Chapter 425 [Who to See] (II)
Yongyang Wangfu is actually the former mansion of the third prince Longting Town, the old emperor gave it to Qiqi, Qiqi asked people to simply clean up and paint the mansion, and did not make much changes.
At the beginning of the rainstorm, Qiqi sat in the gazebo in the garden, quietly looking at the navigation chart given to her by Hu Xiaotian.
Quan De'an's voice sounded in the garden: "Your Royal Highness Princess, Commander Hu has arrived." ”
Qiqi turned around and saw Hu Xiaotian coming over unhurriedly, judging from the expression on this guy's face, he was still quite calm, Qiqi originally thought that his actions might anger him. She put the chart away and said softly, "Where have you been all day and night?" I have asked people to look for you several times, and they all say that you have not returned from your home. ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "The princess has something to do with me?" ”
Qiqi said: "It's nothing, I'm just bored and want to find someone to talk to me." ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "You can't find me, so you arrested my father and mother, and let me throw myself into the net in this way?" There was still some anger in his words.
Qiqi smiled: "According to the emperor's intentions, I'm afraid it's not as simple as arresting them, you should thank me, I helped you protect them." ”
Hu Xiaotian sat down opposite her, crooked his mouth and sneered: "It seems that I still have to say thank you to you." ”
Qiqi said: "You always doubt my motives, if I want to harm them, why do I have to do it myself?" ”
Hu Xiaotian's gaze fell on the nautical chart on the stone table: "How has Her Royal Highness the princess thought about it?" ”
Qiqi said: "Thinking about it, this matter is too variable. ”
"What is the variable, princess?"
Qiqi stood up and walked a few steps, his eyes were attracted by the droplets of water dripping from time to time on the eaves of the pavilion corner, and he looked at it for a while before he said, "Are you thinking about going to Luozon or not?" ”
Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't seem to have confidence in me, since that's the case, I won't go anywhere in Kangdu." ”
Qiqi said: "The Jinling Xu family played a wonderful chess move, which not only showed the people of the world that they would not interfere in the affairs of Dakang." Behind his back, he sold us a favor, and the trade route provided was not unconditional, and he was designated to go to your Hu family. ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "The princess is too suspicious, and she is loyal to you, and you make me very cold when you say this." ”
Qiqi said: "It's not that I'm suspicious, it's that you're too cunning, I'm thinking about it." I still decided to let Master Hu go on this trip. ”
Hu Xiaotian deliberately pretended to be shocked, in fact, Qiqi's final choice was all in his expectation, Xiao Nizi is young after all, no matter how scheming you are, in the end it is not to fall into my trap. Hu Xiaotian said: "You mean to let my father go?" ”
Qiqi nodded.
Hu Xiaotian's head shook like a rattle: "No! Absolutely not, my father is so old, how can he afford the fatigue of the journey, and the journey to the Borscht Sea is far away, if something happens in the middle. My dad doesn't know martial arts, how can he cope with it? ”
Qiqi said: "It's not for him to go to the battlefield to charge, I value this voyage more than you, and I will definitely arrange the most powerful assistant for Lord Hu to be by his side to ensure his safety, you don't have to worry, and Lord Hu once did Dakang's household secretary, and trade is what he is good at." I'm really not worried about you going instead. ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "Is there a difference between my father going and me going?" It's not the same if you keep my father here, how dare I not come back? ”
Qiqi said: "I didn't think of using any of your father and son as a hostage at all. I left you because there was still something to arrange. ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "What about my mother? Is my mother going with my dad too? ”
Qiqi smiled a little meaningfully: "Even if I promise to let your mother accompany your father, the emperor will not agree, Hu Xiaotian, don't be a man, if it weren't for me to do everything possible in front of the emperor, I'm afraid that your Hu family will face another catastrophe." It's best for Master Hu to go, as for Mrs. Hu, don't worry, I will leave her in the palace to take care of her. ”
Hu Xiaotian secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, this little girl clearly wanted to treat her mother as a hostage. It's not surprising to think about it. Qiqi is not a fool, let his father and mother go, so what is he afraid of.
Qiqi said: "You don't have to worry about their safety, in short, you do things for me in a down-to-earth manner, and truly be as loyal as you advertise, I will naturally not treat you badly." ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "Where did you arrange my father and my mother?" ”
Qiqi said: "Aren't you afraid that this matter will involve the Jinling Xu family?" So I did a good deed and sent them to prison first. ”
"You are too ......" If Qiqi was not a princess, Hu Xiaotian would have punched him a long time ago, but you would have treated my father and mother like this.
Qiqi Liu's eyebrows were upside down, and his phoenix eyes widened, and he glared at Hu Xiaotian angrily: "What do you dare to do?" ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "I don't dare to do anything, but if you let my father and mother be wronged, I will do anything." ”
"Threaten Hongu?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's really not a threat, I'm telling the truth." ”
Qiqi didn't get angry, nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will never let anyone hurt them." ”
Hu Xiaotian knew that Qiqi still needed their father and son to serve, and he should not do anything to hurt them, but he was still inevitably a little worried: "Can I meet them?" ”
Qiqi said: "Not for the time being, but don't worry, it won't be too long before I arrange for you to meet." ”
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "I believe you once." ”
Qiqi said: "Are you hungry?" ”
Hu Xiaotian was stunned by her sudden question, did he divert the topic?
Qiqi said: "I invite you to dinner." ”
Hu Xiaotian looked around: "What?" Even the imperial chef of the palace has been invited, are you really going to move here? ”
Qiqi smiled and said: "I won't come to live here for the time being, but with this kind of plan, this place is much more spacious than the palace." ”
Hu Xiaotianxin said that although the scale of the palace is not small, it is still not comparable with the palace, the so-called spaciousness of Qiqi should not have the heaviness of the palace here, although the palace building is majestic and magnificent, but it always seems to have an indescribable depression.
Qiqi said: "Let's go out to eat, there is a small Jiangnan on the street on the east side of the palace, and it tastes very good." ”
Hu Xiaotian nodded, anyway, it's already dinner time, and it doesn't hurt to have a meal with her, after all, this girl is moody, and if she refuses, she may be angered again.
Qiqi and Hu Xiaotian left the palace, and Quan De'an and the two guards followed from a distance, because Qiqi had a word first, and they were not allowed to follow too closely. Fortunately, Xiaojiangnan is not far from the palace, and the security here has always been good.
Because of the rain just in the morning, Xiao Jiangnan's business today was deserted, and there was only one carriage parked in front of the door.
Hu Xiaotian and Qiqi came all the way, and they were only more than 300 steps, although the boss of Xiao Jiangnan didn't know them, but from the clothes of the two, they could already see that they were either rich or expensive, and enthusiastically invited the two to sit in the private room on the second floor.
Hu Xiaotian casually ordered a few dishes, and Qiqi couldn't help but be a little angry when he saw that his face was still cloudy: "Hey! Who do you show with a drooping face? ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "I am in a bad mood on a rainy day. "My father and mother have been arrested by her, and anyone will be in a bad mood.
Qiqi said: "It's not because of the rain, is it because I affected your mood to eat?" ”
Hu Xiaotian glanced at her because of her words, to say that Qiqi has changed quite a lot recently, there was still some baby fat in the past, recently this face has become a melon seed face, and she has grown a lot taller, and her chest seems to be a little taller, at least from the outside, she is no longer a little girl, she must not judge people by her appearance, who would have thought that this young little girl would have such a deep scheming? Maybe there is an old demon who has cultivated for thousands of years living in her shell.
Hu Xiaotian said: "You can barely be regarded as a little beauty, and you may be able to count it as beautiful and delicious when you grow up in the future." ”
Qiqi actually laughed when he heard him say this, and there was a hint of charm between his eyebrows and eyes.
Hu Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Reserved, I won't just praise you, as for being like this?" ”
Qiqi said: "I don't think I've ever heard you praise me." ”
"Against my will, I rarely tell the truth, and you don't know it."
Qiqi said: "No wonder the emperor likes flattering courtiers, it seems that the compliments are known to be fake, but they still sound very pleasant." ”
"Thousands of clothes don't wear sycophants, it's been like this since ancient times."
Qiqi said: "You are still the first one who dares to speak like this in front of me." ”
Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "That's because you have been raised in the deep palace in the past, and you haven't seen many outsiders." ”
Qiqi Liu's eyebrows were upside down, and a pair of beautiful eyes were round: "Hu Xiaotian, don't think that I can't hear it, you are sarcastically mocking me for not being knowledgeable." ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "If you don't have knowledge, there will be no smart women in the world, you are strategizing, the girl is old, far-sighted, well-versed in the past, scheming, decisive ......"
Qiqi said: "My biggest problem is moodiness, I will turn my face when I say it, you are not afraid of offending me, I let people cut off your head?" ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "Didn't you just say it, few people dare to tell the truth in front of you, you have grown up so old and have not met a few people who are really willing to help you, kill me, are you not afraid of becoming a loner?" ”
Qiqi said: "If you say this, killing you is really cheap for you, I will let you live, abolish your martial arts, let you re-enter the palace as a real eunuch, and then let you watch the relatives and friends around you suffer misfortune one by one, and see if you can laugh when the time comes." “
Hu Xiaotian gasped: "You are so poisonous!" Why is your heart so vicious at a young age? ”
Qiqi smiled and said: "I thought you were not afraid of heaven and earth, but it turns out that there are still times when you are afraid." (To be continued......) R1292
