The second son of the prince's family

After Zuo Qingyan said a few words, he said that he had something to do with King Qi, so he left first.

Pei Qian silently sighed inwardly, his attachment to Zuo Qingyan all this time suddenly seemed like a cloud of the past, like a dream.

His admiration for Zuo Qingyan may have been just to keep the kind of warmth that is good to him.Want to keep this concern.

But now, he has lost this concern.

Pei Qian felt sad, feeling that his life was a mess, as if he was stuck in the mud and couldn't relax.

At noon, someone sent a letter, which was not signed. Pei Qian opened it and read it. It asked Tashen to meet at Fuqing Restaurant.

Pei Qian frowned, thought for a while, but couldn't figure out who sent it, so he asked Shrike, "Who sent it?"

Shrike thought for a while, and said, "It's a child, about seven or eight years old, and it's said to be a gift for someone else."

The other party didn't want Pei Qian to know his identity, so he was a little curious, so he said to Shrike, "Prepare the carriage, go over and have a look later."

Pei Qian reserved a cubicle by the window on the second floor of Fuqing Restaurant, and then quietly waited for someone to come. He brought a few more guards when he went out this time. Except for Shrike, everyone else guarded outside the cubicle.

There were various voices outside the cubicle. Pei Qian listened carefully for a while, but it was nothing more than some parents' short-sightedness or bragging rhetoric, and there was nothing worth noting.

The application time has come, but still no one came, Pei Qian gradually became unhappy, wondering who was playing tricks on him.

He stood up, and was about to tell Shrike to go back, but someone suddenly came in outside, it was the guard brought by Pei Qian, he clasped his fists in both hands, bowed and saluted, and said: "My lord, someone outside invites you to the Tianzihao room on the third floor .”

Pei Qian sat down again, raised his chin, and said, "Since you asked me to come here, but you are sneaky and hide your head and show your tail, so insincere, I think it's better to forget it."

A person came in behind the guard, with a fair face and clean appearance, with a slightly hunched back straight, with a slight smile, he cupped his hands at Pei Qian and said, "Second son, my master's status is so inconvenient, so I'm sorry. I can only trouble you to go upstairs."

His voice was pretending to be low, but it was thin and soft, and there was a feminine demeanor between his movements. Seeing him, Pei Qian suddenly understood who his master was, so he said, "Okay, lead the way."

On the third floor, the surroundings were quiet.

The man led Pei Qian to the Tianzihao room, and said, "My lord, please come in."

He stood outside the door by himself, blocking the Shrike and his party behind him.

Pei Qian said to Shrike: "It's okay, you are waiting for me here."

Push open the door and enter, it is a screen of high mountains and flowing water.Pei Qian walked in, turned around the screen, and saw a man wearing a black suit with dark gold trim on the cuffs.

Seeing Pei Qian, he raised his head, his eyes were deep with an inviolable majesty.

Pei Qian paused, his heart trembled, and he knelt down to salute after standing for a while.

"Greetings to the emperor."

When I was young, I would follow Pei Ye to call him Uncle Huang, but he never responded once. Pei Qian didn't know why, but felt very sad, and always looked at him helplessly. Obviously he had never smiled at him once, but Pei Qian Not afraid of him, always wanting to be close to him.

Others joked that he was always clinging to others like a sticky cake.

Later, after knowing that this was Pei Ye's only favorite, Pei Qian envied Pei Ye, but he stopped calling him Uncle Pei Mo, and instead called him the emperor along with the servants.

Pei Mo looked at him indifferently, his eyes were majestic, and he didn't ask him to get up.

Pei Qian was not afraid of him, and raised his head to look at him.

Pei Mo was playing with the dark green jade pendant in his hand, his expression was unclear. After a long time, Pei Mo said, "What do you want?"

Before, Pei Qian still hesitated, wanting him to give him and Zuo Qingyan a marriage, but now he has no such idea at all.

He raised his head, obviously in a weak position, but still looked calm, and said indifferently: "I would like to ask you to marry Mr. Chen Qing of the Hanlin Academy and Lin Siwen of the head of Nanyin County."

Pei Mo's hand playing with the jade pendant suddenly stopped, his eyes were full of surprise, and he looked up at Pei Qian inquiringly, "Don't you want to ask for something for yourself? A title, or the chance to become an official in the court."

Pei Qian pursed his lips, he really said this from the bottom of his heart, and these were indeed what he wanted.

He has never been to an academy since he was a child, but he has read the classics and history collections at home and is familiar with the art of war of various schools. He really wants to have some ambitions.

But because of frailty and sickness, all these have become fantasies.

In the Yan Dynasty, the able ones always lived there, especially after Emperor Wu'an ascended the throne, he could even inherit the title regardless of his heir.

Pei Qian did have this kind of thought before, but he has been growing up in the small courtyard, and all he knows is just on paper, and he has never managed a single soldier, so how can he be the lord of a house, or govern One side of the people.

Although he wanted to, he was self-aware.

Pei Qian said: "These are indeed what I want, but what I want, I will naturally fight for it myself, instead of waiting for others to deliver it to me. After all, it will be a lot less fun."

Pei Mo stared at him deeply, expressionless, even a little unhappy.

Pei Qian pursed the corners of his lips tightly, his heart tightened under such gaze, but he straightened his back, unwilling to show any timidity.

"Hmph, you are very courageous, but just because you dare to threaten Gu, you can move your head."

Pei Qian looked up at him, with the tails of his eyes raised, with a trace of prettyness, "The emperor keeps his promises, so naturally he can't count his words, so how can I threaten you?"

Pei Mo's heart was shocked, at that moment, it was exactly the same, it was her appearance!

But in the blink of an eye, Pei Qian lowered his head, and there was nothing left.

Suddenly, Pei Mo felt a sense of loss. He looked at Pei Qian, and there was no trace of familiarity. Pei Mo laughed at himself in his heart. He was delusional. After all, Pei Qian was somewhat similar to Pei Ye.

Pei Mo was dull for a moment, and said lightly: "Okay, it's up to you."

Pei Qian bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Although it was a thank you, there was no trace of respect, just a routine.

He was kneeling on the ground, thin and weak. Pei Mo had no intention of talking to him anymore, but just warned him, "If it's not yours, it's not yours. No matter how hard you try, it's useless."

"go"

In an instant, Pei Qian felt deeply unwilling and resentful, why, why did you always dislike me since you were a child!

Obviously they are all children of Prince Qi's mansion, so do you hate me so much just because I am not born to the legitimate wife?

He clenched his hands hidden in his sleeves tightly, bit his lower lip, and finally let go of his strength. Didn't he already know this?

The favorite of today's sage is Pei Ye, who has personally held him, fed him, and read books since he was a child. Even princes and daughters can't compete with him, so what is he?

His legs, which had been kneeling for too long, were numb and aching, trembling slightly, Pei Qian gritted his teeth and stood up, and walked out slowly with a calm expression.

After leaving the room, Shrike saw him coming over immediately, Pei Qian secretly grabbed his arm tightly, supporting himself so as not to be noticed.

"Master, go slowly." The father-in-law who invited them to come up from the side lowered his body.

After walking all the way, Pei Qian didn't show any discomfort until he got into the carriage.

Shrike pinched his legs for him, and said: "Young master is uncomfortable, so don't force yourself, just let the little one carry you down, it's uncomfortable for such a small one."

Pei Qian kicked him lightly with his foot, his heart warmed slightly, but he still insisted on speaking hard, saying, "So many words."

Back at the palace, it was already dark.

Pei Qian was about to go back to the small courtyard, but someone came to invite him and said, "Second Young Master, madam, please come over."

Pei Qian suddenly stopped and said nothing.

He hadn't been to Du Qingqing's place for a long time, and Pei Qing even beat him up once because of this, saying that he was not filial.

Pei Qian was only nine years old at that time, but he was the most stubborn when he lay weakly on the bed and did not admit his mistake.

Pei Qian asked him to move to the small courtyard alone to think about his mistakes. Pei Qian only brought the shrike oriole, and two women, and moved there.

She would rather do this than enter Du Qingqing's yard, let alone be called Du Qingqing's mother.Pei Qian seemed to know that he guessed that Du Qingqing was not his mother, so he no longer forced him, but told him to move back, and Pei Qian was unwilling.

After that, nothing happened. Pei Qian never called Du Qingqing's mother, nor went to her place.

At the beginning, Du Qingqing sent someone to invite him several times, but after being rejected by him, he never came again.

Everyone in the house said he was unfilial, but because Pei Qian was vicious, no one dared to say it in front of him.

Pei Qian was indifferent, but the maid was very scared, Nuonuo said: "Second Young Master, it's not in the madam's yard, but in the prince's study... I have something important to tell you."

It wasn't until the maid was about to kneel on the ground that Pei Qian didn't look at her and said, "I see."

Pei Qian turned around and left, the maid was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly followed after seeing that Pei Qian was walking in the direction of the study.

Pei Qing's study is next to the bamboo garden. This is where Pei Qian often went when he was a child. Pei Qing only told him the things that he couldn't move, and he assured him that he could come in and read if he wanted to.

Although Pei Ye likes to read all kinds of books, his favorite is debate.

As for Pei Qian, his favorite books are more miscellaneous, such as a subset of classics and history, country travel notes, picture books and stories, especially military books.

Pei Qing often read these books to Pei Qian.

Turn around a circular flower bed, cross the bamboo bridge, and in front of you is Pei Qing's study.And the maid who called Pei Qian to come back did not know when.

Pei Qian stopped, looked at the lit candles ahead, and said to Shrike who was following behind, "You wait for me here."

No one is allowed to enter Pei Qing's study.

Pei Qian was very curious about what that Princess Qi wanted to say to him, so she insisted on saying it here.

He went alone, bypassing the window to enter through the door.

But when he walked under the window, Pei Qian heard voices talking inside, and Du Qingqing was not the only one inside.
