The sudden sarcastic words from behind made Leng Changxi squint her eyes. Slowly, the cold smile on her lips widened, she turned around slowly, slowly got up from her seat, and looked at her with domineering eyes.
The visitor said: "The guest does as he pleases. The host is rude first, so don't blame the guest for doing as he pleases. I have always heard that Prince Xi's Mansion treats guests well. Sure enough, it is better to be famous than to meet him."
The fierce aura around Leng Changxi immediately made the man look at him with admiration. Her words of "casualty" blocked all the words he wanted to say. A flash of light flashed across his eyes. He squinted and carefully looked at the person in front of him.
.
After a long time, he slowly said: "Miss Leng, long time no see. Shi Hao is rude."
"It's been a long time, but the greeting gift from sir was so big that Chang Xi couldn't accept it." Leng Changxi's aura did not diminish by half, and what she said was half-joking and seven-thirds sarcastic.
But Shi Hao didn't mind, and said slightly: "Although she is a bit bigger, isn't Miss Leng able to handle it well? She calmly turned the outside world upside down, but she was already sitting peacefully in the middle hall of Prince Xi's Mansion.
inside."
When he learned the news that Leng Changxi entered the palace in such a grand way, Shi Haodu was still a little in disbelief. He guessed that Leng Changxi was using a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain to deceive people, but he never thought that she would be so upright and upright. He thought that she would
He sneaked into the house through the back door, and he even arranged a guide at the back door.
"It is Shaoxuan's contribution to sit in the palace of Prince Xi." When the enemy is in the dark and we are in the clear, we must know how to hide our strength and bide our time, and be careful not to expose your own base and put others on guard.
When Shi Hao heard this, he was stunned. Before he could speak, he heard Leng Changxi say: "But sitting here, I can talk to Mr. Shi. I wonder if it is Changxi's luck or misfortune?"
Leng Changxi said the last few words extremely softly, but they had a different meaning in Shi Hao's ears.
Leng Changxi came to Prince Xi's Mansion today because she knew that there were tigers in the mountains, but she had no choice but to go there. Because she didn't want to drag Chen Shaoxuan down anymore. If she continued to stay outside Prince Xi's Mansion, it would only get Chen Shaoxuan into more trouble. If
The pursuers found the Chen family, fearing that Qin Hui would be unfavorable to him.
Shi Hao squinted his eyes and looked at her, with a smile of unknown meaning on his lips. He understood Leng Changxi's pun. She called him "sir" instead of "sir". On the one hand, she was testing the palace of Prince Xi.
Whether it is really safe, on the other hand, he is asking round the corner about his purpose in Xiuzhou.
"Miss Leng's luck or misfortune is not in Shi Hao's hands, but in your own hands." Shi Hao did not answer her question directly, but instead threw her a riddle.
Leng Changxi immediately lowered her eyes when she heard this. She said coldly: "Sir, do you mean that the future depends entirely on my choice?"
"Miss Leng is smart."
"Since you want me to choose, you always have to give the content of the choice, right? Otherwise, how can a stupid person like Xiang Changxi choose what the husband wants?" Leng Changxi is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she will not take it easy.
Let Shi Hao just fool him.
"The content will naturally come in the future." Shi Hao still refused to let go. He smiled lightly, as if everything was in his hands. This aura made Leng Changxi unhappy in her heart. She had felt this charming man since she was a child.
The beauty is too dazzling. A pair of fox eyes are not only charming, but also cunning, which makes people unable to figure out.
Leng Changxi snorted coldly and said straight to the point: "Sir, let's play riddles. Chang Xi thinks she is no match for you. Why don't we get straight to the point?"
"Excuse me, Miss Leng."
"I have seen you teaching brother Yuan in the Leng family since I was a child. You once said that you were following orders. Chang Xi boldly asked, whose order was it?" Leng Changxi's question changed the style of hiding words in her previous words.
, hit the nail on the head, almost making Shi Hao unable to resist.
He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the scene when Zhao Yuan was holding this guy in his arms when he first met him. He suddenly narrowed his eyes: "I didn't expect Miss Leng's childhood memory to be so clear."
"Since I'm speaking openly, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, sir. I even have memories of when I was just born." Leng Changxi's confident smile contained a touch of sarcasm. She was mocking Shi Hao's lack of honesty.
Naturally, he saw it, so he looked calmly and asked: "Whose order does Miss Leng think Shi Hao is following?"
"Logically speaking, Mr. Shi is living with the salary given by the emperor, so he should follow the emperor's orders. But when Brother Yuan was demoted to the Leng family, the emperor had absolutely no reason to let Mr. Shi teach him personally. Therefore,
Chang Xi has always had doubts about whose order Master Shi is receiving this order." After Leng Changxi said this, she glanced at Shi Hao lightly, and seeing that he remained calm, she continued to speak with a smile that did not reach her eyes.
: "Chang Xi understood a lot when we met in Prince Xi's palace today. I'm afraid that Master Shi's order belongs to the master of this palace, right?"
When Shi Hao heard this, the smile on his lips remained, and he indirectly admitted: "Even so, what can it prove?"
"There is a lot that can be proved." Leng Changxi paused and chuckled: "For example, some of His Highness King Xi's thoughts; for example, some of the plans from more than ten years ago or even earlier; for example, the work you entrusted to
It’s King Xi’s fate, not Brother Yuan’s; for another example, it will be difficult for me to sit back and relax in the future.”
Every move made by Leng Changxi made Shi Hao's eyes become colder. He squinted and looked at the gentle smile on her face, unable to figure out what the woman was thinking. Shi Hao felt for her.
Confused, although he knew that this woman was not as stupid as the outside rumors, but from what he knew about Leng Changxi's behavior in the Leng family, she should not be a complicated person. But now when they are fighting, why is there such a thing as her?
An unpredictable feeling.
She was said to be smart, but the idea of entering the government was not hers. If she hadn't relied on Chen Shaoxuan along the way, she probably wouldn't have made it to Xiuzhou. But she was said to be shallow, and her sharp words hit home every time.
"Miss Leng is smart. Since you can guess so much, can you guess your future fate?" Shi Hao sneered and tested.
"I'm not a god, how can I know my future destiny?" Leng Changxi sneered: "But I do know that my husband worked hard and used brother Yuan to lie to lure me to Prince Xi's palace. He will never let me easily again.
Get out. Whether the excuse is to protect me or something else, King Xi has no intention of letting him go. Am I right?"
Leng Changxi's last question was directed at the huge landscape screen behind the Grand Master's chair in the middle hall. Shi Hao moved half a step to the side, covering Leng Changxi's sight: "Miss Leng's words are a bit too much.
It hurts people's hearts. It is Mr. Yuan's wish to bring the young lady into the house for protection."
After hearing Shi Hao's words, Leng Changxi felt relieved immediately, because these words could at least show that she was safe in Prince Xi's palace. As for future issues, she would consider them later.
Leng Changxi nodded and said no more. There was an awkward silence in the middle hall, but Leng Changxi obviously didn't feel it. Anyway, she had always been easy-going. With this thought, she casually sat down on a chair.
He continued to look at the cloisonné porcelain bottle opening.
After a while, I suddenly heard Shi Hao speak slowly: "Miss Leng, Shi Hao has something that I don't understand, and I would like to ask the lady to answer my questions."
"Oh? Is it appropriate for Chang Xi to have the honor of answering Mr.'s questions?" Leng Changxi chuckled, with a hint of joking in her words.
"That's because this question cannot be solved by Miss Leng." Shi Hao didn't mind her sneer and raised the corners of his lips slightly.
"What's the problem?" Leng Changxi raised her eyebrows, with a mixture of curiosity and speculation.
"I would like to ask Miss Leng, is Mr. Chen really planning to enter the palace today?" Shi Hao asked this question casually, but when it came to Leng Changxi's ears, it evoked a secret sneer in her: Sure enough, just one sentence,
That made him suspicious.
Sometimes misleading is not necessarily a bad thing, because misleading can help you cover the other person's eyes and do your own thing.
"Yes, it was Shaoxuan's idea." Leng Changxi nodded, and added at the end: "I originally thought it would be troublesome, and I thought it would be better to just jump over the wall and enter the house. But Shaoxuan disagrees."
Leng Changxi shrugged and expressed regret.
After hearing her answer, Shi Hao became even more confused: How could this person have such a big change?
"Sir asked me a question. Is it fair to answer my question?" Leng Changxi smiled lightly.
Shi Hao looked at her with squinted eyes and nodded slowly.
"How is Brother Yuan doing now?" This is what Leng Changxi has been thinking about.
"Don't worry, Miss Leng, he is fine." Shi Hao's words made Leng Changxi breathe a sigh of relief. She turned around resolutely and spoke decisively, with a hint of domineering in her natural momentum: "Sir, find someone to lead the way.
Bar!"
Shi Hao nodded, called the housekeeper, and asked him to take Leng Changxi to the arranged west wing.
It wasn't until Leng Changxi's back completely disappeared that a person stepped out from the screen behind the Grand Master's chair, full of energy and majesty.
"Your Majesty." Shi Hao bowed his head respectfully.
"She must be the daughter of the Leng family!" King Xi stroked the goatee on his chin.
"Yes, she is Leng Changxi."
"What do you think?" King Xi looked at the direction in which she disappeared and asked Shi Hao.
"I can't figure it out." Shi Hao's evaluation of her can only be described in these four words.
"This kid is really intriguing. I don't know if he is really stupid pretending to be smart, or if he is really smart pretending to be stupid." Apparently King Xi was also confused by Leng Changxi's behavior before.
"Listening to the rumors and her behavior in the Leng family, she should be really stupid pretending to be smart, but looking at her performance at the capital ceremony, she seems to be really smart pretending to be stupid." Shi Hao frowned and analyzed.
"If he is really smart, it would be a pity. If this baby was not born in the Leng family, he would be a perfect match for Yuan'er."
For some reason, the scene of Leng Changxi turning around and leaving has always been deeply imprinted in King Xi's mind. That aura of seeming to have the world under his control gave him a ridiculous idea - from now on, the world will
I was confused because of this woman. But this thought was fleeting because there was a more important plan to replace it.
