After the dinner, Nangong Yan was going back to the palace. When he crossed the courtyard, he accidentally met Si Jianzhou.
"The Lord is going back to the house?" from the first meeting to now, Si Jianzhou has always been so calm, which makes Nangong Yan puzzled.
This time, they originally thought that the envoy of the state of Qi had a purpose. Maybe he came for the purpose of treasure map, but just a few days ago, the accompanying official of the state of Qi came to remind ah Xue to be careful these days. Nangongyan really didn't understand his routine.
Nangong Yan replied quietly, "it's so late that the king should go back, but why haven't you slept yet, but you're not used to here?"
"No, I'm worried. I'm just used to going to bed late."
He often meditates alone in a daze, because he considers too many things, so he often can't sleep in the middle of the night.
"In that case, I won't bother you and leave."
As Nangong Yan was about to leave, Si Jianzhou behind suddenly said, "I will take my brother to visit the palace in person tomorrow. At that time, I hope the prince will not dislike us for disturbing the quiet days of you and the princess."
Nangong Yantou did not return and said, "I'm waiting for you at any time."
After Nangong Yan left, Si Jingzhe came out of the dark. He leaned his whole body against the big pillar: "brother, are we really going to King Rui's house tomorrow?"
Si Jianzhou looked back and asked, "do you think I was joking just now?"
What should come always comes. It's better to face it directly than to wait for death. It's better to take the initiative than to be passive.
The Secretary saw the boat and walked slowly to his room: "it's so late. Go back and have a rest early. You can get up early tomorrow."
Si Jingzhe stood in the courtyard and looked left and right. Finally, he couldn't help saying, "don't go, brother. I don't know where I live."
All the houses in this place look the same. He's new here. How does he know where he lives?
After Nangong Yan returned to the house, Ji Qingxue asked him how he received the banquet today. What can he see.
Nangong Yan replied, "I didn't see the clue, but today I met two unexpected people in another hall all over the world."
"Who?" Ji Qingxue was very curious about who the unexpected person in Nangong Yan's mouth would be. She asked tentatively, "do I still know these two people?"
Nangong Yan just looked at her with great interest: "since it's all said here, ah Xue might as well guess who those two people are?"
Ji Qingxue thought for a moment. After thinking for a while, there was a flash of light in her head. She said quite unbelievably, "it can't be the two people I think?"
Nangong Yan slightly reached his head: "ah Xue is really smart. I think of it when I think about it."
Ji Qingxue exclaimed, "is it really Si Jianzhou and Si Jingzhe?"
It's really unexpected that they should be the accompanying officials of the envoy of the state of Qi this time.
"Later, since they are officials of the state of Qi, Si Jianzhou reminded me to be careful recently. Why?"
After all, it seems to Nangong Yan and Ji Qingxue that they are the Qi mission to guard against recently. Is it the secretary who sees the boat and betrays the country?
Nangong Yan was not very clear about the purpose of Si Jianzhou: "Si Jianzhou said that he would come to the palace to pay an official visit tomorrow. We'll see you then."
It can only be so, but then again, what does Si Jianzhou want to do? His behavior really confused Ji Qingxue.
Ji Qingxue was sleeping comfortably in the early morning of the vertical day. Si Jianzhou came to visit with a startled sting.
So Ji Qingxue is reluctantly pulled out of bed by yun'er. Yun'er says that two are envoys of the state of Qi. Ji Qingxue can't lose his identity.
Ji Qingxue stretched out and yawned, letting yun'er fiddle with it and come over.
"Sister, how about wearing this hairpin today?" yun'er handed it to her.
Ji Qingxue opened her eyes and looked at herself in the bronze mirror. Just to see two people, do you need to dress so ceremoniously?
"Yun'er, I'll change into a simpler dress later. Just comb the simplest bun for me. It doesn't have to be so complicated."
After listening to Ji Qingxue's words, yun'er hesitated: "but elder sister, they..."
Ji Qingxue turned to her and said, "my good cloud, don't be. Your elder sister, I'm a natural beauty and can't give up. Even if I don't use this gorgeous clothes and jewelry, I can set off my beautiful appearance. It's called shuifurong elegant and indifferent."
In fact, to put it bluntly, she is lazy and troublesome. Besides, yun'er now attaches so much importance to Si Jianzhou and the two of them. If you let yun'er know that Si Jianzhou is the person who left a letter to meet her that day, I'm afraid that yun'er will take a broom to drive them out of the house regardless of his identity. How can he be so polite.
Ji Qingxue is late. Nangong Yan and Si Jianzhou in the front hall have a very happy conversation, but they just try to test each other. Only they know what's true and what's false in this smile.
"Why do I think magpies are always calling outside my window this morning? It turns out that there are distinguished guests at the door." Ji Qingxue smiled at them. "I haven't seen you for a long time."
Seeing the boat, the Secretary replied politely, "what the princess said, we can't be distinguished guests."
Ji Qingxue sat next to Nangong Yan and pulled the corners of her mouth: "last time I was in the street, I was sorry that Qingxue was clumsy, but I didn't recognize your identity."
"My brothers arrived in Kyoto a few days earlier than others, so they took advantage of their leisure time to stroll around Kyoto. We really didn't expect to meet the princess on the street. Maybe we were destined, as the prince said."
This si Jianzhou is really watertight. He can always round his words. It seems impossible to know what he has to say from him.
Ji Qingxue's eyes moved to Si Jingzhe, who was silent throughout the whole process: "is it the first time for Mr. Si to come to Dayan? How are you sleeping in Kyoto these days? I heard that people who leave their hometown for the first time will not adapt to the new environment. Maybe they won't be able to sleep in the middle of the night and go out everywhere."
Si Jingzhe's hand holding the tea cup couldn't help shaking. She almost fell all the cups in her hand. The woman obviously did it on purpose.
He was obviously mocking his attack on the palace at night.
Si Jingzhe pretended to be painless and said, "thank you for your concern. I sleep well every night."
Ji Qingxue raised her eyebrows: "that's good, then I'm relieved."
Si Jingzhe suddenly felt flustered. At this time, a shadow suddenly rushed to the front hall, and then fell steadily in Ji Qingxue's arms.
When Si Jingzhe saw the shadow clearly, he was even more angry. It was the red flame fox.
Now it looks so obedient. I'm afraid it has recognized the Lord.
"The fox is so cute. I don't know its name." is Si Jianzhou more calm.
Ji Qingxue gently follows the fur for Xiaohuo: "it's called Xiaohuo."
Si Jingzhe couldn't hold back. A mouthful of tea gushed out. He asked incredulously, "what do you call it?"
"Small fire, what's the problem?"
"Well, no, I just want to say that the name is really good." Si Jingzhe looked at Nangong Yan with a calm face at the moment. He didn't know what was going on, so he suddenly sympathized with him.
