Chapter 22: 7 Prince Pond, Inkstone Broken

When we returned to the east study room, many people had already arrived in the study room. Li Jingchen followed Qi Chengxuan, who had become stiff and dull, to the corner, took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and books in the bookcase, and started What Wen Gu learned yesterday, even if Li Jingchen had a lifetime of experience, he still didn't dare to rely on what he knew and learned. Instead, he worked harder than before, which also made him discover his shortcomings in the past.

Those who taught the princes were all capable people in the court or great scholars in the world. Of course, their knowledge and knowledge are not comparable to other ordinary masters. Li Jingchen was very interested in what he taught, and he studied it more seriously.

Different from Li Jingchen's hard work, Qi Chengxuan just propped his head and stared blankly at the sky outside the window. The sky after Yinshi looked dark but was extraordinarily clear and clean. Now, the appearance looks even more dull, which is also in line with his image in the eyes of others.

In the small corner, Qi Chengxuan and Li Jingchen were both quiet, in a daze, quietly reading a book, they have always been like this, at the beginning, some people secretly looked at these two people, after all, the stupefied tenth prince and Li Jingchen's father's criminal status They are all famous in Beijing.Over time, if you watch too much, you will lose interest. They have their own excitement.

The last one to come was the Seventh Prince Qi Junchi. The 15-year-old young man looked tall and thin when he was growing up. If Li Jingchen looked carefully at the Seventh Prince, he would find a strange familiarity between his brows and eyes. Li Jingchen's gaze has never stayed on the Seventh Prince for more than a moment, and he has not noticed it until now.

Qi Junchi's mother and concubine is Concubine Shu, one of Rong Deshuxian's four concubines. Concubine Shu is deeply loved by the emperor and gave birth to two children, a boy and a girl. The princess made His Majesty unable to leave her arms and loved her to the bone. She was granted the title of His Majesty not long after she was born. She was the only princess among so many princesses who was conferred the title of Princess before she was three years old. The status is second only to the empress and concubine jade.

According to gossip in the palace, when His Majesty was hugging Princess Xiaoli, he whispered, Xiaoli really looks like our child, she looks a lot like you.

It is not known whether this gossip is credible, but it has been widely circulated among the palace maids and eunuchs. Some people even say that why the emperor dotes on Concubine Shu is because Concubine Shu looks like the emperor's favorite woman, and Princess Xiaoli is like that person.But this gossip was also spread in private, if it got into the ears of the masters, it would have to be skinned.

Of course, these are all foreign words. At this moment, the East Study Room suddenly became quiet because of the arrival of the Seventh Prince Qi Junchi. Although they are all sons and grandsons of the dragon, there are differences in their ranks. Among the princes, the seventh prince Qi Junchi, who is the oldest among the princes, is one of them. The most noble is not only the mother's high status, but also because he is favored by the emperor. Maybe he will be crowned king as soon as he reaches adulthood, and his status is different.

The men of the Great Qi Dynasty held the crown ceremony when they became adults, and they could marry wives and concubines from then on. The adult princes had to enter the previous dynasty to participate in political affairs, and the 15-year-old Qi Junchi was only three years old before becoming an adult.

Qi Junchi smiled at everyone, and sat in the front seat. His companion had already stood there early and waited. After saluting, he carefully sat down on the seat next to Qi Junchi, only a little bit, watching It looks like it will fall anytime.The companion was a little nervous, his hands were grasping together uneasy, the finger bones turned white due to the force, the nails dug into the flesh, and the depression of the meniscus marks appeared, but the companion seemed to be unaware of the pain, and still grasped firmly without loosening. open.

Qi Junchi didn't notice the abnormality of his accompanying reading, as usual, he opened the book and began to review, and when he saw something he didn't understand or gained something, he took a pen and dipped it in ink to circle it. It's not enough to be smart, you have to show some skills.I was so engrossed in watching that the lake pen in my hand poked hard on the inkstone without knowing it, I only heard a click, something fell on the ground and made a crisp sound, the sound was not loud, but it caused the companion to tremble violently After a moment, he pursed his lips tightly and tried to get back to normal.

Qi Junchi also heard the voice, and frowned. He raised his eyes and glanced at it. Unexpectedly, there was a gap in the ancient Duan inkstone that his father gave him, which made a good inkstone immediately become a defective product. Without aura, it becomes like a mortal thing.

Li Jingchen and Qi Chengxuan, who were reading books and watching the sky diligently, were woken up by the scolding in the study room. According to the reputation, it was the Seventh Prince who was scolding his companions.

"I asked you to take good care of the inkstone, is that how you keep it?" The Seventh Prince ignored the black ink on the inkstone and held it in his hands, staining his hands with black ink.When it was shaken, dots of ink splashed, and the body of the accompanying reader was already black.

"Your Highness, I didn't make it. I grind it and it's still fine. I haven't touched the inkstone since I came back, so I don't know how the inkstone is broken." He felt a little annoyed, although his father's official position was not obvious, he also had the title of Marquis of Jian'an, he was a top-notch noble in Beijing, and he was quite talented.The Seventh Prince reprimanded him like a servant, which made the companion very dissatisfied.

Qi Junchi didn't realize that there was something wrong with his behavior, but snorted coldly, "You still dare to quibble, you have always kept my things, but now something went wrong because you didn't take good care of it, and you should be punished instead of just trying to quibble. You just said a few words about you, and you became dissatisfied. Is this how your parents taught you to serve the prince? Who gave you the courage to contradict the prince! Humph, don’t you think the Marquis of Jian’an doesn’t want his title anymore? ?"

The accompanying reader's hand was hanging by his side and clenched extremely tightly, he lowered his head and gritted his teeth, not daring to make a sound.

Just at this time, someone whispered, "The Tenth Prince passed by here just now."

Li Jingchen frowned, as if he had heard this voice somewhere.

After reading it along with him, he seemed to have found a reason to be scolded, and immediately looked at Qi Chengxuan in the corner with burning eyes, and Li Jingchen was taken care of along the way.

Li Jingchen quickly glanced at Qi Chengxuan. After first hearing that the seventh prince's inkstone was broken, Li Jingchen wondered if it was Qi Chengxuan who did it. After all, he held the seventh prince's inkstone and studied it for a while, but after thinking about it, he realized that it was broken. No, Qi Chengxuan is cruel and has an unreasonable temperament, but he is by no means a person who likes to do insidious means, so Li Jingchen chooses to believe in Qi Chengxuan.Just being suspected, he more or less wanted to know what Qi Chengxuan's expression was like at this moment?

I saw Qi Chengxuan staring blankly back at the sky, as if he had just noticed Qi Junchi and the others' gazes, and said nonchalantly, "Brother Seventh Emperor, are you looking for me? But I don't want to leave here."

When Qi Chengxuan said this, everyone suddenly forgot that their brother/His Royal Highness is a strange person who never moves once he is seated.Then the heart of the person who spoke just now is worth considering, probably that person was the one who really broke the inkstone, and the tenth prince was mentioned just to shirk his responsibility.

The people who thought they knew Qi Chengxuan controlled well but turned away their eyes and continued to do their own things, and those who didn't control well showed contemptuous expressions, but these people restrained themselves very well, and the contempt on their expressions was fleeting.In the eyes of outsiders, Qi Chengxuan didn't know what happened, he leaned towards Li Jingchen slightly timidly, and asked in a low voice, "Do you doubt me?" Asked, although it was a question sentence, and a modal particle was added for it, but Qi Chengxuan's tone was affirmative, flat and frightening, with the indifference of throwing stones at people.

Li Jingchen lowered his eyes, turned a page of the book, and said in the same indifferent tone: "Your Highness is an upright person and would not do such a thing." According to Li Jingchen's understanding, if Qi Chengxuan intends to break the inkstone, he will definitely be Seeing the face of the Seventh Prince being spoiled, and making the Seventh Prince suffer from being dumb, this is in line with Qi Chengxuan's bad temper.Taking a ten thousand step back, it was really Qi Chengxuan who broke it first, and he would not pretend it was undamaged, but would put it there blatantly, so that anyone who came would see that the inkstone was broken, and then stood up. Watching the show on the sidelines.

I don't know what Li Jingchen did to please Qi Chengxuan, Qi Chengxuan pulled the corners of his mouth to show a smile, "Well, I'm an upright gentleman." He nodded affirmatively.

"..." Li Jingchen turned his head, unable to look directly at Qi Chengxuan's face.

Qi Chengxuan's light words cleared his suspicions, and he didn't let this matter involve him, but the Seventh Prince didn't stop because of this. Qi Junchi looked around with the inkstone, squinting his eyes and thinking about who was the one who hurt him The true culprit of the inkstone, the inkstone was a gift from the emperor, and if it was broken for no reason, it would be disrespectful to the emperor.

They are all the sons of princes and family officials. Qi Junchi's attitude of treating everyone as a sinner is very offending. Under the staring gaze, they timidly moved their eyes away and lowered their heads, and some people raised the corners of their mouths eager to try...

Qi Junchi was not stupid enough to question others, but the child who was spoiled and grown up couldn't bear the anger in his heart, so he could only vent his anger on his companion, and smashed the inkstone on the companion, "It's all yours!" Wrong, if you can't even do some small things well, I will tell my father that you are not worthy of being a prince's companion, so you can go back now."

The companion was flustered all of a sudden, the inkstone hit him, and fell to the ground with a bang, followed by the companion's young knees, the companion knelt on the ground with his head down and couldn't see his expression clearly, "Your Highness , It's all my fault, I shouldn't have concealed it at the beginning, you can punish me, but please don't drive me away." Although Marquis Jian'an still bears the title of Marquis of the Family, he is not as good as before, and he can become the companion of the Seventh Prince. It is because his father entrusted someone to leave the relationship and gave money to Sheng Guogong to get it. I hope that this job can turn around the family's plight. If he loses his status as a companion, it will not only be a failure of the family's hope , will also bring shame to the Jian'an Hou Mansion.

The young man just didn't want to lose his status as the prince's companion, so he chose to hide it after accidentally hitting the inkstone. The seventh prince loves to show off and has a bad temper. It was the Seventh Prince who insulted the young man a few words, and the young man was dissatisfied that he left the ancient inkstone in the study. How could he have slipped his hands and broke the inkstone today.

"I know it's your fault. If you can't argue, you still have to pray for pity. I will never leave someone like you by my side. Let me go." Qi Junchi was furious when he heard the companion's words. Something's wrong, not only broke his inkstone, but also made him embarrass himself in front of all the princes, he must not stay, who did his grandfather get for him!

"Brother Huang, why bother to get angry over an inkstone!" The room was full of silence, except for the exchange between Qi Junchi and the companion, the voice of the third person appeared much more abrupt at this moment.

Li Jingchen, who was sitting in the corner, clenched his hands tightly. He knew why the previous voice was familiar, it turned out to be him!
