Xu Zhiqiong can't leave, the prince won't allow him to leave, and the prince will come to play with him tonight.
Just play!
After staying in the hut for a day, Xu Zhiqiong did not dare to go out except to tell Ling Ren to get ice.
An opponent you cannot see is difficult to deal with, and an opponent you can see but cannot understand is even more difficult. Xu Zhiqiong could not see the prince's intentions at all, nor did he know what action he would take next.
He forces me to enter the East Palace tonight. How should I respond? What will be the consequences of going to the East Palace?
A series of plans emerged in his mind. After nightfall, Xu Zhiqiong calmed down and prepared to deal with the prince.
There are two bottom lines for dealing with:
First, don’t hurt the prince.
Second, you cannot go to the East Palace with him.
At the second watch, someone knocked on the door.
"Is the supervisor here? I'm here to get ice."
It's pretending to be a woman again, so boring.
Xu Zhiqiong opened the door and said with a smile: "Your Highness, I'm not talking about you, it's just your appearance, you... you really look alike this time."
A woman stood outside the door, staring at Xu Zhiqiong with clear eyes.
"Senior Brother Xu! Why are you here?" Han Di exclaimed.
Xu Zhiqiong sneered and said: "Your Highness really tried his best to deceive me by pretending to be an acquaintance."
Han Di was puzzled: "Brother, what are you talking about? Why are you pretending to be acquaintances?"
Xu Zhiqiong praised: "The fragrance of tea is astounding in your words and deeds. Your Highness has learned the essence!"
Han Di became more and more puzzled: "Brother, what happened to you?"
"I'm very good. Let's speak with conscience. Since I have seen through your identity, you should stop pretending."
After saying that, Xu Zhiqiong put his hand on Han Di's conscience.
Unfair.
Xu Zhiqiong pinched Han Di's conscience.
"What materials did Your Highness use? How to make it look like the real thing?"
"It can be fake!" Han Di was furious and pushed Xu Zhiqiong away, "Senior brother, how dare you do this? How can my little sister tolerate you being frivolous!"
Han Di cried.
Xu Zhiqiong thought about the shape of conscience, and it seemed to be true.
"Junior sister Han? Is it really you?"
"Who else could it be? How can you think so little of me!" Han Di cried more and more miserably.
"It's because of my brother. Sister, don't cry. Come into the house quickly and I'll make you a cup of green tea."
"Who cares about your tea!" Han Di sobbed, "I'm here to get ice for the Sixth Princess."
"Sixth Princess?"
The sixth princess is the most beloved daughter of Emperor Zhaoxing. Her name is Liang Yuyao and she lives in Yuyaoju next to the East Palace.
Yuyao Residence is a house built by the emperor specifically for the Sixth Princess. Although it is luxurious and grand, its scale cannot be compared with that of the East Palace, and it does not have its own ice cellar. If you want to use ice, you can usually go to the nearest ice cellar outside the East Palace.
When did Han Di become the sixth princess's lover?
Xu Zhiqiong was stunned: "Junior sister Han? When did you enter the palace?"
Han Di snorted coldly: "Thanks to senior brother, I was kicked out of Qingyi Pavilion. Senior brother is satisfied?"
Xu Zhiqiong's face was full of astonishment and he said: "Junior sister swept the floor? Where were you sweeping the floor? But was it senior brother who harmed you?"
"Senior brother didn't harm me, I deserved it!" Han Di bit his lip, "My little sister was confused and made a big mistake. She was expelled by Jiang Shaoshi. Now she has no way to go. She finally found a job with the Sixth Princess.
On an errand, I just came to the palace today, just to get some ice. Who knew that senior brother’s ice is so valuable..."
It's quite expensive.
Yang Wu didn't know how much money and effort he spent, and he didn't even touch it.
Xu Zhiqiong directly grasped the junior sister's conscience with just a box of ice.
Junior sister has a great conscience!
And the ice is not his yet.
"Junior sister, please wait here for a moment. I'll ask someone to bring you ice."
Han Di looked at Xu Zhiqiong, the anger on his face was still there, but his tone was much softer: "Senior brother, why are you here at the palace? I heard that you have just been promoted to Qing Deng Lang and are rising rapidly in the Deng Yamen. How did you get here?
Doing this errand in the palace?"
In his words, there was a bit of grievance, a bit of envy, a bit of anger, a bit of resentment, and a bit of concern.
The real purpose of this sentence is to get information from Xu Zhiqiong.
Only then did she pretend to be extremely surprised. In fact, she had already known that Xu Zhiqiong was in the palace, and she wanted to know the purpose of Xu Zhiqiong's visit to the palace.
The junior sister presented tea art, and Xu Zhiqiong could not slack off.
"Isn't this all caused by junior sister?"
Han Di said in shock: "When did my little sister harm my senior brother?"
Xu Zhiqiong looked aggrieved: "Yang Wu went to the submersible team, do you think I can live in peace? Yang Wu and I both sent messages to the junior sister, but we were implicated by the junior sister and came here to guard the ice cellar."
"My little sister was wronged. How can you say that you were implicated by me? My little sister has been wronged so much, but there is still no way to redress her injustice. Senior brother, you still blame me!" After saying this, Han Di began to sob softly.
Xu Zhiqiong rubbed his hands and said with a look of shame on his face: "Junior sister, don't cry, don't cry. It's all senior brother's fault. Senior brother is stupid. Don't argue with me."
Han Di sobbed for a long time, wiped his tears and said, "Brother, didn't you just say there was tea? My little sister is really thirsty."
He is worthy of being a master of tea art, his mood changes smoothly and naturally.
Xu Zhiqiong quickly invited Han Di into the house and made two cups of green tea.
The tea was brewed very roughly, without grinding, just boiling water to brew the tea leaves.
Han Di was not picky and said softly: "A cup of tea is as clear as my senior brother's heart."
Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "Junior Sister is so kind. From now on, I will make tea for Junior Sister every day."
Junior Sister Han, you really have no memory. You have suffered so much, but you still dare to come and drink my tea!
After taking two sips of tea, Han Di asked, "Senior brother, are you really just here to take care of the ice cellar?"
Xu Zhiqiong said naively: "If we don't take care of the ice cellar, what else can we do?"
Han Di sighed softly: "I don't know how long my little sister will stay in the palace. She may never be able to get out in her lifetime. If my senior brother wants to stay here too, we..."
At this point, Junior Sister blushed.
Why are you blushing? I'll tell you for you.
Xu Zhiqiong said naively: "Then we will stay here for the rest of our lives!"
"Senior brother made fun of me again. He can't trust my little sister, but my little sister has always been sincere to you."
"I am also sincere to my junior sister. I am here just to take care of the ice cellar."
Han Di sighed: "Senior brother can't trust me, but my sister won't be able to stay with him in the future. My sister is not worthy of you."
Xu Zhiqiong looked nervous: "Why don't you accompany me? Are you going to sweep the floor? I also have a broom here, I will sweep with my junior sister!"
Han Di let out a long sigh: "Brother, just laugh at me. My little sister has suffered so much from my brother. It's all her own fault."
As he spoke, tears flashed in his eyes, and Han Di used traditional skills.
Xu Zhiqiong looked flustered and quickly comforted him: "Why are you crying again? Senior brother, did you say the wrong thing again?"
Gu Yan
"Senior brother is right. He only talked about sweeping the floor. This is exactly what my little sister does. She does laundry, lights the fire, carries water and sweeps the yard. I'm afraid she will have to be a handyman for the rest of her life.
The younger sister is not willing to give in. She is really not willing to give in. All the things that happened in the past were all because of the younger sister. Senior brother, give the younger sister another chance. When the senior brother came to the palace, he must be doing something big. The younger sister came to the senior brother today because she really wanted to make peace with her.
Senior brother will do something big again."
Speaking of this, Han Di's voice trembled and he burst into tears.
Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said with a sincere expression: "Don't come to my place to do important things. The toilet is right outside the door."
Han Di sighed and said: "Senior brother is teasing me again. I have been my classmate for ten years, but my younger sister is clumsy. My senior brother is full of talent and knowledge, but he hides it. My younger sister is so ignorant. She has never noticed it at all, but she still uses some naughty tricks to tease her."
Senior brother,
Senior brother, all the mistakes are my fault. Now that I have come to this point, I only hope that senior brother can take pity on my little sister and give her another chance to change. If senior brother still hates me..."
Han Di looked at the riding crop on the wall, stood up and took it off: "Brother, please give me a good beating. The little sister won't say a word, but let me teach you a lesson!"
After saying that, Han Di knelt down in front of Xu Zhiqiong.
Han Di has made progress, and his skill in using the bitter meat trick is superb. Judging from the tea ceremony system, he has at least a fifth-level cultivation level.
Xu Zhiqiong helped Han Di up and said, "What did my junior sister say? Why would I want to beat you? The past is in the past. Whatever my junior sister's orders, just say them."
"How dare you say anything? My little sister only wants one thing. I want to go back to Qingyi Pavilion and don't want to waste my life in the palace."
Xu Zhiqiong frowned and said, "This is difficult to handle. I usually have little contact with Qingyi Pavilion."
"Senior brother is Wu Qianhu's confidant. If my little sister can make some contributions to Wu Qianhu, as long as Qianhu is willing to speak, Jiang Shaoshi will definitely take my little sister back into his sect."
Xu Zhiqiong said with a worried look on his face: "Just opening your mouth won't do it, you have to touch the real guy."
Han Di took Xu Zhiqiong's hand and said with tears: "Please help me, senior brother."
Look at the tears on his face, waiting for Xu Zhiqiong to reach out and wipe them away.
Xu Zhiqiong picked up the rag on the table, shook it off, and wiped it with Han Di.
"Junior Sister Han, I really have something to ask you for help."
"Senior brother, just give your orders."
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Do you know Yinggeyuan?"
"Yinggeyuan? Is it a place to listen to music?" Junior Sister looked innocent.
"Do you know Wangyu Pavilion?"
"But a place to enjoy the rain?" Junior Sister looked confused.
"Do you know the Dehua class?"
"But the embroidery class?" The junior sister looked innocent.
Xu Zhiqiong said: "I saw a girl in Dehua class that day who looked exactly like you."
"How could I be in that kind of...how could I be able to embroider?" Han Di forced a smile, "Senior brother, what's so special about these places?"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "These places are very special. Let me tell you in detail. Yinggeyuan is divided into four courtyards..."
Xu Zhiqiong traveled all over the world and talked for more than half an hour, talking about all the good places he was familiar with.
Han Di listened patiently, but there was nothing she could do if she couldn't bear it anymore. She came with a mission, and she had to find out some information from Xu Zhiqiong's mouth.
When it came to sumo wrestling at the Peony Pavilion, Xu Zhiqiong was in high spirits. He planned to practice with Han Di for a while, but suddenly he heard someone outside the door snort: "In the middle of the night, a man and a woman are alone in the same room, what are you going to do!"
Hearing that the voice was that of an old woman, Xu Zhiqiong was startled and looked at Han Di.
Han Di lowered his voice and said: "Brother, don't be alarmed. I brought the Sixth Princess's fish talisman to get ice. We brothers and sisters are innocent, so we don't have to worry about people gossiping."
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said: "This is not a gossip, this is..."
This is a man who does great things.
Han Di guessed it.
Looking at Xu Zhiqiong's panicked expression, it was definitely not an act.
Today is a coincidence. After going around in such a big circle, he still didn't hide. This time I am going to make a great contribution.
Xu Zhiqiong looked at Han Di and said, "How about you take the first step?"
Han Di shook his head.
Are you kidding me? At this point, I can still leave?
"Brother, I can't leave. I have to speak clearly to her. I can't let her ruin your innocence."
Good junior sister, I know you are reluctant to leave. It’s all right if you don’t leave. It’s all up to you tonight.
Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said: "Good junior sister, please take care of me for a while, and I'll go get something."
After saying that, he got into the back room.
"Are you angry, please say something!" The old woman outside the door waited impatiently, "If you don't respond, I will come in!"
The white-haired old woman, hunched over, opened the door and walked in. She looked around for a while.
"Are you alone?" the old woman asked.
Han Di didn't answer, she was guessing the old woman's identity.
Judging by her dress, she must be a woman from the East Palace.
Why do the women from the East Palace dare to come to Bingjing Wu?
No matter how old she is, as a prince's woman, she cannot have too much contact with other men.
This should be a spy sent by the prince.
Let's see what she wants to say to Xu Zhiqiong.
"You're really pretending, I underestimated you!" The old woman laughed, "You pretended to be a woman and pretended to be two people talking to each other. This method is quite clever, but I still saw through it!"
What does she mean?
Did she come to Xu Zhiqiong to seek revenge?
The old woman came forward and pinched Han Di's cheek: "What is this skin made of? Why does it look so real? You have lost weight and are much shorter. This is really a lot of effort."
The old woman's hands were very heavy and Han Di's face hurt.
Han Di pushed the old woman away and said, "Are you here to see Xu Zhiqiong?"
The old woman frowned and said, "You're still pretending. I've already seen through it, and you still refuse to admit it?"
Han Di said: "Xu Zhiqiong is not here. He told me before he left that if anything happens, please tell me."
"That's what's wrong with you," the old woman said with a frown, "You promised to win or lose, how can you break your promise?"
What win or lose?
Han Di didn't understand what she meant: "Xu Zhiqiong is really not here. If you have anything to say, just tell me."
The old woman was furious: "You don't want to admit defeat, right? I'll tear off your fake face and see if you admit it or not!"
After saying that, the old woman grabbed Han Di's face and tore it down.
She tore it up, really tore it up.
The prince's hands are so cruel that it hurts to look at them.
Han Di was in pain so much that he shouted loudly: "Xu Zhiqiong is in the back room, right in the back room."
Back room?
The old woman let go of Han Di and looked into the inner room, but there was no one inside.
Han Di took the opportunity to go out. As soon as he reached the door, he was dragged back by the old woman by his hair, and then said with a face: "How dare you lie to me? You don't tell the truth. I told you to lie, and I have to tell you this lie."
Tear off your face."
Xu Zhiqiong held the hidden mirror and sighed in his heart: Junior sister, don't say that senior brother doesn't love you, haven't you always wanted to find a rich son-in-law? I will introduce His Royal Highness to you.
