"The next volume?" Akui was pleasantly surprised: "Have you written it?"
She had read the first paper he had written before, but she was very itchy. However, she knew that he was busy and had more than just errands to do as a waiter in the tea house, so she never had the nerve to rush him.
Under such circumstances, I just made myself secretly determined not to read any scripts with unwritten endings in the future.
Shouming nodded and said with a smile: "There are two more new stories, they are just half written."
New story?
Akui's eyes are bright - she can do it!
Anyway, once you make a decision, you usually end up regretting it.
only……
The little maid thought for a moment, and then put the box back into Shouming's hand: "I am traveling on a very important errand this time. I am a person who gets confused when I look at a storybook. You
You'd better keep it for me first and pick it up with you when I come back."
The girl said that her medical skills were acceptable, but she lacked a lot in toxicology. She gave her two medical books and asked her to think about it on the way.
At this time, the storybook was a hindrance to her study, so she couldn't bring it with her.
Seeing her serious expression, Shou Ming smiled and took it back, nodded and said, "I didn't think carefully, so I'll leave it to you first."
He was afraid that she would be bored on the road, so he stayed up several late nights to write it.
"If you have time... you might as well write the second half of the new story, so that I can read it all at once when I return to Beijing." Akui suggested seriously.
Shouming nodded in agreement and grinned.
The new story can be written in one go, but after the new story is written, there will be newer stories, and his story will never be finished.
Xiaoqi came back from outside and immediately saw two people smiling at each other in the hall.
Xiao Qi, who was vaguely aware of something, pretended not to notice it. He tried his best to reduce his presence like an invisible person, and walked up the stairs lightly and quickly.
"Son."
Xiaoqi came to the window on the second floor, bowed and said in a low voice: "The prince sent someone to send a message, please go to the Pingqing Pavilion to talk about it."
Wu Chao nodded slightly, subconsciously looked at Xu Mingyi sitting opposite, and asked in a warm voice: "Do you want to go to Pingqing Pavilion for snacks?"
I remember last time she praised the almond cheese in Pingqing Hall——
Xu Mingyi shook his head with a smile and said, "You'll get tired of eating it often. Let's go again in two days."
Today, King Yan is looking for Wu's illness. Maybe there is nothing very important, but she has heard about it this morning. In three days, King Yan and King Jing will leave the capital and return to their fiefdom - ancestor worship and King Xiang's relationship
The case has been delayed for quite some time. It is not a good thing to wait for a long time.
Therefore, King Yan most likely wanted to say goodbye to Wu Chao today. She would not be inconvenient to disturb the father and son's farewell.
However, I heard Xiao Qi say from the side: "Your Majesty also made another statement, saying that if Miss Xu is with the Young Master, please also ask Miss Xu to come with you."
Xu Mingyi was startled when he heard this.
How did the prince know that she and Wu Chao were together?
Wu Chao coughed slightly uncomfortably - probably because apart from doing business, he mostly stayed with Zhao Zhao, so it was not difficult to guess.
In this case, Xu Mingyi followed Wu Chao to Pingqing Hall.
When he got off the carriage, Xu Mingyi had transformed into a young man.
When we arrived at the restaurant, we were greeted by a familiar waiter, who familiarly invited us to the private room in the backyard.
After all, Wu Chao took the road of climbing over the wall, so he was naturally faster than her. When she arrived, the father and son were sitting and drinking tea.
"This junior has met the prince."
"There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be polite." King Yan smiled and extended his hand: "Miss Xu, please sit down."
After Xu Mingyi sat down, King Yan pushed a hollow box with red lacquer and plum blossoms on the table in front of her and said: "When I entered the palace today to pay my respects to my mother, she asked me to bring this to Miss Xu.
In the mausoleum, I received a gift of thanks from Miss Xu for rescuing her—this matter should not be made public. She has always been a reclusive person and does not see people easily. If she suddenly announces that Miss Xu is entering the palace, she may cause unnecessary trouble."
Xu Mingyi nodded "yes". She understood these principles, but... hadn't the Queen Mother already given her a dowry bracelet before?
The box in front of her was carved with hollow patterns. She looked at it vaguely. It looked like it was full of jewelry and other items, and it must be very valuable. She couldn't help but said: "The Queen Mother is really too polite."
King Yan smiled and said nothing.
polite?
He felt that his mother was too impatient.
Next, King Yan made some explanations to Wu Chaoxi.
Listening to the words that did not evade his own words, Xu Mingyi felt a little discernment in his heart - he always felt that although the prince's words were not stated clearly, they seemed to reveal some kind of plan...
In this life, nothing happened to the Queen Mother, and she may still be treated as a hostage by the emperor and remain in the capital.
But King Yan obviously still had an idea.
Thinking about it, this is the general trend. When some things come to an end, it is no longer a question of whether to do it or not. It usually does not give people a choice. People who are decisive often understand that the real way out is not something that can be waited for, but something that needs to be done.
Go for it on your own - even if it means mountains of swords and seas of fire.
At the end, King Yan looked at the two children in front of him and did not hide his thoughts at this time: "Even if it does not reach that step, the current situation in the world is such that the country is already in danger, even if it is just to protect ourselves,
, and don’t be unprepared.”
Wu Chao and Xu Mingyi both nodded seriously.
This is a frank reminder from the elders, and it is also what they need to face in the future.
"Before I leave the capital, I have one more thing to do." King Yan said, "I have found out the exact address of that old man, and I need to meet him in person."
He had mentioned this before that Wu Chao still had an impression - this person might know whether there was something fishy behind the death of the second son of the minister at that time.
"How do you plan to meet the prince?" Wu Chao asked.
"Now it's not appropriate for me to leave the capital rashly, so I planned to bring him secretly to meet him in the capital." After King Yan said this, he looked at Xu Mingyi: "It's just that I need to say hello to Miss Xu first.
"
This is also the reason why he mentioned this matter at this time.
Xu Mingyi's eyes moved: "Does this person have anything to do with my maternal grandfather's family?"
I heard from the prince earlier that he was in Linyuan.
King Yan nodded with a smile - Miss Xu is very smart.
"According to the verification by my subordinates, this person has been working in a shop under the Yuan family business for these years."
He remembered that the Linyuan Yuanshi Company was the natal property of eldest brother Xu’s first wife.
And if he wants to bring someone to the city, he will definitely not agree to the direct invitation, so as to ensure safety. In order not to alert people who should not be alerted, he must use some means - that is... to kidnap the person secretly.
Although it will not hurt the other party, out of etiquette, I still have to say hello to my future daughter-in-law.
