His Majesty Meow Raises Fish [Rebirth]

After Qiu Wei released the list, the day of the second prince's wedding is getting closer and closer.

The Empress Dowager has kept several princes in Ci'an Palace for meals these days.

Qi Jing understands the deep meaning of the emperor's grandmother's move-her old man is just worried that the princes will gradually drift away after they seal the king and build a mansion, get married and have children, and the brothers will be separated, so they are tied together to deepen their relationship.

The Empress Dowager was born in the Wu family in Xiluan. She was a young husband and wife with the first emperor, and they have a deep friendship. Today, Your Majesty is the first son and the eldest son. Later, he was established as the crown prince logically.

No matter how many sons the first emperor had, they all liked this one the most, so the Qingzhou emperor finally ascended the throne under the careful training of the first emperor.

In contrast, the empress dowager's advantage over the other concubines is too obvious, and she has been taken care of extremely well by the emperor's husband and son.

Although Qi Jing knew what the emperor's grandmother was thinking, it was always like this, and gradually became a little tired of the drama of the brothers and sisters in Ci'an Palace.

He would rather spend a quarter of an hour or half an hour watching Shaoxuan practicing martial arts in a daze, or playing and sleeping with Xiao Shishi for a while, rather than wasting time in a carefully thought-out conversation.

On this day, they were called into the palace, and Qi Jing arrived at the gate of the palace with the fifth and sixth princes who entered the palace at the same time.

The other party is a close brother, he should be alone, but who is Qi Jing, he can entertain himself under any circumstances, and doesn't care about the indifference of the fifth brother and the cynicism of the sixth brother.

When they mentioned filial piety to the Empress Dowager, he seemed to say unintentionally: "The imperial grandmother just said that she likes sweet-scented osmanthus two days ago. I heard a scholar surnamed Meng mention that the Sixth Brother went to Fuyuan to admire the Buddha's crown beads." And jade curtain silver thread, I wonder if I can get a few pots and put them in the Ci'an Palace, so that the emperor's grandmother can smell it."

As soon as Qi Jing mentioned "a scholar surnamed Meng", Qi Zhuo already had a feeling, and when he heard the word "Fuyuan", he immediately restrained his smile.

Compared to the sixth prince with a bad complexion, the fifth prince obviously didn't know, so: "Where did you come from, the scholar, when did you go to Fuyuan?"

Qi Jing's words revealed the fact that the sixth prince had made friends with future civil servants without telling the fifth prince.

——This opportunity is really great, it would be a pity if it could not be used to retaliate!

"It's a scholar named Meng Xiyan. This time Qiu Wei releases the list, he is the top case in Beijing, full of talent."

The seventh prince seemed to think of something, smiled and continued: "When I become a consul like the emperor, I hope to meet such a talented person." Of course talent is not enough, you must have both ability and political integrity!

The sixth prince, Qi Zhuo, heard the other party's words, his temples twitched, and he glanced at the fifth emperor brother from the corner of his eye. Sure enough, seeing the other party looking at him suspiciously, the pressure in his heart suddenly increased.

——This is impossible, how could Qi Laoqi find out about this?

Meng Xiyan was a student of the Imperial Academy that my uncle thought was very likely to pass the exam and enter the Imperial Academy. He was a little arrogant, so he went out of his way to contact him personally.

For the sake of prudence, not to let outsiders find out the clues (including Brother Wu Huang), every time he goes out of the palace, he has to find a way to deal with it, and make sure that he has shaken off the people who are watching him, and only then goes to Fuyuan to meet a few scholars who are interested in making friends.

What Qi Zhuo never expected was that no matter how well he hid it and how many detours he made, it would be useless—because Qi Jing sent someone to guard at the finish line.

……

Ever since he found out that Qi Zhuo had gone to Fuyuan, Qi Jing withdrew his staff back.

Since he doesn't need to know more details, it is obviously unnecessary to spread his hands outside - because as long as he knows that Fuyuan is the stronghold of the sixth prince, it is enough for Qi Laoliu to go around.

Qi Jing waited for this opportunity to reveal the matter in front of the fifth and sixth princes.

In this way, the most important effect of this plan is achieved - the fifth prince must have doubts about himself, the younger brother of the alliance.

In fact, in the last life until the death of the second elder brother in Neihai, the fifth and sixth sons seemed to be close to each other on the surface.

Not only do they have the influence of Concubine Gui and Concubine Shu, but they will also have the help of Prince Feng from Laiyiwei in the future. They have indeed caused a lot of trouble for the second prince and the family, and they are also the most powerful competitors.

Qi Jing is very clear that if he wants to attack this alliance from the outside, let alone a prince who has not yet been crowned king, even the second brother and the power of An Guogong may not be able to do it.

Since they are indestructible, it is necessary to find a way to break down the trust between them from within.

If the fifth prince knew that his good brother was secretly contacting civil servants and military officials, he would understand that the other party was not bent on helping him fight for the heir.

As long as the seeds of doubt are planted in advance, their relationship can be separated earlier.

Of course, although this benefit is crucial, it is also long-term, and I am afraid that no obvious effect will be seen in the near future.

After all, for Brother Wuhuang, even if he knew that the sixth brother had his own tricks, he would not act immediately now. Everything would be after dealing with the second brother.

So what Qi Jing values ​​more now is the second effect of this plan.

With Qi Zhuo's narrow mindedness, when he heard Qi Jing talk about Meng Xiyan, he would definitely be paranoid, thinking that the head of the Meng case wanted to have both sides.

In this way, even if Meng Xiyan won the first prize in the next year's exam, it is impossible for Qi Zhuo to use him without any grievances.

It's just that Qi Jing didn't expect that Qi Lao Liu would be so cautious and let him take advantage of it.

It turned out that it was not easy for Qi Zhuo to go to Fuyuan. Not only did he communicate with Meng Xiyan alone every time, but also deliberately arranged for several scholars to meet each other in order to make them bond with each other.

Since Meng Xiyan was able to tell the Seventh Prince about viewing flowers, he couldn't keep his mouth shut and told Qi Jing about other people.

In other words, Qi Zhuo worked hard for half a year, and he wanted to take advantage of the fact that the second and fifth princes were very busy with the consulate and the seventh prince was not in Beijing to achieve his goal.

He planned carefully, thought over and over again, and was careful, all he wanted was to prepare a few capable ministers for his future reserve... But now it seems that all of them were in vain!

Just because Meng Xiyan made a wrong move, the whole game became useless...Qi Zhuo had the heart to kill Meng Xiyan.

Seeing Qi Laoliu's face getting worse and worse, and the suspicion in Fifth Brother's eyes getting deeper and deeper, Qi Jing's mood is getting better and better.

He talked all the way for a long time, trying to fan the flames. For the first time, he felt that it was such a happy thing to meet and walk with the fifth and sixth.

……

When they got to the door, they met the eldest brother and the second brother who came from Zichen Palace.

Seeing their strange atmosphere, the second prince Qi Heng asked, "What were you talking about just now?"

He is close to Qi Jing, how could he allow others to join hands to snub him.

Seeing that Qi Heng wanted to "find a place" for herself, Qi Jing was happy and at the same time wanted to show off to his second brother that it was actually Qi Laoqi who had the upper hand just now.

But when the words came to his lips, he put on a hippie smile again.

"Brother Liuhuang seems to have a way to get Buddha beads and jade curtain silver thread. Ah Jing wants two pots to please the emperor's grandmother."

Among them, Qi Jing is the youngest if you don't count Xiao Shiyi, and recently he is the most popular with the Empress Dowager. It is not surprising that he said that he wants to please the Empress Dowager.

It's just that the sixth and seventh princes have never dealt with each other. Qi Jing said that he would ask the sixth prince to help, which made people puzzled.

"Buddha beads and jade curtain silver thread... Are they some kind of sweet-scented osmanthus? It doesn't sound like the Qingzhou variety."

The second prince didn't know much about these things on weekdays, so he turned to look at the first prince.

Among the few princes, the only one who doesn't understand these things like him is the elder brother - if the elder brother doesn't know, then he is not considered ignorant.

Hearing the words, the eldest prince really hesitated and said: "Maybe?"

Qi Heng was satisfied, and turned to the seventh brother: "You, put more attention on learning and kung fu, and see if the imperial grandmother is happy."

The second prince was talking about Qi Jing on the surface, but in fact he was beating Qi Zhuo who could really get the precious sweet-scented osmanthus.

A prince, if he doesn't study literature and martial arts well, and goes to admire some sweet-scented osmanthus, no matter how he looks at it, he is not doing his job properly.

Just now Qi Zhuo was still annoyed by the failure of a good chess piece, and he was racking his brains on how to explain it to the fifth brother, but he didn't have much reaction to the second brother's absurdity.

On the contrary, Qi Jing muttered: "Brother Huang, if I go to take a literary test or a military test, I don't know how good I am!"

Qi Heng was amused by his muttering, and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, don't complain, let's go in and say hello to the imperial grandmother."

When he came to the Empress Dowager, Qi Zhuo was afraid that Lao Qi would mention Meng Xiyan's matter again, so he took the initiative to tell the Empress Dowager about the exotic Buddha beads and jade curtain silver thread, but it can be regarded as completely confirming the matter of Fuyuan.

The Queen Mother was happy, Qi Jing was also satisfied, and they worked harder together, and the atmosphere in Ci'an Palace was terribly hot all of a sudden.

After returning home, Qi Jing realized that he had acted too enthusiastically and exerted too much force in the palace, and now he felt a little tired.

Because he stayed late with the emperor brothers, when Qi Jing arrived at the prince's mansion, Xiao Shiyi was already drowsy in the room, and was coaxed by Qi Jing, and immediately fell asleep.

No matter how tired Qi Jing was, he still wanted to take a look at Shaoxuan before going to bed. Seeing that the light was still on in Shaoxuan's room, he knew that the other party was still waiting for him, so he knocked on the door and entered the room with his heart warming.

Shaoxuan, who had already bathed and changed his clothes, was practicing calligraphy before the case in order to wait for Qi Jing. Qi Jing opened the door and came in, so he put down his pen.

After the two talked that day, Qi Jing obviously figured it out, and stopped entangled and moaning.

Looking at his current appearance, Shaoxuan didn't know that the Seventh Prince's wish had come true.

"You didn't see Qi Lao Liu's face," Qi Jing walked to the table, picked up the calligraphy that Shaoxuan had just practiced, and said with a smile: "It's been a month since the second emperor's wedding, let Qi Lao Liu has more things to do, so as not to come out and make trouble."

The daughter of the Gao family of Shangzhu State Mansion failed to marry into the royal family, and the choice of the second prince's concubine was the same as the person Qi Jing remembered in her previous life.

But this time, Ruoli did not go to the second prince's mansion, and one of the side concubines Qi Heng married at the same time also changed the candidate, which shows that some things have changed from the previous life.

In any case, Qi Jing still hopes that everything will go well and see his second brother get married.

Seeing that Shaoxuan had only written half of the last page, he knew that the other party was a master from beginning to end, so Qi Jing helped him straighten the paperweight, and took the pen and handed it to him.

"Go ahead and write, don't worry about me, I'll just watch you write here."

While talking, Qi Jing walked to the chair next to him, and sat in it slumped, with one hand resting on the armrest, propping his chin to look at Shaoxuan.

The beauty under the lamp and the beauty under the moon are obviously fascinating. Qi Jing looked at it, the more she looked, the more beautiful she felt, and then... fell asleep.

Shaoxuan stopped writing, looked back to one side, and found that there was only a pile of clothes left where Qi Jing was originally sitting.

Wiping his hands with the damp cloth on the case table, Shaoxuan walked over gently, and found the sleeping little leopard from the pile of clothes.

Shaoxuan hugged the little leopard into his arms, gently rubbed his chin on the top of its head, and said, "Have a good rest."

The little leopard in his sleep seemed to hear Shaoxuan's voice, rolled in his arms, then babbled, put his little head in the crook of Shaoxuan's arms, and fell asleep more and more deeply.
