Chapter 178: Keep a Low Profile
?
Tomorrow, Xu Qi'an will leave the capital and go to Yunzhou. He will leave the government office and go home to prepare for the ceremony.
In order to conceal his identity, he only put valuable items in a small jade mirror, such as silver, gold, and banknotes...
Then he told his aunt and sister that he was going to Yunzhou with the governor.
Xu Qi'an has never left the capital since he was a child. Even his aunt couldn't help but show concern and told him to bring everything with him. In addition to silver, clothes are the most important.
"I heard that Yunzhou has a lot of miasma and it rains all year round. You should bring some detoxification pills and dehumidifying ointments... Xu Ningyan, I'm talking to you." Aunt slapped the table.
"I know, I know." Xu Qi'an was annoyed by her and said unhappily: "You don't need to tell me, I just came to let you know."
I was a southerner in my previous life, and I endured magic attacks all year round. I relied on my righteousness to keep warm. What's the point of the cold and dampness in the south... Xu Qi'an muttered in his heart.
Jiaofangsi, Yingmei Pavilion.
The rocking sound slowly stopped. Xu Qi'an supported his arms and looked at the blushing beauty under him, "I will leave the capital tomorrow and go to Yunzhou. It will probably take a long time to come back."
When Fuxiang heard this, her two big white legs immediately clamped around his waist, and she said worriedly: "I heard that Yunzhou is in a serious bandit situation and it's very dangerous."
"No matter how dangerous it is, it's still the court." Xu Qi'an pinched her soft face and signaled not to worry.
"You haven't been here for a long time, and you talk about this as soon as you come." Fuxiang said resentfully.
"I'm afraid of tiring the beauty, not neglecting you." Xu Qi'an said.
The two talked for a while, and the squeak sound rang again.
.....
After leaving the Jiaofangsi, Xu Qi'an went to the Star Observation Tower again and told Chu Caiwei that he was going to Yunzhou.
After hearing this, the yellow-skirted beauty was very moved and said that she also wanted to go. But because the chicken essence is still being improved and refined, it will be promoted in the future, and then take the opportunity to be promoted to the sixth rank, so she can't leave the capital.
This trip will definitely bring a sorcerer. Xu Qi'an came here out of selfishness. He wanted to take Chu Caiwei with him on a business trip, just as a trip.
Many men and women with ambiguous relationships travel together and get pregnant while traveling.
Unable to take Chu Caiwei with him, Xu Qi'an took away the chicken essence she had worked so hard to extract. The oval-faced yellow-skirted beauty chased out of the Star Observation Tower in anger, and shouted at Xu Qi'an's back as he rode his horse wildly: "Xu Ningyan, you bastard."
Then, he went to the palace to meet Princess Huaiqing. As an ally of the princess, he should report his itinerary and talk to the smart princess about the situation in Yunzhou and ask for her advice.
The guard brought back the princess's reply: "The princess doesn't want to see you, please go back."
Hmm? Don't want to see me? Didn't we have a good chat yesterday? I should have made Huaiqing value me more after what I did yesterday... Xu Qi'an left confused.
Cruelly rejected by his sister, Xu Qi'an turned around and went to find his sister with a round face and charming and affectionate.
Lin'an is not in the palace, but in Lin'an Mansion in the imperial city.
"Bian Bian has strong execution ability." Xu Qi'an immediately went to Princess Lin'an's Mansion.
He can enter and exit the imperial city with Bian Bian's waist jade, but he can't enter the palace. It's better that Lin'an is not in the palace.
Not long after, he came to the outside of Lin'an's mansion, and after the guards passed the message, he entered the mansion.
Xu Qi'an walked along the way and looked at the garden, the attic, Xiao Xie, and even the stage for singing operas. She thought that she was worthy of being the emperor's favorite daughter, so magnificent.
Bian Bian was very happy to hear that Xu Qi'an was visiting. She sat in the pavilion and said with a smile: "I am indeed much freer after leaving the palace, but it's too boring to live in the palace. It's better to live in the palace."
Her subtext was obvious: How do you plan to play?
I'm not here to play, I'm here to say goodbye... Xu Qi'an said: "I will leave Beijing tomorrow and go to Yunzhou. It will take a long time to come back. Thinking of the appointment with the princess tomorrow, I came to say goodbye."
When Lin'an heard this, his face fell immediately and he looked at him disappointedly.
Then, wouldn't it be futile for her to return to the princess's mansion to live. Her mother allowed her to live outside for three days at most. She was secretly excited in her heart, thinking that this little Tongluo would take her to the inner city to play.
"Then I will take my leave." Xu Qian'an turned and left. After walking a few steps, he could not help but look back.
Lin'an sat in the pavilion, with the desolate garden in the background. She was dressed in red, charming and beautiful, but lonely.
So annoying... He complained in his heart, turned around and walked back.
Lin'an's peach blossom eyes suddenly sparkled, staring at him mistily, without saying a word.
"Does the princess like playing chess?"
"No."
"Why?"
"Because it's troublesome."
Is it because of stupidity... Xu Qian'an said: "I have a new way to play, the princess can try it, if you are bored, you can also play with the palace maids."
Lin'an pouted, a little disappointed: "That's it?"
Just don't be so fragrant later. Xu Qian'an summoned the palace maid and asked her to bring the chessboard and set it on the stone table in the pavilion.
"Second Princess, the chess I'm going to teach you is called Gobang. It doesn't have so many rules and techniques. It's very simple. No matter whether it's vertical, horizontal or diagonal,
whoever connects the five chess pieces first wins."
"It's so simple, it's even more boring." Lin'an shook his head.
"Don't worry, let's play a game first." Xu Qi'an was calm.
"Okay."
Lin'an picked up a chess piece and "slapped" it in the middle of the chessboard, raising his
snow-white chin towards Xu Qi'an.
Xu Qi'an randomly placed the pieces.
As they played, Bian Bian began to devote herself to it. The two of them placed the pieces quickly, and with the sound of clacking, Xu Qi'an won a game.
"Come on, come on!" Bian Bian kicked her feet, and her red skirt swayed.
The second game, the third game, the fourth game... Bian Bian kept losing, but she became more and more energetic, and her peach blossom eyes became more and more focused. She was surprised to find that this kind of chess was obviously very simple, with only a few fancy moves, but for some reason, it was countless times more interesting than normal chess. It makes people unable to help but get into it.
Losing again and again, wanting to continue playing again and again, burning with a strong
fighting spirit.
At the same time, she had an illusion that she was a Go master, moving the pieces like flying,
killing each other.
In the end, Xu Qiyan deliberately gave her a piece and put together a five-star chain.
"Win!" Bian Bian cheered happily.
Xu Qiyan smiled, with a gesture of mastery.
If Princess Huaiqing played Gobang, she would get tired of it within a quarter of an hour and
sneer at it because it was too simple.
But for a stupid girl like Lin'an, Gobang is an extremely interesting game, and simple games
can also gain huge traffic. Xu Qiyan was once addicted to small games, such as Pick, Connect,
2048, etc.
Playing for several hours, the brain kept telling herself: Can't play anymore, can't play
anymore...
But the body is very honest.
"Xu Ningyan, you are really amazing." Lin'an's green jade fingers fiddled with the chessboard, "You can write poems and have so many interesting little things.
"By the way, have you figured out the first half of the poem?"
Xu Qian'an shook his head.
"After getting drunk, I don't know that the sky is in the water, and the boat is full of clear
dreams that press down the stars." Princess Lin'an stopped asking and whispered this half of
the poem:
"It's so beautiful, I also want to lie on the boat one day, looking at the stars in the sky, and there are stars around me. I hope I will be free at that time."
At this time, she is not Bian Bian, she is a girl with innocence and childishness. "Second Princess, did you tell the eldest princess about the chicken essence I gave you?" Xu
Qian'an asked suddenly.
"No." Lin'an blinked her charming and affectionate eyes, and she suddenly changed from the childish girl Lin'an to the little queen of the nightclub Bian Bian.
"Oh! "Xu Qiyan didn't ask any more questions. He looked at the sky and found that it was
dusk. The imperial city was closed and he couldn't leave.
Because the patrol of the imperial city was the job of the silver gongs, his waist badge could not be used, and the same was true for Princess Lin'an's waist jade.
The curfew in the imperial city was very strict. It was difficult to get the court's certificate
itself, and the certificate was usually applied for a few days in advance and could not be
written and used immediately. Besides, the government offices in the imperial city had long
been disbanded.
....
Xu Qiyan naturally stayed in Lin'an Mansion. At dusk, Xu Qiyan strolled around the princess's mansion and found a large pond in the back garden of the princess's mansion.
There was a black-sailed boat moored by the pond.
"Hehe, she kept muttering about lying on the boat to watch the stars. She had the right time
and place, but she just kept muttering... Young people nowadays are always the king of strong words and lack practical ability."
Xu Qiyan left calmly, and when Bian Bian hosted a banquet for him, he suggested: "Your Highness, let's change the place to eat. "
The princess' eyes lit up, and without asking any more questions, she followed his instructions and ordered the maids to carry the small table and dishes to the back garden and board the black-sailed boat.
After setting up the small table and lighting the charcoal fire, the black-sailed boat could not
accommodate any extra people, so the maids could only watch from the shore, looking at each other with some sorrow.
The princess and this man were getting a little close. It didn't matter what happened during
the day, but meeting in the pool at night was inappropriate in terms of both emotion and
etiquette. Lin'an drank a few glasses of wine, his face flushed: "I haven't tried to eat in a boat yet."
In the candlelight, her face was as gentle as a flawless jade, and her peach blossom eyes were charming. She was obviously a beautiful classical beauty, but Xu Qiyan changed her clothes in his mind, and imagined a nightclub queen wearing a red T-shirt, a little bear on her chest, a
pair of denim shorts, white sneakers, long and straight legs, and wavy curls.
Night fell, and the crescent moon was hanging high.
Xu Qiyan suddenly said: "Lie down."
Bian Bian was stunned for a moment, and her heart moved slightly. Without thinking, she
stepped back...
"Ouch."
Her head hit the board of the boat, and she screamed in pain, but soon froze. In the night sky, there was a crescent moon, dotted with sparse stars, flashing lonely light.
The water surface was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the crescent moon and stars. "After getting drunk, I didn't know that the sky was in the water, and the whole boat was full
of clear dreams pressing down on the galaxy. "Xu Qian'an whispered.
She stared at the stars in the sky with a dazed look in her eyes. Xu Qian'an was looking at her.
Her snow-white jawline was graceful, her nose was upturned, and her cherry mouth was slightly open.
Girls like her were naturally charming, and their posture after being slightly drunk was simply
alluring. "There are too few stars. I want to see the Milky Way. I want to see the Milky Way. "She lay on
the deck, twisted her waist, and acted like a spoiled child unconsciously.
There are many stars today, but they cannot be compared with the "Star River". That will have
to wait until summer.
"It's great..." She continued to murmur in a low voice.
....
Stargazing Tower, Bagua Terrace.
Standing on the edge of Bagua Terrace, the supervisor who was observing the night sky, his
ears moved.
A few seconds later, the array pattern lit up, and a figure in white standing with his hands
behind his back appeared, leisurely chanting:
"Holding tomorrow's picking..."
The voice suddenly got stuck halfway through, and the throat seemed to be pinched by an
invisible hand, and he couldn't spit out the follow-up content.
After a long time, Yang Qianhuan found that he could speak, and he was honest, "Teacher,
what do you want to talk to me about?"
The supervisor, who also had his back to him, said with fluttering white beard, "Go to
Yunzhou and watch..."
The second half of the sentence was a secret message.
The master and the apprentice had their backs to each other, and Yang Qianhuan asked
tentatively, "Go secretly?"
"Yes,"
"I see, what else do you want to tell me, teacher?"
"There are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Kyushu, and there are always higher
mountains. When you go out, you must be low-key and humble, don't say what you shouldn't
say, and don't do what you shouldn't do."
"Teacher, please explain it clearly."
"Be low-key, don't say that sentence everywhere, or you will get beaten."
"Okay, teacher."
