Tianhuang nobleman

Qi Xiao got up to meet him, but he was stunned when he saw Bai Ren. Seeing Qi Xiao staring at him in a daze, Bai Ren looked down at the clothes on his body and smiled: "You let Shun Zi urge you so hard, I didn't even think about it." It's too late to change clothes, and the guests came quickly after seeing off, isn't it strange? I'll change first..."

"Need not."

Bai Ren wore a red double-breasted dress today. The cuffs and neck of the robe were densely embroidered with a circle of black auspicious cloud totems. It is both luxurious and majestic. He seldom wears colorful clothes, so he changed into this one by chance. Qi Xiao Can't help watching.

Bai Ren was embarrassed by Qi Xiao's stare, and smiled: "Isn't it stupid? This is still good, and there is a red and gold dress that is more eye-catching when Rou Jia is about to get married. Just thinking about it makes me unable to wear it..."

Qi Xiao laughed: "No, it's pretty..."

While talking, Jiang Deqing came in outside, bowed and smiled, "Prince, the little wontons prepared for the prince have just been cooked, and now bring them up?"

Qi Xiao looked at Bai Ren: "Are you hungry? Why don't you take a break and have a snack?"

Bai Ren smiled embarrassedly: "Let's eat first... I haven't eaten much after a busy day."

Jiang Deqing quickly agreed to go, and after a while brought over wontons and a few plates of freshly made meat and vegetarian snacks, Qi Xiao retreated from the crowd, and ate in the Nuan Pavilion with Bai Ren at ease.

Qi Xiao looked at Bai Ren's face carefully, and asked, "Your face is a little red, did someone pour you wine during the banquet?"

Bai Ren scooped up some soup and drank it. Hearing this, he shook his head: "No... just drank a little, did you blush? I just feel a little dizzy."

Qi Xiao frowned slightly: "I told Wen Xiang and the others to hold back the wine for you, but these people are actually dead?"

"Oh, what I said..." Bai Ren smiled, "Don't blame the good people, those people have been blocking me all the time, I was still puzzled at the beginning, I don't have any friendship with them on weekdays, how come they are so familiar with me all of a sudden, It turned out to be looking at the golden face of His Royal Highness."

Qi Xiao smiled: "You flatter me a bit too bluntly. I can't go there today and I can't have a sip of the wedding wine. If you really want to thank me, replace the wine with tea and just toast me."

Qi Xiao was just teasing him, but Bai Ren blushed even more when he heard this, Qi Xiao was puzzled, and saw Bai Ren took the tea cup with a blushing face, first took a sip by himself, then took another sip, but did not swallow Going down, but moved closer, holding back his embarrassment and kissing Qi Xiao's lips, Qi Xiao instantly understood, and was amused in his heart, he used to tease Bai Ren with the joy of a leather cup, but Bai Ren almost turned pale with anger at that time , Now I don’t mention it, this little thing is self-conscious, Qi Xiao accepts this little misunderstanding with peace of mind, and finally has to make an inch of it: "Just a toast?"

Bai Ren's face turned even redder, Qi Xiao accepted it when he saw it was good, and said with a smile: "Okay, just one cup, I will definitely come over when you get married, and personally hold back the wine for you, in order to repay your friendship with this cup of tea today, how about it?" ?”

Bai Ren was stunned: "The prince is going to go when we get married? I'm afraid it's...not good? The prince has already put in a lot of effort in Roujia's marriage, it's very eye-catching, and then go there in person..."

Qi Xiao casually said: "It's okay, everyone knows that I'm a half-matchmaker, it's too late to avoid suspicion now, I don't want to go today because I'm afraid it will be too ostentatious and make it difficult for you, you don't have to hide it when the day is right, by the way, Wen How are Yu and Kangtai?"

The smile on Bai Ren's face dropped by three points, he shook his head and said: "Wen Yu's complexion has changed a lot, although he still greeted me in front as usual, but the tiredness in the corners of his brows and eyes can't be hidden. The sky is also very sad. I haven't seen Kangtai since the day before yesterday, but I heard that she is also very bad... The emperor didn't care about her reputation, so she can only eat Coptis chinensis by herself. Now they are looking forward to Hurry up and let the wind pass, don't spread it to Lingnan, so that when Kangtai returns to Lingnan, he can still make love as usual."

Qi Xiao's heart moved, and then he smiled and said: "Forget it, let's eat, don't mention this." Both of them were hungry, so they stopped talking, and after a while, they swept away the food on the table like a sweeping cloud. Xiao saw that Bai Ren still had something to say, and coaxed softly: "It's getting late, and it's easy to accumulate food if you eat too much. You can eat a cup of bird's nest before going to bed later, okay?"

Bai Ren was obedient, nodded his head, talked with Qi Xiao for a while, and then they entered the inner pavilion.

After scrubbing, the two of them wore only their jackets and got on the couch. Qi Xiao leaned on the head of the bed, held Bai Ren in his arms, and covered it with a fluffy brocade quilt, talking one after another, Qi Xiao slowly Slowly asked him who he went to today, what delicious food he had at the banquet, which theater troupe he invited... Bai Ren answered them one by one, smiled softly and told some jokes during the banquet, Qi Xiao smiled Listen, Bai Ren said in a low voice when talking about the ceremony of the He family: "I don't care about the amount of things. Their family is not rich, so it's not easy to get those things out. I'm just pleased with their family's intentions... ...Thank you, Prince, this marriage is really well-found."

Qi Xiao bowed his head and kissed Bai Ren's head, and smiled with his lips curled up: "How dare I deal with my aunt's marriage, if you don't ask for anything else, just as long as you are happy."

Bai Ren was stunned for a moment before he understood what the term "big aunt" meant, blushed all of a sudden, and said stiffly: "The prince is considered a poor senior, obviously she is a big aunt."

Qi Xiao couldn't help laughing: "It's against you!", as he said, he stretched his hand under the quilt to scratch Bai Ren's itch, Bai Ren's itchy flesh instantly laughed softly in Qi Xiao's arms, and repeatedly begged for mercy: "Don't... Me...haha..."

Qi Xiao was afraid that he would lose his temper from laughing, so he gently stroked his back to comfort him, and said with a smile, "I'm getting more and more courageous because of me pampering you..."

Bai Ren's heart warmed up, he stopped talking, and still lay down in Qi Xiao's arms, Qi Xiao opened the hidden compartment of the bed with his backhand, took out a small cloisonne box and handed it to Bai Ren, and said in a low voice: "Today It’s a good day, I’ll join in too, so you can open it and have a look.”

Bai Ren frowned: "Decided?"

Qi Xiao smiled and said nothing, supported Bai Ren to make him sit up, Bai Ren opened the small box, and saw that it was covered with a thick layer of snow-white velvet, and there were two identical gold inlaid jade pendants on the velvet. It seemed familiar, so I picked it up and looked...it was actually the life talisman he gave Qi Xiao earlier.

Qi Xiao smiled faintly: "I asked the old craftsman to break that piece of jade into two pieces, and then topped it with good seed jade and inlaid gold to make up two pieces like this." Qi Xiao took out one of them, He took the tassel and put it on, and said softly: "The fate talisman is broken like this, I don't know if it still works or not, I just know..."

Qi Xiao took Bai Ren's hand and put the jade pendant in his palm, saying: "No matter when and where, no matter whether the life talisman is useful or not, as long as I, Qi Xiao, will protect your life, the sky will fall , I bear it."

Qi Xiao turned over the jade pendant in Bai Ren's hand, revealing the pattern of swan geese engraved on the seed jade, his eyes were gentle, as if the clouds were calm and breezy but extremely solemn: "Now, as a prince, I take this promise as a small promise, and in the future With this wild goose as proof and the life talisman as evidence, Bai Ren is willing to agree to me?"

Bai Ren's eyes turned red instantly, he looked at the jade pendant in his hand almost helpless, swallowed his saliva and said in a hoarse voice: "Why are you suddenly... I thought you threw this thing away, I..."

Qi Xiao lowered his eyes and smiled, and sang softly: "Autumn flies to the south, spring comes and returns to the north, there are times when you come and go, you will never change your mind, Bai Ren will promise me?"

"Life and death have a great contract, talk to Zicheng, hold your hand, and grow old together with you. Qi family son, please form a white-headed agreement, Bai Ren will agree to me?"

"As evidenced by my heavenly father, queen mother, and heroic spirits, if I, Qi Xiao, are here for a day in this life, I will definitely not let you suffer even half of it. The emperor, the queen, and the earth will learn from each other. Will Bai Ren promise me?"

Bai Ren burst into tears, choked with sobs and nodded desperately, Qi Xiao smiled, put another jade pendant on the tassel, held it in his hand, and said in a low voice: "If the fate talisman is really useful, then... our fate It's tied together." Bai Ren's tears fell on the back of Qi Xiao's hand, Qi Xiao felt pain in his heart, and said softly: "Don't cry, do you think my courtesy is too thin..."

Bai Ren shook his head desperately, held the fate talisman in his hand and kept rubbing it, choked up for a while and said: "At the beginning... I wasn't quite sure that you really liked me, I was afraid that you were just a whim, I dare not say I like you, I only dare to give you the life talisman... This will be my friendship with you, I will regard you as my life, you will live, you will die, and you will die..."

Bai Ren pressed the jade pendant to his heart, choked with sobs: "I thought that day... If you know the meaning of this fate talisman and are willing to give it to me in the future, then... no matter how difficult this life is, God has blessed me too..."

Qi Xiao felt a severe pain in his heart, hugged Bai Ren and rubbed him into his arms vigorously. He had nothing else to say but kept coaxing him: "Don't cry, don't cry..."

Bai Ren couldn't stop nodding his head, but couldn't hold back his tears, as if a gate had been opened. The tears that he had suppressed in the past years poured out together. Holding the jade pendant tightly in his hand, Bai Ren tried his best to choke up sobs, just for a moment, Bai Ren almost felt that he had used up all the luck in this life.

The person he likes gave him his life as a betrothal gift, and with just one sentence, the haze of the first 15 years of Bai Ren's short life was wiped away. The imperial city has finally found its destination in its destiny, and has never been wandering since then.
