Prince's Mansion.
Lu Xiaoxiao was a little depressed when he returned to Jingxiangyuan.
Earlier in His Highness's study, she had thought of testing whether His Highness would take over the Jiangnan bribery case.
Unexpectedly, after His Highness asked her a question in return, before she could react, His Highness refused to say anything.
Also, it is really not appropriate to explain this kind of important matter to her clearly in the court.
Lu Xiaoxiao was so sad that he missed the opportunity, and his whole body wilted.
After having lunch with His Highness, His Highness was busy dealing with affairs, so he asked her to come back first.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh, "Sure enough, I can only lie down. It's really difficult for me to do the task..."
But this is a task that is related to one's own life. It's impossible not to do it.
Seeing her master sighing and looking sad, Bai Zhi on the side couldn't help but said: "Master, seeing that the weather is good today, why don't you take a walk in the house?"
"Go for a walk?"
Lu Xiaoxiao, who was lying on the table, reluctantly raised her head. She squinted and looked outside. The weather outside was indeed very good.
Lu Xiaoxiao stood up with one hand on the table and walked out first: "Then Bai Zhi, come with me for a walk."
"Yes, Master."
Bai Zhi quickly followed.
The Prince's Mansion is very large, with long corridors leading to various courtyards. If you don't pay attention for a moment, you will get lost.
But now that Bai Zhi is leading the way, Lu Xiaoxiao doesn't wander around and just follows her. Wherever Bai Zhi goes, she will follow.
After going around in a circle, Lu Xiaoxiao arrived outside Qingshu Courtyard.
Lu Xiaoxiao stopped and looked at Bai Zhi suspiciously, "Bai Zhi, did you... come here on purpose?"
Bai Zhi quickly shook her head: "Master, I don't dare. I just thought that after my master entered the house, I never took a closer look at the courtyards in the house. It is precisely because of this that I will take my master around to know the way."
Hearing this, Lu Xiaoxiao nodded thoughtfully.
She is indeed not familiar with the various courtyards of the Prince's Mansion now. Bai Zhi did this for her own good.
Lu Xiaoxiao had no intention of blaming Bai Zhi, "Don't panic, I was just asking casually."
"Yes, Master."
Bai Zhi quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go back to Jingxiangyuan."
Lu Xiaoxiao was thinking about leaving with Bai Zhi, but first he heard "Sister" from Concubine Xiao.
[Oops, why did Concubine Xiao come out at this time? 】
Xiao Shuyi:......
As soon as she heard that Lu Fengyi was standing outside Qingshu Courtyard, Xiao Shuyi hurried out, fearing that she would not be able to stop him.
Fortunately, I caught up.
Xiao Shuyi walked towards Lu Xiaoxiao with light steps, a gentle smile on her face: "Why don't you come in and sit down when you arrive at your sister's Qingshu Courtyard?"
[I just happened to be passing by, why didn’t Concubine Xiao let me go? 】
Lu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, turned around bravely, raised her eyes to look at Concubine Xiao, and said happily: "I have met Sister Concubine Xiao."
Xiao Shuyi quickly held her hands and said, "Sister, there is no need to be polite."
Although Xiao Shuyi knew that Lu Fengyi was very wary of her, at this moment, she really wanted to be nice to Lu Fengyi.
This morning, the Xiao family sent someone to send her a letter, saying that with the help of His Highness, the second brother had been released from prison and the Xiao family was freed from implication.
Based on this incident, the Xiao family will definitely obey His Highness the Crown Prince's orders from now on and put His Highness the Crown Prince first in everything.
But Xiao Shuyi knew in her heart that Lu Fengyi should be the biggest contributor to the Xiao family's escape.
Thinking of this, Xiao Shuyi's eyes towards Lu Fengyi became softer.
But Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but shudder.
[Help, what on earth does Concubine Xiao want to do to me? Why does she smile so gently? 】
[Could it be that Concubine Xiao is thinking of another way to lock me in a dark room? 】
Xiao Shuyi: "..."
Listening to the defensive voice, Xiao Shuyi gritted her teeth in her heart, couldn't Lu Fengyi think about the good things?
That's all, one day, Lu Fengyi will understand that she treats her sincerely.
"Sister, my sister sent someone out today to bring back some new tea. Why don't you come in and try it?"
Xiao Shuyi took Lu Xiaoxiao's arm and led her into Qingshu Courtyard.
In front of the maid, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't politely refuse Concubine Xiao, so he had to say "ok" and was taken in by Concubine Xiao.
[I wonder if Concubine Xiao will let me leave after I drink tea. 】
[If I had known that I would meet Concubine Xiao, I would not have listened to Bai Zhi and walked out. 】
Lu Xiao carefully complained, and Xiao Shuyi pretended not to hear.
After asking the maid to bring new tea, Xiao Shuyi made the tea herself.
Lu Xiaoxiao was sitting opposite her, staring intently at Concubine Xiao's elegant movements. Every move she made was pleasing to the eye.
[I have to say that Concubine Xiao is really beautiful at this time. 】
[Your Highness is really lucky to be able to marry Concubine Xiao! 】
Xiao Shuyi, who was waking up from tea, couldn't help but curl her lips.
In fact, she didn't know the art of tea before entering the prince's palace. She learned it from her third brother after she was given the title of concubine by the emperor.
Soon, the tea was ready.
Xiao Shuyi poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Lu Fengyi, with a smile in her eyes: "Sister, try it."
"This is the Xiao family's new tea this year. I've finished all the tea that Third Brother asked me to bring here before. That's when I thought of sending someone out to the Xiao family's shop to bring some more."
"If the younger sister likes it, the elder sister will give some to the younger sister."
Lu Xiaoxiao looked at Concubine Xiao, then looked down at the teacup in front of her.
The tea is clear and has a light tea aroma.
"Thank you, Sister Concubine, for the tea."
After struggling for a moment, Lu Xiaoxiao picked up the tea cup, lowered his head and took a sip. The first thing he tasted was a very light sweetness, followed by the astringency of the tea leaves. After tasting it carefully, it became sweet again.
[It seems like this new tea tastes pretty good? 】
Xiao Shuyi held back her smile.
She knew that no one would dislike the tea grown by her third brother!
While Lu Fengyi was not paying attention, Xiao Shuyi asked her maid to pack up all the new tea brought back today, and asked Lu Fengyi to take it back later.
Seeing Lu Fengyi finish the tea in the cup, Xiao Shuyi asked: "Sister, what do you think of the taste of this tea?"
"cough."
Lu Xiaoxiao coughed lightly to cover up her embarrassment, and drank all the tea without noticing.
"Sister Concubine, the tea here is delicious."
"As long as my sister likes it."
Sensing that Lu Fengyi seemed to have relaxed, Xiao Shuyi remembered what her second brother had asked her to do and pretended to be casual: "Lu Fengyi, it's my birthday in a few days. What do you think, please invite the female relatives from each house to come over and have some fun?" "
【Um? Why did Concubine Xiao ask me on her birthday? 】
Lu Xiaoxiao: "Very good."
"But there is one thing that makes me deeply confused. I originally planned to invite the third lady of the Liang Mansion, but the Liang Mansion did not accept the invitation."
Xiao Shuyi really sent the invitation to Liang Mansion.
Hearing this, Lu Xiaoxiao was stunned.
【Miss Liang San? The girl who saved scumbag Xiao? Her legs are useless, how can she get here? 】
