Qingxi and Yueying got on the palace carriage after leaving Mei Jing Tower. The carriage passed through two streets and turned toward the imperial city, which was the avenue leading to Prince Heng's Mansion. This road has many residences of princes and ministers, so it is close to the city road. There were fewer people on the road and it was quieter. Inside the carriage, the two of them chatted and laughed for a while.
Yueying asked: "Girl, what happened to you today? In the past, you rarely meddle in such nosy matters."
"It's nothing, I just wanted to help that pair of senior brothers and sisters." Qingxi said, tilted his head, frowned, and said doubtfully: "I thought that girl was a difficult master, but I didn't expect that. She actually withdrew like that? It seems like her original intention was not to really embarrass anyone, but it’s quite strange.”
"Perhaps you have left me speechless after a few words?"
Qingxi sighed: "Although my few words are reasonable, they won't work if you encounter a tough person. That girl has always been calm and composed, with a somewhat calm and self-confident temperament. She is not an ordinary person. "
Yueying pouted and thought carefully about what happened in Mei Jing Tower just now. "Speaking of which, the two people behind the girl are also shrewd, and their eyes kept rolling."
"So it's unlikely that these three people just wanted to listen to music, and it's even less likely that they made such a fuss because they couldn't hear the music they wanted to hear. They're not willful ladies from a dandy family."
Just as he was talking, the carriage suddenly stopped and both of them rushed forward.
Yueying hurriedly supported Qingxi and asked outside the car: "What's wrong?"
Before the coachman could answer, a female voice came from outside the car: "I'm here to ask for your advice!"
"Is it her?" Qingxi straightened her clothes immediately, winked at Yueying, and asked her to open the car door.
After the car door opened, the woman in green shirt who was in Mei Jinglou just now was standing in front, with her hands behind her back, looking at her with a smile. At this time, the coachman was controlled by his men.
Qingxi thought to herself that she must have had a bad year this year, so how could she get into trouble again after taking care of something so well. She sighed deeply, and when she raised her head again, she was as relaxed as a cloud and a breeze, walking slowly. Got out of the car.
When the coachman on the side saw him getting out of the car, he didn't care that he was being restrained and shouted: "No, King..."
Before the word concubine could be spoken, Qingxi stopped him, looked at him and said: "You, please be patient." Then he took two steps forward, smiled and said to the woman in green: "Young lady, you are going to teach me a lesson. Yes? But I don’t have a place for you to smash it, so what’s the point?”
The woman in green just looked at her, looking at her carefully from top to bottom.
The look in her eyes made Yueying's heart beat more and more intensely, and she immediately jumped in front of Yueying: "How brave, do you know who we are?"
The woman in green chuckled and said, "Aren't they two nosy scholars?"
"We are." Yueying was about to say something but was stopped by Qingxi, who motioned her to step back and said, "Isn't the girl from Shangdu? What do you call her?"
The woman in green nodded slightly, "My name is not worth mentioning."
"Then the girl plans to teach me a lesson?"
The woman in green folded her arms and seemed to think for a while, then said: "You two girls have delicate skin and tender flesh, how can you teach them a lesson? I told you, I'm here to ask for advice."
As soon as these words came out, Qingxi was not surprised. Originally, it was not that difficult to spot a woman disguised as a man. However, Yueying swallowed her throat and moved back timidly.
Qingxi said calmly: "What do you want me to ask you?"
The woman in green touched her chin, leaned in front of her, and said softly: "Please tell me, when the princess travels, will she be protected by secret guards, and how many secret guards will she be protecting?"
Qingxi was startled and stared at her with surprise and alertness. Before she could react, she saw the woman in green had pulled out a small whip from her waist. She felt bad, it seemed that the whip
It's coming for me.
Seeing that the riding crop was about to fall on Qing Xi, Yueying stepped forward and hugged her tightly, protecting her in front of her.
"Yueying!" Qingxi exclaimed. She thought that Yueying would be hit hard by this whip, but she heard a snap, and the thin whip deviated from the direction and was thrown into the air, falling to the ground.
The woman in green had already taken a few steps back.
Qingxi looked intently and saw Xiao Yizheng standing right in front of him.
He was dressed normally in a black robe and said to the woman in green: "You can't move these two at your word!" There was a warning in the gentleness.
Qingxi patted Yueying on the back, "It's okay!"
Yueying turned around instantly and saw that the men of the woman in green clothes in front were temporarily controlled by two royal guards, while Xiao Yizheng was blocking Qingxi and herself. Her heart finally dropped and she shouted happily: "Your Highness is here.
Already."
Xiao Yizheng turned around and glanced at the two of them, nodding with a gentle expression.
At this time, Ling Qingsong also panted and ran to their side, "How are you, Heng'er, Yueying, are you okay?"
"Brother?" Qingxi was surprised why he was here.
Qingsong waved his hand and calmed down his anger, "Don't talk about this yet." He pointed at the woman in green and said, "Who are you? How can you be so domineering and bully my sister!" He said this intermittently, and it was obvious that he was still angry.
.
Qingxi lowered his head slightly and clicked his tongue, feeling a little overwhelmed. He thought to himself, my good brother, in this situation, you can choose not to speak. However, this speech makes you feel a little weaker. However, my brother
Being handsome can also win back a few points.
But the woman in green only gave Ling Qingsong a disdainful look, then raised her head and said to Xiao Yizheng: "His Royal Highness Heng is so skilled!" After saying that, he raised his hand and clapped twice.
Xiao Yizheng smiled faintly and said in a calm tone: "Shangdu is the capital. Girls, please don't act with indulgence. I will let the past be past and I won't do it in the future. You can take people away."
The woman in green also regained her cold expression and said: "What your Highness said is that when I first came to Shangdu, I had a lot of things to do. Going to the Meijing Tower today was just to see the world and try my luck.
I want to meet the princess. It's fate. If you offend me, please forgive me." After saying that, she raised her legs and left.
Xiao Yizheng waved his hand, and the palace guards also let his entourage pass.
When the woman in green passed by Qingxi, Qingsong and Yueying couldn't help but protect Qingxi tighter.
Qingsong became more angry at this time, straightened his back, and said seriously: "This girl, the princess is not a willful person. What happened today was to help the singing class, not for herself. I listened to the girl's words, and so
Those who know etiquette and reason will be able to distinguish right from wrong. I hope you will think twice before doing anything in the future."
The woman in green rolled her eyes at him and said, "That's too long."
Qingsong was speechless for a moment and felt out of breath again.
After listening to this sentence, Qingxi looked at her brother's face, which was red in the white and slightly dark in the red. She lowered her head and suppressed a smile. She should obviously dislike seeing this woman, but at this time she felt that she had quite a personality.
The woman in green looked at Qingxi again, curled her lips, and said lightly: "How do I know your identity, and how do I know the identity of His Highness? Isn't the princess curious about this?" After she finished speaking, she raised her legs and strode away.
.
Qingxi suppressed a smile on her lips, raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at her retreating back, many questions welling up in her heart.
At this time, Xiao Yizheng had already walked to her side and asked: "Girl, can we go back home after we have been vindicated?"
Qingxi came back to her senses. When she heard that he had given herself such a title, she blushed and said to Qingsong: "Brother, why are you here?"
Qingsong said that he happened to be chatting with the prince at Mei Jing Tower, so he followed him out. After saying that, he once again confirmed that Qingxi and Yueying were okay, and hurriedly said that he was going back to his house.
Qingxi wanted to ask a few more questions, but when he saw him quickly bowing and saying goodbye, he got on his horse and rode away. He was helpless and muttered: "I have never seen him ride so fast on horseback."
Xiao Yizheng smiled and said: "Lizhi is afraid that you will ask him about specific things again. He doesn't want you to know that what we are discussing in Mei Jing Tower today is court affairs. Your father and brother hope that you can live a simpler life without having to know all the complicated and troublesome things.
thing."
Qingxi looked at him with a hint of amusement: "Your Highness knows my brother very well! Today we invited you to a tea party alone. I had no idea that Your Highness and my brother are so close!"
Xiao Yizheng chuckled and teased: "Your mentality is that you are jealous? Whose jealousy are you feeling? What kind of jealousy?"
Qingxi widened her eyes and immediately replied: "No!" She turned around and was about to leave, but after a second thought, she stepped back. A smile appeared on her face and she said with a smile: "If you are jealous, that girl just now is really nice.
The subject has a heroic appearance and a cold temperament. It seems that the subordinates she leads are not ordinary people, and their background is probably not bad."
Xiao Yizheng looked like you are right and echoed: "That's right, and you have the courage to do it."
Qingxi snorted softly, "Your Majesty is worthy of seeing countless people. Qingxi thinks that his ability to read people is not as good as His Majesty's!" After saying that, he turned around and got into the carriage again with the help of Yue Ying.
Xiao Yizheng lowered his head and smiled, and walked towards his mount.
Xiao Yizheng's mount is a tall and strong bay-red horse with shiny coat and majestic appearance, named Zhui Chen.
He followed Qingxi's carriage all the way back to the palace on horseback.
After returning home, Qingxi went directly back to Chaolan Garden. Xiao Yizheng bathed Zhui Chen in the stable.
Zhao Xin came quickly and saluted: "Your Highness, Miss Li lives in the Shangdu branch of the Changfeng Escort Bureau. My subordinates have already sent word and made an appointment to meet in the upper room of the inn in front of the door tonight."
Xiao Yizheng stood up, patted Zhui Chen on the back, put the horse brush in the barrel, put down his sleeves and said, "I understand. Tonight, you come with me."
"yes."
"In addition, when the princess travels in the future, it is better to arrange for four people to accompany her. If she is not willing, just like today, she will be protected secretly."
"Yes. If the prince hadn't secretly instructed not to take action today, those two people would have been in front of the princess."
Xiao Yizheng nodded.
Xin Zhao continued: "Your Highness does not want people from the palace to hurt Miss Li."
"It's not like you don't know that she has some skills as a three-legged cat. She can pretend to be powerful and scare people, but when she starts to take action, she will only suffer a loss. Besides, she does things in a measured way. She didn't make such a fuss today just to embarrass people.
