Qi Yang specially waited outside the Hanlin Academy for a long time today, naturally not only for the mansion matter, or the matter of choosing the mansion was a pretense at all.
She came to support Lu Qipei. The bright identification was hung outside the carriage, and the people of the Hanlin Academy should know that the newly arrived Xiao Xiuzhuan was standing behind her, Princess Qiyang, and bullying people had to be weighed.
It's a pity that Lu Qipei came out a little late today, and didn't catch up with the good time to show his face in front of people, but it didn't matter, after all, her carriage was parked here, and someone always saw it. After a few days, everyone who should know will know.
Qi Yang supported his chin with one hand and carelessly rubbed the edge of the tea cup with the other, but his eyes fell on Lu Qipei beside him. Seeing that she was not in a hurry, she ate the whole plate of milk cakes, and after thinking about it, she took out a plate of hibiscus cakes and put it on the small table, and then looked at Lu Qipei, as if she was hoping to take the cakes and put it on the table. People are fed.
Lu Qipei blushed a little when she saw it. In addition, she had no appetite, and she was already six or seven full after eating a plate of milk cakes, so she was too embarrassed to pick up the hibiscus cake now. He took the tea that Her Royal Highness had poured by hand, and slowly sipped it.
Qi Yang didn't care either, and continued to look at Lu Qipei with a smile, as if to make up for what he lacked these days.
Lu Qipei was uncomfortable, and her ears became more and more red, and the blush even began to spread to her fair cheeks. Until she finally couldn't bear Qi Yang's straightforward gaze and wanted to speak, but the carriage that was swaying forward stopped.
The driver reminded outside: "Your Highness, Cheng'en Street is here."
Only then did Qi Yang withdraw his gaze, and said solemnly as if nothing had happened: "We're here, let's go down and have a look together."
Lu Qipei put down the tea cup and nodded, not knowing what to say for a while, he got up and followed Qi Yang to the carriage.
The coachman had already put the bench next to the carriage, and Qi Yang stepped on the bench neatly and got out of the car without anyone helping him while holding the skirt. Then she put down her skirt and turned around, and reached out to Lu Qipei who was still in the carriage...
Seeing this, the driver on the side always felt that the roles of the two seemed to be reversed, and it was obvious that His Royal Highness was the one who should be helped out of the car.
In the car, Lu Qipei looked at the fair and slender hand, and pursed his lips even more tangled. She wanted to say no, but she couldn't say anything to reject Qi Yang's serious eyes. She just wanted everything to go with her, so in the end, with some helplessness, she handed over her hand.
Not daring to use that hand at all, Lu Qipei carefully got off the carriage, and when he wanted to let go, he realized that the hand holding her was not going to be released. Qi Yang held her with one hand, pointed at the mansion in front of him with the other, and said, "This is a mansion that the Ministry of Industry has chosen for me. The left and right mansions also live in imperial families. You can accompany me in to see what's inside."
Half of Lu Qipei's mind was in the hands of the two of them. She looked left and right as if she was a thief. Seeing that the street was quite deserted and no one was walking except the driver, she was a little relieved.
Not daring to let go of Qi Yang's hand, Lu Qipei nodded absently and said, "Okay, I'll accompany you."
Hearing this, Qi Yang pursed his lips and smiled deeper. He led Lu Qipei to the front of the mansion, and patted the door knocker twice with his own hands. The red door was quickly opened from the inside.
It was not the concierge who opened the door, but a small official from the Ministry of Industry, who was specially waiting here after learning that His Highness would come to see the mansion today.
It's just that the little official didn't expect that he waited here for a day, and it was not only Princess Qiyang who was waiting, but also the "man" that Princess Qiyang was holding. You know, this princess is not married yet, and she doesn't know the whole court. How many people are thinking about this marriage. Now it seems that someone has already come out on top. After all, even the Princess Mansion brought people to choose it, right
The little official saluted respectfully, and glanced at Lu Qipei's face with full of curiosity. Seeing that her face was as beautiful as a crown of jade, she couldn't help but praise her good looks. Seeing that she was wearing a sixth-grade official robe, she could only tell which family she was from.
It's a pity that after thinking about it, I didn't pull out such a character in my mind.
But if you think about it, you will be curious, but you can't delay what you should do. The little official just took a peek at Lu Qipei, then consciously stepped forward to lead the way, and introduced Her Royal Highness all the way.
In fact, there is nothing to say. The palaces and pavilions, pavilions and waterside pavilions, and mansions with regulations are probably not much different. The clerk took Qi Yang and the two for a walk, but didn't find anything new. Only there was a small peach blossom forest in the corner of the mansion. Now that the season was just about to bloom, they both stopped for a while. It's just that the peach blossom forest is not uncommon, and it is not difficult to transplant it, so it is not a reason to choose this place.
After the introduction, the clerk didn't stay much, and quickly resigned and left silently.
Qi Yang and Lu Qipei were standing in front of a waterside pavilion, and they could see the peach blossom forest in the distance, and the scenery was not bad. She was vaguely moved, and asked, "Apei, what do you think of this mansion?"
Lu Qipei was still thinking about the Princess Mansion in his previous life, which was also chosen by Qi Yang himself, so he must have preferred it, so he said, "This place is good. But didn't Your Highness say that the Ministry of Industry chose three mansions? The other two should also be looked at. watch."
This was also true, Qi Yang nodded, and glanced at the peach blossom forest again before leaving.
Originally, Qi Yang had no preference for peach blossoms, only the two met in the Qingshui Peach Blossom Forest in the previous life, and Qi Yang always went there. After staying for a long time, I watched a lot, and gradually I liked it, and I always thought that the person would come back on the peach blossom.
Up to now, my wish has been fulfilled, but after all, I have more ties with Peach Blossom...
The two then rushed to see the other two mansions before it got dark, and one of them happened to be the princess mansion chosen by Qi Yang in the previous life. Lu Qipei felt that Qi Yang should prefer this place, but the princess frowned in front of the door with a displeased expression on her face.
Of course Lu Qipei didn't know how many loneliness and hesitations Qi Yang was in this mansion, and how many people died in it - not only Lu Qicheng, who was killed by Her Royal Highness with a glass of poisonous wine, but even Qi Yang himself, didn't he die here in the end?
Therefore, for Qi Yang, this mansion is really not a good memory. If Lu Qipei said that he had to see three mansions before making a choice, she would not go there. In the end, it was just a hasty glance, and then he shook his head to express his dislike.
Qi Yang is a decisive person. After asking Lu Qipei and knowing that the other party has no preference, he simply settled on the place where there is a peach blossom forest.
The past and present seem to be different everywhere. Lu Qipei finally couldn't hold back, and asked privately, "Why did Your Highness choose this place? Is it just for the peach blossom forest in the mansion?"
Qi Yang's emotions were seen by Lu Qipei, how could Lu Qipei's abnormality be concealed from Qi Yang? She was vaguely aware of it, and she couldn't think of a reason. After listening to the question, she replied, "Yes, I prefer Peach Blossom, so I chose that mansion."
Does Your Highness like peach blossoms? How could she not know that there were no peach blossoms in the princess's house in the previous life!
Lu Qipei's eyes were even more puzzled, and Qi Yang didn't miss this emotion. There were all kinds of speculations in their hearts, but no matter what, they never imagined that the other party was the same as himself, and he was a newcomer.
I don't think about things that I can't figure out for a while, so I can't delay the time between the two of them. Seeing that the twilight was about to sink, Qi Yang also knew that he could not be delayed outside the palace, and could not help but have many regrets and reluctance to part.
The two boarded the carriage again, and ordered the coachman to send Lu Qipei back to the outside of the Hanlin Academy. Qi Yang said: "Today, I have troubled A Pei to accompany me on the run. I will treat you to dinner another day as a reward."
Lu Qipei didn't care, he waved his hand and said, "Your Highness is polite, there is no need for this."
Qi Yang looked at her even more helpless. God knows how many people wanted to invite her to a banquet, but she never went to the appointment. Now it was her who came to find an excuse to meet, but this person was so incomprehensible... Well, also a woman, Lu Qipei I have never understood the style, otherwise the two of them may not have missed it in their previous lives.
Seeing that Qi Yang looked at her quietly and didn't speak, Lu Qipei knew that he might have said the wrong thing no matter how sluggish he was. But she thought about it, but she didn't realize there was anything wrong with the answer. Could it be that he defied His Highness and made her angry for not giving face? But Qi Yang is not such a stingy person!
Lu Qipei was a little confused, and he looked so stupid that he couldn't get angry.
Fortunately, Qi Yang was still patient, and this patience was particularly sufficient when facing Lu Qipei. Not annoyed by her being slow now, he asked her again, "Does A Pei have any favorite flowers or things to decorate the mansion?"
Lu Qipei was thinking about other things at the moment, and after hearing the words, he replied, "It would be good to plant a few green bamboos in the courtyard."
Qi Yang took it down and decided to let the people from the Ministry of Industry plant a few trees outside the main hall.
During the conversation, the carriage also sent the person to the outside of the Hanlin Academy, but at this moment the sky was getting dark, and the outside of the Hanlin Academy was completely lonely.
Lu Qipei jumped out of the carriage consciously, but did not let Qi Yang send her back to the newly-built Lu Mansion. On the one hand, I am afraid that people who are interested will see the added calculation, and on the other hand, I am also afraid that the delay will be too late and Qi Yang will return to the palace.
After the carriage kicked away, Lu Qipei stood there and watched for a long time, and his mood calmed down a little.
The author has something to say: Lu Qipei (speaking from his heart): Your Highness, what is the meaning of this, and you have to ask me what I like to decorate when building the Princess Mansion
Qi Yang (of course): Of course it's to abduct you home!
