Chapter 196
"Chunxiang, how can you know what spring looks like when you don't go to the garden—" A clear and melodious chant sounded.

The audience applauded one after another.

Li Shishi's eyes widened, she really didn't expect to hear Kunqu Opera here.

Although she didn't understand these things, she couldn't help but look up when she heard the same things as in her own era.

Li Shishi couldn't help feeling a little moved when she saw the people on the stage wearing costumes embroidered with pink and white peony flowers, performing the joys and sorrows on the stage.

Gongsun tilted his eyes to look at Li Shishi and said in a low voice, "I didn't realize that you are interested in opera."

Li Shishi was startled, then smiled, and then said: "No, it's just that after hearing the same things as my hometown, it's inevitable that I will feel homesick."

Gongsun Qing nodded clearly, and then looked at the stage together.

After the song was over, real money was thrown onto the stage like rain.

The girl nodded and smiled one by one, thanking everyone present.

Li Shishi felt a little sleepy, so she called Gongsun Qing to go back.

Gongsun Qing didn't stay too long, got up and took the people back to the room.

After falling asleep with Li Shishi all the time, there was a knock on the door.

Gongsun Qing covered her with the quilt before getting up and leaving.

When he opened the door, Gongsun Qing was a little surprised to see that the other party was an unfamiliar face, and then asked, "Excuse me, are you..."

"My son is here to invite you."

Gongsun Qing stared blankly at the person in front of him, then smiled and said: "I don't even know who your son is, so why go to the appointment?"

The man dressed as a servant cupped his hands, and said without changing his face: "You will know when the prince is gone."

Gongsun Qing was startled for a moment, but soon lost his expression. He looked at the young man and said with a smile, "I'm afraid you misidentified me. I'm just an ordinary citizen."

"My lord was joking. The reason why this servant dares to address you like that is because of my reasons. I only bother you for a moment, so please do me a favor."

Gongsun Qing's eyes darkened, and then said: "Then lead the way."

"Please follow me." The boy said, leading the way, and Gongsun Qing followed him to the room where the son mentioned by the boy was.

As soon as he opened the door, Gongsun Qing saw the young master who was sitting on the side table making tea.

It was the man I had just met.

Seeing that Gongsun Qing was coming, he neither saluted nor got up, but pointed to his side and said, "My lord, please sit down."

Gongsun Qing smiled, and then said: "No, I just don't know why the young master asked me to come here?"

The young man in Xuanpao glanced at the servant beside him, and waved his hand lightly.

The servants left the room one after another.

When only the two of them were left in the room, the young master said, "My lord, I invite you here today to ask for something."

"Oh? But I don't know the name of the son."

"Xiao Ke's surname is Murong again."

"Murong?" Gongsun Qing raised his eyebrows: "This surname is rare in the Central Plains. This king only knows that the ruler of Qing'an Kingdom has the surname Murong again, so the son can't be the ruler."

"My lord was joking." Murong Xing smiled, and then said: "The lord is in Qing'an right now, how could he appear here? I'm nothing more than an unfavorable son of his."

Then he got up, coughed lightly, and cupped his hands in obeisance: "Xiao Ke Murong Xing, see the prince."

Gongsun Qing was startled for a moment, and then said: "My son doesn't need to be too polite, but I don't know why my son invited me here?"

"Ahem, my lord, please sit down." Murong Xing coughed lightly, and then asked Gongsun Qing to take his seat.

Gongsun Qing raised his eyebrows, and sat next to Murong Xing without refusing.

This Murong Xing was originally the third son of Qing'an Kingdom, he was weak and unfavorable since he was a child.

Now that King Qing'an is seriously ill, the other princes are eyeing up and want to seize the opportunity to seek power and usurp the throne.

Naturally, the same is true for Murong Xing.

The reason why he was looking for Gongsun Qing here was also to hope that he could catch Gongsun Qing's ability and help him ascend the throne.

The words were very euphemistic, but Gongsun Qing could understand.

But after all, he has no real power in his hands now, not to mention how many eyes are staring at him in this court, he will never participate in such a dangerous thing.

Even though Murong Xing exchanged three cities for Gongsun Qing's help, Gongsun Qing still politely rejected the proposal.

Murong Xing, who was rejected, did not show any displeasure. When Gongsun Qing was about to leave, he said: "I think the prince can think about it. Although the three cities don't seem to have much territory, for Qing'an, this is a big deal." The three cities are undoubtedly the lifeblood, if the prince is willing to agree, I think even if Nan Shu unites with Qing'an to attack the Great Zhou, it will be powerless. I think the prince must know the stakes."

Gongsun Qing smiled, did not answer his words, but got up and cupped his hands and said: "It's getting late, the son should rest earlier."

Walking to the door, Murong Xing said: "My lord, think twice. We will meet when we get to the capital. If your lord has thought about it then, you are welcome to find me."

Gongsun Qing didn't stop, opened the door and left.

It's just that he had just taken two steps when there was a rush of footsteps behind him, he originally wanted to dodge sideways, but he didn't expect the other party to stop behind him, and then said: "Mr. "

Gongsun Qing frowned, somewhat displeased.

Why did so many people look for him as soon as he boarded the boat?

Shishi was still in the room, he had to go and see, lest she wake up in a panic.

So he didn't stop, leaving only one sentence: "It's inconvenient to see guests."

He simply rejected the request of the person behind him.

Back in the room, the two children were sitting there eating the snacks they bought in Yunyang.

Gongsun Qing glanced at Li Shishi and saw that she was still asleep, so he asked Wanmiao: "Did your mother wake up after Dad left?"

Wanmiao nodded, and said vaguely: "Woke up once, threw up a lot, just fell asleep."

Gongsun Qing frowned slightly, then went to sit next to Li Shishi, held her hand, and looked at the fine sweat protruding from the tip of her nose.

Her complexion has always been bad, presumably because the little guy in her stomach has been tossing a lot.

Tossing like this at only three months old, I really don't know what kind of naughty child I will be when I grow up.

Gently wiping the sweat off her nose, Gongsun Qing sighed slightly.

Wanmiao stood up from the table, wiped her hands, walked to Gongsun Qing and looked at Li Shishi with him.

"Mother has never been like this before. Is she sick?"

"No." Gongsun Qing smiled: "It's very hard for Niang to be pregnant with a baby."

She gave a soft and clear oh, and then asked, "Have you chosen a good name for the baby?"

Gongsun Qing shook his head and said: "Not yet, after your mother wakes up, Dad will discuss it with her."
