happy rebirth

Ke Qi hurried into the Nuan Pavilion.

Xie Jinhua was holding a white piece in his hand and was about to make a piece. After hearing the movement, he looked at Ke Qi and asked, "What's wrong?"

"No, nothing... What are you talking about?" Ke Qi said solemnly, "By the way, do you have any cakes you want to eat? I'll ask the people in the kitchen to prepare them in advance. After all, it's not as convenient as home in Zhuangzi. If you want to eat What has to be said in advance, otherwise the kitchen will not be able to make it temporarily."

"Let them make some simple snacks." Xie Jinhua said.

Ke Qi recalled the scene he saw when he just entered the room. Xie Jinhua and Lou Si were playing chess very seriously, and they probably didn't have the energy to talk about other topics.So he felt relieved, and said with a smile, "Okay, I roughly know what to ask them to prepare."

Ke Qi came suddenly and left quickly.Xie Jinhua turned his attention back to the chessboard.

White fell.

Lou Si suddenly said, "It's hard work, isn't it?"

"What?" Xie Jinhua looked at Lou Si with some puzzlement.However, he quickly realized that Lou Si was actually talking about Ke Qi.Lou Si felt that it would be difficult for Xie Jinhua and Ke Qi to get along.Xie Jinhua couldn't help laughing, and said with unconscious complacency in his tone, "He's always like this...sometimes he just said he misses me not long after we separated, and then he would find various reasons to come see me." He What can be done?Of course you still have to pamper him.

Lou Si nodded empathetically: "Qi Mutou is like this too." Saying that, he dropped a sunspot on the chessboard.

Xie Jinhua is a person who is good at listening. He felt that Lou Si might be full of words and wanted to say something, so he looked at Lou Si silently.

Lou Si sighed deeply, and said, "He always does things that make me laugh and cry." Originally, it was just dumbfounding, but since this big piece of wood got to know Ke Tanhua, it's not just dumbfounding, it's Wood has simply become an older brat!

They were all brought down by Ke Tanhua!

If Ke Qi knew what Lou Si was thinking, he would definitely feel wronged.Because, the routines he taught Editor Qi are obviously very practical routines.Who knew that Editor Qi had given free rein to the actual operation!Sometimes, a student's test scores are too poor, it's really not because the teacher's level is not enough!However, Ke Qi didn't know Lou Si's thoughts, so he couldn't argue.Therefore, in Lou Si's eyes, Ke Qi is a super bear kid who looks stable but is quite unreliable on the inside and can bring down all the good kids from other people's families!

Because of this, Lou Si felt that Xie Jinhua must be working very hard.

There are bear children in the family, won't it become very hard!

Lou Si looked at Xie Jinhua with some sympathy, and said, "If you want to come...Ke Tanhua always makes you dumbfounded, right?"

Xie Jinhua faintly felt a little strange, his children were obviously very well-behaved, okay!But at this time, people regard humility as a virtue. When two parents talk about their children, if one parent keeps saying that their children are not good, then the other parent cannot hold his own children out of politeness. After trying to show off, I have to follow up with a sentence: "Children are the same, and that brat in my family also makes me worry."

Xie Jinhua shook his head and said, "He just... always has one set of fallacies, and I can't say no to him." To be precise, Ke Qi's set of fallacies are all teasing Xie Jinhua. Time keeps coming out, and Xie Jinhua is always so teased by Ke Qi that he can't resist.

Lou Si didn't know that Xie Jinhua had actually spilled dog food again, but felt that Ke Tanhua was indeed a bear in private.

Life in Zhuangzi is actually very comfortable.Xie Jinhua felt very happy when he met his opponent.When it comes to chess, a wily elder like Mu Lao cannot compare to Xie Jinhua in terms of physical strength.And young people like Ke Qi are no match for Xie Jinhua in chess.Therefore, Xie Jinhua has only met two opponents who can make him feel very happy playing chess for a long time, one is Lou Si, and the other is the son of Prince De.

It's a pity that Lou Si cannot be rashly introduced to the crown prince.Xie Jinhua thought so.

On the third day, a messenger from the Qingyang Hou Mansion knocked on the door of the hot spring villa early in the morning.

Something happened again in the capital.

People at this time pay great attention to the festival.The emperor is so diligent, he also stopped writing during the Chinese New Year, and he always wants everyone to have a good New Year.Even if something bad happens somewhere, everyone will tacitly wait until this year is over before talking about it.Therefore, Ke Qi did not expect another accident in the capital.

Ke Qi lives in Zhuangzi, and the news is not very well-informed. At this time, he has to rush to the city as soon as possible.

The weather was too cold, and Ke Qi didn't want Xie Jinhua to suffer, so he asked Xie Jinhua to stay in Zhuangzi, let Editor Qi and Mrs. Lou Si accompany him, and then Ke Qi rushed to Beijing immediately.When he jumped off his horse at the main entrance of Qingyanghou Mansion, his face was almost frozen.

Xie Er was waiting for Ke Qi, and said to Ke Qi quickly: "I only know that something happened in the palace... I didn't find out what happened, and I dare not send someone to continue to find out." After a pause, thank you Er also said: "Yesterday evening, a group of imperial guards surrounded the entire Jia Mansion."

Concubine Liang's surname is Jia, and she is the mother concubine of the fourth prince.The Jia mansion that Xie Er mentioned was Concubine Liang's natal family.

The fifth and sixth princes were all descended from Consort Yuan.The two brothers are only one year apart.

As for the seventh prince, he is a little younger. It is said that he accidentally fell off his horse two months ago, and he is still raising his legs.

The prince rested, and the rest of the princes became lively.Not to mention Prince Rong, the eldest son of the emperor, but the younger princes, the fourth prince, fifth prince, and sixth prince are all at the age of marriage. In this special period, the candidates for the main concubine and side concubine do not have to be carefully selected. ?

Qingyang Hou's Mansion didn't get involved in this pile of things, and neither did the in-laws in the mansion.

"Did the princess send any news, what did she say?" Ke Qi asked.

Xie Er lowered his voice and said: "The princess only asked someone to send four words, still water runs deep."

The extended meaning of still water flowing deep is used to describe people, but the extended meaning is not mentioned, and it is only understood literally. The meaning of the word is to pass through the calm water on the surface and not know how deep the water will be.Princess Deqin is implying that the current situation is far more complicated than everyone thinks.

Xie Er's face was a little numb.There was no sign at all before, who would have thought that something would happen suddenly at the end of the year?

It was obviously a day when the whole family should be happy, but now everyone is worried.

Ke Qi comforted Xie Er and said: "Since the princess said so, we should be more cautious. Second brother, you are right not to ask people to continue to inquire. No matter what happens, we will never be implicated. However, you first Prepare a clever boy, just in case... I mean, in case something happens, you tell him to report to the eldest princess's mansion immediately." The eldest princess has been eating fast and reciting Buddha, how low-key she is, the emperor treats her very well. How guilty.

Although Ke Qi has never met the eldest princess, he doesn't know what kind of heart she is.But after all, he is "a close minister of the Son of Heaven", and based on his understanding of Emperor Karui, the eldest princess' face can be borrowed.Of course, alarming the eldest princess is the next best thing to do, that is the last way out for the Qingyang Hou Mansion.Ke Qi would not do this unless it was absolutely necessary.In other words, once he did this, it would be a critical moment of life and death.

Xie Er said, "I'll make arrangements right away. You go into the house and enjoy the fire."

Because he didn't know what happened in the palace, and he didn't know why the emperor sent troops to surround Jia's mansion, so although Ke Qi came back, he couldn't do anything, he could only sit quietly in the mansion and wait for the situation outside to change.There are still many people in the capital who feel inexplicable like him.Ke Qi called a servant and told him to go to the hot spring villa to send a message. No matter what, Xie Jinhua must stay in the villa and not come back.

In fact, even if Xie Jinhua came back, he couldn't change anything.When Ke Qi thought about the doubts about Xie Jinhua's life experience, he always thought it was a bomb.

The young man took the order and went out immediately.But he came back soon.It turned out that the entire capital city was under martial law.The gates of the city are now easily forbidden to enter and exit.Ke Qi once again realized the seriousness of the matter.However, since the city gate was under martial law, Xie Jinhua really couldn't come back.

The last time the entire city was under martial law, it was just when it was exposed that the rebellious force of Chunyangmen planned to set fire to the examination room.

What is it for this time?

Something happened in the palace, and the natal family of a high-ranking concubine was besieged. Could it be someone who died in the palace?Or if not dead, half dead?

It's useless to think too much, but Ke Qi couldn't help himself not to think too much.He rushed back to Xie's mansion around noon, and in the afternoon, Prince De and his son were ordered to enter the palace.The eldest daughter of the Xie family is the concubine of Prince De, if something bad happens to Prince De, the Xie family will definitely be involved.

The men of Xie's mansion were all sitting around a stove.

Xie Er took a look at Lord Xie, and asked Ke Qi, "Should I send someone to Prince De's mansion to find out the news?"

"Yes." Ke Qi said, "However, let's not have too much hope, I guess we won't be able to find out anything." Ordinarily, the Qingyang Hou Mansion should remain unchanged for all changes, but Prince De is the Xie Mansion after all. Son-in-law, if the Xie family doesn't do anything, it will appear that something is wrong with them.Therefore, they should indeed send someone to Xiade Prince's Palace.But based on Ke Qi's understanding of Princess Deqin, I'm afraid they won't be able to get any news.

The people sent went there, and they returned soon, only saying that the door of Prince De's mansion has been closed tightly, and no one will entertain anyone who comes to the door.

The atmosphere in the room was a little heavy.Xie San dialed the charcoal fire and asked, "Then what should we do now?"

"One word, wait." Ke Qi said.

Xie San nodded, and asked someone to deliver some sweet potatoes, stuffing them into the stove.

"Third, what are you doing?" Marquis Xie asked.

Xie Sanyang said triumphantly: "Roast sweet potatoes! Anyway, we have nothing to do now, so I'll bake sweet potatoes for everyone to eat, hehe. The weather this year is really too cold." Xie San mixed with them, and now he has mastered a lot of skills.

"Eat, eat, eat, eat, eat at any time!" Xie Houye said bitterly.

Half an hour later, the aroma of sweet potatoes filled the whole room.

Master Xie immediately changed his words, and said with a smile on his face: "Eat, eat, eat, this is the time, let's eat together."

Xie San said weakly: "Father...not yet."
