Wishful Things

"It's the second volume of "Fox Girl"."

"The next volume?" Aoi was overwhelmed with surprise: "Have you written it?"

She had read the first volume he wrote before, but her heart was very itchy, but she knew that he was busy, and he had to do more than just the errands of the waiter in the teahouse, so she never had the nerve to rush him.

Under such circumstances, I only told myself to secretly make up my mind that I would never read the book of such unwritten endings again.

Shou Ming nodded and said with a smile: "There are two more new stories, which are just halfway through."

new story?

Aoi's eyes are bright - she can!

Anyway, making up your mind is usually a way to regret it.

only……

The little maid thought about it for a moment, then put the box back into Shou Ming's hands cruelly: "I'm going on a long trip this time because I have a very important errand. I get confused when I read the script. You should keep it for me. I'll take it with you when I come back."

The girl said that her medical skills were fair, but she lacked a lot in toxicology, so she gave her two medical books and asked her to think about it along the way.

At this time, the script is a hindrance to her study, so she can't take it with her.

Seeing her solemn expression, Shou Ming also smiled and took it back, nodded and said: "It's because I didn't think carefully, then I will let you go first."

He was afraid that she would be bored on the road, so he stayed up for several nights to write it.

"If you have time... you might as well write the second half of the new story, so that I can enjoy it when I return to Beijing." Aoi seriously suggested.

Shou Ming nodded in agreement and grinned.

A new story can be written at once, but after the new story is written, there will be an updated story, and his story can never be finished.

When Xiao Qi came back from the outside, he immediately saw the two people looking at each other and smiling in the hall.

Xiao Qiquan, who was faintly aware of something, pretended he didn't see it, tried to minimize his presence like an invisible person, and went upstairs lightly and quickly.

"Young master."

Xiao Qi came to the window on the second floor, and after saluting, he said in a low voice: "My lord sent someone to send a message, please go to the Pingqing Hall to have a talk."

Wu Chao nodded slightly, subconsciously looked at Xu Mingyi who was sitting across from him, and asked warmly, "Would you like to go to Pingqing Pavilion for some snacks?"

I remember the last time she praised the almond cheese in Pingqing Pavilion——

Xu Mingyi shook his head with a smile and said, "I'll get tired of eating often, let's go again every two days."

King Yan's search for Wu Chao today may not be of any great importance, but she has already heard that in four or five days, King Yan and King Jing will leave Beijing and return to their fiefdoms - the matter of worshiping the ancestors and the case of King Xiang have already been delayed for a long time, and it is not a good thing to wait for a long time.

Therefore, King Yan probably wanted to say goodbye to Wu Chao today. It is inconvenient for her to disturb father and son saying goodbye.

However, Xiao Qi who was on the side said: "My lord made another statement, saying that if Miss Xu is with the young master, I would also like to invite Miss Xu to go with me."

Xu Mingyi was startled when he heard that.

How did the prince know that she was with Wu Chao?

Wu Chao coughed uncomfortably—probably because he stayed with Zhaozhao most of the time except for business, so there was nothing difficult to guess.

That being the case, Xu Mingyi followed Wu Chao to the Pingqing Pavilion.

When he got off the carriage, Xu Mingyi had already turned into a boy.

When he came to the hall, a familiar guy greeted him and invited him to the elegant room in the backyard familiarly.

After all, Wu Chao took the road of climbing over the wall, so he was faster than her. When she arrived, the father and son were sitting and having tea.

"The younger generation has seen the prince."

"There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be polite." King Yan smiled and stretched out his hand: "Miss Xu, please sit down."

After Xu Mingyi sat down, King Yan pushed a red lacquer carved plum blossom box in front of her, and said: "When I entered the palace today to pay my respects to the queen mother, she asked me to bring this thing to Miss Xu as a thank you gift for saving Miss Xu in the mausoleum.

Xu Mingyi nodded "Yes", she understood all these principles, but... Didn't the Empress Dowager give her a dowry bracelet before?

The box in front of her was carved with hollow patterns, she looked at it faintly, it seemed to be full of jewelry and other things, and it must be very valuable, she couldn't help but said: "The Empress Dowager is really too polite."

Yan Wang smiled and said nothing.

polite?

He felt that his mother was too impatient.

Next, King Yan and Wu Chao made some explanations in detail.

Hearing the words that he did not hide from himself, Xu Mingyi faintly felt a little discernment in his heart - he always felt that although the prince did not express it clearly, it seemed to reveal some kind of plan...

In this life, nothing happened to the Empress Dowager, or she will still be kept in Beijing as a hostage by the emperor.

But King Yan obviously still had an idea.

Thinking about it, this is the trend of the times. Some things are no longer a question of whether to do or not. It usually does not give people a choice, but people who are decisive often understand that the real way to survive is not to wait for nothing, but to break through by themselves—even if it is a sea of ​​swords and fire.

In the end, King Yan looked at the two children in front of him, and did not hide his thoughts at this time: "Even if we don't reach that step, but the current situation in the world is such that the mountains and rivers are already precarious. Even if it's just for self-protection, don't be unprepared."

Both Wu Chao and Xu Mingyi nodded seriously.

This is a frank reminder from the elders, and it is what they need to face in the future.

"Before I leave Beijing, I have one more thing to do." Yan Wang said: "I have already found out the specific residence of the old man back then. I need to meet him in person."

He had mentioned this before, that Wu Chao still had an impression—this person might know whether there was something strange behind the death of the second son of Shangshu at that time.

"How does the prince plan to meet?" Wu Chao asked.

"It's inappropriate for me to leave Beijing now, so I planned to secretly bring someone to meet in Beijing." King Yan said this, and looked at Xu Mingyi: "It's just that we need to say hello to Miss Xu first."

This is why he brought up the matter at this time.

Xu Mingyi's eyes moved: "Could it be that this person has something to do with my grandfather's family?"

I heard from the prince earlier that he is in Linyuan.

King Yan nodded with a smile—Miss Xu is very smart.

"According to the people under his command, this person has been working in a shop under the Yuanjia firm for these years."

He remembered that the Linyuan Yuanshi business name was the property of brother Xu's original wife's natal family.

And if he wanted to bring people into the city, he would definitely not agree to the direct invitation, just to be safe. To not disturb the people who shouldn't be disturbed, one has to use some means—that is... the meaning of taking people secretly.

Although it will not hurt the other party, but out of courtesy, it is still necessary to say hello to the future daughter-in-law.

Good evening, everybody.
