Before dawn the next day, Lan Qiao got up under the surprised eyes of Little Sparrow and Shi Miaoer, and went straight to the kitchen to make breakfast, which was rich in variety and exquisite.

He thought that if Hua Yuxi came and saw that he had prepared breakfast, it meant that he really did not need her as a "servant" to serve him. If she did not come, he could also fulfill his eldest brother's responsibility and take good care of Lan Feng and Zhu Qing.

Xiao et al.

Hua Yuxi did not come.

Lan Qiao seemed a little disappointed, as if he had lost a precious opportunity to stab her, so he had to let Chun Mei wake up Lan Feng and Zhu Qingxiao and let them share this unusually rich breakfast.

After eating, Lan Feng wiped his mouth and left. As he walked, he said: "Today I have an appointment with King Xiao Yan and Master Dao Yan to discuss the details of Fengqiao Bank with them. Let's take a step forward."

After sending Lan Feng away, Zhu Qingxiao looked at Lan Qiao cleaning up the dishes and asked tentatively: "Brother Lan Qiao, what are your plans for today?"

Lan Qiao sighed softly and no longer thought about Hua Yuxi: "The pension work for the families of the fallen soldiers in Huairou Camp has just begun. I will visit a few families today and hand-deliver condolences to them."

Zhu Qingxiao's eyes lit up and he said, "Can I go with you?"

Lan Qiao thought for a while, considering that Zhu Qingxiao accompanied him as a princess to support the families of the martyrs, which indeed seemed more sincere than him doing it alone, and could also prevent families from wanting to give him daughters as they did yesterday.

He nodded and said: "Okay, please clean up quickly, we will set off in a quarter of an hour."

"Brother Lanqiao agreed? That's great!" Zhu Qingxiao cheered, jumping happily like a lively little sparrow, and went back to the room to change clothes.

Lan Qiao loaded up the car in Liuxiang at the door, drove it himself, let Zhu Qingxiao sit at the front of the car, and drove to the first family who was going to express condolences. He looked at the note written by Hua Yuxi and couldn't help but

Then he looked at the courtyard gate of Jintai West House.

The door of Jintai West House was closed tightly, and there was no light in the crack.

Sure enough, with Zhu Qingxiao accompanying him, this morning's condolences went extremely smoothly. Whenever any family wanted their daughter to be alone with Lan Qiao, Zhu Qingxiao always offered to accompany her. She was a dignified princess, and others

It was hard to say anything to her, so she had no choice but to miss the opportunity.

There was another family who couldn't find a chance, and finally asked Lan Qiao blatantly if he wanted to take their daughter as a maid, but Zhu Qingxiao cleverly defused it and said: "Don't say it's you, even I want to give it to Lan Qiao."

Brother Qiao works as a maid, but he still doesn’t get a chance.”

At noon, the two of them did not go home and found a nearby restaurant to eat. This restaurant was chosen by Zhu Qingxiao because she had been in Peiping for a long time and had eaten in several famous restaurants.

This is a restaurant called "Fuyun Restaurant". Since the Chinese New Year is approaching, the restaurant is full of people and almost full.

The restaurant has two floors. Sitting on the second floor, you can overlook the diners on the first floor. There was an empty table next to the railing, and they sat at that empty table.

Zhu Qingxiao was obviously a regular customer of this restaurant. He casually ordered four dishes and one soup, and then looked at Lanqiao in a daze with a smile.

Lan Qiao smiled and said: "Is my face blooming? Is there anything good to see?"

"This is the happiest day I have had in so many days." Zhu Qingxiao couldn't hide his smile and said, "Brother Lanqiao was able to stay with me alone for the entire morning. I can't even remember the last time this happened.

How many years ago."

When she said this, she suddenly became shy again. She lowered her head and bit her lip and said, "Look, do we look like the young lovers who ran out for a tryst a year ago?"

After hearing what she said, Lan Qiao looked around and saw that many of the customers were young men and women dining in pairs. He smiled and said, "That's what it means."

He kept scanning his eyes, and suddenly stopped at a man and woman in the corner of the first floor, and said in shock: "Why are they here too?"

Zhu Qingxiao followed his gaze and saw that it was Zhu Gaoxu and Bai Xueyin. They had obviously been eating for a while: "Your Highness and Sister Bai, why are they here too?"

Zhu Gaoxu's back was turned to them, and although his expression and face could not be clearly seen, it could be seen from his constant gestures with his hands and other body movements that he was talking to Bai Xueyin with great excitement at this time.

Bai Xueyin's face was dull, and she sat quietly opposite Zhu Gaoxu. She didn't eat much. Although there were various delicacies on the table, she only occasionally took a piece of vegetarian food.

"The Second Highness probably saw that your sister Bai was too bored in the post house, so he took her to look around in Beiping City. It happened to be noon, and this restaurant is famous enough, so he happened to come too." Lan Qiao's casual explanation also happened.

I don’t know if it’s for Zhu Qingxiao or himself.

"If you really want to invite an envoy from Tianlian Peak to play in the city, why do you only invite Sister Bai and not take Sister Zhao with you? To be honest, I am half a disciple of Tianlian Sect, why did no one come to inform me?"

Zhu Qingxiao snorted, made a cute expression, smiled slyly and said: "I think His Highness has ulterior motives."

Lan Qiao was startled and said, "What's his intention?"

"He likes Sister Bai." Zhu Qingxiao rolled his eyes at Lan Qiao and said, "This kind of thing is not a secret. As early as when Sister Bai first came to Peking, His Highness invited Sister Bai to stay at his home.

, Of course, I was rejected by Sister Bai."

"Just like it if you like it." Lan Qiao suppressed the discomfort rising from the bottom of his heart and said, "Xueyin is my junior sister. It's not my turn to care who she likes or is liked by someone."

"Brother Lan Qiao, just be tough. Look, your expression has changed." Zhu Qingxiao chuckled, "Actually, it's normal for a good man to like this or that. Others won't say anything about you. Even if they say you're a philanderer,

That's also a compliment to you. Most of them want to spend time with others but there are no good girls to give them."

"I don't." Lan Qiao turned away and said, "Besides, Tianlian Sect has sect rules that prohibit disciples from marrying for life."

"The rules of the sect are not all set by people." Zhu Qingxiao blinked and said, "When the time comes when Sister Bai takes over as the head of the sect, she might change the rules."

"Whether she changes the rules or not, what does it have to do with me?" Lan Qiao said, but couldn't help but glance at the table of Zhu Gaoxu and Bai Xueyin again, and saw that Bai Xueyin was not annoyed by Zhu Gaoxu's eloquent words.

Any emotional ups and downs can't help but feel relieved.

"Brother Lan Qiao obviously cares about Sister Bai, but he pretends not to." Zhu Qingxiao seemed to have discovered something very interesting. He smiled and patted Lan Qiao's arm on the table and said, "Don't worry.

, when the time comes, I will also participate in the competition for the next leader, and when I become the leader, I will modify the sect rules, and then betroth Sister Bai to you as the leader of Tianlian Sect."

"You can pull me down." Lan Qiao rolled his eyes at her angrily, "Even if the Tianlian Sect is disbanded in the future, it won't be your turn to be the leader."

"Brother Lan Qiao looks down on people, huh, I won't tell you anymore." Zhu Qingxiao snorted. Suddenly, he saw that Zhu Gaoxu and Bai Xueyin seemed to have finished eating and were standing up and walking out the door. He pushed Lan Qiao and said:

"Look, they are leaving."

"Why, you still want to stop them?"

"No, what I want to say is, should we follow them and see where they go next and what they say?"

"We haven't eaten yet, aren't you hungry?"

"With such an exciting thing, who cares whether you are hungry or not?" Zhu Qingxiao said and left his seat, tiptoed down the stairs, waving to Lan Qiao to follow him quickly.
