Chapter 25: Cat and Mouse

In Tang Zixi's opinion, Qin Shuangyue at this moment and the appearance he saw in the Hookah Pavilion before were simply like two people, not only swept away the image of the drunken and dreamy man before, but also behaved elegantly and calmly, with that handsome and extraordinary face, people couldn't be disgusted.

She said calmly: "If Gongzi Qin has anything to say, it will be the same here." ”

Qin Shuangyue smiled and said: "It was Qin who was clumsy and couldn't recognize the beautiful woman before, and Miss Su should be resentful." Speaking of this, he owed a slight debt before he continued, "So Qin Mou prepared a little wine to make amends to the girl, and asked Miss Su to appreciate her face!"

"I'm sorry, the folk girl doesn't seem to be familiar with Gongzi Qin. Tang Zixi also smiled, looked down at his mess, and said self-deprecatingly, "And the status of the people's daughter is low, I'm afraid that I am not qualified to accept the invitation of Qin Gongzi." After speaking, he bowed his head slightly, pulled the corner of the black girl's clothes, and said softly, "Let's go!"

"Oh!" the black girl hurriedly pushed the cart and followed behind her.

"Aren't you familiar?" Just as they passed by him, Qin Shuangyue suddenly smiled and spoke.

His smile was very good-looking and weird, which made Tang Zixi feel flustered, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.

Who knew that Qin Shuangyue's figure moved and stood in front of her again, first smiled at her, and then suddenly leaned into her ear and whispered: "If you are really Su Qingyi, then you are really unfamiliar." We've only met once, haven't we?"

"Childe is self-respecting!" Tang Zixi turned her head away with a red face, but unfortunately the alley was too narrow, and she was a little nervous, so she didn't control her strength and hit her head directly against the wall, making a muffled sound of 'bang', which caused several women carrying sedan chairs to snicker.

"What are you laughing at!" the black girl glared angrily at the women, and the women glared back not to be outdone.

Qin Shuangyue also smiled, took a step back and said, "Offended!"

Tang Zixi grabbed the black girl who was still glaring at people, and kept urging the other party to leave quickly.

"It's okay if Miss Su doesn't appreciate her face!" Qin Shuangyue said aloud behind her back, "But there is one thing that someone entrusted me to give to you, you won't want it, right?" After finishing speaking, he took out a golden step shake, looked at the tassel on it and sighed, "Time flies really fast! Half a year has passed in a blink of an eye." ”

As the man expected, the moment Jin Buyan appeared, the little girl's whole body trembled, and a look of shock and ecstasy appeared in those clear and bright big eyes, which looked really interesting. Qin Shuangyue smiled even more happily.

Tang Zixi clenched his fists and tried his best to control his turbulent emotions, and slowly raised his eyes to meet the other party's gaze. If she didn't know that the other party already knew her identity at this moment, she would have lived in vain for more than ten years.

Qin Shuangyue also looked at her, with a smile on her face.

The eyes of the two people looked at each other like this, like old friends who had been reunited after a long absence.

After a long time, Tang Zixi hissed, "Where did you get it from?"

"Come with me and I'll tell you. Qin Shuangyue shook Jin Bu with a smile, and with the movement of his hand, the tassel on it made a crisp tinkling sound.

"Okay!" Tang Zixi nodded without hesitation.

"Little sister, you can't go with him!" The black girl hurriedly threw down the handle of the cart, and grabbed Tang Zixi's arm instead, with a look of panic.

was caught by the other party, Tang Zixi seemed to remember that there was a black girl next to her, and seeing that she was so anxious that tears were about to flow out, he smiled at her and said, "Black girl, your house is under the big persimmon tree in the back four lanes, right?"

"Yes, there are persimmon trees in my house in the back four lanes, which is easy to find. Although the black girl didn't understand why the other party asked like this, she still nodded.

Tang Zixi nodded, took her rough big hand, untied the jade pendant on her waist and put it in the palm of the other party's hand: "This is for you, and when I finish my errands, I will go to your house to eat persimmons!"

"He's not a good guy, don't go with him!" the black girl shook her head like a rattle.

Tang Zixi patted the back of her hand and smiled, "Don't worry, it's okay." I promise you, I will definitely go to your house to find you!, we can pull the hook!" After speaking, he raised his delicate tail finger.

"No, I won't let you go!" the black girl shook her head stubbornly, and tears suddenly flowed down for some reason.

Tang Zixi looked at this black girl who had only been together for a short time and cried, and he had mixed feelings for a while. She could feel that the black girl was really worried about her, and because of that, she felt even more guilty. But she couldn't help but go, no matter whether Qin Shuangyue deliberately led her into the trap or not, she had to go this way. Because she was too familiar with that golden step shake, it was her mother's favorite one Shangguan Xuerou.

Seeing that Heiya was crying sadly, her eyes were also a little moist, she wiped away her tears for Heiya, and said softly: "Sister Heiya, don't you believe me?"

"I believe in you!" Although the black girl nodded, her hand refused to relax at all.

"Obedient!"

"Don't listen!"

Just when the two were entangled, Qin Shuangyue said faintly: "Now that the city is full of forbidden troops, if it is delayed any longer, I can't guarantee that anything will happen." ”

Tang Zixi's brows furrowed tightly when he heard this, but he didn't speak, just looked at the black girl in front of him with an embarrassed expression.

Heiya glanced at her, then at Qin Shuangyue, suddenly wiped a handful of tears, and said, "Okay, I'll go!" After speaking, he hugged Tang Zixi hard, turned his head and left, not even the board car.

With the departure of the black girl, the smile on Tang Zixi's face also disappeared, and he slowly turned to face the man who made her unable to tell what it was, and said in a calm tone: "You'd better give me a perfect reason! Otherwise, I don't guarantee that anything will happen!"

"Am I so unliked?" Qin Shuangyue touched her nose and said with a look of grievance, "Anyway, I'm also your fiancΓ©, do you use such an attitude to talk to your husband?"

Tang Zixi glanced at him deeply and sneered, "You really already knew!" Until this moment, the last trace of luck in her heart also disappeared, replaced by a sense of annoyance that was teased.

Qin Shuangyue shrugged her shoulders and said, "It's not very early, just half an hour ago." Speaking of this, he said with some guilt, "I didn't hurt you before, did I?"

Tang Zixi didn't answer, just glanced at him coldly, patted the dust on his body, and bent down into the sedan chair.

"Let's go!" Qin Shuangyue shook her head with a wry smile.

......

Nagato Palace.

It was a very deserted palace, and there was no sound in the hall, as if no one lived in it, and there was a layer of dust on the brass knocker, and it was evident that no one had entered or left for a long time. Only the lush green vines climbed all over the red palace walls, giving a touch of life to this silent palace.

At this moment, in the garden not far from this palace, a little girl in her teens was tiptoeing a red flower on a flower branch.

Seeing that she had finally picked a petal, a palace maid hurriedly rushed up and hugged the little girl and said, "Princess, you have already picked it." Now it's time for us to go back. ”

This little girl is the youngest of the emperor's many children, Princess Li Yuan of Yong'an, and the queen's favorite little daughter. is stubborn by nature, and she usually likes to run around when she has nothing to do, and the concubines in various palaces have had enough of her suffering. It's just that today, somehow, I have to come to the most remote part of the palace, the Nagato Palace, which is also the residence of the disgraced Concubine Yi.

Li Yuan broke free from the embrace of the palace maid, stomped his toes and said, "Who made you move? Who made you move?"

The palace maid was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down and said, "The princess is angry, it's just that we have been out for so long, if the queen knows that the slave maid brought you here, she will definitely kill the slave maid." ”

"Princess, go back!" the rest of the palace maids also knelt down.

Hearing the queen's name, Li Yuan finally quieted down, the delicate Qiong's nose wrinkled, and said, "It's just to pick two flowers, what's the matter?"

The palace maid nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, yes, Her Royal Highness the princess wants to pick flowers, let's go back to Chunhua Palace to pick them, yesterday a slave maid saw that those osmanthus trees were budding, and the weather is so good today, it should be opened." ”

Li Yuan shook his head and said, "This palace doesn't like osmanthus. Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of red poking out of the palace wall, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he tiptoed towards the flower.

"The marigolds are also blooming, and there are hydrangeas planted by the princess herself......" The palace maid still knelt on the ground and persuaded herself, saying that something was wrong, and when she looked up, she was shocked, and said in a panic: "Princess, you can't go over there." ”

At this moment, Princess Yong'an had already run to the gate of Changmen Palace, stretched out her hand and gently pushed, and the vermilion gate was slowly pushed open, making a piercing 'click' sound. She turned her head and grimaced at the palace maid, and in a flash, she got in.

The palace maid didn't care about etiquette anymore, so she hurriedly got up from the ground and chased after her.

By the time a few palace maids hurriedly ran into the palace, Li Yuan had already disappeared. In the midst of their anxiety, several people suddenly heard an exclamation, mixed with a few cat meows. ran along the sound, and saw Li Yuan sitting on the ground with his hands covered, and there was a black cat opposite her that was baring his teeth at her.

The palace maids were frightened, and the cats were chased by the cats, and the princesses were helped by the princesses, and they were in a mess for a while.

"Who is inside?" At this moment, there was a sudden sound of snorting outside the wall, and then a team of guards rushed in, and when she saw the tearful Princess Yong'an, she quickly knelt down and saluted, "See the princess!"

Li Yuan raised his hand and pointed at the black cat that had already run to the palace wall, and screamed, "Kill it for the palace!"

"Yes!" the guards didn't say a word, and surrounded the rockery, apparently planning to catch turtles in an urn.

Unexpectedly, the black cat was very alert, and when he saw them surrounding, he jumped off the palace wall with a meow, passed through the lush flowers and trees, and ran into the hidden gate and disappeared.

The guards didn't dare to enter the door casually, and they hesitated for a while.

"Go in and catch it! there is anything to bear in this palace!" Li Yuan said hatefully as he looked at the few bright red scratches on the back of his white hand.

"Yes!" the guards were about to bite the bullet when a clear voice sounded, "What's going on?" and then a young man in a fox coat appeared in the doorway.

Seeing this, the palace maids of the guards immediately knelt down and said in unison: "See Your Highness!"

Princess Li Yuan of Yong'an also put away her previous arrogance, and obediently stepped forward and saluted: "Yuan'er has seen the Seventh Emperor Brother!"
