Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 58
Li Chi held the hot tea and lowered his eyes and smiled: "Miss Xiao has already said that since she is your uncle's daughter, it should be Shi Jingran, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials who is married to the Xiao family. As far as I know, Lord Shangshu has five daughters under his knees. My daughter is married far away, and the rest have not yet left the cabinet, have they?"

Xiao Yongqi also laughed along with Li Chi, and said unsuspectingly: "It's true that my cousin is my uncle's daughter, but she is neither second nor third! Since the prince is so powerful, why don't you guess first?" Guess, you are good if you answer correctly, but if you answer incorrectly, you will be punished!"

Li Chi said with a smile unchanged: "Miss Xiao's words made me have to cheer up and make a guess. However, if I answer wrong, I will be punished. Correspondingly, if I am right, I will be rewarded. Why? Can we just punish and not reward?”

Seeing Xiao Yongqi talking more and more, Shi Yiqing quickly interrupted and said, "Seventh sister, don't play around, the prince's state affairs are serious, how can you and I disturb the prince for such a game? Besides, the prince is smart, and he has already guessed me. Your identity has come, now it’s just to make you want a reward.”

It was only then that Xiao Yongqi realized that she was a bit talkative today, and hurriedly supported a stiff smile and said angrily: "What my cousin said is that even the emperor personally praised the prince's intelligence, so these little tricks are naturally not in the prince's eyes. "

Li Chi turned his eyes to look at Shi Yiqing who was on the side, and said with a smile: "Miss Xiao is really vigilant, but you shouldn't say what is in my heart, if it's just because of a gift, I will be narrow-minded and wanton revenge on Xiao's family and others." What can the Shi family do?"

There was a wind blowing, tugging at Shi Yiqing's veil, and blowing away Shi Yiqing's cold words: "The prince has great ambitions, so naturally he won't offend his important officials because of such a trivial matter. Besides, my seventh sister and I are just daughters, with money in our hands." It can't compare to the prince's magnanimity. I'm afraid that the prince will take the opportunity of guessing riddles and ask for something priceless. If the seventh sister and I can't get it, wouldn't it be rude to others? If we can barely get it, wouldn't the prince be afraid of me? Do you and your sister resent you?"

Li Chi laughed loudly and said, "As expected, he is eloquent, and I am convinced of what he said."

Xiao Yongqi raised her eyebrows and said savagely: "Since the prince is convinced, he should show something, so that he can be named a gentleman, right?"

"Well, Miss Xiao is right, but I don't know what Miss Xiao wants to ask for."

Xiao Yongqi turned her eyes to look at Shi Yiqing who was beside her and said with a smile: "We don't care about your things, no matter how valuable they are, we don't want them in front of us. However, since the prince has opened his mouth, why not agree to one of my requests, prince Don't worry, you must be able to do it, and I won't deliberately make things difficult for you!"

Li Chi nodded, and said curiously: "Okay, I promise you, but I don't know what Miss Xiao wants to do?"

"I didn't think about it for a while, cousin, I wonder if there is anything you want to do?"

Xiao Yongqi looked at Shi Yiqing and shook her head, leaned on her chin and thought for a moment, suddenly, she clenched her right hand into a fist, lightly thumped it into the palm of her left hand, and said excitedly: "Prince, I have an idea, but I don't know if you can do it."

Li Chi asked with more interest: "Didn't Ms. Xiao just say that it's something I can't do?"

"You can definitely do this, but I don't know if you are willing or not." Xiao Yongqi smiled like a flower, and said in a sweet voice, "I heard that the emperor is going to hunt for autumn, and I really want to go, but my father doesn't want to go. Rang, I wonder if the prince can let me go with my cousin?"

Shi Yiqing frowned and said softly: "This is your own idea, don't drag me, and I don't know how to ride a horse, no matter whether the family agrees or not, I don't want to go."

Xiao Yongqi took Shi Yiqing's arm and said coquettishly: "Cousin, why don't you just go, don't you just have the heart to watch me go alone? Go, let's just relax, okay?"

"You crazy girl, don't say how dangerous it is there, just say that you begged the prince recklessly, isn't this causing trouble for the prince again?"

"How did I get the prince into trouble?"

Shi Yiqing Surong said softly: "Let's not say that you don't know how to ride a horse, and you need someone else to teach you. Even if you learn to ride a horse, it's autumn hunting, and it's the most dangerous place. At that time, the prince I have to be distracted to come and take care of you, isn't this a difficult thing for someone to force?"

When Xiao Yongqi heard this, she also knew that she was reckless, but it was a pity that she lost a chance to be alone with Mu Weidao, she huddled on the stone bench angrily, and stopped talking.

Li Chi, who was watching coldly from the side, sneered, shook his head and said: "You two sisters don't have to sing and act in front of me. Since I agreed to one of your requests, Miss Xiao is still willing to go hunting. It's not a big deal to say something in front of Mrs. Shi. Besides, there are imperial guards on the field, and the two ladies can't be hurt by stray arrows, so it doesn't matter if they go away."

When Xiao Yongqi heard this, she quickly got up and thanked him, she couldn't help looking at Mu Weidao, and said shyly: "Brother Mu, my riding and archery is not very good, I don't know when it is convenient for you, can you teach me?" what?"

Shi Yiqing shook his head with a wry smile, and said to himself, Yongqi Xiao, Yongqi Xiao, your nympho look is too obvious, no one can see it, your heart is on Mu Weidao!

Mu Weidao, who had been silent all this time, stared at Xiao Yongqi with his eyes closed, and was about to say no, when he heard Li Chi who was beside him agreed first, and said: "If Miss Xiao doesn't dislike it, I would naturally be willing to come to Wei Dao."

Although Xiao Yongqi didn't get Mu Weidao's consent, but seeing Mu Weidao never refused, thinking about seeing him every day in a few days, her heart became more and more excited, two red clouds covered her face and couldn't get down.

Li Chi stood up with a smile, stood with his hands behind his back, and said slowly: "It's getting late, I still have some things to do, I'm afraid I have to say goodbye first, goodbye!" After speaking, he led Mu Weidao out of the lake The gazebo, after walking a long way, can still hear the screams from the gazebo.

Mu Weidao behind him frowned incomprehensibly, and seeing Li Chi turning his eyes to look at him, he said in a deep voice, "Third Prince, why did you agree to Miss Xiao's request?"

Li Chi asked casually, "Which request? Take them to the autumn hunting, or let you teach Miss Xiao how to ride and shoot?"

"I don't understand both." Mu Weidao said without concealing, "In fact, you could have refused on the spot, why did you agree so easily?"

Li Chi sighed softly, stopped and looked sideways at Mu Weidao, and said slowly: "I agreed to take them because I suddenly became interested in that Miss Shi Jiasi, and why did I rashly agree to Xiao Xiao for you?" Seventh Miss, it's just an infatuation that wants to fulfill her."

Mu Weidao is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart. He understands that Li Chi's so-called wish to fulfill Xiao Yongqi's infatuation is just to push the boat along the way and marry Xiao Yongqi into the Mu family, so as to win over the Xiao family and make them surrender.

However, Mu Weidao did not agree with Li Chi's approach, and it could even be said that he was a little disgusted.However, as his subject, he can only accept it.

Li Chi noticed Mu Weidao's reluctance, stopped and looked sideways at Mu Weidao, and said in a deep voice: "I know what you are thinking, and I also know that my actions are not acceptable to you, but, Weidao, We are above the court, so we have to use these political marriages, which cannot be avoided by you and me."

He paused, raised his eyes to look at the distant mountains, and continued: "You and I grew up together, and I have always treated you as a younger brother. I know your thoughts. If it is not for the woman I like, I will marry you according to your plan. The infatuated blood of the family will definitely not marry into the family. However, the identity of the Xiao family is there, and you have to give the face of the head of Yinshan County. If it is really a last resort, I can only make decisions without authorization Married the seventh lady of the Xiao family as his wife. Wei Dao, don't blame me for not reminding you, your marriage is not yours alone!"

Mu Weidao lowered his eyes and nodded to accept Li Chi's discipline. He knew that since the Mu family chose him to follow Li Chi, even his life was no longer his own. It was just a political marriage, of course. It is only right to marry a woman from an aristocratic family who can benefit Li Chi.

Li Chi looked at Mu Weidao's pensive look, and knew that although he couldn't digest his words for a while, he would still choose to accept all of this and not worry about his emotions, so he remembered another thing in a blink of an eye: "Weidao , don't you think that the Miss Shi Jiasi we saw today looks like someone I've seen somewhere?"

Mu Weidao pondered over and over again with lowered eyes, and decided to say it: "More than two months ago, when we came back from Lizhou, we stayed in a farm outside the city. It was raining heavily that night. You said you couldn't sleep, so let me go out with you. Let's go, I saw a woman standing in the rain not far away, and asked me to take an umbrella to cover her."

Li Chi nodded in a daze, his eyes flickering with a smile: "I remember, that girl saw you passing by, and ran away in fright, didn't she? I laughed at you at that time, saying that most girls in the capital looked at you. You can't help screaming, this is the first time you can't help running away."

Mu Weidao bowed his head silently, his thoughts drifted away, thinking back to Shi Yiqing who came on the moon a few days ago, he was really like a heavenly man, beautiful and incomparably beautiful.It's just that such a woman seems to run away every time she sees him.

Li Chi walked along the lake, and said thoughtfully: "Unexpectedly, such a concubine daughter under Shi Jingran's knees is so smart and eloquent, but I don't know what his concubine daughter Shi Xuanxin will be like?"

There was no response to his words, he looked back at Mu Weidao behind him in surprise, and said, "Why didn't you answer?"

Mu Weidao put a blank face, and said in a deep voice: "I have never seen that woman named Shi Xuanxin, and I don't know how clever Shi Jingran's daughter is."

Li Chi shook his head and laughed loudly: "I don't understand, how come there is such a piece of wood like you in this world, and it's really strange that a piece of wood like you can still have girls fascinated by you."

"The third prince is talking about Miss Xiao?"

Li Chi suppressed his smile, and said indifferently, "You're not particularly stupid!"

Mu Weidao frowned, thinking of Xiao Yongqi's barbaric behavior just now, he felt displeased, and felt that such a woman was even tougher than a man, how could he marry and go home?

Although he thought this way in his heart, he didn't dare to say more, and directly refused in front of Li Chi, and could only walk forward silently by Li Chi's side.
