  Chapter 398 Hiding

  As soon as the voice fell, a faintly breathing snoring sounded in the bedroom.

  The two servants dropped their hands and withdrew back to Baoxia.

  In the room, King Yan on the bed opened his eyes, his eyes were full of clarity, and he was not drunk at all.

  The little girl took a black cyan robe and silently held it in front of King Yan.

   King Yan got up and dressed, and whispered to the young man: "Every half an hour, let people change their tea."

  Xiao Si responds in full face.

  It was still cold at night in early summer. Once the window was opened, a cool breeze dissipated the alcohol in the house.

  Seeing that the figure outside the window quickly disappeared into the night, the little man moved the two carved windows again with extremely light movements.

  ……

  After Xu Mingyi went out of the palace, he changed to the easy-to-manage men's clothing in the carriage, let Akui help to remove the hair bun to loosen it, and tied the dark cyan ribbon on the top of his head.

   Out of consciousness, Akuiben also wanted to change into the outfit of a small servant, but was stopped by her own girl's words: "You don't have to follow—"

  Although there is no clear prediction about the next thing and situation, King Yan is a martial artist. If he needs to follow the other party, it is undoubtedly extremely inconvenient to bring Akui with him.

  Akui didn’t ask much, and nodded obediently, “The servant waits for the girl to come back.”

   drove a little further, and when passing an alley, the coachman stopped the carriage.

  Xu Mingyi lifted the car curtain and looked forward, only to see that the car that Xiaoqi was driving in front had stopped first. Seeing her, Xiaoqi jumped off the seat and raised his hand to salute her.

   Xu Mingyi got out of the carriage and walked over.

  The curtain of the car was kicked up from the inside, and then a big hand stretched out--under the narrow black sleeves, the young man’s palm was well-knotted, slender and white, and it was really beautiful.

   Xu Mingyi didn't hesitate, and leaned on the carriage in that hand.

  The curtain fell behind her.

  Only Wu Chao was in the car. Xu Mingyi sat down opposite him, and saw that besides melons and fruits, there were a few plates of pastries on top of the small table in the middle.

   Xu Mingyi recognized at a glance what the shortbread was, and couldn’t help asking: “You just parked on the street. Did you ask Xiao Qi to buy these?”

  Wu Chao said "Yeah" and said, "I bought it for you. I said it was the last one tonight. It was just out of the oven. It's not too cold. Try it soon."

  While talking, handed over a folded white cotton handkerchief.

  Xu Mingyi subconsciously took it. The cotton pad was wet, so she wiped her hands carefully.

  The left and right hands were also cleaned, and I ate together.

"Is it tasty?"

  Wu Chao asked with a smile.

  Xu Mingyi nodded, because there was something in her mouth that was inconvenient to speak, she pointed to the rest of the plate, intending to let him taste it too.

  Wu Chao glanced at the one in her hand, only to feel that the situation was different from what was said in the book-shouldn't he pass his piece over and let him have a taste?

   "I have eaten before."

  Wu Chao didn’t try the dessert on the plate, but raised his hand to pour a cup of hot tea and brought it to her: "Drink some water."

  Movement is faster than consciousness, Xu Mingyi, who is holding a snack in his right hand, leans slightly, and takes a sip from the tea cup in his hand.

  Wu Chao couldn't help but froze for a moment, and then a smile appeared in his eyes, and he brought the tea cup closer again——

   "The temperature is right, take another sip."

   Xu Mingyi drank some more and ate the last bite of shortbread.

  Not long, the carriage came to a halt slowly.

   Xiaoqi’s voice sounded: "Young Master, Miss Xu, here it is."

arrive?

  Xu Mingyi moved fast and got out of the carriage first.

  The young man Ruyu in the car still sat upright, looking down at the tea cup that he was holding in his right hand, and like a ghost, he brought the tea cup in front of him and took a sip.

  The fruit is really good tea...

  The young man raised the corners of his mouth slowly.

   "Wu Chao?"

  Seeing that the person hadn't come down after a long time, Xu Mingyi yelled suspiciously into the car.

  In the car, the smile on the corner of the boy's mouth was immediately put away, and he quickly put the tea cup down like a guilty conscience, coughed lightly, straightened his robe, and got out of the carriage.

   "Where is this?"

   Xu Mingyi glanced around and asked him.

  Growing up in Beijing, she has a monkey-like temperament who likes to run around. She naturally knew that this was Guangning Street. In fact, she wanted to ask why she came here.

   "Go to Pingqing Hall." Wu Zhao turned and walked forward, and said to her: "It's more convenient to walk."

  If the carriage is parked near the Pingqing Pavilion, it will undoubtedly reveal its whereabouts.

   "Pingqing Hall?" Xu Mingyi followed him in two steps and asked in a low voice, "...Could it be that Uncle Wu and His Royal Highness Yan Wang will not meet here?"

   "I guess it's probably here."

  Guess?

  I thought he had inquired or overheard something in advance, but the co-author actually guessed it?

   Xu Mingyi couldn't help but glance at him curiously: "How did you guess it?"

  This Pingqing Pavilion is not an ordinary teahouse.

  As far as she knows, this is one of the most famous teahouses in Beijing. It has exquisite and elegant layout, and it is a favorite place for literati and scholars. There are often literary scholars who set up poetry clubs here to meet friends through literature.

  Although it is nighttime, there must be few customers, but the shopkeeper in this teahouse must have developed a pair of very good eyes. Uncle Wu is here, isn’t he afraid of being recognized?

   "Pingqing Hall is the same as Xuesheng Tea House, both owned by the Wu family——" Wu Chao told bluntly.

  It's just that the functions of the two are different.

   Hearing this simple, straightforward, but rich and generous answer, Xu Mingyi couldn't help being silent for a moment.

  The original Pingqing Pavilion where the literati gathered is also owned by the Wu family——

  In the past few years, her second uncle often came over.

  I don’t know that when my second uncle was drunk, he had said something that was not friendly to the Wu family. If he had said that, he could still be sent out intact, but it is a manifestation of the store’s cherishment of the brand's reputation...

  Between the two of them, they have come to the outside of Pingqing Hall.

   Glancing at the signboard above his head, Xu Mingyi hesitated and asked in a low voice: "Shall we just go in directly?"

  In case the guy turns his head and tells Uncle Wu that Wu Chao is also there, can I still hear what I want to hear?

   "It's okay."

  Wu Chao seems to have plans.

   Xu Mingyi didn't ask any more, just walked in behind him.

At this time, there were very few guests in the evening. Only two men in long gowns sat drinking tea in the hall, sighing and shaking their heads from time to time. I drank the posture of using wine to pour my sorrows.

  Two people like this, they didn't even bother to pay attention to the two of Wu Chao who walked in.

  The guy who came up saw Wu Chao, his eyes flashed with an accident, and he returned to normal immediately, and he smiled and said, "How come Master Wu is free?"

  It looks like a regular visitor.

   "Passing here, I will come in and sit down." Wu Zhao glanced around inadvertently, and his companion said, "Don't mention it to my father about I'm here tonight."

  Man was startled.

  Can't talk to the son?

  Why...

  While in doubt, the guy keenly caught the sight of his family's grandchildren and glanced at his side as if imperceptibly.

  And the "boy" next to him was a little uncomfortable hiding behind his grandson, a pair of bright black eyes hiding, and there was a sense of tension that was nowhere to be placed.

  Guy's eyes flashed, and his head suddenly resembled Mingjing.

  Understood, Understood!

  Who hasn’t been young yet?

   "Yes, the villain understands that the villain will be tight-lipped."

  The guy immediately led the person to the backyard, "The inside is pure and elegant, and it is suitable for the two sons to talk about poetry..."

  Different from ordinary teahouses, the backyard here is the most elegant place, with green bamboo and flowers, three and five elegant rooms, each with its own ingenuity. On weekdays, non-special guests are not allowed to enter.

  But Xu Mingyi knew very well that there should be other reasons why this guy took her and Wu Chao to the elegant room in the backyard.

  Guy led the two to the elegant room, and soon they prepared tea and snacks.

  At the end, I don’t know where to hold a thin-necked white jade bottle with a few seasonal flowers inserted in the bottle. Wu Chao glanced at it and couldn’t help but feel that nine out of ten of them were picked out now...

The man put the vase down and glanced at Xu Mingyi, who was standing in front of the bookcase, looking through the bookcase. Then he lowered his voice and said with a smile to his son: "We have a clean and elegant place, a good view, good tea and snacks, and a convenient way to talk. You can bring friends often..."

  In short, it is much better than Xuesheng Teahouse!

However, the boy Shouming intentionally or unintentionally showed off with them all day long, saying that the son would go to Xuesheng Tea House to sit in a short distance, but he was jealous of the people in their Pingqing Hall, and they made up their minds—better not give them. The opportunity to behave in front of the son, otherwise he will definitely understand what is truly considerate and considerate.

  Listening to these words full of overt and secret struggles, Wu Chao only said "um" and said: "You don't need to talk about other things, let's go out first, and you don't have to come in if you have nothing to do."

  The buddy answered "Yes" knowingly, and walked out with a smile.

As soon as the door was closed by the guy from the outside, Xu Mingyi put the book in his hand back, turned around, lowered his voice and asked Wu Chao: "When you were in the front hall just now, you saw a room on the second floor. Is the light on in the elegant room?"

   "I see, the door is open, indicating that the person has not arrived yet, it should be reserved in advance——"

  So, the guy didn't take them to the second floor.

   Xu Mingyi said: "It seems that you probably guessed it right."

Yan Wang was drunk in the palace today, and she and Wu Chao guessed that this was a move to cover people's eyes, and took the opportunity to meet Wu Shizi.

On the birthday of the Queen Mother, the emperor also drank wine, and most of his thoughts were placed on the dragon heir in the womb of the Concubine Jing. Tonight is undoubtedly a good opportunity for King Yan.

  But all these are just her and Wu Chao's ideas. It is still unknown whether King Yan will go out of the house, and whether he will come here after he leaves the house.

   However, it looks like it is now 70% sure.

  "You still have to go to the elegant room to take a look--" Wu Zhao got up from the chair.

  Xu Mingyi nodded, and left the elegant room with him, gently closing the door.

  "It should be possible to sneak in from here."

  The two came to the backyard with ingenious furnishings, Xu Mingyi pointed to a rockery not far in front and said.

  Wu Chao raised his eyes and looked over.

  It seems that this is unavoidable to turn the window on the home site to enter the house.

   "Are you afraid of heights?" he asked.

  "I am not afraid of--"

  I've been on the city wall, how can I be afraid of this two-story building?

   When Xu Mingyi was eager to try, he felt that his waist was lightly embraced——

  The young man stepped lightly, he was as light as a swallow, stepped on the rockery, and led her to the porch under the windows of the lighted elegant room.

   Perceiving that the hand that was holding him loosened, Xu Mingyi suppressed the throbbing mood and took the lead in the house.

  The young man leaned on the window frame with one hand, and then flipped in easily and neatly.

  This elegant room is very spacious. The inner and outer rooms are separated by curtains. The outer room is a place for tea and friends, and the inner room is equipped with a low couch for people to rest.

   "It seems that my father is indeed coming over—"

  Looking at the incense burner with a few wisps of green smoke on the side of the small table, Wu Chao said with confidence: "The incense in this furnace is my father's favorite."

  Although his father loves incense, he doesn't like the incense too strong. He always opens the window to let out the fragrance. The beautiful name is "Clean breeze and wash incense"-leaving only a scent of fragrance is best for him.

   "Then let's go to the next room—"

  At this point, Xu Mingyi has completely determined what to do tonight, nothing else, just eavesdropping.

  Wu Chao nodded.

  However, when the two were about to leave, they suddenly heard footsteps coming upstairs.

  The two looked at each other, and they both saw four words in each other's eyes-it's too late!

Even if you turn the window out, the window in the next elegant room is closed, so you can’t hide in right away. Once you have a bad place to hide, then you want to approach here without being noticed by King Yan. It's extremely difficult.

  It’s not difficult to just turn the window and leave, but what they want is not to get away——

  In desperation, Xu Mingyi suddenly took Wu Zhao's hand and ran quickly to the inner room behind the curtain.

  She just glanced at it, remembering that there was a cabinet inside!

  In a hurry, he caught sight of the cabinet. Xu Mingyi quickly opened the cabinet door without saying a word, and pushed Wu Chao in first.

  In this situation, there is no time to discuss. If you want to cooperate with each other without making mistakes, one can only let the other make arrangements, and Wu Chao is also very willing to be arranged by her so that he can be stuffed into the cabinet like this.

After    stuffed Wu Chao in, Xu Mingyi also bent over and got in immediately.

  The visitor was brought in by the guy, and when the door of the elegant room was closed, the two cabinet doors were just as close as they were just completely closed under Xu Mingyi's hands.

  This vermilion lacquered wardrobe is not small, it can accommodate two people at the same time, and it is still much smaller.

Xu Mingyi, who came in after   , almost shrank in Wu Zhao's arms.

  Wu Chao's heart beat a drum, feeling that this was too rude and offensive, and it really made him unable to calm down, so he quietly moved and adjusted a little bit.

How to adjust, the space is really limited. In the end, although the two face each other to occupy one side of the cabinet, due to the young man's stature, Xu Mingyi can only hide in front of him. In order to maintain the balance of the cabinet, Wu Chao She also needs to support one hand on the cabinet wall behind her.

  At this moment, Xu Mingyi didn't bother to care about this, and just listened to the outside movement motionlessly.

  　 On the first day of 2021, the two chapters are in one. I wish everyone happy and sweet, and everything goes well.
