When he was sleeping at night, Xiao Yi looked at Jiang Ning who was serving him and suddenly asked.
"How do you show affection to a woman?"
Jiang Ning, who was making up the bed tent, stumbled and almost fell onto the bed.
He smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, the young one is a eunuch, how can he know how to show favor to a woman?"
Xiao Yi nodded, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Jiang Ning is the hometown of Xiao Yi's mother and is eight years older than Xiao Yi. When he was on duty in the palace, he made a mistake and was scolded by a cane, and almost died. Shi Lanyu rescued him when he passed by. After he recovered from his injury, he spent money and was transferred to Shi Lanyu as an errand. After Shi Lan died, he was the only one willing to stay and continue to serve Xiao Yi.
The next day, Xiao Yi went to look for Qu Moran, and he asked the same question again.
"How do you show affection to a woman?"
"Pfft~~~"
Qu Moran spit out a mouthful of tea, clenched his fists and choked for a long time.
"Do you have a woman you like?" Qu Moran calmly asked.
"No." Xiao Yi shook his head.
"Did the Fourth Prince choose that for you?" Qu Moran guessed right.
Qu Moran saw the relationship between Xiao Yi and Xiao Chengzhi, and he naturally knew that the real Xiao Yi was not the Xiao Yi in Xiao Cheng's eyes.
Xiao Yi said: "He has taken a fancy to the Tengjia Army of the Dasu Kingdom, and so have I."
Xiao Yi is a man of few words. Those who can say one sentence will never explain too much. Qu Moran was also used to it. His mind turned a few times and something suddenly occurred to him.
He couldn't help but said in surprise: "Are you talking about Princess Wei Qi of Corning County?"
It's not that Qu Moran is extremely smart and can guess the person Xiao Cheng picks at once, but Wei Qian is so famous recently that she can think of it with just a little thought.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yi frowned and asked in confusion.
When Qu Moran saw Xiao Yi like this, he knew that he didn't know anything about the excitement in Kyoto, so he kindly told him the story from beginning to end.
After Xiao Yi heard this, he still frowned: "So? What's wrong with this?"
Qu Moran looked at Xiao Yi speechlessly, and finally said patiently: "Marry a virtuous wife. If you marry someone with bad character, it will lead to unrest in the family. As the saying goes, 'Marrying a virtuous wife will destroy three generations.'"
Xiao Yi didn't take it seriously: "As long as we have the Tengjia Army."
Qu Moran was silent, not knowing how to persuade him.
Shortly after getting to know Xiao Yi, Qu Moran discovered that Xiao Yi was a person who lacked affection and little love. He seemed to be born with no need for feelings and no ability to understand.
But after thinking about it, Qu Moran could only sigh. The situation in the harem is treacherous, and it is not easy to live and grow up, so how can you expect anything else.
Qu Moran: "If you marry Wei Qian, you may be in opposition to the Shen family. Have you ever thought about this?"
Xiao Yi: "Since the fourth brother has taken a liking to the Shen family, he will not allow confrontation to arise."
After hearing this, Qu Moran thought for a long time and touched his chin: "Now the Shen and Wei families are at odds. He asked you to get close to the Wei family, but you are thinking about getting married to the Shen family. Everyone knows that you two are in the same boat... ..Do you want to have your cake and eat it too? Tsk, tut, I have a big appetite. But how to achieve it? Come forward to resolve the grudges between the two families?"
"This is not my business." Xiao Yi lowered his eyes and said indifferently.
"So, how do you show affection to a woman?"
The topic came back again.
Although Qu Moran is two years older than Xiao Yi, he has been wasting his time due to several changes in his family circumstances, and he is also a blank slate when it comes to love. How does he know how to pursue a woman!
So, the two of them chose a bookstore that specializes in casual books. It is said that there are all kinds of tricks in the market novels.
Wanxiang Bookstore is not a big place, but it is famous. It specializes in selling all kinds of anecdotes, historical records and folk tales, but not serious poetry and books.
Shen Zhuo and the others are regular visitors here.
This afternoon, there was another embroidery class in the women's college. Lu Wan'er was impatient to thread a needle and embroider, so she invited a few people to visit the Wanxiang Bookstore to see what new novels had been published.
As soon as they stepped into the bookstore, the shopkeeper greeted them with a smile. These little girls were his big customers.
Several people were led to the exclusive private room on the second floor of the bookstore. The waiter brought all the new story books recently for them to choose from.
"Hey, look, is that the seventh prince?" Zhang Jingyi suddenly shouted.
Everyone followed her hand and looked out, only to see two men stepping into the study room. One of them was wearing a bamboo-green brocade robe with dark flowers. He had high eyebrows and deep eyes, and was extremely handsome. Who else could he be if he wasn't Xiao Yi?
"Why did he come here?" Xiao Yushu was surprised.
Not only Xiao Yushu was deeply surprised, but everyone else present was also deeply surprised.
You must know that Xiao Yi is a legendary existence among many princes. Not only does his looks surpass all the princes, but his military prowess is also off the charts.
Xiao Yi went to war at the age of twelve. Whenever there is a war, he will always be on the front line, risking his life. He went into battle and killed countless enemies without ever being defeated. In just a few years, he rose from being a small captain to leading the army.
If he hadn't been only sixteen years old, the titles of Tiansheng God of Killing and God of War would have belonged to him.
Shouldn't such a person go to buy art of war and read strategies and so on? I actually want to visit Vientiane Bookstore!
Several people were so curious that they stuck their heads out of the window and listened with bated breath to what was going on below.
Shen Zhuo's jaw dropped in shock. Xiao Yi was reading the script? Is this the sun rising in the west? !
In her previous life, she and Xiao Yi had lived together for more than ten years, and she had never seen any idle books in Xiao Yi's study, not even a single one!
Shen Zhuo looked at the person downstairs silently. Is this person Xiao Yi? Did you admit your mistake?
Another person walking with him was wearing an indigo plain cotton robe, with handsome features and a square hat, looking like a standard scribe.
They didn't recognize this man, Lu Waner, but Shen Zhuo recognized him. He was Xiao Yi's sworn brother and later the prince of the southern states, Qu Moran.
Not only did Xiao Yi want to read the script, but Qu Moran also read it? Shen Zhuo felt that his cognition had been greatly impacted.
Or maybe it could be said that when they were sixteen or seventeen years old, the two of them were not as mature and prudent as they would be a few years later. There were also times when they were young and wild and uninhibited?
"Shopkeeper, do you have a book of stories about generals and beauties in your store?" A clear voice came from downstairs.
Several people upstairs looked at each other with excitement, it turned out that the Seventh Prince was such a person!
The unruly and stern Xiao Yi suddenly became friendly in their eyes.
Shen Zhuo couldn't help but grind his teeth.
In the previous life, when she was chasing after him, he acted like a pimple and knew nothing about romance. It turned out that it was all an act!
This liar!
Shen Zhuo suddenly frowned and thought to himself: Or is Xiao Yi already meeting Lin Feifeng at this time?
After a while, Shen Zhuo shook his head in denial. Now Lin Jiaquan is taking office in Jiangbei and has not returned to Kyoto. Besides, even if they really meet, Lin Feifeng is still under ten years old...
But little did Shen Zhuo know that when she came back from rebirth, the wheel of fate in her previous life had already deviated from its original track.
In the previous life, she failed to foil Han Zhizhi's trick and failed to save Han Mei, so she did not beat up Wei Qi. Naturally, Wei Qi's reputation was not ruined. It was not Xiao Cheng's turn to make plans for Wei Qian's marriage. Of course, Xiao Yi had never been to Wanxiang Bookstore.
Once the gears of destiny are misaligned, the slightest deviation can lead to a thousand miles of misalignment.
The waiter brought a large pile of books and placed them on the counter for the two young men to choose from.
Several eyes were spying on them upstairs. Qu Moran noticed it, and Xiao Yi naturally noticed it too.
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows and glanced sharply towards the second floor.
"Ah~~" Several little girls were startled, their heads shrank, and they all hid back in the room.
Qu Moran lowered his voice and chuckled: "Second brother, how can you chase a girl if you don't show any pity for her?"
Xiao Yi looked at the book on the counter: "Follow what is written in the book and you will never go wrong."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, picked up a stack of books, threw them to the shopkeeper, and said quietly: "I want them all, let's pay."
