In the evening, Qi Xiao accompanied Princess Dunsu to have dinner in the Yuxiu Palace, without eating or sleeping, and stopped to serve tea. Princess Dunsu took the gold-painted celadon teacup presented by the palace servants, and slowly blew the tea leaves He said softly, "Have you seen Dongling White Blade today?"

Qi Xiao turned his face to look at Jiang Deqing, Jiang Deqing understood, took a step forward and bowed to explain the day's affairs in detail, and actually repeated the words of the two of them verbatim, Princess Dunsu took it Pazi pressed the corner of his mouth, and said for a while: "Is he really cold-tempered, or is he deliberately avoiding your overtures?"

Qi Xiao put down the teacup and shook his head: "I can't tell, or is it both?"

"It stands to reason that he shouldn't...Although he is young, he should understand these principles. He has just arrived and needs someone to help him. You are a prince...you can't see through him..." Princess Dunsu frowned. , said in a low voice, "Could it be that he knows that you are not the emperor's relative..."

"Aunt." Qi Xiao interrupted Princess Dunsu and said with a smile, "There is no impenetrable wall in the world. There are many people who know what happened back then. The Lingnan Palace is not blind and deaf, so it's not surprising to know."

Princess Dunsu sighed softly: "That's what I'm afraid of... If you let them know, it's hard to guarantee that they won't deliberately draw a line because they are worried that you will not be able to succeed to the throne in the future. I'm afraid that Bai Ren already knows, so he naturally He wants to rely on the mountain, but he is more afraid of offending the emperor."

Qi Xiao smiled softly: "Whatever, I want to get close to him today is very obvious, and now they are probably discussing, it is up to him whether I want to help him... In fact, he has no choice, Besides me, which prince dares to make friends with him? If he ignores me, he will always be so embarrassed, and besides...he just ignores me, and he will not delay my marriage to Lingnan Princess..."

"It's just... I'll walk around more, this matter still can't get away, if the prince really wants to alienate, then that's all. The princess of Lingnan is not only his sister, the concubine Kangtai princess is also an excellent candidate. Hehe...I just hope that he won't regret it in the future, because he didn't become your brother-in-law at the beginning." Princess Dunsu is cautious and wants to do everything perfectly, so she asked Qi Xiao to talk to Bai Ren first, but she didn't expect it. It's a soft nail, but it's okay, it doesn't matter to the overall situation, Princess Dunsu looked at Qi Xiao and smiled lovingly, "Maybe his temper is like this, to put it bluntly, as a proton, his temper is mostly not very good."

Qi Xiao smiled and said nothing.

At Xu time, the harem was about to release the key. Qi Xiao was inconvenient to sit for a long time, so he came out with two cups of tea with Princess Dunsu. In the evening, the moon was bright and the stars were thin, and the cool breeze was blowing. Qianli Pond walked slowly towards Haiyan Palace, Jiang Deqing wondered if Qi Xiao was too preoccupied to go to bed early, hesitated for a while and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness...how about letting them retreat first, the slave will accompany His Highness in the Take a stroll here?"

Qi Xiao nodded, Jiang Deqing turned around and dismissed all the palace people, followed Qi Xiao around the water corridor, Qi Xiao didn't speak for a long time, and suddenly said: "That Bairen..."

Jiang Deqing didn't expect that Qi Xiao was still thinking about this matter, so he smiled: "Your Highness, what can we do with him? Didn't you say that no matter what attitude His Highness Shizi has, it will not delay your good business with the Lingnan Princess."

Qi Xiao wasn't thinking about his marriage with Lingnan at all, Jiang Deqing came back to his senses, shook his head and smiled: "It's nothing, that's all, it's getting late at night, let's go back first."

Jiang Deqing quickly agreed, holding the lantern to let Qi Xiao watch his feet carefully, but he only looked at Qi Xiao, and when he got off the bridge, he staggered and almost fell, but fortunately Qi Xiao held him up and never fell, but Dropping the lantern in the river, Jiang Deqing quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "My slave is old and blind, slave..."

"That's all." Jiang Deqing was the eunuch who served Emperor Wu back then, and served Qi Xiao from childhood to adulthood. How could Qi Xiao seriously attack him, and waved his hand, "Stop making such hypocrisy, I'm tired."

"Yes." Jiang Deqing quickly got up, looked left and right and bowed, "Your Highness, wait a moment, the servant will go over there to get a palace lantern..."

Qi Xiao waited impatiently, shook his head and said: "The moon is so big, I can see it clearly, let's go..."

Just as Jiang Deqing lost his dignity, he didn't dare to disobey Qi Xiao's will again. He bowed and helped Qi Xiao get off the bridge. The two walked all the way to Haiyan Palace. When they passed the bamboo forest halfway, Qi Xiao paused. Jiang Deqing raised his head in doubt. Said: "Your Highness..."

"Shh..."

Qi Xiao pursed his thin lips slightly, through the rustling of bamboo leaves, he vaguely heard someone talking in the bamboo forest...

Qi Xiao has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his hearing is better than that of ordinary people. Compared to the elderly Jiang Deqing, he is much stronger. Qi Xiao signaled Jiang Deqing to keep silent, and he took two steps slowly into the bamboo forest. Misheard, it was Bairen's voice just now...

In the bamboo forest, Bai Ren pulled one man's sleeve and said in a low voice: "It's okay... He probably just spoke to me on a temporary basis. He naturally knows who I am. It's fine. It's nothing to provoke me to find for myself." Is it troublesome..."

"I heard from my father earlier that His Highness the Crown Prince looks ordinary, but he is actually the deepest person in the city." The person pulled by Bai Ren turned his back to Qi Xiao, nodded slightly, and asked in a low voice, "We mess with such a person." I'm sorry, just hide for a while, tomorrow I will go out of the palace to meet them...does your son have anything to say to the concubine?"

Bai Ren's eyebrows and eyes were reflected by the silver light of the moonlight, and his eyes were gloomy, and he shook his head with a wry smile: "No...you don't need to mention me to my concubine anymore, I am now an abandoned child, and I don't know if I will return in my lifetime De Lingnan, if you don’t mention me a word, the mother and concubine will miss me less... In the future, it will be the best if the mother and concubine can forget me..."

The man raised his voice a little, and couldn't bear to say: "My son, don't take yourself lightly. In the future... there will always be a time when we meet, and my son will treat me well, so that the princess can feel at ease."

Bai Ren nodded tiredly: "Don't worry, I will treat myself well for my concubine and sister... Chaoge, fortunately there is you..."

Qi Xiao frowned slightly. A month ago, he had looked through the roster of the Lingnan group, Chaoge, Chaoge... Qi Xiao's heart moved, Cen Chaoge, the eldest son of Lingnan Wenxiang, accompanied by Dongling Bairen.

During the daytime, Cen Chaoge followed Bairen, because he was half a head taller than Bairen and had a handsome face, Qi Xiao also had some impressions, but he didn't expect that this companion was actually Bairen's secret whistle to spread the news, Qi Xiao He didn't want to scare the snake, but when he was about to pull away, Bai Ren's voice was hoarse and murmured in a low voice: "Without you, I really can't go on..."

Qi Xiao turned his head suddenly, and saw Cen Chaoge holding Bai Ren in his arms under the night, lowered his head to comfort and kiss his forehead, and said softly: "Don't worry, you are just too thoughtful, and you are always tense with me. How good it is to say it out loud..."

Bai Ren's eyes were slightly red, but he was very restrained under great grief, turned his face to wipe away the moisture in his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Go back... I will investigate those people if they can't be found..."

Cen Chaoge nodded, leaned closer and kissed Bairen on the brow, turned his head and went to the west of the bamboo forest, Bairen was still standing there and kept looking at the direction Cen Chaoge was walking, and it took some time before he touched Cen Chaoge on his forehead The place where I just kissed, turned around and went east to Zhaode Hall.

On the north side of the bamboo forest, through the cover of layers of bamboo leaves, Qi Xiao sees everything in his eyes. Under the moonlight, Qi Xiao's eyes are full of hostility, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, is he cold?Are you in a bad mood because you became a proton?Hehe... He was very affectionate to Cen Chaoge just now.

Jiang Deqing also understood after following Qi Xiao, and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness...do you want to order the spies to find out?"

There was a trace of coldness in Qi Xiao's eyes, and he shook his head: "No need, go tell my aunt tomorrow morning, I've made up my mind... I want to marry Bai Ren's direct sister, Princess Roujia."
