter how close he is to you." ”

Xianghua recalled the first time she saw Wei Ping angry, so she nodded silently.

"So what we think in their eyes is just what they say, and it's useless for us to think about it. But as far as these few things are concerned, I don't think that Long Wu is wrong, in the eyes of the prince, you should be between ordinary folk girls and friends. ”

"Between?" Xianghua tilted her head, a little puzzled.

Qian Xiaoman said with a heartfelt voice: "That's right. So if you make a mistake occasionally, the son of the world will be angry. But if you make a mistake that threatens your life, he will hide it for you. ”

Xianghua heard her say this, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

"Then what should I do if this is not up or down?"

Qian Xiaoman smiled: "Don't do it." The Zhongshun Mansion and the Yiyong Mansion are currently hot, how many people want to make friends with the two princes but can't ask for it, you have taken advantage of it for nothing. In the future, when you meet with the prince of Zhongshun, pay more attention to proportion, don't say it if you don't know how to say it, and it's always right to praise him more. ”

When Xianghua heard her say this, it didn't seem to be a big deal.

But as soon as she lay on the bed, she remembered Wei Ping's illness, and she didn't know if Yan was serious, and she didn't know if she was asleep at this time...... I tossed and turned for most of the night, and only at dawn did I fall asleep in a daze.

When Ying'er came in with the washing water, Xianghua just woke up.

Xianghua put on her clothes and said, "You are not really my maid, you don't have to serve me, I will wash it myself." ”

Ying'er said: "I'm here to wake you up, and someone downstairs is looking for me." ”

"Who?" Xianghua's first thought was the people of the loyal royal palace.

Ying'er said: "It's the son of the world who spoke to you politely yesterday." ”

When Xianghua heard that it was Wei Xi, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You ask him to wait for a while, and I will come right away." ”

Wei Xi didn't wait long before he saw Xianghua coming down from upstairs.

She changed into a moonlight ruyi moire brocade jacket today, wore a wisp of gold and a hundred butterflies and wore a flower cloud satin skirt, only wore a gilded dotted emerald hairpin on her head, did not wear earrings, and on her wrist was a pair of Hetian white jade bracelets, which was a little more lazy at home than yesterday, but it showed the original character of Xianghua.

"I've kept the prince waiting." Xianghua gave her a salute.

Wei Xi smiled: "You're welcome." I deliberately found a private room where no one disturbed me, because I wanted to have a good conversation with Miss Xianghua. ”

Xianghua smiled slightly and said, "Please advise the prince." ”

Wei Xi put back a smile on his face and said seriously: "I'll just say it directly." I know why you came all the way from Jinzhou to the capital this time, and some people should also know. This is not a trivial matter, and you must be careful. ”

Xianghua thought about it, and could probably guess who was going to intervene, so she said, "I'm just handing over the chili pepper to that father-in-law, and I don't care about the rest, is it also dangerous?" ”

Wei Xi nodded solemnly.
