When Si Jingzhe returned to the inn, he was relieved to see that there were no candles in the room. Big brother should not have come back.
Si Jingzhe pushed open the door and crept in. Suddenly someone spoke in the dark room: "where are you going if you don't stay in the room so late?"
The sudden sound startled Si Jingzhe. Seeing the boat, he waved his big hand and lit the candles in the room. For a moment, the lights were bright. Si Jingzhe was not used to it, so he had to raise his hand to cover his eyes.
"Big brother." Si Jingzhe said secretly. I don't know if he bumped into any god today. How could he be so unlucky that he was hit by big brother.
Si Jianzhou's slender fingers gently clasped the table, and the sound seemed to knock on Si Jingzhe's heart, which made him panic.
"Just be honest. What good can you do with your night clothes in the middle of the night?"
Si Jianzhou's sharp eyes seemed to penetrate Si Jingzhe. Si Jingzhe closed his lips and didn't say anything.
The smelly boy dared to play with himself. Si Jianzhou said faintly, "since you don't want to open your mouth, let me guess. You won't go out to enjoy the moon because the moon is so good tonight?"
Si Jingzhe nodded fiercely: "yes, I just went out to enjoy the moon."
Seeing the boat, the secretary looked awe inspiring and glanced gently in someone's direction. Someone immediately shrunk his neck and didn't even dare to breathe.
"You also need to wear night clothes to enjoy the moon? I don't know when you got this hobby. Or did you go to other places, such as Prince Rui's house, instead of going out to enjoy the moon?"
Si Jingzhe had no choice but to hang his head. Ji Qingxue was really impressed by the woman. As expected, nothing could be concealed from her brother.
"Elder brother, I just went to have a look. I didn't do anything else." Si Jingzhe also tried to explain to himself, hoping that elder brother could get off lightly.
Si Jianzhou slapped the table ruthlessly: "nonsense! I told you to stay in your room. Where are you going? You have to go to Nari palace?"
Si Jingzhe, who was not afraid of anything, was afraid that his eldest brother would lose his temper. He hurriedly said, "eldest brother, I really didn't do anything. I just went to have a look. I just wanted to know what a person who can get the evaluation of eldest brother is like on weekdays."
"How about your confirmation?" Si Jianzhou asked him out of guard.
Si Jingzhe stopped talking. Seeing him like this, he knew that he must have suffered a loss in King Rui's house, otherwise he would never be so silent.
"I told you not to listen. Now I'm at a loss and feel uncomfortable?"
His younger brother always does things according to his will. It's better to let him suffer some losses, so that he won't learn to act steadily and will suffer a big loss sooner or later.
Si Jingzhe knew that nothing could be concealed from him, so he had to sit down and say dejectedly, "elder brother, that woman is really not simple. I was found not long after I arrived at the palace. I accidentally broke into her room, and she saved me."
Si Jianzhou thought, "she saved you?"
"Well, he said it was a favor for you."
Si Jianzhou knows that Ji Qingxue should have found the identity of Jingzhe, so he didn't hand him over. It seems that what he said to her in the daytime has worked. Although she didn't believe it all, she had some sense of precaution in her heart.
"And eldest brother, this woman is really powerful. She guessed our identity as Qi people only by the calluses on my index finger. How could she know? It's too hasty just by this feature."
Seeing the boat, Si shook his head reluctantly: "silly brother, this is enough. People in the state of Qi are good at crossbows and arrows, and their index finger is really stronger than ordinary people. Moreover, she should not have told you that there is another reason."
"What?" Si Jingzhe didn't understand.
Si Jianzhou raised his finger and pointed to his night clothes: "the cloth of your night clothes is only available in the state of Qi. Won't she know such an obvious thing?"
I see. No wonder she's always staring at her clothes. If it hadn't been for the big brother's words, he would have thought she was interested in the style of her night clothes.
"What should we do next?" Si Jingzhe learned a lesson this time. I'm afraid he will live in peace for a few days.
Si Jianzhou just said faintly, "it's time to officially meet them in a few days."
Si Jianzhou added some look of expectation to his eyes. Nangong Yanji Qingxue, I would like to know how you will react at that time.
Five days later.
Nangongyan was ordered to receive the envoys of the state of Qi in the four different pavilions in the city, receive them and arrange the next trip for them.
"It seems that the emperor of Dayan really attached great importance to the exchange between the two countries. It's a great honor for us to send King Rui to meet us in person." an official laughed loudly. "We had been thunderous about King Rui's name as early as the state of Qi. It's really extraordinary at first sight today."
Nangong Yan replied lightly, "the envoy is polite."
Nangong Yan raised his wine glass and swept the officials present: "I welcome all envoys instead of my father and the whole people of Dayan. I will do my best first."
Everyone raised their glasses and drank together. At this time, two people walked slowly into the hall.
"Prince Rui, we meet again."
Nangong Yan put down his glass and looked a little subtle: "who are you?"
At this time, an official suddenly stood up and said, "Lord Rui, these two are also the accompanying officials of our envoy Dayan, but they are not on the list."
"Oh? Really?" Nangong Yan raised his eyebrows. It seems that these two people really have a purpose, but they never thought that they were envoys of the state of Qi.
"Please sit down. You'll be at home when you get here. Don't be polite." Nangong Yan motioned the next servant to pour wine for them.
"This is the second time we've met. I don't know your names yet?"
"Si Jianzhou, this is my brother's awakening." Si Jianzhou answered faintly, and there was a noble spirit in his eyebrows.
"See brother Zhou, come and drink to our fate."
Nangong Yan's words clearly meant something. The envoys present didn't understand. Si Jianzhou was very clear.
Si Jianzhou raised his glass and faced him from afar: "then this cup is to honor fate."
The two men looked up and drank. Nangong Yan said to him politely, "I don't know why I always feel like seeing brother Zhou at first sight. If you are free, you can go to the king's house and have a drink. How about talking about this wonderful fate?"
The Secretary nodded when he saw the boat: "thank you for your kind invitation. I have this intention."
