Volume 1: Spring in the Painting Hall Chapter 62: Posting Books
The whole family in Prince Heng's Mansion started getting busy early in the morning. The Prince said that there was a lot of rain in the summer, but now it is autumn, with warm and sunny air. It is the best time to take out the things that have been stored in the warehouse for a long time, ventilate and clean them, such as drying books.
The prince said this, so everyone naturally had to work hard. So the attendants went in and out of Xiao Yizheng's study, and carefully spread out the many collections of classics in the courtyard to dry.
When Chaolanyuan received the news, Qingxi was still asleep. She had a few drinks yesterday and then visited the night market for half an hour. Plus, she was already a sleepyhead, so she was even more sleepy today.
Got up late.
When Yueying heard that she was posting books, she thought to herself that she was familiar with this kind of work. When she was in Ling Mansion, Qingxi often took her to sort out the books, so she quickly greeted everyone in Chaolan Garden to get busy.
Everyone was so busy with their work that they didn't immediately notice Xiao Yizheng walking into Chaolan Garden with a refreshing spirit.
Wearing regular clothes, he walked directly to the book-exposing desk and flipped through the books very carefully.
When Yueying came out of the study with a stack of books in her arms, he was flipping through a storybook.
Everyone saluted him, and he glanced in the direction of the bedroom, telling them to keep their voices down and ignore him.
Yueying was really embarrassed when she saw her girl was caught sleeping by the prince.
Xiao Yizheng walked slowly along the long table and found that the books Qingxi usually read covered a very wide range: classics of various schools of thought, historical biographies of dynasties, miscellaneous books on life experience, character dramas, and even strategic military books. And many of them
The books are all filled with annotations and comments she left between the lines, and some of her insights are accurate and unique.
Seeing that Qingxi had not left the house, Yueying became more and more anxious. So, she made an excuse to say that there were some private books in the princess's room, and hurried to the bedroom.
When Qingxi was woken up, she was very depressed and even more angry than usual when she woke up.
Yueying cleverly avoided the sharp edge, quickly picked up a stack of books sitting on the ancient shelf next to her and trotted out of the room.
Qingxi sighed deeply, tilted her head and half-squinted her eyes. After dressing and washing, she felt a little more energetic. She looked out the window and saw that the sun was shining brightly, so she got up and opened the door and walked out.
As soon as her legs stepped out of the door, she paused.
Xiao Yizheng was standing in the sun, flipping through a book very seriously, with a smile on his face.
Qingxi didn't fully understand what was going on, but as she stared at it, her eyes moved to the book in Xiao Yizheng's hand.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed through her mind, and she suddenly woke up. Isn't that the pamphlet Qingsong wrote to her?
She held up the hem of her skirt, rushed over, and snatched the booklet from Xiao Yizheng's hand. "Why are you looking through my things at will?" she shouted angrily.
Xiao Yizheng was startled.
Yueying was also shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to remind: "Princess, the palace is publishing books today."
Qingxi then took a look at the situation in the courtyard and saw the others looking at her in astonishment. This was the first time they had seen Qingxi lose his temper.
Xiao Yizheng smiled gently and waved to everyone.
Everyone retreated.
Qingxi thought quickly and already knew what was going on. This booklet had been mixed with some other books and was placed in his bedroom. Yueying must have taken it out just now.
Posting books? She looked suspiciously at Xiao Yizheng, who was looking at her intently, and remembered the way Qingsong whispered to him last night, and what he said he told her today.
She suddenly realized: "You, you have already planned it!"
Under the bright autumn sun, Xiao Yizheng's eyes are bright, like a bright mirror, but the mirror is full of Qingxi's face that is charming and naive but slightly angry and red. "I don't like green or red, so it's not easy to maintain."
Birds don't know ventriloquism, invisibility, and disguise." His voice was as soft as the spring breeze in March: "While walking around the world, I also encountered women who took the initiative to show their affection, but being watched was not a big deal." He said
He took a step forward and stepped forward: "I like people to be close to me, and I will not reject people from thousands of miles away. I like..."
"Stop talking!" Qingxi raised her hand and cut off her words. Xiao Yizheng discovered such an inappropriate thing. She originally felt ashamed and annoyed, wondering what he would think of her; but now that the fact was the case, she felt at ease;
And his cool attitude made her at a loss as to how to deal with it. Such an embarrassing situation and complicated mentality made her feel even more depressed. The booklet she clenched in her hands was as hot as a stove, and she felt like she hadn't had enough sleep.
It gave her a headache again. She bit her lip lightly and said angrily: "Your Highness, we have made an agreement long ago that we should not interfere too much with each other. You really shouldn't take my things without permission."
Xiao Yizheng was stunned for a moment, and a smile froze on his lips.
"If you want to know something, you can ask me directly. Why do you need to play these little tricks?" She looked at the booklet in her hand again, spread it out and handed it to him: "This is a wedding gift from my brother.
Presumably, His Highness has been able to know his brother's temperament over the past few days. He is not a well-behaved son of a well-known family, but has an unconventional temperament. He wanted to give me something special, so he wrote these words, and it was definitely not to spy on His Highness's friends-making habits. We
I know I can’t believe it, but I’ve never taken it seriously. I hope Your Highness doesn’t mind. If Your Highness wants to read it, just take it and continue reading.”
Xiao Yizheng frowned and looked at her: "Never took it seriously?" He nodded lightly: "That's right, you never took it seriously." Otherwise, Li Han often wore a green shirt, and she never showed any displeasure.
Qingxi blinked her eyes, but she didn't dare to look into his eyes. She felt that her words were too harsh. She tilted her head slightly and said in a gentle tone: "I made a mistake recklessly, Your Highness, please don't blame me."
." She didn't hear Xiao Yizheng's response for a while, and when she looked up again, he had turned his back.
"You don't need to explain. How can I not see the Liu Feng calligraphy in your hand? It's not your hand. It's a sign of care." His voice was still clear. "You're right.
, I should respect you. I didn’t consider this matter, and there won’t be a next time.” After saying that, he walked out of Chaolan Garden.
The whole day, Qingxi felt extremely irritable.
Yueying felt the cloudy atmosphere.
"It's just that if you can't sleep well, you won't be able to do anything." After crumpling countless pieces of paper, Qingxi lightly tossed the brush and snorted.
Yueying curled her lips: "Girl, I think it's not because you didn't sleep well, but because you had a quarrel with His Highness."
"We didn't quarrel."
Yueying shrugged, with an expression that said it would be whatever you said.
"We didn't quarrel." Qingxi repeated it again, obviously lacking in confidence.
Were they arguing? It was obviously a very friendly communication. Qingxi rolled his eyes and picked up the pen again. But as soon as he finished writing a word, he raised his head again and asked Yueying: "Did I have a bad attitude this morning?"
Yueying nodded without hesitation: "The sound you made when you just woke up and went out scared me. It was me who woke you up, not His Highness. He entered Chaolan Garden early, but kept blocking us.
I don't want to wake you up. If you want to get angry, come at me."
Qingxi put the penholder against her chin and remained silent.
"I heard that His Highness has been in the martial arts room all afternoon and has not even eaten lunch."
Qingxi frowned, wasn't he so angry with herself that he didn't have lunch? No. She immediately shook her head. Who is Xiao Yizheng? He will not be easily affected by her. Besides, he said it
What words made him angry? She thought about what she said again, and she really felt that there was nothing particularly excessive. She could be said to be reasonable and reasonable. If there was anything wrong, it was that her attitude was not very good.
"He really didn't have any lunch?" she asked.
Yueying nodded hurriedly. "Maybe I won't even use it for dinner."
Qingxi sighed lightly. Forget it, why don't you go and coax him yourself.
"Yueying, take a bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus seed soup and pack it up. Let's go to Zhengzeyuan."
Yueying agreed with a smile and quickly prepared the food box. When she left the house, she suddenly reminded her: "Girl, why don't you bring your Dragon Boat Festival purse with you? His Highness also gave you a jade pendant last night."
Qingxi hesitated. Although it was now certain that the purse Xiao Yizheng carried with him that day was not a gift from Li Han, the Dragon Boat Festival had already passed for a long time, and there was no way to give it away hastily. "Let's go!"
"Girl!" Yueying wanted to persuade again.
Qingxi immediately said: "Okay, I can send that purse next year, and save money for next year." After saying this, she herself was surprised.
On the Dragon Boat Festival next year, she would not be in Prince Heng's Mansion. Thinking of this, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
In the study room of Zhengzeyuan, Xiao Yizheng was leaning on the imperial chair and sparring with Zhao Xin all afternoon, and all the bones in his body were about to fall apart.
His thoughts were a little disturbed today, and he couldn't keep up with Xin Zhao's tricks at all. It should be said that not only today, but after returning from the southwest, his mood was not as calm as before. He felt that he should think about some things carefully.
There was a knock on the study door, and he replied casually: "I told you there's no need for dinner."
The ajar door was pushed open, and he looked up and saw Qingxi walking in.
Seeing him sitting sideways and looking at her with a calm expression, Qingxi felt a little nervous. She turned around and took the food box from Yueying's hand and asked her to wait outside the door.
She took out a bowl of still warm Tremella Fungus and Lotus Seed Soup and placed it on the table. "Are you really not going to eat it?" she asked softly.
Xiao Yizheng remained silent.
Qingxi swore, wasn't it? She was really angry? So stingy.
"Cheng Zhan, I actually want to ask you something." She said softly.
Xiao Yizheng moved his body, sat upright, and nodded.
"I was reading a medical book today and saw an herbal medicine called Prunella Vulgaris. Do you know what its effects are?"
"You've read the medical books, but they don't say anything about their effects?"
Qingxi was stunned and curled her lips: "Can't you cooperate?"
"Prunella vulgaris should not have the effect of making people cooperate to achieve success."
Qingxi frowned and stared at him.
Xiao Yizheng lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "As far as I know, Prunella Vulgaris is a heat-clearing and purgative medicine."
Qingxi laughed and said, "Yes, I put prunella vulgaris in this bowl of soup. It's suitable for you."
After a while, Xiao Yizheng still chuckled. "Then I don't dare to drink."
