"Fourth Highness, although I will go back to the mountain to recuperate tomorrow morning, remember to deliver the contract to the Drinking House to the Marquis Mansion as early as possible."
"Little Marquis, how, how, how can you be so aggressive!"
Xiao Xuqing wanted to feel aggrieved for Xiao Yanjun, but after thinking about it for a long time, he realized that he was at fault. Therefore, he pointed at Xia Chu for being so aggressive for a long time.
Xia Chu snorted coldly.
"I dare to ask His Highness the Eighth Prince, if I were to lose tonight, would the Eighth Highness still point at the Fourth Highness and criticize him for being aggressive?"
"My fourth brother won't chase you for a restaurant."
"I'm just reminding His Highness the Fourth. I'm afraid that he won't be able to find me in a hurry to fulfill the bet and will panic."
"You!!" Xiao Xuqing was teased by Xia Chu and didn't know how to retort. He held his breath, blushed, and stared at him.
Xia Chu didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore, and didn't even look at Xiao Yanjun again. He faced the crowds of people and sighed heavily.
"If His Royal Highness is willing to gamble and refuse to admit defeat, naturally I can't say anything."
Xiao Mubai looked at Xia Chu, who was not far away. Under the bright lights, he put on a miserable posture, helpless to accept the bullying of the imperial power. The onlookers were so excited that they all supported him. What kind of interesting soul was wrapped in this elegant blue dress.
"Even His Highness the Fourth Highness cannot go back on his word..."
"Yeah, it's really disgraceful to the royal family."
"You don't want your life, that's a prince."
"Didn't I hear that His Highness the Fourth Prince has been a friendly and knowledgeable scholar since he was a child?"
"Tsk, that's all. It's just that the raw skin looks better."
Xiao Yanjun slowly woke up from the filthy words. It wasn't until this moment that he accepted the fact that he had lost. He never thought that Xia Chu would win, not even the slightest possibility.
He could figure out those word puzzles after a while. However, Xia Chu didn't leave him any time. No wonder, just now at the gate of the Hou Mansion. Xia Chu taunted him, saying that he just read more books. It turned out that he was really inferior to him.
Xiao Yanjun's heart was filled with embarrassment and confusion. His seventeen years of fame and glory were ruined by a small gamble. It was easily pulled from the unreachable world in the hearts of the people into the insignificant dust. Compared with the hard-to-buy drink restaurant, he was even more depressed about why such a young man had such an irresolvable hostility towards him. It was obvious that when they first met, he was very fond of her...
"Young Lord Marquis is joking. Drinking Weizhai will give it to Xiahou Mansion with both hands soon." After Xiao Yan finished, his expression returned to normal, he behaved appropriately and was neither humble nor humble.
Xia Chu had to admit, putting aside the personal hatred between them. Xiao Yanjun is indeed a talented person who can bend and stretch, but only for a moment. He had calmly endured the overwhelming humiliation, suppressed the turbulent anger in his heart, and even lowered his attitude and admitted defeat openly.
"That's great. Let's go down the mountain later. I have to invite His Highness the Fourth to come to my drinking room for a drink."
Xia Chuqiao smiled and chanted, but he still didn't forget it and touched his heart.
Xiao Yanjun laughed out loud, as he was born with the lotus lotus look. Now wearing a crescent-white robe, standing there. It is different from the depression when guessing riddles, and it is not like the calmness just now. A slight smile, graceful and noble Tsinghua University.
"I've made a note of it. Young Lord Marquis must never break his promise." Xiao Yanjun's eyes were filled with the light of the lights, with ripples in them, and he said jokingly to Xia Chu.
Xia Chu saw that the common people's breathing was obviously stagnant, and the sound of crusade had stopped abruptly when Xiao Yanjun spoke. He held his forehead and thought, having a good skin would be really useful.
"Of course." Xia Chu originally wanted to stab him, but she didn't expect him to agree.
"I'll take my leave now and wait for the young Marquis to return to the capital to drink wine and write a poem."
Xia Chu sneered inside, thinking that when I return to Beijing, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep at night. There was a look of indifference on his face and he nodded.
When Xiao Yanjun saw that he agreed, he turned around and dragged the embarrassed Xiao Xuqing away. When he was about four feet away, he suddenly stopped and looked back, asking suspiciously: "Little Marquis, have I offended you in any way?"
Xia Chu was looking at his leaving back. When he saw him turning around to ask, he turned away and sneered: "Your Highness, the Fourth Highness, was joking. Are we familiar?"
Xiao Yanjun was relieved and no longer annoyed. He felt that he was already used to Xia Chu's tit-for-tat confrontation. What he was afraid of was if Xia Chu became friendly and tried to trick him like he just did.
"I was rude."
As Xiao Yanjun left, everyone began to praise him again. It turned out that the young marquis was the most knowledgeable person in Xiao country.
Xu Wenlan watched a big show and was still unsatisfied. Thinking of the lantern he was still holding in his hand, he walked up to Xia Chu and said with a smile, "Why don't you guess the remaining three lanterns as well?"
Xia Chu had already lost interest and glanced at Xu Wenlan coldly.
He put the fox lantern in his hand back into the shop and said to the merchant, "Just take the four lanterns in their hands."
The vendor bent his waist, nodded his head and said with a flattering smile: "Okay, okay. Walk slowly."
Xu Wenlan couldn't see Xia Chu continue to guess riddles, but when he saw that he also left a musical instrument lantern for himself, he became heartlessly happy and invited everyone to walk and said, "Let's go and set off the sky lanterns."
"Okay, okay!" Xiao Muhong was the first to agree, not forgetting to look back at Xia Chu expectantly.
Xia Chu reached out and rubbed Xiao Muhong's head and said hello.
