Feng Qing Shaoyi

Chapter 113 Concealed affection
After Que Yu left, Qi Ze was still thinking about it and didn't recover.After a while, he walked slowly to the small cave to rest.

As soon as he lay down, he smelled a relatively strong scent of sandalwood, which indicated that the owner of the smell had been lying here for a long time.

Qi Ze couldn't help feeling depressed and wondering, doesn't Que Yu have Xiaotao in his own mansion, why did he come to her to rest.It's fine if you didn't know she was a woman before, but now you already know that she is a woman and ran over.

But what Que Yu said is correct, she and the people in the Qi Mansion have long been torn apart, coupled with the increasingly treacherous court situation, these are not good news for her.If the woman's identity is exposed, there is no need for Murong Sheng and Murong Xiu to do anything, she can't handle even Qi Chen.

Although she is retreating bravely now, with her ability, there is still hope of being alive.But how could it be possible for her to give up at this point.Anyway, it's already reached this point, and it's nothing bad in the end.

And she will not let her identity as a woman be easily exposed, and she will not let others know about this fatal point.Except for Que Yu, no one would know.

Maybe it's because of the long time of thinking and the body is tired, but there is a trace of tranquility in the distant sandalwood fragrance, which makes people feel drowsy.

Qi Ze smelled the familiar sandalwood scent, turned over and fell into a deep sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Qi Ze, who was sleeping, felt that someone was covering her with a quilt, and her slightly cold shoulders became warm.But Qi Ze still couldn't help being woken up, usually she was a light sleeper, and would be woken up with the slightest movement.

"It's too much noise, did it bother you?" Xu Siheng's gentle voice came.

"Rong Yu." Qi Ze opened his eyes and saw Xu Siheng with a smile on his lips, so he couldn't help shouting.Then he sat up and turned to look out the window.

And Xu Siheng has been very careful, seeing Qi Ze looking out of the window, he said: "It's still early, and it's not yet time to go to court. So I didn't call you, and you can rest for a while."

Qi Ze looked at the slightly bright sky outside, and it was indeed not too late, it was still early before the court time, so he could rest for a while.

But Xu Siheng's presence made her a little uncomfortable.After all, she is a woman, and Xu Siheng is very smart, it would be bad if Xu Siheng found out.So Qi Ze took advantage of the situation and leaned on the pillow behind him, and pressed the space between his eyebrows to wake up.

"Shaoyi, did I get drunk yesterday?" Just as Qi Ze was rubbing his eyes, he heard Xu Siheng's question.

Without waiting for Qi Ze to answer, Xu Siheng went on to say: "I used to laugh at Shaoyi's poor drinking capacity, but I didn't expect my drinking capacity to be so poor. I passed out after just a few sips of wine. It's a shame that I stayed here last night to bother you." Sorry for the trouble, Shaoyi."

"It's nothing, we are good friends after all, there is nothing to worry about." Qi Ze put down his hand rubbing between his brows, looked up at Xu Siheng and said, "And I also want to thank you for coming to comfort me yesterday, I feel much better now."

"It's good that Shaoyi is in a better mood, I didn't come in vain yesterday." Xu Siheng said with a smile.

Xu Siheng looked at the orchids blooming outside the window and asked, "Does Shaoyi like orchids?"

"Orchids are elegant and fragrant, everyone in the world loves them, how could I not like them?" Qi Ze also looked at the orchids outside the window and replied.

Hearing Qi Ze's answer, Xu Siheng stroked the window sill and murmured: "Even though everyone in the world likes orchids, there is only one person in Lanhua's heart."

"Since everyone in the world loves it, then the person in Lanhua's heart will also like it. After all, who doesn't love noble orchids?"

"The liking that Lanhua wants is not the kind of liking of the world, what it wants is the liking that will accompany it for a lifetime. Even though it knows in its heart that it cannot be with that person, and that person has its own belonging, but if it can be in the future I see it often, and the orchids don't mind." Xu Siheng turned around with deep meaning in his eyes.

Qi Ze was a little dazed looking at Xu Siheng like this, why did she think this was a bit strange?But she couldn't tell what was so strange about it.Xu Siheng is so clear about what Lanhua thinks, it seems that Xu Siheng is also a person who knows how to cherish flowers.

"Rong Yu likes orchids very much." Qi Ze said casually, suppressing the strangeness in his heart.

"Because Shaoyi said that I am very suitable for orchids, so I like orchids." Xu Siheng smiled gently.

Did she say that?How could she have no impression.Since Xu Siheng said she had said it, then she should have said it.

Seeing Qi Ze's puzzled expression, Xu Siheng shook his head.Maybe he can't remember what Shaoyi said, but he always remembers, he remembers every word Shaoyi said.

This sentence was said casually by Shaoyi when he went to the Ministry of Households to ask for military pay, but it was this casual sentence that he has never forgotten until now.

He already liked orchids, but because Shaoyi said orchids were suitable for him, he liked them even more.

Qi Ze saw Xu Siheng looking at her seriously, which made her a little uncomfortable.I want to speak to break this uncomfortable atmosphere, but I don't know what to say.

Xu Siheng also knew that these words were a bit abrupt, so he looked at the sky outside and said, "Shaoyi, it's dawn, and it's time to go to court. I didn't return all night yesterday, so you should be worried, I'll go back first .”

I don't know when, the sky has brightened, and there are still a few rays of sunlight passing through the clouds.

Hearing that Xu Siheng said he wanted to go back, Qi Ze nodded, and was relieved to see Xu Siheng leave.

What Xu Siheng said was a bit strange, both inside and outside the words revealed tender feelings.Has her identity as a woman been exposed?But it doesn't look like Xu Siheng's appearance either.When a normal man knows that his friend is a woman, he should be shocked, but Xu Siheng didn't mean to be surprised at all.

Then her identity as a woman should not be exposed, so what's going on?

"Young master, are you awake?"

Just as Qi Ze was thinking, the voice of Zhan Shi sounded outside the door, interrupting Qi Ze's thoughts.

"Already awake." Qi Ze replied.

"Breakfast Zhanshi is ready." Zhanshi said softly.

"Okay, I've worked hard on the poetry exhibition, and I'll go right away."

Qi Ze got out of bed, changed his clothes, and prepared to have breakfast and go to court.

Forget it, don't think so much.Since the identity of the woman has not been exposed, it is not a big deal.Moreover, Xu Siheng's character is already gentle, maybe she is thinking too much.

In the Xu Mansion, Xu Youyi rushed over as soon as Xu Siheng returned to the Xu Mansion.

"Brother, why didn't you go home last night? Could it be that you went to someone's mansion to socialize again?" Xu Youyi pouted and said unhappy.

"No, I didn't go out to socialize yesterday. I just went to meet a friend. I drank so much that I didn't have time to go home." Xu Siheng knelt down and said, stroking Xu Youyi's head.

What Xu Youyi hated most was that Xu Bai and Xu Siheng went out to socialize. Although it was for court business, they always came back drunk.

Xu Siheng was fine, but Xu Bai started to vomit dizzily, making everyone in the Xu residence unable to sleep for half the night.So Mrs. Xu and Xu Youyi hated the father and son going out to socialize very much.

In their opinion, talking about entertainment is actually going out with a group of cronies.Xu's father and son try not to go out for entertainment every time, and sometimes they go out when they can't refuse.And every time I come back, I will be careful, for fear of disturbing the rest of the mother and daughter.Or sometimes they don’t go back and go directly to court the next day.

But Mrs. Xu couldn't help worrying if she didn't go home all night.So the father and son can only drink as little as possible, and go back when it gets dark.

When Xu Youyi heard that Xu Siheng didn't go out to mess around with those dudes, his complexion improved a bit.

"Brother, don't touch my head anymore. I'm going to be married soon, not a little girl anymore." Xu Youyi stomped her feet a few times, turned her face and said.

"Okay, You Yi has grown up and can marry. I just don't touch it." Xu Siheng stood up and said.

"By the way, which friend did brother meet yesterday?" Xu Youyi turned her head and asked.

"I went to see Shaoyi yesterday. There are a lot of things in the military department recently, and Shaoyi is a little tired. I just want to find Shaoyi for a drink to relieve my mood."

"Hmph, it's true. I leave everything to Mr. Qi from the Ministry of War, and I'm almost exhausted." Xu Youyi couldn't help complaining to Qi Ze, and then lowered her head and blushed, "Did Mr. Qi say anything?" Other words? For example, miss me or something."

Xu Siheng couldn't help laughing and said: "You Yi likes Shao Yi very much? Do you want to marry Shao Yi in the future?"

Hearing Xu Siheng making fun of herself like this, Xu Youyi immediately blushed, stomped her feet and turned around, said in an awkward tone: "Who wants to marry him, but if he comes to propose, maybe I will agree."

Seeing that Xu Siheng was still looking at her with a smile, Xu Youyi felt a little embarrassed, "Brother, don't look at me like that. If he doesn't come to marry me with a third party, I won't agree." After finishing speaking, just watch He glanced at Xu Siheng and blushed and ran away.

Xu Siheng watched Xu Youyi's leaving figure for a while, then turned around and looked at the blooming orchids beside him.

If Youyi marries Shaoyi in the future, I'm afraid he will feel a little uncomfortable.But this is also good, he also has more reasons to meet Shao Yi.Others can't see his dirty mind, does a man like another man?
There are many good people in Longyang in the capital, when he heard these, he still felt a little disdainful.After all, the goodness of Longyang is different in the eyes of the world, and none of their endings are good.Either they were blindsided and committed suicide in humiliation, or they were forced by their families to marry each other and no longer contact each other.

But I didn't expect myself to be the same, and I didn't understand the pain until I was on my body.Although he is not understood by the world, he doesn't mind, he doesn't mind that Shao Yi is a man.But Shao Yi should mind, after all, her thoughts are so dirty, and Shao Yi already has her own concubine.

And he couldn't let others know, otherwise, what would be the face of his parents, and how could the Xu family hold their head up in Ding capital.

How wonderful it would be if Shaoyi... was a woman!
In Fusheng Pavilion, Qi Ze had just finished his breakfast and was about to go to court.When he got to the gate of the yard, he saw Zhu Yu frowning and staring at a corner outside the gate.

Seeing Qi Ze approaching, Zhu Yu bent down and saluted, "Master."

"What? Qi Zhe is peeking outside the door again?" Qi Ze straightened his clothes and said.

Zhu Yu frowned even tighter, "Yes."

Ever since Qi Zhe saw Zhan Shi in Qi Mansion last time, he knew that Zhan Shi was from Fusheng Pavilion, so he peeked outside the courtyard of Fusheng Pavilion from time to time.

At first, when Zhu Yu saw it, he knew that Qi Zhe was looking for Zhan Shi.I just told Zhan Shi to try to stay in the room and not come out in the future, so as not to cause trouble for Qi Ze.

Zhan Shi also knew that going out that time caused disaster, so she obediently stayed in the room when she heard Zhu Yu's advice, and only came out when cooking meals.

Qi Ze naturally knew it too, but he didn't care about it.Qi Zhe peeked whenever he wanted to. Anyway, with Zhu Yu Cangshu around, Qi Zhe couldn't see anything.

A few times Cang Zhu deliberately let the snake play tricks on Qi Zhe, trying to scare Qi Zhe away.But everyone underestimated Qi Zhe, Qi Zhe seemed to be very persistent about this matter, and came to peek whenever he had something to do.

Although he knew that he couldn't make much trouble, but coming here often disturbed people.Zhu Yu Cangzhu is also very impatient with Qi Zhe, and Qi Ze is also a little helpless with his second brother, and he has never been so active in going to the Imperial Academy.

Qi Ze took a look at Qi Zhe who was stepping on a few big rocks and pressing his hand against the wall, trying to climb up the edge of the high wall to peek.

Qi Zhe is not short, but the wall is too high.He stood on the big rock that was a little unstable, and tried to poke his head out several times, but his hands and feet were not flexible, and he tried several times without success.

"Master, are you going to drive the second boy away with your subordinates?"

"No, you continue to guard here, I'll go and have a look." Qi Ze lightly raised his hand and refused.

Cang Zhu can't scare away even with snakes. If you don't give Qi Zhe a good lesson, he might come again.Let her go and see this time.

Qi Zhe was trying his best to stretch out his hand to grab the edge of the wall, and just about to stick his head out to try again, he heard that familiar voice with a hint of warmth.

"Second brother, what is this doing? Is there anything in third brother's yard that second brother's yard doesn't have?" Qi Ze said standing not far from Qi Zhe.

Qi Zhe was startled by the sound, and the stones under his feet shook accordingly.He wanted to support himself on the wall and stand upright, but he still couldn't stand firmly and fell on all sides.

Qi Ze just took a few steps back calmly to prevent the dust on those stones from staining his clothes.

Qi Zhe fell to the ground and looked up in surprise, "Qi Ze, why are you here?"

"Second brother is really confused. This is my yard, what is strange about me here."

"Shouldn't you go to court?" Qi Zhe said, pointing at Qi Ze.

Normally, Qi Ze would go to the court very early, and Qi Zhe also came here on the spur of the moment.After all, this peeping thing is also shameful, and he felt a little guilty when he did it.With Qi Ze here, he really didn't dare.

"Today's breakfast was good, so the third brother used more, and the court was later than usual. I just didn't expect to see the second brother. The second brother is working in the Imperial Academy and doesn't need to go to court. It's so leisurely. Make my third brother envious." Qi Ze said seriously.

In Southern Chu, except for officials who concurrently served in the six ministries of the Imperial Academy and entered the cabinet, officials who served in the Imperial Academy did not have to go to court.As long as you handle the affairs of the Hanlin Academy well and accept the invitation of the Holy Spirit to enter the palace in time, it will be fine.That's why Qi Zhe has a lot of time to peek outside Fusheng Pavilion every day.

Qi Zhe knew that Qi Ze was mocking him, at first he felt ashamed and angry that he had been punctured, then he got up and patted the dust on his body with a sneer, "Oh, it's not as comfortable as the third brother. There is a stunning beauty beside the third brother Accompanying each other, this makes the second brother envious."

"Beautiful beauty? Second brother must have misremembered. Third brother has never had any stunning beauties here. They are no more lovable than the delicate beauties in second brother's room. It should be that third brother envies second brother." Qi Ze said lightly. road.

"Hmph, stop fooling me, I saw it all that time. A woman in a red dress ran into your Fusheng Pavilion, so what is that woman if she isn't your woman?" Qi Zhe shouted, poking his neck.

"A woman in a red dress?" Qi Ze put his hands on his chin and lowered his head in thought, then seemed to think of something, raised his head and said: "Third Brother remembered, there is indeed a woman in a red dress in Fusheng Pavilion. The second elder brother mentioned her, but did he fall in love with her?"

"That's right, it's better like this. The third brother gives me that woman, and the third brother picks any woman in my room. What do you think?" Qi Zhe said with his arms crossed.

"Of course the women in the second brother's room are good, but the third brother has no habit of sharing things with others, especially women. I'm afraid I will disappoint the second brother."

"Qi Ze, you..." Qi Zhe sneered, "Qi Ze, don't think that just because you are honored by the Holy Spirit, you can be defiant. Without the support of the Qi family, how long do you think you can live alone."

Qi Ze glanced at Qi Zhe lightly, and said calmly: "Second brother, you are joking, when did the Qi family protect me? When did I need the Qi family to protect me again?"

That's right, when did the Qi family protect her, all they did was bullying and framing her.And now she doesn't need the Qi family to protect her anymore, when they needed it before, they just ignored her, but now it's ridiculous that the Qi family is helping her behind the scenes.

"So what? No matter what, you will always be a member of the Qi family. You have the blood of the Qi family. You can't change this no matter what. Qi Yun is dead, and you are the only one in the third room, and you can only be in the Qi family. Only the family can survive." Qi Zhe said arrogantly.

Now Qi Ze is the only one left in the third room, but everyone from the second room in the eldest room is still there.The power of one person is definitely not as great as that of many people.He and Qi Chen are still protected by their parents, but Qi Ze has nothing, and the only one he can rely on is the so-called Qi family.

And even though Qi Ze is now a member of King Jin, he is incompatible with those who support the prince, but blood is thicker than water.No matter how much Qi Ze hates them in his heart, this bloodline cannot be changed, they can only be tied together, and no one can break free.

Qi Ze looked at the smug Qi Zhe, but didn't speak.It seems that Qi Zhe thinks that if the first and second bedroom are prosperous, they can be superior to others.

Although Qi Zhe is stupid, what he said is not unreasonable, she really can't change this bloodline.Although she is the only one left in the third room, she is enough.Her third bedroom doesn't need any Qi family anymore, her father doesn't need it, and she doesn't need it either.

Anyway, it has reached this point, so the so-called blood is empty talk.And now that she has grown wings, she no longer needs the Qi family's help.And if something really happens in the future, the Qi family will not help her, and in the end they can only rely on themselves.

And when the father was alive, didn't the eldest and the second wife live well under the protection of the father.Because his father is a military general, the only military general in the Qi family, and he is the solid backing to protect those civil servants.At that time, Sanfang was brilliant for a while, and even Dafang couldn't catch up with it.

And his father is gentle and kind, not to mention a compatriot and relative.So every time the eldest and second wife asked for something, my father would agree.

Now that Qi Zhe mentioned to her the achievements of the eldest and second wife, they probably forgot how humble they were under the protection of the third wife.

So Qi Ze just smiled lightly, "Second brother, don't forget that when father was alive, even the elder brother would look at the third wife's face, let alone your second wife. And the third brother of that woman would not give the second brother Yes, Second Brother should rest his mind earlier."

After finishing speaking, Qi Ze was about to turn around and leave.

"Qi Ze, don't be complacent. I want to fix that woman." Qi Zhe from behind said angrily.

Qi Ze stopped slightly, turned his head to look at Qi Zhe, "In this case, the second brother will come and grab it, and the third brother will be waiting for you at any time. But the second brother should not come to climb the walls of Fusheng Pavilion in the future, after all, beauties don't like climbing walls man."

After finishing speaking, Qi Ze continued to walk forward, not looking at the distraught Qi Zhe behind him.

Maybe this provocation and warning played a role, Qi Zhe really didn't come to Fusheng Pavilion to climb the wall again.But I heard from Cang Zhu that Qi Zhe went to Yijun Tower more diligently.

Go to Yijun Tower?After hearing this, Qi Ze remembered that she threw Qi Zhe into the Yijun Tower for three days during the horse's illness.It seems that Qi Zhe is still stubborn, knowing that he is not her opponent, so he ran to Yijunlou to be happy.

Even Cang Zhu sighed, he had seen someone with a short memory, but he had never seen someone with such a short memory like Qi Zhe.He was so weak that he couldn't even stand on the ground before, and the fact that he was carried back by someone sent by Qi Cheng had probably been forgotten.

But Qi Ze didn't take it seriously, he just asked Cang Zhu to keep a close eye on Qi Zhe and follow him.

　Xu Youyi: Brother, are you looking for me?
　　Xu Siheng: No, I'm here to find my brother-in-law.
