Xiao Qi said the birthday speech with the four of them, took the red envelope from Mrs. Anlehou, and got up.
"Xiao Qi, come here." Mrs. An Lehou called Xiao Qi alone.
"Godmother." Xiao Qi walked over with a smile, her face was slightly pale, and she couldn't see anything unusual if she didn't look carefully.
"Sit with the godmother at the birthday banquet." Mrs. An Lehou said with a smile, the more she looked at Xiao Qi, the more she liked it.
"Miss Seven really becomes more and more likable the more she looks at her. I don't know who will be lucky enough to marry her in the future." Madam Zuo Xiang joked with a smile.
Xiao Qi's cheeks were slightly red, what was her purpose for saying such words at this time, Xiao Qi remembered her voice, she was the first person to enter Tian Jie's room, which meant that she was involved in designing herself.
"Mrs. Zuo Xiang is too much, Xiao Qi's fate is doomed." Mrs. An Lehou replied without a trace.
"Haha, that's a good relationship, so you won't have to worry about it in the future." Mrs. Zuo Xiang smiled kindly, and there was nothing wrong with her tone, but Xiao Qi felt that there was something in her words.
"I heard that Miss Seven sang a song when the Zhaixing Building opened. I wonder if I'm lucky enough to hear her song today." Another lady said to Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi looked at Madam An Lehou.
Mrs. Anlehou nodded.
"I heard that Miss Luo is also good at melody. Mrs. Shang Shu has always taught Miss Luo well. I wonder if you have prepared a song for Mrs. Hou Ye today?" Mrs. Zuo Xiang asked a middle-aged woman diagonally across from her side.
The middle-aged woman frowned invisibly. She is the wife of the Minister of Rites and Luo Wanqing's biological mother. Luo Wanqing was not as good as Xiaoqi when she was in Biboyuan, but at that time they were all young ladies. The nobles are all there.
It's fine if you win, but if you lose, you will not only lose the face of your daughter's family, but also the face of Shang Shufu's family.
Originally, Mrs. Shang Shu didn't intend to let Luo Wanqing play when someone suggested that Mi Xiaoqi should sing, but Mrs. Zuo Xiang didn't want to let her go.
Xiao Qi frowned slightly, Madam Zuo Xiang had deep intentions, if she wins, she will trample the face of the Shangshu Mansion under her feet, if she loses, she will embarrass the Hou Mansion...
Mrs. Shang Shu was hesitating how to speak, Xiao Qi's eyes suddenly lit up, "Mrs Shang Shu, since Ms. Luo is here, why don't Xiao Qi and Ms. Luo discuss whether we can have a show together."
Mrs. Shangshu revealed a slight smile when she heard the words, "It's very good."
Xiao Qi didn't hesitate to step forward, and took Luo Wanqing's hand affectionately, "Miss Luo, let's go and discuss it."
Luo Wanqing is also a smart person, she also guessed eighty-nine percent of Mrs. Zuo Xiang's intentions, smiled kindly, and went to the side room with Xiao Qi.
Mrs. Zuo Xiang's eyes were slightly cold, she was really a pretty girl.
in the room.
"What song did Miss Luo prepare?" Xiao Qi asked with a smile.
"Actually, I didn't prepare, it's just that my mother wanted me to perform." Luo Wanqing said lightly.
The two are very close, and Xiao Qi can feel Luo Wanqing's helplessness. She is not a person who likes fame and fortune, and just wants to live a mediocre life, but because her talent in music was discovered by her mother, she had to fight for a talented girl. strive for the title.
"Why don't we play a song together, you play the piano, and I sing." Xiao Qi said slowly, feeling a little fond of Luo Wanqing, but after the Wei Ziyi incident, Xiao Qi obviously resisted the approach of these ladies .
"I don't know what song Seventh Girl wants to sing?" Luo Wanqing asked.
"This song is very simple. I'll hum it to you." Xiao Qi hummed and sang, Luo Wanqing was slightly stunned. Seventh girl is indeed a strange woman, and I have studied it carefully for so many years, and her occasional inspiration is not low. one time.
Not long after, the two walked out together.
"It seems that the two of you have done your research." Mrs. Zuo Xiang said with a smile.
"Yes." Xiaoqi and Luo Wanqing responded at the same time.
"Let's get started, Miss Luo, Xiao Qi." Mrs. An Lehou gave Xiao Qi a comforting smile.
The two nodded.
Luo Wanqing took out the piano, tested the sound, and the tune slowly sounded.
"The most romantic thing I can think of is growing old together with you, collecting a little bit of laughter along the way... the treasure in the palm of your hand..."
Xiao Qi's voice is very gentle and slowly singing, the most romantic thing seems to be telling everyone about the deep love between An Lehou and Mrs. An Lehou.
There were many ladies and ladies at the birthday banquet. The meaning of the lyrics made many people's eyes slightly moist. Everyone yearns for beautiful love, but not everyone will be accompanied by such love. Undoubtedly, Mrs. Anlehou is happy .
"Xiaoqi, you sing really well, and Ms. Luo plays the piano well." Mrs. An Lehou choked up slightly, holding Xiao Qi's hand and looking at An Lehou.
An Lehou chuckled lightly, warmly pampering her.
"Xiaoqi was also inspired by the love story of her godfather and godmother to come up with such lyrics. Ms. Luo is amazing, Xiaoqi can match the song with a few words by humming a few words." Xiaoqi said with a smile.
Luo Wanqing paused for a moment, with a touching smile on the corner of her lips, the melody and lyrics had nothing to do with her, but this seventh girl saved enough face for herself in front of others.
"It's rare that you and Ms. Luo cooperated so tacitly for the first time, and you will come and go frequently in the future." Mrs. An Lehou patted Xiao Qi's hand lightly, with great intentions.
Xiao Qi smiled and nodded.
The birthday banquet continued in an orderly manner, and Xiao Qi was a little tired after being severely injured.
"Godmother, Xiao Qi is feeling unwell and wants to go back first." Xiao Qi said in Madam An Lehou's ear.
"What's the matter?" Mrs. Anlehou asked concerned.
"Let godfather ask cousin tomorrow, you will know, just be happy today, everything will be dealt with tomorrow." Xiaoqi smiled mysteriously.
Mrs. An Lehou obediently let Xiao Qi leave.
Bai Tie followed Xiao Qi to protect her and left, and the two returned directly to the palace.
Mingyue Pavilion.
"Miss, you're back." Lu Luo didn't see Xiao Qi for a long time, she was thinking hard, and stepped forward a few steps, seeing that Xiao Qi's expression was clearly unkind.
"What's the matter, miss?"
"A little tired." Xiao Qi forced a smile.
"Servant, go prepare something to eat." Luluo said with concern.
"Okay, let's go." Xiao Qi leaned on the soft couch and fell asleep not long after.
Lu Luo had just prepared something to eat, and was about to enter the door when Bei Gongyan walked in.
"Come back later." Bei Gongyan dropped a sentence, and he entered the room. Seeing Xiaoqi's pale face and heartache, he always thought that he could protect her well, but every time he saw her hurt, he was powerless.
"Well, you're back?" Feeling someone watching, Xiao Qi slowly opened his eyes.
"It still hurts?"
"It's okay, I'm just a little tired, is there something wrong with Mrs. Zuo Xiang?" Xiao Qi asked.
"Yes, it stands to reason that Mrs. Zuo Xiang belongs to the eldest prince and does not deal with the queen. If Mrs. Zuo Xiang participates, it means that she has nothing to do with the queen." Bei Gongyan analyzed.
"Today's people obviously want to trap both me and Anlehou's mansion. Using this method to lure people over, everyone will make a fuss afterward, just like what happened to Bei Gongling back then. If the left prime minister, they can kill them directly. For me, framing is not even more irrefutable, but with this method, it is very difficult for the empress to get involved." Xiao Qi's eyes turned cold, and she analyzed.
Bei Gongyan's face became even colder, thinking of someone making a fuss about Xiao Qi's innocence, his teeth itch with hatred. "Regardless of the queen's affairs, she will not easily give up being our enemy, so I will not let them go."
"What are you going to do?" Xiao Qi asked.
"Remember that Mo Qi?" Bei Gongyan changed the topic.
"The man who kidnapped me?" Xiao Qi's eyes lit up, she remembered that the man was so smart, and his face would turn red when he spoke, which was very interesting.
"Are you very interested in him?" Bei Gongyan muffled.
Uh, cough cough, Xiao Qi coughed twice, "Isn't I short of people? You don't have to finish asking and you're ready to kill. What a pity, why don't you give it to me, and I'll let him have a wide world."
"He didn't say anything. He tried all the torture tools in the dungeons of the Three Princes' Mansion and still refused to say anything. But one of his two servant girls, Zhiqiu, couldn't help but say a little bit. Prime Minister Zuo has a secret organization. , They are all people trained by this organization, and the secret base of the organization hides the treasures Zuo Xiang has restrained over the years, and there is also a ledger, which records the corresponding matters related to Zuo Xiang. " Bei Gong Yan also took off his shoes and sat on the soft couch.
Xiao Qi lay directly in his arms, and the two of them were discussing the legendary state affairs in the most casual way.
"I'll try it, it might work." Xiao Qi blinked.
"You tell me first, what method you used against the current Li Mu, and I will let you interrogate him." Bei Gongyan finally asked the question he wanted to ask the most.
"Haha, Ah Yan, you have learned badly now, and you want to learn a few tricks from me after a long circle." Xiaoqi raised his hand and pinched Bei Gongyan's ear.
"Do I have any? If I have, I will learn from you." Bei Gongyan gently kissed Xiao Qi's forehead.
Xiaoqi was itchy, giggled, and laughed for a long time before opening his mouth, "Okay, let me tell you, that's what I told Li Mu at the time. I asked him if he was afraid of torture instruments or not, he didn't understand me. Just tell him that there are many death row prisoners in the dungeon. They don’t see the sun year after year. Many people’s hearts are distorted. They like men and women. If you don’t tell the truth, I’ll make you His martial arts were abolished, he was washed and not given clothes, and thrown into the dungeon... "
Xiao Qi was speaking proudly, when he looked up, he happened to see Bei Gongyan's face was gloomy, darker than Mo, he suddenly came back to his senses, covered his mouth in a hurry, and smiled awkwardly, "Well, I just want to scare him That's all..."
"Are you going to use this move to continue to deal with Mo Qi?" Bei Gongyan's voice was frozen, making Xiao Qi shiver.
"No, absolutely not. If the same trick is used too much, it will be boring. I won't." Xiao Qi hastily expressed his attitude.
"Hmph..." Bei Gongyan had a cold face.
"Ah Yan, you insisted on asking..." Xiao Qi had no choice but to get up and put a pair of small hands around Bei Gongyan's neck, and brought her not very rosy face closer.
"It makes sense." Bei Gongyan's voice was still firm, but his big hands had already clasped her waist, allowing her to sit comfortably in his arms.
"This time I will use my three-inch tongue to convince him!"
