Chapter 30 Chapter Thirty It’s Difficult to Pitch

She gave the order too quickly. One moment she was writing furiously in front of the desk, and the next moment she asked him to quickly pack up his things and return to the capital to return to Xuanyu Division just as the city gates opened.

He was overwhelmed by the excitement of being of use to her again. It was not until today in Xuanyu Division that he was asked by Li Kong and other subordinates where the mansion was that he thought that he could not return to the East Palace or Qingluan.

palace facts.

Only then did he realize how afraid he was of being forgotten by her, how afraid he was that he would no longer be that special, how afraid he was of not being able to see her all the time.

Every brick and tile, every plant and tree in the Zen room made him more comfortable than the lifeless capital city. He could not accept that it was difficult to get along with her day and night.

irritable.

He sniffed his clothes again, and then became irritated. He kicked the pebbles in the corner, and he squatted down and rubbed the inside of his clothes on the uppers of his boots that were not dirty at all, then shook the clothes, and then continued to smell

.

Wei Huai'en, who was escorting Shangguan Luming out, looked at him for a long time from a short distance behind him with his hands on his hips, frowning and looking puzzled.

Shangguan Luming whispered:

"Is this His Highness's chamberlain, Deputy Ambassador Xiao Qixiao? It's... different from the rumors..."

Rumor has it that the chamberlains of the Xuan Yu Division are all ruthless and ruthless. Once you have suffered at their hands, being able to get out of bed in three months is considered a good deed in your previous life.

Since Xiao Qi had taken over the task of conducting house searches and interrogations from the very beginning of the Xuan Yu Division, this name could even silence low-ranking officials like Shangguan Luming.

It is true that hearing once is worse than seeing once. Shangguan Lu Ming wants to laugh. He regrets less and less that he is under Wei Huaien's sect. Now it seems that General Jiang Hong and Deputy Commander Xiao Qi are both wonderful people.

Wei Huai'en didn't know how to answer the call, because Xiao Qi was still kicking stones and didn't notice anyone standing behind him.

It's a bit embarrassing.

Seeing Xiao Qi squatting down to clean his shoes again, Wei Huaien interrupted his cycle:

"Xiao Qi, what are you doing here?"

As soon as Xiao Qi heard her voice, he immediately turned around and bowed:

"master."

His movements were very smooth and his manners could be called elegant. Even the token around his waist did not move. Xiao Qi's etiquette was engraved in his bones, and every move was pleasing to the eye.

If no one saw him kicking stones.

Shangguan Luming pretended that nothing happened and bowed slightly to Xiao Qi:

"Deputy Ambassador Xiao, Imperial Academy Shangguan Lu Ming, you are polite."

Wei Huaien took a few steps forward and patted Xiao Qi, who was a little stiff:

"He is my client, whose pseudonym is Lu Ming. You will have many opportunities to cooperate in the future."

Shangguan Luming almost couldn't hold back his laughter, and after exchanging greetings with Xiao Qi, he said goodbye to Wei Huai'en.

Xiao Qi followed Wei Huai'en back to the small courtyard. Unfortunately, he had very good ears and could vaguely hear Shangguan Luming's laughter. The embarrassment could not be resolved, and his earlobes were as red as blood.

"...Xiao Qi."

The things in the room had been almost tidied up by Shui Jing. Wei Huaien was sitting on the stone bench under the tree, putting his hand on his forehead and looking at him with a very complicated expression.

"Are you angry with the people from Xuanyu Division?"

Otherwise, why would Xiao Qi, who was so self-possessed and prudent, look like this when she came back from Xuan Yu Division after only going to the Xuan Yu Division for most of the day?

Wei Huai'en started conspiracy theories.

"No."

Xiao Qi was dejected and his voice was like a mosquito.

"There are only two of us here, you can talk to me."

Wei Huai'en was really worried about him, so he softened his voice and was persuasive.

Xiao Qi clasped his fingers together, unable to explain his behavior.

"No... I'm just too bored to wait..."

Wei Huai'en raised his eyebrows and repeated in disbelief:

"Bored? Bored? Are you kicking stones? Are you picking up your clothes and smelling them?"

Xiao Qi closed his eyes and blushed even more.

The sweet-scented osmanthus tree has passed its blooming season and will sway to the ground whenever a gust of wind blows.

The fragrant sweet-scented osmanthus falls on the ground, and if you listen carefully you can hear the "swirling" sound of the flowers falling.

But in Xiao Qi's red ears, it should be the sound of the image he had managed to cultivate in front of Wei Huai'en being shattered bit by bit.

The only person who was happy today was probably Shangguan Luming who came down the mountain with a smile and humming a tune.

Shangguan Lu Ming came down from court and came to Huang'en Temple. This was enough to break the window that he was the princess's guest. He became more relaxed when talking. He even talked to her about drinking with Jiang Hong after the palace banquet.

.

"Your Highness, I have grown up hearing the legend of Zhenxi Army. I never thought that seeing it is better than hearing it. Young General Jiang... and you are indeed cousins..."

"You don't have to hesitate, just say what you have to say."

Wei Huai'en knew Jiang Hong's drinking capacity very well, and he had already predicted the direction of the whole thing when he heard Shangguan Luming drinking with him.

"Yes, the young general is just like His Highness. He is informal. He is just the younger sister of the minister. Alas..."

Shangguan Luming pretended to shake his head and sighed, took a sip of tea and then took a piece of tea, making it clear that he had nothing to say, but he was eating and drinking as an excuse to gossip.

"After Yongyong heard that the young general and I had agreed to have a drink, she cooked for seven days in person, and pestered me to bring her to meet the young general. In the end, I didn't take her with me, and she has never been given to me until now.

Good face.

Tsk, it’s my fault too, my parents left early, and when I was putting her to sleep at night, I exaggerated the story of the young general and told her about it.

If I could have expected that I would have such an opportunity after passing the exam and entering Beijing, I would have praised the young general to death as if he had nothing to do with me. Now it is really difficult to ride a tiger."

It's a pity that Shangguan Luming is not a storyteller. Wei Huai'en can only see his sincere performance and think of how his sister was frightened by him and was full of unrealistic fantasies about Jiang Hong.

"It seems that your sister is going to be disappointed. The bragging of my cousin and the storyteller is already far different, and you are adding more fuel and jealousy. May I ask Lord Shangguan, is Jiang Hong capable of killing a horse with one punch?

"

Wei Huai'en pushed another plate of tea towards him:

"It sounds like your sister is also a wonderful person. Let me meet her when I have time in the future. The tea snacks made by Shui Jing are unique. You can bring some back for her to try."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Shangguan Lu Ming smiled with two tiger teeth, thinking that he would be able to make his sister happy with these refreshments after returning home.

I didn't expect to bump into Deputy Ambassador Xiao Qixiao today. Shangguan Luming felt that this trip to Huang'en Temple was really worth it.

Shangguan Lu Ming had already made up a series of stories in his mind to endure humiliation and bear the burden of running for his master, so that Xiao Qi, whose private hobbies and status were abnormal, was completely overwhelmed by the increasingly suffocating embarrassing atmosphere.

Between continuing to be stared at by Wei Huaien with such strange eyes or confessing, he chose the latter.

"The slave came here on horseback with dust on his body, for fear of staining his master's eyes."

Xiao Qi found reasons for himself in his heart and tried his best to hide the real reason.

"Hmm. I don't believe it."

Wei Huai'en's eyes did not move, he became serious and would not give up until he had an explanation.

Xiao Qi was very sure that he didn't smell any bad smell from his body just now, so he took a few steps forward and knelt in front of her knees. Wei Huaien raised his forehead and looked down at him, his mind focused on his lower lip that had been bitten with teeth marks.

superior.

Is it so unspeakable? Wei Huaien thought, even a little soft-hearted and wanted to let him go.

"Wynn, I want to see you."

He didn't dare to raise his head because he used this affectionate name to hide his dirty secret, but he couldn't think of any other way to keep Wei Huaien from getting to the bottom of it.

Besides, he really wanted to see her. This wasn't lying, it was just using one secret to protect another.

Compared with her own mutilated body, Xiao Xiang in her heart could calmly explain to her.

But now that the words have been spoken, he can't help but feel anxious again. How will she react? Will she think that his trip is meaningless and that he is embarrassing his big job?

"Want to see me?"

Wei Huaien raised his eyebrows. She didn't expect him to admit it so happily, but she didn't know how to respond.

It seems that a long time ago, when she first discovered this man's thoughts about her, she had sneered at him, and was determined to replace him if he didn't do things well because of these thoughts.

That seemed to be a long time ago, but it had only been four months, and Xiao Qi could no longer use that set of rules in her mind.

She did not deny her feelings, but she was happy to hear his sincerity.

"Are you hungry?"

Shangguan Lu Mingshun took away all the refreshments on the plate, but she still had a hibiscus ball that she only took a small bite of.

Before Xiao Qi could speak, his chin was lifted up by Wei Huaien, and a hibiscus ball was fed into his mouth. He chewed subconsciously, put his hands on her knees through the skirt, and looked at her blankly.
