I really dare not mess with the Queen Mother
Chapter 20 Queen [2]
[one more]
Qin Zhao went back to the mansion, passed the back garden on the way back to the yard, and felt that the flowers blooming today were more beautiful than yesterday's.
It may also be due to the mood. Going forward is a corridor. After the corridor, there is a pool. At this time, the water in the pool is already emerald green, perhaps because the bottom of the pool is full of aquatic plants.
She walked along the edge of the pool, stopped suddenly after not taking two steps, and murmured: "Could it be that Gu Junran really became a little crazy because she lost her son calling her mother?"
She thought again, how could a good-looking person become a lunatic?
In the final analysis, the deep palace is still harmful. It is written like this in TV dramas. When a woman enters the man-eating deep palace, she becomes more and more crazy. Once she enters the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea.
She remembered that when she was writing a book before, she had studied some content, saying that women entered the palace and the emperor couldn't take care of them, so they began to become lonely and cold, and when they were lonely in the deep palace, some empresses still Will cheat on the eunuch...
When she thought of this, she understood Gu Junran's thoughts a little bit. If a woman like her was lonely in the palace, she would definitely not look up to the little eunuch, so she simply found a son like her to play with and raise.
in case……
If this is the case, then Gu Junran is too perverted.
But when she thought about it again, it didn't seem right. There must be some deep meaning behind Gu Junran's recognition of her as his son.
After all, the original text also said that when Gu Junran was young, he almost died in the northern border. Thanks to the mother of the third prince at that time, who is now Concubine Su Chen, she saved her, made her grateful, and wanted to repay her kindness with all her heart. Assist the third prince to succeed to the throne.
But the current plot is a little bit off. After all, the original text didn't say that Gu Junran wanted to recognize the original body as his son, and the intersection of these two people has always been very small, and there shouldn't be many festivals.
The existence of the original body is only the existence of being slapped in the face by the male lead, but the current plot deviates more than 01:30. Could it be that because of his own appearance, the deliberate change of the plot caused other plots to deviate?
At present, Emperor Yuan Qi seems to have taken her to the palace soon. With Gu Junran's perverted appearance, if she really becomes Gu Junran's son, is it true that she will call her mother as she said? ?
Qin Zhao looked at the ripples in the pool, and muttered in his mouth: "God bless you, please don't let me be her son."
Anyway, no matter how the situation develops, the matter of her entering the palace is already a certainty. No matter what Gu Junran is planning, she must at least save her life and not anger her. After all, the original body had nothing to do with Gu Junran before. Conflict, she can't make things more complicated.
If she offends Gu Junran, that boss may not know how to punish her.
Just wait and see what happens, don't offend her, don't provoke her.Moreover, she thought about the tone of Gu Junran's words to her today, it didn't seem that it was because she was afraid of her being the first-born prince, and she also made it clear that she would not give birth to a child for Emperor Yuanqi...
Thinking of this, Qin Zhao suddenly couldn't figure it out.
What does Gu Junran mean?
She didn't want to give birth to Emperor Yuan Qi, could it be that she didn't like Emperor Yuan Qi?
For some reason, when she thought of this, she immediately felt a lot better.
But when she thought of her going to the palace, she suddenly felt bad again. There must be many rules in the palace, and there are so many people in the palace who don't like her, if she enters the palace, maybe there will be something good or bad.
If Gu Junran really recognized her, then she would be able to save some trouble, after all, who would dare to mess with the queen's son?
Qin Zhao smiled wryly, let's just comfort himself like this first.
-
Two days later, those people in Danzhou who wanted to sue her entered Beijing in a cloud. The weather has become more and more gloomy these days, and it is raining heavily today.
Qin Zhao pushed open the window and looked at the pouring rain outside the window. As soon as she opened the window, the wind roared in. The two wooden windows were pushed outward. On the window sill.
Qin Zhao sighed lightly: "It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, and I'm going to be cold."
When she said this, a young man was pushing the door and coming in.
Hearing what she said, he asked puzzledly: "Little prince, why is it cold?"
Qin Zhao smiled: "It's nothing, you asked me to inquire about everything, have you asked clearly?"
"Oh, I made it clear. I went to see it again just now. Those people in Danzhou originally complained on the street as soon as they entered the capital. Now they are all taken to the Yamen by Jing Zhaoyin." The boy replied: "Oh, by the way, the third prince also went to the Jingzhaoyin Yamen together."
Qin Zhao nodded, she stretched, closed the window instead, and sat down at the small square table.
There was a pot of tea on the square table. Qin Zhao poured a cup of tea by himself, put it to his mouth and drank it with his fingers. It was a little hot, and she didn't want to drink it anymore, so she put it back on the table.
The boy waited quietly below. He waited for a while, but Qin Zhao didn't see a word, and asked, "Little prince, haven't you ordered?"
Qin Zhao raised his eyebrows: "What order?"
"Now the people who want to sue you have all entered the city, and they have already entered the yamen. Don't we do anything?" The boy asked in confusion.
"No need." Qin Zhao waved his hand: "Anyway, I have done everything that should be done, and the third prince should know what to do. You should step back first."
The servant nodded: "Alright little prince, if you have any orders, call me at any time."
Half an hour later, Qin Zhao was practicing calligraphy with a pen in the room. She always felt that the ancient traditional characters were a bit difficult to write. Although she could understand a little bit, it would be very troublesome to write.
According to Emperor Yuan Qi's intention, when she enters the palace, she needs to find a special master to teach her homework, Gu Junran also agreed to this, and thanked Emperor Yuan Qi for his kindness.
It's like I haven't recognized you as my mother, but you can't wait to be my mother.
At that time, Qin Zhao just lowered his head to eat, and refused to say a word until Emperor Yuan Qi finally asked her if she would like to, and she reluctantly said yes.
Moreover, practicing calligraphy is another aspect. After entering the palace, one has to learn riding and archery, martial arts, and a lot of rules to understand. Why is it so troublesome for the ancient princes?
When Qin Suduan came to look for her in the yard, he watched her practice calligraphy at the table, which made Qin Suduan a little satisfied with her.
Qin Zhao turned around when he heard the movement, and when he saw Qin Su coming, he asked, "Father looking for me?"
Qin Suduan nodded, glanced at the pile of words she wrote, and frowned suddenly: "What are you writing?"
Qin Zhao pointed to the words she wrote, and said to Qin Su, "Once you enter the palace gate, it's as deep as the sea, and your confidant is a passerby from then on."
Qin Suduan: "..."
Qin Su was too lazy to talk to her about what she wrote, so he quickly said: "The people from Danzhou have arrived at the Yamen now, Jing Zhaoyin has already taken the leader in, and the third prince is also here."
Qin Zhao nodded: "Yes, I've heard that too."
Qin Suduan said: "If they say something, I'm afraid it will be bad for you, and the third prince may not let this opportunity go."
Qin Zhaoqing shook his head with a smile: "No, I have told you what His Majesty said a few days ago. Since he explicitly asked me to have a brotherhood with the third prince, if the third prince keeps holding on to this If you don't let go of this matter, you will clearly tell His Majesty that he absolutely does not miss brotherhood."
Qin Suduan paused, "But this matter was originally done by the third prince behind his back..."
Qin Zhao said with a smile: "If your majesty already knew that he did it, but he deliberately used this matter to suppress me, then your majesty must not be happy. I don't think the third prince himself should be so stupid. If you come out, you still have to convict me, so the case will be judged before tonight, and now that Jing Zhaoyin didn't call me, the client, it already shows that the third prince doesn't intend to pursue this matter."
"So..." Qin Suduan said, "That's fine too."
Qin Zhao lowered his head and continued to write, and mentioned her name under the two lines of traditional Chinese characters that looked like a dog gnawed.
Qin Su looked at her handwriting from the side, but didn't notice it immediately.
After a while, Qin Suduan said again: "In a few days, the Southern Qi envoys will come to meet His Majesty."
Qin Zhao responded casually: "Ah... why are you telling me this?"
Qin Suduan answered her: "Yesterday, Qi State sent an obituary, saying that the old King Qi died."
Qin Zhao was still puzzled: "And then?"
Qin Suduan glanced at her: "The old king of Qi passed away suddenly, the crown prince succeeded the new king of Qi, and the blood of the second prince was splashed on the imperial court."
Qin Zhao paused for a moment: "So it's the new king who is taking over the throne, come to Wei to announce it?"
"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Qin Suduan said slowly: "The crown prince is the eldest son, but he doesn't occupy the title of heir, and the second prince originally had some power in the court, and the trade between the Wei Dynasty and the Qi State, The second prince has always been in charge."
Qin Zhao asked, "So..."
Qin Suduan said: "So the relationship between Great Wei and Qi State needs to be redefined. This time the crown prince sent envoys here, perhaps for this purpose. But..."
Qin Zhao raised his eyebrows: "Huh?"
"Fortunately, the civil strife in Daqi was quickly quelled this time, and there was no injury in the end. His Majesty sent envoys there a while ago. He originally wanted to ask Qi to send troops. The second prince was originally to deal with it. Originally, King Qi I have to agree. But now that the crown prince is succeeding, everything will be different. Right now, the Liao Kingdom is about to attack, but this kind of thing happened again in the Qi Kingdom..."
Qin Zhao sighed lightly: "So this battle is even more impossible to fight, and there is no chance of winning."
"That's what I said, but I reckon, maybe the prince of Qi... No, King Qi, King Qi sent envoys to Wei this time for another reason." Qin Suduan said slowly.
Qin Zhao asked, "Another matter?"
Qin Suduan nodded: "Many years ago, during the civil strife in Qi, a son of the old king of Qi fell into the state of Wei."
Qin Zhao asked casually, "So, has that son been found?"
"I lost it as soon as I was born, so how can I find it?" Qin Su smiled and said: "That child has taken the title of heir. I guess King Qi should have some plans, perhaps because he is afraid that the child will go back one day. Let's fight him for the throne."
Qin Zhao frowned, "But that kid grew up in Wei, and he might not even know who his father is, so he can still compete with him for the throne?"
"This kind of thing is also uncertain, and the old king of Qi has been sending people to look for the child in Wei State all these years, but the whereabouts are unknown, and he couldn't find it until his death."
Qin Zhao smashed his mouth: "Actually, it doesn't matter if I can't find it, that child is better than my life. There are so many things in the palace, and he is still plotted by brothers."
"This further shows that the old king of Qi attaches great importance to that child, and now the power of the queen mother in the court of the state of Qi cannot be underestimated, and that child is the only son born to the queen mother, after all, he is more legitimate than the current king of Qi some."
Qin Zhao nodded and understood: "So if I am the new king of Qi, I must find that child and kill him to avoid future troubles, right?"
Qin Suduan answered her: "Everyone would do this, let alone the current ruler of a country."
[two more]
Qin Zhao has no time to take care of Qi State's affairs. After all, she is in a mess right now. As for Qi State's affairs, what does it matter to her?
She waited all day yesterday, and before going to sleep, she finally waited for the news that the people of Danzhou had returned the same way. At night, she slept chaotically, and she dreamed about the things before she didn't come to the book.I didn't sleep well all night. After waking up, I ate breakfast and didn't eat much, but fortunately my stomach finally felt better, and I didn't look as sluggish as when I just woke up.
Hearing what Emperor Yuan Qi said, she will be called into the palace in a few days. Now she is full of annoyance, except that Gu Junran wants to recognize her as his son, and because of entering the palace, she will lose her freedom. There are many rules in the palace. She might be punished if she took a wrong step, and she couldn't see Emperor Yuan Qi's attitude towards the original body for the time being.
According to the content of the original text, readers are guessing below whether the old emperor has no feelings for the original body, which led to Emperor Yuan Qi only using the original body to pave the way for the male protagonist to ascend to the throne.If Emperor Yuan Qi really had such thoughts, then she had to be more cautious.
Would it be better if she hugged Gu Junran's thigh?
If she told Gu Junran clearly that she didn't want to be that emperor at all, had no interest in King's Landing, and didn't want to be a prince, would Gu Junran be a little more tolerant to her?
But why would Gu Junran help her?
Fortunately, when she came out with Gu Junran in Wenxiang Pavilion, she had clearly told Gu Junran that she did not want to be the emperor.
If this is the case, then Gu Junran shouldn't treat her as a competitor of the third prince, right?
hope so.
It's just that after entering the palace, there will be no freedom, and it will be troublesome for her to come out at that time, but she thinks about it again, in fact, there is no freedom in the book, other people's lives, other people's worlds.
But now that she's here, she can only take one step at a time. If those people want to trouble her, she can't let them harm her.
Just when she was thinking wildly, someone whispered outside the door: "Qin Zhao, are you in the house?"
Hearing Xu Jingwan's voice, Qin Zhao stood up, walked to the door and opened it.
As expected, Xu Jingwan was standing outside the door, but he was wearing a bright green brocade robe today, and the jade hanging on his waist was no longer the one he saw last time.
Qin Zhao asked him, "What's the matter?"
Xu Jingwan chuckled twice: "It's nothing, I asked my father about what happened yesterday, and my father also said that this battle might not be able to be fought."
Qin Zhao frowned when he heard this, and looked at him again: "If you don't fight, you won't be defeated. Why are you smirking?"
Xu Jingwan paused, and said with a smile: "It's because the old man told me that he wanted to arrange a marriage for me."
Qin Zhao suddenly became interested: "Who is it? Which family's girl?"
Xu Jingwan said a little shyly: "Third Princess, ah... Actually, I think it is very good that the Third Princess is willing to see me this time. Although she did not mainly meet me, I am happy if she can see me."
Qin Zhao was stunned: "Is it... the third princess? The third princess who has been ill in the palace for a long time?"
"That's right, that's right," Xu Jingwan sighed, "Today the concubine is hosting a banquet to entertain the wives in court. My mother is going to take me with her, so I can meet her."
Qin Zhao frowned: "What are you talking to me about?"
Xu Jingwan smiled and said, "Didn't I come to ask you if you want to go together?"
Qin Zhao looked over with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "You won't go to see the third princess, you have no courage, so you drag me to go with you?"
Xu Jingwan laughed at the side: "That's what it means, and those who entered the palace this time heard that the wives of officials above the third rank in the imperial court will go there. If the wives want to enter the palace, they must be accompanied by many young ladies from their families. See you soon."
Qin Zhao felt fresh when he heard his words: "The wife of our mansion is not here. If I go with you, which mansion is it? Is it from your General Xu's mansion?"
Xu Jingwan quickly said: "No, no, your house must have received the imperial concubine's order, but Princess Qi is not here, if you go, you can go in the name of Princess Qi, besides, the old concubine this time His Majesty nodded his head to host the banquet, and the Queen will also go, and His Majesty has specified that he will bring his family, maybe it is to recruit a son-in-law for a certain princess?"
Qin Zhao suddenly understood: "So you can't sit still?"
"Can I do it?" Xu Jingwan said hastily: "If I am slow, maybe the third princess will be married by someone else."
Qin Zhao could only say: "Okay...then what do you mean, let me go with you?"
Xu Jingwan nodded shyly: "Yes."
Qin Zhao was expressionless: "Okay, then I'll follow you, when are we leaving?"
Xu Jingwan said repeatedly: "Night, night! It's the palace banquet tonight, when the time comes, the carriage from our mansion will come to pick you up, and when you come back from the palace, we'll send you back to Prince Qi's mansion with all your beard and tail, how about it?"
Qin Zhao looked at him helplessly: "Okay."
Xu Jingwan thanked repeatedly and went happily.
In fact, Xu Jingwan seems a little unreliable, but she is not bad.
It’s just that the third princess in the original text married a husband who treated her badly, and finally died of depression. If Xu Jingwan really had a deep love for the third princess, and if the third princess had some thoughts about him, if the two were in love with each other, She would be more than happy to arrange the marriage.
The palace banquet was at night, so it was obvious that they would leave in the afternoon. It was still early, so Qin Zhao simply went out of the yard to exercise.
She had just done a few stretching exercises when she heard some movement outside the yard. Qin Zhao opened the door to look, and saw a pair of officers and soldiers walking towards her.
Qin Zhao frowned, and the leader walked towards her directly, saluted, and said in a cold voice, "Hi, Prince Xiao Qi, we are ordered to capture Zhang Heng from your house."
Qin Zhao raised his eyebrows and looked over: "Whose order?"
The leader did not hide from her, and said directly: "By His Majesty's order."
Qin Zhao thought it was funny. It seemed that Zhang Heng couldn't escape this time.
"Dare to ask Prince Xiaoqi, where is he now?"
Qin Zhao paused: "I don't know. I didn't see anyone else this morning. He went out of the house, right? But he usually lives in that house." She pointed in a direction and said, "You can go in and have a look. There's no way we'll find any evidence."
The man listened to her, nodded to her, then waved his hand, and the people behind him followed him into the house where Zhang Heng usually lived.
Those people searched inside, Qin Zhao folded his arms and watched outside, at this moment, a voice came from inside: "My lord, look!"
After a while, the leader said: "Take all these things back!"
Immediately afterwards, those people lifted out two large boxes from inside.
The leading officer was still holding a stack of papers that looked like land deeds. The man walked up to Qin Zhao, bowed his hands and saluted, "Master Xiaoqi, we will take these stolen goods away."
Qin Zhao smiled and said, "Just take it away, I feel dirty if I put these things in my yard."
The man nodded to her again, waved his hand, and led her away.
When this commotion broke out, the servants of the mansion also ran to the gate of Qin Zhao's courtyard to look around, and when Qin Zhao saw them, they all ran away in a hurry.
Qin Zhao smiled and closed the yard door.
Now this matter is finally over. She prepared most of the night last night and stuffed all the gold, silver, treasures and land deeds that she brought from Danzhou into Zhang Heng's room. I saw the land deed of the Wu family that was snatched from Zhang Heng's room.
Meanwhile, West Avenue.
A man was wearing a bamboo hat, timidly avoiding the officers and soldiers searching back and forth on the street.
He bypassed the crowd and came to an alley, at the end of the alley, there was already an old man waiting for him there.
The man glanced back and walked straight to the old man.
Hearing the movement, the old man turned around and said with a smile, "Mr. Wu, you are here."
The man immediately stepped forward, bowed his body and saluted, "My lord, I'm here to get the silver."
The man called Wang Gonggong was thin, but his eyebrows and eyes were sharper, and his face was wrinkled. He squinted his eyes and looked at the man with a contemptuous smile in his eyes.
"Silver? What kind of silver?" Eunuch Wang's voice was high-pitched, and he chuckled.Looking at the man, he asked, "I haven't done anything, and you still want money?"
The man was stunned: "This, this, this... The third prince clearly agreed to the villain, saying that as long as the villain kills him and says that Qin Zhao wants to take my house, he will give the villain money. Why don't you count?"
Wang Gonggong sneered: "Now that things are not done, naturally there will be no money. The third prince asked me to remind you, keep your mouth shut, and you can talk nonsense."
"You guys! Are you going to cross the river and tear down the bridge?" The man was furious: "Now Jing Zhaoyin sent someone to ask me what happened. Do you want me to reveal everything?"
Eunuch Wang chuckled lightly: "How dare you?"
The man was completely stunned.
"I would like to advise you, Mr. Wu, this matter got into trouble. At best, the third prince was scolded by His Majesty, nothing happened, but you have to bear the crime of slandering the current Prince Xiaoqi. up?"
The man lowered his head in silence, gritted his teeth, and asked again: "Then the third prince promised me to let my son enter the Taifu, isn't it a matter?"
Wang Gonggong smiled: "Wu Xianggong, the third prince is very busy on weekdays, and he doesn't care about you at all. Besides, your family is in the restaurant business, and the merchants are inferior. How can the son of a merchant enter the Taifu?"
The man suddenly felt ashamed.
He looked bitterly at the eunuch in front of him, clenched his fists with both hands, finally couldn't hold back, stepped forward with a stride, and hit the eunuch in the face in a circle.
"You, you, you! It's really reversed! It's reversed!" Eunuch Wang screamed, then looked at the man coldly and said, "If you want to survive, then keep your mouth shut. Damn it, don't take the lives of your family!"
After he finished speaking, he covered his face and turned to leave.
Only the man was left standing there in a daze.
At this moment, he only felt extremely regretful. It would be great if he didn't slander Qin Zhao.
If he only said that Zhang Heng of Qin Zhao's mansion did it, and only told the truth to the government, then he could at least keep the house. Now that the house is sealed up by the government, where should he let his family go?
[three shifts]
In the afternoon, the carriage from Xu Jingwan's residence had arrived, and Qin Zhao had already agreed with Qin Suduan in advance that she was going to the banquet of the concubine and the queen.
Qin Suduan handed her the post from the palace to Princess Qi, and before she left the door, Qin Suduan specially smiled and said: "Since the queen is here this time, you can have a good talk with her." baby talk."
Qin Zhao smiled and said nothing. She didn't know she was the queen at first, so she naturally wanted to talk to her more, but now that she knew she was the queen, she became awkward.
She walked all the way to the gate of the mansion, the carriage of the Xu mansion was waiting outside, Xu Jingwan raised the curtain with one hand and looked out, as soon as she saw her coming out, she immediately shouted: "Come here, Qin Zhao!"
Qin Zhao walked over immediately, jumped into the carriage, and only when she got into the carriage did she see that there were already people in the carriage.
A woman looked about fifty years old, probably the wife of the Xu family. When Mrs. Xu saw her, she might have considered her status and looked a little reserved. She didn't come back to her senses until Qin Zhao saluted her.
Madam Xu hurriedly bowed to her, and said politely, "Hello, Prince Xiaoqi."
Qin Zhao quickly smiled and said, "Don't be so polite to me, I'm not used to it, I usually go straight to Xu Jingwan, it's your junior."
Mrs. Xu seemed to be less restrained after hearing her words. The more she looked at Qin Zhao along the way, the more she was satisfied. She only felt that the young man was handsome and he didn't have airs like a prince.
When getting off the carriage in front of the palace gate, Mrs. Xu secretly grabbed Xu Jingwan's sleeve and asked him: "Prince Xiao Qi, is he married?"
Xu Jingwan said in a daze: "No, he just came to the capital and has never been married."
Mrs. Xu laughed and said: "It's time for our second girl to find her in-law's family. If Prince Xiao Qi is not married yet, how about letting him meet the second girl?"
Xu Jingwan quickly said: "Farewell, the second sister has such a temper, I dare not provoke her, Qin Zhao will definitely not like it, and the second sister usually dresses up in men's clothes, and runs to the barracks at every turn, let me see , she looks more like a man than me!"
Mrs. Xu was instantly upset when she heard what he said: "What's wrong with the second girl? Now that your brother is gone, you are not up to date. The second girl is helping your father in the military camp. Is it possible that you want to enter the military camp to help your father?" "
Xu Jingwan pouted unwillingly, thinking to herself, why is the second sister more popular than him?Is it because she can walk through Yang with a hundred steps?
Qin Zhao, who had already got off the carriage, didn't know that she was attracted by Mrs. Xu, she just thought that if she saw Gu Junran later, what should she say, at least she shouldn't talk nonsense without knowing the door.
Just thinking about it, she saw Mrs. Xu and Xu Jingwan got off the carriage. Xu Jingwan walked in front and said to Qin Zhao: "Just now my mother said that she would promise you my second sister."
Qin Zhao was taken aback: "Your second sister? Is it pretty?"
Xu Jingwan shook her head quickly, and he nodded again: "She... how should I put it, I rarely see her dressed in women's clothing. She usually wears armor and spends time in the military camp."
Qin Zhao coughed lightly: "Then, do men's clothes look good?"
She vaguely remembered the first time she saw Gu Junran, that man was dressed in men's clothes, which was really expensive, which surprised her.
Xu Jingwan nodded: "She's actually not bad-looking, she would definitely look good in women's clothing, and she's also very heroic in armor, so she looks pretty."
Qin Zhao said, "Even if she looks good, I won't marry her."
Xu Jingwan was stunned: "Why?"
Qin Zhao sighed: "I don't want to get married. I'm used to being free, so I like being single."
Xu Jingwan retorted: "That's not true. If there is someone to take care of you... Seeing that winter is coming, if you can warm the bed, wouldn't it be great?"
Qin Zhao shook his head and smiled, "No, no, let me tell you, my dream is to find someone I like, and then I feel happy when I look at her, do you understand?"
"Happy? Happy in your heart?" Xu Jingwan couldn't understand: "How can you be happy in your heart?"
Qin Zhao glanced at the direction of the palace gate and said, "That's a feeling. When you like someone, you just want to see her every day, and when you open your eyes, you want to talk to her..."
Xu Jingwan asked curiously: "Then have you ever opened your eyes and wanted to talk to someone?"
Qin Zhao was silent for a while, then nodded: "There used to be."
Xu Jingwan asked: "Then what? Why aren't you with her?"
Qin Zhao took a deep breath: "Because the other party's dream is the sea of stars."
Xu Jingwan couldn't understand: "What do you mean?"
Qin Zhao shook his head with a smile and said no more.
When she was in college, she had been pretending to be poor.
Although at that time her parents had already established a very good business outside, with a very considerable annual turnover, but because she grew up with her grandma, she had never had a deep relationship with them, so she never wanted to move. They wired money to her card.
Originally, college life was boring, but that person appeared, a year older than her, with a gentle and delicate appearance, a girl from the south.
Then the other party found her interesting and launched an active pursuit. Qin Zhao was about to fall.
It's a pity that the girl was still with a rich senior in order to go abroad.
In fact, it wasn't a relationship, but the man took the initiative to pursue her, asking her for her health, and being gentle and considerate.
It was hard not to move her heart, until that person stopped looking for her, and she was already used to the existence of this person at that time, so she naturally asked what was wrong.
The other party just told her that he didn't want to have any disputes with her in the future because of daily necessities.
He also said that she already had a boyfriend and told her not to look for her again.
At that time, Qin Zhao only felt ironic, who is looking for whom?
In fact, she didn't think she liked that senior sister very much, she just got used to the existence of that person.
I am used to seeing the message from the other party reminding her to remember to eat breakfast as soon as I opened my eyes, and I am used to the umbrella that the other party held up for her on rainy days.
Everything is a matter of habit.
It wasn't until she graduated later that she realized belatedly that it was her liking.
After graduation, the senior sister failed to go abroad and broke up with the boy.
She came back to find her and said that she was wrong and shouldn't have abandoned her in the first place.
But Qin Zhao was already used to it at that time, and was used to forgetting the existence of this person. Moreover, at that time, she would take over her parents' company after graduation, and there were a lot of bad things to deal with.
It's a tragedy, not a tragedy.
"Let's go, Qin Zhao, what are you doing here?" Xu Jingwan's voice sounded from the front, and asked her: "You don't miss other girls, do you? Qin Zhao, you have to think about some things in the long run, don't be rigid In the past, look ahead, there are many good girls waiting for you."
Qin Zhao smiled, "It makes sense!"
After showing the pass token to enter the palace, Xu Jingwan followed the little eunuch all the way forward, and Xu Jingwan said in a rambling voice, "Qin Zhao, what do you think I will say when I see the third princess?"
Qin Zhao sighed, "That's what I was thinking too."
Xu Jingwan was taken aback for a moment: "Are you also worried that you don't know what to say after seeing the third princess?"
Qin Zhao smiled wryly: "No, what should I do if I meet another person."
Xu Jingwan said: "Why do I listen, you are more scared than me?"
Qin Zhao said, "It's not a question of whether you're afraid or not, it's a question of being particularly afraid... Anyway, it's always right to say good things."
Xu Jingwan asked: "Who are you talking about? You or me?"
Qin Zhao glared at him: "Tell us!"
Xu Jingwan giggled silly: "Okay, I understand."
The concubine held a banquet in the imperial garden, and the name was that the flowers in the imperial garden were just in bloom, so they could enjoy the flowers and taste the wine before winter.
When Qin Zhao and his party went in, the wives and ladies of various families also arrived, and there were also several young masters among them. Without exception, they were all handsome and good-looking.
Right now, the concubine has not arrived yet, and neither has the little queen.
The sons and brothers gathered together in twos and threes, or talking about poetry and songs, or discussing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Qin Zhao felt that it was really boring, and he couldn't get along with them. On the other hand, those young ladies were much better. He likes to talk, and only sits neatly next to his mother, and only speaks a few words when asked occasionally.
Qin Zhao got up and walked away, hearing Xu Jingwan calling her in a low voice behind him: "Qin Zhao, where are you going?"
Qin Zhao waved his hands with his back to him: "I'm going to make things easier, you should stay here first."
Xu Jingwan immediately reminded: "Then come back quickly!"
Qin Zhao said, "Understood."
She walked along the trail all the way, in front of the rockery, and beyond the rockery was a shallow pond. In the pond, there were a lot of golden fish swimming around, looking very comfortable.
Qin Zhao just came out to get some air, and the group of people were talking politely. She was upset when she heard that, so she simply found a stone by the pool and sat down, staring at the fish in the pool in a daze.
Now the weather has started to turn cold. Even if the imperial garden is like spring all the year round, the cold wind blowing over makes her feel like all the flowers are dying.
A child's voice behind him suddenly sounded: "Who are you?"
When Qin Zhao turned around, he turned out to be a six or seven-year-old doll. He was also chubby, with a piece of white jade hanging on his chest, and he was wearing a blue brocade robe. The patterns on the brocade robe on his chest looked A bit like a dragon, but not a dragon, Qin Zhao guessed that his identity should also be a prince.
Qin Zhao smiled and replied, "My name is Qin Zhao."
The little doll came over and sat on the rock with her, and followed her example to look at the fish in the pond.
After a while, the little baby asked: "Tell me, why can't these fish jump out?"
Qin Zhao answered as a matter of course: "Of course it's because fish can't live without water."
The little baby nodded thoughtfully: "Oh...the empress empress also told me so."
Qin Zhao smiled and asked him, "Who are you?"
The little baby replied: "My name is Qin Jingyan."
Qin Zhao smiled and said, "So you are His Highness the Ninth Prince."
Qin Jingyan nodded and said, "I heard people say that you are my sixth brother, aren't you?"
Qin Zhao didn't know how to answer him, so he said, "Let's count it."
"Yes, it is, and if it is not, it is not. What is it?" Qin Jingyan looked at her puzzled: "Then
Qin Zhao went back to the mansion, passed the back garden on the way back to the yard, and felt that the flowers blooming today were more beautiful than yesterday's.
It may also be due to the mood. Going forward is a corridor. After the corridor, there is a pool. At this time, the water in the pool is already emerald green, perhaps because the bottom of the pool is full of aquatic plants.
She walked along the edge of the pool, stopped suddenly after not taking two steps, and murmured: "Could it be that Gu Junran really became a little crazy because she lost her son calling her mother?"
She thought again, how could a good-looking person become a lunatic?
In the final analysis, the deep palace is still harmful. It is written like this in TV dramas. When a woman enters the man-eating deep palace, she becomes more and more crazy. Once she enters the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea.
She remembered that when she was writing a book before, she had studied some content, saying that women entered the palace and the emperor couldn't take care of them, so they began to become lonely and cold, and when they were lonely in the deep palace, some empresses still Will cheat on the eunuch...
When she thought of this, she understood Gu Junran's thoughts a little bit. If a woman like her was lonely in the palace, she would definitely not look up to the little eunuch, so she simply found a son like her to play with and raise.
in case……
If this is the case, then Gu Junran is too perverted.
But when she thought about it again, it didn't seem right. There must be some deep meaning behind Gu Junran's recognition of her as his son.
After all, the original text also said that when Gu Junran was young, he almost died in the northern border. Thanks to the mother of the third prince at that time, who is now Concubine Su Chen, she saved her, made her grateful, and wanted to repay her kindness with all her heart. Assist the third prince to succeed to the throne.
But the current plot is a little bit off. After all, the original text didn't say that Gu Junran wanted to recognize the original body as his son, and the intersection of these two people has always been very small, and there shouldn't be many festivals.
The existence of the original body is only the existence of being slapped in the face by the male lead, but the current plot deviates more than 01:30. Could it be that because of his own appearance, the deliberate change of the plot caused other plots to deviate?
At present, Emperor Yuan Qi seems to have taken her to the palace soon. With Gu Junran's perverted appearance, if she really becomes Gu Junran's son, is it true that she will call her mother as she said? ?
Qin Zhao looked at the ripples in the pool, and muttered in his mouth: "God bless you, please don't let me be her son."
Anyway, no matter how the situation develops, the matter of her entering the palace is already a certainty. No matter what Gu Junran is planning, she must at least save her life and not anger her. After all, the original body had nothing to do with Gu Junran before. Conflict, she can't make things more complicated.
If she offends Gu Junran, that boss may not know how to punish her.
Just wait and see what happens, don't offend her, don't provoke her.Moreover, she thought about the tone of Gu Junran's words to her today, it didn't seem that it was because she was afraid of her being the first-born prince, and she also made it clear that she would not give birth to a child for Emperor Yuanqi...
Thinking of this, Qin Zhao suddenly couldn't figure it out.
What does Gu Junran mean?
She didn't want to give birth to Emperor Yuan Qi, could it be that she didn't like Emperor Yuan Qi?
For some reason, when she thought of this, she immediately felt a lot better.
But when she thought of her going to the palace, she suddenly felt bad again. There must be many rules in the palace, and there are so many people in the palace who don't like her, if she enters the palace, maybe there will be something good or bad.
If Gu Junran really recognized her, then she would be able to save some trouble, after all, who would dare to mess with the queen's son?
Qin Zhao smiled wryly, let's just comfort himself like this first.
-
Two days later, those people in Danzhou who wanted to sue her entered Beijing in a cloud. The weather has become more and more gloomy these days, and it is raining heavily today.
Qin Zhao pushed open the window and looked at the pouring rain outside the window. As soon as she opened the window, the wind roared in. The two wooden windows were pushed outward. On the window sill.
Qin Zhao sighed lightly: "It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, and I'm going to be cold."
When she said this, a young man was pushing the door and coming in.
Hearing what she said, he asked puzzledly: "Little prince, why is it cold?"
Qin Zhao smiled: "It's nothing, you asked me to inquire about everything, have you asked clearly?"
"Oh, I made it clear. I went to see it again just now. Those people in Danzhou originally complained on the street as soon as they entered the capital. Now they are all taken to the Yamen by Jing Zhaoyin." The boy replied: "Oh, by the way, the third prince also went to the Jingzhaoyin Yamen together."
Qin Zhao nodded, she stretched, closed the window instead, and sat down at the small square table.
There was a pot of tea on the square table. Qin Zhao poured a cup of tea by himself, put it to his mouth and drank it with his fingers. It was a little hot, and she didn't want to drink it anymore, so she put it back on the table.
The boy waited quietly below. He waited for a while, but Qin Zhao didn't see a word, and asked, "Little prince, haven't you ordered?"
Qin Zhao raised his eyebrows: "What order?"
"Now the people who want to sue you have all entered the city, and they have already entered the yamen. Don't we do anything?" The boy asked in confusion.
"No need." Qin Zhao waved his hand: "Anyway, I have done everything that should be done, and the third prince should know what to do. You should step back first."
The servant nodded: "Alright little prince, if you have any orders, call me at any time."
Half an hour later, Qin Zhao was practicing calligraphy with a pen in the room. She always felt that the ancient traditional characters were a bit difficult to write. Although she could understand a little bit, it would be very troublesome to write.
According to Emperor Yuan Qi's intention, when she enters the palace, she needs to find a special master to teach her homework, Gu Junran also agreed to this, and thanked Emperor Yuan Qi for his kindness.
It's like I haven't recognized you as my mother, but you can't wait to be my mother.
At that time, Qin Zhao just lowered his head to eat, and refused to say a word until Emperor Yuan Qi finally asked her if she would like to, and she reluctantly said yes.
Moreover, practicing calligraphy is another aspect. After entering the palace, one has to learn riding and archery, martial arts, and a lot of rules to understand. Why is it so troublesome for the ancient princes?
When Qin Suduan came to look for her in the yard, he watched her practice calligraphy at the table, which made Qin Suduan a little satisfied with her.
Qin Zhao turned around when he heard the movement, and when he saw Qin Su coming, he asked, "Father looking for me?"
Qin Suduan nodded, glanced at the pile of words she wrote, and frowned suddenly: "What are you writing?"
Qin Zhao pointed to the words she wrote, and said to Qin Su, "Once you enter the palace gate, it's as deep as the sea, and your confidant is a passerby from then on."
Qin Suduan: "..."
Qin Su was too lazy to talk to her about what she wrote, so he quickly said: "The people from Danzhou have arrived at the Yamen now, Jing Zhaoyin has already taken the leader in, and the third prince is also here."
Qin Zhao nodded: "Yes, I've heard that too."
Qin Suduan said: "If they say something, I'm afraid it will be bad for you, and the third prince may not let this opportunity go."
Qin Zhaoqing shook his head with a smile: "No, I have told you what His Majesty said a few days ago. Since he explicitly asked me to have a brotherhood with the third prince, if the third prince keeps holding on to this If you don't let go of this matter, you will clearly tell His Majesty that he absolutely does not miss brotherhood."
Qin Suduan paused, "But this matter was originally done by the third prince behind his back..."
Qin Zhao said with a smile: "If your majesty already knew that he did it, but he deliberately used this matter to suppress me, then your majesty must not be happy. I don't think the third prince himself should be so stupid. If you come out, you still have to convict me, so the case will be judged before tonight, and now that Jing Zhaoyin didn't call me, the client, it already shows that the third prince doesn't intend to pursue this matter."
"So..." Qin Suduan said, "That's fine too."
Qin Zhao lowered his head and continued to write, and mentioned her name under the two lines of traditional Chinese characters that looked like a dog gnawed.
Qin Su looked at her handwriting from the side, but didn't notice it immediately.
After a while, Qin Suduan said again: "In a few days, the Southern Qi envoys will come to meet His Majesty."
Qin Zhao responded casually: "Ah... why are you telling me this?"
Qin Suduan answered her: "Yesterday, Qi State sent an obituary, saying that the old King Qi died."
Qin Zhao was still puzzled: "And then?"
Qin Suduan glanced at her: "The old king of Qi passed away suddenly, the crown prince succeeded the new king of Qi, and the blood of the second prince was splashed on the imperial court."
Qin Zhao paused for a moment: "So it's the new king who is taking over the throne, come to Wei to announce it?"
"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Qin Suduan said slowly: "The crown prince is the eldest son, but he doesn't occupy the title of heir, and the second prince originally had some power in the court, and the trade between the Wei Dynasty and the Qi State, The second prince has always been in charge."
Qin Zhao asked, "So..."
Qin Suduan said: "So the relationship between Great Wei and Qi State needs to be redefined. This time the crown prince sent envoys here, perhaps for this purpose. But..."
Qin Zhao raised his eyebrows: "Huh?"
"Fortunately, the civil strife in Daqi was quickly quelled this time, and there was no injury in the end. His Majesty sent envoys there a while ago. He originally wanted to ask Qi to send troops. The second prince was originally to deal with it. Originally, King Qi I have to agree. But now that the crown prince is succeeding, everything will be different. Right now, the Liao Kingdom is about to attack, but this kind of thing happened again in the Qi Kingdom..."
Qin Zhao sighed lightly: "So this battle is even more impossible to fight, and there is no chance of winning."
"That's what I said, but I reckon, maybe the prince of Qi... No, King Qi, King Qi sent envoys to Wei this time for another reason." Qin Suduan said slowly.
Qin Zhao asked, "Another matter?"
Qin Suduan nodded: "Many years ago, during the civil strife in Qi, a son of the old king of Qi fell into the state of Wei."
Qin Zhao asked casually, "So, has that son been found?"
"I lost it as soon as I was born, so how can I find it?" Qin Su smiled and said: "That child has taken the title of heir. I guess King Qi should have some plans, perhaps because he is afraid that the child will go back one day. Let's fight him for the throne."
Qin Zhao frowned, "But that kid grew up in Wei, and he might not even know who his father is, so he can still compete with him for the throne?"
"This kind of thing is also uncertain, and the old king of Qi has been sending people to look for the child in Wei State all these years, but the whereabouts are unknown, and he couldn't find it until his death."
Qin Zhao smashed his mouth: "Actually, it doesn't matter if I can't find it, that child is better than my life. There are so many things in the palace, and he is still plotted by brothers."
"This further shows that the old king of Qi attaches great importance to that child, and now the power of the queen mother in the court of the state of Qi cannot be underestimated, and that child is the only son born to the queen mother, after all, he is more legitimate than the current king of Qi some."
Qin Zhao nodded and understood: "So if I am the new king of Qi, I must find that child and kill him to avoid future troubles, right?"
Qin Suduan answered her: "Everyone would do this, let alone the current ruler of a country."
[two more]
Qin Zhao has no time to take care of Qi State's affairs. After all, she is in a mess right now. As for Qi State's affairs, what does it matter to her?
She waited all day yesterday, and before going to sleep, she finally waited for the news that the people of Danzhou had returned the same way. At night, she slept chaotically, and she dreamed about the things before she didn't come to the book.I didn't sleep well all night. After waking up, I ate breakfast and didn't eat much, but fortunately my stomach finally felt better, and I didn't look as sluggish as when I just woke up.
Hearing what Emperor Yuan Qi said, she will be called into the palace in a few days. Now she is full of annoyance, except that Gu Junran wants to recognize her as his son, and because of entering the palace, she will lose her freedom. There are many rules in the palace. She might be punished if she took a wrong step, and she couldn't see Emperor Yuan Qi's attitude towards the original body for the time being.
According to the content of the original text, readers are guessing below whether the old emperor has no feelings for the original body, which led to Emperor Yuan Qi only using the original body to pave the way for the male protagonist to ascend to the throne.If Emperor Yuan Qi really had such thoughts, then she had to be more cautious.
Would it be better if she hugged Gu Junran's thigh?
If she told Gu Junran clearly that she didn't want to be that emperor at all, had no interest in King's Landing, and didn't want to be a prince, would Gu Junran be a little more tolerant to her?
But why would Gu Junran help her?
Fortunately, when she came out with Gu Junran in Wenxiang Pavilion, she had clearly told Gu Junran that she did not want to be the emperor.
If this is the case, then Gu Junran shouldn't treat her as a competitor of the third prince, right?
hope so.
It's just that after entering the palace, there will be no freedom, and it will be troublesome for her to come out at that time, but she thinks about it again, in fact, there is no freedom in the book, other people's lives, other people's worlds.
But now that she's here, she can only take one step at a time. If those people want to trouble her, she can't let them harm her.
Just when she was thinking wildly, someone whispered outside the door: "Qin Zhao, are you in the house?"
Hearing Xu Jingwan's voice, Qin Zhao stood up, walked to the door and opened it.
As expected, Xu Jingwan was standing outside the door, but he was wearing a bright green brocade robe today, and the jade hanging on his waist was no longer the one he saw last time.
Qin Zhao asked him, "What's the matter?"
Xu Jingwan chuckled twice: "It's nothing, I asked my father about what happened yesterday, and my father also said that this battle might not be able to be fought."
Qin Zhao frowned when he heard this, and looked at him again: "If you don't fight, you won't be defeated. Why are you smirking?"
Xu Jingwan paused, and said with a smile: "It's because the old man told me that he wanted to arrange a marriage for me."
Qin Zhao suddenly became interested: "Who is it? Which family's girl?"
Xu Jingwan said a little shyly: "Third Princess, ah... Actually, I think it is very good that the Third Princess is willing to see me this time. Although she did not mainly meet me, I am happy if she can see me."
Qin Zhao was stunned: "Is it... the third princess? The third princess who has been ill in the palace for a long time?"
"That's right, that's right," Xu Jingwan sighed, "Today the concubine is hosting a banquet to entertain the wives in court. My mother is going to take me with her, so I can meet her."
Qin Zhao frowned: "What are you talking to me about?"
Xu Jingwan smiled and said, "Didn't I come to ask you if you want to go together?"
Qin Zhao looked over with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "You won't go to see the third princess, you have no courage, so you drag me to go with you?"
Xu Jingwan laughed at the side: "That's what it means, and those who entered the palace this time heard that the wives of officials above the third rank in the imperial court will go there. If the wives want to enter the palace, they must be accompanied by many young ladies from their families. See you soon."
Qin Zhao felt fresh when he heard his words: "The wife of our mansion is not here. If I go with you, which mansion is it? Is it from your General Xu's mansion?"
Xu Jingwan quickly said: "No, no, your house must have received the imperial concubine's order, but Princess Qi is not here, if you go, you can go in the name of Princess Qi, besides, the old concubine this time His Majesty nodded his head to host the banquet, and the Queen will also go, and His Majesty has specified that he will bring his family, maybe it is to recruit a son-in-law for a certain princess?"
Qin Zhao suddenly understood: "So you can't sit still?"
"Can I do it?" Xu Jingwan said hastily: "If I am slow, maybe the third princess will be married by someone else."
Qin Zhao could only say: "Okay...then what do you mean, let me go with you?"
Xu Jingwan nodded shyly: "Yes."
Qin Zhao was expressionless: "Okay, then I'll follow you, when are we leaving?"
Xu Jingwan said repeatedly: "Night, night! It's the palace banquet tonight, when the time comes, the carriage from our mansion will come to pick you up, and when you come back from the palace, we'll send you back to Prince Qi's mansion with all your beard and tail, how about it?"
Qin Zhao looked at him helplessly: "Okay."
Xu Jingwan thanked repeatedly and went happily.
In fact, Xu Jingwan seems a little unreliable, but she is not bad.
It’s just that the third princess in the original text married a husband who treated her badly, and finally died of depression. If Xu Jingwan really had a deep love for the third princess, and if the third princess had some thoughts about him, if the two were in love with each other, She would be more than happy to arrange the marriage.
The palace banquet was at night, so it was obvious that they would leave in the afternoon. It was still early, so Qin Zhao simply went out of the yard to exercise.
She had just done a few stretching exercises when she heard some movement outside the yard. Qin Zhao opened the door to look, and saw a pair of officers and soldiers walking towards her.
Qin Zhao frowned, and the leader walked towards her directly, saluted, and said in a cold voice, "Hi, Prince Xiao Qi, we are ordered to capture Zhang Heng from your house."
Qin Zhao raised his eyebrows and looked over: "Whose order?"
The leader did not hide from her, and said directly: "By His Majesty's order."
Qin Zhao thought it was funny. It seemed that Zhang Heng couldn't escape this time.
"Dare to ask Prince Xiaoqi, where is he now?"
Qin Zhao paused: "I don't know. I didn't see anyone else this morning. He went out of the house, right? But he usually lives in that house." She pointed in a direction and said, "You can go in and have a look. There's no way we'll find any evidence."
The man listened to her, nodded to her, then waved his hand, and the people behind him followed him into the house where Zhang Heng usually lived.
Those people searched inside, Qin Zhao folded his arms and watched outside, at this moment, a voice came from inside: "My lord, look!"
After a while, the leader said: "Take all these things back!"
Immediately afterwards, those people lifted out two large boxes from inside.
The leading officer was still holding a stack of papers that looked like land deeds. The man walked up to Qin Zhao, bowed his hands and saluted, "Master Xiaoqi, we will take these stolen goods away."
Qin Zhao smiled and said, "Just take it away, I feel dirty if I put these things in my yard."
The man nodded to her again, waved his hand, and led her away.
When this commotion broke out, the servants of the mansion also ran to the gate of Qin Zhao's courtyard to look around, and when Qin Zhao saw them, they all ran away in a hurry.
Qin Zhao smiled and closed the yard door.
Now this matter is finally over. She prepared most of the night last night and stuffed all the gold, silver, treasures and land deeds that she brought from Danzhou into Zhang Heng's room. I saw the land deed of the Wu family that was snatched from Zhang Heng's room.
Meanwhile, West Avenue.
A man was wearing a bamboo hat, timidly avoiding the officers and soldiers searching back and forth on the street.
He bypassed the crowd and came to an alley, at the end of the alley, there was already an old man waiting for him there.
The man glanced back and walked straight to the old man.
Hearing the movement, the old man turned around and said with a smile, "Mr. Wu, you are here."
The man immediately stepped forward, bowed his body and saluted, "My lord, I'm here to get the silver."
The man called Wang Gonggong was thin, but his eyebrows and eyes were sharper, and his face was wrinkled. He squinted his eyes and looked at the man with a contemptuous smile in his eyes.
"Silver? What kind of silver?" Eunuch Wang's voice was high-pitched, and he chuckled.Looking at the man, he asked, "I haven't done anything, and you still want money?"
The man was stunned: "This, this, this... The third prince clearly agreed to the villain, saying that as long as the villain kills him and says that Qin Zhao wants to take my house, he will give the villain money. Why don't you count?"
Wang Gonggong sneered: "Now that things are not done, naturally there will be no money. The third prince asked me to remind you, keep your mouth shut, and you can talk nonsense."
"You guys! Are you going to cross the river and tear down the bridge?" The man was furious: "Now Jing Zhaoyin sent someone to ask me what happened. Do you want me to reveal everything?"
Eunuch Wang chuckled lightly: "How dare you?"
The man was completely stunned.
"I would like to advise you, Mr. Wu, this matter got into trouble. At best, the third prince was scolded by His Majesty, nothing happened, but you have to bear the crime of slandering the current Prince Xiaoqi. up?"
The man lowered his head in silence, gritted his teeth, and asked again: "Then the third prince promised me to let my son enter the Taifu, isn't it a matter?"
Wang Gonggong smiled: "Wu Xianggong, the third prince is very busy on weekdays, and he doesn't care about you at all. Besides, your family is in the restaurant business, and the merchants are inferior. How can the son of a merchant enter the Taifu?"
The man suddenly felt ashamed.
He looked bitterly at the eunuch in front of him, clenched his fists with both hands, finally couldn't hold back, stepped forward with a stride, and hit the eunuch in the face in a circle.
"You, you, you! It's really reversed! It's reversed!" Eunuch Wang screamed, then looked at the man coldly and said, "If you want to survive, then keep your mouth shut. Damn it, don't take the lives of your family!"
After he finished speaking, he covered his face and turned to leave.
Only the man was left standing there in a daze.
At this moment, he only felt extremely regretful. It would be great if he didn't slander Qin Zhao.
If he only said that Zhang Heng of Qin Zhao's mansion did it, and only told the truth to the government, then he could at least keep the house. Now that the house is sealed up by the government, where should he let his family go?
[three shifts]
In the afternoon, the carriage from Xu Jingwan's residence had arrived, and Qin Zhao had already agreed with Qin Suduan in advance that she was going to the banquet of the concubine and the queen.
Qin Suduan handed her the post from the palace to Princess Qi, and before she left the door, Qin Suduan specially smiled and said: "Since the queen is here this time, you can have a good talk with her." baby talk."
Qin Zhao smiled and said nothing. She didn't know she was the queen at first, so she naturally wanted to talk to her more, but now that she knew she was the queen, she became awkward.
She walked all the way to the gate of the mansion, the carriage of the Xu mansion was waiting outside, Xu Jingwan raised the curtain with one hand and looked out, as soon as she saw her coming out, she immediately shouted: "Come here, Qin Zhao!"
Qin Zhao walked over immediately, jumped into the carriage, and only when she got into the carriage did she see that there were already people in the carriage.
A woman looked about fifty years old, probably the wife of the Xu family. When Mrs. Xu saw her, she might have considered her status and looked a little reserved. She didn't come back to her senses until Qin Zhao saluted her.
Madam Xu hurriedly bowed to her, and said politely, "Hello, Prince Xiaoqi."
Qin Zhao quickly smiled and said, "Don't be so polite to me, I'm not used to it, I usually go straight to Xu Jingwan, it's your junior."
Mrs. Xu seemed to be less restrained after hearing her words. The more she looked at Qin Zhao along the way, the more she was satisfied. She only felt that the young man was handsome and he didn't have airs like a prince.
When getting off the carriage in front of the palace gate, Mrs. Xu secretly grabbed Xu Jingwan's sleeve and asked him: "Prince Xiao Qi, is he married?"
Xu Jingwan said in a daze: "No, he just came to the capital and has never been married."
Mrs. Xu laughed and said: "It's time for our second girl to find her in-law's family. If Prince Xiao Qi is not married yet, how about letting him meet the second girl?"
Xu Jingwan quickly said: "Farewell, the second sister has such a temper, I dare not provoke her, Qin Zhao will definitely not like it, and the second sister usually dresses up in men's clothes, and runs to the barracks at every turn, let me see , she looks more like a man than me!"
Mrs. Xu was instantly upset when she heard what he said: "What's wrong with the second girl? Now that your brother is gone, you are not up to date. The second girl is helping your father in the military camp. Is it possible that you want to enter the military camp to help your father?" "
Xu Jingwan pouted unwillingly, thinking to herself, why is the second sister more popular than him?Is it because she can walk through Yang with a hundred steps?
Qin Zhao, who had already got off the carriage, didn't know that she was attracted by Mrs. Xu, she just thought that if she saw Gu Junran later, what should she say, at least she shouldn't talk nonsense without knowing the door.
Just thinking about it, she saw Mrs. Xu and Xu Jingwan got off the carriage. Xu Jingwan walked in front and said to Qin Zhao: "Just now my mother said that she would promise you my second sister."
Qin Zhao was taken aback: "Your second sister? Is it pretty?"
Xu Jingwan shook her head quickly, and he nodded again: "She... how should I put it, I rarely see her dressed in women's clothing. She usually wears armor and spends time in the military camp."
Qin Zhao coughed lightly: "Then, do men's clothes look good?"
She vaguely remembered the first time she saw Gu Junran, that man was dressed in men's clothes, which was really expensive, which surprised her.
Xu Jingwan nodded: "She's actually not bad-looking, she would definitely look good in women's clothing, and she's also very heroic in armor, so she looks pretty."
Qin Zhao said, "Even if she looks good, I won't marry her."
Xu Jingwan was stunned: "Why?"
Qin Zhao sighed: "I don't want to get married. I'm used to being free, so I like being single."
Xu Jingwan retorted: "That's not true. If there is someone to take care of you... Seeing that winter is coming, if you can warm the bed, wouldn't it be great?"
Qin Zhao shook his head and smiled, "No, no, let me tell you, my dream is to find someone I like, and then I feel happy when I look at her, do you understand?"
"Happy? Happy in your heart?" Xu Jingwan couldn't understand: "How can you be happy in your heart?"
Qin Zhao glanced at the direction of the palace gate and said, "That's a feeling. When you like someone, you just want to see her every day, and when you open your eyes, you want to talk to her..."
Xu Jingwan asked curiously: "Then have you ever opened your eyes and wanted to talk to someone?"
Qin Zhao was silent for a while, then nodded: "There used to be."
Xu Jingwan asked: "Then what? Why aren't you with her?"
Qin Zhao took a deep breath: "Because the other party's dream is the sea of stars."
Xu Jingwan couldn't understand: "What do you mean?"
Qin Zhao shook his head with a smile and said no more.
When she was in college, she had been pretending to be poor.
Although at that time her parents had already established a very good business outside, with a very considerable annual turnover, but because she grew up with her grandma, she had never had a deep relationship with them, so she never wanted to move. They wired money to her card.
Originally, college life was boring, but that person appeared, a year older than her, with a gentle and delicate appearance, a girl from the south.
Then the other party found her interesting and launched an active pursuit. Qin Zhao was about to fall.
It's a pity that the girl was still with a rich senior in order to go abroad.
In fact, it wasn't a relationship, but the man took the initiative to pursue her, asking her for her health, and being gentle and considerate.
It was hard not to move her heart, until that person stopped looking for her, and she was already used to the existence of this person at that time, so she naturally asked what was wrong.
The other party just told her that he didn't want to have any disputes with her in the future because of daily necessities.
He also said that she already had a boyfriend and told her not to look for her again.
At that time, Qin Zhao only felt ironic, who is looking for whom?
In fact, she didn't think she liked that senior sister very much, she just got used to the existence of that person.
I am used to seeing the message from the other party reminding her to remember to eat breakfast as soon as I opened my eyes, and I am used to the umbrella that the other party held up for her on rainy days.
Everything is a matter of habit.
It wasn't until she graduated later that she realized belatedly that it was her liking.
After graduation, the senior sister failed to go abroad and broke up with the boy.
She came back to find her and said that she was wrong and shouldn't have abandoned her in the first place.
But Qin Zhao was already used to it at that time, and was used to forgetting the existence of this person. Moreover, at that time, she would take over her parents' company after graduation, and there were a lot of bad things to deal with.
It's a tragedy, not a tragedy.
"Let's go, Qin Zhao, what are you doing here?" Xu Jingwan's voice sounded from the front, and asked her: "You don't miss other girls, do you? Qin Zhao, you have to think about some things in the long run, don't be rigid In the past, look ahead, there are many good girls waiting for you."
Qin Zhao smiled, "It makes sense!"
After showing the pass token to enter the palace, Xu Jingwan followed the little eunuch all the way forward, and Xu Jingwan said in a rambling voice, "Qin Zhao, what do you think I will say when I see the third princess?"
Qin Zhao sighed, "That's what I was thinking too."
Xu Jingwan was taken aback for a moment: "Are you also worried that you don't know what to say after seeing the third princess?"
Qin Zhao smiled wryly: "No, what should I do if I meet another person."
Xu Jingwan said: "Why do I listen, you are more scared than me?"
Qin Zhao said, "It's not a question of whether you're afraid or not, it's a question of being particularly afraid... Anyway, it's always right to say good things."
Xu Jingwan asked: "Who are you talking about? You or me?"
Qin Zhao glared at him: "Tell us!"
Xu Jingwan giggled silly: "Okay, I understand."
The concubine held a banquet in the imperial garden, and the name was that the flowers in the imperial garden were just in bloom, so they could enjoy the flowers and taste the wine before winter.
When Qin Zhao and his party went in, the wives and ladies of various families also arrived, and there were also several young masters among them. Without exception, they were all handsome and good-looking.
Right now, the concubine has not arrived yet, and neither has the little queen.
The sons and brothers gathered together in twos and threes, or talking about poetry and songs, or discussing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Qin Zhao felt that it was really boring, and he couldn't get along with them. On the other hand, those young ladies were much better. He likes to talk, and only sits neatly next to his mother, and only speaks a few words when asked occasionally.
Qin Zhao got up and walked away, hearing Xu Jingwan calling her in a low voice behind him: "Qin Zhao, where are you going?"
Qin Zhao waved his hands with his back to him: "I'm going to make things easier, you should stay here first."
Xu Jingwan immediately reminded: "Then come back quickly!"
Qin Zhao said, "Understood."
She walked along the trail all the way, in front of the rockery, and beyond the rockery was a shallow pond. In the pond, there were a lot of golden fish swimming around, looking very comfortable.
Qin Zhao just came out to get some air, and the group of people were talking politely. She was upset when she heard that, so she simply found a stone by the pool and sat down, staring at the fish in the pool in a daze.
Now the weather has started to turn cold. Even if the imperial garden is like spring all the year round, the cold wind blowing over makes her feel like all the flowers are dying.
A child's voice behind him suddenly sounded: "Who are you?"
When Qin Zhao turned around, he turned out to be a six or seven-year-old doll. He was also chubby, with a piece of white jade hanging on his chest, and he was wearing a blue brocade robe. The patterns on the brocade robe on his chest looked A bit like a dragon, but not a dragon, Qin Zhao guessed that his identity should also be a prince.
Qin Zhao smiled and replied, "My name is Qin Zhao."
The little doll came over and sat on the rock with her, and followed her example to look at the fish in the pond.
After a while, the little baby asked: "Tell me, why can't these fish jump out?"
Qin Zhao answered as a matter of course: "Of course it's because fish can't live without water."
The little baby nodded thoughtfully: "Oh...the empress empress also told me so."
Qin Zhao smiled and asked him, "Who are you?"
The little baby replied: "My name is Qin Jingyan."
Qin Zhao smiled and said, "So you are His Highness the Ninth Prince."
Qin Jingyan nodded and said, "I heard people say that you are my sixth brother, aren't you?"
Qin Zhao didn't know how to answer him, so he said, "Let's count it."
"Yes, it is, and if it is not, it is not. What is it?" Qin Jingyan looked at her puzzled: "Then
