Xiao Mubai waited all afternoon and just as he left, Xia Chu and Xiao Zimu returned to the inn.
Jiao Shi met Xia Chu, bowed and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Mo left a message, saying that he would go back to the palace as soon as possible. If you come back, don't run around."
Xia Chu unconsciously smiled and nodded frequently. After a moment, he realized that the person in front of him was Jiao Shi, and the frequency of nodding stopped abruptly, which was a bit abrupt.
He touched his nose awkwardly and walked to his room, but Xiao Zimu called him from behind: "If nothing happens, Ah Chu, I want to take you somewhere."
"This, Mu Bai just said, he will tell me not to go out again later." Xia Chu seemed a little hesitant.
Xiao Zimu frowned slightly when he heard the title 'Mubai'. He just stayed in the palace for one night. Why did the relationship between Xia Chu and Xiao Mubai become so close
He looked at Xia Chu, who had his head lowered and kicked his feet, with a stunned look on his face. Xiao Zimu felt that something was wrong with him, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Xia Chu saw his stunned expression and stood silently, thinking that what he just said had disappointed him, and there was a layer of apology on his face: "Where are Zi Mu taking me?"
After Xiao Zimu heard this call, he immediately felt that what he cared about was really unreasonable. Now that the three of them were in the same spirit, they were naturally closer than others.
Therefore, he smiled warmly and said to Xia Chu, who looked apologetic: "Don't worry, Ah Chu. I just want to take you to the backyard of Mingxiang Garden."
When Xia Chu heard that he was going to the backyard, he naturally knew that Xiao Zimu planned to take him to see the bamboo forest he liked. With a bright smile on his face, he agreed.
When Xiao Zimu was taking Xia Chu through the backyard, he was seen by a member of the aristocratic family who came to play in Mingxiang Garden. When he returned to the front hall, he started shouting. It turned out that His Highness the Seventh Prince really lived in the inn next door, which caused a lot of noise. There was a lot of excitement, and they all looked for Shi Zhongfei together, saying that no matter how much money they spent, they wanted to stay in the inn for one night.
The noisy Shi Zhongfei had a headache, so he said, "Everyone should hurry up when the inn is officially open for business," and fled.
Xiao Zimu and Xia Chu obviously knew nothing about it, and they walked over leisurely. Xiao Zimu saw that he was walking side by side with him all the way, without any need to give directions, and he came to the bamboo forest with ease. He couldn't help but He asked: "A Chu has been here too?"
Xia Chu touched his nose, thinking that he was always too relaxed in front of Xiao Zimu, so he replied as if unintentionally: "Having been here once, this backyard is only as elegant as this bamboo forest."
Xiao Zimu stood in front of the bamboo forest and nodded in agreement: "I don't know who Mr. Bingwen's friend is. I still want to make some friends."
When Xia Chu originally asked Bingwen to plant this bamboo forest, he also planned to tell Xiao Zimu that this was a gift to him in the future, and he never thought of hiding it.
But now, he and Xiao Mubai made their engagement privately last night. On next year's birthday, he would eventually return to being a daughter, and he didn't want to cause Xiao Zimu's misunderstanding in the future.
Therefore, when Xia Chu looked at this bamboo forest, he just sighed: "Bingwen said that this friend of his always likes to wander around, and he is afraid that he will never come back."
Xiao Zimu was slightly startled, with a look of regret on his face.
At this time, Jiao Shi trotted all the way over: "Little Marquis, His Highness King Mo is back and is looking for you."
Xia Chu nodded and looked at Xiao Zimu. Xiao Zimu suppressed the disappointment in his heart, looked at the approaching night, and smiled at Xia Chu: "Then let's go back."
Xia Chu said "Okay" and walked back side by side with Xiao Zimu. On the way, he happened to bump into three people exiting from the back door.
It was getting late at night, and when we got closer, we could see clearly that it was Bingwen, Xu Wenlan and Lan Yuying.
Dandian in Lan Yuying's arms had already smelled Xia Chu's scent, and immediately jumped out of her arms and threw herself into Xia Chu's arms.
Bingwen followed the figure and saw Xia Chu coming over, and bowed to Xiao Zimu.
"The two of them are poetry and painting, what are you mixing in?" Xia Chu stroked the smooth fur in her arms and teased Bingwen beside her, which made Lan Yuying squeak: "What are you talking about. "
Xia Chu looked at the shy Lan Yuying with a smile: "It's already dark, Lan Lan can take off her veil."
Xia Chu deliberately called "Lanlan" after Xu Wenlan, which made Lan Yuying stomp her feet angrily, but Xu Wenlan also added next to him: "Lanlan, let's ignore him and go back to eat."
Lan Yuying glared at him when he heard this, turned around and left, leaving Xu Wenlan stunned for a moment and then chased after him: "Lanlan, what's wrong with you? Lanlan?"
Bingwen looked at Xu Wenlan chasing after him and shook his head helplessly: "Do you think I want to see them having sex with each other?"
Xu Wenlan happened to hear this, and he turned around and said, "Don't think I don't know that you go to Yixiang Tower every night to have a tryst with Miss Xianli."
After Xu Wenlan said this, he really ran away without a trace.
Xia Chu naturally knew what Bingwen was doing and didn't care.
Xiao Zimu was curious after hearing this, with a smile on his face: "But that girl Xianli who danced in the capital?"
Bingwen walked and replied: "Even His Highness Seventh Prince knows about it."
"The reputation spread far and wide, and there was a lot of talk in the streets. I heard that although Miss Xianli is as beautiful as a flower, she never serves others with sex. It is a great blessing for Mr. Bingwen to be favored." If he had lived in a deep palace in the past, that would be it. Now that I live in an inn, I can always hear people talking on the way to court. It’s really hard not to know.
Bingwen could only laugh twice in embarrassment and did not explain any more. Now his reputation as a romantic young man was probably even higher than that of Xu Wenlan.
The three of them walked into the front hall of the inn. Xia Chu did not expect that the person who stepped forward to greet him was not Xiao Mubai, but Su Qianle.
Su Qianle had just seen Xu Wenlan chasing Lan Yuying back. Hearing that Xia Chu was walking behind, she had already stood waiting at the door. When she saw him entering the inn, she went up to him with a rather sad expression: "Continuing I haven’t spoken to the young master for two days.”
After hearing this, Xiao Zimu and Bingwen looked at each other and smiled. Naturally, they stepped aside and took the first step to sit down.
Xiao Mubai also walked down the stairs and walked to his original seat.
Xia Chu's face was startled, and his eyes followed Xiao Mubai's polite reply: "I've been really busy recently."
But this move was seen in Su Qianle's eyes. Xia Chu's eyes seemed to be looking at Lan Yuying. She wrung the handkerchief on her hand: "I know the young master is busy, but I cook the soup for the young master every day. Just remember to eat.”
"Okay." Xia Chu quickly agreed, turned to look at Lan Yuying in the dining room, and chased after her: "Lan Lan, why are you really angry?"
