Chapter 403 Doting on a Concubine is Difficult (21)

"Time is pressing, so it is not appropriate to talk too much."

Qiao Wei said casually.

Her heart was a little confused, she really didn't expect that the noble lady accompanied by Lu Guo would be Qiao Xuan.

According to the usual rules, aren't the guests at the Golden Autumn Banquet all the sons-in-law and daughters-in-law of famous families?
Qiao Xuan she...

How did she get into this golden autumn banquet as an adopted daughter?

Qiao Wei didn't dare to think deeply.

In fact, the current situation does not allow her to hesitate.

This is her only way out.

"Okay, Xuan'er won't ask any more questions. Sister Wei, don't worry, Xuan'er will ask the son-in-law about this matter. As long as the son-in-law speaks, it must not be difficult."

Qiao Xuan looks cute, but Qiao Wei is always a little awkward in her heart.

"Sister Wei, where do you live? Are you ready to eat? Do you want Xuan'er to go to the kitchen to get some food?" Qiao Xuan's eyes suddenly fell on her neck. "Hey, sister Wei was bitten by a mosquito? Why did she bite so hard? Did you apply ointment?"

Looking at the enthusiastic Qiao Xuan, Qiao Wei dispelled the slightest doubt in her heart.

Perhaps, it was she who saved the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?
She touched her neck in embarrassment, "Isn't it? The mosquitoes in this mountain are too powerful."

"Mosquitoes are poisonous in the mountains. Sister Wei is waiting until Xuan'er goes to find some mugwort to drive them away."

"No, thank you." Qiao Wei withdrew the hand held by Qiao Xuan, "Think about what you just said, and I will contact you again."

Farewell to Qiao Xuan, Qiao Wei hurriedly disappeared into the night.

Qiao Xuan picked up the lantern on the ground, faced the firelight, and took a picture of the letter in his hand.

very thin.

The letter that Qiao Wei asked her to deliver was a piece of silk, of high quality, as if it had been torn from the hem of a garment, neatly folded into a square piece of tofu.

This way of folding...

Qiao Xuan's eyes flashed.

It is the secret between Qiao Wei and Qiao Taichang.

Qiao Xuan once saw their father and daughter playing this game when they were young. They simply folded them up and handed them over to someone else. I didn't write anything, but in the hands of the recipient, it can conjure calligraphy and paintings for no reason.

Not only that, the recipient only needs to glance to see if the letter has been opened by others.

Qiao Xuan felt very curious. She pestered Qiao Taichang and asked Qiao Wei for a long time. The father and daughter were very mysterious and refused to say anything.

It can be seen that an adopted daughter is an adopted daughter after all, no matter how much they love her, it is impossible to compare with their own.

Closer to home, she can't open this letter.

Qiao Xuan put the silk on the light of the fire, and according to the light, a black burning mark appeared in the center of the flame.

Can't take it apart, but...

What if it accidentally gets burned?
"Ah!" Qiao Xuan loosened his hand, and the silk fell, and was burnt into a ball of charred black in an instant. "Why am I so careless?"

Some palace people passed by and cast a curious look.

Qiao Xuan stamped his feet anxiously, with a look of anxiety on his face, but he didn't intend to pull the silk out of the fire.

The door was pushed open with a "squeak", and the unattractive young lady of the State of Lu poked her head out and asked curiously, "Xuan'er, what are you doing?"

"It's nothing, I accidentally burned a piece of handkerchief." Qiao Xuan stepped on the burnt silk and crushed it vigorously.

She really hoped that it was her sister Wei, who was always on top, who was trampled under her feet at this moment.

Only by tearing Sister Wei off the altar, Qiao Xuan will have a day of excellence!
The female son asked confusedly: "Oh, I just fell into a drowsy sleep, and I heard a sound outside, Xuan'er, who are you talking to?"

"Really? My son heard it wrong. Xuan'er just came back with food and saw that she was still awake. I didn't know whether to call out. I was in a hurry and said a few more words, but I didn't expect to wake her up." Qiao Xuan smiled shyly. , made a salute. "Xuan'er was wrong, Xuan'er made an apology to the young master."

The female son hurriedly went to help her, "Hey, Xuan'er doesn't need to be polite."

The burnt silk fluttered with the wind, and unconsciously, it caught up with Qiao Wei who was walking vigilantly in the other palace.

Qiao Wei vaguely saw a group of black marks floating by, she was stunned, and looked back subconsciously.

... Was it her illusion?
I always feel that something is wrong.

She looked around hastily, guessing that it was time for Mo Jing to come back, so she quickly lifted the hem of her skirt and walked a few steps.

There was no light in the bedroom, and it was still the same as when she left.

Qiao Wei came trotting all the way, got into the room through the window, opened a crack in the door, rubbed her eyes as if she had just woken up, and took a good look at the situation.

The maids were still guarding outside the door, and Mo Jing's seat was vacant.

It seems that she came back just in time.

Qiao Wei twitched the corners of her mouth proudly.

Look, even without the fairy art, she is not so useless.

Qiao Wei closed the door, and under the hazy moonlight coming in from the window, she groped her way to the candlestick, took out the torch and lit the lamp.

When the flames flickered, less than five inches from the tip of her nose, there was a piece of dark ink-colored cloth, embroidered with rhododendrons and red flowers on a black background, which was extraordinarily enchanting.

Qiao Wei froze.

This pattern, this style, this fabric...

It seems very familiar...

She slowly raised her head stiffly, and bumped into a pair of icy black eyes, which suddenly dilated!

Young master Xuanyi!

No, shouldn't he be accompanying guests in the front hall at this time, bah, flirting with those noble girls?

"Have you had fun?"

Young Master Xuan had a smile on his lips, and his eyes were piercing, which made Qiao Wei tremble in fright, and almost dropped the lamp.

In a panic, she put the lamp back to its original position, and smiled dryly: "Master, when did you come? It's so quiet, it's scary."

"Oh? This young master looks scary?" Every time young master Xuan Yi said a word, his body would slowly lean forward a little bit, while Qiao Wei would subconsciously back a little bit.

Unknowingly, Qiao Wei bumped into a short table with her lower back, and accidentally knocked the celadon on the table to the ground.

She looked down, rice, pastries, and sweet soup were scattered all over the floor, and all kinds of flavors were mixed together. In the end, she didn't know what the taste of the mixture was.

Qiao Wei lowered her eyes, staring blankly at the overturned food, and didn't move for a long time.

These meals are for two people.

In other words, he didn't stay in the front hall to eat at all, but took the food for two people, turned down the entertainment with all the female guests, and came to eat with her in high spirits, and the result...

In the end, she was found to have sneaked away.

Qiao Wei felt her heart was being grabbed by an invisible hand, and she couldn't speak for a while.

How could there be such an elusive person in the world?
He was the cruelest, most paranoid lunatic she had ever seen.

At the same time, he is also the most gentle and considerate person in this world to her.

Cruel and gentle, paranoid and considerate...

Why do they appear in the same person at the same time?
