Xi Honglei lowered his head and pondered about Mu Yunmeng, while Ran Yunshang stared at Xi Honglei's side face intently. After looking at it for a while, Ran Yunshang smiled with relief, stretched out, and lay down on the bed.
, said: "That's right, how dare you tell such a thing. Even if you tell it, someone will already kill you without waiting for me to take action."
Ran Yunshang's meaningful words made Xi Honglei smile helplessly. She had known for a long time that it would not be so simple, but what Xi Honglei didn't understand was how come this little girl Ran Yunshang seemed to know some inside information.
What about? Ran Yunshang was still a child when Mu Yunmeng and his mother were killed. What can a child who doesn’t understand anything know?
"Honglei, you also lie down." Ran Yunshang tugged on Honglei's sleeve and patted another pillow on the bed.
Xi Honglei nodded and lay down next to Ran Yunshang obediently. His left hand was held by Ran Yunshang. Xi Honglei listened to Ran Yunshang's hesitant words and told him to pay more attention to Mu Yunmeng's movements outside the palace and help him more.
And when she wanted to pay attention to Ran Yunpo, Xi Honglei suddenly felt that Ran Yunshang seemed to be playing with fire. She didn't dare to anger Ran Yunpo, but she couldn't let go of Mu Yunmeng. Such a mentality would cause trouble one day.
Xi Honglei had to agree to the princess's request. Seeing Ran Yunshang sleeping peacefully, Xi Honglei opened her eyes uneasily and couldn't fall asleep for a long time. She just hoped that time would pass quickly so that she could leave this place earlier.
The breathless palace...
Early the next morning, after Xi Honglei had breakfast with Ran Yunshang, he proposed to go back to Xi Mansion. Ran Yunshang thought about it and arranged for someone to send Xi Honglei back. He just told Xi Honglei before leaving.
She will definitely come to the palace to accompany her in a few days.
Xi Honglei sat in the sedan chair, closing her eyes weakly, and wandered all the way to Xi Mansion.
After getting off the sedan chair, Xi Honglei walked towards the gate. But as soon as he entered the yard, he saw Lin Wanru who had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Mom, why are you here?" Xi Honglei looked at Lin Wanru who looked strange in confusion, and quickly walked over and asked.
"Leier, you're back!" As soon as Lin Wanru saw Xi Honglei, she immediately grabbed Xi Honglei's hand, looked at Xi Honglei with pity, and asked nervously: "Is everything okay?"
"I just came to the palace to chat with the princess, mother, don't worry." Xi Honglei saw Lin Wanru's panic expression in her eyes, and frowned without any trace. Supporting Lin Wanru, Xi Honglei whispered: "
Mom, if anything happens, let’s go back to the house and talk.”
After sending Lin Wanru back to her residence, Xi Honglei leaned on Lin Wanru's shoulder with peace of mind, enjoying a moment of relaxation.
"Mom, I met the queen." Xi Honglei took the initiative to talk about her meeting with Shu Rumei. Unexpectedly, when she said the word queen, Lin Wanru's body suddenly froze.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Xi Honglei felt something was wrong and quickly sat up straight and looked at Lin Wanru.
"It's okay, does the Queen have anything to do with you?" Lin Wanru asked with a forced smile.
"I didn't say anything, I just mentioned some things that happened when you used to serve her. Mother, how can you be the queen's personal maid?"
Xi Honglei's answer made Lin Wanru calm down a little. She gently stroked Xi Honglei's long hair. Lin Wanru looked out the window with misty eyes and said softly: "That is in the past, so don't mention it."
Lin Wanru's attitude made Xi Honglei shut her mouth obediently. Originally, she wanted to ask Lin Wanru about Mu Yunmeng and his mother, but looking at Lin Wanru's attitude, Xi Honglei understood that now
Even if she asked, she wouldn't be able to find out anything. Moreover, she didn't want Lin Wanru to worry too much.
Xi Honglei stayed with Lin Wanru in her room for a long time. Then she got up and returned to her apartment. Looking at Hua'er and Zheng Siqi in the yard, Xi Honglei said hello to them, and then returned to the room dejectedly.
Regardless of the image, he fell on the bed.
After a short nap, Xi Honglei slept for two hours. When I woke up, it was almost noon.
Xi Honglei thought that he had only been busy with Mu Yunmeng's affairs during this period, and had not paid attention to the Xi family's business for a long time. So after making some preparations, Xi Honglei took Hua'er and Zheng Siqi out.
Xifu and walked towards the downtown area.
After Xi Honglei found out about Liu Fu before, and Xi Yuanshan personally led Xi Honglei on a store tour. So as soon as Xi Honglei showed up this time, the shopkeepers of each store immediately recognized who she was and started to rush.
Obediently, he took out his account book and reported the business status during this period to Xi Honglei.
Xi Honglei asked some general questions and gave different suggestions to each shopkeeper, including how to place some items in the store, when and which items should be reduced in price, which items should be increased in price, etc. This made her
Zheng Siqi and Hua'er beside them were a little surprised.
"Can you still do business?" Zheng Siqi asked softly after Xi Honglei finished visiting the last store.
"I just know a little bit about it." Xi Honglei smiled slightly and answered Zheng Siqi's question casually. Looking at the sky, it was already past lunch time, so Xi Honglei could only take the two of them to a restaurant for a quick bite.
The three of them sat near the window on the second floor, ordered food, and chatted while waiting for the waiter to serve the food.
"Miss, do you think that's Prince Chu and Shui Rongyan?" The sharp-eyed Hua'er was looking out the window boredly when he suddenly turned to look at Xi Honglei.
Xi Honglei glanced at the direction Hua'er was pointing and smiled silently. But she heard Zheng Siqi, who was sitting opposite, snort.
Her eyes moved slightly, and she shed red tears. Then she thought about it, Zheng Siqi is Leng Xiao's person, and Leng Xiao has always wanted to deal with Prince Chu, so it is not surprising that Zheng Siqi would have such an attitude.
After Ran Yunpo walked around the street with Shui Rongyan, he went directly back to the house on Yunliu Street. Walking slowly into the yard, Ran Yunpo saw the guqin placed in front of the window and looked back at Shui Rongyan in confusion.
cigarette.
"The prince has been busy working on state affairs recently, and he must have not calmed down and rested for a long time. So Yan'er thought that while the prince has time today, he would play a song for the prince." Shui Rongyan said his thoughts to Ran Yunpo in a soft voice, and then
After Ran Yunpo nodded, he walked to the guqin with swaying steps and sat down.
Ran Yunpo leaned against the tree trunk, closed his eyes, and crossed his hands with his chest, listening to the sound of the water-melting smoke. However, he suddenly remembered the song he accidentally heard played by Xi Honglei in the palace yesterday.
Xi Honglei once asked Ran Yunpo why he fell in love with water-soluble cigarettes. In fact, as Xi Honglei guessed at the time, a large part of the reason why Ran Yunpo chose water-soluble cigarettes was because water-soluble cigarettes know how to get favors.
Another reason is the art of water-soluble smoke.
As we all know, Water-soluble Yan is a performer in Xunnuanlou, but she does not sell herself. Among the six arts, Water-soluble Yan has the best piano skills, which can make people come from thousands of miles away just to listen to her play a piece of music. So at the beginning
After Ran Yunpo accidentally arrived at Xunnuan Tower and heard the sound of water-melting smoke, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful that a woman like this was reduced to a land of fireworks.
And with the subsequent contact with Shui Rongyan, Ran Yunpo discovered that Shui Rongyan was not greedy for her status and money like others. She could sit quietly with her, watch her drink, and listen to her talk. Or she could.
She is very crazy about pleasing herself in bed, making herself happier than other women. The reason why Ran Yunpo decided to treat her well was because that time Shui Rongyan was captured by bandits. She would rather die than surrender and said, "Except for the prince,
No one can touch me" expression.
But yesterday in the palace, Ran Yunpo found that compared with Bai Hanyi's piano skills, water-soluble smoke was really inferior. After accidentally hearing Xi Honglei playing the piano, Ran Yunpo felt that he was even more ridiculous.
, are better than water-soluble smoke.
Ran Yunpo slowly opened his eyes and looked at Shui Rongyan who was playing the piano to him. The faint smile on Shui Rongyan's face was still the same as before, but the mood of the person listening to the piano had changed. This was the first time that Ran Yunpo had no intention of listening.
Water-soluble smoke plays the piano.
Ran Yunpo waved his hand, signaling Shui Rongyan to stop playing. Then, when Shui Rongyan stood up and walked towards him, Ran Yunpo said with a cold expression, "I will go back first."
After saying that, Ran Yunpo disappeared from Shui Rongyan's sight without looking back.
Shui Rongyan stood there blankly, looking at Ran Yunpo who was drifting away, and kept asking herself, did he say something wrong that made him unhappy? Otherwise, why would he...
Clenching his fists, Shui Rongyan stomped his feet unwillingly. Then when Ran Yunpo walked out of the door, he walked lightly in the direction he left.
After Xi Honglei, Hua'er, and Zheng Siqi had eaten and drank enough, they couldn't think of anywhere else to go, so they decided to go back to Xi Mansion. However, on their way back, they were stopped by a dozen men.
"Who are you?" Xi Honglei glanced up and down at the leading man and asked with a frown.
"We were sent by Master Mu! Master said that we have something to do with you, so let us take you back now!"
Would Mu Yunmeng go to war with him in such a big way?
Xi Honglei turned her head and glanced at Zheng Siqi in confusion, and saw the same emotion in her eyes.
"People in the imperial court should have tokens, right? Take them out and take a look." Zheng Siqi stepped forward, protecting Xi Honglei and Hua'er behind her, and talked to the leading man in a cold voice.
"Get out of the way! My Lord said, just calm down the red tears. You two have nothing to do and get out of the way!" Not only did the man not take out the token as Zheng Siqi asked, but he wanted to get violent. He stretched out his hand and pushed Zheng Siqi away.
, the man's eyes fell directly on Xi Honglei, and he was about to pass Zheng Siqi and take Xi Honglei away.
