On the third day of the seventh month, the sun was very full. When Qi Tongtong was looking for Luo Li in the afternoon, it was the time when the sun was the most vicious.

Luo Li and Lou Xiaoyun were eating cold food in Orchid Garden, so they were at ease. Luo Li saw Qi Zhitong coming from afar with a proud face, and the folding fan in his hand was also powerful.

Luo Li got up to greet him and quipped, "What kind of wind is blowing for the eleventh prince today?"

Qi Tongtong pretended to be mysterious, "Hmph, this prince is here to tell you good news." ”

Luo Li was not interested, but Lou Xiaoyun was interested, and asked, "What good news did the eleventh prince bring? Your Highness, are you going to marry a concubine again?"

"Sister Xiaoyun, do I marry concubines so often?" Qi Yutong retorted.

"Xiaoyun has been in Yanyang for a year, and the eleventh prince has married a concubine and two concubines, compared to Brother Mu Xiao, and he didn't find a sister-in-law for Xiaoyun. Lou Xiaoyun counted Qi Yutong seriously.

Luo Li saw that Lou Xiaoyun was arranging Qi Tongtong in a serious manner and unconsciously, and her body trembled slightly.

This girl is really innocent and cute.

She probably guessed that Qi Yantong came over to tell her the news that she had passed the first exam, which was too much.

Qi Yantong blushed and said eagerly: "The sixth brother doesn't have a wife and concubine because he is different from me!"

Lou Xiaoyun asked curiously: "What's the difference?" Yes, Brother Mu Xiao is much more handsome than Your Highness. ”

Luo Li forced a smile, she was about to hold back her internal injuries, and tears were about to fall out.

Qi Tongtong exploded and shouted: "Your brother Mu Xiao likes men, and this prince likes women!

Luo Li couldn't help laughing, "Hahaha......"

"Eleventh prince, you are talking nonsense, Brother Mu Xiao is not!" Lou Xiaoyun naturally did not allow others to slander Qi Muxiao, her angry little face was flushed, and her jade finger was pointed at Qi Xiaotong.

"Xiaoyun, he's talking nonsense, don't pay attention to him. Pei Ying didn't know where she flew down, and agreed.

"Got, got, got, there's another Pei Ying, you are all from King Mu's party, naturally you don't believe it, you go to the city to inquire, now the sixth brother's liking for men is not a new thing. The guards in the royal capital inspection courtyard all saw it, saying that the sixth brother had found two men to accompany him overnight, and he was also setting a table in the main hall to eat with him!" When Qi Yantong was talking energetically, Pei Ying reached out and grabbed his ear, and he grinned and shouted, "Oops! Oops! You crazy woman, let go of this prince!"

Luo Li laughed, sat back in his chair and took a sip of herbal tea.

The rumor that this King Mu loves men alone is a bit exaggerated, after all, she is a participant! She went out for a walk every once in a while, and she had already known about this rumor, anyway, Qi Muxiao didn't care, so why should she blame herself?

Qi Tongtong was angry, and he exchanged hands with Pei Ying in the courtyard, the two of you came and went with me in just ten moves, Qi Yantong, who was embroidered with fists and legs, was defeated, and begged for mercy: "Auntie, I was wrong, go around this prince, I am the prince of Qi Kingdom, you can't treat me like this." ”

Luo Li looked at his unproductive appearance, and he really felt sad for Emperor Qi.

Qi Tongtong can be decadent like this, and he really doesn't blame him, if he wants to complain, he blames his mother Concubine Yin De. Since he was a child, his mother taught him not to fight and to have fun in time. When he grew up, he warned him not to covet the throne, at most to assist a prince he liked.

Even in this case of the disappearance of the girl in Kyushu, Emperor Qi knew that Qi Zhitong had meritorious, and was ready to give him the position of deputy director of the Wangzhou Inspection Institute, so that he could follow Qi Muxiao to have a little interest, but Concubine Yin De knew about it, and persuaded Emperor Qi three times, so that he dispelled his thoughts.

This Concubine Yin De is indeed virtuous and virtuous, and she can understand the general situation.

Therefore, there is Qi Tongtong, the son of Yanyang's first gentleman.

After Qi Tongtong and Pei Ying finished tossing, he walked to the pavilion and sat down, took a cup of cold tea and drank it down, and asked expectantly: "Miss Luo, don't you want to know what the good news of this king is?"

"Don't want to know. Luo Li scooped up another spoonful of cold food and ate it, it was cold in the mouth, which was very relieving of the heat.

Seeing that she was so puzzled, Qi Yantong began to lose his temper, he didn't dare to murder Luo Li and Lou Xiaoyun, let alone provoke Pei Ying, so he fiercely asked Yuan Qin to serve him a cold product.

Luo Li was dissatisfied, put the spoon down, looked at Qi Yutong with sharp eyes, and said solemnly: "If the eleventh prince feels that he has hit a wall here, he can go back to the mansion to toss the maids and concubines in the prince's mansion." Yuan Qin is my person, prince, you are the one who reprimanded me in front of me, don't you be afraid that I will tell the prince that you say that the prince likes male style? The prince should have a good chat with you about whether he is good or not. ”

Qi Tongtong really dug a pit by himself and jumped by himself, no woman in this Mu Wangfu could not be provoked! He knew that he had lost face, so he got up and walked to the cloister to sulk.

Luo Li asked Yuan Qin to prepare cold food and meals, and he went to the study to get a pear wood folding fan, walked in front of Qi Yantong, and said: "Eleventh prince, don't be petty, this folding fan is Luo Li to accompany you, I have asked Yuan Qin to prepare cold food and food, would you like to join us for lunch?"

Qi Tongtong glanced sideways at the folding fan. He stretched out his hand, took the folding fan, and said arrogantly: "This prince doesn't remember the villain, I will laugh at this folding fan, and the meal will be free." The prince still has something to do, so he will leave first. So saying, he got up and walked out.

Thinking that Luo Li still has a little conscience, he knows that if he is given a step down, where would he dare to have lunch with these women, it is better to go back to the house and enjoy it with his wife and concubine, those gentleness called like water, everyone treats him as a master, and it is not much more comfortable than stepping on it here.

"Eleventh Prince, aren't you going to tell the little girl the good news?" Luo Li was a good person to the end, and decided to untie Qi Tong's knot.

"Ahem, this prince almost forgot, this prince just wants to congratulate you on your initial pass. He took a letter from his bosom and handed it to Lori, turned and walked away.

"Thank you, Prince Eleven, you go slowly. ”

On the fifth day of the seventh month, the day of Yanyang began to be stuffy, and today is the day of the first examination of the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting.

In the past few days, Yanyang City has been very lively, and the first-class festival in Kyushu in the summer is coming. Preparations for the Tangram Festival in Yanyang began as early as the beginning of the month. In the downtown shops, as well as ordinary people, the door of the house is hung with tangram colorful cloth, and those who have a daughter who is not out of the cabinet will hang the tangram knit made by their daughter at the door of their home.

When Luo Li and Lou Xiaoyun saw the people in the mansion hanging up the tangram colored cloth according to the custom, they remembered that the begging festival was coming. Yuan Qin and Luo Li are both from Kyushu, and they have also had the habit of begging for the Qiao Festival since they were children, and the two of them took Lou Xiaoyun and a group of maids to make some tangram colored things in the yard, and asked Li Shan to send people to hang them at the door.

Lou Xiaoyun has never had a begging festival, last year's begging festival, she just came to Yanyang with Qi Muxiao, and she has been staying at home in the house, and the people in the house wanted to hang colored cloth, but Qi Muxiao refused.

This year, Li Zi had a heart, and Qi Muxiao was not in the mansion, so he did not tell whether to dress up or not, so Li Zi dressed up the palace according to custom.

The two looked at the colored cloth in the house, their hearts were itching, and they had long been thinking about the Tangram Festival in the downtown area, and they were uncomfortable, so they made an appointment to go to the downtown on the fifth day of the new year under the name of going to see the list.

Lou Xiaoyun knew that Luo Li had tried it on the day Qi Zhitong came.

The little rabbit and the fox have been mixed for a long time, and their habits have naturally followed the fox.

Pei Ying naturally didn't know that the two of them already knew the result, she wanted to send someone to see the result, but when she saw that the two girls said that it was unlucky, she insisted on going in person, so she didn't stop it, after all, she couldn't make a big mistake with her.

Luo Li and Lou Xiaoyun are still disguised, and the two of them are dressed as two candidates, dressed in a relatively low-key manner. Pei Ying is very satisfied.

The group took a carriage to the place where the calligraphy and painting institute released the list before noon, the weather was hot and humid at this time, and there were few people in the list, Luo Li shook around in a fake way, and said to Lou Xiaoyun in the carriage: "That's it, okay, today's master has a treat, and invites Miss Pei and Lou Gongzi to go to Yuweixuan to taste the special dishes." ”

Pei Ying squinted at her and didn't make a sound.

Lou Xiaoyun applauded happily and pulled Luo Li into the carriage.
