Ling Shiqi went to the store, so he didn't go shopping with him. After Liu Zhongwen came to the street, he immediately went to Xipu. The owner of Xipu was also a very festive person. He called out: "Welcome, let's see what you can buy?"
The wedding shop has everything you need for weddings. Liu Zhongwen chose a set of the most expensive Fengguan Xiapei, handed it to Qi Zi and said, "Do you like it?"
It didn't matter whether Qi Zi smiled or not, he said, "I like it, it's very beautiful."
Liu Zhongwen smiled and said to the boss: "Okay, shopkeeper, this is it."
"Oh, sir, you are really discerning. This is the most exquisitely handmade and most beautiful set of phoenix crowns in this shop. If worn on this girl, it will definitely be comparable to the concubines in the palace.
"The shopkeeper said eloquently, but did not see the expressions of Liu Zhongwen and Qi Zi change.
"I'll wrap it up for you right now." After wrapping it up quickly, Liu Zhongwen bought some other things, paid the money, and asked the shopkeeper to take them to the academy.
After leaving Xipu, there was a white goods shop next to it. It was always Xibai's family. This sentence is true. Qizi went in and bought some incense candles and paper money.
While walking, Qi Zi suddenly called out: "Brother Zhongwen?"
Liu Zhongwen looked back at her and said, "What's wrong?"
"I...I..." Qi Zi hesitated, and Liu Zhongwen's heart rose to his throat.
Su Yueling shouted: "I'm a little hungry, let's go get something to eat."
In order to lighten the atmosphere, Zhao Yunniang also said: "Yeah, I'm a little hungry too. Let's find a place to eat."
Liu Zhongwen introduced with a smile: "Let's go to Shuihua House on West Street for snacks. It's very close from here anyway."
"Okay, okay, let's go quickly." Su Yueling pulled Qi Zi and ran ahead.
Zhao Yunniang looked helplessly at the nervous Liu Zhongwen, knowing that he must have been afraid of what Qi Zi was going to say just now.
Shuihualou's dim sum is famous in the capital. It is said that its owner is the dim sum chef of the royal dining room of the palace. Everyone is happy to eat the food that the emperor ate. Besides, the dim sum here is really delicious.
Shuihua Building was already overcrowded. Qi Zi and the others finally found a table to sit down, and the second brother came up to greet them: "What do you guys want to eat?"
"Bring a pot of good tea and some of the signature assorted snacks." Liu Zhongwen ordered.
The younger brother shouted: "Okay, please wait a moment -"
Liu Zhongwen took the basket from Qi Zi's hand and put it aside. The second brother moved very quickly and quickly brought the tea. He poured it and said, "Wait a moment, everyone. I have informed the kitchen that it is being prepared."
.”
"Thank you, little brother." Qi Zi said politely.
"No, you guys are so nice. It's your first time back." asked the younger brother.
Although Qi Zi grew up here, he had enough money to buy a restaurant, so he always bought some to eat at home. It was normal that the second brother had never seen him.
"Yes, it's the first time I'm back." Qi Zi said.
"Then you have to try the dim sum here." The second brother said proudly.
Su Yueling became interested and asked: "Aren't the dim sums all the same? What's the difference between the dim sums here?"
"Young lady, don't you know that the dim sum in our Shui Hua House is made by a past generation dim sum master who specially made dim sum for the emperor."
Qi Zi's hand holding the teacup was frozen there. Why was everything he heard today related to him.
When the snacks came, the second brother took them and put them on the table. They were really exquisite and beautiful. Su Yueling picked them up and put them in her mouth and said: "It's delicious, it's delicious."
Liu Zhongwen handed Qi Zi a snack, and Qi Zi took it with a smile. The table behind him suddenly became lively. It turned out that the last person had arrived.
There were three people sitting at that table, and another one came. They all stood up to greet him: "Brother Han, why are you so late?"
The man called Brother Han quickly said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, brothers."
"Stop talking, sit down and try Shuihua's latest snacks." One of the mustaches said.
"Okay, okay."
There was nothing unusual about the conversation between the few people at first, but the conversation at the next moment made Qi Zi almost lose his mind.
One of the men in Tsing Yi said: "Brother Pan, we brothers haven't gotten together for a long time, is there anything new?"
"Yes, yes, you are a know-it-all in the capital." The other two also said.
The man called Brother Han laughed loudly and said: "Thank you for the compliment, brother. Then I will talk about the affairs in the palace."
When it came to matters in the palace, Qi Zi's nerves were more sensitive than anyone else's. She sat there quietly, holding her breath.
"What's going on?" the man in yellow asked.
The man surnamed Han lowered his voice and said: "The emperor has not been in court for several days."
"Hey, go, what is this? Is it something that everyone in the capital knows?" said the man in blue on the side.
"That's right." Mustache said with a smile.
The man surnamed Han said: "Don't you know, I have inside information."
The other three people were all excited and asked in a low voice: "What's the news?"
"Do you know why the emperor has not gone to court these days?" the man surnamed Han said.
Mustache was a little anxious and said, "Speak quickly, don't be too pretentious."
"Because he misses women." The man surnamed Han couldn't help laughing in a low voice after saying this.
"Want a woman?" The man in green said, "No, are you mistaken? He is the emperor. What kind of woman from San Gong and Sixth Courtyard can't be found by him?"
The man in blue said: "That's right, he doesn't lack women."
"How could I be wrong? I have a relative who works in the palace and came to my house during the holiday yesterday and told me personally." The man surnamed Han said firmly.
"What kind of woman is she that can make the emperor worried?" asked Mustache.
The man surnamed Chao looked here and there, and then whispered: "I heard that the queen left the palace, and the emperor missed her too much and fell ill, so he didn't go to court these days."
"Is your information accurate?"
"Believe me, it's true." The man surnamed Han said: "Come, come, drink tea, drink tea."
Qi Zi couldn't listen anymore and stood up suddenly. He only thought: He is sick. He is sick. No wonder his father came to the door in the morning. Now he only had one thought, I want to see him, I want to see him.
She didn't know how she got out of Shuihua Building. She looked at Liu Zhongwen and shook her hard: "Qi Zi, Qi Zi, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me."
"Brother Zhongwen." Qi Zi called with a tearful tone: "Brother Zhongwen, I'm sorry, I..."
"Qi Zi." Liu Zhongwen interrupted her and said, "You are a little tired, and I also have something to do. You can go back to the academy after visiting the grave in a while." He then said to Su Yueling and Zhao Yunniang: "Please help me take care of them.
