Tianhuang nobleman

Chapter 96

Bai Ren was afraid that people would see him, so he didn't even go out of the main courtyard every day. Fortunately, he didn't feel bored, and he was able to watch Qi Xiao every day, not to mention that he could only stay in this courtyard, or just let him stay. In a room where not to go anywhere, Bai Jian is also willing.

And this is more in line with Qi Xiao's mind, since the hidden injury has healed, there is no need to be jealous, Qi Xiao asked the people in the dining room to cook all kinds of food every day, needless to say for the main meal, just put it in the room Qi Xiao has a fixed number of desserts—it changes every half an hour, more salty and meaty ones before lunch, and more steamed egg soufflés after lunch, each time there are twelve tricks, not allowed within two days Repeat, every time it is withdrawn, what kind of Bairen has moved, and how many kinds of what has been moved must be recorded one by one. The cook who makes more snacks and Bairen eats more will be rewarded. The daily meals are also according to In this example, the dim sum and various soups made by the people in the dining room became more and more exquisite. After a few days, the craftsmanship was close to that of the imperial dining room.

Bai Ren seems to have spent half a year in the Lingnan ascetic monk, and now his lovesickness is gone. Seeing that the food is so exquisite and attractive, there are indeed many people to eat. There is an old woman who has been serving Qi Xiao for many years, fearing that he suddenly has an appetite and will accumulate food. Tete made candied hawthorn and brought it up for Bai Ren to digest. It was quite effective. Qi Xiao immediately rewarded him with a purse of golden melon seeds.

In this way, the fine clothes and jade food have been nourished, but within ten days, Bai Ren seemed to be a different person, with some blood on his face, rounded chin, and some flesh on his body, it was not so scary anymore, and the two of them at night When lying down, Qi Xiao hugged the person in his arms and sighed softly: "Sure enough... loneliness is the good medicine for you."

Bai Ren burst out laughing, Qi Xiao squeezed his chin with a smile, and said softly, "Have you been bored these few days?"

Bai Ren shook his head: "I have to write documents to Lingnan during the day, and play chess with you at night. Fortunately, these days you are bored in this room as soon as you return home. Do you find it boring?"

Qi Xiao curled his lips into a smile: "Where, it's really interesting."

Bai Ren raised his eyebrows puzzled, and Qi Xiao smiled complacently: "You don't understand the fun of hiding in the golden house."

Bai Ren didn't know whether to laugh or cry, turned around and was about to lie down, Qi Xiao hurriedly stopped him and said with a smile: "Don't sleep now, I'm afraid you will accumulate food and hurt your body if you sleep now, let's talk later."

"What are you talking about?" Bai Ren thought for a while, "By the way, I just received Lingnan's letter this morning, and I wanted to tell you that you forgot because you went to court and came back...Kangtai said, she wants marry."

Qi Xiao laughed: "All of them are going to be married? Hehe... Well, which one did she choose?" Qi Xiao still vaguely remembered what the princess Dunsu told him about the families, but it was hard for Kangtai to be able to do so. Pick out a satisfactory one.

Bai Ren said for a long time: "The young master of my cousin's family... is the second son of Mr. Li, a member of the Ministry of Industry."

Qi Xiao remembered that it was the young man who had a wonderful wife in his family, and Qi Xiao laughed: "The family I chose for her is the only one that doesn't want a wife in the main house, and is eager to be a concubine, haha... ...after all, the origin of family education."

Bai Ren drooped his eyes: "She's not stupid. The eldest daughter of Princess Dunsu's in-law's family is a lunatic. It's impossible to torture the people in the room. The grandson of the concubine's aunt... has no life expectancy. It is not certain whether he can conceive a child after the past, even if he can conceive, it is not certain whether it will be a boy, and he is a concubine, how much family property will he be able to share in the future? It is not economical to be a widow."

"But if you marry Master Li's second son, you will have more room to play... He has nothing under his knees. Mrs. Li intends to give her son a noble concubine just to play against her daughter-in-law. After getting married, she will be more protective of her. If Kangtai can really give birth to a boy, it’s fine to have someone to rely on in the future.” Bai Ren laughed mockingly, “Toffee called her away after the letter, and advised her, it’s better to find someone from a wealthy family. The farmer’s family should get married, it’s better to live in such peace and security than to be treated as a petty person and be humiliated by others, but unfortunately... Kangtai immediately pushed his neck back and asked the concubine why she didn’t hire Roujia to the farmer’s family that day.”

"The concubine is not good at bickering with others, but Madam Yan is very good. She immediately came down and slapped Kangtai's face twice. When asked about her face, Roujia's direct brothers also conspired against her, and Roujia's uncle's family also committed crimes." A serious crime, trying to change the world in vain, Kangtai will be speechless immediately."

Qi Xiao said indifferently: "The concubine has pleaded for her a lot before."

Bai Ren sighed: "My mother and concubine suffer here because she suffers. She is too soft-hearted. At that time, I was sincerely determined to kill Kangtai. I have no evidence of her participation in the treason, but she didn't respect her aunt before. , bullying sisters, this is a certainty, and... if I was the one who died that day, and Wen Yu was the successor, I don't believe they would leave the lives of my mother, concubine and Roujia. The concubine said it, but the concubine kept stopping her. I understand that the concubine mother was afraid that I would get a reputation for killing brothers and sisters. After that, I wanted Kangtai to guard the family for that kid in the Xia family, so as to save her life. I can see that the concubine mother The concubine still wanted to persuade me, but the concubine mother hesitated and felt that she shouldn't meddle too much in my affairs, so she endured it."

Qi Xiao is relieved, although the concubine is a bit too weak, but at least she has a clear head, knows who is the most important, and will not wantonly interfere with Bai Ren's affairs just because she is Bai Ren's mother, and the concubine has such a temper , it’s not that it’s not good at all...Qi Xiao is distracted, if the window paper between himself and Bai Ren is pierced in the future, I’m afraid it will not be difficult to convince the concubine. It's also difficult for me.

Bai Ren didn't know Qi Xiao's thoughts, so he said slowly: "But Kangtai himself is unwilling to live or die, and he must marry someone, so I don't care about it, and the clan can't blame me. I didn't stop her, but there must be someone Only if she is willing to marry her, if Princess Dunsu hadn't been able to lead her here, in Lingnan alone... no one would propose marriage in a lifetime. What Yan Yan said is that if she wants to marry well, she has to marry her. See what you are worth now."

Bai Ren looked at Qi Xiao and smiled gratefully: "This year, thanks to Nanny Yan, the concubine has something in her heart that she can't get over, and she can't figure it out. I persuade her, she smiles and says it's okay, but I know She will still think about me repeatedly in her heart, but Yanmao is different, what she said can really be said into the princess's heart."

Qi Xiao smiled in his heart, that's natural, Madam Yan won't be the concubine's confidant, how can she be a lobbyist for herself in the future, Qi Xiao said with a faint smile: "What are you talking about between us, Kangtai is willing to do so, Regardless of her, there will be no troubles."

Bai Ren nodded, and said again: "Also... what happened to the emperor's body in the past six months? Some people outside are spreading... saying that it is tuberculosis."

Qi Xiao smiled and said nothing, Bai Ren sat up and opened his eyes wide and said, "Is it really tuberculosis?"

Qi Xiao shook his head, pulled the quilt to press Bai Ren, and said in a low voice, "It's not tuberculosis, it's poisoning."

Bai Ren was startled, then understood, and said in a voiceless voice: "Yes..."

Qi Xiao smiled and nodded, Bai Ren subconsciously looked left and right, lowered his voice and said urgently: "You are crazy...if someone finds out, if..."

"That's right, I'm just crazy." Qi Xiao lowered his head and kissed Bai Ren's forehead dotingly, and whispered, "Don't worry, there's no such thing as that."

Qi Xiao hugged Bai Ren tightly in his arms again, and slowly told about the matter of poisoning in detail. Bai Ren was afraid that Qi Xiao might be incomprehensible, so after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't find anything wrong. But he was still worried, Qi Xiao sighed in a low voice: "Bai Ren... Since I came back from southern Xinjiang last year, I swore that I would never lie to you again in this life, so I told you this terrible thing, but ...I always lied to you before, not all to harm you, many times I didn't want you to worry in vain, but now I don't hide anything from you, you have to promise me one thing, so that I can rest assured .”

Bai Ren nodded in a daze, how could he not listen to what Qi Xiao said.

Qi Xiao paused and said in a low voice: "At most eight or nine months, at least five or six months, there must be a big change in Beijing, you have to promise me, when the time comes, you have to go back to Lingnan, pretend to be something I don't even know, wait for me..."

Bai Ren didn't want to interrupt: "Impossible, I'm not going anywhere."

"Listen to me first!" Qi Xiao frowned slightly, and slowed down his voice, "Your roots are in Lingnan, on the side of the imperial city. To put it bluntly, you don't help me much here, but rather worry me. It's better to go far away, I can also calm down and give it a go, it will be more beneficial to big things."

Bai Ren looked at Qi Xiao firmly, and said in a low voice: "There is something wrong with this. You said that you can hide it, so how could anyone know that I am coming? Besides...except for our own people, who would know? Are you sincere to me? It's a joke to threaten you with me. "

Qi Xiao was at a loss for words, then laughed, and said softly, "I'm so grown up, I'll gag you with what I taught you before."

Bai Ren subconsciously wanted to distinguish, but he held back and said again: "Or do you think that if you die, I will live alone?"

Qi Xiao subconsciously looked at the life talisman on his waist, Bai Ren lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "When that day really comes, I will pass the throne to Roujia's son-in-law, and then walk with you... A lonely day , I've had enough."

Qi Xiao felt a severe pain in his heart, and immediately said: "Forget it, I don't know how long it will be, you will die and live for nothing to worry about what to do..."

Bai Ren's heart was also sour, and he whispered: "I am not worrying about it for nothing, obviously His Highness insists on letting me go back."

Qi Xiao laughed, and coaxed softly: "Okay, I made a slip of the tongue, Lingnan King forgive me."

Bai Ren's complexion improved slightly, Qi Xiao was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable, so he hugged him and coaxed him for a long time, but in the end Qi Xiao didn't promise to let Bai Ren stay, Qi Xiao knew in his heart that it wasn't This is a perfect plan, no matter what, he will not let Bai Ren take risks with him, in the future... find a way to send him away, besides, Bai Ren doesn't know when he will do it, he can't always return to Lingnan, I must have a way to avoid it.

Qi Xiao doesn't say anything, Bai Ren also avoids talking about it, he knows that Qi Xiao has never allowed himself to get involved in such matters, so Bai Ren simply doesn't say much, now he is no longer the helpless proton he was back then, If things happen in the future, he will naturally have a way to help Qi Xiao.

But now... Bai Ren sighed in his heart, it's useless to talk too much, so there's no need to be serious with Qi Xiao.

When Bai Ren was in a trance, Qi Xiao kept gently rubbing his back to coax him, but at some point, his taste gradually changed, his hand was lowering down more and more, Bai Ren's face turned red when he came back to his senses, Slowly rubbing against the bed, Qi Xiao put his arms around his waist and laughed in a low voice: "It doesn't hurt anymore, does it?"

Bai Ren hesitated for a while, and finally shook his head honestly with a blushing face. The smile on Qi Xiao's face became wider, and he rolled over and pressed on him...
