Those days when Mrs. Yazhai

Jie'er fell behind and Shen Qi didn't want to let Chang'an teach him.

He looks like a man now, although many people have accepted him, but he still feels that there will be a few people who will be awkward.

He was afraid that it would be too much and everyone would come to see him.

This might make those people hate him even more.

Chang An looked at his awkward appearance, although he felt a little confused, but also a little more cute, "What's the matter, madam?"

Shen Qi picked up a melon vine, carefully pressed it to the ground, and then replied in a low voice: "It's nothing, it's outside, it's better to pay attention."

"Afraid that others will see it?"

Shen Qi nodded slightly.

"So what if you see it? The two of us are worshiped by them. They all know that you are my wife."

"But...that was before."

Chang An said softly, "It's the same now, Madam doesn't have to be so careful everywhere."

Shen Qi remained indifferent, buried his head on the ground to pick up small clods.

Chang An has always wanted to tell Shen Qi that the only one who is still brooding about his life experience is Shen Qi himself.But he was also afraid that he would hurt Shen Qi if he could not control his tone, so he sighed helplessly and followed Shen Qi first.

Xiao Yin kept paying attention to Shen Qi and the others, and heard the conversation between the two clearly.

She complained to Qiao'er: "It's all your fault, why did you say that just now?"

Ke'er felt quite innocent, "I'm not praising them for their love."

Xiaoyin gave her a blank look, "How can you boast like that?"

Ke'er picked up the small clod on the ground, and said aggrievedly: "Then it's okay if I was wrong, I will apologize to my cousin."

Jie'er's so-called apology is to let Shen Qi take her down the mountain to play, which is called "relaxation".

At first Chang An was worried and insisted on following, but he gave up the idea of ​​following along with Ke'er's reassurance.

He thought, Jie'er and Shen Qi are relatives, they should be more comfortable together.

It's better to catch up early than coincidentally. None of them thought that it was the bustling time at the foot of the mountain: the streets were covered with colorful lights as far as they could see.

Ke'er was so curious that he casually stopped a passerby and asked, "Excuse me, is there any happy event?"

The man looked beaming, "Zhuangyuan Lang is going back to his hometown in two days, and he is going back to pick up his parents."

"The number one scholar?" Shen Qi asked, "But the son of Uncle Lu who sells candied haws?"

The man nodded and said: "That's right, it's the son of Lu's family. He really honored his ancestors, and even brought us along."

After the man left, Ke'er asked curiously: "The number one scholar? Is it Lu Heng?"

Shen Qi asked back: "You know each other?"

Jie'er and Shen Qi walked forward slowly, recalling the first time she saw Lu Heng.

"He lived in my house for a while. At that time, I thought he was someone adopted by my father. Only later did I hear that he was the No. [-] in the new school."

Shen Qi frowned, not quite understanding, "Why is he staying at your house?"

Hearing this, Jie'er stopped in his tracks, looked around for a while, and then whispered in Shen Xi's ear: "I overheard it, my father said when he was talking to him that he must destroy the second prince."

Shen Qi's heart skipped a beat, and then he remembered the matter of the second prince.

Ke'er pulled him forward again, still chattering about Lu Heng, "Cousin, let me tell you, Lu Heng is very good-looking, the kind of gentle and elegant, refined and refined good-looking. And he knows Especially a lot, and he can draw. He didn’t think that I was ignorant of reading a picture book, he said that no matter what book he read, it was always useful, and he even drew a book for me.”

Shen Qi looked at the appearance of the young girl Huaichun in Ke'er, and joked, "Does Ke'er like the number one scholar?"

Ke'er blushed and retorted: "What nonsense is my cousin talking about! This is called appreciation! Do you understand appreciation!"

Shen Qi was helplessly yelled at by Ke'er, so he followed her and said, "Okay, it's appreciation."

"But I didn't expect his hometown to be here." Ke'er murmured, "I hope to see him again if we have a destiny."

Shen Qi saw the disappointment in Ge'er's tone, he patted Ge'er's head, and comforted him, "I will definitely see him, and I will visit him with you when he comes back. Uncle Lu sells the best candied haws Eat it, you must try it."

The two walked aimlessly for a while before Ke'er suggested, "Where are we going to play? We can't keep walking like this."

Shen Qi tilted his head and thought for a while, then his eyes lit up, and he said, "Why don't I take you to listen to the story?"

"Listen to the story?"

——

Shen Qi took Jie'er to the tea house in Chang'an.

They found an inconspicuous place to sit down, ordered another pot of good tea, and the story just started.

But what Shen Qi didn't expect was that he would be the protagonist of today's story.

"The fourth prince in the palace was kidnapped a few days ago, and his whereabouts are still unknown, but our emperor is not in a hurry at all, and didn't send anyone out to look for it."

Some of the audience in the audience were curious, so they asked: "Why? Isn't that a prince?"

The storyteller on the stage smiled slightly, and his tone was full of regret: "The mother and concubine of the fourth prince was a high-ranking empress back then, but it's a pity that the concubine's life was short-lived, and she left the fourth prince early. She went Afterwards, the emperor became sick with longing, and whenever he saw the fourth prince, he would think of the empress, and gradually began to dislike the existence of the fourth prince."

Someone in the audience said with emotion: "The emperor is really affectionate."

Someone else said: "Why doesn't the emperor transfer his affection for the empress to the prince? That's the son of the two of them."

The storyteller also sighed, "Who can tell the feelings in this world? What does the emperor think? We ordinary people can't figure it out. In short, the fourth prince has become the most unfavorable prince."

The audience discussed:

"I heard that the emperor is seriously ill, and a candidate for the throne has been drawn up."

"If the empress was still there, then the fourth prince might inherit the throne."

"It's a pity, the prince without his mother can't get any benefits."

"But our emperor is really affectionate."

"Yup……"

"that is……"

Hearing those people's discussion, Ke'er felt angry.

deep feeling?She felt that the man did not deserve the word.

She patted the table, stood up and wanted to argue with the storyteller on the stage, but Shen Qi quickly grabbed her and persuaded: "Jie'er, forget it."

He has always known that the folk stories are not quite the same as the facts, and he is also angry with everyone for saying things like this, but he really doesn't want to cause trouble.

"Forget what? They reversed black and white and just forget it?"

A listener noticed them and yelled at them: "How did the little girl talk? How did we turn black and white?"

"The emperor is affectionate? Pooh!"

"Putting one's first wife into limbo and ignoring her, leaving her to fend for herself, and not allowing her relatives to visit. Is this affectionate?"

Shen Qi tugged at Jie'er's sleeve, and motioned her to stop talking, for fear that her identity would be exposed if she continued talking.

Unconvinced, Ke'er shook off Shen Qi's hand, and just wanted to tell the truth regardless.

"Do you know what the emperor was doing on the day she died? He set up fireworks around the palace to celebrate the birth of the fifth prince. Her body was completely cooled before the palace sent someone to notify her family."

"We want to get back my aunt's body. Do you know what that stinky man did? He didn't even give me the body. He burned my aunt's body and scattered the ashes, threatening to make her a lonely soul." ghost!"

"This is what you call deep affection!"

As soon as the word "aunt" came out, Shen Qi closed his eyes, thinking: It's over, it's exposed.

Sure enough, someone in the audience asked, "Who is the little girl?"

Before Shen Xi could say anything to settle the matter, a few tall men among the audience drew out the soft swords hidden in their waists and walked towards them.

Ke'er was still panting heavily, not paying attention to those people at all.

At that moment, Shen Qi felt that something was wrong, pulled the boat and ran outside.

The few people chased after seeing their feet.

The audience in the room and the storyteller on the stage looked at each other.

"That little girl just now..." Someone said doubtfully, "Could it be the youngest daughter of the Ye family?"

There was another discussion in the audience:

"Who were those people just now? They still held swords in their hands."

"I heard that Prime Minister Ye is now doing his best to help the eldest prince. I'm afraid he made enemies unintentionally, so he came to vent his anger on his little daughter."

Someone asked worriedly: "Then do you want to report to the police? Will it kill someone?"

"Forget it, Prime Minister Ye's enemies will be managed by the government in our small place?"

"That's right, let's continue drinking tea."

"Yeah, don't mind your own business."

"exactly……"

After changing the subject, I returned to the story that Keer just told:

"But is what the little girl just said believable?"

"How can you believe it? How old was she when her aunt passed away, who would believe it if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes?"

"Too……"

Although Shen Qi is not very familiar with Shanxia, ​​he is still more familiar with those people with swords.

He took Ke'er to a narrow street and hid for the time being. After he had recovered his breath, he had time to say something to blame Ke'er: "Jie'er is too impulsive, I shouldn't tell them the truth."

When Ke'er was being dragged away, she inadvertently glanced back, and she was terrified when she saw the men holding soft swords.

Even though she was still in shock at the moment, she still retorted Shen Qi unconvinced: "Why didn't you say it? They just talk nonsense without knowing anything, and Auntie will not rest in peace under Nine Springs."

"Because this story is what the emperor wants everyone to see, so everyone believes it, and what you say is useless."

"Then say it!"

Suddenly, several people with long swords appeared on the other side of the street.

Shen Qi confirmed that these were not those people just now.

"Ji'er, run!"

Shen Qi pulled the boat and was about to run again, but those people had already arrived in front of them.

One of them showed a disgusting smile and said, "Fourth Prince, don't run away."

Shen Qi protected Jie'er behind him, pretended to be calm and said: "How many people are the third princes?"

The person said again: "No, we belong to the Fifth Prince."

Ke'er shouted loudly: "Impossible!"

"Why is it impossible?" As he said that, the man took out a jade pendant and asked, "Miss Ye, look, is this a token of the Fifth Prince?"

Ke'er's heart suddenly turned cold.That jade pendant indeed belonged to the Fifth Prince, she was most familiar with it.

Because it was from her.
