065 Suspected of being an old friend

At Bai Xijing's order, Siqin ordered the man to pack the persimmon to the little boy in a small basket and asked the maid to send the little boy home. Only then did they find that the little boy lived in the courtyard next door.

Because the courtyard has always been quiet and they have never seen anyone come out, they always thought that the courtyard was empty, but they didn't expect that there were people living in it, and according to the little boy, they actually moved here earlier than them.

As soon as the little boy returned to his courtyard, he rushed to the deepest part of the courtyard with a basket. Although there were maids and maids along the way, they seemed to have seen this. No one came forward to stop him and let the little boy run straight to the garden on the west side of the courtyard.

In the garden in the afternoon, the air is mixed with a trace of **light elegant fragrance, but the burning sunlight is covered by tall branches, only casting a mottled shadow. As soon as the wind blows, the shadow moves slightly, like the obvious sadness and joy in people's hearts. Perhaps for these reasons, the whole garden gives people a quiet and indifferent feeling, as if only the time flow here is the slowest.

In the gazebo in the corner of the garden, a man leaned slightly on the couch. His face was hidden in the shadows, but he could not see clearly, but his snow-white clothes were the most beautiful scenery in the courtyard.

"Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan..." The little boy quickly ran to the man in white with a basket. When the man in white heard his voice, he slowly turned around and smiled gently and said, "Why are you running so fast?"

"Brother Yuan, do you know that a beautiful sister has moved in in the courtyard next door? Except for Brother Yuan, this is the most beautiful person I have ever seen, and that sister is very interesting. Seeing the man in white smiling at him, the little boy quickly put the persimmon aside and ran over to the man's knee and talk.

I said why I didn't see you today, but I didn't expect you to run to the next door. Shaoling, can you copy the poems I asked you to copy? The voice of the man in white sounded as shallow as water, but it made the boy named Shaoling involuntarily pouted.

"Brother Yuan..." The little boy didn't finish his words, but called the man in white in a pitiful, pleading voice.

"Shaoling, your move is useless to me." The man in white shook his head slightly and looked completely unbuyable: "Since you are free, copy the poem five times."

"Five times? I haven't finished copying the previous ten times..."

"Ten times." The man in white interrupted the little boy's words and spit out two words blankly. For a moment, the little boy with an excited face was like an eggplant beaten by frost. He didn't dare to refute again, but he was afraid that he would say two more words, and the next time his distant brother would say it 20 times.

"I just felt that the sister and Brother Yuan were very similar, and they could see through my pretends. Now I think it's better for my sister. At least in the end, she still gave me the persimmon. How can it be like Brother Yuan..." Shaoling muttered alone, but after the eyes of a pair of the man in white, he didn't I sighed.

Shaoling slowly got up from the man's knee, and then obediently took the persimmon over. After carefully peeling it, he handed it to the man in white and said, "Brother Yuan, eat persimmons."

After the two ate the persimmon relatively silently, Shaoling suddenly stretched out his hand and covered the man's eyes, saying with a trace of distress in his tone, "Brother Yuan, is this doctor of Ye really good? Why can't Brother Yuan still see it now?

The man in white was stunned when he heard the words, and then said with a faint smile, "You don't have to worry about this." As if feeling the little boy's mood, the man in white quietly changed the topic and said, "How interesting is the sister you just mentioned?"

When Shaoling heard the words, he suddenly put a bright smile on his delicate little face and hurried to steal persimmons. And Bai Xijing said everything he said to him to the man. In the end, Shaoling giggled and said, "Brother Yuan, what do you think of this sister?"

The man's face also showed a trace of surprise when he heard the words. Now when he heard Shaoling's question, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Although I'm surprised that the sister you said would say such a child like this, I'm even more surprised by your reaction."

When Shaoling heard the words, the innocent expression on his face retreated a lot, and even said with the sadness that a child of this age should not have: "Because... Because of what he has been saying to himself, I was finally moved by someone who said it to himself."

Although the man in white couldn't see Shaoling's current expression, he also heard the hidden emotions in his tone and no longer blame the little boy for his inexplicable touch. He just reached out and touched the little boy's hair, gentle and with a trace of pity.

After playing for most of the day, the little boy fell asleep on the man's knee. Then the man in white waved and called a maid to take Shaoling back to his room.

"Su Qing." The man in white said slowly.

As his words fell, a man in blue suddenly appeared outside the pavilion where no one had been seen: "Son, what can I do for you?"

"Go and find out who lives in the courtyard next door."

"Yes." The man in blue was about to retreat, but suddenly the man in white shook his head to stop his action. Su Qing was a little puzzled, but he did not dare to act rashly. He still knelt straight outside the pavilion.

I faintly heard a piece of the sound of the piano from the other courtyard next door. Su Qing was not familiar with the rhythm, but he inexplicably felt that the piano music was very good. The melodious and indifferent music somehow made the listener sad and the listener heartbroken. Looking carefully at the look of the man in white, he seemed to be listening to the song attentively.

After the piano song stopped, Su Qing saluted and said, "I'm going to investigate."

"No." The man in white suddenly shook his head, and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It turned out to be her."

Su Qing looked up at the man in surprise, as if he didn't understand why the man just heard the sound of the piano and understood who lived in the courtyard next door. However, even if there are thousands of questions in my heart, I dare not reveal anything on my face.

"Su Qing, why didn't anyone return to me about the arrival of the White Princess of Ye?" The voice of the man in white sounded a little cold, but there was no expression on his face.

"When I returned to my son, my subordinates thought that this matter was not important, and the Lord... so I didn't report it in the past few days."

"It doesn't matter?" The man in white frowned slightly when he heard the words: "I don't know when these things will be handed over to you to judge whether it is important or not! Why, do you think I'm going to rebel if I can't see it?

"I dare not. I know that I am guilty. Please punish me." Su Qing's face changed and hurriedly kowtowed three times, but the expression of the man in white was still faint, and he was not angry or forgiven.

"Only this time." After a long time, the man in white said such a sentence lightly, and Su Qing hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him. Report everything you know about Princess Bai Guoxijing and Ye Lin in detail.

"Yes." Su Qing didn't dare to report it, so he told the man in white one by one the information he received these days, but he didn't expect that the man in white seemed to become a little gloomy after listening to it, but if he looked carefully, he felt that there was no change in his expression at all.

"Prem?"

"What else?" The man in white breathed a sigh of relief and asked slowly.

"I just received the news that Princess Pingting is pregnant." Su Qing said respectfully.

The man in white seemed to be stunned when he heard the words, but there was not much joy on his face. Instead, he smiled helplessly and said, "Is that right? Send Yang Lin and Xiaoyue to protect them secretly. Be careful not to attract Ye Lin's attention.

"Yes, I understand." Su Qing took the order and left, but the man in white closed his eyes slightly as if he was tired. After a long time, a young man came and ordered, "Since Shaoling has received the persimmon next door, send some iced Sydney."

The little guy answered and left, and the man in white slowly stood up. When the autumn wind blew, his white robe was brushed up, and there was a feeling of feathering into an immortal: "Bai Xijing...?"

When the man in white was still thinking about it, he heard footsteps: "What's the matter?"

"Son, Princess Pingting is here." The maid's voice sounded outside the pavilion.

"I know, please come in." Although the other party felt a little surprised by Pingting's sudden visit, the man still ordered someone to invite her in.

"Brother, I'm coming." Qingyue's female voice sounded with light footsteps. Even if he couldn't see it, the man knew that Fang Pingting had come to him.

"Since you are pregnant, why don't you take care of yourself in the house? Why did you come to me?" Although there are not many emotional ups and downs in the words, there is a trace of gentleness in the tone.

Fang Pingting smiled and said, "I'm also idle in the house. It's better to come and talk to my brother. By the way, brother, do you know she's here?

"Well, I just learned about it. Are you here to talk about this?

"Of course, it's not just this matter, but... I suddenly want to ask a question that has troubled me for a long time, and ask my brother to help solve the puzzle." Fang Pingting smiled lightly, but a pair of sharp eyes stared straight at the man. Because I married Ye Guo, I have only heard most of Fang Guo's affairs, but there is one thing I have always wanted to know the answer, that is... Brother, what is your reason for refusing to marry?

The man in white was stunned when he heard the words, but he didn't speak.

"Brother has never been an impulsive person. Besides, as an imperial family, we can't make the decision on marriage. Brother, why do such a smart person refuse to marry in the hall? What if you marry that woman? What's your reason for refusing this marriage?
