Qi Huan followed behind him like a little tail into the house, "Brother is angry with Qi Xiaoya?" Qi Huan leaned forward slightly, staring straight at him.
"No." The candied haws in his hand didn't know where to put them, Bai Lanshi looked around, stopped when his eyes glanced at the white jade bottle, and inserted the candied haws into the empty bottle.
The texture of the white porcelain has a faint luster, reflecting the bright red hawthorn, which has the interest of plum blossoms.
Qi Huan, who followed him, picked up the candied hawthorn in the bottle, and bit down the first hawthorn despite Bailanshi's obstruction. The broken candy skin splashed out the sour juice inside, which was sour and sweet, with a strange taste.
Slightly curling his five fingers, he swallowed what he hadn't said just now. There were crumbs of rock sugar sticking to Qi Huan's lips, and Bai Lanshi moved his eyes uncomfortably. chaos.
The soft lips were brushed by the cold thumb, both of them were stunned, Qi Huan's eyes gradually showed surprise, and he even forgot to chew the things in his mouth.
Sitting down in the back room as if escaping, rubbing the still warm thumb with the hand hidden in the sleeve, Bai Lanshi felt very hot all over his body, and felt uncomfortable for the first time facing Qi Huan's gaze.
Bai Lanshi's actions were like throwing a hot iron ball into cold water, Qi Huan's blood boiled hot, his rationality took the lead, and he acted impulsively. It's not the time yet, the elder brother has to bring up the matter of feelings.
The ambiguous atmosphere was completely disturbed by the sudden opening of the door, Wu Qianqian walked quickly with a dark face, and sat down beside Bai Lanshi. Qi Xiaoya, who was following behind, walked closely and sat beside Qi Huan.
Obviously upset, "What's wrong? You're so angry." Bai Lanshi looked at the two of them and said.
"Please also ask His Royal Highness King Rui to bring the princess back. The dignified Princess Qi is not studying piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in the boudoir, but came over the wall." Wu Qianqian's voice was a little high, and she seemed to be annoyed.
Qi Xiaoya grabbed Qi Huan's arm indifferently, and said with a mischievous smile, "I'll follow my brother's example."
Just as the hand that was about to hold the cup trembled, Qi Huan glanced sharply at Qi Xiaoya, who shrank his neck and smiled flatteringly, but did not dare to speak.
It was Bai Lanshi who heard it and nodded, "His Royal Highness King Rui, as the elder brother, should set an example for his younger siblings."
"Brother, it's not that it's better to call me Qi Huan or Huan'er." Qi Huan acted like no one else, Bai Lanshi looked away uncomfortably, and Qi Xiaoya secretly admired it. Anyway, she dare not talk to Wu Qianqian like that.
Wu Qianqian on the side felt a chill, staring at the two brothers and sisters of the same species secretly having a headache. It's not just her who has a headache, Bai Lanshi also has nothing to do with this brother and sister, "Qi Huan."
Before he finished speaking, Qi Huan sternly said to Qi Xiaoya, "Hurry up and go back, don't make trouble in brother's house." He winked at Qi Xiaoya out of sight.
Qi Xiaoya pursed her mouth and looked at Wu Qianqian unhappy. In contrast, she was more afraid of the angry Qi Huan. She got up and straightened her skirt, and said unwillingly: "My princess will go back first, and I will come back next time."
After Qi Xiaoya left, Wu Qianqian looked at Qi Huan with warning eyes for a moment, Qi Huan was not afraid, and teased Bai Lanshi with a smile, and dangled in the air with the unfinished candied haws.
Wu Qianqian said, "Brother, Master decided to leave tomorrow."
"So anxious." Bai Lanshi frowned.
"Well, the master said that people should not be away from people for too long in the pavilion, for fear of trouble." Wu Qianqian delicately carried the teapot to make tea for her senior brother, and of course Qi Huan was also involved. After all, no matter how much you hate those two brothers and sisters, people are noble royals after all. A prince and a princess are both born of queens. With their status and dignity, Wu Qianqian generally does not dare to be too presumptuous.
"It doesn't matter if you go back, the capital is chaotic, and Xuanji Mountain, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, is not a place like a fairyland."
Since coming to the capital, all kinds of scenery and filth have been intertwined like a shadow, making people fix their minds that power and wealth must be linked to things that are not popular, resulting in a worsening atmosphere.
Xuanji Mountain is a land of spiritual treasures, with beautiful mountains and clear waters. It is located in a country that does not belong to Shanghe, and the dignitaries who pass by are not allowed to enter. The villagers living in it are all simple and unpretentious. They are grateful for the kindness of Xuanji Pavilion.
"Brother hates the capital?" Qi Huan said suddenly, Bai Lanshi thought for a moment, "It's not the capital that you hate, but the people living in it."
Qi Huan hurriedly asked, "Will my brother stay here alone?"
Wu Qianqian looked at Bai Lanshi with complicated eyes, and she also wanted to know how much an incomprehensible senior brother can do with someone he admires. Wu Qianqian knew in her heart that it was impossible for the senior brother to be sympathetic to Qi Huan's various performances.
But some love affairs are destined not to be linked with the Tian family, not to mention that Qi Huan is the second prince of Da Qi who wants to fight for the throne. If he fails, Xuanji Pavilion will definitely protect Qi Huan, and the two can stay together in Xuanji Pavilion for a lifetime.
But once he became the emperor, Qi Huan would attract the attention of thousands of people, and he would be blamed by the government and the public. Will Qi Huan be able to withstand the pressure
Qi Huan tried his best to conceal his tense emotions, staring at Bai Lanshi's face for a moment, trying to find out.
Bai Lanshi didn't think for too long, "Can't you take people away?"
"No." Qi Huan's voice was a little hurried, and Bai Lanshi asked caringly, "Are you all right?"
"Brother hasn't answered the question yet." Qi Huan said again, "No."
Bai Lanshi was a little startled by Qi Huan's reaction, and Wu Qianqian yelled, "Enough!"
Thinking that she had lost her composure, Wu Qianqian lowered her head and said, "Brother, I'm tired, let's go back and rest first." She got up and left without waiting for an answer.
Before leaving, Wu Qianqian glanced at Qi Huan, there was no disgust in her eyes, but a strong warning.
Qi Huan, who was sober for a moment, only felt that his back was wet and he was sweating profusely. What he did just now was too aggressive.
As time went by, Qi Huan felt more and more irrational about his brother's affairs, and sometimes even lost himself, completely dominated by the desire in his heart.
Unreasonable fear surrounded him, what if his brother was scared away by him? What if my brother feels sick
As soon as some thoughts pop up, it will involve things that are even more fearful in my heart.
The twisted and perverted possessive desire deep in his heart and the pain of not being able to love for many years have constantly catalyzed Qi Huan.
Engrossed by Qi Huan, he didn't even pay attention to Bai Lanshi when he came up to him. Bai Lanshi frowned slightly and looked at Qi Huan's painful expression, and gently pushed his shoulder.
"Qi Huan."
Qi Huan raised his head abruptly, his eyes were full of gloom that did not belong to a youthful temperament, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye, "What's wrong, brother?"
Bai Lanshi half-kneeled in front of Qi Huan, pursed his lips and remained silent, looking straight into Qi Huan's eyes with probing eyes.
Qi Huan only felt that his brother's eyes were like a sharp knife, which easily cut through all the disguises, and looked at his truest self nakedly.
Qi Huan clenched his fists nervously, thinking about how to justify himself, Bai Lanshi looked away, got up and returned to his seat to sit down.
"Your eyes are black and blue, pay attention to rest." The voice was so faint that Qi Huan couldn't figure it out.
"Brother." Qi Huan called out.
"Go back." After saying that, Bai Lanshi got up and walked into the back room. The screen blocked Qi Huan's sight.
The young man who was stunned in place took several deep breaths before suppressing the tyranny in his heart, and said to the back of the screen under his throat, "Brother, Huan'er is leaving first."
When the wooden door slammed shut, a thin figure came out from behind the screen, staring at the cup used by the boy in a daze.
The air pressure in Prince Rui's Mansion was low, and the servants in the mansion did not dare to vent their anger. They bent over with their tails between their legs and lowered their heads to do things, and they didn't even dare to talk to each other on weekdays.
Fuzi stood outside the bedroom door, sweating from anxiety, walking back and forth in front of the door.
The sound of things breaking and breaking could be heard continuously in the house, accompanied by endless silence. If the master made some noise inside, Fuzi would not be so afraid.
Trembling with his head spinning rapidly, Mr. Bai, the master has been like this since he came back from Mr. Bai, guessing what happened.
Fuzi didn't dare to invite Bai Lanshi rashly, so he had to lie on the crack of the door and look in. His sight was greatly restricted, and he couldn't see anything except the debris on the ground.
There was no sound in the room at night, it has been a whole day, Fuzi put the meal close to the door and whispered, "My lord, let's eat."
It was silent again, and there had been no sound of smashing things inside since the afternoon. It was estimated that everything that should have been smashed was smashed. The master didn't speak, and Fuzi didn't dare to push the door in without authorization, so he could only sit on the steps in front of the door and wait anxiously.
The next day, Bian Yujing went back to Xuanji Mountain, and Bai Lanshi only saw him off at the gate of the house.
Because of what happened yesterday, Bai Lanshi didn't sleep well at night, causing a dull pain in his head, and even a feeling of vomiting in his chest.
Bian Yujing looked at the dispirited apprentice, and said earnestly, "Lan Shi, don't let your lover down."
Bai Lanshi looked at Bian Yujing in a daze, not understanding why the master said that, frowned and waited to say something, but Bian Yujing didn't intend to say anything, and got up and got into the carriage.
The groom flicked his whip to drive the horses away, and a faint sigh came from the carriage and was blown away by the wind.
Qi Huan had never been to the Changqing Mansion for two days in a row, except that Bai Lanshi was ill and the Changqing Mansion closed its doors to thank guests, which had never happened before.
In the past few days, Bai Lanshi has been extremely restless at night, always feeling that something is going to happen.
Whenever he closed his eyes, Qi Huan's gloomy eyes appeared, Bai Lanshi didn't feel scared, he just thought about when this child became like this, and felt a little pain in his heart.
Coupled with the fact that Qi Huan didn't come back these few days, Bai Lanshi felt more and more that something was wrong, and everything he looked at felt that something was missing, and his eyes scanned the white porcelain vase where candied haws had been inserted.
The answer that was about to come out made Bai Lanshi frowned, thought for a moment, and got up to look for Wu Qianqian.
Wu Qianqian was lying on the table, holding a pink purse to look around, and only put it away when she saw Bai Lanshi.
"Is there something wrong, brother?" Wu Qianqian asked, looking at the solemn brother.
Bai Lanshi didn't meander, but asked straightforwardly, "Do I like Qi Huan?" There was a light of determination in his eyes.
The words of dissuasion reached his lips and he swallowed them back. This is the senior brother's own business. As a junior sister, he should not interfere too much.
Wu Qianqian shook her head, "Brother, you should know more about this matter."
