Green tea sick beauty after whitening

After Qu Xiao came out from Qu Chang's place, he returned to his study.

He wanted to take a look at the official documents accumulated when he was not in the capital recently, but when he brushed the bookshelf with his fingers, what he took out was a "San Zi Jing".

Cao Xian, his confidant, came in to make tea for him. Upon seeing this, he said, "This book was taught to the young master himself when the young master was enlightened, and he has kept it for fifteen or sixteen years. Later, even the second young master never got you." Teach it personally, the master still loves the young master in his heart."

Qu Xiao smiled and put the book back: "For me, he is naturally different. He is not my biological child, but he is my first child and the child I loved the most. I want to give him the best, and after I get used to it, I can’t change it.”

Cao Xian's eyes flashed, and he said: "I also remember that when the young master was young, Mrs. Xian was also there. You and her took the young master to learn to walk in the yard. There was always laughter and laughter in the mansion, but now It's much cooler."

These words were obviously good words, but the smile on Qu Xiao's face gradually sank.

He said lightly: "At that time, I thought that Lantai was really my own son... But I thought too much, a poor boy, what reason does he have to let the grand master's daughter, Qingyan, marry him?"

Cao Xian lowered his eyes and stopped talking, Qu Xiao turned and returned to his desk: "Well, after all, it's the love between father and son for so many years, as long as he doesn't cause trouble for me and is willing to do something to relieve boredom, then let him go The left and right Lu family are short-sighted, and the climate is not long."

Not long after Qu Xiao left, Qu Changlu also stood up and said, "I want to go out to relax, and if there are fewer people to follow, I will be more upset."

After saying that, he went out, wandered around the mansion for a while, made a big circle, and then turned around the bamboo bridge in the garden, "accidentally" passing by a small remote courtyard.

The door of the courtyard was open, and there were two little girls of fourteen or fifteen years old sitting in the doorway, one master and one servant, who were doing needlework.

Qu Changlu stopped and looked at them.

The little girl looked up and saw that it was Qu Changcheng, she quickly put down the needle and thread in her hand and stood up, and called out respectfully: "Brother."

The maidservant beside her showed a startled expression, and quickly followed suit, not even daring to raise her head tremblingly.

Qu Xiao did not have many heirs, only two sons and one daughter. The eldest son, Qu Changcheng, and the second son, Qu Changqing, were both descended from his two successive wives. The only daughter, Qu Rong, was descended from a concubine.

Her biological mother was an aunt of Qu Xiao, and Princess Qingchang died of illness not long after she passed away. It is conceivable that this little girl's life in the mansion was not very easy.

Therefore, Qu Rong's maid also respected and feared this noble and indifferent eldest son, and dared not look directly at him.

Qu Changsheng gave a "hmm" and asked casually, "Father is back, why don't you go see him?"

Qu Rong said: "I'm afraid my father is busy, so I haven't dared to disturb him yet."

Qu Zhang took the lead and said: "When you are free at night, make some snacks and go to the study. It is also your duty as a son and daughter. As the Prime Minister of a country, if you are busy all your life, why don't you go see him for the rest of your life?"

When he talked to a little girl like Qu Rong, he was also very harsh and unreasonable. Qu Rong just bowed her head and said yes, and the two siblings walked into the yard casually while talking.

In Miss's courtyard, Qu Chang's followers naturally didn't dare to enter indiscriminately. The maid who was saluting just now had to stand where she was before Qu Chang's call.

There were only two brothers and sisters left around, and Qu Chang's voice was a little lower: "If you see your father, if he asks you, do you like to follow the eldest brother, what would you say?"

Qu Rong opened her mouth slightly, glanced at Qu Zhang in horror, and then answered in a low voice:

"I just said, elder brother is always cold and doesn't talk to me very much. I'm afraid of him. But sometimes when I go to elder brother's place, housekeeper Liu will prepare snacks and meals for me. I like it very much."

Qu Changlu nodded and said: "If you say that, it's like telling him that Princess Qingchang has treated you badly. If father asks again, what will you say?"

Qu Rong was stunned: "Brother, I..."

Qu Chang negative said: "If you are afraid of saying the wrong thing, just keep your head down and don't speak, he will naturally think of the answer for you. In short, just remember, as long as in your heart, the most admired and close person in this mansion is your father, that's fine. "

Qu Rong was very smart, so she remembered Qu Chang's words, and asked cautiously: "Brother, you said that the next draft...will father want to send me into the palace?"

Qu Changcheng sneered, and said: "It's a good idea, but I can't get in."

After finishing speaking, he ignored his little sister and turned to leave.

Qu Rong followed two steps and then stopped at the same spot. Although there seemed to be no comfort and warmth in her brother's words, it was just these few short sentences that made her feel extremely at ease.

It seems that seeing this thin and thin figure, all the worries and worries in the world will not hurt me.

On that day, the prime minister's mansion held a banquet, and the soldiers and horses of the five cities searched for the assassins, only to find that the three princes had broken into Mr. Qu's room, and the news quickly spread among the capitals.

Everyone has a heart for gossip, and the identities of the people involved in this matter are all extraordinary. Everyone dare not discuss it publicly, but there are many speculations secretly.

Some people guessed what rare treasures the Qu family was hiding, some said that the site of Mr. Qu's house used to be a secret road from the former dynasty, and more people vividly described the expressions of the prince, King Jing and King Wei at that time.

Everyone said that the crown prince was majestic, King Jing was cold, and King Wei was cynical and moody, but at that time they all showed kindness and kindness to Young Master Qu that they had never seen before.

It was common for men in Ying Kingdom to fall in love, and romantic affairs were more interesting than unconstrained guesses about secret treasures.

Qu Zhang is a talented man with a legendary deeds. It would make sense to say that several princes are favored by him, so he is very popular.

Even the fact that Qu Changshou replaced all the furniture in the room with new ones afterwards was quietly joked about.

However, the Lu family, which suffered a great misfortune in this matter, was secretly planning revenge and recovery.

Under this situation of calm on the surface and turmoil on the inside, it was the day when Liang Guo's envoys came to visit again.

Among the current situation in the world, the Kingdom of Ying is located in the Central Plains and is the most prosperous and prosperous country, followed by the country of Liang, which is relatively rich.

The two countries did not have many exchanges before, but they were both adjacent to the Xiqiang. In recent years, the Xiqiang has frequently moved and invaded.

Therefore, in order to strengthen the relationship and jointly guard against foreign enemies, the Kingdom of Ying and the Kingdom of Liang married each other and sent hostages to each other, and envoys visited regularly to conduct various mutually beneficial exchanges.

The status of the envoys sent by Liang Guo is not low, and the envoy is the third son of the emperor of Liang Guo. His surname is Li, and his single name is Chun.

The deputy envoys accompanying him, one named Wan Guankui and the other named Jiang Kun, were also relatives of the emperor, so it could be seen that they valued him.

In this way, the Kingdom of Ying must treat him with the same sincerity. Emperor Longyu personally received him, and not only held a few days of banquets to entertain the envoy, but also held hunting trips for fun.

On occasions like this, even when Qu Changlu had no official position before, as a child of a family, he was also eligible to accompany him.

It's just that he was not in good health at that time, so he didn't attend, so it was the first time for Qu Changlu to come to the royal hunting ground outside the capital.

When it was almost noon, a group of people got out of the carriage, and Qu Changlu raised his hand to block the sun that was too hot on the grassland.

Boys like him basically came here on horseback, enjoying the sizing and discussion of the ladies in a heroic manner, while Qu Changcheng was lazy as long as he could, and didn't show his strength.

But even so, a lot of purse handkerchiefs were thrown on his carriage along the way.

Qu Chang negative glanced forward, the land is vast, the sky is high and the clouds are vast, compared to being in the bustling capital, it seems that this place is more relaxing.

Together with Liang Guo's envoys, they camped here, and because the emperor wanted to show the prosperity of Ying Kingdom in all aspects, this safari was even more extreme.

Even some of the female relatives came with them, and they selected noble ladies who were good at bowing and horses, as well as several favored concubines. In terms of etiquette and restraint, they were much more relaxed than those in the capital.

It was rare for these boudoir women to be so free and at ease. They took advantage of the fact that the large army was still camping, and they wandered around on the grassland one after another.

Just as Qu Chang was about to go back to the tent, a kite with a broken string fluttered down from the sky and landed not far from his feet.

Xiao Duan and Xiao Wu were afraid that he would be hit, so they stood in front of Qu Changlong together.

Qu Changlu stood still, looked up, and saw a young maid hurriedly running over, but did not approach, and shouted at him from a distance: "My lord, please help us Will the imperial concubine pick up the kite?"

Qu Chang negative knew it, it wasn't that the kite was accidentally dropped, it was Concubine Li who wanted to see him.

Concubine Li is the biological mother of the crown prince and also Lu Yan's aunt. In the previous life, Qu Zhangzhang did not have much dealings with her, and Concubine Li treated him very politely.

It's just that this time, he already belonged to a different camp from Qi Hui, and he tormented the Lu family enough, Concubine Li was afraid that the visitor would be unkind.

Qu Changshou went with the little maid, only to see that Concubine Li was still the same, even if she was away from home, she still refused to let go of the imperial concubine's pomp.

In such a short period of time, the tent has been re-arranged gracefully and luxuriously, and the incense is wafting. When you walk in, it seems to be no different from being in the palace.

The serving maid invited Qu Changcheng to go in, but Concubine Li was scolding another beautiful woman, and Qu Changcheng stood aside and waited.

Concubine Li sneered and said: "... I saw you five times, and you said you were sick three times. I didn't want to, but I followed this prairie together. Look at me, this illness is not serious. A lowly servant girl, relying on the emperor's good looks for you, in your heart, you don't even have a sense of dignity?"

Her tone of reprimanding servants has always been extremely severe, but the woman didn't seem to be very scared, and when she raised her head, her eyes were like ice and snow.

She asked back: "Since the empress knows that the emperor treats slaves differently and still makes things difficult like this, won't you be afraid that the emperor will be offended in the future?"

Qu Changcheng had already heard that Concubine Li's words were a bit accusatory, and he didn't care too much, but he didn't expect that this maid had some meaning.

Sweeping his eyes over the other party, he found that the girl looked familiar.

Concubine Li said angrily: "Bold slave! I want you to see if I can deal with you! Come, give her to me—"

"Your Majesty." Qu Changlu said suddenly, "Your Majesty Rong said something more. Your Majesty entertained the envoys from foreign courts. Today is the first day of camp. If you see blood rashly, I'm afraid it will make Sacred Heart unhappy."

Concubine Li paused for a moment, as if she had just seen Qu Zhang, she calmed down and said, "Is this Master Qu? You are so neglectful, Bi Liu, why don't you show your seat quickly?"

She spoke with disgust on her face again, and said to the maidservant: "Go back to your tent, from today onwards, copy a thousand volumes of scriptures, and don't let me see you again!"

The woman didn't say anything, she glanced at Qu Zhang, bowed and left.

Concubine Li then turned her head to look at Qu Changcheng.

According to Princess Changding, the prince's recent behavior is different from usual because he is attracted to the man in front of him.

After listening to her description, Concubine Li thought that Qu Changshou was that kind of weak and decadent dandy from aristocratic family, but she didn't think that the other party was very handsome, but he looked arrogant and indifferent, with a snow-like appearance, so he was very difficult to get close to.

It was not easy for her to meet foreign men in the harem, so she found an opportunity.

In order to avoid suspicion, the curtains of the tents are all hung up, so that the inside situation can be seen from the outside at a glance.

Concubine Li put away the surprise in her eyes and said, "Master Qu picked up this beloved kite for me today. I would like to thank you very much. I heard that lord and Hui'er are very good friends?"

Qu Zhang looked indifferent, he only bowed slightly, and said: "Chang Ling has lived in the mansion for a long time, the crown prince is a noble man, and I have very little contact with him, so we can't say we are familiar with him."

Concubine Li didn't expect him to answer like this, she was startled, and said: "But I often hear Huier mention you."

Qi Hui's temperament has always been rational and almost unreasonable, and he is never soft when he uses people. If he is not familiar with him, how could he do stupid things for the sake of Qu Zhang that even the Lu family would abandon?

She didn't want to admit that everything was just wishful thinking of her proud son.

Qu Chang negative frowned slightly, lowered his head and coughed twice, showing a slender neck and thin shoulders.

He said: "It's the honor of the prince to love you."

Concubine Li smiled slightly, and said, "Master Qu, you don't have to be humble. Hui'er values ​​you so much, it must be because you have something special about you. If you two get along well, support each other, and go through the storm together, it's a good thing. The palace will also support it."

The Lu family hoped that Concubine Li would take action against Qu Changshou, but she had her own selfish intentions. The other party's methods were so powerful that it was obviously better to use them for her own use.

As for this kind of verbal promise, Zuo Qihui wanted to marry a wife and have children, and if he liked a man, he could let him go, so what?

A sneer flashed in Qu Chang's eyes, and he smiled with unknown meaning, and said, "Forget it, ma'am."

Concubine Li and what he said were similar to those in her previous life. She always wanted to use this method to trap herself in Qi Hui's life, but she didn't know that Qu Chang's purpose was completely different from what she had imagined.

Concubine Li was startled: "What did you say?"

"Don't you hear that 'life is busy, short-term and long-term, but it is not said that prosperity and decline are countless, gains and losses are incalculable'." 1"

Qu Changlu stood up, somewhat contemptuously, somewhat pitifully: "Your Majesty has never realized that no matter whether in the harem or in the court, all the noble positions are given by the emperor. Your Majesty is not qualified to be a make no promises, and your bait, my lord, is not interested."

He bowed lightly, and said gracefully: "The minister will leave."

"Wait!"

Seeing Qu Changcheng turned around to leave, Concubine Li stopped him suddenly, and the pendant on the stroller shook slightly.

She said word by word: "Master Qu, do you know what you just said? Are you not interested in the prince?"

Her voice became colder: "If you are wholeheartedly planning for the prince and dealing with the Lu family, this palace can tolerate it. But if you don't want to stand by our side, you are the enemy that hinders my son's future. It is impossible to write off the account!"

During the conversation in a few words, she could already feel that if a person like Qu Changlu couldn't be used, he must be killed.

Qu Chang negative smiled slightly, said indifferently, "Whatever you want."

And at this moment, outside the open tent, suddenly, like a meteor chasing the moon, a sharp arrow shot in!

The female relatives in the tent screamed in fright, Qu Zhang negative saw at a glance that the arrow was not aimed at him, so he did not move.

I saw that the strength and angle of the arrow's tip was controlled to the extreme, and it lightly touched the bead curtain between Concubine Li and Qu Changlong, and the curtain of pearls scattered with a "crash", smashing all over the place. Both are.

The arrow was not exhausted, and it was hitting the corner of Concubine Li's skirt, making her startled, and she suddenly raised her head to look out.

The sound of hoofbeats, neighing, and the sound of people on horseback jumping off the ground lightly.

The tall young man in riding attire was carrying a longbow, but after a while he appeared outside the tent.

With the handle of his bow, he gently pushed the maid at the door away, kicked the beads off the ground and walked in, looking extremely arrogant and careless.

Concubine Li was really terrified, and said sharply, "King Jing, what are you doing?!"

Jing Qianjiang looked around the tent, confirming that Qu Changlu should not have suffered any grievances, the anger in his heart subsided a little, he raised his eyebrows and smiled indifferently: "Accidentally missed the shot, my lady, don't blame me."

He pointed to the little maid next to him, and said arrogantly: "Go, get the arrow back for this king."

His tone was completely insincere, and Concubine Li said angrily: "Presumptuous! You are too unruly!"

Jing Qianjiang squinted at her, and said with a sneer: "Concubine Li, please take a look at who is standing in front of you. The word 'presumptuous' is not for you to talk to this king."

He is so lawless, but Concubine Li has nothing to do. If this is an ordinary prince, she needs to be called concubine mother, and she can still reprimand her. However, King Jing is the only child of the former prince, and his status is very precious.

He himself has made great military exploits, and it is rumored that he is secretly protected by some old forces left by the former prince. Even if the emperor may have suspicions about him, he is more fond of him now. With such an identity, Concubine Li can't provoke him at all.

She had hit a wall today, and her luck was extremely bad, so she could only silently admit that the little palace maid had picked up arrows for King Jing, and seeing that he was not good enough, she left ostentatiously.

When passing by Qu Chang's side, Jing Qianjiang tilted his head and smiled and said, "Master Qu is leaving too, are you going with me?"

Qu Changlu nodded slightly, and the two left Concubine Li's tent together.

"He, he, they..."

Concubine Li pointed at the backs of the two of them, she was so angry that she couldn't even speak, she suddenly realized: "This King Jing came here just because of Qu Changcheng, right? Could it be that he also has plans to win over this person?"

Thinking of this, Concubine Li felt even more annoyed and anxious.

Originally, I thought that agreeing to support Qu Chang's relationship with Qi Hui was the best reward for him, but I didn't expect this kid to be quite popular, no wonder his attitude was so tough, and he dared to say that he was not interested in her son.

She turned around and said hurriedly and in a low voice: "Call Princess Changding to my palace!"

After he came out, Jing Qianjiang's face darkened, he looked up and down Qu Chang's shoulders, and asked: "She didn't make things difficult for you, did she? You ate and drank tea at her place, are you feeling unwell? "

Qu Chang said negatively: "Your Highness, you are too nervous. This is doubting my ability, and I want to express my dissatisfaction."

Jing Qianjiang was silent, then let go of Qu Chang's shoulders, and said, "Indeed."

In fact, his heart is very cold and hard. When he was a teenager, he was not nervous when he encountered troubles in the clan. Afterwards, he galloped on the battlefield, going back and forth among the blood and bones, and never lost his composure.

Only Qu Chang negative...

When facing Qu Changcheng, he has been restraining his various instinctive reactions and desires. In his last life, he wanted to leave Baiyi and return to the capital, and he wanted to help Qi Hui ascend the throne. He just waited and waited all the way. Chase with you.

But if you suppress it for too long, it will be difficult to control your true mood, especially after experiencing life and death.

No matter how much he pays and how much he hurts, if it is this person, he is willing to bear it.

But things like feelings are hard to control, the deeper the love, the harder it is to let go.

Jing Qianjiang can no longer bear to see the other party get hurt in any way, and he can no longer bear him to leave his side, working hard for others but being let down.

The figure that once thought that heaven and man are separated forever is within reach, and the desire to hug her tightly and never let go surges in her chest.

This time, his sweetheart, he wants to cherish it well and never let it go again.

Just wanting to impress Qu Changshou still needs a lot, a lot of patience and hard work.

Jing Qianjiang said without hesitation: "To be honest, I have experienced what happened in my previous life. I will be very wary of anyone who has anything to do with Qi Hui. I can't bear the price of repeating the same mistakes."

He glanced forward, then opened his bow suddenly, put the arrow on it again, slowly raised his arm, and aimed at Qu Changying's back: "Look, everyone is here."

Qu Chang looked back and saw that it was Qi Hui who was coming. The guards beside him saw that King Jing seemed to be aiming at the prince, they were shocked and raised their swords one after another, shouting to block Qi Hui.

Jing Qianjiang laughed out loud, and mocked: "Look at the stupidity of these people, a bunch of weak bones!"

He put down his bow: "You probably have something to tell him, I won't bother you."

Jing Qianjiang paused, then said in a low voice: "Be careful yourself, take care of yourself. Don't...don't be coaxed by others."

The voice of the last sentence was weak, as if he was a little embarrassed to say it again, Qu Zhang raised his eyebrows to look at him, but Jing Qianjiang lowered his head, did not greet Qi Hui, raised his cloak, got on his horse and left.
