Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

"Okay, then my grandson will go back first. You should also rest early, and don't think about the things that you have and don't have..." Bai Xing advised him seriously, "No matter what my cousin becomes, I don't care about him." No matter how he makes insinuations and has deep thoughts, the purpose is unclear, but you are his grandmother after all, and he always cares for you. Besides, he is secretive because he is afraid that you will be unhappy and blame him!"

There was some truth to this, but she was still puzzled and asked him doubtfully, "Why did you lie to him that your father went out for a drink yesterday? Don't tell me that you don't know or forget that in the past you That’s all, you sent your father’s dinner to the study yesterday, how can you forget that?”

It was originally the boy's job, but I didn't know what kind of cramp the boy had yesterday, so he insisted on delivering it himself. The father and son did not have a very harmonious relationship on weekdays, so the old lady thought that this boy had caused something outside. It’s as if misfortune has been forgiven in advance. So, something has been wrong with this child since yesterday?

Bai Xing smiled, "I really don't remember... You know, I don't care about the old man's affairs."

It's just that it's different from the wanton and romantic look just now. Now he's smiling calmly and shamelessly, with an expression like "I won't tell you what you can do to me." , the back of the hand was very red.

The old lady choked, feeling helpless and angry. In the end, she just shook her head, thinking to herself that although the father and son did not deal with each other, they had the same temper. If they were stubborn, there was really nothing others could do.

The last bit of twilight finally faded away, and the crescent moon hung over the treetops, with a chilly chill among the jagged branches.

Behind her was the dim light in Mrs. Bai's yard. The light was orange, warm and dim, and the shadows hit the ground and were stretched very long. Alone and facing each other, Bai Xing stood outside the courtyard with his hands behind his back, looking up at the moon, then looking down at his own shadow... Yesterday, I sent dinner to my father. It was really just a whim, but I heard my father discussing something outside the study, and said... Now that the prince was banned and the East Palace lost power, I thought that the shackles on him were finally lifted. Unexpectedly, as soon as Pingyang County Prince gained power, he was secretly afraid of his uncle and restricted him at every turn.

Colleagues said that they know people, know faces, but don’t know hearts. In short, they are still cautious and so on.

Bai Xing didn't understand what happened in the court, but everyone in the court and the public knew how well Prince Pingyang treated his uncle and how kindly he treated his grandfather's family. Whether in court or in private, he never cared about the monarch or his ministers, only about his relatives. Seniority... Bai Xing knew that he was able to walk around Yanjing City largely because he had an aunt who was a queen and a cousin who was a county king.

The moonlight was like this last night too.

It was pale white like frost and snow, with a coolness. The stone lantern in the courtyard had not yet been lit, and a short shadow fell behind him.

He looked at the dim light in his father's study, and somehow he remembered what Ji Wuyan had asked him back then. Ji Wuyan once asked him, "When I first came to Yanjing City, I heard that the Prince of Pingyang was the most domineering. However, after meeting him several times, I felt that the Prince of Pingyang was not consistent with the rumors. He was very gentle. No contention. I just don’t know, is it really no contention, or is it just keeping a low profile?"

At that time, he actually didn't know how to answer. Bai Xing knew how difficult it was for Li Yiwei these years, and he also knew that he was actually deliberately keeping a low profile many times, deliberately acting like he was uncontested, uncontested, and even untalented and domineering. He knew all of this. , but... he once thought that Li Yiwei in the Bai family was real. Because of this truth, his cousin, the prince of the county, would behave completely differently in the Bai family than outside.

She loves to fight for elbows with him, go to teahouses and listen to music with him, and loves to tease him. She is like an ordinary cousin, not a superior county prince.

He had doubts about his father's words, but when Li Yiwei asked about his father today, he subconsciously lied.

My father has been stubborn and upright all his life. Although they have many problems with each other, most of them are because his father can't stand his idleness, and he can't stand his father's lack of flexibility. But because of this, he has doubts emotionally, but he already believes it intellectually. What my father said. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. He looked at his own shadow and walked back step by step with his hands behind his back. He vaguely remembered that in those years, Li Yiwei would always come to Bai's house to stay for a while, living in the same courtyard with him. There were also such seasons and such In the moonlight, he stole wine from the wine cellar. At that time, Li Yiwei didn't know how to drink, but he couldn't resist his words. He held the wine jar and drank hard with his eyes closed, choking and coughing, but he didn't Accepting defeat, I drank a whole jar of wine and slept for three days.

And I... was chased and beaten by my father and ran around. Finally, I escaped and hid in Duke Ning's Mansion for three days.

Yes, if Li Yiwei is still the same as before, stupid, stupid and easy to deceive, I'm afraid he will end up with Li Yan first. Thinking like this, I feel a little distressed for no reason. Others can only see how different the current King Pingyang is from before, but they ignore that he is a little idiot who can't even drink and can only cry when he can't get a sour elbow. , how did you go down step by step in that place where people eat people, and become what it is today.

He stood there and saw a young boy carrying a lantern to greet him not far away. Behind the red lantern was the boy's face with a silly smile... It was somewhat similar to the little fool back then.

However, such stupidity, just like that sauce elbow, is destined not to be tolerated by the royal family.

……

It's a dark and windy night, when you commit adultery and commit crimes.

Just when Ji Wuyan, dressed in night clothes, went out, a figure fell in front of him. Ji Wuyan, who was not alert at all in his own yard, was startled and took a step back, only to see that it was Qingshan.

Mu Qingshan had a face that looked particularly like a wooden stake under the moonlight, and he cupped his hands and said, "Girl. My master asked his subordinates to follow the girl to protect her."

Ji Wuyan raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, "How did brother know that I was going out?" She didn't tell anyone about this, and she even sent Xi Yu away for it. How could the news reach her brother?

Qingshan said concisely and to the point, "Because Xi Yu went out."

"Ok?"

"The master said that every time Xi Yu is chased away by a girl, the girl will go out to do something that cannot be told to Mr. Ning. If you cannot tell Mr. Ning, it must be dangerous or reckless. Besides, it's still late at night, so it's very dangerous... So, I sent my subordinates to protect the girl."

Ji Wuyan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. She was not very willing, and neither was Cen Yan behind her. After all, Xi Yu's guy was not here, and there were so many Qingshans, so what's going on? Can't my subordinate protect the girl?
