Chapter 6 revealed identity

When I woke up early in the morning, I heard the patter of rain coming from outside the window. The stable prince seemed to have gotten up early and was sitting by the half-closed lattice door.The raindrops drifted in with the wind, bringing a bit of refreshing taste.The white rhododendrons in the garden are already in bloom, and the petals are covered with raindrops, like their unfallen tears. "Are you awake?" He didn't look at me, but still looked at the scenery in the yard. I answered. "Shiqing, do you have brothers and sisters in your family?" He suddenly asked.

I froze for a moment and replied, "Yes." "Does my sister look like you?" His next question made me even more confused. "Since they are sisters, they are naturally alike. I don't know why Your Highness suddenly thought of asking me this?" "It's nothing. It's just a guess. If the sisters in Shiqing's family are as talented as you, then there must be many people who go to your house to ask for marriage." As he said, he turned his head and stared into my eyes. There is a trace of unfathomable look on his face. I was startled, and smiled: "Women are virtuous without talent. They can't read and write like men."

"A woman's lack of talent is virtue..." he repeated, "I don't agree with this statement. Whether it is a man or a woman, the inner beauty is often more attractive than the beautiful appearance, isn't it?" "Your Highness is right." I straightened my clothes, "It's dawn, Shiqing should leave." After speaking, I hurriedly left Turtle Dove Palace. As soon as I came out of Turtle Dove Palace, I bumped into that Prince Zhutian.Sure enough, just as Ono said, this Prince Taketa and his beautiful woman Wakaba are inseparable. "Did Mr. Pei talk with His Highness Bingzhuye last night?" He looked at me with a strange expression.

I nodded: "Yes, we chatted a little late last night, so we rested there." "Your Highness has never been so close to others, Mr. Pei, you are the first." There was a little surprise in his eyes. "Where, where..." I glanced at Luo Ye while talking politely.I saw that she was staring at me without blinking, and I was a little embarrassed by her look.Please, your master is still by your side, even if you have a crush on me, you can't stare at me so directly. Suddenly, she seemed to have noticed something, and whispered a few words in Zhutian's ear.Zhutian looked around very quickly: "Master Pei, I have something to do, so I'm leaving. If I have a chance, I will invite you to come and talk about it."

I said a few polite words and watched them leave.Before leaving, that Ruoye girl gave me another complicated look. Although it was strange, I didn't pay much attention to it.When I walked through the courtyard, I saw that the cherry blossoms in the courtyard were blooming more delicately, and the bright red color in the pink and white was deeper, and it was indistinct at first glance, and the beautiful and reserved posture was like the smile on the cheeks of a young girl.Just as I reached out to pick a branch, there was a familiar tinnitus in my ears.I stared at Sakura calmly and said, "Small man, is that you?"

There was a vague voice in the air: "Master Pei can feel my presence?" "Of course, as soon as you use your spiritual power, I can feel it." I had just finished speaking when I suddenly remembered something.When I was in the hunting ground last time, when the arrow shot at me, I also seemed to have tinnitus. So, could it be that he deflected the arrow? I suddenly felt something strange.In this way, the arrow was really aimed at me.Could this be the reason why Prince Stableto arranged for someone to be by my side? But, who is so bold and stupid, dare to hurt the envoy of Tai Sui?This is obviously hitting an egg against a rock.If Emperor Sui Yang was angered, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Xiren, you are loyal and loyal, and you only obey His Highness's orders. But if this continues, you will live in darkness forever, don't you feel regretful?" I suddenly remembered the client, and I really didn't understand what Xiren had. The reason for betraying the stable household prince. He was silent for a while: "This is my destiny." Not far away, there was a sudden sound of small footsteps. "Master Pei, you are here, my lord is looking for you." A man dressed as a servant hurried over.I've seen him before, he is "Shrimp"'s valet.

"I don't know what business Mr. Su is looking for me?" I asked politely. "Come with me first, my lord is waiting for you there." The attendant pointed to the direction outside the palace, "You will definitely like it there." "Where?" I asked suspiciously, "Are you going out of the palace?" "Exactly, Mr. Pei, please follow me." The attendant led the way for me. Although reluctant, but in order not to affect the normal friendly relations between the two countries, I can only take this trip. When I arrived at the destination, I was a little surprised to see the scenery in front of me.Because no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the official residence of the minister.This is a borrowed garden with the light blue sky and rolling green hills as the background. The evergreen trees planted are carefully selected. From the direction I stand, I can see the blooming flowers on the hill through the gaps between the branches. The cherry blossoms, the thin crimson lingering softly and brilliantly like clouds.

"Master Pei, this is Lord Su's other residence." The attendant quickly explained. I see.I really didn't expect that Suga's country house in Ezo is quite tasteful. "Where are you adults?" I asked sideways. The attendant smiled all over his face: "My lord is waiting for you in the backyard." I nodded and followed him to the backyard.As soon as I stepped into the backyard, I heard Suga Ezo's happy voice: "Shiqing, you are here! Hurry up and try the hot spring here." spa?My mind suddenly went blank. Sure enough, I saw an open-air hot spring in the backyard, and that Mr. Suga was sitting in the faint white mist.What's worse, that's Mr. Su Wo who is naked!

I quickly turned my head away.Fortunately, he only showed his shoulders. The last time I saw more exciting ones in Rome, there were no needles. This time it should be regarded as a pediatric case.If I had known that he invited me to the hot spring, I wouldn't have come if I was killed! "My lord Su, I don't like soaking in hot springs." I refused with a smile on my face.The water in the hot spring pool is very clear and exudes curling heat. If it weren't for this situation, I think I would definitely be willing to try it, but now... "Shiqing, this is the best hot spring in Beijing. Normally I would not allow other people to come, but today I specially invited you here. Don't you even give me this face?" Su Wo Ezo immediately showed displeasure look.

"I'm not used to meeting people naked." The corner of my mouth twitched. "It's not a woman, so coy. Let me tell you, if you don't give me this face today, I won't let you go!" What kind of gangster logic is this? Does he even force others to take a hot spring? "Sorry, I'm leaving!" I snorted coldly in my heart.Can you stop me? Just when I turned around, I heard him yell: "Shiqing!" After the sound of splashing water, my sleeve was pulled. "Hey, you want to be rude to the envoys of the Sui Dynasty..." I subconsciously turned my head back, and suddenly petrified.Whoa!Now I'm really going to have a needle eye. Before I regained my senses, I heard a plop, and I was dragged into the pool of the hot spring by him. Seeing the spray on my face, he laughed loudly: "How is this hot spring not bad? Take off your wet clothes quickly, or you will get sick..." Then, he stretched out his claws, Come and pull my skirt. My endurance is at its limit.What is friendly and unfriendly?What envoys are not envoys?Whether you are calm or not... Get the hell out of here, let me beat him up first! "Master Su, what are you doing?" Just as I was about to kill myself, I suddenly heard a familiar voice. Su Wo Ezo's movements stopped, and he couldn't believe it and said: "--Your Highness?" A vague white figure walked slowly from the other side of the courtyard, his movements were so light that he didn't make any sound.The sun shines dappledly on him through the gaps between the branches.His watery eyes seemed to be covered with thin ice at this moment.This is the first time I saw such a terrifying expression on the face of Tajito Prince... "Your Highness, why are you here?" Suga asked in surprise. Prince Suoto gave him a cold look: "Why did you bring Shiqing here?" "I invite him to come and enjoy the hot spring together." Suga Ezo looked puzzled. "Who can guarantee that you have no grievances in your heart when you lost to Shiqing? For the sake of the friendly relationship between our country and the Sui Dynasty, I cannot allow you to make any mistakes." Prince Suito said coldly, "If you affect our country and Sui Regarding Da Sui's relationship, I don't think even your father can protect you." "Your Highness, I really want to make friends with Mr. Pei!" Su Wo Ezo quickly argued.He wanted to say something more, but he was intimidated by the eyes of the stable prince. "Master Su, please go out for a while, I have something to talk to Shiqing alone." I suddenly felt a little scalp tingling.I didn't dare to move in the water, otherwise it would be easy to slip through.However, what would Prince Sudo want to tell me alone? "Your Highness, let's go back and talk about anything." I tugged at the skirt of my shirt. Prince Sudo ignored me, but just glanced at Su Wo expressionlessly.Su Wo Ezo hesitated for a moment, glanced at me, picked up the clothes next to him, and left the hot spring pool. Now it's just me and him, the surrounding is very quiet, so quiet that I can hear the sigh of cherry blossoms falling on the water... "Your Highness, let's go back and talk about anything." I repeated what I said just now, breaking the slightly weird silence. Then he turned his head and looked at me, his eyes were like pitch-black stones thrown into the cold water without any ripple: "Who are you?" I was slightly startled: "Your Highness's question is really strange, isn't it Pei Shiqing?" "Really?" He raised his eyebrows slightly, his unfathomable eyes seemed to penetrate my body.He suddenly leaned closer to my ear, and said softly: "But, I've never heard that Pei Shiqing is a woman." what!Immediately a few big words appeared in my mind: wear-help-it!Although I was surprised in my heart, my face remained calm: "I don't understand His Highness's words." "Don't you understand?" The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he walked to the hot spring and bent down, "Do you need me to come down so that you can understand? Or should I personally invite Mr. Pei out of the water?" Although I was still wearing clothes, it seemed impossible to hide it from him now that I was soaked all over; moreover, from what he said, he seemed to have seen through my identity.It doesn't make sense for me to argue any longer, it's better to just admit it.If he wanted to expose me on the spot, he wouldn't have let Suga Ezo leave just now. "Was it the hunting ground?" I looked up at him.I have always been very careful, except for that one intimate contact with him. He was slightly taken aback, and immediately realized: "That's right, it was indeed from that time that I started to suspect." "Then why didn't you expose me then?" He suddenly smiled slightly: "I don't intend to expose you now. If others know about Sui envoy Pei... I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble." "Then why..." "However, I still want you to know that I'm not that easy to deceive." He gave me a sideways glance.Whether it's his high eyebrows, his squinting eyes, or the chuckle on his lips, there seems to be a kind of restrained pride hidden. "Although I don't know the reason, and I'm not interested in knowing, but I can be sure of one thing—" he said calmly, "Your ability is completely capable of being an envoy." "Do not you mind?" "If you don't mind continuing to talk with me at night." His expression was like melting snow, and gradually became gentle, "Maybe it's a good thing that you are not a man." I froze, and looked up at him.His dark eyes reflected me who was close at hand, very close...very close, so close that I could feel each other's breath. My body froze, and I quickly moved back: "If this is the case, please go out first, Your Highness." He didn't speak, and suddenly stretched out his hand to lift me out of the pool, quickly wrapped a coat around my body, and then hugged me around the waist. "Hey... what are you doing?" "Master Pei, you don't want people to see you like this." There was a funny expression on his face. "But, isn't this posture too, too ambiguous? Now we are both men..." The corners of my mouth began to twitch. "Oh, so what?" There was a smile in his bright eyes, and he continued to walk outside, "Anyway, there have been rumors in the palace that I am a manly man." ah?Is there such a thing?If it is because of my relationship that Prince Shotoku is left with a good manly reputation in history, then, then my crime will be serious! The spread of gossip in the palace was beyond my imagination. This matter was quickly spread into N versions and spread everywhere.One of the most popular versions is: Prince Sugato and Soga Ezo-san fell in love with the male Sui Dynasty envoy Mr. Pei at the same time. Prince Hu arrived in time, the hero saved the beauty, and staged a beautiful love with a broken back. When I heard this version at Taizi Suoto, the whole mouthful of soup came out in my mouth.I don't know if the real Pei Shi would want to bump his head to death when he wakes up? "This is too ridiculous." I took the handkerchief from him and wiped the soup stains from my mouth. He suddenly laughed softly, and those deep eyes immediately bent like crescent moons when he smiled.Why are those indifferent looking men smiling so charmingly?For example, Prince Stable Household, for example - Si Yin. "If Su Wo Ezo knew that you were... I don't know what kind of expression you would show?" There was a trace of childish complacency in his black pupils, "However, only I know this secret." I saw that he was in a good mood, so I inquired about Xiren: "Your Highness, did Xiren follow you very early?" He thought for a while and said, "He has been with me for a while." "I think he's always alone, doesn't he have any friends, relatives or something?" I wanted to try to find out something. "From birth, they have been used as tools to train them. Even if they really have relatives and friends, it's like nothing to them. What's more, Xiren's parents have both died long ago, but..." He paused, "It's true It is said that he has been looking for his long-lost sister." "My sister?" My eyes lit up.This is very useful information, maybe it will be related to my mission.Just as I was about to continue asking, there was a soft knock on the door. "Your Highness, Prince Zhutian sent someone to deliver a message to Mr. Pei." The maid outside the door handed in a light cherry-colored post, "He invites your lord to come over to enjoy the singing and dancing in three days." I took the post suspiciously.Why is Prince Zhutian here to join in the fun?Suddenly, a chill came from behind me.Um... those boring people won't expand this version of "Broken Back Love" by then, right? Looking up at Prince Suoto, his face returned to the original indifferent expression: "Since it was invited by Zhutian himself, it's okay for you to go." I nodded: "That's right, anyway, it's just watching the singing and dancing, he seems to have mentioned it to me before." Looking at the sky outside the window, I stood up, "Your Highness, it's getting late, I have to go back." There was a hint of loss in his eyes: "Are you leaving?" "Your Highness, now that you know my real gender, if I stay here for another night, won't we be embarrassed?" I smiled. He looked out the window, was silent for a while and whispered: "Maybe, I exposed it too early..." Before I could speak, his expression suddenly changed slightly, as if he had noticed something. There was a slight tinnitus in my ears.Someone is using spiritual power?But this feeling is not subtle, who is it? He waved his hand: "Go." I said some words of farewell and hurried out.As I crossed the courtyard, I saw a black figure flitting through the shadows, a figure of unimaginable lightness--a woman, obviously.What's more, this woman is heading towards the palace of Prince Suoto. The tinnitus gradually disappeared, and I looked at the back in surprise. If my feeling is correct, it was this woman who was using spiritual power just now...could it be--a ninja?Or a female ninja? I was puzzled and was about to follow when suddenly a black figure jumped down from the tree and stopped in front of me: "Master Pei, you should go back." I gave him a cold look: "Small man, are you protecting me or spying on me?" "It's my duty to protect you." His cold expression seemed to be a little gentle, "Master Pei has a heavy responsibility, and he came across the ocean. I admire you very much." "There will be more envoys from the Sui Dynasty in the future, and your prince will also send more people to the Sui Dynasty to learn advanced technology, and your country will become more prosperous because of it--" I smiled, "Your The prince will definitely become a good monarch who will last forever." Therefore, you have absolutely no reason to betray your master, my friend and friend... I finished the last sentence in my heart. His expression changed slightly, but soon returned to normal: "Master Pei, let's go back earlier." He gave me a cold look, and jumped up the tree again. "Well, little man!" I paused, "I hope you can find your sister soon." After speaking, I didn't look at his expression again, and strode away. Alas, finally a little progress has been made...
