Chu Qingli was patient and stayed in the study with Xiao Pan for a few days. But these days are either practicing calligraphy or reading books, Chu Qingli really feels a little bored.

Two maidservants walked by outside the door, talking in a low voice, with a smile mixed between the words, Chu Qingli vaguely seemed to hear something like "beast".

Chu Qingli turned his head to look at Xiao Pan, he was looking down and reading seriously, and he didn't raise his head. Chu Qingli knew that Xiao Pan had always been serious when he read books, and if he secretly acted lightly, he shouldn't be discovered, right?

Chu Qingli held the book in both hands, gently placed it on the table, lifted his foot heavily, and fell down carefully, for fear of making a noise and being discovered by Xiao Pan.

"Where are you going?" Xiao Pan's face was buried in the book, and he didn't look at Chu Qingli, but Chu Qingli's every move was in Xiao Pan's gaze.

Chu Qingli slowly turned his head, with a smile on his face, "I'll go out to breathe, and I'll be back soon." ”

"It's not even an hour?" Recently, Chu Qingli's time to sit in the study has been getting shorter and shorter, and in less than half an hour, he has to find a chance to go out.

"Lord Wang?" A man's voice came from outside the door.

Chu Qingli was released, and even his tone hardened, "Someone is looking for you, I'll open the door." ”

The knock on the door was simply Chu Qingli's savior, someone came to the study to find Xiao Pan, there must be something important to discuss with her, she was not suitable here, just went out.

Chu Qingli opened the door with a bright smile, and looked at the person who came and felt very cordial, "The prince is inside, come in." Chu Qingli looked at many people standing outside the door, each holding an account book in his hand, probably because he wanted Xiao Pan to report on the income of business expenses everywhere.

Chu Qing was secretly happy, most of the days had passed, and Xiao Pan probably couldn't take care of her. Chu Qingli turned sideways and asked the people outside the door to enter.

When those people saw that it was the princess who opened the door herself, they were terrified, and hurriedly said goodbye, "I've seen the princess!" ”

Chu Qingli glanced at Xiao Pan's helpless expression with his eyes, snickered and quickly slipped out.

"Princess, aren't you in the study?" Du Qinghe was holding the pastries, preparing to send them to Chu Qingli and Xiao Pan, but he didn't expect to meet her in the garden.

Chu Qingli squinted slightly, feeling the warm sunlight, the breeze was blowing, and the swallows were murmuring, and it was really comfortable outside. Chu Qingli smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Someone is looking for the prince to discuss matters, and I came out," Chu Qingli hid his restlessness, "That's right," Chu Qingli turned his head and looked at Du Qinghe, "I was just inside the door, and I heard the maids talking about beasts, what was going on?" ”

"Well, I heard that someone from the suburbs of Beijing came to Yamen to report the case, saying that there were wild beasts in the mountains, and several people in their village were missing one after another, so it made people panic, but no one went there recently, for fear of losing their lives." Du Qinghe said, and also felt sorry for the villagers who lost their lives.

Chu Qingli frowned, not knowing what he was thinking about, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

"Princess? Princess? Seeing that Chu Qingli was still immersed in his own thoughts, Du Qinghe called her name softly.

"Huh? What's wrong? Chu Qingli came back to his senses, and there was still a haze in his eyes.

"The slave maid is asking, can the princess hear the slave maid's words?" Du Qinghe looked at Chu Qingli's appearance, and she didn't know what she had just said, so she listened to it a little.

Chu Qingli nodded, "I heard it," she only heard that there were wild beasts on the mountain on the outskirts of Beijing, and the rest of the words passed through Chu Qingli's ears like the wind, but nothing was left.

"Huh? Qinghe? Chu Qingli's eyes lit up, "How about we go and see?" "I've been suffocated in the house for the past few days, and now there's such an interesting story, why don't you go and have a good time and see what this beast is like?

Du Qinghe was stunned by Chu Qingli's words, "Princess, that beast can eat people." ”

"We don't go into the mountains, so it's okay to look outside." Chu Qingli didn't think that the beast was cruel, besides, Du Qinghe also had some light skills, even if he touched it, he used his light skills to fly to a high place, and he was helpless to think about the beast.

Du Qinghe, as usual, his expression was not very happy, and he felt a little remorseful in his heart, he knew that he shouldn't have talked about the beast with Chu Qingli, he should have known that she was going to have a good time.

"Let's go, okay?" Chu Qingli looked at Du Qinghe expectantly, with an aggrieved expression, as if Du Qinghe didn't agree, she would be able to rely on her.

Du Qinghe struggled again and again, and finally nodded helplessly, "The princess said that she must not enter the mountain." ”

Chu Qingli was relieved when he saw Du Qinghe, and immediately stretched out three fingers, "I swear, I will never go in, let's go." "If it's late, when those people in the study leave, Xiao Pan should look for her again.

Chu Qingli took Du Qinghe's hand and ran outside the mansion, "Hey, princess, this pastry." Du Qinghe was still holding a pear blossom crisp in his hand.

Chu Qingli stretched out his hand and put the pear blossom cake on the railing of the corridor, "Someone will clean it up, let's go quickly." ”

This is the first time Chu Qingli has left the house in the past few days, and he is really excited that some birds are out of the cage. This street market is still as lively, Chu Qing left here to take a look, and then looked, as if he had just come to the capital.

"Princess." Du Qinghe pulled Chu Qingli and said in a low voice, "Princess, pay attention to your appearance." Du Qinghe's lips moved slightly, for fear of being heard.

"Don't worry," Chu Qingli pushed Du Qinghe away, "Qinghe, look, this is still a new thing." ”

"Girl, you're right, this is just transported in from the Western Regions, it's rare in the capital, the girl has a good eye." The owner of the stall saw that there was business coming to the door, and immediately chatted enthusiastically.

Chu Qingli took that thing in his hand and looked at it, it was really interesting. Chu Qingli was playing with it while asking the boss about the beast on the outskirts of Beijing, "Boss, I heard that there is a beast on the outskirts of Beijing that devours living people, has the boss heard?" ”

As soon as he mentioned this, the boss looked melancholy, "Who can not know this now, I heard that the beast is very ferocious, and the Yamen has been hunted several times, but it has been in vain." The boss sighed heavily, as if to match his expression.

"Have the people of the Yamen ever seen that beast?" Since there are people in the yamen who go to encircle and suppress it, they will inevitably have a face to face with the beast.

"I've seen it, why haven't I seen it," the boss raised his voice and became excited, "I heard the people in the yamen say that the beast is half a human tall, and it is pitch black, if it stands upright, it ......" The boss said this, and looked at Chu Qingli in a voice, "I'm afraid it has to be as tall as a girl." ”

Seeing the boss's serious expression, Chu Qingli couldn't help laughing, "The boss seems to have seen it with his own eyes." ”
