Qi Huan witnessed everything from the side, and said with a smile: "My brother is so kind to Shuyan."

"Did I treat you badly?" Bai Lanshi straightened his sleeves and asked.

Qi Huan joked: "I remember when I was crying, my brother pressed my face in the pool to stop crying. I choked up a lot of water, but I didn't pat my back and coax me like today."

Bai Lanshi couldn't help laughing when he remembered what happened back then: "You still have the nerve to say it."

Back then, Bai Lanshi followed Bian Yujing into His Majesty's mansion as a guest, and Tong Yuwan was still a concubine and could only follow behind the princess. Qi Huan was only seven years old at that time, hiding behind Tong Yuwan and secretly staring at Bai Lanshi.

Fifteen-year-old Bai Lanshi is high-spirited and rebellious, with the corners of his clothes fluttering in the wind, carrying a long sword on his back like a god descending to earth. Seeing Bai Lanshi looking at him, Qi Huan's eyes disappeared from his smile, he jumped up and hugged his leg and called Brother Immortal, but he never let go. Bai Lanshi was pestered by Qi Huan almost all day long in the mansion, and even at night he had to kick his legs and crawl towards people.

The fairy boy received a sachet from the girl next door, Qi Huan lit the sachet in front of the girl, and burned it to a pile of ashes, causing the girl to cry.

Bai Lanshi asked Qi Huan to apologize, but the little child was also used to growing up in the palace, so he didn't open his neck. Bai Lanshi kicked Qi Huan's buttocks, but Qi Huan cried loudly , Bai Lanshi sat aside and watched Qi Huan cry. Unexpectedly, Qi Huan couldn't stop crying, and his head hurt from the noise.

Then he carried the man to the edge of the pool, stretched out his hand to press the back of the man's head, and hammered his face into the pool, finally calmed down, and only let go when he saw that the bubbles had stopped. Qi Huan, who came up to take a few breaths, burst into tears again. After repeated several times, Bai Lanshi asked him to cry, but he stopped crying, but the dinner that night was useless, and he drank water from the pool full.

"Do you know Shuyan's identity?" Bai Lanshi rubbed his cuffs.

Qi Huan smiled, "My brother must have found out."

"Shu Yan is the young master of the Li family in Jiangnan."

Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows, "Didn't the Li family be implicated in the nine clans because they colluded with foreign enemies in order to rebel? This child's life is upright."

Qi Huan looked at the handkerchief Bai Lanshi put on the table and said, "Brother, can you give me this handkerchief?" Then he reached out and took out his handkerchief and handed it to Bai Lanshi, smiling and said, "I'll take this with you." Can you change it, brother?"

Qi Huan didn't leave until he finished his dinner at Bailanshi. He got off the carriage when he passed the blacksmith's shop on the way, and the people inside quickly knelt down with their heads on the ground, not daring to raise their eyes. Qi Huan held the handkerchief between two fingers and threw it into the smelting iron furnace. Soon the handkerchief was engulfed by the flames. The red fire light revealed a expressionless face. Clap your hands and get on the carriage.

The emperor's birthday was the day Kang Wang entered Beijing. Qi Jing led a group of cavalry to disarm and enter the city at the gate of the imperial city. Li Jing was sent to pacify the Huns on the border two years ago, and he accumulated a lot of military exploits. The emperor loved his son very much.

Sure enough, one day before the birthday banquet, Bai Lanshi received a message that he would like to celebrate his birthday at Daming Palace tomorrow.

Lu Yan said: "My lord, you can think of a birthday present."

"It's enough for the prince and officials above the third rank to send it off. As a grassroots person, I shouldn't be able to do anything." Bai Lanshi said.

On the night of his birthday, Qi Huan originally wanted to take Bai Lanshi into the palace with him, but Bai Lanshi refused on the grounds that he should not be exposed in front of others.

The main hall is based on gold and black. On both sides of the hall, there are six thick pillars surrounded by two people. There are lifelike dragons carved on them, which are majestic and majestic.

The emperor and the empress sit at the highest point of the hall, the prince is on the side of the emperor, and the princess is on the side of the empress. Qi Jing, as the first prince, sat under the emperor, followed by the second prince Rui Wang Qi Huan, and the third prince Heng Qi Jingrui.

Of the unmarried princesses of Da Qi, only the queen's daughter, Qi Xiaoya, is fifteen years old. Bai Lanshi was arranged to sit under Qi Xiaoya, which was already the greatest courtesy His Majesty gave to a guest.

Bai Lanshi is wearing a dark green robe with a fairy air, and his high-twist hair highlights his fair and slender neck. He sits quietly with his eyes downcast. Those who came to celebrate his birthday all gasped when they saw Bai Lanshi Air-conditioning, I am afraid that people will turn into immortals in the next moment.

Bai Lanshi was facing Qi Huan, and every time he raised his eyes, he could see people smiling at him, which gave Bai Lanshi a headache, so he didn't look at people at all, and rubbed his cuffs in a daze.

Qi Xiaoya leaned over and whispered, "Mr. Bai."

Qi Xiaoya was wearing a tender pink gauze dress, her eyes were big, and she was very agile.

Bai Lanshi raised his eyes and looked at the sneaky Qi Xiaoya with a smile, Qi Xiaoya covered his heart and thought to himself, "Where is the evildoer!" After concentrating on it, he said, "Sir, how did you whiten it?"

Bai Lanshi was stunned, "It should be pale due to deficiency of Qi and blood."

Seeing the girl pursing her lips, she said: "No wonder Bai Cheng is like this." Bai Lanshi had never noticed his own appearance, so he couldn't help but asked with some doubts: "Is it very white?"

Seeing Bai Lanshi's confused look, Qi Xiaoya covered her mouth and laughed out loud, "Sir, do you know how white you are, how many girls in Beijing are jealous of this?"

Nowadays, the fashion in Beijing is to admire beautiful women with flawless white jade, willows with slender waist, and easy to handle, but it is not so easy to be white. These two are taken by the man Bai Lanshi, so it doesn't mean that he has provoked a lot of people. Teenage girls are jealous.

During the conversation, everyone had already sat down, and the eunuch presented a booklet, Qi Jing walked out of his seat and said, "Father and sons have been in the frontier for a long time without any rare treasures. But the people in the frontier fortress heard that the son returned to Beijing to celebrate his father's birthday, and they spontaneously gathered to write the birthday characters for the father, with their respective fingerprints printed under each birthday character. The son felt that this birthday gift reflected the father's love for the people. Son, I borrowed flowers to offer Buddha."

The emperor clapped his hands and laughed, looked at Tong Yuwan at the side, pointed at Qi Jing below and said, "This kid is just a trick." All the officials followed and praised the emperor for his benevolent governance.

"Since I'm back, I'm not in a hurry to go back. I will spend more time with your mother in Beijing." The emperor's words stirred up a thousand waves, and Bai Lanshi slightly curled his lips, fearing that the situation in the court would change again.

"Thank you, father."

I saw a group of dancers coming in, each with exotic styles, twisting the willow slender waist to the sound of silk and bamboo, and the snow-white arms were doubled in front of my eyes.

Bai Lanshi lowered his eyes when he saw the dancer girl for the first time, and only raised his eyes to look at Wei Wei in the middle. It was the first time that Wei Wei was dizzy seeing such beauties, blushing and only focused on drinking, which attracted a lot of attention. There came bursts of chuckles like silver bells.

The dancers asked their favorite men to pour wine for them. This was the happiest thing every time. Many people were eager to embrace the beauty. Of course, the three princes naturally leaned towards each other consciously. What surprised Bai Lanshi was that a dancer approached Wei Wei, but he refused.

Wei Ting was originally an excellent archer under the seat of General Meng Hong of the Qi State. He pierced Yang with a hundred steps. It is said that this person is so skilled in archery that he can shoot shrimps and crabs in the rushing water with a bow and arrow. Blindfolded, he can accurately shoot living creatures within a hundred steps. Meng Hong fought for the emperor.

Just when Bai Lanshi was slightly surprised, Qi Xiaoya whispered from the side, "Sir." Then Bai Lanshi looked back at the foreign girl holding a wine glass.

The emperor looked at Bai Lanshi and said with a smile, "Sir, I was frightened by the wildness of this foreign woman."

Bai Lanshi picked up the wine glass and drank it all with a smile: "I have heard that women from other races are full of pride and unrestrained, so I will not deceive me when I see you today."

There was a sound of guqin in the distance, and the dance stopped. A woman in Tsing Yi walked slowly into the hall holding the guqin, knelt down to salute, and then sat in front of the guqin. The plain hand plucked, and a quiet, long-lasting and mellow voice poured out from the girl's fingers. Wei Wei stared at the woman in Tsing Yi intently, even forgot to blink.

Seeing that Bai Lanshi's ears were red, Qi Xiaoya sat there blankly, and shouted softly, "Mister, are you drunk?" Seeing that Bai Lanshi turned his head slightly, his eyes were covered with water vapor, and his lips were wet. The sake of the mouth wine became more and more red, and there was a little more smoke and fire between the eyebrows.

Bai Lanshi stared blankly at Qi Xiaoya and suddenly smiled, bright and moving. Only now did Qi Xiaoya know why the goblins in the storybook liked weak scholars, who could bear it. Feeling a line of sight directed at her, Qi Xiaoya saw her second elder brother Qi Huan looking at her with rather unkind eyes, she was confused, she silently looked away, and focused on the sound of the piano without speaking.

At the end of the song, the emperor saw Wei Wei's expression and knew it. He gave Wei Wei a daughter because of his military achievements. This girl's name was Qin Zhu, and she was the adopted daughter of the palace musician Qin Wu. For the rest of my life.

When the woman thanked her, she raised her eyes to look at Wei Wei, and he knew that his life had been sunk in the woman's eyes.

After seeing His Majesty bestowing the marriage, Bai Lanshi was completely drunk, but his drunkenness was not like ordinary people shouting or falling asleep. Talking is no different from ordinary people.

At the end of the banquet, Qi Jing saw that Bai Lanshi was still sitting on his seat, so he got up and said, "Your name is Bai Lanshi." Bai Lanshi listened to the words of the person in front of him, pointed to his face, and said with a smile: "You're talking to me." Qi Jing was taken aback for a moment, then Bai Lanshi pursed his lips and thought seriously for a moment, then nodded heavily, obviously drunk.

Qi Jing was three years older than Qi Huan, and was born to the former empress, who adopted the name of Concubine Shu after the death of the former empress. Bai Lanshi had also met Qi Jing in the palace, but this child was introverted. He is not a proactive person and is always clinged to by Qi Huan, until Li Mansion did not bring Qi Jing to play a few times.

"I'll send you back, sir." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to help Bai Lanshi, but he heard Qi Huan say behind him: "Brother hasn't been back to Beijing for two years, why don't you go to accompany Concubine Shu?" Helped up.

Bai Lanshi stared at Qi Jing dazedly for a long while, then stared at Qi Jing for a moment, and said awkwardly, "Sir, what's on my face?" Bai Lanshi suddenly smiled, pointed at Qi Jing and said, "I know You, you are the kid who doesn't want to talk." Qi Huan pressed down Bai Lanshi's hand, and smiled at Qi Jing, "Brother is drunk, I'll just send him back. Brother, don't bother to run around day and night. It's gone." Saying that, he hurriedly slipped Bai Lanshi away, leaving only Qi Jing in the hall staring blankly.

Along the way, Bai Lanshi was very honest, following behind Qi Huan obediently, Qi Huan slowed down and walked side by side with Bai Lanshi. Rong Le waited outside and saw Bai Lanshi coming, and hurried forward to greet him, Bai Lanshi's face was rosy, and he knew that he had drunk, and said dissatisfiedly: "Young master, why are you drinking?"

Qi Huan stuffed him into the carriage and asked, "Can't brother drink?" Rong Le smiled and didn't answer. It took a while for Qi Huan to know what the smile meant.

Bai Lanshi walked out of the palace as if he had let go of his guard. He fumbled around in the hidden box of the carriage, sometimes he took out a small dart, and sometimes he could pull out a one-foot-long dagger, which scared Qi Huan repeatedly. Don't dare to make people move.

Taking advantage of the quiet time, Qi Huan asked cautiously: "What did brother say to Qi Xiaoya at the banquet?" Bai Lanshi rubbed Qi Huan's sleeves and said with an aggrieved face: "She said I was white, How can you say that the man is white?"

Seeing the cuteness of this person, Qi Huan stretched out his hand to touch Bai Lanshi's face tentatively. Seeing that there was no response, he stretched out his hand and squeezed it. It was soft to the touch, and he chased after the victory and asked, "Why does brother want to see Wei Wei?" Bai Lanshi squinted at Qi Huan, making the latter panic.

"Why did you keep staring at me at the banquet?" Bai Lanshi asked back.

Qi Huan averted his eyes and thought for a moment, then felt his shoulders sink. Bai Lanshi had already fallen asleep on his shoulders, and his hands were still pinching Qi Huan's cuffs and did not let go.

The breath mixed with the smell of wine hit the side of his neck, Qi Huan's rare half of his ears turned red, and he let others lean on him without daring to move.
