empress and princess

After a few days of such calm, several news came within three days.

For example, Doctor Zhou of the Chu State stole public land, sold officials and nobles privately, boiled salt privately, etc... The crimes are too numerous to record, and the crime is unforgivable.

It has been more than a month since Qin Tangjing came to Chu State, and several powerful factions in the DPRK and China knew everything about it.

This week the Zhou family supported the King of Chu, and there was no one behind the King of Chu, so how could he be willing to get rid of him, he must have been forced to do nothing.

At first glance, it looks like the eldest princess is generous.

In the backyard of the palace, the two 'uncles and nephews' quarreled endlessly over this matter while playing chess.

"Uncle Huang, you haven't seen how Zhou's nephew surnamed Deng bullies the people. The top beam is not upright and the bottom is crooked to teach such a country moth. If you get rid of it one day earlier, the people will be persecuted one day less."

"That being said," Qin Jiufeng sighed, but shook his head: "But it's not the time yet, it depends on the owner to beat a dog."

"You think it's going to backfire?"

"That depends on how successful your alienation plan is."

"Isn't this a good thing? The differences between the brothers and sisters are getting bigger and bigger, and the situation in Chu State is getting more and more tense. I have to thank the eldest princess for her help."

"Do you think the eldest princess would be so stupid? Something must have happened to let her get rid of the Zhou family at the risk of being suspected by the king of Chu." Qin Jiufeng speculated frankly.

"What can happen recently?"

Having said that, Qin Jiufeng tilted his head and thought about it seriously:

"Maybe not."

"Then maybe, the Zhou family's crimes can't even be tolerated by the eldest princess, so take action?"

"It's also possible."

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to guess. There is no need to pay attention to the internal affairs of Chu." Qin Tangjing held the white piece and dropped it on the plate. Qin Jiufeng suddenly beamed with joy:

"Ha, eat your son!"

"Hey, hey, do it again," Qin Tangjing said anxiously, blocking the little emperor uncle, "Regret the game, the lonely king won't make this move."

Qin Jiufeng was dissatisfied: "As a king, how dare you regret the game, dare to do it or not."

"Why are you embarrassed?" Qin Tangjing diligently picked up the eaten piece, "I can't eat my skin."

"No wonder the maid of the eldest princess called you shameless."

Qin Tangjing sneered: "Let them scold them, it doesn't hurt anyway, it doesn't matter."

This is the description of a king, his skin is thicker than a city wall, and he doesn't take everything seriously, Qin Jiufeng is speechless.

But seeing the arrogance and self-confidence in the eyebrows of the imperial niece, she is as frivolous as she was when she was young, but the difference is that she suffered a loss in the end, and the price was heavy. She did not want the imperial niece to go to her because of carelessness the old way.

"Little Huangshu, it's your turn. Why are you so engrossed in your thoughts?"

With a hand waving in front of her eyes, Qin Jiufeng said calmly, "Thinking of you peeing your pants when you were young."

"...Little Uncle Huang!"

"Didn't you say that the skin can't be eaten? Are you embarrassed now?"

Qin Tangjing's cheeks flushed, and he raised his hand to thump the little emperor's uncle on the shoulder, "The lonely king ordered you not to mention the old things in the past."

"Okay, okay, I obey the order." Qin Jiufeng smiled with eyes full of pampering.

Because of concessions, after a few games, Qin Jiufeng didn't lose too badly, and Qin Tangjing also had a hard time winning, but she knew that she was no match for Little Huangshu, so she wouldn't lose too badly in the end.

At this moment, Qin Jiufeng calmly mentioned:

"It's been a month, and the matter has not been resolved. The longer we stay in Chu, the greater the danger. There are still two days left. What do you think?"

"In the opinion of the little emperor?" He habitually threw the question back to her.

Qin Jiufeng pondered, and replied: "Twenty cities, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."

"Well, it's really embarrassing." It hurts how much blood and sweat you have to lose to win a city, and give it to others for nothing.

"Once the Eldest Princess goes to the State of Song and adds to the icing on the cake for the State of Song, it will be difficult for us to unify the world in the future."

"So, we can't advance or retreat?"

A long princess confused the emperor of Qin and a generation of war gods.

Qin Tangjing's temperament was unwilling to admit defeat, so naturally he couldn't let it go, he had to find something back.

"The world has been in war for hundreds of years, and there have been many kings who shocked the world, but in the end, no one ruled the world. Therefore, I feel that a princess of the Chu Kingdom is nothing to be afraid of."

"What does Uncle Huang mean, let's just let it go?"

"You are the king, and all the ministers listen to you."

"Let the lonely king think again." Qin Tangjing fell into deep thought.

An inexplicable feeling seemed to tell her that Chu Huaimin must be brought back, whether coaxed or neglected, it was better than putting it in Chu or Song.After the two weighed the pros and cons, they thought about sending twenty cities to the Chu State, and felt heartbroken. Cities are not money, and they will be given as long as they say...

Qin Jiufeng looked up at the sky, then retracted the black and white chess pieces, and patted her on the shoulder:

"Jihuang, the time is coming, we should enter the palace, then... wait until the palace banquet, you can decide before it's too late."

we can only do this.

Today is the last day, and tomorrow we should leave for Qin.

About half an hour later, Qin Shi and his party came out of the palace on their own. Song Rong, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Qin Tangjing and immediately laughed. He stepped forward and saluted Qin Jiufeng:

"I have seen the Ninth Prince."

"Why is the third prince here?" Qin Jiufeng glanced at the imperial niece.

"I live not far in front of you, and I came here to enter the palace with you. I also heard that you will go back tomorrow. I think it will be difficult to see each other again in the future, so come and see you again." Song Rong said, looking at Qin Tangjing, His eyes are gentle with a smile.

"Don't talk nonsense, let's go." Qin Tangjing knew it but didn't answer the question vaguely. The attendant led the horse and turned over.

The third prince came to the palace to look for the emperor's niece. Qin Jiufeng met Song Rong a few times, but had little conversation with her. Now that he was close, his eyes were easy to measure and it was easy to find clues.

The third prince's face is like a jade crown, his skin is delicate, his throat is smooth, and his figure doesn't look like a man... but looks like a beautiful lady.

"Lord Nine, please." Song Rong turned sideways to avoid Qin Jiufeng's gaze.

She said: "Third prince please first."

Song Rong smiled: "Okay."

The two were very polite, Qin Tangjing didn't care about their politeness, and drove the horse forward on his own.

Song Rong quickly caught up and called her "Fairy". Qin Tangjing waved his folding fan and turned his head. Song Rong pointed to a certain place in the street and grinned: "We met here."

"Oh." Qin Tangjing turned around.What I thought was the first time I met Chu Huaimin, it was at the competition stage...

Song Rong's eyes darkened, "Will we meet again?"

"will not."

Answered crisply.

Qin Jiufeng was stunned when he heard it later, the peach blossom debt was really wiped out.

"Why?"

It seems that the third prince has the drive to break the casserole and ask the end.

Qin Tangjing had a rare stern expression, turned to look at her, and said in a calm voice, "You and I just met by chance, and I'm not interested in you. No matter how hard you try, it will be useless to you. Why don't you do something interesting, or find someone else."

"Do something interesting?" Song Rong read this sentence in a low voice, and suddenly smiled, "I understand."

"Just understand." Qin Tangjing rode his horse forward a few steps, not wanting to be entangled.

From a distance, Qin Tangjing thought of something and turned to Song Rong and said, "However, we can be friends."

only friends?Song Rong wanted to ask this question, but he was too far away to get an answer.

Song Rong felt dejected, and when he saw Qin Jiufeng approaching his side, he asked, "Lord Nine, I wonder what kind of person the Princess likes?"

Qin Jiufeng looked at the back of the imperial niece, and smiled calmly: "She likes the person she likes."

Song Rong was silent, and asked after a while: "Is it the eldest princess?"

"I don't know, maybe, maybe not, who knows."

Anyway, not like you.

After the envoys of the two countries entered the palace, before they parted, it was still early and the palace banquet had not yet begun.

Song Rong returned to normal, turned his head and whispered to Qin Tangjing: "I propose to Chu State on behalf of Song State. Do you think the eldest princess will go with you, or will I be the successor of Song State?"

Such words sound provocative.

Qin Tangjing looked proudly: "The third prince is very confident?"

"Of course, there was no decision last time. After tonight, the hall will definitely return with a full load, and you will leave empty-handed."

"Really?" Qin Tangjing narrowed his eyes.

"It's still the same sentence, each according to its own ability." Song Rong paused, then said softly, "The Eldest Princess has a nature that is not right with you, so why should you be persistent, even if you like, you can't get together."

"Qin Jihuang, I treat you sincerely. I don't seek fame and fortune, but only seek a loving family."

Suddenly, Song Rong got closer again, and inserted his fingertips into her fingertips, intending to clasp his fingers tightly, such an intimate gesture...

Qin Tang paused for a moment, couldn't bear being approached again and again, broke away from Song Rong's hand, and found an excuse to get away immediately.

She is like this, and she will not be polite to people who are not her favorite.

Kill a ray of life.

After entering the deep palace, seeing the heavily guarded guard Qin Tangjing suddenly changed his mind, caught a maid and asked the eldest princess whereabouts tactfully, and set off with the purpose.

But for convenience, Qin Tangjing dressed herself as a maid.

Passing by the patrolling guards, she would be questioned alone. Fortunately, there was a team of maids next to her. She followed in silently, and she didn't know where she was. She only heard the leading nun say:

"What are you dawdling about, why don't you quickly take the princess's clothes in."

As soon as she heard "Elder Princess", Qin Tangjing's eyeballs rolled around, and she would pick it up when others offered her, and followed them into a certain hall.

"Why are you so slow? No one can afford to delay the palace banquet."

A familiar face suddenly came into sight, it was Chu Huaimin's personal maid, Qin Tangjing hurriedly lowered his head to avoid being recognized by her.

After a while, Chu Huaimin stepped out from behind the screen.

"What time is it?"

"Return to Your Highness, it's just past You hour." The maid responded.

"Have the Qin envoys and Song envoys arrived?"

"Feiyun Temple just received news that everyone has arrived, but I haven't seen the rogue princess."

Chu Huaimin twisted the silk sash casually, paused for a while, hummed lightly, and stopped talking. The maid quickly took off her outer skirt, but at this moment Qin Tangjing secretly raised her head...

She is sideways, with a long and slender body, long black hair soft and waist-length, slender fragrant shoulders, a delicate and straight nose connected to her chin, red lips a little red, two curved eyebrows like ink paintings, and the mist overflowing from the screen surrounds her , as if you were in a fairyland, you only wished for a painting of a peerless fairy and beauty, but you were stunned for a moment.

Chu Huaimin was vigilant, as if he felt a stare that was too hot, he subconsciously turned his head along the man's position to catch the hidden pupils.

Bright and familiar.

Then he stopped all his movements and only stared at that person.

"You." Chu Huaimin pointed to the 'maid' who was the lowest in the team, "Come here and change clothes for me."
