Xiao Tingyun looked up in surprise. His expression just now suggested that he had recognized the owner of the jade pendant.

But what she didn't expect was that he still wanted to talk to her.

……

In the elegant room, Xiao Tingyun and Xu Huaili sat on both sides.

"General Xu, why are you looking for me?"

Xu Huaili kept thinking about the jade pendant. Hearing her voice, he put his words together slightly, "You jade pendant..."

"It looks very familiar."

Xiao Tingyun didn't explain much, "Really? It was a gift from someone else."

Xu Huaili suddenly felt a thump in his heart and had a bad premonition. He asked with difficulty, "Can you tell me who sent it?"

Xiao Tingyun smiled faintly, untied the jade pendant and put it in the palm of his hand.

Xu Huaili could see it more clearly this time.

Her delicate hands and delicate jade pendant complement her boneless beauty.

But Xu Huaili found it so dazzling.

For a moment, Xu Huaili felt that his breathing was suppressed, and no thoughts could dispel the stagnation at this moment.

In a daze, I heard Xiao Tingyun say, "If General Xu knows him, why bother asking."

I asked knowingly because I wanted to get some negative answer from her.

It's a pity...she wanted to let him know today.

She doesn't care about him, it's better for the two of them to be independent earlier.

Xu Huaili stared blankly into her bright eyes, the meaning inside was self-evident.

she knows?
Xu Huaili squeezed his hands under the table tightly, holding back to keep himself from losing his composure, and forced out a sentence through his teeth, "You know his identity!"

This time the tone was positive.

Xiao Tingyun raised her eyebrows, the meaning was obvious, yes, she knew.

"Then you still...?" Xu Huaili couldn't say the word "like", which sounded to him like a thunderbolt.

He thought about how if she didn't like him, someone else would like him in the future.

He is not afraid, so what if there is someone he likes? He believed that he could impress her, or be more forceful and snatch her away.

But I didn't expect that person to be His Majesty!
"Don't you want to have two people for the rest of your life?" Xu Huaili said with excitement, "Then why do you know his identity and still have no hesitation?"

Is it possible that she also wants the glory in the palace? ?
He didn't believe she was this kind of person! !

But the facts before him made him have to doubt.

Although Xiao Tingyun wondered why Xu Huaili could understand her thoughts, it did not alleviate Xiao Tingyun's somewhat unhappy mood, "General Xu, please respect yourself!"

In what capacity did he tell her this?

Why did they ask her for no reason?

Respect yourself! ! ?

Xu Huaili was filled with anger and suddenly spoke eloquently, "Is the glory in the palace really worth what you do?!!"

When Xiao Tingyun heard this, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and he sneered with a bit of self-deprecation, "What does it have to do with you!"

In his eyes, is she such a vain woman? ? Then why should he pursue him so closely?

The words "What does it have to do with you!" knocked Xu Huaili's anger to pieces. Xu Huaili twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Yeah... what does it have to do with me..."

Xu Huaili's eyes were filled with self-mockery, "I'm really crazy to think of you as her!"

After that, he stood up and left without looking back.

Xiao Tingyun frowned, who was he talking about?
Could it be that Xu Huaili regarded her as his Bai Yueguang substitute again?
Isn't it Li Yunran who is the substitute?
Xiao Tingyun was puzzled, and Xu Huaili walked out the door expressionlessly. Liu Chao originally wanted to ask.

As a result, when I saw his expression, I didn't dare to say anything.

Xiao Tingqi and Liu Yuhua hurried in to see what was going on inside.

Xu Huaili looked like he was about to hit someone just now.

Xiao Tingqi was really afraid that Xu Huaili would not be a good man and hit a woman with his fist!
The main reason was that he had beaten Xiao Tingyun, and he would not be able to explain himself when he went back. As a result, Xiao Tingyun was sitting still. Xiao Tingqi breathed a sigh of relief and asked Xiao Tingyun angrily, "What did you say just now? Xu Huaili looked so ugly? It's like someone owed him thousands of taels of silver." "

Xiao Tingyun slowly shook her head and put the jade pendant safely into her sleeves before they came in.

She didn't want to say that she had just had a showdown with him, after all, this matter should be kept secret.

Now that he should know about her and Pei Yuning, he should have no more thoughts.

If not, she wouldn't mind telling Pei Yuning about this and let him handle it.

Since Xiao Tingyun was fine, Xiao Tingqi suggested that he return home quickly. It took so long for him to cause so much trouble in just one day.

If her mother knew that she had met Liu Chao, she might nag her for how long.

Although Xiao Tingyun was determined to resolve the matter between her and Xu Huali privately.

But Pei Yuning's hands and eyes are not for dry food.

Everything about the last polo match and this time was passed to Pei Yuning's ears by Qing Yi.

Pei Yuning was concentrating with his eyes closed, holding his eyebrows with one hand, and quietly listened to Qing Yi report to him about Xiao Tingyun's recent affairs.

When Qing Yi said about Xu Huali, Pei Yuning's closed eyes suddenly opened, and a dark light flashed.

He murmured softly, "Xu Huaili..."

Qing Yi didn't dare to say anything, thinking that General Xu was still as bold as ever!

His mother had proposed marriage before, but this time it was he himself who was pestering Miss Xiao.

It’s really like a tiger plucking its hair from its beard, looking for death!
Pei Yuning's fingertips gently and slowly tapped on the table, regular and low, but impossible to ignore.

"Qing Yi, do you still remember what he said when I wanted to reward him that day?"

Qing Yi quickly glanced at his master's expression, pursed his lips and said, "General Xu said that he would be loyal to the country and not ask for rewards, but he hopes to ask for your majesty's favor in granting marriage in the future."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Yuning stopped his hand and smiled softly, making Qingyi tremble.

He swallowed in fear, and there was a slight drop of cold sweat on his head.

"In that case, I will help him. Come and tell Duke Xu Guo, Xu Huaili and Prince Qing to enter the palace," Pei Yuning shouted.

Zhang Quanfu immediately stepped out and said, "Yes."

Pei Yuning looked calm and lowered his eyes in silence.

But Qing Yi knew that it was a sign that the storm was coming.

Soon, both families were summoned.

Especially Prince Qing and his wife, they are just idle princes in the capital.

King Xianqing was the half-brother of the late emperor, and he had been staying peacefully in the capital.

Not long after the birth of their son, they both died of illness.

Later, it was the current Prince Qing who inherited the throne, but strangely enough, the couple also had a difficult time in the lineage and got a legitimate daughter. Later, when she was almost forty, Princess Qing got a son.

There are many women in the back house, many concubines, and only one son.

Prince Qing was timid and rarely entered the palace. He was even more flustered by his majesty, his cousin.

Although he was forty, Pei Yuning was usually better off, but his legs were still shaking a little when he saw Pei Yuning's expressionless face.

It's true that Pei Yuning was so serious when he was so serious about his words, he was afraid that he would get into trouble again and His Majesty would know about it.

I was still uneasy thinking about what kind of shameful deeds I had done recently and was reported? ?

Prince Qing asked Princess Qing silently.

Princess Qing glared at him, he had to ask himself! !

Could it be that someone saw him quietly visiting a brothel before?

Or was it because he took in another concubine two days ago, which made His Majesty displeased? ?

Prince Qing swallowed, shook his hands, picked up his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his head.

Otherwise, why would I suddenly think of him?
