Chapter 11 Chapter Eleven
Even if eunuchs like them don't have the ability of men, it doesn't prevent people like Mr. Fu from bringing these young girls like flowers into the back house.

Xiao Qi also knew that Marquis Dingyuan was the same, and the male favorite named Li Kong whom he hooked up with was highly valued.

As long as they have power and status, don't those healthy men also flatter the Patriarch in every possible way like women.

If eunuchs like them who were forced to castrate into the palace for various reasons are lowly, then are the able-bodied male favorites also lowly? Are those officials who bow down to the superiors with absolute power in order to climb up or survive? It's also cheap.

The self-esteem and self-esteem that had been cut off because of his physical incompleteness grew out of his blood and soul in another way.

It's all because of Wei Huai'en.Just because of her.

"Deputy Envoy Xiao, why are you still sitting?"

Feng Neishi who was sitting next to him was already lying on the waist of the maid, with one hand holding the wine glass on her jade arm, he raised a gesture to Xiao Qi.

"This is not in the palace, and there is no master who wants us to serve, no more, hiccup, tense."

The girl kneeling behind Xiao Qi gritted her teeth, took a step forward and pulled Xiao Qi's sleeve with a flattering smile.

"My lord, I will serve you the bar."

She had already lived like a walking corpse in this devil's lair, and she thought that this servant would humiliate her in every possible way.

But she didn't expect... Forget it, even if he really didn't have those perverted thoughts, if she still knelt behind and kept a distance from him, other servants would notice...

"No need."

Xiao Qi stood up, shook his robe, and left the banquet early.

Wei Huai'en is not in the East Palace today.

To be precise, the "Prince" was ill. Princess Jiarou invited her out of the palace to pray for her elder brother at the Huang'en Temple [-] miles outside the city.

In addition, the Empress's birthday will be less than three months away, so she will not return to the palace until the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Today she changed her princess status in person, went to bid farewell to Emperor Yonghe, went to the East Palace to visit the sick "Brother Prince", and then came to Huang'en Temple.

As Princess Jiarou, she is 15 years old this year, and it is only natural that marriage is put on the agenda.

It's not that she didn't think about how to solve this problem when she replaced the crown prince, but she didn't expect Hou Dingyuan to make such a quick move.

After Xuan Yusi found out several officials who were sitting in vegetarian meals, they couldn't wait, and let the queen who was helping the eldest princess Jiafu plan her wedding pull her along.

Do you think you can break them down one by one by separating them?dream.

Even if Wei Huaide sat in this position safe and sound, he would never allow his younger sister to be calculated by Duan Wang's faction even in her marriage.

Originally, she planned to postpone the marriage for a while, or make an appointment with any random family first, and then completely avenge "Wei Huai'en" to die early, so that she can go on as Wei Huaide without any worries.

It's a pity that the plan can't keep up with the changes. If she doesn't get Princess Jiarou out of the palace quickly, she will really become a fish in the net.

Don't say anything else, just say that the Queen and Jiafu want her to go to some poetry meeting or lake tour every three days, and she and Shui Jing almost reveal their secrets several times.

Thinking of the few days when he was in hiding, Wei Huai'en felt aggrieved to death.

There are so many secret letters on the desk, as well as the homework given by the Taifu, and the official documents that the emperor asked her to study hard, she wished that she had two brains, but she still had to work hard to deal with those bad things.

I'm so bored!
Let the "Prince" be sick for a few days first, she will take a breather in Huang'en Temple, and then take the opportunity to meet her uncle when she is out of the palace.

With Xiao Qi in Xuanyu's department, she can gradually master it in the court. As long as she finds a way to settle the engagement matter, she doesn't have to be restrained anymore, and she can focus on finding out Yuanhou.

There is a sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the courtyard of the meditation room of Huang'en Temple, and she will live in this room every time she comes to worship the Buddha.

There was no one in the night, and Shui Jing led the palace servants to live in the meditation room outside the small courtyard. She stood alone under the tree, looking up at the broken moon from among the lush branches and leaves.

Xiao Qi greeted the hidden guards on the outside, but he didn't want to attract unwarranted stares by passing the main entrance, so he walked around the wall and leaped lightly into Wei Huai'en's small courtyard.

With his back turned to him, Wei Huai'en was startled when he heard the noise behind him.

Fortunately, the moonlight was bright, and after she saw who was coming, she put down her hand covering her mouth and coughed embarrassingly.

"Why are you here? Is there any movement on the Marquis Dingyuan's side?"

"Yes, I learned that a concubine of Marquis Dingyuan is the doctor of Nanlin Mansion."

Xiao Qi respectfully reported the information detected today.

Business is a serious business, but my heart really wants to come here to see her.

It's not the first time he has done this kind of selfishness, and now he has become more and more comfortable, and even Wei Huai'en can't see if he still has the selfishness before.

If you want to lie to others, you have to find an excuse that even you believe in.Xiao Qi knows this well.

"Nanlin Mansion, sure enough."

There is a lot of miasma in the southern forest, and it has always been extremely poisonous.

She wants Xiao Qi to find out that Ding Yuanhou is not fake, but to find evidence to prove whether it is him or someone from Duan Wang's faction who is behind the scenes, she needs real evidence.

Fortunately, Xiao Qi did not disappoint her and found a truly valuable hidden thread.

"Then continue to catch it. By the way, where did this news come from, the boy you mentioned last time?"

"Yes."

"Why did this person betray Marquis Dingyuan?"

In a rare moment of leisure, Wei Huai'en sat on the stone bench under the tree, beckoned Xiao Qi to go over, and chatted with him.

"...Master is interested?"

Xiao Qi didn't answer right away, but stood in front of her with his lips pursed and his hands down, with a hesitant look on his face.

"Tell me, is there anything I can't hear?"

Wei Huai'en looked up at him, the moonlight was covered by the leaves a lot, and the tiny light fell on her eyebrows and eyes, but she didn't have the usual unfathomable appearance, it was rare that she was naive and purely suspicious.

"He...although he is Yan Weiguang's male favourite, but he loves Meng Keshu, the third lady of Yushi Zhongcheng's family."

"Really?"

That Meng Keshu was an old acquaintance of Wei Huai'en, and he had only met him during the lake tour a few days ago.

Censor Zhong Cheng Meng is an old-fashioned old man. He either impeached this or that at the court meeting. Every time he went to court, his beard was sprayed with saliva from his generous speeches.

But Miss Meng San is a tone idiot and has a soft temper. Although Wei Huai'en didn't have a chance to talk to her much, he did remember this girl who could make people's eyes stop at a glance.

But his mind, accustomed to plotting and plotting, only lingered on Miss Meng San's gentle face for a moment, and then turned to her useless brother.

Mrs. Meng has always been the object of Wei Huai'en's respect. Although since she became the prince, he has often pulled her sleeves and said that she was the one who set up the Xuanyu Division, but she also knows that the country's dynasty depends on such loyal and upright people to be peaceful.

It's a pity that Mr. Meng is dedicated to serving the country, but his son hangs around Fireworks Lane.

If it weren't for the strict family education, Mr. Meng might have slipped into prison long ago, instead of the prodigal son known all over the capital.

So is it because Mr. Meng was bought by Marquis Dingyuan, and he wanted to use him to hook up with Mr. Meng, so that the male favorite had the opportunity to meet Miss Meng San?
But it doesn't make sense, firstly, the Marquis of Dingyuan and Mr. Meng will definitely not need Miss Meng San to attend the banquet, and secondly, if there are female relatives, they will not let such inconvenient people as male favorites appear.

It's rare that Wei Huai'en couldn't figure out something, so she didn't have any worries and asked Xiao Qi directly.

"How did that boy pet meet Miss Meng San?"

"During the spring hunting days, all the ministers who accompanied him in Beijing also brought their families. Marquis Ding Yuan brought that male favorite named Li Kong."

"Ah, that's really fate."

Speaking of spring hunting, Wei Huai'en's mood faded.

Xiao Qi didn't explain it to her at the beginning because he was afraid of making her think of sad things.

Seeing that she turned her head away to look at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, Xiao Qi half-kneeled in front of her and put a fox face mask on her lap.

"When the slave was out of the city, I saw that the mask at this stall was very delicate."

This time it was Xiao Qi who looked up at her, and he pushed the mask in front of her again, trying to pull her thoughts back from those tragedies.

"You bought it just for me?"

Wei Huaien picked up the mask in his expectant eyes, looked at it carefully, and then put it on his face.

"master?"

Xiao Qi didn't expect that Wei Huai'en would put the mask on his face, shrunk his neck back, and turned his eyes a few times in surprise, like a frightened little fox.

Seeing this, the corners of Wei Huai'en's mouth rose, and he bent his eyes to look at him with a smile.

The gold-painted mask that covered the upper half of the face emphasized the thin chin, and she forgot the admonition that she should not get too close to him, and gently lifted his chin with one hand and stroked his lower lip with her thumb.

"Xiao Qi, you are too thin, Xuan Yusi has a lot of errands, is it too late to eat properly?"

Xiao Qi is not used to such concern.

He didn't know whether he should ask her for a reward by saying five points of hard work into eight points like when he was doing things elsewhere.

Or lie to Wei Huai'en that she doesn't feel that the errands she gives are tiring at all, so she will feel that she is very useful.

But before he could figure out why, Wei Huai'en had already seen his hesitation from his unconsciously dodging eyes.

"Don't lie."

In just a moment, the charming princess under the moon broke the harmless shell wrapped around her body, and the coercion of the superior was released to him, even making him want to slump down and crawl at her feet.

Even though Wei Huai'en didn't doubt his loyalty, it was just out of concern, but she was used to the sense of control brought by power, and she didn't like Xiao Qi hiding the truth about such trivial matters.

Who did he think he could hide from?She can allow the bird in her hand to fly to a higher sky, but the bird should not learn to deceive and hide outside.

If she had to lie about even small things, she would doubt his loyalty.

 Pat Xiao Qi, keep going
