The king was wrong

"Rebel!"

Qi Yaoqing only heard a roar from far to near, and he sneered, knowing that Qi Xiaosu must have felt ashamed and came to Xingshi to question his guilt.

He retracted his half-stretched hand, straightened his clothes according to the situation, his movements were unhurried, very calm.

After doing all this, Qi Yaoqing turned around, stood still facing the gate of the Duke's Mansion, looked in Qi Xiaosu's direction through a layer of red hijab, and waited to see what he wanted to do next.

It's just because he covered his head that he couldn't see Wei Yanxi's frown slightly at the moment he withdrew his hand.

On the other hand, Qi Xiaosu was probably out of breath, and now he was walking towards Qi Yaoqing with big strides, and he raised his hand to hit him.

"You bastard!"

How could he know that before he got close to Qi Yaoqing, there was a purple figure inserted between them at the right time, and quickly clasped Qi Xiaosu's raised right hand.

"Uncle Qi." Zhu Yaozi shouted with a smile, a innocent and harmless smile appeared on his face, as if he didn't see the anger on Qi Xiaosu's face at all.

"Well, Xian... nephew? Why are you here?" Qi Xiaosu was stunned for a moment when he saw Zhu Yaozi's bright smiling face at first glance, and even the anger on his face disappeared a lot.

It's just that he soon remembered that the housekeeper had said that Qi Yaoqing was led out by Zhu Yaozi instead of Qi Haoyuan, so his face turned dark again immediately, and even the amiable eyes he looked at Zhu Yaozi were no longer as amiable as before.

Zhu Yaozi naturally noticed the changes in Qi Xiaosu. He put down Qi Xiaosu's raised hand with an undiminished smile, and brushed the dust off his sleeves for him, and said kindly: "Uncle Qi's clothes The sleeves are dirty, my nephew will dust them off for you."

Qi Xiaosu frowned and watched Zhu Yaozi pat his sleeve lightly, with a serious expression as if there was really some dust there.

"Nephew, get out of the way first, uncle has something to talk to that naughty son." Qi Xiaosu said to Zhu Yaozi in a calm tone as he was patient.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yaozi had no intention of getting out of the way at all. Not only did she not give way, but she also looked at Qi Xiaosu blankly and asked, "Nizi? Where did you get Nizi? This is a great crime of lax family governance."

As soon as Qi Xiaosu heard this, he knew that Zhu Yaozi was going to stop him to the end.The crime of lax family management can be big or small. If it is small, it is just a trivial matter in the house, and it will not be on the stage. But if it is big, it is related to the majesty of the country, and if it is not done well, it will be scolded.

But on the one hand, he couldn't speak to Zhu Yaozi, and on the other hand, due to Zhu Yaozi's status as the first assistant son, he couldn't call his family to fight against him. .

"Oh, it turns out that the first assistant son is here. It's the fault of our Duke's mansion. It's just that you don't go to the guest seat in the front hall. What are you doing here?"

A high-pitched voice sounded, it turned out that it was Mrs. Zhao who saw Qi Xiao Suman standing there for a long time unable to answer a word, and was anxious, so she rushed forward desperately.

And her words were also a reminder to Qi Xiaosu that Zhu Yaozi was not from the Qi family, and instead of staying in the front hall with the other guests, she went to the backyard to find Qi Yaoqing privately, which was a fault first.If he really wanted to say that Qi Xiaosu was not strict in running his family, then they could accuse him of meeting the princess privately, which was inconsistent with etiquette.

After all, Qi Xiaosu is a smart person, and he just lost his mind because he was too angry.Now hearing Zhao Shi's suggestion, she immediately understood what she meant.

Qi Xiao straightened his clothes, and now he was not angry anymore, he stood there calmly, with a half-smile and said: "Yes, I didn't know that the first assistant son would secretly see the concubine to be married. Nephew Zhu Xian did something that violated the etiquette today, and forcibly intervened in my lord's training, it really shouldn't be. Why, is this the case of the tutor in the residence of Mr. Shoufu?"

Hearing this, the smile on Zhu Yaozi's face faded a lot.He really didn't expect that Mrs. Zhao would be so thoughtful, and she would lead all the mistakes to him with a single sentence.It stands to reason that he and Qi Yaoqing are both men, and they have been friends since they were young. It is no big deal to meet him once or twice before getting married.But if it fell into their mouths, it would become a big crime of meeting the princess privately and tarnishing her innocence.If not, Qi Yaoqing's reputation will be damaged.

Zhu Yaozi looked at Zhao shi calmly, disgusted in his heart.This woman's eyebrows and eyes are full of snobbery, just like her good son and daughter.

Wait a minute, her...beautiful son?

Thinking of this, Zhu Yaozi suddenly smiled, put on an aggrieved look and said to Xiao Su: "Uncle Qi really misunderstood my nephew. Originally, my nephew came to congratulate my father instead of my father, and went straight to the main courtyard. I went there, but on the way, I ran into a girl in the Yaoqing courtyard who was anxiously looking for the prince, and said that the princess was about to go out, but none of the brothers came! I heard that it was okay, the princess was married, and even a brother present No, if this is heard by someone with a heart, wouldn’t it mean that the prince of the Duke’s Mansion doesn’t understand etiquette at all? This is what happened later.”

What Zhu Yaozi said was grandiose, and he successfully kicked the ball back to Qi Xiaosu, and almost carried Zhao Shi back in a fit of anger.

Wei Yanxi folded his arms leisurely at the side, even though the three of them kicked each other without saying a word.From the beginning to the end, his attention was not on the dispute in front of the Duke's mansion, but on the man standing quietly not far away.

The years are quiet and peaceful.

At this moment, Wei Yanxi suddenly wanted to see what kind of handsome and handsome face was hidden under that red hijab.

"Haoyuan...he just had something to do in the courtyard, so he came late."

As soon as Zhao Shi heard that Zhu Yaozi mentioned Qi Haoyuan, his face changed, and he explained dryly: "My brother is getting married, how could he not come to see him off, it's Young Master Zhu, you are worrying too much."

Sometimes success or failure is just a matter of thought, at this moment Zhao's arrogance suddenly became low because of his son's matter, which made Zhu Yaozi even more unscrupulous in a disguised form.

"Heh, Madam's words are strange. Is there something wrong in the courtyard? I really don't know what can happen in the courtyard of a small prince than the princess's marriage!" Zhu Yaozi raised his voice, just enough to make the surroundings gather. Those who are listening can hear clearly, "I'm afraid it's fake if something happens, and it's true if you don't want to come."

As soon as he finished speaking, there were rustling discussions all around.People who had expected to see the grand wedding of King Yong couldn't help but start to wonder now, the princess was married but her brother was not there, how uneducated the prince of the Duke's mansion is.

"Wang... so what if the concubine gets married? I think back then when the empress entered the palace, she didn't have such a big show! He is just the second son, so why should he be so particular about it!" Mrs. Zhao became even more flustered when she heard the discussions around her. Not to be outdone, he poked his neck and shouted.

As soon as she finished yelling, Qi Xiaosu knew something was wrong.Regardless of the empress's pomp when she entered the palace, Princess Yong is the one who is to be married, and King Yong is standing beside her. Isn't it obvious that Mrs. Zhao is slapping King Yong in the face by saying such words!

Qi Xiaosu gave Zhao Shi a hard look to signal her to shut up, then quickly looked at Wei Yanxi, trying to excuse Zhao Shi.

Who knew before he had time to speak, Zhu Yaozi said loudly: "Ha, madam can really open her eyes and tell nonsense! Empress? If I remember correctly, the current empress seems to be just a concubine of the prince when she entered the palace. According to the ancestral system, the concubine is not even allowed to wear the Zhenghong wedding dress, so how can the Duke's eldest son be sent out by himself?"

He specially used the word "Eldest Son" instead of the eldest son, and the irony in it couldn't be more obvious - no matter what other people think, Qi Haoyuan, the son of Sheng Guogong, is nothing to him anyway.If this kind of person can easily inherit the Dukedom of the country, then the future of Lan Dynasty will be broken.

In fact, Zhu Yaozi had been irritating Mrs. Zhao before, and what she was waiting for was her words.He knew that Zhao's heart was arrogant, and if he said that, he would definitely use the queen as an excuse.And as long as she opened her mouth to compare the queen with Qi Yaoqing, she would definitely offend King Yong, and her chances of winning would be even greater.

Having made up her mind, Zhu Yaozi continued to shout to the crowd without waiting for Mrs. Zhao and Qi Xiaosu to refute, "Did everyone hear Mrs. Sheng Guogong's words? Madam, is she deliberately trying to use the empress of the past to suppress Concubine Yong?" Oh, how sad it would be if the empress knew about this, my mother treated my younger brother so harshly, tsk tsk, this Duke of Shengguo's mansion is really amazing, with an empress, even the concubine would look down on her!"

As mentioned earlier, Queen Lanchao is a big shot at the forefront.The people in Kyoto usually don't understand what the queen does, but because of her status as the mother of the country, they dare not discuss it openly.But today is different. Mr. Shoufu is the leader today. Doesn't that represent the position of Mr. Shoufu?With the support of Mr. Shoufu, what else do I have to be afraid of!

Zhu Yaozi was like throwing a boulder into the calm sea, and it immediately raised a stormy sea.

"How dare you compare yourself to the concubine? The concubine is the main wife of the prince. Can she be compared to the little prince and concubine? It's ridiculous!"

"That's right! I just feel sorry for Princess Yong. Look, what a wonderful person she is, to marry in this kind of mansion."

"Hmph, I think the Duke's Mansion is coming to an end, but when a queen comes out, she goes up to the sky. His Royal Highness King Yong has traveled north and south, guarding the frontiers and defending the battlefield. After traveling for so many years, he finally married a princess. , to even have this kind of Yue's house, it's really..."

There were a lot of discussions, some were disdainful, some were indignant, but there was no doubt that they were all directed at Duke Sheng's government.

It is open to the world, no matter who you are or what your status is, as long as you don't deliberately insult royal officials, you can basically discuss political affairs without restraint.So today Zhu Yaozi only added fuel to the flames a little, and stirred up a thousand waves.

Amidst these accusations, Mrs. Zhao kept wiping the cold sweat off her face with a handkerchief, and Qi Xiaosu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.He looked at Mrs. Zhao with disgust in his eyes, and he thought to himself that this woman looks smart on weekdays, but why did she do stupid things when it came to the critical moment.

But at this moment, Zhu Yaozi was looking at Qi Xiaosu and Zhao slumped with complacency, feeling so happy in his heart, he finally did a good deed for Qi Yaoqing and all the people in the world!

It's just that the high-spirited Mr. Shoufu can't imagine how much trouble this incident will cause his father in the near future, and how miserable he will be taught by Mr. Shoufu...
