A gust of cool wind blew in from outside Changle Hall. Gu Qixiu's long hair was blown open by the wind and scattered in the blurred light. Yan Xun'er squinted and looked at him, at the corners of his eyes and brows, at his fluttering hair, and at him turning to leave.

With a determined and confident back, he saw him charging into the crowd, calling on the imperial guards and city defenders, setting up the troops, easily capturing the enemy's head, and defeating the enemy.

At half past noon, the farce ended.

King Qi returned to the Changle Hall, followed by Si Chen and a dozen guards. Today was an exception. Everyone entered the Changle Hall with weapons in hand and stood guard on both sides of the throne.

Yan Xun'er was so nervous that she almost fell asleep. When she heard the footsteps, she immediately opened her eyes and stood up to give up her seat.

Gu Qixiu sat down without looking at her.

"All of them are put in jail pending trial."

"Yes, King Qi!"

"The thieves are in the tenth level of prison. I will personally go to interrogate them later and inform King Huai so that I can appease the royal family, send them back, and arrange rewards and compensation."

"Compensation? Do I have one too?" Xun'er finally couldn't hold it back and interrupted.

The smell of blood on Gu Qixiu's body had not yet dissipated, so he said lightly, "Prince's relative."

Yan Xun'er was unhappy and squatted down directly, tugging at the corner of his clothes, "Ah? Your Majesty, King Qi, don't be like this. Huaichuan and I are good friends, and we also came to attend King Huai's birthday banquet, which can only be attended by royal relatives.

, you are considered half a royal relative, right?"

Just now, she was so scared that she shrank into a ball, but now she became so arrogant again? Gu Qixiu lowered his eyes and looked at her hands. The blood had solidified and was stained on her hands.

No little girl has ever dared to do this in front of him. To be more precise, he has never seen such a woman. She is noisy and bold, and even dares to marry the head of a country.

He held back his temper and said, "You said that because you want something?"

"I want your painting!"

"No."

"Then let me paint, okay?"

"..." King Qi was speechless for several times, "I can give you a reward."

Xun'er was reluctant and said excitedly: "I want King Qi's painting!"

"Don't do things that are close to you."

"Then I'll paint farther away. My eyesight is very good."

Gu Qixiu had a headache from being bothered by her, so he said in a slightly tougher tone, "You should stay away from me now."

Yan Xun'er thought he was angry, so she was startled. She stood up and took two steps back. She folded her hands and knelt down to salute, and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty feels something is wrong because Yan Xun'er is wrong."

In Yan Xun'er's eyes, she admitted her mistake in time, but in Gu Qixiu's eyes, she showed such coquettishness. Suddenly, she thought of how frightened she looked when she was covered in blood. The next moment, she was calm and threatened to fight for him generously.

Death, he was inexplicably moved in his heart. He sighed helplessly, and just as he was about to say something, Gu Huaichuan came out from behind.

"Xun'er? What's going on?"

To salute the emperor, Yan Xun'er naturally couldn't stand up casually. It wasn't until King Qi asked her to level up that Yan Xun'er stood up properly.

She shook her head, "It's okay."

"Brother, I have appeased the royal family and sent them out of the palace safely. You can handle the matter here with peace of mind. I will take Xun'er back first."

Gu Qixiu waved his hand, and the two of them bowed and left.

"Xun'er, we took people to evacuate in the chaos just now. After we withdrew them all, we discovered that you didn't come. You stayed in Changle Hall? Are you injured?"

"I'm fine. Thanks to your Majesty's martial arts skills, he stayed calm in times of crisis and easily solved the mess."

After making sure that Yan Xun'er was fine, Gu Huaichuan felt relieved and smiled relaxedly after listening to her words, "I found that you can't do anything without my brother. There are many ladies who admire King Qi. This is the first time I see you being so unabashed, Xun

Do you really have plans for your brother?"

Yan Xun'er stopped by the Lotus Lake and drank some water to wash her face. "If you want to talk about intentions, I have them. I like His Majesty the King of Qi and I have for a long time."

Gu Huaichuan was not mentally prepared, and he did not expect her to be so straightforward.

"Xun'er likes my brother? But before yesterday, you and your brother had never met. Where does this love come from?"

After Yan Xun'er experienced the incident just now, her whole body felt hot, so she simply took off her shoes and put her feet and legs into the lotus pond to play.

"We don't need to meet each other. His Majesty King Qi's character and temperament are all reflected in his poems, calligraphy and paintings. I have been studying them since I was a child, and I thought that if I could be with him in this life, it would be Yan Xun'er's lifelong luck!" Thinking of King Qi,

Yan Xun'er was happy and smiled from ear to ear.

"I have never seen a girl as bold as you. She even dares to say that she likes King Qi."

Yan Xun'er smiled and said: "Then there's nothing you dare to say. It's just to express your feelings and it doesn't violate the national law."

"Haha, my brother has yet to be succeeded by a virtuous wife. He probably needs someone who is like-minded. Xun'er likes his brother, so I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

Xun'er waved his hand and lay down on the spot. Fortunately, the sun was not shining in the early spring, so he was still comfortable in the sun. "Nothing, if King Qi only allows his sweetheart, Xun'er will be his sweetheart. He is the master of a country. Is it possible?"

It's difficult, the road is long and difficult, so I'm not in a hurry. It's just that there are more important matters at the moment, I wonder if Huaichuan is willing to agree to it?"

"Xun'er has a request, just say it."

"Is it you who is called Thirteenth Master?"

"yes."

"Can you also give Yan Xun'er a piece of your square scarf and silk handkerchief?"

Gu Huaichuan hesitated.

His handkerchief was given to the girls when he was out teasing them. He always told them that it was priceless. In fact, it was not the case. It was only produced by the royal family and was indeed more valuable than ordinary items. However, the words of priceless value were indeed just excuses.

.

"Why does Xun'er want my silk handkerchief?"

"Sister Yan Mo was fortunate enough to be given a piece by King Huai, but it fell into the lake and became dirty. I'm afraid it won't be the same as before even if I wash it off. My sister likes it very much, so can you please give me another piece? If it's valuable,

Just remember it on the head of King Qi."

"Brother?" Gu Huaichuan couldn't help but laugh, "Xun'er is going to exercise my royal sister-in-law's privileges in advance?"

The royal sister-in-law?

Xun'er sat up, her face full of joy and shyness, "You, no, don't talk nonsense, it's just...it's just that King Qi said he wanted to reward me, but he didn't agree to the conditions I proposed, so if it's possible, I just want to

A square silk handkerchief from King Huai would be enough!"

"Hahaha, Xun'er is so cute. I didn't bring it with me today, would Xun'er come with me to get it?"

"Okay!" Yan Xun'er got up from the water, holding her shoes, and followed happily.

——

King Qi left after handling the affairs in Changle Hall, and Si Chen and a group of personal attendants followed him.

"Prince Qi, can you go back to the palace to take a bath and rest first?"

King Qi shook his head and said, "Go to Huaichuan and ask him something."

The group of people headed towards the Yanxi Palace of King Huai.

Yan Xun'er's voice was very penetrating. Her cheering voice could be heard from a distance. When I got closer, I saw her waving a silk handkerchief back and forth.

"The new one is really nice, thank you King Huai!"

Although Si Chen didn't have much contact with Xun'er, he still liked her character. He also saw with his own eyes how Prince Huai defended Yan Xun'er before the chaos just broke out. He couldn't help but whisper: "It seems that Prince Huai and Miss Yan

They are all people with a good heart.”

King Qi hummed softly and said in a solemn tone, "When did you start caring about love affairs?"

Si Chen shut up immediately.

King Qi added, "But this Yan Xun'er looks stupid, but her methods are quite good."

Isn't it a good idea to accompany him in battle, paint pictures for him, and at the same time accept Prince Huai's silk handkerchief?

For some reason, Si Chen smelled a bit of sourness.

"Go back to the palace."

"Ah? Your Majesty, are you not looking for Prince Huai anymore?"

"another day."

"yes."

——

In the afternoon, Yan Xun'er walked around the palace with Gu Huaichuan, and defrauded him of many of King Qi's private collections of calligraphy and paintings before returning home with satisfaction.

Yan Xiangguo greeted the little girl outside the door, looking panicked.

"Abba!"

"Xun'er, come on, let me see what's going on. I heard that something big happened in the palace today. What happened?"

Yan Xun'er was curious, even if my father, the prime minister, didn't know about such a big matter?

It must be that King Qi deliberately blocked the news to prevent people from being disturbed.
