The Prince of Rebirth

"What's the meaning of this?"

"Heh, why do you think my mother would take me out of the palace when I was born?"

Xia Jin suddenly felt that she had touched something she shouldn't have touched.

"To avoid the queen?"

He Zheng shook his head.

"Concubines in the palace?"

He Zheng still shook his head.

"The queen mother?"

He Zheng looked at Xia Jin with pity and said:

"You either have a bad brain, or you are more courageous than a moron."

Xia Jin gritted her good teeth.

"It's such a risk to take me out. If you are not careful, you will not be able to replace me. Although those people were considered a threat back then, they didn't force the concubine mother to take this risky move."

"Is it Lin Fangmiao?"

"You're really out of your mind."

Xia Jin continued to grit her teeth.

"It's the emperor."

Xia Jin was in a mess, but thinking about it, she could indeed find clues. When Xia Jin was still in the hot spring Zhuangzi, the emperor dared to let He Zheng bring so few people in to find out the details. It wasn't someone else, it was the Lin family who dared to kill the eldest prince directly and still escape unscathed. Sending the eldest of their only remaining sons to the wolf's mouth like this is not something ordinary people can do.Furthermore, when Concubine Hui hosted the birthday banquet, Princess Ximan was the one who made a big splash. On the surface, the birthday banquet was for the imperial concubine's birthday, but in reality, everyone could see that it was for He Zheng to choose a wife. It's not normal for someone with Western barbarian blood, who is the least contagious, to appear on such an occasion, not to mention that someone specially designed how to show her off.

In the past three years, the emperor also had the faint intention of promising Princess Ximan to He Zheng as the concubine. At first, Xia Jin couldn't figure it out, but now she has figured it out.

"I am not the emperor's own child. My concubine was pregnant with me when she married into the palace, but everyone who knew about it at that time was killed by the emperor. Although he promised that he would not kill me, my mother How can the concubine feel relieved, that's why she desperately sent me out of the palace."

"Then why did you pick you up again later?"

"Zhuanya stayed in the palace for seven years without being assassinated by the emperor. The mother and concubine should feel relieved, and what's more..."

"What's more, the eldest prince died and you became the biggest prince. Is the imperial concubine empress thinking about fighting for the throne?"

Xia Jin sneered, and He Zheng also nodded helplessly. A man may allow a woman to wear a cuckold for him. After all, this cuckold was already there before he got married. Wan couldn't stand someone who was not of royal blood coveting his throne, so after Concubine Hui took He Zheng back, that is, when she began to intervene in the heir to the throne, the emperor began to want to remove the threat of He Zheng.

"What is the imperial concubine's plan? She clearly knows that the emperor knows that you are not of royal blood, but she still wants to swim in this muddy water. If the emperor is really forced to reveal the matter, the He family will be wiped out!"

That woman was already crazy beyond Xia Jin's imagination. It was really hard to believe that the person who appeared to be gentle and decent but actually had a heavy heart would make such a move.

"It's easy for you to say, but if you were in that position, you would probably choose the same path. The temptation of the throne is not as easy as you think."

Hearing that, Xia Jin has a bit of understanding. Indeed, if the temptation of the throne is not strong, there will not be so many people fighting for it throughout the ages until their families are ruined. Its temptation is enough to make anyone crazy.

"What about you? Want to get involved too?"

He Zheng shook his head indifferently, and didn't make much excuses, just stared at Xia Jin's eyes very seriously and said:

"I have something more to want."

For the first time ever, Xia Jin felt a little guilty when he was stared at by these eyes.

The air must be bad today.

**

It's rare for He Zheng to have the opportunity to stay in Zhuangzi for a long time. The two of them are considered old friends. Naturally, they want to take this opportunity to have fun for a few days. There is nothing to do in Zhuangzi, so Xia Jin called Xia Yu and Xia Huan to go together. Lake tour.Although the battle ahead is tight, not all places have been affected. The He family is a century-old family with deep roots. At the beginning, because they had foreseen such a day, they moved the whole family early to settle in a place far away from the battle line, leaving only He Cheng as the same Concubine Hui and He Zheng are still struggling in the whirlpool of power.I have to say that there is some reason for those century-old families to survive the ups and downs safely, at least they know how to give up as soon as possible when they should give up, even if it is of their own blood.

The surname is big.

The prosperity of a surname is not only the credit of one person, so it is impossible to lose the honor, wealth and lives of the whole clan for just one or two people. The princes and nobles who are on the cusp of the storm exist longer.

"The scenery of Luoxia Lake is at its best when the sun is setting. If it's still early in the day, I'd better go shopping elsewhere."

Xia Huan is a person who likes to wander around, but he knows more about the good places around this house than He Zheng, the owner, so Xia Jin also throws it to him to find out, and they just follow along.

It has to be said that Xia Jin and Xia Yu are like brothers of the same mother to a certain extent, and they have become more and more similar in the past few years: they are quiet and don't like to move. In a word, they are surprisingly lazy.

Xia Jin always likes to tease Xia Huan, saying that he is not like a big family member, not a second-bedroom student, but a third-bedroom student. Because Xia Huan hates the third-bedroom student, Xia Huan always doesn't like to hear these things. He wanted to fight with Xia Jin for a while, but someone didn't have a long memory and kept talking about it. After three years, Xia Huan was forced to get used to it, and his hatred for Sanfang was also somewhat restrained.

Of course Xia Jin didn't have nothing to do to tease him for fun. Xia Huan always had a deep hatred for Sanfang. Lost his life, but the more so, the less he can show his hatred on the bright side.Then Mr. Xia is a scheming man, and Xia Huan is an impulsive one who doesn't care about it. It's good if he doesn't meet him in the future. If he meets Xia Jin, he doesn't think that Xia Huan's ability can beat Mr. Xia.

Jiangshan is easy to change, nature is hard to change, and others can't help, Xia Jin can only try to let Xia Huan get used to others mentioning the third bedroom to eliminate unnecessary troubles.

"You haven't caught up with the good time. If you wait until the Lantern Festival to see what is available in the market, a street is full of all kinds of lanterns, and everyone is holding one. Even the galaxy on that day is not as bright as it is here. In the past The ladies who stay behind closed doors will also wear veils and come out. If someone looks right, someone will come to propose marriage the next day. You don’t know, because there are so many people always crowded around, no matter how tightly guarded the servants and maids are It is inevitable to be bumped. Some of the scarves fell off and the shoes fell off. The strangest thing is that once I saw someone in the middle of the road squeeze out the bellyband. Tell me, is this intentional or is it really crowded? .”

Xia Jin and Xia Yu looked at each other, and they both saw pity in their eyes. The two brothers patted Xia Huan on the shoulder in a tacit understanding. Xia Jin took the lead and said:

"Uncle and aunt are not around and can't arrange marriage for you, so it's hard for you."

"What are you talking about?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense? You know in your heart that it's all men who need to hide in front of us. Walk around, and the others don't have to go shopping. I'll take you to put out the fire."

Xia Yu is the oldest and is used to seeing the ups and downs of aristocratic families. Over the years, her temperament has become more free and unrestrained. She has long since lost the gentle and bookish spirit of the past, but she is a bit of a celebrity. Literati and inkmen always like to wander there, recite poems and compose wine tasting and discuss poetry, but it is also a place where celebrities and refined scholars gather.

Xia Yu opened his mouth and Xia Jin naturally followed suit. He had gone in for a few times in his previous life and found it boring, but now that the people in his company have changed, it has a different feeling. The key is——Xia Jin secretly planned in her heart. Tonight, Xia Huan must be sent out for the first time. Who told him to say that he lost his health today.

Xia Jin, who was still having a good time, didn't notice He Zheng's deteriorating expression behind him, but Xia Yu saw it, but this man took a folding fan and walked lightly, and didn't intend to remind him at all.

The town that Zhuangzi relies on is not that big, and the Qin Tower is not as luxurious as Xia Jin visited in Beijing in her previous life, but it is rare and elegant.

"Why did you close the door?"

"It's always opened at a later time, and it's not for the sale of daily necessities, rice, oil and salt. Who do you think will come here early in the morning?"

Xia Yu went to the door and knocked, and after a short while, a squatting man came out, Xia Yu handed over a piece of silver, presumably the two were acquainted, and the man followed Xia Yu with a smile before saying a few words When they came out, Xia Jin and the others looked confused but were too embarrassed to ask more questions, so they just followed Xia Yu.

A few people came down from the stone steps. The Qin Tower was built by water. At the foot of the stone steps was a river leading directly to Luoxia Lake. There were some boats parked on the bank of the river, and a few boatmen were sitting and chatting on the bank. Several people greeted him hurriedly and said:

"How many young masters are going to swim in the lake?"

"Exactly. Choose a spacious one. Drinks, tea and fruit are all ready. I want to grill fish in the middle of the lake at noon. Please prepare everything you need."

These very familiar words made Xia Huan feel ashamed. Although he was familiar with this area, he had never been to Qin Lou, and he didn't even come here often. I'm sorry.

Well, no one has the guts to go to the Qin Tower alone for the first time. You can ask those young masters who play Huajian, who dared to run to the Qin Tower since they were born, and they were all dragged in by their friends. Since then, I can't leave him anymore. Although Xia Huan loves to play, he doesn't like to socialize with others. Occasionally, a few friends are very decent and don't want to come here. personnel results.

"What are you doing in a daze, get on the boat quickly."

Xia Yu was urging at the side, Xia Jin and Xia Huan, who were dumbfounded, hurriedly followed their elder brother to the boat, and He Zheng also followed silently all the way, with a cold face that almost scared the smiling boatman into to the water.

The painting boat was extremely spacious, and after everyone sat down, they could only hear a yell from outside, and the boat left the shore with a slight bump. Under the rowing of this square boat, fishtail-like lines emerged.

"What's the matter? Does Qin Lou also have a side job?"

Xia Jin was really curious and couldn't help but ask aloud. He also went to Qinlou in Beijing in his previous life, but there was no water there, so there were not so many novel things.

"The people who come here to sell gold are not limited to those fat-headed and big-eared laymen who only understand women's sex. For the sake of the guests' elegant taste, Qinlou has added this work. It does not open during the day, and only let these boatmen support the boat. Let the guests play in the lake, the scenery of the lake and mountains is worth seeing, even those who don’t like the scenery are willing to fish and grill fish in the center of the lake, and those who are lazy can take a boat to sleep in the lake, which is very comfortable.”

Xia Jin felt that Xia Yu had been sleeping in the center of the lake for not seeing her these days.

Xia Huan and Xia Jin looked at each other, no wonder they were brothers, but now they wanted to go somewhere.

"Luoxia Lake is extremely wide, and the time spent in the day just for more than half of it is over. In the evening, I just took this boat back to Qinlou. There is a beautiful woman waiting there, just sit and wait with open arms, and so on. The comfort is something you can’t enjoy at leisure in Beijing and China.”

What Xia Yu said was so enticing that even Xia Jin and Xia Huan were a little moved when they heard it. During this period, He Zheng kept silent and only stared at Xia Yu suspiciously. The latter didn't care. It's just a joke.

Heh, this age of nearly four years old is not unreasonable.

The boat didn't slow down until it got into the lake, and then it kept paddling slowly around a distance not far from the shore. The people inside were eating wine and tea or joking with each other, but it was rare for them to be at ease. Find a few fishing rods, throw down a handful of fish food, and quickly hook them down. None of them are very good at fishing, so Xia Yu even pressed the fishing rods down his legs and lay down on the deck with a straw hat. He went to sleep with a face down, but Xia Huan was having fun fishing seriously, while Xia Jin and He Zheng were sitting on the other side of the boat playing with the fishing rods in their hands.

"Where are you really going at night?"

"It's just a fresh picture. I haven't seen it before. Now that there are so many people, it happens to be a lively place."

Going to Qinlou in this day and age is very normal, and there are few young people who have never been there, so it is not an exaggeration for Xia Jin to say this, but it is a different feeling to He Zheng's ears.

"It's just that some vulgar fans are worth seeing. If you really like to go back to the house and look in the mirror, don't you look better than them?"

Xia Jin: ...

Silently, he was stabbed again, he really wanted to kick this guy into the water, dare to put it bluntly, if he just said that he looks like a woman, he would be able to make up his mind and do it straight away!

He Zheng didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said, in fact he just thought Xia Jin was prettier than women, so he never looked women in the eye.

Of course men don't look either.

I don't know when it started, but after he came to his senses, he was used to only pretending to be this person in his eyes.It's just that this person is always restless, and he has to tie a rope to his body to be at ease, otherwise he will worry about being coveted by others wherever he goes with such a face.

"Why are you judging people like this? Go fishing quickly. I'll get some sleep first. I still have to stay up late at night. I need to be more energetic."

After speaking, he pressed the fishing rod down his legs, took a straw hat and covered his head, and lay down on the deck to sleep. As I said earlier, Xia Jin and Xia Yu are very similar, and the posture of lying down is not much different.

He Zheng took a deep look at the straw hat, and looked away before he was about to see through the hat.

Someone secretly clenched his fist.
