Chapter 194: Asking for Payment

Suddenly, Xu Qi'an seemed to have returned to the scene of her first acquaintance with Lin'an, and she was like this at that time, like a noble canary, beautiful and arrogant.

This is her usual attitude when she meets outsiders. And later, she began to chirp, showing a simple and lively side, obviously fighting the scum, but like an aggressive little hen.

It's like a princess taking off her heavy armor and letting you see the little girl inside.

Lin'an is still Lin'an, it hasn't changed, but I'm preferred.......... Xu Qi'an imitated Xu Erlang's voice, bowed, and said:

"Xia Guan was entrusted by his brother to visit His Highness. ”

Lin'an maintained a cold and reserved posture, his amorous peach blossom eyes darkened, and his voice became unconsciously weak: "He, won't he come himself." ”

Xu Qi'an shook his head: "Your Highness said this, how dare he come to see you, eldest brother, as soon as he stepped into the palace, or the imperial city, His Majesty can cut him when he turns his head." ”

Even if you don't come to see me, why don't you even want to reply........... Lin An nodded lightly and said softly, "Your eldest brother, how are you doing lately?"

When she said this, her eyes were focused and her expression was serious, not a polite greeting, but she really cared about Xu Qi'an's recent situation.

Lin'an is an emotional girl, and if you tease her, she will giggle. If you play tricks on her, she will scratch you with her teeth and claws. Unlike Huaiqing, the IQ is too high, and he is cold and cold.

If you tease her, you will only embarrass yourself.

Therefore, Xu Qi'an couldn't help but want to bully her, and teased: "Big brother, it's been good lately, in addition to cultivation every day, I just went to Jianzhou a while ago." ”

"That's good, that's good........"

Lin An nodded reservedly, pursed his lips, like an unwilling little girl, and said tentatively: "He, has he mentioned the recent court dispute in the past few days? Well, have you been bothered by this?"

She also wanted to ask, had she ever begged Wei Yuan?

But considering that Xu Erlang is on duty in the Hanlin Academy on weekdays, he may not know these things.

However, if Xu Qi'an really took her request to heart, he would definitely inquire and think about strategies, and Xu Erlang, who was an official in the court, would definitely be one of the objects of inquiry.

Seeing her expectant look, Xu Qi'an shook his head: "The eldest brother is no longer a silver gong, he said that he was too lazy to care about the affairs of the court." Why did Your Highness suddenly ask?"

"Ben, Bengu just asked casually. ”

Lin An smiled reluctantly, she felt the man's perfunctory, felt his alienation and coldness, and her heart suddenly became very sad and depressed.

She remembered that Xu Qi'an said that he would make her a cow and a horse for the rest of his life, although those words were joking, but the importance he showed to her was not discounted in the eyes of Lin'an at that time.

A man you like puts you in the forefront of your heart, which is a happy and happy thing.

But suddenly, you find out that what the man said and did before may be perfunctory and deceitful. He doesn't take you seriously at all now.

His nose was sour, tears almost rolled down, Lin An's heart tingled, and he said strongly: "This palace is lacking, if Lord Xu has nothing else to do........"

Before she finished speaking, the palace maid stepped in with small steps, and her voice was crisp: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down." ”

Lin'an lowered his head in a little panic, cleaned up his emotions, and when he looked up again, he didn't see sadness with a smile, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and invite Brother Prince in." ”

Why is the prince here, don't drive me away when the time comes, then it's over, frame and hate me to death.......... Xu Qi'an wanted to scold his mother.

His Royal Highness the Prince, who was dressed in brocade, strode in, and the first thing he noticed was not Lin'an, but Xu Qi'an, just like a beautiful woman's first attention is always the same sex who is more beautiful than herself.

The crown prince feels the same way now.

Although as a prince, his status is noble, his own blood is excellent, and his skin is excellent, but compared with this Shujishi, he is a bit out of the ordinary.

Especially when he is wearing an azure costume today, he is not inferior to himself at all in his extravagance and arrogance, and his spirit is much better than himself.

"Lord Xu is also here. ”

The prince smiled, turned his head and threw away the little unhappiness, but he was a little surprised, he didn't remember what the intersection between his sister and Xu Xinnian was.

It just so happens that he is Xu Qi'an's cousin, I will draw him into the camp first, and at that time, will Xu Qi'an still not buy my account?

The prince immediately took his seat and eagerly started a conversation with Xu Xinnian.

After chatting, the prince inadvertently brought the topic to the court, and said with a smile:

"Hit the eye, hit the eye, I thought that the Wang Dang was going to hurt my muscles and bones this time, but I didn't expect that there would be a reversal afterwards, Yuan Xiong was demoted to the right inspector of the imperial history, and Qin Yuan, the squire of the military department, was sick in bed .........."

He made a start, and then looked at Xu Qi'an, expecting him to follow the topic.

likes to point out the country and comment on the affairs of the court, which is a common problem of young officials. Especially the fledgling new science and technology scholars.

Xu Qi'an smiled indifferently and said casually: "The dispute between the court and the court is treacherous, and any kind of reversal is possible." ”

Lin'an listened boredly, she just wanted to be alone now, but this is Shaoyin Palace, as the host, she has to accompany the table, and it is very rude to leave the "guest" by herself.

It seems that there is still wariness.......... The prince's eyes flashed, and he no longer played a sharp edge, and got straight to the point:

"I heard that the reason why the royal party was able to gather the ministers and pass the test smoothly was all due to Lord Xu. ”

He turned his head violently and stared at Xu Qi'an.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really a trump card........... Xu Qi'an glanced at Lin'an and responded quietly: "It's not my credit, it's my eldest brother's credit." ”

Sure enough, Lin An listened to his words, and his breath was shortness of breath: "Lord Xu, what are you talking about? What do you mean that it is all the credit of your eldest brother, the court battle a while ago, Xu, Xu Ning banquet He also participated?"

The prince took over the topic and said:

"Lin'an, you don't know yet, it is said that Cao Guogong left some secret letters before his death, which wrote that he had committed crimes such as corruption and perversion of the law over the years, embezzlement of tribute, which people conspired with him, and which people participated in it, which were clearly and clearly.

Xu Qi'an got these incriminating evidence from somewhere, and it was precisely because of these incriminating evidence that the royal party was able to survive this crisis. What my brother said is all confidential, and Lin'an must not spread it. ”

Lin'an leaned forward slightly, her eyes were firmly fixed on Xu Qi'an, without blinking, and her tone was hurried:

"Dog........ Why did Xu Ningyan want to help the Wang Party?"

She could feel her heart pounding, like she was longing for something, but she was afraid to see the result. Both nervous and expectant.

Ha, Lin An'an jumped so fast? If I said: The eldest brother is to form an alliance with Wang Shoufu, will she cry on the spot?

Xu Qi'an said with a smile: "The eldest brother said that because His Royal Highness Lin'an sent someone to pass the word, what His Highness Lin'an wants to do, he will do his best to complete it, even if it is no longer a silver gong, so his ability is limited." ”

For me, for me......... Lin'an muttered to himself.

She was like a passer-by lost in the wilderness, and when she saw the light, her heart suddenly settled, her eyes were crooked, and the corners of her mouth were curled.

That kind of joy from the heart can't be hidden.

The prince glanced at Huo Ran's sister, who was as bright as a flower, his face did not change, and he instead issued an invitation: "Tomorrow's Japanese Palace will set up a banquet outside the palace, can Lord Xu appreciate his face?"

The prince smiled, seeing that "Xu Xinnian" had no intention of leaving, and thought to himself, it would not be too late to talk to Lin'an tomorrow.

got up immediately and said, "This palace is boring, come and sit, and deal with affairs, take the first step." ”

Lin'an got up and sent the prince out of the hospital with Xu Qi'an, seeing the back of the prince leaving, she raised her round jaw, and said with a light smile:

"Is there anything else wrong with Lord Xu?"

Xu Qi'an used his own voice to moan, "Your Highness, I want to kill you." ”

Lin'an's delicate body suddenly stiffened, and in her amorous peach blossom eyes, surprise, astonishment and excitement flashed, and her round and fair face swelled with an intoxicating flush.

The thick eyelashes fluttered a few times, suppressed the joy and excitement, forcibly calmed down, and said, "Lord Xu, there are still many things to ask you in this palace, enter the house and say." ”

Returning to the living room, she commanded in a calm tone, "You all stand down." ”

The maid standing in the hall bowed and withdrew from the living room.

When the person retreated, he immediately changed his face, pinched his waist, stared, puffed out his cheeks, and said angrily: "Dog minion, why don't you reply to the letter? Why don't you come to see the palace?"

"Your Highness, is it worried about what I think, I don't think about the tea and rice I think, and I can't sleep at night?" Xu Qi'an no longer pretended to say, and said with a smile.

"You, don't talk nonsense, this palace will miss you. ”

Lin'an hurriedly denied that she was a princess who had not left the pavilion, and she was a Lin'an who was icy and jade, and she definitely couldn't admit that she was ashamed of missing a man.

Xu Qi'an stared at her and said softly: "However, I don't think about the tea and rice that Your Highness thinks, and I can't sleep at night when I think about it, so I can't wait to put on my wings and fly into the palace."

"Even if Your Majesty bends his bow and shoots me down, as long as I can see His Highness, I will die without regrets. ”

The framed pretty face turned red all of a sudden, her face was red, and she stammered, "You, you, you......... You can't talk to Hongu like that. ”

She suddenly felt flustered, such a bold and explicit expression was something she had never experienced before, she felt like a guinea pig forced into a corner.

"Your Highness, come, let me tell you about the interesting things in Jianzhou in the past few days. ”

Xu Qi'an grabbed her little hand and pulled her to sit down by the desk.

Lin An resisted a little, then let him hold his hand, bowed his head slightly, and looked happy.

Minutes and seconds passed, and soon it was time for lunch.

It wasn't until the palace maid stood in the courtyard and called that Lin'an couldn't stop unsatisfied, she needed company too much.

"I can't leave you to eat in Shaoyin Palace for lunch, I'll move to Lin'an Mansion tomorrow, dog slave, you, can you come again?" her soft eyes were filled with anticipation and a hint of pleading.

"I will. Xu Qi'an squeezed her soft little hand.

Lin An immediately laughed, with a touching charm, she is a charming girl.

"Wait, I've got something for you. ”

She got up with the hem of her skirt and left the living room, and after a long time, let the palace ladies return with plates of gold, silver and jade.

"Stand down first. ”

After waving off the palace maid, she chattered: "Now that you have no official status, I don't know if you have any other means of making a living, it's always good to have more gold and silver." There are a lot of valuable prices in the Shaoyin Palace, and I don't need them.

"Huaiqing said, you may leave the capital in the future, I, I don't know if I can see you again in the future.........."

She didn't say any more, she glanced at him, in fact, she wanted to see him again, but he was now disguised as a cousin.

This is Shaoyin Palace, it is the imperial palace, and he can't let him remove his disguise willfully.

Lin'an had to put his expectations in his heart.

"By the way, this is quite interesting, you, you can take it back and take a look. After hesitating for a while, she mustered up her courage and took out the notebook hidden in her sleeve.

Xu Qi'an packed up his things, put in the fragments of the book on the ground, walked to the door of the hall, hesitated slightly, stretched out his hand, and wiped it on his face for a moment.

"Your Highness!"

He smiled and turned back.

The azure brocade robe, embroidered with light blue cloud patterns, is ringed with a jingle, and the hair is tied with a hollow gold crown, and the feet are covered with clouds.

Lin'an was a little stupid for a while.

.............

The next day, Xu Qi'an and Xu Xinnian took the carriage of Miss Wang's family, entered the imperial city, and were driven to the palace by the coachman.

Xu Qi'an sat on the soft floor of the wool, flipping through the notebook in his hand.

"Love the Great Sage, what a mess of books, how does the eldest brother look at these idle books. Xu Xinnian said curiously.

The eldest brother is a vulgar martial artist, but he never reads.

"The book is about a little person of the demon clan who fell in love with the princess of the heavenly realm. Because this is not allowed love, the little people of the demon clan were demoted to the mortal world and became cattle and horses. Later, the little people of the demon clan killed the heavenly court and snatched the princess back to the mortal world, and the two lived a life of coarse tea and light food together. ”

Xu Qi'an's smile was a little complicated.

This is the script that Lin'an gave him, what is implied, it is self-evident.

While talking, the carriage stopped outside the palace gate.

The steward of the palace was already waiting at the gate of the palace, and when the carriage stopped, he immediately led the two into the palace.

Xu Xinnian stayed in the living room, accompanied by Wang Simu to talk. Xu Qi'an was keenly aware of Miss Wang's gaze at him, revealing a little complaint.

Are you blaming me for beating your sweetheart, bah, what does it matter to you that I beat my own little brother............ He complained in his heart, followed the housekeeper, and came all the way to Wang Shoufu's study.

In the luxurious and spacious study, the gray-haired Wang Shoufu, dressed in dark clothes, sat behind the desk with a book in his hand.

"Shousuke-sama. Xu Qi'an made a move.

"Lord Xu, please be seated. ”

Wang Shoufu put down the scroll, looked at him with slightly vicissitudes of life, and smiled: "Lord Xu is a person who practices martial arts, and the old man will not sell it to you." ”

No, your words clearly reveal disdain for Wufu........ Xu Qi'an said that he came to the palace today to ask Wang Shoufu for a "reward".

"Is there anything that the old man can help, Lord Xu just spoke. ”

Xu Qi'an was speechless for a moment and said: "Two things, first, I want to go to the case library of the household department to check the files. The second thing is that there is an old case that I want to ask Wang Shoufu. ”
